LBTTCIl FROM HAVANA.
The Affair of the Crtsctnt City. We have
received from a reliable louree in Havana,
the following account of the transaction in
connection with the late visit of the Cresoent
City to Havana: (
"Mr. William Smith, supercargo of the
steamer Crescent City, had caused to be pub
lished in the New York papers, an exaggera
ted and false statement, respecting the se
verity of the Spanish Government in Cuba.
This statement accused Gen Canedo of the
cruelly of having loaded young Cuban ladies
with fetters and chains to their feet. This
published falsehood, which was not denied
by Mr. Smith, induced Gen. Canedo, to di
rect his Secretary to write to Mr Drake, one
of the owners or agents of the steamer, to
inform him, that the Crescent City would not
be allowed to enter the harbor of Havana, if
Smith was on board, as he considered him'
to be an enemy of Cuba, acting with those
who had designs upon the Government.
On the 3d of this month the Crescent City
was signaled, but the Captain disregarded
the signal, and entered the port, alleging as
an excuse for violating the laws, that he
could not stop his machinery. Col. Lima
forwarded tho order to leave the harbor, as
soon as he discovered that Mr. Smith was on
board. Copt. Porter presented a closed let
ter for Gen. Canedo, who refused to receive
it, unless it came through the proper hands,
tho American Consul. The Consul could not
be found, nor the principal Agent of Mr.
Drake. Capt. Porter then presented a pre
pared protest, which shows that he was
aware of the difficulty his rashness would
occasion. The order for leaving, was again
repeated, and the Crescent departed, carry
ing ofl passengers, mails, &o. These are the
facts of the case, and the affair will be view
ed dilferently, according to the several feel
ings by which individuals will be actuated.
We must judge of it with impartiality.
Mr. Smith, by refusing to deny the publi
cation attributed to him, gave ample reason
for tho suspicion that he was the real author
of it, and therefore incurred the responsibility
involved. As he showed, in that publica
tion, hostility to the Spanish Government,
and acted the part of a spy, in favor of those
who have designs upon the Government, it is
not strange that General Canedo refused him
permission to enter territory against the law
ful authority of which he endeavored to play
the mischief-maker. Ilis right to do so is
unquestionable. A diplomatic agent, evert,
may bo sent out of a country by the Govern
ment, if his acts are such as to show that he
is inimical to that Government. Capt. Por
ter cannot plead ignorance of the intention
of the Captain General, after the warning
given, and his own previously prepared pro
test, shows that he expected the treatment
which he received, and of which he has lit
tie reason to complain. He, and the Compa
ny for whom he acts, are clearly liable to
the passengers for damages occasioned by
their detention in the harbor, and inability to
land at Havana. This attempt to brave the
legitimate authority of a fiiendly Govern
ment, is positively disgraceful, and has in
volved the passengers in expenses and trou
ble, for which the ship should be held liablo.
We can see no outrage upon the American
flag in this act, as none was intended. The
affair is simply a personal transaction, which
does not involve the United Slates at all. It
is an attempt, on one side, to preserve the
dignity of the Spanish Government, and the
safety of the loyal citizens of Cuba, ogainsl
tho rashness and disrespect of the officers
and owners of the steamer, and the machina
tions of designing enemies of the Spanish
Government, with whom these officers and
owneis appear, by their unjustifiable con
duct, to sympathise. That no insult to the
American flag was intended, and no unneces
sary restrictions imposed upon Americans
trading to the port, is evident in the fact that
the steamer Empire City, commanded by a
prudent and gentlemanly officer, who knows
his duty, and respects territorial rights, was
received, on the 19th of September, with
every mark of regard.
Horrible Suicide by a Woman. Mrs.
Passage, wife of Thomas Passage, of this
city, put an end to bar life on Wednesday
lust, at East Bush. Her husband went to
Illinois laat spring, when she with her two
children, eleven and seven years of age, re
spectfully took up their abode at Captain
Jeffrey's, in Rush, where they have since
lived. Mrs. P. had frequently, of late exhi
bited feelings of despondency, and a Jew
days ago made an attempt to drown herself
in the Honeoye creek. One of her remarks
was, that she had an internal disease prey
ing upon her intestines. At 8 A. M., on the
day abovj mentioned, she lushed from the
bed room into the kitchen, to the horror of
the family, with her throat dreadfully cut
by a razor, and instantly ran back again,
burying herself in the clothes of her bed
Doctors Smith and Galentine, were in at
tendance immediately. While they were
attempting to dress her throat, her resistance
and struggle revealed the fact that she had
also cut her abdomen in a horrible manner,
so that the intestines protruded, when ail
hope of saving her life was abandoned.
She very soon expired Rochester Advertiser)

