A special general meeting of the proprietors of these lines was held this afternoon at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of con sidering a proposal for amalgamating with the Nor fold and Newmarket and Chesterford Companies, and for other special purposes. Mr. George Hudson, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the financial ques tion, said the meeting had been called to consider and remind the proprietors that since he had become con nected with th e concern, t h e annual receipts had risen from between 300,0001. and 400,0001. to 700,0001., and he assured the shareholders there was every prospect of the traffic still going on increasing. He announced that it was not the intention of the company to enter into any fresh liabilities, •or engage in any new works. He then moved the resolution to authorise the raising of the sum of 675,9201. upon a minimum guaranteed interest, in perpetuity, of six per cent. per annum, which sum f will be divided rateably amongst the shareholderso the Eastern Counties and Northern an d East l ern of Rail way Companies, in the proportion of one 101. share caital guaranteed stock for each 1001. of . the paid - up of either of the said two companies, according h to the arrangements now existing . between t er d n. in resolution, he stated, was Parliament. strictly legal egalan con formity with their existing Acts of the proposal, exception was taken to the . legality of proposal, but Mr. Duncan explained that was s t r i c tly legal. aid ultimately the resolution was put to the meeting and carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved the resolution autho rising the directors to complete the amalgamation with the Norfolk and Newmarket and Chesterford Companies, and, in doing so, he stated that the ar rangement would not only increase the traffic of the concern, but it would have the effect of reducing the expenditure of the joint companies by nearly 20,0001. per annum. After some discussion the resolution was agreed to. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and directors, and the meeting, which was an exceed ingly crowded one, terminated after a sitting of up wards of two hours. NORFOLK RAILWAY. (11-11 S DAY.) _ _ A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company took place to-day, at the Company's Offices, Guildhall-buildings, for the purpose of consi dering an agreement proposed to be made with the Eastern Counties Railway Company for an amalga mation of the two companies upon certain terms and conditions ; and, in case such agreement should receive the sanction of the meeting, to authorise the directors to take all such steps as might be necessary for carrying the same into full effect, by application to Parliament or otherwise, and to empower them to lease the rates and tolls of the railway under the pro visions of the several Acts now in force. Mr. Peto, M.P., took the chair at twelve o'clock, in the absence of Mr. A. Duff, the chairman of the company, who was prevented from attending in con sequence of a domestic bereavement. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling the meeting, proceeded to read the following special report : " The circular addressed to each of the proprietors will have apprised them that this meeting is called to consider the expediency of entering into an agreement with the Eastern Counties Company for an amalgama• tion of the two companies. " It was stated in the directors' last report, that the great difficulty which this company has had to struggle with was the heavy amount of the working expenses of the line as compared with the gross receipts. " When the Norfolk Railway was projected the rail- way system was nearly in its infancy; but the expe rience of the last few years has abundantly proved, that where two separate lines exist, running into each other, the one connected with the metropolis, and the other with various seaports, the resources of the latter line cannot be so fully developed, nor the working expenses so economically managed, as when the two lines are placed under the charge and conduct of the company possessing the metropolitan terminus. " Taking these circumstances into their consideration, together with the strong opinion expressed upon the subject at the last general meeting, your directors felt that the time had arrived, when it was most desirable to effect a permanent union with the Eastern Counties Company, whose lines are so intimately connected with those of this company. " They accordingly opened a negotiation with their directors, which was met by them in the most frank and cordial spirit ; and, after some discussion, the following terms have been agreed upon, subject to the approval of this eceeting : " That as soon as practicable after this meeting, the lines of the Nortolk Railway shall be placed in the hands of the Eastern Counties