7i N, NCO ) r , •. • . , MACDONNELL'S PAMPHLET ON THE WEST INDIA QUESTION. Mr. Alexander Micdonnelk, formerly secretary of the 'ommittee of Demerara planters, and subsequently, we lltAieve, of the West India Dock Company, has recently pAduced his periodical pamphlet on the West India question; which he addresses to the Members of both Houses of Parliament. It does not appear to us to de serve any elaborate refutation, at least at our hands, because to the readers of our work it will carry with it its own refutation. The very principle on which he sets oat, and which is implied in the whole work, namely, ,hat commercial gain is to be preferred to every other consideration, will scarcely find admission into any mind hich places a due value on justice, mercy, and truth, even if our actual loss, instead of gain, from the slave sys tem, had not been proved beyond the possibility of rea sonable question. (See Reports of the A. S. Society, 1 and 2, and A. S. Reporters, Vol. i. Nos. 17, 22, and 24.) We shall merely glance at a few of the subsidiary topics. 1. He opens again the question of free labour, after the mode, and according to the exploded theory of Major Moody. In his discussion, however, we can only find a single argument which does not stand fully refuted in the Edinburgh Review, and in the numbers of this Re porter, 27 and 31. 2. The single argument which is new is drawn from Mr. Mackenzie's official representation of the state of Hayti. Mr. Macdonnell's pamphlet, and our exposure of the great unfairness of that representation, (in oar last number, No. 55,) were probably passing through the press at the same time. Had Mr. Macdonnell previously seen that exposure, he might not have been so forward in resting his case on so very weak and insufficient a proof. He relies upon it, however, as a veracious and irrefutable document. We have shewn it, we aro bold to say, to be utterly unworthy of reliance. " It is impossible to doubt," says our author," that this report of Mr. Mackenzie must produce a great sensation. It touches upon all the con tested points," (we had divined this to have been its ob ject 0 " and it is so impartially and perspicuously drawn es to produce immediate conviction, p. 49.) The very slightest examination might have satisfied even Mr. Macdonnell of the absolute ridicule attached to expres sions of commendation so very wide of all resemblance, nay so ironically unlike. 3. We have next a proof (p. 21.) drawn from some statement of the late Lord Liverpool, (where to be found we know not) that it is calumnious to question the wil lingness, nay the zeal of the colonists to promote edu cation and religious instruction among the slaves. The preceding pages of this number (167-172.) anticipate the answer to this extraordinary plea. 4. Then " the crime of slavery belongs to the mother country." Be it so ; then let the mother country forth 1‘ ith cease from it, and make her children to cease from it also. 5. The object of all this stir about abolition on the part of the agitators, it seems, is patronage. If this charge is intended to inform the Duke of Wellington, Sir George Murray, and the other administrators of places, employments, and pensions, they will know best how to value it. It is untrue, and if Mr. Macdonnell does not know that it is so, he must be wilfully ignorant. 6. Then comes a long discussion about compulsory manumission, being the pivot on which he seems to turn. (See Vol. i. No. 22, p. 323). We leave it to its native effect, without offering to disturb it. 7. As to all his lovely pictures of what Jamaica and the other colonies have done to make the slaves as happy as the day is long, we need only point to the abstracts of their statute books in our own pages. Almost every assertion he makes on the subject is substantially untrue. 8. He speaks of our slave colonies being tyrannically anverned by the mother country, (p. 49.) This is really to ridiculous ! 9. As for " spoliation of the rights of property," (p. 53.) Does the case of the West Indies differ from the case of the East Indies, or of the London Bridge ? 10. Mr. Macdonnell further labours to prove that the feelings of proprietors resident in England and of the colonists are identical. So much the worse for the pro prietors resident in England ! We have always sus pected it, notwithstanding their repeated disclaimers of any such identity. 11. He triumphs over the abolitionists for refusing to take part in the discussion before the Privy Council in 1827, on the compulsory manumission clause. He will I find all he has said completely answered, by anticipation, in the Reporter, No. 31, p. 153, and No. 52, p. 59. We shall no longer interrupt the passage of this work to its proper place. —Anti-Slavery Reporter.

