CAUTION TO CYDER MAKERS.—An inquest was re cently 'held by T. Fooks, Esq., coroner for the liberty of Sherborne, Dorset, on a labourer, who died from the effects of drinking cyder which had been boiled in a brass or copper furnace. It appeared by the" evidence of the person who made the cyder, that a quantity of hops, loaf and moist sugar, ginger, and liquorice, was put into the liquor to fine it, and that to prevent the 'recipe being -discovered by a person who assisted, a small portion of• brick-dust was added. The mixture 'was then boiled in the furnace. Mr. E. Turner, surgeon, gave it as his opinion that the ingredients named were harmless, but the boiling in a brass furnace would pro duce the acetate of copper, and ulceration of the bowels, such as he had found on' a post mortem examination. The jury found, that death had been occasioned by drinking cyder boiled in a brass furnace for the purpose of Truing. RA tIWA Y C 0 31 3 7 11 7 .1 7 TE ES. (YESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. aNCREF.TER AND SOUTHAMPTON. ' The Committee to whom this Bill had been referred, con sisting of Lout Monteagle (chairman), Lord Foley, Lord Churchill, and L or d S ondes, met this morning, at 11 o ' clock, in Room A. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, with whom were Mr. Gurney, Mr. James, M r . Wh eeler, and Mr. Cripps, appeared for the promoters of the Bill ; Mr. Talbot, Mr. Rickards, and Sir Thomas Phillips for the Great Western, and South Western, and the landowners. Mr. Sergeant WItAIiGIIAM proceeded to open the case on the part of the promoters. He said the line would be S 8 miles in length, and that it would cost, in round numbers, 1,000,0001., and was intended to afford direct railway com munication from Manchester, in the north, to Southampton, in the south. He could start from Southampton at a point on the quay which offered great facilities for loading and unloading, acs would take nearly a direct course north, passing through Andover, Marlborough, Swindon, Cirencester, and even to Cheltenham, where, at a place called Swindon, it would f orm a junction with the Gloucester and Birmingham, and pass on to the north of the existing lines. The cost per mile would be between 17,0001. and 18,0001., and they had no engineering difficulties to contend with except at the Cotteswold Hills, which would have to be tunnelled ; but the difficulties at this point were only of the ordinary character. The whole district south of Swindon, which was traversed by the line, was, at the present moment, lamentably deficient of railway communication, and, in fact, a great portion of the counties of Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Dorsetshire, must also be considered as being shut out from that railway communication which other districts now pos sessed. Persons in the north, who carried on an extensive trade with every portion of the empire, had had their opera tions crippled, atsi their means of extending their corn ,. mercial-transactibils cut away from them, owing to the want of direct railway communication with this district. It was true a portion of the district had water communication afforded to it by the Andover canal, from Andover to the sea, which had lingered foryears, and "lingeringly lived," affording no great accommodation to the district, and certainly with no great profit to those who had embarked their pro perty in the undertaking. They intended to use this canal by an agreement with its proprietors for the purpose of this railway, which would obviate the necessity of interfering with residential or other property along the line, and also save the protnoters considerable expense. The line would reduce the price of coals to the whole district traversed, and convey to the north for manufacture clay from Poole, and sand from the Isle of Wight to be transmuted into glass, in addition to large quantities of goods for exportation. By the existing railway communication the distance from Chel tenham to Swindon was forty-four miles, which the Manchester and Southampton would reduce to twenty-nine miles, effecting a saving of fifteen miles. The distance was not the only objection, for even if the recommendation of Parliament was carried out, there would still be a break of gauge at Cheltenham. To show the necessity of such a rail way, he might state that the Great Western had in the pre sent session proposed a line from Oxford to Cheltenham which had been unsuccessful. But they had not abandoned their intention of ultimately obtaining the sanction of Par liament to the line. So great was the objection to that route that many persons preferred using coaches and their own private vehicles in order to get to Swindon and Ciren cester. A great portion of the district was agricultural, in which there were a number of sheep fairs; but the case of the Peterborough line, which ran through an agricultural district, and yielded an ample revenue, set the question at rest, that agricultural districts could sup port railways. Great quantities of cattle and sheep were sent to the north, which would go by the line if it were made. They were now driven as far as Gloucester, and there placed on the railway. Salt would be brought from Droitwich for agricultural purposes. The only means of obtaining goods by railway from the north was by the London and Birming ham, then by cart to Nine Elms, and by the South-Western on to Southampton, involving a circuit of ninety miles. The Great Western had obtained permission to make a line from Oxford to Rugby, but that route would be 19 miles longer than the Manchester and