CASE OF MR. O'CALLAGHAN. A meeting of-the visiting .Ju s tices took place. yesterday at the Surrey Prison. There were present Lord East nor, M.P.; Mr. H. Sumner, M.P.; Mr. Denison, M.P.; Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Hedger. They were attended by the High and Sub-Sheriff, and the Itev. Mr. Mann, the Chaplain. Soon after the business of the day commenced, the following communication from Mr. O'Callaghan was delivered in : "To the Visiting Juitices of the Surrey County Gaol. . " Gentlemen,—,The undersigned, a prisoner now confined under sentence of the Court of Quarter Sessions, begs respect fully to call your attention to a Memorial which he addressed to you as a body; or to any of you, on the 16th instant, and which was delivered to Mr. Hedger, a member of your body. " The undersigned bees to state, that a part of the restric tions of which he complained in that memorial have been since removed; but that he is still Confined for 12 hours out of the 24 in a solitary cell ; that he is not al;ow_ i til to see his friends except for twohours in the day, and tliteltaltogetlier .vented from seeing them gn Sundays ; that he is prohibited the use of any other liquor than water, and subjected to many other restrictions and privations not called for by the nature of his case, or, as he' believes, contemplated by his sentence. " The undersigned is now given to understand, that the Noble Lord who presided at his trial, and who pronounced the judgment of the Court upon him, has sMce declared that he could not have imagined at the time that his sentence would have subjected him to such rigorous treatment as he has since experienced. . . " The undersigned, therefore, most respectfully requests of the Visiting Justices, that as he has already suffered a greater degreq-,of punishment than the Court intended to award, and that in consequence of the prison regulations, they may be pleased not only to mitigate the severity of those regulations to which he is still subjected, but to recommerd his case to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as a fit one for the Merciful interposition of the Crown. " He is, with much respect, their Worship' very obedient servant, "LUKE CARLOS O'CA HAN. " Surrey Gaol, Horsemonger_lane, June 25." The meeting lasted till two o'clock. It was (as usual) pri yate ; but we understood that the case of Mr. O'Callaghan was for some time the subject of discussion. Mr. DNisost (as we are informed) contended that, under the circumstances of the case, Mr. O'Callaghan wasentitled to a .still greater relaxation of the prison regulations; tut this hu mane suggestion was overruled by the Hon. Member's brother Magistrates, who decided, that no further indulgence should be allowed to the prisOner than those already given by Mr. Deni son's order. Their Worships did not even condescend to give Mr. O'Callaghan's communication any answer ; but left him to infer their decision from the continuance of their restrictions. With respect to the future treatment of the debtors, the Ma gistrates have recommended some relaxations of the present rules to the Court of Quarter Sessions. In the course of the day, Lord Montford, accompanied by Captain Boyle, ,R.N., called on Mr. O'Callaghan to commu nicate the official answer of Mr. Peel to the memorials addressed to The following is Mr. Peel's letter : . " Whitehall, June 24, 182.1. " Iffy Lord—ln reference to the memorial of Mr. O'Callag han, 'which your Lordship put into my hands yesterday, I beg leave to express my regret that I do not feel myself warranted in recommending to the King a remission of the sentence passed upon Mr. O'Callaghan. " I have made inquiries into the circumstances which your Lordship mentioned to me relative to the treatment of Mr. O'Callaghan in prison, and I understand th a t a t p resent M r . :O'Callaghan is allowed to provide himself with food, and that his friends have access to him. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lotdship's most obedient humble servant, " To Lord Montford, &c. " ROBERT PEEL." Before leaving the prison, Lord Montford and Capt. Boyle visited the cell to which Mr. O'Callaghan is confined for 12 out of the 24 hours. The following is a copy d' the notice given to the Stock Exchange; respecting the determina tionof the Bank to lend mcney on stock : " NOT ICE.—The Bank propose to make advances on Go vernment Stock to a certain amount,for periods of not less than one or more than six months. The tdvance to be three-fourths of the value of the stock at the time of making such advance, at the rate of four per cent. interest ; likewise the same accom modation will be given on Bank Stodt." PaonucrivExEss OF CANALC.