advantage Of a full look at the other; but that
mutual glance at the table could not be mis-
taken.
Among the thousand virtues of my friend,
was that of the confnding spirit. Hence, his
morning segar was far from being exhausted,
when | was in full possession of this veritable
narrative of the mistakes of Nightp'
O'Bulkly dared not to visit the ladies' cabin
that day; nor would he have done SO on the
following, had he not learned, to his infinite
relief, that the charming stranger had left the
Darien, on her arrival at Memphis, during the
night.
HoRRoRs OF THE SLAVE TRADE. Dread
FIJI Picture. The bark Pons, whose capture
on the coast Of Africa, by the U. S. ship York
town, with 900 slaves on board, we have al
ready noticed, has arrived at Philadelphia, I'M
der charge of 1t. Cogdell, with four Portu-
guese prisoners. A Methodist missionary gives
thefollowing fiightful picture of the condition
of this SLAYER when captured:
"The decks were literally crowded with poor
abject beings. The living and the dying were
hudded together with less care than is bestow-
ed on the brute creation. Here and there
might be seen individuals in the last agonies of
expiring nature unknown, and apparently I'M
noticed. There was no offer of sympathy to
alleviate in the least their misery. Their COM
panions appeared detected, weighed down
with their own sorrows.
As came on the crowded deck, saw d.
rectly in front Of me one emaciated and worn
down by long suffering TO a mere skeleton,
pning away and apparently near eternity. |
looked overinto the Storage. The hot, mephitic
air almost overpowered me. At the foot of
the ladder lay two of the most miserable be-
ings | ever beheld. They were reduced, as
the one above named, so that their bones al
most protruded from their flesh. Large sores
were worn upon their sides and limbs, as they
had been compelled to lie upon the hard plank
composing the deck of the vessel
They lay directly under the hatchway, viii
ther they had crawled apparently to obtain
little purer air. One | thought dead, until by
some slight motion of the limbs discovered
his agonies were not yet ended. The other lay
with his face;toward me, and such an express
sion of unmitgated anguish never before saw
These were not isolated cases, but as they we're
those that were first noticed, they made perhaps
stronger impression upon my mind. In ano-
ther part of the vessel lay little boy pining
away, with two Others watching over him.
They. were not brothers, but had been ca ptu-
red from the same place. The had procured
bit of muslin that had probably been thrown
, away by some of the crew, and had placed it
under his aching head for pillow. For the
fourteen days that the vessel had been under
the charge Of the present commander, they
had been assiduous IN their care; one or the
other of them attending on him constantly,
and keeping watch alternately at night for this
purpose
Five had been thrown over, dead, this morn
ing, and many more We're apparently Just ex-
pired. And yet they tell me this is compare
lively nothing; and should Judge so, if the
statement of the plain can be relied on. He
says that the left some 400 or 500 more at the
factory that he had intended ts take with him
on the same vessel, but was prevented by the
proximity of an English cruiser.
