In thot distressing state of de bility and deficiency, 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, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, add when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benett upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint.

At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Ilygeian Herb- VMS, for when taken before the disease hattnade its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and - secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when Visiting the proprietof, fiern the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necess.ary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously_ administered.

SQUANCE, supported by JOHN SCOBLE, 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 t bat the further discussion of their claims fur the speedy and uncondi tional abolition of their Apprenticeship is, therefore, rendered absolutely necessary. On the motion of the Rev. 11. M'NEILE, seconded by THOS. BLACKBURN, Esq., It Was unanimously ligsolved, Thirdly.—That this Meeting consider the flagrant violations of the Imperial Act of 1833, which ale admitted by the noble lord, the Secretaty for the colonies, to hsve 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 oppres sion; while the experience of the colonies in which the full measure of freedom has been enjoyed, and the coufidence of those proprietors who have ordert-d the liberation of their ap prentites, abundantly prove the propriety of the demand, since the negroes are prepared to appreciate and improve a state of perfect liberty. 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 to learn, that the Eardley Wilmot has been so far restored to health as to place upon the Books of the House notice of a Motion, ih which h 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 soleinn purpose to rest satisfied with no enactment which fails to confer, forthwith, entire freedom on every negro subject of the British empire. A Petition to the effect of the foregoing Resolutions, having been read by the Town-clerk, It was unanimously resolved, nn the Motion of the Rev. JOHN KELLY, seconded by the Rev. Dr. RAFFLES, Fiflilly.—That. the Petition now read be signed on behalf of this Meeting by the worshipful the Mayor; and that Sir Eard ley Wilmot be respectfully requested to present the same to the House of Commons. - WILLIAM RATHBONE, Mayor.

