MORE KIDNAPPING.-The recent Harvey
case, which created no little excitement in
this city some weeks since, has been followed
up by one of even greater ntrocity in Toronto.
1t appears, as we gather the particulars from
our Toronto exchanges, that dashing young
negro from the United States came over 10 To
ronto and married the daughter of resps eta
BILE culored citizen, but receiving no money
with her as he expected, went off to the South
ern States and there sold his wife into slavery.
The villains preteXt was that he had rich re-
lations in the South, and the unsuspecting wife
thus permitted herself to be iaveigled into the
kidnappers snare and became the dupe of his
treachery. The father of the young woman il
now left find his daughter, and probably will
have TO purchase her in the Slave marke, Of
the South.-Hamtton, (Ca.) Spec.
This is very doubtful story, but one that
will be quite alarming to the abolitioaists.-
This is a kind of Kidnapping for which the
underground is not at all prepared.

Standard announces the arrival in that city of a
large number of Shanghai and Cochin China
