SAVORY and SONS, Goldsmiths, 14, A Cornhill, London, opposite the Bank, have diddled a few splendid Pieces of PLATE, suitable for presentation to Gentlemen connected with either of the above pursuits or professions, to which they invite the attention of Committees who are in search of valuable testimonials for such occasions. magistrate, in conformity with British law, before their de livery to the demand of the American Government. It now only depended - apart what sort of instructionsher - Majesty's Minis ters would give to the Governors of Canada and the West In dies, as to the interpretation of certain words in the treaty, to snake it more or less favourable to the unhappy persons to be claimed. There is great reason to believe that they per formed this part of their office in a spirit highly honourable to themselves ; for since the' ratification of the treaty seven fugitive slaves from Florida escaped to N•assau, who were charged with murder. These were soon followed by the Marshal of the United States, with orders to chtim them and bring then back. Their case was immediately brought be fore the proper authority of the island, and the evidence not being such as British law required, they werenot surrendered. I hope and believe that all such cases will terminate in the same manner; not that I tdesire the really guilty to escape punishment, but that slaves who Airnplyqun away-from cruel masters, should not be charged with fictitious crimes to oc casion their surrender. I cannot therefore helpiliiikitig that this defeat of the object of the Washington Treaty is to be considered as one of the most important occurrences, as a gain to Our cause, in the past year. " But I fear I have trespassed too much upon the time of your audience, I, will therefore only add, that I do earnestly wish that the intended meeting may prove highly satisfactory to yourself as well as highly advantageous to our common cause.—Yours, affectionately, "THOMAS CLARKSON. " Playford Hall, near Ipswich, May 14, 1844." He would now say one word with respect to the loss of a zealous co-nperator in the good Work for many y ears, one . who was now removed from works. to, ..rewards.• Since they last - met they had lost his valued friend William Allen.t— (Cheers.) It was far from his intention to attempt to pass any eulogium on William Allen, a man who in alleviating the sufferings of his fulloviNicreatures, looked . upon himself only'as the instrument of God. He was now where the praise or condemnation of Mankind could not affect him. He merely now alluded to the circumstance of their friend's death, in order to express a hope that they would not only. imitate the zeal with which their friend had toiled in the cause of suffering humanity, but also the love and forbear ance which he showed, towards those who differed from him in opinion, as to the best means to be adopted for obtaining their great object. In that respect their 'friend, 'William Allen, was a bright example.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. &pimp. then came forward to read the report, which was extremely long, and from which we thke the following extracts : " In presenting the fifth annual report of the Society to its supporters and friends, the Committee would call attention, in the first place, to the present state of the African slave-trade. "The powers which stand before the civilized world pre eminent in guilt for the part they have taken in this nefarious traffic of late years, are Spain, Portugal, and Brazil. Had they acted in conformity with their own laws, and with treaty stipulations, the slave-trade would long since have disappeared. But deaf alike to the calls of humanity and honour they have shamelessly persisted, in peopling their own territories, or supplying others with slaves. Spain, utterly reckless of consequen c es, allows the traffic to be car r i e d on as a means of enriching her treasury, of keeping the Creole popula tion of her colonies in check, and of rewarding the adherents of her changing governments for their services. The present Captain-General of Cuba is an avowed partizan of the slave trade, and is represented as uninfluenced by the counsels and remonstrances of the resident population, who dread the further increase of the African race, as an element of weak ness and decay, rather than of strength and prosperity. " Portugal is chiefly devoted to the conveyance of slaves from Africa to the Spanish colonies and Brazif; and is as ap parently reluctant to forego this employment for her mercan tile marine, as they are to discontinue the guilty traffic. Brazil is now the largest slave-importing country in the world; and, it is believed, that during the last two years the number of unfortunate Africans introduced has been im mense. " At the last anniversary of the Society, the Committee had the gratification of announcing the important fact, that slavery had been abolished in British India. The millions that were there enslaved are now legally free, the act of the Governor in council, which secures that great end, having received the sanction of the Court of East India Directors and of the British Government. Henceforth it will be the duty, and should be the aim, of the Society to see that the emancipated slaves are free, in fact, as well as in law. The same general remarks apply to Malacca, Singapore, Penang, and ProvinCe Wellesley. In Ceylon slavery has not wholly been abolished, and the Committee are informed that slaves still remain in bondage at St. Helena. Mr. O'Connell here entered the room and was received with loud cheers, which lasted for some time. There were a few hisses mingled with the cheers, which had the effect of prolonging the applause. The SECRETARY, before he proceeded with the report, re minded the audience that they were attending an Anti slavery meeting.—(Cheers.) He then proceeded with the report. . . . ." At Hong-Kong, slavery, if not actually permitted by the authorities, is found to exist. It cannot, however, be sup posed that the British Government, when the facts are al "-rat ITU Piing 1110 re injurionslo our influence in China could be imagined. " The Committee have also learned that at Gibraltar the inmates of the houses of the Moorish residents are held as slaves, and sometimes sent thence to the Coast of Barbary for sale. To these points, the anxious attention of the Cora• mittee has been directed. " The Committee have further become aware of the fact that British vessels are sometimes employed in the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea in transporting slave.s from one port to another for sale. Of course they lost no time in laying the fact before her Majesty's Government, who, they feel persuaded, will institute the most rigid inquiries into abuses of the British flag, and apply the necessary constitu tional remedy. The Committee have watched the progress of emigration from the British settlements on the coast of Africa to the West Indies with the greatest care, and have to report that, whilst on the one hand they rejoice that the British Govern ment have resisted the solicitations of the West Indies to ex tend the range whence the supply of labourers might be drawn, beyond these settlements, lest it should afford Foreign Powers a plea for covertly carrying on a slave-trade, under the pretext of supplying the colonies and possessions with free labourers; they deeply regret, on the other, that they have given way on a vital point, that of a due proportio# of the sexes. _ " The removal of the prohibition laid on the - export of Indian labourers to Mauritius, has led to a vast influx of these people into the island. The mayket v has become glut ted ; and probably the further introdVion has been sus pended in whole or in part, except in the case of women and families. Such an utter disregard of the great principles which should govern the introduction' of labourers into the British colonies, is, in the judgment of the' Committee, do serving of the severest reprobation." The report then referred to the general prospects of the Society in the various countries of the world. " An event of great importance, though not originating with the Society, merits a record in its report—the trial of Pedro de Zulueta, junior, for aiding and abetting the slave trade. A true bill having been found by the grand July, he was tried at the Old Bailey, and barely escaped conviction, the petty jury having acquitted him, contrary to the summing up of the learned judge, who presided over the Court. The facts bronght to light by this trial prove clearly the artifices to which . the traffickers in human flesh and their agents in this country resort in the prosecution of their nefarious and inhuman deeds. To the courage, talent, and zeal, of Sir George Stephens, the public are indebted for this exposure. In testimony of the importance which the Committee attach to the criminal proceedings against Znlueta, and as duo to the anti-slavery cause, they have published an authentic ac count of the trial, accompanied by such additional matter as throws light upon the more obscure parts of the evidence. This publication is earnestly recommended to the attention of the friends of Africa, throughout the country." He (the Secretary) thought he would be consulting the plea sure of the meeting if he did not continue to read the details of the report at length. He would, therefore, conclude by reading the conclusion of the report : " The nature of the evil 'to bo overcome—the enslavement of the human race—coupled as it is with the power of inve terate habits, engendered by centuries of despotic authority, the pride and prejudice of caste, arising out of superiority of condition ; the lust of gain, stimulated by the desire of power, which wealth confers ; and the love of domination, so dear to the oppressors of mankind, present the most formida ble, though, happily, not insurmountable obstacles, to the ac complishment of the great object which Christian philanthro pists, in this and other lands, have in view. Yet, strong in the righteousness of their cause, cheered by past successes and by present appearances, and trusting to the Divine bles sing, they confidently anticipate the time when the yoke of the oppressor shallbe broken, and the millions of the human race who now sigh in bondage, shall be free."—(Cheers.) Mr. G. W. ALEXANDER then read the financial statement, by which it appeared that the expenditure of the last year amounted to 2,1701., and the liabilities were estimated at 7001. The Bishop of NORWICH was then called upon to propose the first resolution, and was received with loud cheers. He said, that it was at some inconvenience to himself that he attended that morning, for he bad to be at a meeting in another place at twelve o'clock, but he could not allow such an opportunity to pass by without being present to show his goodwill and wishes towards the cause. It was, in fact, a cause that connected itself with the best feelings of society, and vibrated in the hearts of every *person who possessed British feelings. There was not a single Englishman present whose heart was not with him, and though there were others who were absent in body, yet they were present in spirit. Of all the causes ever argued in that room, there was none so worthy of public patronage as the present.—(Hear, hear.) It was not connected with party or politics.—(Hear, hear.) But to go beyond that, it had Christianity for its foundation, it had Christianity in its progress, and it had Christianity for its object from beginning to end.—(Cheers.) • With these feelings, it gave him great pleasure to be present that day. Having said these few words, he would conclude by moving the resolution he had before him. There were speakers who would enter at large into the details with which he was not conversant. He was there to show how anxious he was to promote the cause of anti-slavery, and that he was anxious for freedom in every shape ; the - freedom of the h uman m i n d, freedom political and socia.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Tome KENNEDY, of Aberdeen, seconded the reso lution. He did not know that he would be called on to ' do so till he had entered• the meeting, and he, therefore, thought he should be best .consulting the satisfaction of . the meeting by . merely seconding the resolution, which was, that the report just read be printed and circulated under the di rection of the Committee, and that Geo. Win. Alexander be requested to act as auditor, and John Scoble be .Secretary, and the following • be , the Committee for the year ensuing, with power to add to theirnumber."--illerefollow the names. Mr. GEORGE Tgomr•sori then came forwa r d am id st l ou d cheers, and said that, though net wholly unaccustomed to address public assemblies, he could, with the utmost sin cerity and truth, affirm that he never felt a' larger amount of reluctance in presenting himself before a public meeting than on this occasion. He rose with considerable pain, because he rose to submit to the meeting proposition wbich.he was bound to say was not brought be fore the meeting with the concurrence of those respected gentle men who constituted the Committee of .thd Society, and whose right it was to arrange the ;business to which th e y were t o di rect their attention.• He would state, as he proceed e d, the T conside rations e?atiye ichM:utve3,4 him to disch arge w h a t he .* lie neeniot say he stood icoeusivedt to beanimperative conceived before the assembly with feelings of entire and cordial sym pathv in the great objects they were met to prorrote.—(Hear, hear He would refer to his past life, and would attempt no justification of himself from any imputation that might by • possibility be cast on, his zeal in this great undertaking. He was sustained by the conviction in undertaking this sub ject, that no individual had a stronger desire to see the uni versal and speedy extirpation of slavery. He was also sus tained by the conviction, and it *as an honest and deep oue, that he came there that morning, and was accompanied. by others, in the capacity of a promoter of peace, of union, and of that harmonious action by which they could best support the question now before them. They deprecated dispute, still more distraction, and, most of all, division and desertion.— (Hear, hear.) They desired that the friends of emancipation should be one; and that if they could not see eye to eye on every question of policy, and the means by which they should work, they should at least find some certain and sound principle of ' , action by which they might all stand, combined, and acting together; without any division in their councils 'or any separation in their work.—(Hear, hear.) It would be neglecting an opportunity, which would not occur again for a year, if they were not to bring before the meeting the fact that there was at this moment amongst the best .friends of the anti-slavery cause divisions ,of sentiment as regard the policy and consistency of the Committee in inter fering through the medium of Government, and by means of fiscal regulations, with the question of slavery.