TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. The following letter is from the pen of a mast 'res pectable member of the Livoity,ol Society for the abolition of slav , ov. It is earnestly recommended at the present crisis to the wiTusal of' all those who take a part in the question of West Indian slavery. Many benevolent p..esons have joined the ranks df the abolitionists without maturely weighing the import ant intevats that are at stake. They ought to be warned that many and very scrims difficulties stand in the way of emancipation ; that instead of arriving at the end proposed—the extinction of slavery, revolt and ruin would be the certain consequences of premature and incautious measures. In a word, that the effect of their interference would be only to increase the evil, which it is their object to terminate. Patti t of sight every thing but the accomplishment of a fa scheme, some sanguine individuals are dissa tisfied "C the work of an age be compressed anti the space of a day," and have yet to learn " that the affairs of this world are not to be governed, nor the liaprin..te. of mankind secured by intentions, however good, which mili tate against a sound and prudent policy."—Quarterly Re vol. xxix. 418. Let it also ba remembered that emancipation has not, until a very late period, entered into the views of those who profers, to be most interested in the happiness of the negro population. Subsequently to the accomplishment of the abo lition of the Slave-trade, Mr. Wilberforce himself has expli citly declared, "that an attempt had b...en made, with con siderable success, to confinond the abolition of the /nide in abased,with the emancipation of those already in tie thotigh the abolitionists took all opportunities of - proclaiming that it was the dare trade, and not daecey, against which they were directing their efforts." (Letter to his Excellency the Prince Talleyrattd, &c. &c. p. I am, fire. S. 1). London, Jag. It, 1914 LETTER TO THE 'AVE/WOOL SOCIETY FOR THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. When I was solicited to became a number of your society, I corsented to.be pat in nomination more from a wish to strengthen your numbers, and to give variety to the character and callings of Its members, thso from a hops that 1 could, by my own personal efforts, contribtite anything to promote the cause which you advo cated. Haring been elected, I entered sealously on my duty, though not thee su ffi ciently impressed with the Importance of the subieet ; for the more I have since viewed it in all its cosh; ,ations and coneemieuess; the greater the di iteulties in the way of emu- , chat* have appeared. From the very that I felt myself bound to l isrse many of the principle ego.: which you were acting; a trust I had some share in reducing the tone and character of y rD4 di' raann of P , lielpies, to a standard to which you may , appeal with satisfaction to yourselves, and without giving offence matters. I have also found myself compelled to oppose every marling calculated to amount the society. as to the period of emancipation ; mid to combat many of the notions entertained as to the treatment and condition of the slaves. If, in the course of my opposition, I have betrayed anything like warmth of liertina city, it has arisen from a zealous wish to discharge what 1 con ceived the isomer of truth required.

The sue opt to mingle blacks and whites, now separated by feeling and principle, like the castes of India. into an harl2lo - society, where uninvited's wrongs shall remain untalented, does appear to me, when I look at the vast disparity of numbers, tri be a most perilous undertaking. I shrink from the attempt •almost in despair, and can find no consolation in the whole subject, but that I have dime so little to urge on that catastrophe. which I Winder your premeditated proongs will probably . produce. I know that what is generally understood by emancipation must and will take place, bat never, I fear, as you propoee: your measures wlil aceelriate the crisis, and then, for Emancipation you will have to read Rreult. am sensible that to remain passive spectators, of events which, in their natural course, muct end in disaster and ruin, without making an effort to avert the calamity. would betray a wart of mural energy. and become a subject of just reproach. I &sew that a system of gradual amelioration mist be put in ani ma ; that instruction must be conveyed to the minds of the slaves; and if subordination followed in their train, as a certain and neces. gory consequence, they could scarcely be imparted too rapidly, but there is the danger and the diffkulty—a danger oat len imminent to the slaves than to the planters; and ■ difficulty which the planters will have to encounter without the light of experience, or precedent as a goicle. It is obvious. therefor,, that the most con summate caution and the most vigilant exercise of authority must be observed. But all this is dearly the butinesa of the planters, fir they are surrounded with difficilties, from which there is but one escape—they increase upon thews—and pressed as they are by palilic opinion and the force of wireumstantee, their only resource us amelioration. If they were wise, they would rather solicit aa ourtance, than depreiate every vpeties of interference; and if the i bei t i oc i st ,, h a d a joct regard far the welfare of the slaves, they ;should support. mad (if necessary) recite the planters, instead of abusing and urging them to adopt measures, • hich would inevit ably prose fatal to both partin.

