The Boston Slave Case.

The case OF tho fugitive Sims, which had been
in progress in Boston for several days, has been
Terminated, and the owner will perhaps be able to
recover him, at an expense which will exceed his
value. Tho interests of that commercial CITY
have been and are likely to be deeply touched, and
the over-awing influence Of tile military, COM
bined, prevented re.enactment of the scenes
which followed the attempt to reclaim William
und Ellen Crafts and Shadrnch. The same ele.
ments were distinctly visible, but were held in
check, and as the location Of Boston afforded fa.
c'ities for avoiding land routr, to this his recov
ery may, in part, be indebted. This miserable
specimen of legal acquiesence, which requires the
weapons OF despotism and pocket patriotism 10

CorRr WEEK.-The court of sessions
and common pleas for Chester District, held
its spring term session last week-Judge
Whitner presiding. The business was very
light, and of very unimportant character.
1t was decidedly the most uninteresting
court week we have had, since it has been
our lot to participate in such matters. The
only auit which seemed to elicit my interest,
or IN tile slightest degree to task the inge-
nuity and ability Of any of the gentlemen
of the bar, was m action in the case for
killing dog! The court adjourned early
on Thursday morning.
We have heard no expression Of other
than entire satisfaction with the manner in
which Judge Whitner discharged the duties
of his new position. His demeanor towards
the gentlemen Of the bar, the officers Of tho
court, and indeed towards aIl with whom ho
had to deal, was in the highest degree cour-
teous and affable.- Chester STANDARD.

H Baltimore is so infested with burglars
that instructions are given to shoot down every

breaking. What are the police about, that the
inhabitants must defend themselves as il they
were in an enemy's countrya These burglars
are, Of course, white men--perhaps they are
foreigners-but very probably they are Anne

caities will not necessitate, in this country, the
