The AbOlitiOnists I'm Boston and the
Colonization Society.
BosToN, May 80.
George Thompson, the English abolitionist,
made speech to the Anti-Slavery Convention
yesterday afternoon in Boylston Hall, about
three hundred people being present. The sub
ect was, the /" American Colonization Society,""
which Mr.. L. denounced as the spawn Of two
abominations-the church and the devil. Gar
rison and the Rev. Mr.. May also denounced the
Colonization movement. The meetings of the
Abolitonists have attracted very little attention
here, and their audiences are chiefly composed
of country people.

Presbyterian General Conference.
ST, LOUIS, May 20.
In the Presbyterian General Assembly to-day
letter was read from the General Assembly Of
Ireland expressing qualification at the success
of the Presbyterians in America, but regretting
there were so many persons connected with the
church in America who were engaged in sus-
tanning the institution Of slavery. The COM
munication was referred to committee, who
were requested to answer it in the proper spirit,
and also to state that the communication was
received too late to enable the Assembly to vote
upon the answer. The financial and other re-
ports were then submitted, and the Board of
Educational Directors elected. The subject Of
cheap religious newspapers was referred to the
next Assembly Overtures from Philadelphia
relative to the Rev. Mr.. Blackmoor were APP
proved. Reliable information was received that
the Rev. Mr.. Geary and family had not been
murdered, and the resolutions on the subject
previously passed, were stricken out. The con-
vention then adjourned to meet in Charleston,
5. G., on the third Thursday in May, 1852.

WORK kr HoME.-In the work on the Lon.
don poor, by Henry Mayhem, there is an
account of a class Of street vagabonds who
number at least fifty thousand souls whose
demoralized condition is worse than that of
! any savages. This class is called the Coos.
:srmonsars," and it is positively appalling to
contemplate the vast amount of vice, ignor-
ancs and wan, existing among it. ohly one
tenth-at the outside, one-.esih-nf the cou-
pies living together and carrying on the cos.
ter mongering tiade, are married. Much oil
their time is devoted TO the beer shop, TO To-"
theatres aud dance houses, where every en-
teriainment is of the grossest and most
corrup,ing description, and TO gambling, of
which the coster is immoderatelY fond, dog
fighting, rat killing, pigeon shooting and
fighting MIR. Mayhem says that the costers
have no religion at all, and but little idea of
a future state. With such a picture as this
before them, and such a wide field for the
exercise of philanthropy, it is surprising that
English philanthropists cannot find sufficient
work at home, without coming TO this coun-
try to agitate subjects which they do not
comprehend in all its relations, and the agi-
tation of which threatens such mischief to
this Union.
