Mr. Secretary STANLEY understood the am: ndment of his Hon Friend to amount to this—that one half of the money was not to he paid until, by the Acts of the Colonial Legislatures respectively, they entitled 6 emseives to that advantage, according to the terms prescribed io the amend cent. In his judgment, Parliament had ITV right for such a length of time, or for any len e th of titne. to postpone the payment of the full 511,001,1; for in effect tie delay would, at a rate of 6 or 8 per cent.—allow, d, as such a sum ou2ht to be, for interest—be thus dimi nished in value to little more than six or seven millions. They had already resolved not to adopt a proposition for fifteen millions, and let them not by a side wind now undo that decision. He wished to know flint his Hon. Friend whether or not it was intended by his amendinent to glee the proprietors the benefit of accumulated interest. (No. 12,758.) 40NDON, THURSDAY E ENING, AUGUST 1, 183:3. ( PRICE D.

He should then move that it he printed, and recommitted on a subsequent day for discussion. MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Col. EVANS wished to know what was the intention of his Majesty's Government with respect to the conduct of the Alidillesex Magistrates on a recent occasion ? Tkie SOLICITOR-GENERAL was not aware that any improper motives had been imputed to the Magis trates. There certainly had been some blunders ; but he ►lid Dot know that they were of a nature which required punishment. Mr.. Rurcu said, that night after night accusations had been thrown out against the 'Magistrates, and he was anxious to say a few words in explanation of their conduct. The SPEAKER observed that there was no question before the House. to them referred, and agreed to the following Report : Your Committee have trade inquiries into the transac tions of the last election for the borough of Stafford, and have to report that gross and notorious bribery awl cor ruption prevailed to a great extent at that election, and that the venal state of the constituency of the orough demands the serious attention of the House of Commons. An HON. MEMBER asked, whether the Right Hon. Gentleman memt to say, that if a resolution of that House fixed a maximum sum au thus " not exceeding" such and such a sum, the House was bound to that sum, and could not recede.

PEEL answered, that, technically speaking, the House could recede from such a vote, but it would be- well for them to consider whether they ought to do so, more especially in a case where the grant of such a sum was the consequence of agr,eing to previous reso lutions. Your Committee find, that at the last election the con. test lay between three candidates, the two gentlemen who were returned, and are now sitting as Members of the House, and William Blount, Esq. A fourth candidate, Robert Farrand, E.q., was put in nomination, but did not demand a poll, nor does he appear to hive taken any part in the election beyond visiting some of the publichouses on one occasion, where a sum of money, amounting in the whole to 1301., was distributed. It is stated in evidence, that the candidates, on making their canvass of the borough, were waited upon by the el-ctors, who, after they had been solicited for their votes, proceeded into an adjoining room, where each voter, who thought it prt,Tr-r to go ',here, received at .Ic.: is called " a ticket," viz., a sum of money, varying from five to ten shillings. It is said that as many as 800 of the bur gesses attended on one occasion to receive their tickets, and that some of the more respectable inhabitants of the town, who would not go themselves, sent their sons or their servants to receive their tickets for thr in, and that in some instances the money was sent to the houses of the voters, without any applicrtion, or paid them subsequently to the election, as a just and rightful claim. This gratuity was given to every voter who appied, whether he pro mised his vote or ❑ot ; and it is stated that it is customary for a candidate coming to Stafford, " to commence with this as his first operation." At the last election, when it was known that a " ten shilling ticket" had been given on the part of one of tile candidates, the friends of the other two appear to have considered it necessary to distribute among the eltctors a