Pr'" laid down and recognised as a point of raglan*. should be interfered with. As to the probable miltsevi iptence of passing this Bill, his connection with tl* colonies might be able to give the House an ' a iry of forming some judgment, as be happened i o haw that there were many Slave Owners witeliiiig the result of this application, to follow it uti With similar ones, if successful. They looked upon this gentleman as the forlorn hope of the party, and there ap peared to be a regular system to break up the *riot Hies which the Legislature had thought proper to draw on this particular subject. He could not doubt that they would have numerous applica tions of a similar nature, when he knew that a slave was worth fifty pounds in Antigua, sad Int. iel Demerara. If the House were to admit this principle of transporting slaves from an Island to a continent, it would be fraught with the most sell csa seqeences to the slam themselves,—it was to pro tect data that the prohibition had originally Wei o ak, sad to continue that protection be should now o ppose this Bill. What means of control be world ask, would that House or the Colonies be able to afford is prevention or suppression of insurrection in the event at such a removal? In a situation like Demerara, w ith a waste country and extensive woods in the rear. &headset opportunities were offered to the negro to desert, and make in bodies settlements out of the reach of the Colony. from which might be created a source of isserrection of the most formidable nature. In order that vireos should be well treated, it was necessary that sec urity of possession should exist in the mind of tkc asr usr. If there were not this, but a constant ap prehaudoe is the mind of the slave owner that his slaves twirl desert, measures of rigour and severity 'Gehl saturally be resorted to, and consequent ill treatment result to the slave. He should forbear co lorist isto questions of the policy of removing slaves f ro , ; the soil where they were born. He would merely say that his opinion, generally speaking, was decidedly against the policy of each a principle. Under all the cireentstances he thought the House could not assent to this Bill, calling on them to sanction the removal elf 329 negroes from a place where they were living in comfort, and even deriving the benefits of a high state of moral instruction, to a situation where they were not likely to enjoy any of these advantages. but in all probability be placed in a much worse situa tion. He concluded by moelag an Amendment to the Hon. Gentleman's motion. that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. Mr. CALCRAFT supported the motion, on the ground that it would place the matter in a state of for wardness to go to a Committee, where the case could be investigated, and its policy settled. Dr. PHILLIMORE objected to the Bill, and strongly deprecated the measure. It was in direct opposition to the measure of the Legislature of Antigua, passed in 1817, that no slaves should be transported from that island. The real question before the House was. who. ther they would permit 329 freehold inhabitants of Au tigua. living iu a dry soil and healthy climate, to be transported to an unhealthy and wretched spot. The principal was, whether they were to permit Slave Mas ters to do with their slaves whatever might be most ad vantageous to them. If they were to admit it, how would they be able to call on Foreign Powers for a re regnition of what they themselves ;omitted to be in. fringed? Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that it was asserted that the Bill was a dill intended not only for the benefit of the Proprietor but of the Slaves. The latter part of the as section was at least doubtful. To say that a Bill for the removal of 329 persons from the place of their birth,en deared to them by the habits of early association, could be acceptable to those persons, was to say that which was opposed to the feelings of our common nature. With re spect to the benefit which the Bill was likely to confer upon the slaves it sought to remove, he believed it would be difficult to make that benefit appear to them or to the House. The situation of the Negro population in Anti gua was much improved—Negroes were allowed to vote at Elections, to _give evidence in Courts of Justice, and to sue at law. lint at Demerara, the unhappy persons transported would be mere slaves—hopeless and unfor tunate—out of the hope of freedom, and out of the reach of civilisation. The Hon. Gentleman next observed. that iu Antigua a number of slaves had been recently emancipated. Of course the hope of freedom in such a country was always within view, as it was often the re ward of good conduct, industry and integrity, but in De wean that refreshing hope would be for ever blighted. Christianity had