We also learn that although Messra Handy
and Everett are &c. aSsu in the Ney York
Marine Register as the owners Of tha brig in
1867, this WAS not the fact This bouse wac
formed in February, 1855 and never had any
ownership in the Putnam, as viii be s,en by
the following narrative of the history OF tia,
vessel.
Az we have already stated, the Patnam was

purchased by Messrs, Everett aud Brown Of
this city, and placed in their line of regular
traders to New Granada. On the 9th Of sep
TENDER, 1856, she was sold to Mr. Albert Horn,
merchant in this city, for s4, coo THIS gen
tlemap sold her in the spring Of 1857 to Mr.,
Jonathan S. Dobson. A register was Issued 70
him as owner aud master, by the New York
Custom House, On the 7h of March, 1857, his
| bcndsneh being T. L. Pierce and Rufus Fowler
| Of this city. On the same day she cleared for
| Gatoon, on the west coast Of Africa and a
/, set, with q cargo conristing OF rice, navy
| breed, eartuen@are, three hundred mus&els a
| lot Of hcg-head shocks, some lumber, print
| goods, checks sheetings. Osna5urgs, few
segars and small quantity of preserved meats
| champagne and cheese--tne entire cargo beop
! yaiuga ut SLICE. The outward manifest O
this cargo presented at the Custom House here
was signed by Raimupdo Maria de Brito Or
the 25th Of August, 1857, she arrived at New
Orleans, reporting in ballast from Ambrise
Africa, Dobseo being stu master.
| On the 10th of October she changed ownert
in New Orleans, and the register which hat
been given 10y our Custom House was Cancelled
In that month she was reported IS repairil Z
and afterwards laid on the berth for Havana
under command of Capt. Oliphant, by Messrs
| Goldenbow Il LespaIIe. In November Der aes
tination was changed to Sisal, aud sh,
cleared from that port Oh the lst O
December, with a general cargo. Her sub
| sequent arrival at Havana, return 10 Nes
Orleans, and final clearance from there on the
| 9Th OF March last for St. Thomas and a mar
ket, we gave yesterday. We nov Learn, ~ tele
| graph from Charleston, that she sailed froni
| Loango, Africa, with her present cargo on
the 9th Of July last. In the foregoing exact
history Of the brig there is reason to suppose
! that she was On her second slave trading
voyage when captured by the Dolphin. Al
least such Is the impression in our commercial
circles, and among the merchants the name OF q
Captain Brown is good deal mixed NJ visa
her fret outfit from here for Africa. We now
want to know who Captain Brown aud Captain
1ownshend are and where they al present CAL
be found
