Illustrated with Cases, &c. By J. L. CURTIS and COMPANY, Consulting Surgeons, London. ?üblished by the Authors, and sold by Ralliere ' Medical Bookseller, 219, Regent-street ; 011ivier, 5 9, Pall Mall ; S ,range, 21, Paternoster-row ; Pattie, 4, Brydges-street, Strand; Machen and Co., 8, D'Olier-street, Dublin ; Duncan 114, High-streetlEdinburgh ; and to be had of all Booksellers. The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tiL,s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in- difference, by the c dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much mere fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed prxctiag se often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless tie' evil be checked in proper time. lie will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No, 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as miunte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

Should trade be dull and times go rough, Oh, give me then a pinch of snuff ; Give me my box a pinch to take, E'en when I'm pleased for pleasure's sake. When fortune's frowns disturb my mind, And friends appear to grow unkind ; Relief I seek within my box, My system is quite orthon'ox. When a true friend perchance I meet, I cheerfully his person greet, A hearty " How do you do ?" takes place, When, lo ! my snuff-box shows its face My pulveriforous box supplies A recipe for weakly eyes ; That man mast be a silly goose Whir thoughtlessly condemns its use. If my proboscis cotald but speak, ''would often say—the dose repeat ; Each grateful sneeze at.d tittilation Excites a frequent iteration. Then here's my glass in which I toast, Success to that which I love most ; Reader, I pray don't think me bluff— Mark well the hitt Gar Nisi-or:F.'s Snuff. W. 11. H.

TIIE FOLLOWING EXTRACTS CIVIC A BRIEF, BUT CORRECT ACCOUNT OF THE COUNTRY. Captain Wright, senior officer of his Majesty's naval force at Honduras, in a despatch, addressed, in the year 1808, to Lord Castlereagh, then Colonial Secretary, uses the following for cible language in reference to this country :—" Any descrip tion I can give will fall very short of the actual fact, either as to the produce of the country, or the disposition and sincere affection of the inhabitants towards the British nation. No country enjoys more advantages from water-carriage, for, be sides nineteen rivers, which are navigable for small craft to to the very interior, a chain of lagoons line the coast, accessible at the mouths of different rivers. The climate is mild for these latitudes, and, being continental, not near so hot as the islands of the same parallel." Captain Speer describes the country as " full of large rivers, that run some hundred miles up into a fine and fruitful coun try ; the soil producing everything that usually grows in North America and the West Indies."--Columbian Navigator. Captain Speer, after describing the country, says, " This is a small sketch of one of the finest and healthiest tracts of country in the world. It bath been in the possession of his Britannic Majesty's subjects upwards of one hundred and thirty years ; and is the only retreat for our people cutting logwood in the Bay of Honduras, If encouraged it will be a valuable settlement, and not liable to the ill consequences which change of climates have upon the European constitutions. .. .

We scarcely deem it necessary to address our read ers again upon the subject of the claim of Alderman Harmer to fill the Civic Chair for the ensuing year. Not the shadow of a shade of an accusation has been brought against him by the Tories, which the Adver tiser and its Liberal Contemporaries have not trodden in the dust ; and, what is still further to the purpose, we have reason to believe that no Alderman of repute will consent either to be put in nomination in his stead, or, if elected, to accept the office. This is as it should be, Alderman Harmer deserves well of the public for many acts both of public and private bene volence ; and Aldermen Pirie and Johnson, if we judge of them rightly, are of too high bearing to be made either the cat's-paws of a party, or the instru ments of a personal malignity. If th e Li ve ry do thei r duty this day, and during any poll that may happen to ensue, there can be no doubt of the triumphant election of Alderman Harmer to the ensuing Lord Mayoralty ; but if, on the contrary, they allow themselves to be car ried away by misrepresented statements and unfounded prejudices, all we have to say is, that they will not only disgrace themselves and the cause they pretend to sup port, but also place it in the power of the Sheriffs and Lord Mayor for the time being to render the representa tion of the City of London completely Tory. This is a consummation not exactly to be devoutly wished ; but if they mean that their candidate should be successful, they must be one and indivisible proof against all preju dice and Tory misrepresentation. ( From the Times.) HAIVIMERSLEY'S BANK. (From the Circular to Bankers.) Some fifty or sixty years ago, the old and eminent hanking house of Herries and Co. were the only firm inEngland who had adopted the practice of issuing notes payable on presentation or at a few days' sight at vari ous large towns throughout the Continent of Europe ; it was a circulation of the greatest possible convenience, safety, and utility to travellers and temporary residents in foreign countries, and it was very properly, and with much foresight as to the consequences, so arranged by the introducers of the practice, as to render the accom modation to the applicants or the public easy and eco nomical to them ; so that they always felt obliged for the opportunity of resorting to it. It was also, no doubt, a lucrative kind of business to the issuers of the notes. The amount of this circulation must have been greatly curtailed by the French revolutionary war ; but still it was almost an exclusive field, and it had, as may fairly be assumed, rendered a good return to the enter prising firm with whom the practice originated. The war must terminate ; and those who were in possession of the field of operation, and were acquainted with all the circumstances, places, persons, and details necessary to the conduct and management of such a business, would have great advantages on the renewal of inter course with the Continent of Europe. Few persons knew anything about the extent of the profits of this kind of banking business ; but among these few would he the confidential clerks of Messrs. Herries, and one of them was the late Mr. Thomas Hammersley, the father of Mr. Hugh Hammersley, just deceased. Mr. Hammersley quitted his position as clerk, and entered into co-partnership with Messrs. Morland and Ransom, under the firm of Morland, Ransom, and Hammersley. This firm did not remain united many years, and it was understood on its dissolution, that there was a balance of loss to be borne by each of the several parties. It might not be a very large one, at least not amounting to a sum that could materially im pede the operations of a great and substantial London banking firm ; but supposing it to be not more than 20,0001. for Mr. Harnmersley's share, it was to that extent a load on that gentleman's shoulders in his subse quent struggles. He then, upwards of thirty years ago, formed a co-partnership under the firm of Hammersleys, Montelieu, Greenwood, Brooksbank, and Drewe—a union which would seem to promise great results in pro fit, seeing that Mr. Greenwood was in the high tide of prosperity as the leading army-agent, and the confiden tial friend of the Horse Guards, and that other mem ber: of the firm were capable by their connections of in troducing valuable business to the new banking office. It happened, however, that the new firm was under the principal direction of a mind deeply imbued with the bold and confident spirit of the times, a spirit which is in perfect contrast to that which governs the conduct of almost all experienced bankers of the pre sent day. They pushed their accommodation for the purpose of acquiring business, or they granted such ac cornodation on the representations of parties too readily. Among these was a bankat Honiton, in Devonshire,whicla failed many years since. It is said that the accommoda tion granted to this bank at its highest point considerably exceeded 280,0001. It was given principally in the shape of bills, accepted by Messrs. Hammersley and Co., and it was an understood arrangement between the parties that the sum of this kind of circulation to be constantly kept afloat should be about 200,000/. Bilis of this description, drawn on purpose to obtain Bank notes by discounting them, could not at this day be made to work at ail ; they even then moved heavily in cer -1 tain quarters; and we believe if it had not been for the ' friendly aid and co-operation of a Director of the Bank of England, now deceased, the whole scheme of raising money by this kind of circulation would have broken down much sooner than it did. Before the f a il ure o f t h e D evons hi re B an k , M essrs. Hammersley and C o . re d uce d t h e b a l ance from i ts highest point, which i s var i ous l y state d at sums b etween 280,0001. and 300,0001., as well as they could by get ting available securities and otherwise. For the final balance, which, after all practicable reduction had been effected, amounted, we believe, to 180,000/., they ac cepted, we were many years since informed, Is. or ts. 6d. in the pound ; consequently the real loss upon this account would not be lest than from 160,0001. to 170,0001. It would be instructive if we could tell by what means and gradations borrowers contrived to in volve Messrs. Hammersley and Co. in this large and ruinous liability. The bankers at Honiton made a great show of possessions in land upon which securities for the advances would be given ; but, according to our information, these were no further available for the pay ment of the great debt than we have above stated. Whether the then existing partners of the firm of Ham mersley and Co. took each his share of this enormous amount of loss, or it was left as an incubus on the bank to be liquidated by the accruing profits of that establish ment, we do not know. The latter seems the more probable, seeing that the firm was gradually stripped of every one of its members, except the lamented Mr. Hugh Hammersley. Whilst the firm was subject to the aforesaid influence, viz. was under the direction principally of its founder, Mr. Thomas Hammersley—other losses of considerable magnitude