WEST INDIA SLAVERY. The annual general meeting of the Edinburgh Society for the mitigation and ultimate abolition of Negro Maven was held on Wednesday last, when a petition to the House of Commons was weed to, requesting them to resume the consideration of the im portant question of the mitigation of slavery, avid to take such tar thee steps as may seem to them expedient foe carrying their untini. MOUS resolutions of last Session into effect : via.—" To adopt effec tual and decisive measures for meliorating the condition of the Olive population in his Majesty's colonies. and thus preparing them for a participation in those civil rights and privileges which are en joyed by other classes of his Majesty's subjects." At this meeting , 1 !Ir. Campbell read a letter from the Secretary of the London So oay, stating that " the sentiments of Ministers are not known," but adding, that " no disposition to withdraw is evinced, vine is ex pected, if they are supported by the people, joining theft King' temperately in the great cause." The inhabitants of Barnard-castle have drawn up a petition to Parliament, on the subject of Negro Slavery, which is now lying to the Town-hall fur signatures.—Durham Paper. The Glasgow Society for promoting the gradual abolition of Slavery have published a declaration of their sentiments on the !tuition of the West Indian Slavery, which concludes in these terms:—" We treat the force which is now seat out, will establish and maintain the reign of law and good government among all par tisp. : That under its protection the plans of Amelioration *ill pro ceed in their peaceful and silent operation : That we shall bear no longer of insurrection on the one hand, nor of the language of me once to the Government of this country on the other : That men of every class will unite in gi ving effect to the plans proposed by their superiors for the general good : That under their influence, the character and manners of t ime enslaved population sill undergo a happy change, and rise in something of the purity and elevation of a Christian people. That free labourers of every kind and co lone, shall, in the progress of yea's', be found increasing in num ber, as in value, till at last every remnant of slavery shall the away, and the blessings of liberty, religion, industry, peon. and Nam: security be diffused throughout every quarter of the Ittitish empire." On Thursday last, a large and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitaata of Tewkesbury , convened by the Worshipful the Bid lies, was held at the Town-hall in that borough, for the purpose of taking into saarlderadon the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the amelioration of the condition of the slaves in the British West Indian Colonies. In few places has the abolition of slavery mat with more cordial or decided support; and the interest dis played on this occasion was truly gratifying. The origin, influence. sold te.idency of the system, were examined at length, and urged with considerable sinquasee and skill. The petition was conceived interim at one* nicupnate and 'firm, and was ultimately carried with only duos diwtoosiont 'tortes.—Glawester Journal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

HARRIS. Mr. HEALD, on the part of the leases, seeing the parties in Court, applied to his lordship to continue his order for suspending the appointment of a receiver. He only required the suapension until the loth of March. Mr. HART :Aid, that the order for appointing a receiver had not been suspended ; his Lordship had intimated a wish that this case ,should be mentioned to him on this day, unless the lessees should previously hat e consented to an amicable appointment of a receiver. The Learned Gentleman was instructed, that, up to the present moment, his client, Mr. Const, had never received Asia& commu. niration of that nature from them. If his Lordship would now consent to suspend the or.ter till the 20th of March, he would, at the expiration of that time, be asked to suspend it further till the tkith of August. Mr. Hs ALD declared that his clients were quite willing to enter into an amicable arrangement of the affair. The LORD CHANCE 11.0R—I.Ct the order pass. The Court cannot be trifled with. I ant anxious to give every assistance and facility in my power to an amicable arrangement, and to the ay pointntent of a receiver by the parties themselves, as I am pretty well aware what a disagreeable sort of visitor a receiver of the Court would be in such a place as a theatre. Whenever the parties wish to make an amicable appointment among themselves, let them signify it to me, and then the order may be suspended. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TIIIIIDAY. Frs. U.

