A ittnti g all the vntious statements which have been made, for l! e last tw; years, concerning tlie landing of African' upon our southern coast tlm only one, sulHcieotlv circmnstaiicial to coiniuand any credence, was that trade by tlie True Delta ol New Orleans, in ;L?e aarly part of tlie last tear, respecting lite lan ding < f a cargo near thay.city. This slate nient of the Tiue. Delta, alter the lapse of fifteen months, is it would seem, con' firmed by the tacts which aie stated in the subjoined estract liout a letter recent ly tvtiueu by our Consul at Turks* Island, wlinh has been ftirttished the New ^ urk Journal of Commerce for publication. "I have j.tsl Dee it informed of an inter esting circuinstar.ee. in regard to tlie Inn ding of slaves near New Orleans, arid having seen tio reference to the traiisac tion in our Aiiioricitn papers, and reeling confident of the truth ol ihe statement, 1 sond it to you with all the particulars I gather from the author, who was on board : "John James, an English hoy (seaman) who shipped till board ihe English hark Esther Francis, St. J ago, ai.d w as wrecked on this island in January last, says thai be ?hiltd from the port of Philadelphia iii }po summer of 1857, for Havana, in the ship , of New York, and that ho sailed in the same ship from H i Vana to the coast of Africa, where they took on hoard a cargo of slaves at a place Called, as he thinks, iiarbaru, and limy landed the same near the mouth of the Mississippi (to Northeast ol it,) in J amiuarv, 1858. They landed six hundred, aod lost .only about a dozen on the voyage; that they landed them in ttieii boats, without molestation, there being no settlement at the spot. and'that thev immediately proceeded from the place <>1 debarkation to hew Orleans, and repor ted as he learned froii* the second male to he from the Coas* of Africa. llesa\s .hey fed iii with no cruisers on the vov 1 age, which occupied from six to eight months, llu does not remember the name of the captain or mate. "I have 110 doubt o' the correctness ol the boy's statement, and was astonished to know that such a trade was carried on so boldly on our own coast." In reference to lha boy, mention?d in this extract, as one of the crew of the vessel from which the Africans were landed. the Journal of Commerce says : "The hoy John James, wtio is stout, serviceable hand before the m ist, tells the storv with the appearance of truth fulness, turn.I vine* details with iniin?t??im*> as suggested by Inquiries made. He :?>> tbat the crew an.I olli.eis of the ship seemed to he foreigners ; there were few, if any, Americans on hoard. The vessel proceeded direct to the African coast, re maiding at anchor about two weeks at B ?rbara, tlio staves being meanwhile sent otf to llie ship in boatloads, as fast hk collected from the interior?a very few some days, and at others a large number Of the landing lie has little to add. Highway Robbery.?On Saturday afternoon last, two men, named William Morris and George Golder, being in Plln.li street, on a frolic, were accosted I>v three me.i, one of ffi nin is named Hawkins, and another Charles Blake alius Liverpool Johnny ? the. nmue ?>. the third man unknown?who invited Morris ami (.older :aLc- >, carriage to take an airing up the road, which they accepted. On reaching a part of the roa I about three miles lr<>m the city, they commenced to strike Morris, which lie thought was in sport, but not being pleased with their conduct, got out of the carriage, reqnes ting Golder to do the same, but at the moment of doing so the Carriage drove otf. When about Ave miles from the ciiv, K[awkii?3 and tib.k? choked Golder v.nh a pocket-handkerchief, and took from Ins person $200 in bills, and a gold watch and chain. Having robbed him, they put htm out of the carriage, and left him in an insensible condition on the rosd. Mi. Moses Levy, who was riding past at the time, succeeded in reviving G rider, and had hi hi biought to the city.
