MAIDSTONE, MAY 26. - The hop bines are still growing with great rapidity, and although the ravages of the fly are slightly perceptible in some grounds, yet we have no reason to believe that it has inerea.ed since our last. Such is the promising appearance of the apple trees in Somersershire that in the hundred of Mart- I , ck alone it is calculated that at least 10,000 hogsheads of cider will he made this year. Parliamentary returns have been just printed of the number of American and British ships entered in wards into the port of Liverpool from New York from the Ist of January, 1632, to the Ist of January, 1833, which present ti.e following statement :—American ships 68, tonnage 35,403; British ships 23, tonnage 7,178. There were imported into Liverpool last year from the United States 552 036 ba es of cotton, of which number 375.567 bales were imported in American, and 206,471 bales in British ships. The export of salt from Liverpool. to Rossia in the same period amounted to 14 919 tons, or the value of 7,2951., the whole of which was exported in foreign ships. It appears from a return just printed, by order of the House of Commons, of the number of commissions of bankrupt issued from the let of January, 1823, ►o the Ist of January, 1833, that there were during those ten years 691 commissions issued, of winch number 107 were superseded ; and in 259 cases certificates were granted. Tiir greatest number of bankruptcies occurred in 1826 in which year there were 90 commissions issued ; and the smallest number in 1924, when there were only 52. In 1829, the number was 78 ; in 1830,64 ; in 1831, 69 ; and last year the number was diminished to 56. SURPRISING HORSEMANSHIP.--On the morning of the 20th, Captain PARKER, of the Royal Ar tillery, at Charlemont, rode his bay horse, the Admiral, from Charlemont Fort to Newry and back, in two hours and twenty five minutes I—a distance of 53 English miles. The time allowed for the performance was three hours ; but the Captain having got considerable odds that he would not do it in two hours and a half, won all his bets by having five minutes to spare. Thus (lid I.e accomplish the astonishing distance of twenty-one miles an hour with one horse, which exceeds by far all feats of horsemanship ever performed in the sporting world.— Dublin Evening Packet. LIMERICK POLITICAL UNION.—At a meeting of the Limerick Political Union on Monday last, which took place under the pretext of complimenting the Messrs. RocuE on the failure of the petition against their return, Mr. STEELE, the Chairman„ is reported to have spoken in the following strain :—" Had the Coercive 13ill passed into law in the House of Commons as it had come to it from Pandemonium—the Pandemonium of the House of Lords—it would, he declared, be, in his opinion, the duty of O'CONNELL to put himself at the head of the people, and of all Ireland at that moment to burst into one volcanic rebellion.—(Tremendous cheers ) He had now gone through all he hail said before the minions of the Government, and those who lie had thought would report to Government what he had said ; and he would repeat, that had that Coercive Bill passed into law as it bad come to the Commons from Pandemonium, no Irish man would deserve to live one hour if he did not take his pike in his hand to oppose it.—(Grea►. cheers.)"—Dublin Evening Post. The Literary Gazette of to-morrow will coot .in an unusual mass of new and entertaining matter. The first review of Horace Walpole's letters to Sir Horace Mann (the sealed MS., only opened at a limited period after the writer's death, now most ably edited by Lord Dover, and not yet ptablislied), supplies a copious store of curious and interesting anecdote, wit, personal story, and political intelligi nce, during the last 20 years of George 11. The Parson's Daughter, by Theodore Hook ; the Post humous Works of Goethe, Memoirs of Mrs. Inclibald, Kidd's Bridgwater Essay, Pellico's 31emoirs, Mrs. Trol lope's Novel and Poetry, &c. &c., fill up this department with much various literature; while among the original at tides may be announced characteristic and amusing Me moranda of Kean during the least known period of his life, previous to his great London debut ; and an account of one of the most superb monuments of Roman art (a mosaic) just discovered at Rome. The general epitome of Public Meetings, Learned Societies, Exhibitions, Fine Arts, Progress of Sciences, the Dr sma, &c., &c., complete this weekly picture of the passing time.

