not unaware of iheimuoi'tnucc of considering kindness ; ,: i'i charity a ? belonging in free > nen . The question of pavlj' wsw not ovotlookcii . W ., 'hi the contrary , had been frerlv OUcus ? . t * 'U - ^ " " . '"' . " . twn was moved in the assembly of the « uuy 10 which he referred , " Thatall might be brethren in Christ , and treated as such by the Evangelical Alliance , who either held slaves against their will , or who held' them for their own interests . " That resolution at last was withdrawn , and verjr properly rescinded by the Alliance , and the whole question thereby left in abeyance . Now , if the American brethren should return to their own country and give it to understand that in England slavery was a . question she was content to hold in abeyance , he was sure the meeting would concur with him in saying they would deeply wrong the
generosity of the English nation . ( Hear , hear . ) They had assembled that evening'to tell them that the judgment of the Alliance was not the judgment of the people of England ; but that it was the judgment of a comparatively small number , though gathered from differ , nt parts of the three kingdoms , as well as from America and from the continent . That selection of individuals , h owever free from reproach they might otherwise be , had ( , ' iven a judgment calculated to lead the Americans to believe that this important question remained in abeyance ; and they should take cure that it should not iro forth as thu decision of Eng land or of Europe . That nine night the } would leani the sentiments of Americans on the subjeet , and that the decision of the Alliance was riot even their decision .
Mr . Thomas Llotd Garrison then came forward , and said he could sincerely declare that he felt deeply embarrassed on the present occasion , not because he did not stand there in a good cause—not because he had so little to say—but because of the magnitude of the subject which had brought them together , and because he found it in his heart to say much ; yet knowing that he must not trespass . 11 their time , as there were other speakers whom they would be more anxious to hear . If he had ever desired bonds with them , and strength to meet a
solemn emergency , it was on that occasion . He remein . berisd that . those who advocated and were the representatives of three millions of American people , held in the galling chains of slavery were with them . He wished to feel with them , and he remembered that their eyes wore 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 with that tremendoui subject , for he had
nsither" 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 speak right on , " of . things which they themselves did know . " As for the question itsolf . he was sure every one would hold it to lie of the deepest importance , and one which in due season would attract the attention of all Christendom . They had not assembled for a sectarian purpose , or to indulge any feeling of dislike for a body ,, because , perhaps , they had been shut out from it in consequence of thecretd laid down for the regulation of its members . They were to regard its proceedings without reference to its faith ; for they knew that no sect or party had been allowed to pass by tin szathed by him , which had shown itself inclined to the per .
secution 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 any time Ue w-rald be ready to exercise the freedom of denunciation whkl ) it conferred upon him . Tlie object of their meeting was to concede to the Evangelical Alliance nil that itcould el . iini as : ¦ religious body ; . anA they would , not judge of it V > y their own standard if that should happen to beja different one . They would then easily be able to determine , whether that- body deserved the approbation of the relig ious world , or whether it had not been false to .-ill its relig ious professions , and henceforth to be regarded with condemnation and execration throughout the world . If the Evangelical Alliance had b » cn constituted for a particular purpose , and that purpose were other than 'he
abolition of -lavury , then 110 man could have complained of its not having taken up the question of slavery , but he nevertheless thought , that whatever might be their re ligious opinions , they had some reason to complain of that body , that it was in some reopec s a prescriptive body . No man at tli « present day would b- anxious to b = considered an enemy to Christianity , for it was fashionable to this asje , as well as popular , to be a follower of Christ in words at leaf t , if not in deeds . The Evangelical Alliance , in tin ? line of conduct it had pursued , and in actual opposition to their manifest principle , had shown itself a thoroughly nnti-Christian body , unqualified to do a work which God had never given it to perform , whoever else mig ht be the chosen instruments in his hands , of engaging in the the great work of the regeneration of the world .
