A Waterspout.—One of these singular phe
nomena of nature, v/hich seldom occur in these
latitudes, happened on Saturday afternoon in
the Bristol Channel. As tho Fanny and Jane)
brig, 118 tons, from London to Bristol, was
proceeding up channel, when about twelve
miles off l’adstow she had her masts, bowsprit,
and everything above dock carried away by a

The Cornwall Gazette tolls a marvellous story
of the finding of an original portrait, of Charles
1., by Vandyke. It had been kicked about
atnnngBt rubbish, and was supposed to be a val
ueless rag. It was purchased for 2*., tho dirt
was brushed off it, and tho possessor has been
offered £2000 for it, and it is considered worth
£20,000 !
The Duchess of Orleans and her ttvo chil
dren are shortly expected in England.
Last advices received from Mr. Lnyard, at
tNimroud, state that in a part of tho building
not far distant from that containing tho thtone,
tho whole of the culinary apparatus of the mon
arch of Assyria has been discovered. It con
sists, among other things, of an immense bra
zen chaldron, and more than one hundred dishes
&c., of the same metal. No golden utensils
have, however,yet come to hand.
Steamboat propulsion.—It is reported that
Mr. Stopporton, of Douglas, Isle of Mon, is a-
boutto take out u patent for an impioyed mode
of propelling steam vessels, without paddle or
screw. He soys, according to his invention
he can propel a vessel with one twentieth part
of the fuel now used, and at double the aver
age speed, while tho machinery will occupy
only about one-fourth of tho present space.
Itis said that among tho agriculturists ot
Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Hereford
shire, there is a grand scheme of emigration
afloat, which projects the purchase of a million

The correspondent of tho Newark Daily
Advertiser says:— »
' It is the opinion of some well informed gen
tleman that the opponents of the Census Bill in
tend to force the measure over from tho time
prescribed by law, and thus strike a blow nt
theUnion and the Government. Nous Vcrrons.
The passage of iho/Iensus Bill, in its present
features, essentially, will be a forerunner of the
fate of the bill to admit California. Every
effort to stave off tho latter measure will fail m
the end. Some gentlemen even propose to ad
journ OongrcsB, for the purpose of attending the
great Southern Convention, and thereby manu
facturing thunder with which to frighten men ot
weak nerves. They seriously meditate this tol
ly. There is a talk of adjourning from June to
September. But it will not be so. I hero are
too many pending meusurcs vitally affecting the
revenue to allow of such a thing.

pmison with that of tho conscientious slave
holders, and we know that this course of reas

not know how to render it otherwise so long as
tho free blacks persist in sticking to the whites,
mixing up with them, serving their tables, cur
rying their horses, sawing their wood and black
ing their boots. By pursuing this course, they
arc perpetually sustaining and confirming the
current impression of the whites that, they wero
intended for servitude, and nro intrinsically
good for nothing else. Wo believe tho fact to
be otherwise, but the moss of them won’t help
to prove it.
It does seem to us that this idea of colonizing
the slave const of Africa, so as utterly and for
ever to root out tho infernal slave trade, is a
work to which the black race among us arecull-

their part to shrink from. No matter whut ob

Abolition Consistency.
Thc lute decision of Chief Justice Shaw, of
Boston, by which the ejectment of a colored
girl from a Public School of that city was
sustained, has bebn quoted to show that aboli
tion professions and practice are sometimes
widely different. Tho girl belonged to the
colored elite of Boston, and her father, who
was a gemman,desired tlmt she should associate
with her equals of the Caucassian race, instead
of attending tho school which had been estab
lished for colored children. The white chil
dren objected to the association, and the girl
was excluded from the white school, whereupon
her father brought an action for damages,which
he failed to sustain; the Judge, in his decis
ion, admitting the full force of thoso “ preju
dices which cannot be mitignted by compelling
thc children of the two races to attend the
same schools.” So much for sociul equality of
ihe races in Boston.
Butin the following article from a prominent
Northern journal, wo have an indication of
something more than common prejudice. We
regard it as the precursor of a movement which
will, ero long, take placo in the Northern
States, and which will show the blacks of this
country who arc their best friends. It is
evident that the writer, who has been a promi
nent worker in the abolition movement, is
getting tired of the companionship of his col
ored friends, and thqt he desires to get rid of
them—to ship them off to become thc subjects
of Emperor Solouque, or to relapse back into
their native barbarism, among their ancestors
in Africa. The Editor is not alone in his views
—he hn3 boldly expressed the real opinions of
nine-tenths of the abolitionists of the North.
There are, doubtless, a few such men as Ged-
ntNGS nnd Seward, who, counting the black
male adults as so many votos, would let them
remain to swell their majorities—but the mass
es at the North, abolitionists and all, have
no idea of making their cities and towns the
asylums of tho colored people who are induc
ed by their professions of friendship to escape
from tho South. They want no companionship
with the “darky” as they call him, whom if they
pity as a slave, they despise as n’[man. They
will persuade him to escape from his master,
after which he may go to—Halifax, for all they
care for him, and wo doubt not that there is at
this day, many a poor black pining and shiver
ing beneath the cold skies and colder regards
of tho Canadians, who from the day he left his
Southern master, has found no resting place,
no contentment, no homo. On his passage
through the Northern States lie found many who
wished him God speed, but none that loved
him so that they could not let him go. And so
they must go. The Northern people will bu the
first to mnke them go, and as their numbers in
tho free Slates increase, so does tho necessity
grow for their “colonizing somewhere,”, thus
proving, what we always contonded, that the do
mestic institutions of 'ho South, whatever ob
jections may be urged against the system, afford
thc only security und protection to the colored
race, while they continue to inhabit the same
soil with tho whites.
The colonization cause has our hearty approba
tion,und we are glad toscethatitsformerenomies
the ubolitionisis of tho Northern States lire com
ing to their senses on the subject. The reader
will however lie as much astonished as wo were
when he reads the following article from the
New York Tribune edited by Horace Gree
ley. This distinguished abolitionist says:
What is to-day the chief buttress and refuge
of slavery among the good men who still uphold

much patient inquiry and extensive observa
tions, that it is their strong conviction that the
negro race arc only fitted Joi dependence and
servitude—that, relieved from this, they must,
inevitably relapse into barbarism, |heathenism
and brutal wretchedness. Talk to them of tho
wrong and mischief of slavery and the duty of
emancipation, and they promptly reply—“Look
