b e en rather severely criticised t—the punishment of the whip, as regard ed females, was not repealed in England till 1822. But did that prove that England had not been advancing in civilisation ? And if that remark applied to England, might it not be extended to Jamaica ? He dreaded the effects of any sudden and decided measure ' • if any one were adopted—knowing what had happened in St. Domingo, and the Bahamas—a most awful responsibility would be imposed on those who should sanction immediate abolition. (Hear.) In 1823, the Hon. Member for Weymouth admitted that the slave was not " ripe for liberty."—Tbat was true, but since then much had been done to improve the moral character of the slaves, and successfully ; vet he was prepared to contend that the slave was not now ripe for li. berty. That being the case, the adoption of any sudden measure would not only be injurious to the slave, and to property, but to the ultimate ad. vantage of the slaves sought to be benefited. He hoped all would pause before they thought of adopting any such decided course. He also implored the government to pause before it persevered in such language as had been used, and to hesitate before it was resolved to adopt measures of "coercion," to quote the Noble Lord's language, towards the colonic, especially remembering the temper in which many of them now were. That applied particularly to Jamaica, where, as regarded this country, considerable alienation of feeling h a d t a k en p lace. (Hear.) That being the case, he regretted that any ex p ress i ons , calculated to irritate, were used. In conclusion he had only to remark that should any proposition for inquiry be made, it should have his support ; but that, whether any such proposition were made or not, be thought the amplest enquiries ought to be enforced previously to the adoption of any sudden and decided measures such as now seemed to be contemplated. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that the progress of the debate had given hint this satisfaction—no member had risen avowedly in defence of slavery. He was old enough in these discussions to remember that when the abolition of slavery was heretofore contended for, the neces. airy of its being continued was urged : nay, there were even those who went so far as to declare, that if the negro slave trade were abolished, the West Indies would soon be lost to England. He rejoiced to find that opinion on these points had materially changed, The Learned Doctor replied at great length to the arguments of the Honourable Member opposite (Mr. Twigs), by documents which he produced and read. He said, that the coloured population in the colonies were ex. xnsive proprietors of slaves, and that he was instructed by them to say that they were ready to give up all their slaves if Government re quired it, and that they would stand up in defence of whatever measure government might dictate. He cited a number of instances that had recently occurred, where the power of the Attorney. General to punish enormous atrocities had been rendered unavailing by the combination of the juries. He particularly noticed the case of the Rev. Mr. Bridge. The learned doctor said, that Wesleyan missionaries had been the means of doing great service to the slave population, and that they had unjustly been censured. The resolutions of 1823, proposed to be enforced by the motion of the Lord Chancellor, must not be left to the administration of the authorities of the colonies, but must be entrusted to the same descrip tion of authorities that had been appointed in the crown colonies. It was futile to argue upon the impracticability of emancipation, for the present state of Mexico was a proof set' Its practicability. Equally without foundation was the assertion it would distress the planters. He recollected perfectly that in the year 1807 he was one of a committee of inquiry appointed by the house to sit on the West India affairs, and the evidence then produced showed that for 30 years before that period the planters had been in great distress, and during all that time they had the full liberty and unlimited exercise of the slave trade. He hoped that some measure really effectual would be adopted In tke West Indies. Sir R. PEEL animadverted on the vituperation which he said the learned Doctor had used, and denounced such a mode of treating the question as being highly censurable. The hon. baronet spoke at great length, and in particular cautioned the House against pledging them -elves to any resolution that night. He said the resolution which the noble lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer would ask them to pledge •hemsclves was to impose an extra duty on such colonies as refused to :omply with the instructions of the Government ; and that that was a measure in which they