From Mr. Brotherton's statement it appeared that, aftr
Tuitions travels, vicissitudes, and hardships, this young man,
whose name was William Hylias, arrived at Java, where ho
was purchseed by a gent'etuan, who had been Dutch consul
at China. That gentleman arrived in England with him in
1832, and having one day taken as iden and unprovoked of-
fence at something which net-tined between them, struck
him to the ground in B:shopsgate-street, in the pn Bence of
penny., who resented the indignity by applying to the
Anti-Slavery Society, through whoa* interposition the
master was prevented from removing him to a country where
more rigour could he exercised with complete impuoity.
The led was at the time about 14 yean of age, and ax•rem• ly
quick, intelligent, and spirited, and having shown an eager
disposition to capacitate himself ter educating others, he was
placed under the tuition of Mr. Ron, of t►e Laneasterisn teh
in Tottenham, where Id, progress was considerable. Funds,
however, dropped downy( ry low, and he was obliged to leave'
the place in which he wee rapidly improving, in order t, pro-
vide for the neeete.ries of life for the day that was passing over
him. Mr. Brotherton, to *bombe had, from his first generous
interposition in his layout, ever looked as a parent, obtaii.ed
for him a berth on board an India ship, and he had since
that period made several voyages in attendance upon genrle-
men of high standing travelling to and from and in the Emit
Indies. He understood seven languages, including the
French and English ; but es he found himself deficient in
the a lements of an English education, he had instructed his
benefactor to introduce him to the Lord Mayor, in order
the, through his Lordship's ihstrumentality, he might be
afforded the means of instruction at some one of the public
schools, his intention being to go abroad, to communicate to
his benighted countrymen the advantages of education.
Alderman Gibbs said he had no doubt that an application
to the public school in the pariel of Bt. Martin, in which Mr.
brotherton resided, would be attended to.
