PUBLIC EDUCATION. L'We have now before us an Account (which was ordered to Printed by the House of Commons , 25th May, 1835) of all L . ll tas granted in aid of the Erec tion of Schools in England ' 1 Scotland, and of Model Schools in England. X 20,000 was voted last year (7th March, 1834) for these ejects, o f which 19,8521. 14s. have been appropriated by the his of the Treasury, on the principle that the number of molars proposed to be educated shall be in the proportion of t eh t i l l ° to every 1/. applied for. A p riorit y in the distribution of L e. grant appears to have been give n to towns where the popu 'tlon is stated to exceed 5,000 inhabitants. Ey a statement of applicati ons for aid in the erection of „ "`:titrll-houses, now before the Treasury which have not been i° 4 liilled with, the amount granted by Parliament being ex :listed, as before stated, it appears that 25,3661. is asked for, is something less than half the estimated expense of ildin g .

Last night Beethoven's celebrated opera of Fidelio was produced at this theatre with complete success. Mr. Bedford ZPgring as Don Pizarro, Mr. Templeto n as Florestino, Mr. in as Rocco, Mrs. Seguin as Marceline, and Madame ralibran as .Fidelio. In the performance of Madame Ma- I: 1 :U, it is difficult to say which was mo st worth y of p raise, r acting or her singing. In the former department, the v t ison scene in the last act of the opera was a chef d'ceuvre, the li ne lam his wife," being given with a degree of feeling lUite as electrical as the celebrated lo of Madame Pasta in :?e opera of Medea, while the stage effect of the latter part of tilts scene , where the heroine interposes between her husband Pizarro, was in every respect equal to any thing that has Nr b een witnessed at this theatre. The vocal part of the performance was also highly successful throughout the opera, ltd the finale was honoured with a unanimous encore, in addi "cal to which, at its conclusion. Madame Malibran was called 4 *, and appeared to receive the plaudits of the very numerous laldience by which the theatre was crowded to excess. The place was announced for Monday next amidst great applause. PROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The followinc , extracts of a letter from Thomas Gordon , a settler in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada, to a friend in this country contains some very interesting infor mation relative to that part of the Canadas, worthy of the attention of those who are about to leave their native land for our rapidly improving Canadian possessions : Sherbrook, Eastern Townships, L. C. 10th March, 1835. Believing you have had access to my letters, to my re ;;;!ions for an account of myself and circumstances, I will devote the remainder of my limits to an account of this part of the country and its capabilities. This may be the more inte resting as the recent establishment of the British American Land Company is likely to turn the attention of emigrants to this long neglected section of the Canadas, the advantages of which to the labouring part of the community, especially to those who prefer independence to a state of dependence upon others, I consider to be perfectly evident, whether for the invest ment of capital by the practical agriculturist, or for the indus trious labourer who may be desirous of establishing himself by a few years of patient perseverance, as a lord of the soil, de pendant only on Divine Providence, enjoying a degree of poli tical and religious liberty, equal at least to any country upon earth, and as healthy as the most favoured parts of the Dritish Islands. The ague, intermittent, lake, and naturalisation fevers of the Upper Country are unknown here, and a bettor evi dence of the salubrity of our climate cannot be given, than that in 1832 and 1834, whilst the cholera was raging in the cities, and many of the country parts of both provtnoes, not a single case occurred in the Eastern Townships. The general price of wheat here is ss. per bushel in winter, and 6s. 3d. in summer ; Indian corn, from 3s. 9d. to ss. ; rye, not much raised, and barley the same ; pease, from ss. to 6s. 3d. ; oats, from Is. 3d. to 2s. ; and potatoes, from Is. to 2s. ; all of which, except the two first, are sure crops. Fruits of various kinds are also cultivated with success. Our proxi. mity to the principal- markets, being within two days drive of either Quebec or Montreal, is no inconsiderable advantage, and, as a grazing country, the Townships are perhaps un equalled in British America. Our horned cattle are scarcely inferior to the finest breeds of England; and beef sells from 2d. to 4d. per lb., according to the season and quality. Horses are hardy and active, and sell from 101. to 301., and upwards for fancy horses. Sheep are thrifty and prolific, and mutton is about the same price as beef. Hogs are plenty, and at 18 or 20 months old, generally weigh, when fatted, from three to four hundred, and are sold in winter by the carcase at from 225. 