APOLLO VOCAL C CERT, ' CONCERT ROOM, ADE HI HOTEL. THE Subscribers are informed t t the FIRST CONCERT will be held on THURSDAY, '27th June, 1833, and will commence at Eight o'clock in the vening, punctually. N.B.—The Society having taken a larger room than was first contemplated, the names of Subscribers will be received until MONDAY, the 24th June, (unless the List should be pre viously filled,) by Mr. LONSDALE, Bold-street; Messrs. 1-1131 E and Sox, Castle-street and Church-street; Mr. WEiss, Church street; and Mr. G. HOLDEN, No. 44, Stafford-street. , THE POLYCHRONOGRAPHIC PEN, Invented by James Ileeley and Son, Great Charles-street, Birmingham. JAMES HEELEY and SON f ee l gra tifi ca ti o n in being enabled to announce the completion of the POLYCHIZONO GRAP HIC PEN. To the Public Heeley and Son are known as the inventors of the Radiographi c P en , an d th e y c heerfully em brace this opportunity to tender their respectful acknowledg ments for the extensive patronage with which they have been honoured, and for the flattering eulogiums which have been passed upon their Peu by the leading ientific Journals and Periodicals of this and I °reign Cou ri r „ T es. o the RuAnto- GR APIIIC, however, there has been on objection, to which its inventors have directed particular attention,) and that consists in the inefficiency of the Rhadiographic and other metallic pens to supply the same quantity of ink as a common quill. In their endeavours to obviate the admitted difficulty, they have perse vered with complete success, and have now the pleasure of pre senting a Pen, which (from its phil oso phi ca l principle—from its mechanical construction, and the advantage of havin.g the powers of concave and capillary attraction,) will at each dip receive and retain more ink than can be held either in the quill or ordinary metallic pen at several charges. This superiority will be duly appreciated, though only one of the advantages possessed by the Polychronographic Pen. The fine quality and flexibility of the steel from which it is manufac tured, its peculiar form, and the attention which is bestowed on the mathematical construction of its slits, are such as to enable Heeley and Son with confidence to pronounce it as much su perior to other metallic pens as the latter are to the rude andl imperfect Calaratis of the Ancients. The piracies to which JAMES lIEELEY and Sox have been subjected, not only of their inventions, but in some instances (by a slight orthographical variation) of their name, render it imperative upon them to request that purchasers will observe, that on every genuine card is printed, " James Ileeley and Son, 146, Gt. Charles-street, Birmingham;" and, as an additional security, each card has, at very considerable expense, been ornamented with an elegant steel engraving, (the design being copy-right,) price Tw o Shilli ngs per dozen. Handles suited for these Pens cid 8d and is. 2d. each, on which is stamped "J. H. & S." and the price. Heeley and Son's PEN and EVER-POINTED PENCILS only Is. 6d. each.

Knowledge, TIBRARY OF ENTERTAINI.oiG KNOWLEDGE.— 4 Since the commencement of this, series an important im provement has been made in ,the f of binding in cloth, by preparing linen so as to resembl orocco leather, and bY stamping the title of the - book upo the cover itself, in gold, instead of affixing a label. The publisher would be glad to avail himself of these inventions, which have rendered binding at once elegant and cheap; but the number of volumes of this series already issued in plain cloth, with a label, prevents the immediate adoption of the improved mode, as far as icgards those volumes which complete subjects already commenced. It is evident, that a want of uniformity between the new and the old volumes of the same subject would be a material inconve r nience. It is intended, tiwrefore, to complete the old subjects in pldin cloth, but to puli;ish all new subjects in fancy cloth. The works, however, already finished being in consta n t demand, it is also intended to make a New Issue of Monthly Volumes, in fancy cloth, so that the entire series may ulti ma t e ly be pro cured in the improved style of . binding. The new issue will be 'charged ss. per volume; and the order of succession will be as follows : NEW ISSUE OF 3IONTIILY VOLUMES. 1833 July I. INsncTs Vol. I, Aug. I. 11, Sept. 1. Oct. 1.