—TiIP Canals in England have often been cited as a proof of the advantage of such undertakings being confided to private individuals. In such hands, it is observ ed, tha - t the most beneficial consequences aret he results of that industry which has for its object the formation of great public works. We have no occasion, by-the-bye, to go out of France to offer proof of the fact. At this very moment we have under our eyes the mast striking evidence of the enormous profit yieked by the Canal of Givers—a Canal (and the only one) which has been constructed in France by a company of pri vate individuals. It was made towards the con clusion of the last century. We have attained to this knowledge in consequence of the details and vouchers which have been made public, by reason of a suit pending before the Conseil d'Etat, between the!Canal Company in question, and the Commercial Body of the Arrondissement of Saint Stephen's. From these documents it appears that the Canal cost 1,900,000 francs, and that its annual produce is 817,000 francs, which explains sufficiently the exceedingly high price of each share. The cost was originally 35,000 francs, but they are now worth upwards of 170,000 francs ! It may he fairly questioned whether any of the Canals which are now in process of execution by the Government, by virtue of the Loan of one hundred millions of francs, spe cially granted by the Laws of the Session of 1822, will ever be productive of similar benefit. The annual expose of his Excellency the Mini ster of the Interior ought, conformably to law, to exhibit to the Chambers the precise state of all the public works, with the sums taex pended on them up to thistpodfaiY—the e fail to thro w grea t li g ht theqeusestiaoltla .lt i (Constitution ne l, June 15.) In consequence of the cheap fares by the steam packet from Ireland, this city was honoured a few day s ago, b y a v i s it f rom a party of chim ney sweep ers f rom B e lf as t.

ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. Yesterday the Anniversary of the Society es a - blished for the Abolition of Slavery in the. British Colodes was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, where upwards of 900 Ladies and Gentlemen were assembled at twelve o'clock : his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER in the (hair. The SECRETARY read the report of the proceedings )f the Committee during the last year. It recited the proceedi)gs of the House of Commons on the subject. It adverted .o the threat of revolt which had been received from Jamaia and other Colonies; and said, that since such threats hai been found ineffectual the tone had been altered ;—indee( such threats were most ridiculous, but They manifested the spirit of the Colonies ? The Report urged, that public iiscus sion of the eilestion was highly beneficial, and °Ott to be . persevered in. It had been charged, that plots ant con spiracies had been entered into by the Slaves, in .vnse quence of the rash proceedings of the Society. If pins and conspiracies had arisen amongst the Slaves, they were pro perly to- tie evcitpod,,to rt ) .w . lnflarnen4fory%prpceedings, and parochial me e ti ngs , of . the Slave - Proprietors tfiern eivrc But the Society would find that no such alarming steps had been taken by the Slaves. It was true, indeed, that 12 Slaves. had been tried and executed at Jamaica. With that exception, however, there had been but one instance of conspiracy, and that of a very shallow nature, in Demerara. The Report coin pared the moderate conduct of the refractory Slaves with the merciless and blood thirsty conduct of their Masters when they regained their power. It alluded to the prosperity of the State of - Hayti, in St. Domingo, as an answer to all that had been urged against the further emancipation of Slaves. It went On with a recital of facts tending to prove the superior bene fit of freedom to slave labour. It stated, that the Bounties and Prohibiting Duties in favour of West India produce. was, upon the nation, a tax of at least a million and a half per annum, which tended to—and, in fact, was—the support of Slavery. The friends of emancipation should, it stated, exert themselves to procure the abolition of those imposts. The Public, indeed, had it in their power—by a slight re straint on appetite—by the refusal to use Wrest India Sugar, to put a period to the system. During the last year no amelio ration of the Slave Code had taken place in the Colonies. The Report concluded with announcing, that 120 auxiliary Institi tutions had arisen throughout, the Country within the last year. 7 The Hon. AGAR ELLis moved, that the Report should be . adopted and printed, and that the thanks of the Meeting should be given to the Vice-President and Committee, for the able man ner in which they had compiled it. Mr. STEPHEN rose to second the motion, and was received with the greatest applause. He alluded, in a powerful man ner to.the former gloomy prospect which presented itself to the . Society, and to the present contrasted anticipation of th e h umane part of mankind. One of the . greatest points achieved was the interdiction of that no less injurious and opprobrioui system than the original detestable traffic—The Slave Trade between the Colonies