Southampton, besides a break of gauge at Rugby ; but if an intermediate gauge was laid down then there would be a break of gauge either at Oxford or Basingstoke. Another line, from Birmingham to the north of Banbury, passed this session, reduced the distance from 19 to 14 miles. After referring to the local distribution of the shares of the company, to the importance of Southamp ton as.the southern outlet to southern Europe, and, in fact, to the whole world, to the expression of feeling in favour of the line by the inhabitants of the towns it was to traverse (a petition from Manchester in favour of it having been signed by persons representing one-fourth of the entire as sessment of the town) he concluded by calling on the Com mittee to pass tke preamble of the Bill. He then objected to the appearance of the Great Western on the ground that the line only passed under that line; that t hey only in terfered with a small strip of land, and not with the works or property of the Great Western. They held a statutory title to the land, but then they had obtained it for the purpose of a railway, and that gave them no authority to come there in the guize of landowners to delay the investigation, and to put them to unnecessary expense. Mr. TAiuoTreplied, and held that the Great Western had an undoubted right to appear in opposition. rognwftiCTeiled: On the re-admission of parties, -- .3 1— —..1.. .... A at - The CHAIRMAN said, the CoMmittee had considered the point raised, and had come unanimously to the opinion that the Great Western Company sbould be heard on the point, but only so far as their interests might be affected by the crossing of the proposed line below the Great Western at Swindon, and with respect to any damage likely to result from such crossing. The Chairman added, that this would not touch upon the right of other landowners to appear there against the project. Witnesses were then called. Mr. W. C. Somers, an - extensive ironmonger at Mil'brook, immediately adjacent to Southampton, detailed the advan tages which the line would confer on him individually, in extending his trade and preventing delay in thetrausmission of the goods he used and sold. Mr. Edwards, collector of the port of Southampton, was examined at great length and cross-examined. His evidence generally went to show that the salvation of Southampton depended on the construction of the line, that it would be 14% miles shorter than any authorised route, would obviate the necessary breaks of gauge in other lines, and would, in short, create a considerable traffic. Goods landed at South ampton might be warehoused in Manchester within 24 hours. The imports would be materially increased from all parts of the world. The existing route to the north, as compared with the Manchester and Southampton was, as 282 to 212, thus effecting a saving of 70 miles. The CHAIRMAN said, he imagined it would not be con tended on the other side that this line would not increase the traffic. What they contended was, that the advantages it proposed to afford could be obtained by other lines running north and south. There could be no question that a direct communication with the north would be advantageous. Mr. TALBOT had no hesitation in admitting that a direct line to Manchester was required ; but then the question arose whether there was traffic enough to justify the construction of a new line eighty-eight miles in length. Mr. JAMES said if that was the ground of his Learned Friend's opposition, the promoters would be compelled to enter into detail as to the traffic. The witness having given further evidence in favour of the line, Mr. Sturge, corn merchant of Gloucester, Mr. George, general merchant, Romsey, and Mr. S. Payne, dealer In earthenware and glass at Southampton, all gave evidence in favour of the line. The last witness said he had some goods forwarded from Staffordshire on the 27th of October, which reached Bristol on the 21st of November, but they did not reach Southampton until the 27th of November following. He paid 7001. per annum now for carriage, half of which he considered be should save by the proposed line.—=Adjourned till to-morrow. E'ILBROW'S ATMOSPHERIC RAIL- WAY AND CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY. An adjourned general meeting of the proprietors in this Company took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a report of a committee, appointed at a former meeting; J. Jones, Esq., in the chair. The state of the affairs of this Company is most unsatisfactory. It appeared from a report, which they refuse to publish at the present time, that the officials of the Company have been guilty of frauds in issuing an immense number of shares without having been so authorised to do by the airectors. A Mr. Collins, a former secretary of the Company, is charged with haVing sold between eight and nine thousand shares for his own immediate benefit, he never having placed the sum received in lieu of the shares to the credit of the Company. It appeared also that a cheque for 5001. was given to a Captain Britten for "rigging " the market. The directors paid themselves ten guineas a day for their attendance, which money they have since returned. The directors allege that the frauds have arisen in consequence of their misplaced confidence In their officials. Shares have been issued without the names of the holders being filled up ; and it is asserted that they were offered for sale at any price the pur chaser might fix upon at Mr. Lamond's, the sharebroker. The Earl of Besborough and the Earl of Essex being among the directors, have offered 1,0001. each to assist the share holders. The report was adopted, and the meeti ng a dj o urned to that day three weeks for the purpose of a communication being opened between the directors and the shareholders, with the view to a final and amicable adjustment of the affairs of the Company. It appears that the Company was not reg i s t ere d, as i t should have been under the Joint-stock A ct ; an d t h at even by all the shares recognised the directors we re i ssue d an d paid upon before the registration took place. The affairs of the Compan y present one mass of inextri ca bl e confusion. SHARE RAILWAYMARKETS. MANCHESTER, AUGIUST 15.