Aside from the fact Presi recog- that it squares with the notions we all hold, de- livable from the Monroe doctrine, that Eurepe should have no share in the gov ernment of American territory, we must Teoegnize Cuba as an independent State, ; o (secure freedom to a brave people, and put an end forever to the bloody butcheries that have made the Spanish name a,synonyrae for cruelty, and ra paeity.' The blood.of the martyrs Is the wed of the church. The blood of Lopez ami Crittenden, of Quesada, Cespedes aodTRyan, cries aloud for vengeance. The people of the two great cities of the Union New Orleans and New York liave expressed themselves to this fleet, and. "the Jeading Journals of every Jjt&te, without regard to party or policy, demand that President Grant shall no longer hes Jtate, and that he must take the ini tiative in what alls thinking-men con cede faj, 'manifest deaUny." Even theoghjjlt cost us war, he must recog nize the Cubans. The seizure of the Virginlus furnishes the casus Mli. We have nothing to fear from any of the powers of Europe, or all of them com bined, Jbr that matter. They will see that anything we do toward the inde pendence of the "ever-faithful isle" is doae frem humanitarian motives, and to pat an end to murder and rapine. The Cuban patriots have fought nobly, they have sustained themselves for eight years against fearful odds. Let us recog' uiae taem as a menuly power, give them arms and men, and when, as in the case8f the'Texans, they have pos- seized themselves of the island, and choose to ask admission to the Union, let us take them and care for them, 7ea to the extent of the last man aad the last dollar in the Union. President Grant has now presented to him agtJWen opportunity to distinguish himself anew; let him seize it, and by a vigorous effort in behalf of poor Cuba, prove to us that the Union is strong enough to help the brave, the fearless lovers of "liberty who have sealed their devotion to Cuba with their lives. We must recognize Cuba. rKBW IORK. 3 lailrtre in the Tea Trade The Tweed Case Methodist Missions The Society Bask. The..rinancil.i Situation ImproTing The Cnien Trnst Company The Health Association, Etc. Xbw York, November 12 Failures in the tea trade yesterday are attributed rather to competition whieh is trrowintr up ie the west, than to the panic. The great western markets, it is said, are receiving their teas mainly by the way of San Francisco, and many smaller firms here have been wound up owing to this withdrawal of trade. The de creasing trade is mentioned as the cause of one of the heaviest importing firms advertising two vessels of their fleet for saie. THE TWEED CASE. When the first juror was called on the jiew paaei in ine Tweed case, to-uav. -counsel for the defense objected to the irregular manner in which it was drawn. After a long argument, the court decided that the panel was regu lar, and the work of getting the twelfth juror proceeded. METHODIST MISSIONS.

Tue treasurer's report shows that the re ceipts or tne past, year were 5767,133, and the expenditures $725,169. Tbe treasury in ew York is in debt to the amount of $20,000, while the treasurer in CtneinnaU has on hand $62,000. FINANCIAL, SITUATION IMPROVING. Tbe financial situation continues to improve, and the money market has fairly settled down to seven per cent. with nothing doicg above that rate, and some trouble found iu many quarters in placing money at this rate, particularly when borrowers offer United States bonds as collateral. Tbe banks made another gain of twelve hundred thou sand dollars of legal-tenders to-day. making a total now held by the asso ciated banks of twenty-six million two Hundred thousand dollars.

