on that subject bad disappointed the expectations of the Black population, and might have been productive of fatal c onse q uences. He wi.hed his Majesty's Ministers would say what they intended to do with the West India Proprietors. Government had no accu rate information respecting the Colonies. It was time to tell per sons concerned in West India property what they had to expect. They were not to be told their ploperty was bottomed in crime. If compensation was given, it must be carried into effect upon a liberal scale. Mr. Secretary IIUSKISSON, in explanation, said he could not state the reasons which induced his Majesty not to suffer the law to which the Hon. Member tad aI. tided to pass. There was no disguise as to the course Government would pursue. Their intention was to state the ground on which the Government considered the Legislature of Jamaica wrong, and to advise them to adopt a course which would le.id to their advantage. Mr. SYKES said th4t the slave population in the West Indies had decreased two and a half per cent. the decrease was occasioned by over -working the negroes on sugar plantations. The Right Hon. Gentleman, as it appeared to him, lost himself in his own mazes,— Market prices might rise and fall, but the Negro, after all, would be the sufferer. He asked, should that be allowed ? He denied it altogether. The Hon. Member cited the authority of Sir Stamford Raffles to prove his position, that free labour might be as profitably exer cised in the West Indies as in other places. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, his argument was completely mistaken. He wished the Orders in Council to be modified, because there was found to be an abso lute necessity for so doing. An Honourable Mazes deprecated that the interests of the West India property and Planters had been so much mis represented by the talented men in this country. Let the people of Ireland be relieved, let the poverty of that country be mitigated ; and then he would meet the House upon the West India Colonies. The people of Ireland were neglected and degraded; not so the Negroes in the West Indies. Do justice to Ireland first, and then look to the West India Proprietors. He had parishes in Yorkshire and other places—he had property in the ,West Indies, and he thought he had a right to address himself to the House upon the subject more immediately under that consideration. He wished to see justice done, and then look to after consequences.--(Cries of Question.)—The Motion was then agreed to. Mr. PEEL moved for leave to bring in a Bill to hold Sessions In Westminster at earlier periods than those now by law established. —Leave given. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House Adjourned at Ors o'Ctoces THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. FRIDAY, MARCH 7, STOCK EXCHANGK, TWF,LVE O'CLOCK.

Sr MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY ♦ery properly called attention to the enormous and unnecessary expenses annually in curred in priming the Papers and Returns of all sorts moved for by certain Members of the House. Most of these Papers afford no necessary information either to the House or to the public. and many of them are never read by any our, either in or out of Parliament. We are without any arrivals of French Papers or official information from the opposite coast, owing to the cont•rruance of strong contrary winds. We received this morning Lisbon Papers to the 24th ult. They give no news of general interest. The Gazette of the 16th contains an order from the Punt cess ittoeux to the Minister at War, for the confine ment and immediate trial of ten Officers commanding the Guards at the Palace of the Peers. for neglecting their duty, by permitting two witnesses who were at tend;ng to give evidence on the trial of the four Peers to be insulted by the populace. That of the 18th contains, in the of f icial part, some more documents relative to the same subject—viz. a letter from the Secretary of the Chamber of Peers to 11:e Secretary of State " XAVIER," stating that the Charobcr of P,ers had received a petition from the witnesses alluded to, describing the treatment tl,ey had received from tEe mob. The Marquis afterwards com plains of the conduct of the troops, and represents the reces,ity of ii flicting prompt punishment on the au thors and accessaties of such scandalous excesses.

