The Slave Trade i'm Western Africa.
CURIOUS FACTS.

We have already alluded to the destruction by
the British, of the African town of Lagos. The
subject has arrested attention in the British
House of Commons, and some curious facts have
been elicitd. In June, lS49, Lord Palmerston
appointed gentleman named Beecroft, a Brit
ish Consul for certain places on the African coast
and instructed him to use every possible inf1u-
ence, to induce the native Kings and Chiefs to
abandon the Slave Trade Lord P. had already
written to King Dahomey upon the subject, and
the following is an extract from the reply:
1.-The king of Dahomey presents his best com
pliments to the Queen of England. The pres
ents which she has sent him are very acceptable
and are good for his face. When Governor Win
niett visited the king, the king told him that he
must consult his people before he could give a
final answer about the slave trade. He cannot
see that he and his people can do without it
1t is from the slave trade that he derives his
principal revenue. This he has explained in a
long palaver to Mr.. Cruickshank. He begs the
Queen of England to put stop to the slave trade
everywhere else, and alIo,c him to continue It,"
He says still further:
''The King begs the Queen to make law that
no ships be allowed to trade at any place near
his dominions lower down the coast than Why
dah, as by means Of trading ressels the people are
getting rich and resisting his authority He hopes
the Queen viii send him some good Tower guns
and blunderbusses, and plenty Of them to enable
him to make war. He also uses much cowries,
and wishes the Queens subjects to bring plenty
of them to Whydah, to make trade He wishes
to see plenty of Englishmen making trade al
Whydah.'
In consequence Of these negotiations, Lieut..
Forbes, British Naval officer, was requested
by the King TO visit him al Abomcy. his capitol

PARODY.

since. and which was much admired for Its truth
sol home tbrusts The following Parody Is e
9uslly as good
The son, he sits in the bar-room,
In place most convenient to stare,
He's clad in very fine broad-cloth.
And his face is covered with hair
He smokes and spits and drinks,
Ard drinks and smokes and spits,
The saliva he elects from his mouth
Ia much more plenty than wits
His mother goes clad in her cotton,
And faded and ragged at that
She's minus of shawl and bonnet,
But her son wears an elegant hat.
She's toilng and earning The Shlllings,'
So weariedly night and day.
While he at the theatre and tavern,
/. throwing them all away.
II. never gets up in the morning
If his mother calls him at noon,
He comes down cursing and swearing,
Because she called him so soon;
His ewes are sunken and red,
His checks are hollow and thin,
Caused by last nights debaucheries
And indulging too freely in gin.
He sits down to his breakfast,
And then finds fault with the hash;
HIS mother says, The grease 1t needs
You used TO oil your moustache.
At this he flies in passion,
And hastily leaves the room,
To the tavern he bends his footsteps,
And with wine dispels his gloom.
Prom hi. vest there bangles seal
That is set with brilliant red stone,
But the sparkling toy is only wax,
Tho this he never will own;
On his feet are patent gators
On his mothers there are none,
For all her honest earnings
Redeck the back Of her son.
At length he marries n lady
Who's as rich as ne thinks she's fair,
But finds her in truth as poor as himself
And then gives up to despair;
Two cheats make an even Bargain
Both are well mated for life,
She thought she had got rich husband;
He thought ne had got rich wife.

Scene In the Legislature OF Ohio.

The Buckeye boys in the Legislature, jealous
Ofthe great fame recently acquired in Congress,
kicked up little rough amusement for them
selves the other day.
Mr.. Beckel made a statement, which Mr.. Wei
Ter proved 10 be false.
Weller repeated the charge in most offensive
form, when Beckel, with much emphasis, told
Weller he WAS o liar! The seats Of the COM
ba;snts are about twenty or thirty feet distant
from each other. Upon this decided opinion of
oeckel being delivered, Weller seized sand-box
from his desk, and hurled it with all his power
At Beckel. 1t took effect upon his desk, and
Was smashed TO atoms. Beckel thereupon seiz
ed his sand-box and threw it at Weller, but did
not hit him. ..r-a.aE
Here the members, Sergeant arms, and Of
hcers Of the House interfered, and the fight stop