themselves. If his Majesty's Government had conceded nothing else, this was a concession of vital import ance, as it laid the foundation of other improvements, and as it prevented the removal from one colony of a slave, whose condition might have been amended, to another colony, where he would be placed under worse laws, and in a more rigorous situation. The friends of emancipation were charged with having altered their grounds, and asked what they never be fore thought of. Mr. Stephen, in answer to this charge, read the Report of the Proceedings of what was called " The West . India Committee," on the 14th of December, 179fi. This Com mittee, which consisted of the most respectable West India Proprietors, stated to the body of their constituents, that it was the intention of Mr. Wilberforce to propose the abolition of the Slave Trade, and a reform in the condition of the slaves ; that the projects of the abolition and reform were fraught with ruin to the property of the slave owners, and that they ought, as they were likely to be adopted, to be anticipated by the latter, who would be better able to carry the proposed alterations into effect, with security to their interests and prosperity. The propo sitions of reform made to the Legislative Assembly were, chiefly, that a moral and Christian education should be given to slaves, and that their testimony should be admissible in Courts of Justice. These propositions were backed by recom mendations from Parliament, and the highest authorities. In consequence of the West India Proprietors having taken the subject, as it were, out of the hands of the friends of emanci pation, the latter desisted from pressing their projects of reform. Yet what was the effect of thus surrendering the cause into the hands of the West India Proprietors themselves ? He would ask them to look at the condition of their slaves now, after twenty-seven years had elapsed. The existence of all those barbarous laws which trammelled their condition had been made notorious to the country in the late discussions in Par liament, it was then shewn that the evidence of slayes was still inadmissible to obtain justice against a proprietor, while it was admitted as sufficient evidence on which to condemn a Christian Pastor to death, on statements the most absurd and improbable that ever were found in the tales of romance.--(Applause.)— The evidence of a slave was admissible, although he was swear ing for his own life, and under the influence of terror, which in this country would have disqualified the most intelligent and upright member of the community, if he came forward as a witness. With respect to education, to this ddy no provision whatever had been made by the slave proprietors ; and what was the treatment which was received by those Missionaries, who went forward to give a moral and religious education to the slaves ? They were subjected to the martial law, and hunted down as the promoters of rebellion, bloodshed, and murder.— He concluded by an eloquent appeal to the Society to persevere, until the great national crime, the existence of slavery in these Colonies, was wiped away.—(Loud cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. The Hon. BAPTIST NOEL moved a resolution, expressive of the determination of the Society to pursue their great objects with unabated perseverance. . Mr. TRosta.s MACAULEY, jun. seconded the motion, in an excellent speech, on the present state of slavery and society in the Colonies. Ile commented on the proceedings on the trial of Mr. Smith, whose Judges, he said, would live in history, and be classed with the names of the Judges of Ridley and Latimer.—(Loud applause.)—He solicited this Society to re double their exertions, and to consider every obstacle as an in citement to additional exertions. They might expect ridicule, misrepresentation, and calumny—they were prepared to meet and to despise them.—(Continued applause)—They resembled the Hero of Tasso, when he lifted the sword-to dissolve the en chantment of the forest. The sky was darkened, a storm arose against him, horrid noises assailed his ears, horrid shapes arose around to menace him, and the earth shook underneath him ; but the blow was given, the spell was dissolved, the sky brightened, the demons fled howling from the place which they could no longer pollute, and health and serenity again prevailed.—(Loud applause.) The motion was carried by acclamation. Lord CALTIIORPE congratulated the Meeting on the power which they had gained to their cause by the .eloquence of the young Advocate. The Noble Lord commented, with much force, upon the case of Mr. Smith, and the proceedings which had arisen upon it in the House of Commons; and concluded by moving a Resolution, expressive of the concern and abhor rence which the Meeting felt at the recent proceedings in De merara, and their sympathy at the condition of the widow of Mr. Smith. The Resolution also expressed their thanks to Mr. Brougham, and other Members of the House of Com mons, for the able manner in which they had vindicated the conduct of this unfortunate Minister of the Gospel. Mr. TAYLOR, of Moncey, seconded the motion, and ex pressed his hope, that the public would not confine them= selves merely to an expression of sympathy at the condition of the widow, but that they would exert their charity towards her and her fatherless children. Mrs. Smith's advocates in the House of Commons had entitled themselves not only to the gratitude of their country, but to a still higher reward.