IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS have been introduced into t he practice of Life Assurance by this Company, and the follow ing are some of its distinguishing and important features, w hich have been introduced after mature deliberation. They twill be most conveniently pointed out by referring to Policies, IA divided into two great Classes —FAMILY PROVISIO: Z POLICIES, and MONEY TRANSAUTION POLICIES. FAMILY PROVISIOs' POLICIES.— In the well founded belay f that Life A3SU irance business is profitable, per sons making ; provisions for tl teir families and contemplating a long duratio n of time betwee tt the date of the Policy and the claim to arl se under it, generally prefer Assurances which may carry with them a right to pa rticipate in the profits to be re alised by 't.The Company during ; the currency of their Policies. By the .0 teed of Constitution 'of this Company, the participa ting Asst ired are entitled to tb e Whole of the Mutual Profits, rs if they h ad been Assured in a purely Mutual Society ; asid they have, at the same time, the security not only of the funds of the (2ompany, arising f rorr the accumulated premiums, but also the proprietaryfunds radl subscribed capital of the Com pany. To the Sharehold-s .are alloted ONLY those profits which are realised by tbir.'A i ii a itment of their own paid capital, and from the r , xcess of the pr.;emiums derived from the not.- participating A-ssiAraaces. rhis mode of Division and Profits, se adv intageous se, the Aster rd of the Participating Class, is adopted only by *tit , Company. MONEY I R ANSACTION POLICIES.—An acquain tance with the records of the i 7,ourts of Law and Equity, proves that consideral gle changes we re required in the practice and rules of Life Offices, to liender this class of Policies valid and nu' sap eachable doe umants of security, which no foreseen circ amst ances or fut:ure accidents could invalidate. This Company has endeavoured, and they think successfully, to render tt Rolicics as indefeasible and negotiable secu rities as p, c pnsistently with a ohm regard to the safety of the contracting pl.! ties; and to effect this object, the Company has introduced the' following clause into their Deed of Settle ment : Cl ,use 78.—" ' That every Policy issucd by the Company shall be indefeasible and indisputable, apd the fact of the iss'aing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of itf validity, std. it shall nut be 1 awful for the Company to delay pi t s , merrt of the money assure d thereby, on the ground of any error., mis take, or omission, b totqier important, made by or on the part of the person or pet s one Affecting the same, and that on the contrary, the amounts receivable under the same shall be paid at the time stipulate d by thv Policy, to the person entitled thereto, as if no -ucb error, reis , take, or omission had been made or discovered, unles 3 the Policy shall have been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation. In order to pro vide against the defeat of a Policy in the hands of a Credits r, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured, leaving the count' , and going beyond the prescribed limits, the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO LICIES, whereby„ on condition of receiving an extra premium, varying in amount . according to the circumstances of the ease, but fixed and det e mined at the time of i,suing the Policy, the Debtor, on wh etse Life an Assurance has been effected. is entitled logo to, or reside in any part of the world, without in. validating the Ass arance ; by vchich means the Creditor's claim is rendered c ertain. To enable a Par ty to effect an Assurance at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXI 3 ENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it at a less sacrifice the it by any other plan, a seven years' Half premium system has been introduced; and, upon comparing the following scale w it h any other which has been devised for reducing present pt. y ments, it will ho seen how much more economically a loan t ansaction can be fortified by this kind of policy than by any . other. The Half-premium system pos sesses a further advart Age over temporary Assurances, or those for a Term of Year,.: from the Assured having the option of continuing for Life tire Policy which he may have procured for a mere temporary pur Fose.

