Anti-Slavery Society.-On Saturday the 12th of May, the anniversary of this humane and benevolent institution was held in Exeter Hall, which was too scanty in its dimensions to accommodate the vast multitudes who wished to attend. The assemblage was highly respectable, and the occasion rendered it the most generally interesting anniversary that the metropolis could produce, during the whole period of this religious festival.

It had been expected by many, that the chair would be taken by the Duke of Gloucester, but, through his absence, James Stephens, Esq. was called to fill his place. This gentleman, in a short address, called the attention of the people to the occasion for which they were assembled ; but without entering into any frightful details of slavery, he consigned the development of the monster to those who were better prepared for the painful task.

The first resolution was moved by Lord Suffield, who, in delineating the character and effects of slavery, observed, that the average hours which the slaves worked, according to the statement of the planters themselves, was fifteen hours and a half for seven months, and eighteen hours each day for the remaining five months of the year. The decrease by death in thirteen West India colonies, which were named, amounted, in eleven years and a half, to 50,435; and in the Mauritius, in ten years and three quarters, the decrease was 10,767.

Thomas Fowel Buxton, Esq. seconded the resolution, and, in a fine strain of argumentative eloquence, contended for the necessity of abolishing for ever this digrace of humanity, and of wiping away this foul stigma on the christian name.

The Rev. J. W. Cunningham, next addressed the meeting in a happy strain of ironical compliment to the humanity and logical powers of those who defended slavery; exposing the absurdity of their arguments, and tracing every advocacy up to mercenary or interested motives.

Dr. Lushington next appeared on the platform, and, in a speech of considerable length and energy, advocated the negro's cause. The committee of inquiry in the house of lords, he viewed as a mere farce, as several members, whose names he mentioned, were well known to be holders of slaves in the West Indies. The late revolt he considered as the natural consequence of the system they were anxious to have abolished.

Mr. William Smith, in a forcible and animated speech, traced the gradual progress that had been made towards the glorious crisis they now anticipated. He adverted to the labours of Wilberforce, Clarkson, and others, and urged the necessity of following up the Herculean labour they had so auspiciously begun.

Daniel O'Connell, Esq. appeared next, amidst strong testimonials of applause, and avowed himself a foe to slavery wherever it existed, and argued strongly and eloquently for complete and immediate abolition.

The Rev. John Burnet joined in the same common strain of powerful argument against the continuance of this diabolical evil. In a peculiar vein of humour, he contended that the planters were enemies to slavery in the abstract, but friendly to the continuance of its practical effects. He cared little about slavery in the abstract, if he could see it abolished in reality, and to this object their attention must be uniformly turned.

William Evans, Esq. the Hon. and Rev, Baptist Noel, Mr. Crampton, the solicitorgeneral for Ireland, and some others, addressed the meeting, which was protracted until a late hour; but no one, we believe, would have wished that any part had been omitted.

Society for Promoting a Due Observance of the Lord's Day.-On Monday, May 14th, the friends of this association met in Exeter Hall, and called the Rev. Daniel Wilson, now Lord Bishop of Calcutta, to the chair. It was stated in the report, that on the 17th of July 1831, which was the Sabbath, at an extensive teagarden in the environs of the metropolis, there were found at one time, about four in the afternoon, 2700 men, 1500 women, and 200 children, drinking and carousing, as in one common den. The whole number of persons who had visited the gardens during that day was estimated at eight thousand.

The Rev. Mr. Sims, the Lord Mayor of London, Rev. Haldine Stewart, Rev. W. Robins, J. M. Strachan, Esq. Sir Augustus Fitzgerald, Robert Chambers, Esq. Alexander Gordon, Esq. Andrew Pringle, Esq. Josiah Condor, Esq. the Earl of Chichester, and the Rev. S. C. Wilks, successively addressed the meeting, the object of which was, to use every exertion to prevent the awful profanation of the Lord's day.

