Lord Brougham occupied the chair , and in a . speech of great power , he reviewed the history of the anti- slavery movement , in this country , and paid a just and noble tribute to the labours of his illustrious contemporaries . He ¦ was followed "by Governor Hincks , of Barbadpes , " who furnished valuable testimony to the economical
results' of emancipation in the West India Islands . Mr . George Thompson then delivered an eloquent speech , in which he regarded the results of emancipation from a moral and religious point of view . The Rev . W . G .

servants at mops and fairs is detrimental to the interests of both masters and servants , and productive of great social evils .

tens of thousands . In the northern part of New Zealand they breed twice a-year , and have stooked tho province ofv Auckland 200 miles distant from the point where they were first sent adrift . In tho early part of this year I sent out 400 house and hedge sparrows and yeHow-hn'tnmers to Auckland ; and I hope next September to send out 400 singing birds to tho same port . Since I have boon in New Zealand I have imported into that colony no less than 144 , 000 English forest trees from England , wluoh have been planted from Invcreargill , the southernmost settlement in the south island , to tho northernmost part of the north island of Now Zealand . It la quite usolosa for emigrants to take any further trouble in , introducing the forest trees of England into Now Zealand , as they may obtain trees there of cuttings from tho produce of tho parent trees .

-- . NAPOLEON'S PACIFIC MEASURES . The Monitexir , of Wednesday , contains a note which refers to the Emperor ' s decree of the 27 th ult ., dissolving the army of observation on the Rhine , and next goes on to enumerate a series of exceptions , which seem to embrace the whole army . The divisions of infantry and cavalry assembled at the camp of Chalons , and those who compose the camp of Elfaut are to remain established , and nothing is to be changed at present as regards the other divisions which are in activity , and which formed part of the army of observation . The meaning is , apparently , that no other change is contemplated by the Emperor ' s decree , than that certain divisions cease to form part of the army of observation .
The Patrie says :- —" The ships of the Division Fourrichon , the armament of which has just been completed at Brestj are to be placed on a pied de Commission . It is further reported that the same order applies to four frigates and to the vessels of the squadron commanded by Admiral Bouet-Villaumez . " The crews are simply to be dismissed , and the shipsare to be laid in ordinary all standing . This is what the French call up the pied- de
comn . . The next day the Moniteur de la Flotle announced : " Orders have been given at the 'different ocean ports to proceed immediately with the disarmament of all vessels armed or in course of arming . These orders are already being executed , and the vessels which were in the roads ( en rade " ) have put back to the different por ts . The disarmament has also commenced at Toulon . Orders have been given to disband all sailors who have served five years . " It is necessary to set forth very clearly the : deceptive nature of a reduction of the French forces to a peace footing . A portion of the soldiers and
sailors—of the men who fight the battles and man the ships—are sent home on furlough , nothing more . And those who build and rig the ships , and cast the guns , it is not contemplated to diminish . As to the army we may recur to a piece of official information to the effect that the Minister of War had made arrangements by which at three weeks or some such short notice , 400 , 000 men might'bo called together for any emergency . The putting the army o \\ a peace footing , be it well understood , makes not the slightest alteration in that arrangement , and would not lengthen the time necessary for the operation by an hour . that unani
A Paris letter says : —The feeling - mously prevail among French officers is that war will break out within a twelvemonth . " We shall first go to the Rhine , " they say , " and then we shall have a slap at England . " The feeling is not , however , confined to the army ; and among the lower classes in Paris we are unpopular . Paris News . —It is said that intelligence of an intended demonstration of an unpleasant description has induced Louis Napoleon to forego his intention of heading the triumphal procession of his troops on the 14 th inst . lie will instead take his stand in the Pliice Venddme , and the army wili defile before him . The great question is still pending whether tho troops are to be entertained at a banquet monstre
in the Champs de Mars . It ) would be rather a curious sight to see 80 , 000 men sitting down to dine together , but nothing is yet decided . In the south of France anti-English demonstrations- are , I am informed , daily taking place ; tho police winking at these manifestations , which arc reported from Aix , Lyons , and Marseilles . The illness of Prince Jerome is serious enough to throw an impediment in the way of Prince Napoleon ' s journey to Vienna , to bring back tho relics of tho Due do Reichstadt , Tho embassy is now to bo confided to a commission , tho chief of which ia not yet named , but many think the choice will fall on Count Walowski , and there ia no more talk of the funeral , enr of the young Duke forming part of tho pageant of tho 15 th .
