BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI-SL.tVERT SOCIETY.— Last evening:a public soiree was held at the Freemasons Tavern, Great Queen-street, in furtherance of the prin ciples of this association—Mr. 0. W. Alexander presiding, supported by Mr. I'eto, M.P., Mr. Joseph Sturge, Elilsu Burrett. Mr. C. Gilpin, the lion. Horace Greeley (editor of the New York Tr ibiote), and others, including several gentlemen of colour, amongst whom were the Rev. J. W. C. I'enningtnn, the Rev. Highland Garnett, the Rev. Jovial Henson, Mr. Constantine, Mr. Isaac Henson, and the Rev. A. Cromwell. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, alluded to a tour which he had recently made in the West Indies and America, and stated that his e Keit nee had pointed out to him the injustice of the late legislation on the subject of slavery in the United States, and espy- I eially of the fugitive slave law, among the provisions of which he noticed that it enacted that any person or persons aiding a fugitive slave to escape, should be fined to the amount of 2001. sterling. All the recent revisions of state constitutions had shown a tendency to more stringent clausal with regard to slavery. In the small state of Dela ware, which contained lees than a thousand clans, it had been enacted thtt should a free coloured man venture within it. borders, that man, with certain exceptions, was liable to be fined a sum equal to 101. sterling, and in default of payment to he sold into slavery for such time as would suffice to pay the fine. The chairman having concluded by a general condemnation of the principle of slavery a series of " senti ments" were delivered in support of the objects of the society, and amongst those who spoke upon these sentiments were the Rev. J. 11. Hinton, Mr. Joseph Sturge, and the Rev. 11. Gannett, a fugitive slave and minister of a coloured church at Geneva, New York, who entered at some length into the nature and effects of slavery in America, showing how the negro had been deprived of his natural rights and political privileges. He next adver ted to the colonisation scheme, which he em phatically condemned; and passing on to the operations of the fugitive slave law, he observed that the slaveholders manifested great indignation when the fugitive slave Simms was brought buck amongst them, saying that he would spread thoet abolition notions whirls he had imbibed during his absence. 'The speaker then stated that the de ?Mind for cotton in Great Ilritain had a mist serious influ ence in increasing the evils of Ame• jean slavery, since an advance of 1 per cent per lb. on cotton would produce an inert-me of 201. per head on slue, ; and when there was an advance of from 6 to 15 cent*. per lb. in the price of cotton, the value of slaves would rise from 000 to 1,001, and even to 1,100 dollen. Mr. Peto, M.l'., at addressed the meeting, and expressed his cordial concurrence in the views of the society. As a Christian, he felt it his duty to exert himself to the utmost towards the abolition of slavery, and he recommended that all persons who were true to the religion he professed should announce, in the most public form possible, their determi nation not to associate with slaveholders, or to recognise them as Christian brethren.—The Rev. A. Crummell, a minister of colour, expressed feedings similar to those of Mr. Gannett. Various other gentlemen, including Mr. Horace Greeley, successively addressed the meetim; in opposition to the continuance of slavery, and the business terminated. Ain)RIGINES PROTECTION SOCIETY. Yesterday the fourteenth annual meeting of the friends and promoters of this society was held at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-street, Dr. Lee presiding. The report set nut the object of the society. which was to act upon public opinion, and espe cially on the government, in opposition to a policy of ag gression and annexation in the dealings of the British with native races. The receipts of the society amounted to :tilt 12'. 110., and after deducting the expenditure there was a Calories of SW. 10s. Sit in favour of the society ; but it appwrril that there were outstanding claims upon the so ciety which left un actual balance against them of 74/.28.4,1. The Ike. S. Kay moved the adoption of the report, con demning in very emphatic tenets the policy adopted by the government of thi. country towards the Kaffir tribe., and alluding more especially to the recent proceedings of Sir Harry Smith in reference to the late outbreak in Caffruria. 