— (Cheers.) Dr. LustifsibTosi returned thanks, and said, that it Was his firm opinion, that it was for the abolition of slavery that they must look. It was his firm conviction, from long attention, that no project of amelioration, that had not abolition for its object, could be effectual. He did not believe it to be given by God to man to form a code of slavery. flow were they, in such a code, to regulate the relation of brother and sister, when the one was in slavery and the other free ? How w e r e th e y t o prevent those number less violations of decen c y an d v i r t ue , that had ever been, an d still would he, th e e ffe ct o f s l aver y? fl o w could they expect any code of laws to be obeyed by those who were deprived of all in citements to virtue by the loss of hope, and the degradation to which they w e r e su bj ec t e d. He well recollected so me express i ons of Lord i'enville,who,in answer to the assertion that agreat nom. ber of th eIV est I n di a P r oprietors were gentle men w h ose h uman i ty might be tr uste d, sa id, I would not trust my se lf i n s i m il ar circum stances.:.Thehuman mind is so framed as td be contathln`ated by the frequent repetition of cruelty in our presence. . The sense of the abhorrenc e we .ought - to' entertain is weakened on each occasion; and at ' length destrOyed. They ought to urge, *that emancipation should be prepared :for with the greatest speed ; and never to lose sight of the principle,. that a state of Slaye r y was a thing which could ' not be enured."—(Applause.)— He 'held in his hand a notice for a Vote of"Tnanks to ari indi vidual, whose name had- only to be mentioned to ensure its reception. It was to the Rey.. Mr, Austin, of Perperp.ra.— tCheers.)—Whether they looked at him as connected with the Colony, or with the Constituted Government, his conduct 'was equally admirable. He dared the angor of th e Pl anter ,. al though lie saw there was no injustice they were not ready to commit. He dar&l the anger of 'the Authorities, although he had every thing to fear from their power.' And was alwayS found by the side of Mr. Smith, as his comforter, eider,' and assister to the last mOnient.—(Cheers.)—His conduct would place him aloft in the annals of heroic virtue. If he should be driven from his houie and home, England will receive him with open arms. After it few - observations from Mr. J. SkiTn and Mr. Wit. , k. at - 6 Oct, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meet ing adjourned. THE BAPTIST SOCIETY' FOR PROMOTING THE GOSPEL IN IRELAND This Society held its- tenth anniversary yester day,at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsfrate-street ; and ' although the Chair was taken so early as seven o'clock in the morning, there was a very large assemblage of- respectable per seas; the majority of whom were females ; and soon after the business had commenced the company had increased to several • hundreds. JOSEPH BUTTERWORTH, Esq., took the Chair, and after a prayer had been Wiered up by a Reverend Gentleman (we believe Mr. James he (Mr. Joseph Butterworth) opened the business of the day, by calling upon their worthy Secretary to read the Report of the proceedings of the Committee during the past year. _ _ _ The Rev. I. IvnuEv 'then read the Peport. It stated, that during the past year the Society, through their agents, had gra tuitously supplied the Irish with 500 Bibles and 2,000 Testaments • in the Irish and English languages. The number of the day schools was 95, situate, with a few exceptions, in the pro vinces of Connaught and Munster; 15 of these were exclu. • -sively for females. There were also 14 evening schools, prin cipally for adults, besides some Sunday schools. The number of children amounted to upwards of 8,000 ; these chiefly be longed to Roman Catholic parents. It had required 3,000 copies of the first spelling-book, and two thousand five hundred of the second. ) , to supply the wants of these schools. They were printed for the Society in Ireland, and gratuitously distributed. The estimation in which the schools were held by the resident gentry might be judged of from the circumstance that during the past year, in Connaught alone, upwards of 1201. had been con tributed towards the funds of the Institution ; anti the pecu niary assistance afforded by persons in Ireland had increased every year. The Report concluded by saying, that it was surely not too much to expect, out of the 40,000 children, besides adults, who had been taught to read the Scriptures, many had become honest and good Christians ; and the Committee felt confident that, so far as the labours of the Society had .been extended, the temporal and spiritßal welfare of the peasantry of Ireland had been the gratifying result. The TREASURER then read the accounts, by which it ap. peared.a debt of 5001. had been discharged since the last year, and that the funds were in a flattering state. The Rev. Mr. EvANSON moved, that the Report be adopted and circulated at the discretion of the Committee. The Rev. Mr.