FAsnIosAmE DIVORCES IN ExGLAvD.-Thcrc
seems TO be a con petition between England and
this country, in the matter Of domestic dissou-
tions, as there 10 in the manufacture of domestic
goods. very curious case 10 now before the
House OF Lords, report OF which will lie found in
our columns. Two distinguished families are oon-
oened in it, and the history Of the affair reveals some
extraordinary facts with respect to the manners and
morals Of some Of the English nobility, in their
fashionable tours ON the continent, where, fire.
quently, titled ladies and gentlemen get into Ame-
ricsn society, ard eat fashionable American din
nerr, on the strength Of their titles only, while
their conduct IL fully known to their hosts, would
,hui them out from all such entertainments. Lord
Lincoln seems to have had full ground for COM
plant sgains, his lady, who has travelled, by the
name of Mn. Lawrence, in the company Of another
noble lord, and under his protection, residing in
various fashionable places, and, among the rest
at that posticsl locality, the Lake Of Como.
The intelligent reader will be surprised to see
how far, and with what an indifferent aud
chaiGnf air. such derelcons from the path. Of pro-
pnety can he carried, by those whose chief basis
OF re,pecisbliiy is in long line of ancestry. and in
transmitted honor. The Forrcs; divorce case, and
the Lawrence case, in this country, are mere triyi-
aiies, when compared with The evidence tnrnish-
ed BY this report before the House Of Lords; and
though Lord Brougham makes an important effort
to represent that the whole alleged ciiminaty is q
mere con,Tivance to bring about divorce. yet
the world will scarcely see through such spec
taclss ss his crrao lorlship uses when looking at
a series Of very peculiar facts. We had supposed
that we could get up divorce cases in this country
with some skill. but IL II can be proved that Lady
Line ON has been playing part Tor criticism in the
House OF Lords. We must confess ,hs, the English
nobility are more ingenious than our dealers ia

An Incident Of Slavery.
From the True Democrat.

Some thirty years ago resided with my pa
rents near q small village on the banks OF the
Mississippi about ninety miles above st. Louis.
At that time the principal settlements in the
northern portion of the State lay along the mar
gins of the two great rivers. Between those
lines of settlements there was wilderness OF
nearly hundred miles in width.
Two slave husbands and their wives, in the
region of Doone's Lick on the Missouri, set out
for Canada under the guidance of the North
Star. Their leader was an intelligent mulatto
about twenty-four years Of age. lie carried
Rifle, which was their dependence for provision
on their long Journey. They reached the Mis-
sissippi in safety, and all beyond was an Indian
country. One day more they expected to place
them beyond all danger from their pursuers.
But that night the mulatto's wife-a slender
young woman and almost white-was severely
attacked with bilious fever. Thus they were
detained several days until they learned that the
man -catchers were in the neighborhood.
The young man now saw that his wife could
not endure the fatigues of the wilderness. He
urged his friends therefore to effect their escape
and proposed 10 surrender himself to his pur-
suers as soon as they should be out of danger.
But they would not abandon him. AS escape
with the sick woman was impossible, the whole
party gave themselves up TO hunter, ana re-
questcd him to conduct them to the nearest VII

catchprs. In this they were not disappointed
They were Immediately lodged in Jail, while
consultation was held respecting the treatment
they should receive. Many of the villagers as
sombled, and with great unanimity recommend
cd severe hogging. This was urged as the
desert of the cupts, and necessary also to strike
terror into tho minds of the slaves there. A
tavern keeper in the place volunteered to apply
the lash. The poor mulatto was stripped, bound
to an elm near the Jail, and received one hundred
and fffy stripes toih a ra'o-hide. Then his la
cerated body was thoroughly rubbed cith COM
mon salt, and he was thrust into prison for th'
night. The next morning he was brought ou
to receive hundred and fifty lashes more. hi
shirt stuck fast to his excoriated flesh, and h
was slow in pulling it off. No threats coul
hasten the operation. At length one OF tn
fiends gave it sudden jerk, which was follow

Cuba and The Slave Trade.

