Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and S Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable ,
as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or filly per cent. of the lett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company Upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Arm'. 22.
The market was thinly attended, owing to the very wet
day. The supply of corn was unusually small, and the growers
did not• seem willing to submit to any reduction in the price
of their wheat; the sale was very slow, and could only be pro-
ceeded with at a reduction of i s per quarter. A few samples
of malting barley appeared, but meta dull sale at last week's
prices.

HULL, Avara.22.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The holi-
days are interfering a good deal with business just now, and
the transactions of the past week have been on a limited scale,
with more disposition to give way' in price than noticeable
during the previous week. We have,now fine genial weather,
and vegetation has made a rapid start : the country looks well.
The supply of farmers' wheat to-day was moderate, and mil-
lers were able to select best samples at some small reduction on
last week's rates ; good 631bs red wheat 'was worth 38s per
quarter, other qualities in proportion. The demand for barley
has slackened a good deal; the fine weather is against a con-
tinuance of malting, and only choice samples are now saleable
for this purpose ; there is also less demand for grinding quail.
ties. Oats are scarce, and fetched our full quotations. Beans
quite as dear as last week. Nothing doing in peas. The lin-
seed market is quiet, with a moderate consumptive business—

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—At this day's market there
was a fair attendance of town and country buyers, who,
however, acted with much caution, and only a small
business resulted. Fine fresh wheats were in fair re-
quest at late rates, but inferior descriptions were easier
to buy. Flour met with a very limited demand, and
must be noted 6d per sack and barrel lower. Fine meal-
ing oats were saleable at full prices, but inferior qualities
were difficult to move, except at a decline of id per 451bs.
Oatmeal was more inquired for, and in the sales made,
fully maintained its value. There were several buyers of
barley for Wales in attendance, and, being extremely
scarce, an advance of ld per 601bs was realised. Beans
and peas were without change, either in value or demand.
Indian corn met with little attention, and last Tuesday's
prices were not obtainable.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 22.
'Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a

—Bench of Magistrates.)
Samuel Hamment, aged 27, was indicted for having
stolen 101. in gold from the person of John Thomas.
Mr. Metcalfe appeared to defend the prisoner.
As the details of this case appeared in our police re-
port, under the head of " Worship-street," a few days
since, it will merely, upon the present occasion, be ne-
cessary that we should state such a portion of them as
shall refresh the memory of our readers as to what the
case is. _ _

-The prisoner is a cabman; and the prosecutor, lifting
arrived at Southampton on board the Bentinck India-
man, was there paid off, receiving 271. in sovereigns and
half-sovereigns. From Southampton ha journeyed to
London by the South-Western Railway, and upon reach-
ing the Waterloo station he went to the Spread Eagle,
in Gracechurch-street, where he took a cab, of which the
prisoner was the driver. Upon placing his luggage on
the cab he found that a favourite parrot had been left at
the station, whereupon he gave directions to be driven
back there. Having regained the bird he desired the
prisoner to drive him to Turner-square, Hoxton, where,
on their arrival, he paid 7s. 6d. as the fare, and out of
good fellowship desired "to stand a glass of grog." The
prisoner then drove him to several public-houses, at which
they had grog. As they were leaving one of these houses
the prisoner put two women into the cab with him,
but, as he thought their object was to rob him, he " cap-
sized" them out again and closed the door. They then
drove on, and the prisoner " brought up" at some wine-
vaults in Hoxton. Here they had some more grog, the
prosecutor standing treat; and as they were quitting
this place the prisoner shifted his badge to another man,
and, having got into the cab with the prosecutor, called
out to the man on the box to drive on. The prisoner
took his seat at the " stern" of the cab, while the prose-
cutor was obliged to sit " for'ard." After they bad pro-
ceeded a little way the prisoner made a " lurch for'ard,"
and before he could be "righted" himself the prosecutor
felt his hand on his waistcoat pocket, in which were
27/., composed of sovereigns and half-sovereigns. When
they " brought up" again at Hoxton he felt in his
pocket and found that 101. of the money had been taken
trom him. They both then got out, and the prisoner
demanded the payment of a third fare; for, in addition
to the first payment of 7s. 6d., he had been paid a
second demand for fare of 103. The third demand the
prosecutor refused to comply with, and, a disturbance
ensuing, the policeman, when he came up, took the num-
ber of the cab. The prosecutor stated that after be bad
turned the women out he had counted his money and
found it to be all right, but that on counting it after the
cabman had made his " lurch" 101. of that money was
gone. Eventually the prisoner was given into custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. METCALFE—He was unable
to say whether the money he had lost was in sovereigns
or half-sovereigns. He should think that the money he
had received at Southampton, which was all in gold,
was paid in about one-third of half-sovereigns, but he
could not swear that in this 101. his loss had consisted
even of one sovereign and the remainder in half-
sovereigns, or two half-sovereigns and the rest in so-
vereigns.
Mr. METCALFE hero submitted to the Court that upon
the decision of the judges, Mr. Justice Erie being the
only dissentient, in " The Queen v. Bond," 4 Denison's
Criminal Cases, there was an end of the case, for there

