ABDUCTION OF LITTLE ELLA BURNS.
This remarkable little girl, whose
public readings excited so much atten-
tion in this city not long since, is mis-
sing, and a reward of one hundred dol
lars is offered for her discovery. It
will be remembered that the child,
pending some litigation between her
father and Mrs. Burns, to whom she
was indentured, was placed by the
Courts under the custody of a New
York lawyer, who, in turn, caused her
to be sent to shoot kept by clergy
man in this city. From this school
little Ella-whose real name is Eva
Bell Whitten-was, on the Dist of
April, inveigled under false pretences
by Mrs Burns. The child was dress
ed in boys clothes, and Mrs. Burns, in
company with man going by the
name of Dodge, were traced to the
Delavan House, Albany, where they
registered their names as Mr.. Dodge,
Mrs. Burns and son. They were next
traced to Buffalo, and there all trace
of the party was lost. 1t is alleged
that Mrs. Burns is most improper
person to have charge of the moral Gull
ture of a young girl, and it is supposed
she wishes to make money out of her,
by giving exhibitions in the Canadas.
Little Ella" is described as being
/" between six and seven years old, and
rather full in form has small dark
eyes, and lines in her cheeks like an
older person, with large front teeth,
and long brown hair curling naturally"

NOVEL MARRIAGE A couple were
married by Justice Purdy yesterday
says the Detroit Free Press, of the
26th inst, one of whom was female
aged fifty eight, and the other YER
dant looking young man, who had
apparently reaehed the mature age of
about eighteen. He maintained, and
stuck to it, that he was thirty seven
years old. and, in order to make up
the deficiency, she brought her years
down to forty-fve. The dodge did
not work, and upon being informed
that they must make oaths to the facts
they declined, and requested to be
united without any questioning The
young fellow said he had no partic-
ular objection to telling his age, but
the lady was captious, and refused to
diyulge until she was nformed that
she rnnst give up all hope of possessing
the yoangster as penalty She said
ne didn't amount to much as man,
but then he would be handy to have
around, and she thought she might as
well take him, as she had more money
than she knew what to do with, and
wanted somebody to spend it. The
bridegroom looked as if he might fnl
fiji the duty with little judicious
training.

The PRESIDENT ON THE SLAVE
TRADE.-The President communica.
ted special message to the Senate
on Saturday, announcing the capture
by the Mohawk of the SLAYER Wildfre,
with Eve hundred and seven Africans
on board. He refers to his action in
the case of the negroes from the Echo,
and regrets to say that. under the
mode adopted in regard to them, the
expenditures will be large; but this
seems to o great extent to be inevita-
BILE, without violation Of the laws of
humanity. The expenditures on this
scale for the Africans captured on
board the WiEdfre, will not be less
than one hundred thousand dollars,
and may considerably exceed this sum-
It will not be sufficient for Congress
to Emit the amount to be appropria-
ted to the case Of the Wildfre, as,
probably, Judging from the increased
activity of the slave trade, and the
vigilance OF our cruisers several sim
liar captures may be made before the
end Of the yeav An appropriation
ought, therefore, to be granted large
enough to cover these contingencies.
The period, he says, has arrived when
it is indispensable to provide By some
specific legislation, for the guidance of
the Executive on the subject. He
suggests Congress may authorize him
to enter into q general arrangement
With the Colonization Society, bind
ing them to receive on the coast of
Africa, from an agent there, all the
captured Africans who may be deliv-
cred to him, and to maintain them for
o limited period, on such terms and
conditions as may combine humanity
toward these un6ogtunates with just
economy. 1t would obyiate the me-
cessity of making q new bargain with
every new capture, and would prevent
delay and avoid the expense of the
disposition of the captured.
The law might then provide that in
all cases where practicable, the eaptor
shall carry the negroes directly to. At

can agent there, afterwards bringing
the captured vessel to the United
States for adjudication. The captur-
ing officer, in case of bringing the

