He would there fore move for the printing of the same, which was Ordered ac-. FOrdingly. The first Report of the Commissioners upon.the Charitable and other Institutions for the Education of the Poor, was pre tented at the Bar by Mr:Carlisle, and ordered to be, primed.

Mr. Mame, from the East India House, presented a copy of the Resolutions of the Court of Directors, respecting Granb, Annuities, and Pensions, in the last year, pursuant to Act of Parliament...LW upon the table. Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark, in Commonliallassembled. This Petition prayed that some amendments may be made in the Act; known by the name of Lord Iledesdales Att. To siss pastille of this Act be had bete ; an sonless contributor, tholigh, with many others at the time the measure was meant but Us species of experimer.t, to which subsequent improvements might be made.—The Petition was. then read, and ordered to lie on _ . the table. The Noble Lord next presented a I : etitioa from Debtors ebb. fined in the Jail of lichester, in the County of Somerset. •Its prayer was for the renewal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, or the adoption of some other measure to the-s.une general effect, and Thiel% may meet the exigency of the case. Ills Lordship then presented a third Petition on the same sub ject, which was from the Inhabitants of Aldgete Ward, in the City of London, praying the Ilo,use that the Insolvent Act may not be permitted to expire, but that such amendments may be made therein as might afford due protection to the creditor from the practices of fraudulent debtors, fitt.—Tiaese Petitions being read, were ordered to lie on the table, The Earl of DARNLEY, seeing a Noble Earl in his place, expressed his wish to be informed if it were likely the Conven tion with tie United States of America would soon be laid be ,fore _ _ _ tke Houk? The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied in the affirmative. BRITISH NEORb SLAVES. Lord HOLLAND, in pursuance of Alm notice he had given, rose to call the attention of the House to the measures which had been adopted by. the Colo nial Legislatures, in consequence of the Address of that Hoase, in June, 1816. Though he did not an ticipate any objection to the motion he intended to' l make, he thought, from what had already passed respecting the Colonial regulations, both in that House and elsewhere, to make a few observations on 'that subject. Their Lordships would recollect, that the Address of 1816 arose out of the very unfortu nate transactions which hao occurred in the Island of Barbadoes. It was the great object of that Ad-. dress to induce the Colonies to, adopt' the measures calculated to prevent the recurrence of such onfor tunate events. The Address accordingly expressed a wish that his Majesty's Government would recom inencl.so the Colonial Governments the carrying into execution some measures fur preventing the illegal importation of Slaves, and for the improvement of those already existing in the Islands. With regard to the first object of the Address, he was happy to learn that measures had been readily adopted by all the Islands for its accomplishment. If any delu sions and alarms on the subject of the Address had existed, they had been dissipated the temperate and judicious conduct of the Legislatures of the dif ferent Islands, He should, therefore, say no _more on that part of.the subject, but with respect to the other objects of the Address, he thought some ob servations necessary. The result of the Measures adopted for the moral and religious instruction of the Negroes did not appear, so far as he was in formed, as satisfactory as those which under the name of Register Acts, atc. had been carried into effect to prevent the illegal importation of Slaves' from Africa. He was, however, happy to say, that the Colonial Legislatures had shewn no indifference to this important part of the recommendation When considerable pecuniary sacrifices were made, in order to attain an object, it was surely to be pre sumed that those who made them were sincere.— Confining himself to the Island of Jamaica, he had to state, that an Act had been passed there about a year and a half ago, to provide for the appointment of twenty Curates to give religious instruction to the Negroes, at the rate of eSOO currency each. It had been found, however, that this sum was not sufficient to induce the necessary number of respectable Cler gymen of the Church of England to' go from this country and undertake the task. But whatever de fect there might be in this measurer he saw .no rea son to impute it to any unwillingness 9r w ant of zeal in the Colonial Legislatures. It had found, as he had said, impossible to procure Clergymen, re gularly educated for the Church of England, in clined to go to the West Indies at the salary offered, and he knew not what farther measures had been adopted by the House of Assembly of Jamaica to obviate that objection; but experience had shewn that persons educated in a higher sphere of life were seldom so successful in communicating religious in' struction to men in the unfortunate situation of Slaves as humbler instruments—Wear, doing full justice to the House of Assembly for the motives which had induced the passing of the Aet for appointing Curates, it at the same tune ought not to be disguised, that some Acts framed in avert different spirit had' been passed—he meant those against the influx of Missionaries, which placed in.