TO TUE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. CannvaL DexGron, Caio Casnz, Dec. 1, 1857. Thave the honor of addreasing you, hoping that you wif ‘De kind enough to excuse me for trespassing on your vato- able time, and that you will grant to suffering humanity seme of your spare moments of consideration. Bt is now twelve months since I was arrested and {mpri- ened in these dungeons by the aathorities of this city and port, and I still remain a close prisoner, confined in & eriminal dungeon, among a horde of the vilest criminals ‘that this country of crime can produce; aud let it suffice ‘me to say, that no other on the face of the earth can bring Sora such a crop. Doring the period of my captivity I have written twice to the late Secretary of State, the Hon. William L. Marcy. In those letters I gave him a full statement of my case and the canse of my unjustifiable captivity, but as yet I havo heard nothing from the home government. My first pro- test was sent from the port of Manila, Island of Louzon, ‘through H. N. Paimer, acting Consul of the United States ‘ef America at that port (Manila). My second protest and statement was forwarded by Dr. P. Parker, Commissioner @f the United States of America at Macao, China, for the veasons and causes therein stated. My third report was from Lima, Peru, with attested copies of the former pro- feats; and other documents to throw light on the subject, and was sent by the Hon. J. Randolph Clay, Resident Minis- ‘ter Pi tiary of the United States of America near the government of this republic. Accompany: ~ this last named despatch from the Amert- ean Minister at were certified copies of autaenticated do-uments, sealed and attested by the British and the an- therities of the United States zing in China (Canton); also my protest, made and extended in the city of San Francisco, State of Californie, by the lega) authority of the Btale, against the Peruvian government and the Consuls of thia republic using the seal of the natioa Notwithstanding these long and tirceome narrations of wrong, violence and fraud on the person and property of fn Axnerican citizen, by highhanded oppression, no re- dress have I been abie to obtain from the aathorities of this republic, and their agents and consuls in the before mentioned ports. Not even here have ended saffer » Yarrived at this port on the 10th day of October, }, Still in pursuit of my crew and ship, they hay. tng abeconded with her from “hioa and San Fraacisco, Before | could take the legal steps for their arrest 0° cap- ture, and on my arrival here as above stated, I at once d@emanded, through the proper tribunals of this republic, the arrest of my crew and the seizare of the ship, with a restitution of my property, butin vain, Although the vessel was then in this port, in charge of the crew, nothing could be obtained from the tribunals in this way, ‘and after repeated attempts, through the courts of justice fend marine authorities, for the arrest of the crew and the delivery amy property still in their hands, nothing but refusal di®1 meet from those last named anthorities, ‘Im this destitute condition 1 applied for protection ant as sistance from the Minister of the United States of America, placing the before mentione’ documents in his hands, re qnesting of bim the protection and assistance taat I sup. poet all American citizens were enti‘ied to wheg wroog- hy oppressed by foreign powers, and refused either a bearing or justice in their tribunals or at the bands of the authorities of the nation. T must say that Mr. Clay then gave my case bis particn- ler attention. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs was noti- fied by him of the violence and wrong perpetrated oo me by citizens of Peru and under the oational flag; that those ‘acts of piracy, fraud aad wrong were aided and adocted by the representatives of the government of Peru abroa tm the persons of their consuls using tha sea! of the n tion. Those representations had no better result than my former ones. To the authorities of Callao, neither Mr. Olay, a8 Minister of the United States, or myself, as one of ite citizens, could obtain any redress from the govern- ment, or even an order ior the arrest of the crew from the ministry of Peru. Petitions in the Spanish language, on expensive sealed papers of the government, were resorted to by me as per advice of Mr. Clay. — were handed wo the Winister of Foreign Affairs by him (Mr. Clay), to sae if anything eoull be obtained by this means. But this was also fruitless. In this dilemma, penniless, and nated