Serious Collision on Lake Erie. Buffa
lo, Oct 8. The report that the accident to
the steamer Ocean, on Saturday, arose from
the breaking of her shaft was incorrect she
was run into by the schooner Mansfield.
The steamer discovered the schooner bear
ing down upon her when about 4 miles from
the locality of the "Atlantic" tragedy ; Her
kelm was immediately put a port till she
turned nearly around, when the schooner ran
into the forward part of her wheel. ILd
she struck a few feet fore or aft of this the
Ocean would have gone down with a large
load of passengers. The schooner had all
sail set, and cut through into the kitchen,
leaving her figurehead sticking in the steam
er. Much indignation is expressed here,
and an investigation it demanded by our
citizens.

NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
The War iteamers Powhatan and Missis
sippi are at New York, ready for sea. The
lormer has a crew of 800, anJ is commanded
by Capt. Mervine.
The Mississippi, it it expected, will leave
N.York on or about the 20th inst. for Annap
olis, where she will remain until the Prince
ton, now fitting to accompany her on the Ja
pan expedition, is ready. It is expected
that they will sail for Japan soon after the
first of November.
The Missisippi takes out a variety of arti
cles as presents to the Emperor of Japan to
conciliate him, astonish the natives, and pre
pare the way for the desired negotiation. A
locomotive and a quantity of rail road iron
will be taken along, with which to show
him the operation of a rail road. Tele
graphic apparatus and wire will also be ta
ken, with which to demonstrate how the
lightnings have been converted to the use of
civilization. Two of the ship's engineers
(Messrs. E. D. Robie, and G. VV. Alexander,)
are learning the use of the apparatus, in ol
der to explain it to the Emperor. An appa
patus for taking daguerreotypes will also be
used and explained, for the information of
his Majesty, by LieHt. Btidd. A beautiful
barge is on board, to be presented to him ;
also, boxes of domestic goods, comprising a
great variety of manufactured articles, which
are to give the Emperor un idea of the in
dustrial puisuits of this country, and perhaps
awaken a desire on his part for an exchange
of commodities between Japan and the U.
States. The Mississippi will lake ten boats
for her use. There are four beautiful brass
nine-pounders, mounted on carriages, which
are to bo used, if necessary, by parties of
engineers engaged in surveying. They can
be fitted in the bows of boats which may
be employed in exploring the coast. Should
this expedition cttcceed in its undertaking,
and establish commercial relations between
the U. Slates and that extensive and seclu
ded nation, it will richly repay the tisk and
expenditure incurred.
The Journal of Commerce says the sloop.
of-war Marion was on Thursday ordered to
be fitted out fur sea with all possible des
patch. The sloop-of-war Vincennee and
brig Purpoise have been fitted out for the
survey of the China Seas, under Commander
Cadwalader. The razee fii"ale Macedonian
is to form one of the Japan expedition.

BISHOP DO AN K'S CAR E.
The Court of Bishops, assembled at Bur
lington, in case of the presentment against
Bishop Doane, has at length concluded its
labors by the adoption of the following or
ders :
Whereas, previous to the making of the
presentment now . before this Court, the
Convention of New Jersey had investigated
most of the matters contained therein, and
had determined that there was no ground
for presentment : therefore, .
Ordered, That as to the matters thus noted
upon by said Convention, this Court ii not
called upon to proceed further.
Whereas, the Diocese of New Jersey
stands pledged to investigate any charges
against its Bishop that may be presented from
any responsible source: and whereas, a
Special Convention has been called, shortly
to meet, in reference to the new matters
continued in the presentment now before
this Court : theiefore.
Ordered, Thit this Court, relying upon
said pledge, do not now proceed to any fur
ther action in the premises.
The orders, by which, it will be perceived,
the right and action of the Diocese of New
Jersey are fully recognized, are understood
to have been passed with the dissent of only
six members of the Court, viz : Bishops
Hopkins, Smith, Lee, Johns, Eastburn, and
Potter. They are understood to have re
gaided the Court as precluded, by the limi
tation of the canon, from taking into consid
eration the action of the Docese.
Subsequently to the passage of these or
ders, the Presrnlina Bishop atte npted to sub
stitute for the presentment thus laid aside, as
acted on by the Diocese, a former present.
merit which they had themselves made, (sub
stantially in the same terms.) and withheld.
This attempt was rejected by the Cotut; no
member dissenting. The proceedings of the
Court are to be published, for sale. The ad
journment was, of course, sine die.