—(Bear, hear.) He conceded for those who differed from him perfect honesty of intention. He claimed not .for themselves any larger. measure of sincerity, any larger measure even of enlightenment, than that possessed by those friends who differed from them. But he conceived it most important, standing on the thres hold of another year, that an attempt should be made to as certain what were the - feelings-arat oprisionsof the - constituent body by whose contributions and voices they were sustained. He must take exception to that part* of the Committee's re port, which declared that there had been a " full and candid discussion of this entire subject." He was not there to com plain that those who were willing to discuss this great ques tion had notbeen permitted through the medium of the accre dited organ of the Society, to speak to the country oh the subject—that they were not allowed to put forward their statements and sentiments, except so far as the honourable conductor of that organ might please, in the centre of an additional article to notice sonic portion of his speech, while the views on the other side of the question had been published in the organ of the Society in the form of letters, and distributed through the length and breadth of the land. He had not seen in that publication the views entertained by Mr. Blair, Mr. Anstey, sad Mr. Spooner; no statements em bodying a calm elucidation of the views of these who differed from the Committee on this question. - It was however right that those views should be brought before the public though he regretted he was the individual that first rose • to expound them, and that some indivi dual of more ability than himself had not done so. He did not blame them for the course which they had taken, but it was vital to the Society to consider whether that was a consistent policy—whether the Society should be exclu sively of a moral and religious character. With reference to discriminating duties he must remind the meeting that these could only be maintained with force.—(Hear, hear.) . The Government could not carry out any law for the exclusion of slave-grown sugar without force—the thing was abhorrent to the feelings of those who constituted that Society.—(" No, no," and cheers.) How would such a law be enforced, but by a coast blockade and a standing anny ?—(Cheers.) What would the law be for? To prevent a certain article from coming into this country because it was produced in another country where slavery existed. It was true that there would be some difficulty in smuggling sugar ; it was • too bulky an article to be smuggled. It was not the sanctity of the law, but its impracticability that made it inviolable. Such a law was only for the maintenance of monopoly.—(Cheers.) nine out of a hundred of the people of this country would re pudiate the law, and think that it was no crime against God to evade it. But suppose it were possible to smuggle sugar like gold, and lace, and jewels, how could that smuggling be prevented but by cruisers and coast-guards and revenue cut ters ?—(Cheers.) Would that Society make itself the agent of the Government in carrying such a law into effect? — (Cheers and disapprobation.) It was objected thatby intro ducing Brazilian and Cuba sugar, and the sugar of Porto Rico, there would be an aggravation f slavery; but he held that to reject the produce of these countries would be a greater aggravation of the. evils. It was argued also that if they pur chased sugar the produce of slave States, they were directly encouraging slavery. What, were they encouraging slavery when they sent missionaries throughout the world? when they disseminated tracts and made sacrifices personal and po litical for the abolition ?—(Cheers.) How could they go to the Government and ask for a discriminating duty to prevent honest people from buying that which they thought it no crime., to consume?-(Cheers.) A GENTLEMAN in one of the galleries called out, " Wha do yell say about cotton ?," The CHAIR3IAN said that he hoped Mr. Thompson would be allowed to proceed without interruption. • Mr. G. THOMPSON resumed.—When he sought to pur chase this sugar, he might be told that this sugar was the produce of slave labour. He might not have known that; Rt. atm 'AN:Fr, trlynn hn %was 11-Sutured Ur it he might moat tt right.--Cheers.) They might tell him that he would by purchasing that sugar be aggravating the horrors of The` slave trade and of slavery. Nevertheless, he might be in duced to prefer 501. to 25/. ; and now• he asked them, did they consider it their duty to inform a Government officer in order to prevent him ?—(Hear, hear.) He would ask them if, as an Anti-Slavery Society they were prepared, in order to prevent him from purchasing this sugar, to call in a Government officer, and order that officer to hale him off to prison. He did not believe they would.— (Cheers.) But if they did, they would be as bad in prin- • ciple as the men who carried on the African slave trade.— (Cheers.) It was right that the negro should be free.— (Cheers.) It was wrong to take from him his labour without hire ; but it was as wrong to tell a man who had fabricated twenty yards of cloth, that he should not exchange it to the best advantage.—(Loud cheers.) Who made them the udges over his conscience?—(Cheers.) They should leave him to settle that with his God.—(Cheers.) , They must convince his understanding, and then he would be with them ; but if they attempted to force him—hands off ! (Loud cheers.) And now for the argument that they would be aggravating the horrors of slavery. There was a certain quantity of sugar required for the whole of Europe, of which we formed only a small portion. This sugar was brought ' from the' Brazils, from India, from Java, from Cuba, from Cochin, from Sumatra, from Manilla, and from various other • places. We refused to take Brazilian sugar, but we went to Manilla, Sumatra, and Cochin, and we said to the people there, " Give us your sugar." They replied, " We had in tended to have taken it elsewhere, but as we can get a shilling mere for it in your market, we prefer sending it to England." Now, that would leave the market which they were wont to Supply without their accustomed * supply. Brazil was in the habit of sending sugar there, and what were they doing by withdrawing the Manilla sugar from those markets but creating a void which would be filled up by sugar from the Brazils.—(Cheers.) If it was against the conscience of the people of this country to use this sugar, they would abstain from it ; but if the nation was without a conscience on this subject—if it had no conscience—he denied the right of this Society to go to the Government and ask for their assistance.—;-(Cheers.) They were begging the whole question when they said, if so many more hogs heads of sugar. were produced, so many more slaves would be torn: froth their native land and transported to Brazil. They were assuming that which they could not prove.—(Cheers.) Let them prove it.—(Loud cheers.) How had they hitherto , sought to put an end to wrong-doing ? Why, by the best of all means—by moral means. They had relied solely on pa cific means, and if the Government had volunteered, its aid, they had repudiated it. They wanted not the aid of the se cular arm ; they looked tolleaven for aid.—(Great cheering.) They relied on the AlmightY.