Spanish Atrocities in llavana Ilule ef the Volunteers -Outrage by a Spanish Man-of-War-Heal Condi tion of Affairs. Dulco's Latest Proclamation. From a Havana correspondent, who3e latest advices were to tbe 24tti Instant, we learn that tbat city has once more been tne scene of riot and bloodshed. Thin last outrage, iutcal of originating with a lawless soldiery, or rather wub tbe volunteers, was authorized and coun tenanced by tbe authorities, and oy no less a person than the immortal Dulce hiniselt, wbo, after a deadly hatred for tbe volunteer, hits become their boon companion, and from present appearances will not gainsay any ot their desires in tbe future. The kindness at one lime shown the Cubans exists no Ion tier, and woe to the unfortunate native who does not walk straight and keep his mouth shut when Spani ards are around. On Sunday afternoon the wharves anil house tops, whereon a view could be obtained, were crowded with people to witness tbe embarka tion of the prisoners en route for Fernando Po, , the transport Borja being moored at tbe foot t the Cabana forts. A party of penitentiary birds brought the baggage of the prisoners on board, and there it was searched by Govern ment officials. At 1'30 a line of troops and volunteers was formed from the Cabana to the fctearuer, and (shortly afterwards tbe prisoners came in sight, accompanied by a company of volunteers. Tbey were Immediately marched on board of the Borgia. The Spanish trigate Lealiad had sailed a few hours previous to act as an escort, until the Borja should pass b?yond the Ba hamas Channel, rumors having been rite that the Cubans bad organized an expedition to intercept and -capture the Borja, a fact which eeems nowise improbable, it tne determination and means of tbe Republican leaders, nud the status and influence of the prisoners, be taken Into account. When the tecond batch cf prisoners was com ing down from the Cabana, your correspondent was standing on the wharf speaking to some gentlemen, when a pickpocket in the Immediate neighborhood was seen to put his hand into the pocket ot a bystander, and was immediately seized by a gentleman standing alongside the thief. A companion of the thief, without doubt, then raised the cry, "Muero Fspana," (Death to 8paln and iu a moment a scene of tbe wildest confusion was enacted. The volunteers statlotert on the wharf, And the rabble filling every avenue leading thence, became furious, and on every Spanish counte 'nauce the thirst for blood was plainly depicted. The volnnteers, with fixed bajouets, opened a way through the crowd, and in less than a moment tbe thief was in their hands, the popu lace shouting, "Kill him, kill him !" Iu the meantime the fellow who uttered the cry escaped unobserved, and your correspondent thinking that he might give a better account of the pro ceedings by looking at them from a reasonable distance, attempted to get away, but being hemmed in by a crowd of several thousand men, lound that the attempt was hopeless. JuBt then another shout of "Muerj Espana y viva Vespedea" was heard a little to the right, and in a second a young man named Romero was seen iu the hands of the volunteers, and rushed off to their barracks close by, and iu front of tbe palace. A police commissary, also named Komero, a Cuban by birth, ana related to the last named individual, was vainly attempt ing to rescue bis relative from the bauds of the volunteers, and was carried by the stream to the barracks, wnere an excited multitude of volnn teers had already received the thief aud a young man named sNoy, also accused ot shouting 'Muero Jtspana" At tbat moment a shot was heard on the other side of the Plaza de Armas, a man having been killed instantaneously by one ot the Palace guards, also a volunteer, wno stated that the deceased had shouted "Muero .ftspana." Com missary Komero was at this moment forcioly expelled from the volunteer barracks, and, on re .chlng the street, a volunteer sergeant took bold of him, and called him a traitor and an abettor of traitors, cursing him and pushing him along, but without striking him. When tne populace saw this they crowded around the pair, and began to s'rike at the Commissary, all the while calling him a traitor. When the rioters, with Komero in their midst, reached the office of the commander of the po.-t (Mayor de la Plaza), situated oetween the barracks and the Treasury building, a sergeant of tbe regular army, and ucdoubtedlyone of the clerks in tbe office, rut-hed out and dealt Ro mero a furious blow, knocking him down. The shouts of "Kill him" increased, the rabble shouting merely at a euess, without knowing what was going on. Komero held up his staff of office, crying, "Vim Fspana respect me don't kill me 1 am one of the authorities;" but for once tbe slavish inslgnlas of Spanish civil rule, the gold beaded tassels, had lost ineir influence, and Romero was continually belnsr pushed towards the Treasury building, with his bick toward it, where a brave and loyal volunteer, with his musket raised, waited patiently until the head of Romero almost touched the barrel of his musket, and pulled the