Thus it would be sin that the merchants had no rea- son to compluin of?ietnancipation. Indeed he had not found a merchant ii 01.1 the colonies he had visited who had not told him thtp.ime tile ; and even some of the planters themselves' had: joked with hire, and said, " What fools you English people are—if you had given the 20,000;000/. to the negroes, we might have thought through their brains or a dagger through their hearts ; but I am so convinced now of the blesings connected with emancipation, that I could . go down on my knees and embrace theirs, and blesi them for their efforts in overthrowing the olcl system." Thus they would perceive that gmandipitinn Vias a blessing not merely to the negro, but to the planter. . Fie would now say a few words on the moral and religious advantages which the negro had acquired by emancipation. He could never forget the interviews which hehad had with negroes in various colonies, on the subject of emancipation, and you were wise men, but you have given it to us, who will profit by it in many other ways." One of them said, " I have put 14,000/. into my pocket, for which lam much obliged to you." So that when they took into consideration that the price of sugar had con siderably advanced during the last two years, and that the quantity exported froiii the colonies bad been very little short of that VN hich was exported during the palmy days of slavery, it would be seen that the planters were gainers in every way. They had the interest of the 20,000,0001. coming into their pockets every year, at a much' less expense than they could during the period of slavery. He had not yet met with a planter who had stated he would return to the old system if he could, and he would do them the credit of saying that they had uniformly spoken of the day on which the negroes were liberated as the first day of freedom they had enjoyed He well remembered on one occa sion a planter saying to him, " Mr. Scoble, I recollect the time when if 1 had seen Buxton or Wilberforce, I should have felt it my duty to have put a pistol-ball the benefits which they had derived from the liberty se cured to them by British law. He remembered on one occasion a group of negroes who were labouring by the way side, coming round the vehicle in which he was travelling, and inquiring who he was. On understand ing his name was Scoble, they were most delighted, and rejoiced to see him, and expressed their gratitude in their own way, for the efforts that had been made for them by the people of England. To show that they now felt their independence he would just mention that it was a common saying in Trinidad, when their masters were inclined to be severe, or applied coarse epithets to them, which they ut tered in the creole French, " Baton, changez son but," the meaning of which was that the stick had changed hands. The masters began to feel that now, and to know that, they must attach the negroes to their persons, as well as to their colonies, if they wished to derive any benefit from emancipation. Many of the planters were anxious to bring the negroes under a certain system of laws ; but he knew that the vigilance of the people of England would prevent that. It was not his intention to go into detail with reference to the conduct of the planters, since the Ist of August, 1838. He would not speak of the persecutions which their Missionary friends were at this moment enduring in Jamaica. He would not speak of the conduct of Jamaica juries and of Jamaica Judges.—( Hear, hear.) He would not denounce the conduct of the planters in reference to the tricks they had attempted to play on the emancipated population with reference to the amount of their wages, the made and time of paying, nor the cheating that had been going on in the shape of mulcts and fines on the negroes for not performing what they were pleased to call a day's work, nor of making the negroes pay higher rates. He would say nothing about eject ments ; but would reserve all that for another occa- sion. Still, notwithstanding all that the negroes had suffered from their masters since the Ist of August 1838, they were well worthy of the confidence of the people of England, and had shown that it was because they valued the good opinion of the people of England that they had been so industrious, so ste, dy, and so peaceable as they had proved themselves to be. Then, again, with reference to schools, they were springing up in all the colonies, and many of the planters, though by no means friendly to education, found that it was a link which would bind the negroes to their plantations, and therefore they were desirous of having schools. Many of the planters were assisting societies in supplying different plantations with suitable teachers for the negro population. The details on that subject would be extremely interesting, but he was afraid there was not time that evening to go through them. Mr. Scoble then prOceeded.te-mention some interesting facts in connection with the progress of education throughout the colonies he had visited. In British Guiana a very large numbers of negroes were brought up under the instruction of the agents of the London Missionary Society. He probably did not estimate the number too high when he said that not less than 