This wharf has been modelled, and It's
erection been entirely superintended by
Counsellor Rahr, Inspector of Customs, and
to whose indefatigable perseverance the
travelling public has highly to thank for
having obtained a convenience and inn
proyement that for many years has sadly
been felt by passengers especially Ladies'
arriving to this place. We cannot there
fore conclude without giving Counsellor
Rahr our warmest and kindest thanks for
this l%ong-wanted improvement to our town;
and further as we understand that in a few
days another great improvement will be
added in the erection Of two lights being
placed near the said wharf for the further
convenience Of passengers arriving at night.

Times, 14M December 1862
The Government has not yet received
tidings from the naval expedition sent
out some time ago for the armed occu-
patton of SANTANA Bay, San Domingo.
The intelligence from there shows that,
in proportion as the Haytien rebels gain
Roadway against their Government the
anxiety of that Government to sell Sa-
mana Bay to the United States and get
its money increases. The treaty making
this cession also still awaits the Senate's
ratification, together with the treaty for
the purchase of the Danish island of st.
Thomas. But the SANTANA Bay treaty is
regarded by the Senate with much moro
favour than the st. Thomas treaty. A
majority of the Senate is said to be firmly
opposed to the ratification Of the latter
treaty, and it is not believed that any IN
ducement can be offered which will change
its opinions.

am happy to inform the Public
that a considerable reduction in
Life Rates have now been made, &C
cording to the tables in our Almanacs
for 1870, which | have now received
for gratis distribution.
[ beg likewise to call attention
again to the "Complete Life Policies"
now first introduced, securing the
following prominent advantages:
LIST. No policy effected under this
system can be entirely forfeited by
the now payment of the premiums.
2nd. The Assured can calculate
for himself the maximum amount of
premium that a possibly be payable
under his policy (the premiums
ing after ten payments).
3rd. The Assured will be relieved
from the necessity ofpaylng premiums
during old age, when failing health
may compel him to retire from bust
ness, and curtail his expenditure.
4th. The Assured has the option
at any time of surrendering his policy
and obtaining in lieu another for a
certain guaranteed amount, in pro-
portion to the number of premiums
paid, which will be free from the
payment of any further ordinary pre-
MUM.

VIZ cannot omit drawing the Public's
attention to a notice in this days issue
from the Agent of the Royal Insurance
Company regarding a very favorable reduc-
ton of Life rates &c.
This Company, being n of the best, or
we may almost say, the best in England,
so far as security is concerned, anything
like a reduction in rates must be looked
upon as a great advantage and we trust
that renewed confidence and patronage will
be extended to it.

The accession Of Nice-Admiral POTTER MS
chief of the Navy Department has already
cnused great dctrlment to the service. Until
his voice became powerful at Washington
gratifying esprit do corps prevailed among
naval officers, whether of the line OF staff.
Indeed, the distinction between line and staff
was scarcely ever mentioned. In the ward
room-the family circle of mau-of.war--all
was harmony and kindly feeling. Our yes
sells Of war were models Of discipline and
effectiveness, because the officers worked to-
gcthcr to promote the good Of the service.
Abroad they were regarded by professional
Judges in other navies as the most efficient
SHIPS anoat.
But that is all past. Where once harmony
and good-fellowship prevailed, dissension and
discontent have crept in, and turned the
pleasant wardrooms into arenas for acrimo-
NOUS discussion of questions that would
never have arisen there had not the Vico-
Admiral unwisely opened the long settled
subject Of relative rank. His General Or.
der No. 100, reducing the rank of the staff
officers, and unjustly discriminating against
them in the matter of pay and emolumcnts
as well as Of rank, outraged the sense Of JUS
tice Of large body Of officers. The line was
left untouched while the staff was treated
with ignominy. OF course, this inj ustice was
not submitted 20 in silence The relative
merits of the two div sons were investigated
and discussed criminations and recrimina-
tons followed, until the line and staff were
engaged in open warfare. The families and
friends Of the parties now join in the quarrel,
and their social relations arc frequently 20.
tally destroyed.
In addition to the wrong done the active
officers Admiral PORTER has injured the
SICK and MANNED officers on the retired list by
usurping power that belongs TO Congress
alone. The effect Of his order has been to
change the pay Of a number Of these officers,
who unfortunately belong to the staff alone.
Fourteen surgeons who received as captains
on the retired list 81 coo year. now receive
only s1,i00. Fourteen paymasters and two
chief engineers suffer the same loss by being
reduced from the rank Of captain to that Of
commander. Ten surgeons have been reduced
from the rank Of commander TO that OF lieu
tenant, and their pay has been reduced FROM
$l,i00 to $1,000 per year No line officer is
affected by this order.
Where Admiral PORTER finds authority
for this act we are at loss 10 know, for
Congress alone has the power to alter
the pay of officers and mon. While
reducing the pay of old and faithful retired
officers, he wastes millions on fancy engines
and the silly alteration of old vessels.
and destroys the spirit and efficiency of the
Navy How long is he to be permitted to in
dulge in these usurpauons?

The spanish Bank In Havana.

