sore," fru. In two volumes. Bvo. Boston: little,
Brown, & Company.
Mr. Hilliard truly states that Torts, or private
injuries or wrongs, are among tho lending subjects
with which Jurisprudence treats. The law is di-
Tided. info three groat departments: Contracts,
Torte, and Crimes—making up, in their broadest
interpretation, an entire rorpus juris
Our author adds: "In view of this obvious fact,
it is not a little remarkable that no elementary
work has over been compiled, either in Brent Bri
tain or the 'United States, exclusively devoted to
the second of these great divisions, and embraoing
all the subordinate topics legitimately included
therein. Contracts, as is well known, have been
treated in numerous elaborate works. The same
is true of crimes', But torts, as far as lam in.
formed, have never, as such, boon discussed in any
treaties or abridgment. It Is true that most of the
various wrongs recognbeed by the law are in some
form or other found treated in legal compilations;
but not In the mode demanded by the nature and
importance of the general subject."
For example, various elementary works upon
Evidence, Nisi Prins, and Practice and Pleading
treat partially, almost laprieimiely, of many t f
the subjects which are connected with Torts. But
they rather treat of remedies than of scrooge;
"for example,". Mr. Hilliard says,
"not of the art
of trespass, but of the action of trespass; tot of
tho ienterhon of Property, but of trover, as 'the
remedy for such conversion; not of the miseellano-
One omissions and commissions which constitute the
comprehensive wrongs of negligence and ver
sants, but of the action on the ease, or, as it it
usually termed with Menlo and somewhat (Amite
brevity, simply Case." He proceeds, in vindieei-,
tion of his own comprehensive and rational mode
of treating the question, "To consider wrongs as•
merely incidental to remedies ; to inquire for what
injuries a particular action may be brought',
instead of explaining tho injuries themselves, and
then asking what Rations may be brought for
their redress, seems to me to reveres the natural
order of things; to give a false view of the law,
as a system of forms rather than principles; to
elevate the positive and conventional above the
absolute and permanent. It is as if a writer upop
astronomy should profess to discourse of the tele
scope ; or a' writer , upon physiology, of the stethe:.
seep° ; or a writer upon theology, upon church
arehitooturo—making in each of these oases the
great truths 'of science a more Incidental ap•
pendego to the artificial instruments by which they.
are disoovered'or illustrated."
Thisls very well put, and Mr. Hilliard carries
out his views by discussing private wrongs or torfsi,
first regarding the injury, then its author and
recipient, and finally ' its remedy. He 'Mengel,'
general principles, and then separately proceeds to
Injuries to the Body—to Reputation—to Property
—and finally, these views of injuries to absolute
rights being disposed of, to those which grow out
of publio and private relations.. The subject is ea
comprehensive, that bolding to the old Greek apho;
rism that " a great book is a great evil," Mr.
Bard, as well as the profession, is to be congratu-
lated upon having compressed it, without running
into obscurity while avoiding diffuseness, into
moderate compass. Such a work has been greatly
needed, and its execution, by such a clear writer
and competent lawyer as Mr. Milliard, must bent
°opted as a positive gain to the bench as well as to
the bar. There aro two Indexes, which will be
foend greatly useful—ono to cases cited, the other
to the subject matter of the work.

