Imperial parliament, HOPSE OF LORDS.—TRuasoAY. The Earl of . ERROL (the lord steward of the household) stated that there had been laid before her Majesty tits address adopted by their lordships [respecting socialism], and that her Majesty had made the following 'gracious answer :—" I will give directions that a full inquiry he Made into the portant matters upon which you have addressed me, and you may rely on my determination to discourage all docrines that are dangerous to the morality and relivion of this country." Upon the motion of the Duke of \f"'ELT:INGTON"; this an . - swer was ordered to he entered on the journals of the house.. The Earl of Ripon presented a petitiOn from a person nain, ed Smith, praying for inquiry into the kimentable state, as regarded their spiritual condition, of a lat•ge portion 'Of these engaged in maritime affairs.. ' • Petitions were presented by the Duke of Wma,INGToN and the• Bishop of SALISB RA:, p;aying Abe-1;04e ,_ r atl9P.% measures for putting down socialism. . Prince Albert's annuity bill was read' ii'seci;Ud 'tithe . in - ft also the third time, and passed—the'standittg.-orders .having been suspended for that purpose. .• • • The Earl of ABERDEEN and the Duke of Ric HMO N D pre rented petitions front numerous places in Scotland (and it will be seen that similar petitions were presented in the House of Commons) against the existing system of intruding ministers on parishes, contrary to the. wishes of theanajority of the inhabitants. The Earl of Aberdeen took occasion to remark on the strong feeling excited in Scotland 'upon this subject, and said that he thought legislative aneasures should be adopted, in order to restore the peace of the Scotch church. He concluded by asking whether ministers intend ed to take any steps in connection with this question ? ' Lord MELBOU RN E • answered that the subject was now un der consideration, but that nothing as yet had been decided. Lord ELLENBOROU GB asked whether government intended . 'to give the house any information respecting our existing re lations with China ? Lord MELBOURNE answered that the fullest information would be speedily laid before the house. Lord COLCHESTER then brought forward his motion re specting the navy, and moved for a number of returns, in order to show that our 'shores nre hi nearly as defenceless a state at the present time as-they were,vhen helast called at tention to the subject. This led to an exceedingly interesting disettSSlOn.; after which the returns were ordered, and their lordships ad journed. • • • HOUSE OF COMMONS.--TiturtSnlty. Sir R. I7.4c.tis pre.sented 75 petitions'in 'faVour - 'church extension; and other members presented `similar petitions. Mr. PARKINCToN brought 'in the Sale of Brerbill, it was read a ft, ..t time, :LTA erdcroa ct axstad ing Is fixed for Wednesd a y, th e 19 t h in s t an t . Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from .1700 carriers of London and other large towns, against railway monopolies in the carriage of parcels. The petition was referred to the railways committee. Sir J. B. WALSH gave notice that be should, on the 20th instant, propose a resolution declaratory-of the expediency of determining, by legislative enactment, the differences exist ing between the House of Commons and the courts of law upon the subject of the publieation of printed papers. Mr. GODSON postponed till Tuesitey his motion for papers respecting Frost, Williams; and Jones. • • Mr. HOME gave notice that he should, on Monday, move for copies of correspondence relative to the continuation of monopolies, which were to haie been abolished by the late commercial treaty With the Porte. Sir E. SUGDEN gave .notice that.he should, on an early day, call attention to the present administration of justice in the Courts of Equity, Privy Counpil, and Bankruptcy. The CEIA:VCELLOR of the ExcFiroxv.a, in answer to Mr. Hume's inquiry, expressed his willingness to give the .fullest information regarding the expense of conveying the West ' India mails, &c. Sir J. GRA gAM said, it appeared from a statement which the noble lord the Secrethry for - the Colonies had- made a night or two ago, thatit was the intention of her Majesty's government to change a decision which they had come to , last year, with the sanction of that house, with respect to the transmission of the hill coolies to certain-of the British coth-- nies. Before any alteration was made, however, in-the reso lution on this subject, he thought that a bill should be brought in and discussed in that nbase, to regulate the pas sage of those people from the continent of India, to such places as it might be deemed advisable to send them. Lord J. RussEti, said he had stated what the govern ment's present intention, with regard tb the hill coolies, was, and that they had at first conceived the possibility of so arranging the matter referred to as not to require any assistance from the house. - However, perhaps