AMERICAN SLAVERY N EEeLANp.-The
address Of "the Ladies of England" con-
vened BY the Duchess Of Sutherland, forthe
purpose OF addressing a memorial to the la
dies of the United States, calling on them to
use their influence for the abolition Of negro
slavery-acknowledges the share Britain
had in the introduction Of slavery into her
colonies, deplores the Introduction of feligi-
Gus instruction to the slaves, and suggests, as
the means Of nbolishing the institution, that
the ladies Of America, cas- sisters, as wives,
and as mothers, raise tl.eir voices to their
fellow citizens, and their prayers to God,
for the removal Of this affection from the
christian world"
1t t%ranspired, however, that a subscription
is to be collected as an auxiliary to thls end.
It may be interesting to know that among
the ladies' present, or who signifed their
concurrence with the meeting, were the
Duchesses Bedford, Argylli Dowager OF
Beaufort; Countesses Of Derby, Carlisle
Shaftesbury; V~iscountesses Palmerston Mel
bourne; Mesdames Charles Dickens, ALFRED
Tennyson, Mary Hewitt, Mucauley, Row
land Hill, with others of lesser position. Al
Office is opened at No. 10 Clifford street
London, and the whole machinery of thu
movement set in operation.
The disinterested b~enevolence Of our Eng
lish sisters will no doubt be highly aPPre
ciated; but it would look much better i
they would first turn their attention to right
ing the wrongs Of their own people and dis
pose of their spare change in alleviating thu
sufFerings of Ireland and their own Work
shops. II would produce a far better resul
and at the same time be more in accordanc,
with the scriptural injunction.

the deaths by cholera previous to Nov. 10th,
had been as high as 1856 some days. The

very fatal in the interior, planters having
lost from 30 to 80 slaves. At the last ac-
counts the sickness was abating, but the
weather was sultry and amp, and there had

of aLocofoco paper in Ironton has awaken

friends of the Register, heretofore published
as a neutral paper, and they now run up their

"We have neither time nor inclination to
make any extended remurks--we will mere

grain for us to edit a neutral paper, and that
we most heartily embrace the present fit OPP
%portunity to make a change that's perfectly
in accordance with our feelings. Right glad.

APPLEs TO CALIFoREIA.-Large quantities
ofthis fruit are being put up at the East for
shipment to cur Pacific brethren, in the
land Of blood, poverty and gold. They are
packed in q manner entirely different from
the usual mode Of sending apples, and one
which we should think might prove efEectu-
al in preserving them from rot. Each APP
pie is wrapt in paper and then placed in the
barrel in layers. Between every two lay.
ers ofapples is a layer Of powdered charcoal,
The apples are thus prevented from coming
in contact with each other, and from the
anii-putrescent qualities Of the charcoal, the
rot. even should it attack a part of the fruit
will be prevented from communicating tC
the remainder. - ClerelGnd Herald.

Mr. GREENoUGH, THE ARTisT.-A Bos-

confirms the rumor that EToratio Grecnough.
the eminent artist, is insane, and adds:
Gle began a course of lectures on Art
and Social Life, a fortnight ago, but deliv-
cred only two of them. The second one
was strange and unintelligiblc to the hear
ers. As he has once before been slightly
affected in the same way, it is to be hoped
that he will recover. Having lived abroad
so long, the change of social life. and our
sharp thin atmosphere, have no doubt, had
an influence upon his mind and body, which
has led to his present melancholy condition.
Friends observed a change in him all las,
summer, at Newport, but laid it to his not
being able to accommodate himself to our
way Of life aud living"
