Among the arrivals at Ne? York Crom Liver? pool bj the Java, on Tuesday, were Jose Manuel Ponce ce Leon, Jose Manuel Fernan? den, and De Freizaa, three of the company of j Cabans, two hnndred and fifty in number, who were exiled to Fernando Po la~t .March. They leave behind in Liverpool ?ixteen others of the company, wno are to follow them by the 2Btca and the Scotia. Thoy were of the wealthiest citizens of cuba. They tell a tearful story of their sufferings m exile. Tbe treatment; on shipboard by tbe Spaniards was terrible. They were crowded together in the most shocking manner, like coolies or slavts from Africa, and conipe led to pay fabulons prices tor food. After their ra? tal about half the prisoner a obtained qu artera at the English li oto! and the rest were obliged to live in native huts. Ti mae who bave now arrived in New York and io Liverpool, ea- j caped, after a month of exile, in canoes formed from the hollow of trees. Outside the island they were picked np by a small sloop which they bad hired of an English? man, and then made for Old Calabar, near the mouth of die Bio Calabar, on the ooast of Gamea. They were well treated by the Eng? lish people and the negroes*. The king called I ont bis warriors and prepared to derend the escaped exiles agaii.st the Spaniards if tbey shon'd send to retake them. The governor of | Fernando Po, learntnir that nineteen of his prisoners had escaped, sent after then toe armed steamship Concordia. She entered the ' poi t of Calabar three days aftei tbe srn val of j the Cu ban B ?od her captain demanded th? t they should becrven np to Spanish authority. This tno king refused to do, at the same time warning the Spanish commander of the Co J oordfa tbat if he took the Cabans away it would cost bim a severe fight. The Con? cordia left fir Fernando Po for instraetione. While gone, the Cabans embarked on an English vessel for Bani, which place they safe? ly reached, and secured passage on the English I mail steamer Biafra, for Liverpool. After | having secured their passage and gone aboard the Biafra, the. Concordia made her appear- . ance, and her captain demanded the bodies of J ttH??peteoD Cuban passengers. OapU Cross, of the Biafra, refused to give them ap. Tho natives prepared to defend th m should the captain of the Concordia endeavor lo employ force in the case. This he did not do.- ' i fae Blairs sailed with her passengers all on board, and arrived at Liverpool on the 30th ultimo.

THE PU Re H ??E OE CUBA kt Wefretza tiens with the Span? ish ttegenc Tbs Washington oerreepondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes ander date of Thsrs The President said this morning that no con ilusi?n will be reached in the Coban matter till Marshal Serrano shall be heard from. No news ?rom Madrid has been received here since last ?/eek. it ie now transpired that? private gentle nan, an intimate, friend of Captain-General Prim, left New York for Madrid two days be ore. General Sicken., and. ?anhad, Madrid a. reek before tho latter. On his arrival he laid he whole of General Bickies' ins true tiona be? ?ore tbe Captain-Gen ural and Marshal Serrano, o ascertain the feeling before a formal pre? sentation by the Minister, and reported te tbe ul ministration in this country that the propo? sitions advanced had been very favorably re? ceived. The most important proposition con? tained in these instructions was one eug resting, in s friendly manner, to Spain, that they agree to the appointment of ? mixed commission, composed of Span? iards and Cob tris, or a Spaniard and a Cuban, who shall meet in tbe City of Washing? ton, and fix apon s price, at which the island shall be sold to the Cabans. It is said, also, that tbe name of President Grant is mentioned to be appointed president of ' the commission, but I cannot vouch for the correctness ol that. The island of Cuba, by an agreement of this kind, wonld be paid for from, its own revenues, and the statement that the United States offers in any way to guarantee th<> bonds, there is the best authority for stating, is unqualifiedly raise. The Cabans claim that the customs collections will pay any reasonable sam in a very short time, and they ask no foreign aid to make the payment. Marshal Serrano. Regent of Spain, and Cap? tain-General Prim are now considering the matter. In the Cabinet at tbe White House yesterday, tho subject was broached and dis? cussed, but no definite result ?as retched. We shall hear front Maand in a few daye. Mean? time, those who seem to know most, and who pught, entertain no fear that ihe propositions will be agreed to by Spain. If tbey are no:, tben all concede