I have been anxious that the story should be clothed in such dis• guises that the names of the real actors in the drama should be for ever a secret. This object you have attained." One day last week a very good mare, the property of Mr. TASKER, of Collyweston, near Stamford, whilst graying on Easton Hill-side, was bitten on the tongue by an adder, and died in consequence before she could be got borne.

G LEFSON w as met at Turtaliten, near Clonoulty, and not noire than two or three Holes from Thurles, by a man and a woman, when, on coming up with him, the ruffian struck the unfortunate man on the head with a pitchfork and brought him to the ground, and while he was down, the woman beat out his brains with stones. A nittnbtr of country people near the scene immediately rushed on the parties and captured both, while others ran to the nearest police station, and handed them over to the custody of the police. It is supposed the cause of the murder originated in consequence of GLEESON having preferred a claim to some land.—Limerick Herald. TRIAL FOR LIBEL. John Lloyd, a r.-sprciahle•looking man, was in dicted for unlawfully publishing a malicious and de famatory libel, of and concerning Thomas Wilmot, an aiiplioneer and appraiser in an extensive way of business. Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the jury, in the course of which he said that his client had adopted the present prosecution by indictment, instead of moving it into the Court of King's Bench, in order that it might not he supposed he instituted the in quiry for the purpose of lucre or gain, but merely witn the view of clearing his character from the stigma which the defendant had attempted to attach to it by the libel in question. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the libel, which reflected in very strong terms on the character of the defendant in a transaction with the prosecutor, and was con tained in a printed bill, many of which had been stuck up in various parts of, the metropolis, but more particularly in the city. The bill, it appeared, had no printer'.- name attached to it, but the omis sion wa. rectified by the voluntary attendance of a Mr. Bushnell, who, in his evidence, said that he was the printer of the libel, and produced a manu script which he alleged had been given to him by the defendant for the purpose of pat fishing. Upon com paring the printed bill and the manuscript, however, there appeared to be a good deal of difference in the style, and some of the terms. Mr. JEMMETT, on the part of the defendant,' ar gued the point at issue with Brent ingenuity, con tending that the publ'cation of the libel had not been sufficiently proved to satisfy the minds of the Jury that the defendant was the author of it. The Learned Counsel, in the course of his reply, said that the prosecution of the defendant by indictment cumpletely disarmed him, and even had he been the :author of the libel, prohibited him from proving a justification, and trying the merits of the case in another Court. The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the Jury on the narute of the evidence adduced to support the p oseeution; and after a short deliberation, the Jury acquitted the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. An old soldier, named Pat Mahony, was charged by a city officer under the following cir conistkoces:— The officer stated that on Sunday the defendant annoyed the persona who visited t he Roman C tholic chapel in Moorfields by asking charity while in a state of intoxication. Witness having hail notice from a previous transaction at the same place appr-healed the defendant, arid transferred him to he Comoter, where he was deposited till he reco vered. On the preceding Sunday Mahony had gone to beg in Mornfields, arid as the people were going to chapel in the morning he shammed a fi., which succeeded womb-Tinny, for while he was grinding his teeth the compassionate passers-by cried out, " Oh, poor fellow, for God's sake take care of him !" arid showered pence into his hat. The moment lie thought it convenient to recover, the first thing he did was to take hold of his hat, arid in about an hour he was cornple ely fuddled. On last Sunday he went to Moorfields for the pur pose of playing off a convulsion or two, but he com menced the business too drunk, and every body •aw that it was a mere humbug, and when he found that he flung himself about with no effect he began to blow up.—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—What have you to say to this, Maliony? Defendant—Why, my Lord, the fit was a real fi . , but when a man recovers he's as well as ever he was, and so was I. Now, my Lord, if a man gets a wallop across the head in the street and is tumbled over head and heels, isn't his hat the first thing he looks for when he gets up?—(A laugh,)—That was exactly the case with me. The LORD MAYOR—But you got blind drunk after that. Defendant—Nor at all, my Lord. 1 _ know I was a little bothered or I wouldn't ask for a farthing., but I wasn't at all in liquor, f ,, r I was able to walk and even to stand; besides I have a pension (Laugh, The LORD MAYOR—And where are you going now ? Defendant— Why ihe I'm just going off to Iceland if you'll only let me. The LORD MAYOR —Well—attention—to the right about—.