MORNING EDITION

AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the COM-
-MITTEE of BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI
SL SOCIETY, held at 27, .New Bread-street, on
the fi'h May, 1541, it was unanimously resolved—
"l ha, this Committee have heard with deep regret, the an-
nouncemeot lately made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer
of the intention of her Majesty's Government to lower the
Customs Duty on Foreign Sugars, ohether the produce of
free or slave labour, to such a scale as will admit of the impor-
tation of a vast quantity of that article into the British market
for home consumption, especially from Brazil and Cuba, in
which countries the atrocious system of slavery is maintained
in all its rigour, and the revolting traffic in human beings is
carried on to an enormous extent.
That the inevitable tendency of such reduction in the duties
will be to stimulate the growth of sugar in those countries, by
materially increasing the demand for it in this, by which the
extent of the slave trade will be increased, and its unutterable
horrors aggravated and prolonged, while the condition of the
wretched and degraded slaves already in bondage will be ren-
tiered more grievous aryl intolerable than ever.
That as the Legislature of this country has declared the
slave-trade to be piracy, and the system of slavery to be essen-
tia'ly unjust, and has sanctioned a vast outlay of the national
treasure in the suppression of the former and the abolition of
the latter, in the 'West India colonies, it would be flagrantly
inconsistent, directly or indirectly, to promote, extend, or
countenance such enormous evils, or to seek an increase of
revenue from such an iniquitous source.
That the Committee would therefore urge upon the Friends
of Humanity, both in and out of Parliament, to offer the most
strenuous and decided opposition to the measure proposed by
Ouvemment, in so far as it may affect the Article of Sugar,
the growth of slave labour, as a great duty which they owe to
the principles of universal justice and benevolence, and, as
they firmly believe, to the best interests of their country.

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
- PILLS.
TO 4R. PROUT, 229, STIUND, LONDON

Si Dartf Jan 2 141. Sir,-1 have much pleasure in stating to you thatord. Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills have been of be greatest ,ervire to me. Between
nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mo't painful
disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which 1 suffered in my legs and
thighs for so long a pei io .1; any description which can pos.
11.9 s gireof my then miserable sate. I vould ,eldom obtain either
rest or steep I had the best medical advice, 'nclurling that of two
phy.icia.s in Lnndon, without obtidning any essential relief I wen,
to Marg.:de, and had the best in edi al :..dvice, trying the warm bath
there, ant; at other places, without obtaining any benefit.
A shot time ago I was rec .mmen,m,i to try Blair's flout and
Ilbeilmat,c ; and w e!eby induced to purchase a box of this
valuable medicine of Mears Hammond and Co , Chemists of this
town, and before I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was
entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health by taking
a few more Pills, and ha Pity there ha, been no return of this di.
tressing malady Y u are at liberty to publish my ca:e, in the hope
thereby that this excellent nvdicine may he the means of relieving
outliers I am, sir, yours, respectfully,
J. B Minns, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent.
r,s—lf I could yossit,ly speak in stronger terms of your invalu-
able seedi ine I should be most happy, for it is impossible for lan-
guage to describe the relief I have experienced.
The never-fsiiing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
LLS in curing every de crip• ion of Gout and Rheumatism, have
seemed to them a e lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or
present times They no- odly give relief in a few hours, where the
patient has ben driven nearly to madness by the excruciating
tortures of the: disease, but restore to perfect health in an incon-
.ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in
rheumatism, either chronic or acute,lumbago, sciatica, pains in the
head or face, and indeed for every
