SLAVE TRADE IN BRAzIL.-The slave trade, from
oil accounts, is carried almost as extensively as
ever, between Brazil and Africa. The dealers in
Brazil first send vessel with goods, which the trad

monds," as they are called. Small crafts used,
and vessel of fifty tons often carries many as
$50 slaves, at from $50 10 $50 EACH Baltimore
built clipper, the Henry Clay, is said to have made
eleven voyages 10 Bahia. (where there dozen
vessels engaged in the business) in four years. and
cleared 100000. The traffic is illegal, but The Bra
lillian government wnks at this abuse Of the laws.
The goods sent out to purchase slaves with, gen.
orally of British manufacture. and composed of mu-
nitions of war, rum, and things of like character.
Formerly, by treaty with Great Britain, France
and the United States. Brazilian vessels engaged in
the trade lawful prizes but that treaty expired
two years since, and has not been renewed. The
English charged with taking slaves into Rio de

That Better Land.
BY JOHN w. CHORD.

BY JOHN W. CHORD
That Better Land--where is il, say?
In The bamy East, far, far away
Where Eden smiled in the spendors gwen,
To the glories of newborn Heaven!
Or does il lay in the distant West,
Where the sun at goes down to rest;
And nature rests in her mountain hume,
Fenrfuly silen,-grand and lone.
Or does il bask in the burning ray
Of the tropics long, effuIgent day?
Is the cline OF love and passions hot,
That Better Land-lhat Eden spot?
Or is it famed by the icy breeze
That sweeps DER ever frozen seas?
Does the nursing home of the driving storm,
Embrace that land in its realms forlorn
Mo- It's not kissed by the north wind breath,
Whose lullabys is the song Of death;
Nor is il scared by the tropics blaze,
Whose brightness is but whitening gaze
Nor is il hid in the deep recess
OF the lone and silent wilderness;
Where whispers OF the breeze are all,
That may, on the ear Of silence, fall.
Nor does it smile in the soft halo
Which sacred scenes and relics throw
Der the balmy East, where FIRST and long,
Shone the lights Of science, art aud song.
Where the dying christian turns his eye;-
Where the spirit points her wing to fy =
Where the pilgrim strikes from harps of gold,
Sounds and songs that may not be told.
Where change and death no more shall sever,
Through thel ong ages of forever,
One kindred tie,-one wreath Of love,
Rebound in that bright world above.
IT'S there, lit is there,-Ihat land Of rest
That home of The everlasting blesi,
And we all may hope, through faith and prayer
For eternal youth and beauty there.

Severe on the pope.

The Rev. Joseph Wolff, the well known enthusas-
tic and intrepid traveller has addressed short letter
to the Roman people, with whom he claims the atni-
ty Of early education. in which the following Pungen
sentence occurs:
Our blessed Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, was
led to the Peter, whose successor the Roman
Pontff affects to be, drew the sword and struck
servant of the High Priest. and smote off his ear;
and though the sword here drawn to save the life
of the Lord from Heaven himself, the Lord said to
him, "Put up again thy sword into its place." But
what did Plus TX! He leaves his children at Rome
like coward, escapes to Gaeta. and thence he ex-
hors his children in France to unsheathe the sword
against his children in Rome; not for the purpose of
saving either Christ or his Church, but for relaxing
paltry temporal dominion, which his predecessors
in dark ages have grasped and which he basphe-
mously calls The patrimony of Peter; and after Gen.
Oudnot regained it for him, he sends his cOngratu-
lations.
