On Monday morning, before nine, a considerable number of persons had assembled in Dover-street for the purpose of catching a glimpse of his Imperial Majesty, who, it was understood, would leave the Embassy (Ashburnham House), at an early.hour, for the purpose of paying various visits. About nine o'clock a party of the C division of police, under Mr. Superintendent Baker, were posted near th e ga t es to _ preserve free ingress and egress, and even at that hour their services were found necessary, several of the nobility and gentry having then called and left their names, and up to twelve o'clock the Influx had been considerable, attended with some inconvenience, arising from the small * size of the lodge, and . consequent difficulty' of access to the books in which the autographs were taken. VISIT TO STORK AND MORTIMER'S. This splendid and unique establishment was the first to be honoured With the" August Emperor's commands. On Sa turday night, as late as twelve o'clock, ainessage was sent to, Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, known as Storr and Mortimer, the eminent jewellers and silversmiths, in New Bond-street, intimating that his Majesty would be there as early as nine o'clock on Monday, morning, which being much earlier than the attendants are usually present, caused some considerable bustle to prepare for his Majesty's reception. Two of the Ral carriages and Colonel Wyld were in Dover street for the service of the Emperor at an early hour, but shortly before ten o'clock they drov e awa y , and in five minutes afterwards the Imperial Monarch proceeded in his private barouche, attended by Baron Brunnow, Count Orloff, and suite, to that celebrated emporium of tastefully arranged gyms and precious metals, Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, and having been conducted over the establishment by the prin cipals, repeatedly expressed his admiration at the beauty of the construction, and the costliness and magnificent display ~of bijouterie contained in this well known establishment. His Majesty concluded his visit by making some most liberal purchases, consisting of valuable diamond and other rings, pins, brooches,, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, seals, chains, &c. His Majesty then proceeded to visit Lord Heytesbury, formerly ambassador to the Court of Russia, and whom his Majesty esteems as a private friend; from thence he pro ceeded to pay several visits to other noblemen who have been connected with Russian diplomatic missions. His Ma jesty left for Windsor Castle at three o'clock. PUBLICATIONS. Immediately will be published, in 2 vols. Bvo., QPAIN and the SPANIARDS in 1843. Q By Captain S. E.

About eleven. on Sunday night a fire commenced at Gravesend, which caused a far more extensive destruction of property than any similar event in that town for the last half-century. It commenced at a small house in West-street, frail the flue of a 'chimney belonging to a shrimp boiler, and quickly communicated to the building, which, as well as the adjoining ones, was constructed principally of wood. The fire spread with great rapidity, and the wind fanned the flames from house to house. The town engines were speedily got into play, as was the engine from the fort, and assisted. in'a very short time by engines from Rochester, Dartford,• and other places, which, on seeing the brilliant blaze caused by the fire, had at once started for the scene of conflagration. The detachments of soldiers lying at Tilbury and at Graves end, rendered every assistance in their power, and were of the greatest service in keeping order'and working the engines. After burning for several hours, and destroying about twenty ae houses, several wharfs, and consuming a vast quantity of materials connected with shipping, the fire was fortunately giktunder. At four o'clock all further danger had ceased. An entire square of building between West-street and the River was eonsumed, and some houses on the upper side of that street were burnt, and others damaged. Considering the nature of the fire, and the place where it occurred, it is ahnOst surprising that the whole of that part of the town of Gravesend was not consumed. We have not heard in what offiqes the property was insured. Tim SHIPPING INTEREST.—A considerable number of seamen belonging to North Shields, on Saturday last; waited on the relieving officer, Mr. Tibbs, to submit to his notice their sad situation, some declaring that for two or three days they had scarcely partaken of the common neces sarieN of life. Their statement was attentively listened to, and a few of them have since been set to break stones in the poor-house at Is. per day—an extent of relief far from ade quate to meet the urgent nature of their requirements. These seamen cannot find employment, many vessels having gone to other ports and fitted out for sea, owing to local causes, which gtherwise would have, in all probability, shipped the most of those poor but worthy and industrious men. On Wedneilay a number of keelmen also applied, who, on being offered Work in the collieries declined. MOuNTAINs ON FIRE. —The Cork Reporter of Tuesday Contains the following passage from a letter received from a arrespondent at Mitcheistown :—" The Galties are are all in ablaze for hundreds of acres together ; one sheet of flame every night; a most splendid sight. • The flame will be entirelvturned out. Several attempts have been made, to stop the Are. by digging trenches across, with great labour and numbers of iten ; but it breaks out again in other places, when the wind rises. Galtirnore is on fire to the, very top, near the Engineers' Obelisk." INCOMIP•TAX ASSESSMENTS.—The following notice has been issued by order of the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes to the different assessors appointed under the new In come Tax Act sth and 6th Victoria, both in the City of London, and the parishes within the bills of mortality of this great metropolis :—" As to the assessments made in the -year 1842, under schedules A and B, in respect to lands, tenements, &c., they are to ' 'remain in force for three years, from the. sth of April in that year, no return is required to be made forithe present year undtr the schedules, except in cases where lands, SW./ him been omitted to be 'charged in.the as sessments already (made, or where new buildings have since been erected." . -- • 5,000 3,000 JOURNEY OF THE EMPEROR • NiCHULA . Wpm:tyro!, SATURDAY, Altnxicire.