John Burnett, Josiah Forster, Esq., John Barton, Esq., Chevalier Dillon, Dr. Ernest Dieffenbach, Colonel Jackson, Edward Backhouse, Esq., Mrs. Samuel Gurney, Mrs. Amelia Opie, and several other ladies of distinction. The Chair having been taken, shortly after one o'clock, by F. HODGKIN, Esq., M.D., the " Father of the Society," the Secretary read the following REPORT. " The Aborigines' Protection Society are again met in receive from their Committee a retrospective statement of a year's exertions. Your Commttee are painfully sensible that the Society has not attained to that magni tude and importance, or achieved those results which, doubtless, their early friends, who five years since met to receive their first annual report, might reasonably antici. pate, when advocating so interesting and important a cause, and appealing to a public at once enlightened and benevolent. They are, nevertheless, encouraged to hope that their constituents and the public will regard with favourable indulgence the exertions of the past year. From necessity and not from choice, their labours have been proportioned to the smallness of their resourens, rather than to the magnitude, and interest, and neces sities of their cause, yet in hopeful confidence they come before you, trusting that the continuance of your interest, and the increasing support of the public, may enable their successors so to conduct the operations of the So ciety, that it may more nearly realize the hopes and wishes of its founders. You will perceive from the ab stract of occurrences which this report contains, that the past year, like its predecessors, has been fruitful in events of great importance to the existence of' that portion of the human race, in accordance with custom, rather than with strict propriety, comprehended in the term Aborigines. "It might naturally bo supposed that the exalted position which man holds as the highest and noblest of living creatures, would render an accurate knowledge of the varieties into which his species is divided, a most legiti mate and interesting object of research ; yet so little does this view of the subject engage attention, that it, may safely be said, that man is less generally and mi nutely studied than many of the groups of inferior ani mals, whether they are numbered amongst the living inhabitants of the globe, or are only known through th , se organic remains which are scattered beneath its surface. " Important as the study of man must confessedly be, as the highest object of natural history, the subject be comes far higher and more important, when we seek, through its assistance, to trace out those families, into which Sacred Record informs us that the decendants of our first parents have been divided in their diffusion over the surface of the terraqueous globe. How few are there who most confidently believe in the common origin of mankind, who can form any accurate idea of the divi sions and combinations of tribes which have taken place, and how little has been done to prove, by the incontest able evidence of living witnesses, that the doubts of the sceptic in this respect are manifestly groundless. Some idea of the kind of interest connected with this inquiry may be formed, if we take as an illustration the attention which has been paid to any feasible inquiry as to what is become of the lost tribes of the children of Israel. Almost every branch of our great family is precisely in the same state, and we must despair of arriving at any satisfactory solution, if we allow tribe after tribe to be sacrificed to our cupidity. " Your Society do not limit themselves to a particular portion of the globe, because from all quarters, in which civilised and uncivilised men are brought into contact, they may derive those facts which serve to prove the aggressive character of the former, and to engage the most attentive interest, and call forth the strongest sympathy on behalf of the latter. " At the meeting of the Society last year, the most gratifying announcement the Committee had to make related to Western Australia, where a colony had been founded, under the auspices of the Western Australian Company, consisting of London merchants and eapital ists, who gave assurances that they would surpass all their predecessors in their efforts to benefit rather than injure the natives of the soil which they proposed to ap propriate; nor could a stronger proof of the merits of their assurances have been given than the fact, that the Company offered, if sanctioned by Government, to send out a Commissioner nominated by your Society, for the express purpose of making himself thoroughly acquainted with the natives and their territory; in order to frame on the spot measures cal culated to secure their existence and well-being in peaceful alliance with their new neighbours. The most gratifying encouragement, and fullest co-operation was given at the Colonial-office, and your Committee had the satisfaction of securing a Commissioner who raised their hopes in proportion to their entire confidence in his qualifications for the task assigned him. It is not for this Committee to dive into or judge of the reasons which led the Directors of the Company to decline car rying out their proposal when preparations were so far completed. But the Committee would not be doing jus tice to themselves if they omitted to state that they did not relinquish their hopes of success until much time and careful attention had been devoted to the subject. " AMERICA. " With regard to the Aborigines of British possessions in North America, your Committee regrets the defi ciency of documentary evidence, and the want of in formation bearing on those people. ' " The little remnant of Micmacs, cut off from com munication with kindred tribes, and leading a semi