lioíTON, February 15.—Arretí of another
Fugitive Slave—Riot, and Rescue of the
l^qitive.—Deputy Marsha! Rioiey,and a -
«¡«tonta, arrested at Corn Hill Coffeehouse,
to-day, one Frederick Wilkius, a negro
waiter, on a warrant issued by the U. S.
Commissioner, O. T. Curtis, on a complaint
that snid Wilkins is a fugitive slave. lie
was taken with'nn opposition, and carricd
immediately to the Uuited Siutcs Court
room.
The news uf iho arrest sprond rapidly,
and tho court room was speedily filled by a
largo crowd of rather excited spectators.—
The exatninuliun, however, weut oil' quiet-
ly. Soth J. Thomas appeared fur tho
claimant, and Messrs. Small, Elias Grey,
Coring, and others, for tho defense.
From the documents offered by tho claim-
ant, it appeared that the accused was the
property of John Dobree, Purser in the U.
S. Navy, of Virginia, and that he escaped
in May, 1800. The deposition was to the
effect'that the claimant had soon the pris-
himself, "Well, that fellow thinks he can
play, but now I'll juat show him what I can
do." Taking up his flute, he played the
air of the "Last Rose of Summer," with
variations. Tho blind boy listened with
breathless delight, and following the sound,
he came to the door of Mr. Kyle, and stood
ihoro until the last notes ceased. With a
feeling of impulse he could not restrain, he
kuockcd at the duor, "Come in," said Kyle,
and uot recognizing the lad, he said, "What
do you want, sir'" "1 am blind," said the
boy, "and havo been drawn hither by your
sweet music ¡ do toll me who vou are." "1
am but a poor musician." said Kyle, "and
am travelling with Jenny Lind, as flutist."
"You aro!" exclaimed tho lad; "Oil! sir, do
tabo mo to hear Jenny Lind; I have come
a long way to hear her sing, but the price
of tickets is so high that 1 am too poor to
buy one. Can't you take me to hear her,
sir?" he continued, with great feeling,"!
have heard she is so good, so generous, so
| pretty, and sings so sweetly, that 1 shall
oner in Boston, and conversod with him, never be hippy unlit 1 hear her."
when tlie prisoner acknowledged that he | Mr. Kyle felt deeply for tho boy, and
cacapod from Norfolk. The counsel for tho ¡promised that he would take him to hear
tho lovely Swede. Accordingly, he took
the blind boy that night, and sealed him in
a chair behind tho sccnes. The sweet
songs of the Nightingale affected the poor
lad deeply, and produced upon him varied
sensations. But when Jenny sang "Home.
Syyeet Home," hwjneited intj&ears. On
ii
f
<i
defense asked for a postponement, in order
to prepare testimony. This was granted,
mid Tuesday next, at 10 a.m., was assigned
for tho examination.
Tho Deputy M rshal thon ordored the
room to be cleared oí .-nefttntors. which was
wined in|
.custody of a dozen/meQ^E^y n 'aw
uaetWI
prison fugitive slaves
His I'o.insol wishing to consult with him,
thoy were readily admitted to the room, to
the number of half o dozen, i'liey remain-
ed about an hour, and iu tho meantime a
large crowd of negroes gathered upon the
outside, blacking up the entrance to the
court room; nnd as the door was opened to
let the last lawyer leave the room, the mob
from without suddenly rushed in, seized and
knocked down tho officers in keeping, and
lit led the court room. The prisoner him-
self was frightened at their demoniac ap-
pearance, and fled, with a cry of murder, to
the further end of the room. He was,
however, secured by the mob, who had
speedily silenced the opposition of tho'few
officers in the room, and taken in triumph
down tho stairs and into the street. Tho
officers did not attempt to follow; and with
shouts of triumph the mob hurried oil' witli
tho fugitive, and were last seen in (ho vi-
cinity of Bdkntip street, whero negrues
chiefly congrcgnte.
While the mob was in the court room, the
sword of tho Marshal, hanging ill tho sheath
over his desk; was drawn by one of thein
nnd flourished over the heads of tho officers.
It was afterwards found in tho street. The
mob showed no weapons, though a number
of thn negroes boasted of havinir revolvers
in their possession. Ono negro, iu his
flight, dropped his knife.
There wero several white persons in the
mob, but they did not appear to act in the
rescue. The rescue, of course, caused
great excitement throughout the city, us
one of the tii"st daring outrages upon law
nnd order, ever enacted. It is thought im-
possible to re-arrest tho fugitive, as his
friends havo no doubt hurried him off ere
this to tho Canadian frontier. U. S. M ir-
slul Djvent is absent at Washington.
Mjsomi! Contriuution to tiih Jackson
Montmunt Fuxd.— The following very
hundsomo letter from the Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity,
enclosing a subscription to tli? Jackson
Monument Fund, has been received by the
Mayer.—¿V. O. Uullitin.
New Orleans, Feb. 25,1851.
Sir—I have the honor to trr.nsmit to you
herewith copies of resolutions passed by the
(irund Lodgo of tho Slate of Louisiana ol
Free and Accepted Masons, together with
the sum of ono hundred dollars, appropri-
ated by tho Grand Lodge as its contribu-
tion towards tho erection of a monument to
the memory of General Andrew Jackson,
iu this city.
It is with no small measure uf gratifica-
tion and prido I perform this most interest-
ing duty; and us tho organ of my brethren,
give this interpretation of our feelings.
Our institution teaches us that our first
duty, after that wo owe to our Creator, is
he iovo of our country, ohcdionco to her
aws, nnd respect for her magistrate.
The illustrious citizcn to whoso mcmery
this tnonumen is to bo dedicated, occupied
a station us eminent in our Order, as those
which lie filled in the world as a citizen,
warrior nnd statesman, and wo may bo per-
mitted to hope that the principles inculcuted
in ill our institution, wero not altogether
without influence in kindling and sustaining
the pure and holy flame of patriotism, which
burned so ardently in the bosom of our de-
parted brother and revered Chief Magis-
trate, and stimulated him to those deeds
which form ono of tho brighest pages of our
country's history.
In tendering this our mite to tho accom-
plishment of that wh'cli is so justly duo to
the memory of one, to whom this State es-
pecially owes so much, we are actuated by
tho desire of fulfilling a sacred duty; of
of grutefuliyjy^Mt'jdiyw'*iuing homage
was, Mr. Kylo liten told hor the history
of the lad in a fow words, which much in-
terested her; and sending for him the next
day, the poor boy left the generous song-
stress one hundred dollars richer than when
ho reached the city.—Pic.
