* Wliile I was at Boston , a cause was about to be tried in a court of justice , for a breach of contract . The complainant , a Brazilian , had been a major in the service of his native country , from which lie was driven by political dissensions . He endeavoured to obtain employment at Haiti , and , subsequently , at the Caraccas , whence , distrusting th . 2 sincerity of Bolivar , he came to the United States ; this being liis second visit . He was driven from a boardingrhbuse , where he bad been admitted on his arrival , to a miserable lodging , which he left for a private house ; and was keeping a store when the circumstances , that gave rise to the litigation , occurred . In the month of November preceding , he was going upon business to Nan tucket , and had reached New Bedford , where he took places in the steam-boat for his wife and himself . Tiie boat was to start at ten next day : —at six , he sent his Iiorse and gig on board ; when , from the negligence of the captain of the vessel , the poor animal was precipitated into the water , and would lrave been lost , had not the owner exerted himself to save it ; no one , for some
time , offering any assistance . When , at last , the animal had been rescued , he was compelled to pay twenty dollars for the trouble it had given . At noon , the vessel left the place ; a heavy rain came oh ; and his wife descended , with an infant at her breast , into the cabin ; where she was stopped , and informed , that slie must not enter , because she was a negro . There were , at the time , but two women , ofirflhe lowest description , in the room . It was in vain that her husband remonstrated against the injustice of refusing him an accommodation , for which , to * had agreed to pay the same as the other passengers . The captain was inexorable and insulting ; and tliougli two Americans , who were' present , interceded in his behalf , and handed Mrs . Mundrucu do \ Vri a

The next day the Brazilian party were refused admittance into the boat ; and their luggage * fogether with the horse and gig , were left on shore * These * particulars ^ f received from the man himself and from his wife—a very good-loofcing respectable mulatto . From one of his counsel , Mr , Child , a rnan wjjorc * to know is to esteem , I had some anecdotes—rind lie tbid rrie h # ! cnew
