The Hos. MEMEER, then presented two etitions from trustees and creditors of turnpike roads in the county of liertf.rd, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Birmingham and London Rail-road Committee. COMMITTEE BUSINESS. Mr. HUNT rose to make a complaint of the manner in which private Bills were disposed of in Committee. and also to ask for information from the Speaker. He ha I received a letter from Manchester, which stated that a Bill was before the House and going into a Committee, of which the rate payers were wholly ignorant ; that it contained many grievances, and was being smuggled through the llouse. . . The SPEAKER asked the lion. Mem!)er if be in. tended to present any petition? Mr. HUNT-NO. The SPEAKER—Then the Honourable Member for the borough of Preston, is making a charge in a way in which the House ought not to receive it, and it is also an ex-parte statement. If the Hon. Member wished to ask me a question as to the made of doing business—not in the House, but before a Committee of the House—it would have been better if he had communicated it to me pre viously.—(Hear. ) Mr. HUNT—Then I will not ask the question ; but, Sir, I complain that there is a private Committee sitting on this Bill, in which I think there is smuggling. _ _ The SPEAKER—Order, order. The Hon. Member has no right to do that. If there were any persons injured by what has been done in the Committee, the readiest way of proceeding is by petition.—(Hear.) Is the Hon. Member on the Committee ? Mr. HUNT—Yes, Sir, and I have to complain of what took place when I was present. The SPEAKER—I wish the Hon. Member had ac quainted me with his complaint before. Is the Hon. Mem. her the Chairman ? Mr. HUNT. No, I am not. The SPEAKER—I will interrupt the Hon. Member no further, but I must beg that he will use Parliamentary language in any statement that be may make, for it was prejudging a case, and it was impedimentary, to use the word smuggling.—(Hear.) Mr. HUNT then proceeded. He had been applied to by parties at Manchester to attteud the Com mittee and watch the progress of the Bill, the parties stating that they had no notice of it. On going in he found only the Noble Lord, the Member for the county of Lancaster (Lord Stanley) as Chairman, and also the other Member fur the county (Mr. Heywood), who were preparing the clauses of the Bill. lie asked the Chairman if the rules of the House per mitted only two Members of a Committee to pass the clauses of a Bill, and he was answered that there had been five Members, but three had gone, and two who were left had the power of proceeding without them, according to the rules of the House. He then entered his protest against such a proceeding, and moved that the Committee should ad journ, but the Noble Lord declined to put the question. He made that motion a second time, and the Noble Lord still refused to put it. The Noble Lord appealed to the Clerk, who said that the Committee were em powered to proceed ; he, Mr. Hunt, protested against an tapped to the Clerk, and moved an adjournment for the third time, but it was again refused to be put. Two other Members then came in which being in his opinion sufficient, he did not wish the ques tion of adjournment to be put; but then the Noble Lord insisted on putting it. He had therefore been anxious to ask the Speaker if such a proceeding by two Membe:s of a Committee, was in conformity with the rules of the House ? The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member had asked an abstract question, and he could only therefore give an abstract answer. If he were asked if the contested parts of a Bill could pass a Committee without the Committee being full, he should say they could not. If he asked if any question could be carried in the House when less than forty Members were present, he should say that simple questions might be carried, although it was compe tent for any Member to move an adjournment. He would only answer the Hon. Member's question by illustration ; it depended greatly on the convenience of parties, and upon the subject matter and importance of the Bill. The same Members were frequently in three or four Committees, and unless they possessed the power of übiquity, they could not attend all at one time. Therefore a great deal must, of necessity, be left to the discretion of a Committee, relying upon their doing nothing without proper authority, and leaving parties wbo might be ag grieved at any tiling done, to their remedy by petition. He was unable to give a more particular answer to so general a question.—( Hear.) Lord STANLEY said, although there was no motion before the House, yet as a complaint had been aimed against him, he hoped to be permitted to say a few words in his own justification.—(Hear.) The Member for Preston was correct in saying, that at one particular time there were but two members of the Committee present; but he had not stated what was stated to him, via. that the parties originally opposing the Bill had withdrawn that opposition, and had consented to it—that all the differences had been made up, and that the Hon. Member was the only person objecting to it. He, Lord S. might, perhaps, ac. cording to the strict letter of the rules of the House, have been incorrect in proceeding with the Bill, while only two Members were present, but under the c , rcumstances above stated, he conceived himself justified in going on. The Hon. Member had stated that he moved an adjournment of the Committee, and that he (Lord S.) refused to put the ques tion ; to that assertion he gave a thorough and flat denial. --(Hear, hear.) He told the Ilon. Member that if he insisted on putting that motion, he must of course put it, and the committee must break up ; he therefore put it to the lion. Member, knowing that many persons were in town upon the business who wished to return as speedily as possible, whether he would persist on . a mere matter of form in postponing the proceedings before the committee, when every purpose was answered and all parties were agreed. Other Hon. Members then came in,, and a full Com mittee was formed. The Hon. Member then objected to his putting the motion, because be said his reasons were net stated. In doing what he had done he thought be was acting right.