-quick march.— (Great laughter— amidst which the old soldier darted out of the jos tict-room, and d,wn t he .tewt in double quick time.) MAR YLEB ONE. A DETERMINED CHARACTER.—Yesterday Ann Harvcy, a woman of forbidding appearance, was charged with stealing a child's hat and handker chief, a►nd several other articles, the property of a poor woman named Harriet Green, residing in Herme-street, Edgware-road. The prisoner was al.o charged with stealing a sheet and other articles, the property of Mrs. Ann Bell, of Seymour-place, New-road. Mr. RAWLINSON to the prisoner—Well, wha' have you to say to this? Prisoner—Nothing. An officer here came forward and said that the prisoner had five years ago been transported for seven years. Mr. RAWLINSON to the prisoner —Well, how comes it that you are here? Prisoner—Why for my good behaviour I was let off by being servant to Mr. Wootner for three years. Mr. RAWLINSON—W hat have you been doing since ? Prisoner—Anything; sometimes washing, sometimes ii ciiiing, acid sometimes— Mr. RAWLINSON—Thieving, I suppose. Pri soner—Exactly so; and very proper too, if there's nothing better to be done. Mr. RAWLINSON—You are a most incorrigible character, and are now going to your old quarters. Prisoner—With all my heart,. your Worship. Good bye. The Prisoner was then committed on both charges. QUEEN-SQUARE. RIOT AND DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. —Yesterday Mr. Wm. Hutchinson, a gi.ocer in S , ruttou-ground, Westminster, Win. Phillips, arid Thomas Smith, hackney-coachmen, together with James Grant, David Reed, and James Winter, were charged with violently assaulting several police constables of the B division in the execution of their dipy, and inciting a mob to rescue a pri soner from their custody. About eleven o'clock on Saturday night the defendant Phillips wins in the Horseferry-road, Westminster, with his master's coach, and at the same time very much intoxicated. He quarrelled with some man and got off his box to fight him. Police constable Wells, of the B division, per suaded him to go home quietly, but he refused, and to pre s,rve the peace of the neighbourhood he was com pelled to take him to the station-house. The de fendant resisted, and he was forced to get three other constables to assist in carrying him. His coal pinion Smith interfered,and endeavoured to reset]. him our of their custody, and by the time they go. no Sri-Litton-around a mob of between two an• three hundred persons had assembled, who cntri menced pe l t i ng t h e constables with stones and brick hats, calling them at the same time " Collhatt fields butchers," " Down with the police," " Dow , with Peel's butchers," and similar expressions. Th. mob was increasing every minute, when a bady o police from the station-house came up and kept th , mob off until the defendant Phillips was lodged •he s tation-house. Several of the police•consiable. were struck with the stones,and very much bruised. With some difficulty the defendants, who were the most active in the riot, were picked out anti secured Police constable Muller, of the B assisting to carry the defendent Phillip: to tin station-house, when Mr. Hutchinson seized him by the arm and collar, and called them murderou villains. He, however, kept firm hold of the pri soner. In a few minutes afterwards he was struck with a stone on the back of his head, and on turn ing round he saw Hutchinson was behind him. A number of other police constables, who had been assaulted by the defendants, gave evidence. Hutchinson denied having assaulted the police or thrown any stones. The other defendants pleaded drunkenness. Mr. GREGORIE, after consulting with his col• league, said that there appeared some difference in the conduct of the defendants, and the sentence was that Hutchinson. Smith, Reed, and Grant pay the full penalty of .5/. each, or be imprisoned for two months, and that Phillips and Winter pay a penalty of 40s. each, or he imprisoned for one month. The defendants were all locked up with the ex ception of Hutchinson, who instantly paid his 5/. arid left the office. It is worthy of remark that on this occasion, although the police constables were most roughly treated, not one of them used his staff' against the assailants. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday Thomas Smart, a carpenter, was bron2ht from St. Giles's station-house m the custody of Wm. Hersch,ll, 117 E division, and other constables, charged with having assaulted them in a violent manner. ---- --- Herschel) yesterday morning, about half-past four o'clock, was on duty in Brownlow-street, Drury lane, when the prisoner, without any provocation, called out to him, " You - Spatielis butcher, I'll Cully you," on which he gave him a tremendous blow with a stick upon the shoulder, v% 'ltch knocked him down, and he then swore that he would shoo• him or any police - that ever offered to interfere with him. The stick wit b which the prisoner struck him broke in consequence of the violence of the blow. Witness instantly secured the prisoner, and the butt-end of the stick (now prodoct-d), about one inch and a half thick, when