—(Renewed cheering.) There were among those who took an opposite view of this subject those who said that not a man hi England should be taxed until lie was enfranchised.—(Cheers and interruption.) They knew that on this question the unenfranchised were against them. They knew that those who enjoyed the franchise were against thein.—(Cries of "No politics," "Question." Why, that was the euestien.—(Loud cheers.) They knew that the great body of the unenfranchised were against them. —(Cheers.) They knew that the great body of the en franchised were against them.--(Loud cheers.) They knew that the real opinion of a large proportion of dills Parliament was against them.—(Cheers.) They knew that they were in a minority themselves—(Cheers)—and thay were supported in Parliament by men who had been shamelessly inconsistent on this question.—(Loud cheering.) These men when it suited their interest to procure a law for their own support, took the arguments of the Clarksons and Sturges ; pocketing their own arguments in support of class legislation, they came forward with arguments furnished them by the Anti-Slavery Society, and in the name of humanity propped up the West India interest. (Loud cheers.) No answer had been given to the question, why, if they adniitted sugar, the produce o Ifree labour States; at a slight differential duty as compared with the produce of our own colonies, the sugar, if proffered by slave holding coun tries, should be refused? That question had not been an swered.(Cheers.) This principle of refusing slave labour produce had never been introduced before. Why slave labour produce was in the hall—it was upon the platform.—(Cheers.) It was about their persons.--(Cheers.) It was round their necks.—(Cheers.) It manacled their feet—(Cheers)—it fettered their ancles—(Loud cheers)—it was in their pockets in the shape of precious metals—(lmmense ! cheering)—and yet they were called upon to act upon the principle that slave-grown produce was to be excluded until slavery should be abolished! They were to be told that this was the prin ciple with West Indians in Parliament, with West Indians in the Cabinet, among whom was one who had been one of the most talented defenders of slavery in our own colonies. Could they forget that the :Premier had voted against them oa the question of the abolition of flogging women in Jamaica?—(Loud cheers.) Why they had had to meet again and again in thattall to appeal to the religious feel ings of the country to aid them in opposing the pro-slavery propositions of these men. Let them observe their argu ments were applied to sugar, and sugar alone. Nothing was said about coffee:(Clieers.) How was this? Humanity had leaped out of the coffee-pot into the sugar-bowl.—( Laughter.) There was no humanity in the coffee-pot. There was no ob jection to taking slave-labour coffee, although three-fourths of the capital and labour of Brazil were employed in the cul tivation of coffee. Would those men be likely to aid them who knew that the extinction of slavery in the Brazils would lead to the competition of Braziliaresitgar with the sugar of Jamaica? They bound them by their interests to do their utmost for the continuance of slavery in the Brazils for ever. He was there to protest against their asking Government to interfere for the overthrow - of slavery. He objected to the. wording of the report. He called upon them to prove before adopting it. They had always repudiated the idea of having • recourse to force for the propagation of their opinions, and now they were seeking to have recourse to force ; for what was the law unless supported by the physical force at the command of Government? It might be concealed, it might be inert, it might be not used, but still it existed. The sun was not blotted out because' clouds obscured his effulgence, and a standing army did not the less exist, because they saw not its bayonets, and heard not the thunder of its cannon.—(Loud Cheers) Let them look back at their reports for the last twelve years, and observe the religious character of their efforts. The eyes of the people were upon them, and he besought them not to! have recourse to the aid of Government. They had always repudiated every kind of force, and every appeal to every kind of coercion. When in that hall a -proposition- was made to send an expedition to the Niger they had held aloof from that scheme because the steamers carried arms. They would not co-operate for that reason. The scheme had gone to the ground, as this would also if they did not adopt the prin ciple which they had then repudiated.—(Cheers.) He was not there as the representative of any man but himself, and the course which he should recommend to the Committee was to let the question bean open question—(Cheers)-;--not to act officially on the subject ; to see if they could not reconsider their constitution, se as to reconcile the pacific principles of the third article with the provisions of the fourth. They should recollect that they represented the anti-slaVery community of England. They did not represent their own subscribers only, and they ought to act in accordance with the feelings of the community at large.—(Cheers.) Let them reconsider their constitution : it was a vital point. He asked no more that day. Every lover of freedom must' deprecate anything in the shape of division.—(Hear, hear.) The sum total of his amendment, on the motion before the Chair, was that they would s u spe n d th e i r judg ment, and with that suspend their action, upon this question until they had reconsidered their constitution. Mr. Thompson then read his amendment, which was to the effect that " while that meeting awarded to the Com.: mittee its most hearty commendation for the ac ti v it y and zeal it had 'evinced in the' cause of universal abolition during the past year, yet, considering the honest difference of opinion . which prevailed Among the friends of that cause on the subject of discriminating duties on slave and free produce, and on the propriety of a Society, which is restricted by its constitution to the use of those means which are only of a moral, religious, and pacific character, inter fering through the medhun of Government in the question, it deems it right to instpact any committee appointed to refrain from acting on that part of the constitution which pledged Oa Society to promote the adoption of fiscal regulations un favourable to slave laLour until tie articles of the Society's constitution were re-considered." He then proceeded to sav— Let them individually abstain from the use of every article if it was slave-grown, if they could do so, Let them recom mend that as a duty to others. Let them not go t o a Govern ment whose aid they could not get in the shape of a law. without force. . Let them not, while maintaining the prin ciples of liberty for one class of men, violate its sacred prin ciples to their own countrymen at home.—(Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE Wu. ANSTEY, of Devizes, seconded the amend ment. A GENTLEMAN, whose name we understood to be Wales, a barrister of Leeds, here rose in the midst of the meeting, to speak ; but his observations were in so low a tone of voice, and the cries of " Come to the platform " were so loud, that we were unable to catch one word of what he said. In the interim, while the Learned Gentleman was making his way to the platform, The CHAMMAN said he would venture to suggest to the meeting the extreme difficulty in which they would be in volved if they should take the whole of its proceedings out of the course for which arrangements had been made.