Sergeant PELL stated the case. It was an action brought to recover 1141. 1 Is. ed. for goods sold and delivered by a bankrupt, of the name of Russell, o the defendant; and the present action was brought on certain negotiable securities, by the assignees of the 'bankrupt's estate. Doctor Lady was a man of very great notasiese ; his name was upon every wall in the metropolis; all who ran might read it. " Long life to Doctor Lady !" and he wished he could add to his patients. He (the Learned Sergeant) had not the honour 01 knowing this modern Esculapius of hapless love; but if he were present he would have the sanstaction of hntliog his history detailed in a Court of Law. The Doctor was formerly a linen-draper at St. Ives, in Huntingdonshire, and the beamed Sergeant believed that port of the debt now sought to be recovered from him was incurred for articles of haberdashery, be while he resided at that flan. He subirequ. nay came to London, where he set up the business of a quack, and became one of the loudest quacks in the whole country. Phis illustrious gentleman (continued the Learned Sergeant) wee not only a lioa(X, but, judging front his declaration, he was also a lawyer, for he pleaded—lst, that he did not owe the money; 241 y, the St,eute of Limitations ; and idly, that be had been a bankrupt. fkese several pleas the Learned Sergeant would call witnesses to refute. With regard to the plea of bankruptcy, the Doctor had been a bankrupt twice. The tint rime he did not, as the Learned Sergeant believed, obtain his certificate; sad, by an Act of Paella ment, if a person became bankrupt a second time, and did not pay Iss. in the pound, his effects were afterwards liable. It was proper that the Doctor should be made to pay his debts; but instead of so doing, he had retained his Learned Friends (Sec. greats Vaughan and Dusanquet) to defend kin In this cause; and they looked quints; grays on the ocassiw as if they had taken some of the Doctor's physic. (A laugh.) He (the Learned Sergeant) should prove what he had stated ; and the Jur, would give him their verdict. The commission of bankruptcy against Russell sod others was put in, dated Nov.

I settled with hint to pay me by such no:es as should send me, and he paid rue a vnuill balaiire in cash. He sent me the notes produced, but I cannot swear they are in his hand writing, as I never saw him write. John Riniington proved the hand-writing of Mister Samuel Philip Lady un the notes produced. The notes were sad, six number. Lady carried on the business of a linen-draper at St. Ives when I first dealt with him. I repeatedly applied fur payment of the notes, but they were not paid. 1 last saw him about two years since; 1 had previously seen him at his residence, where I went for payment of the notes. His general answer was that he could not pay them sow, but by.and.by he should be able to pay them. The Imt dins I saw him eras at the top of Walbrook. said, " Now Eady, you must pay those notes, for they tell me you sreabout to set up your carriage."

This cause had been introduced in a manner that had excited in him sonic surprise. Ile did not know why his Learned Edited had gone out of Ina way to detail the birth, parentage, and education of Samuel Philip Lady, to whom his Leaned F riend had given a diploma, unless he wisibed to acquire a belle posthumous thaw by concretinglns name wi,h that of the died character fa; , whom he (Mr. Sergeant Vaughan) ap as caused. Th e Jury would stein see the name of E yon a wall again without thinking of Mr. Sergeant Pell. It really did appear that his Learned Friend sought to share the celeb, ity of this geodeman. " Oh ! while &Wog the stream of time thy name, Expanded, dies and gg.uhers all its fame, Say, shall his little bark attendant sail, Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale ?" His Learned Friend had entered into the history of Dr. Eady, of whom he (Mr. Sergeant Vaughan) knew nothing; but from the knowledge which his Learned Friend had shown of him, he sua. pec.ed his Learned Friend was a iderpiag partner of the Doctor's, Mr the purpose of raising II prejudice against hint. The Jury must be satisfied, that what Dr. Lady was stated to have said to Mr. Russell, that " it would be all eight by-and-by," took it nut of the Statute of Limitations, before they could give their verdict fur the plaintiff. The Learned Sergeant was proceeding to advert m the Doctors bankruptcy, when Mr. Justice Pane expressed a strong opinion, that the declare. Lion of Lady was as acknowledgment of the debt and • promise. to pay, and that consequently the Statute of Limitations did not attach. The Jury immediately gave a verdict for the plaintiffs—Da mages, 1601. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, FEB. 24. 