SUGAR.--There was a general improvement in the de mand and in the prices of Nluscovadea last week ; very few brown Sugars were offered under 50s. The estimated sales of last week were nearly 2,000 hhds. and tre. The stock of West India Sugar is now 22,130 hhds. and trs., which is 5,043 more than last year. The stock of Mau ritius is 130,897 bags, being 58,862 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 3,483 bhds. and trs., being 564 more than la't year. The delivery of Mauritius 11,570 bags, being 252 more than the corresponding week of 1832. The Sugar market continues very firm ; the estimated purchases this day were 1,200 bhds, and trs., including the Barbadoes and Trinidad at public sales ; the prices are again a shade higher. In the Re fined market the demand continued confined to parcels for the home consumption, which went off a shade higher; the sales of goods at 655. a 70s. were rather on an exten sive scale; they were taken by the grocers and melters. There is no inquiry for export goods. This afternoon the market is dull and rather lower. The refiners are pressing the Government to allow foreign Suiars to be refined in this country for export. The measure must ultimately be resorted to. Matuarmrs SUGAR.—Mauritius Sugars rose 6d. to ls. per cwt. last week ; the sale of Friday, nearly 5,000 bags, went off particularly brisk ; a large proportion was taken on speculation ; d imp, 465. a 48e. ; brown good, 495. a 51s. ; yellow, 525. a 565. ; white, 58s. a 59 , . This day's public sale 5,943 bags Mauritius Sugar went off with much briskness at full market prices ; good brown, 50s. 6d. a 525. EAST INDIA SUGAR. — At public sale on Friday, 1,412 bags ; good yellow, 225. a 225. 6d., mostly sold at and after the sale. FOREIGN SUGAR.—By private contract last week 800 boxes good white H tvannah sold at 325. ; good yellow sells readily 235. a 259. 6d. Average price of Sugar, 91. per cwt. COFFEE.— fhe Coffee market Was dull last week, but there was little alteration in the prices ; a rumour was cir culated that an additional duty of Id. per lb. would be imposed on British plantation descriptions, to assist in paying the West India spoliations; the report had no effect on the prices ; good ordinary Jamaica sold 84s. a 86s. ; fine ord., 88c. a 90s. Foreign and East India ware equally heavy. Brazil, ord. to good ord. sold 50s. a 545. ; Havaanah, pale ord. to good ord. 555. 6d. a 575. ; Su matra, 48s. a 545. A cargo of St. Domingo reported at 555. 6d. a .565. There were no public or private sales of Coffee this day. CocoA.—There are sales reported of good red Grenada Cocoa 555. 6d. a 58s. ; very ord. Brazil sob! at 17s. RUM, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—The Rum' market continues firm ; there are few sellers; the inquiries are continued, but the price now demanded prevents business to any extent. Brandy without any material alteration. Geneva is still neglected. TALLOW.-There is little alteration in Tallow. OiLs.—Common Oils generally are a shade dearer. Seal and Cod bave advanced 21. per tun, 28/. paid for Seal of first quality, and 301. asked by the principal hol ders, and for the new Oil to arrive 28/. has been paid ; it is reported that the catch of Seals will not be more than two-thirds of last year. Rape Oil, owing to the report of the fly having injured the Rape plant, together with the dry weather, has advanced U. to 2/. per tun ; exten sive sales have been made for present and future deliveries. Linseed Oil scarce, and firm in price, though no advance on last week's quotations. COTTON.—The Cotton market continues improving, both in the demand and in the prices ; the sales by pri vate contract and public sales last week were nearly 7,000 bags. An improvem,nt of /id. a -Id. per lb. took place at the public sale of Surats on Friday. Hors.—The plant continues healthy and vigorous; the rapidity of its growth is wonderful, six and seven inches in one day. SALTPETRE.—SAItpetre was heavy last week and lower till Saturday, when extensive speculators appeared ; the whole of the quantity off-ring in the Market has since been taken off, and no parcels now offer; rough is 375. a 32,::; E. I. relined, 41s. SPICES.-There have been extensive sales of Spices, particularly in Pepper and Pimento ; the former is a -Id. higher, the latter id. per It, higher. INDIGO.—The sale declared for 9th proximo, it is ex pected, will be 6,000 chests Indigo. The holders now ask Is. advance on the last India House sale; 6d. and 91. per lb. has been freely paid.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a peti- tion from Coterbnry, praying for the reduction of the hours of labour in factories. Lord WYNFORD presented a petition from Gravesend against the Gravesend Pier Bill. Also a petition from John Beamish, late a clerk in the Navy Pay•office, complaining of being dismissed from his situation. The Earl of RIPON said, that in consequence of an Act of Parliament passed last year, several persons were discharged in order to give effect to the object of it, viz., a saving in the public money. This gentleman, it had been supposed, was one of the persons who could be super annuated with the least prejudice to the public service. