ANOTHER SLAVE CAsE.--Las, week a Mr.,

had ran away from him several years ago, and gone

she was arrested, however, Watson got an opoor

THEFT EXTRAORDINARY.

| THE PEOPLE rerSus ANIMAL INrELLI.
GENcE.-An interesting case of this Gescrip-
ton occurred on Thursday of last week in our
village. Our little daughter having skillfully
wrought quantity Of lace, had spread il
upon the grass to suffer the process of bleach
ing. Two yards and half of delicate net
work is not the production of a moment nor
an hour, and it was watched with interest by
the juvenile manufacturer. II was all her own.
| too, and that thought enhanced its value not a
| little.
Suddenly it was missing; no trace could
be discovered, and with various coniectures
relative to its disappearance, it was consider
ed lost. On the following day, however, to
the great Joy of the little weaver, a playmate
! called, bringing the identical lace, II appears
that robin which had taken lodgings on the
premises ola neighbor, paying its rent every
morning with song, having caught the spirit
of improvement which just now, is working
such wondels in our midst, was engaged in
building u house. Twigs, feathers, bits of
straw, all had been put in requistion, and the
ministrel's home was almost completed. But
a tasteful, &stidious robin she was, indeed :;
this hair was too coarse, that straw too large !;
cotton was scarce, and wool dear
In short, the neighborhood had been ram
sacked, when, as good fortune would have it,
the lace was spied, and what could be more
acceptable for hangings than fine lace : soft
and sIlken as robin could wish This was E.
nough, the doctrine of meum and tuum, about
which men often pirate SO much, to the con-
trary notwithstanding, and the delicate fabric
soon adorned her nest. Alas the labor was
fruitless. To change the stanza of the
ploughman poet:
''But birdie, thou art not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain;
The best laid schemes Of birds and men,
Gang oft awry,
And leave us naught but grief AID pain
For promised joy!''
The lace was discovered and replevied, and
our songster was compelled to renew her
search for other decorations than fine lace.
Who says that the bill for the encouragement
of domestic manufactures is inefficient?

EARTHouAKE AT GoNAivEs.-Capt. Varina, Of
the brig Pandora, at Boston, states that the
earthquake of the 7th was felt at Gonaives. The
inhabitants rushed into the streets, and so saved
their lives. Only two We're killed.
'sHe states further that there were four distinct
shocks In lhe course of minute, two ofthem per.
pendcular and at each hejvdges the earth moved
about six feet.
Nearly all the buildings were destroyed, and
the few left standing were of wood, and so shat
tered as to be useless, and would be taken down,
Most of the buildings at Gonaves were of wood,
and only one story, which would account for the
small loss of life. Capt V. also informs us that
Port au Paix and St. Jago, at the north. met with
the same fate as Cape Hayden, not stone being
left standing another, and two thirds Of the in
habilants DESTROYED.

THE ENGLISH APPRENTICESHIP sYsTI

THE ENGLISH APPRENTICESHIP SYSTEM.
Since the British Emancipation Act went III
to force in the West Indies, it is known that
much Inconvenience has been suffered in those
Colonies from scarcity of labourcrs. There
were negroes enough, and there are enough
now i'll those islands, To cultivate the es-
tates-but the difficulty is to induce them to
work. For some years past there has been all
annual falling off m Nle productiveness of the
Colonies and the newspapers i'll Jamaica and
other islands have been filed with complaints
and with expressions of fearful foreboding AT
the prospect Of ruin and decay which seemed
| 10 await me planters.
Alter many attempts to supply iabourers bv
| Immigration, the plan now III course of prosecu.
ton is to bring native Africans into the islands,
But inasinuch as it would never do for philan-
thropic England to encourage the slave trade
seeing that she has gone forward as the
champion of Christendom to suppress tina,
traffic, and for :his purpose employs her armed
vee~els and claims the right of searching the
vessels of other nations in the name of human
lty, even at the risk of quarrei-s;nce there
fore Il would never do for England to engage
IN the SLAVE trade, she has fallen upon the
happy idea OF giving it another name She
trades III apprentices.
The mode of conducting this traffic, so far
as we can ascertain ii, is to stpulate with ma
| tive chief on the African coast for a cargo OF
negroes, who go through the ceremony OF
signing articles of indentures in language
which they know not a word of, BY which
| they bind themselves to go they know not
| where, to do they know not what, and for q
period they know not how long. Whether
this clear and satisfactory arrangements made
with each severally, or with the chief alone
we do not know-nor does it matter much
In either case the happy adaptation Of the plar
to the well-known principles of British phi
lanthropy and of British interests must BIZ
strkingly apparent. The nominal term O
service is fourteen years--and for this, we Ore.
! sumo, an ample consideration is paid in cotton
bandannas and red calicoes to each upprenf;ce
with rum and tobacco enough to the chief to
keep him in happy state of stupefiction nm.
I'll another cargo is wanted. The New Y ork
Express states that as late as the 7th of Febru-
airy oil the present year, vessels were in the
river Gambia taking on board these apprenti-
ceS, In vessel of 500 tons, 500 negroes
were embarked, or one negro for every ton.
BY this new species of slave trade, called
by another name, the British planters in the
| west Indies are procuring laborers TO cultivate
their plantations. The system is sort Of
supplement to the Emancipation Act-a spe-
clmen of remedial legislation Which is alto
gether without parallel among the inventions
OF the age. The ingenuity which fell upon
this delicious device will probably discover
before long that "fourtecn years' mean an in
definite period in certain cases.