Home Missionary Society.-On the evening of Tuesday, May 15th, the annual meeting of this society was held in Exeter Hall; Thomas Thompson, Esq. was called to the chair. This society was established

to extend and support village preaching, and otherwise to assist in promoting the cause of God. It now supported sixty Sunday-schools, and thirty missionaries, and also assisted twenty pastors. Of the beneficial effects produced by this society, many instances were given, but we have neither time nor room to enter into any detail.

ciety. The anniversary of this ginshop into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.

calumniated, but otherwise praise-worthy institution, was held at Exeter Hall, on Tuesday 22d of May, when the chair was taken by the Lord Bishop of London. Several prelates, with other distinguished individuals, were present, and the hall was filled with a highly respectable audience, among whom were many of the Society of Friends. During the meeting the vice of drunkenness, and its attendant miseries, were depicted in colours truly awful. The result, however, in the opinion of those present, was, that nothing but abstinence could meet the evil. Drunkenness is a demon that goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Already the efforts of the society had rescued multitudes from this intoxicating vice; and as its utility became every day more apparent, its converts were regularly increasing on each side of the Atlantic.

Society for promoting permanent and Universal Peace.-This anniversary was held on Tuesday, May 22nd, in the Friend's Meeting House, Gracechurch-street, London, Robert Marsden, Esq. in the chair. From among several sects, this humane society found able advocates; and those who have been accustomed to the delusions which the varnish of war imposes upon the minds of men, would be terrified on beholding the bloody and desolating monster stripped of its lettering and gilding.

Many other anniversaries of a benevolent nature, have been held in the metropolis during this season, but we cannot extend our observations beyond their present limits. This will be a source of less regret, as detailed accounts of these meetings have been published in two excellent newspapers. The "Christian Advocate," now united with the "World," and "The Patriot," which has been recently established. In these papers, we think a faithful account of these meetings, and the speeches delivered, may be found. To them, therefore, we acknow. ledge our obligations, and to them we refer our readers.

We have only to add, that in all these meetings the utmost harmony prevailed, that a spirit of genuine liberality was mani.

"And the Lord God took the man, and put him And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die,"

Gen. ii. 15-17.

SUCH, we are informed, by divine authority, was the wise and gracious provision which the Deity had made to preserve mankind in the secure possession of the innocence and happiness in which they had been originally created, and such was the original test of their piety to God. The history of that important affair, as recorded in the sacred volume, has indeed been matter of raillery by unbelievers, although their impious raillery would clearly betoken their ignorance both of the nature of piety, and the nature of human innocence; for, upon a careful and impartial review of the sacred history, it will fully appear, that the provision which the Almighty had made for the preservation of our primitive innocence and happiness, was every way worthy of its wise and gracious Author, and was every way adapted to answer all the purposes for which it was divinely designed."

It has appeared very strange to men of sceptical minds, that the only verbal law which was given to our parents in paradise, should have consisted in a rigid prohibition on their animal indulgences, and more especially in an arbitrary prohibition of the fruit of a particular tree. But it ought to be remembered, that the appetites and passions of our nature must have supplied our first parents with a sufficient excitement to all the active duties of human life; and that the law of moral obligation which had been written on their consciences, together with the native inspirations of the eternal Spirit in all their rational and moral faculties, must have contained an intuitive restraint on every criminal indulgence. Hence, the prohibition on the interdicted tree would of itself imply the fact of their moral probation, and the doctrine of a future state; and the terrible alternative of death, and everlasting life, would imply the momentous doctrine of an everlasting retribution.

The condition upon which our original

parents held the native blessings of their primitive innocence and happiness, must have indicated to the clear and upright minds of Adam and his wife, that they were actually on trial for an everlasting state; and their condition must have supplied them with the joyful hope of an everlasting life for if they had maintained their primitive innocence to the end of their probation, they must have happily secured the possession of a glorious and everlasting retribution; because these things were all involved in their primitive condition, and in the primitive testation of their piety to God. A perpetual probation is of itself a contradiction: and, therefore, if they were really on trial in their original condition, a state of retribution must have been before them; and since their exemption from the evils of mortality had been suspended on the maintenance of their primitive innocence and integrity, their fidelity to the end of the term of their probation, must have secured to them the ultimate possession of eternal life. And a state of absolute security, an everlasting exemption from all temption to evil, is equally the object of our religious faith, and of all our native hopes, and most ardent desires.