6d. to 30s. per hundred, The price of butter is from 6d. to 10d., and cheese from 4d. to od. Having spoken thus favourably of this part of the Canadas, I would advise the aged and infirm to remain where they are, but the practical farmer would, I am convinced, with the same proportion of labour and capital, be better able to provide for a family than by renting lands from another on the most fa vourable terms. Labouring men with families, with little more than sufficient to carry them to their destination, would find it hard beginning, but I know many who, sixteen years ago, wen! not worth al., who are now in comfortable circumstances, and have reed and educated large families. Young men without capital can readily find employment, at from 14 Ws. to 21. Ws. per month, according to their capacity to labour, and in two or throe years they can purchase a piece of wild land on which they can work occasionally for two or three years m ore, when, if they have been frugal and industrious they can begin the world in easy circumstances. Mechanics' wage • s here are rather high , but the demand for them is limited. Joiners and oarpet . iters, 4P4 masons, or rather b r icklayers, have $44411s Italie from fa. 10s. t fr 0 0m 31. 5 1 5 0 . s., and is. 6shoemakers per d ay. a and il ta ck tailors from g 4s. toj. fis. vier month, with bed and board, and generally washing. Me however, especially those w i th families, coming to chanies, --illy take to farming as the surest road to this country, gen..— _ independence. Many persons emigrating to Ng mein—, error in bringing quantities of useless ltimber ltilih ?Amu, at a great expense. The only profitable articles for perk:di§ in ordinary circumstances are bedding and wearing apparel, and a few of the most ordinary joiners' tools, such as are useful about every farming establishment. A prudent man will find money in his pocket as convenient and as profitable as any- ' 4 "y commit a great .nd thing else, although it would not be good policy to bring a large sum with him. It would be safer to remit it through the Land Company, receiving the difference of exchange. The state of society is good, crime being scarcely known here. A great majority of the inhabitants are Americans, a shrewd, active, and intelligent people, and withal moral, peaceable, and benevolent. Education is almost universal, being liberally supported by legislative aid; it is accessible to the rich and the poor. Our leading roads are tolerably good, and improving every year, and the forementioned Company is expected to lay out large sums in the making of roads and building bridges the ensuing summer, which will increase the demand for labour. I would lastly recommend a strong ship, with a temperate commander, and provide a few simple me dicines, and plenty of wholesome provisions; sea-sickness sometimes cures a bilious habit, but kills nobody. * THOS. GORDON. RIOTS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. THIRD DAY.-THURSDAY. The examination was resumed this morning soon after nine. Mr. William Hay—This witness's testimony was but a re capitulation of evidence given before. He said the tumult was great. He remarked several times the leniency of the soldiers. It was fortunate the yeomanry had not been called out, for the people would not have been so well off. The soldiers were severely pelted by the mob, and they bore it with astonishing good temper. Heard about 50 shots fired in the course of the evening. The excitement on this occasion was much greater than he had known it at any previous election within his ac quaintance with the town, which was eight years. George Pringle's testimony was corroborative of that of most of those who had been previously examined, as to the violent conduct of the mob. T. H. Fowke—l saw a great crowd. They were shouting, arid I saw several stones thrown. I saw the soldier, whose horse had fallen, getting up from the ground. At this time no shut had been fired that I heard. Four soldiers rode up towards the church-yard and fired. Two of them who fired carbines raised them so as to fire over the heads of the people. I could not say how those who fired their pistols raised them— that is, whether they took aim or not, but I can speak from my own observation of the men who fired carbines. Witness went on to say that he saw many men picking up large stones, and others throwing at the troops. He could not speak as to the state of the town on Thursday or Friday. Mrs. Eliza Longmore—l saw the people run and pursued by the soldiers, but not till they had had many a shower of, stones from thein. One soldier could not get past the corner,' for his horse would not face the shower of stones. Another got up to the Lich gates, but could not get through. He re ceived many a severe blow, whoever he was, before he fired. At last he did fire, but it was over the heads of the people; and before he fired again he had a shower of stones on him. He again fired. The shower of stones was like thunder, it was so momentary. There were crowds in the church-yard, and on the church roof. The body of the church was covered with them. There were persons also on the steeple. I saw several soldiers struck. I saw 20 shots fired from the car bines. I took notice that they were aimed high and over the heads of the people. Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Swan, his evidence went strongly to corroborate that of the other witnesses who spoke of the riotous conduct of the mob in front of the Swan. Se veral of his windows were broken. Thinks that but for the military his house would have been pulled down. Richard Diggory—l am an assistant constable. I found no difficulty in preserving the peace on the Tuesday. On Wed nesday there was a great crowd in the Market-place and the streets near. The market was not interrupted that I saw. There was no resistance offered to me before the Riot Act was read. I apprehended some persons, and no resistance was made. I had not my staff. I had a stick. There was about 20 assistant or special constables, but there was no organized, plan that I knew of. It was the Rev. Mr. Clare who ordered the troops to clear the Market-place and the streets, and the officer then gave, orders to the men. I went to the Lich gates. They were closed, and there was a great crowd inside. They were throwing stones. 1 was struck twice. I saw the horse fall. He fell twice. He got up after the first fall, but was down in an instant again. That horse died. I don't think there was a shot fired when the horse fell. I saw only one sol- Bier intoxicated. That was in the Market-place. He was brought to the Swan, dismounted, and locked up for the night. Witness spoke of- the state of the town on Thursday and Fri day, which he concurred with former witnesses in describing as one of great excitement. Sarah Peacock—Continued three hours in the tumult with out being at all alarmed. Did not see the soldiers strike any one—they were quite cool. It was a little after nine when the soldiers fired over the people's heads. Joseph Sparrow, night-surveyor of the watch, and three watchmen, deposed to the tumultuous conduct of the mob, and the forbearance of the military. The Rev. John Clare, a Magistrate of the Courts for thirty years, and Deputy Chairman of Quarter Sessions for tenyear of that time. This gentleman's " personal observation was not much." Fifty or sixty special constables were sworn into' act under the direction of Mr. Jordan. I went to the front room of the Swan. Saw the greatest consternation there, the persons expressing the greatest alarm and calling on me for protection. They showed me stones with which the room was strewed, and pointed to the windows that were broken, and called on me to give protecticra and :tad the Ries_ Ae, , te , which I objected, and when I was there I saw an inunease body of people ; I do not know to what amount ; I never saw such a body there before ; should think two thousand in a dense mass. This gentleman's evidence, which extends to great length, was corroborative of the principal facts stated by preceding witnesses. He was urged to read the Riot .Act, but declined until he had tried to persuade the people to dis perse. He did not go out with the soldiers. He never gave any order to fire, nor heard any given. The soldiers under Captain Manning acted immediately after the Riot Aet was read. I heard the firing. I knew I was the only Magistrate in the town, but expressed no surprise at the firing and took no measures to prevent it. I might have said to Captain Manning that he should act according to his own judgment and discre tion. I might have said this in the passage of the inn. Mr. Hill, Magistrate and banker, did not interfere during the election beyond the swearing in special constables. I wrote a letter to the commanding officer of the troop (which letter Mr. Clare signed), requesting him to hold himself in readiness to come at a moment's notice. Soon after we sent a second letter, requesting him to come to Sedgeley, three miles from Wolverhampton. That letter was sent in conse quence of a further communication with the High Constable. When the poll was closed the crowd came in so rapidly that Mr. Clare and I thought it necessary to send a message for the troops to come nearer to the town, but not into it until further orders. I stopped in the church-yard from four o'clock until nearly five, and saw reason to request the soldiers to enter the town, the election being over. I gave the order to the High Constable, Captain Jordan. The market-place was as full as possible at that time. After that I observed that the crowd became more quiet. The ordinary civil power of Wolverhampton is miserably weak for such a population. Two constables are appointed by the Court Leet, and they appoint four deputies, one of whom superintends the night, and another looks after the market-place, and receives the tolls. Those two are paid by the Corporation, the other two have no re muneration, except what they derive from serving warrants, &c. Those special constables who were sworn in were told to place themselves under the command of Captain Jordan. I heard shots fired as I