THE LATEST FROM CUBA.

HAVANA, Nov. 19.--The commanding
general of the department has received
3 communication from the Roman Cath
Ole Archbishop saying 4
A great jubilee fills our hearts when
We announce to your excellency that
among the criminals of the Virginiuss
crew, twenty freely and spontaneously
asked to become Catholics, divine pro-
violence having seen fit to crown the ef-
forts of our worthy priests, through
their means contributing this brilliant
triumph to our holy religion. The
prisoners were turned over to their
spiritual advisers, at eight o'clock in the
morning, and shot at t ,ur in the after
noon, thus giving our priests only eight
hours time to convert the twenty.
The Voc de Cuba publishes rumor
that seventeen prisoners have been shot
at Holguin on account of the recently
discovered conspiracy to cooperate with
the Cubans on the Virginius. There is
no official confirmation of the report.
The same paper says, editorially, that
the laws ought to be enforced energeti.
cally against the conspirators, without
consideration, either little or much, fol
what strangers may say or do. We are
the owners of our homes, and are well
able to manage our own affairs and de
fend our rights.
Advices from Santiago de Cuba dated
the 10Th instant say that on that day
the captain of the British steamer Ni0bt
and the British Consul at Santiago were
in the prison, and had interviews with
the captives who remained alive. L
was expected at Santiago that the Unit
ed States steamer Wyoming would reach
there on the 18th
A grand bull fight is to be given to
morrow in honor of the officers and crew
of the Tornado.
The Spanish colors are displayed in
several of the streets of Havana, on &C
count of the arrival of the now so-calleC
national steamer Virginius at this port

NEW JERSEY NOTES.

The topic in Paterson is the hard
times. One hundred and fifty more
men were discharged yesterday from
the Rogers locomotive shop, by which
the established force OF over seventeen
hundred is diminished to less than three
hundred. In other shops things look
dismal. The corners are crowded with
loungers, who would gladly work if they
could. Beggars, representing families
in genuine want, fit about the streets.
Hundreds of applicants swarm every
morning about the Office of the poor
master, DESTROYS of getting the first
chance to start work. The authorities
are run down with applications, and
have been driven to furnish work at
breaking stone to keep people from
starving. On some days this week over
sixteen tons of coal have been given out
by the city to poor people who might
otherwise have frozen to death.
The churches and citizens are doing
all they can, but public meeting is
spoken of to get some general organiza-
ton of relief started. Nothing of the
kind has been seen in Paterson before
in good many years, and the prospects
are that it will be great achievement
if the winter is weathered without some
one dying from starvation Or want.

TWEEp's CONVICTION.

William M. Tweed was convicted yes
terday on fifty-one of the fifty-five &C.
counts of the big indictment, each ac-
count having four counts. The jury it
seems, agreed from the outset upon
everything but the TO nth count, and
made up their minds yesterday morning
within ten minutes after the receipt of
Judge Davis's final instructions. 1t is
a question yet mooted what the posi-
bic or probable sentence may be on this
verdict. Different views ON this point
are given. Mr.. Tweed was commit
ted pro forma to the City Prison,
but was allowed to remain in custody of
sheriff's officers at his office during the
afternoon and at his house during the
night. 1t is supposed that he will not
go to the Tombs at all. keeping his half
liberty till Saturday, and then, if the
motion for arrest of judgment results
adversely, going to the county Jail,
to leave that in turn for Blackwell's Is
land

THE SUMMIT BRIDGE.

Two or three years ago the board OF
chosen freeholders gave directions for
the construction OF an iron bridge over
the railroad tracks on certain avenue
at Summit. Since that time the work
has been in progress, and recently the
iron structure was thrown across the
track from stone abutments eighteen
feet high.
The total cost of the bridge, so far,
has been about eight thousand dollars,
and but few people believe the money
to have been well expended. In the
first place the bridge is too high" a
ladder being necessary in order to reach
its level'--in the language of hotel
keeper at Springfield. In the second
place it was not necessary, the Morris
and Essex railroad company should
have borne the expense. The road is
but seldom used, hence the uselessness
of the bridge.
