BOSTON, Nov. Ia. lsSa
Since my last notice of the Slave Latirne,. N.
excitement which grew out OF hi, arrest and i'm.
prisonment, scithout tcarrant or other lspel ORA.
cess, far from abasing, has been continually On
the increase. A penny paper, entitled the Lat,
mer Journal and North Star, was started few
days ago. under the management (amoog s,hers(
of William F. Charming, son Of the late lamen,ed
Dr. Claiming; the object of which was to use i,s
own language, to give ut,erance to the alarm and
indignation of Massachusetts at the encroachmen,s
OF Slavery on her SELL 1t was published a, ths
office Of the Boston Courier, and circulated BY
thousands both in city and country. Uader ,h,
and other kindred influences, the excitement hud
become so extensive, that probably not less thaa
5000 people would have come together to await
the result Of the trial on Monday next, if the casa
had not been taken out of Court by the voluntary
act of the claimant and his agents. believe i,
would have been rs impossible TO carry Latimsr
out Of the city "a Slave, as it would be to pluck
an angel out of Heaven, Not less than 500 PEG.
pie had made arrangements to come from Lynn
alone to attend the trial. and hundreds more were
ready to flock in from other places while the
great bedy of our citizens were moved with sym.
patty for the fugitive and with indignation agains,
those who had illegally arrested and detained him.
This general excitement asd agitation, together
with certain legal proceedings impending overt the
heads of the shareholders, the Sheriff and Jaisr,
and well settled conviction that farther effort to
obtain their victim as a slave would be useless,
brought them terms and they last night set tina
prisoner free, on the payment of S400, to meet
part of the expenses incurred by his arrest and
Imprisonment. Not cent of this, however, will
go to Gray, the CLAIMANT but it will all be absorb
ed in meeting only part OF the expenses OF the
officers. Gray has spent nearly $500, besides his
time, for which he will have only this consolation,
that he has been the means OF creating an excite
ment unexampled in Boston, without obtaining his
victim and thus rendered it morally certain tina,
a fugitive slave is rs secure here as he oan be in
any place this side of heaven, The Sheriff confess
ed that he had done wrong; said he was heartily
sorry that he had been induced to have any agency
in such n transaction and that no fugitive slave
should ever cross the threshold of our jail while it
remained under his control. The TAILOR, ALSO pro-
tested that he would never be concerned again in
such u business and in consideration OF these
promises, I.atmer and his friends agreed not to
prosecute them for false Imprisonment, or on any
other charge connected with the transaction
Austin, also, the counsel for Gray, declared that
this should be his last slave case; and they al
agreed that not an oihser in Boston could be per
suadsd, by any means, to engage in such cuse !
Austin furnished Latimer with free papers and
surrendered the power of attorney for the arrest Of
his afflicted wife; and this morning, after four

embraced each other in the full enjoyment Of

his complexion, state fact, which excited no
little merriment in the company. AS he stood in