20,000 negroes received instruction of some sort from the agents of that Society. In connection with their various stations they had schools, and a large num ber of children were in the habit of receiving daily in- ... . struction through the agency of those worthy and excel lent men. The desire for instruction was intense-amon the negro population, aad with respect to religious in struction it was remarkable. The negro population of the West Indian Colonies might be said to have but one hook, and a desire for one book only—that book was the Bible. The demand for Bibles in the West Indian Colonies had increased greatly. When in the colony of Berbice he (Mr. Scoble) was introduced to a negro named " Ned.' Ned, during the period of slavery, had been taught to read by a Scotch soldier, under very singular circumstances. The soldier took a fancy to Ned, and offered to teach him to read if he would engage to teach others. The engagement having been entered into, and Ned having been taught to read, he instructed those with whom he was associated in one of Mr. Blair's plantations on the west side of the Berbice river. After a time Ned was found teaching his, fellow slaves, for which he was flogged severely. He was dis covered a second time teaching, and a second time received a flogging. A third time he was discovered, and then arose the question, what was to be done with him, for Ned was too valuable a man to kill. At length it was determined to send him to the Cange ; but they forgot that Ned took his learning with him—( Hear, hear) —for as soon as he reached the estate to which he was banished he commenced teaching.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Having procured paper, pen, and ink, Ned wrote to the friends he had left behind as follows :—" I am going on very well on these plan tations—people are beginning to learn to read—hope you are going en well, and will remember your promise" (for Ned always brought those whom he taught to read under the same engagement that he originally entered into, namely, to teach others).—(Hear, hear.) His epistle closed with these words, " Go on, and d on 't m i n d a good' licking."—(Great laughter.) On the Ist of August a considerable; number of copies of the Sacred Scriptures were distributed among the negro population. Many of the negroes put in their claims on the west side of the Berbice river to the missionary station in con nexion with the mission station for bibles, and the missionary thought that by ordering 100 copies he would have an ample supply, but after a time he found there were 1,000 more negroes than he had thought of, able to read the Scriptures, and had therefore to give a very large order that he might be able to meet the demand made upon him. He attributed that in a great mea sure to the labours of Ned, and others brought under the engagement to teach their fellow-slaves to read after they had received that blessing themselves. Nothing was more delightful than a Sabbath-day at one of the mission stations in the West India colonies ; and he had known many negroes to walk five, ten, and fif teen miles for the purpose of attending the early morn ing service, and it was most gratifying to witness their order and regularity, and attention to the duties of the Sabbath. He was happy to have that opportunity of bearing testimony to the services rendered to the cause of religion by thegreat majority of missionaries with whom he had come in contact in the British colonies. They were Iva' worthy of support, and he trusted that when the claims of the colonies were fully understood, the number of these devoted men would be increased ten-fold. Many of the colonies could not boast of a missionary ; other colonies were so miserably supplied with religious teachers that they might he said to be in a state of des titution. For instance, in Barbadoes, it was t r ue the Bishop resided there, and a considerable number of churches were scattered throughout the island, but_ very_ little instruction was imparted to the negroes. Some of the clergymen were eminent for their piety and f usefulness, but still there were v e r y few, compa ratively speaking, of the pop ulation co lony, brought under the course of religious in struction. Again, as to Trinidad, the aof that Roman Catho lies might be said to have that colon y in their posses sion. Very few Protes tants were to be found i n it ; and there was large room for missionaries in that colony, as well as in Barbadoes. The colony most richly supplied with Christian labourers, which be had British Guiana. There were ab out B or visited, agents"'aosf the London Missionary Society t h ere, 10 they were labouring most diligently and assiduously. There were also five Wesleyan ministers there doing' a great amount of good, but even in British Guiana there was abundant room for more labourers. The small islands were left almost destitute of religious instruction, but he trusted the Christians of Great Britain would meet the call that was being made on them for instruction with a liberal spirit. He had intended to have gone rather more into detail on some subjects connected with the points to which he had adverted, but he felt that he had said enough that evening to convince them that the idle LONDON, FRIDAY.

