This day was published, in $ volumes, post 3 vo., price Ns., CHARACTERISTICS OF GOETHE, From the German of Falk, Vun Muller, &c. With Notes, Original and Trin,lated, illustrative of Ger- man Literature. By SARAH AUSTIN. " This is one of those works which cannot be received with too ibuch gratitude. To do justice to Mrs. Auatin's admirable pro duction, we must not only note its own merits, its accuracy, its idiomatic character, its industry, and its comprehension, but we must remember what translations usually are " We shall now only offer our warmest congratulations to Mrs. Austin, on the admirable manner in which she has executed her interesting task."—Literary Gazette. Mrs. Austin, whose translation of Prince Puckler Muskau's Tour' obtained well merited applause, has in the work before us, set herself a task worthy of - her talents, and executed it with considerable ability. In these volumes, the English reader can obtain a very satisfactory view of Goethe's character, of his ha bits and pursuits, of his companions and friends, and of the intrinsic nature, infitmce and personal history of German Literature. " We cannot close our notice without again complimenting Mrs. Austin, upon the ability with which she has executed a task of considerable difficulty."—Atlas. "We have here a mine of curious observation. Falk's part is full of interest ; we pass from one bold originality or fine thought to another, and each is a theme for reflection ; it is well for us that Goethe had a friend in whose ear these jewels were trea sured."—Examiner. " We think it due to Mrs. Austin to express our satisfaction at this publication, and we shall satisfy our readers, that there is much in it to reward the perusal, by making some extracts." —Athenmum. This translation, which is throughout remarkable for its spirit and accuracy, is by Mrs. Austin, a lady who has already distinguished herself by the graphic vigour which she threw into her translation of Prince Puckler Muskau's clever but coxcombi cal Travels in England.' Those who desire to become ac quainted with the ' interior'—if we may use such a term—of Goethe's literary thoughts and feelings, will find themselves gratified by a perusal of these volumes. The illustrious author of Faust,' by common consent, one of the master-minds of the age, is here en dishabille.'

PETITION OF THE CALTHORPE JURY To the Honourable the House of Commons in Parliament assembled; the Petition of the undersigned Jurymen upon the Inquest held on the body of Robert Cully, Showeth,—That your petitioners, the undersigned, were summoned to serve, and did serve, as jurymen on a Coro ner's Inquest upon the body of Robert Cully, a police man, slain in an affray that took place on the 13th of May, at Coldbath-fields. That your petitioners did then, acting in discharge of their duty, under the solemn nbli gation of an oath, return a verdict of Justifiable Homicide on the part of some person unknown. That to return some verdict was the solemn duty which the wisdom of the law had imposed on your petitioners. That your petitioners paid all due attention to the evi dence adduced, and upon the evidence they felt themselves bound, as honest and conscientious men, to return the verdict above mentioned ; they exercised a privilege given by the law in the only way that' consciences permitted. That your petitioners have heard with great pain and alarm that thi., their conscientious verdict, has, upon an ex Farte statement of his Mrjesty's Solicitor• General, been quashed by the Court of King's Bench, and that a slur has th,reby been cast upon them in their character of jurymen acting under the solemn obligation of an oath. That your petitioners also fear that this proceeding may have a tendency to bring into discredit the trial by jury, and to make men believe that a trial by the country is a mere idle form, handed down to us by an ignorant ancestry, and retained only from a foolish adherence to old prejudices. _ . - Your petitioners, therefore, pray your Hon. House to take these matters into consideration, and to pursue such measures as in your wisdom may seem requisite to free your petitioners from blame, and to secure to future jury men the privileges conferred on them by law. And your petitioners will, as in duty Loud, eser pray, &e. