The modus operandi of what occasioned it; I did not strike him with severity. Cross examined by prisoner's counsel—I walked away two or three steps after slapping him; left him between the galley door and the forecastle door; again I went to him and told him that it was his watch below—to loave the passengers alone; 1 then hada belaying pin in my hand; did not flourish it, or make any attempt to strike him; never had struck him before, and bad had no quar. rel with him. Jeremiah Lay, the carpenter, testified—I saw the second mate and Armstrong on the forecastie; Clark had a bo- laying pin in his hand, beckoning to the man to go below; Istood there till the second mate threw the belaying pin on thedeck and turned aft; Ithen also turned to go to my work, supposing the trouble was over; heard a scream and saw Mr. Clark run towards me and fallin my arms, saying, ‘* Carpenter, I'm stuck; go call the captain and mate; Armstrong followed him up, and, a3 1 was supporting the second mate, raised the dirk in’ the atti- tude ef striking him again; I told him not to strike the mate again; it was a very dangerous stab, and Mr. Clark was confined to his room several weeks. | Alexander Cowe sworn, testifled—I was # passen- ger on board the Celestial Empire; I saw the second mate come along by the starboard side of the ship; girl was | crying; he asked her what was the matter, don’t know what she replied mate went into the passengers’ galley; next I saw Mr. Clark order the prisoner into the forecas- | tle; saw mate shove him with his hand; he hada belaying in, but did not use it; mate turned to go away; prisoner ‘If you use a weapon! will too’’; this was before the mate struck him; the prisoner took out this dirk knife | from hia breast, and the mate retreated; he had turned | away and gone a few steps, when Armstrong followed i tude to do it again; the mate had his face toward the side | of the vessel when he was stabbed, and tho priso: hind him; Mr. Clark did not use threatening language to Armstrong; he merely spoke in his usual tone of voice. For deience, Alexander McClellan deposed—I was a came and shoved Armstrong out of | the galley, and struck him with his fist; then took a be- | laying pin and said he would knock his head off if he did not clear out; then backed him up to the fore hatch, and the prisoner {old him to keep off; I did not see the ‘stab made; saw Armstrong make no’ blow, but he had one hand in his bosom when he told Mr. Clark to “keep off.” Samuel Cox, another sailor, testified that he heard the | alarm, and stood up to see the muss ; that’s alll know about it ; did not see Armstrong stab the mate. Cross-examined by Mr. Ridgway:—Mr. Clark said ‘I'm stabbed ;’’ Armstrong took the dirk from his breast; only | saw him make one cut at the mate; the by the hips; the carpenter came and took »Resumed—Eecond mate said, You useless son of a b—h, I'll kill you;’’ both were going towards each other: { stabbed; they were both scolding one another; the carpen- ter was not there at all; he was aft, making a scotchman for the after rigging. | Cross-examined—Am positive the carpenter was aft | making a scotchman; saw him there a quarter, a half an hour, or an hour, before; did not see the carpenter for- ward; can’t say positively whether the carpenter was aft | making a scotchman. | Upon hearing the evidence and counsel on both sides, the Commissioner said he considered the case as fully | Exrraorpinary Casz—REMAREABLE Devo- | TION OF A MISTRESS TO HER SLAVE.—We have recently learned the particulars of a very strange | history—one of the strangest which the working of | the ‘‘ peculiar institution” has yet brought to light. | We have heard of masters belonging to their slaves, | but we never heard of a slaveholder running away | with his slave in order to give him his liberty. The | following are the particulars:—Nancy, a few years | since a bright-eyed mulatto woman, the alave of a ee residing in Anson county, North Carolina, | led to the free States, which, after unusual hard- | ships, and the exercise of more heroism than is usu- | ally attributed to her race, she succeeded in reaching. | She left behind a husband, who was also a slave, be- | longing to a Mrs. K., of the same county. To this husband aay was strongly attached; and though she was well situated in this State, could give herself no peace until she had resolved to return