NEGRO EMANCIPATION. An Address was delivered on Wednesday evening in e Finsbury Chapel, before a numerous and respectable . . audience, by Mr. Scoble, who has recently returned from a tour in the West Indies, " for the purpose," as he stated, " of correcting the misrepresentations of the press against the liberated negroes and their friends, and of showing that the liberty conferred on the negro was not only a blessing to himself but a blessing to his master." Mr. Scoble was received with a hearty welcome, and commenced by saying it was imposiible any one could have supposed so great a change as the emancipation of the negroes could have taken place without entailing distress on a large number of persons in the colonies. The 'West Indians themselves predicted ruin ; the Go vernment anticipated that the change would affect their welfare for a considerable number of years to come, and the munificent gift of 20,000,0001. was voted to the planters by the House of Commons for the purpose of meeting any loss they might sustain by emancipation. The friend of the negroes did not anticipate even that every thing would go on smoothly for some time at least, or that the returns of the colonies would be equal to what they had been in years past ; but they did venture to predict, that when the planters began to comprehend their real interests, and to acknowledge their relation with the labourers, that then prosperity would attend emancipation. Since his return to Eng land, he had looked over some of the papers issued by the West Indian body in 1831 and 1832. In 1832, the West Indians put forth a manifesto, as they called it, the design of which was to counteract the effects of a paper circulated, and bearing the honoured signatures of Wilberforce, Bustotito... Macauley, and others. In that manifesto, signed by thirty-one individuals, was this prediction :—" We assert, in the face of our country, our well-founded conviction, that the speedy annihilation of slavery would be attended with the devastation of the West India colonies with loss of lives and property to the white inha bitants—with inevitable distress and misery to the black population, and with a fatal shock to the commer cial credit of this country." That manifesto was based on the principle that the West Indian Proprietors knew better than the abolitionists, what would tend to the benefit of themselves and the negroes. And Mr. Ba- ring (now Lord Ashburton), representing that great in terest in the House of Commons when the Emancipa tion Bill was in progress, made a speech in which he reiterated the predictions of the West Indian body, and ventured to state that " manufactures would de- cline, commerce would be withered, ships would lie rot ting in the harbours without freight, and the cessation of the cultivation of sugar, involved calamities of a more serious description than any which had yet befallen the country." After uttering these predictions, Mr. Baring asked, " Was the country prepared to pay 6,000,0001. merely for the sake of trying ex periments in humanity?—or was it prepared to lose 3,000,000/. of its revenue from the decrease in the pro duction of sugar ?" These wise men (and every body knew that Mr. Baring was a wise man)—(Laughter)— thought emancipation would be followed by ruin, but they would see whether events had fulfilled the predic tions of the West Indians and Mr. Baring. First, he would inquire whether the colonies had been devastated and ruined by anarchy and insurrection ? It was, pre dicted, they all knew, that the Ist of August, 1834, would be ushered in by massacre and bloodshed. Well, the Ist of August came—did the negroes appear in the plantations armed with cutlasses to cut their mas ter's throats—did they appear armed to the teeth to take vengeance on those who had oppressed them in years pas; ? No, but they might be seen in hundreds and thousands on that day wending their way to the house of God, there to render thanks to that Great Being who had crowned the efforts of their friends in this country, and bid them to go free. Well, the planters raid, it was true the Ist of August had passed away without massacre and bloodshed, but during the Christ mas holidays would bring confusion. When the first Christmas came, which the negro had been permitted to enjoy as a free man, it was found the soldier was no longer necessary, and martial law was dispensed with. Predictions were made by the West Indian body every year, that this outbreak, this insurrection, this anarchy and confusion, would take place ; but year after year bad passed away, and all had been tranquil.—( Hear, hear.) It was mar vellous, but nevertheless true, that with a single excep tion, there had not been a riot in any of the West In dian Colonies, and he (Mr. Scoble) had searched the criminal records in vain to find a negro punished for at tacking a white man. Then, as to the dilapidated revenue, as to ships rotting in our harbours, what was the answer to that? Why he found that this very year the returns made up to the'sth January, 1839, gave a revenue to the Chancellor of Exchequer of no less than 6,455,806/. in coffee, sugar, and rum, sent to this country during the year 1838.—(Wear, hear.) That looked very much a like dilapidated revenue.