SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIA LPA LIAMEM THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from Derbyshire against the new system of education in Ireland. Mr. DIXON and others from the Commons brorteht up the Dartmouth Pier Bill, the Large Harbour Bill, and another private Bill. The Scotch Cholera Bill waa read a third time ami passed. The Consolidated Fund Bill and the Meeting Bill went through a Committee, an 4 were reported without amend ments. The Earl of ABERDEEN had some petition to pre sent against the Malt Drawba, k Which stood for Committee this night. He had great doubts whether ihat Bill would not be most prejudicial to the interest of Scotland aad the revenue.—(Hear, hear, hoar.) Be fore the introducton of this syttcm, the st tte of many parts of Scotland was most deplorable. Numerous parties of his Majesty's troops were distributed throughout :bat country, which was generally one of the most peaceable, yet the traders, in the illicit distillation of spi rit., often had the temerity to attack the troops, and the question had led to a general relaxation of the morals in that country. The Noble Earl then presented petitions frotn the landholders and magistrates of the counties of Aberdeen and Kincardine. Lord AUCKLAND mid %Le object of the Bill was to prevent frauds in that trade; hut Ilse proper time for the discussion of the question was, when the Bill ware. gularly before the House. (Hear, bear, The Bill then went into Committee, and was revorted. Lord DTLAMEEE presented &petition from the county of Chester against the Reform Bill. _ _ The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presentH petition from an individual - against Reform. The Marquis of BRISTOL presented a petition fiom Ipswich against the new system of ~ ?titication in Ireland, COUNTY OF WEST3IEATH, The Marquis of WESTMEATH, in rising to make motion of which he had given notice, was desirous to assure the House, that he felt no hostility to the Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish Government, He would now disclaim having any such disposition against the Noble Earl opposite (Earl Grey) or those who supported ported him, to many of whom he was indebted for the seat which he had the honour of holding in that House. He felt, however, that a crisis ;n - pubic affa rs had arrived, which entitled every mail to think for himself.-- Hear, hear.) He geve every man lati tude to speak his sentiments et such a conjuncture; he trusted that the Noble Earl would allow the same privi leges to him. He felt considerably embarrassed in bring ing the subject before the House, but such was the state of Ireland, that he could not pass over his motion. It was not out of the minds of their Lordships that in conse iinence of a petition the state of the county of 'Westmeath was such as to reqeire the magistrates to meet, in order to consider the best course to adopt for the preservation of the public peace, and the security of the lives and property of the inhabitant.. He hart no hesitation to confess that he was one of those Who had convened the meet ing, and every magistrete, as well as every gen tleman, who intended to take nut a commission of the pearl- had attended the meeting. He had heard the Nul le Lord diodare that he thought it hie duty to apply to Yarnaruent for further powers. Hiving heard that declaration t - f the Noble Earl, he thought he was acting for the best in bringing the question before the con sideration of the House.—( Hear.) 'This he had con sidered the course the most prudent, discreet, and in every respect the most likely to restore public tranquillity. He hart hoped that when affairs bad come to a certain state, or at least when they were aggravated by the opposition to tithes, Government would have been prepared to act, as if the state of society in that country had been overturned. He had set forth facts to Government of a eature to induce them to act in the manner be had anti cipated. With reference to society in Weemrath, he would beg leave to state a few things which occurred in the coun try. About four months ago an honest, innocent man had entered a public house, where, in the course of conversa tion, he had accidently said, the sate of feeling among the lower classes was such, that every man stood in his neigh bour's way, and it was a pity for their own sakes this; they should go on so.—(Hear.) In less than ten minute+, the man was way-lain and murdered. The murderers were well known, several of them were brought forward at the Assize, and not a particle of evidence appeared against them—and what did the House think—why, they were acquitted.—.(Hear, hear, and a laud laugh,) It was no longer safe for any honest man who prosecuted a faction to live in the country, Persons would give their information before a Magistrate, but they could taut be induced to come forward and substantiate their evi dence in a Court of Law. Three months ago he hed had a sm .11 property in Ireland, and a party of insurgents paid a visit to a man who collected tythes for his agent. What did these men do on the occasion of that visit? Why, they they took ail his money and burnt all his books. He (Lord Westmeath, took no notice of this. But about five months since he found a notice stuck up, declaring that the people should pay no more tithes to him till the Reform Bill was passed. He had sent an individurl to know from each party whas was the state of their account of tithe', but not one single individual would produce his last receipt. --(Hear.) What wauld any Member of that House say if told tt at his property was to be kept in pledge for his vote in the Legislature. Fifty Magistrates of West meath bad complained of the misrepresentations re specting the petition to which he had alluded, and trey particularly complained about quartering the dead cow into several haves, and giv ing them to th e ir t enan t s . H e b e li eve d t h e M agistrates o f - 'Westmeath were as respectable as any in Ireland, and if paced them in a ridiculous