Bowe preface a few remarks upon the performance

tau, la New York, with a grateful recognition
.SE the stop taken in the right direction by Mr.
Boueicault, to whom the public of both cities I
are indebted for its novel end real de
lights.
Perhaps Mr. Boucicault has done
more than any living man to make the theatre
agreeable and safe. We speak advisedly. If, on
occasions, his transcendent abilities as a play
wright have been lent to the production of dramas
in which both method and moral have been seed
flan to mere " effects," still in a great majority of
Instances in whloh he has appealed to the public,
that appeal has been responded to by their best
sympathies and moat natural and universal tastes.
Combining as ho does in an unprecedented degree
fine classioal education and scholarly instincts, an
unusual experience of men and manners, a close
technical knowledge of all the dramatic branches,
from the delicate elaboration of a plot to the exact I
adjustment of the gauzy wing of the humblest
earvphee, and a live industry that laughs at fa-
tigue, Boueicault, , bettor than any contemporary
dramatist, eatiefles the demands of all classes of
play-geers. With all the ability requisite for the
work, he yet is too closely abreast with the stirring
Spirit of the times to devote time and care to the I
creation of a Ave-act comedy—one of those flatu
lent affairs which threw our powdered and peel
wigged ancestors into elegant raptures. Bright
pictures of humble heroism and homely virtue, of
the beauty that blooms and the wit that sparkles
by the dustiest wayside, of patient endurance and
final recompense, of the faith that reaches out from
rags and dry crusts and clasps the portals of
heaven—this is the modern measure. All honor to
him who boldly discards thetdismal skeletons of
the "classical drains," and is true to the better
revelation !
Whoever will carefully observe the fidelity with

in New York "Dot" was produced in a new and
beautiful theatre, on a stage of groat dimensions
and almost unlimited means, under the immediate
supervision of Att. Bouoicault, and with a cola
brity (certainly a local favorite) in nearly every
character in the east. To deny that the perform
ance was an extraordinary one, in many respects,
would be to belie our own judgment. On two re
cent occasions our applause was lavishly bestowed
upon it. We entertained a reasonable expectation
that tho contrast of this with the performance at
tho Arch•street Theatre would ho eminently unfa
vorable to the latter. That was u true Philadelphia
fooling. lies a Philadelphia prophet. any honor in
his own city? Hardly. And yet, In all truth and
fairness, wo aro compelled to concede the palm of
suporiotity in the matter of "Dot" to Philadelphia.
" Dot," viewed as a whole, is - better done at the
Arch, by the company which shallow minds are
forever disparaging, because there is no Wldlitek
in it, than it was done at the Winter Darden, in

recklessly about the stage. filly Sloteboy (Mrs.
John Wood) came down to the footlights and sang
song, and old Caleb and Berta wore pathetic

reveal the notion by the barn, the character's

places while the cottage quietly pursued its way
without them I At the Arch there is none of this
Itmentablo weakness. To mention a very minor
detail, (yet minor details demand the greatest care
of all,) a harp is mentioned by Bertha. In Now
York this harp was a guitar, and tho representa
tive of the character (Miss Sarah Stevens) played
upon the saute; and if old Caleb wan deceived by
the sounds, no was not the audience. In Philadel

We have so nearly exhausted our limits and the
patienoo of our readers, that a general comparison
of the acting in the two cities is only possible.
Criticism in a daily journal is partial at best. If

Thi Tilly Slowboy in Now York was Mrs. John

(N. Y, 'Times) ventured to protest against the in.

was in imminent peril of being lost through her

Boos he exaggerate t Is he not the very realisa

the queer, scary, lumbering, hard-handed, soft

always a servant's place? In real humor, Mrs
Wood's delineation sinks to weak commonplace
when put in the scales with that of Mr. Clarke.

