over the heath it was with some difficulty that the colours
of the riders were distinguished. After running some abort

and loud shout] proclaimed the anticipated success of Gra-

Mr. W. E, Forster, M,P., on Amer:can
Slavery,

Mr. IV. E. Forster, M.P., pre-sic], I lest week at a meet-
ing held at the Mechanics' Ins La ion, Bradford; under
the auspices of the Western Fired Men's Aid Commisien.
He said that the c ddress of that commissic a showed that
in the progress of the fearinl contest waging in the United
States the slaves had flocked wi hin the Federal Ines
in multitudes, in a condition of wretchedness end went,
clothed in raga, toil-worn by marohes, depressed and affiiet( d
by privations and exposure. He considered that, aparc from
the acaeal distress, the slaves of America had s wog claims
on the sympathy of England. He cou'd rot forget that
when the sta:ving people of Ireland were in great dis ress
the Americans moat generously came forward and relieved
them. He could not forget that, a few months ago, when
the sad and terrible war cause.' great misery in L ncaQhire,
notwithstanding the claims which the Americans had at
home, they came forward most nobly to the assistence of
the Lancashire poor. It was therefore now the turn of
England to pay back to the suffering Amerie ins, forthunah
black these negroes wereAmericene,what they had done for
ns. Besides the claims of distress a'-d geatitule, they had
also the special claim that we were friends of the coloured
man and haters of slavery. They had also this claim upon
ue, that the existing state of things followed the emaacipe.
tion of the slave in British dominions. It followed the
efforts which had been made to bring the people of America
to the same standard as ourselves, and to consider slavery
a sin. No one could deny the stand which was made in
this country against American slavery, and the protests
which were being constantly dined into the ears of
Americans who c Imo amoe gst ue, how inconsistent slavery
was wile their institutions, and that those remonstrances
had had a great effect in raising th rt feeling in America
which induced the people of that country to take such a
position against the extension of slavery that the slave-
holder felt the institution threatened; therefore, he
rebelled, and the war began, He was not going to speak
of the merits and demerits of that war, but should confine
his remarks to the condition of the negro in consequence of
it. They hod heard that Mr Jefferson Davis had estiniated
the number of emancipated slaves at 2,000,000. Whether
there was that number, or whether there was only ono-
hal', it was a set-off against the evils of the war, but such
a change could not be brought about without immense
suffering. They must expect it to be severe, and this
country having been instrumental in bringing. it abet, we
ware especially bound to do what we cou'd to relieve it.
He did not regret that we had been thus instrumental in
bringing the existing state of things to their present con-
dition, for we had only taken the position which we would
have taken the more strongly and the more earnestly years
ago if we hal knows how. It was certain'y not our fault
that we had raised the standard of freedom, and done all
that we could to excite our fellow-Christiaes in America
who felt as they ought for their enslaved fellow-citizens.
It was not because we did onr duty in this respect that
therefore we were to blame; blame, of course, fell upon
those who were now reaping the terrible punishment--upon
those who preferred to continue slavemasters rather than
listen to the protests against it. Though the sufferings of
the negroes were great, he must not allow those whom he
addressed to go away with the idea that they were no better
before their present condition was brought about. They
had most delightful end encouraging proofs of the improve=
ment in the condition of the negro, there were encouraging
instances of the noble manner in which, generally
speaking, the negro race had responded to the eOl that
had been made upon them by the circumstances of the
war. Gen. Banks, who was sent down to be governor of
Louisiana after the Federal army hal taken possession of it,
had under his protection many thousands of emancipated
negroes. In March last he wrote stating he had no doubt
whatever the emancipated coloured people mid discharge
all the duties incident to the great change in their coedi•
tion. He had seen them in all situat lees within the last year
and a half, and they seemed to have a clearer comprehen-
sion of their position and duties than many caller classes.
Among other things they demanded they should not be
logged, that they should only labour when they were well
treated, and that their children should be educated. The
touching earnestness with which these poor people asked for
the education of their children was one of the most encour-
aging facts connected with their condition. Though
when Gen. Banks assumed the command of that depart-
ment there were many thousands of coloured people without
employment, and many suffering from disc as, there were
not in March 500 who were not self-suppotang. Col. Hanks,
the superintendent of negro slaver y in the Gulf depar' ment,
said, in February last, he had 6,500 coloured men at work
on the abandoned plantations and fortifica'ions, and he
had no difficulty with them, although it was true that
some of them had a dislike to return to their cld masters.
lie (Mr Forster) considered that among all the diff_rent
end extraordinary statements that had been published
in the English press there had been no more coirmon
statement than that, however abstractedly slavery might
be an evil, yet there was a great difficulty in getting rid
of it; and that emancipation would practically end in
failure, because negroes would never have the courage to
fight for their freedom; and such was the degraded condi-
tion that they would not work without being compelled.
Both these as:ertions had been contradicted by facts. The
slave had earned respect in America from those whose pre-
judices were against him. Mr Felbrigg, a Boston merchant,
had grown large quantities of cotton in the Sea Islends;
and by holding out the hope to the negroes of good payment
eventually he had proved, that with all the peculiar diffic-
culties under which the experiment was labouring, the cost
of cultivation was very little more, if not has, than when it
was grown by the negroes during their s'avery. Such a feet
should make England hopeful with regard to the negro ;
and it should also be considered as a commercial value for
themselves. Even if the South eurceeded, which was not
so certain even in the eyes of their friends, slavery was
disorganised to that extent that it would not do for England
any longer to rely upon it, not merely as friends of the
negrc, not merely as men who wished that a great industry
should no longer depend on the sinful system of slavery for
its support, but also as men who had a commercial interest
in the supply of the most important article of English in-
dustry being placed on the soundest foundation. They
must look to these experiments with the greatest interest
and hope for their success.
The claims of the society were afterwards advocated by
Mr L. Coffin, the Rev. Dr. Mr ssie, and other speakers.
Resolutions were carried in favour of the formation of an
auxiliary at Bradford. A vote of thanks was given to Mr
Forster for presiding, and for his effuits on the American
question in Parliament. This concluded the proceedings.

