THE BRITISH AND PORTION ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.(THIS DAY.) This day the annual meeting of this society was bold at the London Tavern ; Mr. 6. W. ALUAIII)K11, the t-,curer of the society, is the chair. The meting was sumerously attended. Amongst those present were Sir T. F. Buxton, Birk; the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel ; Mr. C. Burton, M.P. ; Rev. Dr. Massey; Rev. J. Kennedy ; Rev. W. Arthur; Mr. Sinclair. tte. The CHAIRMAN ilia he regretted the absence of Lord Brougham, who was to have taken the chair, the mote soma it brought him into a position for which he was quite unpre pared. Their object in meeting together was to protest against the system of slavery, which, whatever might be said in extenuation of it, could not be other than cruel, for when one man had uncontrolled power Over his fellow men it could not but lead to cruelty. They might see the effects of slavery in the war now raging in America, but if the effect of that war should lead to its abolition, the evils and horrors of war, peat as they were, would be accompanied with one beneficent remit. (Hear.) Yr. BURTON, M.P., said that a letter had been received from Lord Brougham, stating that no one was to blame for putting him forward as the chairman who was to have presided at the meeting, but he thought it better not to take the chair, as more eoosistent with that neutrality which he thought ought to be observ:d by every one in the contest now going in America. Mr. L A. Criaitutovzow, the Secretary, red en abstract of the report, which detailed the principal facts connected with the slave trade and slavery during the put year. The African slave trade to Cuba war carried on with undiminished vigour. There were 38,000 slaves landed in Cuba, and u for every slave landed two perished there were 120,000 men and women exported from Africa to supply that one market. The report at tribiated the contest now going on in America to the system of slavery prevailing in the South. It appeared from the account. that the receipts for the year 18032 were 1,4604, end that there remained a balance of 291. The following letter was then read by the secretary (CoPI-) " Leiation of the United Staten, "London May 21,1863. " directed by the President of the United States to acknowledge on his behalf the reception of the proceedings of a special meeting of the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Society of the 19th of January teat, which wan duly transmitted to bim through the medium of this /op tion. It gives him pleasure to observe that these proceedings are distinguished by an earnest desire that peace may now and for ever be preserved between the United Stake and Great Britain, that the anion of his own country, which is the bulwark of Be safety, may be maintained, and espe cially that it may not be overthrown so as to give room to a new nation, to be founded on the corner atone of human slavery. I am further directed to say that the justice of these sentiments., as well as the confidence in the President, which is expressed is the proceeding+, would entitle the subjects of Great Britain who constitute this meeting to a special, grateful, and fervent notice on his part. His sentiments ea the subject involved have, however, been so fully expressed in replica which have been made to the working men of Man chester, to the citizens of London mumbled at Exeter ball, on the evening of the 29th of January last, and to the citizens of Bradford, that instead of repetition, he prays that you will consider the spirit expressed in them as equally entertained in the present ceas.—l bare the honour to be, your obedient servant, "Camuss Fuse= An Aug." The following resolutions were proposed for adoption, and were supported by Sir T. F. Buxton, the Rev. Baptist Nord, Mr. Buxton, M P., and other speakers : "That the report, of which an abstract has bees sub mitted to this meeting, be adopted, and bo printed and air culated under the direction of the committee, end that the gentlemen whose names hare been read be the committee and the officers during the ensuing year, with power to add to their number." "That this meeting deems it of the utmost importance at this crisis to re-a 0 km the fuudameotal principle of the anti slavery movemeot, that 'skvaholding is • sin and a mime before God,' sod that its speedy extinction is devoutly to be desired on the highest grounds of religion and humanity." " That, in the opinion of this meeting. the abolition of skvery, dowsed to take place from and slew the lat of July next, in the Dutch Wert lodia colooies, and In 1876 in all the transinarine possessions of Portage] ; the emancipation of the serfs is Ramis ; the total aeration of the African slave trade to Brasil and from the Por tuguese provinces in Week Africa ; the new dove tail. treaty with the United States government, gent. her • right of search ; the abolition o f slav er y in the di ktat of Columbia ' • its prohibition for ever ut the territories ; the recognition of the negro republics of Hayti and Liberia, end other measures which the United States government has iodated, in furtherance of emancipation, claim signal and grateful recognition from the friends of human freedom in call lands, and are acts calculated to encourage them to unabated and united efforts to °titan the total and speedy extinction of the slave-trade and of slavery wherever they exist."