SECRETARY FISH OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF THE BUTCHERY. Washington. Xnvomhpr 12. snre- tary .Fish to-day received a telegram from the consul-ceneral at Havana. stating that the Havana papers publish a statement, apparently from an official source, that the captain of the Vireiuius. thirty-six of her crew, and sixteen oth ers were shot on the seventh and eighth instants at Santiago de Cuba. The sec retary immediately proceeded to the ex ecutive mansion and showed the tele gram to the President, and soon there after telegraphed to the consul-general to verify the statement. The excit -ment against the Cuban authorities, which had somewhat lessened, has been revived by to-day's startling announce ment. The news formed a subject of earnest comment iu official and diplo matic circles. It has heretofore been stated that the Castellar government pe remptorily demanded a stay of proceed ings, but it seems the order bits been disregarded, thus strengthening the re mark of tbe minister of foreign affairs concerning the impracticability of deal ing with the Cuban authorities. MOVEMENTS OF THE NAVY. Philadelphia, November 12. Or ders have been received at the navy yard here to fit out the monitor Man hattan for sea, by Friday next A large force of workmen have been employed. It is understood otber monitors at League Island are to be made ready lor sea at one. GETTING BEADY FOB ACTION. New York, November 12. Orders have been received at the Brooklyn navy-yard to get the ships-of-war Ker sage and Juniata, ready for sea at once. At noon to-day, under equally pressing orders, the torpedo-boat, Admiral Por ter, was launched, and is to be made ready for active operations in a few days. All the officers about the yard are greatly excited over tbe news from Havana. The pr.ncipal discussion to day at places where merchants congre gate, was tbe slaughter of the captain and crew of the steamer Virginius, and the feeling of indignation was universal. Not a voice was raised in defense of tbe act, all asserting that the killing of the crew was unjustifiable, and demanded prompt action on the part of the United States government THE EVENING POST SAYS, EDITORIALLY, "The report from Cuba which we. j)uh. lish this morning, In its very brevity, makes the blood run cold. Are we liv ing la times of Albal? Have these butchers no feir of the indigna tion of the civilized world? Or do they mean to provoke us so that we shall have no alternative but to topple their infamous and impotent provincial government into the sea, and tako pos session in the name of outraged human ity and justice? If the feeling of our cit izens was raised to fever-heat by tbe exe cution of the four leadere.it will now rise to boiling pitch, and Cuba and her friends will hereafter need neitbei money nor men." THE FRIENDS OF CUBA. A party, composed principally of Cu bans, who are devoted to the revoluttoue ary cause in Cuba, held a private meet ing this afternoon, at their rooms ill Ex change place. It was supposed that the association would take some action re garding the Virgluius's massacre, but h was ascertained, after the meeting ad jourued, that they did not inteud doing so. The Cubans regard the matter a purely an American queMion, as the Virginius sailed from an English port, and was legally eleared by an American consul. They consider, however, thai it was a peaceable expedition, and could not, in any way, be called an armed one. THE NAVAL SQUADRONS TO BE REIN FORCED. "Washington, November 12. Tbe Mabopac and the Manhattan, ordered to be pet in commission, and to which officers are already assigned, will join the North Atlantic squadron. The ves sels of the navy have been so much re duced in number that it has been found somewhat difficult to promptly reinforce our squadrons In cases of emergmey, but in the course of a few days all that can be made available will be sent, to the Cuban waters, in accordance with tbe determination of the cabinet meet ing yesterday.

The Voce de Cuba fo-day says editorially that It is as Humane as anyuouy, and more so than many who make an ostentatious profession of philanthropy, but it canno do less than approve of the energy tlis kplayed toward all rebels, and partlcu- arly toward tnose wnom uie-mutmster- riir Btp.impr Virolnius broupht to mnb f more bloody war in uuna. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The court-martial for the trial of those captured on the virginius is still in ses sion, working with all possible dispatch. Amongst the crew, and disguised as firemen,, were Ignacio, Alfaro, Boaa, Arce, .Varona, Castillanos, Prieda,Mola, Boitel and other persons of importance. Captain Joseph Fry was manifestly aware of tne object or tne expedition and the nature of the cargo which be was tempted to take charge of. by a large sum of money offered, thinking tnat mere were ninety-nine cnanccs in one hundred, of his landinjr in safety. It is thought that this will be the final effort of the insurrectionists. The cap tain and crew were shot by a squad of marines in the public snuare. Twelve of the insurgents were shot in front of the slaughter-house wall, yesterday morning, at half-past eleven o'clocE. ANOTHER ATTACK. JMauseaueilo was attached rrom every direction by the insurgents in consider able force. The fighting lasted until three o'clock in the evening, when the rebels were driven off.