might inflict punishment on Innocent Jodi viduals, .113, according to the statement of the learned Doctor, the coloured population were willing to comply, but they might be not so strong in influence as the white population ; yet, as that mode of legis lation could not be applied to individuals, but must be acted upon in whole islands, the innocent would be involved in the punishment of the guilty. He thought that if the house possessed one spark of spirit, that they would not yield to the proposition, but would resiat pledging thamselves to such a measure. Mr. BARING thought the people of England bad, with the best possible intentions, been led away with calumnious exagge. rations and misrepresentations. Whatever the house might do be hoped they would appoint a Commitee to inquire into the facts, whether.the picture of West Indian life laid before the house was true or false. He believed the statement was essentially false. He should like to hear the fact of decrease of numbers and its cause inquired into. If a Com. mince were to inquire into the fact without that sort of passion which had unfortunately been too busy with the subject—and if that house came to the conclusion that slavery should be abolished, to inquire how it could be done. In his opinion slavery In the West Indies could not be abolished. To suppose that the slaves would at once, when emancipated, become voluntary labourers, was a wild idea ; and of all the imprudent motions that were ever made he thought that of his Honourable Friend was the most imprudent. The. 6,609 petitions pre- anted on the question, all had their origin in one shop. (A laugh.) The opinion of the people had b ecome worse and worse on the subject, and the House must do something on the subject to satisfy the people. The subject should be s a ti s f actor il y inquired into, and the House should come to some sober decision. He had no hesitation in coming to a re. solution that the resolutions of 1823 should be immediately enforced on the colonies. The House must either legislate directly for the West Indic,:, or they must coax the West Indies, or they must force the 11%st Indies. He thought what was to be done, should be done through the colonial legislatures. He could see no great objection to threatening the legislatures, that unless they conformed to the orders in council of 18.:3, the House would impose discriminating duties. Toe ATTORNEY.GENERAL said, the speech of the hon. gcn. tleman who had just sat duwn was a complete answer to the right hon. baronet, who said the house was hampered by the resolutions of 1823, passed by the government of which the right Pion. baronet was a member. Mr. Canning in 1823 said, he was willing to try admonition with the colonies; he hoped it would not be necessary to harrass them by fiscal regulations ; and he hoped no one contemplated crushing them by force. It was quite clear that the admonition having failed, the question was whether the course of fiscal regulations should be resorted to. He was surprised at the conclusion of his hon. friend—to suppose that every well informed man and woman In this country did not know as much of the state of West India slavery as any Committee of the House could bring before it. He thought delay war not merely trifling with the people of doors, but with their own consciences.—. (Hear.) It was said the cases of cruelty were gross exaggerationsl Good GOD! could any one say so? Could any man of honour say he, believed there was one particle of exaggeration in the case of Kitty Hilton.? And this atrocity took place in a Welsh colony, and a Grand Jury stifled the inquiry. This Was the nature of slavery which this horse was pledged to abolish, and which the West India legisla. tures were determined to support. The evidence proved this was the senstant state of slavery. The honourable and learned Gentleman concluded by observing, that the house was bound in honour and con. sistency to vote for the resolutions. Sir R. PEEL and Lord HOWICK explained. Mr. HUNT rose and proposed an adjournment of the debate. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the motion. After a few words from Lord ALTHORP, which were inaudible in the gallery from the loud cries of " Go on," " Adjourn, adjourn," the :iuestion of adjournment till Tuesday week was put and carried. EAST INDIA CHARTER. Mr. R. GRANT said, that as the Charter of the East India Com pany expired in 1834, and as there stood in the 3 per Cents. a debt of up. wards of twelve hundred thousand pounds sterling against the said coin patty, he therefore moved that the usual notice be conveyed to the F.'s. India Company.—Agreed to. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Monday. Several petitions in favour of the Reform Bill, were then presented, .nd the House adjourned at Haar-rasr Two o'CLocn. His Majesty will give grand dinners at the palace at St. kines's on the 21st and 27th inst. The latter dinner is to the bishops, Irish as well as English. Who could have expected, so early as 1831, to see the Parisians restoring the statue of Napoleon, on whom they turned their backs in 1815. The statue in question was put up in 1810, without the knowledge of Napoleon, by Denon, who planned the column. A few days after, Denon was riding with his master from St. Cloud to the Tuilleries.— What, said Napoleon, have you been putting on the co :man ? Only a finish, said Denon. They approached nearer. It's like a statue, said he :—it is one, said Denon. Pre sently, he exclaimed—Denon, you've played me a trick, and exposed me to remark and envy. I am sorry to see what it is but I forgive you ! When Alexander arrived in Paris, and beheld the statue on the ':olutnn overlooking all Paris—lie exclaimed with astonish ment—this man hail a towering ambition ! Wellington had the honour of causit:g it to be taken down, and the white fag to be set in its place ; but the white flag was in comparison %0 puny an object, that the substitution first brought the bite flag into ridicule and then contempt. Louis gave Wel lington the statue, but its being replaced, proves that it never was brought from Paris. Its restoration is a slap -trap to the Perier ministry, intended to make the people forget Italy, Poland, and Belgium ! What a mistake ! LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL 16. ••• We beg leave to inform our friends in Leeds, that Mr. MAIN, Central Market, has obligingly undertaken to receive Orders, Advertiscments, and Intelligence for the Stab, in regard to that Town and Vicinity. . We refer our readers to an article, under our foreign news, extracted from the German Papers received this afternoon, respecting a mediation in the Polish affairs. We hope the Poles are now in a condition to make their own terms; but nothing has to-day transpired to add or de tract from the credit which some may, perhaps, attach to what appeared in our Paper yesterday as a rumour, and assumed the following form in the Morning Chronicle of this day : A letter received by Estafette yesterday, front Paris, has the following:— PAan, Wednesday Evening. " The news of Diebitsch and his Army having been taken is confirmed." We know• not what authority the above statement is en titled to. We need hardly say we wish it true! This day we insert the corrected Population Lists, on which will be founded the assignment of Members, and the disfranchisement of Boroughs, under the new bill. It was impartial to make the returns of 1821 the basis of the measure, but just to give to all places their present ac tual rank ; for much excitement would have been created, if returns bad been generally sought, before the measure had been brought forward. Further information proved also, that the return of 1821 did not exhibit the concen trated population of a place, because subsurbe are often in adjoining parishes, expressed separately in the Population Returns ; and in other cases such parishes were combined, and then iucluded some distance in the surrounding country. The object being, however, to con fer representation uniformly, either in accordance with the concentrated population, or with that of the parishes in juxta-position, so new and discriminating returns, with re ference to the precise object, became necessary ; and these, in the list, we this day lay before our readers, we believe ex clusively. By means of this list, every place may determine for it self, what will be its fate under the bill. If it contain less than 2,000 inhabitants, it will be wholly disfranchised. If above 2,000, and less than 4,000, it will return one mem ber ; and if above 4,000 it will return two members, as heretofore. But with those who now exercise the franchise, all £lO householders will be associated, during the lives of those who enjoy the right, by usage or privilege. Now, in preparing such corrected returns, and in yielding to the Government of figures, there is not only perfect fairness, and unquestionable impartiality, but a rigorous ad herence to the original principle of the Bill. It would have been unreasonable and capricious to bind places, by errors or discrepancies, in an old list ; and no possible conduct could be more fair, consistent, and correct, than to procure corrected returns; yet the Boroughmongers and the Opponents of the Bill, with that false logic, by which they have misgoverned for a century, aro, in a tone of insolence, carping at the reasonable and just course adopted, and affecting to pretend that the principle of the Bill is thereby changed ! 