Mr.. Baird, in his work on the West Indies,
says that there can be no doubt Of tho fact that
during the year ls4S, tic importation of slaves
into tho Islond of Cuba was carried on in full
vigor-so vigorously that the price Of slaves
fell, in consequence of the plentiful supply,
from $3.50 or $500, TO $3.50 or 5000. He says
tbrt it is equally notorious in the Island, that
the agent of the Queen Mother of Spain was
and Is actually engaged in the Infamous traffic
and it is moro than suspected that, directly or
indirectly, his Royal Mistress is a large partici-
pator in the heavy gains her agent realizes in
this trade in human flesh. The traffic indeed is
little short Of being lcgalized one. The
amount of dollars payable by the Governor,
being, If not fixed by law or order, as well un-
derstood as if it were so. The average dura-
ton Of the life of the Cuban slave, after his ar
rival on the Island, does not exceed seven or
eight years. lie is worked out in that time
His bodily frame cannot stand tho excessive
toll for long period, and after that his immor-
tai spirit escapes from tho tortured tenement of
clay.
The New Orleans Delta, alluding to the
same subject, says that the editor recently saw q
letteravhich announced the arrival at Cuba du-
ring the last month, of a barquc with seven
hundred and eighty negroes, at the town of
Mariel On tho 9th of May, a like number Of
negroes wcro landed at Cardenas. These car
BOOs pay inc buptun VI OuOd tlic
handsome sum of thirty nine thousand dollars
each-being at the rate of fifty dollars cach.--
Tho Delta adds:
"It is well known TO the whole world, that
the savo trade is carried on most extensively,
and inits worst form, by persons and vessels be-
longing to Cuba, and that the chief source of
the enormous revenue of the Captain General
consists in tho tax on the negroes landed by the
slave ships.
The necessity of eluding the vigilance of the
English and American cruisers, and the perils
accompanying the business, aggravate its hor-
rors. Small and swift vessels have to bo en-
ployed, upon which the poor negroes are pack
ed as close as herrings in a barrel. 1t is ne
cessary to have large number, in order that,
if the venture succeeds, the proceeds will be
sufficient to cover previous losses, and render
the parties rich at once.
Wc have heard persons lately from Gu
ba give descriptions of the cruelties to these un-
fortunate Africans taken to Cuba, in the slave
ships which surpass any that ever aroused the
eloquence of Wilberforco or Brougham."

forth from hundred wounds. He was bound
to the same tree and the Aogging commenced,
when he calmly said, " If you whip me again
shall die, and then what will my master be pro-
fitcdY Again he was saltcd, and then march
cd off. His poor wife was next stripped and
bound TO the tree, but hor Aogging was very
considerably deferred until she could get home.
The other two wcro deemed less guilty, and
their rccompense was also deferred.
During these barbarous scenes but one voice
uttered the language of humanity. A young
lawyer recently from New York reconstructed,
but was answered with the threat that he should
receive similar portion. At this his free blood
boiled, and no boldly de6cd them all. A move
ment was made as if TO seize him, but he stood
undauntcd with eyes flashing ERE, before which
their chivalry quailcd. l visited the spot
week afterwards--the chips and grass all around
wcro stained with large drops Of blood. Tho
bark Of the elm was deeply indentcd in many
places with the rawhide, which had sometimes
missed the man in consequence Of his writings
and all the marks were tinged with blood
My young heart sickenod at the sight-my tears
Howed-and before high heaven l vowed ctcr-
nal hostility to slavery.

Correspondence of The Tribune.
Southern Slavery, by an Eyewitness.
R1cnMop, va, Monday, MAY la


As was conversing with some Southorners
in Washington upon Free Soil, they expressed
q desire that should 20 South and sec Slavery
as it exists there, and l would como back freed
of all Free Soil notions. Ono from Florida
was particularly anxious that should go home
with him and he would show me a tame alliga-
tor, nine feet long, that he fed on terrapins and
dead niggers.. "Never costs mo anything to
bury q dead nigger," said he. L resolved to go
as far South this place, to see if there was so
much difference between the practice and thco-
ry Of Slavery. AS sailed forth this morning
to sec the place. almost the first thing that met
my view was a large house, surrounded by q
very high brick wall. Upon asking the first
passer by what it was, he informed me that it
was Niger Jail, where the traders confined
their slaves preparatory to taking them South.
lie very politely offered to conduct me through
it, which gladly accepted. have heretofore
supposed that tho term Slaves in chains" rs
used in the newspapers, was figure Of speech,
used comparatively. But here they were actu-
ally manacled, their feet chained together, sit

loathsome place ever saw. questioned one
as to why he was chained. lie said he had
been sold to go South, and he wanted TO see his
wife again before he went, and had ran away to

others.
In the female department there was very
pretty whito woman with two children. By
close inspection it might be seen that she had a
little African blood in her veins, apparently not
over onc-tenth, but the children did not show
the least trace of it. expressed surprise at
this to my conductor, as / had supposed Slave

was informed that there was no limit Of blood

My next move was to attend a slave auction.
Tho slaves of all colors from sooty black to
perfect white, were brought in and seated on
benches. Here thoy were subjected to most
particular examination. 1t was curious to SEE
the manner of the spectators in examining
