THE AFRICAN PRISONERS

The trial of these prisoners-found on board the
Amistad-has been concluded at New Haven. a
letter from New Haven says-"that Judge Judson,
of the U. s. District Court, delivered an elaborate
opinion on Monday and decreed that the Africans
taken in the Amistad be delivered to the President
of the United States, to be their native coun
try. When this information was communicated to
Jingua and the other Africans, they manifested the
greatest joy. The Spanish boy, who was n slave
in Cuba, ordered 10 be delivered to the Span.
ish minister, TO be sent back to Cuba"
This is right, if the Africans choose to go home
rather than stay in this country. Justice though
tardy in its operation, has been done to the colored
man. But for the timely interference in this case,
of the friends of humanity, different result might
have been unprecedented. But why not let the little

FIRE FIRE all over the county. Every news
paper tells Of them. Aud every owner or occupant
of building should be on his guard to watch a
ganst fire. The strctest caution should be observ-
ed during the cold weather-the cbimnies, stove
pipes, and every thing liable to communicate fire
should be examined every day. Large fires are ne
cessary to keep Jack Frost distance at this sea-
son of the year, and stoves and fire places become
so heated that, when they come in contact with
combustbe materials, the danger Of communist
ing fire is greatly increased. No one can DO too
vigiIant-and should wait till his house is
burned to be reminded of danger.

SCENES IN THE SENATE +,

| When Mr.. Buchanan finished his sub-trea-
sury speech, Mr.. Clay said that although this
was game of ''two pluck one," (alluding to
the fact that both Buchanan and Walker had
directed their speeches principally at him)
yet he would conline himself to the grave and
momentous matters which had been advanced
on this side of the Chamber Cooking at Mr..
| buchanan) without passing to the smaller
concerns on the other side. (Mr. Walker sits
opposite.)
He then proceeded to reply in detail to the
arguments and observations of the .PennsyI.
| vania Senator.
| After he sat down, Mr.. Walker, who had
thus been properly rebuked for his unoentle.
manly attack on Mr.. Clay the day previous,
got up In passion, and poured out whole
volley OF venom, abiding to Mr.. Claws aoe,
&c. He said he would forbear to attack tbe
dying or dead.

Mississippi imagined he was dying, he was
greatly mistaken. 81 am" he added, ssnot
too old to repel impudence and impertinence
from Whatever quarter it may come, or to res.
pond to any application which man of homo,
has a right to make" He then went on to
notice some OF the observations of Mr.. Rucb.
anan, which he had omitted when he was ur
before.
As soon as he resumed his seat, Mr.. Wal.
ker again took the floor, and said that if Mr.,
Clay felt aggrieved by any of his remarks. he
was ready to respond to call from him here OF
elsewhere
Loud laughter followed this explosion, OF
as the Globe would call it, ssthis gigantic off:
spring of Mr.. Walkers mind.''
Mr.. Clay cried out, s.Aggrieved-ob no.
