TIME NOIffiTIHL CAM THE EXPEDITION AGAINST CUBA. From the deposition of Francisco Alex andre Laine, a Cuban who landed with Lopez, and who afterwards surrendered to the authorities, -we gather the following narrative of the expedition. The deposi tion is published at length in an extra of the Havana 44 Prensa" of the 1st instant: They left the mouth of the Mississippi with 480 men, with the intention of going first to Rio Lan Juan, where they expected to find a like number of artillerymen, and thence to some point in the Central De partment. But having touched at Key West for provisions, intelligence was given to Lopez that Pinar del Rio, and nearly all Vuelta Abajo, (the couutry situated to the leeward of Havana,) had risen. This intelligence caused I opez to change his direction, and to steer for a landing in Vuelto Abajo. On the 1 1th August, at 11 o'clock at night, they landed on the beach at Morrillo, without any other opposition than a few shots fired by some countrymen who fled. The beach was deserted and the store abandoned and open. Colonel Crittenden and about two hundred men remained here to take care of some spare muskets and provisions : the remainder of the expedition with Lopez marched to Los Pozas, meeting only a few country men, who fled at their sight. That on their arrival at Los Pozas, they found the village abandoned, and in spite of their entreaties the villagers refused to return. On the next day they were attacked by the Queen's troops, who retired after some time leaving Lopez in possession of the village. In this action the invaders lost General Pragay, one Colonel, Captain Oberto, and about fifty men killed or wounded. The discouragement which had taken possession of them oTi discover ing that they did not meet with sympathy in the country, increased so much when they found themselves attacked by the troops, whose co-operation they had ex pected, that Lopez determined to make for the mountains, with the intention of going to Pinar del Rio; but by mistake or treachery of the guils they went to the Frias coffee estate, where they had another encounter with the troops ; that the invad ers lost four or live men in this encounter, so that what with this loss, and that of the men left on the march, the force at Frias was 220 men, including about 12-or 14 wounded. From thence they went to Brijo, slept at Union and arrived at Mar tilorena or Condelaria on the 21st in num ber about 200 men. That while they were cooking their breakfast, they were sur prised, attacked and dispersed by the Queen's troops. That about a hundred men, fpnethird without arms) made for the mountains ; they remained in the woods four days without eating any thing else than a horse, which they had brought with them, and a little coi n and wild plants. On leaving the woods, Laine sur rendered to. the authorities and received quarters. Lopez, according to the deposi tion of Laine, had received nearly all his means from Mr Sigur, who paid $75,050 for the Pampero steamer; that sum pis tols and cannon were bought at a Govern ment sale f that a merchant of. New Or leans furnished the cartridge loxes, knap--eack3-auUxdiitceiis,iipon an order Irom Lopez ; that the agents e United States were Sigur, Cacnins and Company; that these were ne sole movers of the ex pedition. J-aine added that Lopez could not rece"'e money in the island without the section of the Committee in New Yrk, because he did not agree with Be- tancourt and Aguero as to the mode of forming the expedition. Lopez's body was taken down and private ly buried. " The special reporter of the New York Courier, who went out to Havana, says that Lopez addressed the people in a loud voice, and that he was suflering at the time from the wound or two received in his last skirnUh with the Spaniards. GEN. LOPEZ FAMILY, EXECUTION, &c. The New -York Sun, in the course of its Cuba accounts, gives some interesting facts in connection with the family of Lo pez. His brother-in-law, the Count of Pogosdulcess, a nobleman of great wealth and high character; Madame Frias, widow of a nobleman of great wealth, his sister- in-law. and other near relatives. rpiiinnr in Havana, left that city just previous to the execution. L.opez was 55 years of age. He leaves a son 18 years of age, studying in Switzerland His wife is in Parish He was very wealthy, but spent his income as fast as he received it. In this and the previous unfortunate expeditions, (says the Sun's accounts,) he lost very large sums. Of the execution the Sun has the Lopez, with his hands tightly bound together, in front, stepped forward", and in a strong, clear voice, slowly spoke to those around as follows: 'I pray the persons who have compromis ed me to pardon me as I pardon them. My death will not change the desti nies of Cuba."fThe executioner, standing & little behind, here interrupted him in an insulting tone, with Come, be quick, be quick."J General Lopez, turning his head partly around, fixed his eyes on the man, and said, sternly, gritting his teeih, What, sir.' He then continued: "jJdieu, my beloved Cuba! .Qdicxt, n il brethren!" The General then stepped back, seated himself on the stool. A priest with the cracihx and taper stood on one side of him, the executioner on the other.