entered the town. I know of no orders given by Mr. Clare to Captain Manning. This gentleman's evidence (which closed the case on the part of the Magis trates) was in the main the same as that given by the Rev. Mr. Clare. The case for the people was then entered upon. The first witness called was The Rev. S. Hunter, who spoke to the peaceable disposition of the crowd on Wednesday up to a quarter before seven. Mr. Bolton, solicitor—l was at the booth in Darlington street, at which there was about one dozen people. I was at the booth in the square three times on that day. The people wore peaceable. I saw no obstruction offered to any voter the first time. The second, Sparrow, the constable, had some difficulty in making room for a chaise. This was owing to the density of the crowd: I saw nothing like vios fence. I did hear hissing and hooting, but the conduct of the people Was peaceable and even cheerful, I saw no constable present except Sparrow, and I saw him of his own accord clear a apace of about two yards round the booth. On Wed nesday evening I went from home into Bilston-street, and from thence to Stafford-street, and my own garden. I saw no violence as I went along. On my way bnck I met in Bury street a crowd of women and children running in great alarm- I saw two soldiers, but I saw no violence on either side. went home, but went out again afterwards to look for my bro ther, and saw soldiers in Dudley-street, who appeared to be riding furiously—one of them on the footway. People were running away in different directions. There was plenty of room at the time for two horses in the streetway. I saw no stones thrown that night. A little after ten o'clock I went to St. John's-square to bring home a young lady who was on a visit at my house. I overtook three women in Temple-street. In Bond-street I heard a shot near mo and ran Into St. John street, On returning home I found my hall-door locked, and my family in great alarm. When I was at the booths Mr. Manby and others in the booth were any thing but alarmed. The next day I passed the Swan, and counted only five squares of glass broken. Mr. Charles Sheppard, factor—About ten minutes before six on Wednesday, I saw one gentleman in the Swan window, on the right of the balcony, draw the blind on one side, and put his Angers to his nose in an indecent and pro voking manner. The people yelled and hooted. I saw no constables acting in the market place, but I saw a few of them standing under the Swan. On Wednesday night some one in the mob attempted to take my stave away from me. There was a crowd of 300 or 400 persons near the Swan on Thurs day evening. Neither myself nor any other special constable interfered, for we had no direction how to act. I went to Captain Jordon for orders, but he gave me none, The Riot Act was read by Mr. Briscoe on that night, and the bugle im mediately sounded. In about five minutes the soldiers went out and cleared the market-place. Thomas Davis-- On Wednesday there were /Asses and groans, and some manure Nyfls guilg at the carriage that was taking the poll clerks away, From four o'clock until neirly seven, I was in Dudley-street, and saw no signs of disorder. J. G. Higgs spoke to the peaceable state of the town on Wednesday, and to the fact that- being a collector of the market tolls he was enabled to collect them on the Wednes day without the slightest obstruction. One of his men was beaten by a soldier while assisting to Tel - me. tliip stalls, and the --'4;er subsequently cocked his carbine, and threatened saute - they sought refuge, if they did to fire &lin MI entry, - not come out. Ile firmly belie ved tirx;i the soldier wits drtyll; It was his opinion at the time. The Court adjourned shortly after seven o'clock. 0/ 9 2( 7- 0 -- 6 ( e THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1835. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. A poor . Irish woman, whose name was not mentioned, ap plied yesterday to Mr. Alderman LAINSON for his advice how to recover a lost child. Mr. Miller, the assistant-overseer of St. Sepulchre's, stated that on the 3d of March a poor sickly boy, about three years old, was dropped at the door of the workhouse, and after taking the usual means, by advertisements and small bills, to discover the parents, at the end of three weeks some 14rge placards, offering five guineas reward, were posted about the streets. Though no clue was obtained as to the parents the child was got rid of, for a good-looking motherly sort of wo man, about thirty years old, the wife of one of Whitbread's draymen, who had no family of her own, called at the work house, and after looking at the child, offered to take it if the parish.would give it an outfit. Her proposal was taken into consideration, and she bearing a good character in her own neighbourhood, the child was given up to her on the Bth of April, with 21. to buy it clothes. A few days ago the ap plicant came to the workhouse to claim the child, and stated that she had been to Ireland for the last five months to see her dying mother, and