Company, and worked by them in conjunction with their own line, under the direction of a joint committee; a lease being granted by this company, under the powers of their present Act, of their rates and tolls to three or more of the directors of the Eastern Counties Company, as the legal means of carry ing out the arrangement until the sanction of Parliament can be obtained to the permanent amalgamation of the companies. " that from the period of their taking possession of the Norfolk lines, the Eastern Counties Company shall take upon themselves the payment of the interest on bor rowed capital and guaranteed shares of the Norfolk and Lowestoft Companies, and shall pay to the shareholders a dividend after the same rate as shall from time to time be declared on the capital stock of the Eastern Counties Company. "That the debts and liabilities of the Norfolk and Lowestoft Companies shall be liquidated under th, directionc,o_unties cofotaahpeajaoyit,iwt i c l o o ta a m re it t t , e , e b , a a v i e d a ed l i b e n y c the n r g E e a s u t p e n r r i i i ail the property of the Norfolk Company for any sums which they may advance for this purpose. earliest pom r a h a : t a 4 t P P a practicabl e i ra i e l t g l a ° ta p n period, shall i, be made to Parliament at the foofr thean Act to authorise the provision shall be made for giving companies, privi, privileges the Norfolk in which share holders the same rights and which are enjoyed by the Eastern Counties shareholders. "That in the meantime, until such can be ob tained, the Norfolk Company shall do t‘ work the be necessary for giving legal effect to and permit the Eastern Counties Compan line in their name, the establishments of panics being blended together as far as possiblev° Coin .' That all disputes and difierence2 shall be left to arbitration." The CHAIRMAN having shortly stated the object of the meeting, which is fully developed in the report, observed that the bargain proposed to be made Was one calculated to benefit both companies, and he felt no doubt that it would receive l s l a contractthe i s_. Of this he w the cordial assent of oft'inleas worth nothing.

At the assembling of the delegates this afternoon, Mr. KYDD explained the result of his mission to Ire land in company with Mr. Leach. He said on their arrival in Dublin they waited upon Mr. Patrick O'Hig gins, who had identified himself with the Chartists of England, and was the most likely person to aid them in accomplishing the object of their mission. Through his instrumentality they had an interview with the council of the Irish Confederation, who were as anxious to see them as they were to see the council. Mr. Doheny, Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., Captain O'Bren, Mr. John Mitchell (United Irishman), Mr. Gavan Duffy, and all the old members of the council, were pre sent, and the first question put to them was—" What terms of union do you propose with the Irish people?" They answered that they had no distinct line of policy to propose,but that they came there with the view of instruct ing the Irish people in the principles of the Charter, and stated that the English Chartists had a feeling of sympathy in common with the Irish people, and wished them God speed in the political movement in which they were engaged. Several of the members expressed themselves in favour of the Charter; and Mr. Smith O'Brien said he would support some of the points; and, judging from the sympathy which they experienced, they had good rea son to hope that the majority of the leaders of the Irish people would soon be as democratic in their views as the Chartists. A public meeting was held in the Prince's Theatre on Easter Monday, and although the press in London called it a failure, nearly 1,000 persons paid for admission to the gallery, and a resolution in favour of the Charter was passed without a single dissentient voice. He urged the people at that meeting to adopt the People's Charter §,s the basis of the Irish constitution, when they obtained the repeal of the legislative union; and told them if they did not they would have to submit to the rule of an aristocracy and a moneyocracy, and from what he saw during his visit, he was of opinion that the general feeling was in favour of the Charter. The meeting was honoured by tho presence of two special reporters from Dublin Castle. At a private meeting afterwards held 50Z was collected for the purpose of establishing a branch Chartist Association in *Dublin. He stated in conclusion that he had witnessed many scenes of poverty and distress both in England and Scotland, but never bad he witnessed such deplorable destitution as was to be seen in Ireland. He met as many as 25 persons sleeping on a turnpike road in the vicinity of Dublin, where they had been all night, having no home to go to, and he was told that they were in the habit of carrying straw on their backs and laying down in the road or in the fields whenever they were weary. Mr. J. CUMMING (Edinburgh) said the people he represented were beginning to lose faith in moral force agitation, but moral force, he thought , was the only means by which could be obtained the constitutional rights of the people to make their own laws. Mr. H. Rasauzi (Edinburgh) said the Chartists of Edinburgh and Leith were determined to support what ever steps might be taken by the Assembly, and were indifferent whether they were within the pale of the law or not.