—llis Imperial Ma jesty, Y.cliolas the First, Emp rur of all the Ilussias, attended by General Count Orloff; and a numerous suite, left Rotter dam at half-past tuo o'clock on Friday afternoon for Eng land, in the Dutch Government steamer Cyclops, Captain Ba'ken, and arrived off the royal d.,ckyard at ten minutes to ten o'clock this evening. The Emperor reached the Hague on Thursday night, from Berlin, and left that place on th e f o llowing morning for Rot terdam, accompanied by 31. Ryk, the Minister of the Navy to the King of Holland. His Impel ial Majesty embarked about two o'clock. in the Cyclops. The 31erassie, Captain Bears, and the - Cerberus, Lieutenant liar, also Government steamers, in the seralce of the King of Holland, being apprc , priated to the accommodation of the various members of the Emperor's suite, and to the conveyance of the royal carriages and bag gage. - At half-past two o'clock the squadron left Rotterdam, M. Ryk accompanying the Emperor as far as Ileivoetsluya, where the Cyclops cast anchor at eight o'clock in the even ing, when that officer took leave of his Majesty. At three on Saturday morning, the royal squadron set sail for Eng land. Considerable uncertainty Ipid - prevailed as to the exact - period it which the Emperor would arrive, and Baron Brun now, the Rust inn Minister at the Court of London, went down to Woolwich at an early hoar on Saturday, for he purpose ofbeing in readiness to receive his Majesty at any time. Baron Brunnow was accompanied by the itossiait Consul- General, Le Chevalier Benkhausen, and both these gentlemen took up their quarters at the residence of the Captain-Su perintendent, Sir Francis Collier, in the dockyard, where they slept last night, At an early hour this morning they were upon the parade, in .the full expectation of the EM peror's immediate arrival. General Lard Bloomfield, the Comniantdant of the garrison ; Sir Janres Collier, the Captain Superintenedntoftlie dockyard, and Major-General Cubbage. Were also in waiting to receive the illustrious tourist. intelligence as to his Majesty having left the Continent, however, arrived during the day, and. all was uncertainty up to the.last moment, when just before ten o'clock, the Royal squadron `vas observed by the men on the look-out coming up Woolwich Reach. Sir Francis Collier immediately put off in.•his barge for the purpose of conveying Baron Brunnow and the Chevalier Benkhausen .on board the Cyclops to pay their respects to the Emperor, and in a very few moments returned with his Imperial Majesty And Count Orloff, who landed at the dock yard stairs, and at once proceeded do the Captain-Superin tendent's residence to await the arrival of the carriages which had been ordered for the conveyance of the Royal party to London. • The Emperor was attired in the Russian costume—his commanding figure being enveloped in'the ample folds of a rich cloth cloak, trimmed with fur, while upon his head lid wore a sort of turban.: - His. Majesty is upwards of sixtfeet high and of' robust appearance. As the Royal partyferossed the parade, it was impossible to avoidbeing struck with the remarkable appearance the. Emperor presented. His tall' ,manly figure and, o p e n countenance set off 6' the greatest possible advantage by the mode of dress adopted, was in itself sufficient rvnri to i s g tatu ,. at Sir Phialas a truly royal per sonag e. On aFrancis Collier's residence, the Emperor was met by Lord Bloomfield, with whom his Majesty con versed for some time, and after expressing his acknowledg ments to- the Captain Superintendent for the attention which had been shown towards him, at half-past ten entered Baron Minnow's' carriage in comfuiny with General Count Orloff, ' and drove rapidly off towards to w n. The following is a list r o a f thesuite n t accompany n ose the Emperor to En g l an d :—Gene e r g d Etat and Adjutant t o hi s I m p er ial Majesty; GeneralAillerberg, Prince Raelziwill, Prince Was selchikoft, and Captain Adlerberg, the three latter officiating as Aides-de-Cainp to the Emperor; and Dr.. Reinolds, . his Imperial Majesty's private physician. The:Emperbf having expressed_ a wish, through - Baron Brunnow, that his arrival at Woolwich should take place as privately as possible, no royal salute was fired when his Ma jesty landed, nor was there any guard of honour in attendance. ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AT THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY. The Emperor of Russia, attended by General Count Orloff, arriVed at Baron l3runnew's residence, in Dover-street, it a quarter past eleven o'clock p t r b e e ci A se n ly lb , ass on ad S o a r t ,s tirday evening. His. Imperial Majesty travelled in car riage, drawn by four post-horses and upon leaving Woolwich took the lower road, through Greenwich and New. Cross, by Camberwell and Kennington, to the West-end of London. Upon arriving at the Embassy, the Emperor was received in the entrance-hall by the Baroness Brunnow and by the Ambassador's secretaries, M. C. de Kotidriaffsky and M. de Berg. His Majesty shook hands cordially with the Baroness, and was subsequently conducted to the suite of apartments prepared for his reception. At a later period the Em perorar- rived in town from Woolwich, with - Chevalier Benkhausen partook of coffee with the Baron Brunnow , who and the other members of his Majesty's suite,. shortly after eleven o'clock. The Emperor retired bi rest before midnight. The Emperor's attendants .and several members of his suite were accommodated in the various hotels in the neighb , urhood. VISIT OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY TO THE QUEEN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Yesterday morning the Emperor rose shortly after eight o'clock, and breakfasted in his private apartment with a limited number of his suite before nine. After breakfast his Majesty walked in the gardens at the rear of the embassy for some time, unattended by any members of his suite. Precisely at half-past nine