port in the Philadelphia Bulletin:
'Mr. Lee then asked that the slave be sent back
to his master. The Commissioner inquired whe-
ther he should make out writ of force? Mr.. Lee
replied no-as he would be very sorry to have his
client swear that he feared rescue when sucl
thing could be apprehended.
"The Commissioner made out a warrant deliver.
ing the fugitive into the custody of his master He
taken to Maryland at two O'Clock this after
"The whole affair passed off with little fuss as
common assault and battery usually does
before one of our magistrates. Members of the
several abolition societies were present, and some
of the most active colored abolitonists assisted r

TRIAL ALMIRA BeZELY.-The trial of this
young girl for the murder of her infant half bro
ther was continued from the 20h to the Odd instant
The Providence Journal says that the first witness
called for the defence John Bezely, the father
of the prisoner by whom it was endeavored to be
shown that her mind had been impaired by the
mysterious "rappings" of which she a me-
dunn. Being asked how the rappings affected the
accused, the witness replied "she limped little,
and said they affected her foot. never heard her
say that that affected her head"
Edward r. Mitchell, who one of the coro-
ner's jury, testified that he refused to sign their
verdict, because he did not believe Almira's con
fesson He did not believe her in regard to the
rappings, and thought if she spoke falsely of that,
she might of the poisoning.
John Alien, preacher, but of what denomina-
tion does not appear, swore that he had heard the
rappings of which Amra medium. He had
Investigated the subject, and stated several cir
cumstances, from which he concluded that the rap
pings not produced by Amira.
Samuel B. Halliday testified that the prisoner
stated to him that she produced the rappngs with
her feet and thumbs. She repeated this confession
in prison. Ii was in evidence before the jury that
the de ah of the child predicted at these rap
pings. His impression was, that the child died al
about the time predicted He had never discov-
cred any bewlderment in her mind in his inter-
views with Almira
Two physicians gave testimony as to the proba-
bic insanity of the prisoner and inclined to the
opinion that the constitutional changes at her Pc
riod of life, and the mental excitement occasioned
by the rappings, had impaired her
The counsel then eummed up for the defence,
after which the jury retired, and on the morning
of the Oath brought in verdict of "not guilty., on
the ground OF insanity.

This engine, though with an Inadequate battery,
generates and exers force of over six horse pow.

tations, about twenty cents per hour, or two dol
lars for day of ten hours There is no doubt,
however, that the cost will be reduced, and the eff

immense power of the magnet, as developed by
Professor Pages apparatus, exceeds all preconcep

THE SAGE OF KINDERHooK.-In referring to the
subject of contemporary memories, the New York
Euening Post says
I'VE have heard il suggested that Mr. Van Bu-
employing portion of the leisure, which
he has secured TO himself in his dgni6od retire
ment at Lindenwald, in making permanent
record of his most important political experiences
Such book would possess surprising interest and
afford to its distinguished author opportunity of
giving greater symmetry and proportion to the
fame of the last of the great men who have been
Presidents of the United Statee We fear how
ever that this rumor has no better foundation than
the universal conviction of the fitness of such a
work to occupy the leisure and to crown the lame
of that distinguished statesman. Whether Mr..
Van Buren, should leave any such memorial
behind him or not, of this there will be no doubt,
that whatever correspondence papers illustra-
tive Of public affairs he may have in his possession,
will be made accessible to such person or persons
he may think most competent to use them for
the public advantage"
