MIXED BLoop We knox of No lers

MIXED BLOOD We know of no LEGAL
question which has caused the Mayor greater
trouble than that of "mixed blood" as provided
tor in the laws of Virginia. The statute declares
that person having less than one-fourth negro
blood. may be furnished a certificate by the Coun-
ty or Corporation Court to that effect which certi
ficate shall relieve him oa,l the disabilities pains
and penalties to which free negroes are subjected
II the Legislature meant TO say that a person of
"mxed blood might vote = or marry a white per.
son-or hold public ofice-or act as Governor of
the State or member of the Legislature-tbeu il
went a bow shot beyond even many of the aboli
tionisis of the North-but if it only intended to
| say that persons of this class should not be re.
qulred to carry register OF their freedom and be
punished for crime only white persons are, the
law is not very Objectionable Yesterday morning
young man named John Quarles, Claiming to be
of ' mixed blood but having in his possession
register of his freedom, was arraigned before the
Mayor for having left the Commonwealth for a
free State and returned TO Virginia. in violation of
law. The prisoner denied that he had been 10 a
Tree State, aud his counsel further urged that his
mother was Of white and Indian descent, and that
he had less than oue-fourth negro blood in his
veins. Owing to the fact that mportant witnesses
were absent the investigation was postponed until
Wednesday morning, after long argument be-
tween the Mayor and Mr.. Minor. as to what the
Legislature meant in passing the statute under
which the prisoner was arraigned.

| A CosJEcTURR.--The New York Courier and En-
quirer contains quite remarkable leader on the
| recent visitations practised towards American
merchantmen by British Cruisers in the Gulf Of
Mexico. We copy from il the following extract:
1t is icopiectured in certain quarters that the
British answer to our remonstrances against visit
ing ships in the Gulf of Mexico, will, in sub
stance be somewhat like the following I'VE have
in no manner changed our instructions to our
| commanders of vessels employed in spppressDg
the slave trade Those instructions were made
out several years ago, and the Government ofthe
United States duly apprized of their nature. On
the coast of Africa. where there is but little Ams
rican commerce, they have not led to any evil
consequences; and when the Administration of sir.
buchanan, some months since, requested OF the
British Government To change the cruising grou nd
of i6 squadron for the suppression of their slave
trade, from the coast of Africa to the coast oil
Cuba, we very cheerfully complied with its re-
quest. 1t appears that instructions which both
Governments deemed judic.ous for the coast OF
Africa, where there was scarcely any American
commerce, have proved to be troublesome on the
coast OF Cuba In the midst of your commerce In
thatquarter. Her Majesty's Government regret
that any such difficulties should have arisen from
the change OF the cruising ground from its squad
ron at the request of the American Government;
and they will promptly give Instructions TO their
naval commanders in the Gulf OF Mexico, aud will
thectualiy guard against similar complaints in the
future"