for the want of my clothing on board of my ship 'n the hands ef the crew, and the government authorities refusing to delrver them to me, without meaus of subsiatenc, I ap- plied to Mr. Clay for aid, uotil some steps could be taken for the recovery of my property. Temporary re- Nef was granted at intervals, and finally, at the end of six weeks dl active petitioning and memorializing the govern- ‘ment, an anewer from the Minister of State was obtained by Mr. Clay. This consisted of a permission to proceed on board of my ship, and there take an inventory of auy pro- perty or o found there, or euch as the’ crew still in @ommand chose to deliver. The inventory was taken by Mr. William Miles, Consul of the United States at Catlao, ‘and Don Antonio de Ia Hoza, captain of the port. This consisted of my broken open and sacked trunks, my writing desk—the same having some loose papers and @ fow books, some nautical instruments and a few old rags ot sh pms. 4 T made application for a search warrant from government for searching the ship and crew, Dat in vain. {then abandoned ail, under protest, to the government of the republic of Peru. Mr. Clay also re- quested the delivery of sealed documents, under the spe- cial veal of the Consul of the United States of America, and addressed to the legation of the same in Lima. A flat denial of having violated the eal of the United States by breaking it open, and extracting from the envelope the contents, was the only answer voachaafed him from the ministry. Thove documents were taken frou me by force ‘and violence in the of Manila by my mutinous crew. Nevertheless, documents were in the hands of the suthorities of the Peravian goverawment ‘at the time that the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Vaited States of America applied for them. The tacit denial of the charge was the only restitution given by the Perevian government. : Tn this state stood my affairs when, on the 2th of No yomboer, [came from Litas to Callao, by advice of Mr. Ch to extend my protest against the goverment of Peru ita authorities in the Consulate ot the United States of Amo- rica, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America having advanced me the necessary amount of fonis for sv doing, The Peruvian authorities were, by some means unknown to me, advised of this step, and on my arrival at the port of Callso J was attacked in the pu- he streets, and in presence of # large concouree of people at the Post Office door, by armed men, wearing the un - form of the nation, headed by the chief of the crew of my ship and others of his associates. Several of thom I have identified since in thin prison, aons oy iste et at Jarge by the authorities. Toose were also ientiled by several of the persuns who wore standing by, som of whom gave evidence to that effect in the Consulate of the United States of America in Callao, where they stand re- corded in the archives of the Consulate.

Both Clay and Mr. Miles have withdrawn their protection not tire your patience by giving you any detail of the ways and means they have of trying citizens in the legsl courte of this republic. In one werd allcan be said and explained—that is, tha. humanity apd justice have lost ground here since the aup- preasion of the tribunalsof the Inquisition. In those tribu- nals, at least, the accused and his accusers woukl be Drought face to face, Besides, the accused was silowed othe right of defence, &c. The charges brought against him were mado known to him. You are told that such is the case now—that the prisoner has a right to demand this; but he might as well ask mercy at the hand of a hungry tiger or an African byena, us one of the magis- trates of this republic, when he receives pay to retain you in his clutches. As forthe laws above stated, if they do exist, they are only in print er writing, amuse the Judge when he chooses to extol che graadeuracd liberty of the tribunals of Peru, in some long bombastic oration on the humanity and entigh enment of the goveroment of Peru. put these Jaws in practice by any of the magis- trates of this country is @ thing not to be thought of, moro especially if the accused should happen unfortunately to be an American. Such is the deplorab‘e state-of affsira at this moment that I do not know at what instant the kni'e of the assassin convicts may be at my throut, w put an end to my mésery, as 1am well informed that the wuthori- ties dread to set me at iberty, knowing fall well she niga banded and illegal measures they have taken for my ~ap- py and defrauding me out of my property.