Corkiere dell Emtlia confirms the news that the
Marquis Pepoli presented his letters of recall to the Empe-
ror of Russia at Darmstadt. The journal adds that the
Czar end Prince Gortschakoff expressed in the most cour-
teous manner their regret at his retirement,

ROYAL GRATITUDE.—T he Nord Zeitung of
Hanover publishes the following anecdote on the
occasion of the annivers-ry of the b.t.le of Leips:c:—
" After that famous er vsement Fredet ick Augur ty, Ri
of Saxony, who had been one of Narolerm's most devc ed
adherents, was made prisoner and t km to Berlin. At the
same time the whole financial admirals ration of S:xony fell
into the hands of the canine ors. Under these circum-
stances, M.B„ a Saxon euperin'erd.nt of finance, who
was devotedly attached to the Royal house of S ixony,
thought it would ba en act of pa rio:ism on his part to
secrete for the King as much as poesible of the fa :cs
his hands, He accordingly abstracted several mirk ns of
thaters, and in the confusion which then prevailed the
Austro-Prussian administrators never missed the money,
When the King was restored to his throne, M, B. solicited
an audience to inorm his Majesty of the existence of 'his
sum; but as, according to the a. iquette of the Saxcn Cow ,
he was not of a rank sufficiently high to claim that honour,
one of the Ministers, M. de Zeschwl:z, was charged to
naive his communication. M. B. then informed the Mini-
ster how he had managed to secure the money and where he
had concealed it. The Minister expressed his sat iefec ion,
and at once communicated the fact to the King. 'M. B. hes
done exceedingly well,' said Frederick Auguerus, 'but how
shall we escape the obligation of rewarding him fur this ten-
vice ?' The Minister promptly replied, Sire, we will give
him a reprimand.' M. B. accordingly received a letter ac
knowledging his good intentions and accepting the money.
He was, however, told that he had coed very rash y, bat
that the King was graciorvly pleased to over:,‘ok his fault

DIE ANTIQUITY OF TUE HOTTENTOTS.—A

FILEY. —NM ENS E CATC Li OF H EIMIN GS.—
Never in the memory of the o'dc-,", fish,?.m ;. hes
there been such a prodigious quantity of herrings eiught as
on last Monday and Tuesday night. One F. ey boat r-
rived on Thursday morning with 13 lasts, and the other 26
belonging to the place varied from 12 to 5 las a eoch. It
is computed that at Scarb rough and Filey lone sot less
than 70 boats contained on en average eight lasts each, and
10,000 being a last, the total of herrioga deliveted ia these
two places would exceed five milliors, Taking an average
of £7 per last, the sum realised would be nearly £4,000.
A barbarous murder of four obild,n by their

dren, ono aged 20 months and the other feu! years, end
then placed them in bed, covering them over with a sheet.
He next took the two others, aged seven and nine, to the
river Ain, and wading iota the water drowned them both.
The crime completed, he went home, changed his wet
clothes, and absconded. No traces have been obtained of
him.
