TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES

Six,--I spoke the ship Isaac Wright, Capt. Abell, at 5 A.M.
29th ult, who requested me to report his ship with rudder
gone and leaking badly he, also wanted a steam-boat im
mediately. There was no consultation held as regarded the
best means to be adopted, nor did I pretend to know where
the ship struck, but only knew the position in which she then
was, namely, longtitude 8 0, latitude 50 50.

Captain of the ship Oncanasta.

THE EMIGRANT SHIP "ISAAC WRIGHT"—CHOLERA
AMONGST THE PASSENGERS.—The "Isaac Wright," emigrant
ship, for whose safety some fears were entertained, arrived
in the Mersey at an early hour yesterday morning. We
regret to say that Asiatic Cholera broke out amongst the
passengers before the arrival of the vessel in the river, and,
although the number of deaths on board cannot be accurately
ascertamed, it is stated by the passengers as varying from
thirty to fifty. The whole of the surviving passengers were
landed last evening and conveyed to the workhouse. In
addition to those who died outside, upwards of thirty of the
emigrants are at present suffering from cholera in the -Work-
house, and it is feared a great number of these cases will
terminate fatally. If the statements of some of the emi-
grants, at present in the Workhouse Hospital, be true, an
immediate investigation is imperatively demanded, not alone
on the part of the local authorities, but also On the part
of the government of the country.

AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—A mail will be despatched
from this port to day, by the Neleus. Another favourable op-
portunity of communicating with Australian colonies, offers
by the Harbinger steamer, which sails from Southampton
on Thursday.

GRISI AND MARIO AT THE PHILHARMONIC HALL.
—The concert announced for last night was numerously at-
tended, the singing of Grisi and Mario was as. usual, beyond
praise, and these two great stars were well supported by the
performers of lesser rank.
MAIL STEAMERS.—The United States Mail steam-
ship Atlantic, sails to-day for New York. The Neleus,
steam-ship, also sails to-day from this port for Australia,
carrying her Majesty's mails.
THE LANCASHIRE ARTILLERY CORPS.—The newly
enrolled regiment of royal artillery volunteers assembled
yesterday for a month's training, at the depot at Everton.
Beyond the men receiving their outfit nothing was done.
The regiment will assemble for training this morning.

REVISION OP THE MUNICIPAL BURGESS LlST.—Yesterday
was fixed by his worship the Mayor for the holding of
a Court to revise the municipal bUrgess roll ; but, in conse-
quence of the Court for the parliamentary revision being
still sitting, the former was adjourned, to ten o'cloCk on
Friday next.

MORTALITY AMONGST THE EMIGRANTS OF THE
SILAS 6REENMAN.--:Since Sunday, the number of deaths,
amongst the passengers belonging to this vessel, who were
removed to the Workhouse, have been twelve. Most of
them are Germans; and though in many cases ASiatic
cholera decidedly evinced itself, still it would be difficult to
attribute their death solely to that scourge, as they were all
seriausly,debilitated by continuous diarrhce.

A CASE OF CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—We are con-
cerned to say, that a case of fatal Asiatic cholera occurred
yesterday in Liverpool. The deceased, Patrick Palmer, lived
in 11 Court, Milton-street. He was removed to the Work-
house at one o'clock in the morning, and he died at the same
hour, in the afternoon. He was quite well the evening
previous, and, as we are given to understand, his friends say,
that he complained of no symptom that could denote the
approach of cholera.
LIVERPOOL AND THE LISBON BOARD OF HEALTH.—
According to a statement in another part of our paper, it
will be seen that Lisbon letters have been received to the
29th ult.' from which, we learn that the. Lisbon Board of
Health had decreed Liverpool to be a suspected port, in
consequence of advices sent out by the Portuguese consul,
on the 19th ult., by the Gannet, steamer, and it was ex-
pected that all subsequent vessels from Liverpool would be
subject to quarantine in Portuguese ports.
ILLEGALITY OF THE WOOLTON HIGHWAY'RATES.
—The usual Petty 'Sessions for the Prescott Division was
held *yesterday, • before T. Rodiek, and Thomas E. Moss,
Esqrs., when five parties appeared to show cause why they
did not pay the highway rates during the last five
years for the township of Much Woolton. Mr. Sewell,
the collector, said that one of the parties was summoned for
£1 Bs. 4d. rates, due up to March, in the present year.
Mr. Rodick :—Why, here are five years' rates summoned
for; how is this, have you never been asked for them be-
fore ? Defendant : sir. I never had a rate paper left
before. Mr. Rodrick (to the collector) I don't see why
you should go back so far as five years'. Here are a uum-
berof 'persons summoned here for the first time, and asked
to pay these rates. I think it most unjust, if it is the law.
In the course of an explanation which was given, it trans-
pired that the rates for 1852 and 1853 were illegal, in con-
sequence of. their having been- laid. by a single magistrate,
instead of two or more,- es required by the statute. On
this explanation being tendered, Mr. Rodick-said that the
rates for 1852 and 1853 must be expunged, and they would
have nothing to do with the back rates, The cases, there-
fore, must be all dismissed,

