Colonel SIBTHORP said, he could not Kt:aka MIT monosyllable he uttered: but he complained of the general sport of his speech, and the manner in which it wee received. He complained of the ezanceration. Mr. HUSTE said. he wished the reports of what took place in the house to go forth to the public without mane radon. and wished it could be done in a more authentic form ; but as all that was complained of was the naggers lion and laughter, he thought they would not consult their own dignity by calling persons to the bar on such a charge. (Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNRT.L said. the house ought not to be called upon to Interfere in eases of this kind, except on the mast solemn occasions ; he did not consider this one of that description. He had no right to he partial to the Times newspaper ; (a laugh) but he thought. if the present cheese was Traduced in any court of justice it would be impossible to otevont laughter, though the laughter was what the gal- Isot officer complained of. Lord A LT 11011 p said, unquestionably printing the hon. eentleman's speech was a ►reach of privilege; and the speech was also published with exaggeration ; because, though when the gallant dicer said the bill had passed too speedily through the houses there was a laugh, yet there was not near so much laughter as the newspaper men tioned. (A great laugh.) He hoped, however, the gallant nicer would not think it necessary to call the printer and publither hrfote the house on this occasion. It was a power necessary for the house to possess, but one they should be eery sparing to exercise. (Hear, bear.)

Laud A LTHOIt P moved that the house resolve itself into a Committee on the Sugar Refinery bill Mr. KEITH Dt tIT G liA 8 thought that since the revolu tions of Paris, and of Belgium, considerable alteration had taken place in all foreign and commercial tots, and a greater quantity of foreign Busse came to is country ; and by allowing it to be refined, as proposed by the present Lill, the price of out own sugars would be reduced. The lion. fien.len an concluded by moving, that the house re solve itself into a Committee to take into consideration the present commercial state of the West Indies. He thought it the Colonies were not to be protected, they should be ahs.lved from their allegiance. 31r. P. THO3ISON said, when the proper time should come he should go into the whole question. Government had already afforded all the relief they conceived to he in their power, and certainly a committee of the whole house was not calculated for the examination of the documents and evidence that the hon. gentleman would submit to them. nothing could be more divided than the opinions of West Indians themselves on the means of affording the colonies relief. They were only agreed in desiring a bounty 1 butno one could expect that a bounty would be agreed to by the house or the °reentry. Colonel TOR RRNS thought the cause of West India distress was obvious, and the means of relief not difficult. As our West Indies produced more sugar than was news. say for our own consumption, it was evident that the bane price must be regulated by the rice In the foreign intact ; and while the produce of foreign colonies met us in the to. reign market, we had, by absurd enactments. compelled the West Indians to raise the cost of production. We should allow the W est Indians to import every article of consumption on the cheapest terms, and also allow them to refine supr on the islands where it was grown; and. above all other things, endeavour to put down the foreign slave trade.— By these means we should relieve the West India interest in the most effectual manner. (Hear, bear) Mr. ROBINSON tumid recommend the Government to consider well before they threw open the supply of the who. nies to all countries ; the effect of which would be to de prive the mother country of the supply of her colonies, and without benefit to the colonies themselves. He could assure the Government, that if they were pre par ed to throw open the trade of the colonist. the connection between this country and the colonies would be of very uncertain duration. He thought the West Indies would derive a great advantage from the reduction of duty. Mr. II UME thought the hon. member ( Mr. Robinson) had not met one of the arguments foe relieving the West Indies, by allowing them to supply their wants by purcha sing articles fot their consumption where they could do it cheapest. The honourable member proceeded to say, that it was only fair that inquiry should be instituted to give satisfaction to those whose interests were at stake. He would always enter his protest against any measure that wen to give an advantage to other colonies over those of our own, which would be the cave if foreign sugar was to be per. mined to he imported for the purpose of being refined for exportation. The West Indian proprietors had a right, at all events. to have an opportunity to make out their case. There had been time enough during the last two weeks fora sleet committee to have sat, foe it was net enzul d for the house to be told that the Board of Trade was on the subject. The West Indian interest only asked for justice. and they had a right to have it. Nome could be more anxious than he that every man should be free; but to con template in this measure an effort to effect the emancipation ..f the blares was an act of injustice. It would not be the most sound policy to emancipate the slaves by the ruin of their masters at one blow. It was for Government to name a time when all *lmes were to be free; but prudence would dictate that their emancipation must be gradual. The hoe. member said, that unless all the sugars of the West Indies could be consumed in this country, a teduaiou of the duty would do no good. The navigation laws must be altered before relief would be affotded,and the expense of production must be reduced. This could not be dens unless Govern ment were prepared to put a stop to the foreign slave trade; fee in Antigua, and other places where the walk in slaves was clandestinely tolerated by the mother country of the colonies, a slave could be purchased foe 40L while in the English colonies no slave could be had far less than 801; and ' • until this was adjusted, it would be impossible to place the . growers in the different colonies on an equal footing. Bo considered that the COOtalethe of our own country demomiodi the most marked and scrupulous attention, as noddle W. ever tended more towards civilization in the world than me. mace. He did not think the present measures tibia id suppress the slave trade wets at all likely to be eillciene. premium or head money given foe the seizures was a bad e gulation, for theft who were on the potently* service In , that traffic it was am to be expected wouldmver wish to sic • the trade extinct.

