THE SLAVE TRADE.

We republish from the New York Courirr and Em/uirer an article untlertlie caption "'l'he Afric- an Slave 'l'r:ulc in New York,” detailing particu- lars of the tl(5'IlI‘ntion of the S(‘l|t)OlI0r Fzilnzoutli, of llaltiinore, charged with being ﬁtted out as a slaver.

The London Illorriing Herald ofthe l3lh ad- drcsscs a leading article to the United States Minis- l~9"i |'05P0C|full_v calling his attention to an occur- fem‘-0 deeply Illccting the honor and reputation of the Government and people ofthe United States - The £”""‘“"W¢ II. Ill!!! a powerful organization ll?" lit”! l.0'lII<'—-l In l\ew York and Boston, waiti- in: neither int-tinsnnr men, neither shipping nor Cllillﬁl. to revive the African Slave Trade.—Ttmt the first "venturc” has alreidy been made hr the parties implicated in a crime which the Govern- mrnt of the Republic is bound by treaty to sup- press» and not permit the most detestable of uutranos ttiltllllﬁl liuirianity to be revived under the flag of the Union.

Mr. Buchaniian. at the time of the publication ofthe article about to leave Eu;_v|and oti his return to the United Mates, is requested "to act prnriiptlv in it matter so serious, and,liaving read the suh_joiri- ed statenient, to convey it to the Cabinet at Wash- inutoti-”

It appears that the ﬁrst intelligence on the subject was received by the lilditor ot the Herald from the correspondent of that journal writing from Rio de Jam-iro. Inforiiiaiion subsequently received tlirouyli other channels enables the Lou- ‘l"" J°‘“'"3llSl In -~d<l considerably to his statement.

it scents that an American schooner called the Mary I». Smith attempted to land acargo of320 negroes she had brought from the coast of Afria, but was taken by |llL' Brazilian brig-schooner of war Ulinda, and takeii into Baliia.——'l'he commander and crew are all Americans, and were immed.ately allot’ landing ironed and locked up in the goal of

shirt. The schooner embarked 500 of the poor blacks from the covst, but they were so closel packed on board, totally naked, and so badly fed during the voyage, that I80 died, and were thrown overboard, and ofthose landed at Bahia 64 died a few hours afterwards. The survivors were im- int-diately fed and clothed.

Even as thus narrated, tlis account is remarkable and so far as llrazil is concerned. satisfactory; Int’, ...u will susbeqiientlyappum, no blame attaches to the IllllIl)rlllt's of that Power. On the comra- ry,“whilc our (‘l'll2Sel’S (we quote from the Herald) were lying in the harbor ‘of Rio disputinu and qutarreling Wllll ati United States ship-of-war, their cttllsvrl were on the alert to capture and did capture the Uuiteil sings Slayer.

With this unhappy cargo she made the best of her way for the coast of Brazil ; and here we have at once evidence of the confed- crates’ want of correspondents or agents in Brazil. for instead sf making direct fora well-arranged spot on which to debark safely the Africans, she had to skirt the Brazilian coast uncertain where to land the Africans she had on board, until her supplies began to fall short. At length, however, she tried to do so at lpanerim, a small and obscure port in the Espiritu Santa. The absence of any strong police there gave no facility to the attempt to run the human cargo on shore, for the inhabit- ants, we see by the Brazilian journals, rose as one man, organized themselves in support of the llw, and exhibited so strong a determination to resist by force the landing, that the Mary E. Smith was obliged to put out again to sea, despite llsr serious distress for water and and provisions. She neat attempted the port of Saint Matthew, in the adjoining province. She entered it osten- sibly to refresh. The authorities there had, however, received previsus advice of the suspected slaver, and on her entrance began -to collect force

taken their precautionary measures, and so well were they informed, that they had fniiiislied the coininamlers ofall their ciuziers with a correct sketch ofthe Mary la". Snmli. On ap,.rn-aching her, the eoiiiinziiider of tlietllinda, Lieutenant Lou- reiro. was able iminedizitely to recognise the object of his search; he therefore hailed her, striking the Brazilian llag and petition, and the Mary E. Smith answered, by lioisting the stripes and stars ofthe American Union, and stating that she came front Monte Video. An oflicer from the Olinda was at once sent on board, and slaves being found, the Mary E. Smith was captured, and on the 29th oflanuary was brought for con- demnation into the port of Bahia, to the goal of which, her United States, masters and crew were furtliwith consigned. ' he moitality of the voy- age had, it appears, been dreadful, for of the 500 Africans taken on board at Ainbriz, 384 only landed at Bziliia, and in so deplorable a condition that ‘J4 of them «lied in ii few hours.

In prisoii,the United States’ master has we see it stated, itialc iiiiportzint disclosures relating tti this dreadful organizaliuii in the Uiiitetl States to revive the Slave Trade, and the whole vise will, it is only reasonable to prt-sumo. he foilliwitli brought by the llrazilirin Govcrninent under the coi‘ideration of the Wzisliingioii (.‘;iliiiit:t.

BARNUM.—-Last week, Mr. P. T. Bar- num, late proprietor of the New York Museum, was examined at the instance of Messrs. Cusliing, Dennis, and others, holding judgments against him, in the Su-

rcme Court of New York. Mr. Barnum stated, in the course of his examination, that in June last he was worth over and above all his liabilities $500,000, but at the present time, his whole worldly posses- sions consisted of it gold watch, a diamond ﬁnger ring and breastpin, twenty-ﬁve dol- lars in mono , and two suits of clothes. He further stated, that he had rented is furnished house in Eighth street, New York; kept boarders, and was supplied with meat and vegetables by his son~in-law. He had friends, who would not let him starve for one year, at any rate, and who, upon it pinch, would raise a few dollars for

Pants Fuci. Siiors.—'I‘he fuel required to cook a dinner in Paris costs nearly as much as the dinner itself. Fuel is very scarce, and the American is surprised to find shops all over the city, ﬁtted up with shelves like those in shoe stores, upon which is stored wood, split up in pieces about the size of a man's ﬁnger, and done up in bundles, as matches were in the days of the tinder-box, steel, and ﬂint; they are about the size of a. bunch of asparagus. These little bundles sell at from two to six

sous. Larger sticks are bundled up in the same way, and sell at frightful rices. Charcoal is sold by the weight, an hard coal being nearly as ex etiaive as wood, can be bought in the smallest quantity at any of these fuel shops.

RAILROAD Mori'rai.i'rr.—According ' to the last returns, the proportion of persons killed to the number of passengers convey- ed by railway was one in 5, , , a the proportion of persons injured to the number of passengers conveye was one-in 460,000 fhe number of deaths, at least, is so inﬁnitesimal, that the superior safety of the railroad must be now generally admitted.