NEW ERA IN THE CULTURE OF WHEAT.

To the Editors of the Southern Recorder:
Having obtained from Mr.. Thomas Spearing
OF Abbeville, S. c., small quantity of his
California Wheat last summer, which planted
the first, middle, and last of October last; in
all had about one thousand stalks or branches
10 stand, which have will produce Mt least
twenty thousand heads, averaging over one
hundred and fifty grains to the head. The
grains arc very large, and of beautiful yellow
tint, rich and sweet and no doubt will make
the best OF -four have about seven square
rods OF ground sown with this wheat, and very
thin on the ground, which will make between
five and ten bushels, and would be over one
hundred bushels to the acre: and it is still TO
be admired that while most of the common
wheat throughout tins country for the pre-
sent season is greatly injured and some of
the crops entirely ruined with the rust and
smut, this remains free from either. Any per-
son wishing to procure this wheat can by for
wardng me five dollars, have put up for them
twenty heads which will produce, if well man
aged and sown on good soil, at least ten BUSH
els, and will be sufficient seed to produce II
or 1000 bushels the second season. | shall
forward head of this wheat 10 most of the
editors in this State, where any person can cx-
anime it for themselves, Persons wishing to
obtain this wheat, will, b. forwarding me their
orders as above directed, have any quantity
in proportion put up for them and disposed of
as they may direct.

This is the poem SO often praised and quot
ed by Old Sir Isaak Walton. That which
follows, by the same author, enjoyed grea
popularity for period, 1t was written OF
Princess Elizabeth, daughter OF James ]. II
Chambers Scottish Songs, it is attributed
without the least authority, TO Lord Darnley
said to have been written in praise of the beau
ty Of Queen Mary. Ed. Of the .Nc,o World
How happy is he born taught,
That scrvcth not anothcr's will
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his highest skill;
Whose passions not his masters arc
Whose soul is still prepared for death
Not ty ID unto the world with care
OF princes vulgar breath
Who hath his life from rumors freed;
Whose conscience is his strong retreat:
Whose state can neither fiattcrcrs feed,
Nor ruin make opprcssors great
Who envics none, whom chance doth raise
Or vice: who never understood
How deepest wounds are given with praise
Nor rules of state, but rules of good
Who Con doth late and carly pray
More of his grace than gifts to lend
And entcrtans the harsalcss day
With well chosen book or friend.
This man is freed from servilc bands
Ofhope TO raise, or fear to fall;
Lord of himself, though not of lands
And having nothing, yet hath all.

EARrmouAxs Ar Sr. DoMINGo.--The Bos
ton Atlas gives the following statement OF th'
account brought by the Brig Dirigo, concern
Ing the destruction Of Cape Hayden:
Unlike the usual results of similar calami-
ties, we regret to say, that the reality in this
case proves that the first accounts were not
exaggerated, and that the actual extent of tho
disaster is as represented. The town Of Cape
Hayticn is almost total ruin, but very few
buildings remained standing. The destruc-
ton of human life and Of property was irn-
mense. Three-fourths Of theenGre population
were destroyed.
Among the number IT those wlro persisted
on this lamentable occasion, we regret to be
compelled to record the name 81 Mr.. Charles
Carvalho, an eminent merchant Of that town,
distinguished for many excellent traits Of char
actcr and well known in this city, where he
has numerous warm and mourning friends.
The body of Mr. Carvelho was dug from the
ruins, and life remained for about eighteen
hours, when he expired.
The Brig Kate Thompson, belonging to
Messrs. B. c, Clarke s. Co, OF this city, arriv-
ed at Cape Hay,ien, OH the l4,h of May, and
took on beard and conveyed to Port au Prince,
the members of Mr.. C's family, with the ex-
ception Of one Of his daughters, who, with two
of her children, persisted with her father in the
general ruin.
The report that the town Of Cape Haytien
was submerged was not correct. The water
did not produce much damage. The effect Of
The Earthquake, in the demolition of the buiid-
ngs, was the principal cause of the disaster.
Great fears were entertained that owing to
he putrescent state of the atmosphere, tho
prevailing fever OF the climate would set in
md that those who had escaped the first eff
ects of the calamity, would fall sacrifice to
his its still more dreadful result