extended to half the population of As. tigua, and had its consequent good effect on their tem poral condition. It was recollected, too, that the slaves on one plantation formed connexions and even marriages with those on other plantations, so that though all the young were transported, they would be torn pro bably from those who were most dear to them, and carry with them the seeds of discontent and disquietude. It sheeted the superior state of the island of Antigua, that it wag stated in answer sent out by . the G o vernment, that obeah, the sort of magic superstition which produced terrible consequences on the negroes in other 'stands, was no more regarded there than witchcraft in Eng land at present. The cause was, that Christianity, though it had not entirely prevailed. bad shed a sort of twilight over the whole of the island.—lt was to berentesabered, that the Legislature of Antigua bad passed a law to prevent the transport of slaves oat of their island; and if we were reluctant to interfere with the colonial legislature even in favour oft slaves, they should at least abstain from interfering wih them to the prejudice of the slaves. Mr. Maxwell might now transport his nerves to the estate w hich he ition posses from a sed in Grenada; he (Mr. W.) had withheld oppos former Bill of this kind which had been fonnerly paned. and which was now appealed to as a precedent.— to This made him the mom earnest in his opposition this Bill, as, if it passed, they could never refine future applications; he should deem-himself guilty of the bleed of these poor people if he acceded to it. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, if the Ow eiple of the Bill was good, it should be (Hear 1 .) —The question was. whether the Learned Oss Ileums who proposed the Bill was prepared fie pat the proposition on its general footing. 1j they the fertile lands of tie British imse . oa sent to the negroes of lamasnoseess is the situation of lie. of the West der Maxwell, theysealed the &Failed** din Islands.

Het how did these arias& eerie apply ?It was certain that the slaves could sot seadaue in AsdivA t that Mr. Maxwell met be relasd, if he widow" the cultivation of his estate with theft; aid the was, whether it was better that he i t s z sheald ed, as the chaste et traffic di es ebedil IS together is one body ' ender the paterual esseveneeet under which they had bees for 00 years. Mr. Maxwell la,► ing, dories the whole of his at, not perchassi a single sere. As to the e st ate M r. Maxwell bad in Oreaada, it was merely 20 short of the full number of bases, sad that deficiency arose from his having always acted ea his principles as as abolitionist, sad we having ever purchased any slaves. The two gees. dens respecting the Bill were, as to the happiness et the Regress, sad the danger of the example. As to the first, be thought it would be necessary to make out a very strong case against Demerara be fore they could decide that it woad be worse to seed the Degrees there in a body with all their friends sad neighbours.thantedisperse them with all the chanciest creel masters and cruel overseers. The objections te Demerara were, that the laws were bad. It was the fault of the House if they were so, and surely that was not an argument which they, whose duty it was to amend the laws, should use. If the laws were too bad for 100 slaves, they were certainly too bad for the 100,000 who were now in the colony. As to the cli mate, it sou to be recollected that Dr. l'inkhard, whose book had bees referred to, was in the Colony 20 years ago, when so much less of it was cleared than at present. However he would not support the Bill if it should not be satisfactorily proved that the cli mate was not destructive. An objection had been raised because this was a private Bill ; but it was at tended with this advantage, that Mr. Maxwell was strictly bound to proof. As to the danger of example, he now proposed to withdraw the present preamble, and to recite the facts of the case as they should be proved. Mr. Maxwell was also willing to stipulate that he should establish a precedent in favour of the negro population, by being bound to purchase an estate and keep them together on it. He was ready also to have it made imperative upon him to purchase only such a place as the Authorities of the Colony should certify the salubrity of. He was ready also to build a Chnreh, and to endow it for a Minister of the Church of England or Scotland, for the benefit of the Negroes. The Honorable and Learned Gentle• man concluded with observing, that no danger toad result from the precedent which this Bill wosIC establish with respect to the transportation of Slaves. while its adoption must serve materially to improve the l condition of the Slaves to whom it alluded. Sir It. WILSON shortly opposed the Bill. It