Mrs. CAREY, from Chatham, Canada West,
is in town seeking to accomplish. an object
which she has very much at heart and which
deserves favor. She comes with abundant
testimonials and there can be no just doubt in
regard to her claim to confidence. The follow
ing from the New Haven Palladium explains
her object:
Chatham, Canada West, is notable as the
residence of a larger proportion of fugitive
slaves from the United States than any other
Canadian city. The entire population of the
place is only 5000 or 7000 and of these, about
2300 are colored people, and over 2000 are
fugitives. The colored people are doing well
in their place of refuge in every respect but
one-they are sadly destitute of opportunities
for the education of their children. There are
but four schools in the town; from two OF
these coored children are altogether excluded
by the prejudice Of color, while the Others,
which are are maintained by government, are
almost worthless, and wholly insufficient to
meet the needs of the rapidly increasing popu.
lation.
An effort is being made by Mrs. M. A. S.
Carey, one of the editors of the Provincial
Freeman, the organ OF the refugees in Canada,
to raise money in this country for the estab-
lishment of large school in Chatham. She
comes with strong recommendations from the
mayor of Chatham, the cergymen of the
place, and several other prominent citizens,
who testify TO the urgent need of such school
and TO the trustworthiness of the highly intel.
ligent lady who has undertaken the enterprise.
Those who are willing to do something for an
object so worthy, may be assured we think,
that their gifts will be rightly And wisely ap.
preciated. Mrs. Carey will call upon some Of
our citizens for contributions, and we hope she
may meet with generous aid"

rhe Reportea ou.preak in Syria.

Mr.. Editor-In relation to the civil war in
Syria of which fearful notice, copied from
an English paper, is published in the Spy Of
this morning, 1 send you the following ex-
tract from a letter written by young lady to
her parents in this city, dated at Suk, ON
Mount Lebanon, Aug. Is, four days after the
date of the deadly and portentous fight, as
given in the English paper. A.
Worcester, Sept "a, 1852
Perhaps you may have heard before this
reaches you, of the social war now on these
mountains. 1t is between the Druses and
Christians (they call them so they have
corrupt form of Christianity not unlike the
Catholics.) There are all sorts of exaggerated
reports Franks being obliged to run for
their lives, &C. Now don't you believe a word
aboutit Twill try to write you faithfully all
about it, if there should be any more disturb
ance, for the report now is, that peace has
been declared. The consul sent us word that
wersIhpJlin have Dragoman to protect us, if we
s@-lAit; but the official despatch last night
was, "There is no fear let no one leave the
mountains for Beirut" AS yet no European
has been molested in the least. One mans
horse was shot under him, because he dared
not gailop away, and, Druses being hid behind
the animal, some one fired at them, and hit
the horse.
Do not be alarmed sleep as soundly as
child. viii both lay me down in peace, and
sleep, for thou, Lord only makest me to dwell in
CHI ok pofh n of-a c,rf
by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by
day. Why should fear, even if the tumult
which is now miles away, comes here?"

SALE OF CoLoRED MAN IN MAssACHU.
sETTs.-Some days since several of the stable
keepers of this city were startled by the dis
covery of fraud that had been perpetrated
upon them by hay dealer-a colored man
who came in almost daily from the country
with loads of nice-looking hay. The people
who had purchased of him ascertained that be-
fore the hay was loaded the dealer was in the
habit of putting quantity of sand in false
bottom to his wagon, which was weighed with
the hay and empted out, after the hay was
delivered, and before the cart was weighed,
thus cheating the purchaser out OF as many
pounds of hay as there were Of sand. This
was looked upon as a smart operation" but
the discovery broke up the mans business.
Since then another fraud by this dealer, as
novel as the other has been discovered. The
hay was so loaded that a person could crawl in
to hole left near the bottom of the cart, and
in this place colored man, in the employ Of
the hay Spectator, was in the habit of conceal
ing himself while the hay was being weighed.
OF course the live freight was upon the top of
the load, when it was delivered, and the pur-
chasers little suspected that either themselves
or the animated one hundred and fifty pound
lump before them had been sold.
Some Of the purchasers have paid for him a
dozen times over, and begin to think it is about
time to take possession, and an animated but
good-natured controversy is going on between
two of the largest purchasers as to which has
the best claim to the fellow. Perhaps per-
sonal fear of the Personal Liberty Law, or
some other of the safeguards OF freedom enact
ments, will prevent them from endeavoring to
enforce their claims, but if there is any statute
by which the man-seler can be reached, they
will gladly see it enforced-Boston Ird0eller