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of May 2.) Sucs.u.—To- day there was much firmness in the raw Sugar market—the home trade were desirous to further increase their stocks, and holders refrained from largely supplying the market. West India Muscovado met with a brisk demand for both the pan and scale, the rates obtained were in all cases ,6d per cwt a b ove those of Friday. The operat ions would have been on a larger scale in all sorts, had holders b een more disposed to sell. The fir s t public sale this season o f N ew Barbadoes, consisting of 150 hhds and 12 tierces, went off with animation, and at the full valuations, fine yellow realised6d, 0 1 42: 3 to 445, o 4 t 4s, good 40s to 41s 6d, middli ng 38s to 39s 37s 6d per cwt ; the qua li ty i n every respect was equal to last season. The total purchases amount to 700 hhds and tres. REFINED.—Tc-day thedemand was acti ve f or ref i ned goods for home consumption, and prices further advanced for all sorts, brown grocery lumps realising 53s 6d to 545, and Stand and Lumps 54s 6d to 55s per cwt. For Bonded Crushed export orders are on the increase, and prices have advanced to 27s to 28s per cw t f or fi rst sort. EAST INDIA.—Thi s afternoon Penang Sugar was sought after, and at auction 1,373 baskets, 447 bags sold at stiffer rates—very low brown went at 24s to 26s 6d, middling 275, good and fine 28s to 31s 6d, low yellow 32s to 33s 6d, middling 34s 35s 6d. Bengal met with a good demand, and at the public sales of 4,835 bags, a rise in the value of 6d to is per cwt took place; tine white Benares fetched 43a to 445, good 4ls 6d to 42s 6d, mid dling 40s to 41s, low 39s 6d, damp and washed 37s to 43a 6d, middling soft yellow 35s to 365. The whole found buyers. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was active for Mauritius Sugar, and at the public sales of 5,777 bags prices advanced 6d per cwt. Privately several par cels have been sold, and at similar rates. FOREIGN.—To-day several enquiries existed for Fo reign Sugar, but holders asking a furtner rise prevented business of moment in the private market. None was offered at auction. MOLASSES.—To-day West India met with a brisker demand, and realized better prices, fine Antigua sold at 19s. COCOA..—To-day, at public sale, 284 bags of Bahia were taken in at 37s to 38 for fine bright red, but damaged sold at 32s to 34s per cwt. _ _ l b ' u h s i i s n a e f s t s e . rno A o t li n tlie p r u e n w lie as sa li l t e tle ef de g r 4 e mani festedertsks C to EE ro nkidden were wentl 6a barrels is to s tA9of62ds to Jamaica of the new crop, the rates per s e o w s t 6d r l d o e w r t m h i o d se 4 o 2 f . la to st .t w 6 zek ii — ne and fine ord 37a 6d to 40s, fine ord 34 to 35s 6d, good ord 30s to 325, low ord 24s to 29s 6d, and triage 18s to 22a. In the private market a fair business was concluded in good ordinary Ceylon at 30s per cwt. TEA.—There has been more inclination manifested to operate in Congou of all descriptions; no :improvement is, however, apparent in the value. Purchases to a fair extent have been made, and holders do not appear so desirous to sell ; the rates obtained are 6d to lid for low to good ordinary. In Green the sales made are upon a more extended scale, and prices have ceased to decline; there is also not so large a quantity on offer. The value of Hyson, of low quality is is to is 2d, Twankay 5d to 6d, Gunpowder, Canton 10d to is 3d and Imperial 9d to is per lb. For public sale 7,000 pkgs are declared. RICE.—To-day there was less desire manifested to do business in East India. At auction 2,053 bags of Bengal were sold at a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt; fine white rather dusty went at lOs 6d, good lOs to 103 6d, and damaged 6s to 10s. Privately there was little passing in any sort. SPIRITS.—Te-day Leeward Island Rum was dealt in with caution, and sellers are ready to accept is 8d to 13 Bid for good. East India is much in request, and Is dd to Is 7d is the value. Of Jamaica only small parcels found buyers at 3s 5d to 4s for low and good 30 to 36 per cent. over proof, and fine 4s 2d to 4s 6d. For 50 puss Demerara, 38 over proof, 35 Id to 3s 2d was accepted. COCIIINEAL.