it had been held that it was necessary for the prosecutor
to swear to the identical value of the coin lost. In
" The Queea v. Bond" that necessity had not been com-
plied with, and therefore the judges had ruled that the
indictment could not be sustained.
The Learned JUDGE said he should like to see the

case. If his recollection served him rightly, it had
there been laid that the money stolen was described as
of " every coin of the realm."
Mr. METCALFE said that was so, and that the money
which had been stolen had amounted to 2001. or SOW.,
or even a larger sum, but the prosecutors upon the trial
had been unable to swear specifically what coin the money
lost consisted of, and, therefore, the judges sitting on the
" reserved cases" bad held that such a description being
necessary the indictment could not be sustained.
The Learned JUDGE—Was he to understand the
Learned Counsel to say that " The Queen v. Bond" was
" all fours" with the present case?
Mr. METCALFE—Certainly; and so strong was the
opinion of the Court as to the necessity of proof in this
particular that the only dissentient
.on the bench was
Mr. Justice Erle.

The prosecutor then, in answer to questions from the
Court, said that however much he had gone to "leeward"
in this business, still he should be sorry to swear
wrongly, and he had no hesitation in stating that be
could not swear quite positively whether his loss con.
sisted of sovereigns or half-sovereigns alone, or whether
it consisted of a certain number of sovereigns and a cer-
tain number of half-sovereigns, or whether one sovereign
and the remainder in half-sovereigns, or whether it con-
sisted of any given number of one coin or the other.
Tho Learned JUDGE said it was quite clear the prose-
cutor intended to speak the truth, and his opinion indivi-
dually was, that this technical objection, however
strongly upheld by the majority of the judges of the su-
perior court, was altogether unworthy of the year 1851.
Mr. O'BRIEN said that Lord Campbell, who had been
one of the judges when the decision of " The Queen v.
Bond" had been given, appeared to have entered into the
feelings of the Learned Judge as to the impropriety of
such law being retained, for his Lordship had subse-
quently introduced a Bill into the House of Lords
with a view to the amendment of the law in that respect.
The Learned JUDGE said he regretted that such a
case as this should arrive at such a termination. He
must nevertheless be governed by the decision of the
superior court, and he was therefore bound to tell the
jury that they must acquit the prisoner.
The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Acquittal.
Captain HANSLEIe could not but think that it was a
great pity that justice in such a case as this should be
defeated by such a technicality.
Mr. METcaLeu could assure the Court that he did not
rest his case alone on the technical objection, for he had
a most complete answer to the case which had been made
out by the prosecutor.
The Learned JUDGE sincerely hoped that Lord Camp.
bell would successfully carry his Bill for amendment in
I expenses,led to
London n
these cases
prosecutor then applied for his
in(m consequence of being
for this prosecution, he had been unable to join
thato
the Singapore, on board of which vessel he had obtained
an appointment.
The Learned JUDGE said that all the costs the law
would allow him he should have.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A man was brought up in the custozly of Jarvis, one
of the city officers, charged by the superintendent of
police, acting in a distant district, with having stolen two