light, to be tr• ated, as thei had been, by Government. Shortly after this calumny of quartering a dead cow in mane halves, there appears an article in the press, stating that the Magis trates of the county were thirsting for the blood of the people. He wished Noble Lords to reflect on the effect which such a statement as this would have on the people of that country. The observation went among the people, and he knew it was fact that ha should be held forth as thirsting for the blood of any person. The Noble Marquis then read extracts from the speech of Mr. O'Connell, delivered at Clonmell, several parts of which created considerable laughter in the House. This, continued the Noble Marquis, was the man who had au• dressed tionselt to the grease and sweat of Brom ighan and cane to the Political Union, .eating how admirably calculated Englishmen and Irishmen were to be united together, and that all the disputes had hitherto arisen from misgovernment The argument he drew from the reading of that was, whether the Government, who had suffered things like these to go on up to the last moat en t, or the Irish Magistrates were to be charged with indifference. The Noble Marquis then read part of the r e ply 0 1 the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to Ire address of the Magistrates of the county of Westmeath, which he charac terized as a complete farce, and a shilly-shally way of get ting rid of the subject. He deprecated his Majesty's Government pursuing such a course, and observed that it was true there was an Administration existing in the country, taut where the Governinene. was he could not discover.—(Laughter.) Noble Lords might laugh if they pleased, but lie, as a Magistrate, would not be detarred from doing his duty, and from stating his conscientious opinions on this subject. He was the last man who would wish harsh measures to be exercised towards his fellow-subjects in Ireland. His wish was to Be, measures of amelioration and coercion going hand in hand ; but if his Majesty's Govern ment would not take a subject of so much importance into their most serious consideration. He thought it tvd,. the duty of the Magistrates of Ireland to exert themselves on the subject. The Noble Marquis concluded by moving that an humbho address be presented to his Majesty, praying that his 'Majesty would be pleased to order a copy of the address to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from the Magistrates of Westmeath and his Excel lencies reply thereto, to be laid upon their Lordships' table. I.;rd PLUNKETT considered that there was no ground for making any opposition to the motion. It was, however, a very unusual one, and extrem e ly unnecessary unless the Noble Ale.-quis meant to ground some other motion upon it. He thought the House would feel perfectly satisfied, if he were to leave the vindication of the conduct of the Noble Lord at the h ad of affairs in Ireland, and the peliey of Government upon the statements made by the Noble Mar quis himself. The answer of ti.e Lord Ltutenont appealed to idiu to have very prop rly at,ted the principles and polio) on which the Gi.vei unient acred. He (Laid Runkett, would mat ioilow the Not) e Marquis through the eatensiv topics which he had adverted to. He expected that his at tention would have been called to the addreses of the inhabi tants and Magistrates of the county of Westmeath, and the answer of the Lord Lieutenant thereto ; instead of that, the Heusi) had been entertained with: e‘itracts of a speeli of Jr.a O'Connell's, with 7. l .tir,p'ect to whose conduct the task not devilve him to speak, nor was it a part w his (Jut!, to criticise his tropes and metaphors. (Laughter.) • The Noble Marquis had felt himsel' hurt at the laughter which had taken plac e the House when he read that part of that speech, sup. posing that it had been levelled against him ; he could sure the Noble Marquis that a was entirelt mistaken on tkit pint, but the parts of the speech he had s lected teen of such a nature that it was impossible for the House to refrain from laughing at V em. tt the House knew what tf e of ject of the Niibte Marquis was in bringing forwarti this motion, or the course of poiicy he wished to be pursued, they were much more enlightened upon the sutoject than lie (1... rd Plunkett) was. What were the fart, which had been stated by the Noble Marquis? Why that a person hail been cruelly murdered in the county of Westmeath, and that the p rsons charged with the murder had escaped because there was no evidence on which they convicted. He had yet to learn that any man in this country or in Inland c‘itild be prosecuted without evidenee. (LEFT SPEATAI:G.) HOUSE OF COMMONS, On the motion of Sir M. S. STEW ART, the Lags Har bour Bid was read a third time ) end pawed. Mr. TREVOR present '1 a , petition from some place, the name of which tve could not hear, against the Birming ham and Undor. Railway. Mr. EVANS presented a petition from the leaseholders. bankers, merchants, and traders of Leicester, in favour of the Birmingham and London Rail-way. Mr. BUCK presented a petition from the parish of Exeter, against the Exeter Improvement Bill. Mr. DIXON presented a petition from John Long, a writer in Glasgow, praying he heard by Counsel agninst the Bill for making a railway between Edinburgh and Glasgow.; The Ron. Member then moved the third read ing of the Bill for extending the period for building the additional bridge over the river Dee, at Chester. On the motion of Mr. DuNnas, the second reading of Morton's Patent Slip Bill was postponed until this day week, Qn the motion of Sir T. FREEMANTLE, the House n'ent into a committee on Col. Clayton's Divorce Bill, Sir G. CLERK in the Chair. Mr. Harrison appeared as counsel for the petitioner. After eeveral witnesses had been examined, The House resumed, and the report was brought ❑p. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the Vicar, Churchwardens, and Trustees of St. Pancras Church, 3liddlesex, aliainst the Metropolitan Cemetary Bill. Mr. HUME gave notice that he would move on Mon day for a return of the number of persons holding more than one dignity or living, with the salaries attached. A message from the Lords announced that their Lord ships had given concurrence to several private bills. Colonel DAVIES moved for a return of the expenditure of the colony of New South Wales, Van Dieman's Land, during last year, on account of the transportation of con victs. Mr. BURKE presented two petitions, most respectably signed, against the pre,ent system of education in Ireland. Captain GORDON bore testimony to the respectability and importance of the petitioners ; they were of that class of society which entitled their opit ions to the bighe,t consideration. Mr. TREVOR was sure, that however advantageous were considered the general principles of education, unless they were grounded upon true scriptural doctrine , , they woulJ be of little importance. • Mr. LEFROY, in supporting the petitions, called the attention or his Majesty's Government particularly to the fact, that not only was the feeling of England and Ireland generally against this measure; but, what was more extraordinary, the whole bench of Bishops, entirely so, as a system ot religious instruction. He hoped this would induce them to retrace their steps, and to leave the matter as it was before, under the Kildare•street Society system. Mr. RUTHVEN thought it was not placing the bench ot Bishops in a very attractive attitude to introduce them, as the Hon. Member below him had done, as the enemies of general knowledge and instruction. He hoped, at all events, that their exertions would not, if dir,cted i❑ that way, be of any avail. Mr. LEFROY had not represented the Bench of Bishops as the enemies of education—he had only adduced their opposition to this measure, as he had a right to do, as a system of religious education, to prove that it was not a system that should be sanctioned either by the Legisla ture or the nation. NAVY CIVIL DEPARTMENTS' BILL. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the House re solved itself into a Committee on this Bi'l, Mr. Bernal in the Chair. Sir G. COCKBURN begged leave to call the attention of the Committee for a few moments to the principal tendency of this measure. The Bill, as it was represented to them, was framed for the purpose of giving more efficient con trout over the management of public expenditure in the dad departments. His opinion of it was, that it would be much more inoperative for this purpose, as it appeared, than as the Boards were formerly constituted. If an admission audit were applied to the former ac counts, a touch more efficient measure than that now proposed would have been the result: The Hon ourable Member for Middlesex had stated on a previous evening that, under the operation of this Bill, accounts would at least be as efficiently managed as under the former system ; but the principle of this measure, he would remind the committee, was to make an improve ment. It was a favourite principle in the Finance Cem• allure, that individual responsibility should be put on those who were in charge ot the different departments, as that was the only means of securing adequately their attention ; under this system, however individual responsibility was studiously taken away. The only person :men tioned in the Bill, and that for a particular purpose, was the Accountant-General, and all the re poneibility that was formerly afforded to the public would now be done away with. What was to be substituted for it ? A Lord of the Admiralty was to be placed over each of then). To remedy the evils complained of, it would be much better if the individuals that were intended to be placed at the heads of the Departments were constituted into a Board by themselves, having no distinct responsibility fur the due execution of their duties. The auditing of ae ceunts which was proposed under this system w a s a ll a pretence, to which he saw every possible objection. There was no sufficient responsibility any where, and those per sons who had the controul were kept in the back ground. He was sure if all the details were to be brought officially to the Admiralty, had to °vet look to ()ser look she whole, could not possibly do their duty. If at this moment it were set to work, it could not go on for any length of time, even in peace ; but if a war took place, it would completely stand 'cid, unless, indeed, it were left to others than those chiefs who were entirely irresponsible. The Board of Ordnance was the Board which had been more particularly held op as a pattern than any other Board. Where that Board differed from the present was this.--in the Board of Ordnance a chief of each department formed themselves into a separate Board, and they had a chief over them— ;he Commander-in-General—and they were each respon sible, one to the other. The whole thing, therefore, might be traced to the Comtnander-in-Chi.-1, who certainly had his subordinate agents, hut who was responsible for the whole. Here the principle ought to be the same—there [ ought to be responsitile, instead of irresponsibk persons appointed. With these observations of objection he had prepared a proposition which, he thought, would meet the vie..s he had been holding out to the Committee. and which was to the effect, leaving out the greater part of the clause as it now stood, that after the number of persons were reduced an adequate number of ,persons should be appointed to superintend respectively one of the several branches into which the civil department of the navy might be divided, such petsous together to be assisted by a claimant to conduct the business of the respective Boards, the whole to be subject to such arrange ments as the person holding the situation of Lord High Admiral should from time to time direct. Sir B. MARTIN, in seconding the Amendment, went into detail to show the improper mode in which the pasted ledger was made up; when be intended to move fur cer tain returns, the Secretary of the Admiralty wrote to the Navy Board, to ascertain certain particulars up to the let Oct. knowing that he (Sir B. Martin) left office on the 15th Sept. as if for the purpose of showing that the olame, if any, attached solely to him, and showing what number of clerks, and what was the time which was occupied by them.