I believe I stated, at the very first meeting which I attended, my conv;ction that the society was beginning at the wrong end. I stated that the first effirt should be to put down the slave trade, now carried on by France, Spain, and Portugal ; lieesuse it was a waste of time to set about emancipating 800,000 slaves, in compa ratively comfortable circumstances, while 70.00 or NAN w?..ro earned every year from the coast of Africa to the Foreign Colonies. I think that the total destruction of that trade might easily be se. complished by the concurrence of any two great maritime powers, such as England and America; and if the voice of the nation had demanded such an interference on the part of our own Government, that interference could not have failed of success. I think, too, It may he proved, that even the quiet emancipation of our own slaves would Inevitably tend to increase the num be r carried into captivity to Foreign Colonies ; and, if I am right, what becomes of your philanthropy ? I ground this opinion, on the belief that the slaves are well fed and full worked ; and that en emancipated slave would perform very little work ; consequently we, or Europe, or both, would have to draw increased supplies of sugar and coffee from the Slave Colonies of other nations. It is one of the laws of nature that the fertility of the soil, and the nature of the climate, determine the quantity of labour 'sues. sary to preserve existence. In the tropics, where the fruits of the earth spring almost spontaneously, man ii scarcely called upon for labour; and hence, to the inhabitant of colder regions, his life seems to pass in sloth and idleness. The reverse of this holds in the colder lautudesewhere a man is compelled to industry and in. cessant toil. It is notorious that the native Indians, to whom the slaves hay • succeeded, led a life of indolence, and that the eman. ciliated slaves of St. Domingo produce comparativelz nothing; that Island, which grew sr much sugar as all the other islands put together, at the time of the revolt, now produces little more than it consumes ; and the export of coffee has declined more than one. half. Will any man believe that 800,000 Blacks, Indolent by na ture, as they confessedly are, would, by the meat tone of emanci pation, volt.ntatily produce sugar and coffee to feed more than twenty millions of Whites ? The law of nature Contradicts It, experience Is against it, and' erimnion sense rejects it, es one of those propositions which carries absurdity on its freed It is, I repeat, notorious that the Blacks in all conturiee pew sera an invincible repugnance to labour, and that immediate nor cushy only excites them. What reason is there then to expect Am. under soy circumstances, they would ever beitencsoll. ciently industrious when emancipated, to give us one present sop. ply of Colonial produce ? It is the matter of complaint amongst the Abolitionists that they are now over-worked • but then they assert that, if they were free labourers, they would do more work In less time—and what they now do by coercion, they would then do voluntarily. Is it possible to conceive a motive' for each e'en tions ? Ina soil and climate which will produce the fruits Other earth, necessary to existence, with the least possible tabour, red: almost spontaneously, what motive can a man have to maks souk us:tikes P Our notions of convenience and comforts ouch people cannot comprehenti,—" the idea of pleasure which must be pur chased by toil, presents a contradiction in terms." You may make them free labourers, but you canntit make them work. If I out right in believing they would not work, we mutt that obtain our sugar and coffee from other sources • and thetwbith the East In. dies could not supply we must get am Cuba, Aso to Brazils ; and the Continent of Europe would require the dAesency to be sup. plied, which the Celkilkbefl of the export of' out putout surplus and' the abstraction of Ear India imports, woulecrudo. Thus a new and very extensive demand for the 'produce of skive labour would be established, and more slates would consequently be canted into captivity. I ask, again, what becomes of your plulanthropy, and If you did not begin at the wrong end ? .

SANDARS. THR LATE Ma. MARRYATT.—AIthough it is a private ) matter, and concerns the family alone, yet, as mast errone ous accounts respecting the property left by Mr. Marc ant, and its distribution, have gone forth to the public, we think the following will be found nearly correct:—Hu widow has the house and furniture at Vi imbledon, and 4,0001. a-year ; each of his seven sons has 31,0001.; each of his three daughters has 12,0001. The business of Marry- ' 'att and Son, which we believe to be u good a West India Agency, as any in London, of its extent, is left to be conducted by his let and 3d sons. His property, therefore, will be 360,0001., exclusive of the house and land belong ing to it, a princely fortune, all made as a British mer chant. Before Mr. Bell had finally retired from the Court of Chancery, he waited on the Lord Chancellor to acquaint him of his intention. The Learned Lord. justly estimating the distinguished legal abilities of Mr. Bea, remonstrated with him on the itnpolicy of puttin g his intentions iuto im mediate execution. "My rd,' said Mr. Bell, "I am growing old." "I am your senior by seine years," 1 re plied Lord Eldon. "My Lord, 1 feel myself growing I weak." "I am much weaker, Mr. Bell," said the Chan cellor. " I hare a swimming in my head "—" and so have I," retorted his Lordship. "My Lord," said Mr. Bell, " I have made money cnough.' —The Chancellor was silent !