He was perfectly satisfied that it was the interest, as well as the duty of +ls country, to put as end to the foreign slave trade I but hos. numbers must be convinced that that was only to' be can_ pitted by negotiations. He had had no objection mallow sugar refining in the West Indies ; but tam bu proposed that as a measure, he bad been told by some boa. gentle men that it was now too late; the distress of the West In dian proprietors was such that they were not able to stand the expense of its establishment, and It was of no me Government bringing formal any measure until they could do so under circumstances which would be entirely effective. : • Mr. BURGE said, that by adopting the mature new 11703 woul d 00ed they gravely violate the laws of their statute . The hoe. member, in proof of this statement read a number of acts of parliament. He alluded to the mopeds that had been entered Into by France, Russia, and other powers..for the soppression of the forties slave trade, and called the attention of the noble lord to the glees manner in which those powers had violated their compacts. He in stanced Russia, which had done every thing In its power to discourage the importation of sugar from the colonks of Britain, which had really abolished the slave trade, and had in every manner encouraged the importation of sugars from the colonies of other countrks that still continued the slave trade.and he would ask the government how they could think , of bringing forward a measure which was to encourage coun tries that had so barely broken faith. The boo. member read extracts to prove that the slave trade had increased in France since that power had enacted laws for hs supine'. Won ; but France, he said, adopted a policy which he wished could be adopted in this country ; they always pre served, under every circumstance, the interest of their own colonies. He would call upon the Government. upon their own principle, to discourage the foreign slave trade, and to do so they ought not to Wing forward any law that was to en. coura2ethe impottation of foreign sugar. It appeared to him that they only considered the colonies in proportion to the sum which they brought lido the treasury, without the least consideration of the capital that was embarked in their commerce by the proprietors. The colonies were loyal now.bat he feared ere leas they would be brought to possess no more feeling for their country beyond the burdens that had been entailed upon them by it. If the opinion was entertained that the colonies were worth nothing, they ought to be told so. and they might perhaps and some other power willing to receive the. When the duty on coffee was reduced, it had the effect of extending ha con sumption it had now found ha way into every hovel in the Kingdom, and he did not me why. by reducing the duty on Sugar, the same bettelldal consequences would not accrue in an extension of the consumption of sugar. —He was, however, convinced that his Honourable friend (Mr. K. Douglas) bad brought forward his motion at a disadvantageous moment, and he would be glad could be him withdraw it; but he hoped that the noble persuade l to ld consent to submit the Sugar Refining Bill to a select committee. Mr.S. DOUGLAS. after a abort explanation. begged lean to withdraw his amendment. On the motion being put, Mt. p. THOMSON said, that the gentian of the West Indian interest had been forced open the House at a very unfitting time; that hoe. members must have misunderstood the motion before the House, far they would have disap. pointed their intentions by causing the House to act upon doubtful documents. He refrained hem saying any thing at an earlier stage of the debate ; but be considered him self now bound to give his opiates as account of the several allegations and accusations which had been aide use et He stated, that the late f3etremosent had prepared • measure the same as this. and had given the parties in ',fraud optic. of their istantioas ; but not only had the late Government dose es, for it had been the measure of three successive Governments—so that the present Go vernment was compelled to pause until they could 'blahs Information; sad should the result of their inquiry be such as to demand a renewal of the ace, it was seat N likely they would have met the sumps of the house fee suffering the act to sapirs without a provides fee its renewal. He was astonished to hear the which had been mead on the question at this time, and the papers that bad been so In. dfttrieuely circulated. denouncing the measure as one that would bivalve in ruin the wholes! the West Indies interest; and the scaggerased statossents that bad been propagated ; seeing that hitherto the measure had been passed year after year without apparent *presides.

