GI:EAT ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING, O'n Frilly, at two o'clock, a meeting waq held in the A...lophi rir'atre —the worshipful the Mayor in,the chair—for the purpose or petitioning parliament in favour of the total abolition of Sl:ll.,•ry thr2nahout the British dominions (luring the present Year, Too meeting was called in consequence of a requisition' to which the nimes of 176 of the most wealthy and respectable it licitluals, of all shades of political and religious feeling, were attached. Toe, theatre was -lighted on the occasion ; and the briie4 were filled with elegantly dressed ladies. The other Otos of t hohonsewere densely crowded.. On the platform we . . observed Edward Cropper, Esq., 'l'. Blackburn, Esq., A, Hodg son, Esq - . N.. Kaye, Esq., John Jones, Esq., J. Itylev, Esq., D'. Sutherland. D. Hodgson, Esq., T. Morechift; Esq., the R.'v. F. Ould, Rev. Hugh M`hleile,, Rev. J.. Lister, Rev Mopes Fisher, Rev. J Carruthers, Rev. J. Kelly, Rev. Wan. Scylla; end a number of other gentlemen; • Shortly after two o'clock his worship the Mayor male his appearance on the platfertn, and,received. a most enthusiastic reception. He was accompanied by the Town-clerk. The latter having read the requisition— • . The Alavott said they ,vere aware that this was the first meeting held out of the ,Sessions'-house. It was an .unusual course, and he relied on the good . feeling and good sense of his, fell Ow-townsmen to justify him in the novel situation in_which he had consented to place himself in holding a town's . meeting itt . the Amphith ea tr e .. Th e su bj ec t on w hi c h they, had Met : was most important in itself, and roost important to,theirfellew. creatures ; and he hoped the discussion would be so chndueted. as to chew that they wertimpressed with the impertange,of the subject —to show thatf,a, holy and riglateous,,eahse needed no . , declamation, no violence to support it ;. : but, being fohrided on truth and justice, that truth and justice should prevail. , It wag . not by misrepresentation, or imputingmotives to others, that a g . 9od cause could be successful. Every gentleman carne forward,' whether favourable or unfavourable to the object of the Weetipg, should he heard with caluanessand impartiality. The Rev. Mr. C;%RAIUTHERS moved the first resolution. name-, That the meetine deeply. regretted the attempt ,that ,had, been made to diVert the mind of the negro from seeking hisatn mediate emancipation by the introduction pf, the bill,of the, Colonial Secretary, intituled ' An Act to amend an Act for the.. abolition of Slavery in the British Colonies;' that, in their esti-. mation, the provisions of that act.are altogether unsatisfactory and inoperative; and that they are determined. never to rest satisfied with any measure which shall continue slavery with any medification under the fallacious name of apprenticeship,". Mr. C. said, he would leave it to his esteemed and honoured friend, the Secretary of the, Anti-Slavery Society in this towh. to .state the provisions of the ministerial measure, and to show its . inadequacy to accomplish the. ends of, its projectors. They wished to confer net the .name hut the reality.el freedom upeo, those men, every one et, whom hed a right to expostulate with. his oppressor, and to sa,Oo him,_" Am I not a man and a bre s , titer?' This wish, proceeded from the conviction that ,thera. Was no neutral grohnd il . the. question—no medium betwixt the, positions that everymanwhs either a freeman or a stave. Until, the : West Indians had voluntary locomotion.—until they had all . the privileges belonging to . British subjeets—they were in reality : in a state of thraldom. If they would not deny tho dictates—if they would nor resist hliedeinands (If jtistice, or sacrifice the, claims of humaßity, or the higher claims. of_ the religion they, professed 2 —if they would . .not stultify, themselves before the, world, let them never rest satisfied with any measure that did not go to the full and entire liberation of those }who in . spite _of pledges and promises were still bending beneath an unrighteous dominatioh.—(Applauie.) • The Rev. WIJ.LI BEVAN, Secretary to the JAverpol Anti- Slavery Society, said that in rising to discharge the, luty im passl:upon him. it.would he necessary to preseht, the bill to them passed- for, amending the abolition act. The feeling of the country en the questien had led to a course of conselidation on the part of the friends of ,the negro ; and it, was this which had caused the adoption by government of a, remedy for the evils cemplained of. At first that feelingappearcri to be slight; hut iq avery short pet iod„that grohnd was admitted on high autho-, rity;ant - l_en that ground, the measure he was to subunit to them passed the houses of parliament, and received the royal sanction.., 1r was singular that it was admitted in one house of