second ticket of five shillings, although they had pre viously given to the amount of five shillings to every voter who attended to receive it. Mr. STANLEY wished to recall to the recollection of the House that thew had alu , ady been a discussion whether the grant in compensation should be fifteen or twenty millions, and the House had decided that question. Mr. O'CONNELL should not vote for the twenty millions: he had not before agreed to it, and he did not do so now. It was .a mere resolution of the House. it had been an Act of Parliament, the House of coure would be bound, but they we!e not by an inchoate pro ceeding of this hind. Mr. FOWELL BUXTON should hive no objec!ioo that the in•errst should accumulate for the benefit of the proprietors. I, Mr. ROTCH still expressed his hope that the House maul;? , low him, on a subject of so much importance, to tresp,s upon thei, patience.—[the Hon. and Learned Gentleman entered upon a statement of the merits of the case, but spoke with so much rapidity, and the buzz in the House was so great, that we were unable to collect more than an occasional observation.]—lt had been re presented, not only that the Middlesex magistrates had behaved erroneously in the course which they had taken, hut that they had subsequently presumed to set up their opinion in opposition to that of the Judges of the land. Not only had they not done any thing in opposition to the opinion of the Judges, hut they had shown their anxiety, as at all times, to act in unison with thlt opinion. For a time beyond the memory of man it had been the custom to go on with the swearing of witnesses to go before the Grand Jury, even where there was no Court of Magis trates sitting. He (Mr. Botch) had certainly repre sented to the Magistracy the impropriety of the practice, when be first entered on his present office. But he main tained that the error was not theirs, but the error of their predecessors. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL sP:id it was now indispu. table,from the gross misconduct proved by the last speaker on the part of the Middlesex Magistrates, that some very strong measures were necessary to be taken on the subject. (Hear, bear.) Mr. STANLEY observed, that the question had been taken whether any sum of money should be granted ; and t , lose who then thought that there should not be any compensation could consistently say the name thing now ; but those who had med for the grant of fifteen millions, had no right to object to that sum at least. It would not be an act of justice to take aw,,y the master's right to the labour of his slaves and the❑ refuse him compensation for the loss, so as to be able to hire the labour of those same men when they licarne free. Mr. O'CONNELL said that as to the Right Hon. Gentleman's observations about justice, it should be re collected, that when he first proposed his plan there was no talk of compensation. Where was his justice then?— Justice was asleep then.—(Hear, bear.) London : Longman and Co.—Edinburgh : A. and C. Black. TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. A complete System of Family Devotions, by the Rev.

JUIYI TO 0 34 6 I. A HYMN. 11. A PORTION of SCRIPTURE, with suitable Re flections. Mr. STANLEY answered, that the Hon. and Learned Member was in the constant habit of making assertions which, so often as they were refuted, he made again and again, till, by force of repetition, he believed them to be true.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Stanley) had before told the Hon. Learned Member, that when the amount pro posed to be raised was to be a loan, it was also proposed that that loan should he repaid by the negroes ; but the House decided that the negroes should not be taxed, and therefore the vote of the twenty millions became necessary, to raise the compensation in another way. Mr. CORBETT observed that, with regard to the money to be voted for this West India propel ty, he,hould not vote for one farthing of it. Either these slaves were property, or they were not. If they were, we had no right to meddle with that property; if they were not property, we were not bound to give compensation for them. It was not like the case of the hor,e , , to which they had once been compared, for they were not taken away—they were left on the farm.