The new and doubly responsible situation in which I am placed, as lessee of both the Patent Theatres, renders it, I presume, neither egotistical nor supererogatory on my part, frankly to inform the two Companies, and the Profession at large, of the course I mean to adopt, at this unprece dentedly critical period of Dramatic History. All parties will admit that the theatrical times have long been " out of joint," for within a very recent period Covent-garden Theatre was not only prematurely closed, but the scenery, dresses and properties were actually adver tised for sale ; and although the Theatre wis afterwards re• opened, it was effected by public subscription, and by the creditor's consent to take a compo-ition for their claims : it will also be recollected, that during the whole of the previous ten years' management, it had but one profitable season. The fate of Drury-lane Theatre, during the said ten years, has been equally unfortunate, since three succes sive lessees have totally failed, and it is only the wealth and great punctuality of Captain Polhill which have saved him from being similarly involved ; whilst the disastrous result of the present season at Covent-garden is proved, by the separation of the Company from that Theatre, and its bring reduced to perform at tbeOlympic. I admit " chance had no hand in this," and far one obvious reason, viz.:—that previously to Mr. Harris leaving Covent-garden Theatre, it was so far a prosperous concern, that annually very large sums were paid out of the profits, towards liquidating the debt caused by the new building. Then it should be remembered, that (dur ing this management) whilst the public could see a tragedy performed by John Kemble, Geerge Cooke, and Mrs. Sid,lons, and afterwards by Miss O'Neill, Messrs. Young. Macready, and C. Kemble, they could, in the same theatre, enjoy the cornbtned talents of Miss Stephens, Miss M. Tree, Messrs Liston, Jones, W. Farren, Fawcett, Emery, Ineledon, &e., and yet it is as extraordinary as true (which can be proved by the treasurer of each theatre), that the manager's weekly payments in salaries have (since the abolition, in September, 1822, of th , . ma timum so long preserved by the late Messrs. Sheridan Aid Harris) increasedolmost in the ratio to the decrease of the rec ipts ! It is therefore to provide, as far as practicable, for the loss of so large a portion of the above tab tit, that makes the scheme of uniting the present comp inies one of very pressing necessi y, in order that the public may once more witness the legitimate drama prop rly represented; for it was wisely remarked by Mr. Henry Harris (on a recent occasion of petition to the Legislature against additional theatres), that ' 6 Actors are not, like tm chanics, to he found at a house of c.ll ;" and death has just deprived the stage of another of its brightest ornaments, who in his short career was always found individually attractive. However unpleasant, therefore, it may prove to my feelings to la, compiled to return to this system of the maximum, I am sorry to say there appears (under "ex isting circumstances") no other expedient; and such being the case, it is hoped the Actors will take into considera tion, first, that most profe•sions hive felt the severe pressure of the times; and afterwards, the proved impos sibilily of paying Performers, and other b anches of these large establishments, under the present expensive and ruinous Regime. To conclude, 1 throw myself on the candour and libe rality of the profession, snit also on that of the public and the pre.s, to aid and uphold me in my humble endeavours to restore the prosperity of that long neglected but rational source of amusement—t e National Drama.

Lord ALTHORP considered it highly important to a fair understanding of the subject of the Bank Charter that he should make his statement to-morrow night, when he should propose certain resolutions in the Committee ; he should then propost! that the Chairman report progress, and that the subject should stand over for a few days previous to the discussion of the resolutions. His statement he had reason to believe would not take up any great length of time, and therefore if the debate to-night he adjourned. it would take the chance of being resumed after his state ment on the Bank charter to-morrow night.