( This declaration was received by simultaneous hisses from all parts of tlie chain her , and the cheering which was afterwards mixed up with it , occasioned a scene o ! indescribable confusion , which only the prompt interfer once of tilt . ' Rev . Chairman put a stjp to . ) Mr . Garrison resu med his address , by observing that lie had spoken ol particular deHominationsapart from their Christian principles . It was manifest beyond a doubt that the pretenions of the Ernngelieal Al iance amounted to nothing short of its being a body inspired by the Holy Ghost . Notwithstanding its absurd claim to diuiic inspiration , it had overlooked the social ami religious condition of three millions of their suffering follow creatures . A resolution was proposed by the Rev . J . II . Hilton to the . ffect that slaveholders should not be admitted into the Conference . It was a noble motion , introduced in the
glorious spirit of Him wlio canw to throw open the prison doors and set the captives frc : ; but it whs rejected by those who deserved the scorn and execration of men and angrli . T j » e happiness of three millions of human beings wasMXmcerned whose lot was most horrible , and although oTe should suppose it did not require half a moment ' s cfcwideraiion , yet it was referred to the consideration oi' n Select Committee . They did not understand 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 progress . ( 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 which several persons on the platform and in the body of the building withdrew . )
Tlie Chahiman having called for and obtained silence , promising that whoever chose to reply should be heard . Mr . Garrison continued— He bslUvcd that if the Committee acted rightly they had no occasion whatever for sucking direction from God , and that they hail no just cause for delay , unless Ihey meant in some way or other to wrap up the ' question . ( Loud cries of " hear , Ueur . " ) The American delegates who attended at the Evangelical Alliance , held , or at least professed to hold , that all men in the eyes of God were equal , and jet they , as well as the other members of the Alliance , sat day after day , and week after wueU , and no ligh t from heaven came Upon them ; God did not reveal his will with regard to slavery . He ( Mr . Garrison ) had no hesitation in saying that such conduct was downright blasphemy . ( Cheers . ) The
Committee at last made a special report ; that report denounced intemperance mid a profanation of the Lord's day , duelling , slavery , and other things . How , he could hardly conceal his indignation when he remembered th . it 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 thai one day was not bistlev than another . He was , he repeated , indignant to find that such men were in their eyes no bet ' . er 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 resolved that nothing connected with slavery should appear on their proceedings in any shape whatever . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Garrison ) stood iu that assembly to take the mask off those
men , and to pronounce them to be nothing less than wolves in sheep ' s clothing . ( Cheers . ) lie had shewn that that Alliance professed to be animated by the spirit of God ; he judged it by its cwn standard , not his ; and if the evidence he had adduced proved it had acted an unchristian part , the fault was not his but theirs . It men who had any regard for the Hible , and believed it was inspired by God , could shew him in its pages a line which authorised one man to hold pvouu'ty iu anotherif tiny could prove to him that any passage in it made slavery lawful , he should put it into the tire , ( Loud cheers . ) And if any one could shew that God allowed one creature to make a bea « t and a slave of another , all he should say was that their Goil should hu his level . ( Cheers , and some hisses . ) The lion . Gentleman , after referring again to the result of the conference with respect to slavery in America , sat down amid loud cheers .
The Chairman then called on any jrcntlcmnn who chose to address the meeting in reply to Mr . Garrison to come on the platform , on which an old and respeatablu gentleman availed himself of the , invitation , and was announced as The Ilev . John Tiieston He said he was a Baptist minister of u congregation in Ettston-stmitve ; a member of the Evangelical Alliance , as it was termed ; he attended its sittings during nineteen session ? , and espe-

cially during the aggregate meeting of the Committee at Exeter Hall , for two days , on the subject sf slavery , and had , therefore , he presumed , ' goma right to be heard . ( Hear . ) lie certainly came to the 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 hi-ses)—or prayer to God ridiculed . The results which followed at the Conference respecting tusji en tirely owing to tlie delegates from America , who attended them . The whole of the British members were decidedly opposed to it , and on Saturday evening :,- during the " conference , when " 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 «> the Americans would have it . A Voice . — You let them have it . -
