SLAVERY IN BR ‘ZIL

Previous to my arrival in Brazil, I had been led to
believe, from the reports that had been published in Eng-
land, that the condition of the slave in that country vva-
the most wretched that could be conceived; and the ac
counts which I heard when I landed—from individuals
whom I now find to have been little informed on the
point—tended to confirm that belief. A few years' resi
dence in the country, during which I saw more than ha,
fallen to the lot of most Europeans, has led me to alter
very materially those early impressions. lam no advo-
cate for the continuance of slavery; on the contrary, I
should rejoice to see it swept off from the face of the earth :
but I will never listen to those who represent the Bra-
zilian slaveholder to be a cruel monster. My experience
among them has been very great, and but very few wan-
ton acts of cruelty have come under my own observation.
The very temperament of the Brazilian is adverse to it,
general occurrence. They are of a slow and indolent
habit, which causes much to be overlooked in a slave
that by people of a more active and ardent disposition
would be severely punished. Europeans, who have this
latter peculiarity more strongly inherent in them, are
known to be not only the hardest of taskmasters, but the
most severe punishers of the faults of their slaves. * *
On most of the plantations the slaves are well attended to,
and appear to be very happy; indeed, it is a characteris-
tic of the negro, resulting no doubt from his careless
disposition, that he very soon gets reconciled to his con-
dition. I have conversed with slaves in all parts of the
country, and have met with but very few who expressed
any regret at having been taken from their own country,
or a desire to return to it. On some of the large estates
at which I have resided for short periods, the number of
slaves often amounted to three or four hundred; and but
for my previous knowledge of their being such, I coub;
never have found out from my own observations that they
were slaves. I saw a set of contented and well-condi-
tioned labourers turning out from their little huts, often
surrounded by a small garden, and proceeding to their
respective daily occupations; from which they returned
in the evening, but not broken and bent down with the
severity of their tasks. The condition of the domestic
slave is perhaps even better than that of the others; hi,
labour is but light, and he is certainly better fed and
clothed. I have almost universally found the Brazilian
ladies kind both to their male and female domestic slaves;
this is particularly the case when the latter have acted
as nurses. On estates where there has been no medical
altendant, I have often found the lady of the proprietor
atttending to the sick in the hospital herself.—Gardner's
Travels in Brazil.

SLAVE AUCTION SCENE IN
AMERICA.

In the winters of 1840 and 1841, having business in
Western Virginia, where this peculiar institution
flourishes in its mildest form (be it remembered I was
at this time opposed to anti-slavery principles), Dec.
28th, I found myself at Martinsburg. the county seat of
Berkley. About ten o'clock of the aforesaid day, I ob-
served a crowd congregated in the public square, in fron'
of a superior-looking building, which had very much the
appearance of a gaol, as it proved to be. On inquiring
of my landlord the cause of the meeting, he said it was
" a hiring"— in other words, a negro sale, as I after
wards found that a number were hired for life. I
walked down to the market, and to obtain a better view.
I mounted a large waggon in the street, directly opposite
to the stand of the auctioneer, who had commenced hi,
work. He was a large man, dressed in aristocratic
style, with a profusion of ruffles, gold finger-
rings, watch-seals, and last, and not least, a largo whip,
called by drivers a „loaded whip." The hiring I un-
derstood to be of a number of slaves of a certain
estate, who were hired out from year to year to the
highest bidder, for the benefit of the heirs. These sales
take place between Christmas and new year—the holi-
days—quite a recreation for the slaves who are to change
masters. After a number had been disposed of in this
way, the crier announced that he would offer for sale
six slaves. He then put up two, father and son. The
old man was near sixty years of age, a cripple ; the
son was about twenty-three, a perfect specimen of man.
There were present two Georgia soul-drivers, who bid
eight hundred dollars for both. When the crier re-
marked it was a small bid for both, the Georgian re-
plied, he would give eight hundred without the old
man, as he was of no account. The young man gave
the bidder a look that would have shamed the devil ;
the old man wept bitterly. The son sold on the
bid ; and the father was sold for sixty dollars to an
old farmer, who had never kept a slave in his
life. Thus father and son were separated. The next
was that of a girl fifteen years of age. (These slaves had
been hired out to different individuals the past year.)
She was brought crying upon the stand. With an oath,
he bid her stop her "blubbering," and then proceeded
with the sale She was sold for one hundred
and fifty. The next case was that of a young white
woman, sixteen years old, with a young child. I say
white woman, because the auctioneer said she was only
one-eighth black, and I have seen many of the fail girls
of Ohio who could not boast of as fair complexion, or as
good figure or features. She came upon the stand
with her infant in her arms, in the deepest
misery. A gentleman who had taken his seat
beside me, observing that I was much inte-
rested, remarked, he thought I was a stranger in
that country. I answered that I was. " These things
look odd to you." " Theydo. Said he, "you see that

