Itseemsthat .an at- S tempt is now likely to be made to iudufce them ; • to liecome friends to tho American race in particular, huf whether the attempt will meet with success appears soihcivhat proble !!>•* matical. Wlmt is certain, however, is f that "a report on the resourees;of Iceland and Greenland,” dated INIS, lias been'compiled for the government Of the United States by Mr, Beniamin Mill Pierce, and that report appears to'have been drawn up with the'- express view ■ of throwing light on the subject of a proposed purchase of those dependencies from Den mark. Tt.u* very posfdliletlmtDeinnark may care for them as little as Bussia cared for Alaska. But in the present case the wishes Of the jieo ple whose allegiance it is proposed to transfer seem to deserve to be consulted. According to ' the author of the report, the Icelanders, who have long been complaining of the way m which Denmark neglects them, are looking hopefully forward to a union.with America, The latter part o'Miis assertion appears to he about as well-founded as is bis oalculntionthat the island, which how yields a bare existence to 70,000 souls, would, under American man agement, easily support a million; The report goes on to say that the acquisition or the island “is a question ofvital magnitude” for the American nation, but that it is a cpiestion which can easily be solved, as the island is geographically “an insular deiiendency of the Korth American, continent.” The Icelanders themselves seem to know nothing of this intended transfer, but it Cigi scarcely he carried into effect without their consent being first obtained, If Iceland were a mere province of Denmark, it might be ar hitiarily dealt with by the Cabinet of Copom hagen, but it claims to be considered as. a de pendency pith a 1 Constitution and laws of its own. Acoording to this theory the King of Denmark has very little more right to hand over Iceland to the United States than the Emperor of Austria would have to make a , 3 \ present of Hungary to Bussia. <jV, \ Having protested vigorously, and without f interruption; against the right of Denmark to 'W treat Iceland as a mere province, one destitute of any independent political-\existehce, the islanders will probably cry out loudly against the idea that it may be bartered away at will by the authorities at Copenhagen. What the Americans would do with the island, if they purchased it, is not very clear. On the occa sion of its being taken possession of by an er ratic English captain, the English Govern- ment hastened to disclaim any desire to retain . ’ their ne w acquisition. Perhaps the American Government may he just as free from any long* ■, • ing after so distant an outpost. It is “a far cry” ‘ from Beykjavik to New York. MOKE ASSIKXATXOy. SPANISH BRUTALITY. American Prisoners in Havana. The following letter -was sent l>y an Ameri can citizen, who is now in confinement in Havana, to the Secretary of State: National Prison, Havana, May 28, 1800. —To the Honorable Mr. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State of the United States of America: I hope you will*excuse the liberty X take in address ing vou, as I claim protection as'a citizen of the'United States. Although a Cuban by birth, I swore allegiance to the United States in the city of New 'York, at. the City Hail, in • September, 1807. I have been a trader between here and America in such goods as are commonly sold here, which to the best of my beliet is termed commission business. I arrived here near the close of last year, and was taken a prisoner on the 15th of January, 1809, in the town of Guanabacoa, at which time my evidences of citizenship were taken from hie. They also took from me my Freemason’s papers, which I received in the citv of Brooklyn. After taldng all my papers thev threw me into a dark, narrow cell, with the’two men—Leon and Medina—who were farroted on the 9th of April, and I did not now but they were going to take me next, as I was in the same ceil. While in the cell a guardia civile came in and told me if, I spoke a word that ho would shoot me down like a dog. They gave me three trials. First, they tried me as a rebel, and sentenced me to the chain-gang for ten years. After passing sentence on me they found the charge had not been proven,so they sent me hack to the cell. Second, they tried me on account of being a Freemason,and then sent me back to the cell. Third, they tried me as a loafer, and they are keeping me here as sucll. I have written to Mr. Hall, and also to Mr. Plumb, informing them of my situation. They told niv friends that they were attending to mv cas'e. ■ I have been 130 odd days in prison, and out of that fifty-five days in close confine ment. Each time that they took me to the court-house they had me handcuffed. They charge me here seventy-dive conts-per day for room enough to put my bed in to sleep, and also extra for my board. I feel you will sympathize with me in my present trouble, and it there is any favor yon can possibly shew me it will be the greatest / blessing you' can confer upon me in pro curing my release. 