The. proprietor seeks bark his purchase money; the abolitionist say., W , 116 out the stain of sl,ivery from the nation's character, and he (Mr. Bliss)would respond, Do so ; but not with th e bl oo d o f the whites.— (Loud cheers.) The object of the meeting was to prevent this most unjust spoliation—this attack upon the power and wealth of the nation. Let the co mplaints he loud, and tlr, Legislature would probably listen as they had done to the 177.000 sentimental spinsters who had, in petition, veotured to submit council and advice to the British se sate.—(Cheers and laughter.) He should hope that the influential persons by whom he was surrounded, and who eves engaged deeply in the hueiness of life, would, at least, prevail as much as the Tahithas, Dircase,, and Priscilla., who knew life only from novels and romances. and ye , addressed the Legislature. He trusted the colonial empire would not be frittered away for cant and sentiment, or that this country would not lay violent hands upon her own possessions. If the colonial dominion and the supre macy of the seas were thus maintained, it never could be said that as a nation E ng l an d h a d , b y pass i ng suc h a mea sure as this, decla - ed herself incompetent to rule and un worthy to maintain these possessions. —(Loud cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously. Earl Sr. VINCENT moved the fifth resolution. The Noble Lord deprecated the Ministerial measure as must unjust, impoli.ic, and injurious to the best interests of the state. The planters had never refused to consent to eman cipa,ion, provided proper componsation was allowed them ; but up to the present time no such proposition had ever been made. Mr. N. Ma Lcot.st briefiy seconded the resolution, which was passed un,nimously. Mr. J. lavisra, in moving the adoption of the sixth re so . ution, went at considerable length into a detail of the communicstiona between the deputies and the Govern event on the subject of colonial slavery, the particulars of which have already been before the public. The Hon. Gentleman added, that on Saturday the deputies, as well as some other delegates from Bristol and Glasgow, had another interview with the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies, when they had pressed him to expl.in what was the amount of the sum intended by him for compensation, as he then called it, but which was not the term used in the resolutions he hid laid an the table of Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman declined stating anything further on that head, adding that he was not authorized by the Cabinet to tnent'on the sum ; upon which the de• potation said that unless something explicit was stated, by which the cultivation of the colonies and the co-opera tion of the colonists were secured, they could not consent to lend their hands to commit an act of suicide.—(Cheers.) Mr ANDREW CriovtLE seconded the resolution, which was also passed unanimously. Mr. J. HORSLEY PALMER proposed the seventh reso lution. He concurred in all that had been said upon the propriety of emancipation with due regard to the rights of property. The colonists hail ever been ready to meet the question with fairness, hut it was impossible they could consent to the reckless spolia-ion which would result from the adoption of the Ministerial plan, and which would endanger the whole frame of society. Ihe property of the plan•er had been secured by a hundred Acts of Palia. ment, and no Minister had a right to tamper with that property.—(Hear, hear.) It tended much to shake the credit and confidence of the country. The events of 1825 proved what was the effect of confidence and credit shaken; but he feared those events would be but as nothing in comparison with results to be anticipated from the passing of the proposed measure, for be would maintain that in such an event there would be no security to the funded property in this country.—(Cheers.) The funded pro jierty was but secured by one Act of Parliament, while the property of the colonists now assailed bad the protec• tion of a hundred statutes, which seemed to avail but little against this first proposition of gross violent spoliation. It it passed. what was to prevent an acquiescence in the doctrines of Mr. Cohbett and Mr. Attwood, and take off one-fourth from the value of the pound note ? Mr. Law's seconded the resolution, and cited the lan gnago of Lord Stowell, declaring the slaves in the cold_ Hies to he the inalienable property of their masters. H e contended on this authority, and other decisions, that emancipation without compensation would be most unjust. Lord W. Pour.xrr moved the eighth resolution, and expressed his conviction that the proposed measure was both unjust and impracticable. Mr. G. HIBBEKT seconded the resolution. The mea sure, if carried, would inflict a death blow upon the colo nial, commercial, naval, and financial interests of the country. He was satisfied that if en inquest could he held upon the colonies by Lords Vincent, Nelson, Gardiner, and other distinguikbed officers whom he had well known, the verdict would be that the body came by its death by suicide during an interval of mental derangement.