ADVICE. —When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mistaken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of thr profession (certifi cates of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulti ng from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general practitioner; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Coln plaints however inveterate or complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which has never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and inju rious methods had been pursued by other practitioners without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention.—Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, enclosing a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for warded to any part of the world.

IMPORTANT CAUTION. THE RECUMBENT CHAIR is the in genious invention of R. DAMS, 17, M irgaret street, Cavendish-square. The recommendations of it, in many Scientific Works, induced many unprincipled Up holsterers to sell an imitation of it, which, we find, does not afford the same extent of comfort to invalids, or as an or dinary Resting Chair as the original. We, therefore, ad vise the obtaining cf it of Robert Daws."—Dr. Reece's Medical Annual, 1831. ROBERT DANN'S respectfully states that no other prin ciple does, or can, admit of h ilf its vari.ition or numb. r of steady position., comfort, simplicity, strength, or elegance, and he will present one to any respectable person chewing the contrary. The same Chair may be had portable, also with wheels, by which a person can move thetnselvts i❑ a room, garden, or lawn.—May be had on hire. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, APRIL 14, 1834.

An antiquarian wishes to know in whose pos session remains the City arms, which fell from Temple.bar some few months since, and why they have not been reetoree. • A man lately apprehended for felony, and now in custody in Carlisle gaol, has made the following con iession to the examining Magistrates :—That he was acquainted with a man in Workington, with whom he had boarded, who accompanied him on a preda tory excursion through the country. They left Workington about nine months ago, and proceeded to Keswick and Penrith ; at the latter place depo nent bought a brace of pistols—his companion had one already. From Penrith they came to Carlisle, where they stopped a night or two drinking. At the Malt-shovel, in Rickergate, they met with an old man who had been selling a number of cattle; he had an old top-coat, and a shag waistcoat on; and they saw him receive a great many 5/. notes and sovereigns, in payment for his cattle; deponent be lieves he came from about Durham. The next morning the two ramblers set out for Brampton, where they had learned there was to be a show of cattle, and after looking out for a long time for the old man in question, they met with him at night upon the road near that town. " As soon as he came up (continues the deponent), I took hold of the bridle of his horse, arid said, ' You had better deliver your money,' when he threw a handful of silver on the road. My comrade said, Knock his head off;' I said He is an old man, let him alone.' We told him to get off the horse quietly, which he did. The old fellow took out his knife, and made a cut at my left hand, cutting my little finger—it is marked yet; he aimed to cut me on the neck; my companion laid hold of his hands, standing in front of him ; I felt his pockets; I took 80 sovereigns out of his ' side-pockets, and 16s. in silver; I took his watch out of his waistcoat pocket—it was a gold repeater; there were some bills, which I threw away. It was between eight and nine o'clock, a very wet night— it was better than half a mile from Brampton. The drover mounted his horse and went towards Halt whistle. We returned to Brampton, and went to a public-house near a blacksmith's shop ; I think it is the sign of the Globe; we had a bottle of rum ; I kept the money, and paid 3s. 6d. for the rum, and 6d. for sugar; we had some supper, for which I paid 2s. 6d.; we then crossed the country and came towards Carlisle; and when we got to Rickerby we broke the chain of a boat and went across to the Stonevholme; we were both drunkish, and soon quarrelled about the watch, I said it was a silver watch; he said I was a liar, and struck me over the face. The boat was then aground. When we landed he was flourishing his pistol about, and it went off close to my ear. I then took my pistol, in order to frighten him, and brought it to the level of his thigh, when it went off and shot him through the right thigh. He fell shouting 0, you thief.' I fell in running away from him. It was about six o'clock in the evening. I saw who lives in Jollie's-buildings. I went to the Shakspeare Tavern and played at bowls, got some drink, and then went to a stable opposite and got a spade, which I took with me. I waded across to Itickerily-lioltne, and went to a plantation, near which I dug a hole about two and a half feet deep, and having wrapped the watch and eighty sovereigns in a black silk hand. kerchief, I put them in a hole and covered them up. I went several times to the place, and both took out and put in silver. I put some silver inkstands in, and took them out again, broke them up, and sold them to a Jew. I threw the pistols away near the Swiftstile."—Carlisk Patriot.

