But he was of opinion, that whatever sacrifice , they were disposed voluntarily to m ike, they should never leave insisting on the acknowledgment of their legal rights, and protesting against the invasion of their pro ocrties by any measures by which the one or the other were afflicted, without their consent. The first point to which he should allude would be those clauses which per mit the intrusion of the Protector and Assistant-Protector on our estates and into our negro houses at all hours of the day and ni.iht. He mentioned these provisions of the order in council less as having a personal objection to their enforcement than as affording a clear instance of an invasion of private property. When we or our fathers paid the price of our slaves and of our land, either to the Government or to to those who had acquired them from the Government, no such powers were in existence; it they had been, no such purchases would have been made." Mr. Jackson next proceeded to inveigh against tir'e restriction of the hours of labour which he sug gests should be 14 or 15 hours, instead of the more limited number prescribed by the Order in Council. " It would he a mere waste of time (says he) to enter into any calculation of the loss which the proprietor would sustain by the enforcement of these restrictions; it would amount to the total destruction and annihilation of their property : and in this light he was sure it was viewed by every person who was present at the meeting. The great and irreparable injury which the colony would sustain from the enforcement at these clauses h.►d induced the Committee to use every exertion to obtain from the Governor some modification of them previously to the pro mulgation of the order, but they had been unsuccessful." To the regulations for determing the quantity of food and the kind of clothing to be given to the slaves, as well as for fixing the number of holydays to be allotted them in the year, Mr. Jackson, as the mouth-piece of the planters, expresses objections equally strong in language and feeble in argument. All these objections proceed on the contradictory idea that the relation between the master and the slave is at once that between a freemen and his em• ployer, and between a chattel and its owner. Nothing can be more incongruous or absurd than such a mixture. Whenever slavery is established, the self-protection of the slave is at an end; and if he is to be considered as possessed of any of the rights of humanity, these rights must be enforced or supported by some extraneous power. It is. therefore, not only the prerogative but the duty of a Government, so long as it permits one man to be " the proprietor" of another man, to appoint guar dians, for the protection of the slave's person, to re gulate his hours of labour, to limit his amount of punishment, and to superintend the provision made for supplying him with clothes and nourishment. The planters object to this guardianship as an in terference with " private property," while, if they rightly understood the matter, it is precisely because the slave is " property," and cannot protect him self, that the State steps in fur his protection. We have neither leisure nor desire to pursue this sub ject further at present ; but we cannet help observ ing that the threat of rebellion thrown out by the planters, if Great Britain persist in pressing upon them the necessity of ameliorating the condition of their " property," is at once impotent and ridiculous. Could they exist a day in the midst of a hostile race, whom they are employing every means to provoke and exasperate, by the refusal of every reasonable concession, if deprived of the protection of a foreign State ; and what other State would they prefer to Great Britain ? They talk of the obligation which they impose upon us, by sending us sugar and other colonial produce; do we make no return to them by giving them the monopoly of the greatest market in the world ? Nay, in their absurdity, they speak of the taxes which we levy upon their produce, as a boon conferred by them on the mother country; while iris notorious to every body but a planter, that the taxes on whatever cimmodity levied are paid by the people of this country themselves : and might he levied on colonial produce from Brazil or from Cuba, as well as from Jamaica or Trinidad. The heaviest and most productive tax, on any article of luxury, with which we are acquainted, is the tax on tea, Do the Chinese assist us to discharge that duty P—Times. not survive, unless immediate assistance be given.