o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Major-General Bow'ater and the lion. Captain Murray, arrived at the embassy from Buck ingham Palace, in one of the Royal carriages, on a visit to the Emperor. His Imperial Majesty was in the act of descending to re ceive his Royal Highness when loath illustrious individuals met on the grand staircase. Their meeting was of the most affectionate and cordial character. The Emperor threw his arms round the neck of the Prince Consort, and embraced him fervently, Prince Albert returning his salute with great apparent feeling% The Emperor then led his Royal guest into the drawing room of the mansion, where they remained engaged in con versation. for a considerable period. The EMperor inquired affectionately after the Queen, and expressed an earnest hope that his sudden arrival in. England would not' be allowed to inconvenience her Majesty • and the Prince in any way— adding that lie purposed to remain at any rate for a short period in the mansion he then occupied. The Prince upon this was understood to intimate that no inconvenience could possibly result by the ith too thek iris w hole depn of tune, his ur e, suite.pr6m promising t ten return o'clock Emperor's immediate removal to the Palace.

Shortly before eleve n o ' clock, the - Emperor, accom panied by General Count Orloff, 'Baron Brunnow, and ot her members of his suiteriefe Ashburnham House, to attend Divine service at, the chapel of the Russian Emba ss y,in The chapel was not unusually crowded, probably owing to the visit of the Emperor being altogether unexpected. The service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Popoff- At its conclusion the illustrious'partv returnectto the Em bassy, arriving there at a few minutes after one o'clock. The Earl of HardwickN one of the Lords in Waiting to her Majesty, Lieut.-Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in Waiting, and Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Al bert, arrived at Ashburnham House abut half-past twelve o'clock, and. upon the return of the Ein;;eror from chapel we re introduced to his I mper i a l 11f a j estv ' . The Noble Earl informed the Emperor that he had received for himself and the two above-named officers her Majesty's commands to be in attendance upon the Emperor during his stay in this country. The Emperor was pleased to express his thanks for the attention shown to him, and conversed with the Noble Earl for some time. At half-past one o'clock precisely his Rod al Highness Prince Albert returned to the Embassy, on this occasion accompanied by. Sir Robert Peel. The carriage containing the Prince and Sir Robert Peel drove into the court yard of the mansion, when his Royal Highness alighted, and,. w ith Si r R o b er t Peel, entered the hall. Here they were met by the Emperor, and the Prince having presented the Premier to his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor shook hands heartily with Sir Robert. The Emperor then entered the Prince's carriage, and, to gether with his Royal Highness, drove off towards Bucking ham Palace. .. Sir Robert Peel rodq in the second carriage, with General Count Orloff and General Adlerberg, several members of the Emperor's suite following in other carriages. There were very few persons assembled in Dover-street at this period to witness the departure of the Royal coOige,. and no manifestation of loyalty took place beyond a respectful uncovdring of heads, as the illustrious individuals passed out at the gates. On arriving at Buckingham Palace the Emperor was pre sented to her Majesty by Prince Albert. His Imperial Ma.. jesty subsequently partook of a splendid dffenner to which the Queen invited him, and afterwards paid a visit to the King of Saxons', in his apartments at the Palace. At half-past two the Royal carriages were again ordered to the gates for the purpose of conveying the Pataperor on a round of visits to the various members of the Royal family, and at twenty-five minutes to three his Imperial Majesty entered the first carriage, accompanied by his Royal High ness Priece Albert. In the secondearriage rode General Count Orloff and Baron Brunnow, and four other carriages were filled by the Em peror's 'suite. • . A great many persons bad by this time assembled in the park, and as the Royal cortege made its• egress from the marble arch in front of the palace, although the illustrious 'party were not greetedwith vociferous cheering, there was a general and respectful obeisance performed by the male por tion of the spectators, while the softer Sex exhibited their loyal feelings by waving of handkerchiefs, &C., all which manifestations were graciously acknowledged by the Emperor. The Royal party first proceeded to Marlborough House to pay a visit to the Queen Dowager, and thence went to Cambridge House, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with a call. The next visit made was to .her Royal Highness the Duchess • of Gloucester,. in Park-lane, and from thence the carriages proceeded through Hyde-park to Kensington, where the Emperor visited her Royal High ness the Princess Sophia. Returning along the Park-road the Royal cortege met the King of Saxony, who was proceed ing to the. Princess's residence in one of the Royal carriages, attended by his suite in several others. lie two Monarchs recognised and bowed to each other as the carriages passed, and at this period the effect of the dazzling Royal liveries and splendid equipages was most striking. The Emperor then proceeded to Apaley House to honour his Grace the Duke of Wellington with a visit. The Gallant Duke descended to the hall to receive his Imperial Majesty and the Prince Consort, himself conducting them to the splendid saloon on the first floor of the mansion. The Em peror appeared delighted to meet the Gallant Duke, and after shaking hands v ery cordially with him, entered into canversation for some minutes, complimenting his Grace on the splendour of his mansion and its appurtenances Thence the Royal cortege drove back to the Embassy where the Emperor alighted and took leave of the Prince Consort, not, however, before he had promised to accept an invitation to dine with the Queen and his Royal Highness at Buckinghain Palace last evening.