SUGAR.—The quantity of West India Muscovades on show last week was very limited, and the total sales were only 1,200 hhds. and tees., yet such was the languid state of the trade that the prices of every description, except the very low browns, were Is. per cwt. lower. The stock of West India Sugar is now 5,712 hhds. and trs., which is 3,223 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius 51,649 bags, being 12,977 more than last year. The delivery of West India Sugar last week 1,403 hhds. and tees., being 878 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 11,402 bags, being 5,167 more than the corresponding week of 1831. The stock of West India Muscovades was never so low as at the present moment : there is, in consequence, scarcely any offering for sale; the purchases to-day are too limited for enumeration. The prices are the same as last week. The Refined Market was in a state of great depression last week ; the exporters would not give the ad vanced prices, and the buyers for the home consumption pur chased only very small parcels for their immediate wants ; the prices were 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower. There is no alteration in Refined this afternoon ; there are few goods on sale. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—Considerable parcels of Manilla Sugars have been sold 255. a 265. The lower qualities of Mau ritius sold at very full market prices ; all the liner qualities went off at a reduction of Is.; the latter are now very low in proportion to the low brown of the difference of quality formerly 10s. ; the difference is now only 3s. a ss. This day's public sales of Mauritius, 2,322 bags, went off at full market prices, good higher. FOREIGN SUGARS.—Towards the close of last week the demand for Foreign Sugar revived, and the prices advanced Is. a 25., fine white Bahia 275. 6d.

There were no sales of Coffee this day ; the Market is quiet, but the prices are fully supported. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLT, ANDS.—The Rum Market has been very heavy, and where sales have been effected lower prices must be submitted to, about Id. per gallon, but there are few or no sellers at this reduction. Brandy is still very firm. In Geneva there is no alteration. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—TaIIow is in more re. quest, and the prices are again rather higher. Hemp is rather lower. Flax unvaried. IRISH PROVISIONS.—In the last week the import of Foreign Butter was 3,533 casks, of Irish only 90 firks., and of Bacon 274 bales. Friesland Butter at the quay we quote 90s. a 965. as to quality ; and for Irish there is a very limited sale ; Cork and Limerick we nominally quote 80s. a 82s. The stock of Bacon at the wharfs being now upwards of 20,000 bales less than it was at this time last year, the cheesemongers purchase with somewhat more confidence; singed Waterford we quote 495. a 51s. landed, and for this and the next month's shipment 495. a 50s. on board.

WOOL.—The four public sales of last week were not so numerously attended as the February sales, but the same prices were for the most part fully maintained. In private sales, scarcely any thing doing, as the stocks on hand, though small, are not of the kinds which are wanted by the manufacturers.

TRADE OF BARNSLEY.—WC rejoice to learn that the linen trade of this place is much improved. Nearly all the weavers of character in the town and neigh bouring villages are employed. The bleaching grounds begin to exhibit their wonted colour ; and other symptoms of anima tion are visible in the town and neighbourhood.—Leeds Merc. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening.—Arrived to-day, the John Wells, from Philadelphia; the Flora and Egidius, from Ostend ; the Barton, from Barbados ; the Dart from London ; the Enigheten, from New Carleby ; the Fre_ derika, from Jacobstadt ; the Pacc, from St. Petersburgh. Arrived yesterday, the James and Jane, from Laguna; and Frederika, from Ostend. The following postscriptum is annexed to many of the invitations for soirees in Paris :—" The cholera will not be the subject of conversation." It is not true that the cholera in London has been exclusively confined to the lower classes. A Noble Earl, whose life was only preserved by the prompt administration by his Countess of the remedies prescribed by the Board of Health, has since been attended by two eminent physicians, both of whom affirm the case to have been one of decided, unequivocal, spasmodic cholera. Certainly the Anti-Reform speakers in the late debate showed an extraordinary want of tact in the manner in which they assailed the motives and conduct of Lords Har rowby, Wharnclitfe, and others, who are described as the " wavers" upon the subject. Towards waverers the obvious policy is to soothe, and not vituperate—to conciliate, not to cast off; but on this occasion the scruples of the parties in question were met in a tone which leaves them, happily for the country, no possibility of retreat. SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S SOCIAL CHARAC TER. —The social character of Sir Isaac Newton was such as might have been expected "from his intellectual attainments. He was modest, candid, and affable, and without any of the eccentricities of genius, suiting himself to every company, and speaking of himself and others in such a manner, that he was never even suspected of vanity. " But this," says Dr. Pem berton, " I immediately discovered in him, which at once both surprised and charmed me. Neither his extreme great age, nor his universal reputation, had rendered him stiff in opinion, or in any degree elated. Of this I had occasion to have almost daily experience. The remarks I continually sent him by let ters on the Principia were received with the utmost goodness. These were, so far from being any ways displeasing to him, that on the contrary, it occasioned him to speak many kind things of me to my friends, and to honour me with a public testimony of his good opinion."