Victor Emmanuel And The Italians. Pursua...
VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE ITALIANS . Pursuant to tho convention of yillafmuca , Sardinia has been compelled to withdraw tho royal commissioners from Tuscany , Modena , and tho Legations . Addresses have been , and still continue , pouring in from every class , expressive of their devotion to Victor Emmanuel , and their determination to resist by force of arms any attempt at a restoration of their deposed princes . A species of convention has boon ontorod into by these provinces and Parma for their mutual defence , and 30 , 000 mon aro under arms , part of whom are to bo dotaohod to protect tho Legations against tho Pontifical troops , and part ivro to be concentrated at Modena , apprehensive of an
attack from Duke Francis V * This Prince is reported to-be meditating an invasion of his territory at the head of 7 , 000 men . At Modena , when Farini officially resigned his functions , all the municipal authorities and inhabitants assembled and entreated him to undertake the temporary direction of affairs as dictator . Farini accepted this charge , in order to maintain public order . At Turin the King has received Couut Reiset , special envoy of the Emperor Napoleon , for the pur - pose of bringing about the restoration of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and Modena . "Victor Emmanuel ' s departure for Milan is fixed for Sunday next . His Majesty will remain there a fortnight and will be accompanied by the ministers of state . Tlicniunicipality of Turin is preparing fetes for the 15 th August ! The Piedmontese Gazette publishes a decree relative to the erection—at the expense of the State— of a monument at Solferino , which will be a memorial of the victories of the allied armies , and a lasting testimony of the gratitude of the Italians to the French array , commanded by the Emperor . In Central Italy , the double movement of thearmaments and of political organisation continues , The Romagna , the duchies , and Modena , form a centre of four millions of inhabitants , who can conveniently place under arms in two months a force of 60 , 000 men . Such a force , though inadequate against an invasion of Austria , would be quite sufficient to resist the Duke of Modena , backed by the 10 , 000 men the Pope might bring forward . All the military movements now proceeding are distiar guished by calmness , order , dignity ; and it is . expected that the popular assemblies of the country will soon be united , in order to give to them the sanction of legality , and to place the Combined forces under the sole command of Garibaldi The Dirilto of Turin states that a deputation of Venetians waited on the 28 th ult . upon the French ambassador at Turin , to deliver an address to the Emperor of the French , in which it is declared that the Venetians protest against being left under the dominion of Austria , whether direct or indirect . It is stated that the son of the late Grand Duke of Tuscany , in whose favour the latter lias abdicated , intends , on re-entering on his estates , to decree a constitution " resembling in its principal features that which the Emperor Francis Joseph is disposed to accord to Vcuctia . " J From Bologna we learn that the Sardinian commissioners have remitted their authority to the Minister President of the Government , Colonel Citriani , who lias convoked the National Assembly .. The Marquis d'Azeglio has issued a proclamation announcing his recall , recommending the people to remain tranquil , and promising , in the name of King Victor Emmanuel , to employ every means possible ? to obtain the concurrence of the European governments for accomplishing their just and reasonable wishes . Perfect order prevails .

GARIBALDI . This distinguished general issued an order of tho day on the 19 th ult ., which said , " Whatever direction political events may takd Italians ought not , under any existing circumstances either to lay down their arms or feel any discouragement . On the contrary they ought to enlarge tlieir ranks , and show to Europe that , led by the valiant Victor Emmanuul , they are ready to encounter anew the vicissitudes of war , whatever complexion they way assume . " A second , proclamation to tho Central Italian States promises that thoir independence will bo fought for . This includes what hitherto was missed in Garibaldi ' s other publications—tho ftC " knowledgmont of a debt of gratitude to tho French Emperor and nation , and it winds up ' with the cry , " Italy and . Victor Emmanuel I " There is a rumour that a sqcret manifesto has been distributed throughout Lombardy proposing tlie ejection oi Garibaldi as dictator , which would immediately rally tho whole of Italy beneath tho banner of tho only chief accepted by all Ithliiuie— 'tho only one whoso disinterested patriotism has inspired confidence In all parties .
