years Of age, convicted of the crime of numbering
Stephen Brush, 10 years of age, took PLACE in the
Jail yard at Buffalo, New York, on the afternoon
Of the 1lth inst. When The ministers visited him
on that day, he was found fast asleep, apparently
unconscious that he had reached the last day Of
his existence. There was a large crowd outside,
but the scaffold was so arranged that only some
60 in the yard could witness the execution. In a
short address, he declared that he did not commit
the murder wilfally, and forgave the watchmen
and others, who he said swore falsely against him.
1t will be recolleced that the affair occurred at
night, and grew out of remarks of some young
white men returning from negro minstrel exhibit
ton, which Shorter and some other black friends
overheard and took exception to, and in lhe stfay

THE REY ABDUCTION CAsE.-1'his trial had

pers.- We have carefully examined the testimony
for the defence, and every other fact which has
been published in the newspapers, including the
conference of orr Consul (CampbelD at Havana
with Rey himself after he arrived at the Havana
and il leaves little doubt upon our mind that there
was no abduction, but that Rey went TO Havana
of his own accord, without force on the part of the
Spanish Consul Washington Union.

Without it, Interpolation would be grievous ma

Our opinions on this subject are not changed, but
rather confirmed by all The proofs we have received
or seen from Havana. They are with the Court Of
examination here, when they declared that nothing
was proved by the accusers.
We Nnow that in this we differ from men whose
Judgment we respect; and it is no pleasant task to
resist strong popular feeling, reused in cause so

These documents have been forwarded to Wash