—Family Library, No. XXIV, Dr. Brewster's Life of Newton. TREATMENT OF CHOLERA IN THE HOTEL Diets, Dupuytren commences with making five or six scarifications of the epigastrium, each of them sufficient to deplete to the extent of two or three ounces ; he then directs the Patient to be vigorously dry rubbed with flannel, after which he administers a cup of the decoction of poppy heads, which is to be repeated every two hours. Meantime the pa tient gets, every hour, a dessert spoonful of a mixture of subacetate of lead (50 drops), in an infusion of mint (eight ounces), with syrup. A demilatyment of the decoction is also given every three hours. The dry rubbing to be constantly em ployed. M. Magendie, in the stage of collapse, places his reliance on strong punch made with alcohol and infusion of camomile. In the stage of reaction, he gives instead, a simple tisane; and if there be symptoms of congestion towards the h ead, he applies ice, or iced water, according to circum stances, M. Recamier adopts the system of cold affusion, and begins with water at the temperature of sixty degrees of Reaumur. His internal remedies are infusion of mint, and, at intervals of a quarter of an hour, a spoonful of a mixture composed of tincture of opium (an ounce and a half), sulphuric ether (one ounce), and infusion of mint (six drachms), with mucilage. The patient is rubbed, moreover, with camphorated liniment, having a fourth part of tincture of opium mixed with it. M. Breschet gives acetate of ammonia in camomile tea—an ounce to the pint; and he pre scribes also, sulphuric ether (thirty drops), with tincture of canella and syrup of quinine, to be occasionally administered. Laudanum injection; and amoniacal frictions. M. Chomel— Frictions with spirits and acetic acid. Laudanum, in the dose of twenty drops to the ounce of mint water and syrup. N. Gendrin doses largely (a haute dose) with opium, and em ploys spirituous frictions, &c. They all agree it may be added in prescribing the constant use of frictions, with the applica tion of hot bricks, bottles, sand, and iron; and, in short, the prevailing theory among the French practitioners seems to be, that cholera is a non-inflammatory complaint, which is best treated with stimulants.—Aftelicad Gazette. The Ecclesiastical Prescripton Bill went through Com mittee, on the motion of Lord LYNDHURST. Petitions against the new system of education in Ire land were presented by Lords Rosslyn, Wharncliffe, Roden, and the Bishop of London. The Earl of lIAREWOOD presented a petition from an individual laying claim to a peerage, the title of which we could not hear ; also a petition from Port-Glasgow, pravinz for protection to the West India Colonies. The Earl of GOSFORD presented petitions in favour of Reform from the Belfast Reform Club, and from the Birmingham Political Union. _ _ Wheat. ------- Per Quarter. s. to s.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that a Noble Friend of his had given notice of his intention to move for papers connected with the Reform Bill. He had no douht that the discussion on that important motion would take up a very consider.ible portion of time ; he therefore hoped his Noble Friend would be induced to postpone his motion to some future period, or allow it to be discussed in the Committee. Lord WYNFOIID said that, in consequence of the suggestions of the Noble Duke, he should postpone his motion till the second day after the Easter recess. _ The Insolvent Debtors (Ireland) Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to he read a third time. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented two petitions from parishes in Nottingham, against the new system of education in Ireland. COLONIAL TRADE. The Earl of HAREWOOD then rose, pursuant to no tice, to present the petition which had been agreed to at a most numerous meeting of the West India Proprietors, held at the City of London Tavern a few days since. The Noble Earl, in presenting the petition, stated that lie had attended that meeting, and he felt convinced that one more numerous had never taken place, or one that felt their interests more deeply aff.cted by what might be the result of the present petition. He disclaimed, in bring ing the subject before the House, any idea of doing so in a political view : he had no such view ; and although in the course of what be had to offer to their Lordships, he might feel it incumbent to make remarks on the Government of the country, lie did not do so with any hostile feelings towards them, but only did what was necessary to elicit the subject. The present petition complained, in the first place, of distresses : dis tresses were admitted by all who knew any thing of West India affairs, and indeed by the Government itself, inas much as they hail tried something to alleviate them. But when he (Earl H.) considered in what way those distresses pressed, he must say, without attempting to offer to point out any remedy, that they pressed to so great a degree, as to annihilate