We have school-houses and raised money fur organizing, schools and employing teachers, but no effective measures have been taken to procure the best teachers and pro vide for the best mode of curriinunicating physical, moral and intellectual instruction. The complaint comes from all quarters that it is difficult ami often impracticable to se cure the services of a sufficient number of competent teachers.” In order to supply this deficiency it is recommended to estab lish seminaries for tlie special purpose of edu cating teachers,, , We have talced, the niorc paipsdp .give a full abstract of this Report, because/of the permanent and essential importance of- the general Subject to whichlt pertains".

A rail-road has been completed from Hiivanna,'4o miles into the country. It is in successful operatimvand will be continued to a much greater distance. Thus, thousands of inules and. hundreds of slaves are already dismissed from this busi ness of . transportation in, other "and better pursuits. The competition in the pruduc tioii of cotton, coflec and sugar has, 'within •oUr memories,-reduced the price. of those. articicft to tlic custamci' to,one-halt or-.one-. thricl of what it was.; This competition iS' indreasing..; Egypt, South America, Mexico' and TcxAs, ami pur own Southern and West ern'States, ire increasing their abundance, and India, guided by British.skill, is adding her abundant surplus fo-fill up the market, and nlLwill yet farther reduce ,their prices to the lowest possible point of production^ Steam engines, he states, are in very com mon use on the sugar plantations, and many of them of New York manufacture. By the laws of Cuba, sugar plantations, with their slaves and implements, are ;said to be ex empt from the debts of the .proprietor, and from every-proceeding by creditors;- This |>pl in speculation, and a deposite in rcserve'ila gainst the'vicissitudes of trade., .The mill-, tary force of the island ..consists;of 20,000 troops, its subjection and in ternal peace. Its towns-are quiet-, and seenr tp have a well ordered police.

Emigrants from Spain, as well as'residents, from England and the United States, are becoming numerous here, all of whom avowedly come to better .their’ fortunes, arid intend: to return home; this feeling, added-tO' colonial conditions, pro duces a Very bad state of society, and some very undesirable peculiarities;” . He adds: 1 • “The climate of Cuba isgenial, bland and delightful ■ beyond comparison—while you have been suffering with storms and a severe winter, we have had here a January and Feb ruary like our May and June, and with flow ers, we have had'every,fruit in reasonable abundance. Oranges are here in profusion all the year, like apples at the North in Oc tuberj’aud while the trees are fragrant with blossoms for a coming crop, the fields of su gar cane are verdant like our most beauti ful meadows. The estates, according to their extent, have from one to several hun dred thousand coffee trees, planted on lines six'feet apart and.to range either way; they are white and fragrant with blossoms in Feb ruary, March and April; amlpiuducc their corresponding crops in. the Fail months.— The buildings are generally placed some what.in the centre, half a mile or more from the road, with an avenue of four rows' i/f palm trees—aiuLol'tcn uu(side.rows of.man go interspersed with orange frees—all pre senting an appearance of elegance and beau ty with which we have nothing to compare. Sf.Mark’soh the Southern side of (he island, about seventy mites/distaiit from’Ha vanna, is the favorite coffee district.

Among the papers found on the .body is a letter of rebommendalion frojn“ GlarkeJ ; & : Thayer;& J Co. of New Orleans. Since the foregoing was prepared, it ban; been ascertained that the deceased had been lately at Tallahassee, where he negotiated thp sale of a draft fur $7OO on (lie North.— This appears from his papers.'

Scarcely a doubt can exist (hat the lost vessel is the Three Friends, and 'we are pained'to learn that .there were a n umber of other passengers from St. Joseph,. among them several ladies. . -The circumstances stated in the last par agraph, we grieve to say, leave very little room fur doubt that, among' the passengers who have found a watery graye between St. Joseph and Pensacola, besides Mr. Mosher, was Mr. George Johnson, formerly a mer chant in Alexandria, and lately, appointed Naval Agent at- Pensacola, and his wife,, (recently married,) and her unmarried sis ter, who left (his city some weeks ago for Pensacola. The Inst letter received from Mr. Johnson, by his friends in this city, is of tlie 14th ultimo, at which .time he was at St; Joseph,’ impatiently waiting ior a fail wind, to enable the vessel to sail, in which he was to take passage for Pensacola. The St. Joseph paper of the 20th, it appears, mentions such a vessel havink sailed for Pensacola some time in the week«prcccding.

The Pawnee prisoners were reached by a detachment of the American force station ed at Fort Leavenworth, and had been brought into Bcllevien. This massacre will be a signal for a fierce war between the Pawnees and Kansas. SWAPPING WIVES. , A late New Hampshire paper gives the particulars of a case of swopping wives which lately occurred in that State. . Two men married sisters,.and after a lapse of a short period of lime orte of them proposed to the other an exchange of wives, provided the interested ladies made no objections.' They made none,-so one brave husband gave the other a valuable horse, carriage'and harness "to boot/’ as : the expression is. Matters passed on swimmingly for a few days during which tinie he who received the “boot” dis posed of his horse for the round sum of near ly ono hundred dollars in ready cash. In a short time after (he disposal'of his property his newly received wife fell in with a person whom she loved more than her own husband, and believing it how her (urn to exercise (he glorious right of "free trade” she quit "her bed and board,” and ran away' with her .paramour.