Negro Outbreak iu New York.
[For The Press.]
The following account of a plot among the ne
grecs of the town of Now York, gleaned from a
work now very rare, entitled "The New York
Conspiracy, or a History of the Negro Plot, with
the Journal of the Proceedings against the Con
spirators, at New York, in the years 1241-2," may
be interesting in the present juncture:
At the period above named New York contained
a population of about 12,000 souls, of which about
one-sixth were negro slaves. The Dutch founders
of NOW York come to the country shortly after the
emancipation of the Netherlands from the Spanish
yoke, and their descendants continued to foster all
the rancor of their race against Papists and Spa
niards. This feeling was undoubtedly met with a
similar antipathy on the part of many of the Ca
tholics of that period, and this will account for
some of tho violence and prejudice exhibited on
both aides.
On Saturday night, the 28th of February. 1740-1,
a robbery was committed at the house of Robert
Hogg, merchant, by three negroes—Ctoiar, Prince,
and Cuffee—and a boy named Wilson, the latter
being the instigator. They carried the goods to the
house clone Ilughson, who kept a house where the
lowest kinds of debauchery were practiced. Sus
picion was excited, search was made, the goods
traced out, and Caesar, Prince, and Wilson ar
rested, the Ilughsons being held as witnesses.
On Wednesday, March 18th, a fire broko out on the
roof of the Governor's house at Fort George, within
the city, and near the chapel. The wind was blow
ing a furious gale from the southwest, and the fire
soon destroyed the mansion and chapel, and
reached the secretary's office, whore the records
of the colony were deposited. Most of the records
were preserved, the books and papers being thrown
from the windows, and gathered up by the people.
The fire also reached the barracks, which were de
stroyed, but was finally checked by a moderate
shower, and the exertions of the inhabitants. In
the evening, a captain of one of the companies boat
to arms, and 70 armed men were placed on guard,
where they remained all night. This precaution,
doomed unnecessary at the time, probably saved
the city, as will subsequently appear. The fire
was deemed the result of carelessness on the part of
the plumber while repairing a leak in the gutter
between the house and tho chapel.
A week after, another,fire broke out at a house
belonging to Captain Warren, near the long bridge,
at the southwest end of the town. This, also, was
supposed to bo accidental, and was soon subdued
by the citizens.
In another week, fire was again discovered at the
store-house of Mr. Van Zant, towards the east end
of the town. The building and contents were
burned, but the fire was prevented from extending.
On the evening of April 4, or three days after,
fire broko oat in a cow-stable, " near the Fly,"
which was soon suppressed. The same night an
other broke out in the house of Ben Thomas, next
door to Captain Surly, whic's was also extin
guished.
Tho next day being Sunday, some coals were
discovered, placed under a hay-stack near the
coach-house and stables of Jos. Murray, Esq., in
" the Broadway." Coals and ashes were traced
along the fence to a house occupied by a negro.
The name Sunday, as three negroes were walking
up the Broadway they were overheard saying
"Fire, Fire, Scorch, Scorch, A LITTLE, damn it,
11T-AND-IIT," at which they laughed.
On Monday morning following, there rag an
alarm of fire at the house of Sergeant Burns, oppo
site "Port Garden." Towards noon another fire
broke out in Mrs. Hilton's house, " near the Fly
Market," and on the east side of Captain Surly's.
The people cried oat, "The Spanish negroes—the
Spanish nogroes—take up the Spanish negroes."
It was known that a number of Spanish negroes
had been brought to the town, in a prize taken by
Captain Lush, and sold as slaves, one of whom was
bought by Captain Sarly. -They claimed to be
free men, and grumbled very much at their hard
usage.
In the afternoon the magistrates mot at the City
Hall with intent to make an examination. Infor
mation had also been lodged of the expressions
overheard the previous day. While the magistrates
were sitting another fire broke out at Col. Phil.
lips' storehouse, which looked very threatening,
but was fortunately and unexpectedly extinguished.
It was evidently the work of as incendiary. The
people were at work nt this fire when another
broke out, in the immediate neighborhood, and a
negro, who was recognised as "Cuff Phillips," was
seen escaping from the burning building. Ile wan
chased, timid cries of "The nogroes are rising,"
caught at the bank door of Mr. Phillips' house, and
dragged to prison.
The people and magistrates wore now fully
aroused, these frequent fires having convinced