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from James White Trevor, for the total and immediate abolition of slavery. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he understood that Government had now come to an arrangement with the East India Company; he therefore wished to know i❑ what manner it was intended to proceed with it in that Howe—in what way it was to be communicated to their Lordships. Earl GREY said it was intended to proceed in the usual manner : resolutions would be introduced into th other House, upon which a Bill would he founded. Those re-olutions would be communicated to that House, or a statement would be made upon the first reading 01 the Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH put the same question upon the West India question. Earl GREY said the same course would be pursued with regard to that question. The order of the day for the second reading of the Local Jurisdiction Bill was then read. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had had some com munication with some of his Noble Friends, who intended to take part in the discussion on that Bill, and it was arranged that no opposition should he given to the Bill in this stage, the discussion to be t iken on a future stage. He would, therefore, move that it be now read a second time. Lord LYNDHURST said he did not rise to oppose the second reading of the Bill, though he had a strong opinion on its principle; but as there was an understanding to that effect, its principle should be discussed on going into Committee. _ _ The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committer) on Monday. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Je.va 11. The SYN.:AYER took the chair a few minutes after five o'clock. Mr. ELLICE moved the order of the day for balloting for the Committee on the Stafford Bribery Bill. The ballot was then proceeded with in open House, when the following Members were appointed :—Sir T. Fre.. mantle, Mr. Divett, Sir F. Vincent, Mr. Barnard, Mr. L. Oliphant, Colonel Chichester, Mr. G. Finch, Mr. W. Bolling, Mr. R. Fryer, Mr. J. Holcomb, Mr. W. Brigstock, Mr. W. Tooke, Mr. S. Barry, Mr. R. Macleod, Mr. T. Gadstone, Mr. T. Green, Mr. B. Lester, Mr. C. Mirjoribanks, Mr. C. Buller, Col. Lowther, and Mr. D. Ronayne. The Committee then retired, for the purpose of purg- ing the list. - Lord OXMANTOWN rose to call the attention of the House to the petition respecting the Dublin and Kings town Railway Bill, for the purpose of having it re ferred to a Select Committee up stairs. It was for tunate for him in bringing forward this subject to be under no necessity of touching on debateable ground. He was certain that there were facts admitted on all hands which would be quite sufficient to induce the House to accede to his motion for inquiry on this subject. The facts were simply these:—ln 1831 an Act was passed for the construction of a railway between Dublin and Kings town. That work was now in progress, and 75,0001. public money had been advanced on it. It would be completed whether this motion was agreed to or not; but the simple question was whether it should be completed under advantageous or very disadvantageous circumstances. The parties had felt it necessary to apply to the House to make changes in the line of railway laid down in 1831, in consequence of the change of circumstances that had taken place, and the question for the consideration of the House was whether those circumstances would induce it to make any alteration in the Bill. The circumstances to which he referred were, first, that in 1831 two of the prin cipal proprietors departed, but since that period they had changed their minds. In consequence of that, the line of railway, which was circuitous before, would be altered, considerably shortened, and a saving of several thousands effected. After going at some length into the course the railway, as proposed, would take, the Noble Lord con cluded by moving that the petition should be referred to a Select Committee of Appeal. Mr. O'CONNELL rose to oppose the motion. This charter was one of the greatest bubbles ever promulgated even in Ireland ; a greater bubble than any of the canals, or even that of Sr. Patrick's Insurance Company, which had ruined so many people. lle said this as Chairman of the Committee which had sat upon the Bill. That Committee had reported that the preamble of the Bill was not proved, although the agent for the Bill had had the audacity to tell the Noble Lord that it bad been proved. What the Noble Lord ought to have done, was to have shown that the preamble had been proved, but he had not, because he could nut do so.