      Anti-Slavery Meeting. Y A Meeting Conven...

      ANTI-SLAVERY _MEETiNG . y A meeting convened by the Council of the Anti-Slavery League for the purpose of reviewing the proceedings ot the Evangelical Alliance witlr regard to slavery in the United States , was held on Monday evening at Eteterhall , every part of which was densely crowded , several ladies occupy ing seats upon tho platform . In the iinmediate vicinity ofthe chair we observed William and Mary nowitt , Mr . George Thompson , _^ Frederick Douglas ( the emancipated slave ) , Mr . _Gcor'fc ; Sturge , Dr . 1 _«" W >» Price , Mr . J . R . Dailey _, of tbe United States , Mr . George _Pilkington , & C . Ac . . On the motion of Mr . It / Smith , thc Secretary to the Anti-Slavery League , seconded by Mr . "William Shaen , the Rev . John Burnett was called to the chair .

      The Chairman commenced his address to the meeting by observing that the position he had been called upon to occupy was to him an unusual one . The occasion on which they had assembled was one of great importance to the friends of freedom throughout tho world . ( Hear , hear . ) They had bad meetings in that hall recently , in which me n had avowedly _asscmkkd with the feeling of brethren , and in the union of brotherhood . But it had occurred to some that the same feelings of brotherhood ahould be extended to a race of men long subjected to a very different influence . To many , too , it had occurred that the opportunity was lost , but it was manifested in a manner whieb showed that , the parties- concerned were not unaware of the importance of considering kindness and charity as belonging to free men . The question of party was not overlooked , but , on the contrary , had been

      freely discuseed . A resolution was moved in the assembly of the body to which he referred , " Thatall might be brethren in Christ , and treated as such by the Evaiiirelieal Alliance , who either held slaves agaiiiBt their will , or who held them for their own interests . " That resolution at last waB withdrawn , and very properly rescinded by tha Alliance , and tho whole question thereby left in abeyance . Now , if the American brethren should return to their own country and give it to understand thatin England slavery was a ' question she was content to hold in abeyance , he was sure the meeting would concur with him in saying tbey would deeply wrong the gc nerosity of the Eng lish nation . ( Hear , hear . ) Tliey bad

      assembled that evening to tell them that the judgment ofthe Alliance was not the judgment of the people of England ; but that it was the judgment of a comparatively Small number , though gathered from different parts of the three kingdoms , a » well as from America and from tbe continent . That selection of individuals , however free from reproach they might otherwise be , had given a judgment calculated to lead the Americans to believe that this important question remained in abeyance and they should take care that it should not go forth a ' _s th » decision of England or of Europe . That rime night th" ) would learn the sentiments of Americans on the subject , and that the decision ofthe Alliance was

      not even their decision . Mr . Tuomas _Lioid Gaeiusok then came forward , and said he could sincerely declare that he felt deeply embarrassed on the present _occasion , not because lib did not stand there in a good cause—not because he had so little to say—but because of the magnitude of thc subject which had brought them together , and because he found it in his heart to say much ; yet knowing that he must not _tmpiISS in their time , as there were other speakers whom they would be more anxious to hear . If his hart ever desired bonds with them , and strength to meet a

      solemn emergency , it was on-that occasion . He remembered that tliose who advocated and were the representatives Of tbree millions of American people , held in the galling chains of slarery were with them . He wished to feel with them , and he _remembered that their eyes were upon him . Oh , that they were there , indeed , that they might see them in all their _wretchedness and all their suffering , that their hearts might be moved as that of one man , and that they might be made to behold what slavery was ! He felt unable to cope « ith that trememloui _subject , for he had

      neither" Wit , nor words , nor worth , Action nor utterance , nor the power of speech To stir men ' s souls . " The most he could do was to sp ? _nk right on , " of things whioh they themselves did know . " As for the question itself , he was sure every one would hold it to be of the deepest importance , and one which in due season would attract the attention of all Christendom . They had not assembled for a tectariau purpose , or to indulge any _fct-1 ing of dislike for a body , because , perhaps , they had been shut out from it in . consequence of thecreed laid down for the regulation of itB members . They were to regard its proceedings witliout reference to its faith ; for they knew that no sect or party bad teen allowed to pnss by nn sjathed by bim , which had shown itself inclined to the persecution of the Anti-slavery cause in the United States on

