Tne Roston Fugitive Slave Case.

On Friday last, the U. S. Commission
or delivered his opinion in the Fugitive
Slave case in Boston, remanding the negro
Burns to his owner. The decision al
most demented the Abolilionists they
draped the American flag in mourning
closed their stores and hung scarfs TO the
doors: toled the bells and behaved IN
the most extravagant manner. AS the
time approached when Burns was to be
taken from the Court House 10 the Steamer
at the wharf, which was in readiness TO
convey him TO Virginia, more than twen-
ty thousand people, wild with excitement
congregated about the Court House and
in the streets through which the negro
was to be taken, Between two and three
o'clock Burns was taken from the Court
House and escorted 10 the wharf, by two
hundred men armed with swords and pls-
tolls, being the Marshal's special deputies,
together with three companies of U. 5.
Troops, and also the Boston Light ORA
goons, the Boston Lancers, and the ArtlI-
lery and Infantry companies of the first
brigade of Stale Militia, with 9 FOUNDER
and field piece. The law was enforced
and the fugitive is by this time at home
in this State, the Abolilionists having
shrunk back appalled, at the display Of
military, contenting themselves with
groans, Kisses and other evidences of i'm
potent rage and baflled designs, as the line
passed on.

A Riot at Brooklyn.

A terrible riot occurred at Brooklyn,
New York, on Sunday last, between some
Irish Catholics and number of Ameri-
cans who had been 10 hear street prea-
cher. 1t appears that while the Ameri-
cans were walking arm in arm down Main
street from Smith, where they had been
to hear a street preacher, they were sud.
denly fred upon from the windows of the
Irish houses on both sides Of the streets.
Two persons were killed, and number
severely wounded. A great many Irish
are under arrest, and all is now quiet.

Beef Cattle.

Our Western exchange papers echo the
complaint we have at the Eastward, in
reference to the growing scarcity of cat
tie. A ST. Louis paper states that dealers
from New York are securing Illinois and
Indiana 10 buy up stock to meet the high
prices current on the seaboard. High
prices had been paid for good catrle--S7,
80 to $3.50 per 100 lbs. net 81 and 81,
25 live weight are the current rates al
Chicago, and bat few to be had at that.
The prices paid at New York for the bet
ter qualities of beeves, on Monday week,
were higher than ever known there before
equal say to l3 cents per pound, at
wholesale. This is about equal to Is a
20 cents per pound by retail.

HOrrid Death of a Sub Marine Diver.
1t has Teen already stated that Mr..
James Tope lost his life, few days ago,
while testing submarine armo- OH Lake
Erie. Ii appears he descended twice, and
on coming up complained that the foul air
did not escape fast enough TO allow him to
breathe freely. The Buffalo Courier
says:
Previous TO going down Tie third time
he detached the spring from the valve which
allows the impure air to escape from The
helmet, and desired the man who held the
signal line to observe carefully when he
should reach the bottom (some 40 ieet,)
and be prepared TO answer his signals.
He then entered the water, and had des-
cenGed about thirty feet, when those above
thought the line was Immediately Jerked
to ascertain whether any thing was wrong
but receiving no answering signal the dl-
yer was Immediately raised from the wa
ter.
On opening the helmet, the unfortunate
occupant of the armor was found TO be
quite dead, presenting horrid spectacle,
blood oozing from his eyes, ears, nose
and mouth. Detaching the spring from
the escape-valve prevented the air from
initiating the armor below the neck OF the
diver; and when it is recollected that al
the depth Of thirty feet the pressure of the
water is equal TO fifteen pounds TO the
square inch, and hence there must have
been pressure of at least ten tons upon
the lower extremites of the diver, and
this tremendous pressure forced the vital
fluid to the head bursting the blood-vessels,
and thus causing immediate Geath. Not
more than a minute and half elapsed
from the time he entered the water to the
time he was hoisted upon the dock of the
vessel

small quantity of it, mixed with some dirt
manure, in the hill with the corn. This

than two hills out Of ten have produced
anything,-apd replanting was the con-

A ction of The General .issc EiL.y of the
Presby terrain Church IN. 81 upon the
Subject of Slavery.