(From Anthony White. Esq., Parliament•street, one of the Council, ar.d late President of the Royal College of Surgeons. ) I can with much satisfaction recommend to the public the boot or shoe which is denominated " Impilia." Its peculiar advantages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is imper viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and constant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably adapted to tender and crippled feet from gout or other maladies. April 6, 1842. ANTHONY WHITE. (From Dr. Paris, of Dover -street, London. ) I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you have bestowed the name " Impilia." They undoubtedly p.os sets elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare merit of not creaking. 'They are, moreover, warm and dry, and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the score of health. J. A. PARTS, M.D. (From J. G. Andrews,'Esq. St. Helen's-place, one of the Coun cil, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.) 1 have worn for some time the new patent boots, called " Im pilia," with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience. April 20, 1642. J. G. ANDREWS. (From Dr. Roots, Russell-square, London. ) Dear Sir,—l have now worn for some time a pair of boots with intermediate soles, which you term " Impilia." They are admirably adapted for the ease and comfort of tender feet, and the elasticity of their tread is very pleasant. I can with con fidence recommend them for general use, while for medical men they possess the very rare advantage of nut creaking, and conseqeently are so desirable in a sick room. W. Baker, Esq., April 25, 1842. H. S. ROOTS, M. D. ( From Dr. Hodgkin, Luwer Breok-street, London. ) Having not only examined, but put to the proof of experience, tl'e patent soles invented by my friend William Baker, Mit. C. S., and termed " lmpilia," I have no hesitation in say ing ?hat they are a very decided improvement on the common method of construction. They are not only much more agreeable to the sole of the foot, but promote a warm and uni form temperature as well as freedom from damp, whether en tering from w.thout or derived from the feet. It may not be amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot, so generally inflicted by the shoemaker, should be carefully avoided. TitoNtAs HODGKIN, M.D. 30-4, 1842- ( From John C. Taunton, Esq. , M. R. C. S., 44, Hatton-garden. ) I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the intermediate soles of " Impala." They appear to me to possess advantages over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with more comfort, adapt themselves better to the form of the foot, and are impervious to wet. Joitte C.

WATKR.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium oft its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the publio that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishnaent, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " SAweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptatiost te this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the gottine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legiti , t ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointme n t in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Noloility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent rod in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and ear numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference tG its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught, of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &e., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow table on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Expor, orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. Some statistics connected with the wool production of our Colonies have been published by Air. Christopher, of the Cape trade, from which it appears, in making a ten years' comparison, that the increase in imports has been as much as 13,956,8951 b., the total amount in 1831 being 2,541.9561 b., and in 1841, 16,498,8511 b. From India, he says, we received no wool till 1833, since which period, however, it has rapidly increased from 3,7211 b. to 3,008,6641 b. The imports from the Australian settlements and New Zealand in 1831 were 2,493,3371 b., and in 1841 they had increased to 12,399,3621 h. The imports from the Cape of Good Hope in 1831 were only 47,8681 b., but in 1841 they were 1,079,9101 b. As a general result, upon the ten years' comparison, an increase of 24,5'27,6421b is shown to have taken place in our receipts of wool from all quarters of the world, the amount in 1831 having been 31,652,0201 b., and in 1841 56,179,6411 b. UTILITY OF SUGAR. While most other tastes are acquired by early habit, lung custom, and often originate in necessity or the caprice of fashion, the love of sweets is natural not only to man but to animals that are not carniverous. Fowls, reptiles, and insects seek greedily for the saccharine particles of vegetables. The American parroquet taps with its beak the maple tree to obtain its sugar ; the fly pierces for the same purpose the Turkey fig ; the bee hunts for the nectar of flowers: and our oxen fatten i n swee t p astures. S weets are among the blessings of the promised land. " I will give you a land flowing with milk and honey." When the Israelites murmured for want of bread, the Almighty gave the manna, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey: "And Moses said unto them, this is title bread which the Lord has given you to eat ; and the children of Israel did eat manna forty years." Lord Bacon observes, " There are three things in use for sweetness—sugar, honey, and manna." He adds, " Sugar was scarce known to the ancients, and in little use." We may safely conclude thet the sweetness of the cane was discovered and appreciated many ages prior to the making of sugar. The sweet cane is mentioned in the Old Testament in a manner which suggests that this kind of sweet was not altogether unknown to the ancient Jews, but that it formed a part of the costly rarities used in their religious ceremonies and sacrifices. `loses was commanded to make the holy anointing oil of pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon, and sweet calamus. The prophet Jeremiah says, " To what purpose cometh these to me, incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country." " Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with mon"v. neither bast thou filled me with the fat of thy sac atom" From these accounts it appears certain that the sugar cane has been known from the most ancient time in Asia, and that during the greatness of Rome it appears to have been imported into Europe, principally us a me dicine, and by a very circuitous channel. In the pro gress of the subsequerit ages the plant itself became known in Europe, and was cultivated in Sicily and 'in Spain previously to the discovery of America. We have already observed that sugar was first used as a medicine iu Europe, it next became a snbstitute for honey, and we are informed that before kitchen gardens became known in Europe' (which was about the year 1509), sugar was eaten with Meat to correct its putrescency. Gerard, after stating the medicinal virtues of sugar'says, "of the juice of the reede is made the most pleasant and profitable sweet, called sugar, whereof is made an infinite confections, confectures, soupes, and such like, as also praseruing, and conseruing of sun drie fruits, herbes, and flowers as roses, violets, rose mary flowers, and such like, which still retain with them the name of sugar, as sugar of roses, sugar of violet," &c. Sugar is now. scarcely deemed a luxury, even by the cottager ; habit has made it one of the necessaries of life, ant few, if any; civilized people would be content to live without it, ; for in addition to the quantity consumed at our tea-table, and in our confectionary and pastry, it forms the basis of all our made wines, is often used as a composition in our malt liquors, an d the distillers draw great quantities of spirits from it. The farmer often uses it to fatten his Christmas ox, and its use has even descended to the blacking of our shoes. Sugar, says Dr. Rush, "affords the greatest quantity of nourishment in less quantity of matter of any sub stance in nature ; of course it may be preserved in less room in our houses, and may be consumed in less time than more bulky and less nourishing aliments. It has this peculiar advantage over most kinclS of aliment, that it is not liable to have its nutritious quali ties affected by time or the weather ; hence it is preferred by the Indians in their excursions from home. They ' mix a certain quantity of maple sugar, with an equal quantity of Indian corn, dried and powdered in its milky state. This mixture is packed in little baskets, which are frequently wetted in travelling, without injuring the sugar. A few spoons ful of it mixed with half a pint of spring water, affords them a pleasant and strengthening meal." From the degree of strength and nourishment which are conveyed into animal bodies by a small bulk of sugar, it might probably be given to horses with great advan tage, when they are used in places or under circum stances which make it difficult or expensive to support them with more bulky or weighty aliment. A pound of sugar, with grass or hay, has supported the s tren g th and spirits of a horse during a whole day's labour, in one of the West India islands. A larger quantity, given alone, has fattened horses and cattle during the war before last is Hispaniola, for a period of seven months, in which the exportation of sugar and the importation of grain were prevented by the want of ships. In crop time every negro on the plantation, and every animal, even the dogs, get fat. This sufficiently prover the nourishing and healthy qualities of sugar. A vessel laden with sugar, bound from the West Indies, was becalmed in its passage for several days, during which the stock of provisions was exhausted. Some of the crew were dying of the scurvy, and the rest were threatened with a still more terrible death. In this emergency recourse was had to the sugar ; the con sequence was, the symptoms of the scurvy went oil; the c.