We have received the first number of a wet

ably cond acted. The columns of the At'a.

REV. DR. EMPIE.
The Bichmond Whig of Tuesday last, states
that 'tho numerous friends of tbe venerable Dr.
Adam Era pie, .will learn with deep concern, that
his health has latterly become so much impaired
as to induce Jiis resignation of the pastorage of
St. James Church in that city."
"Dr. Empic has been long known in the State
of North Carolina as the President of William
and Mary College years ago, he inspired the high
est respect for his character and admiration for
bis abilities. In fact, he has ever earned the ad
miration and love of his fellow creatures in all the
relations of life whether professional or private.
Tbe departure of such an one 'juslum el tenacem
propositi vtrum," will be matter ot regret to our
entire community, but more especially to the con
gregation of which ho was the pastor."

FLORIDA INDIANS.
Not long since the Legislature of Florida made
provision for calling out their militia, with a view
of getting rid of the Indians remaining there. In
the meantime, efforts have been made by the Gen
eral Government to obtain a peaceable arrange
ment for their removal. Sinco the present Ad
ministration came into power, another attempt
bas bt-en made to find some one wise cnongh : to
negotiate with these ennnine: savages, but all i
ain. The probability Is that we will have an $
the? war with them, and Florida will beperniUte 'J
to take the matter in handwith the nnderstancM
ing that Uncle Sam wili pa J-the cost. Thesd I.:
dians bare already cost tlie-Unitod States about,
840,000,000, and although they do not mustef
above 500 in all, only about one hundred and twen
ty of them being warriors, it will not be anrpris-
ing if their removal or extermination costs k half
a million more. .. . - . t'r'TVS-t-rp

U, S. Ship Portsmouth, at sea, '..
v from Panama, bound to San Juan del Sudt .
. ... . ,; March 30, 1853.',,;'
. .Last ovoning, at about 9:50 P. M., the shock of
an earthquake was felt most sensibly by all on
board. . The early part of the evening was calm
and very sultry ; large masses of clouds rose above
the horizon, and there was much vivid lightuing.'
A tremulous, jarring motion of the ship was felt
very distinctly for about tweniy seconds, and con
tinuously, but becoming gradual y more alight,
for nearly a minute. The thermometer (Faht.)
indicated 85 degs.; the barometer stood at 29:75
at 8 P. M., and at 29:79 at midnight. A feast of
the lead was made as soon as possible, but no bot
tom found at sixty fathoms. About fifteen min
utes after the shock a strong tide rip (similar to
those seen on rivers when the tide is met by a
wind from the opposite direction) was seen -and
beard approaching the shipand for at least three
quarters of an hour tbo agitation - of the water
astern and on one sido was very great; ahead and
on the other side of the ship the water remained
perfectly smooth. During this time, though we
were going through the water at the rate of about
a knot and a half, the relative positions of the
ship and-the agitated water did not materially
change. The commotion gradually subsided.
At the time of the shock the ship was within
about forty - miles of land, lat. 8 10 N., ton: 84 4
W., between the gulfs of Dolce and Nicoya. This
morning there was a very heavy showerrthe first
rain we have seen for several months. The weafh-

- A SLAVE CASE. ' : 1
Nrw.Yobk, May 10.r-fOn' Monday evening," a
member of tho Abolition Society applied to Judge
DuerTor a writ, of Habeas Corpuj, oa an affidavit,
stating that be bad received iuformation by tele
graph from Cincinnati, .Ohio, which gave him rea
son to believe that a child named Jane Trainer
was deprived; of her liberty, andwas in danger of
being sent to California as a slave; and that tlie
child was now in possession of Rose - Porter, "No.
Ill Mercer street, New tort .- ; v -f , -;
On this affidavit a writ -of Habeas Corpus was
granted, and this morning officer Croger ' brought
into Court Mrs Porter, a very respectable looking
white lady, and her - colored protege, who, it was
alleged, she had deprived of ber liberty. A re
turn was pat into the Habeas Corpus, stating that
the child, Jane Trainer,' is not in respondent's
custody by reason of any Imprisonment or deten
tion, but with ber own voluntary consent ; that
tbe child was born In the city of Mobile, Alaba
ma, of a mother owned and held by tbo deponent,
