LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, MAIICd 29, 1838

ABOLITION OF NEGRO SLAVERY.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved-1. That in reflecting on Lord Melbourn's reply to
their memorial, the delegates feel unable adequately to express their
surprise and sorrow at the very unsatisfactory character of that re-
ply—at the extraordinary assertion that, 41 with certain draw-
backs," the operation of the apprenticeship system has, " on the
whole, been auspicious"—at the unfairness of endeavouring to
transfer to the abolitionists the onus of those perilous consequences
which can result only from an unrighteous policy—and at the an-
nounced determination of her Majesty's Ministers to resist the call
of the country, and the claim of justice, in behalf of the enslaved

2.
That being disappointed in our hope of the direct aid of a
Government, professedly liberal, in securing immediate liberty to
the British slave, we resolve the more strenuously to exert our le-,
gitimate influence with nen of every political party in the House off
Commons, to obtain their support of Sir George Strickland's mo-
tion to-morrow evening : renewing, at the same time, the ex-
pression of our confident reliance on the Almighty Deliverer of the
oppressed.

3. That we further call on the friends of Emancipation in all the
Constituencies of the Empire to mark, and to bear in remembrance,
the eventful votes which will in a few hours have decided the fate
of Sir George Strickland's motion.
4. That, having learned that it is the intention of Lord John
Russell to meet the Resolutions of Sir George Strickland by mov-
ing as an amendment, the second reading of Lord Glenelg's Bill
for the amendment of the Abolition Act, the Delegates feel them-
selves called upon to petition against such a course, as calculated
to defeat their great object, and protract the wrongs of the Negro
race. That the following be such Petition, to be signed by the
Chairman in the name of the body of Delegates, and that Dr.
Lushington be respectfully requested to present the same to the
House of Com-mons.
5. That, should the Government opposition occasion the loss of
Sir George Strickland's motion, it will only be considered a tem-
porary delay of that success, to attain which the country is pledged
to put forth all its efforts ; and that, contemplating the possibility
of this event, the Delegates direct their Secretaries immediately to
issue a eirettlar to their friends in the country, calling on them
to hold themselves in readiness to call public.meetings, and to renew
their petitions, with the least possible 'delay, and to manifest, by
their speedy and strenuous exertions that they will not retire from
this contest until blessed with a happy and successful issue.
6. That these resolutions and petition be published in The Sun,
Morning Advertiser, Morning Chronicle, Morning Herald, and
Patriot Papers, and sent by circular to all parts of the empire.
PETITION.
The humble Petition of the Delegates from Anti-Slavery Socie-
ties in Great Britain and Ireland, assembled at Brown's Hotel,
Palace-yard, this 28th day of March, 1838,
Sheweth,
That your petitioners have learned with equal surprise and regret
that her Majesty's Minister in the House of Commons has declared
his intention to propose as an amendment to the motion of which
Sir George Strickland has given notice, for the abolition of negro
apprenticeship, the second reading of a Bill now before your Ho-
nourable House, entitled " Slavery Abolition Act Amendment
Bill," and which has already passed the House of Lords.
That although your Petitioners abstained from the expression
of any opinion on that Bill during its progress through the Upper
House, especially as it was distinctly understood that it was not to
interfere with a measure having for its object the terminatian of the
apprenticeship system, they now feel themselves called upon, in
consequence of the aforesaid declaration, earnestly to implore your
Honourable House not to suffer the said Bill to be substituted for a
measure which your Petitioners consider to be the only remedy for
the evils of the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 ; but that your Ho-
nourable House will forthwith pass an Act to secure entire and un-
conditional freedom for the negroes held as apprenticed labourers in.
the 13ritish Colonies on or before the first of August next ensuing.
And your Petitioners, &c.
Signed on behalf of the assembled Delegates,
W. T. BLAIR, Chairman.

THE GRAND SUITE OF RECEIVING ROOMS
demonstrate the capability of having Soirees on a scale not to be
exceeded in this fashionable part of the town. The Salle a Manger
is worthy of an Ambassador, and the domestic arrangement is
throughout so very perfect as to leave nothing to be desired.
THE EXTENSIVE GARDENS

found in the very heart of the Metropolis. The Stabling and Coach-
houses, of an extended scale, and approaching Bond-street, form an
auxiliary of considerable import ; and to those who have no anti-
paths to increase their ways and means in the shape of income, a
plan has been suggested to divide this splendid Mansion and its
Grounds, se as to render it a speculation free from doubt or un-
certainty.