he became very violent, on being assisted by other policemen, the pri sooer kicked them and called them opprobrious names, and they had great difficulty in taking him to the station-house. Other wiinesses corroborated this testimony. Mr. ROGERS ordered the pris 'tier to find bail, for the want of which he was locked up. Da,iel Burke, an Inshma.i, was charged with being concetited in a despeia e riot and assault, in which Payck Haley, another Irishman, was dan gerously wounded, and others severely injured. It appeared from the evidence of Wm. M . Finn, and another constable of St. Sepulchre's, that on Sunday night last they rec ived information That a disturbance had taken place between a patty of low Irish in the neighbourhood of S .firott-hill, and it was reported that a man had lost his life. They proceeded to the spot, wh, re they found between two and three hundred men and women, some of whom bad children in their arms, fighting in a desperate manner with sticks, shovels, pokers, can dlesticks, and quart vits A great many of them had cut heads, and t' , e injured man was lying in a state of insensibility on the road, bleeding, while the prisoner was beating him violenly on the head with a brass candlestick until he appeared to be smite oead. On the alarm of the " Police" being raised the rioters dispersed, but the plisoner was secured, and Haley, the injured man, conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where his head was found to be covered with extensive wounds, and he was pronounced to he in a dangerous condition, and could not attend to give evidence against the prisoner. Tne prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he was remanded until the fate of Haley be made known on a future day. Yesterday John Forbes, a mechanic, was brought before Mr. W EDGWOOD, charged with assaulting police constable Hunter, of theft division. The complainant stated that while he was on duty the pr• ceding evening in Rotherhithe the de fendant, who was rather in liquor, made a great noi-e in the street, was very diswderly, and refused to go home quietly. The policeman on remonstra , - ing with him wa• struck and kicked, and when he attempted to take the defendant into custody be was assailed with (brews, the latter t.n ging the mob to take his pair, and calling out, " We have hottest juries at this side of the water as well as over at Spafields." The moment the allusion was made about the Cdthorpe-street afftir the populace ex hibited a wrong disposition to rescue the defendant, who was at length secured, and after much difficulty taken to the station-hou-e. The Magistrate fined the defendant 40s. Two other men, named inks and Osmond, were charged with attempting to throw policeman Cotte rell into the Thames.—The defendants were fitted 40s. each. HONOUR TO LITERATURE.—The Royal Government of Spain has ordered a limit of CERVANTES to he placed in the front of the house which he inhabited at Math id.—Literary GazeM. THE RIVER RESTONICA, IN CORSICA.- The little river Reatonica, in Corsica, has the wonderful property of whitening every thing thrown into. Its waters are ts clear as crystal, and the small stones which are seen in its bed are as white as chalk. Any kind of metsi, but particularly iron, when dipped in it, has the appearance of being plated with silver. The quality of its waters also isesteeined highly salubrious. The people of the mail, in its progress from EdinburA on Sunday night, had a droll rencontre. In the neighbourhood of the Bield a pony saddled and bri dled, but without a rider, crossed the leaders. The corn pany were naturally alarmed, lest some accident should have happened to the unlucky wight, whose steed was thus wandering masterless; and the guard alighted to re connoitre. He had not proceeded far, when he discovered on the top of the wall by the side of the road, something white, hut whether a ghost or a sheep he was at a loss to tell. He approached, in the idea that it was a sheep, when, to his great astonishment, he found that it was a two legged animal of the male kind, stripped of coat and waiatco It, and seated astraddle on the wall, which he was kicking and spurring most furiously, and on which he was invoking all manner of evil for standing atone still, while its rider was so anxious to he going. With some gentle force and a good deal of persuasion, the slev ited travel er was made to descend from his rough saddle, and, after being pretty well roused, was directed, as well as , he dark ness would permit, in what quarter to search for his veri tible steed. I t i s suppose d t h at t h e h onest ma n, under the combined eff ect o f l ong s i tt i ng an d d eep d r aughts, had mistaken the 'r dike" for hi • own bed stock, and had stripped in order to tumble in, but on getting astride the cope, a change come o'er the spirit of his dream ; and, fancying himself once mole on the back of his pony, he began to spur and whip until the guard relieved him...—. Dumfries Courier. could he realized, with the payment of 1 000/. or 2.000/. :merest upon the loan ?—(Cheers.) But even this corn rens 'lion was suggested as a gift to the proprietors—wha• -ecurity or guarantee was there? Only the guarantee o , he faith of the Parliament—that P iament which wa ,bout to hresk its frith with the colonists by the r.onfisca lion and spoliation of their property.