And again,* "If," says he, you will take care not to speak to them of their return to slavery, but talk to them about their liberty, you may with this latter word chain them down to their labour. How did Toussaint succeed? How did I succeed also before his time in the plain of the Cul de Sac, and on the plantation Gouraud, more than eight months after liberty had been granted (by Polverel) to the slaves? Let those who knew me at that time, and even the blacks themselves, bel asked. They will all reply, that not fa single negro upon that plantation, P. 311.

"This," he says, "was owing to Toussaint, who, while he had succeeded in establishing perfect order and discipline among the black troops, had succeeded also in making the black labourers return to their plantations, there to resume cultivation." The same writer tells that wonderful progress in agriculture was made in 1797. "The colony," he says, "marched, as by enchantment, towards its ancient splendour; cultivation prospered; every day produced perceptible proofs of its progress."

Of this character are the nave and transepts; the former, one hundred and ninety feet in length, is separated from the aisles by a beautiful range of clustered columns and finely-pointed arches, above which are a triforium of lancet-shaped arches, and a fine range of clerestory windows, in which elegant tracery, in the later English style, has been inserted; the roof is finely groined, and the great west window is embellished with ancient stained glass of great brilliancy.

In fact, there are few graminiverous animals that may not be brought to be carniverous." According to Kalm, Major Roderfert, of New York, had a tame beaver above half a year in his house, where it went about quite loose like a dog. The Major gave him bread, and sometimes fish, of which he is said to have been greedy. He got as much water in a bowl as he wanted, and all the rags and soft things he could meet with he dragged into a corner where he was accustomed to sleep, and made a bed of them. The house cat, on one occasion, happening to produce kittens, took possession of the beaver's bed without his offering her any opposition. When the cat went out the beaver often took a kitten` between his paws, and held it to his breast, as if for the purpose of keeping it warm; but as soon as the proper parent returned he delivered up the offspring.-Edinburgh Cabinet Library. On arriving at the depôt, the stock of meal was nearly expended; however, he obtained a temporary supply, and was comforted with the assurance that a large quantity was hourly expected. Anxious to bring the means of sustenance to his suffering little ones, the herdsman crossed the mountains with his precious burden, and reached that hillock where the stones are loosely piled. But during his absence at Ballycrag, the rain had fallen heavily in the hills; the river was no longer fordable-a furious torrent of discoloured water rushed from the heights, and choked up the narrow channel. There stood the returning parent, within twenty paces of his own wretched but dearly-loved hovel. The children with a cry of delight rushed from the hut to the opposite bank to welcome him; but, terrified by the fearful appearance of the flood, his wife entreated him not to attempt its passage for the present. But would he, a powerful and experienced swimmer, be deterred? The eager and hungry looks of his expecting family, maddened the unhappy father. He threw aside his clothes and bound them with the meal upon his back, crossed himself devoutly, and, " in the name of God," committed himself to the swollen river.

