Dear Sir —Once mere returned to this place of former tesidence and old acquaintance, after many years absence, I perceive vast improve ments in almost every thing relating to the conve niences and comfort of life, and the fat ilities of commerce. The wile and patriotic administra tions of Vives and Tacon seem to have kept pace with the March of improvement so evident in our own tides of those United States; for here, too, the Steamboat and the Locomotive are , things now of such ordinary observation, as no longer to • astonish the nattvcs' by their mysterious im pulse, velocity, and economy of time and labor. One planter, near Gaines, paid, as I have been told, in former days,las much as twenty-six thous and dollars for the conveyance of his sugar crop to this city, by corm and oxen, whilst now the same weight and bulk can doubtless come in one tenth of the time, add for one fifth of tho cost, by the Ferro Conic even at the present high rate of fare and carriage. Both those Captains Gen eral have hit imperishable monuments in this city, and vicinity, to perpetuate their names for many generations to come—and particularly the latter, whose name sounds continually on the ear, La calla de neon,' Tacon street—. La- Twin) de Tatou,' Tacon Theatre—. El Paseo de Tacon' the Tacon Promenade—. La Plaza de neon,' the place of Tacon or Tacon square—. La Cared do Tacani' Tacon Prison—. El 'lnutile de neon' the Tacon mole, &c., &c. La Plaza de Thant' is situated intramuros, or what used to be called the suburbs ; but which now contains probably three times the population of the intramuros 'of Havanna. It is an area of probably five hundred feet square, enclosed by a low stone wall with square pillars, •at about 12 feet distance, and gilt pointed iron spear railing, with trees round its in ner, 'border, and the whole area in grass, without trees or walks, for the troops to be reviewed and to exercise in it. Spaciou enough, it would seem, for ten thousand infant horse and artille ry to do it, with ample room for 11 their evolu tions. The Tacon Theatre is on the west tide of the old Pasco, just without the walls of, this city, in which two new gates have been opened, during my absence, to commurricate'vvith it by the O'Reil ly and Bishop streets. It is said to be only equal. led in size by the Theatre of Milan, in Lombardy. The Pit called ,El Patio,' is divided into con venient seats with, arms ; ' called r Lapelos,' and numbered so that all, sit comfortably without ev er being jammed. I seemed to me that it might admit your Chesnut" treet Theatre, pit and boxes i , in its space. There are three tiers of boxes, cal led . Palcos,' which have only chairs in them, on -level floor. The lower let fur $ 5 each, and the two above at $ 4 eacfh—the general entrance to theta all being moreover 6 Rids seneillos, or 60 cents—the Rial of "late being 126 cents. Over these is a tier called ' La Terittlia, ' (a club or meeting of persons) one side of which is exclu sively for women who have no male company, and the other side for men and such women as may accompany them. Hero are separate seats also in three front lines, behind which the seats rise, without division, as out theatres. The en trance to these divisions is 4 Rials sencillos, or 40 cents—besides, the general entrance to the house as above of :60 cents—and above all is the • Cazuela,' or gallery, with common rising seats or benches, as they recede from the front. Here the whole charge; I believe, is 2-i Rials sencillos, or 25 cents. The centre portion of this sky apart ment seems to be appropriated to .1a gente de color' anglice— the ladies and gentlemen of color. Over the Patioand about half the elevation of the ceiling is suspended a very splendid chandelier, which gives a brilliant,light to all the house. The Theatre belongs to one individual who built it at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. The . RaVel family' performed the evening I went with some of our family. The prourietor paid them $ 700 per night of performance. He must have cleared $ 2000 that evening, as the house was well filled, 3000 persons. being estimated to be there. The company presented a moe; beautiful appear ance of well dressed and decorous men and wo men. The performance was good, and the music excellent. The play was .El =astray,' Verde,' 1 the Green Monster—middle piece tight rope and 'floor dancing, concluding with the burlesque pan tornhne. „Miss Wells danced ' La Cracoviana,' in imitation of La Divine Fanny,' who so grace fully used to throw op her heels on a level with the brains of the admiring crowd's of male gazers. •I was told that Miss Wells was an American girl of New York—and by anothei that she is an Irish girl. They call her, in the' bills, La ingley• so—english, which is more respectable here now than vine Americana,. for reasons which need not be named. I saw nothing in Miss Wells' Cracci• vians to make modesty blusb.. 