We received jrotterda, per brig Adams Gray, from our attentive Havana correa fonclent, some inleresting detail of an af- fftir of late occurrence in Cuba, wnicn, m atrocity, unnatural brutality, and complica ted tragedy, nearly equals tii horrible stol ry of the Borgias. Condensed from the documents seat us by our correspondent, the facts of the case are as follows ; In the district of the Pina del Kio, there resided, some time ago, a wealthy planter, whose christian name was Don Jose. This man, or rather brute in human form, "had been for some time living criminally with his own daughter, to the knowledge of his wife and mother, who, however, was afraid to excite the brutal vengeance of the mon ster, by denouncing and exposing his crime. But us :he daughter began to bloom into womanhood, the sense of shame and deg radation beginning to operate uygn her mind, she determined to resist the approach es of the unnnturul parent. She threaten- ed to proclaim his infamy, and denounce him before the tribunals, if he perished iu his atrocities. Shortly after this the poor girl was found in bor bed cruelly murdered. 1 he lather was arrested, tried, found guilty, ana uentuiiceil to be executed by me gnr rote, a kind of guillotine, which extincuieh ee life by meuas of a sharp wire, which ia made by a certain ipring to penetrate the spine of the victim, as he sit in a chair or stocks. To execute this sentence, the pub lic functionary, as he is styled in legal par lance, or in plain language, the execution er, was sent from Havana. Now, aa this individual is held in great horror by the people, who has lately been threatened with a vitiation from him, on account of their aspirations for liberty, it was deemed pru dent to lodge the executioner in a secure place. He was therefore provided with quarters in the district prison, in tho same upanmcnt with several felons, who were apprehensive of becoming better acquainted with him. In the morning, Jack Ketch was found dangling by the neck, from a rope attached to the gratings of the pnson. His fellow inmates of the prison did not appreciate his company, and had thus rid themselves of it A Ci At miia nniAnAr ttAn'Atr. a 1 1 a v .1 that the executioner had been aeizod with rwiuuitr,-mmrtiiBguaieu Wllu DIB prolegllOd, had resolved to retire from it by suicide. But this story did not impose upon the in telligent Governor of the district, who went to worK, in tne old style of the inquisition. to ascertain the truth by the application of torture to we prisoners. In the process of ins ingenious devices for tbe elucidalion of the mystery, one of ibe most murderous looking of the accused was tied up so tigotiy, trai Dy me maresi accident in the world, he was quite unable to give the de sired infonnation, although when taken down, he bowed his head affirmatively. -He was dead ! The Captain General has sent down mi especial officer to ascertain the fafeta in this complicated tiagedy. Our correspondent suggests that he should follow the example of the District Governor, aird hang a few individuals connected with thU rkidjiflnli. cation of tbe torture. --r There being no applicant for the office of Executioner, the abandoned murderer of his own child, was taken out and shot by a file of soldiers. These are the simple facts of this affair, which are sufficiently tragical without the episodical additions of tho horror-loving Spaniards of Havana. They are sufficient to illustrate the benighted state of moral ana 01 tne administration 01 lustice in this unhappy and oppressed island. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The following extracts are from a letter written by udpe McLeaj, of the U. 8 Supremo Court, on accepting the Presiden cy of the American Sunday School Union. When we consider these schools as the nurseries of society, we cannot too highly appreciate them. The children are taken as tender plants eTery noxious branch is cutoff, and the ground is so prepared as to impart the utmost vigor and healthful- ness. Under such care the fruit must be good. The mind and heart of a child may be as certainly for good works by moral training, as tbe plant may be improved by careful culture. "Who can estimate tbe influence on society ot five millions of children thus educated. And it may not be an extrava gant calculation to suppose that, every ten years, five millions of persons who bad been Sabbath school scholars enter into active society. More or less, tbey may be sup posed to be influenced by the principles inculcated at those schools. Restrained themselves by moral considerations, their example at; have some influence on an equal number of their associates. Here, then, is an element of power which must be salutary on our social and political re lations. The good thos done, cannot be fully known and appreciated, aa the amount of evil which it prertnu cannot be measurd.N 4l nay be assumed aa aar axiom, that free aren.....i c4 u.i u. . than moral1 cswef. 1 1 v r r Further on, e s -? w are.res- after ,ust fyt a XaltUal ilscU:mxU trust Nor, v musf con::9.ilf buLI upon the foundatioo of oqr (jt'--at. .They were equal to -ifca 'cruts4,Aas)yDgto't, and Hancock," and AdAmsand their, cc patriotf, were good men'aawill A,"grat tten.

