J. J. CARRUTHERS, seconded by the Rev. W. BRYAN, and supported by W: T. BLAIR, Esq., of Bath, It was unanimously Resolved, V First.—That this Meeting , deeply regret the attempt that has been made to divert the friends of the Negro from seeking his immediate emancipation, by the introduction of the Bill of the Colonial Secretary, intitulerl "An Act to amend an Act for the Abolition of Slavery in the British Colonies;" that, in their estimation, the provisions of that bill are altogether unsatisfac tory and inoperative; and that they are determined never to rest satisfied with any measure which shall continue Slavery, with any modification, under the tallaCious name of Apprenticeship_ On the motion of ADAM HODGSON, Esq., seconded by the Rev. J. H. SQuANcE; supported by JOHN SCOI3I.E, Esq., of London, It was unanimously Resolved, Secondly.—That this Meeting regard the endeavour to set aside the Motion of Sir George Strickland, and the advantage taken of that opportunity to press forward the Bill then before the House of Commons, together with the abrupt termination of the debate, when the partial statements of the advocates of the Colonists were in a great measure unanswered, as mani festly calculated to prejudice the decision of the question, in opposition to the prayer of numerous petitioners ; and that the further discussion of their claims for the speedy and uncondi tional abolition of their Apprenticeship is, therefore, rendered absolutely necessary. On the motion orthe Rev. H.llPNEtt.a, seconded by THOS.

On the Motion of the Rev. D. KING, of Glasgow, .seconded by the Rev. JAS. LISTER, it was unanimously resolved, Fourthly.—That this meeting are rejoiced tri learn, that Sir Eardley Wilmot has been so far restored to health.as to place upon the Books of the House notice of a Motion. in which the principle embodied in the petitions presented to Parliament is fully recognised; and they call .upon their representatives, whenever that motion shall be brought forward, faithfully to express, by their votes, the sentiments so strongly declared by a large body of their constituents, who, .casting aside every dif ference of opinion on - Other matters, are unanimous in their solemn purpose to rest eatistied with no enactment which fails to confer, forthwith, entire freedom tin every negro subject of the British empire.

Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 54, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9(1. and 4s. (id. each. - Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS; or any deleterious ingredient. y *** With each Box is given a Treatise cid Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on tninal weakness &c. &c.. containing hints worth knowin . those who are, or have been su ff erers to this dreadful and d astating malady. Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direct his attention to those dis orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which net only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of old ace. In that distressing state of de bility and ilefiCiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owinv, to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the fireat Doctor Swedonr became Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this denlorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of - the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country. Th 4 certainty with - which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long 'conti nental war they were the , inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier. in all cases where the slightest suspicion.of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has giyen such general satisfiction ? The Hyge- inn Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove Ike disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humour,, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mnst sceptical of their .astonishing and unequalled powers. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he taken without the Slightest wispicion of discovery—they require na restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a complete-cure without the least exposure to the patient. At any period 7 when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the diSease has,maile its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by movinlg the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it iin perativelv necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral e ben injudiciously administered. These PIPS should forma portion or all Medicine Chests, by sea and tand, and ought never tohe omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey. their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due effects on the constitution.

In perusing the various speeches deliveied at the anti slavery meetings we might imagine, unless previously informed of the contrary, that no change whatever had taken place in the condition of the slave,--that hischains were still as closely drawn around him as ever—that he was still doomed to the prospect of an interminable bondage—and that-the British Parliament had never in terfered by any enactment on his behalf. But what is the fact? Slavery is actually abolished ! There is now no such thing as slavery in any of the British colonies; The negroes are all emancipated, and_ only placed in a state of transition for their own good. It would he as absurd to call this state of transition a state of slavery as it would be fur any one to designate the stipulated ser vitnde of an English apprentice as a condition of bond age. But it will be said, that the negro has been invo luntarily bound as an apprentice-,he was no party to the agreement which binds him. No more is an appren tice boy in Great Britain. His parents render his servi tude compulsory. The government of this country has done the same in reference to- the negroes. arc, therefore, bound to say that it is improper to Call Stith meetings as that of