—This afternoon more desire was mani fested in Cochineal. At auction 114 bags Honduras were sold at Id to 2d advance for the better sorts, and at former rates for inferior—low to middling silvers fetched 4a to 4s 3d, good and fine 4s 6d to 45 9d. 25 bags Mexican blocks were taken in at 4s 7d per lb. SALTPETRE. -- Today there was little desire evinced to do business in Rough, and the market was better sup. plied. At auction 1,727 bags Calcutta were all taken in about the former value. The market closes with a very dull appearance. INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for the 9th instant has been increased to 7,367 chests. In the position of the market there is not the least improve ment to make known, as the demand for all purposes continue to be extremely limited. In Spanish there has been little passing, and prices are on the decline. OILS.—In the value of Fish Oils little variation has taken place since our last report, but there is no im provement to notice in the demand for any purpose, and arrivals are upon a more extended scale. The pur chases made in Cod have been trifling at 251 to 25/ 5s per tun, at these rates holders are inclined to realise. Seal has been operated in with much caution, eanrdeadpyritcoesaccteenpdt 241 downwards. Of all kinds theen el: u ra 2 p 3a p ir ly 15 good. So u th ern i s not much required, and lOs to 261 for good and to 241 for low and middling quality. For fsil s Sperm the market has a dull appearance, and holders are willing to realise on account of the increasing stock. The low rates that prevail for Linseed Oil have attracted attention, on the spot a good demand has been found for home consumption, and purchases to a fair extent have been made by exporters. Rapeseed Oil is not much in demand. Olive met with little attention, and prices are receding. Cocoa Nut met with little attention, and the stock is on land increase.

Mr. IL BERKELEY gave notice of his intention to move, on l'hur?,day, the 11th of May, that it was expedient, in the future election of Members, that the votes should be taken by way of ballot. ALIEN BILL. Lord D. STUART gave notice of his intention, in Committee on the Alien Bill, to move an amendment on certain clanseq. The Earl of LINCOLN presented a petition from Linlithgow, in favour of the Site of Churches (Scot land) Bill. Air. MACKINNON presented a petition in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. IMMIGRATION OF FREE LABOURERS INTO THE WEST INDIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to move a vote of 200,0001. for the purpose of the immigration of free labourers to the islands of Trinidad and Guiana. He believed that all were aware of the importance attached to the immigration of free labourers to the West Indies on the coast of Africa, and the object of this vote was to further that immigration, and to defray the expenditure that had already taken place, which he believed was about 166,0001. Mr. BARCLAY said, it might perhaps appear un grateful on his part, but he felt bound to tell the Go• vernment that the loan would not enable the island to compete with those colonies where free-labour sugar was produced. This loan was the only measure that her Majesty's Government could introduce for the benefit of the colonies, but he hoped the House would not labour under the impression that temporary ex pedients of this nature were calculated to improve in any material way the condition of the colonies. l i At all events he was quite convinced that they would never enable the colonies to compete with slave-growing states; and he, therefore, trusted that the time was not far distant when the House would condescend to take into its serious con sideration the . present deplorable state of the colonies. How was it that the colonists could not raise this money upon their own security ? Why, simply because an impression prevailed that the colonies were to be left to their fate, and were never more to be taken under the fosteringcare of that House. The House should not think that it was doing an act of great generosity in voting this grant. Mr. HUME agreed with a great portion of the Hon. Gentleman's address, but particularly with that portion of it in which he stated that the colonies had been greatly injured by the mismanagement of the Colonial-office ; but he rose to oppose the grant on other grounds, and he should divide upon it. By the rules of the House no money should be spent by the Government without the consent of the House, except in cases of extreme emergency, like that for which the 5,000/. was voted ; but since 1844 the Colonial-office had entered into negotiations with the colo nies by which the House had been pledged to vote large sums of money for their use. For instance, when the Court of Policy of Trinidad desired to raise a loan and could not do so, the Colonial-office stepped into their aid, and pledged the House to in demnify them. It was utterly fallacious—it was a perfect delusion to suppose that, as these colonies were situated at present they would ever be enabled to repay ls. of any sum that might be lent to them. There was a time when they could have done so, but their credit was now gone, and such; was the deplorable financial condition of the colony, that the Government had been compelled to curtail their expenses by reducing the emoluments of their servants. Therefore, if they advanced the money, they might as well do so as a grant, for none of it would ever be repaid. The Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) was not lesss culpable than any of his predecessors, for he sanctioned the immigration of coolies at an ex pense which he pledged this country to defray by loan. He (.