parliament and dehied in the other. In six marked and separate instatices, selected from his ,speeches, Lord Glerielg admitted, that the, staterdents of Lord Brougham were not exaggerated , while, the under,secretary denied to theta) that measure of truth,, .Mr. Bevan here pointed out differences betwixt the two secreteties on various other points. It was rathersiugular that on gitaihtls, so divorse, deniedd - by one and admitted by the other, the same, measure should take its stand. The measure was now gone forth to Crime into operation in the West India colonies. tilaf measure he should now address .h . imself, and if he should go not - into declamation, but into statements of facts, he hoped he should beexcuSed. rev, gentleman then proceeded, at some length, to analyse the several, clauses of the act, and to., point mit their defects, Us also alluded to the inereaeed pehal. ties which were inflicted on. the slaves as computed with those they were liable to under the old system.; and to the obstacles which the planters threw in their way to the obtaining of their freedom. reference to the registration of the.apprentices, Mr. B. pointed out, in a striking manner, the crooked and selfish phlfey of the planters, In. March last.year a bill tipple subject was sent home by the Colonial Legislature, which met the wets, appreliation of Lord Glenelg, who congratulated the governor, Sir Lionel Sinith, that a, good understanding now existed bar tiwitt him and the House, of Assembly. This act, howeVer, Aisle(' only thirty days, and Lord, Glehelg soon after declared, that be had pronounced amore favee:able opinion of the act than he was warranted to give. They were met -on that ocean sien thtt they might seek such a repeal of that .and of all other acts of the same description, as should leastWeen,the high, road to the emanciption of the negro and his friends. , Mr. Bevan concluded by beseeching the meeting to let a voice go forth Prom it and an . parts of the country, which should fill the ears of those who heard it, while the friends ofjustit:e maintained their ground. .They had a cause dictated by justice, lowed by the sanctions Of religion, and which he, hoped would be, ere long, crowded with an abundant blessing (ruin their gracious fled. (Great applause.) The Mayon said he should now introduce a gentleman who was to support . the motion. The gentleman's name was Mr, Blair, of Bath. Mr. BL AIR sail he very much feared that indisposition, and a. consequent weakness of voice, would prevent him, as it had dime at Birmingham the day before, from going so luny into the case before them as he would wish to do. In advocating a great moral case of that kind, it was useful to,go baek to first principles, that they might be able to pronuence at all tones fearlessly on the side of truth and duty. He should now take :. the liberty of adverting to one great fundamental. principle,,,l because that. was the only gropnri en which abolitionists should talke tiseir stand, namely, that slavery, in any coanitt.y, whether in Sparta or at Rome, or in the United States of America, whe re the clanking of the slave's chains without was heard in the seats,ef jpsticP,, giving the lie to the sound of liberty within —Uherever.slavery existed, it was utterly indefensible. VA's not a nuisance to be abated, but a grime of the highest dyan He would not condescend to go into the discussion of this pies.- thin as a matter of detail ; it was with him matter. of high prin cjple. It was not with him a question whether the apprentices were well or ill treated, whether they received their fuli allow ance of corn—whether they rotted . on a dunghill, or were pant-. hered to gratify. their owners'. lusts—the teal and the final question was, whether any, human being cupid lawfully, have property, in another human being- e -(great applause)—whether one man bad a right to the uncompensated labour oft another akin He maintained that the right of every man to the fruit of bcirlwn. labour was, above all other rights, and was rine which no,pswer on earth could take away. If this was ,admitted to lie a sound principle, and founded 00 reason awl religion, they t rid pfone great stumbling-bloCk, be meant that of the alleged carripect betwixt the planters and the apprentices. For his part he believed in no such compact; they had the opinion of the Chief Justice of the Qteen's Bench that, no .such compact eti,ster . l„,_ and he was tvilliug to rest his case on the authority_ of that, great lawyer. It, was, in point of .Tact, no better than a corripact betwixt a harid,of burglars and thieves.