SIR,-Having no idea who the writer of the letter signed "R. S." in No. 20 of The Tourist is, I cannot have any personal feeling of illwill towards him. The common pro-slavery phrase, "cant and hypocrisy," made use of in his first letter, helped to excite my suspicion of his being 66 no enemy to the slave-trade and slavery." Certainly, to excite sympathy towards the injured Africans, by promulgating the truth, was the grand object I had in view. If, however, I have committed a breach of charity, I am sorry for it, nor do I wish to justify such an offence. And, if my zeal in the cause of upwards of 100,000 of my fellowcreatures, annually stolen from Africa, to supply the places of those who have been sacrificed to Mammon on the other side of the Atlantic, by nominal Christians, and the knowledge that British merchants are contributing to support this iniquity, have carried me too far in my suspicions, I hope that "R. S." will forgive me. Having expressed his warm indignation against these crimes, let us now labour harmoniously together in this cause. Had "R. S." been able to read through the whole of the parliamentary documents alluded to, instead of their being "in his hands not more than half an hour," he might, possibly, not only have readily excused my "display of zeal," but also have been of my opinion, that much praise is due to Governor Findlay, for his exertions in bringing the wicked practices of the slave-dealers at Sierra Leone before the notice of our Government. I have these papers now before me, and will furnish "R. S." and the public with a very small portion of the important and appalling information they contain. They consist, principally, of a charge delivered by the Chief Justice of Sierra Leone to the Grand Jury-the report of a commission appointed to inquire into the truth of his statements-the evidence produced before this commission-and the correspondence of the Secretary of State thereon. The Chief Justice had stated that within the last ten years upwards of 22,000 Africans, who had been liberated from slave-ships, had been located in the colony; and that the present population did not exceed 17,000 or 18,000. He concluded from this fact that the slave-trade had been extensively carried on there. Thirty-two witnesses, amongst whom were the Governor, and principal civil officers of the colony, were examined in support of this statement. In their report, the Commissioners say that "the nefarious system of kidnapping has prevailed in this colony to a much greater extent than was even alluded to in the charge of the Chief Justice"-"that great facility has been afforded to the increase of the slave-trade by the British merchants of the colony, who have purchased vessels condemned in the Mixed Commission Court, as agents for foreigners, which vessels have afterwards been brought into the colony, and again condemned for a repeated infraction of the Slave-trade Abolition Act." "Some very recent instances have occurred in which persons of apparent respectability have been charged with aiding and abetting the slave-trade," &c. &c. The affecting details in the evidence cannot be read by any humane or serious person without deep sorrow for the guilt of our countrymen, and the sufferings of the Africans. Perhaps "R. S." will allow me to correct a mistake he is under, in supposing that the Quakers "have never supported the missionary cause." They certainly differ from other Chris tian societies in their opinion respecting the manner of sending out missionaries; yet George Fox, the first person who was called a Quaker, visited the continent of Europe, America, and the West Indies, besides almost every part of Great Britain, repeatedly, as a Christian missionary. Many of his fellow-labourers in the gospel were engaged in the same way; and, for their labours in this cause, suffered long imprisonments, and other grievous persecutions, some of them even unto death. From that time up to the present, the history of the society of which I am a member affords ample proof of the zealous gospel labours of numerous Quaker missionaries. Many of this society are now thus engaged in various parts of the world. The name of Hannah Kilham, who went several times on a mission to Sierra Leone, is well known to the Christian and philanthropic public. the national sin of West India Slavery that, one of the candidates for the borough where he lived being a gentleman of the most decided anti-slavery principles, he sent word to his committee that, after deep consideration, he had come to the resolution of giving up all his little property to promote the return of this gentleman: this being the only channel through which he could contribute to the emancipation of the slaves. The next instance was that of four men, in the lower ranks of life, and Dissenters, who had unfortunately given some sort of pledge to a friend to vote for certain candidates. Having, however, discovered that these candidates were against the immediate abolition of slavery, and were for the consideration of "vested rights," (vested rights in the limbs of our fellow man!) they became extremely unhappy, and went in a body to their friend to say that they had but newly understood the principles of the candidates in this respect, and that, come what might, they could not and would not dare to bear any portion of the tremendous national sin of slavery. Accordingly, through considerable difficulties, they actually adhered to their principles, and voted for the antislavery candidates. My object is to provoke unto love and good works;" I will, therefore, pass over several passages of "R. S.'s" letter on which I might otherwise comment, and only notice one more mistake in it, which, probably, my manner of expression may have occasioned. I am no advocate for severe laws, but think that much less sanguinary laws than many of those in existence would more effectually accom- The third instance is one of a more exemplish the suppression of crime, and the refor-plary character than can easily be estimated mation of the criminal. Severe laws already by those who do not know the peculiar circumexist against the slave-trade, but they are very stances of the case. It is that of a small inoperative. At the same time, I feel no doubt general shop-keeper, in a village in the counthat such measures might be taken as would try, where the family residing at the hall, and prevent British subjects from supporting the possessing the land, were politically connected slave-trade in our own colonies; and that this with the slavery candidates for the county, is the first necessary step to the spreading of and ardently desirous of their success. The Christian truth in Africa. members of this family eagerly and confidently canvassed this man, whose business was greatly, if not almost entirely, dependent on their custom and influence. He told them that he could not vote against his principles, which agreed with those of the opposing candidates; and, especially, that on the subject of slavery, no argument or interest could make him uphold it even by a single vote. Being, however, extremely and repeatedly urged, he proposed to remain passive, which was unwillingly consented to by the family in question. On the second day, however, of the election, every vote becoming of urgent importance, he was sent for to the hall, and every argument and persuasion used to induce him to vote according to the politics of the family. Conscience, however, sustained him. He refused the offer of being sent in their carriage to the place of voting, and remained steady to his duty. May he, and all who have acted in like manner, not lose their reward! I do believe, most thoroughly, that nothing will effectually extinguish crime, and promote the good of mankind universally, but Christianity. But we must first "cease to do evil," then "learn to do well." If, while we are diffusing Christian knowledge and Christian principles, we are really doing the works of Satan, our labours will not promote the gospel. It is a truth too well known to every one acquainted with the history of European colonies, that almost without exception these colonies have been established in rapine and murder, and have been conducted so as to increase immorality amongst the native inhabitants, and to occasion "the name of God to be blasphemed among the Gentiles." If I have now made a sufficient atonement to injured charity, shown myself friendly to the spread of the gospel, and reconciled an offended brother, it will give me much satisfaction.