After the flagrant outrages commited on my person and property, the destruction of my character as a man, an American citizen, and a shipmaster for the last ‘twenty years, the disgrace auch a step would bring on my family, I determined to sasrifice the remain- der of my dayain a dungeon in preference to so vile a step, and conseqnently I refused it. This broaght further hardship on my head, as I was closely confined. Since, my letters and correspondence are intercepted ant destroyed. The means of writing have been several times taken from me. On these last acts of violence ant wrong Mr. Clay has |ooked insilence. Although I have advised bim repeatedly op the subject, nothing but con- temptuous silence met my entreaties, and [ was at once abandoned to the mercy of the worse than inquisitorial tribunals of this country. Of what erime I am accused of 1 know not, without it is @ crime to defend myself against the murderous attack of a herd of assassins, hired by the Peruvian authorities. To substantiate what I now state, L must refer you to the evidence taken by Mr Miles, Consul of the United States, from respectable persons who were eye witnesses of the scene of the 26th of November, in the public strects of Callao. Many ot those persons offored to give their evidense before the authorities; but they were rejected by the Judge, who also refused to receive trom the Consul of the United States the depositions of others who gave them in the Consulate for the sake of justice and humanity. Let it suffice me to say, that according to poblic ramor 1am condemued to suffer two years imprisonment im the chain gang, for some !maginary crime that no person has committed: but what that crime or its penaities are I am entirely guorant of, as 1do not know of what I am ac- cused, nor havel evor been made aware of it by any person, judicisliy or ever extra-jadicially, by the authori ties—not even of the trial That, or tue sentence passed on me, by anybody except public ramor,aa I have before said. ‘The only answers that I can get from the repre- sentatives of the United States are these:—-Mr. Clay says that the Legation cannot, and he will pot, mix himself up with the legal proceedings of these people, and conao- quently canuot provect me from violence, or see that an American citizen shail have a fair and impartial trial, ac- cording to the laws of the country. He tells me in one of bis letters on the subject that they must be the judges Consequently a citizen of the Uaited States is not entitled to the same privileges as the eommonest assassin or hign. | wayman in Iert, as the law will protect them, and all its | Lamy en are extended to them. Mauy instances of the have come beiore my notice since my captivity bere. In this way are we abandoned to the teader care of Peruvian justice, as in the fable the sheep to the wolf, who is only awaiting with hupgry impatience to devour his victim. These people pridé themselves, whea they getan Amorican in their clutches, and all vie with each other who cap abuse him the most—the Gringo—a oick- mame for any of the Saxon race. Many crueities Lave I seen inflicted on the persoas of American citizens and other defenceless foreigners in this den of infamy and oppression.

Tne probability is that when they will be made known to tho public, they will be discredited: nevertheless, “y § are undeniable facts, as many of the sufferers are yet living evidences.

In this way they were again suspended m the air, bending the body in an uneven position from that of {ts natural way, aad left im this ion until clots of blood were raised from the stomach.

Colonel Inglis is the grandson of the Rey. Dr. Charles Inglis, who was the rector of Trinity church, New York, from 1777 to 17 Upon the breakin out of the American Revolution he took sides wi the crown, and was a violent tory during the whole contest. After Mr. Galloway ‘tarned traitor and went to England, Dr. Inglis was his regular corres- pondent, and hia letters exhibit much bitterness againet the leaders of the Revolution. Upon the conclusion of peace in 1783, being too much com- romised to remain here, he left New York with the ritish army and went to Nova Scotia. He estab- lished himself in this province, and he was soon afterward appointed Lord Bishop of the colony. He was the first Protestant bishop of any Bri- tish colonial possession in either hemisphere. In year 1809 he was appointed member of the — Provincial Conneil. State of New York confiscated the property of himeelf and wife becanse of their adherence to the Englida government. He died in 1816, aged eighty-two years, in the fifty-elighth of bis ministry, and the twentyainth ao his consecration. Bishop Inglis, at hie decease, left a son and danghter; the Jatter was named Anne, whe married the Rey. Geo. Pidgeon, and died i@ Helifax in 1827, aged fifty one years. The son was John Inglis, who, in 1825, was created Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, and made a member of the Council, which position, we believe, he held to the day of his death, which took place a few years ago. fh connection with his sacred office, we would mention that in 1826 Bishop Inglis con- firmed four thousand three hundred and sixty-seven age vet and consecrated forty-four charches within his diocess, Colonel Inglis, of whom we write, and who is Nepeepe w hero of the garrison of Luck- now, is a son of the last mentioned Bishop Inglis, but we are unable to say at what time he entered the Britieh army, or give a further record of his military history. It is probably an excusable weakness that we should feel a degree of pride to record that this gallant officer is the grand son of an American.