'the Bev. J. J. Freeman seconded the resolution, which u.e. rank d unanimously. Mr. J. Fairbairu moved and Mr. li. N. Fowler ra condril a resolution to the effect that the oppressive and este numating system adopted in rein liove uncivilised tribes is a blot on the practical character of the civilisation of our age and country. The motion was agreed to and was followed by other resolutions of formal character, after which the meeting separated. Tut: CRYPT AT THE GICILDII.tI3..—A vast number of the metropolitan visitors have, within the last fortnight, been to see the Guildhall. The crypt under part of the great hall in which the civic entertainments are given has been completely cleaued, and the splendid columns have been, to a certain extent, polished, and the arches, which are considered specimens of first-rate skill, have bees com pletely developed. The crypt is about half the length of the Guildhall, and Mr. Banning, the City architect, who has superintended the removal of the mass of rubbish by which its beautiful proportions were obscured, is of opinion that the Guildhall was, heron, the In of London, no larg , r than the magnificent room whisk has been thus added to the cunusities of the gravid tisic place of festivity. There is in the middle; of the crypt a large red granite bowl, of enormous weight, which hos attracted much curiosity. We copy from the corporation jounue:s of the year 1502 the following notice of the present made of this bowl to the City of London as memorial of great military achievement.: " Major Cookson, commanding the 1:oyal Artillery in Egypt, presents his respectful complinieuu to the lord mayor and corporation or the City of Lend ~,,, and begs to acquaint them that he has taken the liberty to ship on board the Anacreon trans port.

Mr. Pollock, under the fol lowing circunwtmees On the commencement of the . . . vice two men entered the church and took seats. For an hour the service proceeded quietly ; but at the expiration of that tune the individuals in question became apparently paid.** and wandered annoyingly up and down the aisle. Mr Boyd, the clerk, in order to preserve decorum, ordered them either to sit down quietly or leave the church. In stantly, one of the men rushed to the pulpit, and, opening the door, with a stick in his hand. struck Mr. Pollock twice on the hack. Mr. Pollock, on observing the man ascending the pulpit stairs, inquired who he was. The prisoner cularmed, with violence, that he was " God Almighty." Great excitement instantly pervaded the edifice , . Gentle men rose to their feet and ladies screamed, and Seldom, Prrliaps, has a scene so remarkable been witnessed in any edifice devoted to sacred purposes. Mr. Pollock, of course, received instant assistance from the gentlemen and officials of the congregation, and after a violent struggle, the mad man was carried forcibly from the pulpit and conveyed to the exterior of the building, Mr. Pollock resuming his ser mon with permit calmness and composure. A police-otlicer shortly armrest, and the assailant was pinioned and con ducted in custody to the station in Iliglestre et, followed by a large concourse of spectators from the congregations of St. Mark's and West George-street chapel, the services at both places having terminated shortly after the occur rence. On arriving at the station, measures of strong re pression were found necessary to restrain the prisoner from violence, suit handcuffs were placed round his wrists and ropes round his feet. Subsequently, Mr. Gibbon and Mr. Talbot, from the Dispensary, seated the prisoner, and although at first insanity was su petted, it is now believed that the act of violence mat' be traced to brain fever. After some time had elapsed, the prisoner, who stated that his name is Daniel Roxburgh, residing at 123, Grafton-street. master shipwright, was conveyed to the Dispensary. A messenger was writ to acquaint his wife with his position. His companion, whose movements were at least of a suspi• irons character, gave his name, but it was not thought necessary to detain him. We are happy to state that the Rev. Mr. Pollock was not in any manner injured.— Lies risco/ Albion. ANOTHER FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-011 Satur day, as the LIS p.m. Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway train from Bolton was entering Manchester, round the curve between Windsor-bridge and Oldtteld-lane, from some cause inexplicable to all connected with the railway, the engine left the rails, and after running a short distance. swung round and turned over on one aide. The 'agog.- van, which was next the tender, was 4crked upwards, and mounted on the engine, but as the train was going slowly at the time, the remaining carriages came to a stand with out communicating such a shock to the passengers as to in jure any of them. The emine driver was thrown off and slightly injured, but had no limbs or bones fractured. Unfortunately, Richard Ashmough, the fireman, in jump ing off the engine,was caught between it and the advancing luggage Tan, and was instantly killed. On examination of the rails they were found to be perfect at the place where the engine went off, and it is supposed that a stone, or some other substance. must have been thrown against one of the rails so ea to cause the accident.