Se ey From the Herald of Freedom, "CIRCULAR, : The Book Committee of the African Me- thodist Episcopal Church Book Concern, have according to the authority given them by the last General Conference secured an act of incorporation from the State of Penn- sylvama, by which the same has become a body politic in law. The said Committee have agreed to cele- brate that event in the city of Philadelphia, commenting on the third Tuesday in Sep- tember, 1855, to continue for several days. You are hereby most respectfully invited to be present on that occasion, and to take part in the exercises. We request of every Minister having a charge, that he will take up a collection, as a free-will offering, on the occasion, for the benefit of the Concern, from the good peo- ple--which shall be called "The Lord's _ Free Will Offering, for the benefit of the ™% 'General Book Concern of the African Me- thodist Episcopal Chnrch;" and that he will _ attend the celebration and present the same, |° or else send it to us, to be presented in his name, and the name of his charge. _ Yours, in behalf of the Committee of the African Methodist Episcopal Book Concern.

The British Government have finally de- elded.on raising a legion from among the sturdy population of the North American Co- lonies. 'The thing can be easily done if the right men are set about the business, and a reasonable good bounty be offered for re- eruits.. The appointment of the Duke of Cambridge, the hero of Inkermann, to the command will be highly complimentary to the country. We find the following state- ment in reference to the subject from the London Morning Post. From the London Morning Post. " It gives us much satisfaction to announce that the failure of the attempts which have been,made to raise a foreign Legion in Bri- tish North America, has at length induced Her Majesty's Government to give a cordial response to the Joyal offers of the Canadian people. It is intended to raise two battalions in Canada--a force consisting of two thou- sand eight hundred men. We believe that the regiment will bear the name of the " Royal British North American Regiment," and that the colonelcy in chief will be given to His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam- bridge. 'I'he commissions will be conferred upon Canadian gentlemen, or officers set- tled in the province, and the corps therefore will be national. It will be composed of men of British and French orgin, and it will be a_representative of the two great Powers who are now battling side by side in the Crimea. The numerical strength of sucha corps is nothing in comparison with the moral effect which its embodiment will naturally produce. It is only due to the gallant gentleman who_ now so worthily fills the office of Prime Mi- nister in Canada, to say that he has brought toa satisfactory termination the negotations with the Imperial Government on the'subject, in spite of official routine and that vapid ignorance which hitherto have ignored the loyalty and devotion of the colonists of Bri- tish North America." x Equinoctial Storm. 'There was a tremendous gale from the North East with rain yesterday. We fear that many vessels will have suffered from its violence. 'Che Propeller St. Lawrence, from Chicago, bound to Montreal, laden with wheat, was driven ashore about 9 o'clock a.m, at Niagara, just below Fort Mississauoua. Assistance was promptly ren- dered te the crew by the inhabitants, and by the Life Boat from Fort Niagara, which was ut out to assist them, and they were all landed safely ashore.. The vessel does not appear to be damaged, but is full of water. Niagara Mail. 'Heartless Villiany. We are again under the necessity of ad- ding the perpetration of another robbery to the long list of burglaries which have been committed in this city within the past ten days, notwithstanding the vigilance of the police and, it is to be presumed, the increas- ed watchfulness of housekeepers, which re- sulted fromour frequent warnings. A bro- ther and sister named Harris (both deaf and dumb) reside on Talbot Street, and through unwearied industry and sobriety they ma- nage to earn a comfortable livelihood by tail- oring, On Saturday night about 11 oclock one'of the bedroom windows was forced open while they were asleep and their boxes were rifled of their contents.

WoWi1L- SON'S, King St. East, Chatham, rear of Smith's Grocery ; that's the place; he'll accommodate you most satisfactorily." 'Well, how is your judgment in regard to the quality of boots and shoes?" " Most excellent--l'm an old boot and shoe maker; many are the days that I've drawn the cords. 2 "Where did you say I could find him?' " Why, in the rear of Smith's Grocery, King Street Hast; any person can tell you." " Will you conduct me there?" ~ "T will with pleasure; for know him to be, from-experience, one of the best manufacturers of BOOTS AND SHOES in town. His stock is of his own maunfacture, and he has always on hand a superior quality for gentlemen's wear. He's also very particular in getting up his work; so.I'm confident he can't fail to give reasonable satisfaction to those who favor him with their patronage." "There are some bout makers whose werk is beautiful to the eye, but plaguy pinching to the feet; and I have lumps upon each instep, which in foul weather give me excruciating pain." "" Ab, yes, too much have I suffered by fetters from the boot moulders hands ; but he's not one of them; he endeavours to make a sys'ematic fit, measuring from joint to heel, and from lump to toe--closely observing the nrost minute protuber- ance, if there be any upon the feet; and he sel- dom fails to make his boots set as easy thereon as a glove upon a lady's tender finger. Besides, he always keeps a superior stock on hand; perhaps you might obtain a pair upon the instant, that would fit your feet and please the eye." : "Then I must try him." "Try him, of course, and you'll save at each end of your bargain. First--you'll buy cheaper --secondly, your boots will wear you longer." " Come, let's go." "Ym ready--Are you a cash man?" - 'Yam; for he who pays cash clips the dis- count of credit, and secures it in his own pocket." "Then that's the place, for his motto reads'-- Ask of me no trust, when you come to buy; Ask of me no-trnst, for you T must deny ; Ask of me no trust, it hath destroyed many; Ask of me no trust, I cannot grant you any; Ask of me no trust, but with your cash rally ; Ask of me no trust, nor with my pocket dally.

ROM information received from reliable sources, we learn that parties are at present in Toronto, endeavouring to induce colored persons to go to the States in their employ as servants. From the character of the propositions, there is reason to believe that "foul play" is intended. Possibly, that Constable Pope's designs on the fugitives and others are being carried out. Individuals have proposed to women to go to Detroit to live in their service, and another party under circumstances of great suspicion, to a boy to go as far South as Philadelphia. We say to our people, lisen to no flattering proposals of the sort. 'You are in Canada, and let no misplaced confi- dence in this or the other smooth-tongued Yan- kee, or British subject either, who may be mer- cenary enough to ensnare you into bondage by colfusion with kidnappers in the States, deprive you of your liberty. Many free colored persons--men, women, aad children, are annually sold into hopeless slavery from having been kidnapped, or by ar- rangement made with the victims themselves to enter service at a distance from their homes. From travellers South, we hear of kidnapped children from Philadelphia and other cities in the slave pens of Baltimore and other slave-trading towns. Read the captivity of Solomon North- rup, a free man, who entered into just such an arrangementas colored citizens of Toronto are now asked to de, and who has to lament 12 years of captivity, from which his release was more improbable than its continuance; and all the re- sult of listening to fair offers of excellent pay and easy position trom rogues. This everlasting going whining after the flesh pots--this going to the States during the summer to pick up the crumbs that fall from Yankee tables, though ina pecuniary poiut profit :b'e for the time being, possibly, is on the whole most humiliating, if not, as we believe it to be, direct encouragement to those prowlers about of the Pope class to prosecute their nefarious business. Think of it men and women, who eschew a re- spectable life, of toil though it be, under this free government, to gain dollars in the United States at the expense of your and your children's liberties, by encouraging them to enter into a like course of pursuits, and so risk}their freedom. Is there not enough ot the love of liberty, and of manly dignity, to grapple with whatever. difficulties may present themselves here, though toil and care attend your efforts, without forever running such risks for the small return of a few extra dollars ? ~_ We hope that this subject may receive the at- tention its importance demands, and that the people may be warned by preachers and the press nufacturing, at the above establishment, 58.
