The U. S. mail steamship Black Warrior, Capt. J. W. Smith, arrived at her wharf Wednesday evening last, and brings the following late Havana news:

The Black Warrior reports that the Spanish brig-of-war Habanero, with six thousand stand of arms, had sailed from Havana to support the insurrectionists excited by the Spanish authorities against the liberty of the Dominican Republic.

Preparations for the armed invasion of Mexico were being actively made at Havana. The island is said to be perfectly tranquil and quiet.

The sugar crop will be very large. Exchange on London 10 per cent.; on New York 4 per cent. Freights low and inactive.

From a statement published by the Customs department, we learn that the revenue of the island for the first six months of the present year, up to the 1st of July last was $1,486,789 37, being an excess over the corresponding month of the previous year of $135,308 50. The increase came entirely from the export duties, as the revenue from marine customs fell off $24,306 31.

The Diario says that some imported fresh cows were attracting much attention in Havana. The editor of the Diario says that they have an abundance of beautiful wool, and that they give a milk which is destined to be very good, of the same flesh, by those who have tasted it. The animal is from Asia, he thought, and Europe, and it is hoped they will become acclimated in Cuba.

The papers from the interior of the island show great activity in the public mind relative to internal improvements. The Gaceta (official) is to be published in the direction of Santo Espiritu, and a movement is on foot to run another of the same from Trinidad, thus crossing the island. The Cienfuegos road is doing an excellent business.

The Hoja, of Sagua, states that the sugar crop will not be so early out as was anticipated, although the cane is very large and fine, from the backward state of the preparatory labors. In Sagua cleaning has been generally commenced between the 15th of October and the 1st of January.

The Diario de la Marina says that the Dutch ship Maria sailed hence on the twenty of March last bound to Havana, with three hundred and fifty laborers from the Holo islands, provinces of China, which is inhabited by a race of robust agriculturalists. It hopes that this will tend to convince, if the labors of these men are much needed by the fields of Cuba.
