Another vile Abolition Outrage-Mrs. Beverly l..
Clark Robbed of Valuable and Only Servant!
In the list of passengers per the steamer Are which
arrived at New York on Wednesday last from Aspin-
WALL we find the names of Mrs. Beverly L. CLARK, child
and infant.
Mrs. Clark is the widow of our late Minister to Qua.
temaa, who died in the capitol of that republic On the
18th of March, Some interesting particulars of his last
illness Published in columns On last Saturday
They were furnished by the Panama correspondent of
the New York Times, from which journal they were
copied.
Mrs. Clark took passage in the Ariel, Capt. Minor
which sailed from Aspnwali the 9th She had with
her, besides her two little children, very likely young
muatto female slave who had been raised in her family
had been with her during all her residence in Guatemala
and had proven herself faithful and devoted servant
Soon after the Ariel got out sea- this Captain MINOR
sought interview with Mrs. Clark, and in the most
friendly terms desired her to consider herself under his
care and protection during the voyage, requesting
her to make known to him any of her wants, and
assuring her of his utmost attentions. By his poteness
OF manner and seemingly sincere professions be her
confidence to such degree to draw rom her, in re-
peated conversations, amongst other things express

New York. and the plan she had formed to avoid such
serious prvation, which she intended to adopt upon
her arrival in that CITY, This plan to transfer her.

ceremony unnecessary they would certainly have
frequent opportunity of becoming acquainted on the
way.
The steamer at last reached New York and before
even the gangpank thrown out, the coored stew
ard with the GIRL eaped ashore and disappeared, thus
leaving Mrs Clark with infant in her arms and an
other small child, entirely destitute of servant to
der her the necessary assistance in such time of need

in procuring the services of Irish for her jour

after breakasting at the Bollingbrook HOTEL took the
South Side train for Lynchburg whence she will pro-
coed to Tennessee
The above particulars of this new atrocity of the New
York abotionists we have derived from highly re-
spectacle English gentleman who was passenger on
the Roanoke with Mrs Clark, who heard from her own
lips the narrative OF the outrage and who spoke of to
in the EXTREMIST terms of denunciaton.
There can be no doubt that the Captain (Minor) and
the negro Steward concocted between them whilst at
sea- this vilainous plot of robbng Mrs. Clark of her
property the Arie should reach her wharf in
/ New York. After nsdious wOrming himself into
the confidence of his unsuspectng victim, this man
Minor did not there is every to believe hesitate
to avail himself of the advantage thus obtained and
cOOly and deliberately exposed lady who was under
his protection to the dreadful embarrassment which be
knew she must experience from the Infamous robbery.
In this case have another illustration of the Greely
and Gddings code of ethics, which, hesitate not t.

spirit enough in the majority of her citizens to seize tn
wretches and drag them to justice? We leave thes
questions to the consideration of those in the great En-
