the ngnt was declared draw and the stake money
| (S5O) was divided between them. The principals
would have made their escape with the rest of the

| moved with rapidity, so it concluded to leave
them behind with n second to take care of them.-
In one of the rounds Gdow broke some of the bones
| OF his right hand, but he fought on with undaunted
courage, and it is doubtful which would have tri-
| umphed. Both men are English and hail from

Court this forenoon, for participating in a prize

THE RICE ABDUCTION CASE.
The Boston Herald of Tuesday says:-Amos R.
Nickerson, who was arrested on Sunday morning
last, as stated in yesterdays paper the charge
kidnapping the boy Rice on Saturday last, lat Nahan
was before the Police Court yesterday, and waving
examination was ordered to recognize in $40 0O(
with sufficient suretes in the like sum- for his ap
pearance for trial at the Superior Court for the
transaction of criminal business, to be holden al
Lawrence on the second Monday in October next.
Sidney Bartlett, ESQ.,, represented the prosecution
and Hon. b. F. Butler appeared for the defendant.
The probability is that bail will be obtained.
Great excitement exists in Nahant and Boston at
this highhanded outrage and much sympathy is ex
pressedfor the father. Judge Biglow, ofthe United
States Supreme Judicial Court orMassachusetts, of il
will be remembered commanded the child to be CON-
mited to the of his father on Wednesday of last
week, and the abduction took place on Saturday
Judge Biglow delivered an elaborate opinion in the
case, and in the course of which he said:
"By her act-her wrongful act, the Court is
bound to presume-the child's mother deserted her
husband and deprived him of the opportunity of
ing the position of a father towards him,
for nearly nine years. In my Judgment,
the welfare of the child required that the father
should now have a full opportunity afforded him
free from the influence of the mother, to regain
the affection and respect of the child, of whom he
has been deprived. The evidence in this case
shows that the child's intercourse with his mo-
Their tends to contravene the fathers Legitimate
influence over the child, and render him unruy and
disobedient, cannot, in the exercise OF the dis
erection vested in me- consent to subject him to her
iniluence now. Time must be given, opportunity
be had, for the father to obtain proper control
over his child. This in my Judgment he cannot do,
as the evidence shows. If the child is allowed to
visit his mother. Probably after time, after he
has known his father longer and better, and when
his own discretion and good sense have become ma
tured and ripened, there will be difficulty in al.
lowing the boy free and unrestrained intercourse
with his mother far as is consistent with general
custody in the father But am satisfied that now
such intercourse would impair and weaken the just
influence which the father ought to have, and pre-
vent his gaining that respect and influence over his
child which the welfare and happiness Of the child
imperativey require
If this will cause temporary unhappiness to the
child, it will in the opinion of the Court promote
his ultimate welfare and happiness; and ii it is hard
for the mother, as it doubtless is she must remem-
Der that it is the consequence and result of her own
act, in depriving the father of his child, when he
could have gained the child's affections and made
his obedience pleasure. Upon the ground. there
fore, that the general custody of the child belongs
to the father; that by the wrongful act of the
mother in taking away the child from the father
almost during his entire childhood she has thereby
deprived the father of an opportunity to gain the
affection and respect of the child; and that the evil
dence abundantly proves that the effect of allowing
the child access to the mother is to make him
unruy, disO5edient and refractory, and induce him
to cherish unkind feelings towards his father, and
to prevent the father from having full opportunity
Of gaining his respect and affection, am of opinion
that the welfare and happiness of the child do not
require me to pass any order making it incumbent
the father for the present to allow the mother
to have access to the child. Custody of the child
therefore u"cOndHionoly rendered to The respondent.

THE GOVERNOR OF TRINIDAD'S HUSH
MONEY.
On the oath ulimo the brig William r. Kibby
(No. 70 in your published list) arrived at Key Vest
charge of prize crew from the United States
ship Crusader, having been found abandoned The
suppOstion s, that she landed some three hundred
negroes. Is it not extraordinary that these vessels
are found after they have landed their living car
goes? The United States vessels of war are always
'ust coming in sight," or "they have been fifteen
minutes too late y
| The brig William r. Kibbv, Burns or Byrnes,
cleared January 9th for Porto de Santia her
clearance only appeared in the Ecening ETpress
and the New York Shipping List. (The Custom
house clerk who agreed to furnish 20 the Associ-
aed Press correct list of clearances, and who is
well paid for it, always Suppresses those of slavers;
and if he does hand them n it is after interval
of two or three days.) The William Il. Kibby has
| been owned for the last two or three years by a
| Spanish Mexican firm in Havana largely engaged
in the slave business. A clearance having been
refused her in that port, she sent here partly
loaded and finished fitting out by the aid of POr
| tuguese who was concealed in the third or fourth
| loft of Beaver street store. The United States
| Marshal and deputy knew nothing of it-oh, no!
| Probably certain sail-maker did; they all row in

On the Both June an American bark landed four
| hundred and fifty negroes at Key Breton, about
sixty miles to the Eastward of Trinidad isle of
Cuba The United States steamer Wyandott came
out oil Casda the same morning, but did not see
her. The bark burnt after the cargo was
landed. The Governor of Trinidad is reported to
have received some $780, 900 hush money. The
slaves were publicly sold by auction in the streets
of Trinidad, and averaged about $3.50 each. Cap
tain Stanley of the Wyandott, called on the Cover
nor and found out from him that he knew all about
their landing. 1t is believed that Captain Stanley
has reported the matter to the United States gov
crnmcut, and that ''the old public functionary''
considers it good joke. Your contemporaries have
kept very quiet about the last saver that left this
port, No. Sc, bark Louisa, Strologo for St. Jago.
As she is owned and commanded by foreigner, it
is sincerely to be hoped that British cruiser will
capture her, whether she flies the American flag or
not. SoUTH STREET.
