" It will be no more than consistent, the Committee conceive, with the noble attitude which Great Britain has taken before the world on the great subject of slavery, to refuse, in the most positive terms, the recc.,g shim] of any new State in which the unrighteous system of slavery is recognised, and measures so repugnant to every principle of equity and religion, as those referred to, are established by constitutional law; nor cm it, the Committee would respectfully observe, be otherwise than a matter of plain and imperative obligation filet the British Government should avail itself of so just and striking an opportunity of using its mighty moral influence for diffusing through other countries the same freedom which, at so much cost, has been happily, and the Committee trust permanentlY, established in the dependencies of our own. " Tee whole of the ea.;e before the Comnitttee, how ever, is not yet stated. The establishment of slavers in Texas will open an immense market for the slave breeders of the United States, and will inevitably en large to an unprecedented extent, and raise to a pitch j of unprecedented horrors, a traffic so infamous and ' deplorable. Nor can it be doubted but, in spite of the law which prohibits it, the slave trade with Africa, against which the whole power of the British empire is arrayed, will be extensively carried on, as there is too :rest reason to believe it has already begun. ' " Under these circumstances, the Committee trust that her Majesty's Government will regard the proposed recognition of Texas with the greatest abhorrence, and they cherish an earnest hope that in their decisions con siderations of humanity, justice, and liberty will be firmly held paramount to every other. " On behalf of the Committee, " G. W. ALEXANDER, Chairman. " British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society " No. 27, New Broad -street, London, Sept. 28, 1839."

SlR—There can be but little doubt that the letter which recently appeared in the Hull Observer, signed " Wm. Kennedy," and afterwards transferred to your columns, as well as the article which you have copied from that paper into your journal of the 3d instant, owe their origin to the same pen ; they both breathe the same spirit, and are directed to the same end, viz., the recognition of Texas as a sovereign and indepen. dent state by the Government of this country. In tact, the latt er art i c l e i s a d e f ence of the former, and in tended to be a reply to the letter of Mr. Joseph Sturge, which appeared in tile Chronicle of the 21st ult. The arrogant assumption of the writer of these arti cles to superior knowledge on the subject on which he writes is unsusta i ne d either by facts or by reasoning. Compared information with are 1 1.1 a l s r. . various Joseph Texia n a d vocate will permit me to say hi s are b o th a S s t u t r h g e e y , a w r h e os a e e s u o r u a t r e c s t h o e f limited and valueless ; whilst in the love of his fellow man, and of that liberty which is at once his birthright and his glory, he falls immeasurably below the man whom he affects to despise. It would appear that the writer in the Hull Observer has travelled through Texas, as well as through the slave states of North America, and as the result of his obser vations he states that the Texians are an intelligent and enterprising people, " whose object it is to establish free institutions on a congenial soil ; that persons who have travelled with unprejudiced minds through the southern states of the American Union cannot conscientiously as sert that the negroes are subject to ill-treatment, or that their masters deserve to be held up as monsters to the rest of the world ;" that the rude interference of a " zeal without knowledge" . . . "has prevented the emanci pation of the slaves in Maryland and Virginia," and that to oppose the recognition of the independence of Texas is to play the game of pro-tariff Americans, in order to gratify a few crotchetty enthusiasts, who would plunge us into a war with a people of our own blood, without attaining their desired end, but on the contrary, creating new obstacles to its attainment." I — challenge Mr. William Kennedy, or the writer in the Hull Observer, to the discussion and proof of these several points. Let him produce his facts—let him marshal his arguments in support of his opinions and statements, but let him not suppose that to designate Joseph Sturge as a " credulous man, whose mind is possessed of one predominating idea," and those with whom he acts, as " a few crotchetty enthusiasts" —will accomplish his purpose, or prove that " the Texian land pirates," or " the southern slave-holders and slave breeders" are worthy of honour, or that himself is the wisest and most unprejudiced of men. At present I have done with Mr. William Kennedy and the Hull Observer, but with your permission, Sir, I would venture a few remarks on the claims of Texas to be recognised as a free and independent state by this country, and of the consequences which would inevitably follow. --- THE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CXXVIII., Will be Publ;shed on WEDNESDAY.