THE LATE GENERAL. LOPEZ. The following brief sketch of this un doubtedly brave, sincere, but deluded and mistaken man, will be read with interest at this time : jSarcisco Lopez, who has lost his life ignominiousl v at Havana, was born of wealthy parents in Venezuela, in 1799. He was the only s"n of his parents that grew to manhood, though he had a number oi sisters. His father had a commercial house in .Caracas, a branch of which at Valencia, in the interior, was placed un der the charge of Narcisco at an early age. During the troubles of 1814, young Lopez sided wjth the popular party, but afterwards enlisted in the Spanish army, when fortune turned in his favor, and at the end of the civil war he was made a Colonel when only twenty-three years of age. I After the Spanish army evacuated Venezuela, Lopez went to Cuba, where he remained and established himself in life, soon making himself conspicuous by his advocacy of liberal principles Dur ing the first Carlist troubles he chanced to be in Madrid on private business. Hav ing joined the royalist party he was made aid-de-camp to the cammander-in chief, Gen. Valdez, and received several milita- . - t. .i . - i ry decorations. lie was nonoreu wmi several important offices by the Queen, and finallv was made Govei nor of Madrid. Afterwards, as Senator from Seville, he is said to have made the condition of Cuba his especial study, and the expulsion of the Cuban deputies from the Cortes induc ed him to resign his office and return to the Island. There he held several posts under the Captain General Valdez. Finally he undertook the re-working of an abandoned copper mine in the Central Department, where he is said to have em ployed his time in instilling liberal princi ples into the minds of the populace. In 1849, when he thought everything was ripe for a revolution, be came to the United Stales and got up the immature and worse than useless attempt at an in vasion, known as the Round Island Ex pedition. In May, 1850, the famous in vasion and sudden evacuation of Cardenas took place. In August, 1851, he again landed in Cuba, a Uahia Honda. His followers were speedily destroyed or captured, and oe himself, a fugitive among the mountains, was taken on the 2rh of August. On the 1st of September, 1851, he suffered the ignominious death of the Garo'te, at Havana These are the prin cipal events of a life, remarkable for its inconsistences. Lonez's integrity as a patriot has been often questioned, but we are not disposed to discuss it now. He is said to have died bravely, and we are willing to refer his errors rather to his head than his heart. - i--w-r f oen. Ltopez's sons are students in Xavier College, Cincinnati. THE GARROTE. There is some little curiosity abroad, relative to the instrument ot death known as :he garrote. It is of Spanish origin and its use is, probably, confined to Spanish countries. The following dt-scription from the Lowell Courier, we are assured is correct in every particular : The mode of execution by the garrote. is in this, wise : The criminal is seated in a chair, the back of which rests against a post firmly set into the floor or the ground. His hands are bound to the chair, and the back of his head, with his neck bare, is placetl against the posu to which, at a proper distance, is at tached a circular piece of iron, or more properly, a collar, an inch or two in diameter, and sufficiently large in circum ference to clasp the neck. The collar one end being fastened to the post is then fitted close to the neck of the victim, while the other end, containing a screw, is brought to the opposite point of the post Being here adjusted, the screw is turned, and eacii turn of the scrcw com presses the collar more tightly, till the criminal is strangled. Nor is this all. In the centre of the collar, and directly under the chin of the victim, there is a sharp steel point or blade, which penetrates thro' the neck with every turn of the screw. We believe, however, that i his last feature in the garrote the sharpened point is not in every case used, and that, generally, the body, after death, leaves no mark or trace whatever of blood. There is this peculiarity in the operation of the garrote that death by it is almost instan taneous quicker and more sudden than by the gullotine. even the hangsman's rope, or the soldier's rifle while it is divested of the bloody or ignominious accompani ments in executions by the last three imple ments of death. Tub II u X GARIANS AND M R CoilCORAN. We had yesterday the pleasure of a visit from the gentlemen composing the com mittee of those brave and gallant people who have had the good fortune to reach our shores, and are now in New York to the number of 128. Under the direction of Kossuth, they are making their way to the settlement of Gen. Ujhazy, in Iowa ; but their funds were exhausted when they reached Nev York. Under these circum stances the committee for their relief have wiled Washington, and we understand that our distinguished banker ( Mr Cor coran; Was no sooner ma(ie acquainted with their ants than he generously sup plied them out of his own funds. Such liberality ana msanimi,T are creditable to our individual as well as national char acter, and entitle Mr Corcoran to the thanks of the couutry. Union. From the Washington Union. CHINA. Our readers are referred to the following most interesting letter from one of our officers at Canton uuder date of June 20: My dear sir: You cannot imagine , the depth of interest here, in this oldest of the old empires, with which we hailthe in coming of every month's mail, eagerly