dedtik• was stemming to windward, • beigenthe,
of beige mpg* in the dare trade, was met off =ley,
=ffwiesi., running to leeward, which shortly afterwards
at Whydeb, a noted slave depot, at which place
her illiderstre ship Spitfire likewise anchored. For three
days tbe suspected vessel remained there, pretending to Ma-
ar ge pleat and char cargo. On Sunday forenoon, Sep-
tember Sikh, the weather being thick and equally, the
brigantine left Whydeb, and ran to leeward. Desiring not
to lose sight of her the Spitfire steamed in the same dire*.
(cot that afternoon, and Lieutenant Chemins, having mon,
Mined that sbe waa ant anchored at Jackie to which place
the brigantine wee mid to have been bound, proceeded in
diase, and came op with her working off the land, on a wind,
at 10 p.m. No satisfactory answer being returned when
baled, she was boarded, end proved to be the suspected vessel.
The boarding Alive* returned apparently satisfied with the
mesh, end with the account given by the person representing
hissed as the master of the vowel. Notwithstanding all
Yule, doubt as to her honesty remained in Lieutenant Chap-
men's mind, and there being almost a mho, be decided on
seserning back to Jerkin to learn ems* particulars of her
having been ell that place, which is a noted slave station.
Having areertaieed early text morning that a Tema had
shipped slaves there the previous afternoon, he proceeded
again in chase of the brigantine, and Mlle up with her at
10 a.m. September 26th. Lieutenant Chapman bearded in
pews, and tot being satisfied with the answers given by
die person supposed to be the muter of the vessel, who said
that be had no papers, directed the bamboo to be opened.
whams timed immediately the frantic cries of stifling
bushy& of welched human beings, who were huddled to-
gether in beeps, naked, regardless of se: or rage. At the
MUM time two or three of the slaver's crew leaped out of the
hold, naked to the wale, and begrimed with the blood of the
wretched blacks, whom they cruelly lashed into keeping
Plano', looking In every respect perfect denim& The flag
that she unwarrantably had laid claim to was hauled (loam by
one of her own crew, sad the British run up, amidst the hearty
cheers and joyful chants of the rescued Atacama The vessel
was found to contain 600 slaves, and was taken in towto Why-
dab, sod despatched next day to Sierra Leone, with the
slaves all healthy, for adjudication in the Prise Court at that
plies.
Tan Contra TRAFFIC.—Tbe following is an
exteset from the " China Overland Trade Regret" of Oct.
12:—. The coolie slave trade is now almost restricted to
kebab, the government of which settlement fatter and
pro-
tset it he the most barefaced meow. It has bent statd on
pad authority that orders have bete resolved from Paris not
I. allow any mom French meals to embark ie this business.
No lase than eighteen (there and on the way) are said to have
bees equipped from France, fur the purpose of taking coolies
to the Weot Indira. Thus the carrying portion of the traffic
hes fallen .:elusively to the lot of the United States
flag, whose console grant leave not only in davits of the
*totem of their ex-minister, but also in the face of the
Ilerwrshoe conveyed in the moot public manner to the Shanghai
authorities, on the occasion of the last outbreak, that the
trade was nniewlel for any eitlese of the United States to
embark in. One American ehip galled from Macao a few
days ago with no lees than 8.50 unfortunate beings, and Wee
or fear more are waiting their turn,' acting In the mese►

Thom giants were boarded, lodged, and edrioated until
Vim owe YY®, when they were mut out into the world,
for which they were woederluily well prepared. He made
two extraordinary disoovezies—Brat, that this magic castle
had cost 20,0001.. and that the money had all been paid by
voluntary subscriptiona ; and secondly, that he had not
souglat bit fortune in vain, for in this castle he discovered
the materials for his speech. (Lood Mews.) Now this fairy
moth wee their own home, and was known to them all as the
Commercial Travellers' School.. More solid in brick and
stone then the fencing creation of the fairy tale, the commer-
del travellers in endowing that school were raised in their
own opiates and in the intonation of their fellow men.
(Hear, hear.) To this castle all who heard him could
squire right and title by the payment oh single guinea in
each year • and it would be amply endowed if every gentleman
"on the lad" would give half a crown on an appointed day
in every year. (Hear, hear.) He wished to God that the
members of his own order would follow the maniple of the
commercial travellers' and, being united, do an equal amount
of good. Mr. Dickens, in conclusion, reminded the company
that they could not hid to recognise among the children as
they pared the likenesses of many "old familiar faces." He
hoped it would be an Wasted case when a commercial travel-
ler did not belong to this society, and help these poor children
as if they were Ida own. With a warm compliment to the
beard of management and the head muter, be gave them
Prosperity to the Commercial Travellers' Schoole."
The tom having been acknowledged with enthusiamn, the
children were intruded, and were much dinned for their
healthy and reepootable appearance. They sang with much
team and proclaim several part amp.
The Row. Mr. Ilmtsw, la a humorous speech, replete
with quotatiose from the Pickwick literature, proposed the
health of the eltainnem. . .