There is not much of interest stirring here at pre- sent. Business is exccedingly dull. Siringa, which is the staple article of this province, not being in de- mand on your side of the water, has reduced it to almost a drug, there being only two or three houses taking it. This is severely felt here by all, but es- pecially by those houses who are heavily indebted to the importers and expected to pay their debts with rubber at the former high rates—for this article for several years has been the “gold diggings” of the Amazon, but when that faila to be a profitable busi- ness, Many, very many, must suffer, and, indeed, are already hard pressed, although none as yet have fairly caved in, The Amazon Steam Navigation Company have commenced curtailing their expenses by taking matters rather “crab fashion,” for instead of being an advantage to the mercantile community, and fa- cilitating the operatious of the merchant, they have in many cases retarded business, by promising to carry goods and then refusing, even after they had taken them into possession for that purpose; and to go to law with them about such a thing would be like “sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind” in this country. The company have hauled off seve ral of their steamers, and instead of having, as we ought to have, a weekly communication with the Barra do Rio Negro—now called Manares—we only have one round trip per month. The Barra is only ove thousand miles above, on the finest navigable stream in the world, with a very perceptible ebb and fiow of the tide over half the distance, even at San- tare, with scarcely enterprise enough by this char- tered company to make this one trip per month. ‘Their boats are all English built but one, which is American, formerly called the Bay City, and builtin New York for the San Francisco and Sacramento trade, but got injured in trying to double Cape Horn, and was sold in Rio Janeiro on account of the un- derwriters, and was purchased by this company for the Amazon, where she was brought, some eight or nine months ago, and only made one trip to the Barra, when by some kind of management she col lapsed a fine, and killed two men. They have suc- ceeded in repairing the damage, and she has again taken her place in the line, for by the present man- agement of the company a steamer only makes ono trip in two months. The steamer Rio Negro, one of those hauled off, was sent to Rio to be sold, but at or near the island and city of Maranhan, some three hundred miles south of here, she ran ashore and has been condemned, and of course sold to some insur- ance company. ‘There was also an English brig, the Bella Portena, lost at the Braganca shoals, at the mouth of the Amazon, ten or twelve days ago, with her entire cargo, which is valued at fifteen thousand pouads sterling; but no lives were lost. Notwithstanding rubber is down, there is still op- schapige: for Yankee enterprise on the Amazon or Para. For instance, we are nearly half the time, on an average, without a pound of fresh beef being in market, and thousands of cattle on the Marijoe Island, not more than sixty miles distant, ranning wild in herds of thousands; and the only excuse given is that they have no facilities tor bringing them to market, when an ordinary horse boat, such as was once used on our own rivers as ferry boats, would be sufficient to aap up a supply of meat in our markets, But a small steam tag it might be made a very useful thing here in more ways than one, and [ think « profitable affair too; but we are a slow people here and need stirring 2 Another thing: we are far behind in a supply of saw mills, If you want to build a house you must either set a gang of Indians to work before hani to cut your lumber for you, or pay such an enormous price for everything in that line that one oe fright- ened, and gives up the job in despair. mall the boxes that are used to pack our rubber and other pro- duce in, have to be imported from the United States, and pay a duty of six vintems, or about six anda quarter bed pene: for by the new tariff now in of al use nearl, Il the importations ure charged duty by pound, which very heavy upon some articles. The city is quite healthy at present. The weather is spore pleasant, considering the rainy season has now fairly set in, although we have had two snd- den deaths recently, and one suicide. The deaths were said to be apoplexy, a disease not uncommon in this climate. The authorities appear to be waking up somewhat since we got the new President and C of Police, both men of talent and , and who appear to be willing to do their daty without fear or favor, a thing much needed here past. Feasts, fire rockets ond pty barning are rife as ever. No matter how the times may be the saints must be attended to properly.

Railroad Speculations—General Law and Whole sale Land Surtgudie—Legal Financiering—Judges and Judiciary, &e. ‘The effect of the revulsion of public confidence in railroads is every day showing Itself in this State, and the parties who heretofore have only swindled foreign capitalists in auch works as the Madison and Wabash Valley roads, are now tarning back upon each other, The latest dodge is, however, the rich- est, and the spoils are likely to be of the best. The Legislature, in February, 1852, passed a general rail- road law. In June following they directed the Secre tary of State to publish it, which being done by him put the law in force, Under that law the Wabash Valley Railroad and several others organised, went on and got subscriptions, and under it some have completed their roads and others have partly com- pleted theira. Atthe time of the passage of the general railroad law another was passed, authorizing railroad companies to receive subscriptions payable in lands, which they have all done to a greater or logs extent. Now see the beauties of the jadiciary. The property holders along the line of the proposed roads subscribed and paid in cash, but the speculators sub- scribed lands often at five times their value, and took stock in pay. Now, the stock speculations proving failures, they have gotten one of the District Attor- neys to bring a quo warranto against a company in which there is jarge land subscriptions, (made by brothers, partners, &c., of our Senators and (iov- ernors,) by which they propose to have the General Railroad law declared not in force at the time of the organization of their companies, and thus get their lands back without cost, after having had their operas on them for the last three years.