that the next actio-i of our administration will be to show i considerably relaxed disposition towards Coba, whicb will amount to s virtual recognition of ber inde? pendence. A representative of tbe Cuban Jun? ta, now here, is in unusually treed spirits, and professes to know that the independence of Coba will be an accomplished fact before thc end of the year." ZOVE AND MURDER. Terrible Tragedy In New Orleans-A Creole Shoots his Sweetheart and tallis Himself-A Corseas Case. Gaston Ferret, a Creole, about thirty-two years of age, employed as a clerk in a store oo the corner of Bayon road and Esplanade-street, New Orleans, not being able to cain the affec? tions of Maggie Walker, of No. 31 Rampart street, between Customhouse and Bienville, after six months' courtship, called upon her on Thursday, m the backyard ot her residence, and after satisfying himself from her own lips (bat she loved a clerk in a commission house on Canal-streot, drew a la ree Colt's revolver and shot her m the left obeek. li e then placed the muzzle to his own chin and sent a ba'! up? ward through the place where his brains ought to have been. Tbe girl was ordored to tbe Charity Hospital, and the coroner sent for, as Ferret, thoogh still alive, was evidently dying. He lay apon hie back, breathing heavily, and a sanguine tide issuing from bis mouth. Tbe ball in its coarse through his head bad bulged ont his eyes, rendering hideous his face, blackened by the congealing blood, while over the pale lips had settled a bloody, frothy foam. In the pocket of Ferret was found tho subjoin? ed lotter : "I have BO mach endured that I am tired of living any more; after a lons straggle between life .fed death, my fate is to finish my life with this bloody tragedy. "No man can imagine what I have Buffered in Ihe lost ten years. Ten years ago I swore to toll myself at thirty years of age if my condi? tion in life had not changed before that time.

More than twenty years ago, Du Con ret, a well-known French traveller in Africa, i uncovered, in s central put of that continent, the existence of a race ealled the Niam-Niams, or men with tails; and tbe evidences laid by bio before certain sci en tifio bodies in Paris were deemed to be conclusive on the subject.

" Ihe reviewer could hardly make a slip eo bad as this appears. There remains, therefore, tbe curious question, whether Mr. Dickens re bashes his private correspondence into novels, or puts off his correspondents with quotations of things wbich they may "read comfortably in a book." Whichever way is true, it seems impossible that so prolific and ready a writer should resort to such small mental economies. ; So the reviewer may be wrong after all. Of coarse everybody knows that Boy thorn, io the 1 book, is a "study" or Landor in real life, bat ? that has nothing to do with this, that we can perceive. -In the recently published diary of Henry Crabb Robinson tb ere is an interesting account of his first interview with Madame de Stael.

It was by no means a captivating spectacle, bnt I bad a very cordial reception, and two bright black eves smiled benignantly on me." Mr. Robinson reoords his utter failure in making her feel tbe trans? cendent excellence of Goethe. Ia reply to his remark that she never understood and never could understa . d tho great poet, she made use of a fine specimen of French audicity tem? pere 1 with French wit: "Her eyes flashed she stretched oat her fine arm, of which she was justly vain, and said ia an emphatic tone : 'Monsienr, je comprends tout ce qui m?rite eire compris; ce que je ne comprends n'est rien.' " -The Hungarian journals relate the follow? ing extraordinary case of suicide: Last week John Stebaleski, a shopkeeper in the Rue Se? bastian!, at Pestb, came down from his bed? room at 5 o'clock in the morning, leaving his wife in bsd. He then shaved himself, pat on his best clothes, stretched himself on the counter, and, having loaded a pistol, discharg? ed the contents iato bis heart. Death waa in? stantaneous. The horror aud astonishment of hie wife and the neighbors were indescriba? ble, and the more so that no one knew of any motive for the commission of the desporate act. Whilst all were lost in conjecture, an old friend of the deceased came rushing up out of breath. He had just received by post a lotter from Stabales ki, dated tho previous evening, and thus worded: "My Djar Friend-Ihave decided to kill myself to-morrow. Life is un? supportable. I adore my wife, but she has grown BO stout-she that was of BO ravishing a figure when I mimed her. Adieu, my friend; tell my wife that I prefer to die rather than bo unfaithful to