Their methods of filling decayed Teeth, without heat or pres sure, and of fixing loose, natural, or artificial Teeth, without wire or ligature, are too extensively known, and too highly esti mated, to require any lengthened exposition in advertisements. The instances 6f the perfection of this New Principle, as re gards mastication and the articulation of words, are so numerous in the British Metropolis, that likssrs. M. rely more on the good report of their patients than ifpon any thing which they them selves could publicly advance to recommend it; they cannot, however, refrain from stating that the imminent advanta ges of their system of constructing and fixing artificial PALATES and TEETH are in no case so evident as in giving the patient the power of clear and distinct pronunciation, more particularly in the sound of the Dento-lingual Double Consonant TH, whilst the nasal and palatel sounds are rendered perfect and uninterrupted. Messrs. M. submit that these are advantages of the utmost conse quence to Public Speakers, as well as to private individuals, la bouring underivtural or accidental defects of enunciation ; but when to them d'th added the appearance of juvenility, which their Artificial Teeth give to the countenance of aged persons—and that they are guaranteed to bite the hardest substance without pain or injury—they feel themselves justified in claiming that palm of superiority in Dental Surgery, which has been so unanimously awarded to them by the inhabitants of London and Paris, and other continental Cities. The Faculty are constantly welcome to witness the applica tion of the MINERAL S I:CCEDANEUM, which they so universally recommend. Attendance in Liverpool and Manchester daily. Charges as in Paris.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND.IIID. Stn,—l have received the following letter from a most re spectable gentleman, of unquestionable veracity, residing in the vicinity of Ilecktnondwike, in reply to a few inquiries I made of him 'relative to the character and connections of Henry Whitely, whose notorious pamphlet on West India cruelty has been so widely circulated by a set of frenzied partisans, amongst people ignorant or prejudiced on the subject, too easily be lieved. You will greatly oblige me by inserting it in your valuable paper, for the benefit of the public.—Yours, &c. - Liverpool, Jane 6, 1833. LEX TALIONIS. (COPY.) MY DEAR SIR,-When an individual offers himself to our notice, by his public pretensions for applause, fame, or noto riety, it is natural that we feel more than an ordinary inclina tion to know something about the birth, parentage, and educa tion of such a character. You have seen, I . presume, and probably read, a pamphlet written (or published) by Henry Whiteley, giving a most hor rible account of certain cruelties practised in Jamaica. I re peat, you must have heard Henry Whiteley the common topic of conversation. His praises have been sounded by Whig, Radical, anti-slavery advocates, and by all who claim superior pretensions to kindly feelings. As I have an opportunity of KNOWING the general character of the person who is quoted as an authority, (as little to be doubted as St. Paul,) I will, for your information, give you a sketch, which I am surprised no abler pen has long ere this favoured some of the journals with. Henry Whiteley's father was formerly a blanket. manufac turer at Heckmondwike, a poor-looking village about seven miles from Leeds. Ile was unfortunate, as it is termed, in business; sold his patrimony, and, to preserve him from pau perism. he was appointed master of the workhouse, or poor house, in the place of his nativity. Having sons, he brought them up to weaving blankets, and his son Henry followed, for some years, that occupation. The time of the young man (as he is now about twenty-one years of age) was not, however, wholly taken up with the business: having received from some body, or from himself, a call, as it is termed, to pray, preach, exhort, or hold forth to the sect called Methodists, in due time he assumed, or had given to him, the appellation of " local preacher." Confined in his operations, and limited in his use fulness, to his village, where, being known, he probably. was not honoured as a prophet, he shook the dust off his shoes and removed to London, to an uncle wh o p ossesse d s ome influence. It appears from his printed Narrative that he went out to Ja maica, and, being disgusted with slavery, he returned home after a few months' absence, to relate to our English what he had witnessed. Ile is at present residing at Ileekmondwike, better off in the world, buying blankets for the London uncle, and receiving the attentions of all anti-slavery friends. Now, my dear sir, the foregoing account affords matter for reflection, conjecture, and remark. In the first place, it is manifest that the ostensible reason given by Whiteley, in his book, for wishing to go out to Jamaica, was not the real one. Ile might, it is true, be anxious to act as book-keeper, and I can suppose that he would gladly have continued in such a tuation, but unfortunately for his future success, he (I have little doubt) manifested too great an eagerness in resumin,_, ,, his old favourite exercises, and finding the poor blacks ready to listen to his prayers, he would freely indulge in his holdings forth; a spirit of dissatisfaction would soon spring up in the temper of the slave; insubordination would necessarily follow, and the termination of Whiteley's attempt to make the slave believe, what he himself perhaps did not comprehend, would be dismissal from all civil employment. - - • . • When you receive your Jamaica version of this man's talc, I have little hesitation in saying that you will find that he preached, and prayed, and talked about emancipation, and all that kind of thing ; and, in his youthful sanctity, making the slaves believe that manna would be sent down from heaven to feed them when they became free. If we inquire into the former modes of obtaining a livelihood which the generality of itinerant preachers were obliged to re sort-to, we shall see that they were compelled to work, - perhaps in weaving, or at some more laborious trade. Now, the plan to escape the dull dr u d gery of working at an hone s t rade, was laid by Whiteley before he left England, and having once en joyed the luxury of hearing his own speeches and wi se expla nations; having once, tasted the sweets of an idle life, h e wou ld feel ill disposed to return to an active and useful one. His aim would be to preach and pray as much as you like, but t o wor k he would protest again s t w ith as muc h zeal as the black, if at this moment emancipated. You would read, at the end of Whiteley's pamphlet, a list of names of gentlemen who testified to having known the father of the young