—( Hear, hear, hear.) This Company was formed, in 1830, as a public Company, with the intention of getting the public money ; and it was curious that in only eight days after the passing of the Act in 1831, they had obtained an order from the Commissioners for 75,0001. It was noto rious, also, that out of forty members of which the Com pany originally consisted, eight were stock-brokers or notaries public. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then detailed the various particulars of the preambla, and asserted that none of them had been proved. The surveyor employed on the part of the Bill was averse to having it known to the Committee what his charges would be. He called this a professional secret.—(Hear, hear.) He was not, it appeared, sent over on.account of the first Bill—he was not imported there until after that; but one of his first charges on this job was 7 8001. He would say, " Heaven aid the poor subscribers." The House should remember, too, that it was exceedingly ex- pensive and difficult for individuals to contend against joint stock companies such as this ; and the party who was chiefly interested in opposing this Bill, had been detained in town a long time at a considerable expense. Talk of solicitation, be would say he had never been so much solicited in his life—(He .r, hear)—and it was a most annoying thing for Membeis to I.e so much pressed in cases wherein they were acting as jurors. If they were sworn, it would be then penal for them to be so pressed. The petitioners, before the Com mittee, had given up, point by point, until they struck at the shortest possible limit, in order that there might be a Bill, and that they might have to charge for costs against the Company at large. He com plained that the promoters of the Bill had published a garbled statement of the evidence here; they had sup pressed four letters which formed part of the correspon dence, two of which were of the utmost importance. The Members of the Committee knew the situation of the place well, and could not be imposed upon. For himself be would declare that it was one of the grossest bubbles that had ever been brought into that 11. use. The second declaration of the petitioners was a recital that the money had been subscribed. But there was no particle of evidence in proof of that allegation, and the Committee bad determined that the scheme was not likely to he beneficial to the public, nor likely to afford permanent employment on the line of road. Indeed, unless the House felt disposed to promote the jobbing schemes in Ireland, he could not see how it could encourage the further progress of this mat ter, and satisfied with having done his duty roughly, he should now leave the House to deal with it as was thought fit. Mr. W. ROCHE concurred in what hail fallen from the Hon. and Learned Member, and thought there was no ground for a Committee of Appeal. Mr. J. TALBOT thought that the undertaking would be of the greatest possible benefit. He believed that all the most material parts of the preamble of the Bill had been proved, though he was willing to admit that it was not clearly proved that the required portion of the shares had been subscribed for. One of the greatest evils that afflicted Ireland was the want of capital Jtqd the consequent employment of labour, and as there bad been, in his opinion, *prima facie case wade out in VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, Comprising the Manor of Afton, Mansion-house, and 578 Acres of Land, in the parish of Freshwater, in the Isli. of Wight. TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, :By order of the Trustees and Executors of the late Roaert Hicks, E,q., deceased), _ _ THE MANOR, or reputed MANOR of AFTON, with its rights, members, and appur tenances.

THE QUEEN'S PLATE COMMITTEE. A meeting of this Committee took place yesterday at the House of Mr. Alderman Wood, Great George-street, Westminster, for the purpose of coming to a definitive arrangement as to the appropriation of the Subscription Money, which has remained in the hands of Messrs. Coutts and Co. upwards of eleven years. Some gentlemen of the London University attended, it having been pre viously proposed that the money should be applied in aid of the building aed endowing of an Hospital, to be called " The New North London Hospital," and should form a wing of the London University ; and to consist of three wards, calculated to accommodate sixty patients in a suit able manner, and to be called " Caroline Wards." The public are aware that this money was raised by subscrip tion, for the purpose of presenting the late Queen Caro line with a splendid service of plate, but her M,jesty having died before the subscription list was completed, the Committee determined upon applying the amount to the erection of a monument to her memory. It appears that, from the death of her Majesty up to the present