them that there was a plot in existence to burn the
town. A reward of one hundred pounds was offered
.to any white man who should discover any person
or persons concerned in setting fire to any building
in the city; any slave that should make the dis
covery to be manumitted, or made free, and the
master to receive twenty-five pound; therefor; the
slave to receive, besides his freedom, the sum of
twenty pounds, and to be pardoned. "If a free
negro, mulatto, or Indian, to receive forty-five
pounds, and aim to bo pardoned, if concerned
therein." Many persona in the neighborhood of
the several fires thought it necessary to nuncio
their household goods for safety, and, as the twist
once of any oho offered was accepted, many wore
stolen. A general search was made of all houses
throughout the town, not only for stolen goods, but
for lodgers that were strangers and suspicious per
sons.
But more than a fortnight passed after the last
of these fires before the least intimation was given
touching the occasion of thorn, viz : that they were
the effects of a diabolical conspiracy. At length
Mary Burton, sen'ant to John Ilughson, was
brought before the Grand Jury as a witness in the
case of robbery mentioned at the beginning of this
article. She at first refused to testify, but, being
threatened with imprisonment, submitted, but
"bolted our' that she would give "no evidence
concerning the fires!" This hint afforded suffi
cient handle to the Grand Jury to diligence in sift
ing out her meaning, and to prevail upon her to
disclose her secret. Gradually she did so, but very
unwillingly, and in great dread, as she afterwards
declared, from the fear of being murdered by the
conspirators.
By the evidence of this girl, it appears that her
master, Hughson, was a principal agent and insti
gatoc of these deeds among the slaves for a long
time previous. A design was conceived to destroy
the town by fire, and massacre the Inhabitants;
fires were to be kindled in several quarters of the
town at once; the English Church was to be set on
fire at a time when there was most likely to bo a
full congregation, and the avenues from the church
wore to be guarded by these ruffians, In order to
butcher those that should attempt to escape from
the flames. They wore to begin at the east end of
the town during a strong easterly wind, which
would carry the flames over the whole town. The
fort was first to be burnt, however, because likely
to annoy them when carrying out the subsequent
part of their design. The negro confederates were
each of them to set fire to his master's house, and
proceed to assassinating their respective masters
and families. These fired wore to take place at
night, St. Patrick's eight being the time appointed.
(The Governor's house was fired March IS.)
A largo numb negroes wore implicated in
the conspiracy a twenty white; among the
latter a Roman riot named Ury. The
whites were sworn b d the negroes some
times by Ilughsan en hues by Ury, in a
ring formed by them, a fix being held over
their hoods while the oa administered. Tho
negroes were enjoined toe air masters' arms,
powder, .to., and lodge t ith Ifugheon, who
had many barrels of gunpowder in his possession
at a time. They were assured that the French and
Spaniards would come and join them, and to flatter
them they were formed into companies, officers he
leg commissioned, itc., Sic. If any were squeam
ish, "Ury, the priest, could forgive sin; and did
forgive them all they had committed of should com
mit, provided they performed what they had en
gaged, and kept all secret to their last breath.''
In all these particulars the witnesses, whites and
blocks, that gave any evidence, or made any con
fession at all, agreed. The whole current of evi
dence agreed also in proving that while Itughson
was to provide armaltand gunpowder, the butchery
to be e•cecuted by the negroes after they had sot
tire to their masters' houses, was to be done with
knives, for these weapons, they judged, would make
no noise. Knives proilided for this purpose were
found in the possession of some of the conspirators.
TWO CENTS.
One hundred and fifty-four negroes and twenty
whites were arrested and tried for the crime. Seven
negroes and tines whites escaped, and were never
found. Of the negroes, one hundred and ten were
convicted or confessed, thirteen of whom were burnt
at the stake, eighteen hanged, and seventy trans
ported to the West India Islands. Of the whites,
too wore convicted—vis : John Rughson, and
Ury, the priest, both of whom were hung. Hugh
son and one of the negroes were hung in chains
together. Two confessed, and were pardoned, and
the balance wore dish trged er trausreated. The
account of the trial, evidence given, Le., occupies
over three hundred closely-printed pages, inthe

