vestment, have lost most of their interest. In Liverpool on Monday Canon M'Neile showed some teat in getting a host of sympathizers with the military massacres to listen to a speech advocating a very moderate resolution approving of inquiry, which was at length carried, chiefly because those who "prejudged the case' in favour of Mr. Eyre found they could vote for it. In Exeter Hall on Tuesday everybody who spoke spoke from a strong feeling of sympathy with the negro population of Jamaica, and almost every one except Mr. Arthur and Mr. Newman Hall spoke unwisely. Mr. Chamerovzow, as usual, did all the harm to his cause of which it is susceptible from weak and injudicious zeal. If the negroes would but subscribe for a retiring pension for Mr. Chamerovzow they would find the money well laid out. Is not Mr. Charles Buxton on the Council of the Anti-Slavery Society? He at least knows how to state a case with moderation and effect. Why does he not try to reform the organization of these amiable but mischievous philanthropists?