„ the hands of the Colonial Government a power in consistent with those principles of religious liberty which, in his opinion; ought al*ays to be held sa cred. However, tvhen even in thit House, in che Legislature of this country, he could find but r paratively few persons disposed to• ciples so far as he was, he could r conduct of the Representatives pausing those laws, could, ground for impeaching their . mace had proved the adva was in a humble situation religioui instruction% to tha coninieod the ensploymist • • he tkosOght no objection could be maintained— meant the Moravian Brethren.. He widled that Colonial Assemblies had given more liberal encou ragement to Missionaries ; but at any rate he hoped they itould avail themselves of the assistance of the worthy men of the Sect to which he had alluded.-- According to the plan originally adopted for the pro. ,pagadon of Christianity in North America, an esta blishment was made, not only for Curates but for Schoolmasters.. He should ' think that this plan could be adopted with great advantage in Jamaica and the other Islands, and that Missionaries front the Mora vians, or other Sects, might *be appointed Schee& mastery. fn making,the recommendation contained ' in the'Address, for the general improvement of the Negroes, their Lordships certainly did not confine their views to mere physical comforts. The supply of Negroes from Africa being tut off, the Black po pulation pf the West India Islands were placed in a situatign in which they must necessarily make great ineproirement. The ColoniSts, doubtless, looked for wardiltr this' insprievermene ,but a; the same time it was 'natural, in their situation, that they should exer cise such caution with respect' to the• measures they were led to adopt in the different stages of irs pro- Conciliatiens, on all there subjects, was the I duty of the British Parliament ; what ideas he threw out, therefore, were merely by way of recommenda tion. Many were of opinion that no further im provement could be shade in• the condition of the West India' Slaves,stntil they had acquired a greater degree of religious instruction; he was therefore in-, duced to propose a plati embracing that object.- 7 -- All,colonial proprietors or agents were now com pelled by lawao register the number and the ages of the negroes on their respective estates. He would propose that in this register there should•besides be added, the number of the negroes . whe had been baptized, and arrived at the possession of a compe tent knowledge of the Christian religion. As there was a deficiency of regular Clergymen, chi% register might be made on the certificates of 'Moravian bre thren. All the negroes thus proved to have attained to a competent religions knowledge, he would admit to give evidence in Courts of Justice. The Right 'Reverend Prelate who had shewn so laudable an anxiety for the improvement of the Negroes, would, be trusted, give his snpport ro a measure of this sort. When that Right Reverend Prelate saw that tempo nel inducements were requisite to procure Clergymen to preach the Gospel, he could not think it improper that such inducements shculd be held out to the Negroes to become Christians. . Such inducement was the more necessary, when the manner in which , the question of conversion to Christianity presented itself to the mind of the Slave when recommended to him by those who bad auth ority over him. It al ways appeared to him, that his master has some , palish view in the recommendation. On the con nary, if he found that a knowledge of Christianity gave him importance among his companions, he would be eager to obtain it ; for, notwithstanding the degraded state into which the original sjn of the LAfrican Slave Trade had plunged these unfortunate, beings, they still possessed the ambition of distin lguisrring them:elves. The right thus acquired would 'also be to the advantage of the master; and it was to be presumed that every person of that class, of a well-constituted mind,, vould be proud to see the number of Negroes, so marked by moral and reli gious improvement, increase " on his estate. Such conduct -would cement die union which ought to' subsist between the peaks. The Slave would not consider the distinction he acquired' as a conquest from the master, nor would the mastei be jealous 'of its enjoyment by the Slave. He again wished it to be understood, that what he stated was merely in the nature of a recommendation. He had no intention of proposing any motion or resolution. He would 'not discuss what might be the rights of this country with respect to colonial legislation. Ile should only say, th3t nothing but the most dire necessity could excuse any interference of Parliament with the local assemblies. If a measure was good, though only nne-fourth of it should be obtained through the me dium of the colonial legislatures, that portion was better than the whole obtained in a w ay in which its execution, if at all possible, would be very imperfect. For these reasons, tlaciugh he had no motion on the subject to make, he had thought it right to trouble their Lordships with these observations. , There was sometimes a strong inducement thus to travel out of the record, ps in thatilouse opportunities offered for esFessing opinions which might, perhaps, have some weight with those who possessed influence and au thority elsewhere. He concluded by moving an Ad dress for au Account of the measures adopted by the Colonial Legislatures, in consequence of the recorn atendations contained in the Address voted by their Lordships in June, 1816. Earl BATHURST rose, and complimented the Noble Lord on the candid and judicious manner in which he had introduced his *don. He could assure the House it was the anxious desire of his Ma jesty's Government towttain in the most practicable wad consistently expeditious manna., the great object which they all had in view. In their measures they 'had never lest sight of that object, and their prattip sal attention had principally been directed to the im portant points of a Registration of Slaves, and ;be moral and religious instruction .61 the Negro pope 'lol4 Net only that. bet ittong inducements were out in order to