Slave Trading.

This important branch of commerce is re-
nnrkably brisk Just now, MS all the southern
prices current testify. The following from
the Anti Slavery Standard, we cut out for
insertion three or four weeks ngo. hut it is
rs good now as then.
Just now information on this topic is Of
essential importance, as the tendency IL, in
times so prosperous, To over-tTading, and the
price of good men and women-we mean
good as relates TO the shnmbles-is much
enhanced. The farther South we go, the
higher the price; aud rs that will increase
the Interstate trade, so il will effect the price
of different staples-here for want of labor
ers, there because they are so high. The
EeAricksbwgh (Vd.) Herald, for instance,
says That the negroes belonging to the estate
OF ihe late MIR. Wexford were recently sold
at auction-soIne forty there were-and that
they only brought very fair prices" "Alh-
letic men" seemed to range about 5000 one
mother and her six children--it is not stated
whether they were sold together, but that is
of no oonsequence-were sold for only 81,
600; aud another mother with two children
for s 800. In South Carolina, the market
seems better. The Saluda Manufacturing
Company, at Columbia, has sold fits hands,
recently, and the average was S569, while
"boys" from l6 to % brought 5000 to s ,000i
and at the same place, at sale to settle an
estate, "young women" were sold as high as
from $3.50 TO $50 The editor of the Lam
caster Ledger attended sale lately, and was
astonshed At the high prices Zone black
smith brought s ,435, aud the average was
full as high as those just mentioned. This
editor himself poor man has lately had to
pay 81 900 for a woman. AT WinShoro,' the
case is worse yet; at a large sale made by n
Commissioner in Equity, where, the Register
of that place says, the negroes were only
tolerabIy likely"--the reader must guard
against any confusion of ideas from taking
these terms in the ordinary sense--and yet
averaged about $500; aud in one instance n
field hand brought 81 ,63O; but then he iOdS
likely
As The plice is higher in South Carolina
than in Virginia, so, doubtless, the rule holds
good as regards South Carolina aud States
farther South. Indeed, we observe by one
report that, at Montgomery, Alabama negro
fellows not unusually likely" were sold Oh
the Sd inst, for nearly 81 300.
We, of course, do not pretend 10 give the
state Of tile market fully, as that is rather out
Of our line, but these few items happened to
come under our notice, and we comment on
them for the benefit of our few commercial
readers. And we submit whether purely
commercial paper, the Journal Of Commerce,
for instance, or the Boston Courier, might not
greatly enhance It's value by collecting facts
III relation TO this trade. Perhaps il might
do good, too, in iamiliarizing the public mind
with the buying and selling Of human beings,
about which a slight degree of prejudice

The Slave Trade In Cuba.