1 remain, your most hum ble servant, Tiikodokf, (Jaisias. . INgrtit Hon. Henry IdiboueUere, Lord Taunton. A cable despatch from London announces the death of Bight. Hon. Henry Labouchere, Lord Taunton, m the 71st year of his age. Lord Taunton was bornin London in the year 1798. He was a descendant, of an old Hugue not family, who left France at the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and settled first in Hol land, and subsequently in England. His mother was a daughter of the great commercial house of Boring. He received his education at Christ Church, Oxford; and took honors there in 1820. From 1820 lia sat in Parliament for the borough of St. Michaels till 1820, when be was returned for Taunton.. He was made a Lord of the Admiralty in 1822; Vice-President •f the Beard of Trade and Master of the Mint, and ~‘a Privy Councillor, in 1820. Iu 1829 lie became Under Secretary for the Colonies; and in the latter end of the same year President of the Board of Trade. He resigned office with the Whig Cabinet in September, 1841. But in July, 1840, with the return of his party, he became Chief Secretary for Ireland; and in July, 1847, once more President of the Board of Trade, going out of office on the resignation of Lord "John Bussell’s Ministry in February, 1852. In the latter part of 1855 lie accepted the seals of the Colonial office, in succession to Sir William Molesworth. In 185!) he was raised to the Peerage. About the time when he entered public life Mr. Labouchere visited this country in com pany with the Easrl of Derby and Mr.Denison, Speaker of the House of Commons, in-1827, to study the workings of the republican system. In 1840 he married ids cousin,a daughter of Sir Thomas Baring. She dying in lftSO.he espoused a daughter of the late Karl of Carlisle, thus allying himself with most of the great Whig families. — Times. John Brougham in California.

I’KOM NEW YORK. New Y'onk, .fulylO.— A tin box, containing $35,000 jn bonds and stocks, was -stolen from the Seamen’s Bank for Savings, in this city, on Monday afternoon, by two men, who apparently called on ordinary business, but on dexiarting carried the box with them. On Tuesday anoi'hing the cashier was notified that a box containing stocks and bonds to the amount of over $25,000 was at No. 15 Howard street, where'it had been left in the entry, directed to him..

CITY BULLETIN. Dangiciious. —Two or three years ago sev eral persons were killed outright and others were crippled for lifo by getting jammed be tween brick-piles and passenger-cars, on the public streets. The City Councils, in order to prevent a recurrence of such deplorable acci dents, enacted a law providing that bricks should not be piled within a certain distance of the railroad tracks. The enforcement of the law prevented any accident, and the com munity by this time lias become lulled into se curity .in consequence. But, in many in stances, this law is violated, and unless the proper officers in the Department, of the May oralty seek to it, some unfortunate creature will be mangled when least expecting it. In some.ports of the city large brick plies;'ore within a few inches of the track, and: should some unfortunate passenger-in a city railroad car happen to look out, or put his arm care lessly out of the window, ho might suddenly lose liis life or become a cripple.

At the latter place a handsome entertainment will lie provided. The prize won—a grand piano— will he brought along from Baltimore by the victorious singers. Velocipede.— Much complaint is made against, the use of velocipedes on the public highways in Fail-mount Park, because the ap pearance of them at such places frighten horses. About the year 1804 or 1805 the City Councils enacted a law preventing the use of velocipedes on the public highways. Any in telligent member of the Select or Common Council, of course, can refer directly t,o the page of the ordinance hook containing the salutary law.

