MAJ r company, off the Dry Tortugas, with

During that period the vessels were
'a ...aed by water spouts, one of which came
,e.r the frigate as to oblige her to fire an

=, would seem from the following extracts
from the New York papers, that the FIRE
n,,cKs in that city are taking rather more H6-
erin. than the white citizens find it convenien,
to submirto.
From the New York Enquirer.
A second time, and at no long interval has
the city been disturbed, the courts of justice
;nsulted, and the administration of the laws
;mpeded, by a mob of Blacks--I beg pardon,
Indies and gentlemen ofcoLOur. 1t isbut a little
while since Judge Edwards was bearded and
brow-beaten, when presiding in court, represent
ING the majesty of the people, and of the laws,
by a mob Of Blacks-I beg pardon, ladies and
gentlemen of coior. So far as know, that out
rage was never punished; and impunity to a first
offence, is little else than an invitation to a Sec
o1d.
What is to be the result of all this? Are We to
be governed by a Mob of Negroes Il beg par
don, ladies' and gentlemen Of color. Are the Negroes
/ mean the ladies and gentlemen Of color, TO be not
only manumitted from slavery, but to come a
privileged order. privileged to interfere with the
administration of the laws-to insult our ma
g~islrates, and pelt our citizens with brick bats?
Truly, this is carrying philanthropy to the end
af its tzther. We are for allowing this modest,
Industrious, intellectual, moral and highly use
Eri class of citizens-I mean the ladies and gen
iismsn ofeoAr-all credit due to their superiori-
81 in these respects over us poor white people
VINO, ifthe truth must be told, are little better
than we should be--but, with due submission,
think they ought to be content with the SUI
p%eriority awarded them by MIR. Wilberforce
and the Commercial, and not pelt US SO unmer-
cifully with brickbats.

One word in addition. Can nobody inrercede
sith the negroes to permit US on some condi-
lions TO pass up and down Broadway, now that
the side walks are widened? Could not some
arrangement, for instance be made with them
by which the street should be given up to them,
one part Of Sunday evenings, upon condition
they would give ii up to us another? This pro-
aahly, would be a mutual accommodation; as a
stout black man was lately heard to exclaim, in
2 peeyish tone, as he elbowed a lady out of her

long for them" ~ Y. Foe. Post.
