About 1 o'clock yesterday, a quarrel arising from a trivial cause resulted in trie death ot Francis Wyckon", a colored man. The facts are as follows: At the corner of Doak stroet, between Fif. teenth and Sixteenth, in Shippen street, James Demv keeps a barber shop, and had in his employ Francis "NVyckoll", Henry Carr, and Israel Licketts. The proprietor having ordered his looking-glasses, they were brought to his shop yesterday, and iu his ab sence Carr got possession of ono of them, nnder tho pretense of showing it to his em ployer's wife, and went out with it. When he returned he had some money, but not tho glass, and after some words the glasses were paid for by Mr. Derny, w ho went out with tho man that brought them. Wyckott' then ac cused Carr of having pawned the glass, aud said if he was proprietor he would disimargo Carr at once. Angry words ensued, uud finally Carr called Vyckotl' rt , and said he was no man if ho did not take it up, aud pulling off his coat, said he could whip him. They were about entering upon a fight, when Israel Licketts seized iiiem ooin auu nepi f.nfirt. While str.n't'iing with him, Wr took what is known as a '-Jtarlow knife" bis nocket. and with i. back-handed i,v.v Kent it into the breast of Wyckoll', tho point of tho blado pieiving his heart.

Under the above caption Ajqilt toin Journal gives the first of a series of sketches relating lo Cuba. We make two or three extracts: THE SIX.K OF CUBA. Tho island of Cuba in size is nearly equal to England proper (without the principality of Wales), being seven hundred and eighty miles in length, and about fifty-two miles in medial breath, containing a superficiid area of forty-three thousand live hundred square miles, being nearly equal in extent te all the other West India Islands united. Columbus supposed Cuba (at the time he visited the Isle of Pines, associated with Cuba) to be a continent, and it was so regarded until eir cumnavigated by Ocampo, iu the year 1.10S, In the early times of the settlement of tho West India Islands, San Domingo was tho most known, and received the largest share of attention. Cuba attracted but little notice in Europe, until Cortez made it a base of opera tions in his contemplated and consummated attack on Mexico. It will be perceived its first appreciation was for its military com niiiiid of the surrounding coasts. Subse quently, in necessary imitation of Cortez, the Prince do Joinvillo concentrated his lleet at lhivfiiin, preparatory to his attack on Vera Cruz, and to Havana he returned after cap turing San Juan do Ulloa. ITS MILITAHY POSITION. Its importance as the "key to the Gulf," will be still more perfectly understood when we recollect that Cuba is ninety-five miles from the nearest point of Jamaica; fifty miles from Hayti; one hundred and twenty mile from tho coast of Tobasco nnd Yucatan, in Mexico; and one hnudrod and fifty miles from the coast of Florida. JE i i-'1.uso.n'h opinion op CUBA. The importance of Cuba does not therefore arise solely from its groat productive wealth, "cor frojw the demand its iuhabitiuitu make upon the productions of other pcplcn, but it is largely founded upon its admirable ivifution in commanding the cntraneo to the Mexican Gulf, Havana being situated exnetly where the ci.rriers of commercial enterprises mint cross ncli others pr.lhs in their intercourse with Mexico and the Southern United State. It is a wonderful instance of tho nv;acity and htntcHnnnsbip of Thomas Jefferson that he ronhl have w tv ten nearly fifty years ago: 'I candidly confess that I have ever looked upon Cuba us the most interesting adlition that can be made to our system of Statex, the possession of which ( with Florida Point) would give us control over tho Gulf of Mexico and the countries and isthmus bordering it, ami would fill up tho measure of our political well-being." Tr.OI'T' Al. MIONTOTIT. The atmosphere of Ci.ba, as everywhere within tho tropics, is so unpolluted, so thin. ro elastic, so serene, nnd, save by experience, so inconceivably transparent, that every star and planet in tho heavens seemed to be bol Uy defined; you can see around and behind flu in; they actually stand out in the clear lilue, while the heavenly constellations nre more brilliant than in the temperate latitudes. Jn this night-watch wo saw the northstar anil the great polar bear skirting along the hori zon. And there were constellations unknown to Northern skies, with tho myriads of stars fiiVTmllrf iir ,n i 1 L-if-ii'n ' itntt,iT rrf n ilim just-perceived light, but ubsoTutely flaming tnrougn