had been urged, as a reason for the measure, that if Mr. Maxwell should notbepermitted to transport these slaves to Demerara, they would be of no use; and they would of course, diminish in value in Antigua. He would ask, was it not an object with the friends of the abolition that the slaves should diminish in value? And ought not the circumstance to be hailed with p lea sure by all who looked with pleasur e upon ipplacline of the traffic ? Mr. BARING had no hesitation It expressing his opinion of the soundness of the principle contained in this Bill, as a general principle. The Gallant General thought he ought to rejoice at the divoination of the va lue of a slave in Antigua. Now the circumstance if ex amined, would be found calculated to entail a series of miseries upon the slaves, because when mien they are lowered in value their masters would become i ildifferent to them, and the consequence would be, thettliey will become the objects, and perhaps, the victims of-all man ner of ill-treatment. He looked upon this qtiestion with reference to the principle of an overstock of Ropiliet , ion. I fs In the present case , there app eared to be a s bun dance of slaves in Antigua , and this Gentle looked ro und and Axed upon a place of comparative thin po pulation, where the surplus might be transported. Woolf any one say that this was a harsh step to the individual , themselves, or dangerous as a precedent? He, for one, rejoiced that an opportunity was opened for giving vent to an overstock, and that the time wss come when a po pulation of slaves was not to be thinned by the effects of misery. Being persuaded of the soundness of the r . neral principle, he should expect it to be satisfactorily made out that Antigua laboured under the inconvenience of an overstocked population. Mr. PEEL declared that he had known nothing of the merits of this question until he had heard it dis cussed this evening; but from the case made out by the Gentlemen themselves who supported the Bill, he had no hesitation in saying that it ought to be indignantly rejected by the House.—(Hear, hear.) —The Learned and Hon. Gentleman maintained that it was desirable, for the solace of the blacks, that they should be allowed to preserve the connections they had formed, and that they should remain in their native land upon the prits. l ciple of the sdeeripts 'labia. Yet with a ll the Learned 1 Gentleman's reverence for the edreriptes glebia be would transport these 300negroes from Antigua to D► nserara.—(A laugh. and hear.) —Sure he was, that these blacks, if removed at all from Antigua, would much ro• ther be transferred to any of the other Islands, free which they might ,hope to have some opportunity et again seeing their native island, than to be transported to the remote settlement of Demerara. Bet was it net strange that while the Learned Gentleman landed the principle of the edseripts 'Moue, be should still se commend a measure involving the direct violation of that principle? Mr. BARHAM spoke in favour of the Bill, observing. that the best way to extinguish slavery was to raise th be e co ndition of the mass of slaves, which w as only to done by augmenting their comforts and extend in g their instruction as this Bill proposed. But there was a con dition connected with this Bill which particularly re commended it to his attention, and that was that a hisny slave should be entitled to his freedom upon p ayiag value. The case, however. between both sides of the House was this, that the one affirmed what the other de nied, and all that those who supported his views re quired at present was an investigation, in order to ascer tain upon which side the truth lay. Sir 1. COFFIN said, that he bad been at Antigua as well as at the other West lads Colonies, and, from rob weal observation. be could declare that he sever sae the slaves so kindly treated as they were at Assigns; therefore, he believed that lie 300 slaves to wham the Bill referred wouldas soon submit to have their throats cut as to be transported to Demerara. On a division the muttbers were—For the second reading. 47.—Agalast it, Majorlty, 111. The Bill of coarse is loot. Tilt SUDO irr. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHBQUIR moved the Order for tbe Howe to lnes a Committee. Mr. HUMS, edverieg ts o me printed rapers el. _ . 