A special general meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society convened by the following circular, metyesterday at Exeter Hall, hi the Lower Room, at eleven o'clock _ ' "British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, " 27, New Broad-street, May 23, 1844. • " At a special meeting of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, held at No. 27, • New Broad street, on Wednesday- evening, the 22d -instant, it was resolved : _ _ _ " That a .special general meeting of the members of the British dnd Foreign Anti• Slavery Society be summoned, in conformity with the Bth rule of its constitution, to meet at Exeter Hall,. London, on Monday, the 3d of June next, at eleven o'clock in the morning, 'to consider that part of the constitution of the Society, which pledges it to the adoption of fiscal regulations ix favour of free labour.' " As a member of the Society, according to the sth rule of its constitution, you are respectfully invited to attend. This circular, which is not transferable, will be your ticket of admission to the said special general meeting, on inscribing your name and address, iii a book to be prepared for the pur- pose, at the Bell, " I am, yours respectfully, "JOHN SCOBL E, Sec." _ _ _ Among those present we observed, Johu Bright, Esq., M.P., Joseph Sturge Esq., Rev. J. H.' Hinton, J. Scoble, and several other friends of the Anti-slavery cause. Oil the motion of Mr. E. Satan, of Sheffield, seconded by Mr. J. J. GURNEY, SAMUIP. TUKE, Esq., was called to the chair. After some short preliminary discussion, the Secretary read an explanatory statement of the course pursued by the Com mittee of the British and Foreign. Anti-Slavery Society, in relation to fiscal regulations in favour of free labour. The Rev. J. J. Ilisnrosi then rose, to bring under their con sideration an entire class of measures in regard to the slavery cause. A principle which had been admitted from the be ginning of the formation of the Society was now called in question. The • interests of humanity were involved in the decision to which they were about to come. There had, no doubt, come over the public mind a change of opinion on this subject. The subject of free trade had not ac quired the hold of the public mind at the time the Society was.foimed which it had ut present. After the instruction at the last general meeting it was impossible to leave the ques tion undiktissed.. He believed that all parties, too, were equally arixi ms for the extinction of slavery. The question did not relate to any particular measure, it related to the principle. whet her or not it were proper to adopt fiscal regula tions in favour of free labour. Fiscal regulations in favour of free labour were powerful as an expression of popular opinion against slavery. It was a practical discountenance of slavery, and the force of public opinion thus expressed was very great. To be added to that was the pecuniary disadvantages applied to slavery and the slave trade by adoption of these regulatisie. These regulations fostered the growth- of a commercial principle, antagonistic to slave labour, and as slave labour was dearer than free labour, the latter would eventually drive slave labour from the field. w These erei lie reasons in favour of fiscal regulations favour able to free labour. One of the main objections made to this principle was, that it must be maintained by force. They required to be maintained by , force no otherwise than all other fiscal regulations. To object to it on this ground was to object to taxes, police, judges, and juries. The Society was pledged to pacific measures, but that meant not ,warlike measures. War, not force, was the antithesis of peace. He admitted:that, other things being equal, free labour was cheaper than slave labour; but be did not see the inconsis tency withwhich they were charged. They might still call upon them to cut short the struggle between free labour and slave label!: by fostering the •fer Mer. But was free ,arthpresent e si, i m on as an ter e l c i t a n d alit:v greater i tion than the masters o f fro 3 men. The two elements there fore were not in a fair state of competition, and it was neces sarytlisla facilitiesve labour to a contest of this kind, he should feel he was recreant to hurnanity.—(Cheers.) The last objection was that slavery to foster free labour, and if they put free labour and slave would be equally aggravated by the admission of free labour produce into the Brit ish markets. The argument was, that c ommerce like the ocean would find the level. New:how ever true might be this commercial, argument, it l e ft t h e moral argument untouched. Let the Blare-holders get rich if it pleased Prey idence,•but it was necessary . to his own purity m that he should not encourage them. _ The ere - med. demand would be supplied not solely from Brazil but from the world u sl t av fr el m abo t u h r e produce Thitish at large, partly Imin Brazil and partly from other countries, keepinghb y u t slave pen nt fhg l r a ce labour o oa t l i t r i tebi sugar ogrua formertpr ro u of - d o ;t u ic l would ee Itl best snore s teh h ot m u : laadnr o k b e e t i remembered t hew o thatand market, which was the best market in the world, and we sti mulatedn the Government measure with regard to sugar was 114 the measure asked for by the Society. What they asked for was that .free labour sugar should be admitted without any diAcrimin.ating duty. It appeared to him, therefore, that there We're valid reasons for maintaining fiscal regulations in favour of free labour, and that the arguments used against it were of no validity. It was admitted on all sides that the admission of slave labour produce would stimulate slavery and the slave trade, and this would be uncompensated for by anything whatever. " But it was contended that the adop tion of free trade was in fact the shortest and surest course for doing away with slavery. He was sorry to be'obliged to say to that—not proven. It was said that the force,of anti lavery opinion.would reach the Brazils if we took the sugars. IVhv, it did not even pervade England. Shackles were made in ilinningliam—cotton in Glasgow—the Zuluetas char