Friday last "anti slavery" meetings- They are properly anti-apprenticeship meetings, and tl e promoters of such meetings are not one whit better em ployed than if they convened a seriei of public meetings for the purpose of compelling every Master in England to give up the indentures of has apprentices before the latter had fulfilled the respective periods of their servi tude. • It would be just as rational and just as'appropri ote to call the Tatter a " righteous cause" as to apply such a designation to the ant i•negro.apprenticeship sys tem. It is absolute nonsense to say tlrat we have a right to demand the immediate release of the negro . from the control of the master because the tatter has neglected to fulfil the conditions of the deed of indenture. Such a plea would certainly be admitted in a court of justice as between master and apprentice, but not if the parents, the contracting pat ties, were cognisant of, and gave their approbation to, any deviation from the strict terms of the original agreement. Such, is precisely the case of the negro. • The government of this country , acting thepart of a parent towards the negro, has sanctioned all the de viations which may have been observed in the conduct of the planters from the strict terms of the emancipation act. No one has, therefore, any. right to require from the planters the surrender of their claims upon - the la bour of their apprentices, It may be, and has been, alleged on the part of the anti •slavery agitators, that it was an act of injustice to wards the negroes, and unnecessary in itself, to compel the slaves to pass through a state of transition. It is contended that they ought to have been' completely emancipated at once. We have already said that they have been freed from their state of bondage, and we maintain that it is for their own benefit that they should be 'subjected to the intermediate state of apprenticeship, as a preparatory step to the assumptimr of all the rights of citizenship. We are fortified in this opinion by the recollection of the sad results which attended the uncon ditional and premature emancipation of the negroes in that flourishing island, St. Domingo, " whose exports," to use the words of an intelligent correspondent of the Standard, "at one pet iod were equal to the whole Bri tish colonies united, but which at the present day is not .only unable to supply the wants of other countries, but is reduced to the necessity of importing the staple article of sugar, g which, with common industry, has been indi genous to the soil,' for its own consumption." The same writer, in tracing this unfortunate change to its source, remarks, " I maintain that this great retrograde movement in the prosperity of St. Domingo arose en tirely from the effects of freedom acquired prematurely before society thieve was in a fit state to be able to appre elate so great a blessing, and to apply its industry to • promote and uphold the general good. The revolution which they effected for themselves, although they raised their independence as a state, has tended to degrade and place them on a scale of misery and poverty as abject as their condition is irretrievable. And yet," he pioceeds, " with this sad example before us, Britain is asked by the wild theorists of the present day, not only to risk the freedom and moral welfare of the Britiah negro, and 'the property of the planter and the EngliSh niorchant , but the very existence of our colonial possessions—' the firm est support of British power'—is threatened and in dan ger from the machinations of a reckless Class, who hesi tate not to force on our notice their philanthropic, but Mistaken and erroneous policy, at the expense and sacri fice of justice and the experience we have derived frcm other states." I t nlav flare v perhaps, be urged that s uc h di re f ul conse quences e not uniformly cha racter i ze d the sudden transition from a state of slavery to a condition of perfect freedom and independence. The example of Antigua may possibly be brought forward as an instance in which the Negroes have proved their capacity for the enjoy ment of such a change with credit to themselves and safety to our colonial possessions. We deny the rele vancy of such an argument. The slaves who obtained a sudden manumission in Antigua and elsewhere did not need the restraint of the intermediate state of apprentice ship. They have been long since prepared for the change which has taken place in their' condition. They had received a religious education—the best possible prepar ation for the enjoyment of freedom. They were, more over, less under the influence of those passions which have been engendered among the Negroes of Jamaica and other colonies by the injudicious interference of itinerant philanthropists. • It is a singular fact that almost all the agitation which has arisen on the subject of the abolition of the Negro Apprenticeship system has owed its origin to the partial and interested reports of some half dozen individuals, whose evidence must be considered as invalidated by their strong and insuperable prejudices against the planters. That our readers may know how to appreciate this evidence we shall just examine the mode of proceed ore adopted by Mr. Scoble, one of the speakers who-- figured in the meeting at the Amphitheatre. Of this - gentleman it is almost sufficient to say, in order to show - the value °Oils testimony, that he went out to Demerara . in the capacity of "Secretary of the British Society for abolition throughout the world." So he styles himself in a letter which we find in the Guiana Chronicle or' October 13th, 1837, addressed to the "Committee of the • American ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY." In the letter to which we refer he says that he went to British Guiana., "for the express purpose of forming an opinion on the condition of 'the Negroes under the apprenticeship sys tem." We do not know who or what Mr. Scoble is in his private - capacity. We do