The U. S. Sloop of War. Vincennes, arrived
at this port on Saturday the 3lst ult., from the
coast of Africa. She has been absent from the
United States about twenty-eight months, and
sailed during her cruise about 45, 900 miles. She
brought as prisoners, the captain and minor Of
hcers OF the siave-bark Orion, which was captu.
red on the coast of Africa by the British steamer
Plutus, and taken to st. Helena, where the of.
tcers of the Orion were surrendered to Commo-
dore Inman as American prisoners, TO be tried
IN the I. 5. Courts for being engaged IN the
slave trade. The crew were transferred to q
prison, ship and the negroes, after being com
pletely cured of their ills, were shipped to the
Island of Trinidad, where they will be app rem
ticed to planters for twenty one years and at the
end OF that time "if alive, will be liberated and
allowed to work for themselves; which must be
very consoling to the "appremtices.' On the
arrival of the Vincennes, on Saturday the officers
of the Orion were handed over to the custody of
the U. S. Deputy Marshal, and a1raigned before
Commissioner B. F. Hallett They were held
to bail in the sum of $4,000 each for their fu-
ture appearance, in default of which, they were
committed to Jail.

not be exceeded in importance by anything
that has occurred in that place since the time
when the British power received its first chez k
from these otherwise peaceful but free people /;
and shows that their "stern old hate of tyranny
is still deep and strong, as in days of yore Mr..
Frank B. SanbOrn, teacher of private school
in Concord, was summoned some time since, to
appear before the Harpers Ferry Investigating
Committee of the U. S. Senate. Mr.. Sanborn
has refused to obey the summons, from the first;
and on the evening of Tuesday, the Sd inst, Mar
shall Freeman sent couple of officers to arrest
the recusant. They arrived at Mr.. Sanborn's
house which stands near the centre of the viii
age, about o clock On entering they inform.
ed Mr.. Sanbom of the object of their visit, asked
him if ne wonld accompany them. He refused
positively; and they at length placed hand
cuffs upon him, and took him out to their car.
riage, which was standing at the door. At thi,
moment, scene of excitement began, such as
has never been witnessed in the quiet town of
! Concord since the famous Concord fight. SIS
ter of Mr.. Sanborn made furious attempts to
drive away the team before the prisoner could
be placed in the carriage: and the driver found
difficulty in keeping the horses from running
! away. The bells of the town were rung, as il
for fire, and this caused furious stampede OF
the people from their dwellings into the streets
! Several hundred persons were soon on the
| ground, and, before the officers could carry off
their prisoner he was torn from them by violence
and kept out of their power, until writ of habeas
corpus could be obtained. Ex-Sheriff John S.
Reyes went over to the residence ofJudge Hoar
who lives i'll the next door, and procured the
writ, which put an end to the mission of the u.
S. Marshal's horde, land they returned to Boston
All sorts of expressions were made by the
crowd. while waiting for the writ to arrive
"These are the men who struck Charles Sum-
ner ~ These are the men who rescued Anthony
Burns !"
On of the officers was knocked down. by
herculean fellow in the crowd; and the carriage
was much injured in the melee, After Sanborn
was released rbe crowd posted man away to
the residence of Justice Ball, and procured
writ to arrest the officers for assault but before
they returned the officers had left. They were
folio az far Low
eight minutes too late. The utmost excitement
prevailed all along the route. Men came gallop-
ing into town on horseback, and the whole COM
munity was aroused. 1t is thought that, if a
writ of hGbeaS corpus had not been at hand, a
fierce conflict would have resulted between the
sympatbizers with Mr. Sanborn, and the United
States officers, and several lives would have
been lost. The excitement of one person in the
crowd-Mr. Rufus Hosmer, aged about fifty
was such as to prove fatal to him. He died at
o'clock the next morning, from the effects of
the excitement upon his nervous. system.
By virtue of the writ of habeas corpus, Mr.
Sanborn was brought into the Supreme Court
the next morning. and after full deliberation, the
Court unanimously decided that the Sergeant at
Arms of the U. S. Senate could not depute his
authority to another person. "a warrant of this
sort must be limited to the person to whom it is
given by the Senate.'' The Court therefore Or
dered that Mr.. Sanborn be discharged from the
Gust ody of the United States officers A large
portion of the spectators Immediately left the
Court house, and when they reached Court
Square, they vented their qualification in hearty
cheers.
What further proceedings will grow out of
this fair, remains to be seen; but it is hardly
possible that the United States will undertake
an experiment in which Great Britain once so
signally failed as it is evident, from the fore
going incidents, that the spirit of the people has
in no wise degenerated. This affair." also, it
should be noticed, has no essential connection
with the slavery question. 1t is simply resis-
lance of an unauthorized exercise of power on
the part of the United States Senate power
which, if not checked, bids fair to overthrow the
right OF free people to be exempt from the
danger and insult of unlawful seizures.