The Footprints of the Tragedy.
(Correspondence of The Prete.]
CITAIIDER3IIII3IO, Oct. 20, 1850
As the recent criminal movements at Harper's
Ferry are exciting universal attention, and every
good citizen should feel an interest in bringing to
justice all who deserve punishment, I group to
gether a few items of circumstantial evidence
which I gather from conversation with several of
our intelligent and reliable citizens.
Chambersburg, from its situation within a few
miles of the Maryland line, and at the terminus of
the only railroad leading to the southern part of
Pennsylvania, is sometimes made the rendezvous
both of those who are willing to carry on their un
lawful designs against our Southern neighbors, and
of others who select the free blacks as their prey.
Hence we often have the presence of those whose
absence we would deem a blessing. But to the
facts which have arrested my attention.
Some eight or ten weeks ago, Fred Douglass,
without any invitation, appeared In this place osten
sibly to deliver an Abolition lecture. Not only bad
there been no invitation known to the public, but
there had been no previous announcement, and the
first intelligence of his Intended presence was a
telegraphic despatch from him to a colored man of
this place, received late in tho afternoon, that he
would ho hero that (Saturday) evening, and de
liver a lecture. He came accompanied by another
colored man, who did not seem to have any special
business; teamed in the evening, remained over
Sabbathr and said to some of his colored friends
that he would be back here some time in October.
Since assumed names have been revealed at
Ilarper'l Ferry, it is now remembered that about
the MOD time a man was here, calling himself
Smith, (corresponding in some things to the de
scription given of Brown,) who was receiving
numerous boxes from the East, through two of the
forwarding houses at this place, and quite a num
ber of letters through the post Oleo. Ile also
bought at the edge-tool factory piels and axes,
and these, with the goods received by railroad,
were forwarded southward by a wagon. Ho re
mained hero nearly a week, going out but little to
any other places than the warehouses, post office,
and factory. During the Sabbath that Fred Doug :
lass remained here, he, too, remained closely at his
lodgings, and it is remembered that he was visited
by and remained in conference during put of
that day with a couple of strangers, who were
said to have their lodgings at a boarding-house
where, there is some reason to believe, this man
Smith has at times either been staying himself or
keeping some members of his family.
' , Now, as measures will doubtless be taken by the
authorities at Washington,and of Virginia to ferret
out all whose conduct should be lnyeatigated in
connection with this bloody work of fanaticism,
and to obtain thus the evidence that may bear upon
the guilty parties, these facts have struck my mind
as important enough to be made public ; and if you
deem it prudent to publish them, you are at liberty
to do so.
The presence at this place, at about the same
time, of two such men as Fred Douglass and Brown,
the manner in which Douglass came, the receipt of
the boxes from the East, the purchase of picks, ac.,
the Close conference on the Sabbath, the promise go
be bark in October, the fearful tragedy oseurring
in that month, the importance of a sympathizer or
confederate at this point—all these are certainly
indices which, if followed further, may lead to
more important developments. Jrarica.
The Harper's Ferry Insurrection
COMMENTS OP THE. SOUTHERN PRESS.
(From the Baltimore Chamir.l
From the facts heretofore known in regard to
the recent outbreak at Harper's Ferry, there was
no reason to suppose that it was anything snore
than the mild attempt of a phrensiod fanatic, aided
by a few ignorant coarktutorn. as madly fanatical as
himself. Joheßrown, or Ossawattomie" Brown,
as he is more familiarly known from the notoriety
obtained by him in Kansas, had private injuries as
well as fanatical prejudices to urge him to attempt
anything however desperate. The history of his
life, which we publish elsewhere in our paper to
day, authoriars the supposition that the expedition
into Virginia and Maryland originated with him
alone, and hie only actual eonfederates were those
who were with him at Harper's Ferry on Sunday
night.
In Kansas he was a bold and dashing guerrilla
leader, whim excessive zest in behalf of Abolition
