Captain Freeman of the brig Trident, ar
rived at Mobile, from Porto Rico, informs
that French ship, from the coast OF Atri-
ca. had arrived with d cargo of slaves, the
first mate and part of the crew having mu-
tinted and murdered the captain, supercar.
go and second mate. The slaves were sold
before the circumstance leaked out. The
mate, on finding his conduct was known,
made his escape in the boat, but the crew
were apprehended and contined.-The ship
was bound to St. Thomas. and had been CIV
en- up to her consignec, and sailed tor that
place. The misfortuncs of men engaged i'll
this aoominable traffic, are not calculated to
excite the symphathes OF any one.
Maxine Pins by Stcam.--An immense
structure is now building near London, by
Messrs Taylor & Wright for the manufac-
ture Of pins.--The building is 1s5 feet long,
40 feet wide and so feet high; it contains 100
windows besides loop-holes. The pins are
to he made entire by one blow of the ma
chinery, at the rate of 10000 per minute;
they ara for export trade. The steam en-
CINE chimney is 10 feet high; but the foun-
dation having sunk, caused it to incline two
feet from the perpendicular or one side, and
it is thought must come down.
In the first Constituent Assembly of Qua
teniala, in 1928, three Indian deputies took
their seats, of whom two were ecclesiastics.
An Indian was also elected senator. The
tribes of Indians in that republic form more
than half the population. BY the constitn-
ton, they are placed on an equality with the
descendants Of the Spanards.
In the year 1924, it appears that 239 men
and 1872 women committed suicide in France,
being dimnution Of 10 in number. The
greatness Of the number is only attributed to
the gambling tables, the lottery, and the
houses Of debauch, kept up by the govern
ment for the sake ofthe proht derived from
them, with the distress that inevitably FOL
low those who become their dupcs.