In the next Consulship, which was that of Marcus Licinius and Lucius Calpurniu3, an unforeseen disaster (no sooner begun than ended) laid a scene of ruin equal to the havoc of the most destructive war. A man of the name of Atilius, the son of a freed man, under took at Fidena to build an amphitheatre for the exhibition of gladiators. The foundation was slight, and the su perstructure not sufficiently braced. The consequence was, that the building, overloaded with spectators, gave way at once. All who were under the roof, besides a prodigious multitude that stood round the place, wete crushed in the ruins. The number of killed or maimed was not less than 50,000. The Senate provided by a decree, that for the future no man whose fortune was under 400,000 sesterces should presume to exhibit a spectacle of gladiators, and that till the foundation was examined, no amphitheatre should be erected. Atilius, the builder, was condemned to banishment. The Grandees of Rome displayed their humanity on this occasion ; they threw open their doors, 'they ordered medicines to be distributed, and the physicians attended with assiduity in every quarter. The city of Rome re called, in that juncture, an image of ancient manners, when, after a battle bravely fought, the sick and woultded were received with open arms, and relieved by the generosity of their country. , SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DUTTON, AND OVUM. The above important ease having been peremptorily Axed for this morning, the Court was crowded at a very early hour, chicly with Gentlemen connected with the East India Company. The Bight lion. C. C. C. Wyatt (the late President of the Board of Cuntroul) occupied a seat on the bench appropriated to tie King's Counsel, next to Mr. BROUGHAM. Lord TINTIERTIIN took his seat before ten o'clock. Six special Jurymen only having answered to their names, the Soutorcre-Gessaax, for the prosecution, prayed a tales, and six Jurymen from the Common Jury panel were sworn. The Soucrroa.Geneem., with Mr. Sergeant liosariavre, and Messrs. Cc KNIT and CARTTR, conducted the prosecution; and Mr. 1.311011111A11t, Mr. F. Potence, Mr. CANIPZILL, Mr. PLAT; and Mr. ANTROVI appeared on behalf of the defendants. Mr. C opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an indictment against Samuel Sutton, W.Andrews,George E. Despard, J. I'. Anstis, C. Gibbons, W. Wright, Joseph Tindall, and Charles Prescott. The first seven of these defendants were charged with unlawfully and corruptly negotiating for a certain appointment under the Eastlindia Company. for a person named P. Black ; and the last defendant, Prescott, who is an East India Director, was charged with aiding and abetting the other defendants in the said negociation• Six of the defendants pleaded " Guilty" to the in dictment. Mr. Qun, as the Solicitor-General rose, said he was instructed on the part of the defendant Mr. Anstis, to withdraw his plea of " Not Guilty," and to substitute " Guilty." Lord 'FENTENDEN said it was imposiihle for him to permit that to be done now ; an application to that effect should have been made earlier. But if that defendant chose, lie might have a verdict of Guilty recorded against him before the cause proceeded. Mr. Qt IN, in answer to his Lordship, said that be bad that mo. ment received his instructions to make the application he had done; and as it could nut succeed, he would avail himself of the Learned Judge's suggeatinn. A verdict of Guilty was then recorded against James Paten Anstis. The Soutane-Gammas opened the case for the prosecution, which was instituted by the Directors of the East India Company. The Rev. Edward Black examined by Sergeant Bo SANQUET—Lve. at Little Hampton at present, and re sided in Devonshire about 15 years ago. Saw an adver tisement in the Morning Herald in August 1826, and in consequence had an interview with Mr. W. Wright, in Alls , p 's-buildings, New-I oad. Did not give his own name, but that of Col. Edwards. Mr. Wright said that the ap pointment alluded to in the advertisement was a cadet ship in the East India Company's service. It was men tioned, that the sum of nine hundred guineas must be paid if it WAS a cavalry appointment, and six hundred or seven hundred if in the infantry. He broke off the negociation; but after his son became of age, he wished to renew the negociation, and took steps accordingly, and made it known to the Chairman of the Company. at whose request he recommenced the negociation, and called again in Allsop's-buildings. He did not see Mr., Wiight there, bat left a card, and received the letter ' now produced on the next day.