At 9 o'clock 2. m., March 11, 18534, S. M Booth, an able. aggressive, enthusiastic Aboli- n fapatic, then publshing a daily paner in Milwaukee, received a patch trom W. L. Ctiey, of Racine, also a radical ALolitionist, who published a newspsper there, that a negro _the uncultivated haunts of Nature, named Joshua Glover had been captured near that city the nigit belore as a fugitive stave claimed by one Garland, of Missouri, and that the United States Marshat (C. C. Cotlon) had probably run ki through to this city. Mr. Booth southt an interview with Marshal who pleaded ignorance ol tne atlaw. Andrew G. Mitler of the United States Court was then appjed to tor intormtion, and he said a warran: fad been issued out of his court for the arrest of Glover as ao alleced tumtive slave, but whether zuv action had been taken he did not know. It was soou learned rhat Glover wasin Mil- waukee County Jait. that he had been as stated setzed the meht. before in Ravine County. and had been brought throush over the country roads in a vlose =arriace. in irons, and rthat he had sulfered Irom evwe bruises waich he re- ceived when arrested. Writs ol _habeas corpus were got out and served on the Sherifl: bat he answered that the newro was not in lus eustody, but that ot tie Marshul. A sitmiar wnit was served on the Marstal. ¥ t noon anothier dispatch was received from Rucine, siating that an. immense public meet- ing was being beld there, and that a hody of g from there would arve here un the even- boat. Buoth issued both dispatches in an extra, and 3 public meeting was called, to be beld immediatel, ‘There being no time 10 cet nd-bitls, Booth mounted a bud-Tuced livery-borse and walloped through tue streets, his Jonz hair and winskers streaminig n the wind, and shouting to the top of his voice, “ Freemen, to 1he reseae.” Vimlanee commitiees were appoiated ut the meeting, aud the city was in @ violent and riot- ous turwoil_throughout the afternvon. At 5 o'clocs the Racine crowds arrived; they rei forced the meenur. Report was made that the Wwrit ol habeas corbus would uot be obeyed, iu- flammatory speecaes were made, and it wias stated thal Judge Miller had declared that tae neero would be kept in jaii until Monday morn- ine; that his case would then be heard, aond that if nc was found to be a fugitive he would Dbe delivered up.

NEWPORT, Aug. 25.—The days of picnfcs and garden-paruies will soon be amongst the Dblessed memorics, and it is doubtless oW Lo this fact that they form now the principal entertain- nts. The picnies, however, rather carry the ¢ over the garden-parties. Whether it is tha the long season of dress gayeties—which, of course, ull Newport enLertainiucule arg more or Jess—incline the hearts of those who are o soon 1o leave these lovely shores to fly from the Wattean cultivation of their fine gardens to 1 do pot - know; but certain it. is that just now uncultivated Nature is to the front I the choice of the pleasure-scekers. The other day the Austrian Consul-General o3k a party of tricnds i Stewurt’s drag ou a pienic to the Third Beach. This beach is entirely out of th‘c way ot the crowd,—the day excursionists, Alt is in the vicimty of Hanging Rocks, where Bishop Berkeley wrote his *Minute Philosooher” in 1729, and which spot is now always associated in the student’s mind with that benizn spirit, who was the dirst visitor from abroad that had made ewpori the subject of pancgyric. I don’t think TIE GAY PARTY OF THE CONSUL-GENERAL cared much for this fact, if they knew it. The wentiemen appreciated a great deal more, no ddoubt, theerab-ishing ; and the whole party,. after ihe crabs were caugnt, on leavingtue beach, found their luncheon—which 3 neighboring scribe cails * mawnificent,” and which was served ut tne Hanging Kocks—of vastly more fiinportance than auy sssociations of the past, Anothier of these outdoor parties was a clam- bake eiven by a New York zentleman ap South- wick’s Grove in honor of Senator Bayard, of Delaware. “I'hink of the Chevalier Bayard at a modern clam-bake!" said some oue in reference tu the event. Bur, if the Delaware Senator should be really a itneal descendant of the Knight *without re- proacn,” he will be none the less knightly for a clam dinner. And report says that this Bavard of the dav and of Delaware did ample justice 1o the Rhode lsland bivaives, and expréssed him- self as a iiearty admirer of this pecuiiar *insti- tution” of the little State. But let us pause 4 moment and think of the honor and rlory that are awaiting this “msmlu- Tion.” Witn the news of the comiog of the Brizish war-vesseis Belleronhou, Areus, and Sirius, of her Majesty's navy, to Newport, a meeting of the Gentlemen’s Club was called to consider what should be done tor THE ENTERTAINMENT OF TIE LRITISH VISITO! ‘I'wo and twenty of the wentlemen acree to mee the expenses of a line entertainment. The next move is that 4 steamer he chartered, and the entertunment shalt be given at one of the shore resorts along the bay. Aod what does tigs mean but a clam-buke? The Delaware Bayard, and even his fearless and reproachless nainesake, though he should come back in ahoslly_propria persona to eat clams with a Rhode Jslander, would be nothing to the sight of a tabletull of Euglishmeu going through that performance for the first time; for the Lokl Briton does not take to new things easily. Besides, this ciam-eating is 50 very new and so very odd and urying to every one not to the manuer born. Ilow many times has the Rlode Istander had his Iaugh at the New York, West- cra or Southera strauger and his fuany awk- wardness innanipulating the bivalve in its smoking mot shell!

The bankers of this city agree thot the outiook is good. One of the most cautious of them yesterdny said that to him the prowmise of trade had never'been byighter. People bad about got out of debt; the area of the country supplied by Chicago kept on increasing; the de- mand for the products of this territory was excel- lent, and there wege indications that confidence, that sentimental h:findlspensableelcment n busi- nesa prosperity, was rapidly being restored. An- other banker, whose views are marked by almoat extreme conservatism, gave it as his opinion that there was certainly an 1mprovement in busi- ness this fall compared with tnis time last year.

The movement of last week wag a very large one, both from this city and from the seavonrd, but the visible supply is radidly increasing notwithstandmg. - This, with the inti- ‘mation that the limits un French buyers' orders in British ports lisd been reduced, made our market quite weak, though ail operators were not agreed in beari¢h views. Thecontinued large snpplies of corn alro forced prices down in that warzet, and oats eympathized with it, while barley was stronzer. Provisions were apparently more healthy under a better demand both for spot and fatures, and freights were stronger. Dry goods were in fairlyactive demand and were drm. Buyers are now present in goodly nambers, and the arrivais gre daily increasing Orders by mail also are pouring in from all gnar- ters, ana jobbers express satisfaction at the way the fall season is opening. Groceries continue to meet with 2 good demand. In prices there were no marked changes. Most lines were steady. Prices of buiter and cheese ranzed about the same as on the earfier days ol the week and were fairly firw, the former being in active demand and in moderate supply. Stocks of cheese are larzer, and that fact militates agninst any improvement in prices, whica continoe very low. There wasa quiet and unchanged fish market. Dried fraits met with 3 fair mquirs, and were steady as pre- viously quoted. No chznues in oils, paints, and colors were noted. Lagging was firm under a con- tinued good demand. Leather is movine a little more freely. Coal and wood remain quiet. "Tne lumber mariet was quiet, the offerings of cargoes being lizht. The yard dealers report a fir demand for common stuff.