-ew found it a wholesome and substantial aliment, and returned in good health to France. The plentiful use of sugar in diet is one of the best preventives that has ever been discovered for the diseases which are produced by worms. Nature seems to have planted a love for this aliment in all children, as if it were on purpose to defend them from those diseases. Dr. Rush knew a gentleman in Philadelphia who early adopted this opinion, and who, by indulging a large I family in the use of sugar, has preserved them all from the diseases usuallyoccasioned by worms. It was for merly alleged that the eating of sugar destroys the colour and spoils the teeth. This proves to be a mis take, for no people on earth could have finer teeth than the negroes in Jamaica. " In the West Indies," says Dr. Mosley, " the negro children, from crude vegetable diet, are much afflicted with worms. In crop time, when the canes are ripe, these children are always sucking them. Give a negro infant a piece of sugar cane to suck, and the impoverished milk of his mother is tasteless to him. This salubrious luxury soon changes his appearance ; worms are dis charged ' • his enlarged belly and joints diminish ; his emaciated limbs increase ; and if canes were always ripe he would never be disease. I have often seen old wasted scabby negroes crawl from the bottom houses, apparently half dead, in crop time, and by sucking canes all day long, would soon become strong, fat, and sleeky. The restorative power of sugar in wasted and decayed habits is recorded by several physicians in different parts of the world. I have known many persons far advanced in pulmonary consumption recovered by the juice of the sugar cane." Mr. Edwards, in his " History of the West Indies," has very justly observed that the time of crop in the sugar islands, is the season. of festivity to man and beast. So palatable, salutary, and nourishing, is the j uice of the cane, that every individual of the animal creation, drink ing freely of it, derives health and vigour from its use. The meagre and sickly amongst the negroes exhibit a surprising alteration in a few weeks after the mill is set in action. The labouring horses, oxen and mules, though almost constantly at work during this season, yet being indulged with plenty of green tops of this noble plant, and some of the scummings from the boiling-house, improve more than at any period of the year. Even the pigs and poultry fatten on the refuse. After these observations lei the virtue of sugar, we sae scarcely be surprised .it t he increased consumption of this valuable article. It pre serves the juices and sub. .tances of' fruits in all countnles and i 0 all seasons. It affords a delicious seasoning zzo many kinds of food. It is made into the most agreeable and ornamental decorations for the table, being easily made transparent and of any colour or shape, and retaining and giving taste without losing the least of its sweetness. It is useful in phar macy, foritunites with medicine and greatly removes its disagreeable flavour; it is the basis of all syrups, and may be beneficially employed -in fermenting wine. It preserves both animal and vegetable substances from pit tretliction in a much greater degree than the common alimentary salt. Animal flesh. has been preserved by sugar more than three years without taint or rottenness. —Phillips's History of Cultivated Vegetables. Sugar is very soluble in water, and is a good medium for uniting ; that fluid with oily matters. It is much used for Somestic purposes, and appears on the whole to be a valuable and wholesome article of food, the uses of which, are most probably restricted by its high price. This price, may, in a certain degree, arise from the na ture of the article and its original cost, but it is no doubt in a great measure, owing to the inhuman and waste • nil culture by slaves, and thg absurd principles of Eu ropean colonization duties, drawbacks, and bounties, which save . the effect to create unnatural monopolies, and to prevent commerce from finding its level. This is eminently the case with regard to our West India Islands and their produce.--Ure's Dictionary of Chemistry. Sugar has now become an essential part of the food of Europeans. It contains, perhaps, a greater propor tion of nourishment than any other vegetable substance, in the same - bulk. It has the advantage of most other articles of food in not being liable to be injured by tittir or by the weather. If we believe Dr. Rush, the plentif use of it is one of the best preventatives of the dises ts es occasioned by worms. It has long been supposed •,$ ) n jure the teeth, but the prejudice is now given tsp. It has the property of preserving other vegetal . .te sue b stances from putrefaction, and accordingly is often ea 1- ployed for that purpose, ci)nstituting the be,se of cm 1- serves, &c.—Thomson's Chemistry. Sugar is said to contain' more nutriment in a ki, hulk than any other substance. For this and of si er reasonssit would be a fitting article, when corn is seal c e, for feeding cattle, if Government would remit the duties .