on her return to St. Giles's she found that her husband,C about two months after she left him, dropped her poor boy, and ran away - with his landlady. Upon going to the drayman's wife to reclaim the child, the parish officers found that she had treated it very kindly. It had thriven amazingly under -her care. She was desired to bring it to the Board on Wednesday, and the applicant being also in attendance, was first shown another child of the same age, which she immediately said was not the child she was in search of. The other child was then introduced, and she said that was her little Johnny, but it was so fat and well she hardly knew it, nor did the child seem to recognize her in the way that might be expected. There was some hesitation, there fore, whether she was truly the mother, and the foster-mother and the reputed mother were sent immediately with the beadle to St. Giles's, to see whether the neighbours could recognize the child. This they did in an unequivocal manner, but as they were returning to the work-house, the drayman's wife gave them the slip, carrying off little Johnny, and had not been heard of since. liter husband had not been able to dis cover wha4 bad become of her, and a description of her and the child had been given to the police. He was not aware that anything else could be done, but the applicant was not I satisfied. Mr. Alderman LAINSON said it appeared to him that the parish-officer had done everything that was possible. She must await, patiently, the search of the police ; and, at all events, it was consoling to know that the child was in kind hands. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Reynolds, the High Constable of the Tower Hamlets district, and Mr. Pearce, the superintendent of the H division of police, waited on the Hon. G. C. NORTON to have his advice and assistance in putting down the penny play houses, which were an intolerable nuisance in the neighbour hood of Brick-lane. Mr. NORTON recommended the parties to apply to the Ma gistrates at Worship-street. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a young man named Edwin Gaskill, late in the employment of the proprietor of The Sun newspaper, was brought before Messrs. MINsnuLL and HALLS, by Gardiner, the officer, charged with excessive cruelty to a horse, in con sequence of which, it was alleged, the animal died. The prosecution was at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the solicitor to the As sociation was present to conduct the case. James Parker, a waterman plying on the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge, deposed that on Thursday afternoon, the 4th inst., he saw the defendant riding a horse towards the bridge at a tremendous pace, and whipping and spurring the animal with great violence. The horse was much distressed, and, as it passed over the bridge, reeled from one side of the road to the other. William Brown, one of the bridge-keepers, stated that he saw the defendant coming along at the rate of thirteen or fourteen miles an hour up hill. The horse was greatly distressed, and he observed that the defendant's spurs were clotted with blood, and the sides of the horse much swelled with spurring. He saw the horse stagger so much as it was approaching a waggon, that he thought the rider must havo rolled off underneath the wheels. Thomas Wood Williams, a waterman on the Strand side, said he was standing at the foot of the bridge, looking anxi ously for the arrival of The Sun express with the result of the great Derby race at Epsom, when he saw the defendant, who usually rode the expresses for that journal, coming along at a terrible rate. He was beating the horse with his whip right and left, and spurring him unmercifully. The horse at length could proceed no further, and staggered and fell. The defendant then gave the horse to the care of a person, and went on to the office of The Sun with his express. As he passed, witness saw that his boots and spurs were much stained with blood. The horse remained on the ground an hour and forty minutes, and was then taken to the stable. The Solicitor—Was the defendant whipping and spurring the animal more than was necessary to urge it to its fullest speed ? Witness—Certainly. I never saw greater cruelty in my life ; and I was so much shocked and excited that I cried like a child. P1 , ..u.5--4s it your opinion that the horse fell in con sequence of the violence of the whipping and spurring in flicted by the defendant? Witness—Most certainly. Caleb Tilt, toll-taker on the Strand side, saw the defendant ride to within a few yards of the gate, when the horse fell. He tried to raise the horse and get him on, but could not ; and he then ordered a person to take him as soon as possible to the stable and have him bled. Witness saw the defendant as he was coming along strike the horse right and left, and the sides of the animal were very bloody ; and had bumps upon them, occasioned by the spurring. There was blood upon the de fendant's spurs. This was the whole of the evidence for the prosecution, and