PRIVILEGES AND HARDsHlrs.-The aboli
tionists and mock philanthropis,s Of the North,
who pirate so much about the denial Of privi-
leges and the impositions of hardship on the
blacks.of the South, could have had practi-
cal denial Of their stories Tuesday morning
last, in this city. The trifling circumstanc
Of removing from the cage few blacks &C.
cused of being in an unlawful assembIage the
night before, called into the streets and around
the Mayors Office, thousands of idle slaves
who had been permitted to leave their homes,
| at busy hour in the morning, merely to gra-
| tfy their idle curiosity, and hundreds of
| them remained for hours, congregated around
the City Hall, when not one half the number
of whites could have spared or afforded to lose
so much time, OH so trfiing an occasion. The
number thus idle, and allowed to be wandering
in the streets, could not have been swelled
much, if their fellow servants had been on their
way to the gallows, instead of the Mayo Of
fee, charged with very slight offence. Even
many of our citizens, accustomed daily to
| such sights, were surprised at the very large
number allowed to run at large at that busy
hour of the day. The assemblage around the
City Hall was equally as unlawful and repre-
hensible as the gathering at the Washington
Hotel the evening before. The police used
their efforts to dispense the crowd, but so great
was it, that their labors met with but partial
success. Who maintains that the black popu-
lation Of our city have no privileges and enjoy
ments in common with the W bites I? Thatrace
have more idle time, and really see more plea
| sure than do the whites generally.
| CORRECTION OF AN ERRoR.-In our article
upon the subject of warehouses, Yesterday, we
said, "the profit to the State, from the Public
Warehouse, has been, we learn, for several
years past, little or nothing" Our inform am,
it seems, was mistaken. The Public Ware
house paid into the Treasury. at the end of its
fiscal year, beginning 1st October, 1851, and
ending 3Oth September, 1852, $4,000, clear of
all expenses that is to say, the interest on
$4,000. The revenue derived from this
source, depending upon the quantity Of tobac
co raised, is, of course fuctuating. Some
times as much as 81 500 have been paid in at
others, not more than $4,000. The Inspector
thinks the last Is years, taken together, will
| exhibit more than six per cent. on the original
| cost.
THE GooDALL FAMILY.-This gifted must
cal family have arrived in our city, and will
| i've their first concert on Monday evening, as
per advertisement. Master Nicholas Goodali,
| who lis II years of age, we learn, is a musical
| prodigy. When6 years Of age, he played in
| the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra. Wher-
ever this family have given concerts, they have
| received werm and merited encomums.
| MENAGERIE AND CIRCUs.-A. Turner &
Co.'s Menageries and Circus will be opened
this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and this evening,

| troupe is among the best in the world, embra-
cling N. B. Turner, the celebrated six-horse
| rider, and many other daring equestria The
Clown, J. W. Myers, can kick harder, Jump
higher, squat lower, run faster, leap fur ther
dive deeper end come out dryer, than Samuel
Patch, Esq. himself and his budget Jokes
is exhaustless.