ANTI-SLAVERY LECTURE LAST NIGHT.

LAST Night a lectitre was delivered, according to announce-
ment, by J..lll‘liinui Esq., upon the present position, and
the prospects of the slavery abolition movement in America.
The lecture was delivered in the room of the Bible Society,
Slater=street, at seven o'clock, and the audience was very
numerous;

• The chair was taken by the 1161 ViiSaveis BISHOP, who,
after some brief remarks upon the cause of slaVery abolition,
and the difficutlies which surrounded its advocacy in Amer-
ica, introduced the lecturer as one of that noble band of
men and women in America, who had devoted themselves
to the promotion of that cause, who had put. their hand to
the plough, and by the blessing_ of God had strewn, amid
contumely of no ordinary kind) and persecution, and
• social and petty exclusion, a fidelity to that cause which
every true-hearted Man niust admire. He therefore felt
great pleasurein requesting Mr) M‘liirr whem he had had
the opportunity) and the g.reat privilege of becoming per.
sonally Acquainted with in Philadelphia, to give some
• account of the labours of the abolitionists, the principles by
which they were actuated, and the modes by which they
proposed to carry out the great objects which they had in
• view, the final and total overthrow of that gigantic abomi-
nation, human.slavery. (Applause.)
Mr. M'liinn then proceeded to address the nieeting.
After sonic introductory remarks, the lecturer observed that
his.views upon that question, and the expressions which he
would eniploy, did not arise from any preferences to Monar-
chical or democratic institutionS) for he heartily preferred
the form of government which prevailed in his own country,
and there was something grossly revolting •to him in the
inequalities of wealth and fictitious distinctions of rank,
which he perceived in England. He was ready to adMit that
it was quite possible an Englishman might make a tour
through the entire, of America, and never see stripes
inflicted upon the slave, or any of the revolting barbarities
resulting from the slave system. He might not have seen as
much physical destitution as he had met with in tours through
that country and the continent. He might have found the
Americans of the south, as Well as those of the north, as
hospitable, as honest, and as upright in their dealings as
those whom they had left behind upon their own shores.
He might also have heard almost universal testimony ex-
pressed against the abolitionists, as an unreasonable, un-
.reasoning set, fanatical, injudicious, and with a disposition
to disorganize. But were all these facts', however, fully
admitted, a plea for the existence of slavery in America ?
Let them take the nature of slavery as defined in the laws of
the slave-owners themselves. Tile code of South Carolina
said—" A slave shall be deemed, taken, and adjudged by
law, to be a chattel personal in the hands of his owner, his
heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, to all intents,
constructions, and purposes whatsoever." The Louisiana
code was in somewhat different language,—" The slave is
one" said the revised code. of Louisiana, "who is in the
power of the master to whom he belongs,—the master may
sell him, dispose of his person, or his industry ; all that he
is, and all that he has; and all that he can acquire, is the
property of his master." On these definitions he contended
that there could be no worse injury heaped upon a man,
even by taking away his life, than by thus converting him
into a mere chattel, and treating him, "to all intents, con-
structions, and purposes whatsoever," as a mere article of
marketable property. (Loud applause,) It might be said,
that the law was more severe than the actual system, and
that things abstractedly appeared much worse than they
were in the concrete. But he contended, that if any lesson
was taught in the history of the world, it was, that no
human being, even the most pre-eminently good, could be
safely trusted with unlimited power over another. (Ap-
plause.) The lecturer illustrated this observation by several
examples drawn from history, and from his own experience,
and dwelt upon the manner in which English people, going
to America, by suppressing their feelings at first, became
gradually accustomed to witness the system there, and
filially, either became supporters of slavery, or at
least reconciled to it. Upon the other hand, the pas-
sage across here seemed to have a contrary effect upon
Americans, and many who were never heard to lift their
voices against the slave system in America, became strong
opponents to it when they had been some time in England.
By English travellers in America, an argument was grounded
upon the fact, that the slave was generally well treated.
He had not himself seen many of the cases of cruelty which
were related upon good authority—he knew nothing from
personal. observation of the treatment of the slave in the
cotton plantations, in the rice swamp, or the sugar-mills of
the south. There, it • was stated that slavery of the worst
description existed,' and if the system had any evil attendant
upon it, its supporters admitted that it was to be found there.
His residence was Philadelphia, and there he had many op-
portunities of seem"- fugitive slaves, and they were such as
were generally consideted well-treated slaves, slaves who had
more than the ordinary amount of liberty, whO were allowed
a holiday sometimes, who had more than the ordinary amount
of if telligence, and were even allowed to acquire a little
money for themselves. Yet these men braved the most ex-
traordinary dangers, they fled from the south, guided only at
night, by the north star, they. waded rivers, and made their
way through swamps, hiding in the day, and pursuing their
