THE DUTY OF ENGLAND.

During the past year we have had occasion
to question the depth and sincerity of the anti
slavery feeling imputed to the English nation as
whole. There has been nothing really to test
that feeling tor some thirty years, and with the
body of the English people it had become rather
tradition from past generation than living
power in the present. A feeling that vented
itself in bitter and indiscriminate denuncia-
ton of Americans, or in fashy defamation
about raising paltry Peters pence for one of
the thousand churches in this land that are op-
posing slavery, while at the same time the Cot
ton lords of Manchester, the financial support
ers of slavery, went unreproved, and the slave
traders of Spain, the open violators of treaty,
went unpunished, we feared would be equal
to the contest when the commercial and inan-
cial struggle with slavery should be transferred
to the soil of England. That this fear was
well-grounded, is evident from the fact that the
increase of our tariff upon certain British goods
has checked the sympathy Of almost the entire
British press for the North in its struggle
against slavery. Had not war broken out in
this country, in all probability the mercantile
and manufacturing interest Of England would
have demanded recognition of the slavehold-
ing Confederacy, and special commercial trea-
ties for the product of slave labor. The satire
of Punch is bitterly true:
"Though with the North we sympathze,
1t must not be forgotten.
That With the South we've stronger ties,
Which are composed of cotton,
WhereJf our imports mount unto
sum OF many figures;
And where would be our calico
Without the toll of niggers?
"The South enslaves those fellow men,
Whom we love all so dearly;
The North keeps commerce bound again,
Which touches us more nearly.
Thus divided duty
Perceive in this hard matter,
Free trade, or sable brothers free p?
Oh! won't we choose the latter!
The English nation needed to be aroused and
tested anew upon the subject of slavery. We
cannot doubt that the news of war will stir them
to the very depths. The anti-slayery spirit will
rally: the clamors of trade will be silenced ;
the heart of the English people will be aroused
to protest against any connivance by the Gov
ernment or the commercial marine of England
with the arms of the Secessionists
We do not ask material aid of the English
nation. But we hsve right to look for their
moral aid. We have a right to insist that they
shall respect without murmuring our blockade
of the Southern ports; that they shall not fur
nish arms to rebels against Government with
which they are in treaty; that they shall even
Join their fleet with ours in keeping the Gulf OF
Mexico and the ad AGENT waters free of the
pirates threatening to infest it under the Con-
federate flag. We have strong faith that the
public sentiment of England will be aroused TO
the magnitude and grandeur of this war for
Constitutional liberty.-N. Y. Independent.

a few nights since the store Of J. A Colby,
No. u8 Randolph street, was entered, and his
stock Of gift jewelry piltered extensively, 5000
worth being carried of, Superintendent
Bradley set himself and his force at work to
ferret out the burglars, and succeeded SO well
as to take into custody on Saturday five boys,
Of the ages CT from twelve to fifteen, who are
chiefly newsboys, though as Is feared Of 9th
ers ct this class, they make their largest prof
its in some ot1sr Wey, less opel and more un-
scrupuious.
They were found to have buried the proper
ty On the West Side, and from this their cache
On Saturd ay afternoon was taken out hatfalI
Of watches and various articles of jewelry,
mostly Of the cheap gift order, but some OF
the pieces being quite valuable.
A tine gold watch Was found in the posses
sion of u Eister Of ono Of the boys, who said
she found it on Kinzie street bridge, but later
confessed that her brother gave it to ner, and
It is part ct the Colby stock.
Tic boys will be examined IN Monday morn
ire's Police Court. There are five Of them in
custody, and two will be added before that
time.

the sums thus paid were all stolen from the
Ugited States.
