At London, the white and eolored chil- dren all.attend the same schools, and there is no distinction made amongst them; the result is, that a more respectable commu- 'nity of colored people cannot be found in 'Canada. From thence we visited the Dawn Insti- tute, which school is in a languishing state. 'There is evidently something wrong here, Eyerything seems to be going down hill, so that it is, in fact, unworthy of the name of an Institution. The party that now have it in charge, are doubtless unable to carry it on with propriety. But we are told that its prospects ane soon to be revived, under anew board of managers, who have' not only the disposition, but the ability also, to make it just what it should be. God speed the day, for a more promising com- munity of colored landholders are seldom seen in any country than is to be found in the vicinity of Dawn, ' At Chatham they have a large school consisting of from 60 to 80 scholars. But unfortunately it is just like it is at Windsor, a colored school--a mark of prejudice: un- culled for by the Government under which we live and which has a tendency to per- petuate that prejudice against.color, that of the destroyer. Earth daily reverberates with the songs of ten thousand sons of Bacchus; but for every song thire arises ten times as many wails of anguish from those whose peace is thereby destroyed ; and hence, the musie of the footstool of the Divine, instead of harmonizing with the melody of the spheres above, is jarring and discordant, and cannot mingle with the good, the true, and the beautiful." The Chvistian Recorder --This is a weekly paper, just established in Philadel- phia (Pa.), by the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and edited by M. M. Clark. 1t supersedes the paper established by the prior General Conference, in Pittsburg Pa. This number is mostly occupied with the publication of the minutes of the last session of said Con- ference. It contains some dedicatory lines by the Right Rev. D. A. Payne, which, for poetic sublimity, and soul-stirring pathos, we have rarely if ever seen surpassed, We wishit the abundant success, it deserves, and which the organization that it vindi- cates is able to warrant, Sumndered Ties. has always kept our cluldren under the feet of the whites. The only difference between these schools is, that. the one at Chatham is supported by the Free Mission Baptist Society, while the one at Windsor is supported by the American Missionary Association. We are happy to be able to say that the Chatham school is well con- ducted by these 'devoted teaciers, who should be better compensated than they are, for we learn that they do not both together receive more than $160 from the above society. We must indulge in a single remark just here respecting an article which appeared in our columns a short time since with regard to the colored school at Windsor, and the support of its teacher. At this we understand, that there was an offence taken by Miss Shadd, (the teacher), where there was none intended by us. We heard her say that she 'was receiving " three york shillings, from each of her pupils per month," which sum was not enough to support ber from about 20 children, and after we learned that the -above society hid granted her the sum of $125, we thought that they did well, and we ven'ured to give publicity to the fact, for the encouragement of. out people in Windsor as they were entirely ignorant of it up to that time, so this was good news to them, and as our business is to give the news, and not knowing that she wished this information kept from the parents of the children, we gave publicity to it and for which Miss Shadd has said and written many things whieh we thik will add nothing to her eredit as a lady, for there should be no insult taken where there is none intended. ' Wudlications. Michigan Organ.--This is a weekly periodical lately commenced, published at the Pattison Printing House, Detroit, by H. 8. Decker and Co. It is devoted to the cause of 'Temperance in general, and the Maine Liquor Law in particular, Four numbers of it have come to hand, which are sufficient to convince us of the tact and ability of those who have the con- ducting of it. We subjoin an extract from the leading editorial, in the fourth number, on the traffic in ardent spirits as a spe- cimen of the spirit in which it writes truth: " Of all the evils that have ever festered at the heart of humanity, spreading a de- vastating influence over the face of the moral world,--this is one of the greatest. The legalized pouring forth of 'the dark beverage of hell" from tavern and dram- shop has caused more tears of anguish-- been productive of more misery and woe to.the inhabitants of earth, than aught else we can mention. Go to the prison-house and listen to the sad tale of the incarcerated Vielim, and there learn something of its in- humanizing effects. Go to the haunts of squalid poyerty--tfrom hearts where sorrow reigns supreme--from famished counte- mances,--from those in whose secial horizon the day-star of hope has sunk behind clouds of despair--clouds ever engendering more than wintry storms--stonms the rain- torrents of which are the scalding tears of Inillions of sufferers--whose thunders are the despairing groans swelling up from agonized hearts :--and there, too, behold its blightiny effects. Go, also, to the homes of respectability, where all of earthly trea- sures are found that are needed to make this temporal existence one of contentment and happiness, and there likewise the monster-serpent has strack his deadly fang, : and sad hearts moum the fall of some! cherished one, around whose very being! the arehfiend has enwreathed his slimy folds !