tow.otwago and promote indivi goodeonduct and improvement. It was deem ' expedient likely to contribute much to the in that. as ' Vissed, t .. . were brought forweid in the Colonial Assemblies, being anxious that the pmcedure should not in the least appear as compulsory on the eat t of thii coun try. N ith respect to the consideration of the marsh or religious instruction of the Negro population in • oar Colonies, every•attention was and would be paid to that great object. The salaries were raised for the" ,remuneration of Clergymen who should go to those 'Colonies, and every other fair and proper encourage. laentt was held out for the purpoge ; and he must say, with respect to those Revereed Prelates who were COnsulte4l on the occasion (particularly the Re reread Prelate to whose province such matters peens' liarly belonged), they MI spewed the greatest degree of zeal and alacrity' to procure propee persons to fill those necessary situations in the Colonies. The Noble Secretary. described the nature of •the Episcoeal 34. trisdiction of the Diocesan of London, which, strictly speaking, was not, in point of law or regularity, so • .extensive or powerful in respect to those Colonies air seemed to be stlpposed, •egb, in the course se: (6m,ft such matters see.. • generally regala p ;et al % that locerian. The difficulties in finding qualified Ckrymen to perform the duties fit those reolonies, were certainly great ; but every care and arinneernent should lie taken to surmount...theta...o. Much of What the Noble Lucd referiva ca• 'es pfi g . • client for improvement, naturally lay in she hands of the Colonial Legislatures; but no effort, he repeated, would be wanting oit the part of his Slajesty's Go. vernment in these respects; and with regard to the procuration_ of adequate Clerical Instructors, the Noble Earl again remarked; 'that steps had been taken particularly with that view,. and further exer tions would be made; but their I.ordships would all be aware how much depended on' the co-operation of the Colonial Legislatures, which, however, he felt !so doubt would be cheerfully afforded. The Bishop of LONDON addressed the House at some length on the occasion. The Reverend Prelate dwelt chiefly . on the topic of the religious instruction of the negro populasitm. He described the nature • and extent of the jurisdiction which was generally exercised by the See of London in' such matters—the , causes of the difficulties which occurred in the pro curation of properly qualified Clergymen for the pur pose in question—the nature of the duties to be per formed by such persons in the colonies, and the ad vances already made with reference to Chiistian in struction in those quarters. The Rev. Prelate 0b..• served, that no steps were untaken on the part of the Establishment towards effecting the important object in question, and adverted to the Important and cor dial assistancg he had .received from the Noble Earl 'at the head of the Colonial Department, and his (race the Duke of Manchester (as Governor of Ja lmaica.) After expatiating with much' candour, clear ness, and ability, on those several heads, his Lord. 'ship joinedtis Noble Friend in assuring the House, ithat no efforts had been or should' be wanting.' xer • •promote the great object of religions instruction of the Negro population in the British West Indies. 1..0rd HOLLAND explained, .that in using the words temporal inducements, he meant what was ad. milted, that the salary was thought insufficient for persons educated for the Church'of England ; he had, therefore, recommended the Moravian brethren as a means of removing that difficulty. The Noble Se cretary of State was not correct in saying that he thought a competent knowledge in the Christian•re ligion necessary to the admission of negroin to give evidence in Courts of Justice. He .wished 'it to be distinctly understood, that he had giveno opinion on that question. Hi had merely said • that many persons were of opinion, that a considerable degree of religious instruction must precede any improve. meat in the condition of the slaves, and it was with the view olconciliating that opinion he had suggested the plan which he•had briefly described. The question was then put, and carried nisi. di:. • COAL TAX. ' The Marquis of LANSDOWN had a petition to present against any equalization of the duty on coals. was, otcourse, of the same' nature as that which the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Grenville) had been yesterday induced tcs withdraw. He could not, how. 'ever, concur in the objections which had been made to that petition. It appeared from the votes of the other House of Parliament, that the question on which this petition was founded had been agitated, and it was never the practice, as far as he knew, of either House of Parliament to reject-petitions of this kind, unless they were against a tax for the imposing of which there was a Bill before the House. The ;No ble Marquis presented die petition, which was from the borough of Caine. Lord GRENVILLE also presented the petition which he yesterday withdrew, and, which prayed, among other things, thlt the Petitioners might be heard by Counsel, against the equalization of the Coal Tax, if any bill for that object should be intro `cluced--which petition being laid en the table, Lord GRENVILLE said, that he had great sad* faction in learning that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to support any proposition for the equali?.atioa of the duties, on Coal. He was happy to have the opportunity of stating this, as he was certain that the information would give great satin-' faction to the Petitioners, and to all persons in et* maritime districts.—Adjourned. itousz or COMMONS. • Lied GEOILOZ BERESFORD ewe es. a Nekton from Waterford, ecinplaioing of the inequality 'ef the Cowity.Ratp.