With pleasure we publish the following
telegram received by us yesterday from the
Director Of the Spanish Bank In Havana
HAVANA, Feb, 3, 1870.
To Us Editor Of 7As sun, Esle ToTk
SIR: The Director of the Spans Bank H. Havana
presents his compliment you. and has the pleasure
10 state that tlebis of tins establishment have the
or lanOed pro rietor hus refused to admit them
that the shares OF this bank are quoted at 21 per
cent, premium, which Is justified by its credit, aud
by Tho confidence iuspirsd bv tile Government and
that the alarm which ThE sus caused is purely
''"1-" Wy O9s 1sisncSj Ss'"' puENTE.
The telegram from Havana on which was
based our article Of the cath ult.. and which
telegram we copied in our edition OF that day,
stated that " bankers and merchants had de-
cl ned to receive Spanish Bank notes In pay.
ment of bills Of exchange and merchandise"
And, inasmuch US for more than eighteen
months or two years it has been customary
for merchants and bankers in Havana 10
stipulate that half tho proceeds of any sale
made by them should be paid in gold, Mr..
PUESTE must excuse US for doubling the en-.
tire accuracy of his reply; and in this con.
cluson we are confirmed by the following
additional reasons;
/. Import duties all over tho island arc
by law payable one half in gold.
2. The Spanish Bank cashes its notes in
gold only TO n very limited extent $4,000 we
believe each day, and this amount even in
sums not exceeding $20c 10 any single
presenter Of bills.
3, Gold has been for moro than year
past quoted in all tho Havana and other
prices current Of the island at a premium.
The Spanish Bank has an issue of over
thirty.iive million dollars Its assets are
entirely dependent on the ultimate repay
mcnt by the colonial Government of the
large sums loaned 10 II but neither the
home nor the colonial Government Is in any
sense responsible for the redemption of its
notes.
1t has been long known IN Havana, and In
fact all over the island, that O refusal TO Rc-
cept Spanish b ank bills IN payment would
render its author liable to prosecution for trea-
son, and of this no better proof can be adduced
than the following; More than q year ago
tho Havana Railroad Company after much
VA NAAN lois va NAo
agreed to accept in payment bills of the
Spanish Bank, but with the reservation that
they would receive them at the current rate
Of discount of the day, and each day the rul
ing rate OF these same notes was tclegraphed
to all the stations Of the line for the informa.
ton of the station masters Mr., LoPEz
RoBERTs. brother of the Spanish Minister in
Washington, then Civil Governor Of Havana

which he said he considered an act of hos

We are glad TO see stir made about the
sale Of cadetships. But 1t is no novelty. Si1
years ago Mr, boutwell,, then a member Of Con-
gress from Massachusetts, forwarded 10 tho War
Department a letter which he had received offer.
ing him one thousand dollars for an appointment
TO West Point then in his Cin. Aiterward,
when the list of the young men who had been ad.
mit,ed To the Military Academy was sent to the
War Department the name Of the person who
had made the offer to Mr.. boutwell, was among
them. lie had been nppoipted by member of
the House of Representatives from Michigan. ln-
curry was made, and it was proved that the cadet
was the author Of the letter to Mr.. boutwell, Of.
fcring the thousand dollars and thereupon Mr..
STANTON pcrcmptorily dismissed lin, and called
upon the gentleman from Michigan for an expla,
nation OF course he affirmed that he had re-
ceiycd no pecunary consideration for the appoint.
mont and as there was no evidence that be had,
the young man alone was punished.
II il evident that if corruptionis to be excluded
from appointments to West Point and Annapolis,
they must bomade In some different manner from
any hitherto employed. They should not be
given ~ lavors either by the President or by
members Of Congress. Would it not be well to

II sccms that tho reception given by the
Hon. GnrNvlLE TrroR JENKs 10 Prince ARrHun,
at the Brooklyn Club, was a much more bril-
liant affair, aud one in every way more agreeable
to the Prince, than the heavy entertainments
which he was compelled to endure on tins island
The rooms were more beautifully decorated, the
women younger and prettier, and the men bet
ter behaved. What makes this success Of our
distinguished Brooklvn friend more gratifying is
the knowledge that the New York ladies had
indirectly tried to prevent the Prince from accept
ing Mr.. JESKss invitation, representing to his
suite that Brooklyn was one-horse place, en-
tirely unworthy Of lis notice Il was with great
difficulty that the prejudice thus inspired was
overcome, but il was overcome, and, as We have
said, with the happicst results. As we already,
in anticipation Of the building Of the bridge,
reckon Brooklyn rs part of New York, we take
pleasure in publicly according TO Mr., JESEs and
his fair associates the thanks to which they are
EMIT led for saving the credit Of the consolidated
city.

As we predicted, the third column of the
Spanish forces, which left santo Espiritu on the
9th ult., and Puerto Principe on the leth, some
4, 500 strong, under orders Of Gen. COY rsSsouE,
for the purpose Of capturing the Cuban capital,
Nujasa, has fniled.
A message from Havana dated on tho 9th
inst, states that GorRSEcun returned TO
Puerto Principe on the 2sth ult., and adds,
with a circumspection which Is refreshing in
a Spanish telegram, that "a letter states that
hs captured two pieces of artillery" and that
ait is reported that son OF Gen CEsPEDEs, eleven
years old, is among the prisoners captured.'
Apart from the fact that the youngest sou Of
President CEsrEpEs is twenty-five years old, and
sailed hence for Cuba only few days ago, the
text Of tie telegram deserves notice. Docs the
Spanish Government ignore that all the world
is fully cognizant Of the intended object Of Gen.

that itself proclaimed this object with grand