tered vessels to Africa. The trade in cotton with England had doomed Texas to slavery. Texan slavery was the spawn of free trade. Unrestrict6d commerce never had freed the slave, and never would. Bringing happiness and pros perity where labour was free, it • brought misery, wretched ness, and destruction to the slave—unrestricted trade. Let the thief expose his plunder for sale in the streets—let slave ships again go forth from our ports, and the trade in man be as free as any other. No ! [rade must have its restric tions. • lie begged to move the following resolution That in the judgment of this meeting, that portion of the fourth rule of the Society, which requires it to promote the adoption of fiscal regulations in favour of free labour' ought to be confirnied." _ _ _ Mr. J. J. GURNEY seconded the resolution. HO doubted whether it was competent to change the fundamental com pact in which they were united, and he considered that. the discussion at the last meeting was out of order. He doubted whether it was competent to them to alter the con stitution of the Society without the unanimous consent of the general body. Any alteration would bring in a certain amount of sugar front:Cuba - tmd Brazil, and that would re present a certain amount of the blood and sufferings of our i'ellow-creatures. Ile had seen the sufferings of the slaves in the Barracoons of Cuba, where the planter would take the stronger animal to his estate and work him to . death. Their duty was plain—it was to do all they could to discourage slavery, and therefore to support fiscal regulations in favour of foreign produce. It was not a question of free trade, but of morality.and religion. He would leave the Committee if the resolution was not carried. _ _ _ Mr. SMITH, of Sheffield, rose to address the meeting. If he could have pinned his faith upon any set of men, it would have been upon his friends on the platform; but, having carefully considered the subject, he had come to a diametri cally opposite conclusion. This question involved the exer cise of the right of private judgment. The question was as to the best mode of carrying out the anti-slavery prin ciple. The adopting fiscal regulations involved the principle of applying to Government to inflict a pecuniary penalty upon those who differed with them in opinion. They had no right to do this. He held it was not the best course for any philanthropic body to apply to Government to carry out its views. The society which sought such aid fettered their operations and became mixed up with political parties. Where was the principle to end? Was it the province of Government to interfere in this way? No! They had too much Government meddling already. If they had a right to go to Government to carry out their views, so had any other body a fig - ht to ask for the imposition of a tax to carry out their v i e ws. They were establishing .a dangerous precedent, and by thus acting they were placing the anti-slavery principle at issue with other great principles.—(Cheers.) Free trade was phi lanthropy upon its noblest basis. It was said it was a diffi cult thing to ask Government to maintain existing duties and to impose fresh duties. The principle was the same. He denied the existence of any such distinction as that now sought to be established.—(dear.) He did not hesitate to say that if they succeeded in their non-intercourse with Brazil, they would inflict upon the population of Sheffield and Manchester a degree of suffering of which they had no idea. Sheffield was reduced almost to a state of desolation by these fiscal regulations. If they ceased to buy, they must cease to sell, and by re fusing to buy Brazilian sugar they tied up the hands of the Sheffield workman, and prevented him earning his living by his labour. These men thought the sympathies of the Society should not be carried to the other side of the water only. They demanded their sympathy—not their alms, but their assistance—to enable them to earn their own living. He considered that their plan was ineffectual for the suppression of slavery in the Brazils, be cause nothing was more delusive than certificates of origin. They would continually have forged certificates, and a re gular system would arise of defeating the law. Now, accord ing to our treaty with America, we should be bound to take the slave-grown sugar of Louisiana on the most favourable terms. It was true that Louisiana did not produce more than enough for its own consumption ; but Cuba sugar might be imported into Louisiana, and the whole of the Louis iana sugar might find its way into this country. Would you take stolen goods? it was said. He knew no difference be tween the receiver and the thief; and he could not make any difference between the man who took Russian tallow, know ing that it was purchased by Brazilian sugar, or he who wore American cotton and the man who received Brazilian sugar directly. But then it was admitted that all that was wrong ; but they wished not to do any more wrong. Let them first take the mote out of their own eye before they attempted to takethe beam out of their brother's eye. They were not in a position to go to the Government and ask them to impose a pecuniary fine upon those who differed with them in opinion. He should therefore move, as an.amendment, that the clause in question be annulled. _ . _ _ kr. Jorix BRIGHT, M.P., rose to second the amend inent. It would be observed that with respect to this question there were many points on which they were agreed. They were all agreed in opinion as to their detestation of the horrors of slavery and the slave trade. They were all agreed that prima facie it would be better to have a free impor tation of sugar and of every other commodity. It would be admitted that freedom of trade conduced to maintain the peace of the world, and that restriction produced first the war of tariffs, and then the war of force; but it was said that this was an exception. If they refused to hold intercourse with nations holding slaves, they ought also to refuse to hold intercourse with nations committing crimes of other kinds. Now, that was an un tenable principle. If they refused the produce ofßrazil, they