~..~~~ MIST INDIA SLAVERY: LETTER VI. TO THE EbITOR OF TILE STAR. SIR—In the third letter of Anomie he states, with respect to St. Domingo, that the Quarterly Review might have cited a passage from a work of Mr. Stephen with perfect fairness:—" That the produce of the Island will ▪ s soon be as great as it was before the rezolution, is, I admit, more than can be reasonably expected. The • number of adults fit for labour is unquestionably re '. • dirced in a very great proportion ; nor will free men • and women ever be brought to work so intensely as • slaves are compelled to do by the coercion of the ▪ whip. They will not labour more severely than 0+ consists with the preservation of health, with the • ordinary duration of life, and with the maintenance and encrease of native population;' points unhappily, n which have been but too much disregarded by our • West India economists." lam surprised that ANGLUS should have made so important an admission, as a re ference to the preceding extract contains ; but I conclude , his object is, that it may be inferred by his Readers, that' this was the only quotation in Mr. Stephen's works, which lent itself to the purpose of the Reviewer. If my conjecture be right, ANGLUS has not gained much .by his allusion : for how is this passage cited by ANGLUS consistent with the admission made by the author of Ihe Crisis in a late publication, quoted in a former letter, that a labourer in Haiti is enabled, owing to the extra ordinary fertility of the soil, and climate, to earn his subsistence for a week by the exertion of half an hour's labour in a day, and that, consequently, it may be ex pected that some do not work more than the subsistence of their families demands. In the first quotation, Mr. Stephen estimates highly the quantum of labour to be expected from the free labourer, which has probably pressed the passage upon the attention of ANGLUS. The opinion of Mr. Stephen, expressed affirmatively instead of negatively, stands thus:—" That a free labourer in " Haiti might be expected to labour as severely as '" is consistent la ith the preservation of his health, n with the ordinary duration of life, and with the " maintenance and encrease of native population." These various conditions, all calculated to encourage la bour, would appear to form a respectable sum of ern 'ion, and yet the subsequent, and practical commentary diminishes it to the maximum of half an hour per day for subsistence: a result that is of a nature to alarm the most sanguine advocate of free labour, as proposed to be summarily substituted for the compulsory labour of the slave. At all events, such a result has, or ought to have a tendency to repress enthusiasm, and to operate as a caution, that while we are bent upon the ultimate abo lition of a state of slavery, we should not discharge from eur minds the consequences of those measures which our feelings rather than our judgments may tempt us to adopt. It will be in vain for ANGLUS to meet my argument, by contending that arguments ap plied, and applicable to the condition of Negroes in Haiti, are not necessarily applicable to our 'West India Colonies. If we raise the quantum of exertism to be expected from the freed Slave, as necessary to produce his maintenance, from half an hour to three hours per day, that is, in the ratio of six to one, still the argu ment is conclusive, upon Mr. Stephen's own principle, against the immediate and unprepared substitution of free for slave labour, with renitence to the interests of the Proprietors. ANGLLIS, in his fourth letter, proceeds to state—" SO 41 severe, that is to say. even in the estimation of the " Reviewer, is the labour which the cultivation of sugar, " as it is now conducted in the-West Indies, requires, " that no voluntary labourers would encounter it: the 46 terror of the cart-whip is indispensable in order to " prevail with them to grapple with it ; just as then are 41 propelled to the cannon's mouth by the danger which " awaits their refusal. Now this is precisely what the 41 Abolitionists have all along affirmed respecting sugar 41 planting as carried on in the West Indies." With respect to the last paragraph, the opinion of Mr. Clarkson, may, perhaps, induce the Reader to think differently, as in spewing the superior energy of free, over Slave-labour, he says—" It is surprising, when we " look into the evidence examined by the House of " Commons on the subject of the Slave Trade, to find "'haw little a West Indian Slave really does when he " works for his master; and this is confessed qually by " the witnesses on both sides of the question."—" Thoughts" 4-c. page 51, printed in 1823. My object, however, is chiefly to point out the mis representations of ANGLUS respecting the arguments and statements of the Reviewer. After having quoted the preceding extract, from the fourth Letter of As ctus, I will venture to say that nothing can be more flagrantly unjust than . to attribute such opinions to the Reviewer as he has done. The Reviewer has never said that voluntary labour would not encounter the cultivation of sugar.