Details of the Ilaytlen Insurrection. Havana, Nov. 17. The nevsof the lusnrrec tion in Hay li is continued. On the 12th of Octo ber the i-oeue lu the Legislative Chambers was very violent, and tho language used was of the mott threatening character. It all arose from a motion made to relieve Jl'intes, who is in a Cape Hattien dungeon. The members all spoke in his defence. It is stated that PreslJeut Salnave became so audacious as to secretly Incite a rabble of women aud boys to attack the House of Assembly. This they did amid loud vioai for Salnave, and cries of "Down with the Assembly !" hurling at the same time brie", bottles, sticks, etc. The dwellings ol many were vieorously stoned. The Amer cau Consul was nred at, but escaped unhurt. A unanimous protest of the diplomatic corps has been prencuted against anv farther such soenes. and demanding of the Government to to tee to It that the li ke do not occur. At last accounts the city of Port an Prince was quiet ing. The treaty with tho United States is as 3 ti In tu'peni-e. MEXICO.

Arrival of Senor Romero at Vera Cruz. Havana, Nov. 17. The steamer Wilralnatou has arrived from Vera Cruz, with dates from that port to the 10th instant. The United Stites steamer Wilcerness had arrived at Vera Cruz from Charleston v a Key Went, having on board Senor Mattas Romero, late Minister of Mexico at Washinirton, with his family. The whole party were pleated with their treatment on board the Wilderness, although the weather was exfremely un'avorable. On the trip the Wilderness had a heavy uorth westeily blow, and was lorced to heave to for two day's. She lost a mainstay and sail, and had a boat, I he smoke-stack, and bulwarks stove, in. The sea washed over into the tire room. However, she proved herself an excel lent sea boat. CUBA. Heavy Weather Libellous Publication Abandonmentof the Brig Wadiwortb at Santiago. Havana, Nov. 16.

TUE SANITARIUM. The Citizen' Association of Pennsylva nia, and the Work They are Doing A Visit to Their "Sanitarium," or Inebriate' Home, at Media. The Citizens' Association of Pennsylvania was chartered on tne 11 Hi of April, 1H0O. tlie act ol Incorporation prescribing the following us the objects of tbe 1 ibtllutlon: "To erect buildings for the cure of the intem perate; to open employment offices; to establish branch, association , in the various cities and counties of the Commonwealth, and in the different wards of the oily of Pniladelohla; to exeiuine into the causes and staliMlics of pan peiiNin, vugrancy, and crime, and do whatso ever they may for the prevention of tbe same, and for the restoration and elevation of the de praved and ignorant classes of society." y an act of the Legislature approved March 4, 117, it was lurther made tbeduty of the Asso ciat ion to "make an an uual report to tbe Legis lature, on tbe dependent, depraved, and crimi nal population of tbe Common wealth; and on all matters relating to tbe causesof and remedies for pauperism, vagrancy aud crime; and for this purpose said Association is hereby empowered to viit and examine into all organizations and Institutions which have charge, either In whole or in part, of said population; Provided, sulci organizations end inHtitutlon are maintained or uHhibied bylhj Commonwealth, or by tne counties, townsuips, or municipalities thereof." Tbe ollleial organization of the Association is as fo'lows: PreBlilent-Joseph Tarrlsh. M. D. Vice PreBldeuta John M. Murls, Jay Cooks. B cretary Joshua WoolNton. DlrectoiH A.rcliitmld Campnell. Caspar Morris, W. I).. Jlenry Lewis, T. T. Tanker, Jr., Jolm A. Wrl lit, buuiuel ParrlHh, Wistar Morris, George Mu liken. Ti taRurer Provident Lite and Trust Company. Htntlisliclan John A. Anderson. During the first year of Its existence the Association directed its labors towardit au esti mation ot the "dependentand criminal classes" of tbe fcHate; but as the record of Pennsylva nia were very meagre and unnerlutn.n was lound necessary to base the calculation In groat in en sure niiou tbe oflieial returns of tmch clatsi.es in Massachusetts. Tho following was the result: The proportion of the Insane la one to every four hundred and twenty-one Inhabitants, Which would give to Peunsylvauia an uunre gate of 871 1) ol these unfortunates. Of these, ubout two thousand are Inmates of the differ ent public aud private hospitals; one thousand or more are cared for in the county poor bouses; and a few hundred, perbapB, In fusil tullons outside of the Htate; and the remainder, many of whom are unknown to the census takers or other officials, in their own homes or those ol their friends. The proportion of Idiots to the population Is one in one thousand and fifteen, which esti mate Includes only those who are born ldlotio or became no in early childhood. This would give a total of 8C15 for tbeState, of whom but a few hundred, at the most, are cared for iu pub lic Institutions, the great bulk; of them remain ing in their homes. Tbe blind and deaf mutes exist in about the same proportion as Idiots. The institutions provided for their care contain of the former class one hundred and eighty-one, and of the latter one hundred and twenty- six. 1 he ratio of pauperism In Massachusetts one to three hundred and sixty-five would give to Pennsylvania an aggregate of 10,05:1. Philadel phia alone has at the present lime more than Sim io of these in her Almshouses. During tbe past fourteen years the n Urn tier of persons committed tojail In Massachusetts was one in two hundred and twenty-nine. In 180.5 ttiere was one in itt&i committed to the Htate Prison, while in Pennsylvania, during the same year, the proportion was oue in 8-W. Aooept Ing the Massachusetts basis, which is seen to be below the real state of the ease in our own ytate, Pennsylvania would have had aorlmlnal popu lation, during the past year, of It). 023, exclusive of the large number who are never brought to justice. With regard to the number of vagrants tbeie can be no accurate estimate; but there were at least thirty thousand of them prowling over the Htate during the past year. 'J be proiiortiou of drunkards la tot down at one in seventy-four, which would give to Penn sylvania 4U,(U7 of this class, Tho general summary of the above Is pre sented by the following figures: One In Whole number.

