FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We do not think it can fairly be denied that some measure of consideration is due to an interest which re cent legislation has placed in its present difficulties. We have no particular tenderness for the West India interest ; but neither can we allow ourselves to be transported by any antipathy to it, nor by any exclusive devotion to the single principle of free trade, to treat that interest with less justice than should regulate all transactions between man and man. The only question is, in what shape that justice can be afforded them ; and it is quite evident it cannot be afforded in the shape of a perpetual monopoly of their decreasing pro ducts. The difficulties of the West India colonies collectively began with the abolition—not of slavery, but the slave-trade. Before that epoch, they not only brought large revenues to our treasury, but large contributions to our trade of export. There could be no .complaint then of monopoly ; and there would be no complaint now, if Demerara had gone on driving the Maya trade, and bringing under culture her vast tracts of yet virgin fertility. This certainly constitutes a case for considerate treat ment of that colonial interest, which our own measures alone prevented from continuing.te afford large contribution's to our commerce and finance. All that we now seek from foreign commerce in this article, colonial commerce would i i have given us ; our legislation deprived ourselves of it ; and the 'West Indians certainly have some colour for complaining that their invested capital should be the sole and total seen -34 flee of our scruples ; and that those scru pl es , h av i ng ope , rated to deprive them of labour, should now be silenced, in favour of trading with their competitors, whose sole advantage over them is labour. This certainly seems a hard case ; and it is a hard case ; but harder still would be the case of the people of England, if they must go on, for an in definite period, submitting to starved markets of a prime , necessary. Enlightened rulers sho u ld have foreseen, 72 from the very hour of abolishing the slave trade, the difficulties and necessities which have come thicken ing on us ever since. Enlightened slave owners (if that were not apt to be scarce less than a contradic tion in terms) should have foreseeu from that very hour, and should have advanced to meet abolition of slavery. They should have told the trade-abolishing Government—You are henceforth- responsible for the culture of these colonies. % You are responsible for opening future sources for supply ing that labour whose past source• you have stopped. We give up the notion of upholding slavery ; we can no longer make it productive in the degree which is necessary for working the resources of these regions. Be sides, we are sure you will put an end to it; as you have already put an end to its reinforcement. Give slavery the coup de grace—take the transition on your shoulders—orga nise the regimen you would substitute. Or else, take on yourselves the loss of the whole capital sunk in these sugar colonies ; compensate u', as equity dictates ; look to foreigners for supplies, and don't look how they raise them. We will 5 leave the islands and mainlands to the negroes ; and let them barbarise or civilise on them—as in Hayti. If the . planters had possessed calmness and f ores i g ht t o i m p ose thi s t 3 alternative on the home Government, we do not see how Government could have refused the responsibility, which really belonged to them, of initiating a new industrial regi .men—or else confessing they could not do it—which would 1 ' have reduced to absu r dity th e ac t o f a b o li s hi ng our slave ,4 trade. For clearly, if that act was to land us in our pre sent necessity -of going for supplies (directly or indirectly) to other slave traders, it must have been worse than useless— worse than useless by the whole amount of the sunk capital ' sacrificed in our West Indies.. We do not here take account 36 if the well.founded abhorrence which led us to abolish the - slave-trade—because, if our West Indians . did not feel that abhorrence, we might have consigned them to self-government and self-protection,—which they might have defrayed out of the taxes we levied on their products, and which we should have remitted. ,$ it It will hardly be said, that if we had had distinct fore '34 knowledge that we must needs buy sugar of some slave dealers, there was common sense in abolishing the trade of 36 some, to promote that of others. Therefore we say there was not common sense in our measures of that period. Not that ,% the. slave-trade should have been tolerated under the British Government ; but that the British Government should have N held itself answerable to provide s ome substitute for its use. ,'„,'4 - And this responsibility sho u ld h av e b e en imposed on our 71 Government by the planters ; and aided by them. Instead of , this, they stiffened themselves against all interference. They A contented themselves with mere resistance to the inevitable ;% consummation of abolition of slavery. But even the main tenance of slavery could not have maintained adequate , powers of production.- In Demerara particularly, the slave population rapidly decreased from the period of slave-trade ', abolition. The stoppage of the previous source of supply of ''.'• labour caused the over-working .of the slaves, and the de ai crease of their numbers. l STANDARD.