'had requested a young man, whom he knew, to convey a has ever the ferry io litrentford, to be sent to London by roach. The hod was handed by Hogan over the wall of the garden, and it being too late for the terry, th e y oung ma n took it over Kew bridge to a booking-house, whence it was conveyed to the prisoner by coach. It was addressed "Mr. Robert Sweet, nurseryman, Chelsea." Ho gan, the under - gardener , absconded without his wages, when the eat hstir was made about the mbhery. The case for the prosecution being closed, the prhoner put in a written defence, which was read by the other of the Court. lie stated that be had been between twelve and thirteen years in the nursery of Mr. Colville, where he was a servant only, and could have no assignable motive for the offence imputed to him. Ile had no interest whatever in the stock, and never received the least duo , lument from the disposal of any portion of it. He had received a great many parcels containing plants, without knowing front whence or from whom they came. lilany hundreds, indeed, had passed through his hands in that way. They had been sent to him in con , sequence of his being known as the author of severs/ botanical works, and he had disposed of them, as he did of others, for the sole advantage of his employer. In the course of a long life he had never had the slightest imputation upon his character, and the Jury must now believe (if they found him guilty), that he had all at once forfeited the good name which be had always borne, without any assignable motive. He should prove in evidence, that the plants now produced were by no means so rare as Ind been stared; that thee were to be found in almost every collection, and that he had, as he had asserted, been in the constant habit of receiving packages of plants, without letters of advice or any other means of knowing from whence they crime. 'When the defence was concluded, a Juror called back Smith, the deputy manager at Kew gardens, and asked him if it was allowed hie the servants in the gardens to give away . plants to their friends ? Mr. Smith answered in the negative ; and in reply to further ques tions Iran the same gentleman, lie said he knew that Mr. Anon, the principal manager of Kew gardens, had written some botanical works, and that Mr. Sweet was the author of several works upon the same science. Witness believed that Mr. Aiton's works had been very severely criticised in the Retarded Register. Did not know positively that Mr. Sweet was the author or editor of that work. Could not say of his own knowledge that Mr. Sweet had in one of his works called Mr. Aiton a'• dunce." Mi. Dunn, clerk to Mr. Colville, the prisoner's employer, de posed that the latter was the author of the fietaniarl Rerrioter. It was the constant practice to have plants sent as a matter of courtesy to their grounds from all parts of the kingdom, without any letter of advice. The nursery where the plants in question were found was always open. Packages were frequently addressed to Ms. Sweet, as well as to Mr. Colville, Weary Wiskin, a young man practising for instruction in Mr. Colville 's grounds. said that the prisoner was well known in the scientific world (as regarded botany), and that plants were frequently sent to him for the purposes of experiment. Mr. William Anderson, botanist in the Apothecaries gardens at Chelsea, looked at all the plants produced, and said he had seen three out of the fire in almost every collection. He had often re ceived psrcels sent anonymously, containing rare plants. They were sent by way of puede. The prisouer was considered, he be lieved, to be the find practical botanist in Europe, and it was not at all surprising that things should be sent to him in the same way. The witness spoke in the highest terms of the moral character of the prisoner. Mr. James Ridgeway, the publisher, of Piccadilly, deposed that he published several botanical works of which the prisoner was the author. Mr. Alton had been spoken of in these worts. Witness had often received parcels of plants from various parts of the king. dour for the prisoner, and had sent them to hint. Had known him many years and never dealt with a mere honourable man. UPWards'of forty witnesses were called to character, who all spoke in the highest (some in almost enthusiastic)ternis of the moral con. duct of the prisoner. ' 31r. Justice Beer summed up the evidence, and the Jury re turned a verdict of N'li Guilty. POLICE. HA TTON-OA RDE N.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall. The Court was specially called, for the purpose of considering the subject of an application which had been made to Parliament for power to erect Docks between the Tower and the London Meta. -- Atnemorial was presented from the Yeomen of the Waterside, stating, that in consequence of the obstructions they had met with, they could not execute the order of the last Court, in respect of placing salesmen at the standings to which they had been appoint ed, and that actions had been brought against the Yeomen fur trey posses in such their endeavours. The Court instructed the Yeomen to enforce their former order, and requested the bard hfayor to afford such assistance to the officers as might appear necessary ; and the City Solicitor was di rected to defend