URIOUS STORY.—The Lord Bron, Ameri-
can trading vessel, from New Orleans, laden with cotton
reached this port on Thursday last, fifty four days out.
A;
this was thirteen days later than other vessels which sailed
at the same time, some anxiety was expressed to know
the cause, when the following singular particulars tran-
_lt appears that the Byron kft New Orleans with
spired :
a fair wind, and studding sails set, and had been out at
sea two days, when it was discovtrad that the steward, a
man of colour, had stowed away in a berth below, where
cotton had been deposited, an angelic-looking mulatto
girl about eighteen years of age, thinking to make her his
own in good earnest when she reached the land of liberty.
The captain, thus awkwardly situated, and kona7cat

but to put "ship about ; " and he accordingly did so, and
caused the love-stricken maid, ts ith tears in her eyes for
Sambo, to be re-landed by a brig at the expense of two
sovereigns; and thus had love's fetters been broken, and
the voyage prolonged. What reparation Sambo is to
make we have not heard.—Liverpool ,Journal.

Session, at the instance of the trustee for L',rd liuntly's
creditors, against the Earl of Aboyne, for reduction of the
entail by which the Marquis holds the Aboync estates,

to report to the Inner-house ; but with a long note con-
taining the Lord Ordinary's own cpinion in fe,vour of the

are said to have been of a technical nature. The entail
pandrol.i)its the heirs contracting debts as burdens on the
ls but (Ices not prohibit them from incurring debts

this was which creditors might proceed against the
pleaded (among other things) against
the validity r f Cie entail, as in a question with creditors.
Bat Lord Jeffrey holds that this and the other objections
are insufficient; and from his eminent character as a
Judgo in such questions, the prevalent opinions at the Bar
WV said to Fig apinot the success of the ttustoo this Case,