eternal space. THE VAIN PVllST'IT OF HEALTH. We have sad reminiscences of the truthful ness of the following sketch, troatinoof people who inconsiderately rush into foreign climes to recuperate an already destroyed constitu tion: Here it is perhaps necessary to sav that tho saddest chapters of suffering that could bo written would bo the histories of confirmed invalids coming from tho Northern States. seeking health in "the balmy air of these tropical climes. Accustomed to the careful housekeeping and domestic arrangements of their northern home, and sustained by an in vigorating climate, they find themselves sud denly in Havana, deprived of even a comfort able retiring room, and without the necessary convenience of even a bed to lio upon. Every dish, except otherwise ordered, is reeking with red popper, onions, or garlic; the language and habits of the common people are strange and repulsive; and, meantime, the climate, nervatiiiganilexhaustnigto the most vigorous constitutions, completes tho disaster; and the poor, disappointed seeker of health learns. when it is too late, the sad mistake that has been made by the consumptive searching a warm latitude tor health. We saw one of these wretched people hoisted by tho aid of a mattress upon the leek ol our departing steamer. There was apparent death in tho eye and in the ema ciated frame. It was a desperate effort to reach homo and die among friends and kin dred. Presently the steamer moved out of the harbor, that was literally as hot as an oven. The cool sea-breeze fanned tho brow of the sinking one: the pure fresh air acted as nn elixir; tho eye brightened, tho voh?e re turned, the hand had the power to give an iifl'ectionate return for the friendly grasp. The cool night air set in, and the invalid, liko one escaping from an exhausted receiver. wept nnd signed over tho suffering endured in the sud climate and surroundings lor inva lids common to all Cuban resorts. S5etisii!iccn' of Waller Sauige l.aiulor. BY CHARLES DICKENS. The last number of All the Ytur llot'iul contains a most interesting paper on Forster's "Life of Walter Savnge Londor,'' evidently from the pen of Charles Dickens, tho friend of both the subject and the author of tho biography. Landor, it is well known, was tho original of Lawrence Boy thorn in "Bleak House." We select from the article the following graceful and characteristic passages: The impression was strong upon tho pre sent w riter's mind, as on Mr. Forster's, during years of close friendship with the subject of this biography, that his animosities were chiefly referable to the singular inability in him to dissociate other people's ways of thinking from his own. He had, to the last, a ludicrous grievance (both Mr. Forster and the writer have often amused themselves with it) against a good-natured nobleman, doubt less perfectly unconscious of having ever given him offense. The offense was that, on tho occasion of some dinner party in another nobleman's house, many years before, this in nocent lord (then a commoner) had passed in to dinner, through some door, before him, ahe himself was about to pass in through that same door with a lady on his arm. Now, Lan dor was a gentleman of most scrupulous po liteness, and in his carriage of himself to wards ladies there was a certain mixture of stuteliness and deference belonging to quite another time, and, as Mr. Pepys would ob serve, "Mighty pretty to see. If he could by any effort imagine himself committing such a high crime and misdemeanor as that in question, he could only imagine himself as doing it of a set purpose, under tho stina of some vast injury, to inflict a great affront. A deliberately designed affront on the part of an other man it therefore remained to the end of his days. The manner in which, as time went on, he permeated tho unfortunate lord's ancestry with this ofi'ense, was whimsically characteristic of Landor. The writer remem bers very well when only the individual him self was held responsible in the story for the breach of good breeding; but in another ten years or so it began to appear that his father had always been remarkable for ill manners, and in yet another ten years or so his grand father developed into quite a prodigy of eenr.'-e behavior. Mr. lioythorn if he mny again be quoted said of his adversary, Sir Leicester Dod lock: "That fellow is, and his father was, and his grandfather was, the most stiff necked, arrogant, imbecile, pig-headed numb skull ever, by some inexplicable mistake of Nature, born in any station of life but a walking-stick's !" 