were incurred, either by that gentleman in dividually, or by the house over which he presided. There was one with an office-bearer in his Majesty's Treasury, amounting to a sum approaching to 40,0001. What portion of this sum may have been subsequently liquidated by the connexions of the party on whom the obligation rested, we do not know. Then there was a much larger suns which Mr. Thomas Hammersley Eng lish ad vanced to a firm for the manufacture of soap carried on in the Borough of Southwark. The loss here, we be lieve, was little, if anything, short of 80,0001. The history of this soap manufacture would be interesting and instructive, it related circumstantially in detail ; we must episodically advert to some of the leading facts, for they are pregnant with warning to men of property, and such as have the command of large sums of money. , place in the An ingenious person, of the name of Phelps, pro fessed the art of making soap of a better quality than when a considerable' e a n f t ter t n o o o o k n advance was established in the value of Consols. any other manufacturer of the article could produce. market until N la o fe m in ov t e h m e The profession was not a vain one—no regard Wog bad The day has been one of uninterrupted rain, which, to the cost—as the product exhibited bore evidence. 0n coining after a succession of similar unfavourable days, this showing he induced men of great property to join has caused some slight fears for the state of the crops in hitn with capital without careful examination ; costly works Scotland and Ireland, where a large part of the ry•est were raised, and the best plant was formed that labour, has not been secured ; but the Corn Market ing no symptoms of advancing this morning show- inaterials, and money could furnish.

And we t say that, if this ° within his income, iv boiler, he would at " Alderman Harmer's election is secure," says the only Morning Journal which has ventured to espouse his his cause. But how ? Why, because " Aldermen Johnson and Piria are men of too much honour to stand against him " Of course they are. Who ever supposed that two gentlemen, standing second and third in the order of rotation. would " offer themselves" to the Livery, in opposition to that Alderman who is their immediate senior ? But the will or the wishes of these two gentlemen have nothing whatever to do with the question. We believe that if the Livery show that they are determined not to have Mr. Harmer, there will be no difficulty in prevailing on either Alder man Johnson or Alderman Pirie to occupy the va cant chair. At present, however, the duty of both these gentlemen obviously is to say nothing whatever. To " offer themselves" in opposition to their senior would be obtrusive and ungentlemanly towards him. To decline, in positive terms, would be equally un courteous to the Livery. The only course for them is to maintain an entire silence until the return is made ; and then to settle it between themselves which of them shall accept the chair. The Livery will easily remember that there is nothing new in electing even an unwilling Alderman. In 1831, to secure Sir John Key's re election, they chose first Alderman Kelly, and then Alderman Thompson, in conjunction with Sir John Key, neither of these Aldermen having the least incli nation to serve the office. Let the Livery, then, attend in good numbers at Guildhall to-day ; and let them bear in mind that their course is to return Alderman Thomas Johnson and Alderman Pirie ; and we believe we may safely assure them, that in taking that course they will obtain a very respectable Chief Magistrate for the year ensuing. NIONE Y MARKET and CITY NEWS• (MONDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—The Tobago papers speak of a great mortality there. Though the island, it was said, con tinued free from contagion or epidemic, there had been a calamitous mortality amongst the white population through climaterial sickness. This climaterial sick ness had for the last five years produced an average number of eases of indisposition, although rarely ter minating in death, to such an amount in the same period. This sickness was brought on by the wet, drought, and additional assiduity and increasing per sonal fatigue and exposure, which had of late devolved on planters. " For," says the Tobago Gazette, " dis guise it as they may, nothing but disgust ac tuates the general body of our planters and their relatives at the lot which has been ruthlessly assigned to them ; and it will excite very little surprise in the planters of other colonies to learn, that from this colony another sixth part of its European population have engaged berths, or are about to engage them to leave the island. One vessel takes near!) , twenty—the Forester. No wonder if that im mense waste of life is to be ascribed to the increase of personal fatigue—incessant personal watching and urging of the labourers to their duty—that it should hasten those who have still health and strength left to get away to make their escape, to enable them either to person ally apply For the means of relief to their constituents at home, or, failing that, to embrace some other sittia don less perilous to their lilies.' No little confusion of ideas seems to have arisen out of a rumour that the Indian mail has been stopped at Alexandria. If that of the 4th ult. is referred to, it is already known to have passed on ; if that of the 4th inst., there has not been time enough since its departure from England to ascertain the fact. The whole arises, probably, from an intimation said to have been given by Sir R. Stopford, that he should use his discretion in not allowing them to go on, if he foresaw any danger of their being stopped on the route. This, as the Admiral on the station, it would be his duty to do in any circum stances, but it is a very different thing from an actual stoppage, of which there has not yet been time to re ceive any account. C H RON ICLE.