The papers are mainly occupied' witn do tails conncoted with tho late invasion of the Island. A large number of cross and other honorary distinctions have boen conferred on those who were prominent in repelling the invaders at Cardenas, while liberal contribu tions have been made for the support of the tirrrille of the killed and wounded on that occasion. Much excitement still prevails throughout the Island, and the feelings of the old Spaniards and the Government officials niti strong against Americans and the Ameri can Government - ' - -, -: The officers, crews, and passengers of the American vessels still remain in close con finement.. Efforts have been made by tor ture te extort confessions from the Captains of the Georgiana and Susan Loud, but in vain. Tey declared repeatedly that they regularly cleared from New Orleans for Chogres, os was confirmed by their papers, that they had no knowledge of the character or objects ef their passengers until the steamer Creole came alongside, when a number of them went on board of that vessel, and that they were proceeding on their course to Chagrcs when they were captured by the Spanish steamer. The captains were then suspended in the air by cords attached to their thumbs, but, despite the torture, they persisted in jKnir stntpmflntS. Among the prisoners was a young lawyer from one of the Western States, whose symp toms of trepidation gave expectation that by workine On his fears confessions might be obtained that would tend to criminate his companions. A halter was accordingly pla; ced round his neck, and cannon balls attach ed to his feet, and with the threat of imme diate death hanging over him, under promise 'of pardon for himself and for some of his companions whom he named, he made cer tain disclosures upon which the authorities based their further proceedings. ' The American Consul was peremptorily refused all access to or communication with the prisoners. To give a color, however, to the proceedings of the Court, the presence of the British Consul was invited. A strong disposition was manifested to dispose of the two American captains by a summary exe. cut ion, but against this course tho British Consul warmly remonstrated, and warned them that such a course would inevitably in volve them in serious difficulties with the American Government. In consequence of these remonstrances tho decision of the Court upon their case was postponed. " The chief engineer of the Matanzas and Sayanilla Railroad died suddenly at Havana, and it was supposed by poison, but there is no doubt that his death was occasioned by over excitement and perplexity consequent upon the invasion at Cardenas. We have been informed by highly intelli gent gentlemen that the excitement and ter ror at Matanzaa, Havana, and throughout the island, upon the spread of the intelligence of the landing at Cardenas, was extreme, and in many instances the authorities seemed perfectly paralyzed. It is their opinion that if a thousand brave men, weli appointed, and well officered, had pushed on promptly from Cardenas, they could have placed themselves in the centre of the city of Havana without serious resistance. FROM CARDENAS. An extra from the office of the Bristol (R. 1.) FhcEcix, dated June 14, says: "We learn from Capt. Pearce, of brig A. G. Washburn, which arrived at this port yes ier day, fiom Cardenas, that he saw and con versed with tv;o of the persons who we're left at Cardenas by Lopez. The one, an American boy, stated to Capt. P. that he em barked on board the Georgiana for Chagres, on his Way to California, and showed him his ticket for his passage through. The other was an Englishman, w ho also took passage for California. ' ' They both declared that they knew noth ing of the intention of Lopez until they en tered Cardenas ; that they refused to take up arms, or have anything to do with the expe dition. On landing they made immediate application to Mr. Bell, the American Consul, for protection. The Consul stated that he could do nothing for them. They were con sequently taken prisoners, and the next day carried to Matanzas, where they were shot. Mr. Washburn, a passenger in the Wash burn, states that he saw, the day previous to his departure, a gentleman direct from Ma tanzas, who informed him that he taw the four prisoners shot. Much complaint is made against Mr. Bell, tbe American Consul, for his non-interference in behalf of those who applied to him. Highly Important from Havana.

The Examination or Lopez Tbe ex amination of Gen. Lopez, at New Orleans, was continued on the 8th instant. Judge McCaleb excused himself from conducting the examination, on account of his health, and sent the case to Commissioner Baldwin. The case was then continued from day to day, and Lopez signed a bond to that effect. Lopez and his friends left the hall, followed by a large orowd to hit hotel. On hie arri val at the St. Charles, three cheers were given, and the General, being' loudly called for, eame out on the portico and addressed the assemblage in Spanish. This speech is remarkable for its assurance and would be ufficient of itself to convict him.- We do not, sea after an avowal on his part of hit guilt and hit determination to continue hit efforts is teduoe our countrymen from their tluijr to iheir Gevernmf nt, bow he can escape Jmnishm ml.