Yesterday we, with several of our Contemporaries, published an extract from a letter, dated April 16, re. ceived by Mr. George Graham, of Windsor, from his son, who is residing at Sydney, giving a lamentable ac count of the state of the crops, &c. We are glad to learn by later accounts, that copious ra i ns had subse quently fallen. From letters and newspapers from Van Diemen's Lind up to the 15th of May last (May and June are the winter months in that island), it appears that !wheat, oats, and barley had advanced to very high prices, in consequence of the demands from Sydney, South Australia, and Swan River, where it brought 16s. per bushel. The great drought on the continent of Australia had proved Van Diemen's Land to be the granary of those countries, to which there had been exported about 200,000 bushels of wheat, besides oats and barley, and returns had been ordered, which prove Van Diemen's Land sufficient to grow grain for two millions of people. Sydney papers state that co- pious rains had fallen about the end of April, and that the prices of grain had decreased in consequence, and the great distress felt there (Sydney) and at the other settlements of Australia, for want of water, had alto gether ceased. The Hobart Town papers state that the proprietors and tenants of the island were preparing a large quantity of land for crops, and the season was most propitious ; the high prices of grain for exportation had given them a stimulus to sow it in greater quantities than had been done in the colony. 3,751,500 FLORINS.

The ostensible grounds on which Texas appealed to the United States for the recognition of her sovereignty was, that she was fully justified in her revolt against Mexico, and that she had achieved her independence, and was enabled to maintain it, by force of arms ; but the real grounds on which she was recognised, with such indecent haste, by that Government was with the view to her ultimate, if not immediate, annexation to the Union.

If those sums, so left, had been well managed, and p roper l y applied, there would have been but little occasion at this moment for a grant of public money.

The evidence on this point is complete ; and were it not that it would occupy too large a space in your columns, I should ask permission to present it to the attention of the British public through that medium. Thus much, however, may be predicted with certainty, that should state reasons of paramount importance so far influence the Cabinet at Washington at present as to render it inexpedient to annex Texas to the United States, the time is not far distant when that glorious land will be come an integral part of the great republic by cession, or, failing that, the Southern States will assuredly annex themselves to Texas. It may be proper to remark here, that the Govern ment of the United States has not peremptorily and finally refused the proposal of annexation made by the Texian Legislature, and that subsequently to the sus pension of the negotiations on this important subject, the Tcxian Legislature, upon the motion to withdraw the proposal, decided in the negative ; so that we may expect its renewal as soon as a favourable opportunity arrives. Texas is of vital importance to the southern slave states. Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky will find there a vast market for their surplus slave population, and the detestable and loathsome business of slave breeding will be the roost profitable of all speculations. " Give us Texas," say the slave holders and slave breed ers, " and you will increase the value of our property fifty per cent. I" Governor M‘Duffie, J. C. Calhoun, and Henry Clay, the most eminent of southern politi cian. and statesmen, have all advocated the acquisition of Texas as of vital importance to the slave states, and there will not be found, south of the line which separates the free from the slave states, a single man of any im portance who is riot of the same opinion, and who is not prepared to make the greatest sacrifices for its attain ment. The revolt in Texas owes its origin to the preva ,ence of this opinion and determination. Having failed by negotiation and fraud during the last twenty years to secure Texas, the slave holders of the south and the land jobbers of the north have poured into that unhappy country hordes of characterless villains, whose sole ob ject it has been to re-establish slavery and the slave trade, and by the most infamous species of gambling to dupe the credulous, and to fill their pockets with un righteous gain. Taking advantage of the intestine feuds of the Mexicans, they have, in the moment of the greatest weakness, wrested the fairest portion of her do minions from her grasp, and, in defiance