--Through the intelligence received by the Lisbon mail of the 21st instant, it be seen that the revolt in Portugal has been put down, and t h at the plan submitted to the Cortes by the Finance INlinister in his relatorio was brought forward on the 15th instant, and passed. Onr readers will thus be enabled to judge of the accuracy of our information on this subject, and we think we max now safely say that the proposal of the Minister of Finance will not meet with much opposition in the Upper Chamber, so that there are good grounds for expecting that something will speedily come off for the advantage of the bond holders. _ • • The writer of an article on " the Hammersley Bank," in the Bankers' Circular, estimates the assets as equal to 1.55. in the pound, but we are glad to find thlit our correspondent entertains hopes of the complete solvency of the estate. In that case the subject re ferred to in his letter will be of less importance. A. gentleman of the name of Montelieu was in partnership, we believe, with the late Mr. Hammersley, and the Bankers' Circular gives the firm as " Hammersley, Montelieu, Greenwood, Brooksbank, and Drewe." W e do not know whether Mr. Montelieu be alive or not, but it he be alive he will be able of course to explain (assuming the statement of our correspondent to b e correct) how it happens that his name was inserted in a Bank power of attorney, " not many months since," along with that of Mr. Hugh Hammersley. this moment be in possession of landed property wore very little short o f a m illi on s t er li ng , w hi c h is for ev,. alienated from his family. Nothing could more forcibly illustrate the different consequences flowing from provi dence and improvidence than the fact, that a part of the same estate of Aston Hall was purchased by Mr. Whitehead, banker of Warwick, and from its proximity to Birmingham, it is likely to become a property of great value. Why do we refer to those circumstances ? Because they are, even in this naked sketch, pregnant with in struction. A great London bank has stopped piyment, holding deposits which are stated to amount to 650,0001., and having promissory notes circulating in all parts of the Continent of Europe amounting to a very considerable sum ; and, as we believe, it is brought to this state, not from any misconduct on the part of the late possessor and director of the office, as far as the management of the funds entrusted to him is con cerned, but from the misconduct of those who preceded him. Mr. Hugh Hammerslev inherited a lucrative bu siness, encumbered with dreadful losses. A long course of years might have brought about solvency, and laid a solid foundation of wealth. We are bound to explain these things, and to trace the evil to its sources. These sources are mainly 1. A loss on Mr. T. Hammereley's leav ing the firm of Morland, say 2. A loss with the Honiton Bank, which we put down ...... 160,000 3. A loss in the Soap Factory £260,000 We believe that under the management of the late Mr. Hugh Hammersley this large sum was in the course of gradual liquidation from regularly accruing profits. There is no doubt that a very valuable de scription of business had been attracted to the office,. and we believe if the disaster had occurred a few years sooner, the creditors would have received a smaller dividend—the assets being new stated to be equal to the payment of about 1.55. in the pound. The rapid sliding away of property from opening the sluice of improvident confidence, and the slow recovery of it by care and circumspection—for a quarter of a cen tury has elapsed since any of the losses here stated were incurred—are notable facts worthy of the consideration of all bankers and merchants. SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES. A pamphlet has just issued from the press, entitled American Churches the Bulwark of American Slavery, by our now well-known and highly esteemed friend, Mr. Birney. The matter is so important, and a prompt and extensive circulation of it so desirable, that we have inserted the whole of it in our impression of this day. The extent to which most of the churches in Ame rica are involved in the guilt of supporting the slave system is known to but few in this country. So far from being even suspected by the great mass of the re ligious community here, it would not be believed but on the most indisputable evidence. Evidence of this cha racter it is now proposed to present—applying to the Methodist Episcopal, the Baptist, the Presbyterian, and the Protestant Episcopal Churches. It is done with a single view to make the British Christian public ac crlainted with the real state of the case—in order that it may, in the most intelligent manner possible, exert whatever influence it possesses with the American Churches to persuade them to purify themselves from a sin that is fast bringing them under its dominion, and that threatens in the end wholly to destroy them.