—TweIve years ago this country abolished 13,, negro slavery—a great act of justice and .of mercy, but an 1 act which involved a vast present sacrifice, without any 34 definite prospect of compensation, however distant; but what ' has been the effect ? The first effect, and beyond doubt an undesigned one, has been to paralyse completely and for ever the power of our most formidable western rival, to in ; jure the British empire. The second effect has been to bind ! still more closely to the metropolitan state, by the link' of a profitable trade, the vast empire of India. Another effect, ' now opening to view, is a like commercial connexion with the ,% still larger and richer empire of China. This has been the re- I ward of justice to the negro—a reward of any part of which no one dreamed twelve years ago. Now, however, we are called upon for another act of justice, or rather to resist ex an act of gross injustice. The emancipation of the negro fell heavily upon his owner: the loss was in part compensated, but in part only, by a munificent grant of twenty millions; but the injury was of that kind which 100 millions could no t repair. The Emancipation Act did not take away merely the planter's servant, it took away his estate, and all the capi tal stink upon that estate. Lands cannot be cultivated or works carried on without labourers, and if you take away the labeurera, you, in effect, takeaway the lands and the works ; 4 and - less . than .the- fee.simple of the lands and the 634 whole price of the works will not compensate the owner. 7 Such has been to a great extent the effect of the Emancipa -5 thin Act upon the West India planters.' They cannot all 4i4 get labourers at any price, and we have heard and 934 believe that the few who can ge t th em , are o f ten compelled to pay at the rate of one shilling per 2 14 hour. Now, to admit the competition of slave labour with men so circumstanced must be in i stant ruin, and even to admit tho competition of free O labour of countries less burthened and more populous would 4 be almost as unjust, yet this is what has been proposed by O the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers, by Mr. Ewart and Mr. Roe -3 buck ; and firmly to resist the propositions of these persons is 6 e the vindication of j ustice for which the occasion calls. England ?Ni is as much bound to protect the West India planters as she is to protect the natives of Great Britain. It has been ! said that the twenty millions was the price of negro emanci pation; and that the planters, having had their money, have i no further claim. This is, however, a false view of the trans i action-of .1832. That, was not a bargain between equals, in ) which one could demand and the other pay a price. It ) r was an' arrangement' iniposed by a strong party upon i a party unable to resist, but which was most de sirous to resist ; and the stronger party took upon itself solely to award the amount of compen '2g cation, which therefore can be in no sense regarded as a price, binding the weaker to any arrangement. The compensation has proved wholly inadequate to the injury, and it now reverts to those who inflicted the injury to supply the ; deficiency. We have no right to arrogate the praise of abolish -6 ing slavery, if we are unwilling to pay the last penny of the 0 cost. It is idle and fallacious to talk of our twenty millions, 7 if the cost to the planters has been twice twenty millions 5 5 more. We must not, as the phrase is, " ride to h eaven upon 6 another man's horse." No round sum of money that any one could dare to name is, in fact, sufficient to compensate the West India planter.: If we are just, we will compensat e hi m by pro -2U 3 tectin b e his industry, the only way in which we can com p ensate I him. The measure of protection is a question into which we 1% are not competent to enter. If excessive, it would but serve to 55t enhance the extravagant rate of wages in the West Indies, as I I there the labourers are masters ;if deficient, it would be a fraud, 3 for an insufficient protection is in fact no protection. What l we contend fur is the principle of real protection, and to apply 1 34 this principle is, we maintain, necessary to justi ce . R e t urn i ng 8 to the point from which we set out, we hold that in this and 2% pli every other case, to "be just and fear not" is the true ) wisdom. Let us treat the West Indians with justice, and we know from experience that, sooner or later, they , pv will repay us tenfold. How, we do not pretend to conjec eg ture. It may be that the islands will, by a multipli ca ti on o f 1 g the people from natural increase, or by emigration from the I% neighbouring slave states, or by drafts from civilised Africa, 7% 7% again exhibit an universal cultivation. Our readers are 7 aware that we look to the civilisation of the west coast of r i Africa as the most promising source of supply, and to d§ civilise that coast would, lik e a ll th e wor k s o f mercy, b e 8 7 .2 " twice blessed, blessing him that gives, and him to whom it is given." 44% 12 1 4 COURSE OF EXCIII Amsterdam CF. 12 6 Ditto, at sight l2 4 4, Rotterdam 9 U l2 6i 83 i Antwerp 8 % Llamburgh M.B. 13 14 5g6 Altona l3 144 sy' Paris, 3 days' sight 25 65 3i Ditto, 3 mouths 25 85 3 Marseilles Bourdeaux 25 90 Frankfort on Mainc, l2lk 1 3 4 Petersburgh, 3Cs 364 !

This afternoon Bengal Rice met with less attention, and 1,500 bags at auction were all taken in at IN 6d to lls for mid white, being rather under former rates. CocoA.-British Plantation has met with little attention, and prices are still on the decline. This afternoon there was a fair business transacted privately in Ceylon Coffee at 49s to 50s per cwt for good ordinary; there was no public sale.

CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas completes his fifteenth year of judicial office to-day, and is consequently entitled to claim a full re tiring pension; but this learned and excellent judge has no idea at present of resigning the office be has so long orna mented. THE FIRST WHALER FROM HAMBURGH.—A Ham burgh correspondent writes on the 30th ult. :—" The first whaler ever fitted out at this port has just sailed for the South Polar Seas. She is called the Anseat, and measures 650 tons. The entire crew have engaged to abstain from all spirituous liquors during the voyage, and to be content with two rations of coffee a day. It appears that temperance is much more necessary on board whalers than any other ships ; it hating b een prove d b y exper i ence that nine -tenths of the diseases and deaths on board the Danish and Swedish whalers have been caused by the excessive use of spirituous liquors." At Stockingford, the other day, for a wager of a shilling, a woman ate a peck of radishes, with a pound of bread and butter, and ale ad libitum, in half an hour. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock. The Bishop of SALISBURY presented petitions against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. Similar petitions were presented by the Earl of Gal loway, the Earl of Devon, and the Bishop 'of Exeter. , The Bishop of EXETER postponed from Thursday to Friday the second reading of the Brothels Suppres sion Bill. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES BILL. In answer to a question from Mr. BOUVEJUE, re- 1 specting the Presbyterian Marriages Bill, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Bill was now in pro gress through the House of Lords ; and he had a com munication from the Lord Chancellor to the effect, that the Bill would shortly arrive in this House. Mr. GROGAN gave notice of his intention to bring in a Bill to regulate the payment of Coroners in Ireland. Mr. JAMES rose, and said that he hoped he might be permitted to make a few observations on this ques tion ; first, because he did not often trouble the House ; secondly, because there had not been a full discussion on the second reading - ; and, thirdly, because he was one of those unfortunate beings called a West India planter, not through any fault of his own, but because, some cen turies ago, an ancestor of his was encouraged by the Go vernment of that day to invest money in the purchase of a West India estate in the Wand of Jamaica, and who expected that future Governments would not legislate to injure, much less to destroy the value of, their property. He proposed, in the first place, to take the opportunity of expressing his conviction that few Members of the House were really acquainted with the exact facts of the case, or with the unfortunate condition in which the West Indian interests were now placed. He thought he could best illustrate their condition by his own situation, and that was peculiarly favour able as regard e d the cultivation of West Indian property, for he was not exactly in- the light of an absentee proprietor, having a son residing in the country who was acquainted with the business, and also an over seer, who had resided there several years, and was thoroughly acquainted with the mode of cultivating sugar. There were no mortgages on the property, and lie had no occasion, as many had, to employ merchants and pay them two-and-a-half per cent. He had only to pay a commission broker. Now what was his case ? Every pound of sugar he imported from Jamaica, taking an average of three years, cost him 4d. in the production and transport. What happened when it arrived in this country? The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately put a tax of 3d. per lb. on it, thus making •the price 7d. A great deal had been said about the dearness of sugar, but all he had been able to get for his sugar was 6%d. per lb., thus losing lb. or 500/. on every 10' hogsheads of sugar. This was not a very pleasant position to be in, with regard to pro perty' which, during the existence of slavery, was worth 3,0001. a year, and, during the apprentice ship system, half that sum, and he had done everything to diminish the cost of cultivation. What was the cause of this mischievous state of things? Was it not the existence of a tax of 3d. upon their staple commodity, sugar ; and nearly a prohibitory tax upon rum ? Let it not be forgotten that these taxes were proposed by Mr. Pitt expressly as war taxes. Any gentleman who would refer to the debates of that day, would find that Mr. Pitt premised when the sugar duties were imposed that they should be the very first to be taken off whenever peace was established ; and yet there they were, nearly thirty years after the commencement of the peace, and the taxes remained precisely the same. They had heard a great deal about the 20,000,0001. He had more than once said, that although a very munificent gift, it was but a small compensation to the West Indian planters for the loss which they sus tained. He would like to know how gentlemen in that House would feel, if after their property had been ruined by the repeal of the corn-laws, the Hon. Member for Stockport should rise and propose to give them 2s. 6d. in the pound as compensation ? They took from -them their slaves, and up to that time they threw every possible impediment in the way of their availing themselves of free labour. They had been asked, why, if they lost by their estates, they did not abandon their cultivation ? They had not abandoned the cultivation up to that time,Lbecause they relied upon the justice and the sympathy of the Members of that House, and he would fain hope that they did not altogether rely upon a broken reed. He did not hesitate to say, that many of the proprietors in Jamaica had been 'treated more cruelly than the slaves had ever been treated. ' The slaves had always had a supply of good and wholesome food, whilst, by the legislation of that House,' proprietors were rendered destitute. Did any one believe. that if they were as powerful as the landed interest such measures would be proposed as were then under conside ration ? He was sorry to see the great discouragement which had been given to their interest by the change of opinion on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. As to the opposition of the Honourable Member for Dumfries, he did -not con sider it very formidable • for he brought forward such wild, extravag an