The barque PosNs said to be of Philadelphia pre-
sents the most apfpang account OF slave-ship,the
number Of its slaves and still of its victims,

recently exhibited The bloodruns cold at the re-
citai. Never wasf more inhuman massacre (as we
may call it} perpetrated with more disgusting
city, and under the impulse Of the vilestavarce.-
This infamous Ode, whose horrors are illustrated
by this appalingR exhibition, calls loudly for the
strongest chastisk kement. Some signal examples
must be, made lhnder the act of Congress The
JUSTICE, the hukgaanty of the naton--the spirit of
me age cries tloud for vengeance; and upon whom
can It more roperiy fall than upon the present
perpetrators& The act Of May, 1920, condemns

United States for the district wherein he may be

hesitate to believe for one moment that the Navy
Department will do its duty in the premises, and
the judicial authority of the United States will, by
the most decided legal measures, ayenge the vic.
lated laws of the country upon these pirates and
and murderers, if this case should fall within the
puryew OF the law The evil ought to be arrested,
II possible, by the punishment OF such cold-blood-

make to the humanity OF the people of the United

Our Philadelphia correspondent writes US that
othe Pons, as well as he horrd traficin which she
was engaged, was not in the hands of citizens OF
this city" The Philadelphia United States Gazette
has this paragraph
.We are informed upon good authority that the
bardue Pons was sold at Rio de Janero as trader,
by her ownets. and that all interest in her on the
part Of Philadelphians, ceased some time since.
Her former commander, Capt Graham, under the
Philadelphia owners, was, at last advices, lying
sick at Rio de Janeiro, and intended to return to
the city by the first opportunity He could not

taken foi1 hundred more on board If he could have

The stsnch from below was so.geat that it2Vas

many died, or rather were found dead, the morning
after the capture. None but an eyewitness can
form conception of the horrors these poor crea-
lures must endure IN their transit across the ocean.
Iregret TO say that most of this misery is pro-
duced by our own oountrymen; they furnish the
means Of conveyance in spite of existing enact
ments;and although there are strong circumstances
against Berry, the late master Of the .pons," suf
ficent to induce me to detain him, If should meet
with him, yet fear neither he nor his employers
can be reached by our presentlaws. He will no
doubt make il app ear that the "Pons' was beyond
his conttol when the slaves were brought on board
Yet, from the testimony Of the men who came over
from Rio as passengers there is no doubt the whole
affair was arranged at Rio between Berry and Gal
lano before the ship sailed. These men state that
the first place they anchored was at Onn near the
river Lagos, in the Blight Of Benin; here they dis
charg ed portion of their cargo, and yeeeiued on
board number Of sogsheads or pipes filled Nth

tier Of casks containing spirits were placed over
them. They uere then Informed that the pessel

On their arrival at the latter place the spirit was
kept on board until a few days before Berry gave
up the command, covering up the water-casks in
order to elude the suspicious of any cruiser For
twenty days did B erry wait in the roadstead of
Kabinda, protected by the flag Of his country, yet
closely watched by foreign mar-of-war, who was
certain Of his ntention but the instant that cruis-
er IS compelled to Withdraw for few hours, he
springs at the opportunity of enrichng himself and
owners, and disgraces the flag which had protected
him.
As we are short-handed, have shipped those
men, much to their qualification; who came out as
passengers in the Pons from Rio to Kabinda, in
der that their testimony may be taken should Berry
be in the United States on our return, and commit
ted for trial. I have landed the balance Of the
prize crew here, with the exception of one who
die d of coast fever few days after he came on
board this ship.

the door to the conversation which was going on
in an adjoining ROOM We have heard ola Right
Reverend Father demanding, after dinner, at the
table of his host-who was one of his clergy
what he had heard said about HIM, and putting
the said presbyter upon his cdn0nicdl obedience, be-
cause he felt reluctance to let the bishop know
that he ,cas the subject of evil report Here, how
ever, we have the Bishop of Vermont himself,
bearing testimony to his own gossipping propen-
sites. The greater part Of this correspondence is
made up of twaddle and false reports, to which
he had Gstened-and, moreover, accredited, TO the
evident injury and wrong of his estimable Presby-
ter, for the Bishop, in consequence OF certain ru-
mors, writes to Mr.. O'Callaghan, the Roman Ca
tholic priest, of Burlington, who replies as fol-
lows
In your letter Of yesterday handed in the Post or
fee YOU aude contradictory reports that have
reached your ears in regard to the religious position of
reverend gentleman in the neghborhood and desire from
statement Of the Public reports especially in
Yankee Land " fnotced by would ever keep us in
troubles and for me- have long since resolved to let
low that il foreign to clerical duty to take any part
which silence confident will be construed into
any disrespect towards your paternity % whom always
hold in due veneration" %
He, Bishop Hopkins, had heard that Mr.. O'Calla-
gan was to baptise Mr.. Hoit-his hair stood on end
he writes to the priest to know if it be SO and
what rebuke he receives! May he profit by il!
He next hears that Mr.. Holt had purchased six
copies of the Ursuline Manual; and away goes his
he did with them; and threatens the vengeance of
the church, if Mr.. Holt does not tell him Mr..
Holt may have bought them for shaving paper, or
for some other such purpose, and very properly,
we think, refuses to crafty the Bishops curiosity
in matter which does not concern him. Hence,
after protracted correspondence until the end of
March, when the Bishop finds out that his man,
is of sterner stuff than to be intimidated with
his threats of prescription, accommodation, and
what not, the whole is thrown into a pamphlet
the Bishops favorte weapon against Romanisln
1t is called pastoral letter evidently showing the
Bishops modification and chagrin, that he could
not mako ont better case against one, whom he
considers disobedient son of the church, and
whom he would delight to punish. The whole
evinces spirit of tyranny and usurpation which
can never be tolerated in the nineteenth century
of Christianity, and, in short, forms part and
parcel of the Onderdonk persecution.
Mr.. Hot we have reason to believe, is as far
from Rome as is the Bishop of Vermont from the
Deanery of Trinity Church, New York, prefer
ment he felt anxious to have created, and was
most DESTROYS should be conferred upon his own
ambitious head But it takes two to make
bargain and it will be long before such wish, or
any other, respecting this diocese will be consum-
mated by the church in favor OF Bishop Hopkins.
