CAIITILI Of A SLAV Alt.—The Eepoir, 5, screw, Ciesmaier S. Douglas, succeeded in capturing a valuable prise on the 4th ult. The Espoir wee on her way to Amami= under wee, and had arrived within 200 miles of the idea, het being Isther to leeward steam ems got up togs bur hate the anchorage. The commaoder had just finish taking hie sight' at noon (the master being sick), when the man at the ineethend reported a sail on the weatherbow. The commander went below and find the position of the ship by his observations. Oa coming again on deck and looking at the stranger he was seas suddenly to change his course. "Starboard!" "Oo on full speed !" were the orders given on board the Eapoir, and the little vessel was in chase, the stranger hauling his wind and taking in his studdingsails. At 3.20 p.m. the Repot, was up with the chase and captured her. She proved to be the hulas Clara Windsor,of New York, without colours or papers. 260 tons burden, 720 slaves stated by her crew to been board, and with a crew of fearful•looking miscreants, Zt in number. The prise crew were taken out of her and placed on board the kapoir, while Lieut. Stevenson, with 12 of the Espoir's crew, took charge of the prize and commenced beating their way up to Ascension. no Espoir kept on under steam, but her engines broke down the mane night, and it was consequently a week before she reached the island. The prise arrived two days afterwards, short of water, and with twenty deaths among her cargo. This latter must be regarded as a small aymage. when it is considered that the slave-slack el the ship on which these 720 human beings had been packed was only four feet in height ! The prise was supplied with water and sent on from Ascension to Sierra Leone for adjudication. Slaves at Cuba were stated to be fetching GOO dole, each ; therefore the Clare Windsor's freight remmated a market value of 86,4001. The cod of the " article" was 60 dole. each, or B.ooof. rit 10s. per head is allowed for each slave captured by our cruisers and delivered alive, and half that sum for each slave who may die after the capture of the vessel. The proceeds of the side of the mimes stores and outfit are reckoned in the present instance to cover the expenses, leaving the sum allowed for the hull to be added to the spoil to be shared by the lucky captors.  1-00100 100 100 100 100