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The purchases of stock in the early part of the account, made under strong apprehensions of Continued advancing prices, were very considerable, and most of that having been thrown on the market for re-sale, prices receded for the account. This has been observable in all the markets. In Leeds the settlement is pass ing over satisfactorily, an d Prices are improving again with a pro bability of steadiness, and A more healthy trade. Our London cor respondent writes, that " when the stock whi c h h as b een bought on speculation has been cleared Off, we may e x p ec t some further im provement ;" and the sam e feeling exists in Liverpool and Manches ter, though not quite so strongly in the former as in the latter place. The over-speculation having so speedily proved its own corrective , ought to prevent speculat ors dealing too largely, and no doubt for a time will have that effect. London aftd Birminghams are recovering from the effect of their chairman's speech, and the Great Western meeting having passed off very satisfactorily, those shares have ad vanced. Eastern Counties are steady, Lancaster anl Carlisles lower, as also are Brightens, Dave rs, Manchester and Leeds, and Midlands, In Midlands the fall has been excessive within the last few weeks, they having declined since the meeting, to the extent of about fifteen pounds per share ; sur ely they have seen their worst for the pre sen t.

A public meeting was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of devising the best means to alleviate the distress, and preserve from utter ruin the fla rists and nurserymen who have suffered so severely from the violence of the late storm. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE took the chair, and said that he appeared before the meeting in consequence of an application that had been made to him from some gentlemen eonuected with the Horticultural So ciety to assist in relieving the gardeners and nurserymen of the metropolis and the suburbs who have been so severely visited by the late storms. He believed that all the gentlemen whom he had then the honour to address felt the same sympathy with himself for those unfortunate individUals who were now experiencing the greatest calamity, which was induced, not from any negli gence on their own parts, but a visitation of Providence, over which, of course, they could exercise no control.--(Hear.) He believed there was ro more deserving or hard working class in the community than those whom they had assembled to assist. He could bear testimony to what he asserted from personal observation in his own neighbourhood. Those resident in the neighbourhood of Stockwell, Clapham, and Brixton, were the chief suf ferers, and it appeared from the report of the South London Horticultural Society that the losses sustained by those engaged in horticultural trade there amounted to no less a sum than 18,0001. He had the satisfaction to state that the room in which they were then assembled had been given them gratis for the present occasion, and an offer had been made by the proprietory of the Hall of Commerce of the use of their establishment, either for a floricultural show or for any other purpose calculated to promote the object of the present meeting.—(Hear, hear ) A subscription had also been commenced, and Dr. Leyden, who was unable to attend, had forwarded 101. 10s. Mr. Barclay, of Lombard-street, had also sent them 51.55., and he only hoped that they might have the satisfaction of being able, in a considerable degree, to ameliorate the distresses of those poor persons.—(Hear, bear, and cheering.) Mr. J. ALLNUT stated that 3,000 squares of glass had been broken in his conservatory, and proposed the following reso lution :—" That the severe losses which the nurserymen, florists, and gardeners in the neighbourhood of the metropolis have sustained, in consequence of the dreadful hail-storm en the Ist day of August instant, call for our warmest sympathy, and demand all our efforts to alleviate the distress occasioned thereby." Mr. IIiFF said be would not detain the meeting, but second the resolution, in which he fully concurred. The resolution was then put from the chair and carried unanimously. _ _ _ Mr. Comi, of the firm of Trueman and Cook, proposed the next resolution—" That a public subscription be now corn menced, and a fund raised for the relief of the sufferers." Mr. SELDOM seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. JA3iEs COOK, of Mincing-lane, was appointed trea surer, and Messrs. Barclay and Company, Coutts and Com pany, Cocks and: Biddulph, Jones, Loyd, and Company, and Young and Son, to receive subscriptions. Several subscriptions were then announced, among which were twenty guineas from the Duke of Cambridge ; ten guineas from the Lord Mayor; Barclay and Co., five guineas. A committee was then appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. AMERICAN TARIFFS OF 1842 AND 1846 COMPARED.

