' THE AMERICAN WAR AND SLAVIEY.

• A public meeting was held host evening, at the
Merely Institution, St. Leonard's-street, Pimlico, on the
'above subject. Mr. BEADDON in the chair. There was a
Lim Otead uce.
Tlmearatagror said the meeting. bad been convened for
Abe plume of eliciting an expression of public opinion in
favour of the North in the struggle now going on in Ame-
lia. Ile thought the phew in which the war now stood,
being one which must result in the emancipation of the
slave, was one which could not but command the sympathy
of all true Englishmen, who must ever be the uncompro-
mising opponents of slavery. (Chews.)
MI. W. T. MLLLESON moved the first resolution—
"That this meeting, having regard to the avowed
object of . the . Southern States in their rebellion
against • the Federal government, hereby declares
its good wishes • for the triumph of the North,
on the basis cf the emancipation policy inaugurated by Pr/i-
-ndent Lincoln." 'The speaker at some length refuted the
late attack of the Times upon the Emancipation Society,
who he said comprised in its ranks some of the moat emi-
nent lay and clerical philanthropists of the day. He stood
there as the uncompromising opponent of slavery. and
therefore could have no sympathy with the South,
whose onl ob*t in hoisting the secession flag and com-
mencing hostilities 'gaited the North was the perpe.
tuition and'extensioo of the brutalising slave institutions.
He believed the emancipation proclamation of President
Lincoln, imperfect though it might be, bad rung
the death knell of shiny throughout the whole of the
American States, and wfielher the North or the South
triumphed, negro slavery as an iostitutioa was doomed.
The Rev. H. flour seconded the mutation. He ad-
duced the Missouri- Colipsomies, the Fugitive Slave Law,
the Kansas and NelopetaAtill, and the Died Scott decision,
acts forced upon the forth by Southern influence, as
good reasons why the North should have aroused itself to
stem the encrosehments of the South to engraft their slave
system throughout the whole of the United States.
It was only when the South felt a check put upon its in-
fluence by the election of Mr. Lincoln as peesidsot that they
began to talk about secession. They saw their favourite
institution doomed, and took up arms ageing the North in
its defence. (Hear, hear.)
The replunon wee supported by Mr. WAbHIXOTON
WILKS and other speakers, had carried with but two dia.

Other resolitian in aocoiditice with the objects of the
meeting were adopted,'and a vote of thanks to the chair.
man concluded the proceedings of a very enthusiastic
meeting. •

tional Sunday Lamm's, wrar held at the Crown Tavern,
Clerkenwell•green, 'to take into consideration the unarm-
rentable interference on die part of the bishops with the

leisure day, and the propriety of memorialising the rail-
way compemice to cautions the ammo as heretafoce. '
Mr. Mao&nald occupied the chair. The chairman

the archbishops and bishops to the railw directors is an
suswarrantrible interference with the railway compatiles
right to run excursion trams on Sundays, and with the
liberty of the people to travel by such trains, is wholl
uncalled for, and their proposal is impracticable, and will
seretend, 44 supposed. to a better and more religious ob-
ance of the Suoday.". Mr. Et eftonded, and Mr.
Maxwell supported, the motion, which was carried UMW-
moody. After addresses from several other ripsaw*, a
