worst that can be expected that the two boys who
are admitted By the captain TO BE- slaves bu, who are

Of the blessings of freedom, for which they earnestly

that they have been cruelty treated during the voyage
having been frequently logged by the captain and once
stretched At full length upon gun with hands and feet
secured to receive the punishment In some cases Ds
Rochs lss been compelled TO nAct the blows upon his
fellow slave. Since their arrival in this port Ds Costa
has been knocked down by tho captain beaten upon the
face and head Tin he nearly blind snd then confined
In the store room under strong lock with bis hands
ted behind him for four days for three OF which he
deprived Of food company with Ds Rocha and all for
having dared ask the privilege to 60 ashore for short
time on sunday to see the town.
It's said that in case the slaves are liberty the
American government will be required to pay for them
This Is simply ridiculous
NEw.YoRK ISsTITUrloS FOR THE BLIND.-The
halEyearly examination Of the pupils commenced yes

The Institution occupies block the Ninth avenue,

There are over one hundred and twenty pupils OF
ver,us asos male and female with teachers careful Of
their health AMI attentive their arduous duties The
chapel is in the third story and there the pupils were
examined for four hours the exercises concluding with
vocal music by baud of blind performers. 1t twas

the more acute. The exercises tomorrow at p N
will be- quite interesting The chorusses of How joyful

multitude Of Angels by hundred and twenty voices
the Duets Solos Minuets and Msrches-the examine
ton Of the classes in History Philosophy, Rhetoric, the
Theory of Music and the American Consiituton-these
the awarding of Premiums and the reflections likely tC
arise in the mind beholdng little community living
among US In aword they shall look upon and yet
smiling swee,y and seemingly free of care are circum