A Committee of Inquiry could throw no light upon the subject, as it would only bear Co.. tradimory evidence. A king diseuuion ensued, in which Mr. Banos and LOKI ALTROSP took part, and which was chiefly a repeti tion of arguments ahead? used. The bill having gone through Committee, The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be re ceived to-morrow. The Money Payment Acts Repeal Bill passed through a committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. Mr. LITTLETON moved that the horse resolve itself into a committee on the Money Payment of Wages Bill. Mr. CR INSET PELHA M objected to the bill, which he thought would not produce the good effects expected from it by its supporters. Mr. HUME was very sorry to End the member for Rte. ford impelled, by what might properly be called senseless clamour, to persevere in a measure contrary to all principle. It was an Act treating the labouring cleanses if they wen babies, unable to make a contact for their own lsbour.... Why should they not be allowed to sell their labour for money, or for provisions, as might be most for their interest ? He would tell them more, that many a man would starve if the Bill passed. It would drive manufacturers email ca pital out of trade, and cause less employment. It was going back to the days of barbarism, and depriving men of the liberty of carrying on their business in the only way In which it could be carried on. He knew the law would be violated, and that mobs would be that in their misled fury would attack masters wh= not give them employment, or who were compelled to lower their wages. He would charge these violations on Govern. sent, and the author of the present bill, who. lastesdof seen fully meeting the error of the people, Melded to clamour. Defoe the repeal of the com binat ion laws, the working elegies attributed all their Metros to these laws ; now they were satisfied of their error and were content. If the pria dig. of the bill was right, why was it not made tear* to all sorts of employment, instead of which all mime were exempted, and all agricultural labourers. The hon. mem ber knew that if he made his bill apply to agricultural la. bouren, the country gentleman would drive the bill out of the house. He knew the bill would be evaded, foe where it was the interest of both parties to evade it, even bang. lag could not prevent it. The bill allowed the employer to pay by giving a bones, or lodging and board. and in this way the bill would be evaded, as masters would undertake to board and lodge their workmen. He would not propose any mmdmes as the bill was wrong In prin ciple and maid not bemended. He would. however, take the sense of the Home on it, and see bow many them were who would vote for keeping men and masters ht a state of constant contendon, sod limit the power of employing la bour. He regretted that there were any in the country so Ignorant as to press on such a bill. He believed it was the Int time that House had passed an Act to Imprison a wit ness for three months for not attending. For every reason he should Oppose the bill.

Letters from Cracow, of the 27th of August, announce a complete defeat of Paskewitsch. We wait the details, in order to appreciate the advan tages which may result from it. However, we may say that it will be the salvation of that coun try ; the actual state of Russia, the interior agi tations which have occurred, the poverty of its treasury, of its proprietors, its magazines difficult to be provisioned after two years of bad harvest, will not permit her to assemble a new army. Be sides, winter approaches, and these six months will see perhaps the definitive organization of all Poland, and scenes of disorder and dissolution in the empire of the Csar.—Le Temps. There are twenty-one Journals at Warsaw, which are of a variety of patriotic opinions, and which always agree upon the desire of Polish re generation, differing but in the appreciation and choice of the means. Among these organs, avowed by the nation, exists an obscure journal, l evidently paid by the Russians, and edited by their unblushing adherents ; it is the Union. Alas ! The French Ministry, to give us the official recital of the late events of Warsaw, could do nothing better than to copy the details from a journal at once contra-revolutionary, and hostile to Polish in. dependance. It is absolutely the same as if it had adopted from the organs of the fallen dynasty the circumstances of our revolution. That trick is less serious in its immediate effects, than by the feeling which it produces. Fatigued by the late de bates which the Polish question has raised in the Chamber, embarrassed by the phrase which im plicates a recognition, the ministry has served upon an unforeseen incident ; it has spit forth all its gall, and commented with all its hatred, for the double purpose of frightening men who fear such scenes, and to justify, before the chamber and the country, the infamous abandonment of the Polish cause ; for it is that which is the sole object. The Emperor Nicholas carried his head so high when they spoke to him of mediation, that our trembling braggadocios crept into their shells. A long time before those events at Warsaw, it had been decided to do nothing for that last bulwark of honour and patriotism ; but, we repeat, the promises made rendered their position critical : but then came the Waaovian tumult, and it may easily be seen how our statesmen have crookedly taken advantage of it. —Cos:trier Francais. We well know that the present state of pecu niary distress in France is the result of the com mercial crisis which occurred six years ago ; and we maintain, that the minister is culpable for having never yet applied the means to diminish its evil effects ; but that be has insulted our good sense by attributing the distress to the political agitation and disquietude which hare lately existed in the capital. The proof that such is not the cause of the evil is, that the minister has declared that misery extends itself every where. " The great public works in progress in the capital," says he, " bare attracted to it innumerable crowds of workmen from all parts of the country, who offer to the undertaker a thousand arms where only one is required." Thus then we see, that in all parte of France, where there is neither commotion nor agitators, the number of workmen out of employ is enor mous : misery then oppresses the whole country ; it invades the happiness of all degrees of fortune ; it strikes equally the merchant of small means, the small lauded-proprietor, and the humblest daily labourer ; and it is only in the midst of this general depression, that there may be a very small fraction of monied capitalists, who may profit so fat by general distress, as to enrich themselves.— This is the true state of affairs. In the midst of this trouble, where, we ask, is strength ! where is security ? Without—the chance of war; within—the agitation of party. Witbout—aristocracy menacing, and the people defying it; within—legitimacy suffered to revive, and to &mates the people ; and the people brand ishing the sword cisassace in return. Everywhere, in fact, twe animist active principles—not dead abstractions two powers wielding arms of terror —becalms they support two systems—two social orgenisadoes—two aggregations of in terests, in direct opposition to each other. Kings with their ancient legions, and the people with their @emancipated and ever exacting energies ; and in all these scenes of agitation and ex citement, whoa a vast and almost interminable war is opening to our view—when the past is about to amilict with the future—a Banker.a gambler, on the rim and fall of stocks—is be that proclaims himself capable of controuling the tempest. —La Tribtume.