—He has never stated that the terror of the whip is indispensable, in order to prevail Leith labourers to grapple with it. I call upon ANGLUS peremptorily to shew the passages in which these assertions ate made, or even shadowed out. Until an answer be given, I leave the public to form their judgment from the following passage, in page 568, of the Quarterly Review for last August: " We would not prejudge the case, as to what effect " May be ultimately produced by a progressive trans " mutation of Slave-labour into free labour; and we " are in the' ullest degree convinced of the difficulties, " and of the uncertain success, which May await the " experiment ; but we must with equal confidence " assert, that if it were successfully carried into effect, " the property of the planters would be benefited by it, " rather than injured. " In the view then which we take of this great ques " tion, we think that much which occupies the at -6.6 tention of the Public, is comparatively matter of " little importance, and, in a practical point of view, " irielevant. It is, therefore, on the question of Free " or Slave labour that the Abolitionist and the West " Indian should endeavour to meet. It is on this de " bateabie ground, that they may concur in the pursuit " of an inquiry which must afford much interesting in " formation to both parties. And it clearly appears to " us, that without such an inquiry, no real progress can " be made in the final solution of the difficulties which " encompass this momentous question. " The labour required for the production of sugar " has these peculiar characteristics—it is continuous, " and sometimes severe; it is incapable of being inter " rupied for any length of time, without serious preju " dice to the cultivators; and :it pitsent it is impossr " ble to deny,,that one of the principal inducements to " that continuous exertion, is the dread of punishment. " We must here again introduce the remark, that it is "the nature of the African to be indolent ) inasmuch as , " his wants are rew, and those few almost spontane. 4 , onslrsatisfied in the climate under which he lives. " There is little difference of opinion among those who ' " have examined the subject, as to that inseparable con " nection of exertion with climate, which would enable " any one to pronounce on the probable industry of a " nation, from the mere knowledge of this physical " circumstance. This proposition would necessarily be " modified by density of population, and particular " circumstances of civilization, but still the principle is " true, and not to be dismissed from our view, in the " consideration of this difficult problem. The practical " question then is, what stimulus do we expect by our " progressive improvements to substitute for this fear of " punishment, so as to induce the free Negro to perform " the task of sugar cultivation with that energy and " continuity which can alone render his labour benefi " cial to the planter. It is necessary to substitute some " equivalent moral stimulus. The first, and unquestionably " the only safe basis on which we can proceed, iv moral "and religious instruction—on this must be su perinduced the artificial wants of civilized lite, the fair desire of " the acquisition of property,which object of desire, when " once created,can only be obtained through the medium "of continued industry. Can any principle be sug gested, under the operation of which free labour " can be substituted for Slave labour, that is not 4 , brought about by such a process? If the answer be " in the negative, the question then is, how are we to " regulate the intermediate stage between the present " state of things and the accomplishment of the object ~ without injury to the froperty of the Slave-Proprietor ? " and if injury of a pectuist..y sort be inseparable from " this transmutation,in, what degree and in what manner, " and when is compensation to be given ? It appears to " us that it is by such an enquiry alone, fairly and tempe " rately pursued, that the subject can be brought fully ~ into view ; and it will, moreover, have this peculiar " advantage, that Parliamentary discussiihis might be " postponed until adequate information had been pro " cured, while the attention of the contending parties, " being called to one common principle, would be di " vetted from those retrospective considerations of " wrongs and injuries on both sides which have pro " duced, and must and will produce, the mast inconve " fluent and dangerous results both at home and abroad." ANGLus, in his fourth letter, proceeds to state, that the Abolitionists " have represented West India sugar " planting as a cruel and deathful service; and have " given it as their opinion, that if the cultivation of " sugar must retain its present character, and continue " to be followedby its present effects, 'no choice is left " us but to deliver ourselves from all participation in " its guilt, by abstaining from the use of slave-grown " sugar. They think, with Sir William Junes, that it is " better to eat no sugar—to eat honey, if sweetness " 4 only be palatable—nay, better to eat aloes, or col "' quintida, than violate a primary law of nature im " pressed on every heart not imbued by avarice, than "' to rob one human creature of those eternal rights, " 'of which no law on earth can justly deprive him.' " But there clearly exists no such painful necessity." With reference to this.self-denying attestation, I con fess that I am disposed to believe, that the Ultra Aboli tionists will think rasher than taste with Sir William Jones ; and that with whatever bitterness they may press on their anti-slavery measures, it will not be with the bitterness of aloes and colquintida. I remain, &c. &c. &c. VINDEX. ASCENT or Ma. GREEN FROM POT(tSMOUT II PORTSMOUTH, OCTOBER 25. Mr. Green, the aeronaut, has this day completely redeemed his character from the disappointment the Public experienced on the lith, when he advertised to ascend with a Lady; but from the di rection of the wind, blowing directly over the sea, it was thought not advisable nor safe to venture. Ile ascended this afternoon from the Duke of York's Bastion, a few minutes after three o'clock, accompanied by a Mr. Gandy, of the Royal Navyomidst the cheers of a numerous and respectable assembly, in a grand and magnificent style, and continued in sight about a quarter of an hour. The balloon took a direction towards Chichester, and although there was a strong wind, it appeared to continue a very steady course. There were a few light showers in the course of the morning, but when the balloon ascended, the clouds had dispersed, and nothing impeded the view—it was only lost sight of by the di3tauce it had travelled. The Committee are anxiously waiting the return of she voyagers, who promised to sup with them this evening. t:r• L'_V ..i1k..... • _ MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 25. The CHAIRMAN opened the Court at ten o'clock, and the Jury having been sworn. Josiah Taylor was put on his trial for keeping a gambling-house, set forth in the indictment as a corn. mon nuisance.