—(Heir, hear, hear.) Tne answer of the Navy Board, completely removed all particle . 0 blame from the Navy Board, and placed it on the Admf ratty Board. By a paper which had been laid on the table ot the House, it appeared that at the time wi.en the Right Hud. Batonet stated there were large arrears, there were no arrears at all. It was said that Lord Melville nad effected a reduction in the Navy .vards ' so as to have lily an establishment of 6000 men . ; that order, upon cooking at it, signed by Lord Melville, instead of :nakin 4 such a reduction, did not apply to re.mce the number of men hut to seduce the wages, and to cause . the payment of what was called ship-money to cease, rather than order the discharge of the ;nen. The Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Grabora) then required the re duction to be made to 6,000 men, and to reduce to ex- ienssa to correspond with that number, and • that it war barged that the Navy Board did not obey those instrnc ions; lie Sir Ilayrn Martha reieiked to the Ad oiralty letters, in which the reports of the Navy Board as to as to the obeying of thus. orders were highly approied of. Ke, to the charge against the Navy Roatd, that no reduction in the estimates hag been made, he had r.ll order signed by a Lord of the Ad miralty, showing, that in 1829. the wages of the men amounted' 480,0001-, and in the following year 445 000/.. therefore there was a reduction of 35,000/. Therefore. it was extraordinary that every charge made by the Right Hon. Baronet against th e N avy B oar d was e rroneous. The Hon. Bartonet (Sir B. Martin) proceeded to detail other items in which reductions had been made, to show that instead of 250 men discharged, as stated by the Right Hon. Barobet, it amounted to 657, and including inferior officers the total number discharged would be 720 men. Therefore the Right Horn Baronet in all his points to prove the disobedience of the Navy Board failed, and the documents he had referred to contradicted hint. Then as to the embrzz'etnent of five tons of copper, it was extra ordinary that of the charger of nenlect agaii et the Navy Board, the paltry embehiement of five tons of copper should he ::: - rought forward. He investigated that circum stance, the particulars of which he explained, and stated that he first heard of it by a letter from Birmingham, asking if it was illegal to purchase copper bearing the King's mark. His answer was sent by a Bow street officer, and upon inquiry he found the embezzle ment could not be discovered owing to the system adopted by the Navy Board. Then as to the charge of making imprudent contracts, why that charge should he brought. against the Navy Board when all the contracts were made with the approbation of the Admiralty. The Right Hon. Baronet did not ent i re ly re l y u p on his own judg ment, but said he had the authority: . of Mr. Barrow, that the Admiralty could undertake the management of all the business of the subordinate boards, besidc that of its own. Mr. Barrow, in his evidence before the Finance Committee said that he did not know how the Admiralty Officers could be reduced, for they were all fully worked, and then there were several Lords of the Admiralty—now there was but one, was it likely he could undertake the duties of the Admiralty and the su bordinate offices ? It was extraordinary that at this inernent the French formerly endeavoured to do what the Admiralty were now attempting to do, to have the whole Admiralty, Nay, and Victualling Boards untie. one head but Charles X.visit,d England, he war so struck with the then English system, that he instantly adopted it (LEFT SPEAKING.) rim LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING. \VAR-OFFICE, 6th April l8:12.

MEETING OF THE WEST INDIA TRADE, THURSDAY, APRIL 3. (Concluded from oui Paper of yesterday.) Mr. JEREMIAH HARMAN, banker, rose for the pur pose of proposing the 4th resolution. In doing so he stated, that he stood there as an individual wholly uncon i.ected and uninterested, but he was bold to assert that there was not a man in the kingdom who was more sensible than himself of the alarming state in which the colonies were paced, and he had no reserve in giving it as his opinion— it was a humble, but not a hasty ,orated one—that if the same system should continue to be pursued, the wort lea. s of the greatest alarmist in the present meeting would he realized.—(Cheers.) He had been invited to the meeting, and though he should have been exceedingly glad to have bean excuse I, Colonel BERESFORD seconded the fifth resolution. He should not hare been able to overcome his reluctance to address so numerous and respectable a meeting, had it not been for the manner in which he had been called upon lo give his testimony as a man who bad been in the West Indies to that of the Gentleman who had already addressed them. The negro idea of emancipation was perfect freedom from work. Emancipation without utter idleness was by no means what they wanted. Whilst this erroneous notion prevailed in the minds of the negroes, they were evidently in a most unfit state to receive that freedom which, consulting all proper interest, he, as well as every other humane man, must be anxious to grant. He concluded by expressing his agreement in every word of the resolution. Resolution put and carried. Lord SALrouN, in moving the seventh resolution, said that it truly described the effects of the clamour which had been raised against the West Indian interest. Unfortunately a species of hostility had for some time existed between the Government and the par ties which this meeting represented. The effect of that had been most disastrous in more respects than one, for it had prevented any one from lending them a shilling on their property, although their produce had not fallen off in quantity, or prices materially charged. He imputed no improp,r design to those who had r,ised this clamour, but whether th.