—Anta- Slavery Reporter. The following are extracts from the work : Of the twenty-six American States, thirteen arc slave States. Of the latter, Maryland, Virginia, Ken tucky, Missouri, and Tennessee (in part), are slave selling States ; the States south of them are slave buying and slave-consuming States. Between the slave-selling and slave-buying States, the slave-trade is carried on extensively and systemati cally. The slave-trader, on completing his purchases for a single adventure, brings the gang together at a convenient point ; confines the men in double rows to a large chain running between the rows, by means of smaller lateral chains tightly riv etted around the wrists of the slaves, and connected with the principal chain. They are in this way driven along the highways (the small boys, the women, and girls following), without any release from their chains till they arrive at their ultimate place of sale. Here they occupy barracoons till they are disposed of one by one, or in lots, to those who will give mcst for them. Ministers and office-bearers, and members oP churches are slave-holders—buying and selling slaves (not as the regular slave trader), but as their convenience or inte rest may from time to time require. As a general rule, the itinerant preachers in the Methodist church are not permitted to hold slaves—but there are frequent excep tions. There are, in the United States, about 2,700,000 slaves. and 400,000 free people of colour. Of the slaves, 80,000 are members of the Methodist church ; 80,000 of the Baptist ; and about 40,000 of other churches. These church members have no exemption from being sold just as other slaves are. Instances occur in which slave-holding members of churches sell slaves who are members of the same church with themselves. And members of churches have been slave-auctioneers. In the slave states a slave cannot be a witness in any case, civil or criminal, in which a white is a party. Neither can a free-coloured person, except in Loui- siani. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois (free states) make co loured persons incompetent as witnesses in any case in which a white is a party. In Ohio, a white person can prove his own(" book") account not exceeding a certain sum, by his own oath of affirmation. A coloured person cannot, as against a white. In Ohio the laws regard all who are mulattoes, or above the grade of mulattoes, as white. There is no law in the slave States forbidding the several church authorities making slave-holding an of fence, for which those guilty of it might be excluded from membership. The Society of Friends exists in the slave-states—it excludes slave-holders. The slave States make it penal to teach the slaves to read. So also some of them, to teach the free coloured people to read. None of the slave-holding churches, or religious bodies, so far as is known, have, at any time, remonstrated with the Legislatures against this ini quitous legislation, or petitioned for its repeal or modi fication. Nor have they reproved or questioned such of their members, as, being also Members of the Legis atures, sanctioned such legislation by their votes. The " house-servants" are rarely present at family worship ; the " field-hands," never. It is only one here and there that seems to have in telligent views of the nature of Christianity, or of a future life. In the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Epis copal churches, the coloured people, during service, sit in a particular part of the house, now generally known as the negro pew. They are not permitted to sit in any other, nor to hire or purchase pews as other peo ple, nor would they he permitted to sit, even if in vited to do so, in the pews of white persons. This ap plies to all adorned persons, whether members or not, and even to licensed ministers of their respective con nexions. The " negro pew" is almost as rigidly kept up in the free states as in the slave. In some of the older slave States, as Virginia and South Carolina, Churches, in their corporate character, hold slaves, who are generally hired out for the support of the minister. The following is taken from the tharleston Courier, of Feb. 12, 1835 : Field Negroes, by Thomas Gadsden.—On Tuesday, the 17th instant, be sold at the north of the Ex change, at ten o'clock, a prime gang of ten negroes, accustomed to the culture of cotton and provisions, be longing to the Independent Church, is Christ's Church Psrish.—Feb. 6. Chancellor Harper, of South Carolina.—lt is the lar der of nature and of God, that the being of superior fa culties and knowledge, and therefore of superior power, should control and dispose of those who are inferior. It is as much in the order of nature, that men should enslave each other, as that other animals should prey upon each other. Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle.—" He [Ames Dresser] should have been hung up as high as Haman, to rot upon the gibbet, until the wind whistled through his bones. The cry of the whole south should be death, INSTANT DEATH, to the abolitionist, wherever he is caught." [Amos Dresser, now a missionary in Jamaica, was a theological student at Lane Seminary, near Cincinnati. In the vacation ( Au g usta 1835) he und ertook to sell Bibles in the state o f Tennessee, with the view to raise means to continue his studi es . Whilst aise means there, he fell under suspicion of being an abolitionist, was arre sted by the V Co mm i ttee, igilance whilst a religious meeting i n the neighbourhood of Nashville, the capital of the State , and after an afternoon and even ing's inquisition condemned to receive twenty lashes on his naked body. The sentence o,clook was executed on him, between eleven and twelse on Saturday night.] Sentiments of Presbyteries and Syncds.—Although many of the influential P especially in the yterien Ministers in the free states, cities and large towns, have shown themselves ready dy to second the slave -holding laymen ministers andin their opposition to abo litionism, from some cause it has happened tha t the free -state Presbyteries and Synods, have not ns committed themselves , directly on the question. They have .attempted to st a y the progress of abo i ittionism, by r eso l ut i ons b ear i ng on it indirectly, but well understood by those who were to act under them t as intended to exclude, as far as was safe, the question el t.iil : Presbyterian Councils as a re at hand, have been pas::.ed by Presbyteries and Syncds in th e slave States. HOPEWELL PRESBYTERY, SOUTH CAROLINA. I." Slavery has existed in the Church of God from the time of Abraham to this day. Members of the Church of God have he:d slaves bought with their menev, end born in their houses ; and this relation is not only re cognized, but its duties are defined clearly both in the Old and New Testaments. 2. " Emancipation is not mentioned among the d e .. ties of the master :o his slave, while obedience even to the froward ' master is enjoined upon the slate. 3. " No instance can be' produced of an otherwise orderly Christian being REPROVED, much less EXCOM. MUNICATED from the Church, for the single act of holding domestic slaves, from the days of Abraham down to the date of the modern abolitionist?' HARMONY PRESBYTERY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. " Whereas, sundry persons in Scotland and Begleud, and others in the north, east, and west of our country, have denounced slavery as obnoxious to the lens of God, some of whom have presented before the General Assembly of our Church, and the Congress of the na tion, memorials and petitions, with the avowed object of bringing into disgrace slave-holders, and abolishng the relation of master and slave :—And whereas, from the said proceedings, and the statements, reasonings, and circumstances connected therewith, it is most ma nifest that those persons ' know not what they say, nor whereof they affirm ;' and with this ignorance discover a spirit of self-righteousness and exclusive sanctity," &c. " Therefore, 1. Resolved—That as the kingdom of our Lord is no of this world, Fis Church as such has no right to abolish, alter, or effect any institution or or dinance of men, political, or civil, &c. " 2. Resolved—That slavery has existed from the days of those good old slave-holders and patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (who are new in the king dom of heaven,) to the time when the Apostle Paul sent a runaway home to his master, Philemon, and wrote a Christian and fraternal letter to this slave-bolder, which we find still stands in the canon of the Scriptures —and that slavery has existed ever since the days of the apostle, and does now exist. "3. Resolved—That as the relative duties of master and slave are taught in the Scriptures, in the same manner as those of parent and child, and husband and wife, the existence of slavery itself is not opposed to the will of God ; and whosoever has a conscience too tender to recognise this relation as lawful, is righteous over much,' is wise above what is written,' and has submitted his neck to the yoke of men, sacrificed his Christian liberty of conscience, and leaves the infallible word of God for the fancies and doctrines of men." Sentiments of Presbyterian Ivlinisters.—The Rev. Gardiner Spring, D.D., of New York.—At the anni versary of the American Colonization Society at the City of Washington, in 1839, this gentleman appeared on the platform as one of the speakers, with Mr. George D. Wise (M.C.), of Virginia, a slave-holder and professed duellist. The latter had said in his speech, the best way to meet the abolitionists was with " Dupont's best" [gunpowder], and cold steel. The Sun, one of the New York City Journals, tells us—the Rev. Doctor " spoke with sympathy of the sentiments of the South as evinced in the speech of Mr. Rev. Themes S. Witherspoon, of Alabama, writing to the editor of the Emancipator : " I draw my warrant from the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, to hold the slave in bondage. The principle of holding the heathen in bondage is re cognized by Gad. . . . When the tardy process of the law is too long in redressing our grievances, we of the South, hove adopted the summery remedy of Judge Lynch—and really I think it one