The Rev . -Mr . Preston . —Let them have it ; ho was sorry to say , and to be obliged to say it , that the Conference , or the Alliance , were overpowered . but he was pr « ud to acknowledge that the members connected with the British Islands werea'l totally averse to slavery . Mr George Thompson then presented himself , and was reco ' ved with loud cheer * . They were assembled to see what the standard was which a nation set up oh the question of slavery ; to comment upon fhe short enminers and proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance , and to pledge themselves that no bod y of men shall lower that standard , or damage the cause of blooding 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 f Natural justice and Christianity rejected slavery as accursed—as the unclean thi"p that would contaminate the ark . Mr . Hinton . in the Evangelical Alliance , moved that the words " exept slave-holders , " should be added to their confession of faith , but that was rejected . The Alliance compromised the anti-slavery principle by rejecting that amendment . The Rev . Gentleman who spoke last snid that they were led by the American members . In fact , the Alliance was lead by them like asses . The Baptists bad the honour , that the mover of that amendment was of their body . He then went on to animadvert on the conduct of the Presbyterian body , when he waa
intprrupted by a gentleman who denied that they had favoured slavery . He ( Mr . Thompson ) had heard T > ctor Cuningbam and Dr . Candlisbin the general Aasembl . ijitate Christ and his Apostles had received ulnve-hnldtrs ' to the right of communion , and he had placarded those dpclarations through the streets of Edinburgh . There "ere three fugitive slaves on the platform . He wished the hull was filled with them . The Alliance held it was not a crime to be a slave-holder , when it was not of his own fault . Would that meeting sanction the principle that God placpd any man in the position that he could not avoid committing crime ? They adopted thatresolutinn . The question was—would they admit slave-holders ? By th ; it resolution , they compromised the principlenf antislavery . TIipv preferred union to . the assertion of the
anti-sldvery principle . He held that in that meeting they were bound to condemn that compromise . lie know their difficulty . The Americans were numerous , and the Scotch were not few , and what they wanted in numbers they made up in subtlety . There was not a stare-holder in the Southern States who did not hold that they had a property in man . Oh , that the three millions of slaves had the intelligence of men and the feelings of manhood to take their rase into their own hands . ( ITrar , hear . ) The Rev .. Dr . Cox , who led on the Evangelical Alliance , bad a nipper pew in his chnpel . and Dr . Page justified it by saying that the slaves were placed on the rit'ht side of the chapel , as God sat on the riehthand of his father . —( Murmurs . ) The principle of fhe Anti .
Slavery League was that " Slavery was a sin . " The Rev . Dr . Coi had been an anti-slavery advocate , but now he was the moderator of a general assembly of robbers , and was thanked by them . Bishop Mead composed sermons , to be read by slave-holding masters to thpir slaves . In these he counselled the slaves to do the work fnr their masters as they would for G « d—( raurmi re )—that their masters were God ' s own overseers—( murmurs)—and by doing so they would receive their reward in Ileaven . The Evaiigeliral Alliance would never meet again until slavery in Anrrioa was abolished . They might have 11 slave-holding Alliance in America , but they would make England too hot to hold them . He concluded by moving thefollow nc resolutions : —
" That , whereas there nre three millions of human beings in slavery in the United States of America . , « ubjeettd every moment to all the liabilities attachinp to evpry description of property—a condition which , while ns respects rights and privileges , they are ranked with the clods and creeping tbines of the earth , thpy are , in respect to the laws framed to enforce their submission , subjected to a responsibility more than human ; a condition , the essential element in the preservation of which is , the virtual annihilation of their uccountaMenesB to God , and the substitution of the absolute will of the master , as the only law they nre to obey : a condition in which the attempt to improve and exercise their deathless fnculties is rrgrirdVd iinrl treated as a crime ; a condition , finally , entailed upon their posterity to the latest generation .
" That we regard American slavery as a sin nf unrivalled magnitude , demanding the condemnation of every human being who respects tlie law of God , or recognise the principles of natural justice and the equal rights of man . Whereas it is a sMf-cvident truth that whore , there is a tin thtremust bqa sinner ; and that when the sinner ceases to exist , the sin of -which he vras guilty ceases to be ; and whereas American slavery is not merely a ' sinfulsystem , ' or 'institution , 'but a series of sinful ' acts , perpetrated by individuals , each of whom is separately responsible ; and whereas , when slavery becomes law , and assumes the form and stability of a social institution , the individual is not in consequence released from his responsibility to obey tiie law of God , and to cease from doing ' evil ; but is , on the contrary , laid und ^ r nn obligation to bear testimony against tlie unrighteous enactment .
