FREE NEGROES IN OH1o. writer in the Baltimore
Patriot, who is travelling in Ohio, gives the follow
ing account of the Randolph negroes, who it will be
remembered, were driven from the homes which had
beeh procured for them, by the whites:
''Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is a small
and rather dilapdated town. between this place and
Pequa. Along the canal the majority of the Randolph
negroes are located 1t was in the adjoining county
of Mercer that the large of land purchased
for their settlement from which they forcibly
elected by the white inhabitants. The condition of
these poor creatures is sad commentary the mis-
cradle policy of emancipating negroes, and allowing
them remain in this country. The majority of these
once Invaluable servants are worthless pests
upon the community among whom they are located,
and often want for the common necessities of life
heard several of them express ardent wish to return
to the shores of Roanoke again, where they had
plenty, and did not know what it to suffer for
want''

time past in efecting improved postal
arrangements or the route to California,
returne home In the Crescent City
Previous TO the negotiations by Mr.
Hobbie, no ar, arrangement had been made
TO enable letters mailed either in this
country, or In England, TO pass through
Havana without the Intervention of a
correspondent at that place, and the
same state Of things existed on the
Isthmus. The party must write TO
correspondent at Havana, or at Panama
to get his letter sent thence to its ulti-
mate destination.
The Captain General Of Cuba de-
clined to enter into any agreement on
the subject but Mr.. Hobbie succeeded
in effecting an understanding with the
British consul at Havana, by which
the American consul there is constituted
a postal agent and under certain regu-
lations for paying over the postage, to
the country which may be entitled to
IL, letters can now pass through Havana
as readily as from one state TO another.
A similar arrangement has been conclu-
ded with the British consul at Panama,
aifording every facility for correspon-
dence with persons in the Southern Pa
cific as well US in California. Mr.. Hob.
bic also re.organized portion of the
mail service in California. Daily mails

Notwithstanding that
hs was laboring under heavy cold,
Mr.. Russell's Readings on Wednesday
evening, (mostly confined to Shake
speare,) we're given with his usual spir-
it and power. The manner in which
ne looked. as we'll as spoke, King John,
in the scene where he would test HUI
berts friendship with the proposal to
deprive young Arthur OF his power to
harm him, drew repeated applause from
the audience; the scene between HUI
bert and Arthur was reclted with in
;cnse effect and the scenes in which
Dogberry figures in Much Ado about
Nothing were done to perfection. The
manner in which MIR. Russell brought
before ones ears and eyes the several
speakers in the conversations between
the two old Watchmen, their unje1
strappers and their prisoners, without
naming them from moment TO moment,
was admirable. Dogberry's husky,
wheczing, putting sef-consequontial
manner was represented with prodigious
effect, and his patronizing apology for
his old partner, verges, particularly the
conclusion swell all men are not un-
like alas, good neighbour !" was worth
going good way to hear.
Poe's description Of the Bells was post.
poned to another evening and Mr.
Russell gratificd his audience with the
announcement that he would on iuture
evening give Dickens argument Of
Buzluz IN the case of Bardweil vs Pick

forth such universal applause) we ad-
wise our readers 10 be OH the look out

THr STEAMSHIP ATLANric.-A cor
respondent OF Birmingham paper
says As many Of your readers may,
like myself have heen recently struck
with the immense masses OF engine ma
terlals which have on several occasions
been latterly drawn through the streets
Of Birmingham TO the railway, it may
perhaps interest them TO know that on
inquiry have learnt they were for the
Atlantic steamship, now lying at Liver
pool, undergoing an extensive repair by
, MeSsrs. Watt & Co. OF Soho Foundry,
Smethwick. Some idea may be formed
of the magnitude OF the vessel, and OF
the facilities Of the above establishment
for such an undertaking, when it is sta
ted that the wrought iron shafts and
cranks weighed at least twenty tons,
and the pedestals Of cast iron, for car
rying it, upwards Of forty TINS. From
the well known reputation of this firm
it is now confidently hoped that the ves-
sci will realize the expectation of it's
owners and those interested in transa,-
antic steam navigation. The saiing
OF this vessel for New York in the course
of,he ensuing month, will create an in
tense interest both in England ani A
merica, as It's career heretofore has dis.
appointed the sanguine hopes Of its spir.
tied projectors" The alterations which
have taken place in the Atlantic, will
render the vessel capable Of necommo-
dating 200 passengers, instead of l50.-
The Atlantic takes the place of the Arc
tic, and will sail on the 23d inst, the
Arctic following the week after ms an
extra steamer We believe il is in con-
temptation TO alter both the Ariic and
the Baltic, 30 as to obtain increased
accommodation for passengers but the
work will be executed on the other side
of the Atlantic"

The New BELL-TowIR.-.An iron
bell-towcr, TO be 100 feet high, is now

double the weight Of any other bell now
in the State. The foundation is laid IA
feet below the surface of the ground,
and is supported and braced with iron
shafts sunk in solid rock. The tower

concludes as follows -
do assure you that am so delighted
with my pot OF tea that have drank OF it
IA half 4 dozen times whilst writing this
article, and nearly exhausted the tea
pot. My black tea plants, since their
removal in April, have grown much
slower than the green tea plants. In
deed, the green tea plant is a much
more hardy plant than the black.
And then he adds the following post
script
kept part ofa pot Of my tea until
this morning, and took a tumbler cold.
II is most excellent and shade higher
colored than Hyson tea, But the taste
is superior to any China tea | have
ever drank, always excepting few
pounds from Archangel, which came
from overland from the North of China,
and which believe was cured by solar
heat. At any rate, it was, in my judg.
ment, the finest tea ever drank.

ExrEssiyE RoBsERY Yesterday
forenoon, between ten and twelve o.
clock, n robbery of $4,000 in gold dust,
was effected at the Adams House, In
this city. II seems that two brothers
by the name Of Dudley, and a gentle
man named Brown, who, we learn, ars
all citizens ofMaine, arrived here on
Monday last, after two years residence
in California, bringing with them some
thing under $4,000. They intended to
remain but few days before going
home. The money was all in one room.
Tie packages OF the elder Dudley and
Mr.. Brown, amounting to $300O were
carefully slowed away in carpet-bag,
and the rem inder, between seven and
eight hundred dollars, in Il trunk near
by. Everything was undisturbed ut
ten o'clock yesterday morning, when
the gentlemen left their room to look
round the city. On their return, few
hours after, they found the door forced,
the carpet-bag cut or torn completely
open, and the packages gone. The
trunk was not touched, an oversight,
probably, owing TO the hurry of the rob
Der. No clue is obtained as to tho
