Slave Case In New York

The papers contain notices of the arrival of a Brazilian vessrl at at New York, ond the eflbrts to libérate certain persons on board held as slaves. The questions involved eem to be of much importance. The following paragraph froin the Tribune will give some idea of the nature of the ca-e. "Judge Daly 's decisión in this case will piobably ba given this forenoon. - The worst that con be expectcd is that the two boys, who are admitled by the captain to be slaves, but who are a!o claimed to be part of his crew, may be surrendered as sailora under the provisión of the treaty : but when it is known that they have never had their names attached to the ship's anieles ns seamen, in conformity ot' marine laws of all nations, or received n cent's wages for six years services on board, it is plain that this plea is f,!se, and, as we believe, will prove a futile one, to evade the stalue which seis free all slaves voluntarily brought into this state as soun as they set foot upon our soil. ín the case of Maria, who has signified her wish to continue with her mistsess, though os we believe through false views of vvhat i contemploted in the proceeding3 to sr. cure her freedom, no effbrt has been, or will be made, beyond the plain duly of informing her that she is in a free state and enlitleJ to her liberty, should she choose to avail herself of it. The ciss of the two boys are far different : they have had a long and bitter experience in slavery, and have an intelligpnt view of the blessings of freedom, for which they earnestly long. Thny have constanlly expressed this feeling, and have manife ted the greatest trepidation nt each, dny's delay of the proceedings, fearing thit they might be consigned ngain l) the tender merc:es of the slave master - a fate compared with which death itself would be preferred, as they have repeatedly declared. They declare that they have been cruelly trmted during the voyngR, having been repeatedly floggcd by the captain ; and oncestretched at full length upon a gun with hands and feet secuied to receive the punishment. In some cases Da Rocha has been corr.pelled to inflict the blows upon his fe'low s!ave. Since their arrivnl in thi port Da Costa has been knocked down by the captain, beaten upon the face and head till he was nenrly blind, and then confined in the store-room under astrong lock, with his hands tied behind him, for four dnys, for three of which he was depri ved of fod, in company with Da Rocha, and a!l Pir having dnreJ to ask the privilege to go ashore for e short time on Sunday to see the town. I: is said that in case the shnes are set ni liberty the American government will be required to pay for them. This is simply ridiculous." - Tribune - Friday. i;The Slave Casb. - Judge Daly this forenoon denied the application of Mr. Jay for a hearing as ihe counsel from the first engnged on the part of the slnve. He also denied am tionof Mr. Jay to withdraw the writ, and rrndered a decisión remanding the slaves to the custody of their master. The decisión, he said, is based on the reiurnof .he master of the vessel (whicli was not sworn to, by ihe way,) stating that the men formed part of the crew, regularly shipped in Brnzil. The Judge considered that althoug'i our laws will not recognize slaves ai forming part of a crew, yet the present case must be judged on the laws of Bia.il. As to the young woman, the Judge said he made no order in relation to her, as she acknowledged she is not reitrained of her liberty. The case, we understand, is lo be taken before one of the Judgesof the Supreme Court on certiorari. The men, it said, " at part of the crew," have entered actions against the Captain for assault and battery, in being severely flogged and i 11treated on asking to be allowed, for the purpose of a walk, to go on shore. - Ib. rf Saturday. ff" Immediately under a leading editorial of the National Intelligencer, overflow ing with free sentiment-., appeared an advertisement for the sale of a slavewoman ! A specimen application of the teachings promulgated by the venerated instructors ofseventy years ngo, upon a certain memorable day, a few hours journey from the very spot ! In connection with this occurrence, the remembrance of a recent circumstanci' is suggested. - In the business centre of our city, open to the view of the scores of respectable and refined passers by, of both sexes, almost constantly promenading ar.d riding past this spot, upon an unenclostd portion of ground, owned by the General Goeernment of the United Stales, a negro woman wad last week sold at public nuction. Herownerhad lately purchased her, but having soon discovered her to be unsound, he on this occasion, oflered her for sale. The crowd, upon tl.e invitation oftheseller, examincd her in this public position. She was purchased by the most infamous wretch in our city ! And this vile performance transpires unrebuked by a single journal of the place,
