Another Slaver. --An Havana correspondent of the New Orleans Delta writes under date of Dec. 26th: A large French ship was captured to the eastward last Friday, with 1,020 negroes on board, by a small Spanish war steamer, and brought into this port on Saturday. The owners of the cargo were not on hand to answer signals at the appointed landing, for which reason, and a too near approach to the land, the casualty ensued. The services of the negroes are much needed by the Government at this time, and they will be made useful on public works for the general benefit.
End of a terrible Life. --Sherwood A Miller, a boy ten and a half years old, died in Wallingford, Ct., Dec. 26th. For seven years he has averaged an attack of epilepsy once every two hours. He has sometimes had one hundred fits in twelve hours! Death must have been a great relief so him.
