.. , ,4 , ' • _ " RePo'l of the Incorporated Society . for the Conversion and Religions instrudion and Education of the Negro •Vave.B in the British West India Islands, from July t o bec.1423. 'rtie fiends of humanity cannot but rejoice at every effort employed for ameliorating the miserable condi tion of the slaves in our Colonies. This Report presents an honest statement of the Society's proceedings for the last six months, drawn up to shew the prOmise, rather than the - pioduce of its labours:" for in fact it has not yet had time, since its incorporation, nor funds, to en able it to do more than it has done. That much is wanted is not.disguised in these pages. Indeed it must be so where men can be found so inimical to the instruc tion of the negros as to burn Meeting-houses, and re ceive negro evidence (rejected in all other cases) against individuals engaged in their instruction, ott, we care not what pretext. Such conduct they will hardly pre fume to exhibit against the labours of this Society, and therefore we may anticipate much good from them. We cannot quit this Report without a quotation from, a letter of the Rev. 11Ir. Curtis of Antigua, who says: It may also be worthy of notice, that of the num ber of slaves which I had baptized in the town of St. John's, during the first ten or twelve years of my mi nistry, more than One-fourth ' or perhaps a third part, are-now free people; some off the Island, some sea faring people at sea. " From all this I infer, that slavery would gradually die away by a - steady uniform perseverance in the per formance of all the sacred duties of Christianity, which, by its own action, would imperceptibly produce more' certain and lasting effects than all the speculative theories which can be devised for emancipation. A ve- - nerable Bishop of the English Church, with a conscien tious and an efficient Clergy, and a few pious Cate chists, would do more towards the genertl improve meta of the religious and moral state of otn. than all the laws that could be enacted for the purpose.' if - Letter addressed to the Liverpool Society jbt the Aboli;. tivae.sla.ery. By a Mendler ofthat Society. fivo pp.l6. Mr. Sandars, the author of this Letter, is the avowed enemy of anything like hasty ago ition; but what wise 111311 would wish to precipitate the measure? It is not true as regards the West Indies (he admits it is every where else) that free is cheaper than slave labour, be-1 there, there is no superior and intelligent class of labourers—the labourers are all slaves." May not the' abolitionist say that this is a mere truism—a mere beg-1 Bing of the question, which is, Whether the slaves thould not receive such education and instruction as may fit them for a higher condition? Ile alludes to the well-known case if Mr. Steel, of Barbadoes,tWho raised his slaves to the condition of free labourers, and found Ids profits increased thereby ; but Mr. Sandars will have it that Mr. Steel's increated profits, arose from an ad vance in the price of sugar ! That is, Mr. Steel knew ,not what he was saying! —as if that Gentleman can be supposed not to have compared his own circumstances with those of his neighbours, when he Kaye his evidence, !it favour of emancipation!! On the whole, it s+ih be safer," in the opinion of the author, " to leave the gra ' dual accomplishment of this Teat object to posterity."

This " humble effort to erect the best pillar of our national strength and glory, TIIE N+vy, upon the im perishable and constitutional basis of voluntary ser vice," is meritorious ; and coming from a practical man is deserving of the greater consiieration. The Author's general ptoposition is.undeniablen " Make it the 4ailot's iisterest to serve his Kidg And country by, a due and reasonable regard to his prospective advantages, upon a scale polio:6°llrd to length of service and advante /tient be regardful of his widow and children—secure: his old agefrom beggary or the workhouse; and his voluntary service will follow, as certain as human na ture is always tyre to herself—and identified with her own interests." For the patticulars of the plan we must refer our Ileac. ) .:rs to the pamphlet; Some of the sug gestions are very happy—all of them deserving of con sideration. ThelForks9f Henri/ Mackenzie, Esq. With a Criticai Dissertation on the Talei of the Author. _By John- Lsq. 21mo. pp. 872. General