7 -gracefut dancing, and her brass-bound heels, of . tacopes, keeping time with the music of the orchestra. . i have been told that when kanr q first danced the Craceyi ana,-it disappointed these Spaniards, who gave her no applause whatever, only a few who had seen her in Europe, and knew the excellence of her heel taps, applauding. But after she had danced several others, end repeated her cracoviana, - the whole house wore extravagant in their ap plauses. .The military bands now play all, her various dancing tunes, in the streets and squares, which are always admired and animate the hearers. . . La Plaza de Armas,' before the Government House, where the troops formerly paraded and were reviewed, is now laid oft hcatitifully into a square enclosed by , low wai n i thigh .enough for the stone seats, with iron raged backs. The walks §or4ering.anil intersecting the centre at right angles aro neatly flagged 'kwith white sand atone. The four inner squares have low iron rail ing, with a fountain spouting u water in tho cen tre of each, and . hordcred by orange .trees handl soincly trimmed, With other pleats and shrubs and flOiscra with grass. In /lid circular -centre is SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 184 a fuU sized marble statue, an excellent *likeness, of Ferdinand the 7th;standing about 20 feet high on a square marble pedestal• with inscriptions on the four sides—and the whole guarded and en closed by a circular iron gold-tipped spear fence. The buildings which surround the square are large and imposing. Here on Wednesday and Snit ! day evenings, the military bands of the several regiments, who alternate for the week, play choice pieces, chiefly selected from the best Italian oper as. They commence as. the evening gun of the guard ship, in the harbour proclaims the hour of eight, and conclude at nine. The concourse of the arabulantes, male and tamale, who usually crowd the walks, flow in the constant current and countre•current, meeting and windin g through each other whilstibe seats are generally all occu pied, many of them who are lovers of 11 duke far niente,' enjoying the piquant gusto and fragrance of the narcotic weed. The place is always well lighted in the dark of the moon, in addition to the splendiu galaxy of Heaven's brilliant lamps overhead, beaming out in numbers and effulgence unknown to the north of these tropical latitudes. The land breeze of the night, sweet, balmy and 'refreshing—and all this without cost to the oriel ers—nature and the government proffering them gratis. At the foot of this Plaza, and adjoining the Garrison yard' of Los FLeas, or permanent regiment, is the Temple where the old tree 'stood, and a monument of Columbus, erected by 'Vives in 1829, who caused two Ceyba tree.s'to be plan ted there, to replace the old Ceyba under which that great .Palinures' or fatuous Argonaut first heard Mass, on landing near that spot, three hun dred and twentytwo years ago, in 119. That old tree stood there, fresh and vigorous, until the year 175:3, when its twin successors took its place to tell to future generations, . here stood the con secrated plant which first inhaled the incenseof a christian's sacrifice, in this till then unknown and undiscovered Western World!' These twins are now :wetly inches diameter in their trunks, and probably spread a shade of fifty feet diameter. They stand near each corner of the front of the enclosure in the centre Of which is an obelisk of three sides, and twenty-five feet high, or, a square base 4 feet high and 6 feet wide, protected - by a circular fence, with inscriptions on the sides, of the events there commemorated—and in the rear of the lot is the handsome temple, 33 feet wide, and 23} feet deep, which also has a frontispiece with inscription.t There are four cabbage-trees and a solitary Palm symetrically placed in the area at equidistance from the oli r elisk. The remains of Colon, when brought hither from St. Domingo, by order of the Spanish t ,crown, in 1796, were placed in a monument erected fur them, under the old tree, as I knew when here before; but they were afterwards removed to the cathedral church, where they now are, on the gospel side of the mini altar, in a nitch made to receive them in the wall, and commemorated on the marble slab which closes it. To describe more of these public build ings would extend my letter to inordinate length. In my next will give you an account of the pro ductions of thiswealthy island of Cuba or Fernan. dine. whose,resources and treasures can hardly be estimated. • See Malachias, Chap. 1, versa 1 lth, For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles ; and in ev ery place there is a sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean offering: ( the precious body and blood of Christ in the eucharistic sacrifice,•) for my r name is great among the Gentiles,saith the Lord of hosts." t Inscription on the Temple froni, "In thkreign of Ferdinand the 7th, and Don Francisco Dionis. io Fives, being President and Governor, the city of Havanna, most faithful, religious and pacific, e roded this simple snonument decorating the 'spot, where in the year 1519 was celebrated the first Mass and first council beld; Bishop Don Juan Jose Diaz de Espida solemnised the same august sacrifice here on the 19th by of March, MEI.