It seems, moreover, that small sums of money were given to the wives and families of the poorer burgess.s, from time to time, previously to the election, and money left at the publichouses in the town to be spent in drink ing; and as the election drew near, it is stated that the publichous"s were regularly opened, and the electors treated to whatever they chose to call for. Monday, the 10. h December, having been appointed for the election, on the Sunday evening preceding considerable excitement prevailed among the electors : many of them collected at the Swan Inn, where a communication took place with the friends of one of the candidates respecting their votes. It being understood by them that the price of a plumper was fixed at 41., and of a single vote at 2/. 10s., and that the money was to be paid alter polling, the burgesses were displeased, because they wanted " to be made sure," and to have the money down in some gentle. man's hands ; and moreover, they said, " it was lowering down the price, and they would not plump for 51. Your Committee refer to this part of the evidence to show how much on the alert the voters were, and how strong was the expectation in their mind s th a t mone y wa s to be given in return for their v o t es on t h e f o ll ow i ng d ay , which expectation seems not to have been disappointed • for it is satisfactorily proved, on the evid ence o f t h ose per sons who assisted in paying the money, that soon after the poll commenced on the Monday morning, three rooms were opened, one on behalf of each candidate, to which the voters repaired after giving their votes, and where, on the arrival of a ticket, slip of paper, or list of names (which was sent from the poll from time to time) each man re ceived a sum of money, according to the market price of votes at the time of polling. It appears that as the day advanced, the price rose : the sums given at the commence ment were 21. 10s. for a divided vote, and Si. for a plumper, but they gradually rose to 41. ss. 6d. and 71., and in some instances as much as 10/. and 111. were given. Meanwhile the partisans of the respective candidates were active in soliciting votes ; and it is stated that bar gains were openly made in the Town Hall and market place, voters selling themselves to the highest bidder, and refusing to vote without a direct promise from some re spectable person, on whose word they could rely, that the money would be forthcoming. Your Committee feel it their duty to state, that it does not appear that many instances occurred in which a bur gess having promised his vote to one gentleman, was in duced, by a larger offer, to transfer it to another ; the ob_ ject being to secure the same sum from their own friend which the adherents of the other party were giving at the time. Many were content to receive the original price of 21. 10s. and 51. for a plumper, without profiting by the altered state of the market, and it seems that no variation was made during the election in the amount paid by Cap. tain Chetwynd's friends to those who vo ted for him. B ut it is admitted on all hand, that to have stopped payment altogether, whould have been fatal to the prospects of any candidate, though supported by the most respectable inha tants of the town. It is stated by one of the witnesses, that, on the morn ing of the second day of the election, finding from the person who had been paying on behalf of one of the can didates, that his finances were exhausted, he proceeded to the bank, and drew on his own account 500/., which sum he gave openly in the market-place, to the paymaster, in a roll of bank-notes tied with a string, and in the presence of several persons, who might see what passed, and because he thought the publicity would do good to the cause. It is true that this money was not entirely expended in distribution among the voters, because the opposing party had discontinued their payments, and the election was virtually at an end ; but the alacrity of this friend of a candidate to furnish the necessary means of pursuing the contest, and the publicity with which his resources were displayed, supply a commentary on the state of the borough which cannot be misunderstood.

By the Author of " Stories of Waterloo." Sir H. PEEL, referring to the resolution passed by the House on the 18th of June, in reference to tithes, wished to know if Government intended to propose some specific resolution on the subject? He bad in his hand a paper detailing the amount of tithes due in certain dioceses. For instance, i❑ Armagh, the arrears amounted to 29,0001., and in Clop,her to 20,000/. ; what the total amount of arrears might be he knew not. The effect of the resolu tion to which he referred, was to advance a sum equiva lent to the tithes due in 1831 and 1832, and to be due in 1833. Government had suspended all operations for the collection of tithes, and the consequence was, that the private holders of this species of property were unable to take any steps to obtain what was due to them. What he asked then, was, whether there was a resolution to be proposed for the advancement of any specific sum, and next, when a Bill providing an equivalent for tithes was to be introduced ?

Mr. STANLEY said, the Hon. Member was mistaken in ascribing that statement to him. Mr. COHBETT—NeII, then, if he was not correct in saying that of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he was correct in saying that it had been contended by others that free labour would be of advantage. He believed that to be a mistake. They would not work to any considerable extent, but by compulsion. It had been laid down in that House, 'that man could not have a property in his fellow man. Now, however, it was found out that the negroes were property, and the estates and the labour of Englishmen, even the labour of those who had not sulyi. dent to eat and drink, on account of the weight of taxation, were to be further taxed to give twenty millions to those who were accused of having been guilty of great cruelties towards their fellow men, and who were said to have been, by being slave holders, offenders against the laws both of God and man. However, he should not object to the vote, if the Noble Lord would complete his proposition of making paper a legal tender. Lord ALTHORP said Government felt it to be a duty, without loss of titne, to propose a resolution for a specific sum. He could not name a day, but it would be done as soon as possible.

