THE CAPTURE OF THREE SLATERS.
In the course ol a debate in shi Brit

clipper-built slaver, the Venus ofijreal
railing capacity, was preparing to leave
the port in order to puisue her piratical
traffic The war steamer at the time

ring this process the silver si i pe l away.
As soon s Captain Hamilton found how
matters stood, heactel with the prompt

officer. We give the sequel in Lord
liorlisle's own wor.is
At daydreuk Captain Hamilton sprang
from his be I. and in less than turce nun
utes the Vestal was under a crowd of
canvass, and as she passed out of harbor-
the foreign ships, among other the Ameri,
cans, like food kinsmen, gave her a

harbor, tlie Venus was recognized by
the whiteness of her new sails, and pur
sued, but night and anothor thunder
storm came on, conjecture she was fol
lowed anl overtaken nt the Bahama
shoals. The Vestal dared not approach
her, there being only four fathonif, leas
a quarter water. Oapiain Hamilton,
however, tried the effect of a long shot,
which pitchel right into her, and she
yielded. Immediately after two other
schooners appeared among the Break-
ers. The vestal couiu - not approai
The Vestal could - not approach
them. What was to be doner Captain
Hamilton went on board his price, and
holding his revolver to his slave cap
tain's head, made him steer straight to
the other schooners, and captured both,
anl found that they contained slave
decks, manacles, and all 'he usual fit
tings of vessels inten.lellor slave trade,
beside seveial letters implicating per
sons in the town and vessels in the
harbor.- When the Vestal returned. to
Havana, towing in her three prizes an
old Araercon said, ''It makes gay heart

Fight with a California Lion.
The following is an account of a con
diet in whsch a younger brother of K. J.
GrtEEKTnr.E. ofSan Francisco, living at
Jacksonville, encountered ami killed
large California Lion, one of the must
formidable beasts of the mountains. The
occurrence took place on Monday the
16th uli: -
Last Monday, while the comrade of
young Grcentr.-e, who is only ten years
of age, was obsent, hearing a barking
and yelling about his cabin after he had
retired, he arose an l discovered that the
toist proceeded from a butcher's clio
next door, and was produced by a wil l
animal. Mr. Grccntren got up, and pro
curing a light took Ins pistol and same
forth; nt the ennio inoin nt he heard his
name culled by the butcher, who bejpe
that the light should - be brought as the
Cayotes were killiue his dog. As he cn
tcred the shop he d'cov, red the dog.who
is a very large and powerful anuna
crnpple l by an immense California lion
On the light appearing the monster loos
ena I himself from the grip of the do.'.nni
suizina ti pieco of beef ina le for ihn door
It was then, for the first time, that a shot
could be riskel. The butcher aime.l
his liea I, but before ho could fire a dog
outM.lc had seize 1 the lion by the lej.
The infuriated beast turned and dispatch
el hi in in an instant, tearing open hi
bowels and laying him dead at the door,
The butcher now fired, anJ ('ie ball
strut k in the neck. The lion instantly
turned about and sprang toward the
butcher, but he was met by a heavy blow
from an ax in the hands ofyounz Green
tioo, which felled him, and he was soon
dispatched.
The lion was then measured and foun
to be six feet six inches long from tip to
end, and his weight was near three hun
drcd pounds.

ket of tners, whii she found, on her
way, a black cow fastened to a tree, Hn

attracted by the latter, which she foun
to contain a beautiful little baby girl

On further examination, she discovered
purse containing twenty-five golden
Napoleons, and an anonymous letter in
timating that the mother of the child was
driven by powerlul considerations to pa
with it for several years; that the 0,000
francs were for the person, who woul
humanely supply her plac, and the
black cow was to afford the child milk

A young man, snmo months since,

e leit lor Illinois, 'anl during hi
absem e lireo brothers, stranscrs, went
to Traverse, and, contrary to cus

inhabitants, made themselves masters of
tho young man's property. On his re
turn he, ol course, claimed his Ion, I;
whereupon a quarrel arose, and in the
heat of anger, the brothers attacKed and
shot the young man.
Ihe citizens wero so incensed at
such conduct, thai they resolved at once
having no magistrate to appeal to.to have
Lynch law, and hang or shoot them
lown at once. The raissiennries, how
ever, interfere' an I persuaded the people
not to take their lives: but they couu
not prevail on them to wait for. the law
of the territory to take us course. Ac
cordingly some c'tizens had taken the
three brothers, tound them to trees, and
with a t-at-o'-nine-tails, made expressly,
cave them such a Whipping as will take