civilized life, on a greatly restricted and inadequate ter ritory, have sought, by the personal application of a deputation from their number, relief at the hands of the Colonial Department of the mother country ; and your Committee feel unfeigned pleasure in stating that the re ception with which those Indians were favoured by the present head of that department, Lord Stanley, warrants the hope that the petition will not have been heard in vain. Through the kind attention of the Rev. Egerton Ryeson, the Editor of the Christian Guardian, your Committee have received repeated accounts of the suc cessful operations of missions in isolated Indian villages. The Mohawk children are advancing in school educa tion, and the converts to Christianity in the Credit, Rice Lake, and Muncey settlements, maintain their improved character with respect to temperance, and are advancing in agriculture and domestic comfort—facts which esta blish the feasibility of those reforms in regard to the treatment of the Indian population of our North Ame rican provinces, for which this Society has perseveringly pleaded. " The difficulties which for some time continued to exist in the arrangements with the Cherokees, subse quently to their removal, have, it appears, been satis factorily terminated ; and private accounts from IVashin- ton announce that the enlightened chief John Ross had received the payment of many thousand dollars due to his tribe. " The Chippewa chief, Hesh-ton-i-quet, who formerly resided within the Canadian frontier, and has often been mentioned in the publications of your SoCie!y, states in a recent letter, that the payment of his land is still with held, though ordered, nearly two years since, by the authorities at Washington. The natural consequence of this delay has been greatly to discourage the efforts of the chief and his companions, who have been subjected to insurmo stock an d seed. I :aitable difficulties in the want of i m pl ements "The Indians of Guiana next demand attention, to which they have a stronger claim from this Society, as they are numbered amongst British subjects. It was announced in last year's Report that the accomplished traveller, and much esteemed honorary member of this Society, R. H. Schomburgk, was actually engaged in the service of the British Government for the settlement of that disputed boundary, the uncertainty of which ex posed the Indians residing upon it, to the kidnap ping incursions of Brazilian slave-dealers. From accounts received, it appears that the Commissioner has diligently proceeded with his task, yet, from unexplained causes, the British Government has thought it right not to maintain the boundary as defined by him. The kidnappers are consequently still zit li berty to enjoy the benefits of that uncertainty which it is so much their interest to-gee perpetuated; and there is reason to fear that the simile long since employed 6y an acute American Indian, may be applicable to the Indians of Guiana, namely, that the English and their rivals are like the blades of a pair of scissors, which are brought together in apparent opposition, whilst the poor Indians are like a piece of paper placed between them, which re ceives all the mischief. Mr. Schomburgk while engaged in his official duties, has not been unmindful of his In dian friends, and has exerted himself to save from con demnation a native youth, supposed to have forfeited his life by conforming to the customs of his tribe, in opposi tion to British laws, of which he could have no knowledge. "It becomes the painful duty of your Committee to state, in relation to the Indians of South America, that the proceedings of the remarkable Botocudo Indian Chid, Guido Poerane, have not been such as to realise the pleasing anticipations which the accounts published in a former year were calculated to excite. " A UST RAL ASIA. " In the district of New Soutb Wales, ;:ne settler's on the rivers Ovens, Hume, and Clarence„ have more or less suffered in the loss of cattle and sheep speared by the natives, and in addition, at tho latter locality, two set tlers have been murdered while, on the other hand, about twenty of the natives have been killed by a pp.rty of mounted police, under the command of Major Henry Oakes ; and for the murder of Mr. Stapleton and his servant, at Moreton Bay, two natives, named Merridio and Neugevil, have paid the forfeit of their lives one the scaffold. A settler at New England has had 1,200 sheep slaughtered, besides aoo driven into the bush, and his shepherd murdered. • " In the vicinity of Port Phillip, a settler and his ser vant have been murdered by the natives. " In the neighbourhood of South Australia, 800 sheep have been carried off from one station, and a shepherd severely wounded ; and from another 900 sheep, 'and the shepherd killed. But the most deplorable accounts of all, are the impediments thrown in the way of trans portinc, cattle and sheep over land from Sydney to Adelaide. Vast destructiotr of property and loss of life, both on the part of the Europeans and natives, has taken place,—calamities, however, which have fallen most heavily on the latter people, being in the proportion of more than forty to one. " In Western Australia, in consequence of a murder having been committed on a settler by some person; or persons unknown, an attempt was made to capture a tribe of blacks on suspicion, and, as they resisted, five of them were shot. While government and goverbrs therefore, whose duty it is to watch with equal anxious solicitude, the Aborigines and the colonists, are regard less of that duty, the assumed and the real proprietors of the soil, or in other words, the colonists and the natives, are waging wars, if not of extermination, of utter ruin to one or other of the parties--wars