ANTI-SLAVERY BAZAAR IN BRISTOL.
[[short line]]

The Bristol (England) Anti-Slavery Association has decided to prepare for holding the next Annual Bazaar in that city, early in April, 1862.

For some years past the sale of work and other articles, contributed by the friends of the slave on this side of the Atlantic, has taken place in Great Britain or Ireland, to avoid the heavy duty incurred by sending them to America.

The objects to which the proceeds will be applied are——the assistance of fugitive slaves, (many hundreds of whom yearly effect their escape into British territory,)——diffusing information on the subject of slavery——and aiding some who have nobly stood their ground in defence of freedom.

The attention of British Christians has so long been turned to the iniquity and horrors of the slave system, still existing in all their enormity, that it is believed when the ear is open to the cry of suffering millions, and to the still small voice, saying, "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them," many will give a hearty response to the invitation to do something for the enslaved.

Whilst earnestly desiring that the present melancholy conflicts in America may be overruled for the hastening of entire abolition, the Committee would remind their friends, that war and its attendant evils will probably affect the sum raised there for the cause, and render more needful the aid that can be afforded by this country.

Feeling that no effort must be slackened until the last fetter shall be broken, and the oppressed go free, the Bristol Anti-Slavery Association would earnestly solicit the kind co-operation of the friends of freedom by contributions to the Bazaar, and by securing a large amount of sympathy and help during the coming winter.

They would especially appeal to those who enjoy the liberty wherewith Christ makes His people free, to lend their aid in breaking the chains, which not only hold the captive in outward bondage, but to so large an extent, hinder the spread of the Gospel among the oppressed and their oppressors.

It is requested that contributions may be sent before the 20th of March to ladies whose names are annexed, and who will give further information if required.  They will also gladly receive donations from any who prefer the aiding the cause in a more direct manner.  

Early notice will be given of the exact time fixed for the Bazaar. 

It is requested that boxes from a distance may be sent to Mrs. H. BRITTAN, Chudleigh House, White Ladies' Road, Clifton, who should be informed by post of their dispatch.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
[[short line]]

NEW VOLUME. 
[[short line]]

On the 7th of September, The New York Weekly Tribune commenced the twenty-first year of its existence; The Daily Tribune being some months older, and The Semi-Weekly Tribune somewhat younger.  For more than twenty years, this journal has labored in what its conductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeavoring to meliorate the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote by all means the moral, intellectual and material advancement of out country.  It has aimed to be right rather than popular, and to espouse and commend today the truth the others may not be willing to accept till to-morrow.  In pursuing this course, mistakes have doubtless been made and faults committed; but, having in all things incited our readers to think and judge for themselves, rather than adopt blindly our own or others' conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim for this journal the credit of having qualified its readers to detect and expose even its own errors.  To develop the minds of the young by the most general, thorough and practical Education, and to encourage and stimulate Productive Industry, through free grants of Public Lands to actual settlers and cultivators, as also through the protection of immature or peculiarly exposed branches from too powerful foreign competition, are among the aims to which this journal has adhered through good and evil report, and which it steadfastly commends to American patriotism and philanthropy. 

As to the Civil War now devastating our country, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable then was ever before known——a Rebellion in the interest of the few against the many——a Rebellion designed to raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the chains of oppression.  Having done all we could without a surrender of vital principle to avoid this War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness, and long-suffering with which the Federal Government sought to avert its horrors, we hold it our clear duty, with that of every other citizen, to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with all our energies their efforts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and the supremacy of the Laws.  And, though the Rebellion has become, through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and spoliation, fearfully strong, we believe the American Republic far stronger, and that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure its overthrow.  But on all
[[/column 2]]

[[column 3]]
questions affecting the objects, the scope, and duration of this most extraordinary contest, we defer to those whom the American People have clothed with authority, holding unity of purpose and of action indispensable in so grave an emergency.

In a crisis like the present, our columns must be largely engrossed with the current history of the War for the Union, and with elucidations of its more striking incidents.  We shall not, however, remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Markets, &c., &c., which has already, we trust, won for The Tribune an honorable position among its contemporaries.  Our main object is and shall be to produce a comprehensive newspaper, from which a careful reader may glean a vivid and careful history of the times, not merely in the domain of Action, but in that of Opinion also.  As our facilities for acquiring information increase with years, we trust that an improvement in the contents of our journal is perceptible, and that, in the variety and fullness of intelligence afforded, we may still hope to "make each day a critic on the last."  In this hope, we solicit a continuance of the generous measure of patronage hitherto accorded to our journal.

THE SIXTEEN NEGROES IN ST. LOUIS.——In his recent lecture at the Smithsonian Institution, the Rev. Mr. Conway made the statement that when he saw Gen. Halleck's order for turning the sixteen slaves over to the Quartermaster to work until they had paid the Government for certain expenses, "clothing," &c., offering them meanwhile to any one who would prove a claim to them, he thought the bait too tempting for kidnappers, and resolved upon trying to raise enough to pay the claims for which the Government held them to labor, supposing that clothing, &c., could not be a very large sum.  He consequently wrote to Gen. Halleck, and found that the United States was holding these sixteen negroes at work for the following items:  The Missouri Republican's bill for advertising runaway negroes, $226 81; Jailor Roderman for jailing them, $320; rewards of slave-catchers for catching them, $80; Sheriff's fees, $80; CLOTHING FURNISHED NEGROES, $19 43!  TOTAL, $726 25.  Mr. Conway read the items from the accounts sent him from the headquarters at St. Louis.
