want TO sell. Yesterday our immense edition was
exhausted at an early hour--and we have reason to
believe, that few were compelled to pay over taco
cents per copy, and those who were only blame
themselves. This plan Of issuing double sheet was
first devised by the proprietors Of the London
Times" few years ago-in order to enable them to
publish, in day. all the foreign and parliamentary
intelligence, without encroaching the space de-
voted to advertisers. In such a city New York,
the plan is even more useful than in London. We
are more newspaper reading people-nore active
and changeabe in the forms Of busness-more SUBJ
ject to excitement and influences Of all kinds. The
day on which double sheet is issued, may be
ikened to a regular market day, where buyers and
sellers of all commodities brought together to
deal and transact business with each other.
We informed from various quarters that the
effect Of this double sheet is already visible in the

This city was thrown into a state of great excite.
ment Wednesday, by the arrival at quarantine, Of
H. b. M. brig BuzEard, with two slavers her
prizes. The sensation deepened when the ru-
NOR Of their being American vessels and manned by
American crews, circulated. The excitement
great, and the anxiety learn all the facts
sectng their capture increased so fast, that we
thought it advisable to stepon board the 'sTeazer
visit them and gather all could in relation to the
slave trade and the seizure Of the brig Eagle and the
schooner Clara, by Captain Fitzgerald, Of the Buzz
zard.
Accordingly took seat in the stern sheets
of the "Teazer," gave the order 'give way, my
lads, and quickly swept past Governors Island,
and as rapidly approached Staten Island There were
upwards Of fifty square rugged vessels lying at anchor
at quarantine, of all sizes and of all shapes but

The Clara has very much the Of the new pilot
boat Thomas ii. Smith, but never was her. The brig
has her painted on the stern, with large gilt

she did belong is painted out. She is a complete

when captured by the Lily.
We will be brief with the brig, as we have before
mentioned her. tV.
She was captured by the Lily sloop Of war in JAN
uary last and carried Sierre Leone where she was
detained short time, and discharged by the Spanish
authorities, because her commander, Joshua w. Lit
ng, exhibited American papers; but her prize-mas-
ter, Mr.. Boys remained in her, determined to sift
the natter and sailed from Sierre Lee
for the purpose Of conmun ating with the Brit
ish commander. When Lagus bar. she was hail
ed and boarded by the Buzzard as we have already
stated. Mr.. Boys, Of course, gave her up to his
perior officer, but still continued prze-mastcr.
The Clara, commanded by Samuel Is. Hooker, was
captured in the river Nun, by the boats Of the Buz.
zard, early in March. To show the caution with
which captain Fitzgerald acted, we Will state the
particulars. Understanding there was a Spanish
SLAYER up the river, he cruzed at its mouth for
eral weeks and daily up boats to reconnoitre-
landing Mr. Grant several times for the purpose of
getting information from the kings Of the several
African hordes; but nothing could be CLEANED from
them. After becoming pretty well satisfied, how
ever that such vessel the Clara in the river,
Captain r dispatched the yawl, manned with twelve
men and officers, to proceed up the Nun and take
possession Of her. At considerable distance up,
anchored close in bend Of the river, they dscov-
cred and boarded her. Captain Hooker and two
Spaniards only were board, the rest being on
shore. Mr.. Grant demsn ied the slaver's papers,
but was refused them. Capt. ~. said he was an
American had American papers, and was not to be
searched.
While this was going on, one OF the English OH

upon seeing this, sprang forward, passed his hand
