MONEY MARKET A 2, D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the last few days the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been moderately active. Tea at public sale has realised an advance of id to id per lb. on the better qualities of Con gous, but green has been of lower value. Sugar has continued at steady quotations, and coffee and cocoa met a moderate demand at former quota tions. Saltpetre has been in fair request, and the finer descriptions obtained fully late quotations, but inferior qualities were at a decline of about ls. Per cwt. on late rates. The transactions in tallow have been of a limited character. P. Y.C. on the spot has declined to 22s 9d ; July to September, 5 13 3d ; and last three months, 50s 9d per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed Steadily, but prices slightly declined. The sales Were estimated at 10,000 bales, 2,500 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the ex porters. In Railway Shares there was no altera tion either in values or demand. During the last few days nearly 400,0001. has been received from Australia and America. This large influx is likely to be followed by further ra . in ittances in the course of the next fortnight, which it is thought will more than suffice to meet the foreign demand. The Indemnity, with 44,5001., W&& announced yesterday afternoon from Mel bourne, but it is considered probable that this sup ply will be at once bought for transmission to Paris. The demand for money continues active, but no further alteration in rates can be reported. The active revenue collections and the preparations for loan and commercial payments have produced in creased animation in the discount market, but the Movement is considered merely temporary in its character. The Baron Osy from Antwerp has brought silver to the value of about 40,000/., showing that in creased purchases of that metal are being made on Eastern account. The Council of State in France are stated to have adopted the treaty concluded between the Midi Railway Company and the Languedoc Canal C°133111113% The English Stock Market is rather heavy, transactions having been recorded at a slight de cline. This unfavourable movement is attributed to the approach of the settlement, and the disin clination to effect speculative purchases. Consols have been 95i I, and they are now about 95g. A few sales have been made by parties who consider 4 decline more probable than an advance, despite the rise on the Paris Bourse, and the favourable course of political affairs. The New Threes are 95 / 96 ; the Reduced 95/ 96 ; Exchequer Bills, June 21s. pm. ; Bank Stock is 2191 221 ; Indian Loan Debentures 991 ; and ditto Scrip 991.

Caledonians have declined 2 /. ; Eastern Counties, 1/. ss. ; Great Northern, Cheat Western, Midland, North-Eastern (York), and South Eastern, 1/. ; and Lancashire and York shire, North-Eastern (Berwick), and North British, about 10a. The foreign lines have been moderately active, and at slightly advanced quotations. North etti of France and Paris and Lyons improved 5s ; S outhern of France, 10s. ; and Lombardo Vene trap, ss. In the Colonial Market, East Indian , s a dvanced about 10s. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada, and Great Indian Pen insula, were at previous rates. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there was a moderate inquiry. British North Arne lican'rose 10s. ; London and County, se. ; London And Westminster, ss. Canada Land brought 124 ; t astern Steam, 3i to 31 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 78i to 79 ; and Royal Mail Steam, 59k. I RI ISH FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY.

Since Monday a fair average supply of English wheat, 1,480 quarters, has come to hand coastwise ; but the re ceipts fresh up to-day by land carriage were limited. For all kinds the demand ruled very inactive, but we have no actual change to notice in prices. Over 14,000 qrs. of foreign wheat have come in. Selected samples wore mostly held at fall quotations ; but inferior kinds were lower to purchase. Barley changed hands slowly, at late quotations. Malt, the supply of which was only moderate, met a dull inquiry at barely stationary prices. The supply of foreign oats was good ; of home-grown vety limited. The eat trade ruled healthy at previous rates. Beans and peas sold at full quotations, but the value of flour was barely supported. ARRIVALS MIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. 1,480 4 -- I 1,480 Oats.

The Earl of DONOUGLIM ORE said that, in conse quence of the resignation by Mr. M'Dermott of the office he held in thecoun'yof Kerry, there would been occasion to proceed further in the matter, as the object of the Government had been obtained. He, therefore, moved that the order for a committee of the whole house, which stood for Monday next, be read and discharged. The order was then read and discharged accordingly. PRIVATE RUSIN ESS.