On the seventh instant the captain and thirty-six of the crew of the steamer Virginius were executed atSan tiago de Cuba, and on the next day twelve mare of the Cuban volunteers on the ves-el were shot Among the latter was Franchi Alfaro. BT 31 AIL. From the New Orleans Times, 10tU. There was a large turnout at the meet ing of patriots and their svmnathizere. held yesterday at noon, in Masonic hall, oa St. Peter street, near St Claude. The meeting was primarily called for tbe expression of appropriate sentiments touching the summary execution of the Cuban patriots captured on the ill-fated virginius, at sanjago cieuuta, out in much tnat was said and done, it toon a much wider range. The meeting was a mixed one of white and colored citizens; there was, how ever, a large preponderance of whites. Besides General Rafuel Quesada, Dr. Hava, and. other men representative of the cause of Cuban independence, there were also present, paticipating in the meeting, and occupying seats on tbe platform, Senator IV B. S. Pinchback, Mr. "W. M. Burwell, Colonel James Lewis, administrator of improvements; Hon. I. M. G. Parker, surveyor of cus toms; Senator Allain, of Baton Kouge; B. F. Joubert, late United States asses sor; General James Longstreet, Becorder ataes, William li. Jbrown, btate super intendent of education. The platform was also occupied by a numberof ladles. THE ORGANIZATION. At the proper time the meeting was called to order by General Bapbael Que sada, who presided over the proceedings. Tne general, before taking his seat, an nounced the presence of General Long street, and proposed that he be invited to take a seat as the vice-president of the meeting. This suggestion was re ceived with boisterous applause and adopted nern. con. With this organization the meeting was ready for business, and the first to engage attention was COLONEL JAMES LEWIS, one of the administrators of ourc'ty government, who moved the appoint ment of a committee of' fifteen to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting on tbe subject, to consider which the meeting had been called. The motion was adopted, and the chair named the committee as follows: Colonel James Lewis, chairman; James Longstreet, Dr. Zargaa, W. M. Curwell, Dr. Hava, P. B. S. Pinchback, J. Baez, William G. Brown, L. Turla, B. F. Joubert, S. M. Lapeyre, J. M. G. Par ker, J. Agala, L. Cabal ero. REMARKS OF GENERAL QUESADA. During the absence of the committee General B. Quesada addressed the meet ing in a short but stirring speech, which bad the effect to awaken much feeling. He said: Friends and fellow-citizens, the cause of Cuba, which is the cause of justice and freedom, will conquer against the mean tyrants that oppress us. Al though lately we have received a blow, and have lost some of our best brothers, we are not dismayed. The war has its ehances. To-day the enemy has ob tained a triumph; to-morrow we will achieve a victory. Let tho Spanish wolf be fed with the blood of our friends and brethren, still Cuba,wbich is to day his feeding place, will to-morrow be bis burying place. Applause. Let tho orphans and widows weep; let tht cross be put on every grave, while we say. forward! forward! "With a heart broken for the loss we have sustained, I have wished to assemble you here to say, that for every misfortune we may have, there is a bright ray of hope in my heart. With tbeso convictions, I am bound to face all kinds of danger. I am resolved to carry another expedition to our dear Cuba. I only hope that every one, of you will help mo todo this. Cubans, forward! and let us say, hurrah for freedom! hurrah for Cuban independ ence! loud and long cheering. MATERIAL AID. The excitement in the hall at the con couclusion of this address was great, and as soon as quiet was restored, Mr. Strampes took the floor and proposed that all who so heartily indorsed and applauded tbe sentiments of General Quesada should at once contribute to raise a fund to aid tbe cause of Cuba, in dependence. This called to tho floor the popular and eloquent Mendoza. He launched directly into tbe hearts, and we might add also 'be pockets, or tbe people. The time for .tiog. he said, has pass ed, and our iow should be to offer men and mont ) General Quesa da for the purpose v another expedi tion to Cubala a THE OIWV TO FHKBDOM.

There was a tteneral rush from all sides of the house to tho desk of tho secretary, each contributing according to his will and ability. One. lady came with her diamond ring, and another laid down the oilering of her Jeweled ear-rings. And nnaiiy it was announc ed that the clgor-ma&ers, of whom there were a large number In attend ance, in an impromptu meeting had re solved to contribute two days' wages to rreeuom's cause. THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTER, These scenes of excitement were broueht to a close by the announcement of tho committee. Colonel James Lewis said tho report had been prepared both iu Spanish and tngusn; tnat the iing- Ush report would be read by Professor urown and the otner by JJr. nava which was accordingly done, as fol lows: "Whereas, This meeting has learned with profound sorrow and indignation that the Spanish authorities in the island of Cuba have put to sudden and summary execution certain unarmed passensrers captured from the Virginius, claiming to be an American vessel en gaged In a commerce protested by the law of nations: Whereas. It could appear from the shameful precipitancy into which this act ot barbarism nas oeen perpetrated that the Spanish authorities do not deem themselves bound by tho law of nations, nor of humanity; therefore, Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the government of the United States should define and enforce her re lations with Spain by the following measures: First By demanding an ample apol ogy for any disrespect to the American flag involved in the capture aforesaid, with atonement and reparation for any outrage on the rights or person or prop erty protected