Our report of the General Mania of thg African Usti-
lotion, held on Weduesday at the Freemaaons' T
mated the object to Le to afford educatiou to poor Africa
at a abstainer from their own country. Now, this is not
carrel. The object of the Institution is rather to promote
the civilisation of Africa, by last/sitting its natives in their
awes pantry in the arta of civilised life, by introducing a
IMMIIe garde of culture, furnishing them with seeds or ma-
gpl pieket, ; though, from the went of fund►, this part
ofthe object of the Institutive has bees. necessarily in a
great messier. suspended. The only education gives to '
Africa*. in this tooestry has bees to a few African youths of
orspeetahle conamilons, with t►e view of lifting them to act
as sobastamatent in their own country. Asether object of
she Institution, and one w►ich hos necessarily occupied the
largest portico of its attention, is the total supp►emion of
the slave trade, w►ich no. unfortunately rages on the Coast
of Africa lv an enormous event; and to details on this sub-
ject most of the Report read yesterday was devoted. Ou►
account, which stated that it ►elated enteily to the exertions
of the Society for offending religions and other isetruction
to poor Africans, who otherwise. would have appeared
wretched objects about our street., is therefore without
foundation ; se is also the account of massy tech iodividuals
having attended the Meeting. There rertaiuty was not au
