Enmyni,. tstenlr as ns et finc' REY, AND CUBAN ANNEXATION. It seems to be generally believed, that there is some connection between the ab duction of Rey and the secret operations in progress for the annexation of Cuba. The question is. what r'elation do-they bear, one to the other? We incline to the opin ion 'htit the former was only an incident of the latter-that the abduction of Rey was-an event, consequent upon the annex ation project., The only difficulty in ar riving at a satisfactory conclusion in the matter; lies in.the personal importance of Rey.. Ve want the. key to that special purpose-which induced the daring offence against this government, by Spanish offi vials; consummated in the abduction of a" man of Rey's minor standing in society. Alloiving that a secret expedition against Cuoa is in progress in-the United States, there is little doubt but it was originatrd several mouths. perhaps a year ago; while the designe nb.doubt. was conceived much earlier.. The establishment of LaVerdatd, he.. Spanish paper in New York, was svwedly for the promotion of Cuban in dependence; for the gradual enligh'ennient rf the Cuban people upon the advantages ar republican institutions,.and the especial benefits of an alliance with the United States at any future, period. But why published in New York ? In -the first place it could tint be published in Cuba, but all the vigilance and dexterity of the Cuban authorities have been iaisufticient o keep it.ott of the island; it was designed ror circulation there, and there it has cir :ulated.- The United States was the coun ry which most favor.ed Suchi a publication >y its institutions and the facilities of print.. ngl; and New York-the commercial em porium, the great heart of population-the nost suitable place whereat to obtain co alierative infiuences.for the suppoit of the paper, and its purposes*with regard to Cuban independence, and men for the project of annexation, when fully ripe. In :enuection with the prosecution of the ;eneral enterprise fostered by La Verulad. )ersonal intercourse between New York and Cuba was indispensable, and as a natter of course the vigilance of the Cap ain General of Cuba was directed to the letection of suspected individuals upon the Island. But with the usual sluggishness >f Cuban zeal, it appears that a coniriuni :attion fro,, the Spanish Ptimne Minister, vavarez, was necessary to wake up Ron :ali, himself, to. the duties of his office. Spain was awake to the aspirations.of the 3.rcoles, and the hopes and~stsong -desires if ~ccrtin folks in America, before Cuba Alas. The "Pcrl of the Antilles," the ,ri;htest gem in the Spanish coronet, had teen bid for by the Umited States. A com mnissioner for the purchase. at least, had appeared at the very foot of the throne in he American legation; and hereib was the onfession, that a wistful leer had been Itrown across to the island key of the Gulf. Spain was at once upon the alurt, md her emissaries, or spies if you please, vere, beyond doubt, speedily dropped in he American cities. In the coure of vents, two gentlemen. Don Cirillo Villa rerde and .3r. Tolsn, the one engaged in he publication of La Verdad, and the >ther in its dissetination in Cuba, were icked up by the authorities on the Island md lodged in prison, where they would, a all probhability, have been quietly dis. nosed of but for subsequent occurrences. [n the first place one of the New York pa. >ers made a considerable stir in the nmut er, to excite sympathy here; but this not )roving effective, and there being no inter erence on the part of our constulship, the -elease of the imprisoned patriots was no loubt taken in hand oj private account. Rtey, an employee in the Ilavana prisnn, N'as tamperetd with. andI by his means Vil averde and Tolon, under sentence ofdeath, tfl'ectedl their escape, with Roy in compa iy. This outerprise, we believe, was riginatedl in Newv York, tand possibly petr 'ectedl and put afloat from New Orleans. li was suc'cessf'ul. WVhat followed ? In the course of' a tew wveeks, a fellow iamed Don Fulgetio Llorentine appears n Ne w Orleans, and pretends great friend iness of' puirpose 'inwards a man namned Uachin, ani agent of La Verdad ; hi's oh. ect is expressly to ind~uce him to return 'o lavana. Th'ze facet is the useful men of' ~a Verdad arec to he removed. But Mua thin declines all the overtures, writes a etter to New York reedunting the inter view, and the next day is found with his kin~is blown out. In a very sthort time herea fier, Reyv dis'appears, under cireum stnces wvhieb give