A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat, writing from Alabama, Genesee county, N. ¥., gives the following account of the investigation into a horrible poisoning case which hag jast come to light in that locality. Some time in July, 1856, Wonry Hong, a respectable citizen of this town, died quite suddenly. About six weeks after his death a little daughter, five or six years old, died after an illness of only twenty-four hours, Suspicions of toul play Were entertained by some at the time, but no action was taken in the case, Last spring, an infant child | —horn subsequent to Mr. Hoag’s death—died afiera short illness, Suspiaion was again aroused, but | nothing was done. Last fall another child, some two years old, died under still more suspicions cir- | cumstances, A post-rnortem examination was had, but the chemist fo whore the child's stomach was sent neglected to analyse its contents. Rat the com- munity had hevome satistied that the death of | so many members of a fumMy, under such circnm- | stances, required further investigation, and the bodies of all of them were exhumed, and the stomachs of the three first, and a portion of the dur’ denum of the last, secured, and upon analysis, ar senie was jound in them all, Suspicion at once pointed to the wite and mother as the per who administered the poison, and she war arrested and | is now in our cownty jail at Batavia, awaiting the | | action of the Grand Jary, which sits next week.

Some years since, three ot'er of her children died quite saddenly, with «yimptoms almost precisely similar to the last ones, and it is ine | ferred that she poisoned them also, from the fact that she confessed that «he did it eecidentally and through mistake, Altogether, this is one of the most horrid cases on record. That a woman would poison her husband may not be incredible, bat thata mother would poison, deliberately, ove after anotiver, six of her own offapring, ceeme too inhuman for be fier. ‘Wor: | efore the Leg!:iature.

Fen. 10.—The United States vs. the Bark Panchita —Tbis ‘was a proceeding to forfeit the bark, as having been fitted out fora slaving voyage. In October, 1856, @ libel was ied againgt the bark on a similar charge, and in Decem ber, 1856, the cause was heard and the libel dismissed, and the vessel went tosea. She afterwards seized op the coast of Africa by # British man-of.war ands ent to this port in charge of @ prize crew. On her arrival here a libel was filed againet her on July 8, 1867, to for- feit her, and process was iasued in that case. ir the vessel was seized under that process, the return day of the process was altered without the order of the Court, for which irregularity the Goart directed the process to be bet aside; whereupon, on Au; 7, 1857, the government tied a new libel against the Sark. but did notices the one of July 8 until the case was on bearing. Judge Bette decided the case in December iast, but his opinion bas been recently written out, and is accordingly given at length :— "Ke ited States ve the Bark Panchita, J. P. Weeks «4 —Berre, J.—The multifarious proceedings on the part of the libellanta in this proeecution seek vo etablish the poimt that the first outfit and undertaking of the vessel ‘was op @ slaving voyage, and that her second departure snd conduct were ip continuation of and for fulliment of the same object. The two enterprises havo accordingly been treated by the prosecutivus as continuous and com- mon by the parties concocting the same and carrying them op with the characteristic that if the two cagnot be legally connected, the actings in each constitute a sub- stantive offer ce, and eubject the vessel to forfeiture, in- dependently of cach other. The theory of the defence is that the whole transaction, cofar as itis cpen to a crimi- pal accusation, was embodied in the first fitting out of the veasel, and her seizure and trl therelor—and her action jaa bar to the subsequent suit. The issues upon the bel fied October 6, 1665, on the firs: arrest of tho ‘veskel, and the claims and anawers of the parties in de- tence were determined on the final hearing in December term, 1866, by the an acm of the Court in favor of the claimants, dismissing the libel and ord ing the vessel and cargo discharged from custody. The proceediugs upon the libel dled July 8, 1857, were set aside in August tern theroafter, because of an irregularity of practice in altering pe return day of the process of attachment after the saind had beon served and the veesel attached thereunder, and the action was finally discontinue 1 in Court by the libellants Nov. 5, 1867, whilst the cause was under hearing. The action commenced August 7, 1857,to which numerous dofeace was inter ed, was brought to final beariog and decision in December term, 1867. The Court ruled that tne pre- vious decision of December term, 1856, waa net a res judicata in the matter uncer prosecution in this vuit, and ‘also that the pendency of the suit instttutea July 8, 1857, ‘was no bar to the action commenced August 7, 1b67—it bot resting: bee the same facts or actings of the same partiee if such ientity in the cases could in a civil action terpose apy impediment to the prosecution of a second suit whilst a prior one remained undispored of in Court. The trial ct this cause has beea an excedingly protract.d one, involving an extended and searching examination of testimony and discussion of