Missionary. Outrage and Excitement near Xenia. On Thursday of last week, a man named McCord, who had been stopping in and about Xenia for a few days, and who Is re- presented as being a disreputable person, deft that town in a buggy and drove to- ward Selma. A few miles out he over- took a coloured. man whom he suspected of being 4 fugitive slave, and asked him to get in and ride to the next cross roads. 'The negro thanked him and got into the buggy, but at the first farm house McCord said he must féed his horse, and persuaded the ne- gro to wait. McCord went into the house and succeeded in making a bargain with the farmer to help in securing the supposed slave for half the reward." 'The negro was ins ited in a room to eat, was seized, tied with ropes and placed in the buggy to be driven toward Cedarville on the railroad. The man who had assisted and his son accompanied Mc- Cord. After proceeding a mile or two the slave broke his rope and then broke for the | woods, chased by all three of the party. The old man nearly overtook the negro, when the latter turned and dealt a blow so powerful that it broke the arm of his pursuer, but he was soon after caught, beaten, and tied into the buggy again. Before they had proceed- ed much further the negro broke the cords a second time and had nearly escaped, when McCord grappled with him, and the others coming up, a fight ensued, in which the negro was beaten until he fell dead ! The party placed the corpse upright against an oak tree at some distance from the road and fled. 'The body was discover- 'ed, and on Saturday the frightened son of the farmer confessed to the circumstances above narrated. 'The three culprits are now lying in Xenia jail.

The following is from a letter from a eutleman who has been observing men and things at the South. It was written on the 20th ult. We extract an account of a hor- rid affair which occurred in Nelson county, Va., on the 18th, two days before the letter was written : "TJ had not thought that so heart-rending a scene from 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' would come under my own observation. Day be- fore yesterday a slave, a young. man in the prime of life, was whipped to death by the overseer of a plantation in this neighbor- hood. 'He was worth $1,000.' The over- seer tied him in the barn, and beat him for four hours. I am told that he was whipped for a very trifling offence.. .When so ex- hausted that he fainted, the poor fellow was washed with brime, then whipped, and washed again. This was repeated six times. He was tied up soon after breakfast, and re- leased about one o'clock, and sent. to the field to work. He fainted in the field. A shower came on, and he contrived to get 'into the barn, where he died--While tbe overseer was beating him, he begged of him to shoot him; while he could speak, he kept moaning, 'O massa !' His master and mis- tress are not at home. 'There is great indig- nation in the neighborhood, but what they will do I cannot say. 'This is not the first Legree I have heard tell about ; but it is the first genuine Legree case that has fallen under my observation. 'The overseer has not been arrested. and moves about as if he had done nothing uncommon."-- Buf- falo Democrat. Sununary. = ERS mo 'Sickness amone tou Emrcrants---The steamer Lord Elgin, belonging to Wilson Browne, Esq., of Hamilton, arrived in this city, at Maitland's wharf, Monday afternoon, direct from. Quebec. 'The vessel was literally loaded with emigrants from Germany, and the poor creatures were in a most filthy state, and many labouring from severe illness. Two men and two children, we are informed, died on the passage from Quebec, and when _ the boat touched here, there were three in a very weak and exhausted state, so much 80, indeed, that the recovery of two was dis- paired of, and the other was also sinking 'rapidly. Drs. King and Herrick visited the vessel, and after examining these cases and ascertaining the symptons they showed dur- 'ing their illness, the former gentleman pro- nounced the disease to be Asiatic cholera. Dr. Herrick, however, hesitated to give the 'same opinion, Notwithstanding all the 'warnings ufged upon the city authorities as sto the necessity of making preparations for receiving emigrants afflicted with this dis- 'ease, now when it is supposed to have pre- -sented itself, not the slightest accommoda- tion could be afforded, and the emigrants were obliged to be left on board-ship to await apparently certain death. Not a .a member of the Board of Health could be found tosuggest even as much as might tend 'to prove there was such a body in existence. There was a report in town last night that eleven persons evincing symptons of Asiatic cholera in its worst stages were lying in Lew- dston.-- Leader.

EMIGRATION FROM THE HuiGHuANDs: --The Inverness Courier understands that about £3,000 has been paid by the banks in Portree, Isle of Skye, in sums varying from £5 to £20, being remittances from Highland emigrants in Australia to their poor relatives at home. This fact, so highly creditable to the Highland emigrants, has | Thursday, June 1st. the effect of stimulating the present rage for emigration, and numbers of poor families, it is said, will leave the Hebrides this year.