It has appeared exceedingly strange to some persons, that our primitive ancestors should not have been formally and verbally warned against all the different crimes into which human beings have subsequently fallen, and that the only verbal law which was given to Adam in paradise was, a rigid prohibition on the produce of a single tree. But such persons do not seem to recollect, that it would not have been consistent with the character of God, as the wise and righteous governor of the world, to have actually described, or formally anticipated, all the guilty practices which have subsequently disgraced the conduct of mankind, because it would have supplied them with additional temptation, by instructing them in the practice of criminal things, and it would have strengthened the adverse agency of the great enemy of our souls. Hence it is, that the holy scriptures have never once supplied mankind with occasions to any criminal desires, by describing sins before their actual commission by mankind. And in this matter, therefore, the fact, will fully bear out the argument of the case-that we have no example in which the sacred writers have anticipated unexisting crimes. As to the testation of the human character, by prohibitions laid upon the fruit of the forbidden tree; it ought to be remembered, that the fruit was forbidden on account of any noxious qualities which it contained, or be

cause it would be injurious to the human constitution, or because the eating of it would be a moral crime, but the prohibition was intended as a test of human piety, and to remind mankind of their probation for a future state, and to give additional security against all criminal indulgences. Hence, the evil of transgressing that particular command, was but the sad forerunner of all criminal indulgence, and of all the guilt and of all the misery of fallen men.

Piety to God, in a probationary state, must of necessity imply, an uniform submission of our appetites and passions to divine authority, and it must recognize the generous solicitude of our heavenly Father for our everlasting welfare. It recognizes also that important fact, that the will of God is really the rule of human happiness; and also that the unrestrained indulgence of our appetites and passions is incompatible with piety, and with the noblest purposes of our existence.

Indeed, the probation of creatures, living in an elemental state, and subject to the laws of organized existence, must mainly and of necessity consist in the temperate indulgence of their appetites and passions; and in bringing their desires into an uniform agreement with the will of the Almighty, as the natural and everlasting rule of right and wrong, and good and evil. And as the law of moral obligation was already written in their hearts, all verbal laws must needs be positive, and consist of arbitrary prohibitions on the otherwise legitimate indulgence of their animal desires.

It would be very easy to perceive, how well adapted this probation was, to test the piety of Adam and his wife. Because a paramount regard for the divine authority would have certainly restrained them from touching the forbidden tree, and their habitual forbearance would have been an effectual security against every criminal indulgence; because it would have given a constant activity and an invincible energy to the fear of the Lord in their hearts.

A positive and arbitrary law, could never have been more benevolent in its form, or more liberal in its purposes, than was that arbitrary prohibition on the interdicted tree. They had free access to every other tree in paradise; and even this single prohibition was an act of goodness, and was made for purposes far more important than their animal indulgences, even for their probationary good, and for their everlasting welfare. At a small expense of animal forbearance, it procured for them advantages of infinite importance; it embodied, in a manner, all the discipline of their probation

in one single prohibition, and encircled them in their primeval innocence, as with "In the day a cordon of celestial fire. that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die."

The original testation of our parents' piety did not consist in their abstinence from the natural indulgence of their own appetites and passions, nor in any bodily austerities, as though their moral habitudes. depended only on organic laws; but the pro

hibition was intended as a test and guard of human piety, and as a means of bringing all their appetites and passions into a due subordination to the will of God, and to keep their hearts alive to their probationary trust, and to all the expectation of an everlasting retribution of security and joy.

GLEANINGS.

The Action of Acids and Alkalies on Vegetable Blues. -Tear two red cabbage leaves into shreds, and pour upon them a pint of boiling water; after remaining an hour, pour off the liquid into a bottle; take four wine glasses, and into one put four drops of sulphuric acid, into a second six drops of solution of soda, into the third six drops of a strong solution of alum, and let the fourth glass remain empty. Fill each of these, apparently empty glasses, with the liquid contained in the bottle, and the first will become a beautiful red colour, the second a fine green, and the third a purple, while the fourth will of course remain unchanged. By adding a little of the acid to the green, it will become red, or by adding a little of the solution of soda to the red, it will become green, &c.