her, orto separate myself from her by means of the law. Farewell, and pity me." -The forthcoming number of the Atlantic Monthly will contain an article written to un? ravel a mystery, which bas for many years ba fil jd the curiosity which it stimulated, and whicb seemed likely to remain unsolved for? ever. The real cause of the sadden and total separation of Lord Byron from hie wife; the alternate abase and praise with which he after? wards spoke and wrote of her; the artful way in which he and his friends gradually created a sentiment against her; the complete (and it is now shown) magnanimoussilenoe which she preserved through all, are now explained, at once and finally. Some years since, at the time of one of the periodical attacks wbich were made upon Lady Byron, hat friends repre? sented to her that it was a duty which she owed to herself and to history to'place all the facts of the case in the hands of some person com? petent to judge of the proper season for pub? lication and able to do so in the proper man? ner. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, then in England, wa? selected for the trust, and she hanns been pat in poeeeeeion of ?ll the facts and dates, advised against publication at that time, bat promised to ase the in formation in ber bands whenever occasion should require.

I omitted in my report of the first da j's p ro? wed m gs to notice the lu tad and comprehea-, live charge of his Honor, Jndge Bryan, to the ?(rand Jory. I cannot now do better to sup? ply the omission than by copying the follow? ing from the report of tbe Greenville Eater prise: The judge took occasion to point out the patriotic duty they owed to the government, md to society in doing their part in enforcing the laws. The essential importance of sus? taining tbe revenue laws was especially dwelt upon, and the obligation of every omen to nanner, the argument against all repudiation >f tba public debt, ana maintained that the aonor and interest of the n ition were alike in? volved in paying all its obligations. The Jebt was contracted "to save the life of the nation." The remarks of bis Honor on this bead, seemed to grow out ot the subject of bis charge as to numerous bills of indictments niven out for violations of the revenue laws. He said, however, that it was an indisputable tact that the laws of the United States were as readily and impartially executed in South Car? olina as io Massachusetts or Ohio, and the Innes here did their duty as well as the juries in any other State; that bo had so stated to Chief Justice Chose. We were pleased at hear? ing this remark from the jndge as a jost com? pliment to the honor of South Carolina?- ci li? sons, and cratifled to know that the Chief Jus? tice was furnished with testimony from a high source to rebuke these slanderers wherever ko j might meet them. THE GERMAN NATT. National Plag-National Nary-German Modern Naval History-A New Port How it was Created-What tt is. A Berlin letter says: If we are a nation we must have a national flag. But what is the use ot having a nt. tional flag unless you can show it to your neighbors in paiticalar, and to all the world in genera]? Now, your next neighbors can see it across the frontier, and along the line of river boundary. But this wili not answer for transatlantic and otherwise transoceanic peoples whom you wish lo impress with an idea of your importance, lime, you nrght send them your flag by some loreign letter bag, ask them to tarean Admiring look, impress it upon their retinas and their memories, and send it back by return mail. But this, foi a great nation, would be dec.de? ly infra dig. How do other great nations man? age this little matter? We all know very well. They build ships, frigates, steamers and iron? clads, mount them with men and cannon, and send them to cir umnavigato the globe with their flag flying over them. There's the flag, here aro tho men to d?tend its honor and up bold its glory. Thus do the United States, England ana France, and not only all the civil? ized nations, but tho savages of Behring Straits, Patagonia and Oce?nica know and re? spect these em?leme of power and civilization. In Borne such tram of recollection as thia did our German friends indulge about A. D. 1818, and forthwith laid tbe foundation or a navy and the keels of several men-of-war. But, wben tho excitement had subsided, and con? stitutional freedom had buen got well in hand by kingly rnlets, the national navy was btoken up and its vessels mid at auction. This was in 1852. Then Prussia immediately began a navy on ber own account, which, growing little by Utile, was something worth while handing