SLAVERY IN MAssAcntsErrs.-In the old times,
when slavery was sanctioned in Massachusetts, a
wealthy lady residing in Gloucester vas in tho
habit of giving away the infants Of her female
slaves. a few days after they were born as people
are accustomed to dispose Of 6 litter Of kittens.
One Of her neighbors begged an infant. which in
those days of comparative simplicity, she nourish-

children. The woman had an earnest desire for n
brooade gown, and her husband not feeling able

was arrested here last night. His trial is now
progressing, and causing much excitement.
AFrERNooN.-Great excitement exists here this

freely used, and several persons we're injured.
In the meantime q writ was served on theMarshall

A New TEXTILE MArERIAL.-The Rev. John
Seys, u. S. Government Agent for re-captured Ar.
ricans, who has Just visited Liberia. states that he
saw, at the Liberian National Fair. which was
held while he was there. some stockings made
from the down of silk OF the wild cotton tree. 1t
had been supposed that the fibre Of this material
was so short that il could not be spun or woven.
But the Liberians have overcome that difficulty.
and have succeeded in making a beautiful and
So bstantial article Of hosiery from it. If it can be
knit, il would seem that it can also be woven, and
I'll can. tho African Colony of Liberia may have
tho honor of introducing into the arts. a material
as important as our own cotton. The woods of Az
RIGA are full Of tho trees which hear il. If, as be
lieved, this new material can be used. an important
with tho Liberian coast must be the re.
suit.