A first rate and somewhat gorgeous time may be expected, ’ Drink tlie famous Arctic Soda Water and read the Evening Bulletin, at Hillman’s Newsstand, at North Pennsylvania Depot. After an interval of nearly sixteen years (says the London Daily News) the British Govern ment finds itself engaged in allot crusade against the evil of betting. We say tlie government, because the police prosecutions of which we read almost daily are not only too numerous, but extend over too wide an area to be referred to the discretion of one or two chiefs of police. For a long time it seemed as though the ex tension of education and the general progress of society were likely to abate and finally sup press the practice of gambling by a gradual and invigorated constitutional action, working a cure more thorough than could be hoped for from the application of external and local remedies. Tlie experience of the upper classes appeared to favor this view. We (lo not hear now of noblemen staking ,£5,000 on a single card, as Fox told Croker had been done in- liis day, iior of losing and winping £70,000 in a single night. Pitt went in and looked at this kind of life, and, as Wilberforce attested, displayed in tense earnestness when joining in the games; but he perceived their increasing fascination, and soon abandoned them for ever. Wilber-■ force-himself kept a bank “for one night only,” and won £OOO, but the pain lie felt at know ing that much of this money was lost by those who could not pay without serious in convenience, cured him of tlie taste for play. Practical worldly sense in one character, aiid kindness of heart in the other, led to the same resolution. Diuhig the whole of the last.cen tury gaming of some sort was tlie' ordinary amusement for both sexes in the best society, and it was not uncommon to hire a professional gamester to keep the bank at a private house for tlie evening. The deepest gaming that had ever been seen in England took place during the American war; hut there was. some very high play at White's and Brooke’s for five years preceding tlie peace of 1815. So late as 184:’, there were as many as twenty public gambling houses and hells in Pall Mali, Piccadilly, and St. James’s, called into exist ence by the success of Crockford,wlio had then retired; but about that time many of them were suppressed. But long before that date society had grown out of tlie vice of private gambling, which fifty years before had been tlie occupa tion of young and old, in anil out of tlie season, aiid in town and country. Between gaining proper and betting as it is practised with refer ence to horse-racing, the distinction is unessen tial; in eacli case there is a wager depending mainly on a chance. For the last twenty years the increase of race meetings and the increased circulation of newspapers’* which, for good or evil, augments every force at work in society, have enormously stimulated the practice of betting, imtil it may be said that there is no place where money can he earned, Kerrowed or stolen, where horses are not backed. A Senator in Salt I.nUe City Pleases tlie Gentiles. [Salt Lake City Correspondence! Chicago Trilmne.] Some considerations made a little siieecli of Senator Howe’s, spokenlast evening in response to calls from Gentile serenaders, peculiarly grateful to the feelings of the Gentiles of the city. No one expected anything so significant, and I only give a sketch of his remarks from memory. I shall he satisfied if I convey as good an Idea of the life and humor of*tlie speech as a skeleton does of the beauty and grace of the human form. lie said that this unexpected call found him in something like tlie condition of the new boy who, upon being asked to spell dog, began: “C—” “Eh ?” says the teacher. “D—” “Yes, that’s it. D—A—” “Tut, tut,” broke in the teacher again. , “Well,” says tlie boy, “I can’t spell here, I haven’t got the hang of the house.” He couldn’t speak here ; lie hadn’t got tlie bang of the place. Neither was he in quite the same position as his friend (Seward) who liad preceded him. He felt more like tlie New Hampshire Judge caught drunk in Boston, who didn’t want his friends to hear of it be cause he had a character to lose. From all lie heaid and saw, this was as likely a place for him to lose it as he could find by traveling .twice as far. Another difficulty that con fronted him was what he heard of the faith of, the Latter-Day Saints. He had been brought up in tlie faith of the early saints. But as lie knew nothing of the former, and none too much of tlie latter, he couldn't well venture to discourse on the sub ject of faith. Again, it was said some gentle men in the town had more than one wife. [“Ob, no; it’s somewhere else;” “They’re only women,” &e., from the crowd.] lie didn’t know but lie was a little weak ou that, point, lie liad lived with one wife thirty years, and had sometimes thought that if lie should meet ■'others just like her lie should go for them. But there weren’t any like her; not one. lie (believed in one faith, one “wile, and (hie bap tism—didn't know as lie quoted correctly, but it would answer liis purpose. There was one thing, however, said the Senator, growing seri ous—and he pointed over the crowd to tlie Seventh Infantry band dressed in full uniform, their instruments glistening in the light of the lanterns—there was one thing he knew all about. That was the colors worn by the gen tlemen who had given them so delightful a mu sical treat. Wherever he saw them he under stood that he was under tlie protection of Ame rican law. Not that it was their duty to make, to interpret or -to execute that law ; it was tlieirs simply to . remove . oppositioif, to make a' plaiiT, , T3rwin,”&Triijglit"'TiaTliiivTiy- ilifoiigh ' or over all that rose up against tlie authority and sovereignty of his country.