-- Purhe's ;Chemical Essays. • - • The iheatrical performers at Bath are reduced , ;-to such a state of destitution, owing to the total taw t of the season; that it has been found necesgary to ht . a play, and make an appeal to the public on their i'khaft Mr. Charles Kean was applied to on the oceasi, ,ti, b ut being unable to attend and act, as requested, lie stl t twenty pounds for their benefit. SOUTH AFRICAN WOOL. The Cape Town papers of the 22d March, which have been recently received, furnish some extraordi nary but encouraging statements respecting the pro gress of sheep cultivation in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. -We therefore gladly avail ourselves of this source to lay before our readers some facts which will show the benefits conferred on the mother country by the exertions of the colonists. At Cape Town there is an Agricultural Society, which held its annual meeting a few days previously to the paper of the 22d of March going to press, and at which a larger quantity of samples of wool was produced than on any former occasion, The year 1841 had in all respects been favourable to the wool-growers, and the advanced prices which Cape wools fetched in the London market afford sufficient proof of the fact, that wool is becoming the staple commodity of the colony. 'We will illustrate this by the followin g statistical return :—Thus, in November 1841, there were sold in London 3,492 bales of Australian wool, varying in price from 7d. to 2s. a pound weight ; 225 Van Diemen's Land wool, varying from 7fd. to 2s. per lb. ; 2,769 Port Phillip wool, averaging from 7d. to ls. 11d. per lb.; 1,619 Cape of Good Hope wool, varying from 7d. to Is. 9d. per lb.; and of other wools, from Turkey, Buenos Ayres, Germany, Spain, the East Indies, Odessa, &c., about 1,555 hales—making in all 11,693 bales, and showing that more wool is imported from the Cape, than from other countries not colonies of Britain. At that sale the buyers were numerous, and though it is a well known fact that they pay for their purchases in four , teen days, and the p er i o d o f th e year m i g h t b e con sidered inauspicious, the prices obtained by the mer chants were fully equal to those paid in the pre vious sales ; the combing wools a shade lower, the clothing, in ninny instances, higher than before, and the Cape wools were- in great demand, particu larly the fine and cleaner kinds. At the agricultural meeting at the Cape, no fewer than eleven samples *ere produced to compete for a prize cup in March last, and realised the best hopes of Britain that this colony, on its capture, some forty years ago, should be converted into a wool-growing country - Though the Dutch had been trying for a century before to -cultivate wool, the colony, in the beginning of the present century, had still been dep r i ve of this inex haustible source of prosperity. It .was British skill, and the importation of sheep from Britain, that created the great success which now attends this branch of farniing. Self-interest prompted the industrious, example compelled the old colonists to rival the new, and, lured by the advantage of gain, the walk became a race, and men of d fferent professions, officers of the army and navy, and civilians, flocked' to the Cape to enjoy the happy, quiet, and profitable pursuit or the South African wool-growing farmer. The competition now evinces the great prosperity 'of the colony, which is overcoming its difficulties, and with the indomitable perseverance of British habits, rearing that produce which is so congenial to the Cape popu lation, and which will make the Caroo fields pasture flocks whose fleeces shall warm and clothe the inhabi tants of Britain, and swell the commerce"of her manu factures to an amaunt it has not yet reached. In the April wool sales in London, when 3,622 hales Went off, there were 667 of Sydney, 1,30x3 of Van Diemen's Land, 36 of Port Philip, 839 Cape, and 772 East Indian. The Van Diemen's Land lamb realised 2s. per lb., and the Cape rivalled the Aus tralian flocks in fetching Is. 100. as its maxiintan price. Indeed, we learn from Messrs. Sirnes's Cir cular that " the improved quality and condition of some of the flocks deserve great cemmendation and the continued improvement, as ex hibi te d i n the flacksi of the new clip„ sold in the April sales, give an assurance that the buyers will not be .dis appointed in the ultimate proofs of these TlE4scriptions." During 1841, the quantity of wool produced and exported from the Cape was 1,059,4481hva1ne to the grower, 51,656/., and this quantity will' be an nually increasing; but fifty-one thousanasix hundred and fifty-six pounds sterling was received for wool alone. • There are 140,000 inhabitants in Cape Town and the colony, consuming five sheep a year ; 700,000 sheep will b:; annually slaughtered, yielding - to the fitriner about six shilling's a head, or about 210,000/. Thus, then, the s h ee p- wa lk s o f t hi