should adopt tLe same rule with respect to Russian and Egyptian produce. The produce of land which was stolen, was as much stolen goods as the produce of labour which was stolen ; therefore they ought to refuse the produce of our West Indian Islands, and of the United States. He considered the Wrinciple absurd, but if they adopted it they s h ou ld carry i t out. hey were told they were increasing national guilt. Who were to be the judges of national guilt? He denied that we were increasing national guilt, or the right of any body of men to call on the Government to interfere to make them nationally moral in that respect. Everybody was anxious to send more of our cutlery to Brazil. We exported large quantities of goods to the Brazils, and received in return sugar, a portion of which was refined in bond, and a portion taken to foreign countries. Our ships took sugar from Brazil to Russia, and purchased leather, and tallow, and flax, and brought them to this coun try. Did not the gentleman, therefore, who lit his candle, or wore his shoes, or put on his shirt, incur the same amount of guilt as if he used .Brazilian sugar?—(Loud cheers.) There was no guilt in either. Then came the question of the stimulus to the slave trade. Now he did not admit that the total abolition of all discriminating duties would stimulate slavery, although he was willing to admit it for the sake of argument. The Committee admitted that they petitioned Go vernment in favour of the admission of free-labour sugar. Now that would give quite as great a stimulus to slavery as the admission of all sugar, without distinction. There was no essential difference between the effect on slavery of the pro position made by the Committee and that of the free traders. The free-labour sugar of Java was in the markets of the world competing with Brazilian sugar, and selling at the same price. It was absurd to say that ours was a better market than any other—we did not give a higher price than any other parties ; it was clear that the price here must be re gulated by that Arced. The free-labour sugar which now went to Germany would come here, and Its place there would be supplied by slave-labour sugar. 'With regard to Lousianian sugar it should be remembered, that every Lousianian planter exporting a hogshead of sugar was entitled to receive a hogshead of Cuba sugar free of duty; that would set free the whole of the Louisianian sugar, which we were bound to take by treaty at the lowest rate of duty. Let them see the argument which they were giving to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a planter, and the President of the Board of Trade, a planter; they were giving them every inducement to continue slavery in Brazil, in order to keep up their own monopoly, which would of coarse fall whenever slavery should fall in the Brazils. They made the Government odious abroad. The Brazils knew that the Government was not sincere, and therefore they viewed them in the light of hypocrites. It was no light mat ter for the Committee to weaken the exertions of the friends of the anti-slavery cause in this country, by dividing it upon this question. It was giving a weapon to monopoly, and monopoly was but a milder form of slavery. They were abetting a crime of precisely the. same nature as that which they warred against, although it might not come in so hide ous a form. At the' late meeting there was manifested a strong feeling in favour of the abrogation of that clause; and the Committee should recollect, that however conscientious and honest might be their scruples, those scruples were not participated in by the bulk of those classes who had been the very backbone of the anti-slavery movement in this country. They had no right to inflict upon the poorer class t of this country the sufferings which th ey were inflicting onhem by the course they were pursuing. If they persisted in carrying out this most unreasonable proposition there was scarcely an individual in the counties of York or Lancaster who could give the Society his cordial support. Throughout the king dom there was a difference of opinion with the Committee. It was not essential, and why, therefore, should they a l ai_ nately adhere to it. He was sorry to hear from 402epti John Gurney, as be had from others, that they would w ith_ draw unless this resolution were carried. He doubted whether the present was the sort of meeting in which the question ought to be discussed. The question lag been carried by a large majority in Exeter Hall against the reso lution. The Government were making of the Coin • mittee: as their tools merely—.had no sort of affection for them—and would throw them oft as soon as it might suit their purpose, Mr. LEFROY conSi4eied that the admissiop, a slave labour sugar would effect the repeal of all the laws which they had passed for floe abolition of slavery. Mr. Bright said that this metter would interfere with the commercial policy of the country ; but if that gentleman thought so, surely the best means would ho to apply f6r a remedy for this evil to the Legislature, and not impede the great Christian movement for the abolition of the slave t ra d e , Ile would trouble the meeting no further than by protAtieg strongly against any measure that would present auy obstruc tion to the negotiations which the Society might enter into with the Government.—(Cheers.) A long discussion hezfo rasa upon the proposition of ad journing t . 4Q l'lli.'ettug until four o'clock, which was support:4 fly Ali. [Wage Thompson, Mr. Bright, and the majoriii of the meeting, and eventually carried. The meeting resumed at half-past three o'clock, although it was understood to have been adjourned for an hour from three o'clock, After a few words from Mr. Atxx.onaxn, Mr. G. Ttioawsox said he *it assured that slavery, in its most odious form, existed In the production of other articles of trade; but they now sought to induce the meeting to be— lieve that the Government ought to discriminate the partica laiarticlee which should be consumed by the great mass of p_,- - a/-6/2 ..,_.,, ...7% • v / . / ------- 4 /e -- • --- e___,-e - /-st , A . zi.c.„J" TsiTss It" -. • • . ssr ~ ,,,.4%, A the people.