BELGIUM. Lord PALMERSTON brouv.ht up a copy of the con vention entered into between his Majesty the King of France, and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, wi - h an explanatory article thereunto annexed. Sit RICHARD VYVYAN said, before the House went into Committee on the question of colonial slavery, be had to present a petition from a body of his Majesty's subjects, who felt greatly aggrieved by the plan proposed by the Right Honourable Gentle man. It was a petition fioai the bankers, planters, proprietors, merchants, and others interested in West India property. The petitioners stated that they saw no difference in property held under the still existing law— (Hear)—which they contended was in favour of their possessing such property as that of which the pro posed measure was intend d to deprive them ; that much of that property had devolved upon them under conditions that the granter should keep up and maintain a certain number of slaves ; that under certain Acts passed in the years 1819 and 1821, Government had itself sold estates with slaves upon thena ; that by the resolu tion entered into by that House in 1832, it had recog nised the right of property, and had bound itself to pro vide a fair compensation for the value of the slaves, if the State interfered with them ; that the petitioners had heard with great consternation and dismay the propositions of the Right Hon. Gentleman with regard to the abolition of slavery, seeing that they amounted to an absoMte con fication of property without an a !equate compensation ; and that to proprietors anti owners of unencumbered estates, the proposed plan afforded no compensation what ever. The Hon. Member begged to say, that he had on no previous oecasion gone so much at length into the read ing of a petition, but he thought that the present occa sion was one in which a deviation from his usual rule would be readily conceded ; e-pecially as the p-tition contained sufficient argument to induce the House to accede to the player of the petitioners to be heard by counsel at the bar of that House against the proposed measure. He would not, however, go into any further argument, which might provoke discus-ion, before the subject was regularly under notice.—The petition wa. then read. . . The HoN. BARONET then pr.•sented another petition from the linen, woollen, hardware, and other merchants, brokers, shipowners, coopers, rope and sail-makers, iron merchants, and other manufacturers connected with the Sir,st Indian commerce of the city of Bristol, deprecating the aduption by the H use of any tnea•ure of slave eman cipation not consistent with the wellbeing of the neeroes, the lull sa►ety of the colonies, and the equitable consideia non of the rights o f private property. . . Mr. GOULBURN preset) ed a pe ition to the same effect, agreed to at a public meeting held in London, and signed by 1,800 planters. merchants, shipowners, mt. nufacturers, trailers, mortgagees, annuitants, and others, interested in the preservation of the West Indian ColonieQ. He was persuaded that he need not apprise the House of the respectability of the individuals who attended this meeting. and signed this petition, nor call to its attention the weight that was to be attached to their representatives as to the effects of the projected scheme of negro ernancip ition, which had been promulgan dby the Hon. Secretory. The petitioners wet e divided into two classes—trose who had a direct person II interest in the preservation of the West India colonies and who considered that toe effect of the measure would be to reduce them and their families to poverty and distress—( Hear, hear, hear)--and those win were not directly interested in the colonies—( Ilear)— but who addressed the House as persons who felt the benefits which had been derived from our colonial empire, and that its destruction would be fraught with ruin to the commerce, the naval greatness, and general and financial prosperity of the country. Ti,e petitioners only repeat the declarations of our enemies, who had al ways held our colonial empire to be the greatest source of our power. He joined in the hope the petitioners ex• pressed, that the House would do nothing to destroy that power.—The petition was then laid. upon the table. Mr. FOW ELL BUXTON, in rising to present petitions against slavery, from Inverness, Arbroath, Paisley, and other places, said he would not follow the example of the Right Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down, and Iliake a long speech. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The only observation he should make would be that the petitioners differed entirely from those who hid signed the petition presented by the Hon. Baronet. They did not consider men and women as chattels, to be bought and sold as commodities, to be put up to auction ; but as men and women having the same privileges and entitled to the sante consideration as himself. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL presented various peti tions from various parrs of Staffird.liire, against slavery. COLONIAL SLAVERY. The order of the day was then read for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Colonial Slavery question ; and on the motion that the Speaker do now leave the Chair, Sir R. VYVYAN rose to oppose the motion. Of all thequestions brought before the Legislature, none was more difficult than that on which the Horse was about to enter. Strong opinions, partly reli4ious, and partly arising from a philosophical view of the subject, were held by many. Many who had pursued the subject, for years with no ordi nary zeal, advocated the measures brought forward by Ministers, while others stated that they apprehended misery for tly_mselves and their posterity, if the Mini sterial plan were adopted.