From GUAYAMA-Ca Capture and Release of a
British VesseI by Pirates. Capt. Buchanan,
of the brig Edward Lind, from Guayama, P.
r., which port she left on the 10th of July,
reports that few days previous to his sailing,

the British Vice Consul at Guayama, from the
British Consul General at St. Johns, p. R.,

The Captain of the sloop reports that on the

schooner of about 100 tons, masts raking very
much, and armed with long brass is pound
gun amid ship and two cannonades, and
large quantity of small arms. She was man

The only color shown was blue flag with a
red cross. After having the sloop in charge

Before Special Justice WethereH. - John
Ryan was brought up for assault on his wife,
and for refusing to provide for his wife and
child. 1t was evident, however, that John
and his spouse had settled the matter before
it came to trial; as her testimony did not sub
stantiate the complaints she had made. John
was discharged.
Riley Thayer, for being drunk, was fined
81 and costs, amounting to 5000, which he
paid, and was discharged.
John NJ. Wiley, of Leicester, for an assault
on Booth Bottomly, of Leicester, on the LIST
inst, was fined $5 and costs, amounting to
1907. Mr.. Wiley expressed himself perfectly
satisfied, paid, and was discharged
Christopher Brothers was brought up on
three complaints for selling Intoxicating liquor
to Benjamin Remmick, and was discharged.
Remmick swore that he had made mistake,

We did not suppose that the Commonwealth
was delinquent even upon the grounds alleged
by the Attas. We do not see anything par
ticularly meritorious in the wings or free soil
ers voting against the Nebraska bill, they be-
ing in opposition to the administration and
we ourselves would scarcely have considered
any allusion to that fact worthy of notice.
We look upon Mr.. Banks as the only man
who made any sacrifice, by his course on the
Nebraska bill, and therefore, the only man
deserving special praise. The explanation of
the Commonwealth, however, puts the atlas in
still more unenviable position than we at
first supposed.