      account of its peculiar tenets . On that account he had given up all sect and party , and at anj- time he _w-iuld be ready to exercise the freedom of denunciation which ii _conferred upo _* i him . The object of their meeting was to concede to the Evangelical Alliance all that it could claim as a religious body ; and they would not judge of it by their own standard if that should happen to beja diffeVtnt one . Thoy would then easily *> e able to _determine-, whether that body deserved thc approbation of the religious » orld , or whether it had not been false to all its religious professions , and henceforth to be regarded with condemnation and execration throughout the world . [ f _tlltt Evangelical _Alli-lIlCC had _buen constituted for ii particular purpose , and that purpose were other than the nholitiun of slavery , then no man could have complained of its not having taken up the question of slavery . Bui

      he _iievcrthelens thought , that whatever might be their religious opinions , they had some reason to complain of that body , that it was in some rcopw s a prescriptive body . No man at the present day would b .- anxious to bt ! considered an enemy to Christianity , for it was fashionable in this age , as well as popular , to be a follower of Christ in words at least , if notin deeds . The Evangelical Alliance , in the line of conduct it had pursued , and in _actual opposition to thoir manifest principle , had shown itself a thoroughly anti-Christian body , unqualified to do a work which God had never given it to perform , whoever else might be the chosen Instruments in his hands , of engaging in the the great work of ( be regeneration ofthe world . ( This declaration was received by simultaneous hisses from nil parts of the chamber , and the cheering which was afterwards mixed up with it , occasioned a scene o !

      indescribable confusion , which only the prompt inter ference of the Itev . Chairman put a st _jp _> o . ) Mr . Garrison resumed his address , by observing that he had spoken o ! particular denominationsapitrt from their _Christian principles . It was manifest beyond a doubt that the pretenions of the Evangelical Al . iancc amounted to nothing short of its being a body _inspired by thc Holy Ghos ; . Notwithstanding its absurd claim to dhii-. e inspiration , it hnd overlooked the social _aiiJ _religious condition of three millions of their suffering fellow creatures . A resolution was proposed by tho Itev . J . II . Hilton to the ffect that slaveholders should not be admitted iuto thc Conference . It was a noble motion , introduced in the gloi'iOUS spirit of Him who cam > to throw open the prison doors and set the captives fre .: ; but it was rejected by

      those who deserved tho scorn and execration of men and angels . The happiness of three millions of human beimrs was concerned whose lot was most horrible , and although one should suppose it did not require half a moment ' s consideration , yet itwas referred to the _cimsidt ration of a Select Committee . They did not under _, stand what slavery was , or how slaves were treated . So the Special Committee met , and it was deemed essential that solemn prayers should be offered up for them , and fiat the Holy Spirit be invoked to bless their future progross . ( Ironical cheers . ) He ( Mr , Garrison ) maintained that all those prayers and proceedings were a mockery before God . ( Cheers , hisses , and some confusion , in the midst of whicli several persons on the platform and in the body of the building withdrew . )

      The Chairman having called for and obtained silence , promising that whoever chose to rep l y should be heard . Mr . Garrison continued—He beli _.-ved that if the Committee acted rightly they had no occasion whatever for seeking direction from God , and that they had no just cause for delay , unless they meant in some way or other to wrap up the question . ( Loud cries of "hear , hear . " ) The American delegates wh 6 attended at tllG El'ttlUJClit'llI Alliance , held , or at bast - professed to hold , that all men in thc eyes of God were equal , and yet they , as well as the other members of the Alliance , sat day after day , _linil WCek lifter week , and no light from heaven came xipon them ; God did not reveal his will witla regard to slavery . He ( Mr . GarrisoH ) had no hesitation in saying that such conduct was downrig ht blasphemy . ( Cheers . ) _TheCi-iuuiittee at last made a special report ; that report

      denounced intemperance and a . profanation of the Lord ' s day , duelling , shivery , and other things . Now , be could hardly conceal his indignation wheu he remembered that Luther and Calvin , Fox , and others of the most celebrated reformers , had declared the Sabbath day a Jewish institution , and that even now a large portion of Christians believed that one day was not better than another . He was , he repeated , indignant to find that such men were in their eyes no better than drunkards ; and that , with respect to slavery itself , they held , that except where slaveholders were so of thoir own will , they should be admitted into Alliance . That report was again recommitted , and at last they I _' _t-solvod that nothing _conntsoted with slavery should appear on their proceedings in any shape whatever . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Garrison ) stood in that assembly to take the mask off those