mo ment, a piece of ground in an eligible spot could not he purchased for the purpose, and the Committee, not being able to apply the subscription to the original object, after many meetings, have resolved to put it to the above pur pose. Previous to the death of Queen Caroline, the Commit tee gave an order to Messrs. Green, Ward, and Green, of Ludgate-hill, silversmiths, to furnish the service of plate, but in consequence of her Majesty's demise, it was coun termanded, and to obtain the consent of Messrs. Ward, Green, and Co., the Committee were obliged to pay them 3001. as a compensation for foregoing the same, the order being in part executed. After deducting the 3001. above mentioned, there remain about 1,5501. in Exchequer Bills, in the hands of Messrs. Coutts and Co. The Committee, which was numerous eleven years ago, is now dwindled away, 1;y the hand of death, to the number of about five members, consisting of Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. West, and two other gentlemen. We are requested to state that the new and cheaper edition, in 2 vols. post Svo., price 215., of the " Wild Sports of the West," by the author of " Stories of Waterloo," will be published on Thursday next, by Mr, BENTLEY, New Burlington-street, successor to HENRY COLBURN, and may be had of all re-pectable booksellers throughout the United Kingdom.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday an in quest was held at the King's Arms, Orchard-street, West minster, on the body of WILLIAM WICKS, aged 33, a journeyman cabinet-maker, living in Wells -street, Oxford street. About a week ago, the deceased applied to Mr. BINGE, a cbymist, in York-street, for some prussic acid, to kill a vicious dog. Mr. BINGE would not give him any till he brought some one to vouch for the truth of his story; and a woman named AncusTlN, having done se, Mr. BINGE supplied him with the poison. On Monday he called again, and said the poison had not killed the doe, although it had made him very ill. He then de scribed the effects it had on the doir, and Mr. BINGE was induced to supply him with a further quantity. The same evening he went to his father's house, and having taken the phial out of his pocket, said " Now, I will do it effec tually." He then swallowed the poison, and in less than five minutes was a corpse. His wife died three weeks ago, which is supposed to have preyed on his mind. The jury returned a verdict of insanity ; and severely c:3- stared the conduct of the wftnata AUGUiTIN. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BUNHILL-ROW.-- Yesterday, about three o'clock, an alarming and destruc tive fire broke out in the back premises of Mr. REDDALL, an extensive builder, 57, Bunhill-row. In a short space of time the flames communicated to the extensive distillery of Mr. JAMES Hoop, situated in the rear of Mr. RED DALL'S premises. The conflagration now assumed a most awful appearance ; the whole of these premises becoming one mass of flames, which baffled every attempt to extin guish them, owing to the quantity of spirits and other combustible matter which had become ignited. The fire next spread to the houses in Banbill-row, and Nos. 56 and 58 were soon in a bl,ze, anti a scene of the most in.. describable confusion ensued among the terrified inmates, who endeavoured to save their property by throwing it out of the windows, and much valuable furniture was thus broken to fragments. A female narrowly escaped being killed by a bedstead thrown from one of the attics. At this period of the fire several engines arrived, but their attempts to extinguish the flames were rendered abortive, from the inadequate supply of water. The raging element now communicated from the distillery to the houses adja cent in Featherstone-street, five of which were nearly consumed before the fire could be got under. No lives have been lost, but the property destroyed is of great value. The whole of Mr. REDDALL'S premises, as well as the distillery above mentioned, are totally consumed. Some of the houses are insured in the Sun Fire Office. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY. , -..A species of swindiimt, of a very novel and ingenious description, was last week put in practice at Waltham, Broomfield, and some of the neighbouring villages. Two fellows, respectably dressed, who said they were sent down from London, with a special authority to inspect the baker's weights, and search for ingredients for adulterating bread, proceeded to fulfil their pretended mission in the parishes ahove named. Being duly provided with the Act of Par liament, some blank warrants, and all the paraphernalia of inspectors, they easily contrived to pass for men sof authority amongst the v►llagers ; indeed, by their specious pretences, they so far imposeA upon J. J. Tufnell, E•q., as to obtain a warrant from him to search the bakers' premises, and upon executing it they discovered a