-- Wherever, upon the face of Clu fendom, the casual observer may cast his | F 1 As the branches of iyy that twine around the same oak cluster and mingle their tendrils in their upward course, so, around the heart strings of those who loye and are loved again, weave silken, tender fibres, that combine the elasticity of the sapling with the strength of the full- grown "'monarch of the wood," and bind tovether the hearts that twine round with tender, yet indisgsoluble ties. In the common walks of life these ties are formed ; in the ordinary, daily inter- course of friends, they are' strengthened ; they are cultivated. and developed by an amiable action, a kind word, and a sunny sine. At first, they may indeed be weak,' faint imperceptible; but, as the flowers of Spring more fully develope in every balmy breeze, and every smile of the sun, so these ties, being fostered and cherished, increase ull they become the fondest light and the dearest solace of the heart, amid the cares and perplexities of a busy life. Buta destroyer comes. Perchance grim disease appears in hideous form, and pros- trates the form of the loved and loving one. And, as we bend over the couch, and minister to the wants of the dear one who is laid low--when hope has almost ceased to animate our hearts, anda fearful picture, that we dare not gaze upon, is forced to our view, oh! to what afearful the commodity less profitablethan gum or ivory, Ten years ayo, the duty paid at Assouan was 30 plastres for a negro and 5.) for an Abyssinian ; at present itis 8350 the former and 550 for the latter, while the tax can be wholly avoided by making the slave free. Prices have risen in conse- quence and the traflic is proportionately diminished. The Government probably derives as large a revenue as ever from it, on account of the increased tax so that it has seemed to satisfy the demands of some of the European powers by vestricting the trade, while it actually loses noting thereby. The Government slaye-hunts in th interior, however, are no longer carried 'on. , 'The greater part of the slaves brought here, are purchased from the Galla and Shongoilo the Shillooks and Dinkas, on the White Nile. The captives taken in the wars' be- tween the various tribes are invariably sold, The Abyssinian girls who are in great demand among the Egyptians, for wives, are frequently sold by their own parents. They are treated with great respect, and their lot is probably no worse than that ofan Arab or Turkish female. The more' beautiful of them often bring from $200 to $500, In fact, among the Mahommedans in general, marriage is always a matter of bargain and sale. Ordinary hotsehold servants may be had from one to two thou- sand 'piasters. My dragoman, Achmet, purchased a small girl the other day for 1,200, to be brought up in his household. He intends making her free, as he says this is a good thing, aveording to his relivion; but the thue reason, I suspect, is the tax at Assouan. . The Evyptians rarely maltreat their slaves, and instances of eruelty are much less frequent among them than among the Europeans settled here, The latter became so notorious for their violence that the government was obliged to establish a law forbidding any Frank to strike his slave ; but in case of disubedience, to send him before the Cadi, or Judge, who would decide on the proper punishment. With few exceptions, the Huropeans here are even worse than the natives. They have their harems, and practice every species of dissipation and debauchery. The German Priests here, under their most worthy Vicar, Dr, Knoblecher, are true representatives of the Huropean character and the European name, and their influevee will in time heal the baneful moral leprosy which has fallen on others. p The Egyptian merchants who are located here as agents for houses in Cairo, consider themselves as worse than exiles, and in- demnify themselves. by sensual indulgence tension, then these ties are driwn ! The death angel is near. Ilis white wings are spread over the cherished one ; and, with some faint token, perhaps a pres- sure of the hand, a.parting kiss, or a tender and confiding smile, to show that love is strong, even in death, the loved is taken from us--the last link is broken. \ Then, these ties are sundered. Rudely they are torn apart--and a bleeding, a well-nigh broken spirit only remains, Who, that has learmed this by sad experience--that has felt his heart wrung with anguish of such an hour, would have otherwise believed that so glorious and yet so fragile a thing as the human soul, could sutfer so much, and yet not be wrecked forever. There are few, very few whe know not, by their own, experience, the strength of such ties. Who has not, at some time, Hseen one dear to his heart by the ties