ism and fierce hatred of pro•stavery men, rendered
him troublesome even to the free-Slate leaders.
fie is evidently a fanatic of the most dangerous
character. Maddened by his sufferings and the
death of his sons at the bands of the pro-slavery
party in Kansas, and emboldened by bin auccere as
a gaerilla chief there, it appears that he has,
ever since his expulsion Item that Territory, been
clotting insurrections in some of the Southern
States. To (tarry out his vow of vengeance against
the whole class of slaveholders, he appears at
one time to have contemplated amuse in Kentuoky
and Tennessee. similar to the one which he has
attempted to execute in Maryland and .Virginia.
When last heard of before his appearance as the
tenderer the Harper's Ferry insurrection, be Wag
leading a gang of fugitive Mayes from Missouri
towards Canada.
We most earnestly trust that the eonolnolon may
prove correct that Brown has no other confederates
than those who were with him. We would fain be
convinced that the Harper's Ferry tragedy is not
the beginning of a series of similar outrages al
ready planned which ore to mark the commence
ment of the "irrepressible conflict" spoken of in
the "bloody and brutal manifesto" of Win. II
Seward. at Rochester, about ono year ago, and
that it is not the beginning of that general servile
insurrection proposed by the fanatical npo..tate
Ilerrit Smith, es an alternative for "moral sua
sion and legal enactments," to accomplish the ob
jects of the fell and fiendish fanaticism of his fol
lowers. But the developments made in our paper
of to-day of the• result of a search of the premises
manßrown. occupied by this Bwn inference
that
the
that the attack upon Harper's Ferry was aided
and encouraged by numbers, and that the conspira
cy may be more extensive than was at first sup
posed.
Thorn is no doubt that the firearms discovered
In the possession of these conspirators were the
',rifles of the churches' supplied by the Massa
elinsatta Emigrant Aid Society," for the use of the
free-State party in Kansas; and it is possible that
the contributions in money from various correspon
dents, whose letters were read, were those pro
cured by this devotee of Abolitionism, while seek
ing among his sympathizers the means to purchase
a farm. There is, however, in this testimony suf
ficient to show that, while there may be no exten
sive organization specially designed to begin im
mediately the " irrepresdble conflict" portrayed
in Mr. Sewanl's Rochester programme, them exists
among individuals in the North a sympathy
for the phrensied fanatics like Brown and his asso
ciates, who engage in such attempts as that et Har
per's Ferry.
[From tho Charleston News.)
Fuller accounts of this startlinz, yet fooli.h, af
fair era given to-day. It wan a joint rebellion of
blacks and whites—a rebellion of the blacks against
the white race, and a rebellion of whites, which
challenged alike the authority of the Federal Go
vernment and the sovereignty of Virginia. It was
an armed outbreak against the United States, and
consummated its eharaeter In the killing of their
officials, seizing their arms and public buildings,
and overthrowing on the spot, for a time, their le
gal supremacy. This Is "levying war" against
them, which is nine TREASON, and the punishment
for which is death..
lint it proeeeded beyond mere insubordination,
and a number of citizens, masters, and employers
wore killed In oold blood. This was murder, and
the penalty death.
The insurrection of the blacks, without reference
to Its results, and even when harmless, is an offence
which the law punishes with death.
In the crimes of se high and serious a character,
no distinction is made or should he made in law or
morals between the principals and tho accessories—
between the leaders and the followers—between
the murderers and the inciters. Such crimes in
volve not only the darkest moral guilt. but the ut
most social and political malignity and treachery.
Let all the insurgents bo hung.
The country must and will hold the President of
the 'United States. the Governor of Virginia, the
prosecuting uttorniee, and the judicial tribunals to
the strictest and sternest execution of the law and
performance of duty. There must be neither era
sion nor affected olemeneies. They may depend
upon it, that if these are In false sympathy resort
ed to, the oountry, where .dares mat, will demand
that the armed force it will apply to the suppres
sion of Insurrections shall make no prisOner.t.