09 . . .06•. ••• . . . plesilest)" ei the redo of the Phenelleso which bi e d a distribleed is the none of the evesispespreseed surprise hid regret that say partiality had been is the distribution of each Papers. Such partiality! was. indeed. highly improper. He was aware that It wee through the favour of Government that such is formed., as these Papers oontaieetl was given ta the Memberi of that Hone, bat then such information should sot be unitised to particular persons friendly to the llinieters, instead of being put into the biads of those wild, open examination, might be able ti detect say fallacy which appeared in those Papers, or to make an unbiassed are of any cermet information which they + alight costain. I The CHAVCELLORef the EXCHEQUER declar ed that he hulls* disposition whatever to *Action all partial distribution of these papers, which were Weeded for the gement use of the House. But the fact was. that they were not ready for delivery until a late hoer to-day, and be had sot himself received &copy of them until live o'clock this evening. After several public accounts were ordered to be re ferred to the Committee, the House risolved into it ; and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, evidently under a great degree of depreseloo, which rendered him still less audible than usual. From the arrangements made by the Hone last Session with re gard to our keepers, the Right Hoe. Gentleman said that be felt telieved from the necessity of entering inch at length into the subject oe the present occasion. The House had already voted, with some slight exep 'ions, the various Estimates for the year, and he was now called upon to present the usual anneal ',position of the Ways and Means to meet those Supplies. This was a task, which he could wish, particularly from a recent melancholy event, had devolved epos tome other person.—(Hear, hear, hear, the Right Honourable Gentleman being understood t.) allude to the death of Mr. Morton Eden.)--There were many of his friends who were mach more competent to the under taking. Bat anilerstandidg that to decline or to postpone this undertaking would be productive of pub lic embarrassment, he felt it incumbent upon him to come forward and do his duty.—(Hear.)--He would therefore eadesvonr to state as clearly and as shortly as possible the estimated expenditure for the year, with the resources forthcoming to defray that expenditure; and first he would recapitulate the Snpplies. For the Supply lof the Army the House had voted, accordieg to tbe Es timates, 8,7t0,00ui., which was 693.2431. lees than the vote of last year, that vote being 9,443,243/. For the Navy, 6,176,7001., which was 409,11113/. less than the vote of last year, that vote being 6,508,6981. The vote for the Ordnance was 1393,1001. which was less than the vote of last year by 1,3301. that vote being 1,929.6 101 . Of the miscellaneous services the much greslet rt had been already voted, but some items still for consideration. The total estimated amount o Able bead of service was 1,1000,000/. which was less than vote lof last year by 544,0001. that vote being for 2,44000/. 1 , The total of these supplies then was 18,02000/. while that for the last year was 13,673,688/. So that the total reduction of the public expense since the last year I was 1,652,688.—(Hear , hear, hear. on the Ministerial I Benches.) The amount of interest on Exchequer Bills was the same for the present, _es it was for the last year, namely, one million. UpoulibisAisonal Taxes he had 4 taken a c it of 4010,0601. instead of 3,0000101., as was t ions practice, foellllloason which he would explain o the Committee. A certain portion of the Ex cise Duties which hatbilsemeimenied doing ire war. and which would have expired on the Mb of July next, had been continued es par t of the amount of the an neal taxes, instead of being added to the Consolidated Fund. In the next article, therefore, he proposed to take a credit of only L 500,0001. upon the Excise Duties instead of 2,500,000/., which had been granted in the preceding year, a portion of them being transferred to the Annual Taxes. The amount therefore of the An imal Taxes and the Excise Duties, taken collectively, would still be 5,500,0001. For the Lottery he took a credit of 200,0001. instead of 240,0001., which had been taken in the last year. For Old Stores he took a credit of 163,000/. The next item was one of a novel and ex traordinary kird, and would require some explanation. This was the surplus of pecuniary i n d em nity, payable by the French Government. amounting to a sum of 800,000/. He regretted that it was not in his power to lay before the Mouse a complete and detailed ac count, but he would endeavour to give them some general idea of the amount of the sums received and their general application. The total amount of the sums received bad been nearly 125,001000 livres, Silligenting to about 5,000,0001. sterling. From these gems the bounty of Parliament had bestowed a donation of 1,0110,8001. upon the army employed in the late glo rious exploits. The expences of the Army of Occupa tion were to have been met entirely by the produce of the French indemnity, but as there were some incidental ex peocee and allowances on the footin g of pay to the foreign armies. a considerable increase of expenditure bad