about half that number ; and by that time the
slave-holders calculate on adding one or more new
slave states, by taking a slice or two from Mexico!
Even should the Kansas free-soilers refuse the
disgraceful bribe, and elect to remain a territory,
the slavery men will have gained time to balance
their power afresh by creation of new slave states.
Parallel with this political monstrosity, we read
in all the American papers, secular and daily,
as well as religious papers, long accounts of
a monster religious revival. The weekly edi
tion of the New York Tribune, the paper of the
largest daily circulation in the States, and edited
by the well-known HORACE GREELY, is now before
us. The number for the 3rd of April, eight
pages of forty-eight columns, is entirely devoted
to a kind of history of the movement, and of its
actual character throughout the country. Mr.
GREELY speaks respectfully -of it, although it is
in opposition to his own religious sentiments, as
he is a Universalist, wo are told, and the revival
is almost confined to what are termed evangelical
denominations. It is, he states, pretty nearly
confined to the Free States, having hardly pene-
trated the Slave States at all ; a circumstance,
doubtless, in its favour. He appears to lean to
the opinion that the commercial reverses of last
Fall, and the bitter disappointment about Kansas,
disposed mans' minds to turn to religion as a
counterpoise. It commenced in New York.
There has been, wo are told, no mani-
festation of extravagance, nothing which
even an English clergyman, who 'writes on the
subject, could itstice as the least violation of pro-
priety and order. There were no monster, no
" fire and brimstone " preachers. Indeed, it be-
gan with the laity, the business men of the city,
the class parallel with our men of 'Change,
arranging to hold a prayer-meeting for one hour,
in the very midst of business hours ! And these
meetings aro wholly unsectarian, and unclerical,
and, under the name of Union Prayer-meetings,
have spread all over the Union. " The Revival
—says the Tribune of the 3d of April—his
passed, and is still passing over the country like
a wave ; the existence of an unusual religions in-
terest is recognised and acknowledged in almost
every town, village, and district throughout the
entire Northern and Western States." " The
excitement of a Presidential canvass could hardly
call forth more general interest or more active
participation !"
Englishmen will be naturally inclined to ask—
and what about slavery ? Do the Revivalists
show marked symptoms of penitence for their
great national sin ? Have they learned to
regard coloured people as brother men ? Do
they still drive them out of the white man's omni-
bus, and steamboat saloon, and still drive them
into a negro pew, or into a separate church for
coloured men ? At the " Union Prayer-meetings"
are petitions heard for the emancipation of the
slave, and confessions heard of national guilt for
the most horrible form of slavery ever heard of in
Heathendom, Judaism, or Christendom ? Ws
shall never believe, on this side the Atlantic, in
the reality of any general religious movement in
the States which does not emancipate the slave.
On this subject Mr. GREELY'S paper gives us little
information. " President BUCHANAN, and four
millions in chains," are, it says, daily prayed for
in a coloured church. Ode or two letters by
fugitive slaves were read, requesting thanksgivings
for escape to New York, and prayer for their
" complete deliverance from the power of the
manhunter !" But, one coloured man writes to
the Tribune, that he and a coloured woman were
asked to go into a separate room, and hold a ser-
vice separately from the white sinners who
were praying for conver,sion, ! We notice, however,
that the religious organisations in America are
splitting on the question of slavery. The Metho-
dists, Baptists, and Presbyterians are already dis-
organised by it, and the Northern churches are re-
fusing association with those of the South. The
American Tract Society—one of the oldest and
richest of the religious societies—is quite divided ;
the Northern divines maintaining that as slavery
is a sin, religious tracts must denounce it ; the
Southern Reverends demanding expurgated tracts
for their Slave Slates ! To us Englishmen, it
seems that as Christianity, in every form in civi-
lised Europe, has broken the fetters of the slave,
so the Christianity of America is unworthy of the
name of civilised Christianity unless it does the
same. As to revisal of religion, we are confident
that it must be a very earthly revival—a revival
of which the Exchange and the "Almighty dollar"
are the inspiration, unless it cast out the demon
of Slavery. That will be our test. If it crush
slivery, we shall believe that it came from Heaven.
If it uphold it, or pass by on the other side, it
comes not from Him who gave us the parable of
the good Samaritan.

MR. SMITH O'BRIEN ON A FRENCH INVASION.