-ir objects had been political, re ligious, or philanthropic, the ,ffect had been such as he had mentioned. Without, after they had been detained 44a long, going into further detail, he begged to move the seventh resolution. Sir EDMUND Ilvnis EAST seconded the resolution. This was the most serious question which had been agitated in this country for a century past.—(Hear, hear.) H e came forward as a W es t I n di a proprietor to express hi concurrence in this resolution. He thought this question of too great importance to be decided by clamour, or indeed any thing but•the principle of justice, equity, and sound national policy. Clamour had, as they all knew, unfortunately interposed in the decision of this question. He entirely acquitted the individuals who originally had brought the subject before the public of imptoper motives, but, unfortunately, in the course of t h ese discussions, they had been induced to set forth circumstances and opinions which had undoubtedly raised the clamour of which they now had to complain. It was not merely of those parties they had to complain, but of the Government, the Parliament, and th e p e ople, who, yielding up their better judgments, had given way to this clamour, and acted against them. He did not wish to take up the ti me of the meeting, but there was one point of the utmost importance a which practicalhe could e n if o e t; abft continuing advert It was, wh a t must syst em w hi c h went be the to th e utter destruction of the Nt,est India colonies ? ' Hear.) Those who bad first raised this question, dd urged that the slave trade was in itself a great aborni ,iation, and next, that the slaves were not prop er ly t rea t e d in W estlndies. In eDs'etqtience of the se assertions, those mea sures had been taken which had brou g h t on the present tuhe crisis. Let them now consider the consequences of the next Th e W e st India 'colonies w e re now step they took. ~r 1 the verge of destruction—(dear, heir, hear)— ind nettling but the strong arm of public opinion coup . - escue th-m from it. The next step might plunge then Oto the gulf that yawned to receive them. Th. -ffect of this clamour had been to warn other countries, an they had in consequence completely stocked themselve' with slav,s—indeed, they had overstocked themselves, a, th a t the effect of the clamour had been directly the revers. of what its originators contemplated—increasing the mi. •erns and horrors of the slave trade sixfold, instead of conducing to the happiness of the African race. When, therefore, the destruction of the British Wes India colonies was completed, those foreign colonies which had been active in this proscribed trade, would reap all the benefit of our forbearance, and suppl) this country with colonial produce. He heartily con curred in this resolution. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. The Hon. Mr. LASCELLES rose for the purpose of pro posing the Sth resolution. In doing so be considered that he ought to apologise for having taken upon himsel. a duty which as many gentlemen present were much more able to perform. The Resolutions referred to a declaration made by Lord Goderich, and af terwards repeated I,y Lord Althorp, that any future mea sure with respect to the West Indies was to be band on the prin iples of the order that had been issued from the Council-office. He could not but state to the present meeting a fact which was notorious to them all, that the West India in terest had long laboured under the most severe distress, and when not only the West Indies, hut the whole of England, had made themselves heard, both by Ministers and Pat liament—( Hear)—and when they had forced them to adopt some legislation on the sub ject. Government had told them that they would give them relief, but that it should be accompanied by a sort of intimation. He would not say it was done for the purpose of throwing obloquy on them, but by a sort of insinuation against them.—(Cheers.) Instead of adopt ing this course, which threw the West India Proprietors into contusion and difficulty, he should have thought it much better policy on the part of Government to have removed all difficulties they might labour under. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the Sth resolution. W. R. ELLICE, Esq., seconded the resolution, and hoped that it would meet with the same cordial appro bation that had hailed the preceding ones. The resolution was put to the meeting by the Chair man, and by him declared to he carried unanimously. Mr. R. DLINDAS, M.P. in moving the ninth resolution, said that he was well aware that it would ill become him to trespiss at any great length on the attention of the meeting after the m my powerful arguments that had been adduced in favour of the subject for which 'he meeting had been convened. He came Isere totally unconnected with any West India interest. He derived no portion of income from any connexion with that country; but such were his feel ings on the present subject, and such was the duty he con sidered he owed to his country, that he could not refrain from addressing the meeting, on being asked to propose this resolution. The resolution which he had to propose for the adoption of the meeting was the ninth. He felt the absolute necessity of maintaining the possession of the West India Colonies ; and all that lie asked for those injured and depressed colonies was what every individual in this country would expect if his pro perty was to be taken from him—namely, that strict justice be done to him. No person was more anxious than he was to ameliorate the condition of the slaves in the Wcst Indies ; but he should con sider it unworthy of any Englishman, or any person who hell a title to property by rights as secure as pro perty was in this country—he should consider it derogo tary if they accepted relief only on the condition that they complied with the orders in Council.