Besides it is due to the publishers to protect them from the ruinous competition of cheap city papers. These are made up weekly from old matter that has appeared in daily prints, and scattered abroad to the great in jury of country publishers. We are sure that no editor in Pennsylvania will object to protection in this form. This matter, has been repeatedly urged upon Congress and we wonder that Senator Rusk overlooked it in framing the bill of which the following is an abstract : Section 1. Half ounce letters, two cents for any distance within the United States, if pre paid, and five cents if not pre-paid. Sec 2. Provides for boxes of deposit, and carriers in large cities, at one cent per letter, pre-paid. Sec. 4. Newspapers same as at preterit. Hand-bills to be charged as letters. ,Seo. 4.

EXTRACT of a letter from the EDI. tor, dated Colombia Hocsf., Philadelphia, June 18, 1850 Summer weather is now fairly upon us and ifi a week or two, the migration of the magnates the fashionables and those who desire to ape the fashions, as well as those who go for health and comfort, will leave the city lor the capes and fashionable watering places. It is probable that at least 20,000 persons are annually "out of town" during the hot summer months. Cape May, Sara toga end Newport, are the great attractions. The Evening Bulletin of Monday, in an ex cellent article, lectures the Fhiladelphians on the folly of neglecting the beautiful scenery of. the valley of the Susquehanna and the Juniata and the salubrity of the pure moun tain air, for the - luxurious follies of Saratoga and Newport. Monday last was a great day among the Germans of Philadelphia. The greatest mu sical jubilee that ever was held in America, came off. It was composed of various Ger- man musical societies from Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Boston and from Read "8 and Bethlehem. These societies are the guests ot lour uerman musical societies ot I... . , . . ..... rnuaueipiiia, anu mo uiuteu uuuy comprises the greatest number of musicians ever as sombled in one body in the United Stales. At about 12 o'clock, they assembled in Inde pendence Square, and sang the two favorite National airs "Hail Columbia" and "The Star Spangled Banner" to a concourse of not less than 10,000 persons. Paine's great discovery of generating light, heat and consequently motive power, is to be tested at the Astor House, New York. If true it will runk ns the greatest discover), not only of the age, but in a physical view, the greatest the world ever knew. It will be to the physical, what printing has been to the mental and literary world. What is to be come of our coal mines, if by simple me chanical means, the hydrogen and oxygen of water can be separated at a cost almost no- minal, and the light and heat generated ap plied to ordinary purposes? Professor Henry of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington denounces it as a humbug, and as an impos sibility. This is, however, no evidence o jts being such. Dr. Lardner gave the mot scientific reasons in opposition to the feasi bility ofanavigating the ocean by steam, ye his lectures were hardly printed when the feat was accomplished by tho arrival of the Sirius at New York. A learned society in Holland, in Ihe days of John Fitch, gave it as their opinion that steam could never be used as a propelling power. Thus it has been with all great discoveries, out until it is fully tested, few will believe it. Should he be successful, Mr. Paine it to receive ten million! of dollars for his patent The following from the Evening Bulletin gives a lively and humerout description of the effects likely to proceed from this great discovery : "If one half is true that is predicted, the time is not far distant when coal mines will be voted bores; when forests will grow un- disturbed: when the whale will be suflered to accumulate his blubber unmolested ; when I ... ' steamers will suck up their liquid fuel from the ocean and the river ; when locomotives will carry ibeirs in a tea-kettle: when house wives will go to the hydrant and'pump for the aliment of their lamps; when housemaids will make their fires from a pitcher : when Will broil in their native element if! i. - : 1 1 i r r i i . wood-cutters and coalmen will turn into so m?nJ umeiios, wnose -occupations gone;' when fire companies will combat their own element; when the emblem of the 'Sonnies' wi" become genuine 'fire water ;' when, in a word, the hitherto unattainable end will be accomplished, and the river will be sel on fire ! The American Charge at Rome. A let ter from Italy in tha Commercial Advertiser of Saturday, statea that Mr. Cass our Charge at Rome, on paying his congratulatory visit to Pius IX, at 1ha Vatican, did not kneel and kiss the Pope's slipper, at wat done by the other Foreign Ministers. To a remonstrance from his brother diplomatists againt thi breach of etiquette, he replied, that as a re presentaliva of a republican government, he could not kneel to any monarch on earth and at a Protestant be certainly could not perform such an act of homage to the Pa pacy.