the defendant, in answer to the charge, said the horse died the same night, but not from the hard riding, or the whipping and spurring on his part, but from having had too great a quantity of cold water given to him at the inn where he was left on the road to wait for him (defendant). He was employed to bring the result of the Derby race to The Sun, and certainly used the spurs and whip, but not more than was necessary, nor with any degree of cruelty. Another animal, perhaps, would not not have felt the spurring half so much, but the horse he rode happened to be very tender-skinned. He had a witness who would prove that the animal died from a previous disease of the lungs, and not from his treatment. Solicitor—We don't charge you with occasioning the death. Our charge is simply for cruel usage. A witness was called, who said he examined the horse after it was brought to the stable, and after death, and was of opinion that the lungs had been for some time diseased, and that the death was accelerated by too great a quantity of cold water having been given. Mr. HALLS--You know something about horses ? Wit ness—l do, Sir. lam a farrier. Mr. HALLS—And do you think that when a horse has dis eased lungs, that the best mode of cure or relief is to bleed it with spurs, and to lay on right and left with the whip, in order to urge it on to a degree of speed beyond its strength ? Witness—No, Sir ; I cannot say that ; but I do not think the death was occasioned by that. Mr. HALLS—I should have thought that the knowledge that the poor animal was diseased would have induced more tender treatment. The only question is, whether the de fendant used more severity towards the animal than wa• . necessary for all rational purposes ? And it certainly does appear to me, upon the evidence, that the treatment was most brutal ; for when the defendant saw that the poor creature was fatigued beyond the power of further exertion, he still urged him, until he dropped and died. The Defendant—All the witnesses now here were as anxious for the news as I was to convey it, agreeably to my orders. They were on the look-out to see roe come in. Mr. HALLS—That does not alter the case at all. Such cruelty is not to be tolerated in the heart of the metropolis, merely because people are to be informed at a particular time of the result of a horse race. I consider it a case of wanton brutality, and I shall inflict the highest penalty. The defendant pleaded in mitigation that he had left his em ployment at The Sun Office in consequence of this transaction. Mr. HALLS said that fact only went to prove that his em ployers were not disposed to sanction such conduct. The defendant was then fined in the full penalty of 51., and in default ordered to stand committed for three months to the House of Correction. Our reporter understood that the money was paid in the course of the afternoon. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES, THURIID4r.

HOUSE OF LORDS, .1 - ;;NE 12. The House was engaged up to a quarter past five o'clock with hearing evidence in support of Lambert'3 Divorce Bill. Lord DENMAN, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY sat as Lords Commissioners, when the Commons haying appeared at the Bar, the Royal assent was given to the Deptford Pier Bill—the abolition of unnecessary Oaths Bill, the Westminster Paying, Light ing, &c. Bill, the Ramsgate Water Works Bill, the Warring ton and Newtown Railway Bill, the Croydon Railway Bill, the Grand Junction Canal Improvement Bill, the Llanelly Gas Bill, the Devonport Market Bill, Conyer's Divorce Bill, se. veral Road hills, and five Naturalization Bills. Petitions in favour of protection to the Church of Scotland, were presented by the Duke of GORDON and the Earl of MELVILLE. GENERAL EDUCATION, Lord BROUGHAM said, that it would be in the recollection of their - Lordships that he brought resolu lutions forward relative to general Education ;those resolutions had been printed, and were no doubt in the hands of their Lord ships, and it therefore only remained for him, with the sanction of the House, to appoint a day for taking them into consideration. If it met with their Lordships' approbation, he would appoint Thursday next. Several Noble Peers here intimated that that day was the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Lord Bit OUGHA M begged pardon. He could assure the House that he had no wish to put the schoolmaster in competition with that illustrious event, or the illustrious person who had achieved it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Perhaps,—but he almost doubted that it would not be convenient to their Lordships the day after—( Laughter) —perhaps Monday would be more convenient. The Earl of R ADNOR said he intended that his motion relative to the Universities was fixed for tlatit day. Lord BROUGHAM did not wi.;:u to interfere with the Noble Earl, and would therefore Co, Tuesday next for bring ing the subject forward. LORD BROT: f GHANp Lord BROUGH S PENSION. then referred to a statement which had not appeared he had