—(Laugh ter.) Why the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though he had presented his Budget year after year, since the Eman cipation Act had passed, had never asked the nation for a single pound to meet any 'defalcation of the revenue in the West India Colonies. Although the country had had to bear the burthen of 20,000,000/. given to the planters in the way of compensation, nothing had dropped from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to lead them to suppose there was any de ficiency of the revenue. With respect to the number of shipping employed, he had taken the trouble to con- suit official records, and he found that, during the lass year not less than ten thousand tons of shipping more were employed than during the year 1837.—(Cheers.) He found also that in connection with our commercial marine trading to and from the West Indian Colonies, there were no less than 27,965 men employed, and he found the number of ships employed in going to and from the Colonies during the last year, amounted to 1.904, with a tonnage of not less than 516,174 tons.— ( Hear, hear.) That looked very much like ruin and devastation.—(Laughter.) He would now go a little more into detail. He had before him returns of the amount of sugar exported from the West Indian colonies during the year 1888, and he found that exclusive of the Mauritius, 3,504,709 cwts. of sugar were sent to this country lnst year ; and on an average of five years from 1834 to 1838 which were years of great prosperity in the West Indies, there was but a diminution of 222,726 cwts., and if the imports from the Mauritius in 1838 were compared with the preceding year, which was one of great prosperity, it would be found that 280,999 cwts. more of sugar were exported from the Colonies than during the preceding year. But then it was said that Jamaica was the colony which would feel the effects of emancipation most, and, according to some writers, Jamaica would be ruined. He had before him extracts from Blackwood's Maga zine of July last, in which he found a statement that the negroes had, during the period of slavery— " Two day's a-week, besides Sunday, during which they were at liberty to work in their gardens, or at wages on their own account ; and so prolific were the powers of nature in that benignant climate, and such the reward of industry and good conduct, that after being provided, themselves and their families, better than any peasantry in Europe, they could lay by with ease thirty pounds a-year. Their cottages were gene rally comfortable, often elegant ; artificial wants, civi lized vanities, were making rapid progress amongst them ; and the cheering spectacle of 40,000 negroes in Jamaica alone, who had worked out or obtained their own freedom, and were prosecuting with respectability and success the paths of honest industry, proved that the sable race was capable, in the end, of bearing eman cipation." That was the state of the negroes according the writer in Blackwood's Magazine previous to emancipation. The writer then went ' on to state what were the frightful results to be expected from emancipation, especially in Ja maica. —(A, laugh.) He says--" The crop of Ja maica for 1838 was barely 40,000 hogsheads, and in 1839 it will not be 10,000. In short, the agricultural produce of the island is totall y disa ppearing ; the ne- • ne groes, in the great majority of instances, either will n o t work at all for any wag es, or are so ext ravagant in their demand for wages , an d so irre g ular and inconstant in their habits, as to render it altogether impossible to continue the cultiva tion of su g ar or coffee with any prospect of pro fit." The writ er then drew a picture of the dread ful state of degradation into which the negroes wculd be drag ge d b y emanci pation,by considerable saying , number o f th ese " It w ou ld fill a volume to and quote concluded any uded reports : they are all of the sa me character, and their c results will be soon proclaimed in statistical returns, showing the rapid decline of the agricultural produce of the whole islands, which will at once silence misre presentation and defy reply." Now he (Mr. Scoble) had the official reports before him, and he found that Jamaica sent to this country last year 150,000 cwts. of sugar more than she sent in 1837. So that it would be seen that whether as respects the revenue or as respects the amount of produce r aised and exported from the colo nies.last year, the most gratifying results had 'ensued, and in having achieved a victory for justice, humanity, and religion, they had not only secured the best interests of the negro, but the best interests of his master. — (Hear, hear.) There were, however, two or three co lonies, in which the quantity of produce raised last year, and exported into this country fell short of the average quantity sent to this country, during the period of slavery. The Colonies to which he particularly re ferred were British Guiana and Trinidad, but he would show that the decrease in the amount of produce could b s iti,factori'y ace.,unted for. The average quantity of sugar exported from British Guiana in 1831, 1832, and 1833, was 60,948 hogsheads. The quantity ex ported in 1838 was 52,531 