Seizure of Arms.

lhe Lexington (MO. Express OF lne Stn
inst. furnishes the following particulars. If
the free state tlen desire TO procure arms, it
will be seen from this that the Missouri river
is closed against the transmission of all such

men
The good steamer Arabia, Capt. John S. |
Shaw, arrived at our wharf bout sunrise this
morning. Inmedia tey on lHnding,a commit
lee was dispatched up town to inform our
citzpns that a person from Massachusetts
was on board. having in his possession oneI
hundred Sharpe8 rifles and two cannon 4
destined for service in Kansas, and sent for
ward bv the Massa chusetts Aid Society
This information brought together many of
our most respectable and reliable citizens.
when conference was had by them with
Mr.. Start with view Of inducing him
to leave the " dangerous weapons with our
citizens for safe keeping. This he assented
to, and delivered the goods up, subject to
the lequisition of Gov Shannon or his sue
cessor in office.
The proceedings were orderly and although
the determination TO arrest the arms was de-
cided, no one talked of violence to the poor
tool that could so heartlessly lend himself
10 such unnatural work. The arms We're
boxed up ami marked carpenters tools >
The discovery that they were on board was
made at or below Glasgow. from letter
dropped by Mr.. S. in the Ca bin, and picked
up by boy and handed to Capt Shaw, by
whom it was read aloud in the social hail.
The passengers and officers were highly in
!, censed at the disclosures, but no indgnity
, was offered to the miserable disorganizer.
The Express suggests the appointment of
a committee of the citizens of the place,

tercept all similar shipments.
1t seems to us that the oficious Capt Shaw
has made himself and his boat Arabia liable
, in suit for damages of about $4,000.

Kanzas, where he is engaged in writing let