—(A Voice—" Fair play.") Mr. JOSEPH STURGE would, if the gentleman who had possession of the chair, permitted him, in a few words, en deavour to suggest a mode in which they might fall in with the resolutions of George Thompson. He (Mr. Sturge) conceived that the subject before them was of such immense importance, and a right decision upon it of such great con sequence to millions of their fellow-men, that, while he gave to his friends who differed from him the credit of the since rity which he claimed for himself, he implored all present to look at it with calmness, not under the excitement of oratory, but as a matter of trade. He had understood that the reso lution of George Thompson would have bedn differently worded. Let them mark that lie (Mr. Sturge) was one of those who went the full 'length of free trade in all legitimate matters of commerce, but he did think, that if it were proper to go into the ques tion now, :he could, without any oratory, show that the stolen produce of the stolen man ought to be treated as stolen produce. But what he would suggest was, that the amendment now proposed be adopted, with this alteration, that they should not suspend their proceedings until a deci sion by the Committee was come to. His objection was, that the course suggested was prejudging the question, on which George Thompson himself had given an opinion in the affirmative. All he asked was, that those friends who took his view of the question, would make that alteration in the 'resolution. Before he sat down he might be permitted to make an observation or two. • The conduct of the Govern ment had been imputed to the Anti-Slavery Society, as though it were their conduct. Now, they only asserted their own principles as far as they could. They did not inquire who those were that supported their principles, if they did what the Society thought right. With respect to them selves, they never pretended to be anything but the repre seutatives of the Anti-Slavery Society, and he saw himself so generally in the minority that when he got into the majority he would think himself wrong. All he wanted was to have a fair consideration of this vital question. . Mr. HOWARD HINTON understood Mr. Thompson to say that, on receiving a pledge on the part of the Committee that that they would consult the constituents of the Society on the revision and alteration of the clause which related to fiscal regulations, that lie would withdraw his amendment. He as a member of the Committee said there was no difficulty in the Committee undertaking to consult the constituency on tuc akx.l.3,•ce. If thcJ did 'tut act reimly, they would be respon sibla_io_aziother meeting-of theft trorlerAeetene.--er-hicte he - ievutct never dare to raise his voice, if there should be any interfer ence in the matter. The members of the CoMmittee were present, and with their acquiescence in that pledge he trusted Mr. Thompson would be satisfied, and withdraw his amendment. Mr. G. TnomPsox wished to say a few words in explana tion. He dill not wish the Anti-Slavery Committee to go to the public at large to learn their principles ; but he wished them not to impose a tax, directly or indirectly, by going to the Government, in reference to fiscal regulations. So much in explanation of what he had said, and next, with reference to the statement of the members of the Committee of their willingness to undertake the reconsideration of the question, he begged to say he consented to withdraw his motion. • The amendment was then withdrawn, and the original re solution put from the chair and carried. The Rev. J. BanNErr (of Camberwell) proposed the fol lowing resolution : " That this meeting deplore the continued existence of slavery in different parts of the earth, especially by professedly Christian nations, which, as in the case of Brazil and Spanish' colonies, is the fruitful cause of the African slave-trade, and all its attendant horrors, and in that of the United States, of an internal slave-trade of the most revolting and cruel character. " That deeply sympathising with the victims of slavery in their sufferings and wrongs, this meeting assert their right to immediate and entire freedom, and emphatically call on the friends of lilerty and justice, th roug h out t h e world, to use their best erts Tor the extinction of a crime which has so long outraged humanity and religion, and which at thg time oppresses and degrades millions of mankind. " That this meeting, nevertheless, sincerely rejoice in the steady progress of the anti-sla v e r y cause i n th e United States of America, and in France, Holland, and other European na tions, where the friends of humanity are nobly exerting them selves in behalf of the wronged and suffering slave. "That in tendering to their fellow-labourers their warm congratulations on the present aspect of their common cause, this meeting would -cherish the hope that the agency em ployed and the information diffused by them may be con stantly and perseveringly directed to promote the imme diate and entire abolition of, slavery in those parts of their respective countries, where it unhappily exists, and generally throughout the world." The Ray. GENTLEMAN commenced by adverting to the diversity of opinion which prevailed in the meeting on cer tain subjects; but he was happy to perceive that the uproarious reception which bad been met with .by a preceding speaker had ended in perfect peace and lamb-like tranquillity?—(Laughter.) In meetings assembled for the great objects of Christian philanthropy, humanity, and pa triotism, there might be storms upon storms, but there could be no permanent antipathy.—(Hear, hear.) All the noise which they had heard was only the noise of every one trying 'to keep his neighbour right.—(Laughter.) It was the noise of downright affection and warm regard. He must say, in justice to the Committee, that before they left their room they agreed to all which had then been done. They must have'agitation, however, about everything—(Laughter)—for theirs were the days of agitation, and it had become a habit of their nature.—(Laughter.) . Now to what did the resolution direct their attention? It directed their attention to a great and important work. If there were any present who con tended that the Anti-Slavery Society should not continue to exist when they had no slaves, he would remind them that though this country had no slaves, slavery had not ceased to exist. The slaves which they had set free in their colonies were but a small minority. There were still two and a half millions of slaves in America, two pillions in the Brazils, and 500,000 in Cuba and Porto Rico. Let them think of six mil lions of people still suffering under the lash notwithstanding all their efforts.—(Hear.) What an overwhelming spectacle. Should he now be asked what did they want with an Anti. Slavery Society ?—(Hear, hear.) Six millions of his fellow men wanted such a Society; and would they refuse their aid to such numbers groaning under bondage ?—( Hear, hear.) He knew they were told that the Government had entered into treaties with different Powers, with Brazil, with Spain, and with Portugal ; but if they left such matters in the hands of Government, verylittle would be done. Govern ments cared more about remaining still in their office chairs, than about exerting themselves. In order to rouse them, they must set the community about them, like a nest of hornets.