      men , and to pronounce them to be nothing less than Wolves in sheep's clothing . ( Cheers . ) He had shewn that tliat Alliance _professod * to be animated by the spirit of God ; he judged it by ita own standard , not bis ; and if the evidence he had adduced proved ic had acted an un christian part , tho fault was not his but theirs . If men who had any regard for the Bible , and believed it was inspired by Gad , could _slwu- liim in its pages a line which authorised one man to hold property iu anotherif they eould prove to him that any pass . ige in it made slavery lawful , he should put it into the lire . ( Loud cheers . ) And if any one eould shew that God allowed one creature to make a _bvast and a . slave of another , all he should say was . that tlieir God 6 _* * ould tie Ins level , ( Cheers , and some hisses . ) The lion . Gentleman , after referring again to the result of the cout ' erence with _respect to slavery iu America , sat down amid loud eheers .

      The Chairman then called on any gentleman whochose to address the meeting in reply to Mr . Garrison to come on the platform , on which an old and respectable : gentleman availed himself of the invitation , and was aniiounceii as The Rev . Jons PaESTos—lle said he was a Baptist minister of a congregation in Euston-square ; a m ember of the Evangelical Alliance , as it was termed ; he attended its sittings during nineteen sessions , and _impe-

      rially during the aggregate mee ' tingof _theJComtnittee at Exeter Hall , for two days _. on the subject of . slavery , and had , therefore , he presumed , _somstright to . be heard . ( Hear . ) _Helceytelnly came to tbe meeting- _expecting to hear the "Evangelical Alliance" condemned for its conduct with regard to slavery , but he ? did not expect to hear Christianity in general undermined —( cheers and bUses)—or prayer to God ridiculed . The results which followed at the Conference respecting _aaan en _tirely owing to . the delegates f rom America , who attended them . The whole of the British members were decidedly opposed to it , and on Saturday evening , during the _conferenee , when a report was brought in by the Committee excluding from the Alliance slaveholders , there was a general dissatisfaction among the American delegates , because such a topic was introduced at all ; and among the British , that it did not go far enough . The report was referred back again , and the words omitted , because 81 the Ameri cans would have it . A Voice . — You let them have it .

      The Rev . Mr . P beston . —Let them have it ; he was sorry to say , and to be obliged to say it , that the Conference or the Alliance , _wereoverpowered _. butne was proud to acknowledge that the members , connected with the British Islands wereaH totally averse to slavery . Mr Geoboe Thom son then presented himself , and was _received with loud cheers . They were assembled to see what the standard was which a nation set up oh thc _question . of slavery ; to comment upon the short comings and proceedings ofthe Evangel ical Alliance , and to _pledge themselves that no body of men shall lower that standard , or damage the cause of bleeding humanity . They never raised their voice against slavery , but received slave-holders Into full communion . Even their publications in this country now denounce the abolitionists . He would then ask his Baptist brother who it was that

      undermined Christianity ! Did they require Divine illumination on the question of slavery 1 Natural justice and Christianity rejected slavery as accursed—as the unclean _thi-g that would contaminate the ark . Mr . Hi » - ton , in the _EvangelicaVAlliance , moved that thc words " exept slave-holders , " should be added to their confession of faith , but that whs rejected . The Alliance compromised the anti-slavery principle by rejecting that amendment . The Rev . Gentleman who spoke last said that they were led by the American members , In fact , the Alliance was lead by them liko asses . The Baptists had the honour , that thc mover of that amendment was of their body : He then went on to animadvert on the conduct of the Presbyterian body , when he wns interrupted by a gentleman who denied tbat fh » y bad favoured slavery . He ( Mr . Thompson ) , had heard _Doctor

      Cunlngham and Dr . Candhshin the general _Assembl y _' state Christ and his Apostles had received _slavc-hoidrrs t _' othe right of communion , and he had placarded those dccla . rations through the streets of Edinburgh . There « ere three fugitive slaves on the platform . He wished the hall was filled with them . The Alliance held it was not a crime to he a slave-holder , when it was not of his own fault . "Would that meeting sanction the principle tbat God placed any man in the position tbat he could not avoid committing Crime ! They adopted tbat resolution . The question was—would they admit slave-holders 1 By that resolution , they compromised the principle of anti . slavery . They preferred union to the assertion ofthe antiTsUvery princip le , ne held that in that meeting they were bound to condemn that compromise . He know their difficulty . The Americans were numerous , and the Scotch wore not few , and what they wanted in numbers they made up in subtlety . There was not * slave-holder in the Southern States who did not hold that they had a property inman . Oh , that the three millions

