No sooner did it become publicly known that a meeting was to be held in this town for the purpose of considering the propriety of supporting his Majesty' s Government in the execution of the cautious, moderate, and gradual measures proposed and adopted by the House of Commons respecting the condition of the Slave Population of his Majesty's colonies, than a considerable bustle in the town and neighbourhood was the consequence ; and it was very soon understood that a warm opposition would be raked to the pass ing of any resolutions which should have the effect of strength ening the Government in the policy which they adopt for the melioration of the slave population in the West Indies. This produced increased activity on the part of the requisitionists, and a handbill was quickly put into circulation, containing a summary of the statements in a pamphlet by the Right Hon. Sir G. H. Rose; (who is himself a proprietor of slaves,) on the want of moral and religious instruction among the slaves, and on the absence of the institution of marriage. From this bill it appears that the number of slaves in the British West Indian settlements is about 730,000 ; of which only about 100,000 have, or are likely to receive religious in struction. " The unconverted 630,000," says Sir G. Rose, " are plunged into the most stupid ignorance, in various spe cies of gross idolatry, and in brutal and scandalous vices, of which, even Western Africa never afforded to her sons the means, nor suggested to them the idea ; and which they had never known, had they not been the bondmen of Christians V* After showing the almost total absence of the institution of marriage among the slaves, Sir 0. Rose says, " that more than a century and a half of the rule of a Christian Pro testant people has, under the broad light of day, produced a fearful mass of polygamy, concubinage, and promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, and their inevitable and vroful con sequences. If we would any other proof than that which revelation and the experience of ages afford us, that the law of wedlock is written indelibly in our hearts and in our nature, we should at once derive it from this strange and appalling fact, that, in the West Indies, a healthy popula tion, well-clothed, well-fed, and in general not overworked, is on the decrease; - while the slaves who inhabit the low, woody, swampy shores of the coast of Virginia, multiply in as rapid a progression, as the law of our species will admit. The triennial return made in 1820, under the Slave Registry Act, compared with that of 1817, proves a decided di minution of population on the whole. There is, perhaps, no other example in the world of large bodies of men and women existing together, during long perods of time, al. most entirely without marriage. The evil originated in the Christian ! not in the Pagan. We know that in Africa, whatever be the state of polygamy, adultery is punished : the Negro therefore carried to the West Indies the know ledge of the institution of marriage, respect for its holiness, and rtt ath, the fear of pointing i t ." Thi s bill was succeeded by another, begging the friends of the proposed petition for the b the slaves, to be tatty. in their attendance at the Audit House, to meet the expected opposition. By twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning, the room was nearly full of the most re of Southampton and its neighbou r h oo d. ne, M.P. arrived soon after twelv e . Th ere re spectable C a ec sa ta is lbh o lae li mi r nbr present, the R e v. Hugh Hill, D.D., the Rev.T.Mears, the Rev. R. Heath, t h e R ev. M r. Gray, he Rev. S. S utton , the Rev. T. Adkins, Rev.

Dottin, Esq., Dr. Lindoe, Dr. Shadwell, Dr. Hackett, G. Atherley, Esq., &c. About half-past twelve o'clock, R. ELDRIDGE, Esq., the Mayor, was called to the Chair, after which the requisition was read by Mr. Ridding, the town clerk. Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE then, in a tone of voice which pre vented our hearing him, made a few observations. When we could catch the sown: of his voice, he was stating, that in the last session of Parliament, Resolutions were proposed to the house of Commons by Mr. Buxton, the first of which stated, that the state of slavery is repugnant to the principles of the British Constitution, and of the Christian religion, and that it ought to be gradually abolished throughout the British colonies. with as much expedition as may be found consistent with a due regard to the well-being of the parties concerned. The other resolutions then went to pledge the House to sonic early measures. In the house, however, there appeared to be a general feeling that the question should not then be pressed, and that it would be sufficient to confine itself to a elechira tion to take the state of the slaves , into consideration w i t h out pledging themselves to any specific measure. It was under these circumstances that Mr. Canning proposed his resolu tions. These resolutions he would propose to the present meeting : they would have the effect of strengthening the hands of government, and keep them up to the pledge which they hail given. [The uproar which was sere raised, rendered it difficult to catch the wishes of the many speakers. There was a general cry of question,' and we understood some gentlemen to object to the right of moving any resolutions ; Mr. Chem berlayne contended that he had the right, and on the reso lutions would be founded a petition. In the midst of this confusion, J, Tucker, Esq., said that a letter which he had in his possession would throw much light on the subject, and, he thought, prevent any further argument : he begged that it might be read. This was not acceded to.] Order being in some measure restored, Mr. CIi&IIIIERLAYNE said, the resolutions which he meant to propose were so moderate, so just, that he did not think any opposition would be made to the passing of them. These re solutions had been proposed by Mr. Canning, and adopted unanimously by the House of Commons.