—(Hear.) Never in his opt pion was there a time or a question brought before the House, requiring so much forbearance. _ The principle of interference which the plan of Minis ters acknowledged, was any thing but calculated to accomplish the desired object. Rights of remote colonies had been attacked, great changes were to be effected, but he could not see the good that was to result from them. Tne colonies, whether in the West or East Indies, had no direct representation in that House ; but they had Members there, he was glad to say, who had their interests mixed up with their own, and who would sanction no acts of Government that would be to their disadvantage. _ It was true that the Honourable Member for Mid. dl.sex, when the Reform Bill was under discussion, had made a motion for the purpose of endeavouring to give direct representation to the colonies, but that, he was sorry to say, formed no part of the present Reform Bill. The inbabitanrs of Birmingham and Manchester had obtained that right on abstract principles, which was denied to the colonies. No measure was ever more tyran nical than than, and be, for one, should always say that nothing would be done for the colonies after denying them a voice in that House. They had foreseen wt at would be the consequence of this new constitution of Parliament ; and when the Assembly in Jamaica met they expressed their opinions en the subject in the answer which they made to the address of their new governor the Earl of Mulgrave. In that answer to the address, they showed that whatever might be the opinion existing in expressed their firm determination to adhere to the privi leges with which they bad been intrusted, and they pro tested against any violation on the part of the Legislature A' Great Britain of those rights of a-if-government which they had so long enj , yrd. They said, that "as this House [the House of Assembly in Jamaica] did not recog nise the resolutions of 1829, nor adroit the right of the House of Commons to legislate upon the internal affairs of the colonies, even when the colonies had the benefit of indirect representation in that House, they could not possibly admit that a House of Commons formed upon the principle of the actual representation of the people of England, and of them alone, could justly claim to legis late over them their equal and free fellow citizens, who had no voice in that flange." Several duclaritions had been made to a similar effect by the House ofA:.semtily in this country, they knew that the question of their rights would be brought before the House of Commons, and they believed that they should he sacrificed. They therefore Jamaica, when they knew that the Reform Bill was about to pa's, and that they would no longer be virtually repre cented within those walls. As might be expected, the Eirl of Mulgrave would not admit the principle contained in that address from the House of Assembly, or that he would think of complying with their wish to be treated as perfectly independent of the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain; he, therefore, answered, that it did not become him to enter in•o any discussion as to the principle which they supposed to govern the representation in Eng land, as it had been amended by the Reform Bill, hut he must deny that the colonists had ever had any re presentation in the House of Commons of England, as colonists ; the persons who had sat in that House, and who advocated their interests, had sat there as the representa tives of places in England, and might in the same manner hove seats there at present. This observation of the Noble Earl was not correct, for how happened it, that among the merchants sent to confer with the colonial office, there was not one who was a Member of that House. Where was Mr. Irving, who was well entitled, both on account of property and talent, to represent the interests of the co lonies—where was he? Not in the presest Parliament. —(Some Hon. Member sail across the table, that his part ner was in the House.) Yes, but he did not come in for the first time at the general election. Whatever might be the opinion of the Noble Earl, the Governor of Jamaica, it was very clear that at that moment they had among them no individuals directly connected with the West India interest. —(Hear, hear, hear.) He called on the House not to be over hasty in attempting to enfor:e their claim of legislative superiority, but to respect the rights of others, as they wished to preserve their own. He knew that on this point he was opposed by the opinion of the Right Hon. Gentleman; who seemed to think that Parliament could do nothing which should give the right of independent legislation to the colonies. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said that he knew of no self-denying ordinances. Mr. STANLEY said, that be wished tii set the Hon. Baronet right on this subject. The words he had used were—" 1 know of no limitation of the authority of Par liament, except that which Parliament itself has imposed." Sir R. VYVYAN asked what was the instance in which the limitation cf authority took place? Mr. STANLEY answered-1n the right of internal taxation. Sir R. VYVYAN—But what did that amount to? Did the Right Hon. Gentleman mean to say, that if Par liament should declare it did not mean to meddle with the right of internal taxation, Parliament could not afterwards withdraw that declaration. He wished to know distinctly from the Right Finn. Gentleman, whether the Parliament could not recall the restriction which it might once have imposed on itself. No one had ever asserted that the Par liament once having done a thing, could never alter its re solution. But at all events a delegated authority to another Legislature, ought to be indefeasible. That House itself originally existed in virtue of a ddegated authority. Magna Charta was granted to the Commons by King John, and confirmed by King Henry 1. Was not that a delegated authority ? That principle was settled long ago. Tie Right Honour dale Gentleman admitted that the Act of 1778 established an exception to the omnipotence of Parliament ; but was that the only exception? Was there no other instance in which the interterence of Parliament was unjustified? There was the case of Mr. Oatlis, in 1765. A feeling of discontent then existed in the colonies, but it was unac companied with any expressions of violence. The grounds of ri , roplaifit were, first, an interference with respect to irite.nal taxation ; next, a claim to levy troops in the colonies ; and lastly, to s. riff troops from Great Britain to the colonies, and to maintain them there as long us was deemed expedient by the executive in England. What were the the qu.-stionm on which the mother country hal hitherto interfered with the coloni•s? The Navigation Law was one question, and the Slave Trade was another; hut the continuance of slavery was merely a mitter ut internal regulation, to which the colonial legislatures were competent, awl of which they were the best judges. After adverting, in a luw voice, to the events of 1778, and to the conduct of Great Britain towards the United Stares at that period, the Hon Baronet adverted to what he maid had filen front the Hon. Member for Weymouth (Mr. F. Buxton), that it the planters of the West Indies dad n. , t quiely submit to the dictates of the mother country, they must he compelled by coercion. He (Sir R. Vyvy in) did not appri bend that they meant to make even the show of a resistance by violence ; hut, supposing Great Britain should attempt to tyrannize, was there no danger that our West India c•lonists might Ise driven to keep up a foreign correspondence, if they did not resort to fe.reien assist .nee? He meant to bold out no threat of the kind ; but it was in the power of the House to dopt measures of conciliation, and to meet the colonists half way. A precedent for calling in for aid, 'night be found in the instance of , he American war, when t h e fleets of France and Sp ,in swept the British Channel. He begged to call the attention of the House to the instruc tions given by the House of Assembly of Jamaica to the delegates sent over to this country. The first duty of these delegates (according to the document) was to inform Government truly of the real state of the slave population. It expressly stated that the object was not to hold out any threat of resistance, should emancipation be ultimately deemed necessary. Should the effect of emancipation be the total destruction of the property of the planters, the delegates were instructed to demand full compensation; but if, on the other hand, emancipation meant a gradual diminution of slave labour, then the delegates were to re quire compensation equivalent to the amount of labour of which the planters were deprived. The delegates were also instructed to protest, in the most decided manner, against any interposition by Parliament in the internal affairs of the colonies, and the document added, in con clusion, that the House of Assembly of Jamaica was always ready, on the invitation of the Crown, to discuss the measure of emancipation on the pt inciple of com pensation ; but the planters would not relinquish their rights or abandon their property, excepting upon compulsory violence. [The Hon. Baronet lead the conclusion of this sentence in so low a voice, that we cannot pretend to give the exact words.] He next adverted to the indirect interests involsod in this question, and in the prosperity of the West Indies, and which hail been so fully noticed at the late meeting at the Loudon Tavern. lie contended, that to all these ine vitable ruin would ensue from the plan of Ministers, it it were carried into eflaq. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Stanley) had complained of the increase in the produce of sugar in proportion to the diminution of the population ; hut be ought not to forget the great mart at present afforded by the West Indies for the manufactures of this country; the export of manufactures was usually in pro portion to the impart of sugar ; and if the import of sugar were lessened, the necessary consequence must be the les sening of the export of manufactures. If, too, the supply were reduced, the consumer at home would unavoi iably be driven to the Brazils, or other situations where sugar would still he raised by means of slave labour. One point was now quite clear frcm a paper published this morning that the abolitionists were satisfied with the Ministerial project. (The Hon. Baronet in this part of his speech, as in some others, was very imperfectly heard.) He ex pressed his regret that the Right Hon. Gentleman, in his speech introducing the plan, from misinformation, had erred in the statement of matters of fact of im. portance. Three of these misstatements he (Sir R Vyvyan) had already noticed ; and one of them was, that ny the law of Jamaica the evidence of a slave could not be token but