quantity of alum, and other ingredients for adulterating bread, as well as several loaves which were deficient in weight. Formal informations were immediately hid before Mr. Tufnell, and that magistrate, not for a moment suspecting the real character of the informers, convicted the bakers in penalties amounting to a considerable sum. The per sons convicted, not having the money at the time, were directed to pay it to the magistrate's clerk at Chelmsford. The fellows being thus disappointed in obtaining half the penalties—their intended booty—and well knowing their " brief authority" would not bear a rigid inspection, suc ceeded in compromising the affair with the bakers for part of the money—from one, it is said, they got as much as 161.—and immediately decamped.—Fasex Herald.

Colonel CONOLLY was of opinion that the grounds of objection taken to the Bill were not good. If the road was completed up to the harbour it must ultimately prove a great source of benefit to Dublin, particularly as re garded coal, the consumption of which was greatly on the increase, in consequence of the increasing use of steam- engines. Mr. W. WYNN said the House was not now called upon to decide on the merits of the Bill. The only ques tion for them was, whether or not the Committee had done their duty. Unless stronger grounds were produced to show that such was the case he would oppose the motion. Mr. SHAW said if he bad been present when the Bill was before the House he should have voted for the Bill, and against the Committee. He was, however, always un willing to withdraw matters of this kind from the ordi nary tribunals. He would express no opinion as to whe ther the Committee did or did not do their duty. It was said there bad been canvassing in the Committee in oppo sition to the Bill. It might be so, bat be believed there was as much canvassing for as against it. He did no. mean to cmsure such a proceeding. It was quite natural that those who were interested in a question should request of Members to give their time and attention to it. Mr. FITZSIMON said he had paid great attention to the whole evidence, and it was his conscientious belief that this work, if completed, would not be productive of public benefit. If any person could he benefited by it more than another, it was himself, because it would bring his property seven miles nearer to the city of Dublin. Mr. HALCOMB said a few words, which were ren dered inaudible by cries of " Question." Lord OXMANTOWN said if the House was to decide on the merits of the Bill he would be disposed to offer some observations on what fell from the Member fcr Dublin ; otherwise it would be useless to take up the time of the House. He should like to have the opinion of the chair upon the point. The SPEAKER supposed the Noble Lord did not mein that he was to pronounce an opinion on the merits of the Bill. He understood the Noble Lord as only desiring to know from him what was the origin and object of these Committees of Appeal. The object was not to try over again the merits of Bills, but to hear and decide on the complaints of parties, and, if there was a prima facie ground of ccmplaint against the decision of a Committee, to etl rtain such complaint. The motion was withdrawn. SOUTH STAFFORD ELECTION. On the motion of Mr. W. WYNN the Under Sheriff of the county of Stafford was ordered to attend the House on Friday, he not having as yet sent in any return to the writ for the election of a Member for South Stafford. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. H. L. BULWER was about proceeding with his motion relative to Lord Durham's special mission to Russia, so far as it might relate to Germany and Poland, when Lord ALTHORP hoped the Hon. Member would con sent to postpone his motion in consideration of the present state of the public business. He trusted that the other Hon. Members also who bad motions would permit the orders to take precedence cf them. He had a motion him self for that night which he should postpone. There was public business now before them of the greatest import ance, and it was hardly possible to expect that the session would not he protracted to a late period, to the inconve nience of Members themselves and to the injury of the public business, if those gentlemen who bad !notions to bring forward did not consent to give precedence to public business. He felt a difficulty in suggesting any course, and was rather disposed to leave it to the feelings of Hon. Members themselves. It was impossible that any subject which might now for the first time be brought forward could be determined in the present session. The only consequence would be the loss of a day in opening any question. It was suggested that Wednesday might be made an order day, and that the number of order days might be even still further increased; but to this he bad strong constitutional objections. He should at present content himself with merely throwing out a suggestion to Hon. Members whether it would not be desirable to give precedence to orders on more days than at present was the practice. Mr. I3ULWER expressed his readiness to concur in the suggestion, and hoped others would follow the example. The Hon. Member postponed his motion without naming any day. The following motions which stood for this day were then postponed : On post communication with Ireland, by Sir R. BULKELEY. - Fora repeal of the 41st of George 111., so far as it pre vents persons in holy orders not bolding benefices with cure of souls from sitting in Parliament.