—( Laughter.) If A. and 11. entered the house of C. for the. purpose of robbing him—if, they.. proceeded to accomplish their ,wicked purpese, they were 'liable, by, way, of cntnpensation, be hung by the neck., (Lane-hter and applause.) If they entered ipso a cain pact to stealc.t he,n.it was a wicked coutpiten.end ought ti) be null and void, unless they adopted the maxim whish aaa.current birth in the new and the old world. that steitlinn, a horse trot a crime, but stealing a man was the attritrot,e.et, a tic•otieroiln. Let them tint, be told that that right, which. the At:night y hint conferred . on every, human being, of every clime, and every, eoronlesion, from the equater to,the pole, could be set,astile by legislative enactments ; No human law could supersede the taws ot .OMI. No compact could make man the, property of man, oi• 'interfere with the immutable rights of man to perfect freedem„ He asserted that the "compact" spoken. of by the planters had, been shamefully broken by theta ; that greater, cruelties then ever had been inflicted on the negroes, many of which. he de tailed, and•coatended therefore that even on the ground et there. being a compact it was now no longer binding, If he, were.unt, averse to weary them by reading stetenients,he could show that these wanton and horribly (natel practices applied es much to, British . Guiana and if a case was made out against Jamaica, , then an .equally strong case was made out against British ,Gut-' ana, which a certain gentleman. M r. Gladstone, had represented es the very oasis in the _desert, and against which no complaint had been metre, except by some anonyinuus slanderers. As he had mentioned Mr. Gladstone's name, he might make a remark on. that gentleman's appearance in parliament. - He was sorry that Mr. Gladstone had represented himself in the aspect he had done, and for this yeason, !Woo later than that morning he had learned that M r, Gladstone, in the. walls of private life, exhibited many-beautiful traits of Christian chargeter. Bntthis rendered his example the more dangerous. If they !emid sunk a, person, setting at nnught or trampling under foot the express itaiuuctiono - scripture, not to " rob the poor because lie is poor" drawing a part of his subsistence from the nnreqUited_ lehour of his fellow man--it' they found such a man Sanctioning by his exampie the horrid traits or sravery wherever it existed, then he (fhe'siVeaker ) trembled fur such an 'individual, and blushed for. the - fallacious example of Christianity, Which such cenduct re 'PreXented. If they saw only Such an exhibition of Christianity, they might say that it was not from above,—Core the Father' of lights; the Father 'of all goodness, but from beneath, front the father of hes. He might say as to Mr. Glatktime's speech, if ever there was a speech-in which labour . tvas•besroweilto make the Norse appear the better,capse it was in. that speech., It was worthy of the palmy . lays of slavery. It was a speech of the feed advocate (if the wrong" doer, the interested and, guilty p'strly: When they retnembered that Mr. Gladstone, or his family, had received eighty or a hundred thonsand pounds; wbich amount, instead of going into the pockets. of the wrong doer, should have gone to compensate the slaves for the loss of everything dear to man—(hear, and applause).--he (Mr.-IL) could not-wonder that he defended the system. - .• . ; The Rev. Henri Nl`Nrint ; I beg ten thousand pardons,•but I must protest Against personal allusions of this kind. • ( Vehe ment enplatise, with seine confusion. As there 'appeared to he tome difference of opinion amongst the auditors, the mayor The .Mayon.—Allow me to say I will have an orderly meet ing, and will be obeyed, or otherwise I will dissolve the meeting. Mr. M-'Neile has made an appeal very much in accordance as ith my own feelings. .(Applainte.).. - .Mr. Bt AIR said he had prefaced what he had to say of Mr. Gladstone, with the remark that it might not he in. accordance With their feelings, and be now boned to their decision.., He tr (lid not speak of Mr. Gladstone as a private man,,ut only as his,cenduct .was before the public in relation to the present ( 1 11 C"IPP, . What he had spoken of Mr. Gladstone had been wrung for him, and it was more in sorrow than in anger. What he should now say would refer to his arguments. It they were td assume, with Mr. Gladstone, that the planters in' the West Indies were the most calumniated of men, and that the slaves there were better off than the -poor of this country, then what Was to be said of the contrary statement of his own friends in parliament ? What was to be said- of Sir Edlard Sugden's speech, and of the admissions of Lords Glenelg and Sligo, to earrunthiest of the terrible denunciations of- Lord Brougham ? Whet were theyto say of the government bill itself, whi c h was intended to correct the evils complained of ? Either Mr. Glad stone proVed too much, or his case fell to the ground. When he drew their attention to British Guiana, he wishedt hem to look at.abitrunishrivent which had bees inflicted on the apprentices. Wittitn.lhe ;space of two months, one Sian in every five of the •POres. had been punished. They (the