as has been the praise bestowed on Mr. Mackenzies rations productions it may truly be said, , that they have never been duly estimated, or their pe culiar merits discussed, till Mr. Galt supplied what was wanting, in a very valuable dissertation prefixed to the p r esent remarkably cheap and . elegant edition of this favourite author's works ; which contains not only The Man of Feeling, The Man of the World, and Julia de Ronbigne, but the interesting tales of La Roche, Nancy Collins, Louisa Venoni, Albert Bane, Sophia M. and Father Nicholas, comprising the entire works of a writer, of whom we 'cannot but agree with Mr. Galt in admiring " the elegance of his genius, and the beau tiful putity of his ideas, combined with the attractions of a style at once simple and refined." The following esti act is from Mr. Galt's well-written iriticine on 14:. Mackenzie's works : - • his characters are, it is true, drawn front the uni. versa! . features of mankind, and his incidents arc all within the circumscribed probabilities of ordinary life; but the manners and circumstances of the last age are s intimately interwoven with the details, that thehisto vical merit of his delineations is perhaps even greater than their philosophical truth. Indeed, as historical sketches, his tvoi ks posAss a very high and rare value. ar'e, without question, 'the finest of their kind in the English school of sentimental writing; and those very peculiarities of fashion to which we have alluded must enhance their interest with the critics of posterity. 31ackenale is, in fact, the Sir Joshua Reynolds of his walk in literature. Whatever was graceful, or fair, or elegant in his subject, has been delineated with sin gular felicity, and the costume of -the time preserved with a degree of fidelity approaching almost to 'eve genie ma for itiTaults. But perhaps the strong linea ments 41 individual portraiture have been sometimes lost in the attainment of ideal beauty, and the energy of action crintealed in a drapery of generalities. Still the whole effect is delightful, and this fault, if fault it t-; 1166 - .por rg.co Alms— ' . be, is merely ftiklemiral, It is characteristic of the period, rather Matt of the genius of the author, arid; belongs more to his view of the subject than to the powers which governed his pencil. • " It would afford a curious topic to the historian of manners, to investigate the sources of that remarkable suavity which, pervading the opinions and feelings and manners of the gentry of this country, during the first thirty years of the late reign, superseded the more spi rited gallantry and gayer humour of a long preceding, period, and ultimately disappeared in the eager con , troversies to which subsequent political events gave rise. But, from whatever causes it may have sprung, there' can be no doubt that it influenced and modified the li terature of that period, as much as it affected the reci procities of social life; and we may trace it in the clas sical dignity of the Johnsonian school, as well as in the guarded simplicity of Mr. Mackenzie. Nothing was then hazarded ; authorities were consulted, not only for examples to ascertain how men felt and acted, but it was almost assumed as a maxim, that books alone con tained the true principles by which men ought to bare presented in writing, as acting and feding. The thorn. less criticism of Blair. affords an elegant specimen of the well-bred temper of the literary spirit of that pe riod, and no small degree of lustre is reflected on his contemporary, the author of The Man of Feeling, by the consideration, that, although educated to revere propriety of taste almost as highly as original talent, he should yet have had the boldness to select for his ex periment the desct iption and developement of sentiments . so nearly allied to natural passion, as to he deemed either the effects of its morbid excess or tveafiness— topics which, from the days of Pope and Chester field, were equally banished from literature And inner-. Before hisptimi the French had undoubtedlysi veil splendid specimens of the sentimental - tale, but the purity 01 Aft. Mackenzie's conceptions place his works in a different class from theirs, and we think in one so much- higher as al - most to rank with that of ethic." The Chewist. No. I. This is another addition to our cheap literature.; sheet to be published weekly.