TAction of The General AsSc EIj!y of the
preSby terrain Church IN. y upon the
4 Subject of Slavery.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures,
through Mr.. Barnes, chairman, presented
the following rcpor.:
"The Committee report, that overtures
! and memorials have been before them
from the following Presbyteries, (here fol.
low their Names relating 10 the subject
of slavery.
In reference 10 these memorials anu
ioycr,urcs, the committee recommend that
/ inasmuch a we believe, that in the present
aspects Of Divine Providence, the consid-
Grafton of the subject in this General AS
sembIv IS undesirable and ineXpedient;
and ,nasmuch as the memorials do not
ask for any modification or renewal oflhe
testimony borne by previous Assemblies,
in regard to the system and practice Of
slavery, as existing in this country, OF Tor
any expression of opinion as TO the pyO-
ner course to be pursued by future AS
semblies, therefore this Assembly take no
action on the subject.
The Report was adopted, without de-
bate, bv a unanimous vote, and me Mooe-
rator emphalically pronounced "LAUs
DEo." as he declared the result.
4 protest was subsequently presented,
stoned by % members out of PIP, of
whom the body was composed, which
was read and ordered TO be entered on the
minutes, and is as follows:
PROTEST ON THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY.
The undersigned respectfully protest
against the action of the Genera Assem-
bly, upon the report Of the Committee on
Bills and OverturIs, upon the memo
rials of several Presbyterles relative TO
The subject of slavery; Because, that
action under the circumstances, IS wy
tualy saying TO the Presbyteries in tie
slaveholding States, that the action OF the
last proceeding General Assembly, IN
requesting "dlstinct and full statements
touching the three points there specified,
is not approvedby this General Assembly,
and that the present Assembly is satisfied
with the neglect and refusal TO answer
those inquiries, and does not deem them
even of sufficient importance TO the peace
or purity of the church TO repeat the re-
quest for an answer at the next General
Assembly also because twill, anu must
be construed into a willingness to cease all
direct effort to discOnnect ltsell from the
sin of Slavery; and in this particular IS a
receding from the high and laudabLe posi-
ZION heretofore assumed; and for the fur
Their reason that it places this branch of
/ the Christian Church in the apparent Po-
siton of diminishing its efforts 10 eradl-
cate great and growing evil, at the very
period when the efforts for lis extension
and Perpetuity are strongest and most rep
irehensible, as well as INSCRIPTIONS, and
when there is also, the best prospect Tor
the labors of the Church to be successful,
and has the appearance Of being willing
to abandon the field rather than stem the
flood of iniquity rolIingin upon theChurch
and the country.

The Black warrior Affair.

The accounts by the Asia state positive
ly that the affair Of the Black Warrior has
been settled in manner that will be salts
factory TO both governments. The Wash
ington Star of last Friday publishes the
following statement, which it says may
be relied on as correct, as at least two OF
the foreign legations received the inior-
nation officially on Friday morning:
Most Important from Spain--.HH The
Black U'arrior Troubles SeHled.-The
Friday mornings mail brought dispatches
looming by the Cunard steamer Asia TO
most of the European Legations in Wash
ington, and also we take it for granted,
to the American Foreign Affairs Depart
ment.
We learn that various of the foreign
ministers resident here have positive IN
formation OF the harmonious and entire
settlement of the Black Warrior affair.
Spain RENTS the fine of $4,000 exacted
of the owners of the ship, disclalms any
intention of insulting the American flag In
what transpired on her part in the course
of the affair, and orders her regulations,
&c., for the port of Havana to be so al
tered as will practically guarantee Amerl-
can commerce hereafter from liability to
any such injury as occurred TO II In the
case in question.