We mentioned on Friday that we has received a Trinidad aper of the 14th of Jauuary, containing, in its supplement, a report of the proceedings of a great meeting of the planters of that island held on the 6th of the same month, to oppose the commands of the Crown respecting the treatment of the slave population. The deliberations of that assembly re lated to the Order of Council of the 2d of Novem ber last, intended to enforce the political improve ments of our colonial policy, which had been pressed upon the colonies nearly ten years ago, but which had hitherto been but partially carried into effect. Successive ministries since the celebrated resolutions of Mr. Canning were carried in the House of Com mons in May, 1823, to soften the slave code and to prepare the slaves for ultimate freedom, had per sisted in the spirit of the declarations then made, and of the system then adopted. The colonial office has been held successively by Mr. Huskisson, by Sir George Murray, and by Lord Goderich ; but, supported as the resolutions were by the people of England, none of these Ministers, though they had been willing (which they were not) to depart from the deliberate hu manity of British legislation, could have abandoned or changed them. Since 1823, the colonies, both with and without colonial legislative assemblies, have expressed a reluctance to comply with the whole or particular parts of the regulations founded on Mr. Canning's resolutions, and trans mitted for their guidance. In some cases that op position has appeared in the shape of remonstrance or petition, in others it has become factious and menacing, and in some even insulting and rebellious. It is the more surprising, and the less justifiable, that our colonies should thus manifest their hostility to the Government, that the Government has been actually called upon by the country to go much further than the resolutions at first adopted, and has thus been obliged to remain an assailed moderator between the contending parties.

The second object is to enable the sugar grower to realise a fair and reasonable price for his pro duce. The high duty upon sugar acts grievously upon the interests of the West India colonists, and, therefore, it should be largely reduced ; but if it be not expedient, from financial consideration, to make so large a reduction as to cause the surplus to be absorbed, then a bounty upon the exportation of re fined sugar should be given proportionate to those charges which are imposed upon the West Indians for the support of various interests and objects of the Mother Country.

A few days since a carriage drove up to the shop of Messrs. Lucas and Co., in the Quadrant, from which alighted two middle-aged ladies, who were shown into an ante room for the purpose of inspecting some boas. Shortly after their departure a boa, valued at about seven guineas, which had been put by for a customer, and which had been greatly a d_ mired by the ladies, was missed. Suspicion at once alighted on the two ladies, and one of the firm having heard the coachman receive directions to drive to Highbury, the shopman immedi ately hired a cab, and went in pursuit of the fashionable depre dators. He was fortunate enough to come up with the carriage in the Regent's -park, when he ordered the coachman to stop, and sans ceremonie divested the neck of one of the ladies of the lost property. They protested that it had been taken entirely by mistake ; and their entreaties were of such a nature as to induce Mr. Lucas to take no further proceedings in the matter. The ladies were highly fashionable in attire, and the equipage was of the first-rate description. geminii six fluctibus obstitit Ist The colonists of Trinidad, though more imme diately under the controul of the general Govern ment than our other colonial possessions with legis latures of their own, have shown that their recent conquest and their more complete dependence have not inspired them with more respect for the mother country, or with more reverence for her authority. N'Ve never read any speeches more absurd in matter, or more insulting in language towards Great Britain than those delivered at the meeting to which we have referred. At this meeting the parties agreed to protest against the Order in Council, to a peti• tion to the King for its repeal—a petition to the House of Commons, and a petition to the House of Peers for the same object. With this protest the chairman, accompanied by a deputation, imme diately proceeded to the Governor to propose m•tigations or changes in the order. The Go vernor, of course, could not comply with their request but offered to transmit their representa tions to the Government at home. On the return of the deputation with this answer several violent resolutions were proposed, and some more violent speeches made. Among others, a Mr. White " proposed a remedy,—the only one, he con tended, which could be efficacious,—thar until re dress was afforded they should refuse to pay taxes." This suggestion was at first received with enthusi asm, but afterwards abandoned from prudential con siderations. At the conclusion of the meeting, a permanent commission called the Standing Trinidad Committee, appointed to meet regularly for the de spatch of business every three months, was proposed and agreed to. This committee will no doubt be come the little Parliament of the colony. Such a brief outline of the proceedings of the unauthorized colonial assembly of 'Trinidad on the 6th of January last, proceedings which may be considered authentic, as the principal speeches bear evident marks of being corrected by the authors themselves. The chief performer on the occasion was a Mr. Jackson, who proposed the