      of slaves had the intelligence of men and the feelings of manhood to take their ease into their own hands . ( Hear , hear . ) The Rev . Dr . Cox , who led on the Evangelical Alliance , had a nigger pew in his chapel , and Dr . Page justified it by saying that the slaves were placed on the right side of tbe chapel , as God sat on tbe r ' _uhthsn ' * ofhis father . —( Murmurs . ) The principle of the Anti . Slavery League was tbat "Slavery was a sin . " The Rev . Dr . Cox had been an anti-slavery advocate , but now he was the moderator ofa general assembly of robbers , and was thanked by them . Bishop Mead composed sermons , to be read by slave-holding masters to their slaves , In these he counselled the slaves to do the work fur their masters as they would for God— ( _murmurs)—that their masters were God's own overseers —( murmurs )—and by doing so they would receive tbeir reward in Heaven . The Evangelical Alliance would never meet again until slavery in _Anr-Tiea was abolished . They might have a slave-holding Alliance in America , but they would m 3 ke England too hot to hold them . He concluded by moving the followine resolutions : —

      * ' That , whereas tbere are tbree millions of human beings in slavery in the United States of America , subjected every moment to all the liabilities attaching to every _d-. scription of property—a condition which , while as respects rights and privileges , they are ranked with the clods and creeping thinus of the earth , _tht-y are . in respect to the laws framed to enforce their submission , cubjected to a _responsibility more than human ; a condition , the essential element in the preservation of whieh is , the virtual annihilation of their aecountableness to God , and the _FUfcstifiiSion of tbe absolute -will of the master , as the only law they are to obey ' , a condition in wbich thc attempt to improve nnd exercise their deathless faculties is regarded and treated as a crime ; a con . dition . finally , entailed upon their posterity to the latest L eneration .

      " That we regard American slavery as a sin of unrivalled magnitude , demanding the condemnation of every human bfing who respects the law of God . or re . cognise the principles of natural justice and the equal rights of man . "Whereas it is a s » lf-evident truth that where there is a sin there must be a sinner ; and that when the sinner ceases to exist , tbe sin of which Vie was guilty ceases to be ; and whereas American slavery is not merely a ' s _' nfulsystem , ' or 'institution , 'hut a series of sinful acts , perpetrated by individuals , each of whom is separately responsible ; and whereas , when slavery bi-. C _imcs law , and assumes the form and stability of a social instiiution , the individual is not in consequence released from his responsibility to obey the law of God , and to cease from doing ' evtl ; but is , on the contrary , laid und _^ r an obligation to bear testimony against the unrighteous enactment .

      "That we repudiate the doctrine that slavery , as a system , or institution , or thing existing in the form of law . is sin , while the _si-vc-holder , for _wh"se benefit the law or institution has been framed , and who is directly the _perpetrator of the wrong , is innocent , and is entitled to be _received into society , nnd eren into the church , is a respectable and Christian man . In our judgment this doctrine involves ihe momentous prineiule , that sin ceases to be sin when sanctioned b y human law , and interwoven with the texture of society—a doctrine which would , under similar circumstances , justify polygamy , piracy , idolatry , or any other sin that should obtain the sanction of a legal enactment , or be elevate-. ! to the dignity of a social _institution .

      " That the relation of master and slave , when defined and sanctioned by law , is by that very process rendered a more inexcusable sin on the part of all who como into it as slave-holders , seeing they assume the relation , with a full _knowledge of its . unutterable horrors and fearful responsibilities , nnd of the perpetual wrongs to the slave necessarily involved in it ; and therefore the slave laws of America , instead of extenuating the guilty of living slave-holders , do , in reality , enhance their criminality , and make them justly chargeable with all the guilt _connected with tbe administration of those laws , whieb , by tbe relation they have assumed , they practical _' y sanction and uphold . " And also are condemnatory of the _proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance wilh regard to the question of slavery . " Tbe Chairman having put the resolutions ,

