THE Slave Case i'm New Work

ZINE slave case Ala Ncw AOfK.
The case of the eight colorcd per-
sons from Virginia, which for several
da9s mud excited very general interest
IN New York city, was decided ON
Saturday morning by Judge Paine, in
Il Chambers, ordering them to be dis
charged. The case is one Of tie most
important, both as to legal principle
and personal rights, that has lately
come up for determination. The pre-
ccdents which had been cited in this
case were reviewed at some length
ltappears that the provision of the re-
vised statutes Of New York, under
which the persons in this case could
have been held, was abolished by an
act of the Legislature OF that State in
y bS4l, and that rs regards the rights
OF these slaves and their master, they
were thereby made absolutely free.
But the following article from the
journal of Commerce, written and pub
ishcd before the decision of Judge
Phine hab been rendered, demonstrates
clearly, we think that the statutes OF
New York had nothing to do with the
present case. We regard the decision
Of Judge Paine as indicative Of y con
tinucd spirit Of hospitality, even in con
servutive New York, to our institu-
tions, spirit which many supposed
was Quilted, ifnot finally cxtinguishcd,
by the compromise measures. An ct.
fort was made to get the abolition
cnt tn. . Il ,;,
Of error could be sued out, but the
counsel refused to consent, and the nc
grocs were borne away. The case is
clearly stated in the tullowin. article i:
"Acasc in which new principle is
involvedi is up for decision before Judge
Paine of this city, Judge of the Su-
perior Court. 1t is not the ordinary
case of Il slave broufiht here by his
master with intention. To retain, in
which it has been decided that the
slave co instant becomes free, but Il
case in which slaves on their way from
one State to another are being taken
by their master through a free State as
matter of necessity. We say nccAs-
sity, not i'll its absolute sense, but in
the sense in which it is used by the
Constitution in the connection in Which
! it is there used. The Supreme Court
have held that it means II convenient
necessity. The slaves we're or their
way to Texas, and in order to avail
themselves OF the commerce Of this
port, they were brought here, instead
of being taken to Texas BY circuitous
and expensive land route. 1t is the
precise case supposed by Chief Justice
Shaw, of Massachusetts, but as to
which he said he pronounced no opin-
ion, in an ordinary case in which the
slave was brought to Massachusetts to
remain. Tho care ct Chief Justice
Shaw in separating the case supposed,
from the case decided, clearly shows
that he thought there was difference
between them, perhaps wide differ
ence, growing out of those relative
rights and duties that apportain to the
comfy of nations.-rights and duties
that should be more carefully consider

Jenny Lind Insane.

y strange rumor, which we can
scarcely credit, has just found its way
into the newspapers in reference to that
charming singer JENNY LIND, now
Madame GoLDscIiMIDT, who so lately
created an enthusiasm in this country
unparalleled in the history OF public
performers. The story goes that un.
fortunate differences have sprung up
between JENNY LIND and her husband
and that her troubles have broken her
heart and rendered her insane.
~ correspondent of the Woonsockct
az. ~ Iafriof tells tho story and
gives Madame SoSrAG as his authority
who visited JENNY LIND almost daily
previous to leaving Europe. Despite
her extreme scnsitivcncss, the Swccd.
ish Nightingale has an unusually well
balanced intellect, and there is scarcely
enough of silly romance in her disposi.
tIon to- render her reason dependant
upon an untroublcd current Of domestic
enjoyment. We discrcdit the whole
story as extremely improbable and
not sufficiently authenticated.
