HIRING OF SLAvEs-lmportamL Legal Decision
The Supreme Court of Tennessee decided at
its last term that the hirer of a slave was not
authorized to re-hre without the assent of the
owner, and, if he did So and the negro died or
was injured, the hirer might be sued by the
owner, and recovered against for the whole value
Of the slave. They also decided that u negro
hired in that State could not, without the as
sent of the owner, be removed from the State or
even from the county where hired, and if he
was so, it would be a conversion

| PARTICULARS OF THE Loss OF THE STEAM
BOAT HENRY LEw1s.-We received by telegraph
a few days ago, brief account of collision
between the steamers Henry Lewis and Edw
Howard, in the Ohio river, near Evansville, Ia,
by which the former was sunk, and a number
| of lives lost. The officers of the steamer Hun
garian furnish the following particulars of the
disaster:
The Hungarian, a few hours after the COLI
sion, came up to the wreck of the Lewis, and
took off the surviving passengers, and all the
freight that was above water. The Howard
was alongside the wreck, and did not leave I'M
til Cap. Emerson, of the Lewis had made ar
Engagements with the Hungarian for barge,
which she had in tow, and had transferred his
passengers to the Hungarian.
The Lewis sunk in about three minutes after
the collision with the Howard, which occurred
about half past o'clock in the morning About
the time she had fairly settled on the bottom,
the forward part Of the boat was discovered to
be on fire. She was then lying across the cur
rent, some eighty yards distant from the Ken
lucky shore. The Howard went to her assis-
lance, in doing which she had to run head on,
and the hull being sunk, there no resistance
to the Howard except the upper works, which
received such shock from this second collision
that the skylight from one end of the boat to
the other, broke through and fell upon the
bin floor, aud the whole cabin was started off.
Many passengers were caught in the ruins.
Some succeeded in extricating themselves. while
others were cut out with axes, they indicating
their whereabouts by calling for assistance.
Others persisted in their rooms Or among the
fragments of the cabin.
The number of lives lost is variously estma-
ted at from twenty to fifty. There was $4,000
insurance on the hull of the Henry Lewis and
$4,000 on her freight list. The portion of the
freight brought by the Hungarian is consigned
to Rogers. McGuire & Co., to be sold for account
of underwriters.

THE ANGLO FRENCH ALLIANCE.-TIe Paris
article upon the difference between England and
the United States, signed by the principal editor
the usual form when it is wished to be under
stood that the publication has u semi-official
character, says:
If the United States ar determined to be war
like, they will tind that not only England hut
France also, will be opposed to them. The
Cabinets of Europe can never view with inditf-
erence the danger with which the American
government threatens the independence of the
weak powers and the peace of all the world 1t
is vain for the United States to imagine that
America belongs to them exclusively. and that
Europe has no business whatever to intermcddle
in the affairs of the American continent This
doctrine proclaimed and accepted by some of
their statesmen is utterly untenablc The af-
fairs Of America like those of Europe, are the
affairs of the whole world-of England of
France, of Spain, of Hoand--because they
have both commercial and political interest to
defend, numerous colonies to protect, a direct
and indisputable right Of interference. 1t would
be well, too, that the Americans themselves
should practice what they preach, and not rs
in the case of the Sound Dues, seek arbitrarily
to abrogate customs in Europe. which the Eu-
ropean powers had recognized and acknowledge
for centuries.
The Anglo French alliance
will survive the in the Crimea. The United
States ought to know this, aud be more modest
or at least more moderate i'll their bearing to-
wards England and the rest of Europe.
Kee kool Louis, don't rend your neither gar
ment.

join Walkers army or settle in the country, as
circumstances may dictate. Some of these men

as well make up his mind to grin and bear it

| THE "LITTLE GIANT TRIuMpuANT.-The
the Excelsior mill, and Of which we spoke in a
| preceding number, came off at Cincinnati, on
Friday the 23d of February, last, before large
auditory. Gov. Wright and Hon. H. L. Els
worth, of Indiana, Editor Wilson of the Iowa
Farmer, and Col. Harris Of the Ohio Cultivator
of the original committee, were present They
were met by four contestants for the prize. The
contest commenced between Excelsior Mill and
the Little Giant for the silver service offered by
Chas. Leaytt, valued at $3.50, to the Little Gil
ant, or any other mill that should grind faster
and finer than the Excelsior of the same size.
The contest was spirited one, and all parties
were sanguine Of success, and conducted with
the greatest vigilance. The Committee on the
part of the Excelsior Mill protested against
competing with the improved Little Giant, which
was not sustained. The quantity of corn ground
by each mill, was four bushels, and afterwards
thoroughly sifted, in order to test the relative
degree of fneness of each parcel ground by the
various contestants, and, when through, each
mill was taken apart and its merits explained
and argued by each contestant, at length, before
the Committee, who, after due deliberation,
awarded the silver service to the F." Little Giant
Notwithstanding the unanimous decision of
the Committee, in favor Of the "Lttle Giant we
see from the Cincinnati Gazette, that another
trial between the rival Corn Mills of Messrs.
Douglas, Smith s Co., of GAINESVILLE and Messrs.
Scott & Hedges, of Cincinnati, will take place
at Paris, Ky, on Court day, early in the ensuing
May
From the testimonials from all quarters now
befor us, we feel privileged and authorised tosay
that the "Little Giant" of which our friend B.
F. Holden, is the agent for Titibodaux, is the
best Corn and Cob Mill extent.

| DIR. GRUNEBERG.-It being currently report
ed and generally believed that this gentleman
and accomplished musician has left, or is on the
| point of leaving the country, we take this &C.
| casion to say that the report is unfounded and
| has no truth in it, and must have been origi-
mated with the view of injuring the Doctor, by
interested parties.
The Doctor is at present in New Orleans, hay
ing profered his services as pianist to Mr.. Col
Inns, the Irish Commedian, in his Characteristic
Musical Entertainments, at Odd Fellows Hall,
where his abilities as a pianist, have been spok-
en- Of in the very highest terms by the press
Of that city. We hazard the opinion that the
South possesses few musicians superior, or
equal to DR.. Gruneberg, and as such merits the
support of the public.
paP The seceders from the National Amer
lean Convention, some 46 in number, have issu-
ed brief address and called Convention, to
meet in New York city on June 18th, to nomi-
nate candidates for President and Vice Presi-
don't They present as their grounds for seces-
sion, the refusal of the Convention to adopt the
retriction Of the Missouri Compromise as
principle, and the admission Of delegates from
Louisiana, representing Roman Catholic con-
stituencies.
One excellent thing results from this secess-
ion, and the announcement of the reasons lead
ing thereto-the American party can no longer
ing return to the Missouri Compromise, or of
prescribing men on account Of their religious
faith.
