directed the colonial government Of New York
to take care "that the Almighty should be de-
voutly and duly served, according to the rites
Of the Church Of England, and also that the
Royal African Company should be encouraged,
and that the colony should have constant
and sufficient supply Of merehantable negroes at
moderate rates"
Within the last four hundred years, more than
ten millions of Africans have been carried from
their native country into bondage, by the people
of Europe-two hundred millions of lives have
been sacrificed in this period, to glut the
Christian markets Of the civilized world! Was
it a moral or religious sentiment then, 10 these
same slave traders, that abolished villanage
among the natives of their own countries
Morality and religion have no such respect of
persons. We must look elsewhere for the phi
losophy Of the change we are considering; and
We must rely upon other influences for our hope
in the future. Let US look the question fairly
in the face. Humanity, religion, christianity
especially forbid the enslavement of men but
neither humanity, religion, nor Christianity
have ever anywhere abolished the system. Nor
of themselves, by their proper force, as pure
sentiments and impulses are they likely to ac-
complish it in the future.
In my next number will endeavor to show
how Gods providence succeeds in the work
which the gospel Of his grace fails through
human resistance, to accomplish.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

The steamship Daniel Webster arrived at
New Orleans May 9, from San Juan. She
brought San Francisco dates to 10Th Of April.
The S. S. Lewis went ashore north of Bonos
Bay, at three O'Clock in the morning, and it
being found impossible to get her off, all the
passengers (4O0 in number,) were safely land
ed, together with nearly all the baggage but
the vessel, considerable quantity of specie,
and the ships stores, would prove total loss
The loss was estimated at 5000, 900, on which
it is thought there was no insurance.
The steamer Jenny Lind exploded as she was
going from Alviso to San Francisco having
1870 passengers on board, mostly from San Jose
Fifty or sixty persons were terribly scalded, Of
whom 90 were dead, including seven children
and one whole family-Noah Ripley, his wife
and three children.
The survivors and the remains of the unfort-
innate victims were taken on to San Francisco
by the steamer Union.
The mining intelligence is of favorable
character
The Senate had rejected the bill for the ex-
tension of the city front of San Francisco, pre-
viously passed by the House.
The act extending the provisions of the Fu-
gitve Slave Law for another year, also an act
for the incorporation Of railroad companies,
had passed the Legislature
The San Francisco markets were quiet, and
prices show decline on some articles.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

The steamer Hermann arrived at New York
on Wednesday, and the Cambria at Halifax
The following is summary of the news they
bring:
Mrs. Beecher Stowe was at Edinburgh, hav.
ing been to Aberdeen and Dundee, where she
was received with the usual enthusiasm The
Canadian Clergy Reserves bill had passed in
the House of Lords by a majority of forty, in
spite of the strenuous opposition of Lord Derby
and the Tories. Lord Clarendon has declared
in the Lords that there was no reason to fear
any attempt against Turkey either from the
Russian emperor or elsewhere. In the Com
mons the budget has once been debated with
out any result.
The Government has beaten Tory motion
to modify its scheme for the conversion of the
national debt. The investigation in the rocket
affair with which Kossuth's name has been
connected, has disclosed nothing trustworthy
to mplicate him. Mr.. Hale, the manufactur.
er, refuses, however, to state for whom the
rockets were intended Kossuth has again de-
MED all connection with the matter in letter
to Lord Dudley Stuart which has been read in
the House Of Commons. In France there is
absolutely nothing worth mentioning. The
Spanish ministry has issued programme, full
Of vague generalities, promising much and
meaning nothing. The Ant-Republican and
Jesuitical party in Switzerland have attempted
an insurrection at Friburg, which was put
down easily, though with some bloodshed The
leader, Col. Perrier, has been tried by court
martial, and sentenced to thirty years. imprs-
Onment. In Holland new election is to take
place. The cholera has appeared at Moscow.
The Turkish question is quiescent In China,
however, We hear of a quite startling event,
namely, the capture of the city of Nankin by
the rebels, and the probable downfall of the
Tartar dynasty, which has ruled the country
for two hundred years. 1t is said that only
European Intervention can save the brother of
the sun and moon from being pulled down
from that lofty relationship. Such aid we pre-
sumo he will not receive, and therefore his
downfall may be expected.

LATER FROM MEXICO.

New ORLEANS, May l2-The steamer to-
day from Vera Cruz brings General Uraga as
passenger. He is going as Minister to Prussia.
We have also full particulars of the inaugu-
ration OF Santa Anna as President of Mexico,
and the formation of a new Cabinet He made
an address, in which he announced his inten-
ton to use his best endeavors to cultivate and
maintain peace at home and with all foreign
nations. The address throughout is character
istic Of its author, and is said to have given
general satisfaction. The new Ministry il
composed as follows: Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs, Alaman; Minister of Justice Lares :;
Secretary of the Treasury, Tamansi
General Almonte has been appointed Min
lister of Mexico to the United States.
The Sloo Tehuantepeo contract has been
confirmed by the Government, and the treaty
in regard to the neutrality of Tehuantepec also
ratified.

an upright woman. Mrs. Stowe is not men
dicant; but is receiving contributions for the
education and elevation of the colored race in

BREAKING UP NEGRO ScHooL-The Off
GERS at Norfolk made descent on Tuesday
upon negro school kept in the neighborhood
of the Stone Bridge, by Mrs. Douglas and
her daughter, and the teachers, together with
their sable pupils, were taken before his Honor
They acknowledged their guilt, but pleaded
Ignorance of the law, and were discharged on
promise to do SO no more-s very convenient
way OF getting out of scrape. The law of
this State imposes fine of one hundred dol
lars and Imprisonment for six months for such
otfences-is positive, and allows no discretion
in the committing magistrate"
Education is an offence in Virginia, under q
penalty of "one hundred dollars and imprison-
msnt for six months" and allows no discre-
ton in the committing magistrate" We be-
lieve there are few Virginians but who will
agree with us that this law was not fit to be
made. Virginia has recently passed an act
to effect the removal Of the free people of
color from within her borders to the coast of
Africa, the expense to be paid by tax on the
free colored people themselves. Much good,
it is expected, will result from this measure /;
but if good will follow by sending an unedu-
Gated people among barbarous race, would
not more good result by educating the negroes
before they are sent to Africa?
The advocates of Colonization, or at least
those connected with the Colonization Society,
profess to believe that Africa is to be redeemed
from barbarism and heathenism by the emf
ration of the negro race from this country,
and that Christianity and enlightenment will
attend the path of the emigrants. If this OBJ
ject is to be attained, it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to adapt the means to the end,
and take measures to educate the negroes be-
fore they are expatriated, lest, when they
reach Africa, the tide of barbarism oyerwhelm
them, and destroy whatever influence for good
they might if educated, exert Even were it
otherwise, the policy of Virginia, in resisting
education, seems to us to be short-sghted and
despotic.
