from tlio Kev. l>r. Crier of Krakinc College, oy

Young Mvti'.s Christian Ajweiation of thia
place. Tlio Add recti was delivered in that calm
and dispassionate ?tylo, which befits llic discission
of a philosophic theme, and was cliarao- ,
teli/.ed by that precision of thought, a|>|>o;?itc- j
ntfr-s of illustration, and felicity of diction, for j
which the speaker is distinguished.
Uy way of introduction, he first considered !
the character of the external evidence, which '
is adduced in support of Cliri. Hanity. This;

In the diHciifsion of tho.?uhjccl of miracles,

difficulties involved, which the profound intellect
ofBidlcr lias failed to elucidate. Wlmt
is a Mirnclc ? To define it, as something contrary
to Katurc seems to involve the same
absurdity, as to predicate of the Divine being
some quality which' would be inconsistent
with the Divine attributes. "Truth is Catholic
and Nature one." To say that a miracle is
something super-natural, resulting either from
the direct interposition of Almighty ^J'owcr, or
through the agency of laws hilherlo-unknown,
still loaves the difficulty unsolvKd, of obtaining
that te-'l, which Khali indicate the presence
of the Divine ai'i'tn'V. The facL of iL-i Lrnns- '

The Cotton Agitation in England. !
The people of Kiigland seem to he all alive j
to the importance of encouraging (lie growth j
of cotton in the British Colonic?, particularly j
in India, with a view to relieve themselves of j
tlicir present dependence upon the United Slates;
and tlicir jo uruals still continue lo record the
proceedings of meetings of the "Cotton Supply
Association*' held for this purpose. Mr. ?T.
15. Smith, the ]'arlian\?plary representative of
this Association, has recently made a speech in i
the llousc of Common*, in which* he main- j
tains that a single district in India is capable
of supplying three or four times the quantity !
of cotton required for the consumption of the !
whole world ; that it is owincr to the 11 eel eel t
of t lie Kasl India Com pan}', tlmt the cotton
fields of Herar, arc not supplying llic world
with tlio grcatstnplc at two nml a half pcncc
per pouml. Thin charge was replied to by $!''
Manglcfs the Chairman of the East India
Company, who, whilst admitting the natural
capacity of India for the production of cotton,
and promising the support of tho Company to
any measure for securing that result, urged
tliul the people of Manchester should hear the
chief weight of the cost, as they would derive
the chief benefit ol a successfubresult from the

Tlio great obstacles, liowcvcr, wlii.1i stand
in llic wny of a successful cultivation of the !
great eta]ilc in India, are thus summed up in
the following extract from the Journal of C'iUiimrrec.
Ami until tliene difficulties arc overcome,
all tlm proceedings of llic Cotton League
will amount to nothing ; and the supply of
cotton must be derived whcncc it nlonccau be
had, and be regulated by those fixed law.",
which neither Parliamentary debates, nor publie
meetings can alter or contravene :
In the first place, the entire system of land j

of cotton on a large scale. In refer- j
cncc to this branch of thesubjeet, Lord Stan

the highest judicial dignitavf<o*in "India,) and ]
Mr. l>anl?y Seymour, ppoko in the course of :

difficulties in the vmy- of the change were I
very great, and could not be overcome without

