SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. 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 iu 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 OD driving the slave 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 done prevented from continuing to afford large contributions to our commerce and finance. All that we now seek from foreign commerce in this article, colonial commerce would have given u 3; 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 sacri fice of our scruples ; and that those scruples, having 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 ease 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 should have foreseen, from the very hour of abolishing the slave tilde, the difficulties and necessities which have come thicken ing on us over since. Enlightened slave owners (if that were not apt to be scarce less than A contradic tion in terms) should have foreseen 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 • aides, 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 us, as equity dictates ; look to foreigners for supplies, and don't look how they raise them. We will 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 foresight to impose this 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 have reduced to absurdity the act of abolishing our slave 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 of 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 will hardly be said, that if we had had distinct fore knowledge that we must needs buy sugar of some slave dealers, there was common sense in abolishing the trade of 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 held itself answerable to provide some substitute for its use. And this responsibility should have been imposed on our Government by the planters ; and aided by them. Instead of this, they stiffened themselves against all interference. They 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-' crease of their numbers. STANDARD.—TweIve years ago this country abolished negro slavery—a great act of justice and of mercy, but an act which involved a vast present sacrifice, without any definite prospect of compensation, however distant ; but what has been the effect ? The first effect, and beyond doubt an nndesigned 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 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 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 not repair. The Emancipation Act did not take away merely the planter's servant, it took away his estate, and all the capi tal sunk upon that estate. Lands cannot be cultivated or works carried on without labourers, and if you take away the labourers, you, in effect, take away the lands and the works ; and less than the fee-simple of the lands and the whole price of the works will not compensate the owner. Such has been to a great extent the effect of the Emancipa tion Act upon the West India planters. They cannot all get labourers at any price, and we have heard and believe that the few who can get them, are often compelled to pay at the rate of one shilling per hour. Now, to admit the competition of slave labour with men so circumstanced must be in stant ruin, and even to admit the competition of free labour of countries less burthened and more populous would be almost as unjust, yet this is what has been proposed by . the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers, by Mr. Ewart and Mr. Roe buck ; and firmly to resist the propositions of these persons is the vindication of justice for which the occasion calls. England 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 no further claim. This is, however, a false view of the trans action of 1832. That was not a bargain between equals, in which one could demand and the other pay a price. It was an arrangement imposed by a strong party upon 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 sation, 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 ing slavery, if we are unwilling to pay the last penny of the cost. It is idle and fallacious to talk of our twenty millious, if the cost to the planters has been twice twenty millions snore. We must not, as the phrase is, " ride to heaven upon another man's horse." No round sum of money that any one could dare to name is, inflict, sufficient to compensate the West India planter. If we are just, we will compensate him by pro tecting his industry, the only way in which we can compensate him. The measure of protection is a question into which we are not competent to enter. If excessive, it would but serve to enhance the extravagant rate of wages in the West Indies, as there the labourers are masters ; if deficient, it would be a fraud, for an insufficient protection is in fact no protection. What we contend for is the principle of real protection, and to apply thi.s principle is, we maintain, necessary to justice. Returning to the point from which we set out, we hold that in this and every other case, to "be just and fear not" is the true wisdom. Let us treat the West Indiana with justice, and we know from experience that, sooner or later, they Will repay us tenfold. How, we do not pretend to conjec ture. It may be that the islands will, by a multiplication of the people from natural increase, or by migration from the neighbouring slave states, or by drafts from civilised Africa, again exhibit an universal cultivation. Our readers are aware that we look to the civili‘ation of the west coast of Africa as the most promising source' of supply, and to civilise that coast would, like all the works of mercy, be twice blessed, blessing hint that gives, and him to whom it is given?' MEETING IN BELFAST. DUBLIN, Jr.nez 9.—A very numerous and highly important meeting of the Reformers of Belfast was held in the Theatre of that torn, on Friday, " to consider the propriety of adopt ing resolutions, and an address to Mr. O'Connell, with ref& rence to the State trials." James Grimshaw, EN., presided. JA3ies CAmrBELL, Esq., proposed the first resolution. lie said--I 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 perset;n, tion.—(Load applause.) That a man should be incarcerated while Lis guilt is yet undecided, and ere the higher tribunal Were which such decision is to take place has sit upon the queition, is, gentlemen, a circumstance which should wake us alermed for our own liberties.—(Cheers.) T. T. TENNENT, Esq.. proposed the next resolution. He said—Gentlemen, I perfectly agree with tho judges in their definiiioa of conspiracy ; I do not question the ficeliMey with which they have declared the law; but I have been, from a very eat ly 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'Conneil's jury I would, assuredly. have de clared him innocent of the crime of conspiracy.—( freineadenta applause.) In my c,onsciince, 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 consjak4 op pressive, cannot be construed into conspiracy. There _1444 be some proof that they laid th e i r h ea d s toge ther to bred( the law. Gentlemen, the right by w hl e h we are here assent. bled to-night, is one which, I trust, we are all resolved never to surrender' except with our lives.—(Trentendoue applause.) - IL J. TENSEST, Esq., D. L., in proposing an address to Ur. O'Connell,.said—Such an event as has lately happened calls for the condemnation not only of every friend of civil an d rejigious liberty, but of every man. be he Cath o li c , P ro , testant, or Presbyterian —be he Repealer. Reformer, or Con_ servative, who values the constitutional rights 4 ; pr.v..- loges of the subject, or the due administration of th e 1 4 , , —(Great cheering.) O'Connell and the rest of the trams 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 pretest against the danger which may result from lawyer-made law being turned into ss Instrument.of oppression or of vindictiveness towards a • political opponent.—(Cheers.) During the spas of tines my own memory can run over, I have seen but one sh o rt whi ie during which England manifested any desire to deal fairly with our country, I allude to the term of the Government of Lord lifuegrave.—(Tretnendous cheers.) During that period, there were no monster meetingo, no monster trials, n g Mon ster agitation, no strengthen:rig of forts, no loop-holing barracks,' What a contrast to tl.at quiet state does .ur country now present ; her towns crowded with soldiers, her harbours literally filled with war•iisamerS, and her coast surrounded' by men-of-war !—(Hear.) do not wish to create any distreecien in this meeting, when I ask confidently, what Irishman, tochiOg at this Coate of, things and observing the manner in which his country kir treated—l ask, what Irishmen can, for lam sure 11- u annot,wonder feAl that his counyynan abeedd demand the The iiiagge4xtneitev. i ntefh r eir ' affairs iliAt addressed the meeting, otounet up, giving hearty which broke , 11-Leere. for the Queen and A meeting of the law cler ks was held thi s d a y l q Adslphi Th ea t re , bk.