— (Che!rs and laughter.) The resolution was carried. The EA of HA REWOOD, after announcing that he should probab!y not be in Parliament when the petition was presented, reminded the meeting that it was possible that branch of the Legislature might attend to their had hitherto done some service, and he would wilt every man to consider whether the attempt which had owe been made to o7errule the acct on of that assem bly had placed the tights, interest, and safety of the nation on a better footing than before. On the motion of Mr. FULLER, seconded by Mr. K. Douot.ws, thanks were then voted to the Noble Chairman by acclamation. On the 'notion of Earl ST. VINCENT, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to George Hibbert, Esq., for his &hie advocacy of the cause of the West India colo nists, The meeting then (at a quarter-past 5 o'clock)aeparated. GERMAN PAPERS. DRESDEN, MAY 20.—The following notice has been issued from the department of the Minister of the In- terior :--- " Information having been received that the Imperial Austrian Government har been induced, by the recent attempts at insurrection made by the Polish refugees who have hitherto been tolerated in Gallicia, to order all such fugitives to be sent away from that province ; it is to be apprehended ti , at some of those individuals may attempt to proceed to the \Vestern States, particularly the kingdom of Saxony. In order to prevent this, all police authotities have been directed not to allow any Pole to enter the kingdom of Saxony, no matter whence be may come, unless he is authorized by Russian or Prussian passports to return to those States, and is sure of being again re ceived in them. Such therefore as arrive at the frontiers are to he refused admission. and those who may be met with on this side of the froniers are to be stopped and conveyed back by the road by which they entered the country to the nearest foreign station."

We may expect, therefore, that in a month at the ut most, the great blow for which preparations have been so long:'making will be struck, In a military point of view, the chances of the Constitutionalists are decidedly superior to those of the Miguelites. This is the opinion of the Duke of WELLINGTON; but his Grace seems to consider that Don PEDRO has no prospect of being supported by the people, without whom he cannot expect to prevail. We hope the Duke will be disappointed. Yesterday an exceedingly numerous meeting of West India Proprietors and others took place at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on the subject of the plan proposed by his Majesty's Government for the emancipation of the slaves. Of course, as we have before observed, the planters oppose the present as they would any other plan. They were hostile to Lord GODERICFI'S plan, they are hos tile to Mr. STANLEY'S, and they declare in one of their resolutions of yesterday, their hostility to any plan which does not have regard to the future, as well as to the present, condition of the negroes, which does not provide for the future cultivation of the colonies, for the preservation of the lives of the inhabitants, and an adequate compensation to the West India planters. As the emancipation of the slaves must take place, we are persuaded that this declaration of the planters that it shall not, for to that do their resolutions amount, can only tend to prevent any regard whatever being paid to their pro positions. As the slave owners continue as loud as ever in their professions of desire for the abo lition of slavery, let us examine separately the conditions which they now for the first time fairly put before the public as those alone on which they can consent to the emancipation of the slaves. It is doubtful what the planters mean by the future as well as present condition of the negroes. If they mean the welfare of the slaves in a future state, we can only say that the agitation of the question of emancipation has done much in getting them to admit that their " live stock" have souls at all. We rather imagine, however, that the sentence is only a synonyme of the condition of providing " for the continued cultivation of the colonies." Now there cannot be the slightest doubt in the world chat if the West India proprietors offer adequate wages, labourers, both black and white, will flock to them. If the real amount of labour to be performed on a sugar plantation is as little as they represent it to be, there can be little doubt that labourers who now go to Canada, to Australia, on account of the high wages of fered in those colonies, would, under suf ficient inducements to counterbalance the disadvantages of climate, flock to the West Indies. If, by the " continued cultivation of the colo nies," the planters mean forcing the negroes to give their labour for less than it is worth, then is slavery continued. This is, in fact, what the planters do mean. Colonial estates will continue to be cultivated after the slaves are emancipated, just as much as they are now, if the proprietors choose to pay labourers for doing it. To insist upon having the labour without any payment, or with less payment than the labourers are willing to take, is to insist upon the continuance of slavery under another name. With respect to the condition about preserving the lives of the inhabitants, it is an absurdity. The mere fact of the cessation of slavery will ren der the situation of " the inhabitants"—by which term a planter always means some twentieth part of the inhabitants—will be rendered infinitely more safe than it is at present. The " periodical burnings, rapes and massacres," which now take place, will of course cease. " Adequate compensation," in the idea