A SHOWER or WHITE FLuas.—On Sunday, thef
6th ult., a most singular fact attracted the observation
of some of the inhabitants of the eastern road settle-
ments. About three o'clock P.m., a shower of small
white flies came drifting along, borne along on a gentle
breeze from the north wt st. For upwards of an hour
and a half they continued to float onward in a south-
wardly direction past a certain point, where an indivi-
dual had the curiosity to watch the extraordinary flight.
So that if they travelled only at the slow rate of four
miles per hour, they must have reached a distance of six
miles in a lineal direction. How far they extended in
width, the writer had no means of judging; but as far
as the eye cuulil reach, the afm,s.pherc! presented
pearanee similar to what it does during a violent snow
squ!,ll. litt/U; Post.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Signor Philip Cioffi appeared to answer a complaint
preferred against him by his wife, of neglecting to
maintain her and his daughter, whereby they became
chargeable to the Strand Union authorities.
Mr. Boxwood, the relieving officer, having handed to
the court a printed order, signed by Mr. Cooper, an
overseer of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, said that, in
obedience to it, he waited on the complainant, who was '
lodging at 5, Tavistock-street, her husband residing at
No. 40, in the same street, and from her repretentation
it appeared she had come from America with her
daughter, to rill situations in Covent-garden Theatre,
where her husband was to he engaged in the orchestra,
he having resigned the place he had filled at her Majesty's
Theatre. Having ascertained that the def, ndant was
living with another woman, he waited on him to hear
what reasons he could advance for allowing his wife to
become chargeable : he refused to give any until the
case was brought before the court.
The complainant being sworn, said that having eloped
with the defendant from her father's house in New
York, she was married to him on the 4th of October,
1846, as appeared by the certificate produced. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. Henry Chase in
private, as she feared her father would prevent her
marrying, she being a member of the Church of Eng-
land. The only form observed was, that they mutually
promised to become partners for life, and there were a
few prayers read, but there was no ring, as on similar
occasions. The defendant, she believed, was a Catholic,
but he adhered to no religion in particular, and they had
lived together for several years, except when he was
obliged to absent himself on theatrical business. She in
consequence of ill-health, and through the mediation of
Mr. Felton, who lodged in the same house, ()Veined
parish relief from the Strand Union.
The defendant denied that his wife was compelled to
seek for parish relief, as she had sufficient money in her
possession, arising from the sale of his property in Ame-
rica, in addition to which he sent her 201. about six
months back.

Mr. HALL put several questions to the complainant,
and from her answers it appeared that she had disposed
of two lots of ground, which, however, were of very little
value ; and also a slave, for whom she had got 505
dollars, from which 35 were deducted, and she had
paid 75 dollars for medical assistance, together with
12 dollars for medicine, for all of which she could pro-
luce receipts ; and on her arrival in England, on
Saturday week, she had 100 dollars, part of which she
expended in the purchase of clothing for herself and her
:laughter, and the reason why she had applied to the
parish was, that she anticipated her husband, at whose
repeated solicitations she had come to the country, would
support her.
Mr. HALL said that the ease was not ripe for magis-
terial interference, and he would suggest that she should
arrange her differences in a quiet and satisfactory man-
ner with her husband.

The complainant said that she would prefer return-
ing to America, where she could support herself by
teaching music, to accepting of any engagement in Lon-
ion, as her husband had deceived her in many ways
for years. _ .

Mr. HALL said he maid express no other opinion upon
the matter, and the parties left the Court.

MANSION HOUSE.

CHARGE OP MALICIOUSLY SHOOTING AT A PERSON.—
Pat, ick Power, a man who has been several years in the
employment of Messrs. Eyre and Moses, of Crown-
court, Philpot lane, merchants, was charged, under the
Ist Vict., cap. 85, sec. 4, with having unlawfully and
,naliciously shot at William Nowlan.
The prosecutor, a porter in the service of Messrs.
Teed and Bishop, stated that the prisoner's employers
occupied the upper part of the premises owned by that
firm; that between eight and nine o'clock on the morning
of Wednesday last he had a dispute with the prisoner
sbout a water-pipe which carried off the water from the
upper premises to a blind well in the cellar belonging to
%lessrs. Eyre and Moses; that the prisoner d—d his eyes
tbout the water-pipe, and afterwards rushed out of the
.ellar, and retiring about three yards, deliberately fired
at him with a pistol, saying, " that's the way to strike
terror into you;" that he heard something pass his ear,
and that he fell down, supposing that he was shot, in
which supposition however he was mistaken, as he sus-
tained no injury. The witness further stated that he
believed the prisoner to be a very desperate character.
In his cross-examination, the witness could not exactly
:ay why he called the prisoner a desperate character.
The wadding of the pistol was, he stated, found, but no
bullet was found.