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman TtiomrsoN, in seconding the Reso lution, congratulated the present meeting on its great numbers and respectability. On no occasion had he ever witnessed so numerous a body, and to his mind the present occasion was one justly calling far such an assemblage, and requiring the deliberate attention which hid been given to it that day.—(Hear, hear.) He would remind the meeting that probably on the result of that day's proceedings would depend, not only the wellbeing of the colonies, but that of this country. From those colonies England had derived her wealth, importance, and in fluence as a nation.—(Hear.) He considered the Orders in Council of November last inconsistent with the reso lutions proposed by Mr. Canning and passed by Parliament in 1823. He believed that as far as his information went, the West India planters had with alacrity and the hest possible feeling given effect to those resolutions. And who were the defaulters ? the Executive Government of the county. What were these resolutions? They had been alluded to frequently, and it was right they should go forward to the public in their expressed terms, that though determined, but at the same time judicious and tem perate enforcement of the measures was recommended, such an improvement should he effected in the slave population as would fit them for a participation in the privileges en joyed by other of his Majesty's subjects, but did it not re quire time to mature the fruits of education ? Did it not require time to teach the children the obligations they were under to their master, the King, and Government ? When those fruits were ripe, it would be time enough to come forward and propose alterations in the treatment of the slaves in the West India Colonies, but in pre sent circumstances their interference would only increase the alarm, anxiety, and ruin, which was now appari ntly gathering over the colonies. It would be unpardonable of him, after so many hours' discussion, to trespass longer on the attention of the meeting ; but he would say as an humble individual. and as a Member of the House of Commons, he would use his best efforts to obtain for their cause at least a fair and impartial hearing, and if the subject was only fairly considered, and fully investigated, sure he was the result would he vcry differ ent front what the Government by their Orders in Council seemed to contemplate. He concluded by seconding the resolution, which was then put by the Chairman, and car ried unanimously. Lord REAY then moved the 10th resolution. DL. COLVILLE felt that it was unnecessary to say any thing in support o• this resolution. In the extremity of colonial distress there was great necessity for relief. He was himself a possessor of pro perty in the West Indies, and with all his different opportunities of forming an opinion, his convic tion was, that independent of all danger and dis tress arising from the politic situation of the colonies, the pressure from inadequacy of price for their staple commodities had for the last three years been so great that many estates could not produce sufficient to defray the expenses that were necesarily incurred by their cultivation. It would become necessary then for this county to choose one of two things. I he colo nies must either be driven out of cultivation, or the public must give such relief as would produce that degree of improvement in the price, as would enable the planters to meet the necessary expenses of cultiva tion. The destruction of the cultivation of the West India colonies would not he limited only to one department, but would operate on all branches, and spread extensively over all the colonies. So great a deen , ase, for ex ample in sugar, would be the result of this destruction of the cultivation, that its price would reach a famine price, and it would be impossible to make up the de ficiency of supply in less than ten years. And one million of slaves wou4l require to be transported to the Brazils, in order to make up the deficiency. It was for the sugar consumers to interfere in this matter. It was their interest as well as the interest of the planter to increase the price of sugar, or ultimately they would be completsly deprived of it. He then seconded the resolution. Mr. WARD, in moving the eleventh resolution, said, he might be asked, why, during the period lie represented the city iu Parliament he had not expressed himself on the s ubject—his best answer would he, that during the period lie was there, while he could always obtain an abundance of current statements and speculative opinions, be could arrive at no well-established facts. It was in order to obtain these facts, and place them in the proper light, that he venturned to request their co operation and assistance in passing that resolution.— H ea e, lnar.) He deemed it necessary that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, should be placed before the attention of the public, because passion had been excited, and because there existed a class of persons in the country who, whatever their intentions might be, thought that the end fully justified the means.—(Hear, hear.) li e hoped the time would not be long before con fidence would he established in some degree ; but till that time, it would be totally impossible for capital to be productive.—(Hear, hear.) The country would remain with abundance of estates, but with no means of raising a shilling upon them. Alderman COPELAND seconded the resolution, and de precated any interference by Government with the treat ment of the slaves. The planters were the only adequate judges of what was proper or expedient in that matter. Mr. NicrioLsoN, a person in the Hall, then addressed the meeting. He stated that he was no West India Fr - prietor, but as a trader in London, and as a consumer ~f sugar, lie felt himself called upon to say a few words.