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fremantle, will be paid off on Wednesday, and recommissioned, it is currently reported, for the South American station, by Captain M. Seymour. The Sparrowhawk, 18, was docked on Wednesday, to undergo a thorough repair, preparatory to her being com• missioned ; and the Fair Rosamond was undoeked on Wednesday, and taken into the basin to receive ,ber masts. The Emerald cutter, at present in dock, will, when equipped, be in attendance o❑ their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, who intend passing the summer months at Cowes. The Ringdove, 16, will he launched at Plymouth on the 18th instant. The Harpy, Revenue cutter, crept up last week near Stoke Head, 75 kegs of brar;tly ; and on Iluesday 37 kegs were crept up by Mr. Foot, of the Cawsand preven tive boat, and lodged in the custom-house at Plymouth. The Sylvia cutter, Lieutenant Sparke, arrived on Mon day from Jersey, and was paid off on Thursday by that officer, her time of service hiving expired. Lieutenant T. Henderson recommissioned her on the following day. The Pyramus, 42 guns, which was' completely rigged and fitted' for a receiving ship at Halifax, is ordered to be fitted for the reception of convicts, 400 of whom, it is said, will he exported to the colonies in fulfilment of the lase regulations. At Spithead—Satellite, Scout, and Snake. In Harbour—Victory, Royal George - , Excellent, Vo lage, Challenger, Clio, Fair Rosamond, and Seaflower and Sylvia cutters. In Han : maze—San Josef, Caledonia, Revenge, Fort., .Nimrod, Alban steamer, Alutine packet, and Diligence navy transport. _ . NAVAL HONOURS. —lt is no slight matter of surprise among naval men that the Rear-Admiral (Sir D. Milne} and his Flag Captain, now Rear-Admiral Brace, should have received no Engli,h hollows for their services in the bombardment of Algiers. Two other officers in that action who commanded frigates, Captains Citetham and Palmer, were also unrewarded because they had happened to have gained their Comtnatulerships of the Bath for former services, and one of them a medal in addition for a frigate action. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. —Commander W. N. Glascock, of the Orestes, to be Captain, but to remain in command of the Orestes until her persent service is ex pired ; Lieutenant the Hon. E. Howard, of the Pelican, to be Commander ; Commander J. B. Maxwell is ap- Rinted to the Gannet, vice Sweny; Lieutenants W. J. Collins and A. G. Rothery, to the Spartiate ; Lieutenant G. S.

W!lyl9cli, of this Division, to the Spartiate, vice Hurdle; Mr. Bellare, to be Second Lieutenant of this Division, vice Fraser, pro - - :noted. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) The Forester, 3, is ordered to be prepared for commis sioning, and will be taken into the dock occupied by the Ringdove, as soon as the cutter is launched, which is ap. pointed to take place on the 18th inst. The Caledonia, 120, Captain Brown, was taken out of dock on Monday, and her place was immediately occupied by the Revenge, 74. The report in the Portsmouth papers, that the former ship was fitting for the Mediter ranean, to receive Sir Pulteney Malcolm's flag, is without fouutlation. The Britannia, Sir Pulteney's favourite ship, has run little more than half her time. His Majesty's ship Forte, 44, is ordered to take charge of the Pyramus, convict and receiving ship, going out from this port to Bermuda, from whence the latter, after discharging her convicts, will proceed to Halifax, to remain as a receiving ship. Remaining in Hatnoaze—San Josef, Candonia, venge, Fut te, Druid, Nimrod, Alutine packet, Alban and Hermes steamers, Diligence naval transport, Royal Escape lighter, Sylvia revenue cutter. jn the Sound—Don.gal, Stag. His Majesty's ships Donegal, 73. Captain A. Fanshawe ; Stag, 42, Captain N. Lockyer ; Druid, 42, Captain Ru. narts, arrived on Thursday from Portsmouth, and the Hermes steamer from Falmouth. The Donegal and Stag are to proceed to Lisbon. The Druid is to be paid off and re-commissioned, for which purpose she came up harbour yesterday., It i., however, reported that the Druid is in such a defective state, that it will he necessary to lay her up. The Woodbridge, ilewson, from Sierra Leone, for orders, arrived here .on Sunday last, in fifty days, from the Coast, and reports most favourably of the sanitary state of the colony. About ten days previous to her de parture, a large slaver, under Spanish colours, with a full cargo, had been detained and sent in by one of his Ma je.ty's cruisers, Captain Hewson states that he believes it was the Brisk, Commander Thompson, but is not quite certain as to the name. The accounts from the country are generally encouraging with respect to the vintage. The vines in Burgundy, in the s, uth of France, and in the environs of Bordeaux, are in excellent condition, and likely to produce an abundance of grapes of superior quality. On the banks of the Cher, as well as near Chalons.sur.Marne, the, vines are rot so protnieing with regard to quantity.— French Paper. SUICIDE.