of every prin ciple of justice and honour, have availed themselves of the very privileges which she conferred to crush her power. The Honourable John Quincy Adams, ex- President of the United States, in his celebrated speech, delivered in the House of Representatives the 25th of December, 1835, says, " That at the time the United States made the offensive overture to Mexico to cede a large portion of her territery (Texas), larg e enough t o const i tute n i ne States equal in extent to Kentucky," the " colonists from these United States were covering the Mexican border with land jobbing, and with slaves, introduced in defiance of the Mexican laws, by which slavery had been abolished throughout that republic. The war now raging in Texas," he further says, " is a Mexican civil war, and a war for the re-establishment of slavery where it was abolished. It is not a servile war, but a war between slavery and emancipation." Another authority, not less eminent or well-informed, Dr. Channing, traces with a master's hand the causes which led to the re volt in Texas, and the character of the men who figured in the nefarious transaction. In his eloquent letter to the Hon. Henry Clay, written in August 1837, he says, " the first great cause was the un bounded, unprincipled spirit of land speculation, which so tempting a prize as Texas easily kindled in multitudes in the United States, where this mode of gambli ng is too common a vice." " Another cause of the revolt," DEAFNESS.—At le ng th t hi s dreadful malady is to slave-holders end slaves ;" and again h e a d ds, completely obviated, without t orture an d ser i ous r i s k by " the settled invincible purpose of Mexico to exclud e medical treatment. The M essrs . S. an d B. Solomons, slaves from her limits created as strong a purpose to 39, Albemarle-street, Pic ca dilly, and 96, Cheapside, have annihilate her authority in Texas. By this prohibition constructed a Voice-Conductor, the size of a seven Texas was virtually shut against emigration from the shilling piece, which, wh en fi xe d into the cavity of the southern and western portion of the United States, and ear, is soft, eetsy, and not more uncomfortabl e nor per- it i s well known that the eyes of the south and west had as a new field for slave labour, ceptible than having a piece of wool in its place ; and for some . time been turned to this province, as a cc new and as of political power to the slaveholdina that which is deserving the public attention and appro- mar •etjur slaves, s whom," Dr. Channing asks, " has betion is, that an individual in company may place it in a vast , acc , e , s B io y n the ear and remove it unobserved.

But let us measure the men by their acts. What have these soi-disant Texians done to win renown, or to gain for themselves the honour of being numbered among the sovereign powers of the earth ? They have revolted from Mexico without any just cause for so doing. They had no injuries to redress and no claims to prefer, which would not have been ho nourably met. The emigrants in T exas were always treated with th e greatest liberality by the parent states, whose sole object was to foster them and to encourage the free, the industrious, and the enterprising, to seek a home within her borders ; to acknowledge the inde pendence of Texas, under these circumstances, is to sanction treason of the worst kind, and to fix a premium on unprovoked rebellion, simply because it had been successful. I have already shown that the revolt in Texas was nurtured and sustained by the land jobbers and slave holders of the United States, and who by force of arms had conquered it, and that the Texians, few in number, and without any real grievances to redress, were made a cover to the villanotis projects of these daring adven turers. To acknowledge its independence is to sanc tion an usurpation of the most unjustifiable character, and a violation of the law ( ! f nations, unparalleled in the history of civilized states. But not only are these Texians to be regarded as re bels and usurpers, in reference to Mexico, and to be con sidered as such by Powers in amity with that Republic, but they stand before the world the confessed enemies of the human race, and of the sacred principles of freedom. Here again we refer to, their acts. It is well known that the Mexicans, as far back as the year 1824, totally abolished the slave trade, and in the year 1829 finally terminated the existence of slavery throughout their dominions. But the revolted Texians have re-established both. To place this matter beyond dispute I make the following quotations from their laws, and place them in juxta-position, that their atrocious character may be the more conspicuous : MEXICO. TEXAS.

