Bokbara of the Rev. Doctor, and that he had been
kindly received by the Bokharees. No mention;

In a conversation which. we hive just had with an officer
a., ,
who has recently returned, atter a
long service on the• 'coast.of Africa, in the pursuit and capture
•)1 slave.-ship:, we.ll4;ve been assured that the statement of
Lord Pahm-rsto,t, in th, ILm.ie of CWIIIIIOIIB, last.night; of the
extent to which the slave-tradc is carried on, with the at-
, lendint cruelties and horrors. Ai no'i over-stated. At the
*

'same time mita' satisfaction iSexp;-!,k,(•:1 at 'the strong ex-
pressions of .Sir Robert Peel. that . the GoVernment
Will :continue, most zealousiV,:w put a• termination to
this inhuman traffic. But, whit! the -Republic of the United
.Stat 6 vemain4 passive, as well as the Governments of Spain
and the :Brazilkhs aiding the exertions of Great Britain and
lfranCe to Obtain so desirable en object, our informant is.very
ston4yiq opinion,;after taanr deseussions among the officers
:of trie;Queeri's ships on the coast of Africa, that this.
abonitnAhle'll*le will not be put an lend to. To the pros-
pects o.t:,,ris" ings, among 'the ,laws iu the ifraz its. anti.. the.
So uthern.States Of America, tlia parties just referred to, in
the naval service of this country, look almost with cer-
tainty, as the motive that will necessitate the easy and
entire abolition of slavery. It will be in fact, a-question of safety
with the.countries:cOncerned to take measures for emancipating
their labourers, and, as far as•the Government is concerned,
Brazil is known to_ be favourable, however strongly it may.
have 'to'cotitend with its subjects.
' The purchases of the jobbers who were deficient of stock
for the settling-day haying been completed, prices are
retrograding, and there is an attempt making by the Beers
to make them lower for the Nor Account. It is presumed;
however, that
_their success will be but temporary. Con-
sols for immediate transfer have been quoted
to 4. ExChequer Billa are 78s. to 795. premium,
bell* very firm. The New Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. obtain :102A to 1011, the Iletiticed 10:11 to and
the Three. per Cents. 100} to, par, being all slightly lower.
Bank. Stack, hoWever, is suppoited at 200, and India Stock
at 284.
The Foreign lnvestneuts have been dull again, but Spanish
Three per Cents, are better, being 33k to j. The Actives
have 'merely supported the; rally of yesterday afternoon to
22A Mexican Bonds have been quiet at 36 to 35i. Bel-
gian are steady at 10-4, and Danish at 88i. Dutch Two-