been . dc On the votes of Parliament, but with which quaintcd through another though perhaps not SO re g r - ' tar a channel of communication. He had an oppor t":‘,iti of understanding that a statement was made the night ' before in another place ; and though that statement was made coupled with complimentary expressions to himself and others, still, as it was totally untrue, he considered it right to give it an immediate and most positive contradiction. It was stated that he enjoyed many thousands of the public money ; that he had, not 5,000/. a-year, but 15,000/; that he had it for absolutely doing nothing, after having enjoyed the larger salary for four years. Now he should enjoy his present pen sion if he had been but five minutes Chancellor, and lie en joyed it as a compensation for the loss of a much larger sum, his title to which be had voluntarily abandoned. If those ex cellent persons who were so very economical, and who seemed to overlook his judicial labours in that House, would send up . a Bill to their Lordships for removing him from their Lord ships' House, he would be (but be it borne in mind he did not say this out of any disrespect to their Lordships) the very first person to second it, and to further by every means in his power its progress through that House.—( A laugh.) The • very persons who clamoured and complained of his pension when he offered, without any additional remuneration, to take upon himself the duties of another very laborious office—those very persons, by their clamours, drove_him to retract his ori ginal offer. He had two witnesses who could testify what he then said. " Mark," he said to those two witnesses, " what will soon follow ; those persons raising this clamour will be the first to complain of my having a pension." And the event justified his prediction. Those were the very same persons that now complained of his having a pension. When it was said that he did nothing for his pension, it ought to be borne in mind that for upwards of ten weeks, including the Whitsun tide recess, lie had sat in that House, in a judicial capacity, for six or seven hours a day, during frequently five or six days in the week. He knew that it was his duty to do all lie could in assisting (he was aware how very feeble his assistance was) in the judicial business of that House. In the forty-eight causes decided during the time he mentioned, there were a greater number of written judgments delivered than ever bad been before in that time, and on the same number of causes. SLAVERY. Lord BROUGHAM seeing his Noble Friend the Secre tary for the Colonies in his place, would repeat the question he had put on the previous day, but to which he had received no answer, in consequence of his Noble Friend being then ab sent. The question referred to 30,000 slaves that had been piratically introduced into the Island of Mauritius. He first wished to know whether any measures had been taken to ob tain the release of those negroes, and, in the second place, whether, if it were possible, measures would be taken to pre vent the planters who were engaged in introducing those slaves from receiving any part of the 20,000,0001. granted by the people of this country, and intended as a compensation to slave proprietors ? Lord G L ENE L G was fully aware of the practical diffi culties in the way of accomplishing the object which his Noble and Learned Friend seemed to have in view. Although he said this he wouldbe most happy to give his support to any measure by which the evil could be remedied, but he, at the same time, feared that the period for such a measure had long since passed. Their Lordships must all feel that the difficultl.es which surrounded the identification of any individual. negro who had been illegally imported into the Mauritir,.s were all but insurmountable.—( Hear.) It was, he adm.:ited, quite true that there had been illegal importations of ;Laves into that colony. The fact had been satisfactorily ascertained by the Commis sioners who had been sent out there to inquire into the sub ject. And although they stated that this illegal traffic had been carried on to a considerable extent, they did not specify whether the number of negroes imported amounted to 30,000, or any other number ; they mentioned no specific number. Now, besides the difficulty of selecting and identifying any individual negro who had been illegally imported, there were a great variety of other difficultits in the way ; inasmuch as the importation of slaves into the Mauritius had altogether ceased during the last fifteen years. It had been his duty, since he entered the office which he had the honour to hold, to examine into the facts connected with this question, and. from the best information he was able to procure on the subject, he had arrived at the conclusion that, since 1820, no importation of slaves had taken place into the Mauritius. It was in 1817, 1818, and 1819, that the first attempts to put an end to the traffic in the colony were made by Colonel flail and Colo nel Dowling. Those officers did