abolitionists) had been d irllininted asllininted to the punishments inflicted on t he ne g roes . r in er,sometehat nifferent manner, they, still found 4.: 4ecempaniments of slavery. The whio. chains, and tr -c' ,9 " 14 ' 11 . fled frequent mulc t s of the apprentice, when his time Was for the bine& of his master, which held out tempta- Linos to that master to prefer complaints twainst his apprentices they, who were .an asylum to foringners of every naote wh..were tieingjrum oppremgion ; they who were rea •y, to spill their bloiiit in defence of freedom ;—shi2tilti they took •on and behold the indiction of tortures on the wilted horlies of humao 'wings, which would subject the oftsiolers to the pe, nary of: the la:: if inflicted on beasts in Bogland? (I.lear,. hear.)

That bill- would produce more annoyance and vexation in the West" [lilies than the righteous measure- they wished to introduce. Its provisions would be considered -insulting, and as interfering with the rights of the planters. Away, then, with all tinkering, and patching, and mending; let them lay the axe to-the root of the, evil, let them lay, the moral upas--treelevel with the ground. if -parliament turned a deaf ear to the nation's prayer, his hope and prayer was, that the great •and gracious Being, who inter posed to , deliver his oppressed, people from bondage, would arise in his inight, break tbe.yolto of the prisoner and the hands of the oppressor, and let the oppressed. go free. M r. , Blair sat down amidst great, cheering,. . • , , • - • The.resolution was unanimously adopted. -Ana st HODGSON, Esq. said he had great pleasure in moving the following resolution :—" That this - meeting regard the eit deavour to set aside the motion of Sir George Strickland, and the advantage taken of that opPortnnity , to presit•fotivard the bill then before the House olConiurions, together with the abrupt termination of the debate, when •the partial statements of the' advocates of the colonists were in a great measure unanswered, u4.manifestly calculated to prejudice:the decision Of the ques tion;' in opposition to the prayer of numernes' petitioners; -and that the further discussion of their claims for the speedy and un conditienal abolition of the - apprenticeship; it; therefore, tett dered absolutely necessary." , He was happy - that it would , not require many observations for him to insure the cordial -concur rence,ot. the meeting with- that resolution: It was - antler hire toenquire into the particular parliamentary tactics that induciiii the course alluded to. The nation had only just awoke to a'full . apprehension of the- true state of the case. They seemed to have been perfectly secure that all they had wished was arcein plished, Though they had been roused, they were nutlet fully alive to the-whele iniquity.: If they now suffered'their feelings . to subside and-the-question to rest where it was, they Would he guilty of flagrant injustice to the cause of the oppressed- negro. The more the •question was discussed the more- the 'obscurity' that hang about the minds of men-liters of parliament 'respecting this important subject would be dispelled, and they wontd:be come convinced that the compact had been broken and the; ground left completely clear for fresh legislatorial interference. He could not sit down • without stating that nothing ought to satisfy the consciences or feelings-of the people of-England hut immediate and unconditional emancipation. (Cheering.) As an abolitionist of -twenty years'. standing ho should be sorry if anything happened that he could not look hack to‘witheatntort soists.fime-hence when the question was settled, and- he was convinced that it was very near its-settlement. • (Cheers.) , - • The Rev. M-r. SQIYA NCR seconded the resolution with great cordiality. He brought a warm; heart to the cause. Negro slavery be regarded as this darkest, end foulest, and blackest spot that ever stained the-charaeterof the British nation. 'No man trail is right in the person of another; every man-wits-born • equally free; and ho who -has been deprived -of that freedom which is the natural birthright of every human being, is the only party entitled to compensation , for the loss which hoc has sustained. (Great cheering.) - He knew that- many differed with him on this subject—some of them ,friends of the' negro race. They feared-that unconditional emancipation, which we advocate,, might not to take place-before the expiration of - the apprenticeship term.