Stave Case in HarrispurG, Pa.--On the evening of the 12th instant, three Mary- landers and a Marshal from Philadelphia made their advent in Harrisburg, with a war- rant from a Philadelphia Commissioner, for the purpose of taking a coloured man who was claimed by one of the party as his slave. The man was working at the time in one of the brick-yardsin town. A hint was given the man, and long before morning he had taken passage by the " Underground Rail- road," to the great disappointment of the " mnigger-catchers." OrieinaL Ricurs.--The coloured peo- ple of Philadelphia, at a recent meeting re- solved, in substance as follows : That those who, without crime, are out- lawed by any government, can owe no alle- giance to its enactments--that, being con- demned and treated as outlaws by govern- ment for no crime but that of claiming to be men rather than beasts and chattels, we hereby declare ourselves absolved from all obligations to obey its slave-holding behests, and fall back upon our natural rights ; that we adopt and advise all oppressed to adopt the motto, " Liberty or death," nor will we allow any fellow beings to be enslaved if we can prevent it; that resistance to the slave- hunters is obedience to God, and we pledge ourselves to resist all such laws by such means as we shall deem right and expedient. TREATMENT OF PErRsons Srruck witit Ligutyine.--E. Merriam, the meteorologist, of Brooklyn, renews the recommendation to apply cold water freely to persons struck by lightning. He says:--"In all cases where persons are struck down by lightning use cold water on the body for hours, do not be discouraged if immediate success is not at- tained, continue to persevere, and if, after three or four hours' drenching, animation is not restored, add salt to the water, and con- tinue the drenching. J have an account of a person struck down by lightning on Staten Island several years ago, who was restored after several hours' drenching with cold wa- ter. This case alone is sufficient to prompt to exertions in all cases beyond the time usually devoted to restoration of animation in cases where persons have been struck down by lightning." | Eveven Men Carrizp over A CATAR- Act..--_We imavin: that our readers have heard of the narrow escape of eleven rafts- 'men, a few days ago, who passed over the Chats rapids in a foe, with several cribs of. timber. It appears that they were directing the cribs toward the head of the Victoria slide, but owing to the dense fog passed into the old timber channel and so over the falls. Three of the men saved themselves before the cribs entered the broken water, one of them by making a leap into a cedar tree which overhung the channel, the other eight clung to the cribs, which were broken up into single sticks, but most providentially no life was lost, a truly miraculous circum- stance, when we know the character of the eataract over which they were precipitated. Two of the men who first got to shore, not knowing whether their comrades' had escaped or not, went to the slide master and begged the loan of a punt to go in search of them, and our readers will hardly believe that this inhuman and churlish offi- cial actually refused to lend it.--Lower Ca- nada Times.

'The priest was in the act of celebrating mass when some of the gauzy substances used in the decoration of the altar became ignited, and in a very short time the entire building was enveloped in flames. or a considerable period, the fire had full play over the valuable structure, and when assistance did arrive, it was of lit- tle or no value. A strong guard of consta- bulary and three engines reached the convent in about an hour after the fire broke out, but all their exertions were abortive, and the building and furniture which were valued at £7,000, were completely destroyed. With the exception of one of the sisterhood, who was slightly scorched, all the boarders and inmates escaped without sustaining any in- jury. Up to alate hour on Thursday mght the fire was still smouldering --Dublin paper. Tourists in Turkey. Correspondence of the London Times. ConstanrinopLis, Monday, May 15, 1854. To the habitual' resident there is some amusement in watching the stream of visitors of all nations, though principally of.our own country there is something phantasmagorial in the manner in which they appear, flicker before the eyes, and then vanish in the void. All come with the same views, do the same i thing, and disappear, leaving no trace of their existence, except in the coffers of their hosts. The stream is less steady now, and though it yay not dry up, it will no doubt trickle and run more slowly as curiosity be- comes sated and roads unsafe. Next to Englishmen, Americans have been the most numerous, and we have had them ofall sorts. There have been philosophers of the Boston school, who have passed through several shades of communism, and New Y ork fashion- ables, who might be taken for Frenchmen till they open their mouths, and who have much to say about the Tuilleries and the Imperial balls to which they arein the habit of resorting.