‘lr. Hume) wished to see the colonies left to their own management, and free from the in fluence of the Colonial-office; let them employ whom they liked, pass what laws they liked, and pay what salaries they liked; do not interfere with them, but make them responsible to the mother country. He, therefore, begged to move that the grant be postponed until the report of the Committee on West Indian Affairs was before the House, and they were informed of the intentions of the Government respecting them. Mr. GLADSTONE confessed that the repayment of the money would be questionable, and agreed with the Hon. Gentleman that as a matter of economy the hest way to bring that about was to leave matters to the transaction of the colonists themselves.— (Hear.) Whatever gratitude the West Indian islands owed for the aid afforded by the Government, or whatever responsibility attached to it, neither he nor Lord Stanley were to blame, as - it was not afforded during the time they held office. j _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was perfectly correct that the present;propo sition did not originate with the late Government; but they adopted the measure for the immigration of the coolies into the West Indies, out of which the necessity for the present loan originated. Sir R. H. INGLIS said that whatever might be the opinion with respect to the recent equilization of the duty on sugar, it bad been productive of the greatest of evils to the West Indian colonies. Notwithstand ing the injuries the colonists had sustained, he believed that they still entertained the best feelings towards the mother country, and be thought that the House would be only acting right in agreeing to advance the sums which were required for the purpose of mitigating the evils under which the colonies were at p resent suffering. He trusted that there would be no opposition to this grant. If the colonies were compelled to pay all their expenses, they would cease to look upon this country in a parental light. Mr. ROBINSON thought that the House of Commons ought not to be called upon to vote 200,0001. for the purpose of immigration before it had the report of the Emigration Committee. For aught they knew the report of that Committee might be against any further emigration to these colonies, and on such doubt it was rather too bad to take out of the pockets of the bard working people of this country so large a sum as 200,0001. Mr. HUME called upon the Government to post pone this vote for a short time in order to enable the House to have before it the report of the West India Committee. Mr. WILSON thought there was very little chance of the report of the West India Committee being laid on the table of the House for some weeks to come. Mr. HERRIES said that he would not enter into the question of responsibility, and as to the amount of the sum proposed, 166,0001., it was hardly worth while dis puting about it. He believed that the expenses were usefully incurred; and had it not been for the informal nature of the documents, the colonists wou ld have given security for the sum themselves. The nature of the expenses was twofold; expenses already incurred, and expenses to which they should be liable in order to enable the colonies to carry on the system of immigra tion, pending the reception of the report. It would be partly the duty of the Committee to decide whether such a system should be upheld; and if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would confine his vote to the sum of 166,0001, and would leave out that part of it which was prospec tive, he would be quite prepared to support him. But if he insisted upon the whole sum, then be should be disposed to vote with the Hon. Member for Montrose. They had been told that they were not to expect the report for two or three weeks; well, if such were the case, the question was not such an important one that it could not be adjourned until that time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had not the slightest wish to pledge the House to any expenditure over that which had been already in curred. The objection which he had to confining the amount of