- But justice -ought ter sepersede every other congideration—fiat jussitice, -ruat ccelum. It wasohjecteil t hat we ought not to make those who have fulfilled-the terms of their contract suffer with those who . have - not. Bit he would remark, that the humane individuals who have-treated-their ap prentices as they ought to be tremed, are not the persons who make objections to immediate emancipation. Wheel-a:l' file benevolent and the •humane have no•fears for the liberation of the-negro. They (the meeting) were engaged-in-the cause of truth and righteousness; and they had the 'example or shine il lustrious men to encourage them.:-Whitfiehl and Wesley, among , others, the two great lights of Methodism. The -rev. gentleman concluded by reading a letter written by the Rev. John Wesley .when.on his deathbed, addressed to Mr. Wilber force, . exhorting him to persevere in advocating the cause of the injured African; and•assurirtg him that suecess and the blessing of Divine Providence would'await his . exertions. • Mr: SCOBLE next.presented himself to the meeting, and was received w.ith applause. A sense of duty-had brought him 250 miles to atteod on the present occasion for he thought it pro— bable- that some persons there would- have. contradicted , the statements he had made at the late' Exeter Hall meeting in London,' and he was there to confirm them.• It was true that abolition had sustained a temporary defeat. Not; however; on account of the badness of their cause, but on account of the formidable interests arrayed against , them. The opinion which the people of England, expressed in their favour was bold and decided:. there was not one man' in the land who would say,' that they were wrong in advocating the cause of the neo , ro.— Various had been the causes assigned for their defeat. Some say that. Lord Brougham was the cause. That nobleman was' not solicited to take the lead in the House of Peers in favour of the present movement to emancipate-the negro; for the friends • of abolition _make no distinction of men •in the great object which they have in view. Others, again, until:toted this tritt porary defeat to the great Irish agitator having. crone forward , to,assiste but he would say of Mr: O'Connell what he had said • of Lord Brougham—they knew no distinction of sect or patty's , they were glad to receive the assistance of any man who would see justice done to the negro.—(Cheers.) Their defeat, how ever, arose from no want of energy on their part ' • and he might , truly assert, that no cause had ever before been honoured with • the exercise of so much virtue; intelligence, end talent. What tilled that theatre, and brought together the great masses of perre isle he saw before him ? Why, a feeling to see justice alene to the: negro.—(Cheers.) The issue of their present meeting would not be without its effect. on the• country and •both houses of parlia ment. It had been said, that while treating this subject, their , mouths must be shut with respect to individuals. • He would not, heiveyer, separate the dice. from the gamblers, 'the Siner from his sin, or the oppressor of humanity from the syste - e tiltsupported; and he much marvelled that an individual ce -• ed for his virtues and talents .(Mr. M`Neile) should , maintain that we have no right to deal with individuals.—(Great cheering and confusion,.in the midst of which Mr. M•Neile came for ward and attempted to he heard.) The ',gavots interposed, and expressed his belief that the cause they were •met to consider was murk too holy to be made the source of tumultuous or personal conflict. , Mr. M4NEILft wished to, set himself right from an uninten tional misrepresentation. , Ile did not say, that they were not to deal with individuals; but to dilate upon the .personal and private motives of individuals , was not the; hest way of serving theta selorirms cause. (Cheers and confusion.) He yielded to no man its England in a desire to carry- forward the views of the meeting; but for the sake of the cause he would not enter into the private feelings of individuals; nor would he attribute hypo-- criey to them in religion, and mercenary motives in their •con ducta (Cheers and confusion renewed.la - ' • Mr, Scoata wished• only to deal with individuals in their public character; but there was a passage of 'Scripture which said,.' by their fraits ye shall know them." (Greet chnerine.), u se - co lony of Demerara has been held up by the government ats home, and by Mr.- Gladstone in the House of Commons, as a perfect pattern of a colony, a here all was pure nannstunned snow. Mr..Gsaistone bad said, that the-law of .114itiateGulana. e oh reference to.the apprenticeship system, was the most complete that had been passed by the colonial legislature, or sanctioned by the crown. But the fact was, that the apprenticeship ordi nance there was mostslefective. •It contained none of the pro visione of the old : slave late, for exempting from hard labour old, sick, es infirm Degroes, sus women in a state of pregnancy. The old la w•entictedsthat. none. of those classes shoutttwork more than thirty piece-hours a week:fur- thefr masters; but the. ordinance of BeitieheGniana compelled: the negroes to work forty-five hours per week., and contained no enactments rese peering the (aridity of the labour.

