Who is said to have spent several fortunes ac-
quired in the slave trade-dirccted her equip

Quayle clearing her at the Custom Houte
+" for North and South Atlantic" The at
tention OF the U. S. Marshal or Of some Of
his deputies was called to the singular and
unusual style of her preparations for whal.
ing-for instance, slowing her ground tier
on top of the stone ballast,-but, though
suspicious were aroused nothing tangible
could be found against her, and she was per-
mitted to depart. Her course was first head.
ed for Fayal to keep up appearances, and
thence direct to the coast oil Africa, (what
point our informant did not state.) and took
on board full cargo of black birds, bow
many We cannot say, but an idea may be
formed from the fact that in ninety days
from sailing she landed thirteen hundred Al.
ricans on one of the Windward Islands to
the north OF Cuba. Mitchell (who is In
New York and tells this story) says that. Of.
ter landing the negroes, he went 10 Cuba and
arranged with certain authorities to enter
them ut 3 doubloons (about S50) q head.
which done, he boldly took them into the
public market place Of certain city, and
sold them at auction for an average OF ST.
900 apiece. If this statement, made yolun-
tarily and with no inducement to deceive,
can be relied on, the profits Of this last
cruise of the Montauk amount, aftor de-
Quoting oil incidental expenses, to the COM
Portable sum Of 81 900, 900, which Is some
what better than the best whaling we ever
heard of, and for 8 months voyage will

A Romantic Lovo Affair.

An unfortunate termination TO q love Of.
fair occurred to the chief actor In the tran
saction In Richmond, Val a short time ago.
For moro than month past, o young man
who stands behind the counter Of one OF the
fashionable dry goods stores there, has been
sending rosc-tinted and cologne-scentcd billet.
douI to young lady who resides in the west
ern part Of the city. The lady has acknowl-
edged nothing more than store acquaint.
ance, and has never entertained the slightest
affection for the individual, or answered but
a single one of his notes. Finally these lit
tie paper missives became % exuberant and
ardent In their professions Of love, that the
lady mentioned the matter to an uncle, who
Is her only protector, and under whose roof
she resides. The uncle directed her to an
swer one of the love-striken swain's amatory
illusions, and fix upon stable In the rear Of
his lot, and last Monday night rs the time
for clandcstine meeting. Promptly at the
time mentioned, (half past nine) the knight
Of the yard-stick scaled the rear fence, and
striking jewsharp, the signal agreed upon.
prepared to meet the object for whom he had
prolcsscd such undying devotion. Hc did
not SEQ the uncle and male friend, who
stood behind cow.house anxiously awaiting
his approach, but crcpt softly forward to en-
brace the colored servant, who had been close
ly veiled, and otherwise disguised to represent
the young mistress. In ccstacies he encircled
her waist, and imprinted burning kiss up
on her ebony cheek through the veil anoth.
er, and another still were given, when to the
young lovers horror, q couple Of stalwart
gentlemen darted from their ccnccalmcnt.-
To ny was out of the question. and to stand
still, was state Of ''mastcrly inactivity"
which the young man did not ut all relish.
But stand he was compelled to, and stand he
did, until about twenty-five severe cuts with
Il cow.hde were inflicted. Upon being ask.
ed if hc would then 90 without further par
ley he replied aiIirnativcly without the slight
est hesitation, and clearing the fence ut n
single bound, was heard widening the gap
between his tormcntors and hmsclfat pace
which would make 2.i0 slow time when
