Archbishop Wiutely and Mlts. Beeciier. Stowe. — Archbishop Whately has written to Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, telling her that those in England who do not sympathise with the party of the North in America have as much dislike to slavery as she herself can have ; but they understand that the war is waged, rot for the abolition of slavery, but for the restoration of the Union, and they think that the Southerners have a right to claim their independence. He recommends for the safe and effectual emancipation of the slaves the plan of Bishop Hinds, that there be an ad valorem tax upon slaves, their value to be fixed by the owner, and that the Government have the option of purchasing their freedom at that price. He fears, however, that the time is gon« by for trying this experiment in America