and attem) his rescue. The long and weary journey to her old home was made on foot, and by night. Arrived near the residence of her husband’s mistress, she lay con- cealed for more than a week in the mountains before she could safely procure an interview. But her hus- | band lacked courage. He dared not risk the attempt torflee; and it was several weeks before this black | (y, Macbeth’s courage could be “screwed to the stick- ing’—or rather to the running—“ point.” At last | he fled, and had nearly reached the Cumberland | gap, when he was overtaken and captured. His mistress, by the way, was but she was in fear of her heirs, who, indeed, were | the parties who c' and captured the slave. Nancy escaped and returned here. The aged mis- tress of the fugitive was so affected by the devotion of Nancy and the desire of the husband to be re- united, that she conceived the strange idea of herself running off with her own slave for the purpose of bringing him to a free State. The Pay were | made with the greatest secresy, and carried out with at she succeeded, and | lately passed through this city, on her way to the residence of Nancy, who is now living with her hus- band. The old lady left what property she had, be- | side this slave, in North Carolina, and has made no attempt to regain it; She is now permanently settled in this State, and is supported by the charity of her neighbors Our informant, whom we met yesterday, K., thinks that there will still be an effort to regain possession of the slayes.—Cincinnati Gazefte, Feb. 9. | More Srecv.arions anovr Samana—A correspondent writes to the Precurseur d’ Anvers, under date of Paris, January 12 :—* Letters re- ceived from Spain, and shown to-day on the Ex- change, seem to throw a new light on the occupa- tion of Samana by our squadron, which has given so much uneasiness to the American press. Spain | has always reserved her rights to her old possessions | of St. Domingo, and she has not allowed them to be ignored either by the Haytian or the Dominican re- ublics. Well, Spain has given over those rights to ‘rance, to cover some important debta, and it is in consequence of this cession that our squadron has be- gun by taking possession of Samana. Such is the *| meaning of the Spanish letters mentioned above, | and I must add that they find credit with a great | number of readers.’ En FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Scunpay, Feb. 12—6 P, M. The stock market during the past week has been | active, and prices have, as a general thing, tended | upward. At the close yesterday quotations ruled | higher than at the close of the previous week; but the backbone of the market appears to be broken. Everything in Wall street is so uncertain, anf’ great | changes occur so suddenly and so frequently, that it is impossible to tell what course prices may take next week. Money is abundant, and rates aro likely | to be considerably lower than those ruling at | present; but there is evidently a growing (eeling of distrust in the character and value of certain stocks onthe market. For some time past new stocks have come up like mushrooms, and they are a good deal | rivate getting up these stocks is well known in Wall street, it having been practised for years. There is hardly a bank, insurance company, railroad, steam- Ship line, or mining company in the street, which has not had its capital made up in some hecus-pocus way. The system is as old as the oldest incorporated company in existence. Speculators in everything | have a way of clearing the law in all their opera- tions. Of the numerous coal, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, and iron companies which have, within | the past year or two, been bronght into Wall street, | not one in a dozen have possessed an iota of the value represented by the capital stock. These com- panies have started with capitals ranging from one hundred thousand dollars to two, three, and five mil lions of dollars, and in many instances not five per cent have been or ever will be paidin. It is true, that asa general thing operations toa greater or less extent | bave been commenced; but thus far, few of thom have shown any results, and what is still more unfavorable, or unfortunate for many now interested, the prospect is at present by no means flattering. willing he should escape, | Coffee.. | Dagtp. plates. 