which, if justifiable, as defensive on the part of the natives, on. that of the colonists, are not only unjust, but decidedly unchristian. '‘ TASMANIA. " It is always with heartfelt ;rrow that your Com mittee allude to the natives of Van Diemen's Land. The poor remnant of that race, amounting now only to fifty seven souls, are still imprisoned—for an imprisonment it must be considered—on Flinder's Island. A year or tivo more, and they will be among the extinct nations. It will then be impossible for the reflecting mind to turn from the page which records their history, without being strongly impressed with the feeling, that a barbarous race have been consigned to a premature grave, by a nation, rendered the more criminal, because they epic'!" ' the blessings of Christianity. " NEW ZEALAND. " Your Committee feel convinced, from the impartial and accurate information they have received, that if ever a nation of barbarians could be rescued from their own helpless situation, and from the baneful influence of colo nization, and be destined to contradict the fallacious dogma of the necessary extermination of coloured men by European settlement, the New Zealanders are that nation • a result your Committ ee es p ec i a ll y ant i c i pate , from the fact, that the New Zealanders are an agricultural people, and accustomed to fixed habitations. But they are, at the same time perfectly aware, that this advan tage over other barbarous races is of no avail, if a sufficiency of land is not secured to them, on a uniform principle of reserves, alike applicable to the lands of the Government, of the New Zealand Land Company, and of private purchasers. As the most vital point therefore in future legislation, must be regarded that of the n a ti ve territorial rights. No act of the Legislature has as yet appeared, setting forth the intentions of Government re garding native reserves in the districts purchased by the local government of New Zealand. " The appointment of Mr. Halswell as a Commissioner of native lands by the New Zealand Company, has not produced the expected beneficial result, for on the arrival of that gentleman in New Zealand, he was restricted to Port Nicholson, and to a nominal situation, as sub-pro tector of that district, under the orders of Mr. Clark, the chief-protector, appointed by Governor Hobson. " AFRICA. " That large corner of the African continent which forms the British colony of the Cape, is in itself an Eng land beyond th e seas , an d the dwellers in Caffraria are among the most important of 'the aboriginal nations of the earth. To them especial attention is therefore In the last year's Report your Committee had to treat of the Caffre contracts with the Governor, who met the chiefs for the especial purpose of modifying the treaties, so that Colonist and Caffre might find them useful, and consider them as binding. Almost monthly accounts have been received from the colony, yet scarcely one authenticated case throughout the year of actual aggres. Sion on the part of the Caffres, nor of any infraction of the treaties on either side has occurred. " In performing the last act of their official duties in concluding this Report, your Committee desire very closely but respectfully to press upon your consideration the state of the great cause in which you are engaged, as sketched in the Report, and the very weak and low condition of your Society in relation to it. Whilst such a Society attests the existence of acknowledged evils, it seems to behove us all in good earnest to make efforts for their correction. The work is confessedly difficult, but it must not be regarded as impracticable, when as yet no effort has been made from which any signal success could reasonably be anticipated. Noble acts have indeed been performed, but they have unhappily been isolated, and consequently almost fruitless. May your counte nance and support be given to future Committees, in such a manner as to strengthen their hands, and inspire in creasing zeal and energy. They then may reasonably hope to diffuse knowledge and right feeling amongst their countrymen, and they may plead with success when they pray that the Government, amidst numerous . and pressing cares, may deem it worthy' of its notice, to, legislate for a just and systematic conduct toWards the: Aborigines of our colonies- 7 a work which - would be no • less honourable to those engaged in it, than cheering , to the friends of humanity, and fraught with blessings to I the feeble races of man." Dr. GARNIER then moved, " That the Report now produced be printed, under the direction of the Com mittee." A. B. WRIGHT, Esq., briefly seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. J. BURNETT then moved the following resolution :—" That this Society, whilst gratefully acknowledging the adoption of various measures for the protection of the Aborigines, on the part of the Government, cannot be insensible to the fact—that their claims, and the necessity of strenuous interpo sition for their preservation and improvement, remain unabated, and feels most anxious that there may be no remission in efforts in their behalf, until, as res pects this country at least, an improved system shall have been adopted, by which, in the British Colonies and their vicinity, the Aborigines may fully partici pate in the protection and privileges of British law, and the fostering care of the mother country." He was persuaded that the real objects of the Society were not understood by the public in general ; if they were the public would feel at not having given it greater support. The Society had been formed for protection of the Aborigines all over the world, and surely that object ought to excite kind and generous sympathy. It was impossible to make any progress in discovery without coming into contact with the native population ; and it was impossible to proceed in our researches without either being affiliated to them, or else resorting to the most deadly warfare.