Here then we have the atrocious fact unblushingly avowed in the solemn decisions of the Texian legisla ture, that Texas, one of' the fairest portions of the world, is to be devoted in perpetuity to slave-holders and slaves! To acknOwledge its independence, in view of this fact, would be to place the mark of honour on a despotism the most cruel and revolting that ever afflicted or disgraced mankind, and consign millions of the human race to interminable bondage, instead of putting the brand of infamy on so flagrant a violation of the rights of man and the authority of God, and of holding up to universal execration the men who could "frame (such) inequality by law." Still the whole tale of Texian perfidy and guilt is not told. Nut only have these monsters desecrated the soil of Texas by the re-establishment of slavery and the slave-trade, but they have also provided for the exclusion from the rights of citizenship, and I would add, the final expulsion of the aboriginal tribes, and in this they have become more vile than their Republican brethren, in the United States. They have always sought some colourable pretence for removing the Indians from their borders, but the Texians intend to make short work of it. Here is the law :---See. 10. " All persons (Afri cans, the des cen d an t s o/ Africans, and Indians excepted) who were residing in Texas on the day of the declara tion of independence shall be considered citizens of the Republic, and be entitled to all the privileges of such." Thus are they made aliens in the land of their fathers, and their fate will undoubtedly be that of the free co loured population, who we have seen will not be per mitted" to reside permanently in the Republic." And these are the- men who have sent their envoys hither to obtain their recognition as a sovereign state! If there be any dignity in our rulers, any respect for the national honour, any regard for the rights and happiness of mankind, any devotion to the cause of liberty, any re verence for God, these envoys will be sent back with scorn and indignation to the base Government they re present. Let them bear back the message that England, true to the great principle s she professes, true to the in terests of humanity, true to the cause of freedom, true to the sacred claims of religion, sends an emphatic nega tive to all her overtures, I am, Sir, yolre obedi en t humble servant, Hounslo w t. , Oe JOHN SCOBLE, Th' toltowing memorial on the Texas question has acen presented to Lord Palmerston by the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society : " To the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, &c. "My Lord,--The Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society beg permission to express their sentiments to your Lordship on a subject deeply interesting to all the friends of liberty and justice, and which they feel to be of paramount importanc. at the present time, as affecting the dearest interests and future happiness of a large portion of the human race, and one to which it is understood the attention of your Lord ship and her Majesty's Government has already been officially directed. " It is currently reported that from the revolted pro vince of the Mexican empire, Texas, envoys have been sent to this country to solicit its recognition by the Bri tish Government, as an independent state. " With a negociation, considered as relating to poli tical interests alone, although they conceive these to be of the greatest importance as it respects the interests of British subjects, and even the integrity of the Bri tish empire in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, it would be quite out of the province of the Bri tish and Forei;n Anti• Slavery Society to interfere ; but there is a peculiar feature in the present which renders it not only proper for them, but imperative on them, to express to your Lordship their sentiments on the. subject, and to entreat for them a serious considera tion at the hands of Government. " The Committee will not trouble your Lordship with a detail of the unjust and atrocious manner in which the M ex i ca n province of Texas has been wrested from the parent state by unprincipled adventurers, l an d jobbers, and slave ho!ders, from the United States, %Own conduct deserves the most indignant rebuke, and must attach lasting dishar.our to all who may become implicated in it ; but to, press on t h e consideration of your Lordship and the Government the well-known fact, that the egislature o f T exas has abolished the Li universal freedom which with snch admirable justice and propriety had been decreed by the Mexiciln Gore r ment, and have re-established slaver • • ^ Yin worg: corms. Teo Committee would also calf ysAtir Loir),;hip s atte..nr tion to the fact that tho Txii‘ n the expulsion IVOIR its territoq of 11;' also provide i l he j .escet a lnti of t !cans, a . m t .Ib, whether in whole or in part ne sale of single admiso s to the Manchester Exhibition produced 1,607/. ISA., and of season tickets .5/. :Is. 6d. The children of the principal free schools in the town and neigh bv,rhood, the inmates of the work houses, the military stationed at Manchester and Sal ford, and the puriis in the schools of the respective re giments, were admitted gratuitously. Th oug h t h e rooms were constantly crowded, not a single instance of wan ton mischief occurred, and the accidental injuries were few and trifling. The following extract from Mr. Cumbers speech at the annual meeting of the mambers, contains a gratifying proof of the moral benefit