PORT,MOVTII, SUNDAY.—A striking instance of the indis position of officers to serve on the coast of Africa has been ' manifested in the state in which the Contest, new twelve gun brig, Commander M•Murdo, has been compelled to put to sea. This vessel, when commissioned, was expected to have been destined for service on a healthy station. The applications for appointments to her were most nu merous. We are told that as many as four hundred lieutenants applied for appointments to her. It is well known she was manned in a few hours. Well, the usual number of officers were appointed to her: among them three lieutenants, the complement for vessels carrying commanders. All these officers left the Contest. Why ? She was ordered to the coast of Africa; and the vessel, after shipping her mails and Admiralty dispatches, was detained at Spithead for more than a week, because she could get no lieutenants to join her. She has at last B%,ne to sea with only one officer of that class, Lieutenant W. H. Hood.(1846), and he has been for years past engaged in the coast-guard service. The same state of things is exhibited in the Columbine, 16, Commander Booth, which arrived here on Thursday from Chatham. This vessel came round from the eastward with only one lieutenant, and he debilitated from service on the _ coast of Africa (Lieutenant Daniel Dawes). The ship was also without any master, mate, or midshipman, and in this disgracefully inefficient state has worked round during very severe weather. The Columbine will be ordered to sea in a few days. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting, the Hon. Miss Napier, Maid of Honour, Lord Alfred Paget, and Ba ron St oc k mar, w il l pro ceed on Tuesday (weather permitting), in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, to Devonport, where the royal party will remain two days, inspecting the various objects of interest at that port, sleeping, &c., on board the yacht. From Devonport her Majesty will proceed to Falmouth, thence to the Scilly Islands, and cruise about; the entire excursion occupying about a week or ten days. The Fairy and the Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht (which arrived a t C owes f rom Woolwich last night), will accompany the Victoria and Albert. It is pre mised that one or two members of the Board of Admiralty will go in the Blach Eagle. The Royal Family will remain at Osborne. The Aurora, Sardinian corvette, Captain Spinola, sailed yesterday for the downs. The Mariner transport, Lieutenant Still agent, sailed yes terday with military invalids and returned stores for Chatham and Deptford. The Sylvia cutter, tender to the Seafiower, arrived yester day from Jesey to refit. The Tagus, with the India mails, arrived this morning at the Motherbank. The Queen, Peninsula steamer, arrived at Southampton, about the same time. Some remarkable results have been produced by the shot practice from the Excellent on the Ruby iron steamer, ordered by the Admiralty to be experimented upon, in order to test what resistance the iron hull of a ship would offer to a shot; and it is expected that the Admiralty will, in consequence, stop the building of iron steamers, and other vessels for the present. The shots which struck the Ruby not only pene trated the side first struck, but in several instances passed through the other side, carrjing with it whole plates of iron. In action this would risk the total loss of the vessel, for on heeling over to leeward, such a body of water must rush in that she would inevitably sink with all on hoard. A repre sentation of this important result has been made to the Ad miralty, and should further experiments prove that serious risk will be occasioned to iron vessels of war when exposed to the chance of being struck with heavy shot, it is doubtful if the Board will not abolish them as men-of-war. The committee of management for erecting a tablet to the memory of the late Commander Estcourt, of the Eclair steam-sloop, having more than sufficient funds in their hands for the completion of their patriotic object, have most consi derately presented the surplus (151. 4s. ld.) to the building fund of the Seamen and Marines Orphan Schools, Portsea.