horses. -
A brother of the prisoner had been apprehended about
two years ago for horse stealing, convicted, and sen-
tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The vice was
not corrected by the punishment. The moment the de-
linquent was liberated from confinement he recommenced
operations, and in a short time the robbery of seven
horses was traced to him and two others of the family,
and at the present time the father and two brothers of
the prisoner are awaiting their trial, which 4s to take
place at the next assizes upon charges of a similar kind.
The prisoner's father is a small farmer who has lived in
repute for several years within a few miles of the place
in which the last offence attributed to the prisoner was
committed. His house is situated in a retired spot, pe-
culiarly calculated, according to the description given by
the officer, for concealment and escape—there being se-
veral narrow and unfrequented roads and lanes in the
immediate neighbourhuod. The son who has al-
ready suffered the penalty of the law resided at
some considerable distance from the spot in which his
father and brothers lived, and was not, to all ap-
pearances, by any means in the habit of asso-
ciating with them—a circumstance attributed to the
loss of character to which his notorious habits subjected
him. The extraordinary disappearance of horses from
stables at various places within a few miles of the farm-
house, however, caused a police
investigation, the result
of which was the apprehension of the members of the
family who are now in prison, -and the pursuit of the
man at the bar, who was on Monday traced by Jarvis,
the City officer, to Mint-street, in the Borough.
Sir PETEit Limin—lt is very seldom that we bear of
a regularly organized system of robbery like this. The
father's character, no doubt, was serviceable to the ob-
ject of the plunderers.
' The superintendent—He was never suspected, for
there appeared to be no intercourse between him and his
convicted son. We can trace ten stolen horses to one of
th© sons, and in the house of the father I found the
saddles and bridles of some of them. We have no doubt
that they all acted together, and it is rather surprising
that some of them have actually driven several of the
horses, before they sold them, close to the very neigh-
bourhoods in which they had broken open the stables.
I apply to the London magistrate to remand the prisoner
till to-morrow, and to direct that he be delivered up to
me to be conveyed before the county magistrate, who
will commit him for trial, together with his father and
brothers.

Sir PETER LAURIE then directed that the prisoner
should be given up to the superintendent.
MARYLEBONE.