"That we repudiate the doctrine that slavery , as a system , or institution , or tiling existing in tlie form ol law , is sin . while the sl ^ ve-holder , for whose 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 info society , and eren into the church , is a respectable and Christian man . In our jmlirnifiit this doctrine involves the momentous princioK that sin ceases to be sin when sanctioned" by 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 elevated to the dignitv of a soeial 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 come into it as slave-holders , seeing they assume the relation , with a full knowledge nf its unutterable horrors and fearful responsibilities , find of the perpetual wrongs to the slave necessarily involved in it ; and therefore the slave law ? of America , instead of extenuating the guilty of livinp slave-holders , do , in reality , enhance their criminality , and make them justly chargeable with all the guilt connected with tlie administration of . those Inns , which , by the relation thoy have assumed , they practically sanction and uphold . " And also nre condemnatory of the proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance with regard to the question of slavery . " TJie Chairman having put tlie resolutions ,
Mr . PERCV St . John came forward to oppose the resolutions , and to defend the Evangelical Alliance . He opposed the resolutions as disrespectful to the Americans ; but he was heard with great impatience . The resolutions were then put mid agreed to , and a collection mado to defray the expense of holding the meeting . Mr . Vredemck Douglas ( the fugitive slave ) then came forward . He said he would add his testimony to the description given of the state of slavery in America . IIa could say that slavery had no greater supporters in that country than the churches ( if America . It was uphold in sermons , presbyteries , and conferences . On tlmt account they were obliged to war with them , or abandon the anti-slavery cause . What would they think of a religion in which stripes , thumbscrews , dungcons . and bloodhounds
continued under its wyes , without its denouncing such things ? 1 Vh . it would tiny thinlcof men who denied mar-Huge t" t * vo millions of people ? There ivas one member of the Alliance of whom lieknewsomethiiig , ho meant Dr . Smyth , of Charleston , nbo performed mock inurrfriges , leaving out the words " whom God has joined togetheriet no man put .-lsund . r , " with the view of securing to the musters tlie riglit of separating man nml wife when they pleased . Something had been said of piayevs . He bad a master who prayed , yet he saw that man tie up his ( Mr . Douglas ' s ) cousin , a young woman , until the warm blood trickled on the ground , aud justified it by quoting this passage of scripture : — "lie that knows the will of his master and doeth it not , is worthy of stript-s . " He then went into a statement to show that the Northern and Southern States were linked togetlur in support of
slavery . A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman the meutin b' separated .

He stated that onreturn / ng from business on Thursday evening , he found his wife stretched on her bedjand almost mad with pain of the head . She had never suffered so before . Mr .

a deep wound in the throat , > yhich , no doubt , 8 he had inflicted on herself , with a large carving-knife that lay by her fide on the seat . She was alwajs expressing fears that her children would come to poverty , though their prospects were quite otherwise . Another witness proved that deceased laboured under such a strong delusion that penury would be the lot of her and her offspring , that she grumbled at every penny she was obliged to spend . The surgeon who saw her on Thursday evening , told her that she was pregnant , and she has been heard to say . that child-birih had been so agonising to her , that she could not bear to live to suffer its pangs again .

EXTKNSIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE FlRE AT GLASGOW . We exceedingly regret to announce the total destruction by fire on Sunday morning of the extensive sugar refining establishments at Cartsdyke belongingto Messrs . James Fairrie and Co . About three the alarm was given that a stove in the 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 the house , and speedily assumed a most formidable appearance , setting at defiance every exertion to stay their destructive progress . The 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 engines were kept at work on the one building , which continued till far in theday burning in several parts . The 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 retret that its value is not nearly covered by insurance , We are sorry in havingto add the loss of life to our account of this calamity . A very decent and industrious man named Matthewson , a smith in Messrs . Steele ' s building-yard , was killed by the falling of part of the south gable of the large sugar-house . Along with others he had been engaged at the time at one of the engines , and when his body was recovercl , the hose was still firmly fixed in his hands ; and we regret to add , that he has left a wife and child to mourn his sudden and painful end . —Grecnock Advertiser ,
E / tsTEHJf Cou . vties ItAittVAv . —On Monday morning an accident occurred on this line to an " excursion train consisting of thirty carriages and two engines . On the 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 of 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 des Tribunaux says , 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 woman 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 f . ur servants . The story is , that she had been married only two 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 which had so soon followed it , had made sad havoc with her health and spirits , and being melancholy and abstiacted , she constantly fled from society . Herjmly amusement , it is said , was found in writing 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 Bower of her ace { for she was only twenty ) , could look with indifference on the approach of death Such , however , was the case ; and she died apparently without one lingering thought of life or its enjoyments . Her body was siilsequently opened , for the double purpose of embalming and ascertaining the cause of death . For the latter purpnse her stomach was submitted to a . chemical analysis , and this led at once to the discovery that she had died from the effects of a very strong dose of arsenic . It is said , th . it could the last letter which she wrote previously to her death have been intercepted , it would have thrown some li » ht on this mysterious business ; buc that , under present circumstance , the time has not arrived , consistently with the ends of justicf , further to remove the veil from this painful and mvsterious occurrence .