well as from individuals, the President
has directed that there should be struck

HE CooLIE TRADE. WASHINGTON,
May 27.-Oar minister to China has
thought the conduct Of the captains Of
the ships Afessengsr. Kitty Simpson,
Governor cston. and Pioneer, as
connected with rhe eoofic- traffic, thus
seriously efeetiag our relations with
that Empire. Of sufficiens Importance
to make it the subject matser OF a spe-
cial dispatch to our government. The
attention of the Governor General has
been directed to the indisputed fact
that Chinese were taken on board their
vessels lying at Whampoa, by force or
frand, against the positive rule at the
port of Canton, that they should be
shipped only at thnt place. Minister
Ward says thas no American house
will have any connection with the traf-
tic, but unfortunately ready agents are
found among the English and other
merchants at Hong Kong. american
vessels are chartered by the subjects
of other Governments, and so odious
had become the traffic by recent trans
actions, that other Governments have
either forbidden their vessels to be en-
gagged in it, or so restrained and regu-
lated it as to throw it almost entirely
iato the hands of the Americans. Mr..
Ward expressed the earnest hope that
Congress will pass q law to punish
such offences, which obstruct the faith
full execution Of our treaty stipulations.
He says the horrors of the coolie
traffic, as conducted at Whampoa,
cannot be properly described within
the limits of despatch. The kidnapp-
ing grievances has become SO intolera-
BILE that the Governor General has
been aroused to action, and at Canton
rewards have been again offered for
the heads of foreigners.
The Bill which Mr.. Elliot has intro
duced in the House, as remedy for
the evil, so far as American shipmas-
tiers are concerned, is in accordance
with the views Of the State Depart-
ment.

De required to. land the negroes in some
one or more ports. TO be designated
by Congress, where the prevailing
health throughout the year is good.
At these ports, cheap hut permanent
accommodations might be provided for
the negroes. until they could be sent
away without mourning the expense
of erecting such Recommendations at
every port where the captor may think
it expedient to enter.
On the present occasion these ne
groes have been brought to Key West,
and according to an estimate presen-
ted by the Marshal of the southern
district of Florida, the cost of pro-
vfding temporary quarters win be
twenty-five hundred dollars. But this
is far from being the worst evil With
in few weeks the yellow fever will
prevail at Key West, and hence the
Marshal urges their removal from their
present quarters at an early day, which
must be done, in any event, as soon as
practicable. For these reasons the
President earnestly recommends the
subject to the immediate attention of
Congress He says, in conclusion that
it is truly lamentable that Great Brit
ain and the United States should be
obliged to spend such a vast amount
of blood and treasure for the suppress
sion of the African slave trade, when
when the only portion of the civilized
world where it is tolerated and en-
couraged are the Spanish islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico.

END OF THE FORREST DIVORCE Case.
The ease of Forrest vs.. Forrest, which

last ten years, is near termination.
The cossnsel attended before the Judge

steps already taken. It allows Mrs.
Forrest alimony of 81, 600 year, da-

due upon such allowance, which, with
interest, amount to SAT, 1857. This

to be secured by depositing with the
same company, the mortgage held by
Mr.. Forrest upon the Fonthifl estate,
or other adequate security. Mr.. Van
Buren, proposed amending the order
by deducting the interest upon the
arrearages, which would lessen the sum
about ten thousand dollars, and also
giving Mr.. Forrest ninety instead of
thirty days to deposit the amount and
mortgage in the Trust company. The
Judge took the papers and reserved

mist. perhaps even the wishes of the
statesman. 1t is no longer the over
flow of vessel fulf to repletion, but
the operation Of a syphou which drains
70 the very bottom. If that syphon
may be regarded in any visible form,
= is the railway system, which in the
eres Of every freshman appears to
have one common terminus across the
Atlantic. He sees trains of hopeful,
if not happy, faces going of to the
land of Promise, from which friends
and relations have sent not only invi-
tations but the means of accepting
them. A train starts to catch an emf
grant vessel as regularly as IN England
to catch steamer across the channel.
The emigrant ships have no longer to
peep into every little port to pick up
their passengers They assemble at
Cork, and pass into continuous
stream, if it may be so called, across
that ocean which, wide as it be, is
easier to an Irishman than the gulf
which divides him from England. At
present it cannot be said that there
leaves Ireland as much as the natural
increase, but the causes of operation
are not unlikely to make it exceed that
rate. AS the small holdings are thrown
into larger, and the farm grows on the
English scale, there must be numbers
everywhere bred to the occupation of
land, and with all the ideas adapted
to it, but unable to get holdings that
win require little or no capital. They
GO across the Atlantic as matter of
conrse. Brothers, uncles, and neigh
bors have gone long before, and send,
not only good men, but the substan.
tial pledge of its truth in the shape of
orders on Irish banks. In Ireland the
remark is that these are welcome to

Laborers--that is, men with strong
sinews and thews, who can do Q good
days work and are content to receive
wages, are, as they always have been,
the chief want of Ireland. The new
race of farmers do not like to see them