—(Hear.) Some delay took place in consequence of his urging the Hon. Member to con sider the propriety of persisting in his motion, but he trusted the House would not consider him guilty of any great error in what he had done. The SPEAKER saw no reason, from the combined statements that had been made, to alter the opinion be bad already given, and he thought it would be only wasting the time of the House to go further, provided both Hon. Members were satisfied. Mr. HUNT then rose to address the House, but Lord MILTON thought such a course irregular, and would only be the means of re-opening the whole dis cussion. Mr. HUNT wished only to state one fact, that the parties complaining, the rate payers, stated that they had no notice of the Committee. BIRMINGHAM AND LONDON RAILWAY. Lord MILTON presented a Petition from the Pro prietors of Land in the county of Northampton, praying that the Proprietors of the Birmingham and London Rail way might be charged with Poor-rates, not according to the line they occupied, but in the ratio of their profits. Referred to the Committee. General O'NEIL presented three Petitions from con gregations under the Synod of Ulster, against the plan of Education, proposed by Ministers, for Ireland. CLERKS OF THE ROADS. Mr. COOPER presented a petition from Messrs. John ston and Co. the newspaper agents of Dublin, complain ing of the privileges enjoyed by the Clerks of the Roads. The petitioners stated, that among many other privileges which they enjoyed, was that of being at liberty to send their papers by the penny-post in Dublin free ; whereas all other newspaper agents were made to pay a penny ; and though he allowed the post-office was closed at five o'clock without a fee of a halfpenny, they could send any newspa pers_addressed to them up to the very last moment free of any such imposition. The Hon. Member then proceeded to read a circular issued by the Clerk of the Roads, which eulogised the privilege s thvy possessed, and urged persons to take advantage of it. The Hon. Member then proceeded to state that it was: to the interest of the Clerk of the Roads supplying newspapers to delay the mails, and to engage postmasters at afferent towns, to the injury of other news paper traders, to deliver their papers in p re f erence t o the others. The petitioners stat e d t h at i n mail instances gentlemen who were subscribers to the Clerks of the Roads had their papers 24 hours before those who were supplied by them, and on a complaint being made on the subject to the Post-Master-General he expressed hie regret that the many material limitations and restrictions that had been ulaced upon the Clerks of the Roads had not satisfied the other newspiper agents, and refused to interfere fgrther. The Hon. Member made no complaint against the Noble Duke at the head of the Post-office, as he felt confident that the case had not properly been brought before him. The Clerks of the Roads had salaries connected with other offices that they held, of such a description, as would make them independent, notwithstanding any arrange ment that might now be made.—( Hear.) The Hon. Member then read the following correspondence between Messrs Johnston and Company and the General Post-office, relative to the abuses complained of, to the great injury of the Press, the mercantile interest, and the public at large. Chapter Coffee-houie, St. Patin. Chttreh-yard, 18th Feb., 1822. sus,--I beg to acquaint you that our (Johnston and Co.'s) bag, containing Newspapers and periodicals, has been detained by the mate of the steam-packet, and handed by him to Messrs. Elliott's (parcel agents) servant, who conveys it to Dublin. These gentlemen state that they are acting under the direction of Mr. Goddard, Post-office Agent at Holyhead, and sinless authorised by him cannot deliver it at Howth, and they have written to that gentleman, who has referred to you for your di. rections how to act. I can hardly think it necessary to point out to you the ex treme hardship of our case, that a parcel (or bag), the carriage, freight, &c. of which is paid by us, and the additional expense of having a confidential person to receive it at Howth, is not to be delivered to us there, where it is directed, but to be conveyed to Dublin, and then told that the power rests with the General Post-office. Now, Sir, give me leave to ask, if this be the case, may it not be carried to Cork, Belfast, or elsewhere ? To prevent delay, expedition being our object, we have delivered to the proper officer of customs of Howth, a key which opens our bag, and on his examining and discharging it, we consider we are then fully entitled to receive it, and therefore beg you will instruct Mr. Goddard by this night's post to cause it to be delivered to us at Ilowth, on Monday morning, to prevent further delay. With this exception I have the honour to be, Sir, Your faithful humble Servant, Sir F. Feeling, Bart. ALEX. JOHNSTON, Jun. General Post-office, Feb. D. 1832. Sin,—l am commanded by the Post-master General to in form you, that, having made the necessary inquiries at Holy head, his Grace does not consider it expedient to make any alteration in the long-established rules and regulations, as to the conveyance and landing of parcels sent by his Majesty's packets from that port, as desired by your letter to me of the ISth instant. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, F. FREELING. Mr. A. Johnston, jun. Chapter Coffeehouse, St. Paul's Church-yard. The Hon. Member concluded by recommending th• case strongly to the attention of Government. The abuse of the privileges exercised by the clerks of roads was most extensively injurious, not only to newspaper agents, but also to the newspapers them selves. He felt assured, that if extended, and facility were given to the transmission of newspapers, great addi tion would be made to their subscribers. Mr. Shaw, Mr. H. Grattan, Captain Gordon, and Mr. Maurice O'Connell supported the petition. Lord ALTHORP said, although he could not pledge himself that what the petitioners complained of would be remedied, he would give his best attention to the subject. Mr. HUME considered it of the greatest importance that public servants should be prevented from interfering with the business of any other profession. Not only in the Post office in Dublin, but also in the English Post-office, there existed great abuses, and he hoped that Government would take up the subject, if not, it would be his duty to take the sense of the House on the impropriety of allow ing public servants to interfere in dealings with news. papers, or any traffic i❑ t, hick other persons are engaged. Lord ALTHORP said the question was, whether there was not in this case advantages counter-balancing the dis advantages. Sir WILLIAM HORT presented petitions from two parishes in the county of Kildare, praying for the total abolition of tithes and church rates in Ireland. The petitioners humbly submittul that the exaction of tithes and church rates in Ireland was a grievance without ex ample in history—inconsistent with reason—subversive of all social order, often attended with the loss of human life, and hostile to the interests and true spirit of the Protestant religion and of Christianity in any form. The people of Ireland desired not a commutation of the grie vance, but its total abolition.—(Elear, hear.) Nothing short of this would content or tranquillize the country. He was aware that there were circumstances which im posed upon Government the necessity of exercising discre tion on the subject. As this was the first time he bad pre sented a petition to the House on the subject of tithes, he begged leave to state his individual opinion that the time had come when the House and country should fairly meet the question of a Church establishment in Ireland, and that salaries of every description should be proportioned to the labour given. Every true well wisher to the Protestant Establishment desired it to he brought into those relations that would prevent it from falling to pieces by its own weight. Mr. RUTHVEN bore testimony to the orderly con duct, in the midst of rather exciting circumstancea, of the petitioners. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Members of the Council of the Political Union in the eastern part of London, praying the appointment of a Committee to en quire into the history of the introduction, and the pestilen tial charaeter, of cholera, as it existed in this country. The lion. Member stated that he could not concur in the prayer of the petition, but would venture to offer a sug gestion to the Noble Lord opposite, that a regular return of the number of persons that had died by typhus and other diseases should, accurately, and upon some fixed uniform principle, be made. Those that were now re turned by the parish clerks of the metropolis were ex ceedingly imperfect. He expressed a hope that his Ma jesty's Government would lege no time in giving their atten tion to this subject, for whilst the deaths by one disease only were held up to the public without comparison, un founded alarm was necessarily superinduced. Mr. SADLER hoped that the regular system of registry would in future be adopted, not merely of burials but of births in the country. There was great importance attached to this subject, as these calculations governed, in some measure, the various computations in our public offices. Mr. HUME presented three petitions upon the subject of the Anatomy Bill—one from Leeds, signed by 12,000 individuals, and another from the medical students of the college of Glasgow, urging the necessity of dissection to medical art, and the propriety of withdrawing the restric tions that were now imposed on it. They suggested that unclaimed bodies should be allowed to be used for that purpose. He had a petition from the London College of Me dicine. Certain medical gentlemen have associated them selves into a body called the London College of Medicine ; and by their petition they stated the great importance of affording facility to dissection ; but they considered the sale of dead bodies would be extremely injurious, and therefore objected to the clause legalizing the sale of them. The HON. GIENTLEILAN presented a petition from per sons employed in a Cotton manufactory in Lancashire ; and also from persons employed in a Cotton manufactory near Stockport, against certain provisions in the Factory Bill. He also