The Butter Trade in Ciuciuualii
The Price Current has some Butter
statistics of interest. Cincinnati is a great
distributing poiut for Butter aud Cheese
for the South and Southwest, and the
J annual receipts of Butter by public con
veyance alone, for ten years past, amount
ed to nearly half a million of dollars.
The exports arc large, the city consumers
depending mainly on private conveyances
for their supplies. During the year end
ing Sept. 1st, 1S52, the receipts and ex
ports wero as follows in pounds :
Imports, 3,412,G0()
Exports, 2,321,250

complain of its increase as an abuse re

said:
"Let me do justice. Party warfare
throws the blame of thc?e sixty millions
on the present Whig Administration.
Inexorable history will have to qualify
that reproach, and to toll that Demo
cratic majorities were in both Houses of
Congress when that appalling sum was
voted! And further, that it would have
"been seventy, instead of sixty millions, if
the "lower" House (as it is called) had
sanctioned all the appropriations voted
in the "upper.'"

Important Slare Case.
On Saturday last, Judge Paine, of the
Supreme Court of New York, made a de
cision of some importance. Eight slaves
were brought to New York, from Virginia
by a Mr3. Leininon, for the purpose of
shipping them to Texas. A writ of Ita
beas corpus was got out ,and their libera
tion demanded. After a patient hearing
of the case, the Judge decided that as
the slaves were voluntarily brought into
the State, and the laws of New York for
bid the existence of slavery in the State
except in the persons of fugitives from la
bor, they must be set at liberty'. Counsel
for the owner asked for their detention
till the case could be carried up, but this
the Court said was unauthrized by law,
and they were accordingly set at liberty.
Counsel for the other side asked that
costs be decreed against claimant, but
this the Court refused to do, as the case
was one of hardship as it stood the ne
groes being nearly all the property posses
sed by their owner. The case will be
carried to the Supreme Court of the "Uni
ted States.