the vote had been given by his Noble Friend. They could not tell the precise amount of their liabilities, and he might have come down to the House and asked the House at a future day for a further sum of two, three, or four thousand pounds. He was perfectly ready to pledge himself that no additional expenditure should take place until the sense of the House had been taken upon the subject. Mr. BARKLY said, that when the first intimation was given of this grant, Lord Grey wrote a dispatch to the Governor of British Guiana, authorising him to draw drafts for the purposes of African immigration. Dr. BOWRING said that the authority of the Go vernment bad been given fcr the outlay of a very large sum of money before the sanction of the House had been obtained for such a proceeding—a course which was exceedingly irregular.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HAWES said that the question lay in a very narrow compass, and if it was possible to fix any precise cover for the expenditure, he was of opinion that would be very desirable. Tho history of the transaction was simply this:—ln 1844 Lord Stanley yielded to the press ing solicitations of the West Indian colonists, and as sented to this proposition on the assurance that they would make good the expenses that had been incurred. Matters remained thus when his Right Hon .Friend, Mr. Gladstone, accepted office, and he, on the same assu rance, consented to a continuance of the system, and immigration ordinances were passed, both in British Guiana and Demerara. These ordinances were per vaded with great defects, limiting, as they (lid, the rate of interest on the capital to be raised. The consequence must, however, be the stoppage of immigration until the necessary funds were raised by the colonies. British Guiana had raised upwards of 100,0001., which was expended in the payment of the then existing ; and Trinidad furnished a sum of 50 n ,000/., which was spent in a similar way. Such was the state of circumstances when, in the course of last year, Lord Grey gave his sanction to the policy thus introduced, and the colonies incurred liabilities to the extent of 166,0001.—that was to say, so far as was yet known.—(Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume.) The figures here stated showed the amount of debt which they were actually aware had been contracted ; but in order to guard against unlimited liability, or any unwise expen diture on the part of the colony, the whole sum proposed by Lord Grey, to be allotted in the manner in question, was limited to 200,0001. Of this 166,0001. had been actually expended, and the liability might probably amount to 10,0001., or 20,0001, more, always, however, " keeping within the 200,000/. If this vote were to be postponed, then the e fiaet would be to put an inimediate stop to cooly immigration. The hue of policy which would be advanced by the House assenting to his pro posal was one which had been sanctioned by titre e successive Governments. At present the colonies of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Demerara, were pressing for a supply of labour from the coast of Africa (as we under stood), and, accordingly, a number of liberated Africans had been conveyed to our West Indian colonies, instead of being taken to Sierra Leone or other settlements on the African coast, while no further contract for the conveyance of hill-coolies would be entered into. The 200,0001. now asked for would, it was thought, cover all the expenses which had been incurred, sad no further sum would or could be demanded. Mr. CARDWELL said that there were two questions before the Committee. The Honourable Gentleman opposite had spoken truly when be said that successive Secretaries of State had sanctioned the immigration of coolies. So far one of the qaestions in discussion was disposed of. But that which remained was a question of advancing our credit for the promotion of this immi gration —a policy which successive Secretaries of Stme had not sanctioned.—(Hear, hear.) It was true that Lord Stanley in 1844 had sanctioned immigration upon the credit of the colonies, and his Right Honourable Friend near him had pursued the same course of policy. Again, last year, the colonies were empowered to raise money upon their own credit, but with a pledge that it should be guaranteed by the credit of this country. But this was the first time that they had been called upon to consider whether they should pledge the credit of the empire to guarantee the credit of the colonies.— (Hear, hear.) At present there was a Committee sitting which had presented to the House, in six successive reports, all the evidence taken before it, and which was now about to deliberate upon its final report. If that Committee should report that the West India colonies were so much depressed that we ought to come forward with the guarantee of this country, then the ' question might be legitimately considered ; and if the House should decide in favour of the claims of the colonies, he hoped they would be well aware that the step which they would be then about to take was no un importunt one.