The Marquis ef LANSDOWNE begged to call the attention of the house to a subject of considerable importance. At the same time expressed his regret tha: the noble Earl at the head of the Government was pre vented being present. The subject was one admitting of no delay, bad been for a long time not under considers the mo.t ser i ous at mearathe new sellensent t o i f o n th b o u t Government inviewofha t ( i ) i f ouehe India, (Hear, hear.) This quite important that shouldquestion whichr egard it withwas tat tion as the other house of Parliam en t, b u t neverthe lesstwhaes h a ous g e u e a great many bills were now passed late in the session whilst their lordships had not fu'l time to con sider. He had learnt, from the usual public channels of information, that this great qoeetion, after having assumed various aspects there, had entirety at one time been lost in what he considered needless preliminary in• quiries. It now appeared that by some good fortune they had at last foundout the riehtroad,and that they werenow in a position to communicate to their lordshipsthe progress they had made, He did not, at the present moment, intend to express any opinion on the subject, his simple °tint being to contribute, as far as possible, to the early despatch of the measure, and, therefore, he begged to ask whether the Government had any objection to propose to the Reuse of Commons to com municate to their lordship the resolutions whick they bad just passel:, without waiting for the passing of the bill. By communicating these resolutions their lordships would be enabled ti fulky consider the :hole of the measure, and thus to form their opinions without waiting for the detailed measure, which could not be received for a considerable time. He therefore begged to ask, whether there would be any objection on the part of her Majesty's Government to propose to the other house to make the communication to which he had referred Y (Hear, hear.) The Earl of MAL MESEURY said in the absence of his noble friend at the head of the Government, he would ask the noble marquis to permit to pospone until Monalsy next a pusitive answer to his question, In the meantime be would communi cate his observations to his noble friend, who would give them all the consideration their importance de served.

Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice that he would on Gth July call the attention cf the house, and more a resolu. tion, relative to the destruction of property belonging to Britilh subjects in the Guff of Bothnia, during the late Rug.ian war. THE GERMAN LEGION AT THE CAPE. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked the Sc.cretary of State for War, from what fund th e G e rman Legion at the Cape of Good Hope had been paid during the last year ;he fiel , l allowances and full pay which the governor of that colony waiFtated to have issued t e them General PEEL said ti at thepay and allowance re ferred to had been paid by Sir George Grey out of the coeutnibgariat cha-t instead of out of the col thial rove.. nue. L , ;rd Panmure, when in office, sent out instruc tions that the Gmnan Legion muit be paid by the colony and nog by the imperial Givernment, and he (Gen. Pee') entirely agreed with the noble lord, and bal rypeated them wince he had been in office. KISSING A YOUNG LADY AGAINST HER WILL. Mr. FITZROY, amidst cries of "hear, hear," and cheers, asked the Secretary of State for Vac, Home Department whether his attention had been called to a case which had recently occurred before the Wareham Petty Session, when a carper.ter of tb e name of Craft was sentenced, under the Aggravated Assaults Act, to six mo:tths' imprisonment, with hard labour, for kis,ing the daughter of the Rev. B. C. Collins, of Farringdou Rectory, Devon, on lauding from a stea, er between Poole and Swanage. The bon. gentleman in the course of his observations:said that the act referred to which he in troduced was very often perverted from its original intention. - Mr. WALPOLE said his attention bad not been called to the case intimated by the hon. gentleman's question, but if his hon. friend would procure the facts to be laid before him he would look into them and see if the act of which he was the author required amendment or not. The preamble was very different to the body of the act. (Hear, hear.) CHINA. Mr. HORSF ALL asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether there was any truth in the reports which appeared in the French papers of an arrangement restricting the discretionary powers of the plenipotentiaries in China, and ordering them to ne gotiate at Canton, Pain, or elsewhere. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said there was no truth in the reports that fad appeared in the hewepapers re specting a restriction of the di , cretic nary powers of the plenipotentiaries. THE SLAVE TRADE. On the motion for the adjournment of the house till Monday, Mr. P. O'BRIEN called the attention of her Majesty's Government to the inexpediz,ncy of maintaining the large naval force at present employed upon the west coast of Africa and on the West India waters, for the suppres• siou of the slave trade. THE MILITIA. Colonel FRENCH asked the Secretary of State for War if it was his intention to recommend the disembodi ment of any additional regiments of militia, and if he would inform the house on what principle the sixteen regiments lately disembodied were selected 1 General PEEL said it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government at present to disembody any more regiments of militia. The drafts of troops that went out to India was only the usual monthly demand. A larger number will be sent out next month in conse quence of a necessary delay this month. The principle adopted for disembodying these regiments was that those regiments that had given their quota to the line and were efficient should be retained, and those that had given the ncarest quota and were efficient were to have the preference over those who had not given any. THE WELLINGTON MONUMENT. Mr, STIRLING asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, if it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to order any one of the Priz Designs for the Wellington Monument, now exhibited in the conference room, to be executed for St. Paul's ; and, if not, whether he would state the coarse which the Government proposed to adopt with regard to the design and construction of the monument. He characterised the exhibition of models as a failure, and it was to be regretted so much time and labour bad been thrown away in producing models totally unfit for the severe style of Wren in connection with St. Paul'e- Lord J. MANNERS said he would answer the ques tion at a liter period of the evening. THE INFORMER BURKE. The O'DONOGHUE asked the Attorney-General fer Ireland, whether he had any objection to lay on the table a copy of the notes taken by the Solicitor-General kr Ireland in his examination of the informer Burke, after the revelations said to have been made by Berke to the policemen and driver of the car who took him from Nenagh to Roscrea ; and also a copy of Buike's evidence on the trial of the Clorrnacks He had reason to believe the cause of Burke's second I statement was the threat of the resident magistrate that unless he told who murdered Mr. Ellis he should remain in gaol till he rotted—he being in confinement at the time. The honourable gentleman also took occa sion to complain of the proceedings on the trial of the Cormacke, especially the irregular discharge of the jury on the first trial, because they did not agree to a verdict, and to the manner in which the jury for the second trial was selected. Mr. Justice Keokk, who tried tho prisoner, charged the jury in a manner as be (Mr. O'Doeoghue) hoped juries were seldom charged within these rt,altns, for he frightened the jury in a verdict of , condemnation. Every attempt was made to save them, but without success, and the men were executed on the 11th of May. Since then circumstances had occurred that tended to shake the belief in the credibi:ity of the witnesses. There was grave matter for investigatio❑ (hear, hear), and it was not right to put Burke out of the way to prevent it. There were persons to be found that had beard him say be made the statement on the trial to please the public. The ease roust sooner or later be investigated, to satisfy public indignation of feeling in Ireland. sir. GILPIN urged that the circumstances of the case should be fully investigated. Mr. BAGWELL said the greatest excitement prevailed in the county of Tipperary respecting this trial. There bad never been a trial in Ireland before this where the public feeling bad been so much excited, Were was a prevalent feeling that justice had not been done. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to cases of this kind being brought hi fore that holm', so as to make it a c,lurt of appeal against a conviction. The right hon. gentleman referred to the position of the late Mr. Ellis in Kerry, and the circumstances connectinvihis murder. Tee men who were executed were in Mr. Ellie's employ, and were well paid. Spillan, the informer, and Burke, were also in the deceased's employ. The Cermacks re sided rear where Mr. E lie was murdered, and it was proved by independent evidence that the Cormaclis were in the house, and formed a portion of a card-party there,near the time where Mr. Ellis passed inhis car. After referring to other details in connection with the murder, he said the case was fairly tried, and every justice was rendered them on this trial. They challenged nearly thirty jurymen, Burke's reason for not stating on the coroner's inquest who murdered his master, was, that he way terrified on seeing him before him—one of the Cur tnacks being actually on the jury. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HUGHES V. LADY DINORBEN. (Continued from our First Edition.) Mr. Nethercliffe also pointed out similar peculiarities in the genuine letters. Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—He had three times examined the anonymous letters or part of them. The first time was in 1552. Ooe of the letters sub inhted to him as genuine, be had since ascertained was not so. Seine of the peculiarities of her ladyship's writing were wantirg in it. Mr. Adlard gave similar testimony to the last wit- ness, relative to the handwriting of the anonymous letters being written by the same person who wrote the undisputed letters of Lady Dinorbeo. He generally found that a person attempting a disguise did not sus tain it to the end. Mr. Samuel Hamer, formerly inspector of "franks" in the General Post office, was of opinion the anonymous letters were all written by the same person. He be lieved the anonym - Ala letters were written by the same person who wrote the genuine letters. The writing was hold and clear for a lady. Her ladyship way disposed t) fliurish in her writing. There was a great peculiarity about the " w " which pervaded all the letters, both genuine and anonymou;. He was only doubtful about the election letter. David Browne was then cal!ed upon his E übrcons, but did not answer. This cl9sed the plaintiff's ease.. Mr. Macaulay then addre sed the jury on the pert of the defendant, who, he said, was most anxious to give an indignant, diree, and positive answer to this unjus t and grievous cal:rnny, under which she had known she had lah‘oured for twelve months, but which had existed behind her back for some four or five years. This action had been brought, not t.) vindicate the plaintiff's charac• ter, but in order to get rid of a calumny he had cast upon his aunt about twelve months a2o. The extuse for not bringing the acti , n e irly did not apply. The same evidence that had been given now might have been given in 1352, except the production of writing, other than that connected with the case. It was inconceii - able how Mr. Hughes could have been advised to bri - n2 this action, and cause so much pain to many persons whose names bad been drag&7ed into this case, because Sir Richard Bultelcy had blurted out his conscientious belief of what he h d suppressed upwards of five years, in which the plaintiff was implicated. The learned counsel said the Attorney-General hal been made the mouthpiece of as wilful, malicious, and groundless an imputation against Lady Dinorben as had ever been concocted. lie complained of the prejudices that had been introduced to show an animosity on the part of the defendant to the plaintiff ; but the facts were that the plaintiff hail never seen his uncle, Lord Dinorhon, till he was between 22 and 23 years of age. He was then at a ball in 'Wales, where Lady Dinerben was, and she sought him out and male his acquaintance. On the bllowing reason she took pains to find h m and sent for him into her opera box, when she introduced him to hie uncle; by him the plaintiff wAsi presented at Court; invited to Kinmel Park, but the acquaintance war not continued. Tin re was no foundation- for supposing that Lady Dinnri en wished to prevent his marriage for the rake of her daughter, and the Attorney-General, in introducing the care to their notice, ought not to have accompanied it with the imputation that L-,rd Dinorben was the only persol who could have ha.' any cause for preventing the plainiiff'e marriage with Miss Lid !Ell. The answer to this action was simply that the anonymous letters veers not written by Lady Dinorben. She world go into the box and swear they wire not, and he should call numerous and respectable persons who bad transacted business with her, and who knew her writing well, who would state tley did not believe the anonymous letters were in the handwriting of Lady Dinorben, That he thought would be convincing proof that the evidence of the ex perts could not he relied upon. The learned council refer red to the evidence of writing, and the difficulty there had been in proving the defendant wrote the letters, and in reference to the declaration called attention to the fact, that after an interview between the attornies on both sides ref n,ive to the identification of the letters, the plaintiff's attorney amended his declaration by adding after the words wrote that her Ladyship had procured them to be sent. Colonel Williams and Sir Richard Balkeley both doubted the authenticity a the libels, and he thought their evidence was more to be relied on than that of he experts. Lady Dinorhen's handwriting was of a ,ight and feathering character—peculiarly a f e mi n ine hand, wh,reas the anonymous letters, e-pecially the one ri ferring to "coals" and " beef " were of a stiff, bold, upright character, mnre like that of a male's writing than a female's. Sir R. Bulheley's evidence was the most important, except that of the post-office clerk, fni he afterwards disavowed a belief of one of them being in her band +vriting, and he (qr. Macaulay) should prove that that letter was net written by Lady Dinorben. After some further remarks from the learned counsel, The further hearing of the case wee adjourned till to morrow. 804 i 79 i 16 60 1 i 60 1011 i 90i it 3 i i 93 6 361 74 91i 904 A 90 451 A 70 70 # 34i 5 67f f JUNE 18, 1858, THE VICTORIA CROSS.