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-YESTERDAY. SITTINGS AT Nua PRINS AT OTILDIIIIL.L. 7 BOOSZ ML JUATICII EYJA AND • COMMON ,Ireor. THE QUEEN V. CECIL AND STEGOIE. This was an indictment against the defendant Cecil, u treasurer, and Steggie, as secretary, of the City Good In tent Society, charging them with conspiring together to defraud the society of certain moneys, the property of Barnett and another. Mr. Charnock and Mr. Woollett appeared for the prose cution; Mr. E. James, Q.O and Mr. Budillestone defended Cecil; and Mr. Ball defended Stcggie. It appeared that the society was one constituted for making loans of money advanced by the members, of whom there were about 12, to persons who made applications, and of whose respectability they were satisfied. The meetings used to be held at the defendant Cecil's house, the Star Tavern, until he gave up that house, and also his office of treasurer. tipon his doing this, he gave in a list of certain numbers, which designated certain persons, to whom it ap peared by the books that loans had been made, and directed the attention of the society to those persons. Upon this, in quiries were made, and it was discovered that some of these persons were altogether fictitious, and some of the others had never had any loans at all, and the rest not to the amount which appeared in the books. The secretary wu then charged with the fraud, and admitted that the persons referred to had not received the money, and that the entries were fic titious, and accounted for it by saying that Cecil had in duced him to commit the fraud in order that he might be able to pay hint (Cecil) a sum of money which ho owed him ; that he had accordingly done so, and Cecil had the money. The defalcation amounted to 571. 10s., and Steg gie had undertaken to repay it at the rate of 15s. per week, :mil had paid some instalments of that amount. It ap peared also that about the time of the discovery Cecil had come into considerable property, and an application had been made to him through his solicitor to repay the money, which he refused, and said he was quite willing to go into the account and repay every farthing that they could show he had ever had, and claimed a share of 201. then due to him from the funds of the society. It appeared, more over, that since the defalcations the trustees had been changed, and the intent in the indictment was laid to be to defraud Barnett and another, those being thu trustees when the indictment was pre ferred, but not when the fraud was committed. It was contended that the indictment 113,4 had upon that ground, and the point was reserved by the learned 4udge. ►t was then contended for Cecil that there was no evidence against him, except the statements of tlu other defendant, made in his absence ; and the indictment was an attempt to extort from him payment of the defalcations, in conse quence of his having come into some property. And it was contended for Stcargie that, as there was no evidence against Cecil, and lie was entitled to be acquitted, he (Steggie) must also be acquitted, as one person could not conspire. The jury acquitted both the defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER v .-.ESTERDAY. sift Y. POLLOCK. C.U., am, 1.4V1.... 0.310 N JVIIII.A. BOOKER O. TUE ROYAL BRITISH DANK.-PLLESEXTATION or CHEQUES. This was an action to recover 921. Ti. 6d., the amount of a cheque drawn by one Bolding upon iiteS-1113. Glyn and Co.'s Bank. The cheque was paid into the defendant's about one o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th of March, but I they did not present it for payment at Messrs. Glyn and Co. s until next day, when it was dishonoured. If it had been presented on the 13th it would have been paid ; but the ib.feneo set up was that the defendant's course of business was to present cheques paid to them after half past twelve o'clock on the day after, and that they had received the cheque in question after one o'clock. The plaintiff called persons employed in various hanks in London, Glyn's, Banbury's, the London County, the Bank of England, the Commercial Bank, the Loudon and Westminster, the Union Bank, the London Joint Stock Bank, &c., to prove that cheques on City bankers were in variably presented fur payment upon the day they were paid in, up to half-past 3 o'clock daily. Mr. Bramwell, for the defendant., submitted that the plaintiff was fully aware of the terms upon which they did business ; and that their practice was to present cheques until the neat day, if not presented before half-past twelve o'clock. There was no evidence whatever of Mr. Bolding's circumstances, or whether the plaintiff had lost anything by the nun-presentation of the cheque until the 14th of 31arcli. The question was not what was a reasonable practice, but what the parties had agreed upon. After a brief summing up by the Lord Chief Baron, the jury at once found a verdict fur the plaintiff, with 921.76. 