pears,a ; ivargy amongst, his class, a man of good con •
science, and who, according to human judgment, always
bu an innocent life, died about ten years since. After this
cunt, a certain Judy train descended in spirit to the in*

rung -fa ladder. He and escribed this lamer as rising un*

Benedict Arnold’s Family.
“Lieut.v.ien. James stobertson Arnold died in London
on Locemoei Ui.i. He wus second son of Benedict Arnold,
, V “*“* hjs wde, daughter of Chief Justice Shippen, of
iennsylvmnn. i!e entered the corps of Royal Engineers in
17JJ, and served more than half a century. He married
V !igi...n, daughter of Bartlett Goodrich, Esq., of the Isle of
Wi; ;ht, and tor his military services was created a Knight
of Hanover, was appointed aid-de-camp to William IV.,
and was presented with’a costly sword.”
I he :v;ove named officer was the oldest of four children
whicli Arnold’s second wife, Miss Shippen, of Philadelphia
bore him, viz: James Robertson, Edward, George and So
plna. Ilis first wile boro three sons, viz : Benedict, Richard
and Henry. Benedict, die oldest was an officer of artillery
in the British army, ant!, it ia believed, was compelled to
to quit the service; he died young in the West Indies.—
Heniy entered the King s service alter his father’s defection,
and was a lieutenant of cavalry in the American Region,
lie accompanied his father to St John, and was employed
in Ins business. He slept in the warehouse near the Lower
Love in tin t city, and io.dficd there the night the budding
was burned. He lived afterwards at Troy, New York,
wi.h his Aunt Hannah, and was engaged in mercantile pur
suits. At a subsequent period, he removed to Canada,
wnere he is now a man of property. He received half pay
ans a grant o! lands from the British government. Rich
ard in 1 7dt5 lie was also a lieutenant of cavalry in the
American Legion, commanded by his father. In most
every particular his history is identical with that of
his brother Henry. Persons are still living at St. John who
resided there when General Arnold’s store was burned
IBe impression was, at the moment, and still is, that the
fire was caused by -design, and for the purpose of de
frauding a c npany in England, that had under-written
upon the merchandise which it contained, to an amount
Hr exceeding its worth. These persons differ as to the fact,
whether Arnold himself was at St. Jonn, or absent in’ Eng
la.id, at the tunc of the fire ; and hence the degree of blame
wmen should ! jj attached to the two sons may he uncertain,
i eat. both I Jenry and Richard slept in the store on the night
cd the coming!ation, and that neither could give a satisfac
tory account el t, cause, seems however, to be certain.
JtniK • Robert, .on, whore recent death is mentioned a
bove, wa-the only one of the four children which the trai
tor s second wife bore him, that was born in America. At
tiie tune of tjio treason he was a child, and had just reach
e ‘ Gc.-t Point from Philadelphia, with his mother. He
entered the British army in 17‘.)8, and rose to the rank ol
Colonel of Engineers fie was stat on?d at Bermuda from
181 G to K'iS, and from the last i am and year until 16*23,
was at llahlax, and the commandu g officer of engineers
m Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. While thus in com
mand he was at St; John, and on goDg into the house
nmlt. i-y -Ins father, in King streei, Chi;h is still standing,)
lie wept like a child. He was asm. 11 man, his eyes were
or ro-maikanle sharpness, and in lea ure s bore a striking re
semblance .to ins father. A gout! ma i who has been in
service with him, and was intimate y a *quainted with him,
spe;ias of bun in higii terms of con.me idation, and relates
that ha lias o!ten heard him express- a strong desire to visit
the United States. Since the accession of Queen Victoria
he has been one of her Majesty’s aids-de-camp. In 1841
ho. w&3 transferred from the engineer corps, and appointed
Major General,’ and a Knight of the Royal Hanoverian
Guelph c Order.
Edward, me next son, was some years ago in a banking
house in England, .George, in 1816, was an officer of dra
goons. Sophia— -of her fate nothing is known. It may be
aimed, that the first General Arnold’s mother had six chil
dfun, of.whom lie and Ids sister Hannah alone lived to the
years of maturity. The sister adhered to her brother Ben
eaiei throughout Ins eventful and guilty career, and was true
to.aim in the da:kest periods of his history. She died at
Montague, in Upper Canada, in 1803, and was uniformly
siftted, a lady ol excellent qualities of character.
English Compensation for Lib or a ted Slaves.
Among the awards made by the joint commission, lately
m session in London tor the settlement of claims pending
Is tween citizens of the I .‘cited States and Great Britain and
the governments oi the respective countries, two arc ol’es
pcseiol interest to the South. They are for slaves belonging
tombzensofthe Southern States, liberated by the British
\ v 'est India .I'ithonties. The first is the case ot the biig
('leole—cl.iim for damages for liberating slaves on board
this vessel at Bahama Islands, compelled to put in there
oil account ot mutiny of the slaves. The commissioners dis
agreed on the allowance of the claim, and tne umpire a
- to the several claimants the sum 0f5112,130.
The persons in Ivicmnond interested and the amounts J
due themaio: William H. Goodwin, $20,000; Lumpkin 1
and Lockett $20,000; G. W. Apperson, $15,000; John i
Hagan, $5,000. The judgment of the Commission is a just j
one, and in an international point of view highly t impor- j
taut and gratifying.
The other case was that of the brig Enterprise also bound j
for is ew Orleans. The case is thus reported in the Lon- i
don conespondence of the New Yoilc Post:
Brig Enterprise, J. W. Neal and others, owners of slaves
on board—claim for damages in liberating slaves on board
of said vessel under the iayv§ of Bermuda, when driven into
harbor in that island by stress of weather.
The commissioners disagreed on the allowance of the
claim, and it was referred o tit? umpire, and he awarded
to the claimants the sum cl sls,ooo.
