Two MEs TO DE Husc ron ASSISTING
SLAVES ro EscApE.--Richard Wynn and
Alfred Woodley, who were part of the
crew OF vessel which loaded some tina
ago IN the Roanoke River, were lately
tried IN Ber''c county, North Carolina
on charge of receiving and secreting a
slave on board the vessel, with a view 70
abduction The captain, it seems, dis.
covered the fugitive, and had the two
sailors arrested. Wynn was acquitted
but WoodIey was found guilty, and, il is
said, will have to suffer the penalty ci
death. A man named Willis Hester, is
under sentence Of death in Catham, North
Carolina, for nigger-s.ealing. His execu-

A bill has been introduced into Par,
Lament fol the establishment Of free com.
mon schools wi,hou, opposition. The

letter writer to the Tribune, says:
"The principle feature of Sir joan

shall be free, ,ha, a responsible Minister
shall >supercede the present, irresponsible
Committee Of the Privy Council, aud tina,
religious instructions shall be given in
the schools; the attendance OF such in-
struc.ion remaining optional with the
children. Some facts mentioned in this
speech are Of general interest. He
found that in respect 70 public education
IN England, j, is alnos. at the bottom o
the scale-Russia, Spain aud Italy only
being lower. That out Of the entire
number Of children between five and fif'
teen years in England, for,y-two pei
cent are a, school. twenty per cent a
work. He also mentioned a fact which
seems very incredible, viz: That near
ly eight hundred schoolmasters or mis-.
resses in En- nyland were unable TO read
or write their own names, and that a,
the taking Of the census. they signet
their returns with mark! Such state
Of things can, of course, no, be tolerated

My father was at Boston, in the Massa-

except such as each ia.n,y would make
