AMERICAN STEAM-BOAT TOUTLNO.

The following sketch appeared in the Albany
Reyaster only the day before the catastrophe which hap
petted to the Henry Clay. The Reindeer has since blown
up with great loss of life.
There are lively times among the runners of the opposi-
tion day boats, early thew tine mornings. People who

node Toss is Raplased; or, a Prot, Mot Black's WAla.
An Echo to the Anastasia Unsle Tom." Moulatoa
sad Stoneman.
The author states with some ingenuousness that he
hoe "in some respects connected his plot with the
work of Mrs. Stowe," and further that "several of
the characters named in Mrs. Stowe 's work will be
found also named in this." He adds that "there
were two interesting personages mentioned in
Mrs. Stowe's work, namely, Susan, and Emmeline,
her daughter. They are sold into slavery to separate
masters. After Emmeline's escape with Casey, Mrs.
Stowe dismisses her with a few words, in which she
is stated to have become the wife of the mato of a
vessel. The author of " Uncle Tom in England"
" could not help feeling that something more was
needed, from the interest centered in her character,
than that she should be matte, qff' in this way,
leaving her mother in bondage. Having the story
of a prototype before him. the author could not resist
the temptation to repudiate two lines of Mrs. Stowa's
book, and to make Emmeline the instrument of her
mother's emancipation."
How far—on the face of his own facts—the writer
may be considered to be making an unjust attempt
to share the popularity of the last popular novelist—
will be a matter for the public to determine. For
the rest, he has written something more than 200
pages of more or less exciting incident, of a nature
calculated at the present moment to satisfy some of
the appetites of those whom Mrs. Stowe may
have left, like (Elver Twist, "asking for more." The
author apologises for errors, on the ground that the
work was a labour of love--a3complished in seven
days. For a labour of love this is rather careless
treatment, to say the least of it. Most continuations
and imitations are failures, and it is pr3bable this
book will afford no great exception to tho rule.

A NEGRO CONFESSOR.
(prom the PittoknyeA Journal.)
In the many criticisms on Mrs. Stowe.' great
work, no objection is so common as that of exaggeration or
overdrawing in thefinalet of Uncle Tom's death. All who
read the newspapers agree that whippings to death do occur,
but ad will not, or cannot, believe that any one, for con-
science sake, has died by the lash here, in this glorious
nineteenth century. Those "'Jiggers " who aro whipped
to death are desperate characters—persons who have worn
out the patience of overseers and masters by crime and
laziness.

in the summer of 13.39 we were in Louisville, Ken-
tucky. As no great change has ever taken place in our
opinion on this slavery question, we were at some lois then

he tali an anecdote as something coming within the range

The muter, proud of ponatekis a rare specimen. boasted
that he had one out rid wham the religion could not be
whipped. A bet wee laid, sad the martyr summoned.