—(The letter was proved to be in Mr. Wright's band, and appointed a meeting at 63, Upper Norton-Jreet). Witness called, and saw another of the defendants, Gibbon, from whom he received a note for a meeting at No. 32, in Walbrook, on the 6th of Match, 1827. Saw him there that day, and also on the S.h. On both occasions Gibbons talked of the cadetship, and said the price in the infantry would be six hundred guineas, and the cavalry nine hundred. Gibbons gave him a blank form of certificate to get it properly filled up, and to return it to him, which witness did. Received a letter from Gibbons on the 24th of March, stating that the appointment which he had to dispose of was gone, but that he had a cavalry appointment which he could dis pose of for something less than 900 guineas. Witness got a 5001. note from the Chairman of the Company, half of which he gave to Gibbons, and the other half of which witness kept himself. He received a receipt from Gibbons, acknowledging the payment of the half of a 5001. bank note, and promising to return it in case the appointment agreed on should not be obtained. He was afterwards introduced to a person of the name of Tindal ; and it was said that some delay had taken place in consequence of the change in the Government that hod just taken place. Witness was afterwards called on to make an advance of the halt of another Bank note for 300/. for which he got a similar receipt from Gibbons, and had a lever, appointing a meeting at Lloyd's Coffee House, when the appointment would be completed. He went them, and saw for the first time a Captain Despard. Something passed on the subjecref the cadetship, and on the 26th of April Vespatd. said he would introduce witness to two very respectable met chants to settle the business. They went to an office in Great St. Helens, where he was introduced by Despard to Mr. Anstis, who said he had had the halt of the 5001. note in his possession some time, but that it was of no manner of use without the half of the 3001; Gibbon had had that in his hands some time. D.3pard said that Mr. Anstis had got most of Mr. Astell's appointments, and that it would come from him. Witness went again on the 27th, and on that occasion expres ed doubts to Mr. Anstis and the others of their ability to immure the appointment. Mr. Anstis said if he would let the young Gent'eman go to the India House next day, he should have the appoints) em. On Saturday the vii ness saa Capta n Anstis, who nent with him to point cu . M. Andrews, at his office in Waterlooplace, but I.e was not at home that day. Saw him on Sunday the 29th, in Duke-street. H td seen Gibbons before, at Captain Anstts's door ; Gibbons oisited itne,s to go to Andrews without Anstis. When they got there, Andrews said the appointment was certain, and witness was desired to be vet y secret, and not let the business transpire. Went on Monday to An-tis with Andrews, and was told the appointment wt uld be mide next day. On a subsequent day Mr. Andrews and Mr. Sutton came to the Monument Coffee house. They said that as every thing was now completed, he should pay over the other halves of the notes. They went to another coffee-house, and witness said be would give the other two halves. A new difficulty arose, as the first two halves were not forthcoming. Witness was desired to walk to the other-end of the loom, but before he went, took up again the halt of the 5001. note, leaving the half of the 3001. One of the defendants took it up, and a paper was put into witness's hand. Witness then went with his son to the Cadet Of f ice, and saw Gibbons there, who stuck very close to witness, and said he wanted to receive the difference between the 800 and 900 guineas, of which he was to have 161. for that 14 was all he got by it." Saw Sutton and Andrews there, who said they did not know what to make of the business; there must be some mistake in it. Mr. Sutton said he should be a ruined man if it was found out, and should entirely lose his credit. Mr. Sutton afterwards came to Little Hamp ton, and asked witness what he meant to do? Witness declined all conversation with him. Did not know Mr. Prescott. Witness's son was not 22 years of age. Cross.examined by Mr. Swims—Did not go in a military dress. Gave the name of Colonel Edwards, because he knew a Gentle man of that name, and had some of his cards. Went by that name during the whole negotiation. Wrote to the Chairman of the East India Company in February, 1827. Colonel Toone examined by Mr. Guawzr—Had been an East India Director many years. Mr. Prescott had been a Director for some time past. The Direc tor s, in turn, have the naming the appointments, which are sometimes lent. Mr. P. applied to witness by let ter to lend him his turn, in April, 1827, to be repaid • amediately Mr. P. got one. Something occurred the ay after, which led witness to say to Mr. P. that hl as extremely anxious about the cadetship, and asked healer Mr. P. knew the yoong man who was to have re appointment ? Mr. P. said he was one of the • nest youths in the kingdom, and that he knee is father to be a respectable clergyman in De. onshire, and was within two months of beige veiny-two years of age.
