merit any substantial chance of complaint, appears to me 1
to aff_re: a broad basis on which the demand for the en-
largement of the powers of the Court may be conveniently
founded. The great advantage-of proceeding by units,
and net by misses.; is, that every individual liberation
would amount to the assertion of a vital principle, without
affording any reasonable pretext for apprehension or alarm.
" It may not be easy to suggest any better expedient
than that recognised by treaty, for the case of a difference
of opinion between the two Commissary Judges. It is
true that, :n doubtful cases, a decided leaning has been
observed, on the part of the Spanish Members of the
Court, towards the acquittal of the prizes b ought up for
condemnation ; and there may, therefore, be some reason
to apprehend a corresponding disposition, to resist the
liberation of the negro clients of the British prosecutor
As often as a sufficient air of doubt can be, thrown over the
rase to justify the hesitation of the Spanish Commissary
Judge.
On the very worst supposition it is possible to con-
ceive, the drawing of lots for the choice of the arbitrator
would be resorted to in every case, without a single ex-
ception.
" The practice o' the Spanish Judges, however indefen-
sible in many particular instances, has never yet been
•.arried to this systematic extreme, and, in fairness, it can-
not be said there is any just reason to anticipate such an
unheard of design of vertinacity for the future. But sup-
pose for a moment that the Spanish Judge and the Spanish
arbitrator were to be for ever deaf to the calls of duty, and
the evidence of fact, It results front the mere doctrine of
chances, which, when applied to thousands of cases, be-
comes infallible, that one-half of the whole of those to
be thus presented to the mixed Court fur adjudication
would be decided in favour of the liberty of the slave.
Now the systematic liberation of one-half only of the fu-
ture importations would be perfectly sufficient to prevent
the planter from paying a remunerating price to the dealer
er importer, and hence it is demonstrated that the system
I propose must be fatal to the trade.
" Objections of a dilatory nature may, of course, be ex-
pected on the part of her Catholic Majesty's Ministers, at
the outset of the negotiation. Tho necessity or conve-
nience of consulting the Governors or Captain's-General
of their transatlantic possessions, will probably be urged
is a reason for withholding their immediate assent to a
proposition which is calculated to affect the fixture interests
and prosperity of the Spanish West India colonies. To ren-
der this pretence unavailing, I am strongly of opinion that
the past and future importation of slaves into these co-
lonies should be separated from each other by a broad line
of distinction ; and that the object of the proposed nego-
tiation should be exclusively confined to the case of future
importations. The most convenient terminus a quo would
probably be the date of the first official note of the British
Ambassador, directing the attention of her Catholic Ma-
jesty's Government to the subject.
He was sure that he need not go further into the details ;
but he would, with the permission of the meeting, just
tdvert to what was said of his suggestions in the IVest-
minster Review, a work of high authority. In that work
there was an article on Mr. Buxton's book, on which
that Review tore both Mr. Buxton and himself to pieces ;
but he had admitted that if his (Mr. T.'s) plan
could be brought into operation, it would be effectual;
and the only objection he had to it was, that he thought
the Spanish Government would not agree to it. Now,
'hough the authority of that Review was high, he could
not agree with it, for he was convinced that Spain would
adopt it ; and if it did, the Reviewer admitted that by it
the value of the slave would be destroyed, and the en-
couragement to deal in them would be done away with.
He had a collection of reviews, which had been furnished
him by his bookseller; but he would not trouble the
meeting by reading them, as it would be sufficient for him
to say they were all favourable to the plan he had
brought forward. If it was consistent with the views of
the Convention, he should propose three things ; first, an
Address from the Convention to the Spanish Government
and people, pressing the plan upon their attention. He
should next propose an address to the French Govern-
ment, asking them to press the subject on the Spanish
Government.---( Hear, hear, hear.) He had spoken
with the King of the French with respect to it, and
he was happy to say he was very much disposed to for.
ward it. Thirdly, he should propose an address from
that Convention to the Government of the Queen of this
country, praying that it would direct that the Foreign
Office, which it was difficult to move, should consider the
subject. He could not understand from Lord Palmerston
whether he approved of the plan or not.—( Cheers).