WHITEHALL, Jura 18. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Robert Baker, The petition presented by Lord Brougham last night wee one, we find, of considerable importance, and in volving a point of ecclesiastical law. It was the petition of J. Wright Wrl , on, E-q., ba,rri , ter-at-law, complain ing that he had been, as a candidate for the beroi;h near which he results, attacked fir electioneering purpotre, by proceedings in Chancery, in which various charges were made, au of which he had the means of re futing, but he had entered into articles of separation fro.n his w:fe, and there was a decree for sp-cific performarice folio wed by an injunction to restrain bins from suing for re-titution of conjugal rights, He appeakd to the Howe , of Lords, and when his c tinsel (ir F. Kelly and Lord Justice Turner) began to open the- e matters of his cast' Lord Cottentram raid he was with them, as there could be no such irijurction, therefore the coureel left the case in that respect untouched, and fifteen months after Lord Cotterrham gave his judr inept, in which, having forgotten what tonic place at the hearing, he decided against Mr. W. \T lion, and in favor ref the iejeriction, and al so rejecting the evidence which his Lordship had sail ought to be admitted. The grievance is almost equal to that in the Sheddon case, on which Lords Grey, Lyndhurst, and Brougham endeavoured to obtain jus tice for tl e party, but beirg outvoted, Sir F. Kelly has no . v brought in a bill to amend the law in that F ar- Ocular. And it was the object of Mr. W. W&on's peition, among other things, to obtain a correction of the law so erronecu,ly laid down by Lord Cuttenharn, without hearing the argument. The Lord Chancellor, we understand, hap issnel an order, declaring that, haying regard to tho o pres c e f nt ßa st u a k tc: of the business in the Liverpool Dist f ri e ct c dem or h , . of Cons ruptcy, the vacancy occasioned fi y the missioner Stevenson ought not, in Is opinion, to be filled up, and directing that it eball not be filled up until further order.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) .THE SLAVE TRADE AND THE SPANISH TREATY. - The Bishop of OXFORD said be rose, pursuant to the notice he Lad given, to present a petition to their lordships from the inhatutaets of tho parish r f St. Mary, in the island of Jamaica. It state I that in 1814 a treaty was entered into between Great Beitain and Spain for treatythe abolition an of subsequent the slave tehheiiart subjects, t cu l l t i . ;e:t ta t r an l :t. k a , d ie t e inhut. such spite ofthe : a ers i s prayed"ilicarried that o n t h b e y i r S l p c a r n d i7 as to them should seem meet to compel Spain to finfil the treaty. In presenting this petition ho would venture for a few moments to call the attention of their lord-hi to the great sit je s t t o w hi c h it referred. He was sorry to say that he need spend scarcely any of their lord hip s ' time in proving the alleg a ti ons o f thi- petition, that tae continuance of this traffic in slaves by Spain was a breach of her most solemn treaties with this country, a breach of those treaties aggravated by almost every con litton of aggravation with which ()Lie nation could violate the engagements it had entered into with aeo ther. As early as the year 1814 a general treaty was entered into between this country and Spain, in which Spain, without binding herself to any per 'molar line of conduct, united with th's country in condenu the trade in slaves. Shortly aft, r that at thegreat European congress, a I the great European powers agreed together in tke•face of the world to condemn this trade, and en tercl into mutual engagements one with another that I they would co-operate in putting it down. Ito 1817 a new and speclic treaty was entered into between this country and Spain, iu which Spain not only undertook distinctly that in the year 1820 the slave trade, SO far as her own subjects were concerned, should cease and de termine altogether, but further, Spain consented to re ceive from this country a sum of 400,0001., which was to be an iedemnrty for the lasses which her euhjentg aould incur by carrying out That treaty. But though that treaty was entered into in 1817, year after year passed try and nothing was done by Spain to carry out that treaty. In consequence, in 1835, a new and more explict treaty was entered into bet weer this country and Spain, in which Spain repeated her engagements, and she bound herself at once to bring in a sufficiently stringent penal law to mate it impossible for her subjects to continue the traffic. Bat still true to the policy which throughout bad characteri, , ed her conduct—a policy which curiously