has taken place within few days, about the will
of the American millionaire, McDonogh, who, it is
said, has left by his will sum of fifty thousand
francs to one of the most celebrated of our French

millionaire had been SO delighted with the lecture
of the novel entitled " LIE Medicn du Pecq," that
he had wished to prove his gratitude by donation
of $1,000 to M. Goslan. Mr.. Rives, according to
the can0ra, (puff) called on NJ Goslan, and gave
to him an order upon Messrs. Green u Co. Alas

DECREASE OF SLAvERY-The census Of Vir


II will be seen that the natural increase OF the
slaves ought to have been at least twenty per cent
In Maryland the facts are still more discouaging.
The total population Of the State is as follows:
412, 500 white; SO, IT'S slaves BIOS free negroes
The total increase in the State since 1910, is lO7,-
573. The free negroe population is now 73 los, in
1s40 it was 61,937, showing an increase OF II, 22l
The total slave population in 1910 was s9,7l9 it
is now only s9,l7s! Being an actual decrease Of
Sal in ten years
AT this rate both of these States will, in ten
years. be ready for abolition. 1t is proposed to
prevent the introduction Of these slaves into the
Southern States This was tried in Mississippi
But the people changed the constitution few years
after this clause went into operation. If Virginia
and Maryland find it to their interest to sell their
slaves, or remove them to more Southern latitude
it will be impossible to prevent the operations OF
the laws of trade. We think there will be danger
of over population Of slaves in our day.
