MORE CONTENTED SLAvES.-A considerable
disturbance occurred on the wharfs at Philadelphia
on the 9TH inst occasioned by the efforts of some
of the Quaker abolitonists to rescue some reputed
slaves, three women and man, who, having ar
rived from the West Indies, whence they had been
forced to fly by the disturbances, were on their way
to the Baltimore boat to proceed South They were
in company with the planters family in which they
had been laised, and the Quakers, assisted by
crowd of coIored people, attempted prevent their
going Oh board the boat. The planter denied their
being slaves, stating they were free to go if they
pleased but they evinced no disposition to leave,
preferring to remain with the family by whom they
had been reared rather than desert them in the hour
of trouble. The police were on the spot and pre-
vented any interference by the mob, who otherwise
would have taken them ashore by force. Just after
the boat had pushed off an officer came down with
writ of habeaS corpus, obtained for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the reputed slaves were not
detained unlawfulIy. The French family intend

ATTEMPTED SLAVE RESURRECTION AT PORTO
RICo.-The bark Cordelia arrived at New York
on the 9Th from Ponce. Porto Rico. which place
she left Oh the 9th of July Mr.. Pritchard, who
came passenger in the c., informs the Herald, that
on the night of the 18th July the inhabitants of
Ponce were thrown into a considerable state of
alarm, by the discovery of plot existing among
the negroes for grand instruction.
1t was discovered by information obtained from
one two negroes of an estate, the proprietor of
which, on ascertaining the truth of it, Immediately
gave notice TO the proper authorities. Three of
the ringeaders were arrested. two We're con-
demned to be shot. and one to the chain-gang for
ten years. The plan, they said, was an extensive
enc, and included all the negroes upon the south
side of the island, from Guayama to MayagueZ.
The rise was to be simultaneous. The time fixed
upon was the last day of the month. They We're TO
burn all the towns, kill all the whites, and make
second st. Domingo of the island.
Since the arrest Of the rngleaders confidence
was entirely restored. If the poor wretches but
knew their numerical strength, they would, at once
and forever give up the idea of gaining their free
dom by revolt, as out of half million of inhabi-
tans they number but AZ 900; besides, they have
no cOwardly Van SChoulton to tamper with. So
long as Prim is Captan-general of Porto Rico, no
such dsgraceful scenes We're lately eEacted in
st. Croi" and Martinique will stain their es-
CutcheOn.

ping; IA was the last rate paid for England

ued favorable for the coming one.

VIEWS OF THE . BLOODY TIMES'-Ihe IrlSh
Brigade, etc.-The London Times of July 2lst, thus
discourses on the signs of the times
If there is to be any government, any order, any
property, any safety in these islands at all-LOrd
Clarendon has done no more than the occasion re-
quired If question arises, however, as to the aC
tual dangers of the crisis and if the public wish to
know whether they ought to pat themselves in an
extraordinary fement and panic on the occasion,
we mnst reply that we do not think there Is much
reason for alarm, and that with the force at Lord
CarendOn's disposal, man of his energy, calmness
and skill, may be safely trusted to give good ac-
count of Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher & Co.
The movement is only formidable on the suppO-
stOn that it is left TO take its course.
Bat there are still some more menacing circum-
stances. We do not despise them. Here is one.
An " Irish brigade has been drilled, armed and
equipped at New York, for the purpose of assisting
the Irish against England. We should like to see
this brigade. We could almost pardon the insult
for the Irshism of the proceeding, and shall begin
10 expect transatlantic tribute of Goals TO Newcas
tie. Ireland has already, if we are TO believe Mr..
S. O'Brien, hundreds of thousands of able-bOdied
men, in fighting condition, under good officers and
prepared TO cope with her MajeSty's forces. ship
load of American sympathlsers will be a mere drop
in such an ocean. But it is not American sympa-
thy, it is English, that some people dread. There
have been some ugly disturbances in the north. A
Chartist has been rescued from the Bradford police.
Some flags eight or nine pixies, and a rude sword
were found in his house. Several women have
been very furious. The military have been called
out, and have moved about rather brskly. A
charge has been made and market place cleared.
But after all the coloring which the terrified pro-
vincial imagination gives to few harmless rows,
one fact comes out very plainly, that whether al
Bradford, at Ashton or at Liverpool, this is not
English but Irish sympathy. The persons appre-
hended last Monday at Bradford were generally
Irish, as their names betray. The Irish, whether
here OF there will have it all to themselves, and will
have to maintain their rebellion against all the rest
of the empire.
We are satisfied then, that there are no circum-
stances of very dangerous character. Nothing
but prOmptness is required. We could fancy that
we already saw in the froth and tuning of the Dub
lin Confederates, reported to-day, that they are
learning to be wary and vague They honestly
avow their reluctance to give Lord Clarendon what
they imagine the pleasure of their apprehension.
They only repeat the burden Of poor old Dan
O'Connell's harangues; and this is positively the
last peaceful effort they intend to make for their de-
lverance, and Cheu-but there they stop short, and
leave Us to conclude, ii please, that they meant
