seat Of government in New York:

From the Louisville Democrat.
Fugitive Slave Law.

Several attempts 70 arrest fugitive slaves OF
late DISCOURAGE the hope that the law will ever
be executed in the free S,ates,a at least in some
localities. AT Buffalo there was failure, but
unattended with violent opposition to the law.
The escape of the slave was under the forms OF
legal proceedings; but at Christiana the master
was killed, his son perpaps MORALLY wounded.
At Syracuse, New York, mob rescued the ne
gro from the hands of the officerE-the United
States marshal wounded. The whole commun-
ity seem to have been engaged in the outrage,
and appear to congratulate each other on the
success of the mob in resisting the law. In this
condition OF things neither political party in New
York seems disposed to do it's whole duty. The
w aigs declined all promises, direct or Indirect
except that the laws Of the United States IN
general should be executed, whilst the tone Of
the Wing press is almost wholly such as to Gre
ate sentiment in the public mind which rem.
ders the execution of the law impossible. This
same party took care to assert the right OF agi-
ta,ing the Fugitive slave law, and urging its re-
peal.
The Democratic party, whilst they congratu-
lated the country upon the compromise meas
ures, evidently have not the control OF public
sentiment or this subject. The fugitive slave
law will be but feebly supported; and its exc
cution is left t. the tender mercies Of the higher
law faction. The provisions of tho Constitu-
ton ale plain-plain as the law itself-and it is
practically repudiated at some points in two OF
the largest States of the Union. Some who
connve at this state of things, nevertheless, are
clamorous for the Union. The hypocrisy of this
is bad enough. Men who claim to be friends
of tn. Union, whilst they leave one of its condi-
tons to be trampled under foot, and even chuckle
over the outrage, deserve the scorn and con-
tempt Of all honest men. We had hoped that
the sober second thought would have put an
end to these outrages, but our expectations have
been very partially realized Il will be vain to
contend for the Union in the Southern States if
these things continue. However small value
they may set on pecuniary losses, the open OBJ.
struction of the right guaranteed in the Consti-
tuition will not be suffered patiently. On this
subject there will be, sooner or later, but one
party South. The ground on which the friends
of the Union have urged and brought about an
acquiescence in the compromise will be destroy
ed if these things continue. Our reasons will
all be swept away. We say most seriously to
the people of the free States, that they may
think such proceedings as those at Syracuse
mere matters of sport, and political juggling on
this subject a small matter, but they are not so.
| hey are signs of coming trouble and calamity
over which humanity will have to mourn

art of fixing daguerreotypes upon glass which

AN EMERALD MISE-The Overland Chyoni.
Gle" contains Tho following interesting account
Of an emerald mine in Egypt: " It appears that
the existence Of an Gun raid mine on Mount
Zabalah, situated on an isle in the Red sea, has
long been known. II had been worked BY the
Pacha Of Egypt, hut the operations had been
stopped in the latter years of the reign of Me-
hen,et Ali A short time ago an English COM
pany obtained permission to carry on the Dig
gng, which is promised to yield them immense
wealth. Recently their engineer, Mr.. R Allen,
discovered at great depth, traces of a great
gallery, bearing about it evidence of extreme
antiquity. Here he found ancient instruments
and utensils, and stone with hieroglyphic in
scription on it, in great measure destroyed.
1t appears that in his time Belzoni, to whom the
world is SO much indebted for its knowledge Of
the wonders Of Egypt, had given it as his opin-
ion that this mine had been worked by the an
cient Egyptians and this discovery establishes
the soundness Of his remark. The confguration
of the gallery, and the nature and shape of the
tools found in it, it is said exhibit great skill in
the art Of engineering. From the inscription on
the stone, far as it can be read it is believed
that the laboring in the mine Of Zabarah had
commenced in the reign of the great Sesostris,

THE REvoLuTIcN IN MExIco The news OF

with deep interest For long while movements
have been going on, having in view the sever

to this, large numbers of adventures have gone

KossuTH ConrsG-The N. York Tribune, of
Saturday, Las The following information on this
subject
THE great topic for some days past has been
the arrival Of Kossuth, but there Is some reason
10 suppose that the general expectation with re-
gard 10 the nelrness ri that event may be doom
ed TO disappointment. We have seen letter
from Constantinople, which states that the in
tention was that the Mississippi should stop first
at Portsmouth, In order 10 afford Kossuth an OPP
portunity 10 meet his near friends in England.
This seems also to be confirmed by the unusual
anticipation entertained there that he would
soon arrive, and the preparations made 10 wei
come him. The letter further states that Kos
suth would leave Portsmouth for London, whence
he world soon proceed to New York. Amer
arriving hero, his plan Is said TO be first 10 visit
Washington and express bis thanks 10 the nd
ministration for lis Intervention and aid in pro-
curing his release; and next he will visit the cap
itals AMI chief cities OF the diffe: ent States.
"Ne learn rom the same source, that during
the stly of the Mississippi at Constantinopie,
previous TO the arrival Of the reful ees, the ar
ranrernent Of the cabins and state.rooms for the
reception Of the illustrous passengers had been
completed in the most comfortable and elegant
manner, under the oversight Of sklfsl French
upholsterer, while state-room and Kitchen were
furnished abundsntly and luxuri1usly. The even-
ing previous TO the reception Of the larty, the

Of festival and JOY The number Of persons

was as Der hs also had been prepared for "a
other refugees previously in Constantihople, who
designed TO attach Themselves TO Kossuths
party. II, as seems probable, the statements Of
this letter are correct as TO the stop at Potts

The jury came into court on Monday morning
with verdict of acquittal. There was deep
and intense excitement in the court, and great
crowd was present. The announcer ent of the
result was received with round of applause
the verdict being in accordance with public feel
ing, il not with law and testimony. A different
verdict was expected by many, and the happy
surprise created great joy among friends Of
the girl.
The Newark Mercury of yesterday morning.
says:
" The general conviction was, that the verdict
would be against the prisoner, and stiffness per-
vaded the audience as the jury were ushered to
their seats. They looked worn and fatigued,
having been cut sixty.two hours.
"The prisoner was in her slat, and eyi ently
deeply affected with her situation. Her stified
sobs were plainly perceptible, and her trembling
frame denoted that she too had suffered power
fully from the uncertainty Of her fate"
The Newark Daily Advertiser of yesterday
afternoon, has the following further particulars
The prisoner has been placed, and is for the
present under the care of Mr. Beach, the jaier,
though Of course at liberty TO leave whenever
she choo ses.
The reports that were circulated as TO the
standing OF the jury-to tho cffset that n ma
joritywere for her convcton-bad no foundation
in truth, and we are assured that from ths FIRST,
there was clear majority for acquittaI, though
during the IiPsi four hours Of their retirement
no vote was taken, and scarcely word said,
owing to the deep responsibility which each
juryman felt 10 be resting upon him.
The jury were supplied WITH food, by per-
mission Of the court; but upon their return,
their oountenances revealed the effects OF their
confinement and anxiety.
The court appointed commission, consisting
Of six physicians, 10 examine her case, 10 decide
whether she would be sent 10 the asylum or set
at liberty. The commission is composed Of
Drs. Darcy, Smith, Dougherty, Clark, Wood

this morning, and at the opening Of the court
this afternoon reported as follows:
