A BRITISH SIIRIECT SOLD INTO

SLAVERY.

s't e have received the following correspondence from
LoUT Alfred, S. Churchill, M.P. &amnia of the
Executive' immittee of the African-Aid Society, with
a request for its ptitqication :
" African!-Aid Society, 7, Adam-street,
. '• Strand;,London, Oct. 1.
"My dear Archdeacon Mackenzie,—l have muds
pleasure in forwarding a statementof the case of Lorenzo+
Johnson, the black man whom 1' nave recommended to,
you as a cook to the mission to Central" Africa. I hope
to hear good accounts of him, and that he may be of use
to you in the great cause to which you' have devoted
yourself.—Very sincerely yours,
• "J. LYONS 3PLEOD, Hon. See."
" Lorenzo Johnson states that he was born at ring-
. ston, Jamaica, on Christmas-day, 1826. When about.
fourteen years of age he was enticed on board an
American brigantine lying at anchor there. The vessel!
: soon afterwards weighed and proceeded to Baltimore, in
the United States. On her arrival there Johnson was
placed in the Georgia slave-yard, in Pratt-street. Thence
he was conveyed on board the Virginia steamboat,
bound for Charlestown, South .Carolina, and, on his
arrival at that. port,..he was sold in the stave-yard to
Mr. Peck, whom be served ten years as house servant.
At the end of that period he was sold to Mr. Young, of
13 Mobile, who kept him as a cook in his hotel at Mobile;
but business becoming slack at the end of three years,
Mr. Yong hired him out as cook on board the Mobile
steamer, where he served for two years, after which he
was sent on board the Mary Storer, with a cargo of
cotton, to Cronstadt, at which place some English
sailors came alongside at night and took him to the
British chaplain at Cronstadt, when he ' was disguised
and placed on board the Hull steamer. On his arrival
at Hull, the Rev. Mr. Crooney took charge of him, and
sent him to London, to the care of a clergyman (whose
name I have not been able to learn), when he was for-
warded to the office of the British and Foreign Anti-
!
Slavery Society. The secretary of that society (Mr.
Chamerovzow) baying brought the .case under my
notice, and the Rev. Messrs. Henderson, Reid, and
Teall, of Jamaica, confirming, the fact `of of his having
been stolen from Kingston, I have had,no' hesitation m
recommending him to you, more especially as, during
the last two months, I have observed him;endeavourin:g
to support himself by his own industry. The original
of the following certificate was placed in my hands this
morning by Mr. Chamerovzow :
" 'This is to certify that Lorenzo Johnson was really
a slave, and was assisted to escape from the American
ship Mary Storer. The master, having a cargo of deals
from Cronstadt to Bristol, ,feared lest Johnson should
escape, and consequently had made arrangements for
handing him ever to another American shipmaster, who
was going back to the United States.direct. Had he
not escaped before he was to be trariiferred, most pro-
bably an opportunity for obtaining his freedom would
not have again occurred. I commend the poor fugitive
to the sympathy of the benevolent among my country-
men. He states that he bolongs to Jamaica, but having
shipped on board an AmOrican vessel when about
fourteen year old, he was sold clandestinely at Baltimore,
and seut south, where he remained until he came as
cook and steward on board the -above-named Mary
Storer, to Cronstadt, having been hired from his owners
by the master of the vessel.

"J. LYONS M‘Lmon, Hon. See?'
" Southampton, Oct. 4, 1860:
"My dear Sir,—l have to thank you for the account!
you have given me respecting Lorenzo Johnson,- the
black man, who bas been a slave and has been mem-
mended by yon. We have engaged him to act as cook
in our expedition to the Zambesi; he is to receive food,
clothing, and shelter, and £1 a month ;.the man promises;
well, and we hope that he will do as well as he promises.
" Should you chance to hear of any negroes who.
understand the cultivation of cotton, and who are in
quest of free employment, I should like you to lay their
case before the officers of the Central African Mission.
—I am, yours truly, " C. T. MACKENZIE.

if a cure be possible, Holloway's medicaments will effect it.

ful influence exerted by these twin medicines, which cleanse,

completely renovate the digestion. They render every organ
of secretion healthy. These admirable antidotes to disease act
immediately on the absorbent system, lungs, heart, and circu-

.._., I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill,Liverpoolq will prove of more mine, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes;"
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
smald and rifreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action. of the lungs." Recommended above
all otbei medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's
Materia Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
arid efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson. that, in conjunc-
tion with cod liver oil, It is an admirable remedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr.,