with the permission of the master or minister. On this point he (Sir R. Vyvyan) might be mistaken ; but if he bad misheard the Right llonotirabe Gentleman others had misheard hiin also. Whatever might be the case in Antigua, such was not the fact in Jamaica. The Right Honour able Gentleman had also asserted, that a slave might receive the infliction of 39 lashes only for looking his master insolently in the face. Such, indeed, was the evi dence of Mr. Wildman, but it had been contradicte.l by no less than four witnesses, and all who were acquain•ed wit , • the colonies knew that the law was not as Mr. Wi'dinao had laid it down. A third error by the Right Hon. Gen. tleman was contained in the assertion, that if en proof 01 , xtrenie cruelty a slave ere manumitted, the value of the• slave was to be paid to the master. The contrary was tb , rutb, for the master was subjected to a flue of 1001. an no the payment of an annuity. This contra.iction shove , ~ ow unfairly prejudice had heen excited against the We India body. The Hon. Baronet then read a passage trot: Mr. Stanley's speech on tbs former uight, which related ,specially to the opposition p i4evctiogly offered to the measures of Government f o r th e ame li orat i on o f t h e con- dition of the slave population--a point which the Right Hon. Gentleman proved, by reference to Mr. Canning'.l re oluCons of 1823, which led t. Lord Bathurst's cir . cu ar—to the Order of Council of 18124—te th proceed ings in P.aliament of 1826—t0 Sir George Murray's circulars of 1828, and finally to the Order of Council of 1830. All these effects the Right Hon. Gentleman had contended had been rendered nugatory by the counter pr oceedines of the planters, and he had concluded that part if his subject by saying, that " the whole thing on the face of it was a mockery of the wishes and feelings of the mother country." This was a sweeping charg against a gr-at body of individuals, and laneua!e of that kind was not likely to conciliate the proprietors of the West Ind 'a islands. %Ir. STANLEY said slnitthittz acroas the table in ex planation, we suppose, of what he bad advanced, but it was quite inaudible. Sir R. VYVYAN proceeded to refute the assertion of C.e Right Hon. Gentleman upon several points ; and first, as to the admissibility of slave evidence. He maintained •hat it might be received in cases not adverted to by the Right lion. Gentleman; and if the law of Jamaica, or of ny other colony required that the testimony of two slaves should concur, in order to warrant a conviction, it wag no more than was thought necessary in this free country. No man could he found g u ilt y i n E ng l an d of part i cular crimes, and perjury was one of them, without the evi dence of two witnesses. In allowing the testimony of laves to be taken against the master or overseer, the colo nist in some cases bad even gone beyond what bad been equired of th Ge e n m tle t m oy the Mother anspo spoke of contracts Country. ofmarriage, When tbe ßight Hon. did he mean to say that the colonists had done nothing in aid of the exertions of the pious men who were labouring in the West Indies to produce a reform in the moral and religious habits of the negroee ? That, however, was merely a matter of internal regulation, which ought to be left to the lucal Legislatures. As to the separation of slaves at.d the prevention of the dismemberment of the families of degroes, it was not fair to draw general conclusions front particular instances. When it was said that magistrates n the West Indies were interested parties in questions re lat;l4, to slaves, he begged the House to look at home, and to remember, that in disputes between masters and ser. vants, magistrates,who were themsrlves masters, were often the judges. Partiality might as fairly be imputed to the one as to the other ; and he (Sir R. Vvvyan) did not believe that a tnagis rate in the Veit Indiee l because he .• was also a proprietor of slaves, was less likely to do justice to a slave than a magistrate of this country—because he was also a master of servants, to do justice to a servant. He wished to hear from anybody what general proof there was to the contrary. Isolated casts afforded no satisfactory evidence, although it might be convenient to use them for the purpose of harrowing and exciting the feelings (Hear, hear.) After referring to some official documents, the exact purport of which it was difficult to col. lect, from the tone of voice in which the Honour able Baronet occasionally spoke, he proceeded to con tend that those documents proved, in a manner perfectly . . incontrovertible, that the condition of the slaves in our West India colonies was infinitely better than the pea santry, not to siy in Ireland, but than were the weavers in Scotland ; and that many of the working classes in various pats of Europe, were by no means so favourably circumstanced. He felt satisfied that no person connected with our West Indies, or possessing the slightest know ledge of our colonial possessions there, would for a mo ment deny, that in the present state of the information possessed by the Legislature, they were proceeding very much in the dark. It was in vain to attempt any denial of that ; and then he would gladly learn with what in .._ tention did his Majesty's Government refuse to receive evidence respecting the state of our West India colonies upon oath—it was only before the Committee of the House of Lards, that evidence upon oath could be obtained ; then, upon what grounds was it that there happened .o be a refusal to admit testimony accompanied by that solemn sanction ? He would say that, practically, Govern ment had refused that Committee. There bad been for a considerable time negotiations going forward between the West Indic body and the Government, and in consequence of the representations of the latter, the former agreed to postpone the Committee; and now the result was, that the present measure came before Parliament without any thing like that full acquaintance with the facts bearing upon the question, which they ought to posses b f.re legislating upon a subject of such magnitude and import ance. To take but a single instance.