The news despatch from Rochester, this morning,
contains very curious and interesting inforna-
ton. In consequence of the meeting of tho Anti
Slavery Society in that place, which wculd very
nattTaly-dsaw together large aumbcr Of fugitive
slaves, theirmastcrs got out warrants, and yesterday
repaired TO the spot with the Intention of arresng
them. But they were not quite anek enough. The
black birds got wind Of the manteuvre, and
produced great excitement, but not sufficient
to deter Lola Montcz from taking the town
by storm in the evening, and perfectly upset
the Jesuits, wherever and whenever she finds them.
No Jesuibical oliton-humbugging monomaniacs
were present at least the despatch says ''she APP
pearcd before crowded and highly respectable au-
dience,'' that, of COURSE mock philanthropist
could have been in the house. But this is not all.

Reports Of the proceedings of the Anti-Slnvcry Sc
ciety ana Eclectic Medical Convention will be found
under the head of g Anniversaries. Rochester is
alive with excitement this week.
Late adveee from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
announce that large quantities of ice drifting
in the vicinity Of those islands, and that great
number of vessels in the Straits Of Canso were
hedged in, and some Of them would probably be
much injured. The ice had already cut through
and sunk the baig Manila, Mt Ship Harbor.
The report of the proceedings Of the second days
meeting of the american and Foreign Anti-Siayery
Society, watch ,wepublish to-day, is highly asaas-
ing, and no doubt will make readers laugh
heartily. There quite an effort TO get up an
excitement about anti-slavery novel writ
ten by Mrs. Stowe, Of which $4,000 copies
have been sold IN eight weeks, or 1000 per
day, at a dollar and half copy. The pub
fisher has realized $4,000 already, and expects
to make $4,000. The writer has made Only
$500, at the rate of fifteen. cents per copy. It
seems, after all, that worry pious people can read
novels wheDthey square with their views. The sale
Of s.his book is argued to be an evidence of ihc
deap hold the anti-Slavely sentiment has upon the
psope; but there viii be very few copies sold in
the Southern States, and it is there only that the
infxancc Of the book co;s have any effect. 1t seems
thatSnc Anti-slayery Society arc not satisfied with
tracts aod novels; they getting up agencies lee
turers and colportcurs-itineYant missionaries mis-
chief. We shall sec how it will all end But the
most amusing part Of The report is, that in which
the black livcred pitch into the white livered
abolitionis.s, and there can he no doubt that
George Downing, the oystermsn, was perfectly
right in his sesolution, and all TIE coored men are
right in what they say and think of the hypocri-
teal white Mas7orms Of the Abolition Society, who
affect such wonderful sympathy with the black
race; but when it comes to practice, they keep
them at arms length, and show their dislike
and prcjudces Rcre strongly than a-sosthcrn PLAN
Ser, who really lSTcs his slaves. We ssarn that
George Downing, of oyster notoriety, is to helm
vested as he ought 20 be, by his black majesty
Sealouque, with the cross of the Legion Of Honor.
This Is all right Readeg, turn to the report, ana
