HOOTON COURSING MEETING.-

The sport came off on Tuesday last, upon the dOirtri
of Sir W. M. Stanley, Bart., who, with several eef;off
gentlemen and admirers of this popular diver:4on, wAsa.
the ground. The day was fine. Stewards: Charles ;tbe
ley, Esq., and N. Blundell, Esq. Mr. M`George w 5
judge. The decisions were as follow : •

It is to be wished that the advocates of the immediate
and unconditional equalization of the duties on the sugar
of our own colonies, and of Brazil and Cuba, would emu-
late the frankness of the Rover ; that, if they are bent
upon having free scope given to the slave-trader, they
would hoist the black flag at once, and let us know with
whom we have to deal.
We invite them to a frank explanation of their views
—not on the necessity of restoring the balance of labour
and capital in the West Indies—not on the question whe-
ther we are morally bound to regulate our dealings with
foreign nations, with reference to their being slave-hold-
ing or non-slave-holding countries ; but to the question
whether or not Great Britain is to persevere in her
efforts to put an end to the slave-trade?
For the best part of half a century has Great Britain,
by her diplomacy and by her arms, been endeavouring to
put down the slave trade. An immense number of valua-
ble lives have been lost, the national treasure has been
lavishly expended, treaties have been contracted which
expose us daily to delicate and dangerous collisions—all
'o put down the slave-trade. Are we to stop now, and
declare that all this has been done for no end ? Are the
people to have been burthened with taxes (£500,000 is
admitted to have been expended last year for the sup-
pression of the slave-trade ; and this is only part of the
actual expense) ; the domestic hearths of Britain to have
been weeded of their best and bravest; and is the great
aim for which all these sacrifices have been made to be
relinquished, in order that the profits of the traders to
Cuba and Brazil may be increased ?
It is easy to show that the perpetuation of the slave-
trade must be the inevitable consequence of the imme-
diate and unconditional equalisation of the sugar duties.
The slave-trade cannot be put down by the methods hi-
therto adopted alone, though without them it cannot be
put down. The civilization of Africa by immigration—
by bringing out the African into European society—must
go hand in hand with coercion, but coercion must be per-
severed in. At present we have scared the slavers—
subjected them to difficulties and dangers, rendered their
brigandage more precarious—but we have neither dimi-
nished the number of persons nor the amount of capital
sy„,,O.
engaged in carrying it on. Communications made to us