The great mass of the people were opposed to such a course ; and they never committed . power into the hands of - Government for any such purpose. No justification could. be given for limiting free trade, or preventing the people from purchasing this sugar while. there were so many other slave-grown ar ticles in consumption in this country. He regretted to hear some of his friends pronounce those to be new tangled doc trines and suggested that'they should go hack to the days of Wilberforce. He thought that for the protection of liberty and philantroplis; the Government was called upon to interfere with such fiscal regulations as' would discourage the slave trade.—(Cheers.) - Mr. S. BOWLING thought that it was not right to attribute error or sin to others because their conduct might be contrary ' to the views of the objectors., He denied that the effect would press so heavily upon the artisans of Leeds and other ' large manufacturing towns, as had been represented by his i friends, Messrs. Bright and Thompson. He could not under stand why the minority now—supposin it to be a minority —had not quite as much . right to appe.l to the Government now•a-e Clarkeon had to appeal almost unsupported for the abolition of slavery. • Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY did not believe that the majority of the people of England, if they knew the case thoroughly, would agree to a free admission of all descriptions of sugar. He had too high an idea of the people of England to believe that. The general prosperity of Cuba would he considered be materially and rapidly increased if slavery were abolished in that country, although some planters and even persons in authority there might think otherwise. Ha shodld 'next allude to the consequences that arose from the free inliniseion of sugar from Brazil and Cuba to this country. The measure proposed to Parliament by Sir R. Peel did not in any way emanate from the anti-slivery party ; at the same time lie (Mr. Gurney) would assert that it would cause the admission of but a very small portion of slave.. grown sugar, although it might cause some increase of con sumption upon the continent of Europe. He hoped that the Anti-Slavery Society would at all times use their influence, and that influence was great with the Government, to adopt. such meastires as would put an end to slavery.(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANSTEY regretted to see so small a meeting. After reflecting upon the matter with much attention he felt bound to say that his conscience compelled -him to vote for the • . amendment. With respect to discouraging slave-grown pro- • - -••• s , - duce by abstaining from the ute of it, he for one'-could be "ate : . most anxious to adopt any practical mode for carrying it into l' .. effect. Mr. Brstrn said he considered it to be the duty of Govern - ment to discriminate between the dishonest and the honest man ; between the man who raises his produce by slave labour and him who does it by free labour. After a few words from Mr. J. STURGE, in support of the original motion, Captain STUART contended that commercial slavery would not exist without there were consumers of the slave-grown articles, who acted as employers of the slave traders. He entreated the meeting to disregard what had fallen from Mr. Thompson, and recollect the final account they would hands aa The se t o ue. e r ir e te, n t i d hm e e i idA o uN f p pi their nuti t e ts o hf n ea d v i ao ic um t re. i nt encourag ing amendment, ltnext when ptit s lavery.th only oriBB , i, v en original motion, in favour of which 82 persons voted: After the Chairman declared the original motion to be carried, a vote of thanks was passed to him, and the meet ing separated. • SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The prison doors have closed upon O'Connell, and upon those who took a prominent part with him in the repeal agitation. Pending the decision of the House of . Lords on the writ of error which is to come immediately before it—and which may even pronounce illegal the very judgment by which the parties are suffering—it might be deemed impertinent, if not presumptuous, in us to raise an argument upon the points which await the deci sion of such a tribunal. The attention of the legal profession in both countries will be fastened upon the pmceedings in error ; and the people of those countrie.s, but especially those of Ireland, will await, with breathless anxiety, the decision which will reverse, or affirm, the judg ment pronounced by the Court of Queen's Bench in that country. The doubt that still rests on the legal validity of the proceedings in no respect diminishes the responsibility of the Government to public opinion, nor exonerates it from the censure which it has justly incurred by the prosecution. The former is solemn ; the latter is severe. At no period of the agitation whence the Government affected to apprehend danger—which, had it really felt, would have led to an earlier interference with the " monster meetings" —was the peace of Ireland so fearfully perilled as when O'Connell was conducted from the bar of the Court to the prison to which he, with his coadjutors, was doomed for taking part its those meetings. Whether the law was really stretched beyond its due limits to reach the leaders of the Re peal movement, or whether it was merely extended to its utmost length, in order that it alight reach them, we will not now argue. One thing is certain—the ingenuity of the most skilful sophists has been tried, and has not pre vailed, to mystify the long-delayed interference of the Go vernment,or to avert the conclusion which flows from it. The meetings were spread over a period of several month& They amounted to forty-nine in number. No interference on the part of the Executive gave notice of any apprehension of dan ger to the public peace, or of desire on the part of the autho rities that they should be discontinued. The legality of the object for which the meetings were held was admitted. The constitutional right of meeting was unquestioned, and un questionable. If the mere question of numbers diminished or vitiated the right, the Government was bound to ad monish, to