man. It is rather curious to know that those signa tures were obtained for the purpose of assisting Whiteley to gaiu a mercantile situation ; and I KNOW that those who appear in print do not feel satisfied in seeing their names attached to a pamphlet of which they knew nothing when they were re quested to certify. I am amazed to hear men quote Whitely as a good authority, who say they believe every w o rd i n hi s b oo k ; —y es , on t h e evi - dence of one man they condemn an entire population. Their faith is powerfully exercised on that subject, while the same men will not believe the evidence offered by respectable indi viduals in favour of the factory bill; they turn a deaf ear to that 'question, and decide against the most positive declarations that children are not worked too long in our factories. I have written a long letter on a subject which perhaps will interest you; if I have not devoted more time to this investi gation, you must find for me an excuse in the many calls which I have on my time. I have been contented to state facts. In the language of Junius I would say, that "the evidence which truth carries withit is superior to all argument."—Yours, truly, S. J. A Bill throwing open the profession of medicine in its far more general department is to be offered in the House of Lords in a few days. Phis Bill is said to have been concocted by the Lord Advocate of Scotland. Rear-Admiral (now Sir George) Parker has got the insignia of the Knight Commander of the Bath, vacant by the demise of Vice-Admiral the lion. Sir Henry Hothani. As the gallant Admiral, however, commands the squadron in the Tagus, he cannot be invested with the Order until his return to England Emperial Varlianunt. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JUNE 10. The Marquis o 1 QUEENSBERRY took the oaths and his seat as Baron Solway. He was introduced by Lords Poltimore and Say and Sale. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Richmond, and the Mar quis of Lansdowne, as Royal commissioners, gave the Royal as sent to the Soap Duties' Bill, the Starch Duties' Bill, the Saving Banks Annuity Bill, and 50 other private bills. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition praying for the abolition of negro slavery from Sutton-upon-Derwent, in 'Yorkshire, and five other places. Lord ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the shipowners of Leith, complaining that the ordinary duties paid in the ports of this kingdom. on Baltic timber were not paid in the Isle of Man, and praying . for an alteration of the law thereon. He also presented a petition from the royal burgh of Dum fries, praying for theintroduction of poor laws into Ireland. . . LOCAL COURTS JURISDICTION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the second reading of this bill till to-morrow.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, JUNE 10. The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 min. past 12. On the motion of Mr. HUME, the St. Luke's Poor Bill was read a third time and passed. A considerable number of petitions were presented, and among them, Mr. CORBETT presented one from the electors of Sandwich, having among others the signature of Captain Owen, praying for the expUlsion of Sir Thomas Troubridge from the house, he having committed a felony by obtaining appointments in the navy under false representations ; these consisted of declaring himself to be 21 years of age, when he could not have been more than 17. Mr. Cobbett admitted that he knew 'nothing of the truth of the allegations contained in the petition, which he left the reformed Parliament to deal with as it thought proper. Sir I'l-mains Tao ÜBRIDGE said the petition arose out of an election squabble, and regretted that a captain in the navy should have lent his name to this petition, knowing- as he did the merits of the case. He admitted that he hack been pro moted early in life, and was proud to say that Lord Nelson, and many of England's most meritorious officers had been pro moted under the same regulations. He had, however, served his six . years apprenticeship, and passed all the necessary ex aminations before he was made a lieutenant, and, his subsequent conduct had given satisfaction to his country. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that the petition be rejected, which was seconded by Sir Edward Codrington. Mr. MARRYATT submitted that as the petition contained a charge of felony, it could not be received on the ground of, for mality. Before the house came to anv decisibti, the clock struck three, and the Speaker left the chhir. The SPEAKER resumed the chair at five o'clock. Soon after which The Usher of the Black Rod summoned the house to attend the House of Peers, to hear the royal assent given by coin mission to several bills. On his return, the SPEAKER informed the house of the names of the bills to which the royal assent had been given. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. O'CONINELL asked the Solicitor-General whether he in tended to proceed with his notice of motion for a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt. The SomciToa.GENEnAL said it was his intention to move fot leave to brine . in the bill to-morrow. When it should be laid on the table, it would be for the house to deal with it then ; but lie would urge it forward as much as he could. There was great impatience iu the country respecting it. AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.-ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS. Lord ALTHOUP appeared at the bar with the answer of his Majesty to the address of the house respecting the affairs of Portugal. his lorsdhip A.ead the answer, which - was to the fol lowing effect : I have received with great satisfaction the expression of your concurrence in the policy which I have pursued with re ference to the affairs of Portugal ; and you may be assured that I shall use all my influence to put an end to the differences now existing in that unhappy country." (Hear, hear.) BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee on this bill, for the purpose of discharging it, in order to move that the bill be referred to a se lect committee up stairs. BRANCH BRANKS OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. Lord ALrilorip moved the order of the day for the house to resolve itself into a committee of the whole house on the ques tion of colonial slavery. Mr. C. FERGUSSON wished to ask the noble lord whe ther Bank of England notes were to be made a legal tender only in the payment of country bank notes, or whether they were to be made a legal tender in payments of all kinds, ex cept at the Bank of England and its branch banks. several members on the Treasury bench—" In all cases." Mr. C. FERGUSSON said that, in that case, he should give that part of the