— (Hear, hear.) It had often been regretted that we possess no better knowledge of the natives of the inte rior of South America and of New Holland. If the natives knew what they had too much reason to ex pect from us, they would rejoice at our not having penetrated their fastnesses.—(Hear, hear.) It was said that they were barbarians. Admitting the fact, it formed no reason why we should take away their lives ' • but as we had found means of en t ra pping their lions and tigers, and wolves and hyaenas, so let us now find some means of attaching them to our selves by kind and generous treatment. He was ashamed to be obliged to admit that his country had I not been the schoolmaster of the aboriginal tribes of 1 the world, but their executioner.—(Hear, hear.) He , pointed out that, with respect to improvements, it was Useless to look te.the Government for th e i n iti a ti ve . In`alr perio ds of history Governments were never found commencing any course of improvement, or aiding it, till the people forced it upon them. It was not to the Government that they must look for com mencing any work to save the Aborigines of the world from ruin. It had not supported the measures that had been recommended by this Society, and why r because the public was not sufficiently alive to the im portance of the subject, and if they went to the Go vernment without backers they would get very little there. He urged on all the necessity of supporting, this Society, on the ground that those who did not do all in their power to prevent great evils must be held, to be in part guilty of those ev il s . H e s h owe d that by -introducing civilization, among the Aborigines,, this country would be benefited, from the demand that would spring up for our manufactures, while the native trib es wou ld a l so b ecome valuable producers of commodities which this country consumed. Having dwelt feelingly on the blessings that would follow from,the world living in a state of universal brother hood, he noticed the objection that had been made, that civilization could not be introduced, if the efforts for that end were separated from the introduction of Christianity, and observed, that there was an impres sion that this attempt would fail, as all others had done. In this there were many errors. He denied that the attempts to civilize barbarous tribes had failed, because the introduction of Christianity was not associated with the labour, but because the public. did not sufficiently enter into the importance of those labours. This Society was one for interposing between their own people and the Aborigines of the earth, when engaged in deadly conflict, and prevented them from destroying each other. It was a peace making :society -- a police society, if they liked, for the whole world.—(Hear, hear.) 'Was there any one who would not assist in the efforts of such a Society ? If the Government could be told that the great hill up stairs had been crowded with a meeting, feeling a strong and holy indignation at the injuries inflicted on the Aborigines of the earth, they would find that a measure would soon be laid before Parliament on the subject. The Government would then take the initiative in formal legislation, but the initiative would really have been with the public. To accosos s lish their ends, a statement of the facts and principles connected with the subject was necessary, and this could only be done by meetings, not in Lon don only, but in all parts of the kingdom. They wanted a grand general movement on the question, but how could they ' get this with out funds ? The Society was left without funds and could not act; it could not tell upon the com munity—it had not the means of reaching the ear of the public at large. Let the meeting help it, then in its future stru gg l es , t a ki ng this consideration with:. them, that in the present state of this country emigra tion must increase; and if this must be the case—if they must create new empires in the east and west, let them not be as they had hitherto been —empires founded in blood, 'and consecrated by murder.— (Cheers.) Sad ! sad, was the, history of British colo nisation-. The history of no community exhibited evils more frightf u l th an th e hi story of British emi gration, if faithfully given. Let them make it., then, in future, a work, not of danger, but of peace —not of invasion of foreign tribes and people, but of amal gamation with them—not of attempts to plant our feet on the necks of those feebler than themselves, but of becoming acquainted with to whom we may be useful, and who may be useful to ourse l ves. L et them make th e wor k of emigration so pure, so moral, so hallowed, so just, so sternly honourable, that no one need either be afraid or ashamed of the name of emigrant. lie concluded by enforcing the necessity Of egrryingsnat the plans of the Society with regard to all the countries mentioned in the Report. W. GORE 0 USELY, Esq. (late Charge d'Affaires at Brazil), seconded the resolution. He said, in seconding this resolution, I avail myself of the opportunity of expressing, as a new member of this Association, the high opinion which I entertain of its praiseworthy objects, and the extreme satisfaction with which I perceive that its efforts have not been useless in. call ing attention in this country to the duty of affording to numerous aboriginal races of mankind that protec tion to which they have now a just claim from I Great Britain. My o pi n i ons have, am well aware, no other weight than that which may be Billowed on the score of personal experience, and an observa tion