the actions brought against the officers. A petition was presented from several inhabitants of Upper Thames-street, praying the Court to consider the expediency of widening the said street, so as to afford convenience to the public, as, in the event of the new Docks being made, much mischlef would arise to the petitioners, and great Inconvenience to the pub. lie. It was referred to the Improvement Committee. Petitions were then presented front Mrs. Butcher, Mr. Butcher, and Mr. Matthew Bell, in relation to the standings in Billingsgate Market which being read, were refereed to the City Lands Com mittee' to examine and report thereon. The Remetnbrancer then laid before the Court a copy of the peti tion which had been presented to the House of Commons, for an Act to construct additional Docks, occupying the space between the Tower of London and the London Docks, with warehouses and other works ; which was referred to the Navigation Coin ' mittee. ...... Upon a Report from the Committee for fieneral Purposes, the Court voted the sum of 3001. in aid of the funds of the Guardi.m Society. The Committee appointed in respect of Tithes in London pre sented a report, for a ffo rding the assistance of the Recorder, Com mon-Sergeant, Town-Clerk, and Solicitor, to an inhabitant of the parish of Ss. Olave, Hart-street, in a suit instituted against him by the Rector, fur the recovery of tithes, at the rate of 2tt. 9d. in the pound upon the back rental of his premises; which was read, agreed to, and releued back to the Committee, to give directions accordingly. MARKETS. [From the New London Price Cerrent, Feb. 24.1 COTTON—The demand for Cotton continued very good during the whole of last week ; the sales exceeding 2300 bales, at fully the prices of the week preceding, and, in sonic instances, Su rats of the last sale, brought an advance of id. per lb. though this has not been submitted to by the trade. There has been more in quiry fur export than for some weeks past, land most of the India and llowed bare been taken for shipment ; the Pernams for home use. _ . LIVERPOOL, Fen. 21.—There has continued a regular but steady demand for Cotton from the dealers and spinners through out the whole of the week, and the prices of aU descriptions hero been fully maintained. COFfr SE.—The Coffee market remained in such a languid and depressed state, after the day of our publication last week, that the holders withdrew their Coffee from public sale; there were no pur chasm by private contract, and generally the market was very heavy, the buyers directing their attention to the East India Have ' sale. The public sale this forenoon went off with greater briskness than for some time preceding; the prices are full ts. pee nit. higher; the sale consisted of 132 Cub, 128 bags Berbice and De mesa CAM; Triage sold 60s. a 695, fine °Whiney 70a. a ifine fine oedinary foxy Wm 6d., middling 106 s. a 100 s. 64., goo middling le/s. dd. SCOAR.—There was no alteration in the prices of Muscovado last week; the market continued heavy, and the purchases re-1 ported were inconsiderable: the sugars suitable for relining are still scarce, and rate higher than the popery descriptions. The sugar market opened uncommonly heavy thin mournsg; several considerable holders were sanguine of a reduction of the duty (cer tainly without any good reason), and as this is now completely out' of the question, the market is very dull, the salts reported are quite inconsiderable ; no reducdun in the prices ears be generally stated yet purchases may be generally made on lower terms. The holders of Relined goods continued sanguine of obtaining higher pekes early in het week; towards tbecloso, however, they evinced an in welsh* dispordtion to effect sales, and purchases could le eenesso quence be made on rather lower teams; no general reduction is doe prices mould, however, be stated. Molasses Ka. 6d. a 28e. This forenoon there is a considerable inquiry for Lumps to complete the contracts entered into sonic time ego foe crushed sugars, and the prices since this day week tray be stated Is. higher ; all other Re fined goods are very heavy, but without alteration in the prices. Molasses are 275. Oil. a Zs.; the former the nearest quotation.-1 In Foreign Sugars' no sales of any extent were last week reported. HEMP, FLA X,' and TALLOW.—The "Tallow market has been depressed by the extensive speculators selling their old Tallow at very reduced price* ; yellow candle Tallow, in consequence, de clined to 34a. ;' since which there has been some improvement, and l 345. Id. is to-day the nearest quotation ; the market is however still languid. Hemp must be quoted at a small reduction. In Flax there is little variation to notice. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The reduction of the duty on Ru th frost Ile. 74d. per gallon to Ws. rid. per gallon, has little effect on the market this morning ; but we have no doubt ulti mately it must advance the prices : the immediate effect may thus be described :—this is the season when the favourite marks are am erected for, for home consumption, and the holders will, no doubt, stand firm for a part of the reduction of the duty, say one-half ar one-third ; and though no immediate effect is at present discerni ble, yet there can be no doubt it must also operate favourably for the lower qualities of Runt. To-day the market may be stated heavy, on account ore very considerable failure in the trade, whose stock must come upon the market ; the nearest price of proof Lee wards to-day is Is. 74d. per gallon. Brandy is also heavy from the failure we have stated ; purchases way be made lower than last week. In Geneva there is no alteration. give the particulars of the Silk sale last week at the India House, average price, &c. This morning the market has been violently convulsed by the reduction of the duties announced last night in the House of by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; the effect upon the trade cannot at present be accurately given, as there are no buyers of Raw Silk this morning till they can for some opinion of the effect likely to be produced. It would appear the Silk trade is completely taken by surprise as to the reduction of duty ; the most extensive houses are this morning busily employed in calling a utcetins for to-morrow, to consult upon the great change, its probable effects, &e. WOOL.—As the reduction of the duty will not immediately take place, it is not expected that there will be any immediate alteration in the price, as the present stock of Foreign %Vool, under' the King's Lock, in London, Bristol, Liverpool, and Hull, is only about 5,300,0001b5., or sixteen weeks' consumption, accord ing to the quantity which paid duty in 1823, and which was in ex cess beyond 1822 by about 2,080,0801ba. : although the price of all Foreign Wools, except the finest Saxons, continued to decline in price during last year, the activity of the manufacture was never greeter, not a loom being unemployed both in the North and West of En land, and the dentand fur Cloth good, but at low prices. It Is • to focal any opinion as lathe probable eBkct which the removal of the prohibitory laws regarding the exportation of British Wool may have: the onlylartiele likely to be in demand for exporta tion is the long or combing Wool, and the price of such will pro bably be a good deal affected, if there should be any considerable exportation of it. It appears that the trade have been completely taken by surprise, and among the importers the general opinion is that the duty ought to be taken o ff at one period ; and as , inde -1 pendent of the Wool in bond, there are large quantities uncoil 'timed in the bands of the dealers and manufacturers, it has been considered that a reduction at so early a period as July would cause great loss to many individuals. MIAMI:R.—In August last the sawyers employed by the ' ship-builders in Liverpool, not satisfied with the rate of wages they have been receiving fur the last seven years , demanded an in. crease, which their employers not complying with, they (what is technically termed) turned out, and their conduct since bas been marked by systematic and sanguinary violation of the laws of their country, and have just terminated in the murder of an unoffend- Ing individual. We should be at a loss to know how so large a body of men could subsist for five months without working, were we not assured that they arc receiving support from sawyers' dubs in other parts of the kingdom, which is distributed amongst the men at Liverpool at about from 10s. to Ilk. a week each man, in proportion to the number of his family. This assistance enables them to persevere in their turn out, and by e ff ectually preventing other men supplying their places, to set their masters at defiance, and so force a compliance with their demands. After the sawyers abandoned their work, the masters procured workmen from the country, who have been abused, and successfully intimidated, and finally driven from the town. The masters have since engaged other men to supply their places, and these have lately in several instances been waylaid and most shamefully abused. On Mon day se'nnight a peaceable man, named Jones, but who was ttncon• netted with their club, was attacked by three of them, while going home, and inhumanly murdered with bludgeons. His skull was fractured in three plato. One of the villains named Griffiths, after the man lay insensible, turned back. exclaiming " his soul, I'll give him his death-blow !" and struck Jones again on the head, and then followed his companions, but was seized while in the act of throwing away his bludgeon. Two of the blud geons have been found ; they are about two feet long, and two inches square, made of hard and heavy wood, and knotted in the, handle% so ma to befrnnly grasped, and are altogether beat deadly weapons. The other two villains escaped. A verdict of " Wllfyl Murder has been returned! against Griffiths, who is a sawyer, about 24 yeas' efage.-Gfaseosr Virtu. SPORTING INTELLIGEXCE.