searching for the current intelligence from our own country the newest of the new. This interest is, of course, confined to our selves; for the Chinese (four hundred mil lions of themj are asleep morally, social ly and nnliticallv asleep. With the most productive and most delightful region of the globe with those simple and patri- archal habits and manners which form the j .act nnssihlp substratum on which the ' principles of self government may granu lateso absolute is the monarchy under which they enjoy this slumbering lethargy that their condition is scarcely equal cer tainly not superior to that of the Russian It is said that Great Britain has great designs upon this country-that she intends to drug its people with opium until they shall sleep so soundly that she may march a few hundred red coats and Seboys from Hong-Kong to Canton, and even to Pekin, withimpunity. If we may judge from English conveVsation in China, the tide certainly sets in that direction. But new light is breaking in upon them from the East. When, during the pen dency of the proposition to annex Texas to the Union some ten years ago, General Jackson, in a conversation at the Hermit-a"-e, alluded to the western destiny of our country and its institutions, he said that in less than half a century their influence would be felt across the Pacific into China, if, indeed, they should not throw that an cient monarchy into convulsions. If this was not sound prophecy, it was very much like it. Within the last two or three years a brisk trade has opened between China and California, with vessels stopping ei ther way at the Sandwich Islands. The newspaper editors of California, Polyne sia, and China carry on their editorial sparring, even as the journalists of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Indeed, these have become, with us, the papers of local interest. When we look towards home, we look through California and Oregon, not through British India to the East, and not to the West. When the line of steamers between China and California shall be established, we may expect that American merchants in great numbers will establish themselves at the five open ports from Shanghai to Canton, and at the Portuguese of Macao. Our ad venturers and enterprising Yankees with capital will seek and find fortunes here, while thousands of Chinese laborers will visit California to search for the precious metals. And it will be found in this case, as in all similar cases, that transportation and travel never fail to increase with the increase of their facilities. How long then, may it be ere a few thousand Californians may be se n landing i at Shanghagi, and marching a few miles back into the richest tea and silk regions of the empire? The practicability of the exploit in the event of a war with China is unquestionable. It is not so much fur ther across the ocean than from New York to Vera Cruz. The passage has been made by sailing vessels in some thirty three days. Give one year's notice of a British and Yankee foot race for the impe rial city of Pekin the former starting fiom British India and the latter from San Francisco at the same tre -and who doubts that the odds on tim ; would be in favor of the latter? It is clearly evident that as California opens her mines of wealth we are becoming more and more formidable to the English as commercial rivals in China, and the shadows of coining events tell us that the Old Chief" was right in his predictions. The papers by this month's mail an nounce that T. A. R. Nelson, esq., of Ten nessee, is coming round to take the place of Mr Davis, our late Commissioner here. If he secures a standing in China so good as that of his predecessor, it will be sig nally fortunate for the government as well as himself. The United States ships Saratoga and Ma rion are now in and about these waters, and the steam frigate Susquehanna, bear ing the pennant of Commodore Aulick, is expected to join them in the course of the summer. The officers of the Saratoga gave a grand ball on board at Hong-Kong a week or two ago, said to be one of the must brilliant allairs of the kind that has ever come off here.

A wri. ter in one of the New-York religious pa pers is comparing the census returns in regard to the prevalence of insanity, be tween the whites and the blacks, and the relative proportion. The facts adduced show that insanity is greatest among the free blacks. In the State of Maine every fourteenth colored person is an idiot or a lunatic. And though there is a gradual improvement in the condition of the color ed race, as we proceed west and south, vet it is evident that the free States are the principal abodes of idiocy and lunacy among them. In Ohio there are just ten colored persons who are idiots or lunatics, where there is one in Kentucky- And in Louisiana, where a large majority of the population is colored, and four-fifths of them are slaves, there is b it one of these unfortunates to 9,309 who are sane. The proportions in other States according to the census ot 1840, are as follows: In Massachusetts I in 43; Connecticut 1 in 185; New-York 1 in 257; Pennsylvania 1 in 256; Maryland 1 in 74; Virginia 1 in 1,309; North Carolina 1 in 215; South Carolina 1 in 2,440; Ohio 1 in 105; Ken tucky 1 in 1,053. This is certainly a very curious calculation, and indicates that diseases of the brain are far more rear among the slaves than among the free of the colored races. You know that I'm a greate fellor for mosevin about in strange places, an that. like Noey's dove, 1 can't find a spot of dry ground wharontorest the heel of my boots.