Three Lives Lost on . the River . —On Sunday evening two accidents happened in Erith Reach , one of them involving the loss of three lives . A nlessure sailinc boat , called tlie Miriam , went down the river to Erith , managed by Joseph Leonard , and another man conversant with the management of pleasure yachts . There were three gentleman on board whose names have not transpired . The wind freshened in the evening , and while the boat was coming up the ves \ oh one of the men went aloft to reef the gafftppsail , and whilu he was di > ingso a squall of wind causht the . sail , and the top weight of the man caused the ' frail bark to capsize , and the whole party were immersed in the water . . Two of the party almost
immediately disappearedi ^ and were drowned ; Leonard clung to tiie ha tches and other floating eear for some time , but ultimately sunk before assistance cou'd reach him , and also met a watery grave , 'lhe other waterman , and one of the gentlemen , said to be the owner of the boat , were saved . None of the bodies have been recovered . Soon afterwards another accident occurred in the aanio reach ; a quay skiff , containing seven persons , which had been down on a pleasure trip , was capsized in a squall ; six of the party clung to the boat , while Robert Hamilton , a waterman , swam towards a sailing barge at anchor , ami made known tlio danger of his companions ; the bargemen immediately put off in their boat and saved the whole of the party .
The Horrible Murder at Chesterfield . —Connected with this horrid affair an opinion prevails that the deceased ' s body was cut up and carried away in parts to the cesspool , in which his mangled remains were discovered . \ his idea , however , is not supported by the surgeon who examined them ; lie clearly ascertained that the first vertebras , which connects the head w ith the spine , had not the appearance of having been separated by any violence , as it was found complete . But it must be borne in mind that tha second and third vertebra ! arc not to be found , and , if the head was separated from the body after death , those bones would be so broken up as to be ( indistinguishable afterwards . The mangled remains were" -hiterrejLin St . Thomas ' s
churchyard , Brampton , on Monday last , followed by iilarge party of friends and relations , including Elisn Beresford , and attended by an immense concourse of spectators . The prisoner was removed to Derby gaol on Friday morning , in the custody of Sharpe , an active constable of Chesterfield ; a great number nf people congregated at the railway station to witness bis departure ; hn arrived a short time before the train , and made a request to see Mr It . Statham , butcher , by whom he was employed , and with whom he conversed , seemingly without reserve , and did nut seem in the W't unnerved ; when the train arrived , he waa hurried tliroupli the crowd to the cavriaaes , upon which I c appeared pale and agitated . He shook hands will some acquaints ce . =, and bade them good
bye . He also told Mr . Statham tiiat he was innocent of the mui der . There was some "roanin" on his prot-ecditig to the carriage , otherwise there was no strong : feeling ; manifested bv the coimrogaJed throng . He is a very . diminitive man , being only five feet one inch in heis-ht , 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 tiamesof " Gog" and " Mimog . " A few days ago he addressed a letter to Mr . R . Statham , which contained little more than desiring his respects to his acquaintance and assertions of his innocence . lie did not , however , forget his old friend ' Nero . ' a favourite do- ; , to whom he sent ' his respects . ' Prisoner is described by liislato emnlovcr
as being remarkably temperate in his habits , and r ither a timid disposition . Collis , the supposed murdered man , was a aood looking person , twenty-six years of asjo , about the middle size , dark hair , and li j- 'lit whiskers , and well known and respected in the neighbourhood . Ellen Berceford , the young woman ti whom he was betrothed is , a pretty " and respect-^ lie looking young woman , and her ease has excited '" , 'uch sympathy , as it is stated to have been the intention of CoUis to marry her had he lived . A number of benevolent individuals , feeling that she was dopi-ivfdof a husband , and her child of a father , I' )' this trapic occurrence , have laudably determined to raise a subscription in her behalf , and there is no doubt but their praiseworthy object will meet with the success which it merits .