s inte resting colony I:ring in to the wool-growers a total of 261,6061. ; and this, too, in a colony which it has been the fashion to call stagnant or even declining. But let us look at this in another point of vie*. The wool produce is but the growth of the last 15 year; and the number of sheep exceed three millions ; but of these only about 400,000 bear wool for the market ; and all this is the work, not of Joint Stock Companies, but of individual industrial labour, esta blishinga staple commodity for which in all ages the mother country has been celebrated. Having noticed in the'beginning-of this article that the Agricultural Society of the Cape had held its an nual naissting to decide on the qualities of the eleven samples of wool submitted to its arbiters, whose duty . it was to assign to the successful grower the honour of the " Wool Prize Cup," the judges declared Wit liam Dickson, Esq., of the House of William Bur nie and Co.; London, to be entitled to hold the cup , for the ensuing year. This celebrated cup has - beers in the hands ultimately of Reitz, Breda, Joubert, ana the present victor, William Dickson. " Ferat palmam qui meruit." EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY 3N MALACCA. When we reminded the Malacca slaveholders a few months ago, by republishing the resolutions passed at a public meeting in 1829, that the term appointed by themselves for the manumission of their slaves was fast approaChing, we were not aware. whether there ex isted any occasion for us to administer that gentle flapper, but although the term has since expired, we do not know that they have taken any means to signify their intention of redeeming their pledge. iVe hope, however, that the publication of the following modification by the Honourable the Governor, which we copy from a late Malacca paper, will induce them not only to resign all claims of further servitude, but by some solemn act to pro claim to the world at large their renouncement for ever of the system of slavery. It is true, as remarked by the Governor in his Notification, that the slaves at Malacca, for the most part born under the domestic roof, were on the whole kindly and consi derately treated, particularly of late years ; and. we are well aware that nothing resembling tb6 system of slavery formerly extant in the West. Indies, or even the agrestic servitude of India,, ever characterised the system at Malacca. But wien there, only a few weeks before our flag was last hoisted, we have ourselves seen human beings treated as mere goods and chattels, as respositte in commtercio, and knocked down at public sales, with horses and cattle, to the highest bidder ; and, although this state of things no longer exists, we think the Malacca pro prietors should adopt some striking and public means of testifying the sincerity of their intentions (although no doubt the fulfilment of their pledge can be exacted) and making the slaves fully aware of the change at tendant on the proceedings of 1829 : GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. The period having arrived for carrying into execu tion the humane, disinterested, and noble pledge of the slave-holders at Malacca, the Governor deems it right to republish for general information, and in order to remove from the minds of the few slaves who Inv yet be in existence, all apprehension or doubt of their right henceforth to be considered as free, and no longer subject to be treated as slaves, under any de nomination, colour, or pretence whatever. An au thentic copy is subjoined of the resolutions passed at the public meeting of the inhabitants of Malacca, held on the 28th of November, 1829, and at their request conveyed to the Governor through Mr. W. T. Lewis, who presided on the occasion. The Governor takes this opportunity of congrratu lating the European and other inhabitants of Malacca on the completion of their generous purpose, and the satisfaction which they cannot but feel in having thr,us, of their own free will, come 'forward and emanci pated their fellow-men from the degraded condition of slavery. He is aware that tire slaves in question were, generally speaking, born ant'. bred up under 'their mas ter's roof, and have for tt series of years. been sup ported with kind and ecmsiderate treatment, and that they came into the possession of their ovi-ners at a pe riod, and under a Government, when slavery was tolerated by law. The spontaneoutl emancipation, therefore, of their slaves by the inhabitants of Malacca, under such circumstances, cannot • fail to be highly gratifying to, and warmly appreciated by the British Authorities, as well as the Supreme Government of British Piidia, to which latter aTithority the Governor will hr,ve great satisfaction in re porting that the last rt'lr .nant of slavery which existed m the British set- O' ,?ments in the Straits of Ms.lacca has been for ever ' abolished by the unanimous accord of the inhabitants themselves.