warn, and—if in its dscretion it thought pro per to proceed • to that extent—te prohibit, the meetings, Not a single breach of the peace had occurred at, or had arisen out of, any one of the numerous meetings, No sooner did the authorities intimate their will and I , leseure that the "monster meetings" should cease to be held, and is sued a proclamation to that effect, than it was obeyed. With a promptitude that deserves to be mentioned to his honour— with an earnestness which attested his anxiety, O'Connell exhorted and commanded the masses over whom be ex exercised an absolute control, to return every man to his own home. The implicit obedience yielded to the proclama tion, by which the Clontarf meeting was prevented, is the best possible proof that had a similar interference on the part of the Government been deemed necessary at an earlier period, a shriller submission to the constituted au thorities would have been shown. The public tranquillity was placed in much more peril by the imprudent, if not preconcerted, lateness of the hour at which the procla mation was issued—allowing of scarcely an opportunity of preventing the coming multitudes from reaching the ap pointed rendezvous—than by any or even all the meetings that had preceded it. Whatever had been the calamitous consequences of an accidental collision between the military and a part of the people, coming —as they had b een wont to come,' without expectation of interruption, and with out intention of harm—the Government would have been the direct occasion of the calamity. Not a single overt act alleged against O'Connell, in support of the conspiracy charged upon him and his coadjutors, bears so suspicious an appearance as the issuing of the proclamation, at the late hour at which it appeared, does against the Irish Government. But for the promptitude and energy with which its manifest ten dencies wore counteracted by the address that O'Connell drew up, printed, and dispersed among the multitudes when on their way to the meeting, the plains of Clontarf might have become an Aceldama, and the history of that day's doings have been written in blood. On the head of the Government must rest the blame of the long-continued agitation. History will pronounce upon the character of the policy by which the Government has sought to su s t a i n i tself in 'lreland, if the immediate consequences of that policy do not show how ill suited were its measures to establish order among ita inhabitants, STANDARD.—The debate of Friday night suggests two considerations. First, whether it IS proper to protect public worship from outrage by offe..nces less than b reac h o f t h e peace. Secondly, whether better and cheaper tribunals for causes testamentary than the ecclesiastical courts can be found, for it will not be enough to show that those courts have faults, except some means of amending these faults be proposed, and some better courts substituted. Now, with reference to the first point, it will not be disputed that public worship may be scandalised and interrupted by many things short of breach of' the peace, by many things that constitute no common law offence. Is there to be no protection against such scandals and offences, or if it is proposed to guard against, them, will it be quite safe to enlarge the present Juris diction of the lay tribunals, as t o th e construction of what is decorous or indecorous in public worship —to refer the matter. for example, to police magistrates. We very much doubt whether this would be a step in forewent libertatis. As to the causes testamentary, we know not what tribunal can be substi tuted for the ecclesiastical courts in such cases, except the courts of equity. Causes testamentary are precisely of that kind which the ordinary tribunals of the country cannot entertain, because they have not the necessary mathinery, of and a a d r i e, ffe i r n en a t li k r i e n s d pe o c f ts, qu fr e a st m io e ns d . wi E th ve a ry vi t e h w ing to , t in he fit l e itig to atio b n e properly the object of a common-law suit, must be reduced f t a o e , one or or essi b u y i a more both; distinct bot definite issues, c w a h us e e t s her cann of e la t w i) :e r Le duced to such distinct issue or issues.

Does UOt this look very like fold a nd y contradiction? One word upon the question of costs, Why are the costs so heavy ? The Legislature ,has abandoned its charges upon suitors, by the remission of stuup duties; the judges, we believe, are seriously deairona to reduce the amount of costs ; the bar has surrendered a-great deal of its pro fi ts ; still costs have 'ilti4rgone no sensible diminution, if they have not rather increased. This it' a riddle which we believe every unprofessional man wishes to see solved, but which, as we have reason to know,riven eminent lawyers cannot solve. The late chief Baron Abinger having, about two or three yeare age, declared from the 'bench, that it was impossible to run up the costs of writ, declaration, and interlocutory judgement beyond live pounds, a friend, the protector of a poor man persecuted by a shark, assured the Noble Baron, 'whom he met the next dayat dinner, that these costs lied been, in a very simple case, run up to ten pounds. Lord Abinger expressed his disbelief. On a subsequent day. however, the hill of costs, regularly taxed at 101. 11s, 4ci., was presented to him : he examined the items, shook hia head, and came to the conclusion that until the whole system of costs is changed, so as to make excessive charge penal, the Legislature and the Bench must labour in vain. llxv Pncuric has a hive of bees in Eh.— Miss gt s d s en, i l ti h r i ri ch s°n' cast o a f sw ß arn ia i o m f o ll n e d a; on the 13th of May, another on the 22d, and also on one the ' 24th, which are 4%44 well.—Yorkslate Gazettc Accingsti.—On Saturday, at 19 o'clock, whil e several men, employed as labourers at the New Houses of Parliament, were engaged ou one of the scaffolds in raising the blocks of stone for the Victoria Tower, the pulley Rave way, and an immense mass of stone f e ll on the ftaeoid, breaking the poles by which the scaffolding was supported, and precipitating all who were on it to the ground.