presented a petition from the Friendly Society of Hull against the Registration Bill ; and another from the persons confined in Whitecross-street prison for debt, praying that, as the cholera was in that neighbourhood, the House would take into its con sideration the crowded state of that prison, for the purpose of being prepared to afford them relief, and also to avert evil consequences resulting to the com munity at large, should the cholera make its appearance there. The Hon. Member considered this petition well deserving the attention of his Majesty's Ministers. TAXATION ON NEWSPAPERS. Mr. HUME had a petition to present, signed by 900 Members of the London General Political Union, which prayed for the repeal of all Acts of Parliament imposing any stamp or tax on newspapers and cheap publications. The lion. Member prayed the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in particular to this petition. It stated such important facts, that he was quite certain if Government were desirous of seeing the country satis fied, they would adopt the suggestions deduced in the petition from those facts. He was aware of the vast im portance of the matter which had lately been press ing on the attention of Government, and that only he considered the reason why it had been left to the pe titioners to bring forward the subject as they had done at this late hour. The petition took a survey of the number of commitments that had t len place throughout the country during 1830 and 1831, and sheweil that of those committed, very few indeed could either read or write, from whence it was to be inferred that the offences in respect of which the commitments had taken place, had proceeded en tirely from ignorance. The Petitioners, therefore, contended, that the time was now come when taxes on newspapers and cheap publications must be put an end to. There could be no doubt that the revenue would be touch benefitted by removing all taxation off such publi cations, and imposing a trifling postage on the transfer of those publications. There was no town in America con sisting of 1,000 i n h a bit ants i n w hi c h there wee n o t a daily newspaper published, and yet in Edinburgh no daily newspaper appeared. In New York there were no less than seven, containing all sorts of informa tion. This was owing to there being no tax on them there. By this means information was easy and cheap. He thought that for conveying newspapers and cheap pub lication, a distance of 100 miles, a halfpenny each might charged by Government, and for upwards of 200 miles probably a penny. By this system, and without any tax In the publications, a much Lager revenue would be pro. laced than was now netted by the Government. In formation in this way would br very generally dif fused, and in a short time no such distressing occur ence would be repeated in this country, as was wit nessed yesterday in the neighbourhood of Finsbury. square, that of forcibly resisting by crowds the speedy re moval of persons who had died of the cholera, that others might not he made to fall victims by unnecessarily keep ing the corpses. At the same time he would take all these taxes off, he would have a school in every parish as there was in Scotland, and he would have every parish obliged to educate the children of their respective parishes, as they were obliged to support them. In New York there was nut a child, from the ages of four to fifteen years, who was not put to school ; and in the 8,900 schools in that province, there were as many attending those schools as there were of population between the same ages. The petition was brought up. GENERAL FAST. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a person of the name of Robert Jones, of Liverpool, who stated that the order for the late General Fist had done a great deal of mischief by throwing all the labouring elatNes out of em ployment during that day, and prayed that in future a re petition of such an order should not be made. BANK CHARTER. Lord ALTHORP having moved the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into Committee upon the Sugar Duty Act. 11r. GfSBORNE said that before the Speaker left the chair, he wished to ask of the Noble Lord if what had been stated in the newspapers respecting the Bank Cbarttr, were true or not. He had read a report in a newspaper which professed to be an account of what had taken place at the half yearly General Meeting of the Bank Pro prietors. According to the report, the Chairman was made to say that Ministers intended to move for a Committee of the Hou , e on the banking sys'em in general, if there were time in the present Session. Lord ALTHORP said, that the paragraph in the news paper was incorrect in stating that he intended to move for a Committee, if there were time. He had already stated his intentions were positive. Mr. GISBORNE wished to know it the Committee were to he confined to the flank of England, or extend its inquiries to the banking system in general. Lord ALTHORP replied—the banking system in ge neral. SUGAR DUTY ACT. Lord ALTHORP said, before the Speaker left the chair he would make a few observations, in relation to the West India Colonies. Note ithstanding what had been suggested to him and urged upon him by Gentlemen connected with the colonies, he still felt it his duty not to state pub licly what were to be his measures with respect to tue Colonial Duties. He had, on a former occasion, stated to the House that it was the intention of Government to afford relief to the sufferers in the West India islands. But that relief was to be conditional on the colonists, according to the wishes of Government with respect to their slaves. As the sugar duties were to be continued only six months, at the expiration of that time there would be another oppor tunity of discussing that subject. The House was aware that since he had made his promise of relief, the ca lamities of a hurricane and an insurrection had be fallen the islan , ls, and therefore he thought that the mother country would afford relief without exacting the conditions at first demanded. The House had already agreed to grant a sum of money for the relief of those who had suffered by the hurricane in the Leeward elands.