—(Hear, hear.) The credit of the coun try was the property of the country, and the House ought to be as careful of pledging the country's credit as they would be chary of advancing its money. Let them beware, then, of taking this important step in a hurry. Let them limit the vote to be now granted to the amount which they knew had been actually ex pended, and let them, at all events, refrain from pledg ing the credit of the country for the debts of the people until the report of the Committee sitting upon the sub ject had been laid before the House.—(Hear.) Mr. T. BARING observed, that some expectations had been held out to the colony that a portion of this money was to be applied to African emigration. With respect to the sums already expended, as he understood the matter, the Government had chartered vessels, made themselves responsible for the freight, taking the guaran tee of the colonies for repayment; and therefore he contended that the country was bound to make good the debt. The 40,0001. not vet—so far as was known— expended, might be required for the further immigration of a coloured population into our colonies. The House was advised, however, to incur no expense further than the debt which had been already contracted. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Liverpool bad contended against Parliament guaranteeing further expenditure, because by doing so it would be involving itself in an unfair system of giving its credit to the colonies. But that system had been already sanctioned by the measure passed with reference to Canada.—(Hear.) The credit of this country was extended in favour of Canada, when it was in a distressed condition, and to say that the ex pense which might be incurred in promoting immigra tion ought not to be now guaranteed, was to urge a doctrine directly in violation of the promises made to the West India colonies, but still only of a piece with that severe legislation to which they had been so long subjected.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. HILDYARD said that 166,0001. had been expended under the expectation that the colony would be able to repay it. That expectation had not, however, been fulfilled, and the amount would become a bad debt incurred by the Imperial Government. In voting the sum in question, therefore, they were only making pro vision for expenses actu a lly i ncurre d , tak i ng all the se curities which the colonies could give for the repayment of the money. Therefore, as regarded the 166,000/., it appeared to him that we were only paying a sum fur which we had made ourselves liable, but for the repay ment of which by the parties primarily benefited we held all the securities we could obtain or they could give. Lord J. RUSSELL (who spoke in a very low tone, and was very indistinctly heard in the gallery) said that when he was Secretary for the Colonies ho had always advised the Crown to refuse any sanction to those loans. lie had done so not so much upon impe rial as upon colonial grounds; at the same time, how ever, that he thought it unadvisable for the Govern ment to mortgage its revenues, and incur the de ficit thereby occasioned. When Lord Stanley and the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite were Secretaries for the Colonies, they sanctioned loans for the purposes of immigration, to be raised by the colonies; and the interest, until repayment, to be defrayed by the colonies. They did not contemplate that either the credit or the resources of this country would be required for the purPose of raising these loans. But it so happened, after these loans had been made and great expenses in curred—expenses voted by the Colonial Legislatures and sanctioned hero by the Crown--after great expense's had been incurred, and after orders had been sent out: for the immigration of Coolies to the West Indian colenie's—that these colbnies fell into such a state of distress that it be• came difficult for them to raise loans. The money market here, indeed, was in such a state, that they found it im possible to raise loans; and under these circumstances it became a question for the present Government whether they would not aid the colonies—distressed as they were—with respect to the liabilities thus incurred. Now, it was, no doubt, competent for Parliament to say that they would reject any such proposal; but such rejection would not, he thought, be fair to the colonies, and would not be consistent with the manner in which Parliament had generally acted after Ministers had declared that they thought that the credit of this country ought to be employed in helping the colo