At present, the Association Is devoting all its energies to the last tamed departmentthe prevention aud cure of Intemperance. For the purpose of carrying these objeota into effect, they have purcuased a farm of one huudred and seven acres, located in Daroy township, Delaware county. The location la easy of acc s to the city by both steam aud horse cars, and being completely surrounded by forest trees, enjoys that privacy which is so essential in all relormatory lnslliullou. It is luUmded, in the erection of the uucessat y bulldlnus. to depait from the beaten track, and lnstettdof congregating large numueta or Inlemporate persons under tho same roof and at the same table" to provide for their accommodation houses which will contain families of from five to twenty persons. In the meantime, a lance building at Madia. Delaware county, has been re u led. and u tem porary Hauilarian or Inebriates' Home wat established there in June lust. On Haiurday afternoon, a number of gentlemen oouueclttd with the press visited this establishment, by 4 ......... ...... . ihnUniuirlnljIlliliint r Pui-rltilt IUVIttW1'U Ul III" ., . ... for the purpose of witnessing the operations of tbe iustituliou.

A The building Issubntantlal a well ns commo dious, having formerly been used os a boys' hoDrdlng-soliool and a regular boirdlim h use In succession. It Is elegantly furnished, and embraces within itself all the comfort of n Imppy home. The upper portion Is divided into sleeping Bpartmenis for the patient, the tli st floor being used as parlors and offices, while In the bailment la a billiard aud amuse ment room, aud a suit ol bath rooms, kitchens, e'c. Three are nnrominodHtlous for flfieen pa tients, and In ease of necessity twenty could be eom fort ably diHposeduf. Hlnoe the opening of the establishment, twenty-one patients In all have been under treatment, of whom ten still remain. Those who have been discharged from the Sanitarium; have all been much benefited, and most of them are now doing very well and are free from the terrible vice of intemperance. Tbe ruling principle of treatment is kind ness and careful attention. All the patients thus far received have been voluntary one, although at tbe last session of the Legislature an act was passed providing for the commit ment of habitual and confirmed drunkards, by the county courls, after proceedings similar to those which take place In oases of lunacy. Dr. lnrrisband his asalaiants do not pursue tue course adopted in the reformatory institution at Plngbainton. New York, where there Is an instantaneous breaking olTfrom all indulgence in spirituous lbiuora, not a drop of alcohol being administered under any circumstances. At tbe Media Sanitarium, on the contrary, when it la evident that a small qnantlty of liquor administered to a patient, during the flisl part of his treatment, will be beoeflclal to blm, there Is no hesitation in resorting to this remedy. But, irom the first, efforts are made to thoroughly eradicate the appetite for strong di ink, and the most eflleacioua method resortPd tn is tbe einplyment of steam and sulphur but lis. '1 lie averago charges for board and treatment are 12 per week, but where the patient Is unable to pay this sum, a less charge is made, and several are admitted free of all expense. From this class some light labor Is exacted, several of the gratuitous patients being now engaged In tbe compilations of the returns from the diffe rent county prisons and almshouses throughout the State, which ore being received every day, and will comprhe the leading feature of the next annual report, of the Association. Thus far, nlthoueh the operations of the Banitorinm have necessarily been conducted on a limited scale, the results have been crowned with success, and afford another in controvertible proof of tbe fact that intem perance is a disease, which will yield to proper and judicious treatment. Thla enterprise of the Citizens' Association Is fraught with benefit to the Htate at large, and it should receive the benrty encouragement and support of all good citizens. Three-fourths of the crime and misery of these latter days can be traced directly or indirectly to the use of ardent spirits, and the prevention and cure of intem perance among nil classes Is the true and only practicable method of diminishing the most glaring evils of society. RECONSTRUCTION IN ALABAMA. The Convention The Day of Adjourn, ment Fixed Report of the Executive, Judicial, and Mill t la Committee. Montcomeet, Nov. 16. A resqlution was adopted to-day in tbe Convention fixing the date of adjournment for the 25th inst. This will al'ow of tbe question of ratifying the new con stitution being decided before the end of the prefect year. II notice