a great part of the pi operty of the West India proprietors. In point of fact, the state of things was such, that the produce of the country was literally and absolutely confiscated. It was impossible, in his opinion, for pro perty to exist in that country under the present system. —(Hear.) He would not enter at any length into the effects of that system, as he understood there was to be a Committee appointed, and that subject would be more fit to be considered there than by their Lordships in that House. He would not hesitate to say, if the system was allowed to be carried on, the British West India colonies must sink. He would not go at present into the question of free trade: that was also a subject more for the consideration of a Committee; but when he considered that the distress arose not from accidental causes—not from hur ricanes alone, or insurrections, but from a long con tinued course of things, he could not but think the system ought to he examined into, with a view of see ing whether it was not worth while preserving the British colonies, in preference to keeping upihat system which had already brought ruin on hundreds in the British colonies, which had impaired the shipping interests of the country, and which would ultimately end in the destruction of both. He was perfectly convinced that any person standing up in that House, or elsewhere, to advocate matters relative to the West Indies, was looked upon in rather an odious and prejudicial light ; but notwithstanding that, he felt it to be his duty to do so, being convinced that the more the West India interests were properly under stood, the more would that prejudice which existed against them in the end be removed.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever may be the loss of the proprietors on the sale of their produce, and it was now often considerable, they were hound to keep their slaves: so that the natural consequence of the continuance of such a state of things must be, for pro prietors so situated, to abandon the cultivation of their land altogether. The state of anarchy into which such estate• will be thrown would soon be extended to those in their neighbourhood, till at length the widening circle would embrace the whole colony in ruins. As a possessor of property in the 'West Indies, he now addressed the House on behalf of that part of our possessions. H. protested against the clamour and insidious statements made against West India Proprietors—a clamour the mote unjust, as no one ventured to suggest how they could get out of their present difficulties.—(Hear, hear.) He could only say, that if any suggestions were made that would tend to their relief, they would be most happy to adopt them. But no one wishing well to those colonies, or to the slaves themselves, ought to sanction ir ritating motions in Parliament. He now begged to say a few words on the Orders in Council sent out to the West Indies. Whenever any considerable agitation was got up in this country, either at a general election or at any other time, there seemed a disposition not merely in this but in all Governments to send out Orders in Council, the effect of which was to produce much mischief. Before issuing them, the Government ought to consider the effect they were likely to produce.—(Hear.) As far as they bad yet seen, their only effect had been to make the slaves look from home for protection ; than which nothin g could be more dangerous in such a state of society. Those Orders in Council had been framed as if all the moral, religious, and physical wants of the negroes had been utterly neglected, and no steps had been taken to mitigate the horrors of the state 01 society they assumed to exist.—(Hear.) They entered into details of the quantity of food that was to be given to the negroes, as if they had been hitherto starved, and regulated hours of labour without the slightest regard to climate or any other circumstance that ought tie guide them. In Demerara it was unhealthy to labour early in the day ;in Barbados it was delightful the slaves al. ways preferred it, and th us obtained a greater part of the day to themselves. The Orders in Council made no distinction between these cases. He thought it was not honest or fair, for one part of his Majesty's subjects to be per petually writing down another part, as the West Indians were written down by a party in this country. It they had any thing to state let them state it fairly, and he had no doubt that impartial and candid men would know how to do both parties ample justice. The Committee which it was understood was to be appointed would, he had no doubt, make full inquiry into the sub ject. What they had done to improve the situation of the West Indies would he seen, and any recommendation made by that Committee would, he was sure, be agreed to by all, unless evidently injurious to the colonies, and he would not suppose that any such sugges tion could be made. He thought the mode in which his Majesty's Government wished to force the legislative colo nies into making the Orders in Council law, was particularly harsh. The planters said they were distressed, and wanted relief, and Government told them that some was in contem plation, but they should not have it unless they adopted the Orders in Council, the effect of which must be, to those colonies who did not obey the mandate, equally ruinous. The Noble Earl said that lie only felt it necessary to allude to one more topic. The petitioners, previous to the manufacture, as