Fusible Metal.-Melt together eight parts of bismuth, five parts of lead, and three parts of tin; if a portion of this alloy, when cold, be put on a piece of strong paper, and the paper held over a lighted candle, it will melt before the paper burns.

Peninsular War.-The owners of the grain feared the loss of their store without any remuneration; and the poor of the towns and villages, dreading scarcity and want, would not divulge the secret of the existence of such stores, or of the places of deposit. "My children cannot eat gold," was the reply of a peasant, upon one occasion of great scarcity in Spain, when an officer, in a hunger he could scarcely endure, offered a doubloon for a loaf of bread. It was the invariable custom of the Spaniards during the war to bake by stealth; and the good wives would move about their dwellings, while the important business was going on, as if they were engaged in some guilty matter, and feared detection.-Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library---Memoirs of Wellington.

An Indian Tree.-This grotesque tree (the banyan of India.) grows upon one side of a rock, nearly perpendicular, over the front of which (being from thirty to forty feet high, and as many broad) hundreds of its roots descend, singularly implicated, and forming a kind of net work. The stems of the tree above rise up thirty feet at least from the rock, being supported by multitudes of roots, which find their sustenance in the soil below. These occupy a space nearly a hundred feet in compass, and display various arches and recesses, of most curious appearance. On one side, the impending branches have sent down a root of forty feet, which, having got footing in the ground, has given birth to a young tree. Multitudes of other long fibrous shoots, of a black colour, are growing downward from the horizontal branches above, which, though dangling wildly in the air now, will strike root as soon as they reach the ground, and add their antic columns

to

the pillared shade.' The natives have a tradition, that the seed of this gigantic plant was brought by a bird from the moon.-Missionary Voyages.

History of Wigs.-The Abbé Thiers, that learned and zealous despiser of the superstitions and abuses of the Roman church, has composed a book of nearly five hundred pages against the peruques of ecclesiastics. He speaks of those of the laymen, the use of which, commenced in France about the year

1629. At first they only covered one side of the head, afterwards two sides, and at last, they enveloped the whole head. "The courtiers, the redhaired, and the scurf headed," says the author, "first wore them: the courtiers from delicacy, the red-haired from vanity, the scurf-headed from necessity." The number of peruqued heads increased to such a degree, that in 1659 an edict created two hundred barbers, bath-keepers, and peruquiers. It was not till 1660 that ecclesiastics were seen with peruques. The abbés, or those calling themselves such, the abbés de cour, the abbés Desmeretes, and the abbés à la mode, began to wear peruques. They were short, and were called peruques d' abbee." This author enumerates the different species of peruques the great peruque, also called peruque in folio; the little peruques; the peruques à callotte, these are the most ancient; the peruke de Bichon; the peruque á-la-moutanne: the peruque abbé, &c.Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library.

Byron Lost in the Labyrinths of Keretea.-The travellers wandered from one grotto to another until they came to a fountain of pure water, by the side of which they lingered some time, till, observing that their torches were wasting, they resolved to return: but after exploring the labyrinth for a few minutes, they found themselves again close by the side of this mysterious spring. It was not without reason they then became alarmed, for the guide confessed with trepidation that he had forgotten the intricacies of the cave, and knew not how to recover the outlet. Byron often described this adventure with spirit and humour, magnifying both his own and his friend's terrors; and though of course there was caricature in both, yet the distinction was characteristic. Mr. Hobhouse, being of a more solid disposition naturally, could discern nothing but a grave cause for dread, in being thus lost in the bowels of the earth; Byron, however, described his own anxiety as a species of excitement aud titillation which moved him to laughter. Their escape from starvation and being buried alive was truly providential. While roaming in a state of despair from cave to cell; climbing up narrow apertures; their last pine-torch fast consuming; totally ignorant of their position, and all around darkness, they discovered, as it were by accident, a ray of light gleaming towards them, they hastened towards it, and arrived at the mouth of the cave. Although the poet has not made any use of this incident in description, the actual experience which it gave him of what despair is, could not but enrich his metaphysical taste, and increase his knowledge of terrible feelings; of the workings of the darkest and dreadest anticipationsslow famishing death-cannibalism-and the rage of self-devouring hunger.-Galt's Life of Byron.

