The ohio Slave Case.

CINCINNATI, June up. NJ.
The slave case was called up in the District
Court this morning. Mr.. Mason, for the de-
fence read IN affidavit, the general purport of
which was, that in the conflict the first fire
came from the Marshars posse, and that
Churchill's party were very violent in man
ner, treating their prisoners very harshly.
Dispositions Of several ladies agree with the
foregoing. Sheriff Layton's family deposed
that he was lying seriously i'll, and would
probably never fully recover. Another de-
position states, that the Marsha's nten were
generally armed.

Thomas G. Barring appointed Lord of the

The attention of Parliament had been
called to the increased importation of slaves
into Cuba. Palmerston said that Clarendon
had renewed his representations to the Span
ish government, upon the importation OF
slaves, and it was hoped that diplomatic ne
gotiations would tend to induce the govern
ment at Madrid to take efiectual steps to put
down the slave trade.
The East India Company had taken pos
session of the Island of Perrin, in the Straits
of Babelmandel, completely commanding the
entrance to the Red Sea. The ostensible cause
was that, two years since, an English ship
which was wrecked on the coast was pillaged
by the natives.

The story Of Orsini's escape from The
castle Of San Gioreio, in Maniua, Italy,
is almost too wonderful 10 be believed
An account of i; is contained III recently
published narrative Of lhe prisoners adj
ventures. Orsiu, as is well known, was
arrested and imprisoned about eighteen
monlhs---wc think for the fourth time
since 1S44-on account Of his known
revolutionary tendencies. Notwirhstand-

to lie The safest prison in Austria, he reSol

studied conduct, gained the confidence Of
his jailors, he succeeded in procuring from
tue friends who visited him, small saw.
He SAYS;
"Ha,ing ihus far paved the way, com

which I was obliged to stand-on tip-toe

However IN four days had cut through
the first box; but from having used the saw
without the handle, holding it at either end
in my hand, it broke in two, aud then
set my wits 10 work to make a handle
for the other.
II sawed away some wood from under

portions, fastened one with wax on either

after they were cut through | made ce-
ment of wax and burnt bread crumbs the

"NeyertheIess my work made but slow
progress. At every moment had to stop
and clean my saw, and as often listen to
any noise without. Some days could not
work at all for fear of interruption, and
often | was obliged 10 desist on account Of
the terrible fatigue, and the pain arising
from the distension of the muscles. Often

NEUFCHATEI-
suPREME COURT IL BANc. ).

tLerat, Bolgrad and NeufchateI are three
bones of EuFopeane eohtention at the pres
ent time. HeEat is about to be the cause
of war between England and Persia--a
war which is very far from being popular
with the English people. Bolgrad and
the Isle Of Serpents create slight cool
ness between Russia and England; but this
is likely 10 be removed by the Paris Con
ference, which is probably in session at
this moment. Neufchatel is, after 1.-the
disturbing point in Europe towards which
American sympathy is chiefly directed.
The wreched attempt of the rovalists,
last summer, 10 create revolution in favor
of Prussia in the little republican canton,
has caused all the trouble. 1t has given
Prussia an excuse for reviving claim TO
sovereignty which has been long regarded
as exploded, and Switzerland having deci-
ded and very natural objections TO this,
Prussia growls, and monarchism generally
growls also.