resolutions, the protest, and the petitions. In order, therefore, to know the parts of the Order in Council to which the colonists mainly object, and to ascertain the spirit in which their op position originates, it will only be necessary to attend to his address. Mr. Jackson, and of course all the colonists, object to the interference of the Protector of Slaves—to his payment out of the funds of the colony—to the shortening of the hours of slave labour, and to the regulations respecting the quantity of provisions to which the slave is enti tled. The orator, after some harmless sneers at Lord Goderich—which we suppose his Lordship will easily forgive or scarcely feel—proceeded to criticise the despatch to the Governor which accom panied the order. In this criticism, lie was so happy as to meet with that concurrence and applause which he could have expected no where else than in a slave colony. His Lordship had said (speaking of the mode of paying the Protector,) I cannot be a party to so gross an act of injustice as to refuse to the slaves, from the property created at their expense, whatever may be required for their ade quate protection." In this proposition there appears to us nothing absurd or irrational ; but to the plant ers of Trinidad the matter bears a different aspect. Regarding their slaves, as their cattle rather than their fellow-creatures, they bluster about their " rights of property," and forget the rights of their slaves to protection : " The only real difficulty," says Mr. Jackson, which embarrassed the question of colonial slivery—thatdifficulty to grapple with which it would require intellects and ar guments (neither European or Colonial) of a very differ ent description from those exhibited in the despatch—was altogether overlooked. The question was—supposing it to be necessary that a measure of amelioration should be adopted, for which expense is to be incurred and loss sus tained,—on whom is this expense and this loss to fall ? The colonist ought not to pay them. He acquired his property in slaves under the sanction of British laws and by the di rect encouragement of British Government. Slavery was no new institution : it had prevailed in all climates and in all ages of the world. The rights which it confers, and the obligations which it imposes, were as well known as those which are attached to any other description of pro perty : those rights consist in their master's power to ex act the labour of his slave ; the obligation was to pro vide for his subsistence, clothing, and care in sickness and in old age. The price which the purchaser paid for his slave, brought and sold here under the express sanction of the British Government, was regulated by the value of the whole of their legal rights, subject to these legal obliga tions, and no others. If the obligations are increased, and the rights restricted by legislative enactments, the value of the property for which, under the sanction of the existing law, the whole price has been paid, is proportionably diminished." But Mr. Jackson objects more strongly to the intrusion of the Protector than to his mode of pay ment. This intrusion, he it understood, is only to see that the slave is not tortured, or that the planter does not use "his property" in man worse than he would use his other chattels. The strange perver sion of intellect and feel , ng created by inhaling the air of a slave colony, and being obliged at the same time to use the language of Europe, could only account for the following confused rhapsody about universal philanthropy and the assertion Of "property" in the blood and bones of a fellow creature : " He would now make a few observations on some of the principal clauses of the older which appeared to him to be most injurious to property ; and here he must be al lowed to say, that in the wide circle of his Majesty's do• minions there breathed not a man who would more cheer fully receive, or more zealously promote, any measures which he considered would ameliorate the condition of be negro-saves, and which were not inconsistent with the Just rights of the proprietor, Nay, more,--he was SUGAR COLONIES. We, the undersigned Merchants, extensively con nected with the British West India Colonies, arid burthened with the maintenance of a vast number of estates, are anxious to take this mode of convey ing to your Honourable Committee, our united opinion in respect to the present most critical and alarming state of colonial affairs, and we shall be ready, if called upon, to confirm that opinion by per sonal evidence. We respectfully beg to call the attention of your Committee to the accompanying copies of two Me morials submitted by the West India mercantile body to his Majesty's Government in May, 1830, and July, 1831, representing in forcible terms, the unreasonableness of expecting that our Colonies, with various restrictions on their trade for the bene fit of the mother country, and its other dependen cies, and with increased cost of labour, arising out of the abolition of the slave trade, and various ex pensive obligations imposed upon them for the be nefit of the slave population, should be able to raise sugar at as cheap a rate as Cuba or Brazil, which carry on the slave trade, and have a free intercourse with all the world ; and yet the policy now pursued by this country forces them into this ruinous and un , qual competition. We beg further to call the attention of your Com mittee to the statements in those memorials, proving that di..tress and discredit had arrived at such a point, from inadequate prices on the one hand, and interference with the rights of property on the other, that the whole frame of the Colonial system must inevitably be broken up