The SOUND STEAMERs.-Rumors have been
prevalent for several days that the steamer
Commonwealth, of the Norwich line, had been
sold to the Stonington company, to take the
place of the wrecked Vanderbilt We are in
formed that such is not the fact, although the
Stonington company did offer to buy the Com
wonwealth, and rendered within $25,0O0 Of
what she cost.
Negotiations are in progress for the sale Of
the old steamer Worcester, of the Norwich
line, to party in New York, who wish to use
her as tow boat on the North River The
Worcester has seen her best days. She was
capital steamer, and one of the safest boats
in storm that ever plowed the Sound. We
say this in face of the fact that we came near
freezing to death on board the Worcester on q
certain Winters night.
1t is quite probable that the Stonington boats
will, at no distant day, be transferred to New
London, as consequence of the new Shore
Railroad between Stonington and New London

20 The old and barbarous system of let
ting out the towns poor to the lopest bidder,
is still prevalent in some towns in Connecticut.
The selectmen of Bridgeport attempted to do
this recently, and an injunction has been serv-
ed to prevent them. 1t is practice extremely
discreditable to any Christian community
The man who takes the poor to board at the
lowest possible bid, cannot give them those
comforts to which many of the paupers, by
reason of age and phys ailment, are entitled.
Whatever may be his desire, he is compelled,
by the very circumstances, to give them as
cheap food, and as little of it, as possible:
while their bedding and clothing will be such
as only beggars obtain.
The obnoxious system to which we refer,
does not, so far as our knowledge goes, at
present exist in Massachusetts. If it does, it
must be in some remote and benighted towns,
where actual and practical Christianity does
not exist. If there are such towns, they
should not escape the attention of the Foreign
Missionary Society.

The SLAYER AT New LoNDoN.-Under the
head of Connecticut" we have announced
the fact of the seizure of the barque Laurens,
at New London, suspected of being fitted out
for the African slave trade. We have, at a
later hour, received an extra from the Office of
the New London Chronicle, confirming the an
nouncemnnt, and giving additional develop
ments. 1t appears that the extraordinary char
acter of her stores, being totally unlike those
usually used by whalemen, first excited suspi-
cion. For instance, there were thirty barrels
of rice, of which negroes are known to be very
fond. On Wednesday evening the vessel was
hauled out of her berth into the stream, ready
for sailing. She was then visited by Lieut.
Carson ef the revenue cutter Campbell, ac-
companied by o. S. District Attorney Ship
man, and others. They found on board only
three persons-a "boat-steerer," cook, and
steward. Doubtless the captain, the other of
ficers, and crew, were to get on board in some
clandestine way, and perhaps at another local

CoNNECTIcUT.-The barqne Laurens was
seized by the United States Marshal, at New
London, yesterday, on suspicion that she wa:
intended for the African slave trade. She has
been fitted out ostensibly for a whaling voyage
by firm in Boston. The seizure caused con

We are not quite certain but Gov. Sey-
mour's courteous return of the American fiji
busters, who were wrecked on British Hondu-
ras, was great joke. The present which he
made to our government was one, for which it
is obliged to thank him, and yet hardly any
thing could have been less acceptable. If these
piratical adventurers had fallen into the hands
of the power that they had attempted to in
wade, our government would have been rid of
a troublesome set of rowdies, that it is bound to
punish yet cannot convict, without taking
measures that will offend the supporters of the
administration. If the British government had
treated them rs they deserved to be treated,
there might have been pretext very sorry
one, to be sure, but still pretext for opening
new questions with England, and, bya display
of spurious patriotism and bogus spirit for di-
yerting public attention from domestic ques-
tions, whose discussion is operating with fatal
effect upon the administration.

mission being understood for the scandal was
no secret, the commander of the fleet, with a
malicious courtesy, sent him back, to interrupt
the dalliance Of the French general. --Proci.

DEATHS IN THE GREAT CITY. The mortal
ity in New York last year, reached a ,492
deaths, which in population of 100000 is one
to every twenty mine of the inhabitants, and
shows a good average of life for large city,
OF the deaths fifteen thousand, or three ffths of
the whole, were among children, indicating
the wrongs that infancy suffers from bad air,
and from poisonous food.
The most fatal diseases among children are,
as appears from the tables, infantile conyulsions,
OF which 1865 died and infantum, which car
ried off 1903; the total mortality from the two
diseases numbering 315S, or about one eighth
OF all the deaths during the year. But the
most fatal on the long list of diseases is con-
sumption, which alone swept off 1884, while
there were 1l67 deaths from inflammation of the
lungs, and from diseases of the lungs throat,
&c.--6543 altogether. After these, in numer-
ical order and strength, we must class the dis
sease Of the stomach, bowels and other diges-
tive organs, which have added 6015to the bills
of mortality. For the cause of the large num-
Der of deaths from that most fatal of all diseases
consumption, we must to certain extent look
to the reckless carelessness of our people in re-
gard to the ordinary laws of health and while
this cause remains, we may expect to see con-
sumption occupying the first place on the bills
OF DEATH Perhaps no stronger proof can be
presented of this recklessness-a recklessness
which may, to a certain extent, be regarded as
suidical-than that afforded by the table, show
ing the deaths from external causes. BY refer
ence to this table we find that the whole num-
Der therein set down, 113 were caused by burns
or scalds, l57 by drowning 62 by fractures, 9
by rupture produced by falls, &C., and 20 by
suffocation- There were no less than II cases Of
suicide, and of poison 18-accidental it is pre-
sumed- There were forty-six cases of murder,
which is little less than one every week
The whole mortality of the year shows an in
crease OF 1859 over that of 1857.

RHODE ISLAND PoLITIcs.-The State Re-

appointed to confer with the "American-Re-

not agree, and so the Republicans will issue an
address to the people and call an independent
convention. The dominant party of the State