course at night, daring incredible perils, in order to enjoin
..the boon of liberty. (Loud. applause). The lecturer narrated
several instances of this character, and proceeded to say that
there were what were called well-treated slaves ; but there
was, in reality, no such thing as a well-treated slave. (Loud
applause). It was not possible to make a man a chattel
and treat him well. He might be treated well as a horse or
a dog was treated well. Food and protection from the cold
were all that was required as good treatment for the horse
or the dog, but was that -good treatment for a man with an
immortal soul, with the affections, aspirations, and attributes
of a being created to the image oiGod. It was a blasphemy
to talk about treating a man well and keeping him a slave.
(Long and general applause). It was the same, whether it was
done by the brutal Legrees of the south, or the amiable and
accomplished Christian minister, for he regretted to say,
that they had persons who enjoyed that reputation, and a
fair proportion of them, who held slaves just as others did.
He had seen something of the slave trade, but only in its
mildest form ; yet some occurrences which he had witnessed,
were a sufficient reply to the arguments which had been
brought forward by those who opposed the abolition move-
ment. He had seen a slave leaving the city of Washington
put his head out of the car, and heard him call out with a
sort of melancholy satisfaction to the field-workers who were
leaning on their hoes,—" Farewell, I have my whole family
with me." But he did not know that when an advertise-
ment appeared for 500 likely young negroes, they wanted the
likely young negroes for the plantation, the women to serve as
cooks in the city, and the children to be sent to some other
district. The lecturer then proceeded to repel .the charge
which had been made against the leaders of the abolition
party in America, that they were infidels and irreligious men
opposed to the church and to the clergy, and not only that,
but also opposed to the marriage tie. He defended
William Lloyd Garrison who was generally looked upon as
the leader of the abolitionist party in America, from the
charges which had been made against him in a religious
journal, published at that side of the water, that he was op-
posed to the marriage tie. All he would ask was, that peo-
ple would become acquainted with those men whom they
maligned, some of them unintentionally : others, all the
charity he could summon, would not allow him to say unin—
tentionally. He believed there were those, who wilfully ut-
tered these gross calumnies—for gross calunmies they were.
(Applause.) He would wish that many people who spoke
in such a manner, were acquainted with' Garrison, and Phillips,
and Quincey— with the conductors of the Anti-slavery
i Stan-
dard, and the Executive Committee of the Society n New
York and Philadelphia, and learned what . was the
governing principle of their minds and hearts, and
he was sure.many of ,them would no more repeat or give -
ear to these charges of infidelity. (Renewed applause.) On
the contrary, he contended that the leading advocate o
abolition were always remarkable for the purity of their
motives, and the rectitude 'of their characters. It was true
indeed, that 'many of them had been compelled to express
opinions strongly at variance with those held by many of the
ministers of religion in America. The American clergy,
many of them, held slaves, and sanctioned slavery by example
as well as by precept ; and were, in fact, the great bulwarks
of the slave system in that country. The leaders of the
anti-slavery .movement were therefore compelled, as the
friends of true religion, to denounce those ministers of the
church who upheld that system. If, to denounce such men
deserved the name of infidelity, then indeed, the leaders of
the anti-slavery•movement were infidels. The leeturer read
several passages from the sermons of clergymen of different
persuasions in America, declaring that the system of slavery,
was one sanctioned by religion. He also, read portions of a
sermon, preached by an American bishop, to a negro con-
gregation, enjoining them to obey the commands of their
masters, as they would the commands of God, for their masters
were placed over them by God. The preacher quoted the
text, " do unto others as you•would, that they should do unto
you." The lecturer proceeded to say, that one might
naturally imagine that text should operate as an argument'
against the system of slavery, but the preacher had perverted
it to his own end, by telling his hearers that it enjoined
them to do unto others as,they would have others do to them
were they placed in similar circumstances ; and that therefore,
they should work for their masters as diligently, and obey
them as implicitly as they would wish their masters should
work for them, were their positiOns changed. That was
precisely the same. ais to contend, that if a robber put a pistol
to-the breast of any man there, and demanded his money,
the, man attacked should make no resistance, but quietly
hand out his purse; because.he would wish, were he in the
Place of the robber, that just the same should be done to
himself. (Laughter and applause.) They surely would not
think it strange, that. William Lloyd Garrison and his friends
should dendunee, not only these ministers of religion in the '
south, who upheld, by precept and example, the system of
slavery, but also those in the north; who associated with
them, apologized for them, and defended them. The church
in America was full. of men, some of them. amongst her
most distinguished ministers; who 'not only justified the acts
and the system of the slave-oWners, but even went so far as
to justify the infamous fugitive slave-law. There were
ministers, of all denominations, who had come forward in