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 PoLtct.—The firateybrd 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 the 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 of 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 wives except they showed the certificate of their marriage : the sergeant, he said, made out half-a-dozen such certificates 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 Limhourg, 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, notwithstand 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 het. 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 that, 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 the 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. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price Current of June 11.)

"' IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. port the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, as the only means of establishing a bishopric of Man chester. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. 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 Bishup of Exeter. The Bishop of EXETER postponed from Thursday to Friday the second reading of the Brothels Suppres sion Bill. The Earl of WINCHILSEA. said that it was with the deepest regret that he was obliged to oppose those for whom he entertained the highest respect ; but, at the same time, he never rose with more satisfaction to oppose any measure than he did to oppose that proposed by the Noble Lord. It had been urged that it would be a vast inconvenience for the poor clergymen of Wales to com municate with a distant Bishop if the measure before them were not agreed to, but it would infer no great in convenience for poor clergymen to go thirty, or forty, or fifty miles, even if two bishops were appointed. Ile thought the object of his Noble Friend was merely con fined to the erection of the two bishoprics. He would not trouble the House with any further remarks, but he would protest against the reading of his Noble Friend's Bill. The Bishop of LONDON said that he was opposed to the Bill in its present state. Lord VIVIAN said that he begged to state a fact to their Lordships, namely, that the people of the Prin- cipality of Wales cared very little about the juncture of the sees. He wished to remove the impression from their Lordships' minds that the population generally did so. The Bishop of EXETER supported the Bill. He would not care for a seat in that House, if he had to hold it against the feeling of the country. He for one would be glad to retire from that House, if the people of the coun try should entertain an opinion that the Bishops ought not to have a seat in that House; but he believed that the presence of the Bishops had a very beneficial influ ence on their Lordships' deliberations. 'With respect to the question before the House, he feared that the Noble Earl (Powis) would be unsuccessful in his motion, but he trusted that the Noble Earl, if defeated, would renew his motion from year to year until at last he succeeded in extracting this measure from the Government. The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY briefly explained. The Bishop of SALISBURY said, that having had the duties of two bishoprics thrown upon him, he must say that his experience had led him to form the opinion that a union of two sees could give satisfaction to no man. Of all the petitions t hat crowded their Lordships' table, was there one which was in opposition to the Bill introduced by his Noble Friend? It was not without pain that he and other Reverend Prelates were compelled to oppose him whom they were accustomed to support. But they had a duty to perform, and that duty must be done to themselves and the country. Would the country be gratified to see the responsible advisers of the Crown wronging that higher section, who were the best guarantees for the fidelity of the people? Lord HARROWBY supported the Bill. Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it .. 37 Majority Several Bills were then forwarded a stage, and the House Adjourned. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE POOR. The Marquis of NORMANBY rose to ask when the report respecting the sanatory 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. 5( 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 t p resen t, that annually as many as )4 50,000 persons died of fever, arising from the condition of their dwellings. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Lewis, a minister of a parish in Dtendee, that the an nual cost to that town, in consequence of the prevalence of fever arising from the condition of the poor, was 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 taken. 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 Duke of BUCCLEUCH was sensible that there were a great mealy evils in the old and the continued modes of building new towns, but there was a groat 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 Lordships' House. The papers which the Noble Marquis wished to have, could not be presented within a few days, and ho 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 . petted that the case of Leeds would have formed the foundation of a 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 local manage ) ment, in the case he had cited. 41 SEES OF BANGOR AND ST. ASAPH. Earl POWIS, 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 1 34 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 1 a Noble Lord and a Right Rev. Prelate, whose weight 1 s and character in their Lordships' House made it difficult 1 for him singly to bring that subject under their notice.