—On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at No. 6, Alfred-place, Bedford-square, 'to in quire touching the death of Mrs. SARAH Row Lawn, about 25 years of age, who destroyed herself under the following circumstances :—The deceased was a married woman, and lodged at the house where the inquest was held. Her husband is a veterinary surgeon, at present in Leicester. On Monday last she received a letter from him, accusing her of infidelity towards him, and express ing his determination never to return to live with her again. The contents of • the letter threw her immediately into a frantic state. The several inmates of the house endeavoured to pacify her mind, when she (assuming to be more calm in . her mind) said she would take one of her powders, for she thought it would do her great benefit. She then coolly walked to a cupboard, and took out a box of oxalic acid, which she used for tb.e removal of iron-mnulds and ink stains, and pouring out a glass, drank it off with as much indifference as taking her breakfast. The effects of the' poison became speedily visible, and she died shortly after. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. in s TITHES.— IHE CARRIGTWOHILL Ar ramr—ConoNna's INQUEST. •••-MIDDLETON,WEDNESDA Y EVENING. —This was the day appointed for the inquest to be held on the body of the soldier named MICHAEL MA.' coinx, who was killed in the Lacey on Monday even ing', at Immageeshr. The jury, .alter hearing evidence, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased, MICHAEL MAGUIRE, came by his death on the 3d in stant, in consequence of a gun-shot, which entered his right side, and passed through his body—which shot was fired - either by the police or the soldiery, in protecting a tithe process server; and the jurors further say, that the homicide was casual, and by misfortune." The Court then adjourned. The country for miles round, hitherto peaceable, is the scene of the liaost fearful excite ment. Masses of 'troops are stationed throughout the district, and the whole appears more like a besieged country, thati anything else which I can compare it to.— Cork Reporter. leaving slavery and freedo.n to 'Cat ultimately in the c donies. Mr. BUXTON did not mean it to supposed that he thought the'Hon. Member intenshd the continuance of a mixed system. But how would the proposition of the Hon. Member work ? Trinidad and Jamaica, for instance, were in some respects dissimilar. Jamaica was on the eve of an insurrection, and the question seemed to be applied to that island, whether emancipation should be carried by law or in the most horrible manner. Would the Hon. Member withdraw all the troops from Jamaica and other islands tn. put them into those which were to be emancipated according to his plan? If he advised this, he (Mr. Buxton) would tell him that though 1,000 soldiers were now competent to the maintainance of peace, it would then take 50 or 100,000 to protect those places which were doomed to wait for emancipa tion, from the indignation and despair of the slaves. The Hon. Member for Lancaster had told the House that he had one, and only one, objection to granting complete eman cipation, viz., that the negroes, when emancipated, would net work. Now the position he meant to establish was, that the negroes, being emancipated, would work on being given a sufficient motive. It was admitted that the slaves would be able anti wiling to maintain themselves. That was sufficient to justify him in saying that they ought to be em incipated, for he never would concede that we had a right to make them do more.—(Bear, hear, heir.) But he would go farther, and show that besides being willing to raise food sufficient for . their own subsistence, the negroes would labour for wages. The on :y reason why they had not yet done so was, that the whites would not pay them wages. It was severally admitted that the labour of free men was better and cheaper than the labour of slaves, and he believed West India pro prietors had further admitted that. if they could convert the slaves into free labourers, they should want no compensa ion, for that they would be benefited as much as the ne groes themselves. But then it was said that the negroes were so incorrigibly idle that they would not work for wages. He should endeavour to show that they would. The first case he would mention was one which bad been alluded to by the Hon. Member for Middlesex, the case in Trinidad. ,He did not mean to say that the whole body of the abolitionists had not done all they could upon the subjact, but no man could be mentioned with greater re spect than Mr. Macaulay.—(Hear, hear.) If there was any man to whom the negroes owed any thing, it was to him ; no one had done more for them. Tl.e Hon. Mem ber for lierex had said that the negroes were in the lowest state, and be had actually come down to the House, pro posing that they should be sold, because they were a nui sance in the island of. Trinidad. These negroes, under the management of Masaes. Wilberforce and Macaulay, cost upwards of 15,0001. more than the value of their labour. What.he complained of was, that the Hon. Member for Middlesex had stopped at the year 1825. In that year they were placed under the management of -a Captain Gibbs, who had tried the experiment with them of task working. What was the effect of that ? Why, that the negroes had done as much in six hours as they had pre viously done in twelve. Another experiment had been