—Postponed to next session by Mr. PRIME. Bill for abolishing imprisonment for debt. Al9tton relitive ► o the island of Formosa.—Postponed by Mr. C. MARJORIBANKS. 11r. GORDON said, as the subject of the East India Company's Charter was to be brought on next Thursday by his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Control, he hoped his Hon. Friend (Mr. C. Fergusson) would consent to postpone his motion relative to Poland, which stood for Thursday. Mr. C. FERGUSSON consented to postpone his mo tion to the 9th of July. SCOTCH LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. R. WALLACE, pursuant to notice, moved for leave to bring in two Bills for the amendment and better regulation of the Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland, and for shortening the delays and lessening the expenses of the Courts of Session in SeotlAnd, and for altering and im proving the jurisdiction generally of such Courts, and fa cilitating the process of making appeals to the House of Peers. z ? 0 hat House should think fii:" The LORD ADVOCATE did not think it necessary to make any observations on those Bills at present, as he understood it was the intention of his Hon. Friend only to have them printed and laid on the table for this session. Mr. C. FERGUSSON concurred in the propriety of some measures such as those now introduced, as many of the Courts in Scotland stood in need of very considerable reform. Mr. JERVIS (as we understood) objected to the ex pense of having Bills brought in merely for the sake of having them printed. Mr. IIUAIE thought it was the only safe way of effect. ing reforms of the law, and with the least expense to the country. Leave was then granted to bring in the Bills. PRECEDENCE OF ORDERS OF THE DAY. Mr. EWART, pursuant to notice, moved that it be a resolution of the House that for the present session orders of the day should take precedence of notices of motion on Wednesdays. The Hon. Member urged the adoption of this rule as the only means of getting satisfl-Acrily through the great mass of public business which stood upon the order book for the present session. Mr. C. BULLER seconded the motion. Mr. WASON felt disposed to move as an amendment upon the motion, that not only upon Wednesdays, but upon one other day in the week, should orders of the day take precedence of motions.—(General cries of " No.") Mr. HU3IE agreed with the Hon. Mover that the mass of public business, with such questions as the Irish Church Bill, the English Tithe Bill, the West India question, and others on the orders of the day, demanded that some pre cedence should be given of the kind proposed. Ministers had hitherto been in the habit of taking Wednesday as an idle day.--(" No, no," from the Treasury benches.) He certainly had observed that they were more slack in their attendance upon that day, and be hoped that henceforth it would be made as much a day of business as any other day. Lord ALTHORP did nut object to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Ewart). He admitted that Minis ters had been more frequently absent upon Wednesday than upon other days ; but in a much less degree this session than iu former ones. Although Ministers met in that House, it was necessary that they should meet together elsewliere.—(A laugh.) It was extremely inconvenient and difficult to do so when that House was sitting, and therefore Wednesdays had been generally reserved for that purpose, as the House did not always sit late upon that day. He agreed with the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Wason), that they ought to have still more days on which orders of the day should have precedence ; but he thought it would be much bet•er to leave it to the feelings of the Hon. Gentlemen who might have notices of motion to give way rather than to make it a peremptory rule. Mr. C. FERGUSSON had frequently given way to tb• request of Ciovernmeot, and thought it br,tttr to leave as a matter of agreement than to make It a peremptory rule of the Home. Mr. C. W. WYNN also thought it better to leave it to the general feeling of the House.