unless immediate as sistance were given by the Government. For the accuracy of these predictions we need only refer to the numerous failures of mercantile houses which have since occurred, involving in their fall not merely the ruin of numerous families in Great Britain, but even the partial dismemberment of several of the estates which depended on these merchants for support. Confidence and credit have been so utterly destroyed as to render it necessary to curtail the supplies sent out for the comfort of the slaves arid the maintenance of cultivation ; and even, in many instances, bills drawn from the Colonies for the payment of contingencies and taxes have been dishonoured. It is no small aggravation of this distress that the article of rum, which partially supplied the place of currency in the Islands, is at this time almost without value either here or in the Colonies. We entreat in the most erirnest manner, your Honourable Committee to consider that this is the actual commencement of the very state of Colonial extremity which has been predicted, directly lead ing to an abandonment of cultivation and to hope less disorganization amongst the negrees. We respectfully trust that you will feel the necessity of recommending, ere it be too late, some decisive measures of relief; not merely out of regard to the vast and various British interests which are involved in the fate of the Colonies, but for the sake of the British consumer and of the revenue; since it must be obvious that the abstraction of so large a portion of sugar from the general supply to Europe as that now produced by the British colonic., must for many years greatly enhance the pi ice of sugar, and thereby diminish the consumption and the revenue. Urom our experience as merchants, we can so lemnly assure your Honourable Committee, that the Colonies, as useful possessions of the Crown, wilt HOUSE OF LORDS. A message from the Commons (Mr. Cr.tmpton and other members) appeared at the her, begging of the r Lordships' a copy of the evidence given before a select Committee of their Lordship' House to enquire into the sub ject of Irish tithes. Clayton's Divorce Bill was, after some discussion, be tween Lord TEYNHAM and the LORD CHANCELLOR, read a second time. The Bread-baking (Ireland) Bill was read a third time. IRISH EDUCATION. The Archbishop of ARNIAGII presented three peti tions from various parts of In land against the new plan of national education. They were signed not only by Protestant dissenters, but by Members of the Church Establishment. The Right Rev. Prelate was of opinion that no plan of religious education could be effectual which authorised the Scriptures, or portions of them, to be with held from the children. Earl of ELDON, in rising to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, said—it might be the opinion of many of their lordships that he would have acted with more discretion if he had taken no notice of the imputations which had been cast upon his character in another place ; however, it was not in accordance with his feelings to be silent, and he hoped he would be able to lay such facts before their Lordships as would make them accede to the motion with which he intended to con clide.—(Hear.) He bad served his King for upwards of forty years, and during that long time he had acted so as to satisfy his own conscience. He had never covicted the place of Chancellor—he could assure their Lordships opposite, that he had never thought of any thing higher than the office of the ChiefJu4ticeship of the Com mon Pleas, where he would have been content to have remained during his life; but he had found it im possible to attain his wish, consistent with the duty which he owed to his Sovereign. He had been charged with making the high office of Chancellor subservient to the making provision fur his family—this be totally denied— he had been accused of making no less than six places for his son. Ht never made use of the appointment with which be was charged. There were two reversionary places which he was solicited by his late Sovereign George 111. to take them for himself, but he had de clined, and the papers which he meant to move fur, would prove that he had taken them for his son, at the express solicitation of his King. The appointments were not made when he became Chancellor, but some time in the year 1805, after he had been in office four years. Neither of these offices had yet become vacant, nor did he consider them of any value further than as being a mark of his Majesty's favour. In the year 1813 it was the pleasure of Parliament to create the office of Vice Chancellor. On the creation of that office, had, he, Lord Eldon, consulted his own interest ? The fixed salary of the Lor Chancellor was five thousand pounds per aflame, and immediately after the creation of the Vice Chancery ship, he (Lord E.) gave up 2,5001. a-year out of the 5,0001. That he had done from 1183 until 1827, when he quitted office. More than that, for the same number of years he had given up upwards of 1,8001. a-year in order to in crease the salaries of persons connected with the Bankrupt office. Lord Lauderdale held as office for three lives, the last life eapiriog in 1818 or 1819. He (Lord Eldon) was pressed by several persona to fill up the office, whick he refused to do. Notwithstanding this, he had been held out day by day, as being influenced by nothing but the love f lucre. With respect to the offices which he had given his son, three-fourths of the benefit of those offices he never could enjoy, and with respect to the rest, tie e moluments to he derived from them woul4 nee reimburse him fur ts,at exp anlitute which his father peen at. tor the purpose 44 est .tal.e.