In a word, he could assure them that, if they compelled him to make An order, in lees than foor.and.twenty hours afterwards, they would cwt sincerely lament it—end that, unless they did ends it between themselves before this day week, if he lived he would make a de cree: The parties were not to bedeceived with the notion that be. mieseo decree must necessarily be mischievous, that thereto,, the Court would not make one; the Court had no right to say or to think, that any decree the law of the lend called foe would be enie eblevoest still it might more readily occur to the Court, than to parties that in some cases, and particularly in this one the conse quence would be in mike respects moat mischievous; sod there fore hie Lordship earnestly recommended a settlement between the parties oat of Court.

His address was principally a repetition of the same course of remark and reasoning adopted by the precol izacgimtlesnen and of the arguments' which the learned gentleman upon before, as reported in the British Press of yesterday. In addition to the arguments urged by the learned gentleman yes terday, he went over the whole case in detail, and read a mass of dscumentarf evidence. In commenting on the proceedings before the Vice-Chancellor, he said that the whole of the evidence was not beard before his Honour made his decision. Mr. TaxsaLove, who appeared on the opposite side, observed that this remark was not correct. Mr. llicorraouz said, that if it were the intention of Mr. Tray. love to sakireas the Court, ha should for the present sit down. As as advocate be claimed the right of being heard without Inter r. TaiseLovd said, tlrt the erMence which Mr. Montague now stated not to have beet before the Vice-Chancellor, was, at' the request of Mr. Montague, read by his Honour. He said this to counteract the insinuation to the public that the Vice-Chancellor decided without evidence. Mr. Mosyrsoux said, that what be complained of was, that counsel were not permitted to comment on the evidence. In .fact, counsel woe not heard for Grimatcad, and he therefore felt himself at liberty to say so. As to Insinuation to the public, he was not addressing the public; for the public he cared not a farthing : he despised the opinion of a babbling world, whose cen. sure and whose praise were indiscriminately awarded. lie had en deavoured to infuse a corresponding feeling in the mind of his late lamented friend, Sir Samuel Roundly, in oiler to induce him to dis engage himself from pursuits foreign to his profession. He al luded to the election business at Hristol. That excellent person asked hint what the anticnts thought in this respect. He (Mr. 111.) replied, by reference to the espreasion of an ancient, Ybocion, who said, " What have I done smog r This was his feeling too; and since he was capable of judging. he had always acted on it. He wished, certainly, to gain the good opinion and esteem of the profession in which he was engaged, anti of those who surrounded his fire-side • but for the public he cared not. The Learned (ten tlevion proce eded: to read at great length, on the evidence given at the several examinations before the Commissinners, and also the evidence given at the trial, and comment upon than. The LORD CHAXCELLOC (Mr. Montague not having con cluded his address) said that he would resume the hearing of fur. titer argument on Saturday. However inconvenient may be the length of time it would occupy, he thought it better to hear it to an end, as great difficulties would arise from the postponement of it, by losing Lite thread of the arguments which had been offered upon it. In saying this, he did not mean to complain of the time taken op by Counsel in the discussion of it, as he was anxious it should receive In this Court the tidiest and moat patient investigation.