their duty admirably, and the result was, that an end was put to all further importation of slaves. He was told that a negro who had been illegally imported was entitled to his freedom, because, never hav ing been a slave, he had never forfeited his liberty ; but then came the difiieulty of proving such a case. Until the Isle of Frar.ce became an acquisition of this country, the slave trade was carried on there to a considerable extent ; but lie admitted that his Noble Friend (Lord Ripon), when at the head of the Colonial Department, applied himself to this subject. His Noble Friend commissioned a gentleman to go out to the Isle of France to ascertain whether or not illegal importations were still carried on there ; and this gen tleman, but not without great trouble and expense, succeeded in bringing several cases of this description to trial. The number of negroes thus proved to have been illegally im ported amounted to from 400 to 500, but he (Lord Glenelg) doubted very much whether, if a similar attempt were now made, it would not be completely baffled. Indeed, he did not believe that it would be possible to arrive at any cer tain conclusion under such circumstances, and this, no doubt, was the reason why the Government had not been able to fol low up the course which his Noble Friend had adopted. Now, he (Lord Glenelg) lamented that such was the case, us he was desirous as any one could be to arrest the evil. To show that he was not indifferent to the- subect, he was ready to admit that even if one single instance could be established it should be visited with the penalties of the law; but while he said this, it was, he must say, a source of consolation to think that the change which had taken place in the law had so far improved the negro's situation as he had now only to work seven hours and a half a day, and was amply provided with both food and raiment. While he said this he wished it to be fully understood that if any cure for the evil could be discovered he should gladly avail himself of it ; but at the same he thought that the representation came too late to enable the application of a remedy, as the rules and orders respecting the compensation to be given to the slave-owners must have reached the colony in January or February last, and were now actually in force. For these reasons he should be reluctant to take any step at present upon the subject ; but, with respect to the question of compensation, he certainly should regret extremely that any person who had taken part in the illegal importation of slaves should also share in the compensation to be given to the bone fide slave-owner. lie feared, however, they were precluded from raising the objec tion by the Slavery Abolition Act ; but if that were not the case all he could now do was to repeat his readiness to con sider any suggestion on the subject which might be thrown out.—( Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM said that it was far from his intention to impute blame to any Government. What he meant to say was, that he was reluctant to see a sum of 600,000/. paid, to persons, many of whom had been guilty of piracy, and he did think that if proper measures were taken, if an enquiry were instituted on the spot, that the compensation which ought to be awarded would be considerably narrowed amount. The Earl of RIPON, having stated th‘i view which he en tertained on the subject, said that t ie result of an inquiry instituted on the part of the Government was likely to be more efficacious than his Nollle Friend seemed to anticipate, as, before the instruction alluded to was sent out, 12,000 ne grocs were liberated, and how many more had since been set free he was of course unable to say. With respect to com pensation he must say that if a slave-owner were proved to hold a negro ix slavery, or even the descendant of one who had been illegally imported, that slave-owner was entitled to no compensation whatever, nor ought he to receive any. VOLUNTEER CORPS FOR THE QUEEN , OF SPAIN. Viscount STRANGFORD wished to take that owortu nity to put a question to the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government, respecting the order in co unc il w hi c h had recently appeared i n th e Gzette, authoriv'ing troops to be raised in this country for the Queen of Sc,ain. What he wished to know from the Noble Lord waF,.whether, having issued such an Order in Colwell, his Mr,:jesty's Government contemplated making any provision for the widows and orphans of the British subjects who might. enter the service of the Queen of Spain, and perish in the conflict carrying on in that country, or whether the burthen of providing for such persons was to be undertaken by the Spanish Government ? In the event of the Noble Lord saying that no provision of the sort was to be made by either Government, then he ( Lora Strang ford) wished to know whether the widows and orphans of the individuals killed, as well as those who might be wounded dace, cities pat aoutit Re ;th of ;erred ad in a t on aiella , fro' Ar- Alo -0 the tz i