He begged pardon of toe House for having detained them so long on asubject pers anal to himself. A slur, however, had been passed on his chi.. A man, his wife. and two children, were brolteht up by the street-keeper, charged with Laving beefs found sleeping on the steps of a door on the overnight. The man said he had come up from Manchester to seek for work, but without success ; he had been allow►d to sleep iu the straw•house in Whitecross-street, but the overseers of the refuge had timed Lim and his family out last night, be , cause one of his children was taken ill, Five sailor-lads were next brought up, charged with the same offence. They had all been inmates for a few nights in the refuge, and had been ejected, as they were unwell, which two of them attributed to sleeping on the damp straw provided in the asylum. The LOAD MAYOR, having disposed of the eases by or dering temporary relief, took occasion to remark on tin very heavy tax which the system pursued at the RefUge for the Destitute laid upon the city. It war the means of collecting vaerants from all ports of the kingdom, as trey readily obtained straw at the refuge to sleep upon, but at regular intervals they were disembogued into the city, which, by that means, became constantly infested with dif. ferent vagrants.

IVallam Donkirs and William Davis were charged under the following eircutnetances. - Earl, a constable of Cripplegate, said he met Davis that morning, about half-past seven, with a hamper on his back, the contents of which be said he did not know, hut he was to take it to Mr. Arnold, of Smithfield. Dunkin shortly after came up, and told them it was all right ; it was a subject going to Smith, the porter at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, and it had not been Burked, Laving come 130 miles. They were now close to the hospital, and Davis was turning into it, when Earl stopped him. A third man now came,, and on being told not to interfere, shelved fight. Earl and a patrol secured Davis and the hamper, but Dunkin and the other made their escape. The former was subsequently re-tek.!n. lie was a noted resurrection-man, and usually called Poney. Mr. Dixon, an undertaker, said the body was now at the watch. heuse, and appeared to be that of an old man, who had died of distress. It bad never been interred, aid could not have come 130 miles. The body looked blue, and the deceased might have been reported to have died of cholera. _ Davis said helad been liked to carry it from the Bull lan. The Magistrate remanded both prisoners, that inquiry might he made into the affair. Dunkin, on being taken out of the office, s iid, " I with the subject bad died of cholera, and :hen you might have all caught the eliehse." MARLB OR 0 U GII• STREET. A youth named Thomas Woo ford was examined on a charge of robbing his master, Mr. Sweet, carver and gi'der, 32, Frith-street, Soho, of various descriptions of property to a considerable amount in value.

BRUTAL DEPRAVITY.—Some wretches in human shape in the village of Carlton thought fit to celebrate the holyday of Shrove Tuesday by an act of wanton babarity. A fowl was turned out into an open field, and pursued by a number of boys, from seven to ten years old, with their hands tied behind them. The poor bird had .then to run for his life : several of the lads fell down upon it at the same time, holding it with their mouth by the legs and other parts of its body. In the struggle for the fowl one of its legs was actually bitten off, And the persecuted creature died apparently in the most excni ciating pain. So disgusting an act of cruelty is an eternal disgrace to all who were concerned, and deserves to be visited by the penalty of the law.—Nottingham Journal. have been favoured wish tne perusiil cif a Aer from Lisbon, addressed to an of here, in which he says, Miguel is novr quite aware that pore.