Tho Importation oI Free Laborers from Africa.
QmH-c?nlcrentin~ debates have recently lalccu
placo in tho JSritisli Parliament, on tlie subject
of the importation of free labors from Africa,
into liritidi Government, 'i'lie neec-soily ?l
t.onie sncli means to obviate the di.-astrous re
suits of negro emancipation in tlie West Indies;
an well an to furnisii a supply of cotton, it
some pot lion of nor colonial possessions,, l?fli
for sonic time past, been prc....-in'? upon tliV
public mind of Great Dtilain. The want o
labor lias been the ijrcat obstacle to t'te pro
J notion of cotton and sugar, and tlie ;;rca
problem to bo solved, was as to the means o
furnishing the requisite supply. From tin
statement.; mailo in the course of the debate
it wouKl seem that the importation of coolie,
front India, into llio Mauritian had been attend
ed with an enormous increase in tho prodm-lioi
of that colony, and with a liij-h .-.tale of com.c
quenlJproMperity; but the geographical Jtuatioi
of the West Indies J reeludes it from obtaining :
supply of labor from" the same source. Tli
scheme of-"oJb tabling free labor from Africa, i:
th(j opinioii of Mr. babouchcre was cntirol;
impolitic, 51* not impracticable. The cxperi
incut had hitherto failed, and in his view vvoith
dead to all tho honors of intestine war and ai
internal slave trade. In tliis opinion tlic lead
ing members of llic British Parliament seem li
linvc concurrcd.
Tlic Ja> ml on Times in the following cxtract
attempts l?? meet this view t>f the <ptcslion, am
to prove that the emigration scheme wouK
not inerease existing evils, whilst its policy
wouM be justified by the peculiar adaption o
African labor to the culture of tropie.il pro
<lu<-tn. The argument wc regard as entirely
inconclusive, and think that it would bo ai
easy task to show, that Ihe emigration sclicm
would be productive of incomparably great?
evils than could possibly attend the leviva
of the slave trade:
AVhat is the obstacle in the way? The dis
tam-e. If the West Indies, said Mr. Labouchero
had not enioved the same mlvniiln<'.?i n.
Mauritius, iL was "'owing to their ireoirraphica
position in relation to the source of the suppb
of labor not being so favorable." ]5ijt i; then
only one source? Is not Africa as populous ii
many pai ls as India? is il not as convoni
cnlly situated in regard to the West Inilies, a
India is with regard to the Mauritius? Ami
alntcc all, (iiV not Afrtrans /ii'criiiiiUiii/ii Ji'iu

these questions must be answered in the allirui

the Inst of laborers. We are driven, therefore
to seek elsewhere for reasons against the pro
eeedin.tr, and such arguments were produced bj
Mr. Labouchere in the debate, and will b<
found embodied in a letter from Mr. M. Foster
which we publish to-day. According to the-i
views, the condition of tlie native Africans i:
such.that to go to the corl with a demand foi
their services would infallibly generate a sys
tem of kidnapping iu the interior of the c.un
try ; and, in fact, as far as Africa is concerned
would revive the slave trade, and destroy th<
more legitimate pursuits which the partial re
pressionof this trade had suffered t.o spring up

compass of the controversy very conveniently
narrowed. It is not alleged lliat 1 lie positioi
of the negro, oncc landed 111 Guiana or Jamaica
would be otherwise tlian good, or lhat hi:
rights as a free laborer on ISrilMi territory
could not be cfl'eetually secured.. All that !.
said is that he could not be procured on lh<
shores of his birth without giving occasion t<
fearful wrong. A-i to his freedom, regarded 11
the abstract, there is hardly room for di-eus
sioii about it. Willi fit" rw/.Hons, tin- tritn

but if a demand wore made for iliem, tlioi
kings or masters would instantly sell tliem
and then resort to war to procure others, wl?<

conscqucnce of such a system would be tin
revival of the slave trade atrocities in the li r.<
stage. The horrors oj //?. juUhVc jhiwiic roit/ti

?1? > " - " ' -
cuii mime u ui'iuir imnK 01 n i>y selling then
outright, they will infallibly (lo no, ami stca
otlictfi to keep the supply. Swell, as we under
stan?l it, is tlic ease of those who, like our cor
respondent, arc averse to ilie proposed systen
of supplying our colonics with free labor Iron
Africa. cUpon
this reasoning wc can only obscrvi
that, whereas the untie!paled adiumtai/rs are, <t
icc have K/ioicii, cnoriHouxly fli'cal, the ajt/irehcud
ed evils arc certainly soiucirhut circnmscrif/'.d
As regards tlic negro himself, it is hardly pos
sil>le to dony that under proper supervision //
\oonld he far better off in a liritish coloiii/ thai
he is al home under the rule of a master, who
as our correspondent admits, could and would,
if thwarted or offended, whip him or 8tnrv<
him into submission, or even murder him out
right. Such conditions of servicc would certainly
bo well exchanged for those under whicl
uie uooiica ol tlic .Mauritius realize freedom
and independence. All that is dreaded is Ilia!
these petty kings, if once they get an onpor
tunity of shipping their subjccU bo kindly ai
to forsake other occupations for that of mau
stealing.
We will not here --inqniro whether such pro
Ccnsities could be encountered by any checks
ut will accept the argument on its owi
grounds. Oruntal that a demand for negro,
will generate intestine tears in Africa, doea no
fiiich be: mad exist now ? Whence eonio th<
thousands of slaves yearly landed in Cuba
find the thousands who die on "the passage!
And what i'b the eflfefcCof such an exportation i
Clearly, thi* intexliiie tear tmt*l be. prevailing n.