Henry Williams, aged 16, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Long, for re-examination, charged with having
stolen a quantity of silver plate, the property of Mr.
Walter Buchanan, a county magistrate, residing at No.
2, Sussex-place, Hyde-park-gardens.
The particulars of the previous examination have al-
ready appeared, and it will be remembered that the but-
ler, during his temporary absence from the bottom of the
house, heard a rattling of plate in the pantry, and, on
going down, saw the prisoner make a speedy egress by
the area steps, and thence into the street. The butler fol-
lowed him, crying " Stop thief," and he was speedily
captured, after having, in the course of his progress,
dropped a soup ladle and a fish slice, both of whic ar-
ticles were picked up prior to the prisoner being stop-
ped. It was further shown that the butler took the
prisoner back to the house, and then sent for a policeman,
when the prisoner was searched, and in his pockets were
found seven tablespoons, three saltcellars, four salt-
spoons, and a butter knife, all of which belonged to Mr.
Buchanan. When the prisoner was given in charge he
begged for mercy, alleging that he had never before
gone done an area, or committed a robbery irk any other
way. The remand took place in consequence of the
police being of opinion that they should be able to sub-
stantiate other charges of robbery against the prisoner.
This was not done, and the prisoner was sent for trial
for the robbery at Mr. Buchanan's.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Henry Barnett Wheeler, a young man of gentleman-
like appearance, residing in Nelson-place, Grange-road,
Dalston, was brought before Mr. Arnold in the custody
of Holland, the warrant officer, charged with threatening
the life OT his wife, and with having practised towards
her a long-continund series of cruelty and ill-treatment.
Mr. ARNOLD said, that it was a most distressing
case ; but, as it was manifestly impossible for any wo-
man to live happily with a man who conducted himself
with such systematic and outrageous violence towards
her, ho would suggest, as the most advisable course for
both parties, that- they should consult some mutual
friends, with a view to effect an arrangement for their
permant separation.
The complainant, with much earnestness, at once ac-
ceded to the proposal, to which, however, the defendant
expressed the strongest repugnance, and said that, as
he had no wish to part from his wife, he would leave the
matter in the hands of the magistrate, with an intima-
tion that if he were called upon to find bail, he had no
means of procuring it.
Mr. ARNOLD expressed his intention to suspend the
warrant for a week, and asked the complainant if she
considered her husband's own recognizance would be a
sufficient security for his peaceable behaviour in the
The complainant (emphatically)—Most decidedly not.
I have already suffered so much at the hands of that
man, that I feel my life to be in daily and hourly danger
from his violence.
Mr. ARNOLD said that, in that case, be should require
the defendant to put in substantial bail for his ap
pearance next week, and suspend the warrant for that
period.
The defendant repeated that he was utterly unable to
procure the requisite bail, and he was accordingly re-
moved in the custody of the gaoler.
SOUTHWARK.
Patrick Cullen was placed at the bar, charged with
being engaged in an assault upon the police, during
which 121 M, and 141 of the same division, were so
seriously injured that they were for some time consi-
dered in danger of losing their lives.
It appeared that on the evening of the 6th instant a
fight took place in Tooley-street among some Irishmen
after the funeral of a deceased countryman. The two
policemen being near the spot interferred to prevent the
fight, and having succeeded in separating the com-
batants, the latter fell upon them and began to kick and
beat them. The policemen then attempted to take their
assailants into custody, when several of their associates
joined in the rescue, during which the former wore as-
sailed with brickbats and stones. One of the rioters
seized the staff from policeman 121, and beat him over
the head with it until he rendered him insensible, and
his brother constable, 141 M, was about the
same time struck with a stone on the head
with such violence as to lay him prostrate
on the ground, in which condition they were
both obliged to be carried to the hospital, where on
examination it was discovered that each was labouring
under concussion of the brain, besides extensive lacera-
tion of the scalp. Their assailants all escaped at the
time, but five of them have been since taken into custody
and committed for trial. The prisoner had abandoned
his usual haunts, and was only apprended the previous
day, and he was now placed at the bee. 'rho eev
vinidethat
of three witnesses was taken, each of them pg

knocked him down.
The prisoner asserted that ho was not present, and
called a countryman of his own to show that he was at
home at the time it was alleged he had assaulted the
police. The witness, however, failed in supporting the
assertion, and the prisoner was committed.
The policemen, although so severely injured, are pro-
gressing favourably, and were sufficiently recovered to
be enabled to attend the examination.

EXECUTION—OF GEORGE CARNT FOR
THE LA WSIIALL MURDER.
BURY ST. EDMUNDS, TUESDAY.—This morning, at
nine o'clock, George Carnt, who was tried and convicted
at the last assizes for this county of the murder of Eliza-
beth Bainbridge, underwent the extreme penalty of the
law, on the new drop erected on the top of the central
archway, leading to the interior of the prison.
His unfortunate victim, who was about thirty years of
age, was the daughter of a hard working and respectable
farmer at Lawshall. About nine or ten years ago she
married the butler of a clergyman at Leawardstone, but
after living with him for some time, and giving birth
to a child, he deserted her, and enlisted in the Royal
corps of Sappers and Miners, and for the last seven
years they had not seen each other. On her deser-
tion by her husband she continued to reside, with her
child, at her father's, and conducted herself with the
greatest propriety. The prisoner resided in the same
village, and was considered a respectable agricultural
labourer. For ten or twelve days previous to the mur-
der, which took place on the 20th of January last, the
deceased bad been staying with her sister, a Mrs. Payne,
whose husband keeps the Harrow public-house at Law-
shall, where the prisoner had been lodging for about a
week. Here they were frequently seen in close conver-
sation together, and on one occasion their conversation
appeared to have been carried on in such an earnest tone
as to lead to the impression that the prisoner had made
some improper proposal, which the deceased had indig
nantly refused. This the prisoner, it will be subse-.
quently seen, denied. The deceased left her sister's
house at Harrow about half-past three o'clock, for the
purpose of returning home to her father's farm, proceed-
h" across the fields. The prisoner was in the kitchen at
the' time, and shortly after he left the house. No notice
was taken which way he went, but it is certain he over-
took the unfortunate woman, and effected bis deadly
purpose. On the trial no direct evidence could be ad.
duced as to the precise wanner in which the deed was
effected, and it must therefore rest entirely on the pri-
soner's own statement, that he forced her into the pond,
which was only a foot and a half deep, and held her
down until she was suffocated. It is certain, however,
that there must have been a most determined struggle