Mr. Thrums briefly returned thanks, sad gave the health
of Mr. (ho. Moore, to whom this iestitution was more
indebted than to any other human Whig. (Loud cheers.)
He proposed his health also became Mr. Moore wee the
benevolent commercial gloat who bad accompanied him in
his visit to the fairy castle. He (Mr. Dichen.) would not be
the Jack to kill such a giant.
Mr. Moons observed that the commercial travellers
hed obtained • European reputation for the /election of
good chairmen. They had had ouch men as Dallier Lytton,
Thtickersy, and Dickens, and now Mr. Dickens again. The
custom wed a good one, and be hoped it would continue.
However, he would not attempt to rival the eloquent speeches
they had just heard, but would goes a different tack, and
tell them what they were doing. Mr. Moore proceeded to
detail to. progress of the school daring the fourteen years it
had misted, and regretted the loss of Mr. Coney and
other benefactor, who had unhappily passed away. He did
not think that the travellers rapported their school as they
ought, for they should remember that but for it the children
of many of their friends might now he either in workhouses
or reformatories. (Hear, hear.) Until they had 2,500
commercial travellers subscribisg to their ♦choole, the body
would not have performed its duty. The blame lay chiefly
with those small•heartd men who, having refined to eub-
•lrthe, became in their families the greatest burthen to the
institution. The building, be awe say, had, instead of
20,000 L, oast 25,0001.; It was all paid for, without mortgage—
and there wee no debt. Their funded property mooootod to
12,0001., and the Income of last year was 4,764/. Theexpenditure
wee nearly 5,0001. • year, leaving a small deficit, for which
they confidently looked to the company. If the body sub-
scribed ea they ought to do the school could accommodate •
cconderable increase in the number of children. The edu-
cation given in the school wait worth 9001., and he pet It to
the company whether it was not their duty to cotes for-
ward with their aid, and so sated the benefits of the Write-
ties. After some further obeervotioas of the same character.
Mr. Moore ooncladed by returning thanks for the Meet.
Several other toasts was given, and the subecripdoes
ennonmed amounted to upwards of 1,000/. The musical
smagenisio we entrusted to Mr. J. L. Hatton.

I swear mom decidedly that I maw gave her soy sat. If

undyed at Mammas front Frankfort. As we were walking

was the matter, and she rid, " Tole man ha frightened

(Laughter.) She was arming my dremeing-ome, ead the
mad, I venoms asked her in Germ's, • language she did

to the hotel she said her illnate had been caned by the shook
she remind from that ace. She told the doctor the seam
thing. I have • latter to my mother, shatiag the same thing.
Mr. Metcalfe—Produce the letter.

Mr. Metoakte—They are more dimmest then you ore.
Witmer—Mom certainly, or I never ohoold have nuevied
Mee. Rooky. (Leopater.) I don't elfish it likely that this
ugly man could have ticked Mrs. Rowley. The lesson why
I salad Mts. Rowley not to keys the carriage wsa that she
hid • habit, whin getting out of the earrisga, of showing her
kp up to As garter. (Laughter.) I have -etiy ra
be do It. I was paseionately I might say Moti.- ly,in
bunwith my late wile all this thus, sad It wee to prevent •
repetition of this habit that I salted her not to leave the am-
'lege. I never wired Mrs. Rowley Ey the throat in my Ills.
We quarrelled very frequently. Bbe mod to cell me • kat.,

Mr. Melealte—Did you ever use the little word "liar f"

made not the slightest resistance, when I bad the scissors in

enoe—(laughter)—l mean wig, for some time. She mid she
only wanted false teeth to make her quite the thing. I
offered to indulge her in that particular. (Laughter.) When

7/lltnans—l don't lotuk I used that word, bat If I did so

I'll stick to it. I never took up a meat choppee to bar. I
don't think there was such a thing in the house. I recollect
.onus leeches being put on my hand, but I don't wetly re-
member the cause. I don't recollect that it was on that oc-
sedan that I took op a knife and made a match in my throat.
Mr. Metcalfe—Did your mother come ehortly after that

Wateem—l don't know that my wife sant for her. Lay

ford, when she yews. was surprised at my slob and worn-
oat appeal:sacs, end she Paid, Lor, my dear boy, bow ill
you look." Bhe said nothing about a madhouse. Up to
to-day I have never bees guilty of any ill-treatment to the
lady. I track, kicked, or threw anything at her, or
pulled her out of bed—that I swear most diatinotly. I
west to kloulogne in the latter end of March, and left In
June. _ _

kir. Metcalfe here read a letter addressed to Mrs. Rowley,
asking foreivenms for unkind and brutal treatment.

Witness—Yes. The brutal treatment mentioned there
we.s, that I told Mrs. Rowley's maid to put strings into the
bottoms of her drawers in order to tie there round her

which men were continually going about. I pregame that,
and the cutting off of her hair end throwing op her kegs be-