—(No, no.)—l say, unanimously, for no hind was held up against them ; no one objected to them. They ntet with the approbation of all par ties.—(Great confusion)—These resolutions, however, had been opposed by the island assemblies—these bodies had set them selves in array against the giving them any effect.' Their con duct had bordered on high treason.— ( Great uproar.)— Under such circumstances; it was the duty of the people of England to come forward and sanction _them by their voices. They ought to support and thank Government for taking the state of the slaves into consideration. Lord Bathurst states that Go vernmeut are determined to act up to the pledge which they have given, and he (Mr. C.) . entertained that opinion of his Majesty's Ministers, that they were sincere in • their conduct, and that they would do their duty. They ought, however, to be warmly supported by the people. Government was en titled to the best thanks of 'the country, that they did not suffer themselves to be intimidated by the menaces of the interested, and the enemies to the melioration of the condition of the slaves. Mr. Chamberlayne then moved the following Resolutions !and Petition ; but as the right of moving any resolutions was de nied, the petition only was read. _ . . Itesolved,—That the following resolutions having been im posed by the Right Hon. G. Canning to the House of Commons, in the last Session of Parliamenf,''and having been unanimously adopted, namely,,-- 1. That it is expedient to adopt effectual and decisive mea sures fur ameliorating the condition of the Slave Population in his 31 aj es t y Colonies; 2. That through a determined and persevering,. but judicious and temperate enforcement of such measures, this house leaks forward to a progressive improvement in the char a ct e r of the Slave Population, such as may prepare them for a participation in those civil rights and privileges which are enjoyed by other classes of his Majesty's subjects ; . • 3:.

Mr. Buaaan seconded the resolutions. He would not de tain the meeting. There were two grounds, on which he was bound in conscience to support these resolutions. On . these points he had authority to which no objection could be made ; that of a gentleman who is himself a planter, ard who had. stated them to the public; both in his place in Parliament, and in a pamphlet since published. The first of these grounds was the fact, that among 639,00 of the slaves, there was no Chris tian instruction of any sort.--(Loud hisses.)—H e was perfectly ready to stand any quantity of hissir.g that might be directed against his attachment to the Christian religion. The second of these grounds was the fact, that among these same slaves the institution of marriage was unknown. Since he came into that room, he had heard the word nonsense applied to the very men tion of marriage among the slaves. He hoped no one was pre pared deliberately to apply that term to an institution which was net less sanctioned by revealed religion, than by the con sent of all civilized nations, and by the voice of nature in . the invariable proportion of the sexes. F. L. BECKFORD, Esq. said the question was wh e th er we should le a v e th e state o f the slaves in the hands of Govern ment, or by a blind and misguided zeal hasten their emanci pation before they are fit for freedom, and thereby . lose the grhandnttinhgeyeinusaednciptoatisohnowto tthheatsiaanveYs_godppwlsouu(sloedraehratte Colonies. He did not mean to impute any improper motives to those persons who had signed the requisition for the present meeting, but their conduct was highly injudiCious. It was most extraordinary, too, that this requisition was 'priniipally signed by those who were ever found to be in apposition to his Majesty's Government; and that they should . now - come forward with their gratuitous, uncalled fur, and unsolicited support, excited his utmost astonishment. Not one argtiment -.. os s t i se e f s r ..) ) o He was not now prepared to enter -into the abstract - question but he declared to Ged that no man more detested - alavery than he did. Respecting the condition of the slaves,. however, as a magistrate of a very extensive district in • this county he declared before God—that they were better fed, clothed, and less worked, than the English peasantry.— Their state altogether was tar better than that of the poor in this country.—(Hear, hear, hear ! and groans.)— Much had been said about the cruelty which was exercised among the slaves ; but a gentleman of the strictest honour—a Lieutenant -General in his Majesty's service, and who had been for eight yea rs , Governor of two West India Islands—had assured him that he never knew but two instances of cruelty, and those (much to his praise) he had punished.—[ Gen. Hodson, the gentleman referred to, said that this was a fact.]