nies to raise the means for supplying themselves with that amount of labour—confessedly necessary for their prosperity. The Right Honourable Gentleman the Member far Stamford (Mr. Herries) had, he thought, in principle laid down a fair distinction; and if that dis tinction could be carried ppl out o int o R practice,igh Right e H s o h n o o u u l r d a s b e le e no objection to its aic atin. The Gentleman contended that the sums already actually expended should be voted at once, but that the conside ration of the expenses which were now proceeding should be deferred until the House should have had the report of the Committee now sitting upon the subject. If any practical distinction of the kind could be made between the sums proposed to be voted, ho (Lord John Russell) would be willing to carry it into effect. The sum ac tually spent was 166,0001., and it did not seem to him to be of very great importance whether they took a sum rather beyond that, which might probably be required, or whether they took a vote for a sum under the amount, and came to Parliament again for the balance, whatever it might be. He repeated that he was indifferent as to which course was taken.—(Hear, hear.) The Honour able Member for Huntingdon (Mr. T. Baring) had, be thought, mistaken his Right Honourable Friend near him, when ho (Mr. T. Baring) stated that be cause a Government were not ready to enter into new loans, according to the plan stated in the early part of the session, and announced by Lord Grey in a dispatch to the colonies, that therefore they were ready to abandon a scheme advantageous to:the West Indies. He (Lord John Russell) did not think that his Hon, l s m e t Government.

For his own part, whether the Committee agreed to the vote of 160,0004 or to that for the larger sum, he considered to be a matter of little moment. Indeed, between the views taken by himself, and those urged by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Stamford, there was, so far as principle went, no substantial difference. Mr. HERRIES asked the Chairman to read the clause, which was done. - - --- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the colonies had received certain sums of money, for the repayment of which they were liable. The colonies proposed to raise the necessary amount by loans sanctioned by the Home Government. They found, however, that that could not be effected, owing to the present state of the money market. The proposal, there fore, now was, to lend to the colonies that which they could not borrow elsewhere.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUDSON thought that the money actually ex pended might now be voted, while the Government could come to the House again for the amount for which liabilities might be still incurred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that 170,0004 might be taken on that account. Mr—HUME protested against a Colonial Minister pledging the credit of the country, and bringing it into debt. In 1844 Lord Stanley had directed ships to be hired, coolies to be conveyed, and bills to be drawn on the colonies for the amount. The colonists, however, not being able to realise any loans, the bills remained unpaid, and Government was now called upon to inter fere. Expenses might, however, be yet accumulating, and before he consented to vote a single shilling, orders should be sent out to put a stop to the system. Mr. HAWES was understood to intimate that this had been done. _ enc th e, at ca ino s r e de h r e t t h v a is t hed to se he mighte r. how dln Government had encourage d the e i o M l. f: E r t e the ° cuot presentri u r e u s e p d o — n t j he contraction of liabilities. He found in the papers already on the table a dispatch from Earl Grey, dated " Downing street, February 16th," in which the Noble Lord state I that Government had determined to advance 200,0001. to the West Indian Colonies. Now, no Secre tary of State had a right to say anything of the sort. He would have been as much justified in saying that Government had determined to increase the income-tax by five per cent. The dispatch in question went on to say that in case of any difficulty being experienced in p:oviding for the payment of freight and bounties, the colonies would be at liberty to draw upon the Commis sioners of Colonial Lands and Emigration. Now, what he wished the House at present to do was, to postpone the question until the report of the Committee should be before it; while in the mean time the whole of the corre spondence on the subject might be got ready and pro duced. If they were to pay what w4s already spent, let a stop be put to the system for the future. With these views, he begged to move that the Chairman report pro gress, the object of the delay being to postpone the dis cussion for a week, until they had all the documents re lating to the subject before them.