pointy connected with the formalities of the proceedings an. the merits of the case. It would he uninstrnetive to set forth the svideoce at large upon which the criminatity of the voyage was maiatained and resisted. There were no fac‘s of avy moment of a criminating character brought to light beyond whit was mere) ugainet ber Oo the first arrest in 1458. Substan tilly the same cargo and equipment were on board, and the crews were of a rimilar composition, and the govera- ment failed proving that any part of her cargo or eqnio: ment of the veseel was unsuited to aa bogest tra ling voy age, and especially adap‘ed toa siaving one Witnosses conversant in the trade along the western coast of Africa, and mercbante engaged for years in it, agreo in stating that the outtitor the veewel corresponded with that of those engaged in lawful commerce, It also was made to appear tha: this bark might, with slight alterations aod additions to ber arrangements, have been expeditions) and easily prepared ow th bt by aid of most obsained there, pnd place doard a cargo of slaves. taken out with her, A to prove more than the vessel was foond inastate in which it might carry. on a voyage in lawful articles of expertetion or trade upon the coast or to the United States, or embark in a slavery voyage Upon the intrinsic evidence derived fr ? ontfit and the composition of her crew, nothing more can be considered established again t ber than reom for suspicion that those fact ities might be mtended to be perverted into an illicit voyage; but being equally compatible with ® legal and bouest purpoye and employment, the law favors a presomption of an fano- cent abd pot a criminal design on the part of ber owners end master. (1 Guv. Ey., 34, 35, und notes; 2 Cowen's & Hill's; Notes to Phill, Ev., 297, 298 ) If an equivocal state of fitment in the vessel would authorize her arrest aod copdempation, the same rule applies to vessels engaged in traffic on the wert coust of Africa, ant, rigidiy € a might break up the entire commerce of the country in that region, as declared by the Court in the previous de cision in this case, The compatability 0” ber preparation with an jl {sit or lawful employmen’ does not subject the vessel to any implication or infereace that her engage- ment or destination was illicit That line of proof acc rd ingly must be pronounced inadequate to produce demmation. The prosecution went into proof 0” dec! y the master of the bark, and her supercar ‘ana charterer on board during the voyage out to Africa and after Ler arrival there, to show the guilty purpose of the voyage. This wax competent evidence that end. Statements of such parties respecting the employment of & veese! entrusted to their charge are sofflcieut to bind the vessel and the interests of her owners: they have the effect of declarations made by the owners themsel vee None of that testimony was of relovancy or weight on that bead, except that of Robert Hodge, who went the voyage as mi and testided to express doclarations of the master t him that the bark was engaged in a slaving voyage, and to propositions from him and the | charterer w the witness to connect himself with it. Those statements were fo fuilaad explicit as to demonstrate beyond question, the guilty character cf the voyage, an the deliberation with which it was projected and prow jotting ik up and carrying it on. Everything on board vesvel, in ber fitment and ation, and on ber conrse out and upon the coast, was perfectly compatible with the declared purposes in. puted to her master, supereargo and charterer. If the testimony is credible there can be no proand for hesitancy in deciding the offence proved, and provouncing the confiscation of the vessel But testimony of Hodges, in my judgment, is totally discre: ited by his own , previous statementa under oath, very deliberately and cautiously m4 te on different ocetsions, in which he attest ed that he believed the voyage an innocent and legal one in every respect, and that be never heard from the owner, or master or supercergo (also charterers), an intimation that it bad suy copnection with slaving ad- venture, Thess oaths, in writing, were voluntarily made by him in this cause very deliberately, and on full explanation between him and soweral highly respecta bie and intelligent persons. In there he wilfully and copniderately perjured himaelf, or did #0 on his contrary esseveration on the trial in court im relation to the rame facie, No reeonciiiation between his adverse statements of those plain facta is a there seems no poseibility of making one. So far, theo, aa bie testimony |* invoked in this case, it must be utterly repu diated, except it be corroborated by other credible evi dence. None other is offered wo that end except that of the Portugnere steward, Joreph Antonio, who gave a ram Diing and incoherent account of some conversation be. tweenthe master, supercaryo and another person at the table during the voyage, bh Was imperfectly beard by him, and appeared, according to hia version, so far ar it is comprehensible, to have been a remark of the charter er or custodios, the third person, shathe should like to send eeveral hundred slaves in verse! if be had a chance to do so, He denied, however, ever hearing the master speak on the subject, and was not certain that any remark was mare by the supercargo intimating an inten tion t© employ the vessel to carry slaves.