—( Applause.) Wirl retard to the compensation being regulated by the averag,- the propo•ition was monstrout. The su ,, ject, however, had been brought formard, and he thought protrac.ior would be unadvisable; hut, on the contrary, that it sliould he brought to a speedy issue. He lamented tha more information had not been soug-t by the Government from prictical men ; but the Ministry had seemed to lear. from the West India body as if they entertained an im preesion that they woul , l not give a fair opinion ; who, however, he would a•k. so competent to kive that opinion or to afford that inf irmation, as the parties most into rested in the measure ? The question was one not onl} interesting to the West India proprietary, but to the country at large. He hoped that their assistance wool be profited by; and he trusted the meeting would always keep in view, so long as funded property was secure and protectio❑ aff .rdttl by law, the resistance to this propo ,ition of spoliat;on.—(Loud and eeneral cheers.) Lord CO%ISERNIERE spoke as a soldier of some expe rience, having peen G.vernor of Barbadoes for three years, and having had the opportunity of visiting all the colonies of the West India isl inds. He thought that if the proposed measure were allowed to piss, giving the Go vernment credit (which he did), for all the hunrani•y an} one present might be supposed to be possessed of, the) would ir.flict great evils on the slaves, and ruin upon thousands both in the colonies and in this country. Iti his conscience, and on his lion ,ur, the measure was calcu iated to inflict a serious injury both upon the slaves ant their families. He would content himself with moving the first resolu,ion. Admiral Sir BYAM MARTIN was not a West India proprietor. He had not a farthing of property in the colonies, and was entirely unconnected with any persol tr iding there, but he had accepted the invitation to second the resolution proposed by the Noble Lord, under the feeling that it was the bounden outy of every man to come forward and lend a helping hand to the cause of thi colonists at a time when he saw them in a most peri'ous situation.—(Hear.) He• felt also interested as a naval officer, thinking, with the immoral Nelson, that thi moment this country lost her colonies, she would have tii deplore the loss of her n AVV.( .ud cheers ) He lido served in two different districts in the colonies, and was a••le to decl,re that the iniquitous and false statements put firth by the Anti-Slavery Society were most crud and unjust towards those against whom th e asser tions were directed.—(Loud cheers.) The p'an pro posed by Government was most inapplicable ti• every point which it professed to relieve, and he would beg the meeting to remember that it wen• directly t. violate the rights of property, whicb, if attacked in on. instance, would not be secure in another.—(Cheers ) H must also state that the mercantile naval service, so much aided by tie colonies, was the parent •'f the British navy. F. out it the set vice to which he belonged drew the most efficient aid, and fur the evil conseqiiences of the proposed measure of injustic- to the colonies he would nut answer. The measure was contrary to every human print pie; no Bill ever passed the Legisla ure, by which the piivate property of any suhject of the realm was aff eted, if even for the cutting of a can .1, or toe making of a railway ; the jealousy of Parlionent was not arrayed against &-) infringement of the tigh's of proper y; and the same authority had no more tight to d prive the West Indian of his ',royalty in the colonies, than to d- p ive a min of his estates in this country. H was convinced t h atif the delusion spread ablaut' by false representations could give way to tru h, the voice of the nation would support the Govero• inent in a m ire equitable ajwitinent of t his great, diffieult, and important question.—( Hear.) The object of the Wes India body hail ever heeu tub and ta' investigation, hut trey hail been met by secret enemies, whispering firth falsehood over the country, which hid led at the elec tions to pledges alike disgraceful to the constituents who asked and the canoidate who gave them.— (Cheers.) He hop , d, notwithstanding the pledges given under delusion, that truth would prevail, and that the Legislature would not content to an act of the 'posttest injustice, and the most wanton spoliation.—. ud eh.-ere.) Mr. G. F. YOUNG, 111. P., Raid, the resolution sub m•tted to the meeting stated that the shippine employed in :he col 'pial trade amounted to 240,000 ton•; but 1,, haieved the latest return which had been presented t.• Parliament showed that it amounted to between 260,000 and 270,000 tone. The result ot experience ot the effects of the changes in the navigation system of thi country was such that he thought no man would augur very tavouraoly Qs to the transportation of the shippine trad.• to other channels ; but, notwithstanding this, a feeling prevailed to which he washed to draw the atten tion of the meeting : he alluded to the opinion tha inasmuch as the supply 01 sugar gave employment t.. this amount of tonoc.,e, by the opening more dis tant ports ot the world no injury would be sus taiited.