tried,.and he wished the Hon. Member to attend to this; that Hon. Member had given a statement with respect to the negroes up to 1825. He had ,given it after that period. The Hon. Member had stated that the experi ment had wholly failed ; he meant to assert the contrary. Mr. Gibbs had tried another experiment. He had said to the negroes, " You now save half the day in conse • quence of task-working. If you choose to work, I will give you wages for the rest of the time. What was the result of that? Why, the negroes showed the greatest anxiety to improve their condition. They had become a moot industrious body, and had since then been liberated by Government. The case he now wished to bring before , the House was the case of a Mr. Taylor. He gave his negroes a piece of remarkably hard work—l quote from his sworn testittiony—he found that there was little hope that he could get c,at work accomplished. He then thought he would offer some inducement, and what he offered was of a very trivial narure. He said to them, " If you will do that work, you shall work for wages afterwards." The result was that next day they were in the field before the dawn of day, and they then accomplished that work which before was impossible. Now if he was fortunate enough to engage the attention of the House, he would contend that that was a fair trial between free and slave labour. There was another case which he would read to the House. It wes from a despatch from Sir Carmichael Smith to Lord Goderich. It stated that 165 slaves, American slaves, had been wrecked, and landed upon the Bahamas. The Council at first feared that so large a body of freed negroes thrown and let loose upon those islands would, from their supposed character, set a bad example to the other slaves on those islands. It was scarcely necessary for him to trouble the House with de tails to show that those fears were not realized, particu larly as the House seemed impatient, and as the point did not seem to merit the Right Hon. Secretary's attention. Mr. STANLEY—I can assure the Hon. Gentleman that I am paying every attention to the point. Mr. BUXTON—In the beginning, the planters said a great deal about what was to be feared from having a body of flee and reckless negroes mixed up with those that were not free. But what was the next account of them? It was given in the following year in the despatch before mentioned, dated lait February, and addressed to Lord Goderich. It acquainted his Lordship that the 165 American freed negroes who had been wrecked the year before were a quiet, industrious, and orde,fly set of people—that not one was taken before a police nhagistrate or committed to gaol, and that all of them gained their own livelihood. Now be maintained that this is what would follow the immediate liberation of the slaves.—(Hear.) There was another case he would mention. It was one founded on the best West India evidence—that the slave, however he might work or not work for his master, was very industrious when he worked for himself. Evidence of the same descrip tion was given 40 years ago, in answer to questions from Government, that the slave, when allowed to work in the afternoon for himself, would do more work in that portion of the day than he would during the whole day, if he laboured for his master. He considered this a point of great importance, and one that should be attended to by Commissiuners sent out to the colonies to inquire into the character of the negro. The slave, on the Saturday morning, when he winked for his master, would be found by him idle; but on the Saturday evening, when he worked for himself, be would be found very different. He would be found extremely industrious, and that he ex tended his labours fir into the night ; for no sooner was the sun gone down, than he would - be found carrying the produce of his toil to ,market, and this, too, after a week of tropical labour. The lead he would carry on his bead to market would be heavier than that which any planter would ask of him to bear. He stated these facts on the authority of Mr. Wildman and Mr. Scott, both West India planters. How far would the House suppose the negro on the Saturday night carried these loads ? Why, ten, twenty, and sometimes thirty miles. This last fast he stated on the authority of Mr. Simpson, a West India planter. Gentlemen might perhaps say the negro laboured thus bard from necessity, and under the compulsion of hunger. They would find it was not so, but that it was purely in order to gratify his artificial wants.—(Hear.) The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to read extracts of West India evidence in support of these latter facts, and to show that the negro worked diligently, and extended his labour far into the night, not to procure himself the necessaries, but in order to obtain the luxuries of life. There was one other point which appeared to give great alarm to the opponents of emancipation—that the negroes could not be made to acquire a taste for luxuries. That he denied. Forty years ago they had a taste for luxuries ; and, from an old resolution of the legislature of Grenada, as well as from the evidence of Mr. Scott, their desire for fine clothes was apparent. Had any of the Members present read the ac• count given of the negro balls?