defence Of that law which had hoirified t
even, , to _,some extent, the half-civilized.

nouneed the charges which had been made agt
and those associated with him, as gross

calumnies

He admitted that there were r

anti-slavery association whose views upon certain points
of religion might not concur with those of all in that

assemblage, and which, perhaps, might not be correct, but
they had made the basis of the association, the principle of
leaving it perfectly open to persons of every denomination
of religious belief, and even td those of no -denomination at
all. The Lecturer recounted the different societies which
had been successively established for the abolition of slavery
upon the principle of exclusiveness, and showed how they
had all in their turn failed, until the establishment of the
present society, which left its platfotni open to all who were
willing to work in the cause, no matter what their religious
belief. He then announced that the Anti-Slavery Bazaar
was to be held in Boston) in about six weeks, so that there
was time afforded for all in that town who wished to give
it their assistance. Another Bazaar was to be held in
Philadelphia, in about the same space of time, and he called
upon those present to give their assistance to that city also.
This was one of the means by which the people here could
assist the movement in America. They had still many
obstacles to contend with. Formerly. in Philadelphia the
advocates of abolition were assailed with mob violence, and
their arguments were replied to with brickbats and unmer-
chantable eggs. (Laughter) At present, they had not,
indeed, those difficulties to encounter; but they had to en..
counter the passive opposition of people who said—" We
'object to slavery as much as you do, we hate the system as
strongly as you, brit we think you are too fanatical and
unreasonable, arid that your efforts are only throwing the
cause back. We see no way open at present in which we
could do anything, and We can only deplore the injury
which has been done by your mistaken efforts,"Perhaps,
this obstacle Was one which was even more enervating and
depressing to meet with than the bfiekzhatsi the rotten
eggs; and the mob violened, heat:4 There.was not
as yet a will in America to abolish slaverys When the
efforts of the abolition society created that will; which he
trusted and believed they would do, there would be found a
way. (Loud applause.) By appealing to their consciences,
to- their fceliiigs, by touching every string in the human
bosom which could vibrate to the touch, they hoped to pro-
duce that revolution in the feeling of the masses; which was
called a change in public sentiment; which he felt certain
would be the precursor of universal emancipation: For that
consummation. they Were laboiiring—iii thaenterprise they
were enlisted. Upon their behalf lie Was in England; and he
was in that room ; a part of his errand, to invite the co.:
operation of those who felt interested in the movement.
The lecturer then thanked the audience for the indulgence
with which they had listened to him, and resumed his seat
amidst general acclamation.