plari.his most decided opposition. Coionel PEIWEVAL asked the hon. member for Cork whether it was his intention to bring on the motion for the repeal of the union between Great Britain and Ireland? Mr. F. O'CoN NOR did not know that he was bound to give the hon. and gallant colonel any further information on the subject than that which his notice implied, seeing that the day for which he. had fixed it (the 2dth instant) had not yet arrived. lie would only say that he had not altered his intention of bringing it forward on that day. The order of the day, was then read, and the house went into a committee on COLONIAL SLAVERY. The CHAIRMAN having read the 3d resolution, "That all persons now slaves be entitled to be registered as apprenticed labourers, and to acquire thereby all the rights and privileges of freemen, subject to the restriction of labouring under condi tions, and for a time to be fixed by Parliament, for their present owners." Mr. F. BUXTON moved that the resolution be rejected. On a division the numbers were : For the amendment . . . . 42 Against it . . . . 324 Majority . . . 282 The original resolution was then agreed to. Mr. STANLEY said, that the main principle of the plan having now been agreed to, it remained for him to propose that which was a necessary consideratio n in the introduction of this mea sure, and without a preliminary vote for which it would be im possible for them to proceed another step towards the abolition of negro slavery—he meant the compensation which, in justice and equity, that house was bound, and which he was confident the country would be ready cheerfully, to pay to those ou whom they were entailing a necessary loss. In saying this he was well aware that there were many gentlemen who would be will ing enough to pay to the present proprietors of West India pro perty, such an amount of compensation as would cover the loss which they should ultimately be able to prove resulted from this measure; but in dealing with a question of such importance as the present, when they were taking away that which, without en tering into the question'Of abstract right, which he was unwil ling to discuss, by the law of - this country had been recognized as property,. and gad been made the matter of sale and purchase, of mcumbrance, mortgage, and family settlement—when they were dealing with this species of property, which was subject to the most complicated claims, the amount of which it was almost impossible to calculate—he did not think they would be - acting with that liberality which it was incumbent on the house to ex hibit in the consideration of a question of such magnitude; or that they would be successful in doing what it was so essential they should do during the trial of this great experiment—inspiring confidence in the owners of West India property and - those who had claims upon them—if. they left the maximum amount of compensation as a sub ject for future discussion and subsequent arrangement. Tim value of this property ought to be calculated not simply by the value of that which was actually taken away. There were other circumstances connected with it which it was but fair to take into consideration; such, for instance, as the value of the land, which was principally created and maintained by slave labour ascribed to the soil. If this were a simple question, they might deal with it differently; but, considering the very small numerical amount of representation which the West India in terest had in that house, though' it must be admitted that they had at least one able and gifted supporter—considering, also, the number of claimants on this property, some of whom were among the most helpless and unprotected class of the cotuum nity,—he could not but regard it as a circumstance of great importance—he did not mean to say of indispensable necessity —to secure in the execution of the proposed measure the con currence, the active co-operation, and the cordial consent, of those who were connected with that property; fur without that concurrence and consent it would be a matter of difficulty —not to put the plan upon paper, but to carry it into practical effect, without deranging and embarrassing the mercantile specula tions of this country. A strong necessity was imposed on that house to look at this question of money compensation, not iu a grudging and niggardly, but in a liberal and comprehensive point of view; (hear, hear,) and if he knew any thing of the feeling of the people of this. country, he was sure they would not care whether they paid a little more than the value of the_ pro perty iu the way of compensation; but they would 'take into their consideration the importance of gaining the co-operation of the West India body, and the risk which, without such co operation, must attend the execution of any plan for the abo lition of slavery. (Bear.) He had consulted persons well acquainted with the value of this kind of property, and after the most minute calculation which they had been enabled to snake with reference to the extent of human life, and the portion of the slave's time taken away from the planter's control, and taking the value of the slaves at the low calculation of £4O per head, they had arrived at the conclusion that the slave property n all the colonies was worth £30,000,000 sterling. The value f the_siave's time which was taken from the proprietor he ould not value at a lower sum than very nearly £15,000,000 s terling. Admitting for a deterioration in the value of the slaves during a period of twelve years, and not allowing on the other hand for the value of the children hereafter to be born, who, by the proposed plan, would be free,—taking this most unfavourable view of slave property, he could not reduce the amount of compensation which the proprietors .were enti tled to demand to a lower sum than that lie had just mentioned. He thought it best to deal frankly with the house, and state that the reason which induced him and the government to pi °- pose a larger sum than that which he had just now mentioned, £15,0U0,000, was this—that all those connected with West India property, without a single exception, had declared that, however anxious they might be that the mercantile transactions should not be deranged, they considered the sum of £15,000,000 perfectly insufficient for the purpose of compensation ; and that, in the event of such a sum being proposed, they would feel bound, for the protection of their own property and in terests, to abstain from lending their concurrence and assist ance in carrying on those mercantile transactions on which the very existence of the West Indies depended. On the other hand he had been assured by that body, whose importance it was impossible to rate too high, that if Parliament would con sent to vote £20,(0X),000 to the proprietors as