TIE BOSTON SLAVE CASE.

We on Saturday last announced the depar-
ture of Symmes from Boston at four o'clock Of
that morning, in the brig Acorn, for the home
Of his master, at Savannah We had previously
apprised our readers that the decision Of Judge
Woodbury. authorized this. The only fear that
existed in relation to the matter was, that the
laws, thus interpreted, would be resisted in
their execution by portion Of the people of
Boston.
The papers of this morning contain ample
narrations Of the whole affair, and structures
upon it; yet we believe its Importance de-
mands that we should supply a satisfactory ac-
count Of the closing scene of the interesting
drama:
BosToS, April 10. 49, After the decision of
Judge Woodbury., last night, that there was no
ground to interfere with the certificate Of Mr..
Curtis remandimg Symmes, preparations began
to be made to convey him back to Georgia.
The brig Acorn had been hauled to the end of
Long Wharf, having been previously fitted up
for an extra number of passengers.
During the night the Courthouse Square was
filed with crowd OF persons, who were collect
cd in knots, discussing the matter, and occa-
sionally hooting at tho officers There was,
however, but little excitement manifested. The
Abolitionists kept close watch upon the pro-
Ceedings in and around the court house
About four o'clock this morning large body
Of city watchmen, who had been on duty during
the night, were brought to the neighborhood Of

EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL BE,

EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL BENEFITS.
While the signs of improvement are so mani
fest among us, we should be admonished to see
that notions of expedeucy in laying pavements
and grading give place to fixed rules Of sciences
that squares and streets may be improved in
accordance with the general good.
well-meaning member of one of the Boards
of the City Council now deceased, in n spirit
of accommodation actually proposed, in redu-
cling the grade Of an important street, to cut
down one-half of the width of the street to a
level, to correspond with the streets that
crossed, and thereby leave the pavement where
it had been enormously placed, several feet
above proper grade, to be approached by in
clined planes of pavement at either end. The
Councils, of course, disregarded all such no.
tions, and ordered the grade to conform to
those established by the Government officers
Much talk was expended about the liability of
the Corporation to damages, when it was dis
covered that not only was the grade too high
but one-half Of the width of the contiguous
pavements had been appropriated to walls and
fences! Of course all idea Of damages then
vanished into "thiu air" But that case only
one of many, serves to show that the laws re-
quirements as to the grades of paycments and
streets, should be the only rule of action