attended the residence of the British army on the Continent. The sums issued by the Paymaster-tieneral for the pay of the troops in France, amounted to 1,200.000/. In addition to this, there were the pay ments to the Hanoverian troops, and some other payments made to indemnify persons who had claims upon the British Government arising oat of the Treaty of Paris. The particulars of these payments would he laid before the House at the earliest opportunity. After providing for all these charges. and a farther payment of 2,01.10,000/. sterling for fortifications in the Netherlands, there still remained applicable to the service of the present year. a surplus of 500,0001. payable by the French Government. Besides this there might still perhaps be a sm all wind ing up applicable to the service of the next yea r. The next head was the repayment of Exchequer Bills ad vanced for the expences of public works under the Act of ltfl9. In the last year the sum realised amounted to 198,0001. and in the present year the Exchequer /.He Bills repaid were likely to a mount to a sum of 125,000 could not advert to this part of the subject without ob serving that those public works had afforded most ma terial assistance to the industry of the country , and h ad revived many languishing branches of trade. The House had reason to congratulate itself for baying produced this important result without bringing . any fresh charge upon the public. The only remaining item was the surplus of the Ways and Means of 1820, amounting to a sum of 81,630/. The total amount therefore of what might be called the ready. money produce of the resources of the year was 6,570,0301. In order to meet the services of the year, which amounted to 20,018,0001., it had been neces sary to take a loan from the Sinking Food of 13,000,0001. that is, 12,500,000 1 . from the Sinking ' Fund in England. aad 800,000/. from the Sinking Fund is Ireland. Notwithstanding this diminution of the Sinking Feed in Ireland, there would be still a considerable sant applicable for the purchase of stock is Dublin. The re-transfer of stock from Ire land to England would be a measure calculated to fa cilitate the purchase and circulation of stock upon both sides of the water. To this sum was to be added a sail et 0001. Irish, a mounting in British ear- MEW' to eu _....._-......, -----....... t 461:53111. for the increase of the n od a of Irelaad. The whole amount of the Ways 114 ails was conseqeently 20,031,501.1eaviait as excess of about 111,0001. over the serviette ti= whisk ammented to 20,018,200/. Prom this it it wo uld appear how large the redectioas lad im beim ie the course of the present.yeem He did Set feel h self entitles to hold forth any distinct expeetatiens as to the particular reductions which were further in cos templatioa, but be was at liberty to state that his Ma jesty's Government were most aesiously directiag their attendee to every practicable retrenchment, and that " wil ls cohortshisetrenrtedweeithtiotnheofseethuedptyubalaittdc eshoPteionnarinicTithme Wintry, would be brought sedertht.consideration of Parliament in the neat Session. :fie was boned. how otter, is candela to state, that there were one or to fir seasstaeces which were la some degree nufsroanble to the prospect of tedecieg ear eipenditnre. Dee of Woe decenniums was the claim upon the public likely to arise from the charire'of the Out-Pero sioners, if not is the ln-Pensioners of Greenwich Hospital. That charge had hitherto been defray ed by the Funds of the Hospital, twig-Wally arisiag from sums accumulated during war out of time unclaisr.ed prise money. There was a sum in toady money. beside the accumulated fends, which was suffi cient to provide for the whole charges of the presen t year, but a fltaltt had arisen, whether, in voila of law, the sums accumulated in the hands of the Dlvea tors could be applied to the expenses of the Oat-Pen sioners, after defraying the whoie charge for the In- Pensioners. This would bring a charge to the public of 300,0001. a-year, and be WAS out certain whether it would be necessary or not in the present year to apply to Parliament fur some pravi,ion upon the subject. There was soother circumstance to which be would allude in a more general manner, and that was the claim of the East India Company upon Government. The Coutpany had applied for the settlement of that claim. and there was no indisposition on the part of the Government to come to a fair adjustment of it. A strict investigation would, however, be required. and be was not prepared to say at what time, or seder what circenestaaces, if ever, it might be just ye to apply to Parliament on the subject. — If be found necessary, In the course of the present Session, to apply to Parlisment, on account of either of those services, he certainly should not require the authority of the House to any far ther grant of Ways and Means.