of the election be given on tbe day of adjournment, it can be held on Christmas day, which has always been kept by the negroes, even when they were slaves, as the trreat holiday of the year. They would naturally flock in large numbers to the towns and cities on that day. even if there were no election; and the radicals hope to poll a larger vote on this account tbau at the election lor the Convention. Ordinances were referred to the Committee on Ordinances, changing the names of two counties from Cleburne and. Colbert to Lincoln and Brnwnlow. The Committees of Executive, Judiciary, and Militia reported. The first recommended that a Lieu'enant (Governor should hereafter be elected, and provided that the Governor should not have tho power to pardon the crime of treason, all offenders on that bead being only pardonable bv the Senate, who minbt either commute or reprieve the proper legal penalties, This latter clause is intended as guarantee for the good faith of any ex-Iiebels who mav enter the radi cal party for the sake of having their disabili ties removed. The Judiciary Committee recommend that all judicial officers except justices ot the peace and county commissioners shall bo filled bythofJov erument, the nominees being subsequently con firmed or rejected by the SeDate. Tbe Militia Committee recommend that all militia officer shall also be appointed by the Governor, sublectto the approval of the Senate. None of the reports were acted upon. A great deal of excitement has been alrealy created by tbe ordinance proposed yesterday to compensate negroes for services rendered as slaves from tbe time of the Emancipation Pro clamation down to their actual enfranchisement by the Federal army. Tbe ordinance was not regarded as- a serious proposition, but it now seems that some of the delegates are not only, determined to carry it, but also to fix the com pensation at tho present price of labor, $10 a month. This would practically give every negro who votes for the new Constitution a bribe of $280. Confiscation would not result in nearly as much ruin as this. It is scarcely probable that so extensive a measure can pass the convention; but it is quite likely that some percentage of the present compensation for labor will be voted to tbe negroes. ..

It says, "In the case of Stanton, the President's power of dismissal is : clear and absolute whenever a new appointment shall be made. If Mr. Stan ton is so disposed, then he will have time, and no doubt abundant leisure, to test Judicially the question whether he or the President's now appointee be the dejure Secretary of War."

The Secretary of War has issued an order for the establishment of an artillery school at this pest; and the fort, together with the school, will be made a separate command, and will report direct to the Geucral-in-cbief. The school is to consist of three field officers of artillery and the senior orJnance officer at the post, toge ther with the heads of such departments of in struction as shall be established. It will consist of at least five companies of artillery, and all the unas-igned brevet second lieutenant from West Point will be sent here lor a tew months' drill and practice betore being ordered and assigned to their future commands. The post adjutant will keep a record of all the proceed ings, and act as secretary to the staff. Tne course of instruction will be very complete and r gid, and an annual examination is prov ded for. Tbe lieutennnts wiih the instruction bat teries will be relieved and replaced by others every year; but a lailure to obtain a satisfactory certificate at the annual examination will be a bar to promotion until after another year's instruction. It is understood that the tract or land lving just north of the Fort and across Mill creek, is to be purchased by the Government for the prac tice school. It will embrace a large extent of territory, formerly occupied as a camping ground during the war, but now thickly studded with rude log buts which are occupied bv the freedmen, and the place is now yclept "Slab town." It will be a great improvement should the Government purchase tois place and turn it into a practice school; and certainly no uetter piuce ior tue purpose couia oe lound. It is to be hoped, therefore, that tbe purchase will be made and tbe school be established: and if this is done, wc may then expect some lively times on the Point again.

"No, no, doctor, ' said Peter, "you quite mistake; it was your living I looked for." A red-nosed gentleman asked a wit whether he believed In spirits. "Ay, sir," replied he, looking him full in the face, "I see too muoh evidence before me to doubt that." FINANCE AND COMMERCE. Orrica of ihi KvxiriMa Tliiafh, Monday, Nov. is, lstff.