— That relief was aff,mded only to the lower classes, but it certainly was the intention of Government now to afford assistance to those who could give security for the payment of this money. Government would, of course, take care that the security was good, that they should have a priority of claim, and that they should not advance more money than the properly could repay.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that these measures would induce the colonists to have kindly feelings towards the mother country, and adopt those measures which they knew the mother country had so much at heart. Mr. BURGE understood that the relief to be granted was conditional, upon the colonists adopting certain pl ins for their internal government. This was to suppose that they would surrender all their rights, and Government were only offering relief upon terms which they knew must be rejected by every man who was conscious that he had been born under the British Constitution. The plan of his Majgsty's Ministers had produced throughout the colonies the highest degree of disaffection and discon tent. He could not mention a stronger proof of the feel ing on the part of his Majesty's Government, that they were making a tremendous experiment on the tranquillity of our colonial possession', than the fact that immediately after the proposition of the Government, and the speech of the Uuder Secretary of the Colonial Department arrive d there, there also arrived a proclamation of the King, which had for its objet to destroy that delusion which had pre vailed in the colonies, and which also had for its object to produce discontent in the the colonies; and to show the jeopardy to which Government knew they exposed the colonies, even in the Crown colony of the Mauritius, from which they could not hear so soon of the effects of the measure, they withheld the proclamation f and he be lieved that up to this time it had not been sent out. A cir. cular issued from the Colonial-office to the Crown colonies, and to the Colonial Legislatures, which breathed a spit it of direct hostility towards our Colonial Establishments, and which was of itself unaccotnpanisd by anything else suffi cient to show that the time had arrived when the colonies must cease to look to his Majesty's Government es the fountain of protection. It sheaved that an attempt was making to exhibit society in the Colonies as illiterate and possessing no information, and was, in fact, one in discriminate censure on society in those places. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman reverted to events recorded in colo nial history, in support of the views he had adopted on this point. With respect to the measure of conditional relief. he maintained that there newr was an instance of such a proposition being brought forward by the Government of any country. Here were Ministers, knowing that distress existed—knowing that they bad the means of relieving this distress, and yet they add, that this distress will be withheld, unless the colonists obeyed the legislation of Downing-street—unless they followed verbatim et litera tim the orders in Council. They were for proposing a penalty for disobedience on persons, two-thirds of whom were neither competent to obey nor to disobey the orders in Council. What, he asked, would be the feeling among a great mass of the colonial population, when they found that, although ships of war were sent out, and an addi tional military force, to repress insurrection, ministers still persevered in that plan which had made such a powerful impression and created so much excitement when it was first announced ? For forty miles the country was a per fect waste, and the whole slave population was thrown out of employ. The loan which the Government was going to advance to the planters of Jamaica, would be of little use, unless there was, at the same time, a policy adopted towards them, which would restore that confidence among them which was necessary to induce them to set about replanting their lands. The same effects had not yet beets produced in the other islands which the world had unfortunately witnessed in Jamaica. Similar discontent and disaffection were, however, known to exist there, for the negro population in those isiands partook of the same delusion by which the negro popula tion of Jamaica had been misled. In some of the islands he was informed that in consequence of this oircular of the British Government the slaves had refused to obey the orders of their masters. Instead of irritating these colonies, a wise Government would endeavour to win their affections by a course of wise concession and• conciliation. These colonies wished to continue united with Great Britain,—their natural affections as well as their interests led them to desire British connexion. But were Govern ment aware of the language in which the rulers of other countries were addressing