32 | given to will suffice to develope the resources of companies to an extent that will guaranty good re- turns on the investments; whereas it will, in fact, require almost as many years to bring those which actually possess value up to moderately paying points: There are, undoubtedly, grand exceptions; but time only will determine which are really good, which are really bad, and which -are indifferent, The new coal stocks of the Cumberland region which have been put upon the market have been in- flated largely, and to a moderate extent have become distributed among outside parties, at prices ranging all the way up from the lowest to the highest points. The reports, or rather extracts from the reports, of these companies, which have from time to time been published upon the authority of individuals represent- ' ing each corporation, have, perhaps, given fair and just accounts of the property purchased, and its prospective mineral wealth and resources. As for the capitals named, they are merely nominal. The representations made by the parties originating these projects may be exaggerated and they may not; they may be realized to the utmost, and they may not; but outside speculators have been as capable of judging as any other claas, or any individual outside of the private parlors of the boards of directors. There has been a demand for new stocks, and no one can say they have not been liberally furnished. We have no doubt many more, which have not yet been heard of, will soon make their appearance in the street. Their race will soon be run—their errand done. They will then disappear and give place to others. There is, in times like these, an appetite for new speculative projects, and it must be satisfied. The only way to moderate the evil is to feed it with the best material we can get. Mining stocks have been created for this purpose, and coal stocks have been selected in preference to all others, No one can doubt the ultimate value of good coal stocks for permanent investment; but the difficulty is, in making the selection, to tell | which is good and which is bad. The consumption of coal in this country is progressing with suchrapid | strides, that all the most prominent sources of sup- ply must ultimately become immensely valuable; but that time is, unfortunately for holders of coal stocks of the present day, a long way off. Railroad stocks have had their day in the speculative world. They have been run up and down, as the bulls and bears | Obtained the ascendency. They have at times been | enormously‘inflated and ruinously depressed. Im- | menge amounts of money have been lost. After all these fluctuations, railroad securities generally have setttled down upon a sound. solid, substantial basis, and speculators have been forced into other stocks. Mining stocks, particularly coal stocks, have taken the place of railroad stocks. They will have to pass through the same phases, and will eventually reach the same position. According to the European advices brought by | the Niagara, money was still in demand, without | | change in rates, but there was less activity in Ameri- | | can stocks. The Liverpool cotton market was firm, | and prices for American had advanced one-eighth of | apenny per pound. Provisions were active, and pork had advanced, but, owing tothe liberal supply, breadstuffs were quite dull, anda decline had been | submitted to. The demand for sugar and coffee had greatly improved, and a good business was doing. The exportation of specie from this port last week | amounted to $352,627 15, (all shipped by the steam- | ship Franklin to Southampton and Havre). Pre- | viously reported this year, $949,764. Total in | 1853, to February 11th, inclusive, $1,302,391 15. The gross revenue of the York and Cumberland | Railroad Company, for the month of January, 1353, amounted to $6,490 28, against $2,860 13 for the | same month in 1852. Increase in January, 1853, | $3,630 15. | The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of articles other than dry goods imported in- to this port during the week ending and including Friday, Feb. 11, 1853:— .