Brown & Shipley quote market for flour on Tuesday as dull, and in nominal; 38s. a 38s. 6d. for Western ; and 40s. for Ohio. Silistria still holds out bravely. The Austrian and Prussian conference is con- sidered favourable to the allies. It is reported that on the 8th, the Turks in Silis- tria made a sally and destroyed the approaches of the besiegers and filled up the mines before the place. The confidence of the Russians was also visibly declining; they are said to have suffered seriously on the 3rd by the springing of the Turk- ish countermine. Letters from Krajova report the Russian loss at Krajova, on the 30th May, at 1,000 killed and wounded ; 500 horses were killed and as many wounded; they also lost 1000 muskets, 6 guns and 115 prisoners. On the 2nd June, the 22 transports reached Varna with the Allies on board. The Turks were to make a movement to relieve Silistria about the 12th. The Russians are fortifying J assy. Vienna, Tuesday. The Journal's Austrian correspondent states that the interview of the Austrian and Prussian monarchs furnishes another proof that the interest of Germany and Europe will be cared for in the war now waged by Russia. The correspondence of the Chronicle says the results of the interview were satisfactory and per- fetly consistent with the avowed policy. No di- plomatic note resulted therefrom. The policy ofthe minor Germanic States form- ed the chief subject of discussion. Friendly relations between Greece and the Western Powers have been re-established. The third French division was daily expected 10 arrive at Constantinople. A great party of the combined fleets had left Sebastopol to transport troops from Varna. Captain Gifford of the war steamer Tiger jis dead. The Russia Embassy is to lease Athens. The Dragoon Corps at Odessa has been order- ed to advance by forced marches to Moldavia. The Transylvanian frontier is described as swarming with Cossacks. From the Black Sea we learn that a detach- ment of the combined squadrons have captured the redoubts of Kale and Poli. The Turks at Silistria had repulsed four different attacks made by the Russians. The Russian forces, command- ed by the Grand Duke, are estimated at 80,000 men. It is said that Russia meditates an attack upon Austria. The position of the Austrian Embassy at St. Petersburg is extremely painful: It is re- ported that Sweden openly declared against Rus- sia and that she has recalled her minister from St. Petersburg. A despatch from Leinojers states that Bra- hestodt Yorner, in the Gulf of Bothnia has been cannonaded with success. The removal of the head-quarters of Prince Paskiewitch to Jassy has been confirmed. The Russian Government .has permitted all English and French vessels to leave Odessa. Under date of Bucharest, June 6th, it is stated that the Russians are still unable to report any success from before Silistria. We: ae j The rupture between Persia and Russia is said to be complete, and large number of Russian sub- jects resident in Persia, have already left the country. Advices from Rustachuck to the 5th inst., state that the English have appeared again off Litzan, and have taken away ten ships from the harbour. Count Orloff is reported to be dead. Admiral Napier, on the 5th, was before Svea- borg, with 14 ships--shots had been ex¢hanged. The French fleet, consisting of 12 sail and two steamers were seen on the morning of the 4th, off Warnenienda, steering away in a N. E. direéc- tion. The Turks have retired again from Lesser Wallachia to concertrate at Kalafat, SPAIN. From Madrid we learn that the first de- tachment of troops for Cuba sailed from Ca- diz on the Ist,on board the steamer Isabella. Gen. Mantefield bearer ofan important note from the Prussian Government to Rus- sia took his departure recently for St. Pe- tersburg. The London Gazette officially announces the blockade of the Danube by the combined squadrons. The Russians have evacuated all the for- tresses on the coast of Georgia, except An- napland Lowick. The English Crystal Palace was opened with great pomp by the Queen on the 10th inst. The siege of Silistria on the 14th was without important result. The report of the .concentration of the Russian troops in Moldavia is confirmed. A portion of the combined fleet was still on the Circassian coast. A despatch dated Hong-Kong, April 22, states, that it was reported that Pekin would fall in a few days. The position of the Em- peror was critical. 'The Emperor's residence at Shanghi has been entered and pillaged by the insurgents, who formed themselves in- to a body of 300 volunteers, and 4: guns, and enabled the insurgents to capture the enemy's artillery and camp, with an immense booty. English and French squadrons on the sta- tion were preparing to attack the Russian fleet. : ae The insurrection in Manilla had been sup- pressed. The Vesta arrived at Liverpool on the Lith: ; There have been several arrivals in Eng- land from Australia--news unimportant. At the moment of the Atlantic's departure a rumor was current that the Russians had made an attack on Silistria, that the powder magazine was blown up and that many thou- sand men were killed--the rumor was not generally credited. ENGLAND. In the House of Lords, Lord Aberdeen in reply to Lord Derby, stated that Lord John Russell had accepted the Presidency of. the Council, and that before the House met again a separation of office now held by the Duke of Newcastle would take place by the crea- tion of a new Secretaryship of State for the War Department, distinct from the Secreta- ryship of State and the Colonies. Panis, Friday Evening. It was stated last night, as positive, that Marshal St. Arnaud had written to the Government demanding another division. It appears that some discontent is felt at the conduct of Prince Napoleon. Heis said to be in constant communication with refu- gees, and indeed the fact of his having been accompanied by M. Emilie Girardin from Paris to Marseilles, occasioned considerable displeasure in the highest quarter. It is said there is every probability of his soon being recalled if he does not give up the Delvtes of Constantinople and repair to the Court with his division. The Paris Moniteur contains a decree by the Austrian Government prescribing the course to be adopted by the commanders of vessels carrying the Austrian flag during the war. 