compensation for the loss of their property, to be subsequently distributed according to such regulations as Parliament might think fit, that great interest would give its full concurrence to the govern ment plan, and would use any influence it might possess over the colonial legislatures in order to induce them to co-operate in the extinction of slavery. ( Hear, hear.) Ile thought it better to affect no disguise on this subject, but to state frankly and fairly the grounds on which government proceeded. It was possible that 1:20,000,(1X) might be inure than an equiva lent for the loss sustained by the proprietors ; but with respect to a . question of such magnitude, where a difference of £5 only in the average of the value of the slaves would make a differ ence on the whole of between £3,000,000 and £4,0(X),000, it was impossible for the house to come to any very close calcula tion. This, however, was certain; that it was &point of great importance to secure the concurrence of all parties ; and he believed that the people of this country would not object to the grant of a larger sum than he originally suggested in the way of compensation, if by it the plan fir the abolition of slavery could be safely and peaceably carried into effect. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving, that " Towards the compensation of the West Indian proprietors his Majesty be enabled to grant a sum not exceeding £20,000,000, to be appropriated as Parliament may hereafter think fit." Colonel DAVIES put it to the rig'it hon. gentleman whether it was fair to proceed with a question of such magnitude at that hour of the night. In his opinion this sum of £20,000,000 might as well be thrown into the sea, for all the benefit it would do the West Indian interest. The best way to relieve that in terest was to reduce the duty on sugar, and he gave notice of his intention to move an instruction to the committee on the bill, 'which would be founded on the present resolutions, to reduce the duty on sugar to 17s. the .cwt. Mr. J. SMITH said he had been in business 40 years, and had Vest opportunities of judging of the immense importance of the West Indian trade. The property of the ~West India proprie tors had been greatly depressed. Many who once possessed immense wealth had now not the means of sending their children to school; and he knew a lady of rank connected with the West Indies who had not even bread to eat. lie should therefore most cheerfully support the proposition of the right honourable gentleman, not only fur the reason he had just stated, but be cause he was told it would secure the co-operation of the West Indian interest, without which this great and important plan must fail. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GISBORNE wished to ask the right hon. secretary if it was quite fair and reasonable to call upon the committee to agree to the vote that night ? The right hon. gentleman first came down and talked of lending £15,000,000; he, in the second place, said that the right compensation was not to lend, but ab solutely to give the £15,000,000; and now, without the slightest preparation, he said that since the last sitting of the committee he had discovered that the right compensation was to give the West Indians £20,000,000. (Hear.) He (Mr. Gisborne) was not prepared to deal with millions in this hasty way ; he knew that some members had not expected that this resolution would come on to-night, and the committee ought not to be called upon, at that late hour, to decide what ought to be the maximum amount by, which they would be pledged. Mr. STANLEY said that, after what had been stated by the hon. gentleman, and considering the proposition before the house and the lateness of the hour, he should not press the reso lution that night. There was one point, however, he wished to mention, that, whatever might be the amount of compensation, no money would be paid to the West India proprietors, or per sons connected with that property, till the details of the measure were carried - into effect by the local legislatures. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN then reported progress. Lord ALT Hoar postponed the committee on the Bank charter acts till Friday. 330°10. This day is publishe4, "iVIERCATOR'S REPLY to Mr. BOOTH'S PAM PHLET on FREE TRADE, ai taken from the LIVER POOL STANDARD; with Two Letter on the Currency Ques tion and one on Taxation. By J 9 :4 GLADSTONE. Printed by S. FRANCEYS. To be had at the Standard-office, 7, High-street; Courier office, Castle-street, and at all the principal booksellers in Li verpool. ./ `<- STAMP DUTIES BILL The house then went into committee on the Stamp Duties Bill. Mr. HOME asked when the alteration in the advertisement duty would take place ? Mr. S. RICE said that the advertisement duty would cease next quarter. Mr. HUME suggested some alteration in the ,charging of ad vertisements in papers published more than once a week. Mr. S. RICE recommended hinvto propose it. when the report was brought up. A long discussion then took place on an objection made by Mr. Young, that the reduction of the tax on marine insurances was favourable to the underwriters at Lloyd's, but that the interests of the northern insurers were not considered. Mr. LYALL was in favour of the redaction of the duties here, for not only . would such reduction prevent British mer chants from insuring abroad, but induce foreign merchants to effect their insurances in this country. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. S. RICE, in moving the clause for the repeal of the pamphlet duty, said that the clause would require a deposit of a number of the pamphlets as a security for the payment of the advertisement duty on the advertisements which were now attached to pamphlets. The clause was agreed to, and the house having resumed, the report was ordered to be received this day. ROMAN CATHOLIC MARRIAGES. Lord IVloLi , ilEux moved for leave to bring in a bill to legalize the marriages of Catholics by their own priests. All he wished was to put such marriages on the same "footing as those of Quakers and Jews. , It might be said that the Registration Bill would effect the remedy which he proposed, but he did not think it would. He did not wish to encroach upon the esta blished church ; all he wished was, that the marriages of Roman Catholics by their own clergy should be valid iu the eye of the law. An hon. IUENIREI: seconded the motion, and observed, that what his noble friend required was in accordance with the strict principles of justice. The motion was agreed to. OBSEkVANCF. OF THE SABBATH. On the motion of Mr. W. PETER leave was given to con solidate and amend the several acts relating to the observance of the Lord's-day. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, &C. Sir J. GRAHAM said that having seen the right hon. gentle man (the Speaker) in the chair 12 hours ago, he was not dis posed to prolong his labour by any remarks on the motion which he was about to make. Ho would, therefore, move that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the office and duties, the appointment, salary, and emoluments of the judges of the Prerogative Court and of the High Court of Admiralty, of the Dean of the Arches, and of the judges of the Con sistory Court. He would only add that during the investiga tion the learned judge who presided in the Admiralty Court had in the most handsome manner undertaken to do also the duties of the Prerogative Court. The motion was agreed to, and the committee appointed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. 1I OUSE OF LORDS, TC ESDAY, JUNE 11. Lord YINFORD presented a petition against the Nth section of the Local Jurisdiction Bill. . Lord GOSFORD presented a petition of a similar nature. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a petition from the city of Canterbury, in favour of a limitation of the number of working hours in factories. The Marquis of BUTE presented a similar petition from a place in Scotland. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from an individual in favour of negro emancipation. Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired what course ministers meant to pursue with respect to the proceedings on the East India Company's charter. Earl erREY answered that the resolutions of the House of Commons, when adopted, would be brought forward for their lordships' consideration. Lord EL 4 LENBOROUGH asked whether the same eouise 'would be taken tVith reference to the resolutions on the West India question ? Earl GREY answered that ministers had not yet decided on that point. LOC 1L JURISDICTION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not mean on the present occasion to do more than move the second reading of this bill. He had had a communication with his noble and learned friend (Lord Eldon) on the subject, who had consented to the arrange ment.. There were, he knew, some objections to the principle of the measure, but he thought that he should better consult their lordships' convenience by postponing the debate on them to a future occasion. He should, therefore, propose the second reading of the bill now, and reserve any remarks which he should have to offer on its provisions until going into the com mittee. His lordship7then moved—" That this bill be now read a second time. • _ _ _ _ Lord LYNDHUI:ST said the custom, he believed, was to discuss the principle of a bill in this stage, but in the absence of his no ble and learned friend, he would not press the discussion of the measure, although he entertained very strong feelings with re spect to it. lle, therefore, did not mean to oppose the second reading, particularly as he understood that he should stand in the same situation as he then did when it arrived at the next stage. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday next.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Tuts DAY, JUNE 11. The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The private business having been got through, the SPEAKER said that a petition had been presented relative to the conduct of a member of that house (Sir T. Troubridge), at the early sitting yesterday, to which an amendment had been moved, that the petition be rejected. On the question being put, a lengthened discussion ensued, when, a division being called for, Strangers were ordered to withdraw. A curious scene took place. When Mr. SPEAKER put the question that the petition should be received, and requested that the ayes should go below the bar, even Mr. Cobbett would not leave his place, so that in point of fact no division took place.—The amendment was car ried unanimously. Mr. PEASE presented a petition from Bishop's Auckland and another place in the county of Durham against the bill for the general registration of deeds, and a petition from an individual praying to be relieved from taking oaths. Mr. INGIIANI rose to present a petition; but An hon. Member moved that the house be counted out, and there appearing to be only '29 members present, the house ad journed at a quarter past two o'clock. • The Speaker resumed the chair at five o'clock. STAFFORD BRIBERY BILL. _ The house proceeded to a ballot fora select committee to which this bill was to be referred. The names of members were drawn from the glasses until 21 answered to their names. The list was then given to the nominees, ,by whom 13 were se lected as the committee. PUBLIC BUSINESS. On the Speaker naming Mr. H. L. Bawer, whose motion re lative to Lord Durham's special mission to Russia, and papers relating to the state of Germany, and the enslavement of -.Po land, stood first on the list of notices, Lord ALTIIOIIP rose and said, he should venture to suggest to hon. members having notices of motions on the order-book the propriety . of postponing them, with a view to allow the im portant question of colonial slavery to conic on. (Hear.) He took that opportunity of observing, that the business at present before the house was so multifarious and important; that. with all the diligence and despatch that could be used it was hardly possible -that the session should not be continued till a late pe riod—so late as to be inconvenient not only to members—that was a secondary consideration—but to the public (hear) ; for he did not think it expedient that business of great public con sequene:...- should be despatched at a late period of the year, when there must necessarily be a thin attendhnce of members. ( Hear.) He felt great difficulty in making any suggestion; he would rather appeal to the feelings of gentlemen, who, if they looked at the notice4iook, must see that it was scarcely possible for any matter which was now for the first tune introduced tube brought to a conclusion in the present session. The only effect of bringing forward measures now would be that a day would be lost in debating the propriety of introducing them. A no• tice of motion to make NVeduesday an order-day (in addition to the days already so devoted) stood on the book in the name of the hon. member for Liverpool ; and the hon, membor for Ips wich proposed to carry the plan further, and make more than three days order-days. Certainly that could not have been done in the beginnin g o f the session. He repeated that he felt re luctant to otter any direct suggestion to the house, but he threw out for its consideration the expediency and necessity of allow ing orders to take precedence of motions on more days than were at present fixed for that purpose, with a view to dispose of the important business already before it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. BULWER