EsrELL ON STATE PRIsoN AFFAIRs.-Ihe
State Prison bill was Yesterday considered
in Committee Of the Whole, and General
Estell took occasion to make an elaborate
speech on the subject. lie contended that
he had faithfully adhered to part of the con
tract, but the State had deliberately broken
her part of it. He was to have been paid
in cash, but a month after the contract was
made a new law was passed to pay him in
warrants. He had been compelled to hy-
pothecate them at 20 or 80 cents to the
dollar. She next repudiated them, and
$4,000 were returned to him from New
York. Previous to his contract it had cost
the State about $3.50 per month. 1t now
costs but $4,000. He had erected build
ings, machinery, walls, &c, and now the
magnanmous member from Sacramento
(Mr McKune) wished to break the contract
and drive him from the premises at the point
Of the bayonet. He was at one time worth
$22500O; at present he is "brobe," and not
worth dollar in the world.
He is made bankrupt by the failure Of the
State to fulfill her contract. He had perform
ed his duty faithfully, and had never in his
life been guilty of a dshonorable act. He
would sacrafce his life and would be cut
to pieces before he wonld do anything of a
disnonolabe character. If yonder range of
mountains were a mass Of glittering gold
from base to summit, the possession Oft would
not tempt him to the commission of dishon-
est or dishonorable act. On the "trusty"
system, he would say there are but forty
eight cells in all at the prison, and they
would hold but four prisoners each. Thus
there is room for but 1872 in the cells. There
are 503 prisoners in all, some two hundred
are confined in different rooms, leaving $50
or 200 for whom there is no provision The
State had never furnished room for them,
and it was not his duty to do it. 1t was
therefore matter of necessity that they
should trust to a certain extent, the most
trustworthy among them.

ARRIVAL OIL THE GREAT RGPUBLIc.-1he
clipper ship Great Republic, Capt Limeburn-
er, arrived in our harbour last night, after a
remarkable quick run from New York Of
ninety-one days. AS her appearance has
been the theme of much remark, and her
sailing qualities, carrying capacity, and in
fact everything connected with this mann
moth ship Of every general interest to al
most every person, copy her memoranda
entire. The Great Republic is 1925 feet
long is rugged with four masts, draws "a
feet Of water, and brings about 5000 tons
of cargo She measures 1897 tons, but
from her appearance while at anchor in the
Bay, and would not suppose her to be more
than two thirds that size. 1t will be seen
that her best days work was 4l3 miles and
that she did not take in her topgalIant-sails
from the time she left New-York until she
arrived off the Heads.

A SLAVE CASE IN PRussIA-Francis
J. Grund communicates to the National
lntelligencer remarkable decision in a
slave case, which has lately been given by
the Court of Appeals and the Supreme
Court of Justice in Berlin, Prussia.
The case was that Of Dr. Ritter. citizen
Of Brazil, against one MarcinelIo, his slave,
whom he had brought to Berlin, where he
told him he would simply treat him as a
servant, but on his return home he should
expect him to re-enter on his former con-
diton. The slave however, left his master,
and instituted a suit against him, praying
that he be called upon to prove his proper
ty within a given period, or be forever de-
barred, DC. The local tribunal of Berlin
gave Judgement in favor Of the slave, but
the Supreme Court Of Justice con
frmed the judgement Of the Court of Ap-
peals. DR.. Grund also adds that, in the
written reasons for this decision, which are
always furnished by the Judges in Germany
the Court held that DIR. Ritter had good
caues to claim Mercinelo as his slave. it
being proved that the relation of master
and slave subsisted, and still subssts law
fully in Brazil, the domicile of both the
plaintiff and defendant; that, by the plaintiffs
own confession, defendant had bought him
tor certain sum of money, that it was
proved by a competent witness, merchant
by the name of Rec, that Marcinello, while
at Rio Janero, lived in the defendants house
as slave, using the language and wearing
the badge of servitude, (going bareioo;ed,) y
by which slaves in Brazil are recognized;
=,
in the passport as a slave belonging to the
defendant, The relations between master
and servant are regulated by the laws of the
country where both are domciated, and a
promise on the part on the master, within
a certain limited time and space, not to use
his rights over his slave to the fullest extent
is not tantamount to their relinquish-
ment.