t, and ultra views on all sorts of subjects, that he really did not think any rational person could coincide in his views. —(Hear, hear.) He regretted the course pursued by his Noble Friend the Member for the City of London. What he chiefly complained of in his Noble Friend was, that he did not come forward at the same time to propose the repeal of the Emancipation Act. If they were to have slave labour sugar admitted into this country, let that Act be repealed. To give an advantage to slave countries which was not possessed by their own . colonies, did appear to him to be a course of legislation which was calculated to make them the laughing-stock of every nation in the world. If they really wished to benefit the people of England, it could only be effected justly in one way; that was by diminishing 'the costs of production in their own colonies, and gradually reducing the tax. Let them only have plenty of free labour, reduce the tax on colonial sugar from 245. to 12s. •, by that means they would do ample justice to the West Indians, and confer an important benefit on the people of 'England, whilst at the same time they would suffer noloss, but would ob tain a gain on the revenue by the largely increased consumption that would take place. He would not say anything more, for he had almost given up: the case as hopeless. Mr. EWART said his Hon. Friend had charged him with asserting rash propositions; lie tholight his' Hon. Friend ought to recollect that these propositions had been made year after year. He maintained that the commerce and manufactures of the people of this country were affected by the discriminating defies which his Hon. Friend had attempted to defend. His Hon. Friend there fore came into court not as plaintiff, but as defendant. He (Mr. Ewart) certainly could net understand the conduct of those Hon. Members whom he considered to be represented by the Hon. Geutleman who had last addressed the House (Mr. James). Were they, then, actually coming down to that House to protect and uphold the system of monopoly ? There was, however, a want of, skill as well as a degree , of partiality in the conduct of this class of Members • who now came down to make common cause withAhe monopolists. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. James) had-made an attack on the Right Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir' R. Peel), which it would have been better to refrain from. It was easy to rake up speeches delivered over a course of many years, and to cavil at them ; but for his (Mr. Ewart's) part, he thought it the duty of a Prime Minister to watch opinion as it advanced, and to endeavour to keep pace with it, and glad was he to find that, however slowly, the Right Honourable Baronet was disposed to move onwards. The question how ever, now before the House was, whether one part of our colonies was to be benefited at the expense of the general well-being of the country. Such a system would be, in fact, ultimately injurious to the planters theinselvee. No worse policy could be pursued than that of retaining those differential disties. Throw open the sugar trade, and the general commerce f the country would be Increased to an almost illimitable extent. No measure, except that of the repeal of the corn-laws, would do so much good, as placing the sugar trade on a proper foundation. What he (Mr. Ewart) wished to see done was this—to reduce the duty to what it was before the war, to what it was, for example, in the year 1790. Then the duty l ev i e d on sugar was 12s. 4 d . per cwt. Unless they reduced the duties upon sugar so low as to increase the consumption among the labouring classes, they would do nothing. The real consumers of all commodities were the labouring classes. He would re mind the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it had been shown before the Select Committee that nineteen twentieths of the tobacco consumed in the country was consumed by the labouring classes—(Hear, hear)—and he would venture to say, that the consumption of tea and coffee was in the same propor tion. Unless they could bring the price of sugar down to fourpence per pound, they would do nothing. The rich consumed from 601 b. to 701 b. of sugar per head per annum, and the poor only 71b. The rich amounted to 5,000,000, the poor to 23,000,000 ; thus, the power of' consumption of 23,000,000 persons re mained undeveloped. A great quantity of sugar wee formerly consumed in Ireland, but at present, owing to the high duty, the consumption in Ireland had diminished to art average of 71b. per head per annum, in stead of an average of 2 lib. per head per annum, as was the case in England. In consequence of the high duty, adulteration took place to a very great extent, and the peer man, who consumed the muscovado sugar, suffered exclusively from those adulterations, for the rich man consumed only refined sugar. With regard to the West Indian interests, the more honest course would be to let them know the worst at once.—(Hear.) The false support on which they had heretofore leant could not last more than a few years, and his Hon. Friend would find that out. It would be better for the West India interest to come to a wise compromise in time, for it was beyond all doubt that the present false system could not last, and his Hon. Friend had proved it was injurious to the West India interest itself. They were in a false position, out of which it was their wish to extricate them. It was a remarkable circumstance; that the foreign trade had increased in a much greater proportion than the colonial trade. Let them look to the case of Bristol and Liverpool. The former was dependent on a colonial trade, and had not ad vanced, while Liverpool, which had extended its trade to all parts of the world, had made rapid advances. It was the same with regard to Havre and Bordeaux, the latter of which depended on the old colonial