know, however, that he utters rank nonsense when he says that he went out to Demerara,." to forth an opinion" on the working of the- Emancipation Act. He went there with his opinion, already made up 'on the Subject. He went there for the, purpose of fishing for evidence corroborative of his conceivedpre opinions. But while we are treating of Mr- Scoble we cannot resist the temptation to transfer the following portrait from the Guiana Chronicle,. Mr. Scoble says in the commencement of his letter, that, on his arrival here, he was attacked by the Press, and designated as "the Aldennanbury Spy" and the "arch enemy of the co lony." And what else, we would ask this gentlemen or his friends was he, or has he since proved himself to be ? Did he not come here as the paid envoy of a faction, whose avowed ob ject was to induce the British government to break a solemn compact by abolishing the apprenticeship; —and, when here, did he not prowl about the colony everywhere sowing sedition, and everywhere infusing disaffected principles in the minds of the negroes ? Did be not visit, and receive the visits of, the apprentices by stealth at . night, and then inculcate doctrines subversive of peace, and tending to nothing but discontent and ditorder? Did he not, we repeat, do all this—and then we ask, are not the terms, unsavoury as they may be, of " hired spy, and enemy to the colony," well deserved and fairly earned. _ _ _ TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1838. The Publication of the STAN DARD commenced this morn ing at 6 o'clock. THE ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.—It will be seen that the advocates of "immediate emancipation" held ano ther meeting in this town on Friday last. We have given in another column a brief report of the proceed ings. Before we proceed to - offer any remarks upon the speeches delivered op this occasion, we must express our deep sorrow at the frequent agitation of this question. The discussions which have recently taken place in refe rence to the determination of the apprenticeship system in August next are calculated to produce the most alarm ino. effects. . The violent language so often indulged in by most of the speakers cannot fail to create a spirit of insubordination among the negroes. The stimulating ex pressionsmttmed at these anti-slavery meetings will be carefully retailed to the negroesthemselvesby parties who are interested in exciting a spirit of disaffection among them. The denounced planters also will, in all probability, be tempted to measures of 'a retaliatoty na ture, and thus the very conSequencek deprecated by the anti-slavery agitators may be brought upon the objects Of their apparent Sympathy. We do not hesitate to say • that much of the ieal sUfferings of the apprentices is owing to the injudicionS and ignorant zeal manifested by those who assume the popular character or" the negroes' friends," and that they are answerable for many of the evilS Upon which so Much eloquent declamation is wast ed., What is more likely to make the negro discon tented with his present lot, which few will say is not much better than that of the English labourer, than to be constantly told that his master is a tyrant, and that he is entitled to his freedom in consequence of the non-fulfil ment of certain' conditions on the part of his owner? I What, again, is more likely to tempt the master to re i sort to measures of cruelty than to h ave un j ust l y i m - . . I pitted to him attocitles of lNitieli he feels hint;elf to be Mr. Scoble, however, has indulged in a little of the tra veller's licence," in saying that his person was threatened in this colony—this is a gratuitous Falsehood, uttered in the cant ing. whim so fashionable with his party, which cannot fail to make a hero of him in Alderuaanbury all the rest of his days;— and therefore his end being so far gained, he cared little for the truth of the assertion. In describing the horrors of the apprenticeship system, Mr. Scoble says that " labour is compulsory now as ever ; the only.

" DANIL ASON, Secretary. Dock Office, April 19, 1838. MARLNE SURVEYOR'S OFFICE, April 18,,1838. had the si,iiisfactien of including. in my last Monthly -Report the alertheia of our Life Boats on the 22d and 2-3 d ult. I have now to repOet that Our_Western Life Boat, "Point of Air," has signalized herself in rescuing the Clew of Sloop Elizabeth, on the 16th instant; and in most persevering exer tions to save the CreW of the shin Athabasca of Whitby, Stephen Neslield, master, one unite and twelve seamen, which was ob a;erved on shore,at the back of West Hoyle yesterday morning, the boat succeeded :in reaching the inner margin of the bank when belle mile of dry sand extended between them and the ship. To haul their boat over was impossible, but the boat's crew calculated upon launching onward two smaller boats which had been driven upon the top of the bank; they proved, however, to be both stove. The boat's clew then ,proceeded to the line of breakers which divided them about 300 yards from the wreck, from whence they counted nine men. The only chance left was to pick up any one who might come on a spar thronghthe breakers, or force the Life-boat through the mitts soon as the tide had risen sufficiently; but when this °Ceuta ed, the lone, extending breakers thr.tatened instant destruction, and obliged them to beat' . up for self-preservation.; and, at the time of my information closing, Mr. Dawson, of Gronant, was re freshing them, and, 'by every means, stimulating another at tempt, on the turn of the tide, in case any one of the forlorn crew might be able to cling to the wreck over which the sea had been making clean lireaces. During the unavailing exertion of the Point of 'Air boat, the Hoylake Life-boat had failed in reaching the same position, where, however, she would have been equally cut off froth coin tunnication. Whilst these combined efforts were hut imper fectly known to us in Liverpool, it suggested itself, that if