SLATE Tnans.—The Sierra I.essiSe Ga.vette of the
etlth of July says—•' We have again to hear testimony
the successful zeal of Lieutenant Hagan in the cause
of Africa and of suffering humanity. Yesterday this
tlistiegnished oiheer brought into harbour a large Poe-
tugnese brig with 300 slaves on board: she proves to
he the Es rella, M. V. des Santos, master, cleared out
at Italia for hlalembo, a,.d fornished with a royal
;...s.vort to take slaves front that place; she was, how-
,ler. s. lee.' in the Bight of Benin, nine days from
lago!, where her cargo of human flesh was shipped.
The Estrella bad 'been provionely—bearded by the
'thistle, ell Cape Coast Castle, at which time the mas-
ter t•rofessed himself to be bound to Elmina for a
supply of water, provisions, &a. to enable him to pro-
ceed on his voyage ; but it now appears, that the only
supply he procured was canoes, which, we lament to
state, are there furnished to every slave vessel with-
.nt the least reserve. In the river Calabar, Lieut.
Hagan detained another Portal:nese vessel, the San
Jose Ilallaxa, with 20 slaves on hoard. This vessel,
a schooner, was found, on examinaticn, to be in so
leaky a state, that she could not be brought to this
port ; she was. therefore destroyed, the slaves being
first 'floored on board the Thistle. Donna Maria da
Cruz, the daughter of the notorious Gomez, of Prince's
Ishmd, is the sole owner of the San Jose Hillevi.
The schooner Canceirao, condemned in the Alined
Court some timo since, was also the property of the
same lady, who, it would seetn, bids fair to rival her
father in slave dealing notoriety. Gomez was for-
reedy Governor of Prince's Island, and at present
holds a high station among the Honourable Council
,of his Most Faithful 31ajesty in that island.
DISCOV/CRY SHIPS —The report of a letter having
, bren received by a clerzyman, from his son on board
one of the ships on the North-West Expedition, appears
to bare no foundation. The following paragraph,
from the Hull Packet, sbews the reason why no

tidings of these ships have been received by the i
whalers :—" Bloch speculation loss been afloat of
s late, respecting the expedition under Captain Parry,
especially as no tidings have been brought by any of
the All rte-snips recently arrived. But it eretus that
lie information could be expected, the expedition not
being in the track of the whale-ships, having entered
hl Buokon's Bay. which is to the southward of the
fishing pulled. Besides, If they had made any pro-
gtenlo the westward last year, and were returning
next year unsuccessful, there can be no accounts of
them for oune time ; for the ice island (as Capt. Parry
found on Lis last expedition) does not break up till
:ingest, oral then there is a tedious navigation before
thry can reach the see."
During the earlier years of Sir Witham 0--'s
pravice at the bar, kis clients were almost wholly cf
fat lespectable chats of individuals on whom the Old
depends fur celebri•y, and whom the late Dr
poison user elastically to designate by the appella-
tion of the gen:leo/len of the Fun trade. After devot-
irg, f. .r ten years, his unrivalled talent at confounding
truth, to the extrication and salvation of the bankrupt
b./Rohe/sof this fraternity, the Ltarcerl Counsel hap-
peer& ty occident, to be employed fort creditor,
more p:ainly speaking, fur the prosecutor of a for
trercbsta. The transfer of the goads as. proved by
tho most veritable witn e ; but the defendant pro-
doced a beet-rate character man to prove that they
°aid not possibly have come into his hand', because
he ors a hundred ...tiles out of the way. Mr. ti—w,
!er:ing that if this oh an was believed his cm must tweak
him, set shout impeaching bis credibility, by
k4,ieg," Now Sir, upon the oath you hare taken, will
you swear that for dose ten years past you have ever
Met. etol.loyed by an honest man ?" Mr. Fielding,
Mho r. as Counsel for the prisoner, stopped the witness
in Lis answer, by observing drily, " the best way fur
the oitness to answer that questiou is to put it to the
loaned Beadsman Limsetf."