Mr, WOODHEAD briefly proposed a resolution embodying
the thanks of the meeting to Mr. M'Kirr, for the instruc-
tion he had afforded, and expressing their cordial sympathy
with the efforts of the American Abolition fiwiety.
Mr, RAWLINS seconded the motion.

The CHAIRMAN in putting it to the meeting, in a few
sentences, stated that he was not one of the English travel-
lers who becanie reconciled to the slave system by residence
in America, for after visiting the Southern States his hatred
to it had been infinitely augmented, and referred to scenes
which he had witnessed at slave auctions, and amongst others
in Richmond, from which Mrs. Julia Tyler had dated her
reply to the address of the women of England, which in that
assembly he could not attempt to describe.
The resolution was passed amid unanimous applause,
and Mr. M‘Kirr having returned thanks, the proceedings
concluded.

LAUNCH OF. A NEW SHIP AT
TVARRINGTON.

Yesterday, a splendid new ship, named the " Tayleur,"
was launched from the building yard of the Bank Quay
Foundry, Warrington, in the presence of an immense con-
course of spectators, who had assembled from the surround-
ing country to witness the launch of one of the largest Bri-
tish Merchant-men afloat. The " Tayleur" is an iron ship,
built for Messrs. Moore and Co., of this town, and intended
to form one of Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's White Star
Line of Australian packets.
The " Tayleur" measures 2,500 tons new measurement,
is estimated to carry 4,000 tons on a draft of 21 feet, and is
the largest iron-sailing vessel afloat. Her dimensions are