The gallant non-commissioned most liberally invited all their brother officers of the 74th and 8d Regiments, quar tered here, as also some of the chief tradesmen of Ports mouth, Portsea, and Gosport. About 300 guests were pre sent; and the arrangements of the ball and supper, which were completed by Sergeant-Major Browne and Quarter master Sergeant llawenham, well deserve mention. The rooms were most handsomely decorated, presenting a coup d'ceil at once imposing and characteristic. The 74th Highlanders are ordered to embark at this port for Scotland. They will leave the latter end of this, or the early part of next week. The 3d Regiment (Buffs) will be removed from Gosport to Portsmouth, on the 74th leaving. This celebrated regiment will be presented with new colours in about a month hence, their present time-honoured ensigns being literally bare poles. The 2d Regiment (Queen's) Hill leave Winchester for the quarters of the 3d at Gosport, on their being vacated by that regiment, and the 40th Regiment succeed to Winchester. Sergeant Rombillow, of the Buffs at Gosport, who was tried by court-martial a few weeks since for embezzling moneys belonging to the captain of this company, has been sentenced to be imprisoned for the term of two years, one half of which period is to be spent with hard labour, the other half in solitary confinement; and at the expiration of this sentence he will (if he survives it) be returned to his regiment, and placed under " stoppage.% until the sum em bezzled is repaid. ROYAL ARTILLERY. (GENERAL ORDER.) WOOLWICM, Atra. 13.—His Lordship the Master-General directs the accompanying letter from the Horse Guards, con veying her Majesty's pleasure upon the proceedings of a General Court-martial, held for the trial of gunner and driver Richard Gilbertson, to be promulgated to the Royal Artillery, and read at three parades. (Signed) H. D. ROSS, Der uty Adjutant-General. Horse Guards, Aug. 10. Sir,—Field Marshal the Commander. in -Chief, having had the honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the pro ceedings of the General Court-martial, holden at Government House, Devonprt, on the 23d and 25th of July, 1846, for the trial of gunner and driver Richard Gilbertson, No. 1,325, of the 9th battalion of Royal Artillery, who was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.:- 1. For being absent from his barrack in Plymouth citadel at a quarter before eleven o'clock on the 9th of July, 1846, when the check roll call was called, and not returning until seen in his barrack-room about a quarter past eleven o'clock the same night and then drunk. 2. For having on the night of the 9th of July, 1846, at half-past eleven o'clock, in his barrack-room, Plymouth citadel, threatened, or avowed an intention, that he would superior cabe shoot Company Sergeant Archibald Reid, his his officer, the prisoner having his carbine loaded with _ car bine powder from hi m and was wrested . powder and ball, percussion cap on . the nipple, and the car bine in the position of ready, and he secured as a prisoner—such conduct being insubordi nate and outrageous and subversive of good order and mili tary discipline. 3. For violently assaulting the guard when taking him to the guard-room in Plymouth citadel on the night of the 9th of July, 1846, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock. 4. For damaging one round of ball cartridge entrusted to his charge, value fourpence. Upon which charges the Court came to the following de cision:— The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, is of opinion, with regard to the first charge, that the prisoner, gunner and driver Richard Gilbertson, No. 1,32.5 of the 9th battalion Royal Artillery, is guilty, and that he is also guilty of the second, third, and fourth charges. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of all the charges preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, and taking into consideration his former convictions and general bad character, do now sen tence him, the prisoner, gunner, and driver Richard Gilbert son, No. 1,325, of the 9th battalion Royal Artillery, totun dergo an imprisonment of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days—eighty-four of which are to be solitary, divided into six periods of fourteen days each, and the remainder with hard labour, and furthermore that he be placed under stop pages, not exceeding two-thirds of his daily pay to the amount of 4d., the value of one round of carbine ball ammunition. The Court consider it their duty to remark on the good conduct of Sergeant M'Lain and gunner and driver Colley, Royal Artillery. 1 have his Grace's directions to acquaint you that her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court, but under all the circumstances to remit so much of the sentence as inflicts solitary confinement.