Herald, writing! rom Port an Prince, on the 23d of May, peakt of an interview Mr. Green, our consul. I co had with the Emperor: I Mr. Green had an interview in reference to the American claims, but had no powers to settle them, and the Emperor talked about as commission. These claims amount to a million and a half, and belong to American merchants and shipowners. They arose from the most serious tyranny. I will give you one instance. The captain of an American vessel lying in this port, sent ashore and bought a few sticks of lonwood lo make a fire to cook with, being out of firewood. The vessel was immediately seized for hav. in logwood on boatd, contrary to law, and both cargo and vessel were confiscated by Ihe imperial government. The only course Ihe American government can take that will be of any use is, to send a man of war here to demand the money, and it will be paid. There is no use of talking. The Emperor will talk about it for six years, rather thnn 'here were 261 deaths. The average num pay a dollar of these claims, unless forced to ber of deaths per day was 20. it. There has been a secret ngent of the Brit ish government here for some time, busily engaged in bringing about a union between the Dominicans and the Haytiens, so that there should be but one government on the island. He made a proposition to Santana, who is the president and military chief of tne wnites, or Dominicans, mat lie and nis republic should acknowledge Faustien I, as Emperor of all the island, and that the latter would acknowledge Santana as his second, with the title ot military chief of all the !nnd. Tho Dominicans saw through the trick, and rejected it wilh scorn The men in power, backed by the aboli tionists in England, have sent this Sir Robert out here to carry out a deep laid scheme. They wish to see a negro empire cover all this beautiful island. Besides, they look with alarm at the progress which the United States are mnking, and they see that the day s not far distant when your great republic will absorb all these islands. Thev wish to lay a train that will destroy all such pros- pects ; hence tho mission of Sir Robert ; and is desirable lo the British government that the negroes should obtain Ihe possession, control and government of every island in the West Indies. This, they trust, will re- tard your growth, and these neero covern- - ments be a means of freeing all their colored people in your Southern States. Uncle Sam a Large Landholder.

Ihe recent addition to the family of Queen Victoria has furnished another proof of her desire that the succes sion to tha crown of England shall not fail for want of legal claimants. She is the mo ther of seven children, although in the 32d year of her age, and bids fair to become mo ther to as large a family as her grandmother Charlotte, the Queen of George the Third) who was mother ot lo children. Hut rapidly as Queen Victoria's family has increased, viz: 7 children within ten years and three mouths of her marriage, she is no circum - stance to her grandmother, who married on September 8th, 1761, became the mother of the following children George the Fourth, 12th August, 1762; Duke of Yoik, born Gth August, 1763 ; Duke of Clarence, born 21st August, 1765; Princess Charlotte, born 29th Sept. 1766; Duke of Kent, born 2d November, 1767 ; Princess Augusta, born 8th Nov. 1768 ; Princess Eliza beth, born 22d May, 1770 ; Duke of Cumber land, born 5th June 1771. Eight children within nine years and nine months of her marriage, and being at the birth of the Duke of Cumberland, her eighth child, only 27 years and 17 days old. ' This is an official statement. Return or Cuban Invaders. The Savan nah Georgian of Monday mentions the arri val of seventeen of the "Cuban Patriots" in that city, one of whom was a lieutenant. They left Key West in a fishing smack and arrived at Tampa in a destitute condition. Gen. Twiggs issued ihem rations and gave them quarters. He sent fifty others to New Orleans. The party that came to Savannah, walked from Tampa to Pilatka, which place they reached in six days, but perfectly pen- uyless. A subscription of citizens of Pilatka was raised for them to take passage at a re duce rate to Savannah, where they are now seeking work to enable them (o travel to their homes in Kentucky and; Ohio. Dklawarc Powder. Tbe most extensive powder mills in the world are those on the Brandywine, in Delaware, and the best pow der made is at these mills. They manufac tured last year 2,500,000 pounds, whioh would allowing a ton for a load; make 1250 wagon loads, and require 2500 horses to draw them. These, on the road, wolild make a train seven miles long, and at an average price of i2i cents pur puimd, would amouul lo tho large sum of 5312,500. FROM MEXICO. The N. O.