The quatity of English wheat received fresh up, this morning, was very moderate ; consequently the show of samples was small. For moat kinds the demand wee far from active ; nevertheless, Dearly the whole of the supply was dispceed of, at priors about equal to Monday last. The general condition of the samples was tolerably good. The supply of foreign wheat was chiefly composed of gnussried samples, the fresh impute having been rather limited for the time of year. Fine qualities of both red and white moved off freely, and the currencies were well supported. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain sold slowly, at about stationary priDes. Both English and foreign barley came slowly to band. The demand, however, wee much restricted, at about last wades currency. Most descriptions of malt realised former terms ; but the dewed was somewhat restricted. Otte—the show of which was only moderate—com manded full prices, with a fair consumptive inquiry. The sale for beans was tolerably firm at fully late currencies. Pass moved off steadily on former terms. The supply was rather limited. We have no change to notice in the value of any kind of flour. The ta ade wadi somewhat restricted, although the surZ e t sound American parcels woe rather limited. supported the late advance, with a steady de mand. Other seeds moved off slowly, but at full quotations. The inquiry for gaga was somewhat restricted. P Qr. . OATS. S. -S.

Two o'Oxixa. The stock markets to-day are inactive. Many members of the Stock Exchange are away at Epsom Races. The funds are steady, at yesterday's closing quotations. English railways are rather flat, and a slight reduction is observable in several instances. The fluctuation in the foreign stock market has not been important, business having become slacker. The scrip of the Italian Loan is quoted lf to 2/ prem. Turkish is better, at 11 to 11 prem. Consols are now quoted 931 to 4, cum div., for money, and 921,1, ex div., for theaccount (June 9). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 931, 1,1, 1 ; ditto, for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91f, 3 ; New Three per Cents., 911, I ; Bank Stock, 235; Judie Ave per Cent. Stock, 110, 1091, 110/ ; Five per Cent. " enlaced " rupee paper, 1071; and Exchequer Bills, 4s. dis., par. Foreign stocks, in most instances, axe quoted about the same as yesterday afternoon. Mexi can Bonds have receded, being last marked 351. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certifi cates are inquired for and firm. Turkish Consolichis have declined 1 per cent. Some of the present quotations are annexed :-Turkish 1854 Loan, 89 to sa ; do., 1862, 711 to 3 ; the Consoliddr, 511 to f ;Greek, 311 t 0321; Venezuela Six per Cents., 551 to 561 ; and Italian Five per Cents., 711 to 72. Transactions are reoorded as follows :-Brazilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 944 ; Buenos Ayres, for account, 941 ; Chiliun Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 971 ; Egyptian, 1001 ; Greek, for account, 311, 321 ; ditto Coupons, 141, 1 ; French Three per Cents., 69fr. 750. ; Italian Maremmana Railway, 79 ; Mexican, for account, SB, 1, 361 ; New Granada Deferred, 10, ex div. ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 881; Portuguese, 1856, 1857, 1859, 1860, and 1862, for account, 491 ; Russian, 1862, 921, I, 1, ex div. ; Spanish, for account, 544 ; ditto New Deferred for account, 481 ; ditto Passive, for account, 35, 941-; ditto Certificates, 121,1 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 881; ditto, 1858, for account, 701 ; ditto, 1862, for account, 713, 1, 4 ; ditto Guaranteed, 1031; Venezuela, 1862, 664, ex div. _ . The shares of the two great financial undertakings are firmer—lnternational Financial at 41 to 1 prem., and General Credit and Finance of London at 24 to f prem. London Financial Association are steady at to 1 prem. The Bank has been for somo days the cheapest place to get money at, nearly all the other discounters demanding 31 per cent. There seems to have been a general belief that the value of money would rise to 4 per cent., and it would almost appear as though the belief has contributed to the event. Its realisation has also been promoted by the extreme caution which is rendered necessary on the part of the discount establishments by their complete exclusion from the Bank of England, and which induces them at times of uncertainty in the money market to withhold accommodation, except at greatly ad vanced rates, from all but their regular connexions. That the advance has been caused by any really adverse state of the exchanges, or of the bullion current, cannot be pretended for a moment. There is ground, therefore, to believe that, now that the anticipated rise in the rates has taken place, lenders will be found easier to deal with, and the supply of money will increase. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,8241. over last year, the Great Western an increase of 1,0191., the Great Northern an increase of 1,3031. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an increase of 1,1821. ; the Midland an increase of 1,4061., and the North Eastern an increase of 4,708/. With regard to the International Financial Society some remarks have appeared which seem to be couched solely in a private interest, and with a view to disparage a combination second in power, as in respectability, to none in Europe. There seems, strange as it may appear, to be au idea in some very exclusive circles, that all foreign loans are to be reserved for the monopoly and enjoyment of certain cliques. This is strange doctrine in a free trade age. In any case" (run the remarks to which we refer) it is certain that the evil of overbidding cannot be carried much further than has been wituessed of late years, since almost every recant foreign loan has been taken at • price that has only just enabled it to float." Surely, then, it is time to change the system, and to try fresh hands. " Besides" (the writer goes on to say), " it is pro bable that the field for the new companies will be rather in the direction of public enterprises than of actual loans in which private contractors like Messrs. Rothschild, who are kuowu to embark their own maim to a vast extent whenever they enter into such affairs, and who can exercise a pro portionate power of management, will be sure in the foxy run to command a preference." We confess we are surprised to find advocacy of so narrow au order in such a quarter. These are not times when any loan contractor is " sure to command a preference" over all competitors, still less over associations of capitalists whose aggeegate means and power must be far beyond those possessed by any iudividual. Some remarks have been made upon the fall in the shares of the Inter national Financial Society from 10 to 4 prem. The responsibility of having quoted these shares too high at first must rest with the dealers in the Stock Exchange, who committed an error of judg ment very natural wheu an enterprise quite sus generis is presented, but we confess that, for our own part, we regard with great satisfaction the excel lent example set by the directors of this important concern in leaving the shares, without the slightest artificial support, to find their true and natural level in the market. In these days of share rigging and official jobbing the present example is strongly calculated to attract permanently the con fidence of the investing public, and to prove that the respected names ou this company's prospectus are not designed for ornament only. The annual meeting of the shareholders in the Provincial Bank of Ireland was held yesterday, when the directors' report was adopted. It mentioned that, although a smaller amount of profit had been obtained than in the previous year, the same rate of dividend will be cautioned. The directors will accordingly propose to pay in July next an " extra ordinary " dividend of &as on each 1001. share, and 12s. on each 101. share, is addition to the ordinary dividend of 4 per ceut.,making the amount to be then paid 21. 10s. on each 1001. share, and 11. on each 101. share for the half-year ending at Mid summer next. The chairman, in the course of his speech, congratulated the proprietors on the state of the company's affairs, and explained the causes of the depression Latterly prevailing in Ireland. _ _ The adjourned general meeting of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Company will be held on the let of June, but merely pro format, the details of the contract with government not being completed. An extraordinary general meeting of the Iffa remmium Railway Company is called for the 11th of June, at Leghorn, to consider propowils for the amalgamation of the undertaking with the Leghorn Railway Company. - . The half-yearly interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum is announced on the shares in the Bom bay Gas - _ Messrs. Rothschild have announced the dividends due the Ist proximo on the Brazilian Leans. The Therese and Severn have been engaged to convey government emigrante—the former to Mel bourne and the latter to Sydney'.

The commercial public have pressed heavily upon the Bank for money (as shown by the great increase in the private seenri tier), but, apparently, mainly as a measure of pre caution, for the private dvta, instead of being drawn upon, have inamaml. The influx of govern ment money has at the same time been large, and thus the decline in the reserve is of immaterial extent Neither is there anything in the move ment of the coin and bullion to warrant, of itself, an advanoe of I per cent. (by two stages of I per cent. each) in the Bank rate of discount within a week. BANK OP KNOLAWD.—A2 snd Bth Via. a. 24 Aar tald 20. NU count plum:A to Illis Ai Tilt eading as wwiDerbig.

WI. SILK.—It is an interesting historical fact that although the rearing of silkworm@ and the unravelling of the thread from them to be manufactured into articles of dress, was first practised by the Chinese, the Miro duction of this branch of industry into Europe was due to Justinian, who in the year 550 first succeeded in having the eggs brought to Constantinople. Mulberry trees were planted and every attention bestowed on the rearing of the insects. In a subsequent reign, we are informed by Gibbon that such was the progress made, that China silk was successfully competed with by the new industry. Spreading into Greece, it did not ex tend further till the 12th century, when, on the snaking of Corinth and Athens by the King of Sicily, it was introduced into Italy, and from thence, in the latter part el the 15th °votary, the rearing of silkworms was first prose cuted in the South of Franoe. There it was deemed of each importance rbus beru ce ebuyg.Hg.deoryisltVh; thmsatnutct%rtriewaraidsukisersfgstswekw_hoo years with patents of nobility. The value of silk at Lame in Julius Cinsar's time was that of gold ; a pound of mak being worth the same weight of the precious metal. Joe ltinisn's labour was not is vain, as Europe has since remind its advsetages, and it is now a remarkable, bat far Toth& economists a gratifying , fact that at the present day the dis trict of Brousit occupies the foremost rank for the probe thin of this valuable filament —Levant Nereid.