of the most wholesome and salutary remedies for the malady of northern fana ticism that can be applied, and no doubt my worthy friend the editor of the Emancipator and Human Rights, would feel the better of its enforcement, pro vided he had a southern administrator. Igo to the Bible for my warrant in all moral matters. . . Let your emissaries dare venture to cross the Potomac, and I cannot promise you that their fate will be less than Haman's. Then beware how you goad an insulted, but magnanimous people to deeds of desperation." Rev. Robert N. Anderson, of Virginia : To the Sessions of the Presbyterian Congrega tions within the bounds of the West Hanover Pres bytery : " At the approaching stated meeting of our Presby tery, I design to offer a preamble and string of resolu tions on the subject of the use of wine in the Lord's supper ; and also a preamble and string of resolutions on the subject of the treasonable and abominably wicked interference of the Northern and Eastern fanatics, with our political and civil rights, our pro perty, and our domestic concerns. You are aware that our clergy, whether with or without rea son, are more suspected by the public than the clergy of other denominations. Few, dear Christian brethren, I humbly express it as my earnest wish, that you quit yourselves like men. If there be any stray goat of a tni nister among you, tainted with the blood-hound princi ples of abolitionism, let him be ferreted out, silenced, ex . communicated, and left to the public to dispose of him in other respects. Your affectionate brother in the Lord, " ROBERT N. ANDERSON." Postscript.—We would have the reader bear in mind that the foregoing presents but one side of the anti slavery cause in the several churches whose proceed ings have been considered ; and that in them all there are Abolitionists earnestly labouring to purify them from the defilements of slavery ; and that they have strong encouragement to proceed, not only in view of what they have already effected toward that end, but in the steady increase of their numbers, and in other omens of success. We wish him also to bear in mind, that the churches which have been brought before him are not the only American churches which arc guilty is giving their support to slavery. Of others we have said nothing, simply because, to examine their causes, would be to make this work too long for the object we have in view—and because enough has been said to show sub stantially the state of the slavery-question in America, so far as the cituRCII in that country is connected with it. Lastly.—We take pleasure in assuring him that there arc considerable portions of the Methodist, Bap tist, and Presbyterian Churches, as well as the entire of some of the smaller religious bodies in America, that maintain a commendable testimony against slavery an d its abominations. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. A considerable number of the subscribers had left for Newmarket, anff, with the moiety present, not the sligliteq disposit . on to speculate was evinced. We did not hear a bet of any deseript:on. MADAINI LAFFARGE. A letter from Tulle states that on the night following her contiction, Madame Laffarge was sunk in the moat abject state of lethargy ; but towards morning, recover ing her wonted energy, she exclaimed, " All is not yet over between me and my enemies, and I hope to Lye long enough to prove my ionocence in the face of the world." The quidnunes remark upon the singularity of the accidents which detained M. Raspail, the chemist, on his way to Tulle. His carriage broke down thrice on the road. The declaration which he has since made, that he could extract from any piece of old fur niture as much arsenic as was found in M. Laff.r i :e's body, would very probably have produced a strong im pression on the jury, and had he arrived only n few minutes sooner, he would have been examined in Court, when his assertion might have probably turned • the scale in Madame Laffarge's favour, so great was the uncertainty of the jury, as Is evident from their verdict. Madame Laffsrgc's defenders hope to ovcrset the ver dict in the Court of Cassation, whose decision must he given within 40 days. Very many of the circumstances connected with this case are excessively singular, and there are not want in; in France persons of a superstitious turn who hold them to be perfectly mysterious, and almost supe,-na tural. A tradition is preserved at GlasCier (Laffarg* residence), from which it would appear that in form* times, upon the very same s p o t, a woman was condemned and executed, unjustly, for the murder of her husband. According to the same legend, it was for the expiation of this offence that the convent which is still to be seen in the neighbourhood was first erected. Again, at the conclusion of the trial more than one circumstance oc curred which furnished the superstitious with materials for the exercise their imaginative faculties. At the mo ment when the examination of the witnesses was concluded, a tremendous hail-storm broke upon the Valais de Justice, which was full to overflowing from the cumin :neetnent of the trial, several panes of glass were broLn, and even the very seats of the Judges were much wet—" inundated," to use the phrase the a French reporter.