trigger, and Komero sauk a corpse, his brains bespattering the sidewalk. A more cold blooded assassination could not be imagined. The taste of blood ouce whetted, the feellugs of such an excitable people as the Spaniards were excited almost to frenzy. All ideas auuied to centre in the one absorbing wish for human gore. The hoarse cries, "Que muerel que mueret" could be heard irom thousands of tnroats. Tne scenes then enacted will never be forgotten by tour correspondent. Only those wltuessed during the Irish riots ot 1863 can be compared with tbem. At that moment the crowd swayed towards the l'-tlace, when Dulce. aocompalned by a tew staff-officers, appeared at the door, and attempted to make his way towards the volnnteer barracks. Cries of "Kill Dulce l" were quite numerous. After some trouble Dulce reached the barracks, and being beset by the volunteers, Immediately granted their request to have tbe prisoner, tue young Cuban Komero. executed. Dulce answered that the cries of "Ueath to Spain" could never be realized, as Spain could uever die. A sort of court martial was then formed, and. as was to be expected, Romero was found 8 Tbe documents were signed by Dulce, and at 6 in the aftemooo, Romero was shot on the wharf. Only one witness, a drunken boatman, could be lound to testify that Noy had shouted Muero Espaua," aud the court-martial, to Us great regret, was compelled to defer sentence, altbeugh I understand that since then more witnesses have been found, aud be may be shot jet.

The Kins: of the Cannibal Inland III Arrival In New Ywrk-HlnKalar Ntorins or his Career Thirty Years among the Man-eater. There has just arrived in New York an "old salt" known as "Cannibal Jack." Never did the most extravagant lancy conceive a wilder or more adventurous career than that which he tells of. This singular persouage Is a brown bearded man of medium size, dart complexion, retiring manner, aud a most perplexing accent. Anyone would pronounce htm a foreigner, but no two would agree as to his nationality. lie has never permitted himself to be tattooed, but bears his credentials in tbe shape of a round bole in bis forehead, made by the point ot a javelin, which he struck up wltu bis club in time to prevent its piercing his breast. Despite his ominous tttle ol Caunlb tl Jack," he asserts that he has never tasted human flesh, although his savage Marquesas subjects lean upon it every week with the utmost relish 1 "Is it possible? And whom do they eat? ''Oh, prisoners of war mostly, and any strr.ngcrs they can catch." "And. I say," continues tne ques tioner, with a slight shiver, "how do they cook them?" "Bane them 1 Take them just as you would a pig, clean them and stuff them with sweet-scented leaves and hot stones. Then they lay hot stones on the ground for an oven, cover them with leaves, put the bodies on these, then more leaves and hot stones, aud finally a layer of earth to keep in the heat and tne steam from the greeu leaves." "Aud can't you stop it?" "Not a bit! I can save white men, but not natives." Owing to his knowledge of their many dia lects, and his familiarity with their customs, he is either obeytd or feared in mauy different island groups, out the special seatot his power i on Oitahu, one of the Marquesas Islands. There a white man named Butcher, was chief when Jack first landed, and there Butcher's trkull is still preserved. Ihere Jack reigus in nuked aud native dignity, with his tappa girdle and his feather bead dress. T ue re he has four tecu wives In one house, besides mauy more on other islands. There he mixes laws for two thousand islanders, and plans raids upon the Typee savages of Dominica, another ot the Marquesas Islands, with whose natives he is ceaseletsly at war. There are his double war canoes, made of boards sewed together with cocoauut sennet, and propelled 14 miles au hour by 300 rowers, who not only keep stroke to the sound of a war song, but vary the exercise every few moments by flincing their paddles lu tbe air and catching them its they tall with military precision. Jack is evidently of a Christian turn of mind, does not swear, and takes pleasure In attending oivine service. Nevertheless, be does nut like missionaries, will not allow them on his island, and declares that Father Damon, at Honolulu, and Mr. Brown, on oneot the Navigator Islauds, ate the only ones who have done the natives any real good. He charges the others with eovetousness, inhumanity, and other nameless villanles. Fourteen years aero a Boston traveller, who helped to found tbe nrst newspaper In tbe Sand wich Islands, offered Jack $700 it he would return with him to nOBton ana rela'.e his story In detail, in order that a book might be made of it. Jack declined, but now, as be wishes to make a little money, he is quite ready to accept such a proposition. lie intends to go to New Bedlord in u lew days to visit certain whaling captuins of bis acquaintance whom he expects to find there, and hopes to git fundi enough to buy some tooU, ammunition, add "old news papers with stories in them." to take back with him ; for next November will doubtless find him tar on his way