hogsheads, showiag, a dimi nution of 8,417 hogsheads. But on comparing the first year of freedom with the last year of slavery, it would he found that the diminution had only been 6,355 hogs heads. In reference to British Guiana, he might say that the population of that colony had been decreasing for many tears past. In the year 1817 a registry of slaves was established in that colony, and every three years the census of the slave population was taken. In 1832 the registry showed a ,diminution in the physical strength of the labouring population of 25,000 out of 110,000, or nearly one-fourth. During the period of apprenticeship the decrease had been equal to that to which hehad directed their attention, and yet there had only been a decrease in the exports of 6,355 hogsheads of sugar. There were other reasons which would account for the decrease of the exports. In the first place a consi derable number of doracstics and tradesmen, now that they were free, would no longer toil in the field again, not a few of the women had refused to work in the fields---(Hear, hear)—and there had been a ge neral withdrawal of children under ten or twelve years of age from working about the _buildings ; they were now sent to school, and had the blessing of a reli gious and moral education, and he was sure that every friend of humanity would rejoice at that.—(Cheers.) Again a considerable number of young persons had left the plantations —young men were learning trades of various kinds, and the young women had obtained situations as servants to families in the towns.—(Hear, bear.) Then there had been a con siderable withdrawal of labour from the Colony of British Guiana, since the Ist of August 1838, and that withdrawal of labour connected with the decrease of the slave population, would more than account for the dimin ution in the amount of produce . _ raised in the colony, and shipped to England last year. Again, during the period of slavery and ap- prenticeship, the planters having found the cultivation of sugar was more profitable than the cultivation of coffee, took the people from the coffee plantations, and compelled them to cultivate sugar, while they had the power of compelling them ; but when a considerable number of them became masters of their own persons and time, they did not choose any longer to labour on these plantations, and many of them went back to the cultivatien of coffee.—(Hear, hear.) In reference to Trinidad, there bad been a decrease of about 2,000 hogsheads. In 1833, the last year of slavery, there were exported from Trinidad 22,925 hogsheads—in the year 1838, 20,721 hogsheads, showing a decrease of - 2,040 hogsheads. But he must be allowed to state that those returns were fallacions—they ought to inquire for the number of hundred-weights exported, and not for the number of hogsheads, because during the last two years he found that the planters had sent home hogsheads of sugar much larger than they had formerly been in the habit of doing.—(Hear, hear.) They would find that a hogshead of sugar would now weigh 18 cwt., 20 cwt., and even 22 cwt. That had been done to a considerable extent in Jamaica. It had been done in British Guiana, Trinidad, and other co lonies ; so that it would be seen when the returns were given in hogsheads it was impossible to form a cor rect idea of the amount of sugar actually sent home. When individuals, therefore, told them of the decrease in the number of hogsheads, they should ask them how many hundred weights of sugar less—not how many hogsheads had been sent.—(Cheers.) But while in those colonies to which he had adverted there had been a decrease, in Barbadoes there had been a very large in crease. The returns which he had in his possession from Barbadoes, were more accurate than those with which he had seen furnished from any other colony he had visited. The crop in Barbadoes, in the year 1833, amounted to 17,015 hhds.—in 1838, 33,058 hhds, showing an in crease of 6,043 hhds. But on comparing the exports from that colony, from the year 1827 to 1833, inclusive, he found that the increase during the year 1838 amounted to 9,724 hogsheads !—( Hear, hear.) Here then were facts corroborated by official docu ments, showing that during the last year the amount of sugar exported from the colonies to Great Britain was nearly as much as during the year 1837 ; that, in point of fact, there had been no diminution whatever in the amount of the revenue to this country from West India produce ; and therefore they had to congratulate themselves on the successful work ing of the Emancipation Act, up to the present hour.— (Cheers.) But it might be asked what had been the exports from Great Britain to the Colonies, for it was predicted that our manufacturers would suffer, and that the emancipation of the negroes would strike a deadly blow to the commercial credit of this country. Now it would be found that the exports of British manufactured goods to the Colonies during the period of emancipation had vastly increased, and that, in point of fact, our commerce with the British Colonies was never so ex tensive or so healthy as at the present moment.