AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

The first Anniversary of tie Society for the
extinction of the Slave trade, and for the civiza-
ton of Africa" held at Exeter Hall, England.
on the lst June, at which Prince ALnERr presided,
assisted by large number of the nobility. The
meeting was attended by great many foreigners of
talent and distinctions Fhe report Of the proceed
ings of this meeting proves notwithstanding all tho
efforts which have been made for the suppression of
the African slave trade, that instead Of diminishing.
it is on tho increase. new and gigantic scheme
has been suggested for the purpose of accomplish:
ing this great object. 1t is the execution of'ths
suggestion which brought into existence the society,
tie first anniversary of which we are noticing. Tho
plan proposed for putting end to this traffic, is
the civilization Of Africa, by the introduction Of
christianity, and the general diffusion of the arts of
civilized life; and turning the attention of the Chiefs,
for the purpose of satisfying their crpdity, from the
sale of their people, 10 trade and commerce. The
spread of the christian religion in Africa, is an object
which should command the universal appreciation Of
every christian and pllilanthropists =.

PERIODICALS.

TIE LADY's BooK.-The July lumber Of this
beautiful and interesting publication has reached
with its accustomed promptitudc. Its contents are
entirely original, and its literary character ably and
fully sustained. The articles in the present number,
to our mind seem to be characterised by higher and
purcr tone of moral and pious feeling than some of
its predecessors though the work has always been,
in this respect of an elevated character. 1t is
handsomely embellished with beautiful plate of
fashions, containing four figures, and splendid
steel engraving, "Vew of Constantinople."
THE EyERoREEN-We are indebted to the pub
Usher, Mr.. ]. WINCHESTER, New York for the July
number of this neat and cheap publication. Its
contents are highly interesting and the work pro-
mses from the number and talent of its contributors
to be valuable addition to the periodical literature
Of the day. 1t contains Sc pages, and is published
monthly at 50 per annum.

We mentioned short time since, tn tho Secre-
rary of Legation to the Court of Great Britain, had
arrived in the Great Western with dispatches to our
government, which were supposed to be favorable
answer to the last proposition made to Great Britain
on the subject of the Boundary. This supposition,
we are happy to learn has beer justified. The Br-
tish government, it is asserted, has accepted tho
proposition with some slight and unimPortant modi.

that there is to be Convention for the purpose of
exploring and surveying the boundary as defined by
the Treaty of 1888, with an umpire to decide all
questions upon which the Commissioners disagree.

change them for another. Chickens, tur.

From the Globe.
CONVINCED AGAINST HIS WILL.

The following shows the Journal oi
Commerce to be convert to our doctrines
about the credit system. The war which
we waged for years against Mr.. Biddle's
bloa,ed business, consisting of credit and
speculation, was once looked upon by the
commercial organ as a war upon the mer-
camille interest. Now what does he say
of the matter: "Mr. Biddle has caused tho
ruin of more business men than hape been
orerthro,un by all other causes for the last
t,centu ucars." If, then, General jack
son could have arrested this tremendous
ouack" in the administration Of his nos
irums-if the corruption which purchased
a new diploma for him in the PennsylVa-
mia Legislature could have been prevented,
"the destruction of a ,chole race OF n,er-
chants" might have been arrested we
are glad IN see that the organ of the mer.-
chants now speaks nationally. The SEN
sible men of the class it represents, now
know that " financiering" meant cheating;
that "credit SYSTEM meant system with.
out capital; that "doing great business
meant "doing nothing" but specializing;
aud that universal prosperity meant that
every man had the efligy of wealth in pos
session in borrowed paper money, and
the fictitious prices it imparts to property;
"THE UNITED STATES BANK,-This
institution seems to be making some de-
cisive movements, corresponding with its
preseu. condition. Mr.. Copper.hwaite,
the cashier, has resigned; the president
has relinguished $4,000 Of his salary, and
the number of officers and clerks is to be
reduced one.half. This looks like aban..
donjng the expansion policy, and gives us
reason 10 hope. that whatever the condi.
ton of the Bank may be, the best will
now be made Of it. What is TO become
of The ten thousand dollar salaries paid
for the management of our two hundred
dollar branch!
eve hope our financiers will see the
end of the Biddle policy, its utter un-
soundness and folly. Endless expansion
is not the way to pay debts, neither do
high salaries and great display OF esta-
blishment constitute safe basis Of credit.
The old fashioned notion of keeping your
expenses within your income, is worth
more than all the new schemes of splen-
did finaucering. A! one time MIR. Bid
dies false principles of finance raised him
high in popular favor. His doctrines pro-
claimed peace to daring spectators, and
temporary ease to all. But the end has
been the overthrow OF our institutions,
and the destruction of almost whole race
of merchants. We have no doubt that,
take it all in all, Mr.. Biddle has caused
the ruin of more business men in this
country, than have been overthrown by
all other causes united for the last twenty
years. Yet, such was the trust reposed
in his skill, that men seemed rather to pre-
fer TO be killed by him than saved by the
old principles cf financial practice. He
was tremendous quack. But truth out
lives opinion. Mr.. Biddle's glory has de-
parted, and the world is rapidly coming
to estimate both his head and heart cor
rcc,ly."-Journal Of Commerce.

The following confirmation Of Mr..
Espy's theory of producing artificial rain
occurred last fall near Smethport, M'kean
co., Pa. 1t is reported by the editor of
the Smethport Tiler. The weather had
been dry for several weeks, when Mr..
John Holmes, set fire to seven acres Of
very heavy fallow land, Just back of The
town. The heat and smoke arising from
it was tremendous, and the same night
storm of rain fell at Smethport and the
vicinity. The weather was then clear
for day or two until Mr.. II. had logged
up his fallow lands and fired his logheaps,
when the rain began again and continued
for several days; only clearing up when
the fuel was all consumed.