system. He had certainly once introduced to the House a pro oosal for extendin g th e cu l t i vation of free labour sugar, ut it was rather to agitate the question than with any idea of its adoption. For his own part, he regarded commerce as the great emancipator. He maintained that the real way to bring this question to an issue, was to throw open the markets to the pro duce of the world, and allow free labour and slave labour produce to come at once boldly into conflict in the market of this country. This would be the conclu sion to which they would have to come at last. He be lieved, too, that the • planters - themselves would be bene fited by this. He admitted that they had been injured by the legislation of this country, which had restricted. their commerce, and he wished to see that system of legis lation abolished. If the colonies were to be an integral portion of this country, the colonists ought to be treated as the inhabitants of this country were treated. His Hon. Friend had complained of a deficiency of labour in the West Indies. Why, let the trade be thrown open to the world, and this evil would soon remedy itself. The energies of our colonies would never be developed, un less they were subjected to full and fair competition. He wished to bring this subject to some definite point, and to ascertain, by a division, whether the House was will ing to equalise the duty on foreign and colonial sugar, or not. If he did not succeed in inducing the House to abolish the differential duty, then he would propose, as an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Member for Bristol, that these differential duties should expire at the end of a year. By equalising the duties they might SANITORY CONDITION OF THE POOR, The Marquis of ICORMASTEIYTos;;;asit when the report respecting the sanitory condition of the poor would be ready fOr presentation, and also whether the report would contain any recommendation of a plan to remedy the evils which were now complained of. It was absolutely necessary that some step should be taken to meet the existing evils ; for such was the con dition of the poor a; present, that annually as many as 50,000 persons died of fever, arising from the condition of their dwellings. 'lt appeared from the evidence of Mr. Lewis, a minister of a parish in Dundee, that the an nual cost to that town, in consequence of the prevalence of fever arising from the condition of the poor, NI as 25,0001. The subject demanded the greatest consideration of Par liament. The information that was necessary might have been acquired in a quarter of the time that the Go vernment had taker. He now wished to ask when the report would be presented to Parliament, whether any remedial measure would .be proposed, and whether the Metropolitan Buildings Act would be carried forward this session ? The l)uke of BUCCLEUCH was sensible that there were a great may evils in the old and the continued modes of building new towns, but there was a great diffi culty in finding out what the remedies might be. A bill had been brought in for the improvement of the town of Leeds, but it fell a dead letter in their Lordship's House. The papers which the Noble Marquis wished to have, could not be presented within a few days, and he did not think it was possible in this session to introduce such a measure. The Marquis of NORMANBY heard the statement of his Noble Friend with extreme regret. He had ex pected that the case of Leeds would have formed the foundation of h Government measure. He could only repeat that he thought • that a very great deal of time had been wasted in considering that subject ; and he thought, even with the Noble Duke's explanation, that more might have been done, with efficient lacal manage ment, in the case he had cited. SEES OF BANGOR AND ST. ASAPH. Earl YOWLS, after presenting several petitions against the union of the Sees of Bangor and St. Asaph, said that he never, on any occasion, approached a question with such great anxiety as he did on that occasion, for he felt much on the subject matter of the petitions he had just presented. On this important church question he was sorry to find himself opposed to a Noble Lord and a Right Rev Prelate, whose weight and character in their Lordships' House made it difficult for him singly to bring that subject under their notice. It little became him to waste their Lordships' time by making any apology for thus ocupying a little of their attention, and he would therefore as briefly and as satisfac torily as possible, hoping, at the same time, that their Lord ships would extend to him that favour which he had always experienced. He would follow up the petitions he had presented by reading a letter he had received from an individual intimately conversant with the matter before them.—(His Lordship then read the letter, which supported the prayer of the petitions.) He thought they ought to listen to the remonstrances of the people of North Wales against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, showing that shortly after the union of the sees of Sodor and Man and Carlisle, the people who were affected by it resisted it, and the Act for the union of those sees was, in consequence, repealed. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. HASTINGS RAILWAY. Mr. CURTEIS - moved - that the South-Eastern and Hastings Railway Bill be recommitted to the former Committee to whom the same was referred, and that it be an instruction to such Committee,' that they have power, if they think fit, to rescind their resolution on the preamble of the said Bill, and to consider the ex pediency of allowing the same to pass, for the purpose of authorising the making of a railway from the South- Eastern Railway to Rye only. Mr. VILLIERS STUART thought it inexpedient to re-open the question which had been decided by the Committee. Mr. CRIPPS, as Chairman of the Committee, was ready again to go into the question if the House should think fit. Mr. ESTCOURT thought the House could not en tertain the question in its present shape. To attain the object which the Hon. Gentleman had in view, the Com pany must give fresh notices, as for a new Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE trusted that after what had been stated by the Hon. Member for Oxford, the Hon. Mem ber would not press it to a division. He thought the proceedings were calculated to destroy all confidence in the proceedings of the House. After some discussion, Mr. CURTEIS withdrew his motion. Petitions were presented by various Members for and against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, and against the union of the - sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented several petitions against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. Mr. ROSS presented petitions from certain places in the county of Down, in favour of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. The report of the Manchester Bonding Warehouses Bill was further taken into consideration, pro forma only. NESS FISHERIES BILL. Mr. BAILLIE moved the third reading of the Ness Fisheries Bill. Mr. WALLACE objected to the House proceeding any further with the Bill, and contended that a general measure was the only legitimate way of legislating in such Matters, The attempt which which was now made to appropriate this public fishery to private purposes, had been unsuccessful on a former occasion, and would, he trusted,. be so now. In his (Mr. Wallace's) opibion the fisheries of England were national property, and con sidering that the present was an attempt to appropriate such property to private and personal purposes, he begged to move that the Bill be " read a third time that day six months." Mr. MACKENZIE seconded the amendment. He was afraid this Bill was,but the commencement of a system for applying the same-principle to other rivers. Mr. P. M. STEWART hoped the Hon. Member for Inverness would persist in asking the House to carry . this Bill. The river Ness was a pe culiar river, and this Bill merely gave power that the fish might' be taken when they were best in quality ar:d most abundant. He could not, therefore, see what the public grounds were on which his Hon. Friend opposed it. It was not denied that under the present law as applicable to the river Ness, the fish of it were out of season.i Mr. BAILLIE thought the objection to the Bill vas altogether a technical one, and he trusted, therefore, that the House would unanimously support it. Mr. 11. DRUMMOND opposed the Bill. He believed it would be both for the general interest, and the interest of the parties, that it should be thrown out. Mr. ELLICE, jun, said the Bill was founded on the Annan Fishery Bill, passed about three years ago. Every proprietor on the Ness had given his consent to the Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE opposed the Bill. After a few observations from Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. LlbDtm., strangers were ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the third reading.. 59 Against it 5O Majority .......... The Bill was then read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. _ _ Mr. CHRISTIE rave notice ofajnotion for the 9th of July on the subject of the Danish claims.ll, • • Mr. HUME postponed his motion on the subject of the Royal Academy, until the 9th of July. Mr. WYSE gave notice that, on the 9th of July, he should submit a motion to the House on the subject of the University of Dublin and the College of Maynooth. Dr. BOWRING postponed to Tuesday next his mo tion on the present mode of keeping the public accounts. The same HON. GENTLEMAN then repeated the ques tion which he had put last evening to the Noble Lord the Secretary foi. the Colonies, on the subject of an asserted recent o ccurrenc e at the Island of St. Helena. The Hon. Gentleman read a very long statement from a newspaper, but in bo indistinct a tone as to be almost wholly inaudible in the gallery. As far as we could catch his meaning, however, we understood the Hon. Gentleman to say that two prizes crowded with Africans had arrived at St. Helena—that in both the vessels dysentery was raging to an alarming extent ; that the two cargoes were compressed into one vessel, and in this state sent on to the Cape ; and that during the voyage there had been a frightful loss of life amongst the captured negroes. Lord STANLEY said he was sorry to be obliged to allow that to a certain extent the statement just read by the Hon. Gentleman was correct, for there had been a considerable mortality amongst the Africans, though not to the number stated. Out of 337 of these slaves, eighteen only died on the voyage from St. Helena to. the Cape, and twenty after reaching that place. He thought that it would be right to state to the House the precise circumstances of the case. A great number of slave vessels were brought into St. Helena, but great complaints were made of the expense occasioned by this, when there was no accom modation or means of employment for the negroes when they arrived. In consequence of this, in structions were given, that vessels should be taken to Sierra Leone, or the Cape, or some port where employment could be afforded the negroes when they arrived. It appeared from the statement of the Governor of St. Helena, that the Arrow put in to the island in December, 1843, for the purpose of get ting water, and the vessel having been supplied with water, she was sent to the. Cape. The instructions issued on this subject was, that all vessels should proceed to the Cape or Sierra Leone, and should not go to St. Helena, except in cases of emergency, and this arose in consequence of there being no means of employment for the negroes on the island. Dr. BOWRING; expressed a hope that an asylum would be erected to meetcases