Judge JEREMY felt extreme reluctance to appear before
them two days successively, but he felt called upon to say
a few words on the subject. Mr. Turnbull's intentions
all present viewed to be excellent ; his talents were emi-
nent, and his zeal was surpassed by none ; it was, there-
fore, with great regret that, while he acknowledged the
importance of the plan, he felt bound to doubt its success. •
Now what was that plan ? Why, precisely the one they
had at the Mauritius, which did not succeed. In that
country they had excellent judges, and an excellent public
prosecutor, and yet they had not succeeded in abolishing
slavery, for all the public officers there must shut their eyes
to what was going on. How, therefore, could it be passible
to adopt there the plan proposed by Mr. Turnbull? There
was another objection he entertained, which was to the
principle of the plan, and there, perhaps, rested the object
of the Foreign Office. What were they aiming at by the
present proposal? Why, to induce the Spanish Govern-
ment to determine rights of property arising within their
own territories.—(Cheers.) The King of the French,
Mr. Turnbull had said, seemed inclined to favour his plan.
Now how did they stand with respect to them ?
Why, the King of the French would not allow
foreigners to try French subjects or. board French vessels ;
indeed it would not even allow them to be tried by a
,nixed commission.—(Cheers.) Although he admired
the principle developed in the plan of Mr. Turnbull, look-
ing at what had taken place in the Mauritius, he felt bound
to say that it did not deserve the name of the panacea for
the abolition of slavery over the whole world.--( Cheers.)
Mr. STURGE felt bound to say a few words on the proposal
of his friend, Mr. Turnbull, believing that it was perfectly
consistent with the principles of that Society to take it
up.—( Cheers. ) Whether it could be carried out or not,
was another question ; but he did think that the Conven-
tion was bound to endeavour as far as possible to get the
principle asserted, either by English or foreign authorities.
(Cheers.) As he understood the purport of Mr. T urn-
bull, it amounted to this, that a system of registration
should be adopted in slave countries which would throw
the onus probandi upon the owners of s'aves, to show the
slave was his, and not that the slave should be obliged to
prove his freedom.—(Cheers ) That in his opinion was
a great point to be accomplished ; but he would carry it
further. He thought that the spirit of the treaty with
Cuba ought to be carried out to the letter, and that
whenever a master could riot prove a man his slave, he
should be set free.—( Cheers. )
Mr. D. Criewessoe was zfraid of sacrificing prin-
ciples to something like expediency, which would afford
a shelter under which their enemies might entrench
themselves. He thought the proposition of Mr. Turn.
bull was one which ought to be considered well before it
was rejected.
Dr. Bowers:a could not but consider that the Convention
was not at that moment prepared to address the Govern-
ments of Great Britain, France, and Spain, on so im-
portant a subject, but thought, however, that the
subject was one well worthy of the consideration of a
Committee. With respect to Spain, he could not
forget that, twenty years ago, there was a great desire in
that conntry to abolish the slave trade. He was present
when several resolutions were passed in that country de-
claring the necessity of abolishing slavery ; but those re-
solutions were passed by as the idle wind, which was not
regarded.— ( Cheers ) He did not think they would do
their friend Mr. Turnbull justice, unless they 'cut an at-
tentive ear to his proposal, and examined it in all its bear-
ings. He should therefore move that a Select Committee
should be appointed to examine and report on Mr. Turn-
bull's proposition.
Mr. JOSIAH CONDER thought the proposition of Mr.
Turnbull, as a subsidiary measure, was well worthy the at-
tention of the Convention, and on that ground he should
second the resolution for the appointment of a Committee
to consider the subject, and to report thereon.
Mr. Herinrs thought if they left the high ground and
principle they had assumed, and consented to adopt a plan
that only went to alleviate slavery instead of its total ex-
tinction, they would lose the moral influence they now pos-
sessed to put an end to the system altogether.--(Cheers. )
He would therefore give r o countenance to any plan that
recognised the existence of slavery at all.—( Cheers )
Mr. STERGE would ha e been sorry indeed to base elven
his assent to any propo:ition %bleb might have the effect
of impeding or injuring the great object they had in view,
namely, the total xtinction cf slavery over the face of the
whole world. Ile believed that Mr. Turnbull's plan
would have no ,uch effect, and he therefore thought it
their duty to consider it well before they either adopted or
rejected it.

Dr. Mourti;oN said that there was a great principle in
the movement itself. Such propositions as these were
xhat he expected to come out of the Convention, and he
thought, therefore, they ought to be well considered. Ile
considered that the moral influence of the Convention
would be felt more by foreign Powers than any of the
protocols that had been issued by the Government—
( Loud cheers.)