enough had been remarked for long past generations, and which caused Lord Bacon, in one of his pungent re marks, to say that Spaniards were always as a nation slow of despatch, so that their slowness bad passed into a proverb' " May my death come from Spain," by which men knew that if it came from Spain it would be hong in coming—true to their character, ten years pasted atter this treaty of 1835 before any such penal law was made, and then, when, owing to the remonstrances of this iuntry, a law was framed, the only point which could make it eff,ctual, declaring the slave trade piraov, W:11 left out. But in spite of repeated remonstrar cos from successive Gevernments of this country, in spite of the dishonour which such conduct brought upon her, Spa nish su`j -cts had been engaged in the slave trade from that time to this, except during two years that Valdez a-a s Captain-General of Cu' a. And he had a letter fre ni a person who was likely to be well informed on the ;oh- j -c - , which stated Viet the horrible traffic still o xisted, and that several ship-loads of Africans had lately been landed in Cube lie thought he need not spend any more of their lordship.? time in proving the first rind principril allegation of this petition, that the slave-trade still cant'nued to he carried on by Spain with nee x hausted and that it; was so carried on in spite of the most plain and repeated engagements with this coun try that it should absolutely' aerie. In thus violating her treaty enee:;emen's S l ims Lad net the poor ex-use Wbm!i many countries might urge ia such a matter, that her Gaeernment .:es Lot strong enough to catry them out. The proof lay in a nutshell. It lay in this o-itnple fact, that whin the C.iptain-General of Cuba had been desired to intei - Lre with the trade, be had been perfectly able to int-y.l,re with it, and•fer the time being to stop it. It appeared from the slavetra 'e papers waited el ere from :veer to year laud on their :ord:ships' table that when Vialoloa wao rppeinted Captain-General of Cuba he called together the persons in the islard knot; u to be engaged in the accursed traffic, and he told them he ha f come to the honest de t , rumination to stop it., but that he would give six inehths, is a hick he would tale no ni-tine, in order that those who had ventures might v. ind up their affair-, but that at the expiration of that ti no be was determined to put the law in force. What ev , •t' to result? They found that in 1840 as many as 50 ships wire deTatehed from Cu! a to the coast rf Africa, but that in 1842, when the Captain-General en , leaveured to enforce the treaty, only three ships were d eqmatchi d from Cuba te the c ,a-t of Africa ; and that while itt the year IS4O 14,470 Africans were imported bite Cutea in 1812 oily 5,100 were imperted. And this ' was not all. Whet.: the same Captain-General was in C;ohn, he took meant] for ace rtaining what the genertl f sling of the Cubans was with regard to the superrntsion of the traffic and he reported that :ill Cubans who-e 3 opinions wore asked unheeitatinaly condemned it, and that the feeling of tne people aa a body were favourable to the termination of it. And there were reatons why they suaulti. The trade was conducted for the bine-fit cif certain speculatori, who introduced Africans for the purpose f breaking up new land, and bringing it in cam petition with the old estatos in the isatid, and then fore those who were now lieirg in opulence on the produce t,f the in estates were c'e irons for their own sakes that the accursed tr•flic should be stopped. But how was the expression of opinion received in that country ? It was regarded aso a criminal offence, and visited with the ,everest penalties ; end there were instances in which persons Fad been iropriee ned and Laui4ed from th e ieland merely beceus, they had expressed with freedom their opieioe of this treffice. It canoe, therefore, to this, the Spanish Government, instead of being overborne by popular violence, iteel eut dean the a% lult,sni no feel it,e of the islaud, in order , hat it might retain this trade„ Why was it that the Gascininent f Spain was anxious to retain this trade ? Ile se:ls afr.oid he must say it al the bpsest of :1,1 mativen—it was the personal advan tage of Perviog great roil, who received their reward for this :recur ed trait'. lie believed there was no doubt that a person standing very high indeed in Spain —close upon the throne ef Say.in—had received largely these wages of iniquity fr,r the contieuance of thin itc• cursed trade. Teey knew those who were eent as cap ta'ros-general to Cube were sent for the moat part for this one purpose, that they might replenish their exhausted f-o tunes by the fees which they received on the importa tion e f A fricane e L appeerel by the papers on their lerdships? table that tl.eie had been centaina-gener.,l of Cuba alto, within a short time of taking poseession , f their office had been able to retire aith as much as 100,000/ , I ought by the blood of these tinborn they ban, in spite of the treaty, suffered to be ieipottecl into Cahn. g, It was known that one captair.