of such emergency as this. Lord PALMERSTON wished to know from the Noble Lord whether the Governor confirmed the statement which aas published as to the condition the negroes were in when they arrived. Lord STANLEY said the statement of the Governor i was that the vess e l h a d put i n to get water. He did not say that the crew were i n so s i c kly a condition as to pre vent their proc ee d, ng from the island. IRISH REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the Government had last night promised - some information on the subject of the Irish Registration Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He begged now to ask when it was intended to bring on the second read in of the Irish Registration Bill? Sir JAMES 'GRAHAM said he was " empowered to state to the Hon. Gentleman, that her Majesty's Go vernment proposed to fix the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill for Monday, the Ist of July. Upon that day the Government would, if the progress of other Bills permitted, take the sense of the House on the second reading of that Bill. It was also their inten tion to take the Committee on the Dissenters Chapels Bill on Monday next, and on Thursday se'nuight the Committee on the Poor-laws. Mr. WYSE inquired when the Government intended to proceed with the Irish Municipal Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM said shortly after the second read ing of the Irish Registration Bill.• Mr.'BORTHWICK said that as the Right Honour able Gentleman had fixed the discussion of the poor law for Thursday se'nnight, he begged to give notice that be should not, as he had intended, move for leave to bring in a Bill on that subject, but merely move a resolution, as an amendment to the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. ANATOMY ACT. The HoN. MEMBER then presented several petitions, praying for the appointment of a Committee to inquiie into the operation of the Anatomy Act. Petitions to the same effect were likewise presented by Mr. Mintz ' Mr. Fitzstephen French, M r . Sh arman Crawford, and Mr. Hardy. Mr. PETER BORTH WICK u as sensible of the great interest which was attached to the motion of which the Hon.. Member for Sheffield had given notice, and he would show how much he participated in that feeling by being as brief as possible in the obscrva , tions with which he intended to preface his motion. He brought forward this motion both on public and private grounds. He would at once admit that it was necessary for medical science that anatomical investigatians should take place—that was a point which he would not dispute. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IRELAND. . MR. O'CONNELL.—MEETING IN BELFAST. DUBLIN, Awn 9.—A very numerous and highly important meeting of the Reformers of Belfast was held in the Theatre of that town, on Friday, " to consider the propriety of adopt ing resolutions, and an address to Mr. O'Connell, with refe•' rence to the State trials." James Grimshaw, Esq., presided. JAMES CAMPBELL, Esq., proposed the first resolution. He said—l am no repealer. I did not approve of the monster meetings, but neither do I approve of the recent measure of the Government. I think the Government was wrong in the whole tenor of its proceedings, from first to last. If the meeting of Clontarf was illegal, so was that of Mullaghmast, so was every other which preceded it, and yet no steps were taken to suppress them. With regard to the Government, they have began with prosecution, but ended with persecu tion.—(Loud applause.) That a man should be incarcerated while his guilt is yet undecided, and ere the higher tribunal before which such decision is to take place has sat upon the question, is; gentlemen, a circumstance which should make us alarmed for our own liberties.—(Cheers.) J. T..TENNENT, Esq., proposed the next resolution. He said—Gentlemen, I perfectly%gree with the judges in their definition of conspiracy ; I do not question the accuracy with which they have declared the law; but I have been, from a very early period of my life, engaged both on record and Crown cases, as a juror, and I tell you that had I . been one of Mr. O'Connell's jury I would, assuredly. have de clared him innocent of the crime of conspiracy.—(Tremendous applause.) In my conscience, I do not believe that Mr. O'Connell, or his associates, ever conspired to do one illegal act.—(Loud cheers.) The consent of many men to meet and petition for the repeal of a law which they consider op pressive, cannot be construed into conspiracy. There must be some proof that they laid their heads together to break the law. Gentlemen, the right by which we are here assem bled to-night, is one which, I trust, we are all resolved never to surrender except with our lives.—(Tremendous applause.) _ h. J. TENNENT, Esq., D. L., in proposing an address to Mr. O'Connell, said—Such an event as has lately happened calls for the condemnation not only of every friend of civil and religious liberty, but of every man, be he Catholic, Pro • testant, or Presbyterian—be he Repealer, Reformer, or Con servative, who values the constitutional rights and privi leges of the subject, or the due administration of the law. —(Great cheering.) O'Connell and the rest of the tra versers have not been convicted of a breach of any of the written or statute laws of the kingdom—they have not been found guilty of violating, I say, any of the written statutes ; and we have met to-night to protest against the danger which may result from lawyer made law being turned into an instrument of oppression or of vindictiveness towards a political opponent.—(Cheers.) During the space of time my own memory can run over, I have seen but one short while during which England manifested any desire to deal fairly with our country. I allude to the term of the Government of Lord Musgrave.