We extracted from the London papers lately a story of a Lady in France having given birth to a black and a white child, twins; a singular event of the same complexion, happened on last Tuesday, in our own immediate neighborhood. On that day, in a house in the wood near Dalskairth, a young woman was delivered of male twins, one of which was as white as European children commonly are at their birth, and the other of decidedly African dinginess. The white infant was still born, and the black only lived a few minutes. Both babes were buried in the course of the day. The girl's story, we understand, is, that she saw a black man in Dumfries market, and was so struck with his appearance that she could not help turning back to get another peep at him. As we don't feel quite inclined to take this account ourselves, we have the less objection to our readers doing so.