expressed his readiness to give way to the noble lord. Mr. R. WALLACE moved for leave to bring in a bill for im proving the forms of process, shortening the delays, and lessen ing the expenses of litigation in the Court of Session in Scot laud; also, for regulating the forms of pi ocedure, and diminish ing the expenses in appeals from the said court to the House of Peers; and also in appeals in civil causes at the circuit courts in Scotland. The Loan ADVOCATE said that if he thought that this bill was to be pressed through the present session, he could not allow it to be introduced without a discUssion, and without some expla nation with regard to it, the more eSpecially . as a royal commis sion had been already appointed to inquire into the subject. As, however, he understood that the object of the honourable member was only to have the bill printed, for the present he (the Lord Advocate) would not oppose its introduction. Mr. EwAnT, after a few words, moved that the orders of the day take precedence of notices of motions on Wednesdays, during the present session. Mr. WA SON was inclined to add, as an amendment, not only Wednesday, but another day in the week. (Cries of " No, no.") His object was to have the real business of the house trans acted. Lord ALTHORP said that he did not object to the motion of the honourable gentleman. He wished, however, to be under stood as taking it with the condition that the orders of the day on Wednesday should take precedence only according to • istel s their position in the order-book. It was true that nn°,itc,l were generally absent on Wednesds, as e usually together on that day, but he could asslre the th honoura ble di m her for Middlesex that, though they-Sonet at dinner, theother ness which was transacted was quite as iaportant as any they had to discharge. (A laugh.) While the house is"!.,ad ting it was extremely necessary that sonic time should beoL.'.,o for the members of the government to meet togeth er to ii!rs, various important matters, and ceitainlime mode of d Oll I,t 0 11 al , had hitherto been found in ministers dining together day. With respect to the proposition of the honourable n'etbe tier for Ipswich, to make another order day in the week for . n is purpose of getting through with business, he certainly o'haj rather trust to the readiness of he bers wh° notices that stood in the way of br onourabl inging on important busio,k, in giving way, than have another order - -day made in th e we' The motion was then put, and carried. o That i° Sir F. VINCENT moved the following resolution : all cases where a select committee appointed to try the nu: h - i, of an election for any theity or borough, r eport to t u t house that they have altered poll, by adding or striking.%, the names of any voters on such poll, air. Speaker shall I s e ' t .k, his directions thereupon to the clerk of the peace town e „ ot or other officer as the case may be, with whom regtel'eud such county, city, or borough is deposited, to alter and a 1. such register, by striking out the names of such vote rs as 1;vo been struck off - the poll, and by adding such names as T O • been added to the poll by such select committee." T he too baronet said that he moved this resolution as an awl-1(1110f g iv the 16th clause of the Reform Bill, and for the p u rpose ° ing effect to what was undoubtedly the object of that bill . Mr. kliviaT seconded the motion. h t tb e Lord ALTHORI; said that it certainly was desirable t.'3,,,02. register should be amended according to the decision of of the mittee of that house. Such had been the intention ° : t ie framers of the Reform Bill. He had no objection tl a ` o .,:sit matter should he now decided by the house, but lie lia,u ; r doubts that this resolution would effect the object witio in view. After a few words from Mr. Wynn, the resolution and carried. 1 6th Sir F. VINCENT gave notice, that on Wednesday , tb ?„iite e inst., he would move for the appointment of a select to inquire into the conduct of the benchers of the into of upon the application of persons to be called to the bar. On the. motion of Lord Althorp, the older of the 0) then read, and the house went into committee on " COLONIAL SLAVERY. The committee pioceeded• with the further consideratioltbe the 4th resolution—" That, towards the compensation °,t.s West Indian proprietor; his Majesty be enabled to gi, a rlo" sum not exceeding £20,000,000, to be appropriated as went may hereafter think fit." he Sr Mr. ROBINSON begged to congratulate the house, in t - • • - • - - .11011 instance, in having carried the principle that slavery sh u g , " e ct° f abolished in our colonies. He was confident that the e%bol , its abolition there would be remotely, if not very . soon, tru e jai ton of slavery also in the United States, and in 0 0164 0 c where it at present existed. With regard to the que' compensation, which was the only one they had now to o cr'' der, he would say, certainly, that, taking into account the lice which would be made by the West: India body, soil t ho would be undoubtedly due to them from the people , t 10 country. He (Mr. Robinson) for one, would never obi ° bat bear his fair proportion, as an individual, of this burdes;ol he feared that when the enthusiasm of the people of I; f/45' on this subject subsided they would entertain different f e , e o l lol, when the Chancellor of the _Exchequer would be obliged t 0 800,000 or £1,000,000 per annum in the shape of adu l t. 1 0 taxes for the purpose of carrying this measure into etre' yet they had not had time to have the opinion of the Pe ° Poeu' pressed with regard to the amount of compensation Pl°Kb e is6 For his own part, he must rotest against this revenu e tsee raised by a tax upon consumable commodities. He did °ear , why this money should be raised by an additional duty eti s a le; an article of such general use that it had almost becoine; oo l , cessary of life. The result would be that the burden I : es principally fall upon the prod uc ti v e and i n d us t r i o us ela s ! - t iol , this country, who were already suffering from over-taxi and who would be ill able to bear it. er 3 . Lord ALTHOUP did not rise to speak to the question ge n „ j ot! on this occasion, but he was anxious to take th e fi rs t opPf",,, to make a few observations in reply to what had fallen ire,,l 'op t hon. member for 'Worcester. The hon. member was ri , l saying that they were not now called upon to decide ju fief. way this sum was to be raised—that was to be decided herq d be If, however, the house should decide that a. grant sh°,!, t hat made, they would be bound in some way or other - to male dll granegood. (Hear, hear.) The hon. member said that ge°„' the opinion of the people of England had not been e11',7,1: 31 ou this particular part of the question.