over to the New German Confederation when it came into existence, tor the commenccroi-nt of a national navy. By dint of extraordinary industry and econ? omy thid navy now numbers, of sailing ves? sels, three frigates, three unga, thirty-two gun sloops, and some sm,il lor craft, the wuolc mounting five bundled heavy rifled puns. Of screw vessels three cuirasse:! frigates, two cui rassod batteries, ten coivcttes and thirty-six eunnoats, all heavily armed with Armstrong or Prussian armor. Hie fleot numbers six thousand mon, of whom fivo thousand are sail? ors. This force can bo greatly increased. North Germany has a seafaring population of seventy-eight thousand. Still, many things were wanting, if a German man-of-war had to be put iu dry dock, it was necessary to send her to England or Sweden. Then, too, there was ns military poit on the Baltic, ThiB de? ficiency was thought of ab far back os 1854. when Prussia pui chased tor five bund ed thou? sand tholers a strm of land on the western shores of tho Jade Bay, iu the Grand Duchy of Oldeubarg. Though d?p and sheltered from winds, the bay is yet too large and a little too wide at its entrance-three miles-to make a suitable har? bor. What, therefore, nature had not supplied, had to be dene by the hand of man. Immense excavations were undertaken, proceeding from the shore a considerable distance inland, and blanching eut in different directions. The work was of the most difficult kind, lt is a low, un? inhabited coast, liable to be unindated by the sprint: tides. The soil, consisting of loose, shitt? ing sand, fell in wherever touched by tbe spade. There was no ari u kable water to be hid for miles and malaria prevailed to such an extent that sometimes one-fourth of the workmen were laid up with it. The first thin? to be done w ts to raise dams to protect the site of the future har? bor from the encroachments of the sea. Then fresh water had to be obtained by boring arte? sian wells nine hundred feet deep. At length man triumphed over nature. Mow. that tue ?hole is completed, with tba exception of a few details, it presents to view fire separate har? bors, with canals, sluices to reg?late the tide, and su array of dry-docks for ordinary and iron-clad vessel". As you approach by ship, you first find yourself in an artificial basin, Hanked by immense granito moles, ree pee ti ve Sfour thousand and nine thousand six hun .ed feet long. The next nasio or outer harbor is six hundred feet long and four hundred wide; the second sluice, immediately behind, a? long and as wide as the first. Then there follows a canal three thousand six hundred feet long, varying m widtb from two hundred and sixty to one hundred and eighty feet, and having about half way another harbor for dredging steamers and similar craft. This leads to the port par excellence, consisting of a basin 1200 feet long and 750 ?ride, with a smaller special basin for boats to the right. At the baok of the principal harbor there are two dry docks, each 440 feet long and 84 wide; a third dry dook 880 feet long, two ship yards for the con? struction of iron-cased frigates of the largest sise, a dock yard, an arsenal, a number of steam engines, and all the other paraphernalia of a naval establishment. AB to depth, the Jade, when the tide is out, is ati;l 26 feet deep; the sluices at high tide are 27 feet; at low tide 15 feet deep; the docks and principal harbors aro 29 feet. Such an achievement as this was worthy a grander celebration than took place io honor of its inaugniatiou last week.

These questions bsve been asked in all age;, but never havo they been as satisfactorily resioud-d to as art the present day, and the answers which com? mon sense, enlightened by se'ence aod experience, give to thom.lu the Nineteenth Century mtiy be briefly state? thus : To protect the system against all influence- that tend to generate disease, there ia nothing like invig? oration. To re-cstabliih Ihr hualth on a arm basis, when lt has been lost by Imprudence or any other cause, the eystora must bo simultaneously strengthened, regu? lated and purl fled. These ends can only be attained through the agen? cy of a prepantion which combines the attributes of k tonia, a correcti ve, a blood d?purent, aud an ape rient, AU these essentials an effectually blended in HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. They contain nothing drastic. Irritating 01 lLflsmmatory. The juices and extracts of sanative herbs, roots and barks, an their sole medicinal ingredients, and tues? are rendered diffusible by combination with tho spiri? tuous essence of rye, the purest of all alcoholic stim? ulants.
