The abolition of the slave trade by Great Britain was celebrated in this city on Monday last, by the African Abolition Freehold Society, in a very creditable manner. Religious services were performed in the church in Belknap-street, and an address delivered on the occasion by the Editor of the Liberator. The day was remarkably fine, and we have rarely spent one more happily. At 3 o'clock, a large and highly respectable company sat down to a liberally provided dinner at the house of Mr. << Primus Hall>> , who distinguished themselves for propriety of demeanor, gentlemanly manners, and unbounded kindness.

To the senit & House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachsetts bay in General Court assembled Feb. 27, 1788. The Petetion of a great number of Blacks, Freemen of this Commonwealth Humbly sheweth that your Petetioners are Justly allarmed at the enhuman & cruel Treatment that three of our Brethren, free cetysons of the town of Boston, lately received. The Captain under a Pertence that his vessel was in Destress on an island in this [ ] got them on board, put them in irons & carried them off from there Wives & Children to be sold for slaves. This being the unhappy state of these poor men, What can your Petetioners expect but to be served in the same manner by the same sort of men, And what then are our lives & Liberty worth if they may be taken away in such a cruel & onjust manner as this? May it please your Honners we are not onsenceable that the good Laws of this State forbedes all such Base axcons, notwithstanding we can assure your Honners that many of our free Blacks that have entered on bord of vessels as seamen, have been sold for slaves. Some of them we have heard from, but no not who carried them away. Hence it is that many of us, who are good seamen are obliged to stay at home through fear, & one half of their time lorter about the streets for want of imploy. Whereas if they were protected in that lawfull calling they might get a handsome livelihood for themselves & others. Which in the settuation they are now in they cannot. One thing more we would beg leave to him. That, is that your Petetioners have for some time past Beheld with grief ships cleared out of this harbour for Africa & there they steal, or cause others to steal our Brethren & sisters, fill their holds full of unhappy men & women crowded together, then set out to find the best market, & sell them there like sheep, & then return here like honest men after having sported with the lives and liberties of their fellow men & at the same time call themselves Christians. Blush, O Heavens at this! These our grievances we cheerfully submet to your Honners without dictating in the least, knowing by experience that your Honners have done, and we trust ever will do, us that justice that our Present condition requeirs, as God & the good Laws of this Commonwealth shall dictate you & as in deuty bound your Petetioners shall ever pray.

THE COLLEGE.

Pursuant to a notice published in the Liberator, October 28th, a meeting was held at the African School Room, on Monday evening, Nov. 7th, on the subject of the College, proposed by the Philadelphia Convention. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Samuel Snowden; after which, Mr. << Primus Hall>> was called to the Chair, and Mr. J.T. Hilton appointed Secretary. The meeting was addressed by several gentlemen, among whom were Messrs Hall, Roberts, Barbadoes, Putnam, Cole and Cutler, Mr. Remond of Salem, and the Rev. Mr. Snowden, all of whom were in favor of the establishment of the Institution herein spoken of. The company were also happily favored with the presence of the venerable Richard Johnson of New-Bedford.

The proposition of the council of the 28th ult. to form a State Society, to raise funds in aid of the said Institution, as requested in the proceedings of the Convention, was by a vote unanimously accepted. It was also voted, that notice be given through the Liberator, inviting the several towns throughout the State to send one or two delegates to unite in forming a Society in aid of the aforesaid object, which meeting will take place at the African School Room on Tuesday, the 29th inst. at 7 o'clock, P.M.

Voted, That the agents of the Liberator, residing in this State, be requested to make these proceeding known, and to exert their influence in impressing upon the minds of the people the importance of the object.

It is hoped that an object fraught with so much good to the colored population of America, will not otherwise than arouse the sleeping energies of their souls, promptly to lend their aid and influence wherever they may be; and to endeavor to enforce upon each other's minds the many advantages to be derived from the establishment of an Institution like that in contemplation, whose effect upon long rooted prejudice will be like the playing of the Summer's sun upon an icy substance.

Voted, That Messrs Garrison and Knapp be politely requested, by the Secretary, to give publication to these proceedings, for three weeks in succession, in their useful paper.

J.T. HILTON, Secretary.

For the Liberator.

On the evening of the 28th Oct. pursuant to previous agreement, a meeting was held by several gentlemen at Mr. George Putnam's, for the purpose of holding a council on the subject of the contemplated College for the descendants of Africa, as proposed by the colored Convention, convened at Philadelphia on the 11th of June last. Accordingly, Mr. << Primus Hall>> was called to the chair, and Mr. J.T. Hilton appointed Secretary. The chairman having called the meeting to order, and the object of which being fairly stated, Mr. Thomas Cole entered into a cursory view of what he conceived to be of high importance to the colored citizens of Boston, and, as he thought, greatly commanding their deepest interests. After listening to these interesting remarks, the following resolutions were offered, and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That a public meeting at this period, in our opinion, is of an essential consequence to our brethren of this metropolis; and in conjunction with this view, we do hereby respectfully invite our colored brethren to a meeting to be held on the 7th day of November, at the African school room in Belknap-street, at 7 o'clock, P.M. there to adopt such measures as may in their wisdom be deemed expedient in relation to the formation of a colored State Convention.

Punctuality is particularly desirable by the aforesaid Council, whose several signatures are as follows:&#151 << PRIMUS HALL>> , PETER HOWARD, PETER SMITH, THOMAS DALTON, THOM-AS COLE, GEORGE PUTNAM, HENRY THACKER, JOHN T. HILTON.

Voted, That a copy of the proceedings of this council be presented to Messrs Garrison and Knapp by the Secretary, with a request to insert the same in the next paper issued from their press.

In behalf of the council,

J.T. HILTON, Secretary.

A FUNDAMENTAL ERROR. The last Religious Intelligencer contains a protracted article in favor of the Colonization Society, from which we select this sentence:

'The whole strength and burthen of the opposition offered to this benign scheme is reducible to its youth, and the necessary tardiness of first beginnings.'

Here is an important mistake. The scheme is supported by popular prejudice and by the advocacy of principles which are explicitly unchristian and anti-republican; hence arises the opposition to it. The inefficiency of the Society is its least objectionable feature.

Pursuant to a notice published in the Liberator, October 28th, a meeting was held at the African School Room, on Monday evening, Nov. 7th, on the subject of the College, proposed by the Philadelphia Convention. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Samuel Snowalen; after which, Mr. << Primus Hall>> was called to the Chair, and Mr. J.T. Hilton appointed Secretary.
