SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE. Judge Jones, OF

Biddle House, proceeded with a friend TO
Chatham, Canada, on a pleasure trip, and
while there, they were assaled 10y an armed
mob OF negroes in the most brutal and cow
ardly manner, without the slightest shadow
OF provocation as we are informed. Such
treatment toward two of the most respecta-
BILE citizens of the United States, at the
hands or with the connivance OF the Cana
dian people, is an insult of the most dlscred-
table character, and if repeated, will tend
greatly to disturb the harmonious relations

COLONIZATION TRINIDAD. n. w Pollard,
ESQ.,. an accredited agent of the Colonial Gov
eminent of Trinidad Island has been in Balti-
more for some time past, with view of ascer-
tanning if the / he blacks of Maryland could be
induced to emigrate to that island, where, it is
represented. constant and profitable employ
ment can be given them they enjoying at the
same time all the immunities and privileges of
British subjects. The advantages of change
Of situation have been urged upon the free
blacks, but strange to say, there is determined
hostility on their part to any thing of the kind.
Taking into view the hardships imposed on
free blacks by the restrictive laws of Maryland,
and the promised enjoyment of the liberty
guaranteed to English subjects with the pros
pect of remunerative and honorable employ
ment. it seems strange indeed, that this class
of people do no; at once accept overture that
would certainly better their condition.

shower lasted tive or three minutes. The
pieces were from the size Of pigeons egg
up 10 that of an orange-lhe heaviest per-
haps weighing three ounces. No birds were
visible in the air al the lime. Specimens ol
this meat, which is apparently beef, were
preserved by Major Allen and the surgeon OF

hours after it fell showed a portion of small
blood vessel. some of the sheath of muscle
and muscular fibre. 1t was slightly tainted
The ground on which the shower fell was

BRITIsH AND AMERICAN SAILs-Captain
Matson, R. n, writes TO the London Times
that the superior sailing of the America is in a
great measure due to the excellence of her
sails. He says:
1.-The America is quite as much indebted
for her victory to the cut and make Of her sails
as to the form of her hull, if not more Du-
ring the trial of the ODD was on board stea-
mer on the weather bow of the America, in
company with several of my brother officers
1t then became question among US whether
that vessel had any mainsail set or not, which
could not discover with the aid of spy-plass.
So completely was the sail covered by the
mainmast that not particle of it was visible
there was no belly and the gait was exactly
parallel with the boom; in fact, it stood like a
board. | have no hesitation in saying that
such a sail has never yet been made in Eng
land; at least, during my long experience /
have never seen one.' ...-..
1t is well known TO nautical men that the
British sailmakers adhere to the antiqnated
style of "bellying" sails. The America un-
doubtedly has better sails than the English
yachts, but she also has better model, es-
pecially for sailing in rough sea. a.4
. The South Boston Gazette says that
among those shot at Havana was George A.
Graham, who formerly worked in Adams ma
chine shop. He left, as many machinists do,
to spend the winter in Cuba, and afterwards
went to New Orleans, and was next heard of
as shot at Havana. A short time before he
left he was married, and leaves wife annd one
child. 1t is also stated by the Journal that
Willis Little, who formerly kept periodical
depot in State street, Boston, was among those
shot.