The cases which have happened to come within my knowledge have taken place in a limited circle, in the middle or lower ranks of life, and with a reference principally to the anti-slavery cause. The one was the case of a Dissenting Minister, in very narrow circumstances indeed, who kept himself entirely aloof from politics, but was so deeply impressed with tively considering it for some time, "Here," said he, "we have the true philosopher; here is penetration in the eye, and reflection in the forehead; here is cause, and there is effect; here is combination, there is distinction; synthetic lips! and analytic nose!" Then, turning to the portrait of the philosopher, he exclaims, "The calm, thinking villain is so well expressed, and so strongly marked, in this countenance, that it needs no comment." This anecdote Kant used to tell with great glee. EARLY TALENT OF MICHAEL Ar the age of fourteen Michael Angelo was placed with Ghirlandaio, who had the character of having envy in his disposition, which felt no pleasure in the most distant prospect of a rival; and from this circumstance Conclivi has asserted, that he reaped no benefit from his instructor. Whatever were the sources of his improvement, he rapidly surpassed his contemporary students, and adopted a style of drawing and design more bold and daring than Ghirlandaio had been accustomed to see practised in his school; and, from an anecdote in Vasari, it would seem Michael Angelo soon felt himself even superior to his master. One of the pupils copying a female portrait from a drawing by Ghirlandaio, he took a pen and made a strong outline round it on the same paper, to show him its defects; and the superior style of the contour was as much admired as the act was considered confident and presumptuous. His great facility in copying with accuracy whatever objects were before him, was exemplified in an instance that forced a compliment even His master being from Ghirlandaio himself. employed in S. Maria Novella, in Florence, Michael Angelo took advantage of his absence, and drew the scaffolding, the desks, the painting utensils and apparatus, and some of the young men who were at work, with so much correctness and ability, that Ghirlandaio, when he returned, was quite astonished, and said, it was rather the performance of an experienced artist, than of a scholar.-Duppa's Life of Michael Angelo.

You already know that, for two years previous to my application to you, was a severe sufferer from a pain at the chest, which, at times, was of so violent a nature that, in the hopes of getting ease, I was frequently compelled to lie down on the floor; these attacks were succeeded by sickness, and, after taking half a glass of some spirit, I obtained temporary relief. From the recommendation of one friend aud another, I was induced to try many things, but to no good effect. My breath at times was so greatly affected that I could scarcely move or walk. A medical gentleman told me that he could do no more for me than he had done; therefore the sincerity of my acknowledgment cannot be questioned.

I have been afflicted for tea years with an asthma, and strong billious affection, often attended with great vomitings of blood, scarcely an appetite, and reduced to the lowest ebb of existence. Having had all the best advice, with no beneficial effect, I at length fell within the channel of your fame, and procured a supply of the "Universals" of your agent, Mr. Pearson, at Hanley, which completely cured me, by taking eight to twelve pills a day, the extent of which was performed for less than ten shillings.