1 1 Driven to such absurd and shallow reasoning, the worth of their cause may be estimated by the meanest understand ling. They now desire to make it appear, that if the cor rected returns had not been procured, they should heartily have approved of the bill ; but the truth is, that all their former objections arose from asserted errors, and discrepancies, in the lists ; and this course of argument being destroyed, by corrected lists, they gnash their teeth, and cry aloud that the principle is changed —or, alas ! in other words, that they have lost the benefit of all argument, in opposition to a measure which, happily for the world, will put an end to their wicked and profligate career. We call our Readers' attention to the interesting extracts wbich we this day exclusively publish, from a " Singapore Chronicle," just received, by a ship from that Settlement. It will be seen, that the American Government is earnestly applying itself to propitiate commercial connection, with the Islands in the Pacific. We believe our own government is fully aware of the im portance to future British Commerce, to retain a paramount influence in that quarter of the Globe ; and we hope, among the multifarious and distracting objects, which occupy the Colonial Department, this distant point, in which British interests should be preserved, has not been neglected. We have often taken occasion to declare our opinion, that no opportunities should be lost to obtain British sovereignty, or at least British paramount influence, over the various Islands which stud the ocean. There is an unjust clamour, very predominant among a certain class of Politicians against Colonies—arguing from abuse against use. But Bri tain is in a state to pour forth its swarms. Res traint on such—the law of nature—was always absurd and noxious. Encouragement is wise; or at least it is unwise, not to dissipate the obstructions, which ignorance and prejudice set up against the Daiwal destiny cftl.e human race. Man, perhaps it may be generally said, was never too numerous for happiness, provided the state of society were organised appropsiately to their numbers ; but that has sel dom, or never been the case ; and the consequence has been at all times, as it is now here, that inconveniences, de structive of happiness, are experienced. Let the Legis• lator call forth, more efficiently, the energies of the people ; or, rather, let him clear away the existingobstructions to their energies, and all will be right. One of those energies is, to have free power of locomotion ; and the indulgence of this natural propensity is not only remedial of individual present distress, but, we maintain, preservative of the future permanence of British authority in the Globe. A Nation establishing Colonies, is like a parent of a large family, settling off his children to be the supporters of his age. In the House of Lords, last night, Lord ROSEDERRY presented a petition from the intelligent Society for the En couragement of Industry, urging the adoption of Poor Laws in Ireland. Lord LIM ERICK opposed the idea, and Lord TE NII AM supported it. Two petitions were presented against the Beer Bill. On the presentation of a Reform petition, the Duke of NEWCASTLE justified the representation of Boroughbridge, and compared the influence on members in the royal house hold with that of patrons. He wished parliament to avail itself simply of the voluntary surrenders that had been made, and to let the reform end there. The Duke of RICHMOND asked him whether, if Sir C. WeTtietteLL supported the bill, he would continue mem ber for Boroughbridge ? To which the Duke of Newcastle, with great naivete, replied, that he would in that case, not be allowed to retain his seat ! So much for the independence of the members for Boroughbridge, and other rotten boroughs ! In the House or COMMONS, Mr. HARVEY explained his opinions about the Church establishment, as misrepre sented by Colonel TYRRELL ; but the latter reiterated his charges, for which the Speaker called him to order, and Mr. Wesreas stated that Col. TYRRELL had gone out of his way, to assail Mr. HARVEY. A discussion of considerable length arose between Mr. BLACKETT, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. G. DAWSON, Sir C. WETHERELL, Mr. W. BANKES, Mr. HUDSON GUR NEY (Member for Newton), Lords STORMOUNT acid EASTNon, and Sir R. PEEL, in which jealousy was evinced of the correctness of the returns in the STAR of this day, and the retention of Caine, treated as a favour to the Mar quis of LANsnowHE. Lord Joiix RUSSELL, and the supporters, justified the returns ; and stated that figures alone determine Schedule (A) for total disfranchisement, and also (B.) for reduction of one member. Great anxiety was expressed to know whether the mere town, or the parish, was to be considered ; but Lord JOHN declined to answer till Monday. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, it was agreed, with out any dissenting voice, to make the same allowance, £lOO,OOO per annum, to the present QUEEN, in case of the demise of the Kiwa, as had been allowed to Queen CHARLOTTE. Mr. Ronwsow urged the propriety of conceding a Legis • lature to Newfoundland, and Lord Howicx said it was under consideration. Mr. BUXTON then commenced the main business of the evening; and, in as feeling, eloquent, and impressive speech as ever had been heard in Parliament, described the wretched and hopeless condition the Slaves, who, in the Torrid Zone, are compelled to prepare the European luxuries, of sugar, rum, &c. Slavery, it appears, decreases the black popula tion as two to one, and manumission in:tresses it as one to two; so that the 700,000 Slaves in the West Indies, are now reduced to 600,000, and the continuance of sla very- would therefore be the death-warrant of thousands. He moved a Resolution to the following effect : " That the Home had, on the 15th of May, 1823, recognised to the full extent, the expediency of abolishing Colonial Slavery, and passed a Resolution, recommending melsures to be taken with that view ; but that, during the eight years which had since passed, the Colonial Assemblies had not adopted adequate measures to carry this recommendation into effect ; that the House was impressed with a convic- I tion of the impolicy, inhumanity, and injustice of Colonial Slavery, and would proceed forthwith to devise means for abolishing it throughout the British dominions." 1 Lord MORPETII seconded the motion, and ably enlarged on the nefarious character of the system. Mr. K. DOUGLAS stated that he should recommend a committee to enquire and illustrate the entire subject. Lord AL't Ho RP stated, that he had always been friendly to the measure; Lut that it was a delicate question, and that the slaves were not in a state qualified for emancipation. He thought a committee would not add to our knowledge; and advised that, for the present, the house should merely enforce the existing laws, for the protection of the slaves, and the amelioration of their condition, and he moved amendments to that effect. Mr. BURGE objected, because the stake was a produce of sixteen millions per annum, and no were not sufficiently ac quainted with colonies at so great a distance. He should, however, prefer a committee of inquiry. Lord How ICK adopted the same line of argument as Lord Althorp, and ascribed all the difficulties to the reluctance of the Colonial Assemblies, to adopt the wishes of the British Legislature. Mr. STEWART said, that all the West India Interest de sired was unflinching inquiry. Mr. Twiss thought the discussion pregnant with danger, and lamented the obstacles which were locally opposed to the resolutions of that House in 1823. Dr. LUSHINGTON congratulated the H?use, that no one advocated Slavery ; and hoped, whatever might be the fate of the Resolution, emancipation was at hand. Sir R. PEEL opposed the Resolutions, and entered a length into the difficulty of coercing the Colonial Assemblies. Mr. A. BARING said, they must either legislate directly for the West Indies—coax the West Indies—or force the West Indies. He was for a Committee of Inquiry. • r:y 11v, ATTORNEY-GENERAL, with greit eloquence, de precated the system of Slavery, and supported the amend ments of Lord ALTIIORP. Mr. HUNT then moved an adjournment, which being seconded by Mr. O'CoN NELL, the House adjourned at hall put two o'clock. r'OREIGN INTELLIGLSCE. FRONTIERS OF SILESIA, MARcit 31 —lt Is very geue, rally believed, that the great Powers. moved by the heroic efforts of the Poles, have been ins Fired aid' a desire to take some steps in their favour ; and to induce the E.niperos of Russia to 'thew borne indulgence to a nation, which ha:, indeed committed great faiths, but I.as . many ex cuses to allege for its illegal conduct. It is be. lieved, that the Emperor will not be displeased at a medi ation which must correspond with his own humane feelings, and save from destruction a nation, and a country belonging to him, whose preservation and prosperity are as much fns the interest of Russia, as of the Poks. It is difficult to calculate what sacrifices must be made by both parties, if the contest should be prolonged ; and it cannot be dissembled, that if the honour of the Russian crown requires that it should make itself obeyed anti respected. it is equally ins portant for it to prevent the desolation of a country, which, under whatever form it may be, must remain subject to the Russian sceptre. The Emperor has no longer any intentiati of incorporating the kingdom of Poland with the Russian empire : he will have it placed under a distinct government, with free institutions ; and if he has not yet foimally ex plained himself to this effect, the reason is to be sought in the vicissitudes of the fortune of