SeIXure

SYDNEY, N. s. W., July 12, 1S69.-Captain Palmer,
of Her Britannia Maestys steamer Rosario, reports
that while at Levuka Feejee, he seized the schooner
Daphne, OF Melbourne engaged in slave traffic
among certain groups of islands in the South Seas,
Tanna being headquarters. 1t was ascertained on
being boarded that there were 100 natives belonging
to Banks Group, huddled together naked and inca
pable of making themselves understood, onehalf OF
them being engaged for Queensland: but on the
arrival OF the vessel at Tanna the captain was in-
formed by Ross Levin (who has station there) that
a better market could be obtained at Feeiee, ON
which information he accordingly acted, and which
led to the seizure. The natives were all placed on
shore and put under the protection of the British
Vice Consul, while the vessel taken command OF
by one OF the Rosario's officers and prize crew.

cation OF the case.
on the arrival of the Daphne June T. steps were
taken to bring the before court and the 2ls
June John @. Dagget, master, and subsequently Will

the high seas, knowingly, wilfully, felonousy, and
practically received, conveyed and removed certain
persons, whose are unknown, for the purpose
of their being imported into an island in the South
Seas called Ovalau, with view OF their being used
and dealt with as slaves. After lengthy eXamina-

planters for many years to send vessels TO the dlf-

six pounds sterling. Most of the works now going

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.
Three Thousand Acres Restored TO Delawar
An Old Creek ReODened.

Three Thousand Acres Restored TO Delaware
An Old Creek ReODened.
At the last session of the Legislature, a COM
pany known as the Cedar Creek Canal and
Navigation Company was chartered to effect GER
tain improvements in Cedar creek, in Sussex
county.
The creek had formerly been navigable from
the Delaware bay, q distance of about six miles,
up to place known as the Brick Granery but
the sand gradually washed across the mouth of
the creek SO as to form bar, which at first rem
dered the steam unnavigable, and finally
damned it up so that its waters over1owed the
adjoining lands, rendering of no value nearly
5000 acres of salt marsh, belonging to q number
of individuals. 1t was to redeem this land and
render the creek navigable that the company
was organized.
1t got promptly to work, and;has pushed its
operations with great energy. mud machine
was procured from Philadelphia which last
week completed a canal two miles in length, 80
feet wide and 10 feet deep, from Milford creek
to the point where the distractions commenced
in Cedar creek, and the effect has been to en-
tlrely drain the creek overfowed, which will
now be reclaimed and devoted to agriculture,
and to again open navigation to the Brick Gra-
merry for vessels of light draught.
Thus ends most satisfactorily an enterprise
the failure of which was generally predicted,
the belief of those opposing it being that when
the canal was cut instead of draining the
marshes the effect would be to pour the waters
of Milford creek into the Cedar creek and flood
a few thousand more acres.
Amongst the owners of the reclaimed land is
William McCaulley, of this city.
By the charter, the company is authorized to
levy taxes on the owners of the property re-
passing through the canal, which, of course,
will be done. The mud machine is now engaged
in improving the navigation at some shoal places
in Cedar creek Wilmington Commercial