AT ClllllL.—ln order to give his Highness some notion of an English horse-race, it was agreed that the officers should get up swedp stakes among them , elves ; which the Shah ho sooner heard of, than he addedgold-hilted sward with Damascus blade. o The officers redo their own horses, and turn ed out in gay-striped jackets and jockey caps; so but for the dark faces and turbaned heads whida everywhere encountered the eye, it would not have been difficult to imagine ourselves suddenly transported to Ascot and Epsom. The word hav ing been given, away started the competitors, in high blood and spirits ; and as the rider belang ing to some particular. ; regiment passed the others in his career, the menlcomposing it en' husiastical ly cheered and hurraed him, others taking up their shouts as their favorite passed hint in turn: this military favouritism imparting to the contest a degree of wild excitement such ai I have never wessed on any similar occasion. e The second heat was still more warily con tested; as, according to the regulations above mentioned, only the two foremost horses could be entered for the third. Major Daly of the Fourth Light Dragoons, and an officer of the Sixteenth Lancers, whose name I now forget, obtained the precedence, after a hard struggle, the race bcing a neck-and-neck one tilisentire way. As the two successful officers belonged to dif ferent divisions, one to the Bengal and the other to the Bombay army, the partisanship which he roin had been only regimental now extended to the two armies, and • Bravo, Bengal! ' and .Bra re, Bombay ! ' burst at every moment from the eager multitudes assembled, as the riders altern ately passed or repassed each other in the final heat. o After a contest in which the competitors themselves almost appeared to (eel the influence which pervaded the crowd, and to think that the honor of their respective divisions depended upon their success, Major Daly gained the race by a bout a neck, and was handed the sword amid the delightful cheers of the Bombay troops."—Eng fish Paper. NEW METROD OF GROWING ASPARAGUS.— The Editor of the Horticultural Magazine, recom mends a trial of the following method of growing asparagus, which is practised at Nice, and of which a high account is given in the London Gardeners' Chronicle. Take a (part wine bottle; invert it over the head of a stalk of asparagus just rising, from the ground, and secure it by three sticks so that it cannot be knocked over. If loft in this state, the asparagus will grow up into the interior of the battle, and, being sti nulated by the unusual heat and moisture it is then exposed tp, will speed ily fill it. As so , m as this eias taken place, the bottle must be broken, and the asparagus removed when it will be found to have formed a thick head of tender delicate 'shoots, all eatable, end as com pact as a caulitlower.-Antericart Farmer. , CON&TITIITIONALITI ES.—Mossre.

As the rover uttered these words he entered the after cabin of the ship, lifting, up the curtain which divided the apartment from the larger room in front, stood face to face with the shrinking and 'terrified girl, whose ashy paleness, when she saw the countenance of the intruder, told that his char acter, if not his person, was already known totter. And if ever before she had seen that face it could not be forgotten ; for no one looked on the Dark Rover without having every featiture of his coun tenance+ burn into memory. He had apparently been'handsome once, but his face was sow brutal ized by the indulgence of strong and evil passions. The stern, frowning brow—the keen and glitter. ing eye—the compressed, yet voluptuous lip— and the expression of settled malignity over the whole face, left an impression on the grazer's mind which neither time nor events would eradicate.— Ho, et least, it seemed in tho case of the young girl, for .she uttered a swilled shriek, and turned away shuddering from his look,'as if she had seen some deadly serpent. His eyes lightened with li centious passion, When burying her face in her hands,shcesposed to sight her rounded and snowy shoulders; but, checking any other outward mani festation of his evil thoughts, curled his lip• in a bitter sneer, and said ironically, . 'And so you do know me—me, the despised suitor—the good-far-nought of whom your cant ing guardian bid you beware, because, fors Joth, I was a cavalier and not a rascally, snivellintround head like himself.

All the horrid events of the last day had passed in horrid review before her. She stood once more on the deck of their gal lant ship, as it left the port for old England, whith er her guardian was returning after having settled her West Indian possessions—she steed and watched with him the sitting sun go down behind the inland hills, while thil parting beams stretched a bridge of gold across the deep, on which, even as the old legend fancied, angels might have walked to glory--she lay again in her couch, with the silvery moonlight hoktrig in through the little window, whqe she dreamed sweet dreams of home, and of one tio whom her virgin love had been plighted, the graceful, high horn Edward—she saw, with deaPair, the low caravel that shone oat from behind she deserted headland at break of day, and made for them with clouds of canvass swell ing in the breeie, 'and the bloody gag, whose soli tary red field was unrelieved by a single emblem, waving high ati the peak—she Wield the gradual approach of this relentless foe, the collision of the two vessels, the crowd of ruffians who leaped on the almost anal med hhip, the short hut deadly con flict, the decks slippery with blood, the fall of her guardian, their servants, the captain, and the rest of her defenders, and her own wild retreat to the after cabin, a few minutes before, where she had prayed for death; she saw all this, and well might those memories", combined with the clash of arms, the shrieks of the wounded, and the curse of the pirates still ringng in her ears, prevent her from hearing what h captor said. But when he came to his last thee ful annunciation, these fearful \, words penetrated while terror dilated her eyes, and her hands icivolu tarily rose in supplication. 'Oh! spare me, cried she, felling on her knees, and clasping theet of the Rover, 'by the memo ry__. of your mother by your hopes of salvation— spare me, sparo m 1' . • The pirate looked down on the agonized coun tenance at•is fee, but the bitter sneer on his lip faded not, nor did la single muscle of his face re lax. At length he , burst into a scornful laugh. 'And is it to yield to a girl's tears that I have plotted and toiled, and suffered for years; in the hope of one, day having my revenge?--and now. when the goal has been gained, and I am about to drink the cup for which.' hare worked so long, are you mad enough to think that a few tears, or a well-acted part will induce me to forego my prize?