1 he strength of some of Mr. Landor s most captivating kind qualities was traceable to the sumo source. Knowing how keenly he him self would feel the being at any small social dii-advautuge, or the being unconsciously placed in any ridiculous light, he was wonder fully considerate of shy people, or of such as might be below the level of his usual conver sation, or otherwise out of thoir element. The writer once observed him iu tho keenest distress of mind in behalf of a modost young stranger who came into a drawing-room with a glove on his head. An expressive commen tary on this sympatbetio condition, and on the delicacy with which he advanced to the young stranger's rescue, was aftowards fur nished by himself at a friendly dinner at Gore House, when it was the most delightful of houses. His dress say, his cravat or shirt collar had become slightly disarranged on a Lot evening, aud Cgvittt d'?rsay laughingly cnlled his attention to the circumstance as we rose from table. Landor became Hushed, nn 1 greatly agitated: "My dear Count d'Orsay, I thank you! My dear Count d'Orsay, J thank you from my soul for pointing out to me th- abominable condition to which I am reduced! If I had entered the drawing-room, and pre sentcd myself before Lady Blessington iu so absurd a light, I would have instantly gone home, put a pistol to my head, and blown my brains out!" Mr. Forster tells a similar story of his keeping a company waiting dinner, through losing his way. and of his seeing no remedy for that breach of politeness but cutting his throat, or drowning himself, unless a coun tryman whom he met could direct him by a short road to tho house where tho party were assembled. Surely these are expressive notes on the gravity and reality of his explo sive inclination to kill kings ! His manner towards boys was charming, nnd tho earnestness of his wish to be on equal terms with them and to win their confidence was quite touching. Few, reading Mr. Fors ter's book, can fail to see iu this his pensive remembrance of that "studious wilful boy, at once shy and impetuous," who had not many intimacies nt Kugby, but who was "generally popular and respected, and used his influence often to save the younger boys from undue harshness or violence."' Tho impulsive yearn ings of his passionate heart towards his own boy, on their meeting at Bath, after years of separation, likewise jiirn through this phase of his character. But a more spiritual, softened, and unself ish aspect ot it was to be derived from his re spectful belief in happiness which ho himself had missed. His marriage hnd not been a felieitious one it may bo fairly assumed for cither side but no trace of bitterness or dis trust concerning other marriages was in his mind. He was never more serene than in tho midst ol a domestic circle, and was invari ably remarkable for a perfectly benignant in terest in young couples and young lovers. That, in his ever-fresh fancy, he conceived in this association innumerable histories of him self, involving far more unlikely events that never happened than Isaac dTsraeli ever im agined, is hardly to be doubted; but ns to this part of his real history ho was mute, or re vealed his nobleness in an impulse to be generously just. We verge on delicate ground, but a slight remembrance rises in the writer which can urate nowhere. Mr. Forster relates how a certain friend, being in Florence, sent him a leaf from the garden of his old house at 1'iesole. That friend had lirst asked him what he should send him home, and he had stipulated for this gift found by Mr. Forster among his papers after his death. Tho friend, on coming bark to England, related to Landor that he ha.l been much embarrassed, on going in search of the leaf, by his driver's suddenly stopping his horses in a narrow lane, and presenting him ,;the friend) to "La Signora Landora." The lady was walking alone on a bright Italian winter day; and the man, having been told to drive to the Villa Landor, inferred that he must be conveying a guest or visitor. ,-I pulled off my hat," said the friend, "apologized for the coachman's mistake, and drove on. The lady was walking with a rapid and firm step, had bright eyes, a fino fresh color, and looked ani mated and agreeable." Landor checked oil' each clause of the description, with a stately nod of more than ready assent, and replied, with all his tremendous energy concentrated into the sentence: "And the Lord forbid that I should do otherwise than declare that she always was agreeable to every one but mer MARINE TELEGRAPH.