'This decree is dated May 25th. The Moniteur in noticing the meeting of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia at Tescheu, says there is no doubt that the object of the interview to concert together respecting the eventualities pointed to by the treaty of Berlin, and that the best results are expected from. the inter- views. A letter from Trebigul, says Selim Pasha has sent 10,000 regular troops and 9,000 Bachi Bougouks to Ogonegueti. The Russians have left Ogonegueti for KKoutais carrying with them 453 sick. The inhabitants of the latter place, on hearing of this movement, sent to the Russians to say that the place was in a state of famine, and that they would be badly received there. All the Russian troops who have evacu- ated the fortresses on the coast of Annapa to redoubt Kale, have marched on 'Tiffin.-- Schamyl is within 18 hours march of that place at the head of 35,000 men. The Greek Insurrection--According to advices from Athens to the 30th, King Otho amnestied the officers of the Greek army who were taking part in the insurrection at Epi- rus, as : Vienna, Sunday 7th.

CANADA. A degree of attention has of late been directed qo the condition of the Fugitive Slaves resident in Canada, but comparatively little information concerning them has reached the public. The presence in this country of the Rey. Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada to make the case of. these Refugees more generally known, has caused a number of Gentlemen to form aCom- mittee, for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on their arrival in Canada, trom the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have annually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto, and other places along the Canadian frontier, that is, along a boundary of some seven hundred miles, they are usually destitute of every thing, having generally fled stealthily, and with. out making much preparation for flight. They undergo numerous privations on their painful and wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the way, not only through the Slave States, but through the Northern, or nominally free. At any point, if overtaken, or discovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which the ord nary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as a warning to others. Hence, during their flight, they are in a constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the Canadian. frontier, usually fall inte a condi- tion of bodily: and mental prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. Being strangers, destitute of the commonest hecessaries, and in some instances, suffering from tempurary illness and over fatigue, they require The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, and -a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until they procure. em- ployment and can support themselves. -This necessarily entails. a very considerable expendi- ture, which these Societies are not in a position to meet to the extent to which their aid is needed. It is not only an interesting fact, but one which should be emphatically dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind is in great demand, and the Society being kept duly informed of. the patties who are in want of labourers, they. sel- dom fail to procure employment on advantageous terms. In no instance wi-hin the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought1o be raised is therefore not intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until they have sufficiently recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the advantages of abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American Slavery. The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives from slavery. Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to'\those who once held them as chattles, and to those who hold that the slave, requires to be prepared for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle ofa people just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting as free men, successfully and hunourably with other labour. Further, as there exist in Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the progressive inprovement of the coloured population is gradually undermining and destroy- ing this feeling, their improvement affords a' prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro fur self-advancement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the unreason- ablenes: of the prejudice against him Lastly, his social elevation by his own industry and enter- prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous- ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the. slaves themselves. are. concerned ) and the perfect capability of the negra to live and to advance under the same government and upon terms of political and social equality with the Anglo-Saxon raise, or any other of the one great humrn family. At a large and respectable meeting held in Free- mdson's Hall the Right Hon. the Earl of Shat- tesbury in the Chair,--after an Address from Rev. S. R. Warp, showing the condition of the Fugi- tive Slaves in Canada and stating their need of temporary-aid immediately upon their arrival in that Colony.--it was proposed by the Rev. C.