—(Hear, hear.) The interests of England were identified with those of the West India Colonies; but he complained that while the meeting had passed re solutions declaratory of evils to which they were subjected, and of evils that they were sustaining, they had suggested no remedy to improve their condition. It was his in tontion, therefore, to propose a resolution on the subject. if the people of England did not come forward and iden tify their case with that of the West India planters, they could - shortly have no interests left. As a consumer of .ogar, with 20 millions of people, he gave it as his opinion. that if the West India propriety understood their Owl !Arrests, they would adopt measures to create double ti c lemand for sugar; and in consequence the exporta 'ion of British manufactures would be doubled. It be 'acne their duty, therefore, to appeal to the people o' England to support them, and meetings should be held it. ~very town in the kingdom for the same object. (Cheers.) I! he were to go into the subject of the importation of tea 'cc could show that the people of England did not use upon an average half an ounce per day each ; but if the) , consumed 30 millions of pounds of sugar annually, he would csk, that supposing the duty o❑ it and coff e to be reduced one-half, would it not erectly increase the con .umption ? Look at the consumption of coffee ; it was now ten times the amount that it was when the duty was double the present amount. It was their luty to show to the Government, not that the country could 'afford to lose 8,000,0001. a year, but to prove that they would get 10,000,0001. or 12,000,000/. whene they now got 8,000,000/. besides greatly improvine the condition of the people, and greatly increasing the exportation of manufactures. Therefore he wouH pro pose, as a resolution, that in furtherance of the object of relief to the West India interests, such measures should h e adopted as would supply the British consumer at a cheaper rate, would increase the demand, and pro mote the shipping interest; and that it would be expedient to reduce by one halt the duties on hemp, timber, anti every article used in building ships, on tea, coffee, sugar, cocoa, and other articles of general consumption— Then, and not till then, would they be able to com pete with the whole world ; and he was of opi nion that if some supestions were not adopted fly the London merchants, Liverpool would be London in twenty years, and London would sink into a village. Already were Liverpool, Edinburgh, Leeds, and Glasgow' looking for an opportunity of rising to greater eminence through the indolence of the London merchants. He was of opinion that if their eleven resolutions went through the world, as the resolutions of the trailers and shopkeepers of London, that they would be in sufficient without the adoption of some such resolution as that which he had proposed ; and he therefore called upon the meeting to adopt it as unanimously as that eleventh, with which it did not at all interfere.—(Hear, hear.) . . A Gentleman, whose name we could not learn, seconded the re... olution. The Noble CHAIRMAN having read the resolution, said that the Hon. Gentleman who had moved it might feel assured that the meeting were greatly oliged to him for his attention and zeal in behalf of the West India interests, and they might be as we'l convinc d as he (the Chairman) was, that that gentleman's intention was solely to promote the West India interests. But he (the Chairman) suggested that the most prudent course would he to withdraw the resolution.—( Hear.) The eleven resolutions which had been passed had for their object to lay before his Majesty's Government and the country, the distresses experienced by the West India interests generally, and to suggest some relief to be granted directly from the Government of this country. There their cause rested all but to re quest the Parliamentary inquiry to prove to mankind the truth or falsehood of those assertions which had been made against the West India body, and upon that examination either to recommend legislative mea sures, or to adopt any other means to forwad their object. The resolutions were, therefore, limi ted to a representation of their case. It was true that many of the things which were given in detail were already known to the Government, and the propositions made by Mr. Nicholson's resolution, regarding a reduction of duties, were also known to the Government, and there could be no doubt that if they could afford, consistently with the public credit, to reduce taxation, the effect would he to in crease the consutnption of the articles, and to increase the happiness of the people.—(Hear, hear, hear.) With no objection to the contents of the resolution, he would put it to the discretion of the gentleman whether he would insist in having it put. It did not form part of the business of the meeting, and it would be better, rather than open so large a field as that resolution would do, for hint to rest satisfied with having stated his views, and to know they were appreciated as coming from the best motive,' and the soundest principles.—(Cheers, and cries of, 6 ' Withdraw !") Mr. NICHOLSON said the power was out of his hands ; he bad launched his vessel, the sailors were the meeting, and they would say whether they would protect her or not.—(Cries of "No l") For himself he had no interest in the subject, but that of having done what he thought was right.—(Hear.) If the meeting, however, considered it better for him to withdraw the resolution, he had not the slightest oijection to it.