PRoCLAMATIoN OF KossUTH.-The Gazette

PROCLAMATION OF KosSUTH.-The Gazette
de Cologne prints some of Kossuths latest
proclamations. He says in one, after alluding
to a former proclamation, issued ten years
ago:
'Siy DAYS before the catastrophe OF via
COS when treason and the Russians forced the
heroic Hunsaria,, people to lay down the arms
they had 50 o'criousIy borne, addressed you
for the last time i have been silent for ten
long and sad years. But. thank God, the mo-
ment is now come when may again raise my
voice and cali the brave Magyar nation to
arms to struggle for the liberty OF hungary
This liberty was struck down on the 18th of
August. lsi9and in its fall dragged with it the
liberty of all Europe. In order to restore it
shall shortly re-appear amidst you on the sa-
cred soil OF hungary. / bring to you my two
sons whom the Tiger Haynau restored to me,
when satiated with carnage, little thinking for
what work of vengeance l should rear them,''
He also says:
Rise, Magyars Sacrifice your crops! Let
them be trampled under fuaeEto the last blade,
by your friends and your enemies swear
to YOU, by the God of the Magyars, that
will enrich your soil for thousand years
whilst re-conquering Hungarian liberty"
Among other things, he says:
'.In the hand of the Magyar every scythe,
as well as every musket, is a weapon. Assem-
BILE under my command, avenge all the Macy
ars who were assassinated by the Hapsburgs,
especially the great Louis Bathiany, and re-
conquer the old Hungarian liberty"

BOILER EXPLoSION.-Tbe Worcester (MaSs.)
papers give the particulars of the terrific ex-
plosion that took place Friday afternoon in
the wire manufactory of 1chabod Washburn
& Co., in that city. The Transcript says:
Soon after the works, which are now under
full pressure from heavy orders, We're started
after dinner 4 piece OF rope caught round
some of the machinery. The engineer was re-
uuested 10 shut off the steam till this was
cleared. This process occupied about three
minutes. The boiler was full of water, and
very heavy fire under. Just as the engineer
started to let the steam, the explosion oc-
Cured 1t took place at the bottom of the
boiler and the reaction of the steam sent the
boiler up into the air with great force. The
little building that held the boiler was torn to
pieces. The tall chimney, SO feet high, was
struck and its upper half thrown down. The
heavy boiler weighing some three tons, tlien
rose perpendiculariy into the air, turned to-
ward the northeast. and crossing the brook
and sailing over the houses in the valley and
a barn and trees, struck with great force in a
garden and then rebounded into Lincoln
street, depositine itself against Il fence. The
distance from the point OF starting to Lincoln
street was Just three-eighths of mile, the
course followed by the flying BOILER must have
exceeded half Il mile. Six men We're in jured
by this explosion; two of them seriously. One
man was knocked down by the conclusion;
picking himself up, he was knocked down by
a brick: picking himself up again, he was
knocked down the third time. He then wisely
concluded to lay quiet.

Daring Rob6ery.-On Monday last, a negIo
fellow named Ambrose, slave to Hiram OliyAy,
was arrested and Gagged for entering the house
of Maria Banks, Il free negress, and stealing
four dresses and u piece of calico. When cap
tured by watchman Liggon, he stated that the
articles in his possession belonged 10 Mary
Susan Smith, but watchman l.. Nj. Carter AZ
forwards learned that Maria Banks had been
robbed and that the goods in the possession of
the prisoner belonged to her. Ambrose tried
to defend himself from the charge of heft, by
accusations against Banks, but his yarn was
such a fimsy one, that it wus entirely disre
garded and he was sentenced to be punished
with many stripes.