      Mr . 1 ' ebct St . John came forward to oppose the resolutions , and to defend the Evangelical Alliance . He opposed Die resolutions us iVisrespectfultothe Americans ; but he was heard with great impatience . The resolutions were then put and agreed to , and a collection made to defray the expense of holding the meeting . Mr . Frederick Douglas ( the fugitive slave ) then came forward . Ifc gairt he would add bis testimony to Uie description given of the state of slavery in America , He could say that slavery had no greater supporters in that country than the churches of America . It was upheld in sermon ; , presbyteries , and confrrenceR . On that account they were obliged lo war with them , or abandon the anti-slavery cause . What would they think of a religion in which stripe * , _thumbscrews _. dungeons . and bloodhounds

      continued under its « yes , without its denouncing such things ? \ Vli . _» t would they think of men who denied _mavriiige to two millions of people 1 There was one member ofthe Alliance of whom heknewsomething , bo meant Dr , Smyth , of Charleston , who performed moek marriages , leaving out thc words " whom God has joined _togetherlct no man put asuudtr , " with tho view of securing to the musters the right of separating man and wife when they pleased . Something had been said of ptavm , _l ! v- _biul a master who prayed , yet he saw that man tic up his ( Mr . Douglas ' s ) cousin , a young woman , until the warm bleod trickled on the ground , and justified it by quoting this passage of scripture : — " He that knows the will of his master and docth it not , is worthy of stripes . " He then went into a statement to show that the Northern ar . d Southern States were linked togetlivr in support of slavery .

      EXTKNSIVE ASD DESTRUCTIVE "FlRB AT GLASGOW . — Wc exceedingly regret to announce the total destruction by fire on Sunday morning ofthe extensive sugar refining establishments at Cartsdvke belonging to Messrs . James Fairrie and Co . Aoout tbree the alarm was given that a stove in tbe adjoining shipbuilding yard was on fire , and from its close proximity to the large sugar-house , the greater danger was at once apprehended for the safety of the whole adjacent valuable property . In a short space the flames caught thc house , and speedily assumed & most formidable appearance , setting at defiance every exertion to stay their destructive progress . Thc conflagration assumed in an incredibly short space of time a force awful to behold . Fortunately * the morning was calm , and sad as the tale is , it would have been rendered still more sorrowful had a breeze at the time been blowing from any quarter . The large building first seized stood in two short

      hours a melancholy ruin —presenting nothing but blackened . _^ calcined , tottering walls . The smaller one adjoining soon followed , and the fire being now confined , the enaines were kept at work on the one building , which continued till tar in tbe day burning in several parts . Tbe stock of goods on the premises at the time , we understand , was very large , and , in common , we are sure , with every one in this community , we deeply _ret-ret that its value is not nearly covered by insurance . AYe are sorry in having to add the loss of liie to our account of this calamity . ' Avery decent and industrious man named _Matthewson , a smith in Messrs . Steele ' s building-yard , wag killed by the falling of part ofthe south gable ofthe large sugnr . hni _* sc . Along with others he had been engaged atthe time at one ofthe png ines , and when his body was recovered , the hose was still firmly fixed in his hauds ; and we regret to add , that he has left a wife and child to mnurn his sudden and painful end . —Greenock Advertiser .

      E . _isTRn !» Oou . vTiEa Railway . —On Mondav morning an accident occurred on this line to an " excurs i on train consisting of thirty carriages and two engines . On thc Brentwood incline , which is 1 in 90 . the train came in violent contact with a truck left there by the plate layers , by which many ol the passengers were thrown from their ' seats and severely bruised . The men on the engine jumped off immediately before the collision and were found to be most severely injured . One of them had his thighs fractured . The parties who left the truck upon the line were given into custody .

      A _Mysterious Affair . —The Gazette det 7 n ' _- bunaux s & js , a tragical occurrence , clouded in mystery , has lately taken place at the waters of Orizza in Corsica . It appears that on the 21 st of August last , a young and beautiful wman was _suddenly taken with a most violent attack of a convulsive or spasmodic character , and died almost immediately . She had only just arrived at the waters in company with her brother and four servants . The story is , that she had been married only tivo years , when a separation took place between herself and husband , who was one of the richest nobles of Pisa . The ill assorted match , and the separation _whif-h had so soon followed it , had made sad havoc with her health and spirits , and being _mehuiclioly and abstracted , she constantly fled from society . _Hei-jmly amusement , it is said , was found in wvitine letters of a confidential character to some intimate friend . Still her melancholy added to , rather than diminished her

      captivating loveliness , and it was difficult to believe that one so wealthy , so beautiful , and in the very dower of her ace ( for she was only twenty ) , could look with indifference nn the approach of death . Such , _hon-ever , w . _is the case ; and she died apparently without one Iinperint * thought of lite or its enjoyments . Her body was _sul-sequently opened , for the double purpose of emba _l ming and ascertaining the cause of death . For the latter purpose her stomach was submitted to a chemical analysis , and tills led at once to the discovery that she had died _f' _* oni thc effects of a very strong dose of arsenic . It is said , that could the la ? t letter which she wrote _previously to her death have been _intercepted , it would have thrown some iight on this mystcriouB business ; but that , under present circumstance , the time has not arrived , consistently with the ends of justic _- _, further to remove the veil from this painful and mvsterious occurrence .