-MOROAN seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The Rev. Mr. ANDERSON moved, that the Meeting was convinced, by the.experience of every year, that no means was so well calculated to benefit the population of Ireland, espe cially those adults who were able to read, and who could speak only the Irish language, as the employment of Irish Scripture readers, and whilst it rejoiced that the Divine Blessing had already attended the labours of those who were thus engaged, recommended that that mode of disseminating religious know ledge should be still more extensively employed, not doubtifig but the liberality of the Christian public would readily meet any increased expenditure. J. S. Tmoti, Esq. of the Middle Temple, seconded the Resolution, which was put and carrried unanimously. J. E. BICHENO, Esq. moved the ti , anks of the meeting to the Treasurer and Secretaries. Mr. BURLS, the Treasurer, returned thanks. The Rev..). IVI3IEV, one of the Secretaries, also returned thanks. The Rev. Mr. SAFFERX moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Committee. The Rev. 3lr. JAmEs seconded the motion. . . The Rev. Mr. KEEN moved the thanks of the Meeting to those whose exertions had enabled the Society to effect the pleasing change in the state of their finances, which had been that day announced. The Rev. Mr. BlaT seconded the motion. The Rev. F. A. Cox moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr.'W. Bußt:s. • The C4AIRIUAN made his acknowledgments, and the Meet ing broke up. The collections made at the doors were very considerable.' ALARMING INUNDATION. 'From the Chelmsford Chronicle, June 244 The inhabitants of the lower parts of this town in the more immediate vicinity of the rivers, are in a state of the greatest consternation for the safety of their property. A flood has come on since 9 o'clock this morning, which has risen to such a height, that a parallel can scarce he found on record since the destruction of the world. The rapidity of the stream through the bridge is unprecedented, and the riing of the water so un expected, that the destruction of property to a large amount, iry our vicinity alone, must be the consequence. From Mr. Knight's, the grocer, whose cellars are full of water ; to those of Mr. Myers, the pawnbroker, the water issues from the doors, passages, and gateways, in streams scarcely to be with. stood, and is several feet deep upon the ground floor ; the same lamentable scene presents- itself from the other side the bridge, to Mr. Andrews', grocer, Moulshatn : this is the state of persons on both sides of the way -, the cellars, where there are any, being also filled. Mr. Clapham, the tanner, will suffer a great loss ; at Friars, the residence o'f J. 0. Par ker, Esq. the water runs with a strong current from the par lour windows; 'and whilst we are writing this but faint detail of the scene, the waters are still rising. Those who had grass in the vicinity which was severed (and Mr. TraYener, we he lieve, is one of the sufferers), will see it no moire: it was p a i n _ full indeed to . some to witness the cocks of grass anti hay,' buildings and fences, floating upon the face of the waters ; but we do not all feel alive, as it produced' from others loud accla mations. The only means of passing from the end of the Mid dle-row to the top of Moulsham is by carriages and carts, which are plying with passengers c ontinually. At the early part of the day, attempts were made to stem the current, and prevent persens imprudently shut their its entering the town, an d some gates; this only added to the disasters of themselves and others, as the darns were soon forced.. We forbear to enter into any detail of our fears, or reports, respecting the crops of corn , which are said to be laid flat with the ground. The rain con ti nues to fall; consolations, however, we have to offer, —we have not heard of the loss of any li ves; the Weather glass just now rises, whiCh we are wiling to construe, as our wishes lead us, that fine weather is not far distant, which, 'with the incursions of t h e waters as t a ene k dn e n a vo d i te r ww a ii n ti t )g a ns g t at e n h of (eii nm t hg motley rhea tnl brisk winds, we hope will shortly enable the crops to resume t h e ir natural positions.. - • Psfr s o i ril tua i ti h o e n will now their upper a . smile , Six o'Clock.— The waters have begun to recede.