to his island kingdom, as he de clares he "would not spend a winter in this cold climate for half theclty ot New York." It will be impossible tor us in our limited space to detail tbe career of thie remarkable personage, but will give just an insight luto what he ess Deen aoiug. uoru in a small vii Inge in the vicinity ot Rochester, New York, he made his home, upon tne death ot his parents, with an elder sister, wbo resided iu- tbe city. This excellent young woman sent him to school. and switched htm so raithtully when he played truant, as he olten did, that he ran away at the teiidcr age ol nine years, ana succeeded in making bis way across York btate to Mystic, ou Lone Island Sound. Here, in his teal to see the strange slehts of a seaDort town, be boarded a ship which was just on the point of sailing for Havre, and was car ried off belore he could regaiu the shore. He made himself as useful as he could, and on ar riving in th French port, immediately rai away again, lest the captain, who had learned his story, should send him back to Rochester. Getting on a Seine steamer, be made two or three trips between Havre and uoucn; out one day, in emptying the hot water ontof a "doe-ba-ket," he unluckily pitched a lot oi piates and f poons overboard, whereupon the wratby stew ard kictsea tne poor nine tenow so sounaiy wita bis wooden shoes that he was glad to scamper ashore. Then tbe mate of a Scotch schoouer took pity ou him, and he tried to reoay the mate's Kindness up helping to hoist the schooner's anchor out ot the way of the tide, which rushs by the Seine funou-ly. By some mishap It slipped, and Its whole weight dragged a rope tnrougu mo nanus ru swiiiiy as to actually ra'p the flesh from the bones. Tbe capta'n was bighly vexed, and drove him on shore attain ; but the mate and crew sided wi'h the little chip who bad held to the rape sopluckily; left the schooner in a body, and the captain had no small trouble in getting tbem back again. Ia the meanwhile toe joung adventurer got his hurts dret-fed, tell into the hand of a good-natured 1H i.'rpnrhmii. who took excellent care of him. and at last shipped oa a Swedish ship for a cruise in the Baltic Sea. Kear Dantsic be rin away again, because the mate threatened to beat him lor deallnsr out too much coffee to the men. For two days' he lived on green wheat, aud tried to catch storks. Tbe second night he crept cautiously on board, and was just slipping into his berth when the captain called him into the cabin, perched him up on the transom lockers with nothing on but bis shirt, lectured htai .nriii nn th foil of running away, and oii.Kniihim un in the emotv hold till noon the next day. Alter visiting Cranetadt and other ports, he sailed in a Russian brig to the north of England, and from there next to the Pacific islands, and found himself eventually shifting through the Marquesas, Boclety, Friendly, and Navigator Island, ana In the Ut ter gaining an ascendancy among the native., and finally acting as king. Jack is brought to New York on the charge ot mutiny, but it is probable that the matter will bo compromised, and the "Cannibal Chief" allowed to return to his adopted country, tbe land of the man-eater. SUICIDE. The Mania In Iondon. In London the mania is spreadlug like con tagion. It was only two weeks ago that the double mania, that of suicide and murder, camo to a climax in tbe killing of a widow and her daughter by a man who immediately cut his own throat alter cutting theirs. About tbe same time we hear that in Paris a barouess (boots her husband, her sou. and hcr.iell, in tbe space of as many seconds as there were victims. At Birmingham a solicitor is found dead in his chamber, with bis throat cut Irom ear to ear. Near the same place, and a few days la'.er, tbu fragments of the dead bodyot a mau were foand on the railway, and thu evidence went to show tbat he bad thrown himself under the tram in a tit ot delirium tremens. An Amcncau poiotis himself to death in Liverpool, and leaves expli cit instructions for the disposition of his money and other possessions, saying his uane wis f-eorpe Child, and that be had a brother at No. !)8 Pearl street, Boston. A lioted horse rscer from London, called, from his great success in betting, "the Levta. than," cuts his throat in his bed, and another txrtist throws himself out of a railway tram xnd dies soon after being picke.l un. The former died flush, and no solution of his course is given but the intensity of the excitement in which he bad lived for many years in tbe prosecution of his calling. The latter Is said to have frequently referred to his "troubles" lately. The tension which these raoers undrigo must be something terrific, and gives their life a resemblanc iu more than one sense, to that of tbe brutes they make their living out of. Another "Leviathan" by the name ot Davis is dying, aud another died last week, while the headlong career and final crash financial and physical of tbe Marquis of Hastings is freeh iu public memory. The Devil makes short work of nis more devout devotees "noble" and ignoble. A young woman has a quarrel with her lover, plunges