—(Hear, hear.) Ibe power always existed of pusiug to the order of the day by a vote of the House, where a Member unreasonably persisted in bringing forward a motion of no importance when matters of grave consideration stood upon the orders of the day. The question was then put, and carried in the affir mative. AMENDMENT OF THE REFORM ACT. Sir F. VINCENT, pursuant to notice, rose to move a resolution respecting the registering the voters under the Reform Act. It was provided by the sixtieth clause of the Act that the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the merits of any petition against any return for any county, city, or borough should have power to alter the poll, and correct the register of votes by adding or striking off t herefrom such persons as should appear not to he entitled, or the contrary. The clause went on to direct that " the Select Committee should report their determinition there upon to the House, and the House should thereupon carry such determination into effect, and the return should be amended, or the election declared void, as the case might be, and the register corrected accordingly, or such other order should be made as to the House should seem proper." The Hon. Baronet observed that there was no specific pro vision whereby the correction of the register prescribed was insured. He therefore proposed that it should lie a resolution of the House that, in all cases where such Select Committee should alter the poll, the Speaker should trans mit the corrections to the clerk of the peace, town clerk, or other officer. Lord ALTHORP saw no objection to the resolution. It was certainly desirable that the register should be cor rected so as to correspond with the alterations made by any Select Committee appointed to try the merits of any elec tion ; and such was the object of the framers of this Bill. The resolution was then ageeed to. BENCHERS OF THE INNS OF COURT. Sir F. VINCENT 2, ave i•otiee that on Wednesday. June 26, he Bilotti(' move I.r Ti, upp;ntment of a Select Com mittee to inquire into tie c,nduct of the Benchers of the Inns of Court upon the application of persons to be called to the Bar. COLONIAL SLAVERY. The House then resolved itself into Committee upon the resolutions respecting colonial slavery. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Bernal) read the fourth reso lution, " That towards conspen•ation to the planters his Majesty be enabled to apply a sum not exceeding twenty millions sterling, to be appropriated in such manner as Mr. ROBINSON expressed his grat;6catiott at the question of emancipation from slavery having arrived at that stage at which it was no longer possible to prevent its consummation. The only part of the question remain ing to be settled was that which referred to compensation. He thought that if the people of England claimed the honour of the abolition of slavery, not only in their own colonies, but as a consequence of the example, all over the world, the people would be ready to pay for it. He wished, however, to know upon whom was to fall the weight of the proposed donation of twenty millions. If upon the shoulders of the people of this country, he was afraid that the additional pressure of taxation consequent upon it would not be very popular. The great difficulty of the Noble Lord's Administration this session had been in his inability to reduce taxation. For his own part be was willing to contribute his share, and he lived his constituents would be equally well disposed ; hut for the great body of the people at large he could net so well answer. He was of opinion that fifteen millions might be enough, and he also thought the whole of the sum should not be raised by an increased tax upon sugar, which was already sufficiently taxed. From not knowing bow the people of England felt upon this subject of com pensation, be found himself much embarrassed as to the vote he ought to give. He should, however, concur in the proposed compensation, if be found the majority of the House of opinion that it was right. Lord ALTHORP wished it to be distinctly understood that if the House agreed to the present resolution, they must find the means of making the compensation pro posed.--(Hear, and a laugh.) He felt himself bound to state this from the manner in which the Hon. Member who bad just sat down had expressed himself on the sub ject of compensation. That Hon. Gentleman said he did not know the feeling of the people of England upon this subject. He (Lord Althorp) thought that their petitions proved they were ready to make any reasonable sacrifice for the purpose of obtaining the emancipation of the slaves. --(Hear, hear.) He wished it to be distinctly iiiderstood that, if the money were granted, it would only be paid after the condition for which it would be granted had been performed ; not on the performance, but after its com pletion._-( Hear, hear.) Mr. C. BULLER, though u desirous as any man for universal liberty, could not but consider that this was a question intimately interestiog the people, and it was the duty of every honest representative to take care that not one farthing of