he would call it, of the Orders in Council, were desirous of having a Committee appointed to investigate their complaints, and they were also desi rous now of having those Orders in Council examined into. Those Orders in Council were in course of execution, or at. least they bad been promulgated ; but in the legislative colonies their operation had been suspended, because the iegislaturess declared them to be unfit to be styled laws. The Noble Earl submitted that the petitioners ought now to be placed in the same condition as when they first re quested a Committee, and that, d u ring the examination of this subject, Government would suspend the execution of the Orders in Council. He would now conclude by mov ing that the petition be read at length. The petition having been read, Lord SUFFIELD said it was with . extreme surprise As well as regret, that he heard the peti tioners request that • I - Committee should be appointed to exams V its lif t object. He admitted th a t gre it distresseV:lrkited. the British West India Colonies, anck..decTi t arose solely from the existence of a4v4ifiNe.iii, t to be supposed that a system founded-- ota.sual":l;:.4o' . /:‘ , ruelty, where man bad unlimited power over ..1athv7 , 7,i0A . ', 4 4 .nan, should exist much longer ? He appealed teAbe'fitlusktV.-., .yliether that cyst,--tri bad not now failed ? iect of slavery was one which was but too wee Ire known in every corner of the kingdom; and that iris House should be the only place in which igno_ ance should prevail, was to him most aston shiug. The Noble Earl opposite had complained of the Orders in Council. He (Lord Suffield) must express his great it.li 2a tion to his Itlaiesty's Gwernment for those, the onlY) means that had been found for carrying into effec tie tit inuinission of slaves. All the plans of firmer Go vernments to do so had been unsucessslul, from not knowing the proper mode of carrying them into effect. The present Government had, however, hit upon the secret. to exact neans of enforcing that amelioration. It was true that there were colonial legislatures in the West Indies ; but still it was competent to the Government at home to ssy to them, if they adopted certain regulations they sofild receive such and such favours, but that if tteey refus. to adopt them, they should be deprived of the benefit. The papers on their Lordships' table shew , d the spirit with which those legislatures received the suggestions of his Majesty's Government. They had resisted those suggestions, and repelled the ad vice of the Government, and must now take the conse quences. It was well known. the produce of the West India colonies was always uncertain. In some seasons, great wealth had been acquired ; while, in others, from a failure of their crops, many persons had be- n ruined. He, for one, would never give his consent to an inquiry •nto that which was as plain to every vne as the sun at, noon-day. hark tiAREWOOD explained. lie never :fidj.eted td the Orders in Council; but in his opil.ion "veto certain parts of them which could not satiafactorily carried into effect. Lord GODERICH said he felt himself called upon to address a few observations upon the sti:ject of this more particularly in reference to the speech they had first heard from the Noble Earl who introduced the petition. It would, he had not doubt, be admitted that, in respect to these colonies, their situation, and prospects, the Government of this country were very delicately circum stanced, particularly with regard to the condition of the slave population, and the prospect of its manumission, whether voluntarily or compulsorily. It could not escape the Legislature at home that a great degree of jealousy existed as to the interference of Parliament, or the Govern ment here, in regulations or enactments Which it was sups posed the local legislatures were perfectly competent Id pass or issue with respect to the population over Which they more especially presided. For eight years 10tethet the Government had continued in a state of uncertalot to what would be the issue of the deliberations of tiar lonial legislatures; during which it became their duty,' ao Ministers, to endeavour as much as possible to withdraw themselves from the influence of parties interested, and to steer clear of over-zealous advocates of the rights of hu manity, or the interested supporters of the present system of slavery in the West Indies. It was strictly in accord ance with such a system that the Government, in 1823, came forward to propose the resolutions then agreed to by the Lower House, by which it was then agreed that it was the duty of that House to endeavour to effect the ini provemeat of the slaves in our West India colonies, Whilst they continued to be in a state of slavery, and to attempt' finally to procure their liberation from slavery. Whatever difficulty they had anticipated in the accomplishment of the latter, even in the former it was found that the Legis lature and the Government was destined to he disap pointed. Their suggestions were disregarded, the direc tions of the orders issued in Council were not attended solutionsatwop a, approbation b n aa d the ti oangroefdth successful teoeff ubopyt effort Government etrn was the ll obtainitiHeine constrained soetrhpeo fafrucl at last eemrnotnt.: sanctionoh ea apt ree to , d.: rate as a stimulus to the colonial legi-latures, and include them to comply with the Orders sent out by this Gtia veroment. He would avoid, as much as possible, touch ing upon any topic which might give pain to persons or to parties whose interests were concerned ; but he must say that he did not think the course pursued by the co lonial legislatures, in consequence cf these Orders in Council, was commensurate to the just expectations of Parliament.