The plaintiffs in this biU were the trustees under the marriage settlement of Mrs. Norman, the daughter of the defendant, Wylie. blr. Wylie advanced .E5OO on the marriage of his daughter, and her husband basis' a bond for .62000 given by a Mr. Hurst, that bond was assigned to the plaintiffs, as trustees, under the settle ment, but the latter suffered the bond to lie in the custody of Mr. Wylie who handed it over to Mr. Norman, on a tepreeentatioa from the latter that Hurst. the obligor, was in embarrassed circum stances. Norman obtained about £1, 500 in varies. ..cantles from Hurst, but afterwards became bankrupt, and the bond was thus lost to the trustees. This bill was filed to compel Mr. Wylie to ac count for the bond, it having been lost to the trustees through his negligence. Mr. PnaseaToll and Mr. ROOM appeared for the plaintiff. The amount of the bond bad been proved against Norman's estate, but nothing had been received upon it. Mr. BATLZY appeared for the defendant, Mrs. Norman. Mr. Bzczraserna appeared for Mr. Wylie, and submitted, that stetting had been lost to the trust ; for that, if the bond bad re mained in Mr. Wylie's bands it would have been unproductive, for Hurst was a bankrupt and his estate would pay nothing, as the ,plaintiffs well knew. Mr. Pasteaavos, after'stime farther disnission, proyond that an' inquiry should be made as to what loss had accrued to tin trust is consequence of Mr. Wylie's handing over the bond to Norman. His Hoooar the bisersa of the lios.z.s, said that it was the same as if a sum of mousey belonging to the trust had been paid away, and directed, with the concurrence of both parties, that it should bi neural to the Master to enquire whether any and what moles er neuritics bad been received by Norman in satisfaction of the bond. and whether the Trustees had at the time received any notice from Mr. Wylie of his parting with the bond, and might by the exercise of proper diligence have made any of the securities received for it available to the trust. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jan. 26. VIIIIVVIT V. HAMMOND. In this case, which was one of assault. the evidence was of a very contradictory nature ; but Lord Tanzman, in his summing up, Ind given an opinion in favour of the plaintiff, leaving it, however, so the Jury, to say which side they considered the most entitled to credit. The Jury found for the defendant. • Mr. J. Wasians now moved for leave to set aside the verdict, first, un the ground of its being against the direction of his Lord. ship ; and neat, en the ground that it was also against the evidence. Lord Tasersanan=-Wby the evidence was very contradictory, Mr. Williams, you know. Would you make that a ground for your motion? Mr. Wausau—lt was so, my Lord.

The plaintiff bad been been• ad cad ages three former occasions, and had been as eften dischar gplby bisber authorities, and in this instance was discharged by dhs Court of Exchequer, after the circumstances had undergone ,u sours, which occupied the space of two dsys. An action was *NOM wink the defendants by the plaintiff for compensation in damagefor the imprisonment be bad suffered. The trial took plate at the late Sittings at Guildhall, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, with damages for £250. Mr. F. Pomocx now moved for a rule Nhl for leave to sbew cause whthis verdict should not be set aside, and a none& The en tered. Learned Gentleman said it was not so much for the sake of the present defendants, though they submitted that they were justified in acting as they bad done, as for any future similar occurrence, that this application was made. Lord Tanteaosa—There never can be such another. Mr. F. Poucca—The decision must be of great importance. Lord Trarthatnni—There was not any question, Mr. Pollock. Mr. Pott.oce—The defendants are of opinion there was. Lord Tetteasossi—Can any man pretend to set up his individual opinion, that there was a question, when the Court of Exchequer has, after a discussion of two days, according to your own account. give° its solemn judgment, and expressed an opinion that there was no question? It is out of all reason. The time of the Court is of more value than to attend to propositions of such a nature. Mr. PoLLocz was about to go on with his motion, when Lord Treraisoin said—Do you think the opinion of a person upon a thing in which be is the defendant can be so taken as to set aside that of the Court of Exchequer, as expressed after so length ened an argument upon aU the points of the cue? Mr. Pou.ocx—Certainly not, my Lord, but be should fail Is lit. duty, were he not to state the grounds upon which he was instsmillod to move their Lordships. He must apologise for occupying &offal of the Court, for again presenting the position of the defewinite opinion upon the matter. They considered that, in asking thellektiff to read the account in question, that they asked a poetics° ; and do answer gave by the latter was such as to show that he considered it as one. The Learned Gentleman then went into the parti culars of the point. The question, as contended, which was put. arose out of a desire on the part of the defendants to learn some particulars respecting certain entries in the ledger G. under an account headed" Russian Stock." After having been told by the plaintiff that the account contained an account of transactions in Russian Stock for his brother Leon as wen as for himself, the Commissioners desired him to tern to the account in ledger G. page 101, and read the entries under the head of Russian Stock. The plaintiff declined to do this. saying that all the entries did not refer to the bankrupt's estate, and upon being pressed for some time, he requested to be allowed to consult his Counsel. Having done so, he said that, acting under the advice of his legal adviser, he still declined, upon the ground stated, to read the account through. Repeated requests having been made by the Commis sioners upon this point, they committed the plaintiff. His clients submitted that this very answer was sufficient to show that the plaintiff himself considered it as a question. Mr. Justice Balmer—How is it a question put? the plaintiff is told to read certain entries, which they are capable of reading themselves. Mr. Pou.oca—Well, my Lord, I should submit that that is in substance a question. It appears so to me, my Lord. Lord Tsirreanze—lt is not a question ; and you will find that, in the Count of that examination, there are perhaps a dozen or more in the sante way. Some more discussion having been gone into, Mr. Post.ocz said be should ground kis application upon this point, that the plaintiff understood it as a question. Lord Tarrson= said the power given to Comtr.issioners of Bank rupts to commit persons summoned before them rested on two points : first, if they refused to give an answer to any legal question which might be put to them, and secondly, if any such person should refuse to produce such books as might be called for, those books being necessary to the investigation of the bank. rupt's affairs. It did not appear upon the face of the warrant for committal in this case, that anything of the sort was complained of. that the party bad refused to do either of the things required by the act. 