— (Cheers.) From the year 1829 to 1833 inclusive, the exports of British manufactured goods to the West India Colonies amounted to 14,069,8791., to the Mauri tius 761,677/., making a total of 14,831,5561. From the year 1834 to 1838 inclusive the exports of the West India Colonies of British manufactured goods amounted to 16,504,2031., to the Mauritius, 1,423,5631., making a total together of 17,927,7661., showing a balance in favour of freedom, through our commerce with the Colonies, of 3,096,210/.—(Cheers.) That was the way, in which Mr. Baring's prediction had been verified.— ( Laughter.) He would now show what proportion the amount of cotton goods bore to the general amount of manufactured articles sent out to the Colonies. He had consulted a table of exports of cotton goods of all kinds sent from this country to the West India Colo nies during thirteen years of slavery, and they amounted to 349,611,390 yards, being an average per annum of 26,893,183 yards. But in the year 1838 the official returns gave the amount of 50,291,195 yards of cotton goods of all kinds, showing a balance in favour of free dom of 23,398,012 yards.—(Cheers.) So, with respect I to all other kinds of manufactures, for the_ negroes were no longer satisfied with being dressed in baize, and checks, and Osnaburers, and Kilmarnock caps. They must have comfortable clothing, and it was a delight ful thing to see them comfortabiy clad when go ing to their markets or their places of worship. The negroes were now making large demands upon us for stockings and shoes, and the returns showed that 11,358/. worth of hosiery had been sent out last year. Here there were facts which showed that so far from emancipation having injured the commercial prosperity I , of this country or the revenue, that the planters had reason to rejoice that the circumstances in which they were originally placed had passed away, and that they now stood in a new and honourable relation to the la bouring population of the colonies. While abroad he had been exceedingly anxious to get the opinions of men in the colonies well qualified to give information on the subject of our commercial relations with the co lonies. He would read one letter which he had received, as it was a specimen of many others. Among other ques tions which he had put to them in writing was this— " What are the articles most in demand for the use of the emancipated classes in respect to clothing ?" The answer was—" The articles most in demand are hats, bonnets, shoes, boots, stockings, printed calicoes, mus lins, dovvlas, broad-cloth coats, fancy waistcoats, and gloves." "Is the demand for salt fish, pork, and other kinds of imported food, increased since the Ist of Au gust last ?" Answer—" From all I have been able to learn from others, I should say that the demand for salted pork, hams, rice, flour, biscuit bread, &c., has increased considerably since the Ist of August ; but I think the quantity of salt fish and herrings has rather decreased."—(Great laughter.) He saw they under stood what had been the food of the negro.-:-( Bear, hear, and renewed laughter.) The answer then goes on—" In regard to hams in particular, I know that our own importations have been increased ten fold, and I am confident that a similar in crease has taken place in the importations of others." Question—" Is the general demand for articles of wearing apparel, coats, cottons, stockings, hats, bon nets, shoes, &c., increased since the Ist August last ?" Auswer—" The demand for all these articles has vastly increased since the period referred to ; whilst the de mand is very limited, indeed, for those which were usually imported during the existence of slavery. The articles usually imported at that time were, coarse felt hats from 15s. to 20s. per dozen ; Monmouth and Kilmarnock caps from 6s. to 9s. per dozen ; Blue Pennestons at from ls. to 2s. 'per yard ; checks and stripes for shirts and women's coats from 3d. to :id. per yard ; Osnaburgs from 30. to 43-d. per yard. In lieu of these coarse articles we now import silk and beaver hats, from 425. to 70s. per dozen ; straw bonnets from 365. to 100 s. per dozen ; broad cloth for coats, from 7s. to 10s. per yiird, and plenty of ready-made clothes ; white cottons, unions, and linens for shirts, &c., from 4d. to Bd. per yard. Indeed, a vast improvement has taken place in the taste of the emancipated classes since the Ist of August, in reference both to food and clothing. I have sold knives and forks to such persons as high as four and five dollars per dozen ; coats as high as fourteen dollars each, and half-boots at three and four dollars per pair. When marriages are on foot I have sold bonnets dressed as high as seven dollars each ; besides hand ribbons, gauze, shawls, and other kinds of finery." --(Laughter.) The negroes were now copying the habits of their masters. Among other things he h a d b een very anx i ous to learn w hether wedding-rings h a d b een i ntro d uce d , f or t h ey we re not in use during slavery, and the answer he had received was " Yes, and for other articles of jewellery, earrings, broaches," &c.—(Laughter.) The writer proceeded—" You will therefore perceive that these classes are becoming most important in a commercial point of view. They constitute a class of buyers with whom there is tery little risk, because they pay the HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