' Thomas Tayar, Richard low, ,K 39 Aspinall, James Ally, and John Lowe, were indicted for a burgl:u y and robbery, committed on the 6:h of . October, in the dweiing-house of Mr..lames Allen, at Ratak near Manchester. Dimelow pleaded Guit'll ; the others pleaded Not illy. Mr. CoLTALI N stated the case. The circumstances of ihisOttack•were most atrocious, and arc fully detailed in the evidence. James Allen, jun. said--I was awoke at two o'clock in the morning-of the 6th of October, by loud scream s , which proceeded from my si-ters' room. I got up, and saw a man going into my father's room ; the man had a candle in his hand, and I immediately sewed him, and pulled him half way down stairs. (Witness here_ said, he believed the prisoner Taylor was the man he seized). Two of the patty then came up to us, saying We will settle you." One of them struck me on the head with a tile shc• (produced the shovel). I made every esettion to get to my sistr room, but was struck several times, it might he with a gun. When I got thee, I found my too sisters kneeling on the ground entreating for mercy from four men who were in it; they were armed; one of them had a gun, one a pistol,. one a aidgeorobi other man with the shovel. As I 'went up to them, the man with the pistol pointed it at me, and said he would blow me through, or something of that sort. INIy sister Mary screamed when she saw me, aul said I was bleeding. I was bleeding in the head from - the blow of the shovel. The fellow imme diately turned to her, and pointing it at her breast, said he would blow her brains out. The others demanded money from me, and not getting it from me, they said, 66 We know you have money, and you shall get some and. the man with the shovel said to me, " rro you want me to strike you again ?" The others threatened to kill me; they then turned to my sisters, and dernanded money. • My sister Mai y then asked them 66 Wilt you go when you get it ?". One of them replied, " Give us 10/. and we will go." My sister Alice then began to rummage in a drawer, which had been pulled out and ransacked by them before, and found in it a purse, which 1 snatched out of her hand, and said, "-I will see them go first before they get it." One of them (Jolly) immediately wrenched it from me ; he tore it in his teeth, and two guineas dropped out ; four of them went out, leasing my sisters and me in the dark, saying to the than with the pistol, "Keep hint safe here." They had two lights with them. The man ith the pistol was DimeloW. The man with the gun was like Lowe. obterved he was taller than the rest. i tried to get out of the room, but could riot ; is was held fast. I then opened the window, intending to go out, but a man stationed underneath struck the wall with a heavy bludgeon. I thew placed something against tire door to prevent their coming back to the room. Whilst doing so, I heard footsteps retreating from the door, and lifted the latch, and went down stairs, and saw three men leap through a window. The fourth man was just going through the window, and I said to him I would. let him r through the door instead. - He safe , opeu it : which did, and he w ent out. I watched them to the nest cottages, about 500 yards off, and returned back to the house. On my return I found my father all over blood. I only saw my father at the time I had left my sisters' bed-room-door. On the Monday night following, I saw the five prisoners at the New Bailey, Manchester. James Allen, senior, deposed-•• The windows of my house were closed on the night the party got into my house. I also was alarmed by my daughters screams, and got up, when I saw my son struggling with the man on the stairs. There came another man up to him, with a candle in one hand and a weapon in the • other. My son was struck on the head. I told my son to get out of the way, or they would -kill him. One of 'them said, “ Get you to bed, or I'll kill you ;' and he struck me on the head with a fire-shovel, which cut it to the bone. (The witness hete shewed the 'mark.) 1 was knocked down, and heard the men go up to my daughters' chamber ; I went to my own room, and I believe soon aftei- three of them came into my room. One of them said, " Deliver your money, or you are a dead man." I said my money was in the drawer, they might take it if they pleased. They took out of the drawers four or five sovereigns, some silver, and some copper, belonging to my daughter Mary. When they had taken the money out, they went into my sods room, and I went down stairs,.and opened the back door ; man was on the outside; who pointed something at me, saying, "If you stir you area dead man ; I'll blow your brains out." I then went to the front door; but I was all aid to open it.—(Witness corroborated the statement of the preceding witness, as to the party leaving his house; he identified Dimelow, and only expressed his belief as to the others.) • Allen, jun. re-examined by the COURT.