—(A Member ingoistoi the amount of the East India Company's claims?).---moo nominal amount of their claims was 2,000,000/., bit there were conflicting claims on both sides which would very considerably reduce that sum, and he could only say that Government desired nothing hut a fair investlge don. He had shewn that the supply of the veer, Including 500,000/. for Irish Tremor BilK e t e r f i l d t N 16,4001. for public works, amonMed to MA 1.. and that the total of the Ways and Mear.s was WWI, - With respect to the mode in which the Sinitieg sad Loan operated upon the pnrchases made by the i missioners, it would he satisfactory to persons coerce*, ed in the funds to learn, that by the present amaer► meat, although 12,000.0001. only were takes in no course of twelve months from July, 11141, to July, 1021, yet 12,400,0 00 /. were ta ken from ilia. I*, to Job. 1921, so that the UM taken from the Sieltieg Peed in the course of the last year impended lw feet to a pep! sum than it would do in the present year. Zl i p Wim an important point of vi ne in which the "hdll been considered by the Finance Committee& Thom Committees, besides itiwavelling the public atteents, drew up an account of ole payments in cash frees like Exchequer in the coarse of each year, ettbiltitiog the amount placed to the reduction of the dal, and shewing, from a comparison of income and espeaditure. the amount of debt, and bow much of it bad hese wade good in each year. 1 , 1 this point et view be would proceed to compare the income and espesiluste of the yeses 1820 and le2l. in Is2o the MONO actually received in the United Kingdom of Greet artists and Ireland assented in the w hole to 54,640,688/. With re spect to the actual expenditure for that yeas, the char upon the Cot isolidated Peed amounted to 48,5W.1671., for interest on the Sinking Fund of the Unfeetled Debt, 2,300,1671., making la the whole a sum of 50.897,33 5 /. for olarges, exclusive of the Si pe :lies of the year. Taking the whole amount at ex there at 71.199,854/. and dedi feting from it the amount of in come, there appeared an excess of expenditure ever the revenue amounting to 16,559,1701. But the Sulking Peed applied in the coarse of the y ear amounted to 17,508. - 773/., so that, in point of fact, there was a fur plea of ',COW over expieditnre amounting to 950071. This was not, however, a fair way of stating the account of the services of the year. for it mast be observed that the interest of the Sinkinif Vend of the Unleaded Debt was 2,300,0001., and the actual amount of a year's inte rest of the Unloaded Debt. did not exceed 1.000,000/. There was a large arrear for the interest of outstand ing Exchequer Bills amounang to 900,1100/., making a total sum applicable to the liquidation of the debt of 17.1810001. I t appeared , therefore, that in the course of the year. 1820, our sitsation with regard to the amount of our incumbrances was may improving by the sum of 17,180,000/. He would assume, that the net produce of revenue for the present year was the same as in the last year. Taking It therefore at 5,422,7141. and adding 200,0001. for Lotteries. 163,0001. Old Stores, :40,0001. Preach Indemnity, and 125,000/. repayment of Exchequer Bills, the whole would amount to 5,511,1141. The charge epee the Consolidated Fund, taking it at 100,0001. short of last year, would amount in round Numbers to 480500,0004 The interest of the Sinking hod of the Unfunded Debt was 1,700,0001. and the whole services of the year, without going through the details, would amount to 58,221,000/. Deduct in, the amount of revenue for the payments al ready enumerated, there would be as expenditure of 13309,816 i. beyond the income. With respect to the Sinking Fund, the nominal amount this year woe 16. 800 1 000/ .9 and the actual automat of the reduction a debt would be 3,590,000/. Adding a sum of 400,001: for interest of Exchequer Bills, which were overdue, it appeared that the excess of income over espenditeee for the present year amounted to about 4,000,0001. It would be recollected that a clear gamins of 5,000.00 W: was contemplated last year ; and although that paint was not likely to be reached, unless the revenue so creased very considerably, there was every reason to suppose that they should approach to it in the Non of 4to 5. He bad ass umed that the reveneeP7:lflle present year woold not fall abort of that of last year. and be would Mats the grounds upon which he had made that assumption. The receipts of the tithe quer, in the S months betwee n the sth of Jam. sty ' sad Ist of June, 1890, amounted to 111,5111 1 .11141. t but there was a sant of 312,363/. paid soon a stock in hand for the Malt Tat. wed in the preceding year. which fettled no O of the revenue ef that year.