Burning of the Steamer Griffith Two or Three Hundred Lives Lost. BcrrALO, June 17. The fine steamer Griffith, Capt. Roby, while on its way up the Lake, look fire about 5 o'clock this morning, when about twenty miles below Cleveland and was burn- ed to tho water's edge The mate, who swam ashore from the burning boat for help, has reached Cleveland, and reports that only thirty ot those on board were saved, and these had to swim ashore, there beinc no other vessels near to render assistance Captain Roby, his wife and child, are amongst the lost. It is reported that there were two or three hundred persons on board, most of whom were emigrants on their way to ihe West. If this is a correct estimate, the number of the lost may probably exceed two hundred The scenes on the burning wreck are de scribed as having been agonizing in the ex treme. It is impossible as yet to ascertain the cause of this disaster, or to give uny further particulars. It is the greatest calamity that has occurred on Lake Erie, since the destruc tion by 111 e of the steamer Erie, some years B"'n. S1XOND DESPATCH.

Ort the 10th of May the city of St. Pierre, irt the island of Martinique, wat set on Tire, and it wat discovered that the blacks bad risen against the whites. The firing of tile oily was supposed to be the signal for a gen eral insurrection. About oue hundred houses were destroyed. The city was fired three times before, but the flames had not spread. The negroes surrounded the city, and com milled serious excesses. All Ihe white citi zens capable of bearing arms had been call ed out, and the city was under martial law Many of the insurgents were subdued and taken prisoners. It was expected that they would be shot. Tha Journal of Commerce has the follow ing: Trouble at Point Petre, (Guadaloipe.) We learn from Captain Currier, of tho brig W. J. Watson, from Ponce, (P. R.) that a let ter of May 23d had had been received there from Point Petre, to the following effect : "On the night of May 12lh, the city wat set on fire by the negroe., as a signal for in surrection, previously agreed on. They, however, did not succeed in entering Ihe city, having been deterred by the prompt measures cf the citizens ; but the overseers' houses were burnt to the ground. The city has been fired four different times since, and IS houses burnt. The Governor has placed the city in a state of siege, and we trust that for the present it is safe. No citizen is lo be out niter 9 o'clock. Many persons have been arrested, and will be tried to-day. Several of them will probably be shot. The report of to-day is, that the city will be fired to night. "The Governor Geneial is expected to day wilh troops from Martinique. We have at present about 800 troops, and the militia, (the latter all colored,) under orders. God alono knows what the end will be ; but judg ing the future from Ihe past, it may yet prove a second edition of the St. Domingo tragedy." Ohio Convent io.n. The Ohio State Con veution have resolved that the Legislature shall meet only every two years. They have also determined to fix the Senatorial term at two, instead of four years being the same length as that of the Representatives, and to place the eligibility of Senators and Repre sentatives, as regards age, upon Ihe same footing the age of 25 being adopted. Expatriated Hungarians. A letter from Broosia, Asia Minor, dated May 1st, says. "There are now about two hundred homeless Huncariass wandering about the Streets of p .

Hard fate for such devoted patriotism. Girls in Minnesota. A correspondent of the Minnesota Pioneer, writing from Fort Gaines, says that he had just seen a pile of snakes, forty-five in number, which had been killed by two yonng girls of that place.
