 The Worlds [Antsaveryl Convention was in session at London. Joshua Leavitt, Lewis Tappan, and others, were present from the United States. The American delegates were very denunciatory of their country, and told large stories respecting the horrors of slavery in the southern states The following statement which needs confirmation, waa made by MT.

 Among others he mentioned the case of a fae. in Coving'on, Louisiana. They fell in with some of the U.

 Very Entertaining. New-IIaven Register and Palladium have devoted no inconsiderable DOT ton of their columns for the last monh to discus. sion of the question whether the President of the United States, whom nobody respects as a man, was entitled to any special attention from the people dur. ing his late tour, out of respect to the ofice" We have not read enough to know which of the two pa. pers have best argued this question; but we have no hesitation in saying that the Register is in the right. For we read that St. Peter declared in his day, when Nero was on the throne, that it was the duty of all Christians to "honor the King" Equally respectful, we think, Christian people at this day should be to those in high authority, however little respect may be felt for them men. It was for his office, and not for any private or public virtues that Peter would 'honcr Nero, who was an infamous character.