Theplanters there; before the Ist of August, 1833. met to draw up a tariff of labour, and- this:tariff exacted 74 -hours a da.y from the apprentice, asamich as •t he planter had ever been, able to exact from the slave before-the passing of the Imperial net, with the aid of the cart , whip, He a ssa rted that ,the amount of labour exacted-from the slave was now quite as much, as formerly.:. Mr. Gladstone attributed the erred increase of.produce-inthe colony to the genial seasons since the passing :of the slavery abolition act a hat the truth west, it was caused by 'the. tariff of lebenr, and nothing else. With respect to the :quantity of . food, it,liti teen reduced about one half below the t qaerantion in the slays of slavery, and upwards of 10,000 hail lb e en.th row's. ()Debris parents for a requisite stmply of food. M r.• I Scottie here referred. to the importation of Hill Coolies into: 13ritieli. Guiana from the East Indies. . If they looked through elm- parliamentary, papers, they would find that two-pennyworth. of rice would support a Hill Cooly, and the Guiana planters 'wanted . 'to reduce the negro to the .level of the Ilindostan. '(Shame.) Was it not lamentable to reflect:that men, who had, -,acquired princely revenues through the sweat and toil of their ' victims, should use their wealth i and- power for- the-purpose or .oppressing and grinding, in every possible way the poor negro• who.. had put them in possession old ? Did the people of Eng ••land imagine: when they paid tor. the , freedom of the slave with , 2(1) tons of gold, that such a result would follow.? (No, and cries.' of "shame.") The statements made. in the House of•Com-, 1 mons by Mr., Gladstonehad been applauded trathe echo; but if the honourable ..members of that. house had contented their 'own blue books, the parliamentarvaloeurnents, they Ocould have that.- the punishments in British. Guiana exceeded those in. Ja- ' make_ by neayly. 11 per cent. , Mr. Gladstone, on the occasion in question, stated that he did not indulge in exparte statements. Neither were .the statements which he, Mr. S, made exparte. The speaker here entered into eonte.details- respecting .. the cruelties which he hadseen practised in Britieh.Guissna towards females • of a brutal and liorrifeingnatu re. ,Women in the last 'lege -of pregnancy, and aged females, were compelled to work like:athletic mete.