She is perceptibly hollow in her entrance and clean in her
tail, her bow, as well as her stern lines,commencing near to
amidships, whilst her large extent of oor will ensure her
carrying canvas and making rapid way through her destined
element ; in fact she has in her build and model all the qua-
lities of a clipper, combined with those of a safe and com-
fortable vessel. She has been constructed for a three decker,
with a spar deck of magnificent proportions, which, with
the exception of the small space occupied by the galleys,
will be entirely unobstructed, She will, however, in accord-
ance with the views of the Emigration Board, only carry
passengers on one, the main-deck, which will accommodate
680 persons, with unusually ample space for each.
The "Tayleur” is a particularly strong ship. Her frames
are all of angle iron, five inches by three, and five ei,ghts
of an inch thick, with reverse frames of the same iron three
inches by three, they are fifteen inches apart amidships, and
eighteen fore and aft, The girders which support her floor-
ings are on every frame, and are more like those of a bridge
in strength, than any which we have hitherto seen put into
a 'ship, being provided with L' flanges on the top to receive
the ceiling. She has a tubular .kelsom two feet six by two
feet and a half inch plates, and two sister kelsome of boiler-
plate iron, the same thickness. Her bilge is of strong angle
iron ; and her deck beams are nine inches deep, with bracket
ends two feet in length. The plating, commencing at the
keel, is one inch thick, diminishing to five-eights, inch and
half-inch, the two top strakes being three-fourths of an
inch ; is double rivetted throughout, and well over lapped.
The upper deck is diagonally braced ; and in fact no expense
or skill has been spared to render her perfect as an iron ship
of the very strongest construction, Her lower mainmast is of
iron ' • and the quantity of canvass she is capable of carrying
may be judged of from the fact of her fore and main yards
being eighty-four feet long. The ventilation for passengers
will be of the most perfect description. She will have seven
hatchways with skylights and ventilation over them, besides
sidelights to open into every room. Permanent staircases
will communicate from the upper deck to the passenger deck;
and in every respect she will be provided with the same con-
veniences and comforts to be found on boar) our first-class
passenger steamers. Her galleys, which are spacious, are
on the fore part of the spar deck. As a sea boat we can
have. little hesitation in predicting that she will not be sur-
passed by any thing now afloat, her great length, her sharp-
ness both fore and aft, with her ample floor amidships,
ensuring her fast sailing qualities, whilst her ample height
between decks—seven feet six—and the large space allowed
for berthing, &c., adapt her peculiary for the conveyance of
passengers.
Such is the graphiz desbription of the noble vessel which
was yesterday introduced to the elements, - which for the
future is to be her abiding place. A more magnificent
specimen of naval architecture could not be seen in Europe.
Her fine lines, ample bilge, and graceful proportions were
yesterday the theme of universal admiration—an admiration
not a little enhanced by the peculiar circumstances under
whichthe vessel was built, in what hashitherto been considered
almost an inland town: The launch of such a leviathan ship
necessarily created a great deal of interest in Warrington,
and the neighbourhood, and from an early hour in the
morning people were flocking into town from the surround-
ing districts. By twelve o'clock every spot from which a
view of the launch could be had was occupied, and notwith-
- standing the unpropitious state of the weather, a very. large
assemblage of the gentry of Warrington, and its vicinity,
were assembled in the yard of the Bank Quay Foundry,
which is most favourably situated for the purposes of a
building-yard. It is situated on a bend of the Mersey, a
little below the town of Warrington, and the liver runs in a
direct line from it for several hundred yards, thus presenting
an ample launching space for vessels, even of the largest
burthen. Shortly after twelve o'clock, the preparations for
the launch were being actively carried forward, and they
were continued without intermission, up to about twenty
minutes past one o'clock. At that time everything was
ready, and the signal being given, the daggers were knocked
away. In a few seconds, the huge vessel slightly moved,
when Miss Patten, daughter of Mr. Wilson Patten, M.P.,
performed the'ceremony of christening, by breaking a bottle
of wine on her bows. A momentary delay, and then .the
Tayleur glided majestically into her native element, amidst
the enthusiastic cheering of the assembled multitude. Three
steam-tugs from Liverpool were in attendance, and immedi-
ately after the launch, they took the. Tayleur in tow, and
conveyed her down the river to within a short distance of
Runcorn gap, where she will remain until this day's tide,
when she will be brought to Liverpool, and fitted up with
all possible despatch. The Tayleur when launched, had 50
tons of coal on board, and drew only 81 feet.
This magnificent clipper-ship was designed by William
Rennie, Esq., and intended solely for the Australian passen-
ger trade. The primary objects the owners had in view in
her construction were—a high rite of speed, great passen-
ger space, and perfect ventilation; all these important points
have been secured to the fullest practicable extent. The
" Tayleur" takes passengers on the upper deck only ; this
deck was originally intended for the accommodation of first-
class saloon passenger alone. The "Tayleur" has side-lights
and ports at every seven feet, thus giving one to each room;
in addition to which, skylights range from the after part to
the forward of the ship, with enclosed staircases. Permanent

water-closets are fitted below as wel
and wash-houses provided for thi
The great superiority, however, of
facility she affords to passengers foi
her decks being quite dear, fore al

tendence of Mr. Heatheotyttie manager of the Bank Quay
Foundry, 0 whose ki-A.kiess and courtesy we are indebted for
many of the particulars above given. We regret to statd
that Cantaiirgoble, who is to command the Tayleur, fell
into I.le-hold on Monday, and wa.s,.severely bruised. He
as unable to be. present at the launch. As this splendid
vessel was being towed down the river she presented a very
singular appearance. Her huge hull towered above the
surrounding country ; and owing to the narrowness of the
river, and its many turns, she seemed as if propelled over
dry laud by some winou and mysterious power.