THE ROMANCE OF PRIVATE LIFE. BY Miss BIJRNEY.—The appearance of this work has ex cited considerable interest in the highest intellectual cir cles. "We are old enough," says a contemporary jour nal, " to remember the days when the name of B urne y was supreme, or, at least , if not unrivalled, not sur passed in the current literature of the highest and most classical order. The influence of the name still exists, and the present volumes are worthy of the family lustre. They possesss great force and truth, and a management of a subject which is sure to lead to a good effect." THE APPROACH TO BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE. —For several weeks past numerous workmen have been engaged on the entire line of road from Black friars Bridge to the Surrey Theatre in making its eleva tion nearly three feet above its former level, which of itself will be a great accommodation to passengers who desire to cross from one side to the other of that spacious area. The intention, however, is to assist in the reduction of the acclivity to Blackfi iars Bridge, and it is stated that when the crown of that structure is re mov d, the place, which from its erection has been the continual scene of accide n t t o man an d b east ( t h e l a tt er es pecially), will be easier of approach than that of any other metropolitan pont, Londo n B r id ge exce pt e d. I n conse quence of the rapid progress of the works at Blackfriars Bridge, the Committee expect that they will ' be completed before Easter.

The negro attributed aillais blessings to the labours of the people of Great Britain-- *• I_, he considered himself their client, and he looked gid,l them to guard the liberties that had already been se cured. Much still remained to be done with regard to the adthinistration of the law, and so on.—(Hear, h w e u a u r i h d e s e a u r.) ur e liberty'hey r tumtuisiet negroes,not o i u t have laws they must that have men who would administer these laws inipartidly.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) Many of their friends if they were libelled, could not get a verdict in their favour ; but if in the pursuit of their duties they ventured to speak the truth, they were immediately charged with libels, broiight before the Court, and condemned to pay heavy fines ; and if not able to pay those fines, they bad to pass the remainder of their days in , prison.— (Shame.) These were the things that were going on in the Colonies, and the friends of humanity and freedom, must not conceive that their work was done. The negro was as yet but an infant ( —he required to be guided, to be nurtured , and 1, strengthened ; and years must pass away before they would be able to say they hail performed the whole of their duty towards him. Having made these general remarks, he had to thank those present for their atten tion, and he hoped that what he had stated would tend in some manner to correct the views that,had been cir culated through the medium of the public Press. He was satisfied that if a diligent inquiry were instituted into the results of the emancipation of the negroes in the West India Colonies, not only would it be found that the planters were gainers, and the negroes gainers, but that Great Britain herself was no loser by the act of justice . she had shown to a long injured and much oppressed race of mankind.--(Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks to Mr. Scoble for his instructive address, and for his services in the cause of humanity, was then moved, and carried with acclamation. THE GOLD CURRENCY. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—At the present juncture, when the commerce of the country is brought almost to a stand, because, forsooth, the Bank of England is short of gold, it may not be altogether mal-a-propos to call public attention to a fact which daily produces great inconvenience in the country, namely—the Bank of England weigh singly each sovereign as it is tendered to them, and such as, from the wear and tear of circulation, are reduced the slightest shade below the standard weight, they uniformly reject. I think, Sir, your readers, and the public generally, will agree with me in thinking that it would have been well, before that Institution had humbled itself by soli citing relief from a neighbouring nation, that it had in some degree relaxed its uniform rule in the reception of gold : had they done so, I have no hesitation in haying that large amounts would have found its way into their coffers which are now locked in those of private and Joint Stock Banks in the country. I am well acquainted and in constant correspondence with most of the bankers is Yorkshire, and I can assure ! ,ou there is scarcely an establishment in that extensive county but what is now, and has been for some time past, the holder of far more gold thin necessary, simply because it is not receivable at the counter of the Dank of England. _ _ It is also the uniform custom of the various collectors of Excise to reject, en masse, all gold which may be tendered them. By calling attention to this subject in your hi;hly respectable and useful paper, you will much oblige Your's very truly, A COUNTRY BANKER AND CONSTANT READER. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar, in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of Foreign Sugar. London, Nov. 8, 1839. The Gazette of this evening will quote the Per cwt. average price of British Plantation Musco vado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 37s. lid. The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the sth inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar-brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment, 9th Gco: IV., 28th July, 1828, and on which the above price is computed, consisted of 2,832 hhds. trs. and 302 barrels, and not of 3,200 hhds., as er roneously estimated in the market. Foreign Sugars of all descriptions are dull of sale— they may be quoted, quality for quality, at about 17s. per cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar. - The difference in the prices of the produce of the ro fineries which manufacture foreign sugars for exporta tion only, and of those which work West India sugar for home consumption, remains much the same as we -.quoted last week. The variable state of the wind prevents the sugar ships, which are in the Channel, from making the River : we have as yet, consequently, no sugar to land this week, against 870 hhds. landed in the corresponding week of last year. It is, however, well known that upon a change of wind we shall have a large supply of sugar both from the East and West Indies: The purchases in the market have been considerable since our last report, and a shilling per cwt. advance has been paid ; but as the grocers have nearly com pleted their orders for the Christmas supply, we may expect that in the Course of a week or ten days prices will again recede. DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 6.—The Handlcsblad contains to-day (in two columns and a quarter) the commence- ' merit of an article on the " Finance of the Country— the Transmarine Possessions." The following is the in troduction to the article : " We have in two former numbers communicated some general observations on the finances of the coun try, and the ruinous increase of the national expendi ture. If we consider the expenditure in connection , with the resources of the kingdom and the heavy debt under which the State labours, it must be allowed that the state of the finances of the kingdom is very unfavourable, and that every moment's delay in making vigorous efforts to place them on a better footing, is a step nearer to a disastrous bankruptcy. Independently of other considerations, it must give an unfavourable idea of the finances of the country, that the ways and means fur de fraying the expenditure of 1840 are estimated at 56,386,298f1., the expenditure being estimated at 56,378,600{1. ; the whole surplus, in a budget of nearly 60 millions, being the great sum of 9,698,60011. This unfavourable result is still greater when we consider that many items of expenditure are not precisely stated as among the disbursements ; that not a single cent. is allotted in the budget for the payment of the public debt. But this result is again more unfavourable when we look at the manifold incongruous items of re ceipts among the ways and means. It needs no proof that the burdens of the nation are not lightened, that the taxes, which, of late years, have been in creased to such an excessive degree, experience no diminution either in the principal sum or on the additional cents (opcenten), and that in re viewing the state of our finances we are to rejoice that the burdens of the people of the Netherlands are not again augmented. Among the ways and means for 1840 we find in the first a million as surplus receipts of the preceding year, which we suppose the Government would not have taken into account without being suit of that million, though we think a specific statement desir able. But the happy result of the budget of 1840 by which we arc to reckon on a surplus of 7,690 florins, with a budget of nearly six millions, was not to be obtained without plading in the ways and means the great sum of 11,220,00011. from the revenue of our Colonies, nar which ono w ur lo e a x n tra o rl s t y fi nanc i al millions of florins is to be raised on account of the Co lonies, by which the heavy debt the debt that already already oppresses the East will be s o much in creased, and the respons ibility of the kingdom for the payment of th e interest g oh hsaeendseo last on article g a srtt Saturday, e h aetthicaeYotnlordy, and several sles fo augmented."niae enters.

The Birmingham Journal states, that trade in that town is almost, if not entirely, at a stand. If mat ters do not mend, it is said, there will be four or five thousand workmen in Birmingham alone condemned to Bd. to 6d . . per piece. partial, if not total, idleness, in the course of a week or two. The Kendal Mercury, in speaking of the condi tionit has of the Carlisle cotton weavers, says the manufac turers have reduced wages from The Blackburn Standard, although a Tory journal and an advocate of the Corn-laws, is forced to admit, that resenttoantohrie anomalous " bad as has been the trade for several weeks, been getting still worse since last report, with the pros pectil l iit explanation contrive o ft the e furnishp of a future decline.