—(Laughter.) Who was to sting our ownGovern ment(H e a r, in h t ea o r.) e r ß ti n o t n A i f m e n ri o e t a _ the h a A t n t , i v - e S r l e a v t e i r l y ey Society?— say to America ?—(Hear, hear~) There were Christian men in America, who, when they visited this country, laughed at royalty, which they called a pageant, and gloried in the free • dom of an independent republic. But they forgot that' there were two millions and a ha lf of human bein gs in their own country who w ere left ander the lash. If they liked, let them call, the crown a bauble, but he would rather see a crown, b au ble as they considered it, on th e head of a free weman, reigning over a free peo_ple, than see the Declaration of Independence waved over Con gress by the hand of the President of a nation containing slaves.—(Loud cheers.) The independence of the boasted republic was, in such a case, shorn of all its glory, whilst the halo round_ the crown commended it as the emblem of a milder use of power.—(Cheers.) He then adverted to the case of Brown, who had aided the escape of a female slave, and strongly animadverted upon the conduct of the judge a vi s 'li t o ke a comze m nd e e au d a th a e f accusedtakig a to hiscrime. va themediatio mediation ofiol the con S c a l N u i s ou l r he called on the meeting to continue their support on behalf of the Society. The Rev. Mr. KILDoco, President of Knox College in the United States, second e d th e reso l ut i on. H e denied that slavery was a part of the republicanism of America, and de precated its being treated in that light. He also assured the meeting that the . anti-slavery cause was making great pro gress in his own country. Sir GEORGE STEPIIEN, in moving the next resolution, said that he, as an opponent of slavery, and a medber of that Association, should always oppose the introduction of slave grown produce into this country-. The resolution was to the effect that Committees should be formed throughout the country for assisting in the suppression of slavery. • Mr. F. BUXTON rose to second the resolution, and said, as they were anxious to hear Mr. O'Connell, he should not de tain them ; and with respect to Mr. O'Connell he would ob serve, that however they might differ with him in respect to political questions., it was but justice to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to saw, that-no one was more energetic or more consistent in hislostility to slavery, than he was.—(Hear.) In conclusion, he would only observe, that his father, Sir F. ~~ s~ ~_ ~' ~/ .. _ Buxton, although not present, owing to the state of his healthoeas with them in heart and soul.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOSEPH STURGE said that a contribution would now be made in aid of the Society, after which their friend Mr. Da niel O'Connell would address them.—(Applause.) The collection having been made— Mr. O'CoNse.i.i. rose, and was received with the most deafening shouts of applause, which was manifested for some minutes. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then said —The resolution which had been entrusted eto him was gr :O :s t t h e jfneaffssienedtoismft their ation ne d horror countrymen, acsdoemn readt m en o e w T ot • f i h t with feea t e h tlh e . passed upon J. L. Brown; of SOuth Carolina, by Judge O'lklCill. He was a friend to free trade, but nut to a free trade in slaves.—(Cheers.) it was said that if the Brazilian and Cuba sugar were admitted, it would be to this country an advantage of 50 per cent. But was that an argument in favour of traffic with slave owners. There had been in this country a man named Money Moses, who would give you 501. worth of plate for 251. in money.—(Hear, and a laugh.) But was that a gain which honest men and Christians would participate in?—(Hear, hear.) He had not language to express his abhorrence of the conduct of O'Neill.—(l eat hear.) What a name for such a miscreant. —(Cheers and great laughter.) He ought to leave the "0 " out.—(lmmense laughter.) But the language in which his sentence was pronounced was worse than the sentence itself. He polluted the book of God. Just heiven What must be thy look, When such a wretch before thee stands, Unblushing!—with thy sacred book, Turning its leaves with blood stained bands, And wresting from its text sublime His law of hate, and blood, and crime." The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who was most enthusi astically cheered throughout his speech, concluded by moving the resolution. Rev. John Mins seconded the resolution, which was car ried by acclamation. The Rev. JAMES SHERMAN moved the fifth resolution. Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with immense cheering, de fended the views which Mr. G. Thompson had taken of the sugar duties, and contended that the people of America were not all guilty of participation in slavery. The Cumuli - AN; in putting the resolution, declared his opinion that if the differential duties were done away with, the abolition would have the effect of maintaining slavery, and promoting the slave-trade. Mr. G. Timmrsos thought that he had not been fairly treated, and he would new press his amendment which he had before been disposed to withdraw. It was to the effect that. the proceedings of the Committee should be suspended until there should be a general meeting of the Society. After a prolonged and somewhat angry discussion, the amendment was carried. Several other members then. addressed the meeting, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. [Owing to the length of the previous speeches and the press of other matter, we could not find room for a full report of Mr. O'Connell's speech. It will, however appear on Monday.j OPERATIONS AGAINST the WRECK OF THE EDGAR at SPITHEAD. These operations, are superintended by Lieutenant Barlow, 'of the Royal Engineers, acting under the direc tions of Major-General Pasley, who, after removing the remains of the wreck of the Royal George last season, was desirous of removing the guns of the Edgar also, which now form the only obstruction to the anchorage at Spithead, and submitted a plan for that purpose to the Lords of the Admiralty last year, which, having been approved and sanctioned by their Lordships, is now being carri e d i n t o e ff ect at t h e expense of' the naval department. Lieutenant Barlow, according to his orders, proceeded from Woolwich on the Ist of May with a detachment of 25 non commissioned officers and privates of the Royal and Hon. East India Com pany's Sappers - and Miners, volunteers for this ser vice, and conducted them by a river steamboat to Vaux• hall, and thence by the South-Western Railway to Gos port, where they were put on board the Success frigate hulk, whiCh still remains in Portsmouth harbour, the weather having been so unfavourable that she could not be moored at Spithead on that day, as had been proposed. Next morning a number of naval pen sioners and other workmen were engaged, giving the preference to those who had been employed in the opera tions agaiust the Royal George the year before ; after which the Success was sent out to Spithead, and moored to the northward of the wreck of the Edgar, but near it, whilst Nos. 4 and 5 lighters, or lumps, the same that bad been then employed, were moored over it, and the diving com menced bn Saturday, the 4th, but without success. On Monday, the Gth of May, Corporal Jones, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, sent up an iron 18-pounder gun, covered !with an incrustation of mud and pebbles, formed into a sort of conglomerate by the' oxide of iron, with oysters adhering to it, on removing which the metal was so soft, that it could be indented by the nail, and when cut off !and scraped small or pounded, it became extremely hot, and did not cool again for some hours when tied up ip paper. On the 9th, Lance Corporal Girvan sent up the muzzle part of an 18-pounder, which had been broken in two just in front of the trunnions; and on the 10th Coaporal Jones sent up the breech part of another 18-pounder, to which the trunnions were attached, but these fragments belonged to different guns. The above-mentioned corporals are now the only experienced divers eMployed ; but three other military divers beside them work daily on the same spot, who are frequently changed; in order to ascertain those who are most likely to be useful. Some of them have been much distressed, for the depth is 13i fathoms at low water, but others are very premising, the difference between those who fail and those who succeed not depending, however, upon physical l strength, but upon some peculiarity in the eon -.:....tkai-ov—tne Individuals, far thcs- tire men in the prime of life. On Monday, the 13th of May, Major-General Pasley paid his first visit to Spithead, and found everything well arranged and well conducted, as Admiral Hyde Parker, the superintendent of the Dockyard had afforded every necessary aid both in fitments, stores, and men, having sent the same skilful and experienced riggers in the lumps, and having ordered out the Drake sailing lighter to Spithead to receive and load the guns recovered, whilst her master and crew assist in the work. Including the veteran pensioners, the total number cf soldiers, sailors, &c., employed daily is more than 100 ; but the operations will not be so interesting as those of the Royal George, no great charges of gun powder being required, and no large masses of timber remaining. ~ The Edgar was blown up in 1711 by some accident that could never be accounted for, as every soul on board, including numerous visitors from the shore, in addition to 400 seamen and marines, pe rished. The explosion of her magazines having knocked her to pieces before she sank, the tide flowed freely round the parts, so that most of her wood work has been eaten by the worms ; but, unlike the timbers of the Royal George, which were preserved in the stiff blue mud, the little that now remains of the wood work of the Edgar is entirely rotten, and may be broken to pieces by the hand, or penetrated with ease by any sharp instrument. In fact it has the appearance of being charred through, and the first hasty impres sion was that it might have been burned, but this on consideration was impossible, because, though pit of it may have been ser on fire and thrown up into the air, the fire would have floated away on falling, and the oak would have sunk immediately, long before the fire could have penetrated deeper than the surface. Excepting that all the grain of the wood is perfect, it is quite black throughout, like peat. Last year part of the keel and a floor timber of the Edgar were brought up in good preservation; but this year the only sound piece was oak, through which an iron bolt had been driven, which was itself reduced in size to less than a tenth part of its former thickness, but which, as it oxidated, had preserved the parts of the I wood ne'r and round it, but the remainder of the tame piece wa as soft as peat. Some bottles, shot, &c., have also bee got up. . .. . _ . _ . The pipspeet of recovering all the guns of the Edgar in a very short time is by no means so promising as General Pasley and the men employed under him bad anticipated at the end of last season. In the year 1840 no less than 15 iron guns were recovered in a few days, and towards the end of 1843, five more were got up, making 20 in all, one of which was broken, and as they . were all at or near the surface of the anchoring ground, so that no charges of gunpowd er were required to clear any of them, it was natural to conclude that the rest of them would be found with equalon lonly one perfectase. Last u n we n e n l d es t,„ %•or b k r , ok h e o n w e o v n e e r s , e which dis covered, renders speedy success moredoubtful;r e but as those which are not yet accounted for (forty-seven in number) must be at the bottom, General Paste), has directed that the lumps shall be moved from time to time, and that every effort shall be made, by sweep ing with rakes, half-anchor creepers, or otherwise, to fall in with them, for they are not buried like those of the Royal George. But usnttheleaesasenodtanoaofthfleasewrt nest of guns (for so the seamen term a group of guns) shall be , discovered, it will probably t a k e near l y the - red a instead whole s Il s ,a e s as c o o n nfi t d o en r t e ly mo a v n e tic t i h p e a 3 n e o a n r t . I;s' a These iron guns being of no value, the only object that induced Major-General Pasley to propose to the Admiralty to approve of removing them, was to render the whole of the anchoring ground at Spithead available for the use of the Royal Navy, as it was in former times. o f 7 Mr.Wtl h 1 Be: of. haveEdg a r, d w gn hi rse Barrett,i thei addressed adcaotep date d followingot o f tch Portsmouth sni l aemnt extract e ss r i o a nn Dockyard, en Comm i ssio ne r Townsend, announcing Oct.et d e los s bls,y 1 " Hon.

Considering the services which this Society lies performed, the termination of its useful labours must be deeply lamented, though the event will scarcely excite surprise. It arises out of what we fear is a growing feeling 'among those who bravely fought side by side with the present Ministers when in, opposition, and hailed their accession to office as the triumph of sound 'principles ; it has its cause in the "apathy" of the Irish Con'. servatives, and this apathy, according to the chairman of the meeting, has been occasioned by the neglect of their friezes by the Government and the favour shown to their enemies. Disappointed individuals will, no doubt, always be found to make a similar complaint ; but a body, numbering twelve hundred members when Sir Robert Peel acceded to office , cannot universally have be en disappointed ; and we repeat, therefore, that the dissolution of the Irish onservative So ciety can only be looked upon as an expression of disgust at that indiscriminate deference to " gentlemen opposite," which may gain an occasional cheer in the House of Commons, though the public will be slow to reconcile it with an honest and unbending attachment to prineiple.—Post.