NEWS FROM BT. DOMIGO.
VIEWS OP CORRESPONDENTS.
We make the following , extrada
from the S)omingo correspondence
of the da papers. The correspon
debt: of the New York Trilmne says:
is a poor little dirty phreenengb, for
all its roman*, and pictiiresque
pearance. It is built in a random,
hap-hazard OA of a way *long half
a mile of carving shore at the loot of
a - , ridge of hil;h" wooded hills, and
what, with its ramblinplanes and
grotesque huts, I think it is one of
the most abstird places I ever stew.
There are eighty or ninety buildings,
all told, consisting for the moat part
of a light frame work of scantlings
brought from the States and .clap
hoarded with bamboos split in half
and F alwell fiat by piling storiels.
on them while wet. The rude pla k
ing made in this • primitive manner,
' is from four to six inches wide and a
half or a quarter of an inch thick.
Paint is almost, unknown, but most
of the huts. are whitewashed. The
roofing is of cocoa leaves botind to
gether with vines. The flooring,
when there .is any, which is not of
ten, consists of-rough=hewn wood, or
bark, or boughs; or the same leaves
that are used for thatch. None of
the houses—or, perhaph, I should say
eabins—have more than one story;
' but few have more than one, or per
haps two rooms. Doors, and win
down are luxuries which teimajority
of the people have learned to do with
out; but there ire two'ortliree houses
in the village roofed. yritik qiingles
and supplied with - all such modern
conveniences as plank; floors, -parti
tions and doors, and windows.
In the centre of the settlement is
the; plaza, or square, withont - which
- no Spanish-built town is thought to
be Complete, and here is a liberty
- .trek of the royal palm sprier, plant
ed by the villagers five or six years
ago, to replace one cat down by the
Spaniardei before they •were driven
nifty. We . landed from the ship's
boats, on a wretched wharf which
runs out about 100 feet into the And
loW Water; and if the village looked
comical from the frigate, what shall

the grant as valid. Dehnonte
said, however, when 'I remarked that
this stupendous, grant oil a tenth of

care to keep up a show, at leset, of

noticing the opposition of; Cabral and
thellayti l ens to annexation, saysthere
is reason to fear very serious trouble
from that source, and ,that in that
case the Jnited States Government
would have another'disagreeable and
costly legacy turned over to it by an
nexation: Military operations would
be very difficult to cam , ' on, and it
would cost a great deal ;of treasure
andhlood; to say nothing' of disease,
in prosecuting a war amid the jungle
and denie forests of this tropical corm-.

influential party of 'Dominicans
against annexation; at Upset against
annexation through B. To=day a
gentleman, a foreigner, Who has been
here some time on business,ugh
not a resident, received a printed
manifesto-from the Dorainicati exiles
at SL Thomas, signed `IA Thoniand

destroys the document from fear of
being ,compromised. I inquired of
another gentleman, a Merchant, who
'ahem: to collect debts, Omit the Da
minicen exiles, and he assures me,
that out of some twenty-four debtors,
ten had been exiled byaaer. , . These
exiles are, for the mostipart, the in
telligent-men of the Country. The
case of 'David Hatch, tin Amerittm,
which' was investigated by a commit

