Slxrn DISTRICT CouRr.--Tbe Janua-
~ term Of this court for or parish, con
vened on Mo- pday last. After the en-
pannelIing Of the Grand Jury, his Honor
Judge ROBERTSON addressed them in a
clear and forcible gsnner relative to
their duties, in which he dwelt with no
little severity upon the unlawful traflick
with slaves as being highly dangerous to
the community. His Honor stated in
substance hat the recent attempts at In
surrection in several Ststes, were iE a
measure attributable to the careless man.
ner in Which public speakers discussed
the subject Of slavery in the presence 0:
negroes, during the late canvass. Also
Of the general unguaraed manner in
which the subject was spoken when ne>
groes were in hearing. The press came
in for G share of his Honor's notice, and
he avsiled himself of the opportunity to
touch them up pretty sharply upon the
careless manner with which they indul-
ged in political speculation upon the
same .opic aud intimated that a more
careful course might be pursued With an
equally good effect. He strongly de-
nounced the recent formations of Vigil
ance COMMITTEES for the suppression Of
illegal t,afiel with negroes or otherwise
tampsr;ng with them, as being opposed to
every principle Of law and order 10 civil
lied countries. That in primitive coun-
tries such special safeguards upon the
public veal might be ~calledslnto requisi-
ton 70. temporary purposes, but it should
be frowned down as leading to the most
dangerous consequences. That the Pc.
lice Jurors or the Parish authorities were
sufficiently empowered BY Law to adopt
and enforce measures for the public
safety.
His Honor again comp,imented the
citizens of our parish upon their law abb
ding ~propensities and was extremely hap.
py that nothing had occurred to bring
the labors Of the Grand Jury into requi>
sition. The Court then adjourned out Of
respect to the late JAMES III. ELAN. On
Tuesday after assigning several causes
the Court adjourned until next week.

~ The Police Jury on Monday last

E The Police Jury on Monday last
had no quorum and SO adjourned over
until their next regular sitting. Tie
President Of the Jury, Jas. G. Woods,
Esq, was e~mpannelled as one Of the
Grand Jury when on stating that the
Police Jury were about holding their
meeting, and that his presence was rec
essary to make a quorum, and TO preside
over the deliberations of that body. his
Honor, told him that there was no law
that permitted his release as a Grand Ju.
Tor, and that he would be compelled 10
detain him as such until regularly dis.
charged. Here a question arises: Can
a Judge detain the president Of a Pc
lice Jury under such circumstances p
Cannot some learned Theban expoupd
W. would like to see every member alb.

The Coast Packets.

The writer Of this card, friendly to The
owners and officers of our coast line Of pack
els, respectfully suggests through the medium
OF your paper, that unless more attention is
paid to the interest and convenience of the
painter. they will soon discover a falling Off
Of the very liberal patronage heretofore be-
slowed upon them Other boats more atten-
tive will be the Recipients of the trade
which it is 1 their wish to control. 1t is not
unfrequent that articles OF freight are received
at NeH Orleans, and carried up and down
and back again, before delivered, and some
times it happens TO The great inconven ence
and annoy ance Of the planter, that freight is
put out at the wrong place, or across the
river from the proper landing.
With the hope that the commanders o.
these boats NAV see this card aud profit by
the kind suggestions made, the writer re-
mains friendly to the line.

Of sugar cane in Louisiana has aI'ealy
become very precarious, ~ reason Of tie
severe trosts, and the general deprecia'
ton Of seed cane.
2nd. That If the duty should be taken
of or even suspended for two years, II
will drive many Sugar Planters from

now deepN involved III debt.

THg SLAVE TRADE IN New IoRK.-

Circumstances which have lately come
to light, says the New York Express.
Seem 10 make it apparent that New
York has long been a nest Of slave
and that most of tue vessels
which carry on the nefarious traffic be
tween Africa and Cuba, are owned and
fitted out in New York. The number
Of %siavers fitted out ia this pert within
the last three years, though not easy 10
state witt, precision. cannot fall short Of
twenty. five or thirty. Since Mr.. Me
Keen became United States District
Attorney, in 1854, three slavers have
been seized, aud forty-six men held to
answer under various statutes but only
Two convictions have been made.