of several years, both in North and South Aine rice. That experience goes to prove that without now referring to those great principles of justice and be nevolence upon which this Society is founded, the best policy for our Colonists to pursrie, is that of ob servance, not only of strict equity, hut of the greatest forbearance 'towards the native tribes with whom they may be in contact. lam convinced, from what have-seen, that well-directed and supported efforts to conciliate, civilize, and render them useful allies, in stead of bitter enemies, will. never be made uselessly; It is with regret, also, that I have observed, that in almost every instance of asserted aggression or out rage on the part of native tribes, or wherever an apparent character of determined hostility or fero city has been exhibited by them, it could be traced to wrongs inflicted, in the first instance, on: the part of the white man, or a violation of all jus tice and a denial of rights evinced towards them by more civilized communities. One of the permanent and necessary characteristics of this Society, which formed an additional inducement in my own case for be ing desirous of the honour of belonging to it, is the total absence of all political party spirit or bias tin its object and composition ; still it may be allowable to express. the deep feeling of satisfaction with which I have seen the late declaration of the distinguished Minister who presides over the Colonial Department of her Majesty's Government, that attempts such as that lately made at Natal, in the neighbourhood of the Cape of Good Hope, will not be allowed to succeed. I may also be permitted to feel and express some self-gratulation that the form of Govern ment under which we have the advantage of living enables that Government (possessing, as it does, the greatest and most important colonial empire that the world ever saw,) to interfere effectually whenever necessary, for the protection of those aboriginal possessors of the territories that our Government now occupies, from the interested and short-sighted op pression exercised towards them by its own subjects. I trust that the efforts of this Society may become. practically ancillary to the just and humane policy adopted by her Majesty's Government towards the numerous aboriginal tribes under its protection. H. TINDAL ATKINSON, Esq., seconded the resolution, in an animated and eloquent address. He could not conceal from himself that humanity must shudder on perusing the " History of Colonization." The first step taken on the settlement in Van Diemen's Land was to slaughter men, `women, and children. The history of the unfortunate people in South Africa would ever be a stain upon the policy of England. The Boers had come out, they had much to answer for, their path was tracked with blood, and they had recklessly sacrificed human life. It had been said, what had Government done in the initiative for the improvement of the people ? liie answered, nothing ; they had left the whole to the people.—(Cheers.) He trusted that the public would rally round insti tutions like the present, and in that hope he would most cordially support the resolution. The resolution was then put by the CHAIRMAN, and declared to be carried unanimously. Sir C. E. SMITH moved the next resolution " That this Society recognises the great importance of investigating and recording facts connected with:the pre sent moral and physical condition of the uncivilised races of man, with a view to the elucidation of their origin, and the adaptation of suitable measures for the introduc tion of the arts of civilised life and intellectual culture, as offering the most availing means of arresting the pro gress of evil, and aiding in the introduction of the bles sings of Christianity." He believed that nothing but Christianity would arm that Society with success, and it was therefore their duty to extend its principles as much as possible. DANIEL LISTER, Esq., seconded, the resolution. The great object of the meeting was to get rid of the difficulties that attended the colonisation of other countries, which he believed was only to. be effected by the introduction of Christianity. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and declared to be carried unanimously. The SECRETARY, in announcing that Mr. Tooke, Esq., would move the next resolution, stated that that gentleman had, since entering the room, sub scribed two guineas to the funds of the Society. Mr. TOOKE then came forward and said that he had not. intended that the latter part of the informa tion should have been communicated to the meeting. He had been a pleased and an instructed auditor of their proceedings, and felt as they all must have felt, that their best thanks were due to their Chairman for the zeal and ability which he had ever displayed in promoting. the interests of the Society.—(Cheers.) There could be no _doubt but that his endeavours must be ultimately successful. Dr. Hodgkin would enrol his name on that small Fist of practical philan thropists, to whom w a s d u e the credit of having ori ginated great designs.—(Loud cheers.) Th e H on. Gentleman concluded by moving the th an k s o f the meeting to Dr. Ibdgkin for his able conduct in the Chair. LI NsTANT , of Hayti, seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. The c.ompliment having been acknowledged by Dr. Honce_aN, the meeting separated. - - - THE cONFLAGRATIOX AT HAMBURG H.—The Queen, ith tier usual sympathy and feeling for the sufferings of the distressed, has ordered 2001. to be transmitted by Messrs. Coutts and Co. in aid of the fund for the relief of the Ilatuburghers deprived of their homes and all they possessed by the recent calamitous fire. Prince Albert has sent 100/, for the same benevolent object.