I am, Gentlemen, yours very trniy, THOMAS REYNOLDS. Monday Morning, Feb. 23 , 1824, Castle Tavern, Holborn. [From the CaledoniateMereary of Saturday.] The milling mania seems to have seized on our worthy cite. The gunpowder spirits of the Jerrie ring appear to have taken fi re, and the world has lately received some sensible evidences of their wake (Avow. On Monday, we are informed, a superior combat took place on the glen near Arthur's Seat. The heroes were Billy Owen, a Tarp of some note,.frincipilly denominated Three-finger d Jack. and a sleek Suffolk rheese-eater, yclept Robin Rybold, both well known in the gymnastic ring. Tasy, who in his way is a bit of a blood, figured in prime tale, with straw castor, swell cravat, smart ish surtout, and shining paddees. Robin, less assuming, made his appearance in modest mole-skin, neither shaven nor shorn, but square set, squint-eyed, and altogether looking like a troublesome customer. The day was fair, but the peepers few. The bottle holders were _for the Welshman, a pot-Witd, brandy-nosed Pat 'ander ; for the Suffolk hero, a raw-boned, red-headed yahoo, in the shape of a bowlegged Highlandman. nuttily at one, both castors were heaved into the ring. On prelim: the boys looked firm rad smartish : the son of Suffolk had the weight, but the hero of Wales stood higher on the hoofs. Each seemed tierce sod eager foe tho fray. Round 1. After shaking their daddies, some manceuvring took place. Suffolk shot out • sneerer, which sprung the claret from Taffy's proboscis. Billy, however, was not slow to return, and put forth his bunch of,res with such ronartness to Robin's 'des ter nee, that he made him see double. A close, both down, Suffolk above. 2. Both cautious. Taffy queerish from his fall, but watchful ; yet nothing could stop • trenier.dous discharge upon Ins leek Trap, which made the Mork: chatter, and sent him down. Shouts for Suffolk. 3. Robin in glee, and Taffy nothing loth ; an exchange of fa roues. and after a mart rally both went down. 4. St. David for ever ! Hilly put in a right and leftar, and down went the Suffolk hero like lead. 6. All for Taffy. Robin made a manly lunge at the Welshman's bread basket, but failitig, received a whet, which set his teeth on edge and made him kiss the grass. 6. 'Billy too bold; showered his blows like wintry rain, but his man was not to be taken in, and a tremendous cross-buttock drop ped Taffy like shot. 7. Mbiin all alive& mopped a venture at his jugular in good style, and rung on the or frmttis of Taffy like a sledge-hammer ; in a clam, however, be was sent down with his right Window to free. Cookie-leekie for ever ! 8. A good round! Suffolk steady and troublesome; Taffy received an awakener on his dioArg engine, and acknowledged the favour by an immediate prostration. A cheer for the cheesernan. It. Bellows to mend with the leek-eater. Robin quite awake, and • good disciple of the hammer school. Taffy in the weds, putting out his daddlrs like the vanes of a wind-mill, bat nothing could save him from a grogifier on the ivories, which grassed him in an instant. The Calton hill to • cheese-paring on the wan of Barak. le, Taffy in better spirits, and gaining wind; both kiddies tare ful and on the look out fur an adrantsge. Robin weakish car the the pins, but hold ; flees ready, and in a close his antagonist down. Shouts for Suffollsbire. . 11. A feeble round ; many attempts, but no business half way hits that would not dent a pound of butter; a don, both down, Tally above. 12. The crisis at hand ; both troubled with the daggers. soil good hit must be decisive. Take care, Taffy. Don't be had open the lay, Sutfitlk. The star of St. David is triumphant, and down goes poor Robin with his sole peeper blocked up. Leek-land for ever 13. Suffolk furious, but blind. All for Billy, who feeling his power, let fly a double dose at Robin's puldis6r-IKog, which settled the fate of the day. Robin down like a sack. The Bank of Eng. land tea bed of leeks on Three-lingered Jack. 14. No hope for Suflblkshire ; spirit good but vigour fled; be struggled for a while against a thousand odds, till • tremendous fibber on his gar-pipe put a stop to the butchery, by felling him to the earth, where he lay like • log without sense or motion. Time being called, Tally wu proclaimed victor, and, adjusting his shat tered foggery, marched with his second to the next public house to tent. -.- Pao CID/ NTI Al. EIC•PE.—About nine o'clock on Sun day night. as a gentleman's carriage was driving towards the Strand, from 'Waterloo-bridge, the horses stopped of a sudden, and the coachman was thrown (4 his box.
