COLONIAL SLAVERY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD .
shall make no apology for sending- you the follotos'e
remarks on Slavery, as it appears to me that the party who 0,„
making such strenuous efforts for its immediate abolition sts
actuated by ignorance or by motives that they do not choose
fed
avow. I presume it will be admitted, that slavery has esi, te,
from time immemorial. We have an early instance of it bf
corded in. the.37th chapter- of Genesis, when Joseph was 501 d,,;
his brethren to the Midianites; and it is evident, from the s'
rative, that slavery had long existed, and even at that Ten
period it was very common ; for, iu the 17th chapter of tie'
,0
sis, we are informed, that Abraham. "bought men with inoil'Tos
and, if you will refer to the last verse of the same chapter, Ltd
will find, that "the men of his house, born in the house, lit
bought with. money of the stranger, were circumcised "1
him ;" and I humbly conceive, that, had bondage or slavery beat
incompatible with. the wisdom and decrees of Providence,-
iu the covenant made with Abraham,. as mentioned in the sa
chapter, we should have found him rebuked or forbidden;
" litrynietr with- money of the stranger," as-setting a pa'urc
example,. but no such prohibition appears in' the sacred
jags. The- party who ate making such efforts for the in-Oct ,et
ate abolition quote exultingly the 22nd verse of the 24th char
of Leviticus, as not to be reconciled with a state of savery.,l
have seen the words quoted with a false refetence, as if the
were afraicLof the reader's recurrence to the passage, as it ,
be found. at the verse has no lati to bondage or s $
very :—" Ye th
shall have one mannerre of law,on as well for the stra:;,
ger as for one of your own country." Now, Sir, this law do
not include the bondman or slave, as is evident from otu,,
parts of the sacred volume. In the 211th chapter of Levitics,.,
20th verAe, we find, that the incontinent "bond-maid" is fa.s
dered to be scourged, and not put to death, "because she :',d,
not free;" and in the 22nd chapter of Deuteronomy, 23rd and '2
verses, an Hebrew woman, for the very sameofience, is orde,4
to be stoned. It is, therefore; evident, that there was ore Is,
for' the bondwoman and another law-for thefree. The Deb° •
are repeatedly cautioned not to keep their brethren in boutlaq,'.
and; in the 15th chapter of Deuteronomy,. 12th verse, it is vg,4
ten, "If thy brother, an Hebrew man or an Hebrew 'ivea'th
be sold unto thee and serve thee six years, then, in the se\ ei'd
year, thou. shalt let him go free from thee." 'I hat this coma' e,
does not apply to, nor include strangers who were in bond'`
f
may be seen from the 44th, 45th, and 40th vet sea of ve,
25th chapter of Leviticus :---"Both thy bondtnert and thvbol:'o
maids which thou' shalt have, shall be. of the heathen that s,,k,
round about you; of them shall ye buy Loralmen and
maids. Moreover, of the chi:then of the strangers that
journ among you, of them shad ye buy, and of their
that arc with you, which they begat in your land : and they s
be your possession. And ye shad takt; them as an inheritu%.
for your. children after you to inherit thorn for a possessit'
they shall be pour bondmeit fur emir."'
*teid
Thus, under the Hebrew theocracy, slavery. was periavo
and allowed to the same extentas it exists in oar colonies at.„,
present time; and that which has been permitted and 0.71,
firmed by an all-wise Providence will continue to exist, n 10; 3
standing the puny efforts of modern philanthropists, uldilo.
shall please the Almighty, in his peat mercy, to recall AI,
dreatifulcurse on the progeny of Canaan, as recorded in the
chapter of Genesis, 2oth-verse.—l am, &c., SHEnj

BRITISH COLONIAL TRADE.

(Fwm.•the New York Journal of Commerce.)

{CONCLUDED FROM FRIDAY'S STANDARD.]

The average of American tonnage departed from the United
States for the lame Colonies per annum in 1828, 1829, and
1830, was 82,600; British, 251, Total, 82,857. In 1831,—
American, 89,851; British, 18,020. Total, 107,871. Increase
of American tonnage in consequence of Mr. M'Lane's
arrangement, 7,251. Do. of aggregate tonnage, 25,014.

This, we conceive, is as correct a view of the effect of Mr.
M'Lane's arrangement upon our trade with the West Indies,
as it is possible to arrive at by means of the official returns.
But as some may suppose that during the interdiction of our
commerce with those colonies, more or less of our products
found their way thither through other channels than the Dan-
ish and Swedish Islands, we will now present a brief view of
the American and British tonnage passing.between the United
States and the entire West Indies ; premising, however, that
we consider the results to be arrived at, no safe criterion in
judging of our trade with the British West Indies. As it
would occupy too much room to enter into details, we shall
only give the footings :

Entered Departed.
American. British. American. British.
1831 291,676 24,381 304,916 13,077
1830 244,764 182 275,445 604
1829 288,378 2,608 811,452 803

We have not the means of ascertaing the results for 1828,
neither is it necessary. It will be seen that so far as any thing
can be inferred from this view of the case, it is favourable to
the new arrangement. But as we said before, it covers too
much ground to prove any thing definitively on the point which
we are considering.

We now pass to another branch of the subject, viz., our
trade with what is called the British American Colonies—mean-
ing New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and other British Colonies
to the north of us. These, _as well as the West Indies, were
included in the late arrangement. Before it took effect, Halifax
and St. John's were free ports, so called, into which our ves-
sels were admitted under certain restrictions. The extent and
bearing of our commercial intercourse with these Colonies,
both before and since the late arrangement, will be seen from
the following statement:—

Entered. Departed.

1831 92672 82,557 79,364 94,776
1830 130,527 4,002 117,171 14,267

1828 59,296 2,186 63,801 10,658

The average annual tonnage entered into the United States
from the British American Colonies during the years 1828, 1829,
and 1830, is—American, 92,772; British, 3,532. Total, 96,304.
In 1831—American, 92,672; British, 82,557. Total 175,229.
Decrease of American tonnage in consequence of Mr. M‘Lane's
arrangement, 1(X) tons ; increase of aggregate tonnage, 78,925.
The average annual tonnage departed, from the United States
for the same Colonies during the years 1828, 1829, and 1830,
is—American, 91,539; British, 111831. Total, 174,140. De-
crease of American tonnage in consequence of the Colonial
trade, 12,175. Increase of aggregate tonnage, 70,770.
So much for the British American Colonies. We shall now
bring the whole matter into a single view, that the reader may
see it at a glance how the matter stands in reference to the Co-
lonial Trade, and how far that trade has been affected by the
arragement of Mr. M`Lane.

Hence it appears that the Aggregate tonnage arriving in our
ports from the British Westladies, and British American Co-
lonies, in 18.31, when Air.'lll`Lane's arrangement was in opera-
tion, was greater by 86,629 tons, than. on an average of-three
preceding years, when it was :not in operation ; and that the
tonnage departed from the United States for the same Islands
and &lollies, was greater by 75,784 tons.

THE CORN TRADE.

Thursday, 22d November, 1832.
Since Thursday there is little alteration in prices of Wheat, which
are barely supported, except for prime qualities. Irish Oats are very
dull, and rather cheaper. In other articles no change. There are
further inquiries for Oats in bond, and none now to be had at lls. per
quarter. The stock of Oats in bond does not exceed 10,000 qrs.
