this country. Merchants in this city, who. to al
appearances pure and sanctifed, are engaged
largely in this trade.
In the meantime the Buzzard and her two prizes
will remain in harbor. The nate and steward
OF the Eagle and the mate and boatswain Of the Clara
have also been brought here to act as witnesses In
case trial should be ordered. The Spanish crews
were landed at Havana. The log book Of the Clara
is singular document. II contains regular prise
current Of slaves and all their transactions. This
was kept by the mate against the wish of Captain
Hooker, and is alone sufficient to convict them The
cut registers, as they called, were obtained BY
both captains at Havana, and, should trial take
place, some developments will be made in relation
to them that will be startling.
! There are upwards Of twenty American built yes
sells, differed by Americans, engaged in this trade,
aud they have all these cut registers, which were
obtained from the source-and that source is

The British cruisers have several times captured
them, but invariably gave them up upon seeing their
papers. Now they determined to see if it is
really true that such vessels sail under the Ame-
rcan flag while engaged in the slave trade, and have
therefore captured and brought these vessels to New
York for this purpose.
The whole affair will be laid before our govern.
ment in few days, and arrangements will undoubt-
edly be entered into, ought to be, with the Eng
lsh government in regard to the future management
Of these important matters! Heretofore, in England
and throughout all Europe the humane, natural and
happy domestic institutions of the black and white
races Of the southern states have been mixed up
and blended with the piratcal trade Of African
slavery on the old continent. Now it is fact,
the present will show trial. that the slave

in the rapacity and avarce Of the free states
north of Mason and Dixon's line. The southern do
nestle slave system is marked with humanity, reli-
gion, and all the natural affections--and yet the
hypocres in the free states that cry against
that natural institution originate and continue the
cursed slave trade on the coast of Africa.
PLEASANT VERY WHY NOT 1.-The thermo-

Judging of the future from the past the heat is likely
to increase in intensity daily. The ocofoco corpo-
ration loving dirty rather than clearly streets, be.
cause their habits dirty will not render the city
fit to stay in during the heat of the ensuing
"long long summer days. therefore we must all,
like other amphbous animals take to the water occa-
sonally obtain fresh air. fresh color, fresh ideas,
fresh vigor aud fresh appetite fer all that is lovely
land and water. We must have water parties
this summer excursions up the river, and down the
bay, and round the harbor, and round Long Island
and Staten Island, and all the other Islands with
which our beautiful bay abounds landing occasion

wells Island, and taking a dejeune, as we used
to do

We must have water parties, but we have not
enough steamboats, that are sufficiently large and
handsome for the accommodation Of the crowds that
would join these excursions. The odious monopoly
Of the Hudson River Company have bought up some

We advise her present propretors to employ her in
this way during the summer. They would benefit
the public and enrich themselves. Capt. Pennoyer
is admirably adapted to render such excursions
agreeable to all parties therefore let the Neptune

her first excursion be down the bay, to the novel
and interesting experiments (by order Of the govern

shot. II would be pleasant very Why not

RELIGIOUS MovEMEsTs.-On account OF the cx-

all over the country, to spread his kingdom, to
lengthen his cords, and to strengthen his stakes il
appears that certain religious sects have endeavored