—I saw five; men on the Saturday I was first examined. I never ex pressed any doubt as to Jolly. I was quite sure of him and Dimelow ; not sure of the others. Ido not know who it was I let out at the door ; he was a tallish man. ,Alice Allen deposed—l was awoke and alarmed by a man standing at my bedside, with, a candle in one hand, and a pistol in the other. I screamed out, and he said," Si!ence, or I'll blow your brains out." There were two other men iu the room at the time. , . They rushed not of the room, and presently after returned into it with my brother and another man. (Witness cor ioliorated the tiist.witness's te,timony, and identified Jolly, 'Taylor, and Dirhelow). .Taylor was the first that , opened her drawers, and iniumaged them out. Several w itoesses w ere then examined, who proved that on the erenikg the robbery was committed, the ptisoners were Jriii ing tosether 'in a public-hotise in the village of Heywood, which is about five miles from Allen's house. Mr.tav6nder, the con.table, deposed that he appre hended all the prisonetg hut Taylor, on the Nth of Oc aoher, at Warrington. They there denied any know ledge of each other. A silk handkerchief was foundon Jolly, which he said he bought from a pedlar. Miss Alice Allen identified it as one stolen from the house on the night of the robbery. When Taylor was apprehended, an old halfpenny was fotnd amongst others, which Mary Allen also identified. The prisoners Made no defence.—The Jury found all the prisoners ; and the Judge passed on them the ass till sentence of Death. '-_"?'_±"lltrire I nnrsr•. 1:. °LUPO. This was an action for a bleach of promise of mar riage.—Mr. llnouctlAM opened the pleadings, and Mr. SC ARLIITT stated the cae. Titc young Lady was about twenty-two years cf age, the daughter of Mr. Ali:ab Rose, a retired tradesman cf great respectability, who resided at Northen, about seven miles flout Manchester. The defendant w as a clink its the Stamp-office at Man chester, about OM ty yea's of age, and in the receipt of a salary of about 123. - ;(1 per annum. The partite had known each other for some years, and no C3 , ISC was as signed for the eln.!uct of the defendant in ekclining to . fulfil his promise, except that the match was not together approved of by the defendant's family. Mr. ALDERSON, foe the defence, :tidy doss-examined the plaintiff's Witnesses, and contended, in his address to the Jury,-that though a proposal of mai riage bad ' been made bybis client to Miss Sarah ttose, there was no evidence whatever to chew that such offer had been accepted by the young Lady. Mr; Justice Iloutovp summed NI, and the Jury, having consulted about ten minutes, found a verdict for ,the plaintiff—Damages, £400: • The Court was ctotvded with Ladies during the trial of this cause ; which, it appears, has for the last three • months driven every other topic from the tapir at Man chester and its neighbourhood. POLICE IA ILLLIGENCE. . Bon -51 FC RE r. Sees or Sr. PATRICX.—: One Mrs. Onheritic iltkiots, a fine, fat, roiy-faced dams, was charged whit having stolen a piece of ribbon from a haberdasher's shop hi Holborn. It was a - clear case—she was seen to purloin the-ribbon, and it was taken from her as she was leaving the shop. The Magistrate asked her what she had to say for herself ? " Why, please your Worship," replied Mrs. Catherine Atkins, •` though I'm a Londoner born and bred, I had the misfortune to marry an Irish man, please your Worship, and that was the wAy of it —if your Worship pleases 'to conifoler." "" What !" said his Worship, " did your marrying au Irishman oblige you to steal this ribbon?" " No, please. your Worship," rejoin td Mrs. Catherine Atkins, " not exactly; only it was St. Patrick's Day, if your Worship pleases to consider ; and I wouldn't have did sich a thing for the work!, please your Worship, if I had not been a leetle intotticated in regard of St. Patrick !" Poor St. Patrick always has more sins laid to his charge than any other Saint is the calendar ; but we never before heard him charged Pas a particeps crinaiiiis in sholdiflirtg. Worship, however, re fused to take St. Panick's participation into the account ; and be committed Mrs. Catherine Atkins for trial with the whole weight of the offence on her own shoulders. UNION-HALL, I:TION TO WOIMIIIII. —A man named Peter Eaton, In the em ployment of Mr. Snuggs, glass-frame maker, in Little Guildford street, Southwark, was yesterday brought before R. J. rHAM SCRS, EN. charged with having absented himself from his master's ser vice, leaving his work in an unfinished state. Mr. Snuggs stated, that the prisoner had deserted from his ser vice last week,' to the great injury of the job then in hand, which was lift in an unfinished state, owing to the prisoner's conduct. hlr. Snuggs added, that he had since ascertained he was at work for another master. Mr. CaLtatsxas said that the charge was quite sufficient to autho rise him in sending the prisoner for three months to hard hbons' at Brixton. Mr. Snuggs here ir.terceded for the workman, saying that he had a wife and four or five children, who Were entirely dependant on him fur support. If the defendant consented to declare his error, and make a puhlk apology in the workshop to that effect, he (Mr. Sntiggs) would be quite satisfied. The Magistrate said, if this kind interposition was not ac ceded to by the defendant, file warrant should be open against him. The defendant thankfully agreed to this suggestion, and he was discharged. 1 TELLIGENCE. SPORTING SPORTING DECISION.