between them.
Immediately after his conviction Carnt quietly resigned
himself to his fate, but became at times greatly depressed.
Lie readily received and responded to the admonitions

and religions instrection after ed him by the Rev. Mr.
Wells; the chaplain of the gaol. He repeatedly admit-
ted to... Mr. Wells, and the governor, Mr. M'latyre, his
guilt, end the justness of his sentence, although at first
he made varied statements as to the cause and manner
in which he effected the object.
•Shortly previous to his execution Carnt made a more
deliberate statement both to the Rev. Mr. Wells and
Mr. Mlntyre, which it was not considered necessary to
reduce to writing. We are, however, indebted to the
kindness of Mr. Al'lntyre, at the conclusion of the exe-
cution, for being enabled to lay before our readers the
statement nearly verbatim.
On Wednesday last Carnt took his final farewell of his
aged father (who appeared overwhelmed with grief), his
brother, and two sisters. The interview was a long and
painful one. Carnt, although greatly distressed, was
calm in his manner. On their meeting,, the father, the
tears streaming down his aged and furrowed cheeks, ad-
dressing his wretched son, said, "Oh, George, if you
bad always taken my advice this would not have hap-
pened." Carat replied, " That is too true, father, but
you don't know what greet temptation I had." He then
turned to his brother, and in earnest and, forcible 'terms
begged him to be warned by his fate, and to warn, others
also, that the first step towards a sinful course of life
was drunkenness; it had been the ruin of him; had be
never indulged in drink it would never have happened.
At seven the Rev. Mr. Wells visited the wretched
culprit in his cell, where he found him in prayer. He
frequently thanked the Reverend Gentleman for his
kindness to him, and for being the means of awakening
him to a sense of religion, and he trusted and believed,
through the mediation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, that
his soul would be saved.
On the governor entering his cell, to whom he had
constantly repeated his thanks for' the kindness that
had been shown him, Carnt, who knew that he, had been
unwell, asked him how he was and whether he felt bet-
ter, and on being assured that he did, be expressed his
gladness to hear it. He spin expressed his thanks to all
in the prison. He partook sparingly of 1104,,
t
coffee,, and again relapsed into deep and earnest
prayer,
'
aad never ceased until death terminated his' career in
this world. A few minutes before' nine o'Olock Mr.
M'lntYre, attended, by the Under-Sheriff, --„Gooding,
Esq., of Southwold, and the Deputy Sheriff, Sparkes,
Estp, of Bury,' announced to him that the hods' had ar-
rived. He appeared to •sink, but soon. rallied, and
walked by the side of Mr. MSlntyre from the cell to the
room under the fatal drop; repeating the,wbole way,
" Lord Jesus Christ, have- mercy upon my soul 1"
He was then placed in the hands of Caleraft,
by whom he . was pinioned and led to the scaffold,
but he became so weak that he was obliged to
be assisted by two turnkeys. When placed under the
fatal beam, the cap was drawn over his head, the fatal
noose was adjusted, the bolt was withdrawn, andhe ceased
to exist. He appeared to die without a struggle. After
banging the usual time the body was cut down and will
be interred in the gaol. He was 23 years of age, 5 feet
1 inch high, but very muscular.
After, the admission of the representatives of the local
and London press, they received from the reverend
chaplain and from the governor, the following statement
made by the wretched man:—
" I am perfectly satisfied, and bog t® express my entire
confidence in the jury and the judge before whom I
was tried, and I now freely admit the eorrectness of
the evidence adduced against me on the trial, and that
I committed the act as stated in the evidence, but I
deny the statement made of any improper importunity.
Myself and Elizabeth Bainbridge had been in the field
the greater part of the afternoon, and some• unplea-
sant words ensued between us, when she suddenly
snatched my knife, and threatened to cut her throat,
I succeeded in getting the knife from her, when
she stated Then I will drown myself.' I then said,
If that is the case, we will both drown ourselves to-
gether.' I was in a state of frenzy at the time, and re-
gardless of what I was doing, and in spite of her entrea-
ties and her resistance succeeded in forcing her to the
pond, threw her in with myself upon her, with a deter-
mination of destroying myself as well as her, but I ILOW
beg to express my thanks to Almighty God that I was
prevented carrying my intentions into effect, as it has
enabled me by prayer to seek my salvation from the
Throne of Mercy. I freely admit I forced and kept the
deceased down, but after some time I became aroused to
a sense of consciousness and desire for life for which
I cannot account. I returned home. I was as one
lost, and wholly unconscious of what I was doing. I
had been taking a great deal of beer during the day,
there having been a club dinner at Mr. Payne's that
day—in fact, I was full of beer at the time, and when
that was the case I always became so excited that 1
never scarcely knew what I did. Had it not been for
that she might, as she well knew, as also others, have
led me like a child. The interchange of trinkets between
us was common. I often wore her ring., and she was
frequently in the habit of wearing my watch—it was a
common occurrence between us. I freely regret and ad-
mit my guilt."