—(ll,ar, hear.) The result of the maritim , changes in this country on the system of reciprocity hat been the displacement of a large quantity of British tonnage, and in particular he would mention facts as re g irded American tonnage with re;erence to cotton imports. During the last year the imports ot cotton had been in the proportion of three-fourths in American bottoms, and only one-fourth in the Gunn tge of this country ; and the vaive in dollar., of the expo; ts from this country had been nine tenths in American ships, and hut one tenth in British bottoms. From this result he anticipated that if, with atal impolicy, reliance should rest upon British shippint taken from the West India trade beirg employed in im poriations from other ports, that, sooner or later, those iin porrations would he made in foreign bottoms, by whir; " navigation could be pet formed at a much cheaper rate that. at present could be done by British ship.. The effects of the proposed measure would be most disastrous to Britisi shipping, and having said thus much, he would refrain from going into the details upon the subject which had as sembled the present meeting.—(Hear.) With respect to that sutiject, he however must observe, that he had base') himself on the principles of the resolutiiins of the House ut Ciiminons passed in the year 1823. On those principle lie was anxious to s-e the emancipation of the slaves car tied into effect. The period, too, had lirrived when it could no longer be delayed, but he also thought that tai" and equitable compensation ought to accompany that great act of national restitution.—(Hear.) If the British Mi nistry would but have dared to tie honest on this question line of demarcation wuu'd have been drawn between the unconditional emancipators and the great bulk of the country, which would have consented to bear a portion of the means of compensation.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put from the chair, and car tied unanimously amidst loud applause. Lord Commit was old enough to remember when tin slave trade was carried on in British ships. and had re joiced in its abolition, which he only hoped had been general.—(Hear ) It appeared to him if more prudenca was not now manifested with regard to the emancipatio: tit the negroes than hail been shown on the subject of the sid it Bil British ships trade,. wboiHup ?ed the e: do th e tr a hed t m oe toe,: same. —( C h ee r s .) s e ,un i .t e un q n, ( U t C t ri consequences sssa. assured s t Tu i w g r:aed f s r e t ato n bhn n oa, i t :f h hijo e ere sudden ab 'titian of the law! . would ensue in the other y t nce of the measure which had assembled the present tneetin. would be most ru , noo to all classes—none, indeed, wow( .escape. He concurred in the sentiment that an incon ceivatile injury would be inflicted upon the Britisi navy by the destruction of the colonies. He trusted wile his Majesty's Government were masts aware of the sent. meuts of the highly respectable and influential body I, : which tie was surrounded, consisting of the most fibers and enlightened class in the world, —he meant the British Mr. FITZGERALD, M.P., supported the resolution. He leprecated the proposed me , sure as most unjust, anti •alled upon tie fundholder to mike common c-ityw with -he West India proprietor against t e innovation upon prop-cry. The fundholder knew nut how soon his oaoB torn might c , me.—(ll-ar.) He could not but d prerate• r. ‘e manner in which petitions were got up and sent to' oath House,. of Parliament, praying for uneonditiona; anticipation. These did not speak the sentim nts In the . people, but were manufactured /tomds rls upon hundreds in the city of London. He was c oivince I thrt the ro4- jority of the nation wished for rinancipatinn upon hit . sod equitable principles. He was himself an advice:* tof Inanely/Pion upon the principles laid down by Mr Cans: .ing in 1823, and on th sse principles had been re urn d t. , Parliament without opposition by a large and inde ,rendent constituency. He could not coorlu•le without .uggestiog the propriety of an opini n being expressed 1 the West India holy upon the amendin-nts intended to o e moved by the Hon. Member for Sheffield (Mr. Buck ngham) and the Hon. Member for Kidderminster (Mr. Golson) on the resolution proposed by h., 1114jesty's Mi nisters. It was, in his judgment, desirable that t e senti ments of the r ody should be known on this subject. The resolution, having been put to the meeting by the noble ch &man, passed unanimously. Mr. JEREMIAH HARMAN moved the third resoluti-n. He was an advocate, under certain conditions, for the ahri .ition of slavery, and, though he abhorred the very name at slave, yet he Ind a still greater abhorrence of doing an ict of injust;ce under the name of hnnaanity. Such was he measure now under the consideration of Parliamen, hut he was yet willing to hope that, after the demonscra. ion of feeling which had that day been made, hi- Mijes y's Government, if they had sufficient independence left, would pause before they involved themselves in this elite graceful epol , ation.