In two weeks of the month this year the value of imports has been $8,781,488. In the event of the last two weeks of the present month bringing a corresponding importation, the aggregate will exceed that of any month in 1852. It will be seen by the above table that the arrivals of tea con- tinue large; but they have fallen off very much com- pared with last weck. The receipts of wool were unusually heavy, being the second item, as regards value, on the list. Unfortunately, our exports con- tinue limited, and we do not see how large shipments of specie can be prevented. The movements of cot- ton from Southern ports may have been active enough to keep up sufficient supplies of sterling bills to keep down rates in this market; but as they aro usually of a class that does not command top prices, and are not favorites with many remitters, it is very likely that, under the most favorable circumstances, shipments of specie to a continual extent will con- tinue. Weare now at the very zenith of the import- ing season, and we may expect great activity for a few weeks. The aggregate may not be so great as appearances now would indicate. ‘The importations into this port, during the week end- ing February 11, have been as follows :— Barilla, 21,780 pounds; beer, 1,045 casks; bark, 28 pounds; butter, 497 firkins; bleaching powder, 65 tierces; cocoa, 621 bags; coffee, 16,497 bags; coral, 386 tons: chalk. 70 tons; drygoods, 7,713 packages; dyewoods, 34 tons fustic, 180 pieces do., 461,000 pounds logwood’ 181 sticks Gaudelquiver wood; drugs, 1,560 cantara brim- | stone, 40 casks, 26 tons, do., 65 casks flour sulphur, 110 barrels, 15 tons, 60 cases do., 200 bundles, 451 bexes licorice paste, 38 casks argols, 618 casks, 133 tierces soda ash, 213 ‘bags gum, 112 casks cream tartar, 100 boxes and 100 casks chemicals, 32 bales anniseed, 30 balos gentian root, 100 boxes, 83 barrels borax, 119 bundles licorice root, 82 cases opium, 11 half barrels arrow root, 6 cases yellow derries, 20 casks, 6 bales senna; dyes, 155 casks mad- der, 2,950 bags sumac, 122 ceroons indigo; fruit, 20,742 boxes oranges, 6,205 boxes lemons, 854 boxes and bales almonds, 30 barrels, 4 kegs, olives, 131 boxes, 57 cases, 14,262 drums figs, 124 boxes, 659 ca ks, 67 cases, plums, 60 half barrels, 9,470 boxes, 688 half boxes, 5,533 quartor boxes raisins, 260 bags filberts. 875 bales, 100 cases wal- nuta; fire crackers, 3,500 boxes; feathers, 109 balos; fish, 1,851 bbls. herring; 310 bbls. mackerel, 38 half bbls. do.,’ 150 bbls. pickled cod, 134 bbls. trout, 51 bbls. halibut, 280 barrels salmon; honey, 189 barrels, 221 tierees, 11 hhds; hats, 12 casos; hops, 32 pock- ets; hemp,’ 1,809 bales, 15 wenches; hides, 28,752 hides, 11 bales goat, 451 sheep skins; horns, 16,934. iron, 16,685 bars railroad, 28,654 bundles hoop, tons scrap, 1,497 tons pig, 163 bundles scroll; leather, 18 cases, 3 bales calf skins, lead, 5,643 pigs; mats, 1,200; marble, 12 blocks; molasses, 702. hi oie 162 tiercos, 145 barrels; matting, 2.916 rolls; oil, 1,900’ boxes, 2,110 baskets olive, 5 cases oil of almonds, 30 casks cod, 473 ¢acks linseed oil, 25 barrels do.; palm leaf, 945 bundles; aint, 18 Loxes, 20 kegs vermillion, 70 casks black lead, Fiz’ casks paint; rags, 1,404 bales; rattans, 38 bundles’ spelter, 9,720 plates; spirits, 16 hogsheads brandy; 16 | puncheons whiskey; salt, 1,250 3,315 boxes; sardines, 208 cases; 5 barrels, 682 hogsheads; segars, 9,066 116 cases; seed, 744 bags canary seed, | steel, 663’boxes, 326 bundles; tin, 3,14 1,000 boxes terne, 150 slabs tin; tea, 60,288 pa low, 8 pipes, 64 half pipes, 107 boxes; tapioca, tobacco, 88 bales; wood, 1,780 logs, 519 crotches, 72 pieces mahogany, 26 dozen rosewood, 264 logs cedar; wax, {2 balos; wool, 17588 bales, 31 chiquas wool, wine. baskets,’ 1,003 cases, 82 boxes, 11 casks, 550’ barrels, '200 quarter casks; xine, 100 casks barrels, 5,615 sacks; soap, r, 195 boxes, 39 xes, 11 bartels, 107 baga_ mustard; > boxes tin plates, real! road Company gives the annexed exhibit of reeeipts, ex- penditures, &c., during the last fiscal year :-— Wrerery Massacnusetrs Raikoap.

Sinee the date of our last circular there has been s good demand for cotton, at an advance of 1-16 Ib. in the middling and better qualitios of American, whilst the lower grades, though in rather more request, have not impreved in price, The greater steadiness in eur market is to be ascribed to the now general impression Qaat the crop will not materially excced 3,000,000 bales; but still, this requires coafirmation, and holders and the trade look anxiously for later accounts, and should they not show some decided decrease in the reccipts ere long, we are likely te soe some reaction.
