him, however, it has transpired. that the
whole crew of the Brazilian ship were
put TO death, having been first put in a
boat, and then fired at and sunk by the
pirate.
The most horrid and disgusting part Of
the tale remains yet to be told. The ship
was condemned at Surinam, in conse.
quence of having a shaving cargo consist
ed OF considerable quantity Of pork in
hogsheads; these were found to contain
human carcases cut up into pieces, and
sailed amongst the pork. On many parts
oil these human remains were distinctly
traced pieces Of ta,,ooing with which sea-
men often mark their bodies. The au-
thorItles on learning these horrible details,
took every possible precauton TO prevent
them from being made public, whilst the
captain and crewof the schooner were
suo Judtce 1t IS not yet known whether
the human flesh was originally MIXED up
with the pork, or whether it was the work
OF the pirates. 1t is greatly apprehended
that these monsters will get off; the Dutch
criminal proceedings are extremely tcdi-
Gus the,e IS also well known and pro-
verbal liability to bribery; and the Jail is
in most wretchcd and insecure condi-

responds with that given of the vessel

DEMARARA. Sept 9

oCpt
HORRIBLE. Reports equally singular
and shocking are at present IN cIrcula-
ton here, a. we give them publicity on
the veraclty of a respectable gentle man
from SurlDam. 1t would seem that about
four months ago, Dutch sloop of war,
whilst cruising off the Island OF Saba, fell
b" with ship, the crew of which could
not give any account of her destination,
or whence she came and having no pa
pers TO show, she was Immediately taken
possession OF by the Dutchman. Shortly
after, schooner strongly armed and nam
ed: made her appearance, spoke the
Duicn slocP Of war, and claimed the ship
as her prize. The schr. professed to he
Buenos Ayrean privateer, and produced
commission in support OF her pretensions
On examination it was found that the
commission was limited to a given period,
and that period bad expired for some time
The Dutcbman o. course very properly
took possession of The schooner as a
pirate, and along with the ship carried
him TO Saba. But the authorities there
being incompetent, they were subsequent
ly carried to SuriDam for adjudication !;
and on investigation it turned out that the
ship came from Brazil, that she was fitted
out as slave ship, and was proceeding to
the African coast for her unha!lowed traf-
fiic and that she was captured by the
brigantine few days after leasing port
with her outward voyage. The crew,
however, who left the port with her are
missing, and no satisfactory account is
given Of them by the pirate. Our infor-
mant states, that one of the crew Of the
schooner offered to become kings evi.
dence, but such being inconsistent With
the Dutch criminal proceedings the tes-
timony Of this man was rejected. From

were struck by one popularity in the construc-
ton Of two Of the ploughs engaged in the con-
test of ploughing, in the mould board being
placed the left instead of the right side of the
plough. Their experience in the use of a
plough of this construction does not qualify
them to say whether it confers any real advan-
tage. They saw, however, that the plough ran
more steadily, would turn moro readily, and ap-
parently with more both to the team and
ploughnan. They are disposed to the opinion,
however, that this was produced, more from su-
perior workmanship in the manufacture of the
plough, than fiom any other cause With re-
gard to the teams and gearing, we saw nothing
worthy of particular remark.

of uhr old and esteemed friend Mr.. Henry See

never seen better slate, and alter little
time, we will be able to supply the whole coun-
try round We replied that we were truly glad
TO hear Of the undertaking, and congratulated
him on his prospects; aud as We were think
ing of building in year or Two, we told him
he might consider US as engaging roof Of
him for beginning. This conversation passed
as we were stepping into The gig, and did not
afford time to make any minute inquiries. Mr..
S has since been in town, and made his undtr-
taking known, aud so far has every reason 10
b, lieye that il will turn out good business.
The excavations are going on al The quarry,
and the sIa'e proves 10 be Of the first quality,
equal TO any OF the imported. We understand
| that Mr.. Sens1ney, who is now erecting his
| spacious buildings along the public square, has
given Mr.. 5. an order, 50 that our citizens,
many of whom never saw slate ioof, will have
an opportunity Of seeing one the ensuing fall