The attention Of Lord John Russell has not,
it would seem, been directed in vain to the
revival Of the African slave trade from Cuba
The admiralty, VIC understand, have on his
lordship's instruction ns Foreign Secretary is
sued orders for the despatch of some swift
steamers to the coast of that island, to SEQ
whether if it be not possible to check in the
commencement, the renewal of the infamous
traffic in human beings, and at all events to
show the Court Of Madrid tho sense which
England entcrtains of tie scandalous manner
in which the Spanish colonial authorities dsrc-
gard the dictates of humanity and the obliga-
tons of treaties.
Driven from Brazil, the great slave dealing
| capitalists for time sought reposc in Europe.
De Sn, Carnerio, Netto, and Fonseca carried
their i'll gotten wealth to Portugal and the
persons whom its former colony had rejected
Portugal has cnnoblcd De Sa has been crca-
ted the Baron of Villa Nova do Mimic Angelo
Carneiro Viscount Loures and OF Netto was
conferred the Cross of the Order of Nossa Sem
hora dc Conceicao. Whether these particular
and practices we know not, but certain it is
that for some time past arrangements have been
made in Cuba, by persons of great experience
and capital, to fill up by fresh importations
from unhappy Africa the void which cholera
had made in the slave population of that is
land.
The frat evidence of this movement was
seen in the shipyards of Baltimore and other
American ports. Thence were despatched not
to Havana, but to the minor and less frequented
| ports of Cuba, clippers. such as only can hope
to escape the vigilance of our cruisers. These
met with ready sale in the island. The
| Spanish authorities closed their eyes to these
significant preparations, and rejected as imper-
tinence all profered information on the subject.
1t thus became only too evident that the pres
ent captain-g general was ready to wink at, per-
haps to profit by, the traffic. The fittings for
these ships were despatched in other vessels and
from other countries, to the coast of Africa,
there to be transferred to the clippers as oppor-
tunity served. And the hope is that, sailing
light and unequipped from Cuba, the clippers
will elude the provisions of the treaties under
which. when equipped, they may be seized.
1t is to arrest this iniquitous scheme in it's
first outburst, that the Admiralty now orders
additional steamers to the coast of Cuba. And
though we have never. as readers know, been
favorable to the large expenditure that has for
SO many years been going on along the western
and eastern coasts of Africa, we arc aboubt
to take any objections to this temporary rein
forcement of the Cuban squadron. For, of the
coast of that island, check, it is possible, may
b given to what is quite impossibls etteetually

TO repress on the two shores Of the great Afri-
can peninsula; and it is not inconsistent either
with the honor or the past exertions Of Eng
! land Tor her government, when so near, as .
was anticipated, the triumph of her anti slave
trade policy, to regard with indifference or in-
dolence these monstrous proceedings OF the
planters and government of Cuba.
Better even that the "Ionc Star" Of Ameri-
ca should revolutionisc Cuba; that the au-
thority of the Court of Madrid should be ex-
PEELED from its most valuable remaining colony
than that il should be allowed to renew in
all its ancient denominations the outrages on
Africa. And this, it is to be hoped, Lord Jonn
Russell, and his forthcoming successor, the
Earl Of Clarendon, will plainly tell the Court
of Madrid. The British nation and govcrn-
Cuba by Spain, whilst Spain refuses to do,
which recent experience has demonstrated she
can easily do-suppress and terminate the slave
trade in that island. 1t is useless longorfto
argue or to romonstrate with such a court as
that Of Madrid; for reason and remonstrancc,
il is now indispensable to substitute n deter
mination that cannot be disregarded.
Unlike Brazil, Cuba is a compact and we'll
organized country; unlike the Brazilian, the
Cuban government has always been, and still
is, strong powerful and dcspotic government (;
unlike Brazil, Cuba has police an army and a
coast guard to enforce its policy and yet Bra
zil. far less favorably situated in all these re-
spccts than Cuba, has terminated tho slave
trade. 1t is idle triaing, therefore, to say that
the court of Madrid cannot If il have tho dis
position and the resolution. achieve what Brazil
has accomplished. But it has not the DISPOSE
ton. II is by Cuba, and the means of corrup-
ton it furnishes, that the court Of Madrid is
able to carry on that system of domestic mis-
government which is the curse and blight of
Spain.
1t was under the vigorous and free consttu-
tional system of Espartero. that the African
slave trade was for while suppressed In Cuba /
and until constitutional government DO again
restored. our cruisers may check, but they will
not be able to terminate, this Infamous traffic,
unless the court of Madrid is brought to its
senses, and taught that treaties may not be
wrecked like tho hopes of bond -holdors. Ap.
proving then. of this step as temporary
measure, Lords John Russell and Clarendon
must go further, If they desire to be pcrma-
nently successful; and attack the slave trade
where it really receives its impetus-iE the
camarilla of Madrid.

The Ludlow Slaves.

We noticed, day or two since, that the
twenty-eight slaves belonging to the estate
of the late Israel Ludlow, of this city, hnd
sailed for Liberin. These sInves, except two
or three, were all imported from Airca into
Texas during IFS independence, aud were
then young in years; they nre now in full Wig