—there was Lord Bel more, the last Governor or Jamaica; he might be examined, and his testimony, no doubt, wined prove of the greatest value ; and yet the West India body were deprived of the ujiportunity of having his Lordship examined before a Committee of the other House. Not only were they le. gislating in the dark, but they were legislating under in fluence that ought nut to be exerted under any circum s ante', and. least of all, under circumstances like the present. There had that morning a paper been put into his hands, which he had no doubt had also been put into the hands of other Hon. Members; it was a declaration of the Anti-Slavery Society, in which they pledged themselves to the support of Government in the event of the influence of the crown being thrown in to support their views in reference to the question of West India Slavery. The West India body, too, had reason to com plain that they were taken by surprise, and called upon on a sudden to act, without a moment allowed them in hich to communicate with the Colonial Legislatures. He would s-k the House, were they prepared to say that they would give the Colonial Legislatures no time fir de i oeration in the colonies? In saying this, he thought it right to call the arention of the House to this, that emancipa tion in the abstract had been a principle admitted, and that even the West India body had gone Int ther, and admitted that the time had arrived when emancipation should no longer be delayed. It ri , oi right to have it distinctly un !erstood that both those principl s were admitted by the Colonial Legislatures.—( Hear.) It had been contended that Christianity and slavery were incompatible ; that was certainly a mistake, fur nothing could he more evident than that Christianity and slavery were compatible. From everything that he could Imp, the plan of his Majesty's Government would not only excite the strongest feeling of hostility in the West India body, but it would not satisfy the Anti-Slavery Society. Though they had nominally given in their adherence, there were fusdatnen al prin ciples in the plan of the Government to which they could never agree—at least consistently with their avowed prin ciples. If he knew anything of them, be would say, that they never could be brought to believe that a man was otherwise than a slave so long as be was compelled to give to another three-parts of his labour, when lose than the remaining part would be suffieient in such a climate and with such a soil as the negro might have in the West Indies. He had already called the attention of the House to the species of dictation used towards Members of that House—a recent instance of it had come under his ob servation. A letter had that morning been receiyed by a Member of that House—he would nut mention names, neither would he say from what constituency it pro ceeded—but it called upon the Hon. Member to whom it was addressed, to wait upon a Noble Lord oppo site (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), to urge upon him the necessity of remodelling the Btil introduced into the Hou-e of Commons, so a. to effect the entire aid immediate emancipation of the negroes ; and if his Ma jesty's Ministers would not agree to that which alone coo d prove satisfactory to the friends of hum nity, they entreated him to attend in his place and support any mea sures having those objects in view. —(Hear, hear ) Ile cool i not proceed further without again referring to the neglect of those means which were within their reach of obtaining information from evidence on oath. Neither could he avoid calling their attention to that which must be considered the forerunner of their late, if they yielded then to the dictation of the Anti-slavery Suciety—be al luded to St. Domingo, where emancipation was effected by violence—where property sad file were alike disre. garthd, and where an Agrarian law was, iu the first in-, -tance, established. The Hun. Baronet then alluded to the great interests that were at stake—box the proposed measure would affect property, and to what a rad extent commerce and shipping would be affected. He would conclude by expressing an anxious desire, that when the Gentlemen of that House, and when Minister, themselves, reflected on the subject—when they hearkened to the voice of the numerous merchants and individuals, all unani mous in their opinion, they would make haste to recon sider their plan. He would move no rt solution, he would not oppose the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, nut he could not refrain from expressing his sentuneuts upon the subject. Mr. STANLEY hoped the Hon. Baronet would not think him wanting in courtesy, it, fur the prevent, he svithbeld the objections he had to uasku to the Hoe, Baronet's sentiments. He would move no amendment, but, as before, move that the House go into C.EngPi"re.,_ In Committ e e was the m os t p ro p e r pl a c e to discuss all "." j,ctions that might be made to the proposed plan.
