MRs. STOWE IN ENGLAND.


The London Times Of the 18th has judiceus re-
marks ON the onsm Of Mrs Srows and her attendants,
Messrs. Stowe and Beseher The lady was present st
the annual meeting Of the British and Foreign anti
Slavery Socety-not however upon the platfor but in
one of the side galleries. The meeting WIS addressed
by Mr. Stowe, the Earl Of Shaftesbury, and the Rev
Ward. coored man from Canada. The Times. in COM
menting upon the association says;
We will do all 6ttin0 -

to deal with three millions born and bred in slavery and
in the most intimate serye intermixture with free
peoples still more when it comes to the question how we
another people, rival nation and rejected mother
country TO interfere, must beg to consult those
high political considerations which find little place in
novels and particularly dstasteu to the hearts
of fair writers and readers.
We take the liberty therefore, Of regarding Mrs Stowe
quite distinctly from the meeting Exeter Hall Whit
Monday-qute distinctly from the reverend gentlemen
and professors assembled that occasion-distncty
from the resolutions then adopted, and distinctly
from herself far she has been compelled to commit
herself any definite proposal for the abolition Of slavery
But while write remember that Mrs Stowe
could possibly agree with the very first resolution
carried unanimously If remember right she has
phatically repudiated any such doctrine that the
principle of immediate and unconditional emancipation
is the only that consistent with the rights of the
slave and the duty of the master She does not think
it the right of any body however deserving however mi

the Carolina slave suddenly emancipated does she
think it the duty Of any man, however responsible to
ruin his dependents the saveowners certainly would
do If they gave in to this plan.
Mrs Stowe would prepare the slave for freedom, and
give him meanwhile the benefit of Christian usages and
laws and little is she prepared the whole three
millions emancpated, that when she has got only one of
the three millions and him very superior specimen
from the yoke, and British sel her only resource is

Absolutely nothing.
The Times then comments upon Mr.. Stoves absurd,
because totally mpractcabe scheme, which to be
the burden of his speeches. viz that the people of England
must refuse buy the American staple long
as it is grown by slave labor. The Times says:
Good advice, it is commonly said is the cheapest
rency in the world except bad advice which is cheaper

mpracticabe advice if it any thing at ALL than
what Professor Stowe beraly presented the meeting
at Exeter Hail. The advice is that the people of England
are to free cotton and they to get the cotton
free by the importation of Chinese aborers into the
United States, who will work. the Professor says for Cd
day. In the first place, how to discriminate be-
tween two bales of cotton from New York-which was
picked by Classy and Uncle Tom, and which by China
men