—(A laugh.) He (Mr. Buxton) would mention some of the articles which they . had at those balls as given in the evidence. There were roast pigs, ham, and capons —(A laugh)—rum, and claret, and, of all these articles, us much as they could eat. —(Hear, and a laugh.) The balls lasted till daybreak, and some of the negresses were so fond of a fine display of clothes, that they changed their dress three times in the course of the night. The negresses were patticularly fond of muslin gowns and pearl earrings and, what they consi dered as a great luxury, as being peculiar to civilization, shoes and stockings.—(A latigh:;Y He did not understand how the Right Hon: Secretary could propose to apprentice the young negroes for a limited time. If the continuation of slavery was his object, then he could understated it ; but if not, if, on the contrary, his intention was to abolish slavery, he (Mr. Buxton) would ask what effect such an apprenticeship must have on the minds of the negroes poor rates. Lord SUFFIELD presented petitions from Inverness and five other places, for the total extinction of slavery.- The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the ship builders of Leith and other places in the Firth of Forth, complaining of the unequal operation of the iluees on Bride timber ; and a petition from Dumfries, for the introduction of poor laws into Ireland. The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a Bill for the regulation of county infirmaries in Ireland, which was read a firs! time. _ _ "yhe . ,ORD CHANCELLOR postponed the second reading of the Local - Courts Bill with great regret, in con• sequence of the unavoidable absence of several Noble Lords, who wished to tike part in the debate. The House then adjourned. d t d ) 7/3 ,„,„- V c;Y ' z i L : 77 fka*z)7 I themeeiree?—(Hear, hear.) There being no wage. ; there would be no h o p e o f rewar d, an d no f ear o f punish . • I ment—and he did no t un d ers t an d, th ere f ore , 'h ow th e y could be expected t o w or k. H e (M r . B u xton) f e lt con fident that the result w ou ld b e f oun d t o b e th a t tlira e would be a suspensio n o f l a b our d ur i ng th e t erm o f th e apprenticeship, and a resumption of labour as semi as that f, apprenticeship terminated. These were his viewa on the - subject, and he thought it would be better to reject the third resolution entirely, leaving it to his Majesty's Mi nisters to bring forward such another propositiou as would better suit the emergency of the case. Mr. F. LEWIS alloWed that the Hon. Member for 1 1 1t-yrnouth was high authority upon this point, but he did rot consider him such high authority as to entitle him to assume the high tone in which he had spoken. From the period when Mr. Canning brought forward his tesolutions, he (Mr. Lewis) was satisfied that slavery must be ultimately abolished. Still he would say that it was a great and doubtful experiment. There never was such a thing known as a civilized community comprised of a negro population. It was not known in Africa it self, nor among the civilized inhabitants of ancient Egypt. At the time Mr. Canning's resolutions were agreed to, it was understood that the period of the ultimate emancipa tion of the slaves would depend on the progress to be made in the interim to fit them f or a state of freedom ; and he (Mr Lewis) had, therefore, expected to bear freni the Hon. Member's speech that they were now in a situa tion to enjoy freedom, and contribute - by their labours to supply those articles of produce which were now. ob tt,ined from the colonies. From all that he had heard, he (Mr. Lewis) was firmly convinced that sugar would not be grown by a system of free labour.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed the Hon. Member himself (Mr. Buxton) had not ventured to assert that it would. .All that be had said was, that the negro was in a state to live in comfort and happiness. But the point was, would the slaves or would they not work for hire in the fields ? If they would not, hew conk it he expected that sugar should be cultivated ? —(Hear, hear.) That wars the real point of difference. When they slid that slavery was to be abolished, did a doubt not come over them ..so their power to abolish it. —(Hear.) If it were tm it •I. at ,argar could not be cul tivated by free labour, he feared that, in abolishing slavery in the British colonies, they would only be transferring it t.) other countries in proportion to the additional quantity of sugar which would be required from thetn._(Hear.) As to the question of compensation, it was his (Mr. L.'s) opinion, that