MORAL PHILOSOPHY including Theoretical
and Practical Ethics. By Joseph Haven, d. d.
Boston: published by Gould & Lincoln; pp 366
We welcome this book, not for its originality
nor that we agree with its author in his con-
illusions but because of its healthy moral tone
in general, and of tho candor, industry, and
ability of its author. We are glad to see that
the live questions of our own time and country
have not been overlooked. The ''vexed one'
of slavery reappears here. That patriarchal
institution, which boasts of having not Abra-
ham alone. but Isaac and Jacob also, for its
fathers, he considers, is in violation of the
natural rights of man." Subjects the slave to
the lawless will of MASTER" and deprives
him of that intellectual moral and religious
culture which is his right. Its influence, NOR
ally, on both master and slave, is also consid-
cred, and then the arguments in its favor are
presented, the principal of which, of course,
rest in the Jewish code.
The "hgher law" doctrine passes under re-
view His conclusion is that 'the state has no
right to legislate against the principles of mo-
raj right, or against the known will of God.
When it oversteps, or comes into collision with
these immutable and eternal principles, its au-
thority ceases, its scepter is broken-the
sword is stricken from its hand, and the crown
from its brow"
In regard to the wider inquiry as to the
ground of right, we have brief and comprehen.
sive statements of the views of the great think
ers of the past, and then his own position care
fully stated and defended. He holds that
Fright and wrong are distinctions immutable
and inherent in the nature of things. They
are not the creations Of expediency nor of
law nor yet do they originate in the divine
character. They have no origin; they are
eternal as the throne of Deity they are i'm
mutable as Col himself. Nay, were God him
self to change, these distinctions would
change not. Omnipotence has no power over
them whether to create or destroy Law does
not make them, butthey make law. They are
the source and spring of all law and obliga.
ton" 1t is good book for schools and for
all other places where any attention is given
to the subjects of which it treats.

the FRAzERs.-To-night at Washburn
Hall the Frazers will make their last appear

from the opera, Barber of Seville" An adj
mirer of the Frazers writes to say how much
he prefers above mawkish airs and theatrical
music, "such genuine national songs and bal
lads as have won for themselves a place in the
hearts and homes of the people. The world
renowned favorites of Scotland, and those es-
pecially of her great poet, are Of this sort, and

The STANDING RULE" IN CoURT.-Ine
new rule adopted in the Superior Court, re
curing counsel to stand while examining wit
nesses, was made the subject of discussion in
the court in Boston, last Friday. The action
pending was to recover rent of certain house
situated in Roxbury, Justice Lord on the
bench Upon calling his first witness, Mr.
Park, who appeared for the defence, said that
he had in the other branch of the court made
objection to the new rule imposed upon coun-
sci of standing during the examination of wit
nesses, and the presiding judge had promised
to state his objections to the other members OF

ject but as he (Mr. Park had heard nothing
from the matter he presumed it had been
dropped, and he now wished to file it
with the clerk of the court, and have entered
on record his written protest against the rule.
Judge Lord said that could not be allowed.
Mr.. Park argued that the rule, in his opinion,
bore with great severity upon the members of
the bar, and especially upon the older mem-
bers, who were worn in the service and could
not now sit, except on pain of punishment for
contempt. The judge replied that he could not
hear an argument on the question now; that
it could not properly be brought before a sin
gle justice, but only before the full conrt
which would be in session there in January
At that time the objections of the counsel
might be presented and would receive the at
tention of the court. Upon Mr.. Parks pro
ceeding further to press the point, the Judge
said that he had already given his opinion,
and could not allow further discussion. After
wards, Mr.. Park inadvertently put some ques-
tians to witness while sitting but upon be
ing reminded of the fact by the judge apollo
