PRINCETON FUGITIVE SLAVE CAsE.-A colored
man-James Johnson-who was arrested in Prince
ton few days since in behalf Of Mr.. Thomas, OF
Mississippi, as a fugitive slave from Maryland, and
who has lived worthily about Prnceio Tor the last
five years, who was brought before Justice Lowry
on Monday afternoon, and demanded trial by
Jury, under the humane act of our Legislature, his
counsel being VIM. G. Alexander and Edward Arm
strong, Esqs Mr. Thomas was represented by j
T. Wallace, ESQ, of the Baltimore bar, and J. F.
Hagerman, Esq.
The counsel for the claimant objected that The
State law is unconstitutional, being In conf1lct with
the act Of Congress, which provides that ugltivef
be taken for examination before a magistrate, who
State has concurrent jurisdiction IN the case. They
cited the Pegs case, recently decided by the U. >
Supreme Court, which il was held proved the un
constutlonaity OF the Jersey act.
Justice Lowry, however, did not feel authorized
to set aside act Of the Leg slature, and decided
IN favor OF jury trial. The act itself imposes fin,
OF $500 upon any magistrate who shall refuse 1T
The trial was accordingly ordered on, and Mr.. J
T. Wallace being called as witness for the claim
ant unequivocally identified James as a slave be
longing 10 clalmant-that II had been his duty Il
wait upon witness on all occasions, and that h
was as sure OF his identity, AS oil that OF his owl
father, and could not be mistaken.
The counsel Tor James urged ths question OF iden
tty with much ingenuity, bnt the jury alter nall al
hours absence returne verdict tor the claimant
We learn further, by The Philadelphia Enquirer
that $500 has been offered for James freedom, bu
the claimants ask $3.50 He has been found 80 ex
cellen and Industrious person. that this effer ha
been made TO retain him in Princeton, where mucl
sympathy has been felt Tor him. -NetcWk DaI!

ELoPEMENTs.--These affairs are increasing in
number, and many more are on the tapis We have
various communications on this subject, which we
must publish ere long. One occurred in this city
on Thursday night, OF peculiar nature ; one is an
ucpated on the Bloomlngdale road, and in Cleve-
land, Ohio, terrific excitement has been occa-
stoned by such an event in the most fashionable
circles The parties, however, in this case, were
not without encumbrances, both having pledged
their faith TO others at the altar and the hero is un-
derstood to have nine pledges of the affection of
MS wife looking to him for guidance and support
There will be plenty Of work for the lawyers arising
out of this circumstance

NoAH's WEEKLY MEssENGER.-We gave this
young banting longer lease OF existence than it
has been able to live through. After two solitary
publications il has become embowelled in the Sun
day Times, whose fate is sealed from this
moment, that of ts predecessor, the
Daily Times, from its incorporation with
the Star. This is Noahs last kick, and we feel in
ordnately disposed to compassionate hini-dis
severed as he is from, and despsed by, all political
Parties and perfectly powerless with the press, by
which alone he could sustain shor..lived notoriety
which he so much covels. Poor imbecile, thou
hast had thy day.

Increase Of Steam in Boston Strike Among the
Sailos-Bn of M,aimy on board Sioop-of War
Boston-Prompt Action Of her Commamder-Mer-
chants Exchange Ne,cs Room
This city looks smilingly to-day. All appears SO
contented, so busy, clean, SO dull, SO green, SO
dry, rich, selfsuci, ut, that stranger cannot
but be pleased with the place for a week or two, if
not longer In the last few years it has increased
so wonderfully fast in railroads and STEAMSHIPS that
almost imagine that the whole city, and the
towns adjoining, are driven by an immense steam
engine, placed under the Common" with biz
anthracite coal fire burning still lower down, to
generate steam enough to keep all the machinery
IN tul and active operation. No one eau be dissa-
tisied with all this Yet one cannot help smiling to
see how quickly the Bostonans perceive the impor-
lance of their position, and with how much grat6-
cation they compare London, Paris, Liverpool and
New York, with their own little village. This,
however, speaks well tor their powers OF comparison
and perception.
There came near being bit of mutiny on board
the sloop-oi.war Boston, herarrival at this port
Yesterday. She has been absent over three years.
in the Chinese waters, and the term Of service of
most OF her seamcn had expired. hey, therefore,
felt little like working, and when the ship arrived
OH Fort Independence they refused to do duty.
This looked rather squally at FIRST but Capt. Long
proved to he man of energy and decision. He
armed every officer, and had them stationed on the
quarter deck. He then ordered all hands before
him, and asked them the cause of the difficulty.
Several replied that they were sick. ".Are your
names on the slck list" asked the Captain. "No,"
was the answer. "Then, below instantly, and re-
| port yourselves to the Surgeon" said the Com
| mander. Several went below, but most remaining
on deck, he again demanded why they refused to
obey orders. They then said that their time Of ser.
vice Qnree years. had run out, and they could not
work any longer. Captain L. replied in a few words,
and ordered every to his post under penalty of
being 6red uponif they did not obey him at once.
They thereupon went forward, the ship came up to
| the city, and the trouble blew over like small
| thunder cloud on summer afternoon
The greatest feature among strangers and the
commercial classes in this city, is the Merchants
Exchange, land the Merchants Exchange News
Room. The News Room, which is in the large
rotunda of the Exchange. is kept by Nathaniel
Greene, Esq formerly, postmaster of Boston. The
room is probably the best in the void, and is the
| grand depot for news and commercial information
in this section. We do not believe that news
| establishment ever started with arrangements
so perfect, and facilities SO great, as this one. All
the merchants here are highly pleased with it, and
| certainly they ought to be so.
! Nothing else. Yours, &c. H.

The HoSoRABLE GEORGE H. PRoFFIT AND THE
New YORK MKKcRANrs.-By reference TO the fol
lowing correspondence, our readers will perceive
that committee OF our merchants have rendered
10 Mr.. Profit public dinner, the occasion OF
his departure from this country as Minister TO the
Brazilian Court
The compliment is well-timed and we shall be
happy 10 witness a continuance of these manifesto
tons OF good feeling from our countrymen towards
their representatives, when embarkIng on impor-
missions. In the present instance, this mark of
distinction is conferred on one Of The " Guard
who, while standing up mantully in defence of the
President, did not neglect forget the interests OF
his country. No man In Congress has more boldly
aud faithfully sustained the commercial interests
than Mr. Profit. The Navy and our imperfect sys-
TEN OF light houses, seem to have claimed his early
attention. and forgetting all sectional feelings re-
presenting as he did inland region he has through
out his Congressional career ably advocated, and
by his votes sustained those important interests
New York may, therefore, with proprety return
her Acknowledgements for his good services and bid
him God speed in his mission, and in good time
safe return to his country.

Mr.. EDITOR
DEAR SIR -
have, from time to time, noticed with a good
deal Of satisfaction, your able observations con-
corning the immigration of foreigners and others To
the western country. Aud when we take into vie "
the Importance of the subject, and the large masses
that weekly lmmigratng westward, we see that
it is necessary that something should be- done TO ia
cllltate the journey Of the immigrant thltber.
To do this 1t would be essential TO state the ex-
pense Of going, the length OF time 1t would take,
and the cost from place TO place, which particulars,
If published and allowed 10 remain in prominent
situation tor short time, would, without doubt, do
an lncaculabe amount OF good.
And If this is done, the thanks of large number
Of poor people, who are in foreign land unable to
gather any information whatever, and perfect
gers to us, would amply repay you for any trouble
you might take in obtaining the aforesaid particulars
remain very respectfully yours,
