Suttle's Sister i'm a Boston WOman's Rights
Convention.

Last night at the Woman's Rights Con-
vention, toward the close of the meeting, a
lady was introduced to the audience as the
sister of Capt. Suttle, who desired to state
some facts respecting her brothers connec-
ton with this fugitive slave case. She said
she had just come from Virginia, and had
one or more interviews with Capt. Suttle
the previous day that she had come to
plead with him to give Anthony Burns his
liberty Her brother, she said, was born in
New Hampshire had moved to Virginia
and by his marriage had inherited slaves
1t was thus he became Shareholder. She
said he was kind, good hearted man, but
his mind was blinded in regard to the crime
Of slavery. He was not the owner of An
thony Burns, but the agent of another per-
son, (or the slave was bound to him. and
that the real owner was not willing the man
should be free. He had sent on word not
TO permit him to be sold, and insisting that
he should be brought back at whatever cost
or hazard. She said her brother, during the
progress of the case, had become heartily
sorry he engaged in it, and had spent many
sleepless nights. Some of the family had
been to the real owner of Burns and pleaded
with him to let his slave 90 free, but it had
been of no avail She described the diff
Guilty she had in obtaining interviews with
her brother. She could not gain admission
to him till she had written line and sent
1t in to him. 1t had been difficult for any
of the friends of the slave to get access to
him. He had been guarded from influences
without by the Marshal of Boston. 1t was
the Marshal of Boston who had kept guard
over him.
The name of this lady was Jenny Suttle-
a tall, energetic, we'll spoken woman, a mem
Der of the Baptist Church, of strong religious
feelings, uneducated, but with good natural
powers. She represented that her family
had joined her in this appeal to get Burns
free. Her story excited much feeling and
interest in the audience.

How TO Pass THROUGH SMoKE.--m the

Mr.. Wakely, the coroner, observed that it
would be well to acquaint the public with
the tact that If persons in a house on fire

cloth or handkerchief to their mouth and

the densest smoke; but the surest way would
be to envelop the head and face completely

SANTA ANNA AND ALVAREZ Whether
Santa Anna or Alvarez was victorious at
Acapulco, is involved in doubt. 1t appears.
however, by the Panama Star of the 18th
instant, that Santa Anna, on the 26th of
April, summoned the fortress at Acapulco
to surrender, and that on the same day he
was attacked by Alvarez, who took 300 of
his troops prisoners whereupon Santa Anna
fled to the city of Mexico, arriving there no
doubt on the 9Th inst. Of course his Serene
Highness will report himselfa victor; flying
faster than Fame, he will sound his own
trumpet on his own key AS he is now