Because, after the Legislature had nearly half a cen tury, and the country above half a century ago, condemned the African slave-trade as the worst of human crimes, com • prising almost all others, and as the greatest practical evil that ever afflicted the world, we cover ourselves with a dis grace never to be effaced by adopting a measure whose avowed object is immediately and largely to increase the mass of sugar grown in the slave-trading countries, and which can only be grown by an immediate and large im portation of Africans. Consequently, the avowed object of the measure is the encouragement of the African slave trade, as much as murder, and not robbery alone, is the avowed object of the felon who destroys his neighbour in order that he may possess his property, by removing him out of his way. 2. Because it is in vain to disguise from ourselves and cover over the guilt of slave trading thus iucurred, by pretending that we do not directly offer any premium for its encouragement. We as directly partake of that enormous crime by knowingly and wilfully augmenting the amount of the traffic which lays waste the villages of Africa, and de solates her coasts, as those do whom we brand with the name of felons, and visit with the pains of felony, for only letting to hire the ships employed in the traffic, although they have no more direct participation in the African voyage. 3. Because nothing can be more futile than the defence of our conduct drawn from a reference to the importation which is allowed of cotton and other articles, the growth of slave dealing countries. If that importation be an encouragement of slave trading, it was criminal to permit it, and the fact of our having once been guilty is no excuse for extending and multiplying our offences. But the great bulk of such com merce is notoriously carried on with countries in which slave tradindhas long ceased to be practised. Moreover, the chief branch of the importation, that of cotton, was established nearly a quarter of a century before we our selves abolished the slave trade ; and there is the greatest possible difference between refusing to give up a trade or a practice of any kind already adopted, and entering for the first time into a novel career of crimes not yet begun to be perpetrated. 4. Because the question now under the consideration of Parliament differs from every other part of the discus sion so long carried on respecting the slave trade and slavery. In all former cases our offence was that we delayed to abolish a criminal system already, and for ages, established ; we only refused to do that which was clearly right. But now we are doing that which is clearly wrong; and are for the first time beginning, rot continuing, a slave trade. We are actively creating a slave trade which does not now exist, and not passively suffering an existing traffic to go on. 5. Because it is vain to expect that other nations will shut their eyes to the garb of hypocrisy in which this conduct of ours clothes all our professions of zeal for the abolition. When we urge them to join in putting down the execrable traffic, they will point to our act encouraging it; and, re quired by us to abandon the gains which they derive from conniving at the traffic, they will marvel at our boldness in expecting such sacrifices from them when we all the while are encouraging it ourselves for the avowed purposes of cheapening a luxury that we relish, and adding a small sum to the mass of our revenue. 6. Because it is altogether preposterous to cite in such a 1 debate the principles of political philosophy, and to call this a sacrifice to the doctrine of free trade. The highest autho rities have long ago proclaimed that in this measure there are involved no considerations of commercial or financial policy ; but, as one of the late Ministers said, " the honour of this country," as another asserted, " the credit and repu tation of this country," and as all impartial men who con sidered the subject have said, the creating or the prevent ing an amount of suffering among peaceful and unoffending nations, so frightful to contemplate, that no calculator of profit and loss can be hard-hearted enough to weigh against it the largest amount of gain, whether commercial or finan cial, which could be conceived to result from our legis lation. 7. Because, finally, the hurrying through Parliament at the very close of a long and laborious session, and in the absence of nearly all its members, a measure of so desperate a character, and which is connected with other measures seriously affecting our whole colonial policy, as well as the trading interests of the mother country, betokens on the part of its authors an impatience of delay and of full dis cussion, only to be explained by the supposition that the ex traordinary state of parties at the present moment offers them the only chance of carrying their measures which would assuredly have been rejected, as they were five years ago, as soon as those parties had resumed their wonted po sition. BROUGHAM. Dissentient, — Because, beside all the other reasons of justice ' humanity and sound policy, which prohibit a measure so directly, so inevitably tending to the encouragement of the slave trade it is wholly intolerable, as it is altogether unprecedented, to hurry through Parliament, at the very close of the session, and after almost all its members have left town, such im portant measures, without the possibility of full discussion, and without giving the mother country, or the colonies, any notice of them—measures which at one blow alter the whole commercial system of the country, and affect in the most serious manner, and to the greatest extent, the manufac turing and trading community of the empire.