it would. be the best way to introduce a bill on this subject with the con sent of parliament. For his own part he should be very glad to take the opinion of the house, and should consider how it might be best brought forward. Meantime he had only to say that no final step would be taken. in:the matter in which the house did not agree. It might be prpper for him to state. in conclusion, that anti thing he hadsaid with regard to the removal or passage of the hill cooties only referred to the Mauritius. Lord PALMERgTON, in answer to Mr. Hume, stated that Captain Elliot had not been recalled, from China, and that there was not any intention to recall him. Mr. HERRIES called the attention of Lord Palmerston.tO a correspondence between her Majesty's ambassador at Lis bon, relating to the payinent of sums of money to Sir John M. Doyle and others, and Wished to know whether that money was paid in part of the sum due ft-6m Portugal to Great Britain. Lord PaLmns.sroN answered that by the treaty of 1817 the produce of vessels condemned and sold was to be divided equally between the two governments, and there was a balance on that account of £3,000 or £4,000' due to Portugal, and that among the claims recently made on the Portuguese government were certain small .saints, which, the Portugeuse were informed ought to be paid out of that balance, and which had been done. Thatpayment, therefore, would - leave an undiminished balance claimed from, and due by, Portugal, arising out of the convention. Mr. BAINES having made inquiry on the subject, Lord PALNIERSTON stated that Dr, Bowring's report re garding the Germanic commercial league was ready, and would be presented in a feW days. Thomas Burton Howard ('to: kclale's . attorney) having been secured on the Speaker's . warrant,. was placed at the bar; and having admitted that he had served the further process of action on the Messrs. Hansard, Lord J. Russitm. inoved . to the 'effect that Thomas Burton': Howard, having served a writ upon Messrs. Hansard, the printers of that house, for the purpose of Caii: , ing them to appear to an action in the Court of. Queen's which he had brought, at the instance of John Joseph Stotkilale, against them for an alleged libel, which, they had published in the papers printed for gailey of aligh . contempt of the privilege's "of that 'bowie. Sir E. SUGDEN moved, as an amendment, that . Howard be again brought up to Ulf:l)3r on F: iJay: The original motion, hoWercr, was carried, after some dis-- ' eussion, by 147'ayes; 45 noes.

The motion was carried, after Sir E. Peel. Sir H. Hartlinge, 3.c. had expressed their high admiration of the military operations in question ; re serving, however, their opinion on the political character of the transactions. Sir F. 'TRENctt moved a resolution declaratory that the mode of lighting the House. of Commons by wax candles is preferable to the present manner of lighting the house by means of Bude lights; that, therefore, the lustres and green shades be replaced forthwith : a - Motion which, after some conversation, was carried - bi 69 .

BRITISH GUIANA " STATEMENT OF THE ADVANTAGES' TO -BE ipKIttVED: FROM EMIGRATION TO BRITISH GUIANA•" We have pleasure in transferring to our colutnn the fol- lowing statement, whick was read by Mr. Holmes; at the meeting at Georgetown, Demerara, alluded to in our leading article. It is from the pen•of Mr: Carberry, of Baltimore : " The province' of British* ' on 'the continent of South America, is a dependency of Great Britain, to which power it was ceded by the Dutch in 1803. It is situated about seven degrees north of the equator. The thermometer indicates but little.yariation *of temperature; generally rang ing from 78 degrees to 84 egre'es. - The trade winds, which constantly blow from the east, render the cliniate both salu brious and pleasant. The luxuriance of tropical vegetation is too well known to 'require any description—but there is, perhaps, no part of the West Indies that equals British Gniana in the fertility of its soil, or the variety of its pro ductions :: in either respect,. it can with truth be said that it stands unriyaßed. " The staple productions are stigar,. rum, molasses, coffee, and cotton, besides a-considerable quantity of timber, hard wood-fan-)er, and; shingte6. Largo tracts of land ar 0 oceu pied.as farlas,.'wbere.great numbers of - cattle are annually bred'. Cocoa, indigo, tobAce.o,and arnotto groW with great luxuriance; but these have entirely given place to the more profitable Cultivation 'of sugar and col The. Every variety of tropical fruit (too numerous to detail) is found here in the greatest profusion,. and the plantain, yam,' 'cassava, Edoe sweet potato, and Indian corn, furnish cheap .and delicious variety of food, and amply repay the trouble and labour of cultivation. The soil is rich and alluvial, and appears to be ; nor has it ever been fotind necessary to use manure in the cultivation of the