Prem Our Own Correspondent.


Sitting at one Of the tables at the LOnja, one
dsy last week, | overheard an animated discussion
between two noted slsve-traders, who, it seems,
were part owners Of the bark Panchita, lately
seized in New-York. They seemed to 30 greatly
;ncensed with certain parties in New-iOrk, whom
they had made their con6dan.s. The unexpected
detection Of the Panchita has induced them to be-
lieve that their own friends have informed against
the bark. | heard one of them say that the AbO-
litionist party had prospered so much recently IN
the City of New-York that it no longer safe for
them to fit out there, and that in future they would
try some Southern port, where IL would prove
easier to mature their plans. j felt glad to hear
this from the mouths Of the dealers themselves, for
New York has been for long time their great ht-
ting.out place, and until The TRIBUNE enlightened
the minds Of the people, but few were aware how
and here the thing was managed. Perhaps our
Southern brethren may also be induced 10 use
little extra vigilance, and then they Will have no
other recourse than to conform to treaty stpula-
lions.
The great scarcity of hands and the high price
paid for negroes will act powerful stimulus on
the traders and have no doubt that from twenty 10
thirty thousand will be- landed in the course OF this
Winter The last cargo of - Bozaes realized
S6l2 on the coast the purchaser taking upon HIM
self all the risks of capture, &c. They were all
sold however, with "cedulas," making the invest
ment sure gain. These 'cedulas" have produced
rlite large revenue 10 such dishonest en-
ployees Of the Police Department as have thought
proper Ia resort to their sale, as much as SlOO
having been paid for each one. Imagine the eflOr-
nous amount thus realized when the trade is brisk.
Good field hands bring from 800 to $500, and
house servants are proDortienately high. The non

increase the value of slaves. If the dealers caA be
thwarted in their plans in the States, but few car
goes would be brought here, as long as the present
government exists. | think that al association
might be formed among the opponents of Slavery
in our prnripa sea-board cities for the purpose OF
watching the movements of the Cuban slaye-trad-
ers. and see that they are punished according to
the law. Thus much can be done toward suppress
ing the trade BY its humblest opponent.
The present Government of Mexico has put
stop TO the introduction of the Yucatan Indians by
the house of GOcura 81 Co., and has already refused
several applications from other parties, who have
offered security for the faithful performance OF the
articles of agreement entered into between the III
dams and masters. The Mexican authorities have
been induced to take these steps from positive M
formation that the contracts were never fulfilled,
and that the coonists are little else than slaves,
with this difference, that they are generally EN-
poyed house servants, being physically lncap able