into the Med way, aud is drowuud. Some men were standing by at the time, and one oi them said, "As she got herself in, she might get herself out." One of the Coroner's jury eald bethought this "showed a want of manly spirit!" At Windsor, under the shadow of tbe palace walls, a resptcted tradesman Is fouud hung by a cord in his shop. A physician comes, but life is beyond bis reach. A lad at Northinolteu asks his mother for a halt penny. She refuses it. He threatens to bang himself, aud does shortly after in the presence of several children, who give the alarm too late. At break of day, on Sun nay, a roan sends a bullet through his head in St. James Park another suicide under tbe walls of a royal palace. A news vender, in College street, pours oil over his body, sets fire to it, and is beyond rescue when discovered lying in bt-d, self-Immolated on the funeral pyre. A sculptor forbids access to the model room to one of his modelers, wbo becomes trfraged and cuts his throat on the spot. The employer in terferes, and is almost murdered for his pains. The lat'er is recovering, but the former is dying. A woman kills her child, aud remorse kills her. All this during about a fortnight of time. DELAWARE. Peslrnctlve Fire In Wilmington. In Wilmington, Del., about half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning last, a fire broke out In James Downward & Son's rope factory, near the Kennett pike, beyond Adams street, which resulted in tbe total destruction of the building. The watchman left the building at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning and went home to bed. Belore leaving it he examined it tho roughly, finding everything all right, aud all the windows down. The first one of the em ployes who arrived on the ground after the alarm had been giveu touno one of the windows raised, irom which circumstance it is inferred that the fire was of iucendiary origin. The lac. tory had been stopped all winter, and the pro prietors had just laid in a large stock ot hemp, cic, intending to commence operations this morning. Tbe buildings were full of hemp, and tbe flames spread with fearful rapidity. The firemen were soon on the ground and sent copious streams of water upon the building, but were unable to Bub lue the tire until it had done about all the damage possible. The loss on building aud stock is quite heavy, and will probably amount to $17,000, on which there is an insurance of $10 000 in the followincr compa nies New Castle County Mutual, $2000; Dela ware Mutual, $3000; a Connecticut company, $3000; and a company in Philadelphia, $2000. Poisoned. Mr. and Mrs. Jarrell, living in Townsend, New Castle county, Del., were poisoned ou Friday last by drinking coffee into which ar.-enlc had been thrown Remedies were applied, and it Is believed Mr. Jarrell will recover, bat that his wile cannot. A colored boy. thirteen years old, is suspected of having administered the poison. Ex-President Johnson, Our ex-President's retirement is not what was generally expected. Recovering from bis sudden and eerious lllLes, he is making ready lor active political work again, bow he is going about it is a mystery. Just now there is a good deal of uncertainty as to what his future movements will be; but it 1b well understood that he desires to be a gubernatorial candidate, but the general tentiiwent among conservatives through out the State is that, unless ibe United States Supreme Court decides lavorably to the dis franchised masses, a canvass would be love's labor lost. Everything depends upon the com ing decision, and with tbat declaring the Fran chise law unconstitutional there Is little doubt that Johnson would be tbe coming man. His election wonld be a dead certainty. It is ex l ected tbat the Court will give its decision within the next ten days. In the mcautime Johnson will visit Knoxyille, Ntsbvtlle, and Memphis, aud will probably speak at each point. It is understood that his sickness Is not at all serious. There is a steady flow of Immi gration Into Tennessee greater than at any period for a number of years. Discovery of Coal on the Central Pacific KallroaU. A vein of bituminous shale, which burns like cannel coal, has been discovered near Elko, ou the Crti ral Pacific Railroad. It forms au exeat lent luel for steam purposes, and as it is appa rently Inexhatisiible, with every prospect that the quality will Improve, its value can hardly be overestimated. The deposit Is not more thau a mile and a quarter irom tbe line of the rail road; aud It is tound in a region where wood is selling at $10 per cord, and is not abundant at tbat price. The cost of mining and delivery ou the line of the road will be about $1 per ton; and it is estimated that oue ton of this shale oi coal is equal in value to two cords of wood o( the quality sold in the same region. Thus, iu the place of two cords of wood at $20, tbe rail road company will obtain the same amount ot fuel tor steam purposes at $4. In view ot the immense requirements of the road, the uiue mice will be a mobt important item. Not Gone Tet. The Chicago lribune bai a long editorial obituary ot Andrew Johnson.