of West Indians, meaning the receipt of thirty or forty millions sterling, and preserving slavery, we need not detain our readers by dis cussing it. We have repeatedly admitted our willingness to allow the West Indians some compensation ; but it must be no more than a compensation for injury they will sustain by the emancipation of the slaves. Now, their pretensions in this respect are perfectly mon strous. In the report before us, almost every speaker tells us that West India property is worth nothing, that it is ruined, that it yields no profit, &c. &c., and yet they ask for thirty or forty millions sterling, as compensation for losses to be caused by the emancipation of their slaves. The plan of his Majesty's Government may in parts be objectionable, may in its present state be impracticable, but assuredly the plan, if we may so call it, of the planters, is still more objectionable, still more impracticable, and we would again urge upon them the necessity of showing a greater disposi_ tion to meet the wishes of the people than they have yet done. We have been favoured with the sight of the model of a new mode of railway conveyance, which, if brought into use, will present extraor dinary a dvantages to the public. It is on the principle of the Saxton locomotive pully, and, according to the calculations of the projector, who is an engineer of some celebrity, the average rate of travelling will be nearly thirty miles an hour on a light railway laid upon the ordinary the le as t expen di ture f or road, without requiring of the Rhine, and with which we have no connection wiw 've r, is to he ceded, by the corveritioti, to Prussia. It is not yet know n w h at i n d emn i ty O l d en b urg w ill re ceare for it ; it i s supposed, however, that it will probabl3 consist in domains in the Prussian province of Westphalia. It is affirmed, however, that this convention is not to take effect till a year hence.—(The Su4ian Mercury, a.hich gives this article, stated also a few days ago, that the principality of Lichtenhurg on the other side of the Rhine, in which is St. Wendel, is also to be exchanged with Pi nasia. )_Ailgemeine Zeitung, May 22.

The Duke of ORLEANS returned to town yesterday, from his visit to Manchester and Liverpool, for the purpose of being present at the KING'S Levee. His Royal Highness is to leave London, for France, this evening or to- morrow. There are no further official accounts from the East. A private letter, however, from Vienna states that information had arrived there of the refusal of the SULTAN to comply with certain conditions which had been previously agreed upon with the Pacha of EGYPT, The French papers of Sunday contain no news of importance. On Saturday the Chamber of Peers passed the Departmental Bill ; on the same day the Deputies passed (for the third time) the Divorce Bill, and agreed to the prin cipal clauses in the Bill respecting the Sinking Fund. It was expected that the Duchess of BERRY would be sent off to Italy in the course of next week. Great preparations were making in many parts of France to reinforce the, army of Don PEDRO. According to the Gazette Ilfedi• cale, not less than four-fifths of the population of Paris were affected with influenza. A Private letter from Falmouth, dated Sunday, states that the Marquis of PALMELLA, Cap tain NAPIER, and several officers of distinction , sailed on board the Waterford steamer for Oporto. Several other steamers and transports levelling, so that the cost per mile, instead of being 20,0001. as it is on the railways now in use, will be only 5,0001. According to the pro posed plan, a horse, walking at the rate of two miles and a half an hour over a distance of only one hundred yards, will be able to draw a light carriage, containing four persons, a (balance of more than sixteen hundred yards within the same period of time as that occupied by the animal in performing its own distance. The carriage, on arriving at the end of a mile, will be carried by mechanism from the truck on which it is placed to another truck in waiting to receive it, and the same will be done from mile to mile to the end of the journey, each succeeding carriage being drawn in a similar manner to the first until the whole train shall have paned over the railway. As far as we could judge from the perform ance of the model, there can be no doubt of the practicability of the plan, when brought into operation on a large scale, and this is also the opinion of persons who understand the thing much better than we pretend to do. Nearly twenty eminent engineers have subscribed to ' wards a fund for laying down a quarter of a mile of railway, in order to test the discovery, and it is probable that in the course of two or three months some of our readers may have an oppor tunity of witnessing the experiment on a scale which will he decisive as to its practicability. Should the plan prove successful, a material change must take place in our mode of commu nication with distant places. An outlay of less than a million sterling would defray the cost of a railway from London to Brighton, and from Dieppe to Paris; and by putting a powerful steamer on the Brighton station, the journey from London to Paris would be performed in 15 hours, so that a man might breakfast in one capital, and sup in the other ; and a merchant writing his letters after supper in London might rely upon their being delivered in Paris on the following evening.