if it were true, as stated by the Hon. Mem ber for Weymouth, that as much sugar would be produced by free I hour as by the labour of slaves, indemmfication would, in such a case, he quite unnecessary—(Hear)— hut if, on the contrary, a smaller quantity of sugar were produced, then the proprietor might bs entitled to com pensation. He would ask, however, bow it was to be known whether the proprietor, after receiving compensa tion (which was to be given to him, not altogether to meet his loss, but partly in order to enable him to bring the slave into a condition to receive unconditional freedom), would continue to cultivate the estate? Until that point was cleared up, he (Mr. Lewis) would never consent to give one shilling of compensation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HILL admitted that the question was surrounded with difficulty. He thought that the Hon. Member file Weymouth had shown that the safest course which could he pursui d was to emancipate the slaves immediately, with such guards for their future welfare as the case pointed out. With regard to the plan proposed by the Right Hon. Se cretary for the colonies, it gave the negro, in his (Mr. Hill's) opinion, too much of a freeman to be a slave, and left him too much of a slave to be a freeman.—(f-Issar, hear.) As to calling slaves property, he denied such a proposition altogether; indeed, he would say, ti at were the nation so bankrupt as not to be able to pay a farthing as compensation to the planters, mill would he insist upon immediate emancipation. Mr; MARRYAT said that the planter, who bad been encouraged in the slava traffic by this Government, ought to he compensated for the expense he had been thus led into, and no measure of emancipation could be efficient without liberal compensation. Mr. RIGBY WASON would declare himself decidedly in favour of gradual emancipation. He conceived it pos sible to confine the negroes to the estates, and give them adequate wages and food. How that was to be done was the principal question ; and if that could be done, it would get rid of many objections. There must be, he admitted, some stimulus to labour, after the use of the whip was dune away ; and what could that be but adequate wages?—(Hear, hear.) It could not be expectel that tie negroes should labour without wages; and the point of difficulty was, whether the planters would have the means of paying them—it had been said not; because the planters at present had no profits, and that wages must be in proportion to profits. This he denied. Wages were not regulated by profits in the manufactures of this country, nor in any part of the world. They were re gulated by another principle. The test or rule for wages was, he was sorry to say, in all cases and in all countries, the maintenance of the labourer ; and whit would sup port him determined his money wages. The planter would only have to pay what was necessary to support the negroes. The wages of labour would be regulated after that by the demand ; and the next question to be an swered was, whether the supply of labour was equal to the demand? But it was a fact well knoten to every man that the islands were now cultivated ; and though the. slaves were maintained through the whole year, they did not labour above four months, at least four months' la bour sufficed for the cultivation. Labour then was abundant in the West Indies. If more than what was now in demand were not required, there was in the islands at least double the quantity of labour required. The planters, he must admit, would require assistance to pay their labourers, because money, particularly silver money, was extremely scarce in the islands. Not to give them assistance while they were exposed to all the risk, would be unfair and unjust. The plan he suggested would obviate this difficulty. He would make the negro party to his own emancipation. He would tell him that he should be free at the end of a certain period, if he would apply himself to the cultivation of the estate, for which he should get good and adequate wages, and should after wards be set entirely free. The rate of wages to which they were to be entitled, should be determined by an officer sent from this country, who should have an unli mited control on this subject, and who could have no motives for doing other than justice between the two par ties. He should then be disposed to give the planters an annual assistance, and he believed they would require that. He had not before broached his views on the sub ject, because he had waited for the returns, and he now saw that the Government had proposed such a plan to the West Indians, and the West Indians had decidedly and strongly objected to it. Mr. SLANEY was for emancipation, but emancipa tion, to be successful for the negroes themselves, must not be carried into effect without preparation. If they at tempted to accomplish it without preparation, they would not succeed