In LoNDoN.-From expressions in several of
the journals we are led to infer that the gath

of some oi the speakers, who very needlessly
dragged in the anti-slavery question; and va
rous propositions more legitimately pertaining
TO the business OF the convention were dis
cussed with so much acrimony that the chair
may was obliged TO linterpose. The conveh-
tion broke up on the 9th Of August having
adopted various resolutions. A plan sugges-
ted for the formation Of "world's temper
ance union" but il seems to have fallen through