rise in a well founnded wuspicion that' he was abducted, pat ily by 'audi and partly by force. Such is the :onniectiotn that apptears to exist between he abduction of Rey and the Cuban pro ect. Rey is a man of insignificant position iu nine respects, but was lie trot the posses or of' a secret it w'as all-important for Gen. ~oneall to know ? WVho approachted Rey with bribe, or perstnasion in behalf of' Vil averde and his coimpanton ! I-nw (lid hey get away from the Islandi Who rere the fotpdprs, w~ho were instrumental nany way in-the prosecution of the en erprise ? These thinger the Captain Gen ral would of course be anxious to know, a furtheranice of future operations. It appears to us that apprehensions have tala-generally entertained by Spanish offi tialsof a demonstratintn -upon Cuba from lie United States. They have been work ng, accordingly, in their way, to counter >lot atnd outmanwuvre the operations in lhe States, and to detect if possible the -evolutionary agents upon the island. lence the soverity of those measures. xhich have of late been so 'much com mintint nr nnan it ni;A ri a ue!.n e so keen iB40 cost an opera singer bis nibei ty, and bthible him by a very penitent .apology. .The prisons of the Havana have lately been honored by an unusual number of politiifcffenders; but in the attempt to extend thejysten to the United States, the government has betrayed that pitiable weakness fpoer which undertakes more thai it cao iratiocally expect to acbom plish.

Mr. Hoyt, the agent of the Company has just returned from the north where he informa us the 4uality of the Georgia Burr Stone lias been examined arid tested by geologists and workmen; Lind thQ prefer ence invariably given to i.t over the' French.. We extract the fo.loIing article on the subject from the'Scientic Amnerican of the ISth inst : The stone most commonly used ''fr grinding wheat, is known by the name of "French Rurr," because they are import ed from that 'bountry. This species of stone is a porous silicious mineral, so very hard, that a pair of millstones will last quite- a number of fears. at full work, withot being worn out. The French burr stones, owir4g to thei great price, has from time to time stimulated. both the Americans and English, to many efforts to sup'ersede them. Du.ring the last war between France and England, when it was .imtiossible to get burr stories, the London Society of Arts, offered a yre lthiutm of i gold niedal, o- One trirdred pounds for the discovery of a quarry pro ducing stones equal to the French Burrs. A quarry was discovered-in Vales with stones siml'a'r to the French, and answer ed tolerably, but they were' not equal to the 'renh: A number of masses of rock ivere,also discovered at Sterling, Scotland; and made into stones, some of which in. deed gave better - satisfaction than the French burr, as they were of a moru even texture- but the Fren'ch stone still carried the bell. In our counlitry a substitute for it, has long been a desideratum. This has now been obtained. In Burk Codn ty in the State of Georgia, a large quarry embracing an area of 17,000 acres his been discovered, and a Company named the LaFayette Burr 1Mill Stone Co.; has been formed to work it and ftirriish Ameri 'esn Mill stones, ecjual to ihe French Burr. The principle ofilce of this Company is in Savannah. About 1,000 sets of stones have already been put, and are now in operation. and some of them alongside of the French, .whera in every instance they liate etqualled-and a little more, tthe very best French Burrs. Samples of this stone have been in our office for some time. We have contrasted therm in every way with French burro. from which without know ing that the one came front France and the other from Georgia, no person could point out, a difference. Those who have used the Georgia.stdoe,.piefer itfor.a!mmre enduring fine sharpness, and in. that case, it is more economical to use. From what we have seen of the Georgia stone, and heard about i fed-n the most respectable sources. respecting its practical results, we are confident the iuarry must he of im mouae value.-A Friend of the Vaniily. llow TO GET RID OF BAD SaiLLS., IN FEcnioN. &c.-A scientific gentleman states, through the JBoston .Journtl, that for a disinfecting agent for general use, where the surfaces whence noisome ex halations arise cart be reabed, one pound of common copperas, dissolved in one gallon of water, forms a fluid, which whenu sprinkled on decomposing matter, or tiny changing surfaces, immediately destroys putrescent exhalations.
