ter.-the former an Irish woman, the
latter born in this country,-were SEN,
to Europe on the 18th inst. by The State
of Massachuset It's, for the crime Of being
too poor to live i'll that Commonwealth.
The Boston AdrcrtiSer contrasts this
case with that Of the fugitive slave An
thony Burns, in the following forcible
manner:
The fugitive Slave Law OF the
United States seems so nbOminable en-
actment TO our Legislature, that they will
not even call i: ldlr in their official re-
cords. Yet our own Massachusetts pau
per rendition law, vastly more barbarous.
remains on our statute books. and the
Legislature will not interpose to amend
or repeal it. Our Legislators see the
notes in the eyes Of members Of Con-
gress. but know nothing OF the beams in
their own.
THE rendition of Anthony Burns from
Massachusetts TO Virginia, under law
of the United States designed TO give eff
feet to an express stipulation Of the Con-
sliiution. caused an immense excitement
IN this community. The rendition of
Mary Williams and her infant Bridget,
under our own law. by our own au,hori-
ties. scarcely caused a remark. He was
sent back under law of the United
States, binding on the people Of Massa-
chusetts. whe ther agreeable or disogreea-
BILE. She was sent under one of our own
laws. which the same Legislature that
elected Henry Wilson 10 the Senate and
voted TO remove Judge Loring from the
bench, might epeal in day. He was
sent back TO the care of master. bound
in law 20 feed, clio the and protect him.
She was sent to be landed on foreign
shore, where there may not be even a
single person 10 know or care that she
| has arrived.
HE was sent away. strong man
with stout limbs, able to bear misfortune
and hardship. should they fall upon him,
with some degree Of firmness. She was
sent away. q weak woman, with an in
FAINT few weeks old. demanding all her
care. and with nobody to protect or as
sist her. The treasury of the United
States bore the expense OF the rendition
of Anthony Burns. The treasury OF
Massachuse It's paid for the repdi.ion Of
Mary williams. But then he was ne
gro-"a man and brother" while she
was only white woman-a woman and
mother.
mo vigilance committee rallied at the
rumor OF the embarkation Of Mary Will
Iisms. No young and enthusiastic coun.
sci hurried to proffer her their services.
Judges were not solicited at unseemly
hours for writs Of habeas corpus; and
nothing was said about the dc homint
replegiande in her case. Sherifs and

bul did not speak. The others were kill
ed ins,antly--ohe or two of them being
thrown distance Of thirty or forty fee,
from the mill. The upper portion of one
mans head was entirely taken off, and
not found till next day; and they were oil
more or Itssshoribly mangIed. The boil
er was blown into atoms, entirely des-
,royed the Gill, and moving the frame
which is very heavy. distance Of eight
feet off its foundation. A portion of the
boiler weighing five or six hundred pounds
was thrown distance Of two hundred
yards. The explosion was terrible, and
was distinctly heard ten miles off.
1t is impossible to ascertain the melan.
cholly event. but as near as we can learn
through tie many conflicting stories. il
was ihro the incapacity Of The Engineer.
The general opinion seems to be tina, the
valves had in some way go, out of order,
aud that he. no; knowing what was wrong
kept crow6ng on steam until the fatal ac-
cideni occurred. 1t is almost a miracle
that he escaped with life. The mill had
been started tina, day. and four Of the per.
sons killed had jus, entered the mill to
see lis operation when the explosion took
place. Several women aud children had
left few minutes before. We trust
this sad occurrence will be a warning 20
persons engaged in steam operations. -
Let no engineer be employed unless he is
known TO be both careful and competent.