THE ITALIANS IN MEXICo.-The position of
the Italians in Mexico is not very encouraging.
correspondent, writing from Monterey, July
~ says that the Italians, being suspected by
the clergy of liberalism, are prosecuted by the
government authorities-at least in that part
of Mexico where the priestly rule predomi-
mates.
On the 1ith of April, Miramon, the great
defender OF absolutisn, shot, at Tacubaya,
three Italians, without even the form of trial.
Their names are yet unknown. In consequence
of these events, the Italian colony at Tobasco

and delightful springs of water in the imne-

and unless they secure the place to which we
nave alluded, will find il difficult To locate

ORIGIN or SIAyERy--Mr lsaflarcft IN hia
first volume efh!s History OF the United States.
g ives an account Of the early traiiae of Euro
peahs in slaves. In the middle ayes the yeua-
lishs purchased white mcn, Christians. and
others, and sold them to The ssaraesns IN Sicily
and Spain. In England the Anglo saxon no.
niiity sold taeir servants as slaygs TO foreign-
sEs. The Portuguese first imported negro
slaves. from Western Africa into Europe in
Ai2. Sps.in soon engaged i'll the traffic, aud
negro slaves abounda,i in some OF tie places in
that kingdom After America was discovered
the Indians OF Hispaniola we're imported into
Spain, and made slaves. Tile Sianiaris visit
ed the coast of North America aud kiduappcd
thousands OF the Indians, whom they trans
ported into slavery in Europe and the West
Indies. Columbus himself kidnapped 500 ma
tive Americans and sent them into Spain that
they might be publicly sold at Seville. The
practice of selling North American Indians
into foreign bondage ontinued for two centu-
ries. Negro slavery was first introduced into
America by Spanish shareholders, who emf
grated with their negroes. A royal etlict of
spain authorized negro slavery in America in
ISIS. King Ferdinand himselfsent from Seville
fifty slaves to labor in the mines. In 1881. the
direct traffic in slaves between Africa and
Hispaniola was enjoined by n royal ordinance.
Las Casas, who saw the Indians vanishing
away before the cruelties of the Spaniards
suggested that the negroes, who alone could
endure severe tolls, might be further employed
This was in ISIS.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Engiishnan
that engaged in the slave trade Iu 1852 he
transported large cargo of iifrieSsx to His
PAMELA. In 1867, another expedition was pre-
pared, and Queen Elizabeth protec ted and
shared in the traffic. Hawkins in one OF his
expeditions, set fire to an African city, and out
of three Thousand inhabitants succeeded
in seizing two hundred and sixty. james
Smith, of Boston, and Thomas Keeser, first
brought the colonies to participate in slavery.
In 1864 they imported a cargo of negroes.
Throughout Massachusetts, the cry of justice
was raised against them as malefactors and
murderers, the guilty men were committed for
the offence, and the representatives of the peo-
pie ordered the negroes to be restored to their
native country at the public expense. At a
later period, there were both Indian and negro
slaves in Massachusetts. In iG2t, u Dutch
ship entered James River and landed twenty
negroes for sale. This was the epoch of the
Introduction of slavery in Virginia For
many years, the Dutch were principally con-
cerned in the slave trade in the market of Fir-
ginia.

now contemplated by the Central Agricultural
Society are completed, their Fair Grounds will
become place of general resort for every citi-

air, will find it exactly suited to their wants.
These grounds will be constantly under the
care Of efficient police, and the plan is, to have
established q refreshment hall, where visitors
can procure ices of all sorts, and such other
edibles as they may desire. Another, and by

Grading the Rerenne La,cs.-Sc3rcely day
passes that there are not one ormore strangers
seen going from house to house, on the suburbs
of this city, peddling laces, silks, linens, nee
revenue laws, and in some instances, doubt
less disposing of the booty of burglars and
receivers of stolen goods. BY this means fine
silks are often bought for less than half theii
value-but the purchasers would feel very un
comfortable if, after making up the goods, the
owners should recognize them by the patterns
and call them before Il Justice TO answer fol
receiving stolen property. In other instances
about for sale by men who have no licenses
SO that thoughtless citizens are thoughtlessly
made parties to cheats practiced upon the
Commonwealth.