In this case a rule nisi was obtained, on a former day, on the part of the defendant, for a judgment, as in case oJ a nlnsuit. Mr. CARRINGTON, on the part of the plaintiff, to day moved to discharge the rule. The defendant, since the plaintiff had been out of this country, had got a Judge's order, requiring the plaintiff to give security for costs, and the trial was, by the time order, to be postponed until one month after that security had been perfected. The security had not yet been perfected, and therefore the defendant was not in a situation to sign judgment. Mr. COMYN, on the part of the defendant, contended that the rule must be made absolute, as the proceeding was perfectly regular. His LORVIIIIP interposed, by observing that thr Jurlge's order for the plaintiff giving security for the costs of the suit was obtained by Mr. Comyn, and therefore he was not in a condition to proc-ed ; if the plaintiff had proceeded with the action without givinz security, Mr. Coniyn would doubtless then have contended that the proceedings were irregular. The rule was then disch aged with costs. ELLIS V. BOYLE.

Mr. Sergeant Wzi.nz moved for a rule to show close why the veodiet for 9171. 13s. 6d., found for the plaintiff at the last as-iZ , N for the county of Che.ter, should not be reduced to 8291 13s. 6d. The facts of the ca...e were these. The plantiff and his brother carried on business together, .nd in Nov., 1832. being in bad circumstances, they made an assignment of the general propo-rty for the benefit of the general creditors. The defendants, who were the assignees, having seized upon the separate estat,. be longing to William Davis, the plaintiff, who also followed the occupation of a farmer, an action was brought against them, and a ♦erdict found for the plaintiff darrrogo., 9471. 13 6d., being the amount. of the appraisement proved to have been made immediately after the seizure. After the seizure distresses for rent were levi-d, at the suit of a Mrs. Kitchener, for 521.,f0r 211 upon a field be longing to Mr. George Wilbraham, Esq., ALP for the southern division of Ch.shire, and 451. at the suit of some other person, alt of which sums the defendants now right to nate deduc ed trom the amount of the verdict. Mr. Sergeant JONES, for the plairiiiff, contended that the defendants being wrung-doers, and having no right ro hold possession and create liaholities, could no.t be allowed to apply to their Lordship• to affect floe verdict. The COURT could not see the difference between pay ment beine made by the defendants under their seizure, or by the plaintiff, as the rent must have been paid by some body. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BROOKES V BLANCHARD. This was an action for libel, tried before Mr. Baron GURNEY at the lost Durham assizes, when a verdict was found for the plaint,ff—datnages Is. Early in the term, Mr. CRE.SWELL obtained a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of an objection taken at the trial. The plaintiff was applying for a situation as en gineer to a public company, and the libel was con tained in a letter which was written by the defendant to a friend. He stated in it that the plaintiff was unfit for the situation, as he, when engaged with the Clarence Railway Company, bad caused them to spend upwards of 1,0001. by his ignorance and mistnanagernerit. The friend to whom the letter was written com municated it, and the plaintiff lost the situation in consequence. At the trial the witness said the words used in the letter were " ignorance and inatten tion," in place of mismanagement, as stated in the de claration. Mr. Baron BAYLEY suggested to both parties that they had better leave the matter where it was, than pursue it further. The Counsel said they would consult with their clients, and mention the matter on a future day. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.