re sulting from these exhibition s :—" A:nong all those who had visited our exhibition, there was only one instance of a man presenting himself in a state of intoxication. Of course, he was refused admittance. There was another instance of a person who was not quite so far intoxicated ; he was more strenuous, and was at length admitted ; he stayed a considerable ' time looking at the exhibition, and being, no doubt, made more sober by the time he was in ; at length he went out, and when a few yards off, was asked how he liked the exhibition ; he replied, he liked it so well, that he would bring his wife and children. He did so, and after being three hours and a half in, was asked how he approved of the collection, and said he never expected to live to see such an exhibition ; that his wife was also gratified ; that lie had never before taken her to such an exhibition, and he regretted his poverty to carol his name as a member, but that he would go immediately and enter his name at the Lyceum. There werealso two very suspicious characters entered into the exhibition. One • of the Directors was advised to have the police to watch their !notions ; but the Director very properly requested that they might be left to his care. They went round, - and on his observing to them that they seemed to ho much struck, they said they never saw anything like it before ; and so interested were they, that whether they came to pick one's pocket or not, he (Mr. Cumber) I did not know, but if' they did they forgot their calling." This communication excited great interest, and has led to similar exhibitions at Birmingham and Sheffield, with equally gratifying results. Masters have benefited as ff well as workmen ; the sentiment so well expressed two years ago, by Sir Benjamin Heywood, has passed into with :—" T reat, " sa i d he, " the working man generosity and confidence, and he will repay you with gratitude and affection ; treat him with suspicion and distrust, and what right have you to expect a dif ferent return ?" The concerts at the Manchester Me chanics' Institution were highly creditable to the Direc tors ; though the rate of admission was only 6d., artists of first-rate talent were engaged, and it deserves to be added that a military band formed an important auxiliary to the evening's amusements, Colonel Chatterton having sent the band of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons to aid the regular performers. There are those who look upon the amusements of the people as trifles, unworthy of notice ; there are others who watch them with a jealous and ascetic spirit, who would check, fetter, and control them by experimental and hap-hazard le gislation ; but there arc also many who deeply feel the importance of providing recreation for the la bourer after his toils, and thus enable him to gratify the imperious necessity for excitement and exhilara tion without having recourse to vicious indulgences. Labour," says Sir J. Herschel, "is work, amuse ment is play ; and though it has passed into a pro verb that one without the other will make a dull boy, we seem to have lost sight of a thing equally obvious, that a community of dull boys in this sense, is only another word for a society of ignorant, headlong, and ferocious men."--Alhenceunt. ACCIDENT.—.As General Horton was returning with his daughter from Pitt's Hill, near Petworth, where they had been to dine on Thursday evening last, owing to the darkness of the night, and one of the lamps going out, the postboy ran the wheels on a .wait placed at the edge of a pond, by which means the oar riage was overturned ; and although the glasses were 1 broken, to atoms, and the dickey broken off, we are happy to sly that the Gallant General escaped unhurt, Miss Horton had her hands cut by the glass, otherwise she escaped without injury. After the carriage was righted, the harness mended, &c., the party again set off for Hurling s, the temporary residence of the General. APPALLING IGNORANCE IN BETHNAL GREEN.-At a public meeting held in Bethnal Green, it was stated by Mr. Henry Althans, the Advocate of Education, that when the new Lancasterian School was, opened in that parish a few weeks ago, out o: . three hundred grown boys above the age of ten years wh o presented themselves for admittance, no fewer than on e 1 hundred and seventy-three were found to be utterly ig. 1 norant of a single letter in the English alph a b et ! r . • SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OP A zusnox LODGE IN BELFAST.—On Saturday afternoon the Magistrates, attend to aed by a strong military a n d po li ce force ceeded , pro public-house opposite the Belfast distillery, kept by a man named Houston, and arrested him, in consequence of private information, to the effect that a Lodge of Ribbon men had been in the habit of holding their meetings in his house. A number of boxes, con taining papers supposed to belong to the Ribbon So ciety, were also seized, and were conveyed to the House of Correction, together with the prisoner, who still re mains in custody. We understand that the papers seized contain a statement of the number of members belonging to the association, whatever it may be, toge ther with their signs, pass-words, &c. This is all the authentic i nformation that has yet transpired on the sub ject ; but as an - investigation, we understand, is likely to take place 'this day before the Magistrates, we shall probably be enabled to give a detailed account of this singularly interesting affair in our next publicatiox4. —Bc/fast News Letter.
