JUSTICE TO AN orFIcERThe recent trial at Bos-
ton OF the SLAYER Gamorgan sent home from the
of Africa for adudicaton has afforded occasion to
OF the journals of that city to indulge in unjust and il
liberal remarks touching the conduct of Lieutenant Rich
ard Page the commander Of the brig Perry by whom the
capture made His conduct represented as exraor-
dnary and nexpcabc in sending the United States
for trial the supercago and second mate of the vessel who
were foreigners and who were criminal and deeply
Implicated in guilt than the other parties To those who
are with the usages and of action In
cases of this kind such nsnuatons calculated to
yey the impression the mind that the commander of
the Perry had Disseminated in favor of foreigners and
that he had been derect in the discharge of his duties
But proper view Of the subject will readily dspe any
conviction of this kind.
1t has been the practice with the ships Of the African
squadron, when successful in capturing saver to land
the foreigners found board the price and to send home
with the vessel for trial only those persons belonging to
the nation Of the cruiser making the seizure One excep
ton to this rule occurred when the United States brig Per-
ry in 1860 captured the slave ship Martha In consdera
tion of the moral effect it might have the coast the
foreign portion OF the slayers sent to the Uni
ted States. These anticipated, discharged
and the Americans only were brought to trial before
courts.
1t thus appears that Lieutenant Page instead of being
worthy of censue acted in strict accordance with the line
foreigners for trial to the United States he would not only
have incurred the risk of pecuniary loss but he would
have subjected himself to the animadversions of his gey
ernment The of the Martha was precedent
and warning that foreigners beyond the control of
the United States courts and with this knowledge it
would have been construed into abtray exercise Of
authority the part of the commanding officer of the
Perry had no detained these board and sent them
home for trial.
Lieutenant Page is we'll known in the naval service
as an Intelligent and gallant officer and familiar as he
must be with the regulations for the guidance of those
gagged in the suppression Of the slave trade the coast of
Africa that it is almost work of supererogation in us 10
take up pen in his vndication. But have deemed
duty to make this brief presentation of the state Of
the case for the satisfaction of those who take an in
terest in it, and especially for the enlightenment of the
denzens of Boston, who to be somewhat capous and
excited ON the subject--Somhern Argus.

there is an actual probability of an insufciency
of hands being left in the country to till the soil
One of the Galway papers which looks with
jealousy upon the success of the recruiting

pie are under the impression that ''conscrip-
tom is contemplated to swell the army of Eng.

PEELED to serve under the British flag many per-
sons in comfortable circumstances are going in

course be taken for what it is worth but of the
fact of the Wholesale flight of Connaught peas

From other parts of Ireland the drain of emil
grafton is also great. One Irish journal re-
marks OF the passion among the people to &C
quire the means to emigratc.
Of the large number of agricultural laborers
who passed through our streets during last3wc elk
on their way to America not few had earned
their passage money by being employed under
the Board of Works. This is certainly strik-
ing instance of the improvements in the moral
condition of the pcasantry which at present ex-
ISIS. Some years ago the wages not absolutely
required for the support of life by the Irish ag-
ricultural laboror would have been recklessly
squandered at fairs, taverns or midnight revels
resulting in rows frequently ending in loss of
life How surprising the change; his money is
now frugally taken care of, boarded up, and
anxiously reckoned from week to week until it
amounts to the cost ola Storage passage across
the Atlantic to the United States or Canada.
And from England, the disturbed state of
trade and the labor difficulties. are likely to
cause large amount ofemigration this season.
Those journals, therefore that regret the war be-
cause it would stop emigration, may cease their
regrets on that score.