Having exhausted the stock of home suijccts,
Mr. Swith O'Brien has this week contributed to the
_Nation, a long and laboured essay on the state of
foreign relations. In it there is one passage in re-
ference to an event which, perhaps, might as well
have been permitted to slumber ; but, as Mr.
O'Brien cho:-ises to revive the question, it may be
as well to know his real views respecting the re
ception of an invading French army in Ireland.
He says :
" I have been charged by British statesmen with hav-
ing sought armed assistance from France in 1848. The
charge was false, though it received a certain ranction
from the language of M. Lamartine. I invited in 1848 the
sympathies of the French people for the cause of Ire-
land. I invite them still. The French people know
perfectly well how to distinguish between the Irish and
the English nation. The reception which has recently
been given in France to a memoir of Robert Emmet,
beautifully written by a granddaughter of the celebrated
Madame Stael—the Countess de Hau3sonville—indi-
cates the feeling of France towards Ireland. This Fort
of sympathy I cherish, but have no desire to see a
French army within the shores of this island. If we
cannot acquire and maintain our national rights by our
own vigour and public spirit, we shall never acquire or
maintain them by the aid of a French army. lam in-
clined to think that there is in Ireland a considerable
section of the population who would prefer to live
under French rule rather than under the Govern-
ment of Great Britain, but I do not participate
in this sentiment. I admit, indeed, that the treatment
which the Catholics of Ireland would have experienced
from France in comparison with that which they expe-
rienced from England during the operation of the penal
laws would have been greatly in favour of French- rule.
But it is not so now. The constitutional Government of
Great Britain is greatly preferable to the arbitrary des-
potism which now prevails in France. Liberty of speech
is wholly unknown in that country, and a police
espionage pervades the whole of society. With me,
at least, no amount of material prosperity could com-
pensate this deprivation of liberty. I am, there-
fore, little disposed to wish that my country
should be converted into a French province. Do not
imagine that a French army would aid you to acquire
national independence. Wherever the French arms
have been borne—whether into Spain, into Italy, into
Belgium, or Holland—they have been carried for the
extension of French power, not with a view to the libe-
ration of oppressed nationalities. I confess, therefore,
that I would •earnestly wish to see 300,000 Irishmen
under arms when the French colonels prepare to pay
their promised visit to London. I believe that the
people of Ireland, if properly organised and animated
by a noble spirit of self-relying patriotism, would be
able to protect this island against every external foe.
Perhaps the Irish people if armed might, in the event
of hostilities with France, call to mind the precedent set
them by their fathers in 1782, and might say, ' We will
protect your empire in the hour of its utmost need, but
as a preliminary we require the restitution of a Parlia-
ment to Ireland with unrestricted powers of self-govern-
ment. Such a demand—such a compact would be pi r-
fectly legitimate, and would entitle you to thanks such
as the Volunteers' of 1782 received, not only from their
own countrymen, but from the British Government,"
TIRE O'CONNELL FIAMILY.
The remains of Mr. John O'Connell were interred
yesterday beside those of his brother Maurice in
Glasnevin Cemetery. The funeral cortege is said to
have been the longest since the burial of O'Connell
in 1847. After the body had been consigned to
the vault a meeting was held in the cemetery, fur
the purpose of taking the preliminary steps towards
the formation of a committee to collect subscrip-
tions to a fund for the relief of the widow and chil-
dren of the deceased. The Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor presided, and resolutions expressive of con-
dolence with and sympathy for Mrs. O'Connell
and her family were adopted. The meeting was
addressed by the Right Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald,
M.P., Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, Mr. Patrick O'Brien,
M P., Sergeant Deasy, &c. A sum amounting to
nearly 1,0001. was collected on the spot, and a
permanent committee of gentlemen nominated for
the purpose of receiving further contributions.

DEATH OF CAPT. SIR WA!, PEEL, K.C.B.