— (Cheers, and cries of " Withdraw !") The CHAIRMAN then said, with Mr. Nicholson's per mission, he would consider the resolution was withdrawn. Mr. SINCLAIR said that in rising to propose the 12th resolution and to make the 25th speech, it was ne ces,ary that he should he very brief; therefore he would detain the meeting w►th a very few observations. We had now arrived at a most eventful crisis with respect to our colonies and their prosperity. The question now was, whether the colonies were to be relieved, or were to he allowed to go to complete ruin hs they had been doing for some time. He would say no more than that he would give the measure his most decided support in another place,--he meant in his place in the House of Commons. He then proposed the resolu ►ion, to the effect, " That petitions founded on these rm. lutiens be presented to his Majesty and to both Houses of Parliament." JOHN RAE REID, Esq., rose to second the resolution, and, as he was a man of business, he would at once come to the point; therefore, without going into detai:s, he cordially seconded the resolution, which was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. BortGE then rose and said, that the proposed series of resolutions having now been gone through, it fell to his duty to propose one more, viz., that of a motion of thanks from the meeting to their Noble Chairman for his sanction of their proceedings by his presence. He had most cordially approved of all the resolutions and senti ments which had been agreed to and delivered that day, and was happy that the meeting bad been so unanimous on the subject, for union was strength. He held an official situation in one of the colonies, so he bad thought it better not to offer himself to the notice of the meeting till their sentiments had been delivered, as then it could not be said that the meeting was biassed by any one closely connected with the colonies. There was now one duty which he would have to perform, that was, to write to his constituents a notice of the unanimity which had prevailed at that meeting, where their interests were the topic of discussion. It would give them a great deal of satisfaction to know that their case hid excised so touch sympathy, that even the spirit of parry bad been laid aside, and all had agreed that the interest of the Colonist should be protected. It was now his duty to propose that a vote of thanks be presented to the N..ble Chairman, who, by his temper anti ability, had given the meeting the character of a de liberative assembly. The Hun. Gentleman then proposed his resolution, to the effect—" That the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord Hsrewood, for the temper and ability which be had shewn, as chairman of that meeting " ... • Mr. Barctur rose to second the resolution. lie didorot, however, think that necessary, after what had taken place —the unanimity which had prevailed. The meeting were most deeply indebted to the Noble Chairman, and he had no doubt but that this resolution would pass with as much unanimity as the others. The resolution was passed amidst acclamation. Lord HAREWOOD briefly returned thanks, when the meeting broke up. The novel about to be published by the dis tinguished author of " Granby," is said to be entitled " Ar lington." Its design is said to exhibit the progress through life of a young Peer who, having come to his title during his minority, was peculiarly exposed to the schemes of parasites, and to the injury likely to ensue from injudicious maternal in dulgence. Wits, Roues, diners-out, gamblers, fortune-hunting young ladies, and other well-known characters of the day, re volve, it is understood, in the novelist's pages, as satellites around the rich and titled youth. e are not aware whether the circumstance of the House of Commons riot having sat last night will occa sion any alteration in the business intended to be brought for ward this evening. We allude to the committal of the Bill for regulating the civil departments of the navy. The arrange ments consequent on this measure involve, as we observed in a former Paper, a subject of some importance. Mr. Hume truly stated, when the navy estimates were under consideration, that the idea of superannuating the present Accountant-General of the Navy, by which the expense of a large retiring pension would be entailed on the country, was a measure that could not possibly receive the sanction of Parliament, and showed how dangerous it was to leave the Executive Government the power of getting rid of one of its most efficient servant:, for no other purpose whatever but to provide foj another. We have not the least doubt but the serious attention of the House will be called to the improper waste of the public money which this measure involves. The dead weight will continually in crease instead of diminishing, if, not content with the means afforded by ordinary casualties, Ministers avail themselves of the facilities supplied by the superannuation of able and efficient men to obtain places Mr their friends and Morrs so aro-Rick. =11111111="11" DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

Canning continues to negotiate with the Reis Effendi for the extension of the Greek frontier, and it was expected that be would be succt , s.ful; but when the last post left Constantinople, he had not had the usual audience of the Sultan, which excited some surprise at Constantinople, and induced a belief that the Sultan intended to wait for the pro gress of the negotiations, as in general Foreign Ambassa dors have a day appointed fur their audience soon after their arrival.

LETTERS FROM THE NORTH OF EUROPE. By C. B. Elliott, Esq.—" Few travellers, when they take up the pen to desciibe their wanderings, succeed in keeping up the reader's attention. The difficulties they have undergone rise up to memory in their narration, and render their efforts labo rious. We find no fault of this nature in the volume •f Mr. Elliott. lie relates incidents of danger in almost less time than they took in happening. At the same moment his busy eyes are not only on the path direct, but prying into the ♦arious and curious surrounding objects. A volume, therefore, written in a fluent tone of epistolatory correspondence, upon scenes of other and far countries, like the work in question, must be ac ceptable to every one. The author's adventures in Norway are particularly worthy of attention. That wild country never had a better historian, and few historians equal to the arduous un dertaking of its real inspection."—Morning Post, BIRTHS.