JOHN ANDERSON, Secretary, Liverpool. WRECK OF THE SHIP "ATHABASCA." The following Report of the Marine Surveyor on the above melancholy occurrence, was this day read in the Dock Commit tee, and directed to be inserted in the Liverpool papers. By order, DANIEL MASON, Secretary. Dock Office, April 19, 1838. MARINE SURVEYott's OPFIcE, April 18, 1838. had the satisfaction of including in my last Monthly Report the alertness of our Life Boats on the 224 and 23d ult. I have now to report that our Western Life Boat, " Point of Air," has signalized herself in rescuing the Crew of the Sloop Elizabeth, on the 16th instant; and in most persevering exer tions to save the Crew of the ship Athabasca of Whitby, Stephen Nesfield, master, one mate and twelve seamen, which was ob served on shore at the back of West Hoyle yesterday morning, the twat succeeded in reaching the inner margin of the bank when half a 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 crew 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 ou a spar • through the breakers, or force the Life-boat through the surf as soon as the tide had risen sufficiently; but when this occurred, the long extending breakers threatened instant destruction, and obliged them to bear 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 breaches. During the unavailing exertion of the Point of Air beat, the Hoylake Life-boat had failed in reaching the same position, where, however, she would have been equally cut off from com munication. Whilst these combined efforts were but 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 front 3 to 400 tons, or that she could exist under a towing process across a furious sea for 15 miles; all was lost sight of for a moment, and Captain Chappell, R.N., acquiesced 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 be 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 compensation, 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 if an impression existed, that more could or ought to have been done, or by systematic arrangements of the establishments at either the Magazines, Hoylake, or Point of Air, enough had not been provided for. Without, however, anticipating this fatal case as being on the defence, I consider thus much and the following due to the Dock Committee, and a community whose humane sensitiveness is proverbial; therefore it may, in propor tiou 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 time could have been done; for to have towed any boat to the wea ther-side of the bank (supposing it possible for any boat to have lived under the operation,) would have been positively sending a boat into in.slabi destruction ; in fact, the case was one of utter helplessness, and defying all or any succour. The obser vations of a west active officer and seaman, Mr. Sherwood, of Hoylake, are thus :—" The ship (being dismastedy was not seen till eight a.m., four hours' ebb: the Hoylake boat was on her ' way full manned in seventeen minutes; tbev reached that part of the Welsh channel (never daring to go di.wn Helbre Swash to the weather side of the Hoyle) abreast of Point of Air, at l t a.rn,; they rowed on till abreast of Pipeclay Gutter (hoping to do at least what Point of Air boats had done) 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 last three years this is the only case of our boats not succeeding in that which they have set out about. And this case will appear to any gentleman, as to me, an impos sible one, it 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 hand, you will perceive, S►r, by a counterpart of' the Life boat return, laid before the Committee at the close of last year, that our boats in 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, H. M. DEN HAM, Capt. R.N. Marine Surveyor. To the Chairman of the Dock Committee. P.S.—S;nce the foregoing, Sir, I am informed that the effici ency of the Life-boats as to the rapacity and fitments, and sort of crew has been impugned ; 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 reached, and where no other Boat would have lingered, longer, or have outreached; and so far from tilling, retarding, or dismaying the efforts, she returned again, though the tide of flood hail done its devastating work. With reference to the crew, the thirteen at Hoylake are hardy boatmen, so the eight at Magazines. The eleven at Formby are boatmen and fisher men by nature, 1 may say—all the be;t 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 amphibious 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 sl oo p (Swan, of Glasgow) at anchor, two miles of Ithyl, saved themselves — seven in number—in their own Boat, from the atvantage 9t ha ving to run to leeward, whilst the Life-boat was endeavouring to go in the teeth of the wind and long surf. 1 have to advance every reason of exoneration that a seaman can require, if enough is not herein combined.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1838. The Publication of the STANDARD 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 on 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 alartn ing 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 expressions uttered at these anti-slavery meetings will be carefully retailed to the negroes themselvesby 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 retaliatory na ture, and thus the very consequences 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 real sufferings of the apprentices is owing to the injudicious and ignorant zeal manifested by those who assume the popular character of "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 ? What, again, is more likely to tempt the master to re sort to measures of cruelty titan to have unjustly int puted to him atrocities of which he feels himself to be P t, 4 4, IS3 perfectly innocent, and to find that the confidence of those . whom he has treated with kindness and indulgence has been alienated from him by the slanderous misrepresen tations of itinerating demagogues ? _ . In perusing the various speeches delivered 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 his chains were still as closely drawn around him as ever—that he was still (loomed 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 be as absurd to call this state of transition a state of slavery as it would be for any one to designate the stipulated ser vitude 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- Lice 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. We are,. therefore, bound to say that it is improper to call sub 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 series of public meetings , for the purpose of compelling every master in England to give up the indentures of his 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 latter a " righteous cause" as to apply such a designation to the anti-negro-apprenticeship sys tem. It is absolute nonsense to say that we have a right to demand the immediate release of the negro from the control of the master because the latter 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 parties, 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 assumption of all the rights of citizenship. We are fortified in this opinion by the recollection of the sad results which attended the aincon , 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 period 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, 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 there was in a fit state to be able to appre ciate 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 proceeds, " 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 British negro, and the property of the planter and the English merchant; 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 ham other states." It may, perhaps, be urged that such direful conse quences have not uniformly characterized 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 of his 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 of 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 be says that he went out to• Demerara "to form 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 pre conceived opinions. But while we are treating of gr- 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, 00 his arrival here, he was attacked by the Press, and designated as "the Alderinanbury 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 ? Di& he• not come here as the paid envoy of a faction, whose avowed ° l). ' 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 winds of the negroes ? Did he 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 disorder? Did he not, we repeat, do all this—and then we ask, are not the terms, unsavoury as they may he. of "hired spy. and enemy to the colony," well deserved and fairly earned . 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 bins in Aldermanbury 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 otly THEATIiE-110VAI„ LIVERPOOL.