additional burden should be laid upon them—oppressed, heavily oppressed, as the people were already. It was most incumbent upon every honest re presentative to act strictly up to this principle now, when so little thought for the people seemed to be evinced by certain parties in the House. As to colonists, indeed, be did not see why they might not ask twenty millions as well as fifteen, or a hundred millions as twenty, for, from every appearance, they would find no difficulty in having their demands complied with by his Majesty's reformed and most economical Ministers: indeed, so liberal seemed the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the people's money, that he dared to say the colonists would nut have long to wait for their money, for the Chancellor of the Exchequer has only to double the house and window duty and the malt tax, and they would be paid, principal and interest, in less than three years. He meant no offence to his Majesty's Government.—( A laugh.) He had been considerably surprised by the arguments of more than one Member on either side of the question, bat above all, he bad been astounded at a speech made by the Hon. Member for Middlesex the other night—it was a mast unhappy thing for the flock to be thus deserted by the shepherd's dog—(Shouts of laughter)—be meant no offence by the expression. He certainly had been petrified to hear the Hon. Member talk of 20 !hilltops as a mere trifle, which the people would grant without the least dif ficulty—who had so often stickled for the saving of 201. to the people. He approved of gradual emancipation, but partial compensation only ought to accompany gradual emancipation. Now he objected to the Right Hon. Gen tleman's proposal, that it gave full compensation, while the emancipation was only to be gradual. He thought that a less sum than that proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman might satisfy the planters.—(The Hon. Mem. her here entered into a variety of details as to the value of slaves in the new and old colonies, to show that the compensation proposed was too much.) He shoeld wish to propose, as an amendment to the plan of the Right lion. Secretary, that a more simple and pure adoption should take place of the Spanish system, and that the slaves should work out their own freedom, and pay for it by instalments. He knew indeed that his plan would not meet the views of the Hon. Member for Weymouth ; hut it had so many advantages that he could not avoid calling the attention of the House to it. if that plan were fol lowed according to his calculation., the planters would be fully compensated by four or five millions instead of fifteen. It might certainly he objected to this, as to every plan of gradual emancipation, that it was to a certain extent a continuation of slavery—but that objection applied to every species of gradual amelioration. Unless a Govern ment were reformed by a bloody revolution, the improve ment must be gredual, and every gradual improvement, whether in governmtnt or slavery, necessarily implied a retention for a time of many abuses. He congratulated the House that at length the fiat had gone foe th for the abolition of slavery, and that it was to proceed from them selves, and that it was immediately to be begun. Ile did not contemplate the probable results with the same eyes as other Hon. Members. He did not believe that it was possible to make the black and the white population har monize together ; and he looked forward, without appre hension, to the establishment in the West Indies of a dozen St. Domingos. The negroes would not work so much—they might not work for a master, but he believed that they would be well fed and happy. Mr. PRYME agreed in the principles of the Right Hon. Secretary's plan, but not in all the details ; and he regretted that those details le;.1 been so much entered into, because that was calculated to promote delay. He coml. dered that the Right Hon. Secretary's rate of compensa tion was too high. He had entered into a considerable number of calculations, and he believed that 17 instead of 20 millions would be a full compensation to the planters, at the greatest value of their property. He bad examined with great care the tables of the imports and exports of the colonies for periods of five years, and he could say, that from 1761 down to 1807, there had been a graduai increase in the importation of negroes, with the single ex ception of the four years of the American war. The result of that was that there was a continual over • importation of slaves till the slave trade was estin guished. To that he attributed part of the distress of the p►anters. With respect to the question of property in slaves, which had been mooted, he denied that any laws or proclamations warranted the assertion wad: hy the planter that this country lass recognised the present right of Property in tho alarea, He bad exatnintd tat V/,?