-general riceired .ritfee:o three doubluons a-l.ead for every slitve who was o duced into the country. But this eat not all, there was ineborne to tie Go• another feature f this case—a trio g wilful falsification of the returns of the eystennit'c and vcrnrnent the criminality of this th in g , and tat -nail thecunt' were able to trace naleifioations of the '•er of slave, in the island. From the slave trade g p i pe rs r , a , e , a conyYceivable amount, repeat d year after year, in or d e r to evade the treaty. For instance, in or l e year the whole cumber of slaves was put deten at 300,000, while they had the clearest evidence that they knew the num ber was 900,000. And there was another matter, the treatment by the Government of that class of Africans, which bore, in consequence of the treaty, the title of etnancipados, ty;•cauFe it teas agreel that the slaves who wele in roduced alter a certain day, should, after an ap prenticeehip try five years, te set free. The way in which the Government had w t rked this had been by continu ally substituting the slaves who had died for -rho • e who would have become ea , ancipat d, thus again evad ing the conditions of the treaty. ,"13.-e thought he bad now brought the case to this point, and -this violation cif treaties was not the consequence of a weak Government overbotne by a popular movement, but . was the direct act of the Government itself ; and it was th• act of the Government, not from any desire to derelope the resources of the country, but in order that o,rtain persons might have reserved to thert•theutneans of min ing wealth through the miseries of the African people. , Ile would now turn to another side of the cubj , ct. 11 AS this a state of things which Great-Britain, in to ti c ie n, f i c t e n o e f t the world, could lionerely at d lawfully He considered that. we were boeld icc ti: O a f these Arca km allo e w that this curl was slopped, and that the bc co .m nd d to this enures, first of were enforced.

There was here an inconsistency which went far to damag-e our fair name, and led other countries to suppose that we had some other secret motive for maintaining the squadron on the coast of Africa, because they said if our real object was to stnp the slave trade why did we suffer a state like Spain to laugh in our face and violate treaties I There was another reason, a great moral consideration. No na tion had a right to undertake •the championship of the afflicted and then shrink from the labour and the danger. We had no right to put ourselves forward to the world as the suppressors of the slave trade unless we were pared and firmly to enforce those t rea ti es f or its suppression which our allies had made with us. There was another view of the subject to which it was impox sible not to allude. Remember for a single moment the position if the island of Cuba with regard to a great neighbouring country, the United States, and see how inevitable it was that the condition of things which we had to long suffered to exist must add to the danger of hostile feeling and acts which might end most unhappily- Remember that the people of that country are the inhe ritors of cur blood, that they have our own blood for the sea, our own jealousy for the national honour and the na tional flag ; remember that carrying on, if operations which we were told we were t woh the ships not with the ships of that nation, at leas without exciting we could not carry on the cf the right of sailing under the flag of that naticsnts,te jealousy—remember the unsettledh afeeling ca using too far the right we of a sing'.o commander in o:r'Y snip was or was not entitled search, and Bee how with such the intemperance claimed of seeing whetherfl to carry flag —see how this state of things He said a common • might involve between this country and the United ruin, because a war d be fatal to the advancement of the human States would theAaallelriinc7common ruin. ra ce, to the advancement of anything like rational 1 • 'VE liberty, to the advancement cf anything like attoo and day int uth 'red are iter- ,has. and St. St. St. St. 11 1 1 St. ' St. 100 'lOO all all all all all 100 ,100 100 100 all all all all all !100 1100 2s6d 100 100 100 all all 100 100 100 100 49 9 891 i 45 i 211 i 41 171- 10 201 i