by the American flag. Second By recognizing at once the belligerent rights of the Cuban patriots, that thev may be at least entitled to the rights ot civilized warfare, and humani ty no longer shocKei) by assassinations protected by the pretense of law. Third In view of this vindictive vio lence of the colonial euthorities acting under the sanction of the Spanish gov ernment, the government of the United States should request the government of Spain to disavow this Modoc warfare, and pledge herself anew to observe and abide by in future the rules of public wariare as applied to civil war. Jiesolved, That in the event the Span ish government shall decline to give such guarantees, she will have forfeited all rights to recognition by the civilized powers of the world; the time will have arrived when the United States, as tbe representative of republican civilization, should gravely consider whether she should not terminate all treaty relations with a power which will have thus proved herself cruel, perfidious, and a dishonor to the circle of republican em pires Into which sue will be tnus proven to have shamefully intruded. Tne resolutions bore tne signature 01 each member of tbe committee, and were received with a perfect storm of approbation. SPEECH OF MB. PINCHBACK. Loud calls brought Mr. Pinchback to his feet. He said he came to the meet ing because he saw by the call that every lover of liberty was invited; he Had intended to prepare an elaborate ad dress on the Cuban question, but at this time he could only assure them that his warmest sympathies are with Cuba in her struKKle for liberty: there were, he said, seven hundred thousand people of tils own race in Cuba wno were neid in bondage, and for that reason the caus of Cuban independence had found a response on the American continent; for that reason more than any other, his heart was enlisted in favor of that cause. He hoped soon to occupy a place where his utterances would do more good than if uttered here. If, said be, I get my scat in the senate of tbe United States, every utterance snail be to rree Cuba. xrenienuous applause. 1 uui no would not be content with simply freeing Cuba. He wanted more than that He would not disguise the fact that be still belonged to that proscribed race, anil nothing but the flag of the Union over Cuba would satisiy mm. Cheers.j Cuba we must have, peaceably anu bloodlessly if we may, but forcibly if we must. GENERAL LONGSTREET. Great anxiety was manifested to hear General Longstreet. but his non-ap pearance with tho committtee when the resolutions were reported had not been observed. The calls for him were answered by Colonel Lewis, who ex plained that the general was suffering from neuralgia, and had retired. The colonel himself was next importuned for a talk, but was contented with saying tnat ne maoreeu, witn all nis neart, what had been said by Mr. Pinchback. 'SPEECH OF MB. BUBWELL. This gentleman said ho appeared in the character of an original southern man. The present condition of Cuba, he thought, was the legitimate result of the doctrines taught by the people of the south. As an original southern man he desired to see tho people accept the situ ation, forgettingeverything that IB past, seeking unity, and doing nothing calcu lated to stop the wheels of progress. It was oy no means certain that tho prop er development of this country bin Red on tbe struggle of the Cuban patriots, and that their success alone would assure the future of the south. It was his wish that the great principles of re publican liberty might be carried to every spot where God has made ground tor man to stand upon. REMARICS OF SUPERINTENDENT BROWN. He regarded the present large and en thusiastic meetinc as a cheerful sign. and said he believed the government of the United States would take cogni zance of (the outrage done to the prison ers taken off the Viririnius. He said the sympathies of every colored man in the united fatates weie enlisted in behalf of Cuba, aud he had no doubt but that the government ought and would intervene. REMARKS OF DR. HAVA. This gentleman is the present agent 1 tbe republic of Cuba in this city, and his remarks were listened to with pro found attcntiou. He said he felt great satisfaction in being able to address the moetlng. Iu the name of the republic of Cuba be thanked the citizens of the United States who had participated in the meeting and given their assistance. They have well presented the principles involved in our struggle, and done our cause justice. We Cubans are here the recipients of their hospitality, and I have no words to express tbe gratitude we feel toward them. But we are In tha midst of a great sor row; we havo lost one who was first to embark in the cause of the revolution General Varona. It seems that his voice rings now in this hall, for here you heard him not long ago. Ho is . re, aud bis spirit, his love of freedom .oves me to speak. He, who would never sign a sentence of death even of his bitterest foe, has himself become the victim of Spanish ferocity. General R. Quesada bos told you many times that tbe Spaniards in Cuba are the ene mies of humanity. They have stupified the wbolo world with their crimes, and now to-day amongst themselves, in their own country, they destroy each other like wild beasts. Their history is every where the same the dagger, blood, vengance! Ah! fellow-citizens, they may cruelly murder hand-cuffed patri ots, but tbey cannot tear out the pages of history which record them as the shame of the world, the abnegation of all progress, justice and every noble aud generous quality. THE COLLECTIONS. The money collected at this meeting amounted to $7795, besides large sums which were promised. Many ladies who were present gave up their jewelry to be sold to aid General Quesada'a pro posed expedition. Mr. Lapeyre was appointed treasurer to receive those donations, and a resolu tion was adopted declaring the confi dence of tbe Cubans in General Que sada.