—(Hear, bear.) It became thence neces sary that some additional inducement should be held out to these colonial legislatures. The Noble Lord had ob jected that this additional inducement having been he:d ut by Parliament, in the manner described, the Govern ment should have abstained from issuing an Older in Council on the subject. He would remark, that it was only by an Order in Council that the object could possi bly be attempted to be gained in those which were Crown colonies, as theis a mae-terined. Having been disappointed in all theirexpectations, Government thought it advisa ble, in 1830, to issue an Order in Council to direct the attention of the colonial governments to the improvement and secure the welfare of the slaves. This was accom. t ianied by a despatch drawing their attention to the pro priety of appointing particular hours for labour in the colonies, together with an adequate apportionment of food And clothing, with other remarks, which would, if ex tended, form a complete code of slave regulations. Go vernment, it was known at the time, had never consi dered this as a final measure. They seemed to feel that such was the give of things in the West Indies that they could not and ought not either to stand still or retrograde. It behoved them to make some progress towards the at tainment of the desirable objects contemplated by the friends of humanity.—(Hear, hear.) Much needless criticism had been pasted upon the unnecessary minute ness of details as to food and clothing, introduced into this despatch, as if the proprietors of slaves had not humanity enough to provide for the comforts of their slaves, without the intervention of the Government at home. If any fault, however, were capable of being found, it would not be fair to put it to the account of this despatch, because the regulations were drawn up from a review of the existing laws on this sub lect, at Demerara and other places; so that it might be said to be no more than a consolidating of a system which nefore bad existence under the colonial laws in certain of our colonies. The Government felt it would be necessary to re-enact those points on the treatment of slaves, be cause all the prudent enactments had been abrogated. It is the nature of uncontrolled power to be abused. This they felt as his Majesty's advisers, and as the colonists had a control over the liberty, and formerly over the life of their slaves, they thought this power ought to be regulated by law. To support this opinion, he quoted a law passed in 1824, apportioning to the slaves in the Bahamas both food and clothes. Nothing had been done objectionable in all the Crown colonies by Government. Indeed, it would not be conclusive to a calm discussion of these topics if he were to go into the minutia of heads of complaint which there regulations were meant to meet. But as to the propriety of these regulations he acknowledged he could out persuade himself to believe that their expedi. ncy ought to depend on proving to the letter all the enor mities and inhumanity alleged to exist in our treat ment of slaves still in the colonies. They were, it was enough to say, founded on the natural ten dency of mankind to abuse all absolute power, and the case of these poor slaves was, therefore, a fit .übject for legislative interference. He had no objec tion to accede to the proposition of the Noble Earl to Brant a Committee to inquire into the condition of these ..olonies. He was aware of the difficulties ender which the alanters laboured, and that they were involved in debts which they had no prospect of discharging. As Parlia ment had not recently inquired into this circumstance, it was only right they should be subject to the investiga tion claimed, if they conceived such a course advisable. For himself, were he a planter in the West Indies, l ie should much question the policy or prudence of calling for •, nu intemperate an pe r a i t n e q ui ryt, hastelest,and impatienceinstead of of the British moderating the all e g e d Parlia ment on the subject of the protracted continuance of -lavery, they should draw down upon them ct nsequences of a very different description. He felt, however, dispssed ro wave his preconceived opinion, and to offer no oppo sition to the Committee proposed by the Noble Earl who introduced the subject.—(Hear, hear.) As to the feelings of Government and of himself, were he to form a part of that Committee, their only object would he the pursuit and elucidation of truth. But of this he must state him self advisedly convinced, that nothing in the world could Possibly be worse for that great interest than, in advocating the cause of their property, to attempt to shut o u t i n the deliberation the great considerations of the neces sity of justice and humanity in the treatment of heir slaves. He would not anticipate ; but one result, he trusted, would follow from such an investigation, that the colonial legislatures would begin to think it was no longer wise to defer the adoption of the regulations suggested by Government, without which they roust ever be subject to frequent gu s t s o f v i o l ence , w hi c h wou ld f rom time to time sake their int eres t s an d t h e i r property to its very foundation.