these colonies? Had they seen, for instance, the language in which the Government of the United States spoke to them through the NorthAmtrican Review? To conciliate them was therefore no less a matter of duty than of policy. They had contri buted largely to the aid of England in her hour of danger, and their importance was seen in the eagerness of Government to raise these sugar duties upon their produce. It the Noble Lord had stated any mode of relief fur the West Indian planter,—if he had abstained from these pro ceeding at present,—if he had granted a committee of in quiry, in which all the relations of the colonies, and all the state of society in them, could have been explained to the country,—it he bad attended to the suggestions which had been made to him a the West Indian interests, sug gestions which were fo u nded on a just consideration, not only of what was due to the slave, but also of what was due to the master,—if such a mouse had been followed, either by the Noble Lord or by the Government, he (Mi. Burge) should not have persisted in his opposition to thi• motion, as such a course would have restored that security to property, and that confidence to the planters, which did not exist at present, without which the West India islands could not be prosperous. Lord HOWICK said this question was of great import ance, and c,aild only be brought to a satisfactory condo sion by mutual concessions—(Hear, hear)—and being convinced of that, he regretted the language which tt.. Hon. and Learned Gentleman had applied to the Govern ment. When the present Administration came into offict the Iloos••, by the reaolutiona of 18t2, was pledged to en deavour to promote the ultimate • xtinetion and immediate ouelioration of slavery by all the ne.iims in its power. All he Governments subsequent to 1823 had instituted or ',forced regulations in the colonies under the Crown, vhich had mitigated slavery and promised to lead t o its extinction. He would not discuss :those regula ,ions, but he would say that as far as they went ih. y were for the benefit of the slave, and had not injured the master. In the Legisl itive Colonies tl:e .xample had not been followed. He would not con trast the Acts of the Legislatures of the Colonies with the orders of Council of 1824. It was enough for him to say that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would not as. sent that by any Legislature had these reolations been carried into effect. What then was Government to do ? Vas it to leave slavery as at present? Were, the Ministers riot to follow the examples of their predecessors, who hail strongly and repeatedly recommended the Legislation of Jamaica to adopt the order of Council which had been carried into effect at Trinidad. If the Government Lad wished to follow such a course, the common feelings of humanity, as well as the feelings of the publie, would have rendered it impossible. The Government could not remain where it was. It was obliged, by the conduct of the colonial Legislatures, to take other steps. }lemon atrances had already been tried. A correspondence had been carried on since 1823, to impress on the Legislature of Jamaica in p irticula r the necessity of adopting the views of Parliament. At length the language of remon strance ceased to be proper. After the speech of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman it was necessary that the House should be made aware of what had been done by previous Administratmone. In 1823 a circular was sent out by Lord Bathurst ; a second circular was sent out on time 9th of July of the same year, addressing to them the strongest exhortations. The Noble Lord quoted the language of the dispatch calling the Legislature of Jamaica to execute the wishes of the Government with all possible celerity. A resolution was then passed by the Legislature of Jam mica, expressing surprise and regrete that the Ministers had sanctioned the principles of the enemies of the colonies. The Assembly even refused to entertain the notion of the ultimate extinction of s l avery. _ _ _ Mr. BURGE wished the Noble Lord to read the Re= port, because several measures favourable to the slaves were passed that Session. Lord HOWICK had not the whole Report with him. What he had read showed that there was a spirit in the Assembly of Jamaica which would render remonstrance, after nine years' of remonstrance, worse than childish. On July 30, 1825, Lord Bathurst sent soother despatch, expressing his regret that the measure for admitting shire evidence was rejected. On the 18th March, 1826, ano ther despatch expressed similar sentiments. On the 22c1 September, 1927, Mr. Huskinson, taking the earner view as Lord Bathurst, wrote a letter, representing, in strong terms how unsatisfactory was the conduct of the Legisla ture. He disallowed the Act of 1826, relative to slave evidence, on account of its clause against toleration. An Act passed, he was aware, in 1831, without these clauses; but it was important to recollect that Mr. Huss kisson pronounced the Act of 1826, even without these clauses, to be totally unsetisfactory. Further correspon dence ensued, insisting on the Legislatures of the colonies carrying into execution the resolutions of Parliament. In all these despatches the necessity was pointed out of the Government having recourse to other measures. The late Secretary to the colonies, Sir George Mur ray, wrote two circulars soon after his accession to office, in strong and decided language, calling on the Legislatures to adopt measures of a decisive character, they being