Mr. PETER wished to know if any answer had been received by Government from the Earl of Warwick? Lord ALTHORP said it was impossible, by that time, to have had a reply from the Earl of Warwick. Mr. PETER said, if au answer that was not satisfac tory should be received, he should, before the end of the session, move an address to his Majesty from that House, beseeching him to direct his Ministers to remove the Noble Earl from the Lord-Lieutenancy of the county of Warwick.—(Cheers.) TITHES.—BEER. Mr. HANDLEY had always intended that the amount of compensation should equal the amount of emancipation. Now, however, the apprenticeship clause was introduced, and the emancipation was not as complete as he had ex pected. A question now made was, whether the negro would work for free wages ? If he would do so, then the same amount of compensation would not be reouired. Under these circumstances, he should vote for the smaller BUM ; and in doing so, he did not think he was acting contrary to the spirit of good faith. This illustrious Naturalist, shortly before his decease, put forth a final Edition of his Animal Kingdom, and in so altered and improved a form as to give it a completely new character. This publication, consequently, has had the effect of superseding the old Edition, together with all the Translations made from that Edition, including the large Work published under the superintendence of Dr. Griffiths. Mr. O'DWYER was persuaded that the country was ready to make the sacrifice of 20 millions, if justice and necessity required it; hut the Hight Hon. Gentleman's plan of emancipation did not deserve so large a sum as this. Mr. BARING wished to know whether it was the intention of Ministers to introduce their promised Bill on the subject of (as we understood) English tithes, and any measure affecting the sale of Beer. Lord ALTHORP replied, that it was their intention to introduce a Bill respecting the sale of beer, a copy of which indeed he bad then in his hand; but considering th e pressure of public business, they were of opinion it would be more prudent to deler the Tithe Bill to the next session. —(Hear, hear. ) SLAVERY ABOLITION BILL. t t h e CO P O I graUt a sf er peO, arraa• c's J3i ll e ° Cr " O over di f e fi intro- ofe, 'unel• t he 1 ", d that " goy end ea de ' 4 ' , c drive- all, On f a i P r --,_ otik, i .li t ' :e " ry verso er 6 4 ELE BRA -------- '146!

Considering the necessity which, under these circum stances, exists, for giving to the British public, in its latest and most improved shape, one of the noblest pro ductions of the modern Aristotle of Science; considering also the vast diffusion throughout this empire of a taste for Natural History, the Publisher has not hesitated to offer to the Public an illustrated Version of the last Edition of the Animal Kingdom, on terms unprecedented for cheap ness in proportion to the value of the publication. The Work will consist of 36 numbers ; each will be sold at one shilling ; it will appear uninterruptedly on the Ist of every succeeding month, and the contents will be Letter-pr ess and Plates. The Letter-press will be an exact and close translation of the original, and will furnish not only the definite meaning, but also the spirit of the text. In addition to this, a series of notes will be sub joined, in which each branch of the general science will be carried up to the present state of knowledge. The Plates, which constitute the most important source of expense, will amount to no fewer than Five Hundred ; they will be engraved on steel, and coloured in the most beautiful manner, in conformity with the great object of illustrating, according to nature, those charac teristics of animals which depend on colour. The advantages of this new Work will at once be de monstrated, when it is stated, that, for the sum of thirty six shillings, the Version of a celebrated standard Work, richly illustrated, will be obtained, which, in the original, with its plates, costs more than thirty-six pounds !

They proceeded, there fore, to call before them Mr. John Beech, the overseer of the poor for the parishes of St. Mary and St. Chad, in the town of Stafford, and directed him to compare the re gister of burgesses with his rate book, and to give in a list of those burgesses who, in his opinion, occupied premises to the value of 101. and upwards, and who would be en titled to vote under the new franchise. The List which has been made, and which is also printed in the Appendix, No. 4, contains 166 names, and from that number your Committee find that more than two thirds of those who voted were paid ; the num bers being 109 paid, 42 not paid, making 151 who polled ; the remaining 15 do not appear to have voted.