Mr. Sidney (the prisoner's solicitor)—ls it not noto-
rious that the men who work with you do all they can to
/lake a butt and a ridicule of the prisoner? The prose.
tutor—Not to my knowledge.
George Bull, in the employment of Messrs. Eyro and
Moses, heard some words between the prisoner and the
prosecutor, and saw the prosecutor double his fists and
put himself in a fighting attitude, at which the prisoner
'napped his fingers, and said he did not care that for the
prosecutor, and a few moments afterwards witness saw
the prisoner go down into the cellar, return speedily,
tnd fire off a pistol in the direction in which the prose-
tutor was standing, saying " Take that."
Thomas Holbeck stated that be bought the pistol for

•he prisoner above a year ago at Mr. Field's, on Tower-
nill, and was told by him that he wanted it to protect a
a warehouse of his employer.
William Gill (City policeman 538) was sent for on
Wednesday, in consequence of the pistol having been
fired. He saw the prisoner, who said he was coming to
look for him, told him the pistol was in the cellar, and
that he had fired it, but that there was nothing in it but
powder and paper.
I)avid Hutson (City policeman 58) went to the pre•
raises, and saw the last witness, who said to him, " This
inan (the prisoner) has shot at some one;" and the pri-
.oner said, "The pistol is down below; I am not afraid,
L will show where it is;" and the prisoner pointed out
,here it lay behind some barrels. In the warehouse
NUS found a piece of paper, which smelt very strongly of
gunpowder, but no mark of a bullet was seen about the
premises.
The prisoner made a very roundabout statement,
which plainly indicated that he had been harshly treated
by some of the men employed in the adjoining premises,
of whom the prosecutor was one. That they had d—d
him for a spiteful wretch, asked him why he did not go
hack to his own country, and otherwise insult( d him,
ind that the conduct of the prosecutor was particularly
'aggravating. " I had," said the prisone:, "to go up
and down, and each time to pass Nowlan as he stood at
the door threatening me, and I had a pktcl with powder
and paper merely in my side-pocket, and I snapped it at
his breast merely to frighten him, and to bring the case
before the Lord Mayor or some other magistrate. I had
that pistol, I assure your Lordship, to protect myself
against a combination which has existed against me more
than two years.
Mr. Sidney said the prisoner had been the faithful
iervant of Messrs. Eyre and Moses for twenty-five years,
ins that these gentlemen were convinced the man had
no intention of doing any serious mischief, and had no
objection to have him back in their service as soon as
passible.
The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had been guilty of
a very gross offence, at all events, for, supposing there
was no ball in the pistol, the wadding might have struck
the eye of the prosecutor, and done him irreparable
mischief. His Lordship felt that, although the state-
ments which had been made in favour of the prisoner
you'd, in all probability, influence a jury, he had no
alternative but to submit the case to that tribunal.

The prisoner was then committed upon the charge of
felony.
IVilliam Pond, a regular dustman, and his wife, Mar-
garet, were charged with having aesaulted an old
woman and two little boys. Several of the fraternity
were present.
the neighbour-
The defendants had been drinking in t
hood of Petticoat-lane at the close of their labours on
boxing- day, and the beverage told more severely upon
the du.tman's wife than upon himself. An old woman
was hobbling by as they came out of a public-house, and
the dustman, who was ripe for fun, clapping his hands,
set his wife upon her, and cried out " Pitch into the ould
'un Peg, you devil." The order was no sooner issued
than obeyed. Peg floored the poor creature, and two
little fellows, who saw the incident, tried to prevent
any further violence. Their antagonist, however, soon
showed her superiority by pitching the boys over the old
woman, and the dustman, whose powers were not called
into action until the police appeared and collared his
wife, then began to show that he was deserving of his
partner. He tried to rescue her, but the force were not
to be denic d, and they securely lodged both in the
station-house.
_The LORD MAYOR—Which:were the more intoxicated?
The policeman, in whose custody they were introduced
to his Lordship, said the man was sober in comparison
with the woman.

Pond—Why you see, my Lord, she was very lushy. A
little overtuck her. It is all she had this blessed Christ-
mas ; and I wanted to carry her home, but the gentle-
men there would'nt stand it, so I thought I would'nt
leave her in sich a pinkie.
The LORD MAYOR—You are fined 203., or fourteen
days ; and she is fined 10s., or fourteen days.
. .

. .
. A rough voice in the crowd—"l say, my Lordship,
what will you let the pair on 'em at liberty for ?"

The Loin lileYon-They shall be discharged upon
paying 30s.
The Voice—Take ten. We'll rise ten bob here if
you'll let the pair OR 'em go.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—NO ; they must pay 30s. or go
to prison, and that won't be comfortable. If the oA wo-
man and the second boy had appeared. the punishment
would have been much heavier.

A deep and general groan issued from the dustmen
behind the bar and their wives, and one of the latter
cried out, " Oh, aint it scandalous to lock 'em up for a
fortnight for only pitching into an old warmint, not worth
the dirt she was tumbled in."

In a very short time the fraternity contrived to
pay 30q., the presence of the defendants being indis-
pensably necessary in going the rounds for Christmas-
boxes in consequence of the apprehended competition
of the flying dustmen.

FIRE IN THE HAYMARKET.—Late on Monday
night the premises belonging to Mr. Stray, a tailor, of
39, Haymarket, were disc over, d to b- on fire by a police-
man. Ile succeeded in arousing the inmates, not, 119w-

effecting a retreat by the usual way. The parties ma-

were taken into the adjoining house. The fire was not
subdued until it had passed through almost every apart-
ment in the house, destroying a considerable amount of
stock, furniture, and other effects. Mr. Stray was in-
sured in the Phoenix Office, hut rot to t!-,e amount of
