uT BrsHop DELANEY met with very serious
accident, while proceeding in a two horse wa
gon from Batavia, n Y, TO East Bethany. The
n. Y. Advertiser says -
"The Bishop was riding with Mr.. Martindale
and the Rev Mr.. Bollcs. in a two horse wagon.
After they had started some person in the rear
cracked whip, and the horses became restive /;
one of them jumped violently. got astr'de OF the
pole Of the wagon, and commenced kicking
The Bishop arose from his seat and in the jar
ring caused by the rapid speed of the horses he
fell out and struck violently on his face, causing
a severe conclusion of the brain. He was taken
up entirely senseess and conveyed TO the near
est house, where everything possible will be
done to restore him"
Bv later intelligence we learn that he remain
ed insensible till Saturday morning, when rea
son again partially resumed her empire. and
strong hopes are now entertained of his ultimate
restoration to health and usefulness although he
is still in a very critical situation.

The labor of a single Locomotive is equal to

The labor of single Locomotive is equal TO
that of 66s horses, according to statistics recent
ly published. Trains OF cars leave Boston and
Albany every morning, each train carrying 100
tons of merchandise, running at an average rate
of l2 miles an hour, or 100 miles day, includ-
Lg stoppages. A horse would carry 1900 lbs
over the mountains 25 miles per day. Divide
the load of this one Engine by 1900, and the
number of horses for 25 miles in day is i67.
Four times this number, OF 66s could carry this
load 100 miles each day, Hence the iron horse
is every day, foul or fair, doing the work OF 6ss
horses. Ledger.

Slavery In the British West indies.

The "apprentice SYSTEM" as the new species
Of slavery is called which the British have intro
dnced in the West Indies. is exciting much at
tention, and calls for inquiry whether that GO
ve-nment is acting in good faith in its profes.
sions of a desire TO suppress this horrible traffic.
II seems that when SLAYER is captured on the
African coast by British ship she is taken To
Sierra Leone, the slaves are landed, and instead
of being settled in the colony as formerly. are
told that they must emigrate TO the West Indies
as "free Iaborers," to shift for themselves. Ii
they will consent to emigrate, the government
will give them passage gratis II they refuse,
they must hire themselves out at Sierra Leone,
at four pence or seven pence day when they
can find employment which is seldom possible
| If they try TO reach their old homes, they have
no means of supplying their wants on the jour
ney and ifthey escape the danger of being en-
shaved by the way, they have nothing to expect
but to be sold by their old masters TO the nex
SLAYER that arrives. They are virtually bligeC
to emigrate. Mr.. Wise, in one Of his despatche,
! to our government, says -
al submit whether, under our treaty with Eng
land, some inquiry should be made which will
elicit information as TO her mode of enslavins
captured Africans in her colonies. Is it not, il
fact, a part of the slave.trade to take them ava,
from their own country without their consent, Il
bind them out under system of apprenticeship
Are proper steps taken 70 guard their identity
and 10 prevent them from being enslaved for life
Ifthey may be held in bondage for term o
FIVE or ten years, why not for fifty or one hun
dred years, or any period beyond the duration Q
human life ? II is openly avowed here, fror
various quarters, that many of these apprentices
after being bound out, are reported tob deal b
their masters; their names are changed an
flesh marks are taken out, and they are trans
: formed into slaves for life. Has England, unde
her treaties with and pledges 10 the world,
, right to carry Oh system like this, which lead
to the direct encouragement ofthe trade she pr'
fesses TO suppress, and which, by fraud and cr'
city, increases its horrors, inhnmanities ar
n crimes ?"