—The prosecutor not appearing, the pri soner was acquitted and discharged. Josiah Phelps stood indicted for having assaulted Matthew Burn, a half-pay Captain, resident in Islington. Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution. The difference between the parties hadsits rise in a misunder standing as to the nature of the material of which a monument, in the Church-yard of Islington, was com posed. The monument was erected to the memory of a Gentleman, the friend of the prosecutor, Capt. Burn. The contract for its erection was entered into by the widow of the Gentleman with Mr. Phelps of Islington, and it was agreed that it should be of black marble. On inspection, however, the widow of the deceased was led to believe that it was nothing more than common slate, covered over with black paint ; and on this sup posed discovery Captain Burn went to remonstrate with the lefendant, at his residence in Islington, where the assault was charged to have taken place. The parties had cross indictments against each other. Mr. Phelps stood accused of an assault on Captain Burn, and Capt. Burn was in turn charged with having. maltreated not only the prisoner, Mr. Phelps, but also his daughter, Miss Marianne Phelps. Captain Burn was called to prove the case. He stated himself to have been in the army all his life, and to have been assaulted by Mr. Phelps on the 23d of October. Mr. Punters. for the defendant, cross-examined the witness. Had you anything to do with the ordering of your friend's tomb ? —No; it was ordired seventeen years ago. Mr. Pam:as—Aye, but you were alive seventeen years ago ? l'es, I think I was. Mr. Pints:es—The tomb was not yones, I suppose'—No, I' don't suppose it was ; if it had been I should not be here now. The next witness for the prosecution, a Mr. Frost, gave his evi dence rather favourably to the prisoner. Mr. Puma% observed, that the case for the prosecution was dearly/rest lineal—(A laugh). The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to make a statement relative to the tomb, when he was interrupted by Captain Burn ex claiming—' 'Tis false as hell." Mr. PHILLIPb'S statement was frequently interrupted by Captain Burn, who declared that it was all a fabri cationound that his Counsel, Mr. ALLEY, failed to con duct his case satisfactorily to him, by permitting such assertions to pat: uncentradicted. Mr. At.t.tv—Then, Sir, here's your brief for you—you may conduct the case yourself. Captain Burn was persuaded with much difficulty to refrain from further interruption. Mr. PHILLIPS proceeded—The Captain squeezed and shoved his client to such a degree that he was nearly making him a fit subject for as neat a tomb as his client could make, had he not been interrupted by Mri. Phelps who exerted herself to terminate the affair, fear ing she might be a husband out of pocket—(A laugh). Mr. Phelps the prisoner s then mounted the witness box, and Captain Burn passed into the character of prisoner. Mr. Phelps swore that he was assaulted by the Captain. Miss Marianne Phelps confirmed the statement. The CHAIRMAN summed up. Verdict—Mr. Phelps Net Guilty, Captain Burn Guilty. Judgment of the Court—Captain Burn to pay a fine of .ElO, with permission to speak to the prosecutor. A New Yank Paper of September 21., says—" Miss L. K aux made a very successful bit in Beatrice on Wednesday evcning. The audience were delighted with her perfprnaance." NAVAL IVTELLIGENCE.

The restoration of the East end of St. Saviour's Church, Southwar k, has been just completed, and forms a splendid ornament in the access to the new London bridge, on the Borough side. Considerable part of the old buildings, between the Church and the River, are now about to be removed for an abutment to the new bridge,, and to widen the future meet to which the bridge will join itself; and the ancient and magnificent edifice will be fully exhibited to the view cf the Public. Whilst a visitor is on the spot, his antiquarian research will be much gratified on entering the building adjoining the East end of the choir, still retaining the name of " the Spiritual Court," where multitudes of Protestants, in the days of " bloody Mary," received sentence of con demnation to the flames. The light Gothic pillars sup porting the roof of this building will not fail to be ad mired ; and in the same spot, is the elegant monument of Dr. Launcelot Andrews, Bishop of Winchester, with his recumbent figure is pontifwalibus. •In one of the side aisles of the nave, will be seen the monument of Gower, the poet. The tower of this Church, as well as the East end, has been restored, under the direction of Mr. Gamma GWILT, and is an able specimen of simple and elegant, yet masssive Gothic architecture. The Monastery and Bishop's Palace, near the Church, are quite in ruins. In the latter, whets inhabited by Bishop Gardiner, the fury and ciueity of Papal judgments raged to their greatest heights.
