The weather was very black and squally, and
the sea tremendously high. Shortly after day
break they found ten feet water in and the YES
sci apparently going down. The conformation
Of the crowded decks at this period may be i'm
agined, but not be described.
All the boats, five in number, were then made
ready and launched, but two Of them were stove
on touching the water, leaving only q small
boat, and one long AMI one life boat. These
were manned by the captain, his mates and the
crew, together with as many passengers as could
be crowded into them. IHr remdiadtr Of The

2 TIE New SLAVE TRADE OF GREAT BRITArN.--
1 While Mrs Stowe in Great Britain is receiving
# ovations and penny subscriptions designed to
: mark the condemnation Of Great Britain for
4 American Slavery, and it's reverence for Slave
RVS great illustrator, we learn from the Libe-
= ria papers of the ID Of March, some news with
reference to Great Britain and Slavery which
q would not harmonic very well if appended to
y the congratulatory address to Mrs Stowe. The
\ nature of the intelligence to which we refer may
:, be gathered from the following proclamation of
the President Of the Liberian Republic;
- Proclamation. - Whereas, Messrs. HYDE
Y Hodge X Co., Of London, contractors with her
= Britannia Majesty's Government to furnish Ia
u borers from the African coast for the West In
% dies have sent some of their ships to the coast
!, Of the republic, offering advance of ten dol
7 lars for every person who may be induced to
,r emigrate; and whereas, the extinction OF the
e slave trade has left large numbers of predal
and other laborers in the possession OF the chiefs
ne and principal men of the country. While the
70 offer of the ten dollars each is nearly equivalent
es to the amount formerly paid for slaves during
re the prevalence Of the slave trade, and which
h. operated mainly in producing and sustaining
no and whereas, certain refractory chiefs are re-
O. ported to have engaged with the agents of said
TO Company TO furnish a number OF laborers, ano

nc | ernment that persons are held to be sent Of
tes without their voluntary consent or the consen
nd of their natural guardians therefore, to preyen
ms the abuses and evils which might otherwise re
rs suit from the enterprise:
fita Be it known by this proclamation, to a.
whom it may concern, that the law regulatin
rs passports must be strictly observed-that ve
,ic sells carrying or intending to carry away EN-
jly grants must come to this port with their en-
dy grants on board, to obtain passports, in orde

ces The meaning to be derived from the ahov
lv. document is simply that Great Britain is en-
gu gagged in new kind of slave trade; the me-
to feature being. that the flesh and blood whic
of she buys for the West Indies, she calls EN-
be grants and apprentices instead of the old an
ain legitimate term of slaves. New York Journ;