Baez party will venture to do when
their schemes are opposed. I under

A.gestous TraiPERLHOEIiTO)IY.
Aloont a year since a gentleman
in business in 'this city, and largely
iutcreated in, the cause of temper
ance, had occasion to visit England
in one of the' steamers of the Cunard
line, and' noticed, on the 'first day
out, the midday" distributioh - of - grog'l
to,the forecastle hands. The same
evening he visited the forecastle, and
found that but. two of the seamen
were temperiim men. With their
aid he - instituted evening meeting,s,
and every night staid late ; with the
men, telling temperance iniecdotes;
singing songs of like character; , &c.
Towards the end- of. the -voyage he'
prepared a pledge-sheet,- which 24 Of
1 • •
;the steamer's hands. signed, friend:
I ing cooks, stewards, coal-passers, &c. .
• OU reaching the dock, entirely to ;
the surprise of the signers, he pre-.
seated each of them with a sovereigni.
which he requested they would de
posit, in a savings batik, , Unit itinight
be a nucleus for future savings, and
received a proMise from • each that
they iwould write Once & year tb him,
and istate how they were keeping
their pledger!, and how the sovereign .
•
of each was increasing.
These letters hive lately been re
ceived, and golto- prove how much
good may be accomplished by apex-' i
son ndividtailly,l if he works with his
whole heart.- Twenty of the signers
write to say that they have kept their
pledge, many of them enclosing -.cer
tificates to that 'effect` from temper
ance societies to which they belong.
Eighteen send proof that their
sovereign is Yet in the savings bank,
and' that it has been added to, in One
instance to the extent of several
pounds. Two, by reason of sickness,
had drawn out and spent the orig in .
al - sovereign, but had since then de
posited several shillings toward. its:
renewal. One letter came from a
sailor now serving in a British ' man
of-War, where he was _daily laughed
at fork eepingi'hs pledge, but w h ich
he nevertheless had kept, as shown
by a certificate enclosed from his sti= !
perior officer.. '
Of the regiaining four nothing had
been heard ; but the ' giver .of the
sovereign, has not yet lost hope that
he will speedily hear from them,• - as

Ai OI4D-FARRIOBRD• FAILURE.
A good story, says the Boston
Traveler, is toKof die two Old mer
chants in ,Essexuounty,:who once at
tempted to fail. They were brothers,
and by iiivieo industry had acquired
a handaomoindependonce, and -were
spending the evening of their d!ys
in a,quiet, comfortable way, keeping
a store, which they both diligently
attended, rather for the comfort and
-convenience' of ha ' '.. a place of dai
ly aid rekulikr i',ft than for any
great profit in their business. Well,
being easy,:
,good-natured sort of
men, they had, ".just as.a matter of
form'" put their names to the paper
of li son of one of them, in ,business
"E"ii - neighboring town.
• Natters-went on as Mmal for some.
time after the oldgentlemen had
adopted this bad habit of endorsing
the young maw's paper. But at
length this son and nephew discov
ero" that, he ciiuld not pay- his hon
' est debts, and. informed. his father
and uncle. The of Utlemen sat
down in thei r eather-bottomed
tip
chairs to look over • 'matter, -and
to decide on what they should de. -
Well," says Captain A. ~" as E.- has
failed, I suppose we have too, haven't
brother 1 ! :'''. -'
•.• " WhY, yes," 'replied Captain E.,
"I don't see but we beim; and if we
have failed, we must take •down' oar
sign, and 'not pretend to, be doing
business in the ordinary way." These
points settled, the old gentlemen,
proceeded to dismantle their store,of
its weather,steined old sign, and
then sat theniselvei down to wait' for
creditors to - come in• and attach. their
goods and hattels.' But- to their
surPris 4, no y came near them,
and - they w t through the forenoon
as_ usual. .- . , . •
'At- dine • time they made their
way with e iriousnese to theirrespect
ive home and as Capt..Er reached
his fine old mansion on H— street,
he•lookeil cautiously around; expect
ind to * strange facesin his, apart,
merits. But seeing none, lie turns to
his eldest daughter, and in a solemn
voice inquires : ' "Is ~there nobody
heft - but the family, my daughter?"
4, Nobody, father.' • 4' Have there - not
been any strangers -here this fore
'noon ?" -" No one. Why, did you
expect any ohe,- father?'. •`-Why,
yes - I have failed, my daughter; at
least I snpposc T have, ' for E. has,
and I expect the Sh eriffs here and
keepers.' .. • . •
But no klierifTs came, and no cred
itors troublecithe old 'men. Bvery-:
body knew that they Would pay !heir
hoPeet-de.bte, and meet _ all their en,
gagements •if it was in. their. poWer
to do so;Und that'it was useless and
senseless tomortto the usual•rueth
ods pf collecting debts due' to 'them.
So ; iii spite of all the brothers could
do to fail and have their property at
tached, nobody seemed inclined to
disturb them, and so. (hey utterly
failed to fail, to thegreat amusement
of their younger neighbors., in trade,
some of whom,.:-though J:Low old
themselves, continue to lan,gh over
'Captain - E. & Co.'s attempt to fail.