      Three Lives Lost on TnE River . —On Sunday evening two accidents happened in Erith Reach , one of them involving the loss of three lives . A pleasure sailing boat , called the Miriam , went down the river to Erith , managed _jiy Joseph Leonard , and another man conversant with the management of pleasure yachts . There were three gentleman on board whose names have not transpired . Tbe wind freshened in the evening , and while the boat was coming up the reach one of the men went aloft to reef the gaff-topsail , and while he was doing so a squall of wind caug ht , the sail , and thc top weight of the man caused the frail b . irk to capsize , and the whole party were immersed in the water . Two of the party " almost

      immediately disappeared , and were drowned ; Leonard clung to the hutches and other floating gear for some time , but ultimately sunk before assistance could reach hira , and also met a watery grave . The other waterman , and one of the gentlemen , said to be thc owner of the boat , were sav _«> d . None of tho bodies have been recovered . Soon afterwards another accident occurred in thc same reach ; a quay skiff , containing seven persons , which had been down on a pleasure trip , was capsized in a squall , * six ol * the party Clung to the boat , while Robert Hamilton , a waterman , swam towards a _sailing barge at anchor , and made known the danger of his _companions ; thebargemen immediately put off in their boat and saved the whole of the party .

      The tloHiimLB Murder at CiiESTEBPir . i . r > . —Connected with this horrid affair an opinion prevails thatthe deceased's body was cut up and carried away in parts to the cesspool , in which his mangled remains were discovered , ' this idea , however , is not supported by thc surgeon who _examined them he clearly ascertained that tbe first _vertebrte , wliich connects the head with the spine , had not the appearance of having'been separated by any violence , as it was found complete . But it must be home in mind that the second and third vertebras are not to he found , and , if thc head was separated from the body after death , those bones would be so broken up as ' to be _undistingiilslinble _afttu-wjir-ds . The mangled remains were interred in St . Thomas's churchyard . Brampton , on Monday last , followed by a large

      party of friends and relations , including Ellen Beresford , and attended by an immense concourse of spectiltOYSi Tiie prisoner was removed to Derby ga _^ on Friday morning , in the custody of Sharpe , an active constable of . Chesterfield ; a greatnumber of people congregated at the railway station to witness his depnr . tui-c ; he arrived a short time before the train , and made a request to see Mr R- statbnm , butcher , by whom he was employed , and with whom he conversed , seemingly without reserve , and did not seem in the least unnerved ; when the train arrived he was hurried through the crowd to the carriages , upon Which _fc appeared pale and agitated . He shook hands will some acqunintaice _.- _* _, and bade them good bye . lie also told Mr . Statham that he was innocent oi ' the minder . There was some groaning on

      his proceeding to the carriage , otherwise there was no strong feeling manifested bv the _con-re-rated throng . Ho isa very _tiiminitive man , being only five feet one inch in height , stout built , active , and having a repulsive countenance . Among the fraternity he and his brother in dersion ef their small stature , were known by the namesnf " Gog" and " Ma » 0 " _•* * A few days ago he addressed a letter to Mr . " li . _* Statham , whicli contained little more than _desirim * his respects to liis acquaintance and assertions of his ¦ nnocenee . Ue did not , however , for-efe his old Iriend ' Nero , ' a favourite dog , to whom he sent' his respects . ' Prisoner is described by bis late employer ai remarka

      being bly temperate in his habits , and _rather a timid disposition , Collis , the supposed murdered man , was a good looking person , twenty-six years ot ane , about thc middle size , dark hair , and _lijiht wh jkers , and well known and respeeted in the _ncighboifjrood . Ellen Beresford , the _young woman to whoiFffe wns betrothed is , a pretty and respectable looking young woman , and her case has excited much sympathy , as it is stated to have been the intention of Collis to marry her had he lived . A number of benevolent imlividuals . feeling that she was deprived of a husband , and her child ofa father , by this tragic occurrence , have laudably determined to

      raise a subscription in her behalf , and there is n » doubt but their praiseworthy object will meet with the success which it merits . * ¦ Fike o . \ _iioAKD A Snu\—Late on Sunday night a fire broke out on board the brig Reliance , Captain Robinson , lying in the Thames , off West-lane , _tlotherhithe .
