SLAvERs.- of the New York
slavers has been captured off the coast Of
Africa, with about nine hundred slaves on
board. Fortunately they were near enough
to be taken back instead of being brought
home. The vessel with her three officers
has arrived at New York, where the latter
will be put on trial. 1t would be highly
satisfactory if the trial should expose the
names of the New York merchants engaged
in this nefarious business and bring upon
them the moral retribution they so deeply
deserve. Some of the administration pa
pers claim great credit for Mr. Toucey, sec
retary if the navy, because SO many slavers
have been taken under his administration
But the truth is that the slave trade has
enormously increased, and more slaVers
have escaped under this than under any, il
not under all, previous administrations
Our feet on the African coast cannot very
well dodge them all if they try. But we
presume it is fact that the African feet i;

and if the officials in New York and other
ports whence the slavers sail could be put

be done to extiDguish this form of piracy.

rushed from among tho crowd, and daring
the spectators to follow, seized the rope
and attempted to mount the pile of smoul-

drawn out, and at least two sufferers re-
