Of Monday last, the following ex-

nounced in London that the ami
versary of the completion of the
sixtieth year of the reign of Queen
Victoria will be marked by the
liberation of all the slaves in the
British possessions in Africa.
In all Africa the most trust
worthy statistics show that there
are so, O0O, 900 slaves. In the Brit
ish possessions there are at least
20, OOO, 900 slaves, or more than one
quarter of the total population of
the United States. 1t has been es-
timated that the keeping alive of
the slave trade costs the lives of
500, 900 natives annually.
1t can be seen from this that it
will be no empty task to carry out
the wishes of the Queen, and wipe
out slavery"

who is a native of Philadelphia, She
had the incxpressible satisfaction OF see

her religion into practice in her dai'y
