Fanny The PhilanihropiSt.--O them
are things what wears Caps and aprons,
give us Fanny Wright for driving a bar
gain. The good public has several times
been told OF the philanthropy ofthis qucs-
tionablc lady, in taking out sundry slaves
from Ncw-Orlcans to IIayti, who it was
pretended, were enabled to throw away
their chains, and walk forth rcgcncratcd,
omancipatcd and discnthrallcd by the
munificoncc of this "irrcsistiblc genius OF
universal emancipation" But we have
been put into the possession olsomc facts
and documents upon the subject of Fan
ny's expedition, which leave all the wood
cn nutmeg stories so far behind, that il
would require DR.. IIerschcl's telescope
to sec them. In the first place, il ap-
pears, that on the 10th of January last
past, Fanny chartered the brig John
Quincy Adams of Boston, then Mt New
Orleans, to take herself and thirty ne
grocs, to st. Domingo-Porl-au-Princc.
These negroes, 1t was represented had
been purchased by Fanny for the pur-
pose of emancipation. But il is now said
that at least iwcnty-scvcn of the thuty,
were free already, and were only coayod
to go along with her, to assist in the com
cdy of raising the wind For the use
of the brig, Fanny paid Captain Law
renson, the master, Sl6OO-we do not
speak without a book, as VIC have n copy
Of the charter party before US. But
as there was good deal of room in the
hold of the brig, Captain Lawrenson had
the privilege of carrying freight, on his
own account, TO the amount 200 barrels
Now it was of no consequence to Capt

From the British Papers.

We perceive by the Edinburgh papers,
that Mrs. Henry Siddons, better known
to the London public as Miss Murray,
badc adicu to the stage on Monday last.
She appeared as Lady Townly; and at
the close of the play delivered farewell
address, composed for the occasion by
Sir Walter Scott. We cannotHesst the
temptation of paying to her merits the
passing tribute of our admiration. Her
professional talents are unqucstionably of
the highest kind, while her manners and
accomplishments would grace any station
in life. Neither in tragedy or comedy,
can the metropolitan boards boast of an
octrcsswho appro acheshcr in excellence.
The dclicacy and truth of her conceptions
of character were worthy of the power
with which they were embodied. Her
voice is of the deepest and most touching
beauty, and she knows well how to avail
herself of the resources with which it in
vests her. Mrs. Henry Siddons rose to
celebrity at a time when the most bril-
liant talents graCed the stage; her loss
would then have been great; at present
il is irrcparahlc. At the termination of
the play on Monday night. Mrs. Sid,lons
came forward, led by her brother. She
was received, as may be imagined, in the
most enthusiastic manner, and repeated
the address which was rs follows:
II The curtain dropslhc mimic scene il past
II One word remains, the saddest and the last;
II a word which oft in careless mood we say,
Il. A
Il AZ oft pronounced in agony of heart
Il When friends must sever, or when lovers part;
Or DER the dying couch in whispers spoken,
II When the last tender thread is all hut broken.
II When all that ear can list or tongue can tell
II Are the faint mouuiul accents fare-ye-well!
| Yet ere we part-and even now tear
II Bedlms my eye to think our parting near
II Fam would speak how deeply in my breast
n VIII the remembrance OF your Kindness rest
II Fain would tc!l-but words arc cold and weak
II II II the heart, the heart alone can speak.
N The wandercr may rejoice to view once more
u The smiling aspect Of her native shore,
n Yet oft, in mingled dreams ofjoy and pain,
II Shc'd think she sees this beautcous land ag ain;
II And then, as now, will fond affection trace
II The kindness that endcared her dwelling place.
II Now, then, il must he said, though from my hear
\ The mournlul accents scarcely will depart

"Thc satisfaction which has been felt

news that Mexican blood has been split.
Letters have been received with the
above communication, stating that among
the killed on the side of the revoltcd is
Galcana, commander of the battalion of
Zacatula, and many other officers. The

vice, has distinguished itself in this af-

In the delivery of this address, Mrs

plause; and, at its conclusion, the al-

accompanied her exit by shouts and way

rom the promise he drew from me, the
necessity of the case will plead my ex-
cuse to him, while it supplies me with an
opportunity which could not otherwise
have sought, Of rendering testimony
thus public to the unostentatiOus gener-
osity and gentlemanly department of the
Chief ofthe llaytian nation.
The bearer of this communication will
show to the Editors of the Commercial
Advertiser the receipt Of duties, and the
bills Of sale, to which ] have referred.
FRANCES WRIGHT.
New-York, May 30, 1880.
We have to add, that we have the
Charter party TO which we referred the
other day, in our possession, and that all
our information was derived from a source
Of tho first responsibility. Since the
foregoing communication was received
from Miss w. we have had an interview
with our informant, whose official station
at Port-au-Price, enabled him to speak
with confidence upon the whole mnttor.
We did not state, positively, but only as
IL rumor, that the thirty slaves were not
slaves in reality. And we arc rather
disposed to believe the rumor was incor-
rect. We have seen the bills of sale re-
fcrrcd to, from which il appears that Miss
w. did purchase, in 1896, 90 negroes =
10 adults, and 10 children. And 10
children, some of them mulattoes, have
been born among them since. We have
also seen the receipt for the duties, the
exact amount of which was S7G07 Hay
ten currency. The principal part of the
cargo of the ship belonged to Miss w.
and was purchased by the President HIM
self, at the highest prices. The 900 bar
rels of which we spoke, as shippedby the
captain would have paid additional du-
ties; but were entered as belonging to
Miss w.; and-our informant pledges us
his honor; that he knows the whole Of
the duties were remiited by the Presi-
dent; and that the recei pit exhibited to us
was a mere matter of necessary FORM
We have every reason, therefore to be-
licve that our former statement was sub
stantialIy correct.
We apprchend that if the mhole tcsti-
mony Of the captain who carried Miss
Wright to Hayti is to be invoked, to ex-
plain all the occurrences ofths voyage of
speculation, her friends will not wish the
investigation pursued. The captain was
respectable citizen, fearing his Maker,
and the father of an honest family. He
had no idea of the performances which
were to be exhibited on board ofhis ves-
sci, when he shipped the fair lady, with a
gentleman in green spectacles, the adult
coloured persons and the pickaninnies, ),
black and yellow, with the cargo which
went to so happy a market. AS to the
nature of these performances, decency
cOmpels us to be silent. And as to the
speculation, we do homage to the lady's
acuteness. She got the highest asking
prices for the articles of her cargo, in
consequence Of the Presidents gallan-
try; while other American vessels had to
60 to another port because the merchants
refused to take theirs at fair valuation
We guess that many Yankees would like
to join her, in just such another opera
ton.