REPORT OF THE ROYAL _HOSPITALS
FOR THE PAST YEAR.
The following is a condensed report of the number of
children and other poor people maintained in the several
Royal Hospitals of the city of London under the pious
care of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Governors
thereof for the year last past:—
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

The expenses of repairing and keeping up the build-
ings of this hospital having been found to be extremely
burdensome, a fund was established in 1802, with a view
to the gradual and complete rebuilding of tile whole
fabric, and a great part has accordingly been restored
in a most commodious and substantial manner,
without reduoing the number of children upon the
establishment during the progress of the works.
Much, however, yet remains to be done, and the
governors regret to state that the fund originally sub-
scribed has been completely exhausted, and a very con-
siderable sum expended from the general funds of the
charity; but they are willing to hope that the generosity
of the public will afford the means of completing this
great work, and prevent the necessity of encroaching
further upon the permanent income of the hospital, and
thereby diminishing the scope of its usefulness.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S HOSPITAL.
There have been admitted, cured, and discharged
during the last year 5,522 in-patients and
69,755 medical and surgical ont-patients, in-
cluding casualties, most of whom were poor,

REMARKABLE RETURN IN THE CENSUS —DISGRACE
TO AMERICA.—WiIIiam and Ellen Craft, who gave last
week, at the Woodhouse Mechanics' Institute, so touching
an account of their escape from slavery, were the guests of
our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. Wilson Armistead.
Being that gentleman's lodgers on the 30th of March, it was
requisite that their names and places of nativity, ss well as
their rank and profession should be inserted by him in the
Government census paper, to be filled up and returned on the
31st. These two individuals were accordingly entered by
Mr. Armistead under their real designation—" Fugitives
from Slavery in America, the land of their nativity." What
a disgrace to a professedly free and christian country as
America that such an acknowledgment should have to be
made. That it should be published to all the world that
America's own born citizens aro driven to seek refuge in a
foreign clime from the man-stealer, and from the horrors of
slavery. The fugitives arrived about four months since in
Liverpool, where, for the first time, they set foot on really
free soiL They are very interesting and intelligent persons.
Ellen is a gentle, refined-looking young creature of 24 years,
as fair as most of her British sisters, and in mental quali-
fications their equal too. William is very dark, but of a re-
flective intelligent countenance, and of manly and
deportment.h—kceels Mercury,
