tion to Liberia.”
Among the 472 applicants for passage
from New Orleans, noticed in that article,‘
there is a company of slaves, whose cir-i
cumstances, in themselves interesting, hasi
a peculiar claim on the humanity of this,’
State. Captain John Ross, of Mississippi,l
by his will in 1836, left 170 slaves an am-
ple provision to go to Liberia. By litiga-
tion they have been detained twelve years,
and have increased to about 240. By‘
compromise they have this year the op-
portunity of emigration, but are destitute
of the means. In the bark Nehemiah
Rich, which sailed from New Orleans last
January, 35 of them went out as pioneers
to prepare the way for others. They now
ask for aid, and the Board of Managers of,
the N. Y. S.'C. Society have resolved, if‘
possible, to provide adequate means for
them. Six thousand dollars will be re-
quired, and at present, including funds in,
the hands of our Treasurer, Mr. Allen,
and pledges from respectable persons,
about one-half is secured.
As Agent of the State Society, I would
appeal to the public and friends of the
cause, to send donations for this purpose
either to Mr. Allen, 57 Wall street, or to
our Colonization Office, Brick Church,-
corner of Spruce and Nassau.

XXXt/z C'ongress.——The House.—Wlien
the present Congress first assembled last
December, it was politically divided as
follows :
\Vhigs, 115; Administration, 110;
Abolition, (Tuck,) 1; Native, (Levin,) 1.
Since then two Whigs have died, and the
place of one (John W. Hornbeck of Le-
high Co. Pa.) was supplied by the election
of Bridges, Adm. Wisconsin likewise
wise elected two Locos after its organiza-
tion as a State, swelling the Administra-
tion strength to 113, while the deaths of
Hnrnbeck and John M. Holley of this
State had reduced the Whig force to ex-
actly that number. But the seat of David
S. Jackson, Loco, of this State, was vaca-
ted for undue return by a vote of the
House, reducing the Adm. force to 119..
One Adm. Member (Black) from S. C.
died, but was succeeded by another (VVal-
lace) of like faith, making no change The
Session closed I13 Whigs, (including
Giddings, Root, Palfrey, implacably hos-_
tile to Taylor, and not counting Tuck and
Levin either way) to 112 Locofocos, in-
cluding Wilmot and three or four Free
Soil men from this State. At the recent
Election in this State, Horace Greely
(Whig) was chosen from the Vlth Dis-
trict in the plrce of David S. Jackson, Lo-
co, and Esbon Blackmar (Whig) from the
XXVllth, in place of John Holley,
Whig, deceased. This increases the
Whig strength to 115, the original num-
ber. The bolters from Cass and Taylor,
however, are so numerous that no party
has a clear majority. The Van Biiren
Free Soil men hold the balance of power.

Lockjaw.—l have noticed lately several
deaths by loclijaw, and for the informa-
tion of all I would give a certain remedy.
\Vhen any one runs a nail or any sharp
iron in any part of his frame, take a com-
mon smoke-pipe, fill it with tobacco, light
it well, then take a thin cloth or silk
handkerchief, place it over the bowl of the
pipe and blow the smol-.e through the
stem into the wound; two or three pipe-
fulls will be sutiicient to set the wound
discharging. I have tried it on myself
and five others, and found it to give im-
mediate relief. lf the wound has been
some days standing, it will open it again,
if the tobacco is good. Try it, any one
who may chance to get such a wound.

Immense Swarms of M'rickerel.—A mack-
erel mine appears to have been discovered
off Cape Ann, "quite as marvellous and
more profitable than the gold mine recently
discovered in California. The Boston
Transcript says:
Not long since, within a circumference
of about six mile, within a short distance
of Eastern Point. Light, there were six
hundred fishing vessels engaged in catch-
ing mackerel. The crews of vessels of
all sizes, from 5 tons up to 19.5, were bus-
ily engaged the Whole day ; and, according
to several estimates made by some of the
oldest inliabitants of Gloucester, it is sup-
posed that at least 12,000 barrels have
been taken, valued at $1C-0,000! An ‘ex-
cellent day’s work this. The n'iac.kerel
very nearly all No. Is. Some vessels,
from the South Shore, with crews of four-
teen men and boys, caught over one hun-
dred barrels each,and put into Gloucester
on Tuesday evening to “ pack out,3’ and
procure a fresh supply of salt. A friend
informs us that the sport was indescriba-
bly exciting. Towards evening the mack-
erel struck off towards the South Shore
and were followed by about 300 sail of
fishing vessels.

Conversions to Protestan(i'sm.—Rev. M r.
Norton, Secretary of the American Prot-
estant Society, took occasioii to refer, in
few evenings since, to the fact that wit_hin
the past five years, during which the So-
ciety has been employing missionaries and
colporteurs to labor directly for the con-
version of Romanists, they have had good
evidence to believe that in connection
with these labors, not less than one thou-
sand Roman Catholics in this country had
embraced the true faith, in addition to a
much larger number who have renounced
the Papacy, and ranktd themselves as op-
posers of the Church of Rome. These
conversions have taken place from among
the French, the Germans, the Irish, and
the Portuguese. Not a few of their priests
are now preaching the faith which once
they sought to destroy.

A COSTLY BED.
Quite an unpleasant feeling was excited
among the bar-keepers of one of the pub-
lic. houses, in Ann street, on Wednesday
night, in consequence of the sudden disap-
pearance of two bills, of five dollars each,
which had but a short time before been
placed in the drawers by the landlord. The
bills had most mysteriously disappeared,
and those who had access to the drawers
knew of no other conclusion their employ-
er could come to, than that the money had
been taken by one of them. They diligent-
ly searched every place where they thought
it might possibly be, but with no success.
Again looking in the drawer, a small piece
of a bank bill was seen to fall from the
counter, over the place from which the
money had been taken. A more careful
observation being made,a. hole leading to
the upper pannel of the counter was dis-
covered. The counter was taken apart,
when, a few feet from the drawer was
found a bed, made entirely of bank bills,
in which there were nine mice. They were
immediately despatched, and a further
search produced $23 in bills, all of which
were more or less mutilated. The heads
of bills, amounting to about $40, were
found in the bed. The anxiety of those
who felt that the blame of the disappear-
ance of the money must have fallen upon
themselves, was greatly relieved by the dis-
covery, though the proprietor was some-
what aggrieved at the idea of having sup-
plied the mice with a more costly bed than
that used by himself. The proprietor had
every confide:.ce in the honesty of the
young men; but had not the money been
discovered as it was, the feelings of those
young men, though innocent, would have
been most unenviable. If morebeds of the
same sort, which exist, could be found, the
foul suspicion which often rests upon the
character of the innocent would be re-
n1oved.—Iierald.

Tee Seduction Case.—An examination
was made yesterday before His Honor the

the complainant it appears that she first
became acquainted with Johnston about
fifteen months ago in Albany, wherein
the course of a month, under promise of
marriage, he succeeded in seducing her
from the path of virtue, and persuading
her to accompany him to this city, and