(Hear, hear.) tri confident that the people of this country, seeing the sa c 00 which would be occasioned by the carrying of this measur e , o ol effect, would not object to the granting such au amount eli s c3!' pensation as that which was now proposed. It should be j i recollected by the house that this money would be grante!, only would be paid when this measure was actually carrie!', o r effect. (Hear, hear.) They did not propose to grant trii i o l ney to the West Indian body, and then to leave it to the i n to Indian legislatures to carry the provisions of this measure,-600 effect: the money was not only to be granted on the con ° t that the measure would be carried into effect, but it was Apar' be paid until after that condition had been fultillFd. (aios hear.) He should not enter further into the general at present, as no doubt he would be frequently called ug ue ° l ,,te, address the committee upon it during the course of the ,be but he had thought it necessary at once to apply himself,r for had done, to the observations of the honourable maw' Worcester. les° Mr. C. BULLER said that the question involved in the nog resolution was one that peculiarly affected the people el, t e e f land, and that it was the duty of their r ep resen t a tives L o s , a' that not a single undue farthing should be given in v t alt l compensation. His Majesty's ministers proposed il the amount of compensation, but the right hoe. .gernlL,fli; might just as well have asked £100,000,000. Indeed , uvig, l lo not know but that, during the cour se o f th e even i ng ,..thASY hon. gentlernan might ask for 1.:5;000,000, or for , more. (A laugh.) The noble lord (the Chancellor ° co il; Exchequer) appeared to have no hesitation in this instal ) f o ra granting the public money to any amount. The nohi e t , fa t seemed - ready at once to apply a neVer-failing antid° lase' silencing complaints, byputting his hand into the publie,V,, 0 In fact, it appeared to him that the noble lord, proceed' i ?O' the principles on which he did, might as well at once ,P 3 6tia not only the interest, but the principal of this sum, by aloe' the malt duty and the house and window tax for the years. (A laugh.) He had, in the course of this discii;ise been astonished not a little at the manner in which his 3 ' ty's ministers, and other members of that house, spoke ° e f di dt' readiness with which this burden would be borne by the of England. Ile did not imagine that such sentiments," or be repeated upou any hustings. He had been especial 4, lot prised at the sentiments exp_ressed by the hon. mealboos; Middlesex on that point. What was to become of tht b teti when the shepherd's dog thus deserted his duts , ? (La ti6 s ite. He did not mean to say that the hon. member had de s a his duty, but he certainly was astonished to hear him ea .bleb I:20,0%0W a paltry sum, and speak of the readiness with the people of England would pay it. The hon. melo b u e , r ba d spoken with greater levity of those £20,000,000 than m - bea e ,' often spoken of a sum of £2O iu that house; for whateve r i dia.' , ; ficial rights they by this measure took from the West a ;'" proprietors, .they were undoubtedly bound in honour O er tj , p6licy to pay them., The argument that this was not pr,", f ai! which had been used by the learned member for Htd" n alari perfectly absurd one. Whatever was sanctioned by th e t isso: f cipal law was property—tire property in slaves was save er e by the municipal law in the 'West India islands; and, h °o o ri, r , objectionable such property might be, the West India Pt ° ' tors were entitled to get compensation for the loss of approved of the plan for a gradual emancipation of the_ ilia, population in the British colonies, and was of opiniali,itio.! partial compensation should accompany it, but the pror:e of the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Cotoule,', 3l )sc full compensation to the planters, whilst it only effected t",,,ia'" tial emancipation of the slaves. The hon. gentleman contetiee: that from calculations which lead been made, making a di'4 tion between the effective and the non-effective slaves,.

He, therefore, entirely - disapproved of the 3 ,; o siij of compensation pr o p ose d by the right hon. gentleman opt (Mr. Stanley), and he thought the right hon. gentlein ail t io) e ' made abargain with the West India proprietors about fou r as bad as that body could themselves have wished. f tif s Mr. PRYMEsaid, that though he approved generally 1) ° ,- plan introduced to the consideration of the legislature ' o f P o Majesty's government, vet he could not acquies c e in son )° l3 f t details. He thought that the compensation, amoun t 'Sic r e £20,000,000, proposed to be given to the planters was c° 11 , 0 0 1 .0 ably more than the market.value of the property in slave'," be it British colonies; lie used thcsword property because it ha l ' i d et, adopted generally in the course of these discussions , b a from any acquiescence in the expression on his part. s „tia, should be glad to know from what source this co nipel i i . t3 SI was to come; the cry of the country was for a remission ° I tie's, and against the imposition of new imposts.

For himself he oi c , ; n , say,.in opposition to what had been advanced by an ho n . her, that i:25,0(5i,000 would be no more than the plaeteir entitled to in the way of compensation.