Queen Elizabeth.-Her Majesty was far from being always accommodating; and it often required no small degree of patience to bear the effects of her violent passions and unreasonable caprice. The manners of that age were much less refined than those of the present; yet, even then, it appeared no ordinary breach of decorum in a queen to load her attendants with the coarsest epithets, or to vent her. indignation in blows. The style of gallantry with which she encouraged her courtiers to approach her, both cherished this overbearing temper, and made her excesses be received rather as the illhumour of a mistress than the affronts of a sovereign. It was customary for her statesmen and warriors to pretend not only loyalty to her throne, but ardent attachment to her person; and in some of Raleigh's letters, we find her addressed, at the age of sixty, with all the enthusiastic rapture of a fond lover. To feign a dangerous distemper, arising from the influence of her charms, was deemed an effectual passport to her favour; and when she appeared displeased, the forlorn courtier took his bed in a paroxysm of amorous despondency, and breathed out his tender melancholy in sighs and protestations. We find Leicester, and some other ministers, endeavouring to introduce one Dyer to her favour; and, the means which they employed was, to persuade her that a consumption, from which the young man had with difficulty recovered, was brought on by the despair with which she had inspired him. having, on one occasion, fallen under her displeasure, became exceedingly ill, and could be restored to health only by her sending him some broth, with kind wishes for his recovery. Raleigh, hearing of these attentions to his political rival, got sick in his turn, and received no benefit from any medicine till the same sovereign remedy was applied. With courtiers who submitted to act the part of sensitive admirers, Elizabeth found herself under no restraint; she expected from them the most unlimited compliance, and, if they proved refractory, she gave herself up to all the fury of passion, and loaded them with approbrious epithets.-Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopadia, Vol. XXI.

Essex

Book Collectors.-The passion of book collecting arises as often from folly and vanity, as from a real desire to possess a work of unique value. One purchases a book because it is the first edition; another because it is the last: another learned collector purchases a work, not because he cares for the author, but because some learned man's name or autograph, according to the modern fashionable literary nomenclature, is written on the title-page. This rage for collecting has not been confined to Europe alone, but Asia and Africa have been ransacked for manuscripts, whose sole value was, that nobody could understand them. It was, however, perhaps more prevalent in the seventeenth century than in the present at that time some ingenious gleaners in the literary harvest-home brought to Paris a number of very valuable Arabian manuscripts, well preserved and labelled, with names of high import and sounding fame. The collectors rushed to the scene of action, eager to purchase and out-bid each other, and the sellers well knew how to take advantage of this empressment literaire; high prices were asked and given, and happy was he who could add to his library a book which he could not understand. The Sorbonne, the academy royal, and all the scavans, were in raptures with their acquisitions: when at length their excessive joy permitted them to trust these morceaux precieux to the inspection of those who really understood the Arabic language, it appeared that the manuscripts certainly contained accounts of great value, for they were the ledgers of Persian and Arabian merchants in Bussora and Bagdad.

Lawrence and Fuseli.-The very sovereigns at Aixla-Chapelle, it seems, paid court to the former of these great painters. Alexander inserted the pegs of his easel, and even Francis put on a smile of benevolence, when the aristocratic-looking representative of English art was presented to him. The Pope was affectionate to him, and his famous minister, Gonsalvi, entreated his friendship. On the other hand, Lawrence knew himself and his position: one arrogant thought or look never escaped him; and if Alexander performed a menial office for him, he placed it not to his own greatness, but to the Emperor's condescension. But if Lawrence was sensitively alive to the distinctions of rank, Fuseli stood upon the equality of man-the nobility of genius. The life of Lawrence, just published, is illustrated with three portraits of this eminent painter, taken at various periods of his life; and the life and writings of Fuseli have a portrait of this original artist prefixed, exquisitely engraved by Dean. These two biographies may be ranked among the most popular and entertaining of their class recently published.