in the noble object they bad in view. It was proper in considering such a question, to remember what were the motives which operated on the labourers of civi lized countries. They laboured in order to obtain, first the necessaries, then the comforts, and afterwards the luxuries of life. They were stimulated to greater labour than was necessary for the support of life, in order to en joy these luxuries which the habits and customs of the country required. The negroes were not destitute of that spring of ambition which belonged to other peop'e. They were desirous, like other people, of rising in the world. To make them labour, and give thorn a taste for luxuries and comforts, they must be gradually emancipated, and gra dually taught so desire those objects which could be attained by human labour. Tbere was a regular progress from the possession of necessaries to the desire for luxuries ; and .what once were luxuries, gradually cime among all classes and condition of men to be necessaries. This wats the sort of progress the negroes had to go through, and this was the sort of education to which they ought to be sub ject in their period of probation. They must he educated to habits of industry by increasing their wants. Of all other things, however, it was necessary to proceed with caution, because great interests were at stake, and it would be impossible, if they were to proceed rashly, to retrace their steps. If they followed the principle of the plan laid down by the Right Hon. Secretary for time Colonies, he did not say in all its details—but if they followed the principle of that plan, they would proceed cautiously. If it succeeded they might be encouraged' to go further. Moreover, the Colonial Legislatures might then assist in the scheme, and the term of apprenticeship might be shortened from twelve to ten, or eight years. If, however, they were to proceed rashly, and were to fail, they would prevent the trial of any other experiment. He meant, therefore, not without much deliberation, to give his sup port to the plan of the Right Hon. Gentleman. In con clusion, he would say, that when the momentary politics of the day were forgotten—when factious opposition had passed away, the , attempt to abolish slavery would, he believed, stand out in the front of history as a generous exertion worthy of the Legislature of a free and enlightened people. Mr. HALCOMB had great difficulty in giving his support to this resolution. What he would propose was, that they should not immediately put an end to the rela tions between master and slave. He further proposed that the slave should still continue to I tbour on the same plantation till he gave.notice to his master to leave, or , eceived notice from his master to that effect. The period of the notice which he intended to suggest was, two year* HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 10. The SPEAKER took the Chair at five o'clock. Alderimn WOOD moved for certain returns respecting malt. The House was then summoned to attend the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given to certain Bills. The SPEAKER st ited, urn his return, that the Royal assent had been given to several private Bills. Mr. O'CONNELL moved that a copy of the Carrick fergus Disfranchising Bill should be served on the return ing officer. Mr. O'CONNELL put a question to the Solicitor-Ge neral respecting the bringing in of the Bill - for abolishing imprisonment for debt, in certain cases. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL assured the House that it was his intention to move to morrow for leave to bring in the Bill. He would make his statement, and be hoped the House would be found to concur with him ; but he did not mean to press the House in point of time as to when the Bill should be brought in. THE KING'S ANSWER. Lord ALTHORP brought up his Majesty's gracious Answer to the Address that had been voted to him by the House, and which was in these worda " I hee received with great satisfaction the . ex pressien of your concurrence in the policy I have pursued in reference to the affairs of Portugal ; and ru may be assured that I shall continue to act in the same way, and will neglect no opportunity to we , all the influence that is within my power, as soon as possible, usefully and honourably, to put an end to all the differences that now exist in that unhappy country." Upon the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Staf ford Bribery Bill was referred to a Committee of the House. Mr. A. RARING wished to know why, when the Noble Lord (Russell) had brought in a general Bill on the subject of bribery at elections, the Stafford Bill should not be referred to the same Committee up stairs? He saw no reason why it should not await the general legislation of the: House on the - subject ; there could be no possible advantage in having a special proceeding in reference to Stafford. • - Lord J. RITSSELL said, if his Bill had passed last session it would have.embraced the Stafford case ; but he did not know whether his Right Hon. Friend would be willing to refer that case to the Committee, as he was al ready-prepared to -go on with his special inquiry. The Noble Lord took that opportunity of stating, as he un derstood some expressioos of his had given off..