—(Tremendous cheers.) During that period, there were no monster meetings, no monster trials, no mon ster agitation, no strengthening of forts, no loop-holing barracks. What a contrast to that quiet state does our country now present ; her towns crowded with soldiers, her harbours literally filled with war-steamers, and her coast surrounded by men-of-war l—(Hear.) I do not wish to create any dissension in this meeting, when I ask confidently, what Irishman, looki ng a t thi s state of things, and observing the manner in which his country is treated—l ask, what Irishman can, for lam sure I cannot, feel wonder that his countrymen should demand the management of their own affairs ? The Right Rev. Dr. DENvia next addressed the meeting, which broke up, giving hearty cheers for the Queen and O'Connell. A meeting of the law clerks was held this day in the Adelphi Theatre, Mr. O'Connor in the chair, when an address to Mr. O'Connell was adopted. Nearly one hundred pounds repeal rent was subscribed on the spot. Similar meetings were held this day in Rathmines, Catherine's Parish, and the Post-office Ward. MORE TROOPS FOR IRELAND.—The Cork Reporter of yes terday says, " Her Majesty's steamer Dee, Commander Driver, sailed this morning from Cove for Chatham, to em bark troops for conveyance to this country." THE LATE MEETING IN WATERFORD—THE POLICE.—The Waterford Chronicle says:—"We are given to understand that 'the chief of the police applied to the secretary, T. F. Meagher, jun., Esq., for a copy of the resolutions which were passed at the meeting on Wednesday last to sympathise with Mr. O'Connell. An application was also made for a copy of the address—that is, before it had legal existence or was pre sented to the Liberator— Quern Deus vult, &c." CURIOUS CASE. DORCHESTER.—A person was summoned to prove b e settlement of his wife, who is a pauper lunatic in our County Asylum. On being sworn he solemnly declared that the' woman in question was not his "law ful" wife, although she had been reputed, to be so; which asseveration greatly astounded a Rev. Magis trate, who said he had seen the certificate of the mar riage, in France, made out and signed by the cure, and upon which certificate, obtained from, the man. who 'now denied the woman to be his wife; an adju dication had been made. The witness still_ persisted in his former avowal, and called God to witness that he had never been married to the woman, either in a Roman Catholic Church in France, or in any place of worship there or elsewhere. He admittted that she had lived with him, as his reputed wife, and that he had had three children by her, the eldest o f whom is now 27 years of age, and said he would have continued to take care of her, had not her conduct become such, from aberration of mind, that he could not live with her. Being asked several questions by the magistrates, he said the paper purporting to be a certificate, was not a real certificate, but was in fact, a forgery, made out by one of the sergeants of his regiment, who could write good French, and given to him, because publicans, when soldiers were billetted, would not take in their wins except they showed the certificate of their marriage : the sergeant, he said, made out half-a-dozen such certitteates at the same time; for men who had foreign women with them who followed them as wives, but who had never been married. The old pensioner then gave a history of the af fair. He said he had fought for his king and country, for many years, having been twice wounded, once in the leg, at Waterloo, and once in the peninsular war, in the nose, by the spear of a Polish soldier (the loss of his nasal organ proved that he had been wounded in that prominent part) ; after the battle of Waterloo he met with this girl at Limbourg, and she appeared to be very fond of him, there being no love lost between them, as he was somewhat fond of her; she followed him until his regiment was about to leave for Eng land, and he would have made her his wife but for , the Colonel, who refused to grant leave, nektwithstand- I ing great importunity, the gallant officer observing that he would not consent to the taking over of fo reign wives, as there were women enough in England. He told his fair one this, with a heavy heart, not daring to get married against the orders of his Colonel, as he, being then a sergeant, should have been reduced to the ranks, and probably otherwise punished. She wanted to follow him to England, whether married or not, but he pointed out to her that she could not be taken on board the transport ship, and therefore, however reluctantly, he must leave her. But no dif ficulty is too great for woman's love to encounter; she had some little acquaintance with the Commis - - sary's wife,' and hired herself as a servant, in which capacity she was taken across in another vessel, so th;tt, after he had arrived with his regiment at Dover, she soon found him out, and, to his astonishment, his French lady-love was by his side again. Well, after such devotion, the soldier had not tie heart to slight her, and she continued to follow his fortune, and had lived with him, as his better half, till the calamity which had fallen upon her happened. This, he assured the Bench was the real state of the case— he had not before denied her_ to be his wife, because he had not been called upon to do so ; but being now required to speak the truth, upon his oath, he should say what was utterly false if he said she was his wife, which he again most solemnly declared was not the case. The Bench then proceeded to take his evidence as to his own settlement, with the view of further in quiry. —Dorset Paper. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 10. SUGAR DUTIES. The order of the day Was then read. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, bring them as low ai 15s. ; and if they would de tttl itif commerce in this article would increase to 1 0 1` - tot s altogether unknown.