There i enough of fc teliigence and virtue, and of honest pw pose in the nation, if embod.eff and putdi active, to free us from the prevailing cor ruptions of the day. And 'there no agency more efficient to trenftfteithie state of the publie mind, than ouf Sabbath schoola Tbey are tbe nttrsem of virtaTf of an elevated patriotism and of religion. 1 do not speak of a narrow or eectahan principle, which admits of no merit of vir tue out of its own system ; but of a princi ple which is as expansive, as benevolent; and as glorious as the doctrine! of the Sa viour." . i . . , , In conclusion, be writes, with as much eloquence as truth, as follows: ,,t4 k " If we desire to make our nation truly creat, and to transmit to oosteritT our in stituuons in their primitive simplicity and 1 force, we must imbue tbe minds of our J jouth with a pore and an elevated moralk tr,wnicn shall influence their whole nrti j auu a aviiuw vt nv mean to well cniCUMl ted to produce thia result, at Sabbath schools. Whether we look to the good of -our country, or to a future immortality, these schools are recommended byf con siderations of the deepest importance. A NORT.R ACT. 4 Among the many examples pf praise' worthy conduct which the late terrible) conflagration developed, one instance of daring inrepidity and successful effort by a young man deserves particular mention. In the third story of a wooden building on Front street, Mr. George Miller was ly ing dangerously sick, attended by bis wife! and daughter. After the former, had been removed, u was ascenaineanav wis nau ler was yet in the building, the roof and 4' sides of which were enveloped in flames, a. id her life imminently exposed. At this juncture a young roan, about eighteen years old, Mr. Mortimer Barnes, rushed up the staircase, and succeeded ra reach in? her room. - . ' " In endeavoring to rescue her she reso lu'elv refused iQo wiUxhun, being some what bewildered and under the impression that her mother was yet in the building) whom she declared she would not leave. While fruitlessly expostulating wifJi her tbe flames had reached the staircase and! egress was barred up ; but young Barnes nothing daunted, finding that she would not accompany him, gallantly seizad 'arkf bore her down stairs through the flame. and placed her in the care of her friends.' In this daring and heroic exploit be) was bably burnt, as was akothe young lad; but her life. was saved, and he, at theim minent hazard of his own life, was her preserver, i oung uames is now confined to his room, and, though suffering greatly from the effects of the fire, is in a fair way ef recovery. The joxmg lady has also suf fered greatly, but is now doing welL Bach instances of devoted heroism are rare in- J, J -- - .iIIVI- VaTgV AMWaSS7k- " ' 1 . -"'.'? ltm.-',' It is stated in a recently published nometv ical system of the universe, which is to su persede that of La l"lace, tr.afthe squirm of the number of a primary planet's days in its year, is as the cube of the diameter of its sphere of attraction in the nebular hy pothesis." We have not the slightest doubt of il 1 Can any think be more simple t Melascholv. A gentleman who, a few weeks ago, visited Gravots, a small town some ten miles south-west of 8l Louis, found there no less than twenty-five infant boys and girls whose parents had died of the cholera. Tbey were all gathered into tbe dwelling of a benevolent gentleman, named Sappington, by whom they were gerously cared for. Thirteen Italian priests have escaped from the prisons of tbe Inqiikkioa of Rome They were confined for political offences merely. Brieks, made of gtass are now used in :be construction of buildings, for tbe purpo ses of introducing' light, without lessening the strength of the walls.
