which human ingenuity ran devise, the experiment of a safe and
peaceable emancipation may fail ; and failing, it will show that no
atonement whatever can be made for the crime which the whole
nation has committed, of rendering slavery a part and pseud of the
law of the land.
I believe I stated, at the very first meeting which I attended, my
conv;ction that the society was beginning at the wrong end. I
stated that the first effirt should be to put down the slave trade,
now carried on by France, Spain, and Portugal ; lieesuse it was a
waste of time to set about emancipating 800,000 slaves, in compa-
ratively comfortable circumstances, while 70.00 or NAN w?..ro
earned every year from the coast of Africa to the Foreign Colonies.
I think that the total destruction of that trade might easily be se.
complished by the concurrence of any two great maritime powers,
such as England and America; and if the voice of the nation had
demanded such an interference on the part of our own Government,
that interference could not have failed of success. I think, too, It
may he proved, that even the quiet emancipation of our own slaves
would Inevitably tend to increase the number carried into captivity
to Foreign Colonies ; and, if I am right, what becomes of your
philanthropy ? I ground this opinion, on the belief that the slaves
are well fed and full worked ; and that en emancipated slave would
perform very little work ; consequently we, or Europe, or both,
would have to draw increased supplies of sugar and coffee from the
Slave Colonies of other nations.
It is one of the laws of nature that the fertility of the soil, and
the nature of the climate, determine the quantity of labour 'sues.
sary to preserve existence. In the tropics, where the fruits of the
earth spring almost spontaneously, man ii scarcely called upon for
labour; and hence, to the inhabitant of colder regions, his life
seems to pass in sloth and idleness. The reverse of this holds in
the colder lautudesewhere a man is compelled to industry and in.
cessant toil. It is notorious that the native Indians, to whom the
slaves hay • succeeded, led a life of indolence, and that the eman.
ciliated slaves of St. Domingo produce comparativelz nothing;
that Island, which grew sr much sugar as all the other islands put
together, at the time of the revolt, now produces little more than
it consumes ; and the export of coffee has declined more than one.
half. Will any man believe that 800,000 Blacks, Indolent by na-
ture, as they confessedly are, would, by the meat tone of emanci-
pation, volt.ntatily produce sugar and coffee to feed more than
twenty millions of Whites ? The law of nature Contradicts It,
experience Is against it, and' erimnion sense rejects it, es one of
those propositions which carries absurdity on its freed

THR LATE Ma. MARRYATT.—AIthough it is a private)
matter, and concerns the family alone, yet, as mast errone-
ous accounts respecting the property left by Mr. Marc ant,
and its distribution, have gone forth to the public, we think
the following will be found nearly correct:—Hu widow
has the house and furniture at Vi imbledon, and 4,0001.
a-year ; each of his seven sons has 31,0001.; each of
his three daughters has 12,0001. The business of Marry-'
'att and Son, which we believe to be u good a West India
Agency, as any in London, of its extent, is left to be
conducted by his let and 3d sons. His property, therefore,
will be 360,0001., exclusive of the house and land belong-
ing to it, a princely fortune, all made as a British mer-
chant.

Before Mr. Bell had finally retired from the Court of
Chancery, he waited on the Lord Chancellor to acquaint
him of his intention. The Learned Lord. justly estimating
the distinguished legal abilities of Mr. Bea, remonstrated
with him on the itnpolicy of putting his intentions iuto im-
mediate execution. "My rd,' said Mr. Bell, "I am
growing old." "I am your senior by seine years," 1
re-
plied Lord Eldon. "My Lord, 1 feel myself growing I
weak." "I am much weaker, Mr. Bell," said the Chan-
cellor. " I hare a swimming in my head "—" and so have
I," retorted his Lordship. "My Lord," said Mr. Bell,
" I have made money cnough.' —The Chancellor was
silent !

met by his learned friends who preceded-Mei.

Mr. Montague followed the Solldtor-Oeneral, Mr. Hart, Mr.
Heald, and Mr. Pollock. His address was principally a repetition
of the same course of remark and reasoning adopted by the precol-
izacgimtlesnen and of the arguments' which the learned gentleman
upon before, as reported in the British Press of yesterday.
In addition to the arguments urged by the learned gentleman yes-
terday, he went over the whole case in detail, and read a mass of
dscumentarf evidence. In commenting on the proceedings before
the Vice-Chancellor, he said that the whole of the evidence was not
beard before his Honour made his decision.
Mr. TaxsaLove, who appeared on the opposite side, observed
that this remark was not correct.
Mr. llicorraouz said, that if it were the intention of Mr. Tray.
love to sakireas the Court, ha should for the present sit down. As
as advocate be claimed the right of being heard without Inter-
r. TaiseLovd said, tlrt the erMence which Mr. Montague
now stated not to have beet before the Vice-Chancellor, was, at'
the request of Mr. Montague, read by his Honour. He said this
to counteract the insinuation to the public that the Vice-Chancellor
decided without evidence.
Mr. Mosyrsoux said, that what be complained of was, that
counsel were not permitted to comment on the evidence. In
.fact, counsel woe not heard for Grimatcad, and he therefore felt
himself at liberty to say so. As to Insinuation to the public,
he was not addressing the public; for the public he cared not a
farthing : he despised the opinion of a babbling world, whose cen.
sure and whose praise were indiscriminately awarded. lie had en-
deavoured to infuse a corresponding feeling in the mind of his late
lamented friend, Sir Samuel Roundly, in oiler to induce him to dis-
engage himself from pursuits foreign to his profession. He al-
luded to the election business at Hristol. That excellent person
asked hint what the anticnts thought in this respect. He (Mr.
111.) replied, by reference to the espreasion of an ancient, Ybocion,
who said, " What have I done smog r This was his feeling too;
and since he was capable of judging. he had always acted on it.
He wished, certainly, to gain the good opinion and esteem of the
profession in which he was engaged, anti of those who surrounded
his fire-side • but for the public he cared not. The Learned (ten-
tlevion proceeded: to read at great length, on the evidence given at
the several examinations before the Commissinners, and also the
evidence given at the trial, and comment upon than.
The LORD CHAXCELLOC (Mr. Montague not having con-
cluded his address) said that he would resume the hearing of fur.
titer argument on Saturday. However inconvenient may be the
length of time it would occupy, he thought it better to hear it to an
end, as great difficulties would arise from the postponement of it,
by losing Lite thread of the arguments which had been offered upon
it. In saying this, he did not mean to complain of the time taken
op by Counsel in the discussion of it, as he was anxious it should
receive In this Court the tidiest and moat patient investigation.