In answer to a question from Mr. HERRIES, which was wholly inau inie in the gallery, Lord ALTHORP was understood to say, that the pay. went of the twenty millions was contingent on the ;idol). tion of certain regulations by the Colonial Legislatures. They could not state when that contingency might occur, and therefore he did not see how they could i i - et the amount by any other power than that of Lords Commis sioners of the Treasury raising it by way or loan, not va rying more than five shillings in the per tentage. It bad been yesterday recommended by an Hon. Member to raise the sum by an advance of Exchequer Bills ; but he was sure the House would never sanction such a pro ceeding, for so large an amount. Mr. BERRIES suggested, that all difficulties would be got over by substituting for this and certain subse quent clauses—such a clause as would require the whole provision to be brought from time to time into Par liament. L Ord ALTHORP would avow, that if any other plan could be hit upon, the present should be alandoned. The suggestion should be taken into consideration before the bringing up of the report. Mr. AGLIONBY was convinced that the planters must derive considerable advantage from free labour, and therefore there was the less reason to give them so large a sum as that now proposed. There were two classes of persons in the West Indies who were entitled to compen sation ; but from their relative situation entitled to it in a different degree. The first were those who had slaves without land, and who obtaintd a profit on the labour of the slaves they let out to hire to the other class—namely, those persons who had lands, and cultivated them by the labour of these slaves. He thought that before such a sum as twenty millions were granted, there should be so me inquiry, to ascertain in what degree these different Classes were injured. Sir R. PEEL said that the vote he had given on this subject rested on this point. Tue House of Commons had passed certain resolutions, the first of which declared the necessity of the immediate abolition of slavery; an other, that all children, after six years of age, should be free ; and the third, that, towards compensation to the planters for the losses which these two resolutions would occasion, his Majesty should be empowered to grant them a sum of twenty millions. That resolution had been com municated to the House of Lords; they had agreed to it. After all this had been done, if they could recede from the let and 2d resolutions, and replace the proprietors in the same situ at i on i n wh i ch they ha d b een b efore, then t he third resolution might be withdrawn ; but if they had not the means to do the first of these things, they ought not to attempt the last. All the arguments of the lion. and Learned Gentleman might have been properly addressed to the House of Commons before these resolu tions bad been passed, but to say now that they had dis covered a new argument why there should be no com pensation, would be little satisfactory to the mind of try also who was incli ne d to act w i t h pru d ence an d justice, Lord NORREYS would not consent to vote away the 20 millions ; but he had no hesitation in saying, that if that clause were thrown out, as one of its opponents, he should consider it but just and fair to the proprietors to vote against the third reading of the Bill. Sir E. WILMOT thought the sum originally proposed as a loan amply sufficient ras a gift. When people talked of the prevailing diatte , .s, and of the burdens of taxation, as a ground for giving the smaller sum, the answer had been, that the honour of the country required that the larger amount should be inserted in the Bill. Now, he knew that thousands of his constituents were, if not ac twt.liy starving, in a state of great destitution, and when he returned to them, he should have to tell them, that they must continue to starve and be destitute for the honour of their country. On a former day, he had u•ed a strong expression regarding an individual ; he was happy to take this opportunity of saying publicly, as, indeed, he had said privately, that on inquiry he found it was not deserved, and that he was, therefore, very sorry for it.—(Cheers.) The Committee divided on the amendment— For it 27 Against it l5O Majority 1:25 During the exclusion of strangers, another division took place, on the original clause— For the clause — 132 Against it 5l Majority -Si On our return to the gallery, the Committee was pro ceeding, as we understood, with clause 40. Mr. F. BUXTON proposed an amendment to it to be added at the conclusion, and providing that ten millions out of the twenty millions to be granted should be re tained, by way of security, until the contract shoed(' have been fulfilled, and the parties claiming entitled to it. The Hon. Member argued that this was the course invariably pursued in all purchases, and he saw every reason for not varying from it on the present occasion. His suggestion was that the remainder of the purchase money should be vested in trustees until all necessary measures for the abolition of slavery had been adopted by the co lonists. That some plan of the kind should be resorted to did not seem to require much argument, and Parlia ment had had experience on the point; a large suns of money had been paid without reserve to Spain and Portugal for the abolition of the slave trade, and what had been the result ?