SHIPPING INTERESTS. Nearly two hundred
and fifty ships, barks, and briggs, are now in
this port, and the prospects for business are
gloomy in the extreme. The low prices of
cotton operate to limit greatly the Shipment of
that article, the small quantities of bread
stutfs on the Atlantic seaboard check nearly
all European freights; the troubles in India,
and the great stock here of all India goods,
operate most unfavorably against any new en-
terprises in that quarter, and there are no
charters offered save to few ports, such as
to London and Liverpool to carry to those
markets goods that cannot be sold here at any
price. Our warehouses are crowded with
goods from all parts of the world, and partic-
larly from the East Indies, for which there is
no sale, nor will be for months to come, such
is the complete and entire stagnaton of our
manufacturing interests. Some twenty ships
are still on their way here from the East In
dies, but no new voyages Of any consequence
are commenced to that quarter, such are the
disastrous results of all present operations.
This cessation will finally be benefit to the
trade in two ways; first, by reducing the ex-
orbitant prices demanded in India for their
staples, and next by enabling us by and by
to get rid Of the enormous stocks now on hand

The Providence Journal of Monday says of business
in that city:
sit is to be regretted that cur banks do nct act more
which would place Providence money on the
footing with other New England money in New York 1t

CHARLES SUMMERS LETTER.-The Spring.
field Republican questions the authenticity of
the extract from late letter of Hon. Charles
Sumner, which was published in the Bee last
week, and suspects it was not genuine, though
"lhe letter expressed Mr.. Summers senti-
ments, no donbt,' etc.
All we can say in regard to the matter is,
that the letter was brought to our office on
the morning of the day that we published it,
and it purported to be from Mr.. Sumner to
gentleman in Cambridge. The extract was
prepared ready for publication, and the docu-
ment was shown to several friends Just as we
received it. Knowing as we did that the
views of Mr.. Sumner were in consonance
with the sentiments expressed In the letter,
we published it at once, without scrutinizing
it very closely, though we had no idea that it
was not genuine. Since this question has
been raised, however, we are ourselves led to
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and are
now pretty well satisfied that the whole thing
was a trick on the part Of some miserable
Plug Ugly, who imposed this letter on the
Bee for sinister purposes. The forger of the
document, whoever he may be, is welcome to
the satisfaction he may find in thus deceiving
us and the public. There was no possible oc-
casion for this, and no one is harmed or BEN
Gifted by the transaction. But if the letter
is not genuine, we have been misled in
manner not usual with us, and which we feel
very certain will not occur again. A letter
has been addressed to Mr.. Sumner on the sub
ject, already, we learn, and the public will
shortly be informed as to the authenticity of
the document published, which We deemed
bona Rde at the time but of which we have
since been induced TO doubt the genuine.

times in dull sales for their staples, at ruin
Gus prices. The manufacturing towns are

This depression throughout New England
causes our jobbers to be almost idle, and
the importers to look, day after day, at
their crowded storehouses with deep solicit
tude. The stoppage of all kinds of mechan.
ical industry occasions glut in the market

distant trade presents itself, even if it was de.

To FARMBRs.-The favorable weather the last
season for the two crops of squashes and cab
bages, tog ether with the desire to market them
in the Fall, has SO glutted the market, that the
prices have become merely nominal and even
absurd.
Now, there is a remedy for this discourage
ment. Both squashes and cabbages are excellent
fodder for mich cows and hogs. The squash is
highly nutritious and very grateful to the ami
mails, and, withal, fattening, adding to the guam
tity and quality Of the milk.
Suppose, then, you should feed out one. half or
even more Of them to your stock. The conse.
ouence would be- that the balance of them would
bring as much money as the whole carried to
Market so that what you use for fodder would be
clear gain.
why not then, fill up all your cellar room with
cabbages and stow away the squashes in proper
place. and have a daily feast for the animals
through the Winter An almost unlimited
number OF cabbaRes can be put into cellar by
hanging them upon nails along The sleepcTs, and
on poles all the way from the ceiling to the hoor
The squasheS, by using those for fodder that be-
gin 10 speck first, will leave as many the latter
part OF Winter as if they should be kept over, as
is sometimes the case, for better prices
You may ask If this course is just towards the
consumers who are your customers. In reply to
this, we would say, that If one'half of these two
vegetables we're taken out of the market, the re-
mainder would only sell at price which would
bea moderate compensation for the labor and ex-
pense Of raising them in ordinary seasons, and
that is as much as is reasonable to expect.
Those who have large supply OF either could
sell them at a low price as fodder TO those who
have less, and thus divide the benefits arising from
the surplusage. SO confident are we Of the cor.
Tectness Of the reasoning above, and Of the expe-
diency OF the plan, that are willing 20 lead off
the dance by Offering our own crop Of cabbages-
er, rather, two-thirds Of Il, say eight or ten
thousand heads, large and smsll--for six dollars
per ton, on condition that they be used as fodder
and not be re.sold. haywood STREET.

In the middle of the fifteenth century, the
Count of LogrOno was made prisoner by the
Duke of Burgundy. He ransomed his life by
the surrender of immense estates, conditioned,
however, that they should not be sold, and
that after four hundred years they should re.
vert to the heirs of the Count, For this long
time the estates have been enjoyed by the
heirs Of the Duke, and the ultimate rights of
the heirs OF the Count have been kept in view
and recognized. The four hundred years havo
expired, and the arrangements have been
made for the transfer of the property, The
heirs of the Duke have offered to pay 30 O00.-
600 francs for clear title to the property.

The RECENT SLAVE CASE IN BosToN.-We
have had another slave case in this city,
though not fugitive slave case. The slave
was brought to the North by her master, car
ried through several free States, taken into
Canada, mud has been for SONS time in this
State She preferred slavery to freedom, and
was allowed to return with her master. Judge
Shaw, in granting her wish, took occasion 10
reitetate that important principle of law,
which, Tor paItizan purposes, the Supreme
Court has undertaken to ovesthrow, viz: that
a slave taken by his master to free State,
becomes by that act free, and is entitled
to freedom euen after his return TO the State
be came from. The principle, we believe,
has been universally acknowledged by free
State judges in similar cases, and decision
based upon it is on record in Louisiana.
Judge Shaw as an honest man and well in.
formed jurist could do no otherwise than ac-
knowledge the imperative force of this princi-
pie. But his act is directly opposed to the
decision of the Supreme Court in the bred
Scott case, and is the first judicial blow
aimed against it. Massachusetts led the van
in opposition to the tyranny of the English.
She was foremost in her political opposition to
the slave despotism, and she is'now placed by
the act of her chief judicial officer in tt e front
rank of the legal revolution, which will result
in the defeat of the pro-slavery Interpretation
of the Constitution.
That Chief Justice Shaw will be sustained
in his course by the other members of the
Bench, and by the people of the State, there
can be no doubt He has honored himself,
the judiciary whose head he is, and the State,
whose legal interest they care for, by his
manly words of yesterday. He will, most
certainly, have his reward, not only in the
thankfulness of those of whose liberties he
has been champion, but in the grateful
remembrance of posterity, which will not
fail to place beside the name of Mansfield,
those of Judges Curtis and Shaw Boston