-nee the other night, that - he meant in no way to cast any imputa tion on Sir J. Campbell. Lord OXIIIANTOWN postponed-his motion relative to the Dublin and Kingstown Railway Bill, till Wednesday next. Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the House resolving into a.Committee of the whole House on' the Colonial. Slavery Resolutions. Mr. COBBETT put questions to the Noble Lord, rela tive to the number of the branch banks ; and whether it was intended to limit them in their issues? also whether there would be any proviso enabling the depositors in savings bank to be paid on demand in gold? Lajd ALTHORP said there would be great difficulty in specifying at present the number of branch banks. As to the savings' banks' provision, it was altogether a matter of detail with which the House should deal as it might think expedient. For his part, he certainly had not intended, the amounts being very small, to introduce any such provision. Mr. C. FERGUSSON inquired whether bank-notes were to be received as legal tender in payment of country notes only, or also of debts generally ? Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that they would constitute a legal tender for both purposes. Mr.C. FERGUSSON then declared he should strenu ouq oppose that part of the Noble Lord's proposition. Colonel PERCEVAL wished to know whether the Hon. Member for the county of Cork intended to persevere in hi s in m ion for a typeol of the Legislative Union ? Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he had given notice of his motio❑ for the 26th inst., and he certainly intended to persevere with it. The CHAIRMAN having read the third resolution, Mr. BUXTON said no person felt more sincerely the obligations which the cauge owed to his Majesty's Government; they had stated their opinions and ad- advanced their arguments, and they had placed the cause in an entirely new situation ; they had, in fact, done more towards the advancement of the cause than all former Governments had. He wished to take this opportunity of addressing the House on certain points of great importance connected with the subject. He could assure the House that no g,ntlemin could 11 , • ye a greater knowledge of the im portance of this quesion than him , elf. One Hon. Alvmber had stated that it the measures passed, in less than twelve months the abolitionists would be held up to execration, and another threatened us with rebellion, and the loss of the colonies. No man would dread such consequences more than himself, but the welfare of millions of human beings was at st,ke, and sure he was that if they did not pass such a measure as would abolish slavery, there might be great danger of a rebellion. On the other hand, the Hon. Member for Essex had told them what they had to expect from the measure—viz., a preventive of insur rection. As to the probability of losing the colo nies, they would not be lost if the measures now in progress were carried through the Legislature.—( Hear.) It had been said that several plans had been developed in that House; but all he could say was, that he had dis covered no plan that went directly to the question, and he distrusted all plans, all discussions and theories, but the simple common operations of nature. On the subject of wages, it was his intention to enter into some length— indeed it was the only one to which he should confine • himself; especially as his name anti his calculations had been frequently mentioned in connexion with that part of the subject. The Hon. Member for Middlesex had come down to the House with his case, and what was that ? Why, that the question only affected the existence of 800,000 slaves, and that the flagging of soldiers was a master much more worthy of the consideration of the Legislature. He had, however, greatly exaggerated the amount of punishments in • the army, even beyond his usual exaggerations, for he had said that there were 458,000 lashes inflicted in a year. Mr. HUME—I spoke from official returns. Mr. BUXTON said, that as tile Hon. Member had declared that h e s p o k e f rom official returns, he must, of course, give u p any argument founded upon a contrary assumption. Th e H on . M em b er f o r Essex he would next mention ; that Hon. Member had advised the House to have a sprinkling of freedom and slavery through the colonies. Mr. BARING begged to deny that be had proposed anything like a sprinkling of slavery and freedom in the colonies. What he had advised was to try the effects of emancipation in one of the colonies first, and then, if found practical, to extend it further. He never had aoy idea of