The death of this gallant officer, from small-pox,
rs communicated to us by the Government telegram,
which appears in anoth-r column. It is not too
much to say that the nation will participate in the
grief into which his family aro thrown by the
mournful event.
Capt. Sir Wm. Peel was third s-m of the late Sir
R. Peel, Bart., and born in Nov., 1824. He en-
tered the navy as midshipman on board the Princess
Charlotte, Capt. A. Fanshawe, flag of Admiral Sir
R. Stopford, in 1838, and took part in the bom-
bardment of St. Jeau &Acre, from which ship he
removed to the Monarch, and afterwards to the
Cambrian, Capt. Chads, in which ship of war he
served in the China Seas. In 1844 he passed his
examination in such a brilliant manner, that he
nailed forth the warm eulogiums of Sir T. Hastings
and Sr C. Napier, and was forthwith promoted to
the rank of lieutenant. In May that year he was
appointed to the Winchester, 50 guns, on the Cape
of Good Hope station, and shortly after removed
to the Cormorant, steam sloop in the Pacific, and
subsequently to the Thalia, 42, on the same station.
Sir William was promoted to the rank of commander
June, 1846, and was appointed to the command of
the Daring on the North American and West India
station. The lamented captain held several minor
commands until the outbreak of the late war with
Russia. He was captain of the Diamond, 28, in the
Black Sea fleet, and distinguished himself greatly
with the Naval Brigade in the Crimea ; and his
name will ever be associated with the gallant doings
of the Diamond battery before Sebastopol. Capt.
Peel was compelled, from wounds and over-nicer-
Coo, to return to his native country before the
fall of that formidable fortress, to recruit his health,
but his services were acknowledged by the bestowsl
of the Victoria Cross. At the commencement of
the differences with China, in 1856, he was appointed
to the command of the Shannon, 51, screw frigate,
ordered on the China station. Captain Peel bad
scarcely reached the Chinese waters before he was
ordered by the Ambassador, Lord Elgin, to proceed
with troops to Calcutta to afford assistancein the sup-
pression of the mutiny in the Bengal army. Since
the Shannon anchored in the Hoogbley Sir Wm.
Peel's exertions with his brave crew was unremit-
ting in carrying out the views of the Governor-
General. He made, with his men, a most rapid
progress to Allahabad and into Cawnpore, and, as
most of our readers are aware, was severely
wounded in the capture of Lucknow, under Gen.
Sir Colin Campbell, by a musket shot in the thigh.
Captain Sir W. Peel was made a Companion of the
Order of the Bath for his services in the Crimea,
and for his recent services in India nominated a
Knight-Commander of that order of knighthood.
He was also an officer of the Legion of Honour of
France, and of the Imperial order of the Medjidie,
and had received the Sardinian war medal. Sir
William was the favourite son of his illustrious fa-
ther. It is related that in speaking of his son after
the war on the coast of Syria, Sir R. Peel said, " I
am indeed proud of my salor son. if he have the
opportunity, I feel certain he will follow the heroic
career of oue he socks to emulate—Nelson."

THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AT EPSOM GRAND STAND.-.,
In the coerce of an eloquent sermon yesterday morning
at the Surrey Music-hall, the hall being very full, the
aoove rev, gentleman announced his intention of preach-
ing a sermon on Friday week from the Grand Star,d at
Epsom to his friends there, and he &so expressed bis
hope that on the occasion he should be favoured with a
large attonclance of "c•utsidere."

By the decease of Captain Evans the appointment cf
Captain of Invalids at Chel,ea Hospital has become
vacant, and is in the gift of the Earl of Donoughmore,
Paymaster-General.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Tins Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.--DAVISON V. ROBINSON.

The further hearing of this part heard appeal was re•
sumed this morning.
Mr. Wilcock, Q.C., and Mr. Toriano were heard for
the appellant.
Mr. Rolt, Q C., and Mr. Bagshaw were heard for the
defendant.

This was an appeal from the usual foreclosure decree
by Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, on a aloe-
gage deed for 350/. Two points arose in this case-Ist
A❑ objection was taken to the admissibility of a cap'',
not authenticated, of the bankrupt's examination before
the Commissioner in Bankruptcy.
The defendant's attoraey, Mr. Walker, and his clerk
were examined on oath, and proved the production of
the original examination of the bankrupt in this suit--
the loss of the original examination upon—and that the
copy produced was a true and correct copy of the original
examination.

The Lord Chancellor admitted the copy as evidence•

2. An exception was then taken to the Vice•Ohan-
caller's decree cn the ground of want of consideration
for granting the mortgage deed, and undue preference by
the bankrupt to the plaintiff, which rendered the mort-
deed null and void.

The Lord Chancellor, after hearing counsel for the
parties on this exception, directed an issue to be tried
at the next York Assizes, " whether the bankrupt gave