In one of these isouseshe focal the, males lying on the bare floor, without food or light; aria in innot her the stonier) were incarcerated, the :nest wretched objects which it was peasible to conceive. In another house- he found fifteen decesised inmates,- seven on raised boards, all of whom were locked up, from morning to - night,amany of them having contagious diseases. (Shame.) Their food was five - or,six boiled plantains—no wine, no nourishment. He ought. to tell them that the wine which was imported into the c o lony for the use of the sick, duty free, always found its way to the table of ,the planter: (Shames cheers, and laughter.) Frauds of every kind were practised on the negro. In Ber bite, he found that when the negroes :came to claim their little debts, the.; were generally defrauded out of ono half of the-amount ; for the plattter got their tickets in his hand for the presumed purpose of having them ,examined, and he generally mulcted them of one half, destroying, the ticket before their eyes, and thus taking away their power of redress. If they did justice to themselves as Englishmen, and to their country as a Christian' dand, they would put down the power of the planter, and pre vent him from practising . his frauds on the poor negro-=they would terminate the barbarities he had stated, and release suf fering humanity from the frightful evils he had described. Mr. 'Scottie resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheers from all ,parts of the theatre. ' Mr. M'lslattas with cordiality responded to the •wish of the committee, that he should move the third resolution. " That this Meeting consider the flagrant violations of the imperial net of 1823. which are admitted by the noble lord the Secretary for the Colonies to have occurred both in colonial statutes and in the conduct of many of the planters, as again requiring them to press the termination of a system so liable to perversion, and so fraught with occasions of oppression; while the experience of the colonies in which the full measure of freedom has' been en joyed, and the confidence of those proprietors who have or dered the liberation of their apprentices aa abundantly prove the propriety of the demand, since the negroes are prepared to ap-' preciute and improve a state of perfect liberty." He need not attempt to add to the ,evidence that the imperial art had been flagrantly violated. . .He would" refram twin making any anti sion to th' past. He was in the habit of separating the sinner front his sins, remembering Him wiei has, said. that " as far as the east is from the west, so far fiath he removed our transizres- ,ions flout us.". We. are told that to speak against slavery in ;he abstract is to do nothing. Our opponents say. if it were proved a question of. slavery or no slavery they could express their disapprobation 'of ,the former; but as it is one of compact involving the fidelity of the national. faith, they are bound to abide by the compact. But every bargain has two Sides. Wan has violated the national compact? Who has per petuated the .atrocious violations against. the letter and the spirit of the imperial act? The planters- 7 not the nation. But it is said that all the planters did not thus act. His answer was that there are different degrees of guilt. Silence gives consent. 'A charge of silence rests against every-one who does .not raise his voice in this matter, and still more against those who apologise for it. Those .who were silent were particepes criminis as the, lawyers • say—partakers of the crime. (!tear. bear..) . It, has, been alleged that the male and female negroes.will not here after labour so as to render the estates productive. But why was not this discovered before the payment of the, twenty mil lions? If the planters had sot up this plea originally—if they had said. the compensation was not sufficient ;• but to receive the compensation, .and to requite the labour as beforer7 what Should,they say to that? They had heard of a merchant, not. of ..Liverriol, or of Jamaica,. or of Guiana, hut of Ventre—(c4 laugh)—who was offered compensation; but what did he say ? His reply. was . . " If every ducat in six thousand ducats Were in six parts, and every part a ducat, I 'would not have it-4 would have my bond." • • - • (Loud cheers.) . But, to take the ducats, and then to refuse compensation, was beyond the,c,onception even of Shakspeare. (Protracted cheering.) The planters-ought not only to lose the unexpired years,. but also the remaining unpaid share.olthe. twenty millions.

He was a. good sized man and rather stout, and wore a brown jacket and trowsers.

WOl%l AN. In infancy, from woman's breast, 'We draw the foot!' by nature given; She lulls our childish pangs to rest, And cheers us as a beam 'from Heaven ! When woman smiles, she has the-power To heal our grief, and calm our fears; Should sickness wound, should fortune lour, She shares our sorrows, dries our tears. And she can soothe the cares of age, As rolls - time's furrowing course along; Can cheer us with the classic page, Or charm us withthe ninzie- song. When stretched upon the bed of death, Departing naturcr struggling lies, At that dread pause—when the next breath May Waft our spirit to the skies; When the soul views the narrow verge, Close . on the confines of the grave, And now it longs its flight to urge— Nor wishes for an arm to save; Who cheers that dreary scene of woe? Who speaks of peace, and joy, and love P Who wipes the tear-drops as they flow?— 'Tis woman sent from Heaven above: 'Tis she receives our parting sigh, 'Tis she who hears our latest breath, 'Tis she who seals the 'closing eye, And whispers peace and hope in death! And when the mournful scene is past, 'Tis woman weeps upon our bier; Silent, vet long, her sorrows last, Unseen she sheds affection's tear. On earth she is the truest friend iesnto thism a li n e i e n t mercy ng lire s g h i I n e ; n purer bliss in. heaven.

This Journal, identified as it is with the interests and rights of the Church, will be found peculiarly useful, from its general information, hut, above all,-for the talented and original way in which it performs the important duties it has undertaken.