equally necessary to ensure the protection of their own property and satisfy the people of England. He subsequently adopted, to the letter, the language of Mr. Huekisson. After so many proofs that further discussion would lead to no satisfactory result, would it not have been derogatory to the honour of the Crown again to ten der advice so often and contemptuously rejected. Either the Government must take measures to carry the resolu tions of 1823 into effect, or it must have asked the Par. liament to withdraw them. His great regret at the con duct of the colonists, was caused by the circumstance that it tended to injure the colonies themselves. The Go vernment was bound, therefore, to state what course it meant to adopt. Perhaps, indeed, it would have been wiser lead the course it now proposed to follow been earlier adopted. It was with a view of showing the colonists it was their interest to yield, that the Noble Lord (when the Member for Weymouth gave notice of a motion on the subject) read these resolutions to the House, which were intended to impose a different duty on the colonies which accepted the orders in Council compared with those which refused them. At the same time no tice was given that the orders in Council which Sir Geo. Murray had prepared, but left imperfect, would be forth with sent out to the colonies, with those conditions attendant on their acceptance which he le id already described. It was for these regulation', respecting the different scale of duties, that the Government were now especially ridiculed and attacked, and it was openly declared that these discretionary duties would have the very opposite effect to that which was intended. The Hon. and Learned Member for Eye (Mr. Burge) had exclaimed, " Did any one ever hear of such a monstrous proposition ? No such project ever entered the maid of Mr. Canning—no such project was to be gathered from the tenor of those celebrated resolutions of that Statesman on which the House had pledged itself to act." He (Lord Howick) bad undouatedly never denied that the most de sirable course, as well as the safest and speediest, for effect ing the emancipation of the slave, and securing his ulti mate comfort and happiness, would be through the means of colonial legislation.—( Hear, hear.) That he had never denied, and he would be most anxious to see it accom plished.—(Hear, from the Opposition.) But if any one contended that Mr. Canning did not contemplate fiscal regulations as au ultimate resource against the planters, he would say they did not interpret rightly- the sentiments of that Statesman. In the celebrated speech pronounced at the period:when he moved his resolutions on the erotione of the Member for Weymouth, Mr. C.tnnireg used the following observations :—" We hare a right to expect from the Colonial Legislatures a full and fair co-operation; and being as touch averse by habit, as I am at this mos ment precluded by duty, frost mooting ionginary points, and looking to the solution of extreme though not impose Bible questions, I must add, that any resistance which might be manifested to the express and declared wishes of Parliament—any resistance, I mean, which should par take not of reason but of contumacy, would create a case (a case, however, which I sincerely trust will never occur) upon which his Majesty's Government would not hesitate to come down to Parliament for counsel."— (Hear, bear, from the Opposition.) He (Lord Howick) thought this showed pretty plainly that Mr. Canning cow, tetnplated having recourse to coercive measures, if they were found necessary. And this was the more apparent from the language which the same Right Hen. Gentlemar. held on the 16th of March, 1821 :—" There are three possible modes," he observes, "in which Parliament might deal with the people of Jamaica ; first, it might crush them by the application of direct force ; secondly, it might harass them by fiscal regulations, and enactments restraining their navigation ; and, thirdly, it may pursue the slow and silent course of temperative but authoritative admonition. Now, Mr. Speaker, if I tun asked which course I would advise, I am for first trying that which have last mentioned : I trust we shall never be driven to the second; and, with respect to the first, I will only now say that no feeling of wounded pride—no motive of quee e tionable expediency—nothing short of real and dernonstrebf,e, necessity, shall induce me to moot the swirl queet' e ee o. the transcendent power of Parliament over every depend = envy of the British Crows."—(Hear.) And on >r subsequent occasion Mr. Canning also said, that although it Might be necessary to have recourse to a mute direct method of effecting the object of the Legislature, yet he was so anxious to see that object effected through the agency of the colo nists, that he would give them an opening for a further trial, and in 1826, be again declared that there was yet another stage is which the colonists might conform to the wishes of the Government, and spare the seeetaity of di rect interference. Was it necessary for hint to say more on the subject of the opinions of Mr. Canning? He now came to the Orders in Council which had been so much criticised. The draft of these orders had been printed. It had been sent to the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen op posite (Mr. Burge), and to several other gentlemen con nected with the West India Islands. It had been exa mined and commented on by the Learned Gentleman and his friolds. Their suggestions h td received Our consider ation.