6d. damages. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—YmTERDAY. %rasa me thellatblUt. 110•11/ ILT OF ♦ FAWN UttOKEtt. - . Solomon Hyoms, 40, described as a dealer, and Santis Ilya nit, 27, his wife, were indicted for stealing a quantity of silk and other articles, the property of Richard Atten borough. It appeared that the prosecutor is a pawnbroker, and on the night of the 31st of March one of his shops was entered and a considerable quantity of valuable property stolen from it. There was no evidence whatever to show who the parties were by whom the robbery was effected, but it ap peared that shortly afterwards a police constable of the City force went, in consequence of information he received, to the house of a Jew named Lyons, where he found the greater part of the stolen property, and it turned out that it had been brought there by the female prisoner, who stated at the time that she had quarrelled with her husband, and did not intend to live with him again, and she represented that the bundle she had with her contained her bed. Tho prisoners were then taken into custody, and upon the inspector at the police station 'Rifting some questions to the male prisoner, he said that the pro perty all belonged to him, and that he had purchased it ; but when he was asked for the invoices of the goods, he declined to give any further information. The jury found the man Guiltyof receiving, and acquitted the female prisoner. The prisoners were then charged upon a second indict ment with a similar offence. The jury again found the man Guilty of receiving, and acquitted the woman. The Recorder sentenced him to be transported for seven years. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HODSS. A labouring mansrl --- brOught beforethe Lord Mayor charged with having obstructed the °Seen of police at the spot occupied by the fallen premises in Gracechurch-strect. It appeared that the defendant, although it had become necessary for his own safety, as well as the general conve nience, to remove him from the ground, had been merely induced by compassion for the poor fellows who were sup posed to be still buried under the rubbish to work in the und.-t of the utmost danger, and The Lord Mayor told hint that as his intentions were un questionably good, although his disobedience to the autho rity of the police was calculated to do mischief, he should be discharged upon the promise not to go to the ground until properly sanctioned. SOUTHWARK. Henry Jarris, a solicitor, was charged with stealing a bill of exchange, the property of Mr. Thomas Wenham. Prosecutor stated that he formerly carried on business as a stock broker, and had employed the prisoner as his solici tor. In 1841, requiring a little ready money, he handed the prisoner his acceptance for Zit Gd., at a long date, to get discounted, at the same time placing in his bands a number of deeds relative to property, as a collateral security for the payment of the money. lie repeatedly applied to the prisoner for the money afterwards, but was put off from time to time, and could not get any satisfaction. He, however, obtained the deeds from him, and after the bill became due witness was actually sued by the prisoner for the amount, in the name of a female whom he had since ascertained was in the queen's prison ; but he believed no other person was concerned in the affair but the prisoner, consequently be gave him into custody. A solicitor for the prosecution prayed for a remand, to enable him to bring terward further evidence. The prisoner's solicitor objected, inasmuch as the prose cutor had had plenty of time to ascertain whether the pri soner had brought his action Lora fide. The fact was, the prosecutor had allowed the action to proceed, and judgment had gone by default. Mr. A'Beekett said there was not sualcient evidence for him to detain the prisoner, consequently be smut be discharged. As soon as he left the dock a constable from the City ap prehended him ou another charge, and took him before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house. In fact, there was quite a scramble for him, no kr tha n t h ree o b at if s c a m Nag &Mauna to sem his. DAILY WEATHER TABLE. E.qIAT, MAY 20, 1851.