Mr. SANII7EL SOUTHALL, of Leominster, was afraid, if
they took the course now proposed, they would in some de-
gree be listening to expediency. If he understood the
proposition it was to adopt a system of registration by
which slavery would be modified, and if that was so he
could not but think they ought to do nothing to compro-
mise their principles.
The Rev. N. CoLvite. agreed with Mr. Harris that if
they adopted the plan proposed by Mr. Turnbta they
would lose their moral influence, as they would sanction
slavery by it for a season. Now what they wanted was
immediate emancipation, and that alone.—( Cheers.)
Dr. BOWRINO said that the reference of this prososition
to a Committee did not pledge the Convention to its ap-
proval.—( Cheers. ) All he desired was that the Commit-
tee should be charged with the duty of inquiring whether
subjectmight
the proposition was consistent with the great principles the
Convention acted upon.—( Cheers.) Many whose opi-
nions he respected thought there was a great deal in
the plan, and therefore he considered that they ought not
to reject it hastily. The Committee would have to report
during the
whole
FRANCIS BARKER, Esq., of Pontefract, thought they ought
ght o fbe thberou egohntvehnetfoiorne, them.
and
to stick to the great principles they had set out with, and
not enter into sahjects of minor consideration.
The Rev. J. KENNEDY, of Aberdeen, said that it had
struck him in the course of the present discussion that two
mistakes existed in the minds of thos.e who had opposed
Mr. Turnbull's plan. They had at first considered it as
one for the abolition of slavery instead of the slave trade.
Now his plan was to render the slave trade of little value,
by making the possession of them insecure, and thereby
making the traffic less profitable.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting,
and declared it to be carried unanimously.
The Report of the Committee on American Papers was
brought up, and on the motion of John Backhouse, Esq.,
seconded by 11Ir. es.
Crewdson, it was resolved
that the replies to the queries of the British and Foreign 'I
Anti-Slavery Society,
on slavery in the United States,
furnished by the Committee of the American Anti-Slavery

Society, containing most valuable and very important in-
formation, be now received and referred to the Publication
Committee, to nublish the whole or such parts as they
may deem expedient.
On the motion of Dr. BowaiNG, seconded by the Rev.
Mr. SCALES, the following resolutions were also agreed
to :

Resolved—That this meeting has heard with deep in-
terest the measures adopted by the Viceroy of Egypt for
the suppression of the abominable slave hunts by his High-
ness's troops, and especially the declaration of his wish to
aid is bringing about the extinction of slavery. That the
thanks of this meeting be communicated to him, with the
assurance that the friends of civilization throughout the
world will hail with delight every step taken by the Vice-
roy in furtherance of his just and generous purpose,
whether by -impeding the importation of, and traffic
in slaves by the encouragement of agricultural produc-
tions in Central and Eastern Africa, by the abolition of
slave markets in his dominions, or by any, or legitimate
and pacific measures which may facilitate the manumission
of slaves and the entire overthrow of slavery.
That the present moment, when European powers are
exercising so general an influence os the affairs of the
Ottoman Empire, is peculiarly favourable to their inter-
vention for the suppression of slavery in the regions of the
East, and that a memorial be presented to Lord Viscount
Palmerston, entreating his Lordship's assistance in ob-
taining such declarations from the Sultan as are likely to
lead to the entire abolition of slavery in the countries sub-
ject to the Sultan's government.
On the motion of Mr. R. ALLEN, seconded by the
Rev. Mr. HINTON, a Committee was appointed to inquire
whether it it the case that manacles for slaves and bowie
knives, and other instruments of cruelty, were manufac-
tured in this country ? Whether it is the case that large
quantities of inferior fire arms are manufactured in this
country to be sold to the Africans for their slave wars?
Whether it is the case that cotton goods of a particular
fabric, and to a large amount, are manufactured in this
country, and solely intended for being used as barter for
African slaves ? Whether persons in England hold shares
in Brazilian and other mines, which are worked by slaves?
Whether any British Joint Stock Banks have branches os •
tablished in countries in which the slave trade prevails,
and whether quantities of gunpowder are exported from
any part or parts of Great Britain to Africa, and other
parts of the world respectively.
THE ACCIDENT.
One of the Members of the Convention wished to state
with respect to the accident that had taken place in that
room that day, that the unfortunate individual who had
fallen from the ledge near the ceiling while opening the
windows, was going on favourably, and that their two
friends who were injured by that fall had sufficiently re-
covered to proceed to the city.
The Convention then adjourned. it being half•past
eight o'clock, till to-morrow (this day) at ten o'clock.