It was contended, on the other side, that if this course was par sued, it would be full of inconvenience and danger to Solicitors, and the measure wn net adopted in the Court of Chancery. The VIC g-CH ASICZLLOR thought that, after the decision of the Chancellor in the case or fluted and Lane, nothing was left to his discretion. The payment of a bill of asses by a Solicitor was not conclusive against the client, more especially when that client resided at Hamburg'', and his advice was not taken upon the occa sion. There was certainly another question to be considered, with respect to the executors of the Solicitor t but the King's Bench had always held that a bill mrty be taxed against the Executors, and the Common Pleas had at last assented to the same principle ; and though special circumstances might occur in which such a princi ple might be departed troni, he saw nothing in the case before the Court to warrant that departure, and he would therefore assent to the prayer of the petition. 1W THE MATTER or SMITH. Mr. HART asked his Honour if a motion respecting the striking an attorney of 'the Rolls might not be restored to the paper ? The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he had no authority, without the special order of the Lord Chancellor. Mr. HART thought that, by granting the permission, the Court would be only supporting its own orders. The Vits-Cwascxxxon said, the Court would of course act' as fear as that was concerned. Mr. HART thought the proceedings of the other Courts in this matter ought not to conclude this Court. The Vics-Cnascaxxoa thought it would be an important de cision if that Court declared a person to be fit to act se • Solicitor, wham the Courts of Ring's Bench and Common Pleat declared in e t to be an Antoine?. l t re e . t rlaar said the Lord Chancellor thought the proceeeings against this Solicitor were not satisfu, and he would pause before he deprived an individual of tiops his only means of uniting. The VICEXHASCELLOR said, that by hearing this ease he would be passing a discordant judgment, and it was the policy of the whole judicature to avoid judgments of such a nature. He would therefore not hear the case. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, THURSDAY, JAW. 22. Themes Wehh was addicted for as amault on Maws& It appeared that the plaintiff was officially occupied at the pas.

POOR Law CASES.Mr.C:RW:OIW ----- erthit overseers of the pa rish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, appeared before the Magistsate l _to answer the complaint of Mary Norman, under the saisur teasing circumstances:—She stated that she and b though of Irish nativity, had been resident in London tine s infancy. They have been married 14 years, and resident In this parish but toll never efilcted a legal settlement; that during the lest six years, her husband, owing to Mans, has been unable to earn a shilling, and that by her own exertions she bad endeavoured to maintain him and five children ; that latterly their distress was so extreme, that she applied to the overseer on behalf of the chil dren, conaidering they had a claim, as born in England ; which claim, however, was not acknowledged by Mr. Can, who refused to give any relief, milers they all consented to be passed to Ireland. Mr. SE LLow, the Presiding Magistrate, on hearing the caise,eit- Lairgreat indignation. He observed to Mr. Carr, that Ms con ireflected disgrace upon the pariah, and that UM& 11= rteldestelknotring those theta) be even refuse te koy He then added, that he considered the children's eialinTlW - W perfectly just, and insisted on its being attended to. Mr. Carr peremptorily refused, stating, that the case had been ruled otherwise at the sessions, and that he would appeal from the Magistrate's decision. After the above case was disposed of, a feeble, elderly man, named Bryan, applied to the Magistrate for his interference. He stated that Mr. Carr acknowledged him to be entitled to relief, as he had been for some time in the workhouse ; that during the last eight months he was in the country, getting occasional om. ployment, and that on returning to town, he was exhausted ; that he slept the last night at Islington, and, on applying in the morn ing to Mr. Carr for relief, he refused It. Mx Carr, in defence, stated, that the complainant had absconded from the workhous; and that having been guilty of such an injury to the interests of the parish, he would give him no relief until the etiquette of his being passed from Islington parish was complied with. The Magistrate, aware that by the pauper's sleeping one night is his own parish, he would be entitled to relief. regretted that un til that was done, he could not prevent its being delayed under such frivolous pretences. John Jerkins, who was remanded until this day, charged with having stolen a great coat and eleven umbrellas, the property of John Adams, umbrella-manufacturer, 76, Barbican, was brought up for second examination. 1 John Adams, the complainant, stepped forward to be sworn, with a solemnity of manner which excited observation • and. after being sworn, not looking directly to the Magistrate, bu t around, as if he were addressing his congregation, proceeded to state that he belonged to the religious community, entitled " Revivalists ;" that on the evening of New Year's Day he was called away from his temporal concerns to administer spiritual comfort to his brethren, in Ebenezer Chapel, and that while officiating, his attention was attracted by the penitent and (*write demeanour of the pnsooea, who was not content with rending his heart, but was setts y rend ing his garments. Sctiek with his conduct, he afterwards ad dressed the prisoner, who stated that be was awakened to a sense of his sinful state by the powers of his (Adams's) preaching. Thinking he might one day become an ornament to the Society of " Revival ists," lie took the prisoner under his protection ; and the first roof he gave of his regenerate mind was, to rob hint of the move articles. _ _ _ The prisoner was remanded for the production of an important witness.