of pature or affection, stretched cold and low in the tyrant's embrace? Who cannot recall tle time when he saw the cheek, whose flush of health and animation was once cheering to his heart, marble and icy ; and, weary and worn with grief, was almost ready toexclaim, "I will go and die with thee 2" : This, indeed, is a dark picture, and yet not over-colored. But there is a hue of sunlight that comes upon it, and its cheer- ing beams fall on the darkened spirit like oil on the troubled waters. Had we no cause to believe that these ties are broken only to be renewed, what a dark and fearful thought it would be ! But this is not so: . We have the full, the elorious assurance, that the bitterness of parting shall be assuaged--that the full fountain of joy shall be found, and these tender ties shall be re-united in a holier and a happier sphere. What a consolation for the mourners! What a hope for the departing ! Slavery in Soudan, Bayard Taylor, writing to the New York Tribune, from Khartoum in Soudan, Cen- tral Afriea, gives the following account of Slavery é , The traffic in slaves has decreased very much of late. The wealthy Egyptians still purchase slaves, and will continue to do so, till the "institution " is wholly abolished ; but the despotic rule exercised by the "ashain Nubia has had the effect of greatly Jssening the demand. Vast numbers of Nubians go into Egypt, where they -are envated as domestic servants, and their paid labor, cheap as itis, is found more pro- fitable than unpaid service of negro slaves. for being obliged to remain in a country which they detest. They live in large houses, keep their harems of inky slaves, eat, drink, and smoke away their languid and wearisome days. All they need, for such a life is so cheap, that their loye of gain does not suffer thereby. One of the richest merchants in the place gave me an 'account of his housekeeping. He has a large mud palace, a garden, and twenty servants and. slaves, to maintain which he spetids 8,000 piastres ($401!) yearly. He pays his servants twenty piastres a month, and his slaves also; at least so he told me, but Ido not believe it. | I have never yet seen the Arab who would give money away when, he could help it. Surer anp Woou.--The National In- telligencer contains an abstract of the sta- tistics of sheep and wool in the U.S. taken from the Census returns. From it, we learn that there were in our country, in 1850), 21,571,806 sheep, and that the crop of wool amounted to 52,417,287 lbs. Ohio raises the most sheep, having at that date about 3,937,086, New York stands next, hay- ing 3,454,241. Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana have each over a million. In New Envland, Vermont. is, by far, the greatest sheep-growing and wool-raising State. Her sheep are, in num- ber, 919,995. The wool produced is 3,410,993 lbs. Maine is next, and then New Hampshire--they both produce over a million of pounds of wool annually. Con- necticut has 174,18L sheep, and raises 497,454 lbs. of wool. A Curious Facr--The native popula- tion of the Sandwich Islands is decreasing steadily and fast, as we learn by a corres- pendent of the Journal of Commerce. " Not asingle instance," says the Historian Niebuhr, "can be produced of a really sayage people which has become civilized of its own accord; and, where civilization has been forced upon a' people from without, the physical deeay of the race ensued." Syvow Srorm iy June.--The Pittsburg Gazette states that a very severe storm was experienced off Seven Mile Island, in the Ohio, below that city, last week. Snow fell quite heavily for some time. ite" A manin Maine applied for two gallons of rum, for " mechanical purposes." " Por what mechanical purposes ?" inquired the agent. " For raising a barn," was the reply.

The negro sayes money (all negroes can save money) and invests it in land, in fact becomes a small proprietor ; and being his own, he cultivates this land very carefully, living on Jess than half the produce and finding a ready market for the rest. He gives no credit and so has no bad debts, but gets the money down. He wants no tea or coffee, and makes no dis- bursements like the white; but can-exist almost entirely on the preduce of his land. Thus, by small degrees, he hems in the large plantations, and becomes a Jarge landed proprictor. This is taking place not merely on one spot, but all over tlie island, 'lhe negro hates the white man, and anticipates with glee the time when, sooner or later the colony musé belong to the colored peoy'e. He monopolizes all the negro labor, and gets his work done in preference to the white planter, for these people are cunning enough to com- bine and to hang together. The grounds of the white planter lie uncultivated for want of laborers who will only wo:k for him at a ruinous rate, and the estate must fall, This the negro knows yery well, and waiting his opportunity, he, with the ready money, pounces on as much of the spoil as he can obtain, All this might have been avoided by preventing the negroes from holding land; then they must either have labored for the whites (at a far higher re muneration than any other peasanton earth can obtain), or have quitted the colony, which they know better than to do.