the Magazine Life-boat would be towed out to the back of West -Hoyle she might succeed. The unreasonableness of expecting any boat to stand the breaching of sea which the weather side of West Hoyle bank presents in a gale, and which was overwhelm ing a ship from 3 to 400 tons, or that she could exist under a towing process across a furi ous sea for 15 'miles; all was lost sight of for a moment. and Captain Chappell,' R.N., acgdiesced in the mail - boat rendering that service; fortunately, however, the Master of the boat at the Magazines saw the insurmount able difficulties, or we might have to add eight more seamen to the loss of the day, however laudable the design. And it may be judged, Sir, what was to he contended with, when Mr. Perry, agent to the Dublin Steam Company, told Mr. Willis, (of Chap man and Willis,) and Mr. Tomlinson, (of Kerr, Imrie, and C 0.,) that not one of their steamers would leave the port on the usual voyage; and on being pressed to allow a vessel to tow out the Life-boat, alluding to comoeusatiou, Mr. Perry said, " If five hundred pounds were offered, he could not entertain it after the consultation he had had with one of their experienced commanders." I should also observe, Sir, that Mr. Willis consulted the most persevering of the Steam Tug Masters, and he held out not a shadow of hope or practicability. I refer to these particulars of anxiety to send assistance to the distressed ship, even in the face of two other Life-boat stations in the re gion from Liverpool, in order to mitigate the lamentation we must all labour under, but which would be unspeakably aggra vated it' an impression existed, that more could or ought to have been done, or by systematic arrangements of the establishments at either the Magazines, Hoylake,,,nr Point of Air, enough had not been provided for. Without,' however, anticipating this fatal ca4e'as being on the defence, I consider thus much and the following due to the Duck Committee, and a community whose humane sensitiveness is proverbial; therefore it may, in propor tion as 'my opinion (and exertions to render this part of my charge efficient) may be esteemed, tend to disabuse the present excitement, if .1 assert upon the. conscience, and experience, and feelings of a brother sailor, that, if the Life-boats_ had pos sessed capacities hitherto unheard of, and had the facilities of the most powerful steamers been at command, nothing more could have been done;' for to have towed any boat to the wea ther-side of the bank (supposing it possible for any hoist to have lived under the operation,) would hare been positively sending a boat into instant destruction; in fact, the case was one of" utter helplessness, and defying all or any succour. The obser vations of a most active officer and seaman, Mr..oherwood; of Hoylake, are th!is:—" The ship (being dismasted) was not seen till eight a.m., four hours' ebb: the Hoylake boat was on her way full manned in seventeen minutes; they reached that part of the Welsh channel (never daring to go down tielbre awash to the weather side of the Hoyleyabreast of Point of Air, at I t a.m, ; they rowed on till abreast of Pipeclay Gutter (hoping to do at least what Point of Air boats had thine) they were obliged to.anchor, and only gave it up when the wreck was completely covered, and the bank outside would not afford protection."— He adds, " I never on any occasion saw the crew more active and persevering to save their fellow-men. It will impart some of the reconciling feeling I entertain, Sir, if I state, that in the l as t th ree y ears t hi s i s th e on l y case o f our boats not succeeding in that which they have set out about. And this case will appear to any gentleman, as to ale, an impos- Tilde one, if he examines the chart I now lay on your table, with the tracks of the boats and the, positiOn of the wreck. On the other ha n d, you will perceive, Sir, by a counterpart of the Life boat. return, laid before th e CO mm it tee a t th e c lo se o f l as t y e a r , that our boats its 1836 assisted 23 vessels and saved 66 lives; in 1837, assisted 9 vessels and saved 9 lives, in no case failing in reaching a vessel once seen in distress, or a single person who would avail himself of their presence. I am, Sir, with much deference,' • Your obedient Servant, 11.. M. DEN HAM, Capt. R.N. Marine Surveyor. To the Chairman of the Dock Committee. P.S.—Since the foreeoing, Sir, I am informed that the effici ency of the Life -boats as to the rapacity and fitments, and sort of crew h as b een i mpugned ; and that had the Point of Air boat been of better construction, she would not have failed by filling and becoming water-logged. To this I have only to reply, that the Boat did reach, and dwelt for hours at the spot purposed to be reach e d , and where no other Boat would have lingered longer, or haveoutreached ; and so far from tilling, retarding, or dismaying the efforts, she returned again, though the tide of flood had done its devastating work. With reference to the crew, the thirteen at novlake are hardy boatmen, so the eight at Magazines. The eleven at Formby are boatmen and fisher men by nature, 1 may say—all the best characters in the neigh bourhood! Whilst the Point of Air Crew, of eight, have be longed to the boat long enough to make them boatmen, (inde pendent of their anophibiOns habits,) the least time served by them being five years, and the two-thirds of them eleven years —all of the best character, and who never flinched or failed where possibility presented itself, and lest it may be a assumed a failure on the 22nd ult., when the crew of the sloop (Swan, of Glasgow) at anchor, two miles of lihyl, saved themselves — seven in number—in their own Boat, from the advantage of ha !(-) run to leeward, whilst the Life-boat was endeavouring to the teeth of the wind and long surf. I have to advance reason of exoneration that a seaman can require, if enough herein combined wing t go in every is not H. M. DENHAM. -<l TT,'s o .....: ..