war, which have kept the Poles from repentance and submission, which were demanded at the very outset, in too positive a manner. Now that the Polish diet has several times shown itself disposed to negotiations, to which Count Diebitsch was not authorised to accede, the mediation of friendly powers ; on 1 eing assured of the more favourable sentiments of the Emperor, might be of the happiest effect in leading to an amicable arrangement. It is greatly to be wished, that the intervention of the powers may lead to a happy and speedy conclusion, as the Poles are ready to fight to the last, and rather to perish, than to survive the disgrace of seeing the name of their illustrious nation effaced from the list of European states. They receive pecuniary assistance from several quarters. Many Polish officers in foreign service have left, to assist their distressed countrymen —Allgemeine Zeitung, April 9. VIENNA, APRIL 2.—General Chlopicki hat been here for some days. It is said he will try the effect of the waters in the neighbourhood of Baden. The report that negociations are on foot, for the amicable arrangement of the affairs of Poland, gains ground. It is said to-day, that the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna have undertaken the mediation ; and will each send a negociator to Warsaw. These pacific reports, and the favourable news from our army in the Papal States, have caused our Bank Shares to rise to-day to 985. The two negotiators above alluded to, are said to be Gen. Langenan for Austria, and Gen. Muffling for Prussia.— Nuremburg Correspondent, April 8. ITALY.—MILAN, APRIL 4.—Since the engagement of Catolica, the Italian patriots under the command of Zucchi, pressed in front by the Austrian army, and in the rear by a column of 12,000 men, who had passed through Tuscany, were unable to stop until they reached Ancona,the fortress of which, being unprovided with any kind of provisions, offered no means of defence. Yielding to the urgency of events, Zucchi was obliged to treat with Car dinal Benvenuti, who was in his power, dis banded his troops, and embarked, with a party of 98 patriots, on board an Italian merchant vessel at Ancona. They had scarcely cleared the port, when their vessel was attacked by an Austrian frigate, which left the port of Ve nice for that purpose, and they were taken prisoners to the latter place, where, in damp dungeons, they must suffer the cruelties of the police, and remain until they are led forth to the scaffold. The Duke of Modena, proud of the protection of Austria, shows himself in every re spect worthy of his reputation. The courts-martial re established by him will, no doubt, send numerous victims to the gallows. Cero Menotti is to be strangled in prison, and his house is to be razed to the ground. Wo to any tine who dared to utter an expression of liberty, or took up arms and rushed to the battle ; and still more unfortunate will be those to whom public esteem intrusted offices of responsibility and authority.

PORTUG•L. —The determination of the French Govern ment to enforce the release of Mr. Saul inet is stated upon semi-official authority. Lisbon was to be blockaded, and the French Consul to come on board a French ship, in case of refusal. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. Up to the present time, w•e are without any Continental information. No foreign mails have arrived, or any skip letters of consequence. Consols, which left off yesterday at 78ii for the Accuunt, opened at the same price, and were up to 78i buyers ; since which the market lins been rather fidgety, and Consols are at present 784, with little doing. The success of the Reform Biil, which at present ra ther regarded by the speculators as doubtful, in some dc;:ree, operates on the markets. We do not hear of an express from Paris this mcraing, although one is expected. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. Exchequer Bills have improved to 14 16. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have been done at 78i in the earl• part of die day, and are at present 78i for the Account, and for Money 7Ri, with little or nothing doing. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds are t per cent. higher, owing to 50,000 having been purchased. Nothing doing in other foreign funds. The Lisbon packet, H hich was to 'rave sailed on Wed nesday last, has been detained by government. It is nip posed they are waiting for despatches from the French go vernment, and it is said she will take out despatches of im portance from our government. The Duchess of Cumberland, attended by Miss Cooper visited the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Sophia, on Thursday, at the King's Palace, at Kensington. Earl Grey, the Duke of Devonshire, and the Duke of Gordon, yesterday had audiences of the King.