—(Cheers.) Sir CHARLES NMI, Bart., briefly seconded the resod lotion. It had Breen said that the state of the county was such as nut to admit of comp-nsatios, but he appre hended that means might be devised to meet the justice of the case, and at the same time mercifully to emancipate the slave population.—(Hear, hear.) Tne resolution was then pissed unanimously. Sir M. S STEWART, B .rt. M.P.— My Lord Harewood and Gentlemen—l have been honoured by being dehi , ed to .oi ()pose to you the fourth resolution. Before I make the very few observations which I shall presume to do, in deference to you, as proposer of a resolution, I beg to eg-- phin why I, almost a stranger to the great majority amongst you, should at this momentous time—at this tvvelttlo hour of the di-tress of the West India planters. put myself forward in the situation which I now fill. Inde pendently that I have an indirect interest in the colonies, I have the honour to represent a couoty—Renfrewshire, in which are the two sea port towns of Greenock and Port Glasgow—seaports which would wool. h ove risen from oheir insignific,nce, bad it not been for the trade with , he West India Island».--(H••ar, hear.) At the pres.-nt momentous perio•l I felt it due to their int. rests--I flon ,wered it as a solemn and sacred sentiment of duty to o•orne forward at this agony, it I may cal it so, and throw niy, as I think every individual should do bin, mite into ...ur scale.—(Cheers.) The ocean itself is composed of •lrops, and if every drop were to withdraw itself, under the plea of its own insignificant-, where wont' be the ocean? It would be more thin presumptuous in me to •-•nlarge on your better information with any general obser vations of mine, more especially after the plain, prudent, s , atesman-like speech of our Noble Chairman—(CCorers) —or the practical observations of the Gallant Naval Officers by whom lam surrounded.

The resolution which I have re d demands no ouservation from me. It shows how large—h .w aud co extensive the West India interest is with every interest in the sta•e. It iden•ifiee it..elf with every ramificAtion of property. Thousands and tens i thous aids who hay. no direct connection with yet feud their prosperity involved in the settle ment of this greet question. The adjustment now to be mad-, be it remembered, is a final adjustment; and I do not hesitate to say, that of the three great questions now ,ending in Parliament, this is by far the must imoortant, because it is 6ntl—( Hear, hear)—and bec.use, in settling it, we have to deal with elements infinitely more auseep lble than those connected with even the Charters of the Bank or that of the East India Company.—(Hear.) In proof of this, I only appeal to the felings of every indi ,idual present, to the intense anxiry with which every individual looks to the effect produced by the annuunce lient of this proposition in the West Indies, whether the stream, which it will swell to its full height, will sweep .way the islands with its torrent, or whether, by wisdom, nod:-ration, and prudence, they may yet be preserve f Hear, hear.) 1 shall only further say—and I say it with 4 spirit of sorrow and sineerity--that this qu.stion far eY"n'i party—(Hear)—it is far beyond this government it that Government—it is a question which strikes at the iehility and best interests of the empire.—(Hear ) I say t us much, to show that my political faith in ELI' Grey nil Mr. Stanley is not shaken. I believe them to be awes% and able Ministers, and I be ieve that, in a f w days oefore the question comes on in the House of Pirliam-nt, • hey will listen to and adopt some of the just complaints And arnen4tuents of the practical, experienced, and ag grieved West India planters.—(Hear, hear.) I could en- Arge longer on this question, but feel it impossible to add to what has been already said. I trust Parliamen• will attend to the practical suggestions wade to them, and deal .ut a large measure of justice to thr numerous class of per sons scattered throughout Great Britain, consisting of widows, orphans, minors, annuitants, and other claimants under wills and settlements, who have no support for them s -lyre and their families, except a ch age upon colonial property created on the faith of existing laws.—( Cheers.) Mr. H. BLISS seconded the resolution. The measure p oposed won d reduce many pers.‘ns from affluent or easy eiicuinstances to want, distress, and beggary—a elm, too, who could not dig, and to beg would be ashamed !" I-Liar, hear.) Another Bonaparte, or a visitation of Providence, was less to be dreaded, and would be trifling compar.tively with that which now threatened the colo ai.s. Let the meeting bear in mind what was to be gained and what lost. The colonies supplied produce to the .mount of from 10,000,0001. to 11,0G0,0001 annually, nil consumed of manufactures between 4,000.0001. and .3,000,000/. There were employed in the tra to not less hen 230 000 tom of thipping, not to enter into the trade wising from the mutual interchange of commodities be tween the southern and northern colonies, and amount.ng nnually to u pwards of 2,000,0001. and employing ship_ ing of 100,000 tons.