—those countries had kept the money a:id be trade too.—(Cheers.) No reliance was to be placed on the West Indian Legislatures. Of all the islands, be (Mr. F. Buxton) had a right to complain, but against Jamaica be had to make a graver charge than against the rest, since it had been guilty of the most cruel and wanton persecution of the Missionaries, whose only object was to discharge an imperative and a sacred d ut y. Putting other arguments out of the question, in his view one of the wrongest grounds for withholding half of the purchase money until the completion of the contract was derived from the conduct of the people of England. An instance of such devoted and disinte rested generosity was never before known.—(Cheers.) While they were suffering severe distress, burdened with heavy taxes, and enduring great privations, they were still ready to give the enormous sum of twenty mil ions for the accomplishment of an act of humanity.—(Hear, hear, hear.) One of the last exclamations of that great and excellent man (Mr. Wilberforce) on his death bed, and, clasping his hands, was—" That I should have lived to see the day when the people of England voted twenty millions of their money for the abolition of slavery !" Mr. STANLEY said that the effect of the motion would be to put the country to the proposed expense, without any benefit to the proprietors. Toe question was, considering the state of the colonies and the moral condi tion of the negroes, whether it would be desirable to hold out inducements to the Colonial Legislatures to frward the business of einaneip ition before its app iiiitef time. He objected to the motion of his Hon. Friend, on the ground that it would lead to litigation, to delay, and to the expense of keeping up the commis•ion for six years longer than would o herwise be necessary. Dr. LUSHINGTON complained, that though bo,'n by that resolution which declared a compensation of 20,000,0001., they should have be e n told by hi s Ri g h t Hon. Friend that they were bound by nothing lie being now, after so shot t a time, the advocate of binding the House strictly to the proposed arrangetuerrs respecting apprenticeships. It was of the utmost importance that . they should make themselves assured that they should obtain emancipation. He was willing to pay the money, but he should take especial care to have goad security that the conditions of the compact should be observed. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that the proposal of Go vet nment needed little argument to support it, ;is opposed to the amendment of the Hon. Member for Weymouth, As far as he knew, the colonists co-operated with the present measure; and as it had eff.eted the cooperation of the great majority of the colonies, be woull entreat the House not to shake the bargain agreed to by that inaj irity. He would ask the Hon. Member not to press his mischievous amendment, as be could tell him twat be would put the whole question in lo.zard, if by any chancy, he should succeed in the vote of that nigh , -. He could not help alluding to the change that took pace in some gentlemen's minds on this question, and particularly to that of a Noble Viscount's opposite. He remembered that the Noble Viscount, in answer to a speech of the Honourable Member for Weymouth in 1831, took Mr. Canning's view of the question, saying, that it would not be advantageous that slavery should be situ lished at once, and that the course pointed out by the Hon. 11.1:mber fin- Weymouth was one attended with great danger ; that he concurred with Mr. Canning, that emancipation should be gradual, and that if not, the flame that would be raised must be extinguishad by blood ; that not only emancipation should be gradual, but that it should be brought about by diminishing stiff:ring and labour, and that it would be better to take the weight off the slave and assimilate him to the state of the freeman. Tli,!se were then the Noble Viscount's opinions. The present Bill was somewhat similar, but it went beyond what the Noble Viscount then advocated. He really kuew not what had come over the Noble Viscount's mind, that his views should be so altered, but great alterations of opinion were effected by time and place.