—lf the measure of amen cipation were carried, it would be at the expence of the colo nies, and every man who held prope r ty i n t h em wou ld b e to tally ruined. In conclusion, Il7r. Beckford deprecated any fur ther agitation of this delicate question, aid thought 'that it would .be much, better left- entirely in the hands of the Le gislature and Government. Ile theb tititftie4" ale . following Resolution : • Resolved,_That this meeting, trusting to the wisdom of ou: Legislature, and having before bur eyes the recent insurrection at Demerara, and the present disturbed state of our - West India Colonies, considers the further discussion of the delicate question of Negro improvement and emancipation as prema ture, unwise, dangerous, and impoliti c . Tine Rev. T. ADKINS addressed the meeting amidst much confusion and uproar. He condemned slavery in very' strong terms, and said he opposed it as a man, as a Briton, and as a Christian minister. I'he -Rev. Gentleman was about to make some observations on :a pamphlet by a P.O. - Mr. Bridges, rector of the parish of Manchester in Jamaica, - which had been put into his hands by Mr. Beckford, as a full answer to all that had been said against the state of slavery in the West Indies, but he was prevented by the deafiniag shouts which were' set up by those-who had all along Manifested a strong dislike to all discussion. Mr. Adkins said he would prove from the pamphlet itself, that it was full of mis-statement s a nd falsehood ; but he could taut obtain a hearing ; some crying '" question," and others calling out " bear him," " let every one have a fair hearing." From the circumstance of the Gentle man whose evidence was impugned = being a clergyman of the Church of England, Mr. Shapcott inferred that this was a de signed attack upon the Reverend Body of which Mr. Bridges was a member, and made an observation to that effect. This design, however, Mr. Adkins totally disclaimed, and endea voured to proceed. •. Mr. TUCKER again urged that his letter should be read.— He was sure it would save much discussion. When The Rev. Mr. Anazxs could again be heard he said ha saw that there was no disposition to discuss the question,' and in the absence of all those courtesies which as gentlemen 'and as neighbours they ought to exercise towards each other,- he:had no wish to press himself on their attention ; he had. Other means to make his sentiments known to the public. Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE at some length repelled the impute. dons which had been cast on his motives, and declared that he had ever acted independently, and would continue to do - so. It was true he was generally opposed to the measures of govern ment, but he had on many trying occasions given them: his best support, and which th e y s h ou ld always have: when he could give it conscientiously. Some ()Utile opposite party had done him the 'honour to call nim an enthusiast; some a rankle ; and some had even compl ete d t h e c li max, by callrag him a dupe of fanatics and a saint. These accusations had led him Co examine a • little into himself, and the consequences' of the examination had been, that- Ile had convineed•himself that he had less-enthusiasm in his composition than he.h.scl eve r sus pected before. [We very much regret that we are unable to give a better 'report of Mr. Chaniberlayne's reply,' Which, was in his best vein of irony and sarcasm, arid 'which , a l so contained some be aut if u l o b servat i ons on he .general ques tion : the confusion and uproar which prevailed must be our excuse.] Mr. liEctronn explained, and said that he had used his best exertions to insure the return of Mr. Chamberlayne s and he would do so again; for he belieVed hini*to - be, without excep tion the most independent man ever returned to Parliament. lie had never but once' asked -a favour of Mr. Charnberloyne, and then he refused him. Was not this a proof of his:inde pendence ? and he had now sighed a requisition for this Meet,. ing, which if it should sanction 'the proposed petition would KO farto ruin him and his family. lie again urged the - Meeting to reject the petition, and pass his, resolution. The Mayor now put the question on the amendment, each party taking opposite sides- of the room: The Mayor 'declared that the amendment was carried ; upon which a shotiting;twav ing of hats, and groaning, took place. The Mayor was reerest ed to have the numbers counted, as the diVision appeared to be very equal, but this he declined, stating -that he was certain the majority was for Mr. Beckford. Mr. Beckford now mounted the table, and as Klan as silence was obtained returned his, side of the room, his warm thanks. • The Mayor having left the chair, it was Itesolved,—'rhat the thanks of this meeting be given to Right Worshipful the Mayer, for his able and impartial 4.41 n - duet in the than.; and that he be requested to sign the above Resolution. • The conquering party quickly left the room, and Mr. Bul ler proposed that the friends'of the negrots shinild give their thanks to Mr. Chemberlayne 'for , hissgreat exertions ete this occasion. .He stated that Mr. C. was labouring undo'. aft al fection of the lungs; and had, come out to-day ;o phe,iiine rt ; of his life. I The motion' was earned with acclamation, Chambetlayne returned thanks, stating thataneat to the ripen_ bation of his own conscience , the approbatiois of his tonnitibisesta was his greatest reward..-:( ,y ScassAanspten Cgs my Ch e er * Jon.-34.) - • • •