Schotnacker & Cj., of your city, has arrived at the White House, and has been assigned a position in the Crimson Room. It is a full concert grand, is in a rose wood case, with pearl mouldings, and is exqui sitely finished with white enamelled plate, beautifully ornamented. The name of J. II. Schotnacker & Co. is inlaid with gold. It has already been tested by many fair hands, aud has been greatly admired for its extremely fine tone. This instrument takes the place of oue of the same make, which has been in the White House since the first inauguration of President Lincoln, and which has beeu retained under each successive administration, notwithstand ing tho general rule of refurnishing the Presi dent's mansion every four yeais. The choice of both the above pianos reflects great credit upou the skill of Philadelphia artists, as prior to the administration of President Lincoln the Chick ering piano was the chosen instrument. The old instrument, which has become historic, will be taken to the rooms of Schomacker & Co. in jour city, where it will be exniblted for a time. FROM GETTYSBURG.

Tne trial of James Uoields for the murder of Andrew Golden, at a tavern at Twenty-third and Uhesnut streets, on the night of November 2 last, before reported, was leNumed this morning. The defense set up that the defendant did not inflict the wound from whlou tbe deoeased died, alleging tbat lie himself was) beaitm and otherwise Ill-treated, and wltbout offering to harm his adversary, he went hone. The de ceased also went home from the saloon with out any one of those wbo witnessed the occur rence knowing that be was hurt. Subsequently he was discovered to be wound ed; wag removed to the hospital, where, In the course of a few days, he died. And It was a-gued hy tbem tbat there was no evidence tnat the stab was given in tbe tavern, and consequently t.ono that the defendant gave It. Ttieretore no Jury could conscientiously couvlct of the felony vt murder upon such a case, and no court could suf tain such a verdict. . At the close of the evidence tbe Court was re quested to direct the Jury at onoeto render a verdict or acquittal; but the Judges thought it better to send tbe case to tun Jury, aud the nriiuments of counsel were begun.

The richest man in Virginia, Mr. Samuel Miller, died at his home iu Campbell county, Yitginla, in the neighborhood of Lynchburg, on Saturday. Mr. Miller waa the "architect of bis own fortune," and was a man of such large comprehension of commercial affairs that, had he lived in London or New York, he would doubtless have been one of the money kings of tbe world. Living in perfect seclusion on his farm, ho jet operated in all the great centres of trade, and had the war not greatly impaired his estate, would have left behind him a property second only to tbat of the greatest of our mil lionaires. As it is, his wealth Is estimated at tbtec millions of dollars.

Spanish Insolence. We now hear of the arrest of an American Consular AgcDt at Glbura, Cuba, by tho Spanish authorities. What oll'ense he has committed, if any, we do not know. Most likely nothing beyond the expression of American sentiments. At all events, it is quite time for the reinforce ment ol our West India squadron and for tbe departure ot our new Cousul-Geueral, Mr. Plumb. Our Cuban correspondents havo nar rated many outraees ou the rights of American citizens bv bpaninrds, aud it is time that the strong arm of tbe United States should be stretched out for the protection of tho former. Let the Navy Department fit up and send to the neighborhood ot Cuba every available craft, and without delay. THE EUROPEAN MARKETS. By Atlantic Cable. Tbls Hornlngr's Quotation. London, March 30 A.

What poverty exists Is on tho part ef the banks, which is more apparent than real, on account ot their confervaiive tend-ncy of late.

The deposits have expert' reed a slight falling off, amounting to $102 10S; and of loans. $731,319; whilst the legal tinders have Increased $255,666. These figures are no indications of any increased poverty in the banks, but they confirm our con victions that the ciisis ot the market ia passed, and tb at, as soon as tbe expected statement shall have been mde to the Comptroller, the market will quickly return to a normal state. 8o far the stiingetcy bar, done little harm to the in dustrial interests ft tbe country.