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN AN TI SLAVERY SOCIETY. The Fifth Anniversary Meeting of this Society took place in:Exeter-hall yesterday. It having been announced for several days previous to the meeting that Lord Brougham would take the chair, intense interest was excited, and the hall was densely crowded. At eleven o'clock the members of the Committee entered the room, and took their seats amidst loud- plaudits. On the platform we observed Sir George Stephen, John Bright, Esq., M.P. ; Sathuel Gurney, Esq., J. Sturge, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Bunting, the Rev. J. Bur net, the Rev. Dr. Jenkyn. the Rev. J. Carlisle, Q. W. Alex ander, Esq., and many other distinguished advocates of the cause. • Mr. J. STUMM said, in the absence of Lordßrougham, I beg to move that Samuel Gurney, Esq., be' requeAed to take the chair: G. W. ALEXANDER seconded the motion, • The announcement involved in this motion' was received with evident diSappointment. The motion itself was car- . ried unanimously. Mr. S6OBLE, the Secretary of the Society, said he had a communication to make to the meeting, in the shape' of an extract from a letter of Lord Brougham to the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. It was as follows : " TO THE ANTI-SLAVERY COMMITTEE. " Privy Council, MaYl6, 1844. " Gentlemen, I feel truly concerned to state that I shall be unable to have the satisfaction of meeting our friends to •morrow. I had, as you are aware, been reluctant to break through my general rule against attending public meetings. But having, in - cousidneation of my ancient con nection with tlie Anti-iavery question, overcome tbai iciti‘- tance, I felt gratified with the prospect of once more find ing myself among our abolition friends, and I had received the thanks of our venerahle Thomas Clarkson. But the con stitution of this Court renders it impossible to find the re quisite number of judges for to-morrow, when important causes come on to be heard, insomuch (hat we are obliged to ask the attendance of an unprofessional member of the Judicial Committee. My being here, therefore, to preside over the business is necessary to prevent public inconve nience and detriment to parties.

When he reviewed the short history of the British and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society, and observed the very useful character of its operations, whether they related to the spreading of sound, true, and unanswerable information on the subject of slavery in different quarters of the globe, or to the protection which the Society had always given to the black population in our own colonies, which population, without that protection, would again have been deeply oppressed ; when he con sidered, again, the Society's watchful care • over all the laws and operations of the English Government, in reference to the slave-trade, , and its great services in furnishing the Government, at all times, with in formation, and using all its influence that that information might be well applied; when 'he considered, again, the great activity of the Society in spreading information on this subject in other countries, whose colonies still kept so large a portion f of their people in a state of slavery; when he con sidered all this, it did appear to him that the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society had fulfilled, with great jude nient and energy, its duty to the public in reference to this matter, and that he would notbe justified in refusing any such assistance as might be in his power to render to the cause by taking the chair.- , -(Cheers.) Their business on that oc casion, he apprehended, was to receive from the. Committee an account of their proceedings during the past year. Many present, he doubted not, had read that well-conducted periodi cal the Anti-Slavery.Reporter. Those who had done so must be well aware that the Committee had been anxiously occu pied during the past year, and he had no doubt they Would receive high satisfaction from the report which was about to be read. Mr. J. STUItGE said he need not offer any apology for reading a letter to the meeting, when he stated that it came froni Thomas Clarkson.—(Cheers.) Though he was now in his 85th year, and had devoted 60 yeah; of his life to the great cause which• they were that day met to promote, he had shown in the last year so much energy in working for it, that he thought it barely possible that he might be present on that occasion. Having written to him on this subject, however, two or three weeks ago, he had received a reply, stating that he must never expect to see him again at a public meeting. He had, however, written a letter, and although it related to only one point, it showed the devotion of his mind to the cause. He ventured to say, that Mr. Clark son had not written less than 100 letters to eminent men on this subject during the past year. He then read the follow ing letter:- " TO JOSEPII STURGE. "My dear Friend,—l can truly, say, in answer to your letter, it is with grief that I am again hindered, by the infir mities of old age, and the painful diseases often consequent upon these, from attending your meeting, which is to be held on the 17th instant. You may easily conceive, knowing, as you do, my entire devotion, during a . longlife; to the sacred cause, which it is the object of your meeting to promote, that nothinggiven e more pleasure than to have attend wouldedit,an av d h toh e me seen ao many friends, whose hearts have long beaten in unison with my own on this great subject " It is very pleasing to me, on reviewing the occurrences of the past year, to be able to state, through yon, to the audience, an event which I consider to have been a prodigious gain to our cause. I allude to the defeat of the application - of the American shareholders under the 10th article of the treaty lately made at Washington between our Government and the President of the . United States. It was evident to me, .on reading the treaty, that it was intended to be appli cable to the refugee slaves, as well as to the white population, who might have fled from justice there. Hence, there was reason tofear that the American planters would take advantage of it to go into Canada, and search for and claim such of their fugitive slaves as might be found, and thus get them restored to slavery; and this was afterwards found to be the case. Now who were these poor fugitives from the horrors of slavery? They consisted, originally, of about 24,000 persons, who escaped at different times. Some of them, when they' fled, were pursued by bloodhounds, and torn to pieces; others were taken alive and carried back, and subjected to cruel torture, even to death ; and others, du ring their journey of many hundred miles, perished by hunger, fatigue, and diseases contracted in their way, so that not more than twelve thousand, or one half, reached their desti nation. These settled themselves, by permission of our Go vernment, in Canada, where they have erected villages, cul tivated the land, built schools for their children, and places of worship for themselves and families, and conducted them selves upon the whole in such an exemplary manner, as to have gained the esteem of the inhabitants among whom they lived. It was to' be feared then that the American planters (and so it turned out) would, under the treaty now men tioned, claim these fugitives by charging them with crimes, often fictitious, and thus that all their industry would have been lost, their villages broken up, their land left desolate, and themselves taken back to a cruel slavery. Ido not remem ber a time during all my anxiety, for now nearly sixty years on this subject, whee, I felt so much and such continued, pain for the fate of the poor people now described. I well know the tortures to which they would have been exposed if given up to their enraged masters. ",I was brooding over these melancholy presages, when on a more minute examination of the 10th article of the treaty, my mind began to be relieved. It seemed to me, on looking over those artieles-which related to the mode of restoring fu gitivecriminals, tkat they were so worded, as to afford- some— thing like a safeguard to the liberty of the intended victims. These victims were happily to be examined before a British >~. PRICE sd. to et of my oble had jog pri' her Wag Mild one! tio , t ipper