'there was no authority given to these Com. missioaen to order a person to teed the books; they were only to be produced. It never could be held that telling a person to read a book was asking a question. It was perfectly absurd to suppose so. if there were any gentlemen who thought so ;if there were any who were of opinion that this was a question, he would advice them to correct such opinion, and then they would be the better fitted to act. Mr. Justice Ban= said this could not be considered as a ques tion. If they bad asked him to produce the book, sad he bad not done so. then the commitment would have been for not prodoaing it, and the warrant would lave shown it. The plaintiff could not, therefore, be rightfully committed in this instance. The other Judges having concurred, The Rule was refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, in disposing rf a case where a woman had been de tected in attempting to pass a bad shilling, Mr. Alderman Con- LAUD remarked, the practice of uttering base coin had increased to' such an extent. that the attention of Government, and the law-of leers of the Crown, he understood, were now engaged In fragrant a Bill which would make it a capital offence to be found uttering bad money, having other counterfeits in possession at the time, or to be found uttering, having been once before convicted of a like offence. As many as forty cases of uttering had come snider the cognisance of the Solicitor of the slifit at the different police offices in the course of last week. Wm. Allen, a drover, was fined 101. and costs for wantonly and cruelly ill.treating a cow in Smithfield, on the 14th of January in.c. The complain was laid by Lewis Gomberts, the Honorary Se cretary to the Society for preventing Cruelty. who found the de fendant and a crowd of others, setting dogs at and beating the poor animal, which bad dropped from weakness. It was at length dragged into a yard In Smithfield, and.singlitered. The Stewards of a Benefit Society called the Josephs, held at the Flying Horse, In Grub-street, attended before Aldermen Cen tavo and Lucas, to answer the complaint of Maria Hemming', the wife of John Hemmings, a member, who had been unlawfully expelled the saki Society. The complainant deposed that her husband bad contributed to the funds of the Society above 50 years, and that about four months since be became ill, being affected with a "Wind blood and asthma. The box bad been shut for nine months past as far as regards allowance to the sick, and having no assistance from the Society, but supporting bee husband and family by her own la boor, she was unable to clear the books on the last meeting-night. Else went to the meeting, however, sod stated her distress, begging that she might be allowed some time to make up the amount due, (Os. 4d) and the Secretary desired her to bring a medical certifi cate of her husband's ill health. She obtained this certificate. but learnt subsequently that the club bad expelled her husband. It the Secretary bad told her the rules, as to clearing the book., must be complied with, she would have pawned clothes to the amount. or could have borrowed it front a person by whom she is employed. The stewards replied that they Warn pert In. and thereon were not concluded by the conversation with the Secretary; and that if the Articles were not complied with strictly upon all occa sioes, they would become useless. The course pointed out by the Articles could not be legally deviated from. The whole of the so ciety's stock did not now exceed £lOO. • The Aldermen were unanimously of orioles that the society might relax the rigour of their rules ; that the consent of their of ficial organ to a relaxation in this case was binding on the Whole, and that the expelled member must be reinstated on paying up the arrears at the next meeting. Mr. Alderman Cayman humanely gave the poor woman a few shillings to assist her. HATTON-GARDEN. Elisabeth Tenser, a servant, la the empty of Mr. Skeen, surgeon, Grnille-street.

LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Reber. Jain Okra*, a fashionably dressed young man, who described bimseU as a professor of writing, was brought up on a warrant, charging him with assaulting his wife, a female of ladylike appearance. On being ushered to the presence of the Magistrates, a tragi comic scene, of a very ludicrous description, took place.:The hus band earnestly, by word and action, entreated his dearest Louisa to forgive him for this mice, and pledged his life and honour that never would he again o6knd her. His tears and supplications were, however, of &de avail; Mn. C. continued obdurate, observing that no faith was to be placed in his promises, proceeded to detail her grievances. Among others which she spoke of, the one which formed the subject of the present complaint was his having bevel! het severely an last Sunday morning. His unmanly conduct was satisfactorily proved to the Magistrates, sad they ordered him to find good security to keep the peace to wards his wife for twelve months. This he was unpr, pared for, and left the office, exclaiming that be certainly would not outlive the ▪ t. Bing Beasky, a nymph of the pave, was charged with robbing Jerry Connor, an Irish labourer, of a silver watch. Prom Jerry's statement, it appeared that, on Sunday night last, the streets being very slippery, while walking along the Commercial-road, his legs, to use his own expression, were take uite cline from under him, and he was pitched into the gutter. While in the act of picking himself up, Miss Beasley approached him, and commisserating his mischance, commenced very sedulously clearing off the mud with her pocket handkerchief.

She denied the charge; but it being proved that she was absent from her lodgings since the time of the robbery, and that she had attempted to escape when the officer went to apprehend her, she was fully committed to Newgate. Yesterday being the relieving-day for the parish of Whitechapel this office was beset by hundreds of unfortunate beings, whose ap ipeerance presented a melancholy proof of the extreme distress and poverty which at present exist among the working classes in ge neral, but of those who inhabit this large district in particular.— The time of the Magistrates was occupied until a late boor in in vestigating and determining on their several cases.