—(Laughter.) Lord HOWICK had so often seen mean motives vittri huted to persons incapable of them, that when similar imputations were cast on him, he experienced no other fading than that of ineffable contempt, and pity and compassion fir him who had no better argument, and who was obliged to have recourse to such allegations. Mr. P. M. STEWART bad imputed no motives to the Noble Viscount; but had merely quoted part of his speech. Lord HOWICK thought he could repeat the exact words made use of by the Hon. Member —namely, that there were two things, time and place, whic:i altered men's opinions, and as he knew that (referring to him Lord Howirk) it could not be time, the conclu.ion must be that it was the other—place. He asked the Hon. Member if these were not his words, but the imputation implied in them was so contemptible, that the Hon. Member date not adhere to them. He treated the imputation with pro found scorn. He allowed, however, that a peat change had taken place in his opinions on the subject of slaver>. It would not be necessary for him to state fully the cause of that change, as he had done so already on a previous oc casion, when be told the House how his views had changed, and for what reasons he had adopted those of Mr. Canning. In 1823 there was no one that could deny that sl very should be at first mitigated, in order to be entirely abolished. It was the failure of such a plan as was then advised that made him adopt other opinions. While in office he had argued those views, in order to be convinced whether such a course could be pursued. Before he knew what the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Secretary for the Colonies) intended to do, he resigned. If he had chosen, he could have made it more difficult to have the present scheme carried. lie resigned on the distinct ground that Government did not intend to go so far. He thought this slight justification of himself was called upon, after the remarks of the Hon. Member. He said before, that per sonal imputations were always had recourse to by those whose arguments were weak, and never was there a more decided proof given that such was the case, than the Hon. Member just gave. It was said that they were pledged to this grant of twenty millions. Yes, thus far, as he un derstood it, given as an equivalent for the freedom of the slaves. But when apprenticeship was talked of, he doubted much about the wish for complete freedom; and when such was his doubt, he would not vote for the grant of twenty millions until he felt sure what was the considera tion they were to receive for that grant. He would sup port the amendment of the Hon. Member for Weymouth. Mr. MAXWELL STEWART explained. Lord AL THORP said that the Hon. and Learned Member for the Tower Hamlets had argued on the pre, sumption that the opinion of the House was in favour of immediate emancipation, without any apprenticeship. Now that was not the case. The opinion of the House was shown to be, that the intervening apprenticeship should take place. It was absurd to suppose that slavery could be postponed beyond the time prescribed. The Im perial Legislature having declared that slavery should cease at a certain time, it was utterly impossible that the Colo nial Legislatures should keep the slaves longer in slavery. There was, therefore, no danger to be apprehended on that account. He (Lord Althorp) thought, that in a case of such great importance as the pre,ent, such financial , rguments as had been brought forward by the Noble Lord ought to have no force. He thought that nothing would be so unwise and impolitic as to make an alteration which would give the greatest dissatisfaction.—(Hear.) It was true that the Noble Lord (Howick) had resigned his office before this measure was brought forward, and as far as his opposition to this measure went, it was certainly much more persevering than he (Lord Althorp) could wish.—(Hear.) He hoped that the House would not assent to the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member for Weymouth. Mr. O'CONNELL would have no confidence in the West Indian body, if the amendment of the Hon. Member were lost. He did not wish to defeat the Bill. His op position extended only to parts of it. At first i; had been proposed that fifteen millions should be given to the West Indians as a loan, and that the sum should be paid by the negroes : that loan had now changed into a gift of twenty millions, which was to be paid by this country. They had cut off two hours had a half a day of the negro : 1 labour, and for th a t tbey were about to give twenty mil lions. The enormity of such a proceeding was stunning. But as the West Indians were to get these twenty mil lions, they bad reason, at all events, to expeucetbsomhoewsYevmp. y: toms of humanity on their part. protestingere 11'11o: against eedelega's the o' the . l it appeared. reren tw e t Indiao n theeol bought no co-operation On the part nc i o e c ontrary, t 1 % . a 4 v measure.