lands. This country, by:its . . position, is exempt from the'visitation of hurricanes, which so frequently ravage and lay waste the. West India Islands; nor are the-hop - of 'the planter ever disappointed by the prevalence of drought. - • "British Guiana is divided into three counties, Demerary, Essequebo; - and' Berbice, whiCh 'contain. seventeen' parishes. The chief towns are, Georgetown, in the county df Demerary, and New Amsterdam, in Berbice. There are, likewise, nt.t. inercus 'small villages in the countrydistriets .Georgetown is the seat of government, aria the principal seapprt—it may be called the capital ofthe province. The whole population of the three counties can be stated with tolerable accuracy at 90,000, of _which not more than 6,000 or 8,000 are white. This Calculation does'not include the Indian tribes who live in the forests; and'irhosenpinbers, I believe, have never been correctly ascertained. The principal rivers are the Esse qiiebo, the Berbice, the Demerary, and the Poraeroon., be- sides numberless n large creeks which afford access to the in- , 'teor, and add to thefertility and beauty of the country they intersect. British Guiana is bounded on the east by the Co- rentyn river, which, divides it from the Dutch colony of Suri nam, and on the west by the Morocco creek, or a tract of _ _ country adjacent thereto. • The banks of the Morocco are in habited by Indians, of Spanish origin, whose subsistence is chiefly derived from hunting and fishing, and the cultivation of the cassava. The churches, and places of public worship (this account is from memory) considerably exceed fifty, with numerous Sunday, infant, and day schools, for the gratuitous diffusion and extension of moral education among the labour,. in g classes. On most of the principal estates a:schoolhouse is erected, and a teacher provided, where the children of the people 'who are hired on the estate are entitled to receive in struction free of expenie. By reference to the Royal Gazette; of the 7th of May, 1839,, published in Georgetown,.. it will be seen that in the official estimate of:the anicuntrequired ke, raised by takes' for that year, one hundred and thirteen'thonE sand one hUndred and seventeen dollars were - voted for the service of the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Roman Catho - lie churches and chapels in British Guiana, for the year 1839: An amount so enormous, when the limited number -of the. population is considered, that this statement would have been withheld, had not the official Gazette alluded to furnished proof of it—nor does this include the amount of voluntary annual contribution furnished by religiOus societies in:Eng land, and the inhabitants, towards the support of various dis senting chapels, which receive no assistance from colonial legislature. On this subject it will be unnecessary to add more, the most sceptical must be convinced, that ample pro vision is made for the religious instruction of all classes of the community. . , " The revenue of British Guiana is chiefly derived from a tax on the produce raised in the colony, and duties levied on the imports; - parish or poor rates are unknown, and the la— bourer is exempt from every species of taxation, unless his annualincome amount to five hundred dollars: The militia laws were abrogated, and the Colonial militia disbanded soon after the emancipation took place, so that the poor man is not compelled to contribute - any portion of his time to the public' sertice,' as is the case in all other West India col°, nies. The pdrishes are divided into judicial districts, under the superintendence of a stipendiary magistrate, appointed and . paid by the crown, to whom is entrusted the exclusive jurisdiction in all matters of dispute arising between the em ployer and the employed. The order in council, passed at Windsor, on the Ith day of September, 1838, and published in British Guiana, on the 38th October following, declares in sec;'l, that the stipendiary magistrate shall have an exclusive jurisdiction for the enforcement of all contracts of servicc,-,and . for imposing all penalties for the breach or tuoitz-perfdtniance' thereof. It Is: therefore evideat that the labourer has an independent tribunal to appeal to, unin fluenced by local inter: its or partialities. The magistrates are under the safe control of his excellency the Governor, -by whOmi they "eau be suspended from office. For the further t,ott more_ effectual protection of the labouring classes, it is declared- in ('! . h..22, 'of the 'same order in council, that no con tract of 'service Shall he of effect unless made within the co lony, in the presence-of•a stipendiary magistrate, nor for a longer I.irhic.l than one year. The emigration agent in Bri= tish Guiana; is also a stipendiary magistrate. It is the duty of this offi.cer,to furnish emigrants arriving in the colony with every inforniation, and to prevent any imposition being prac tised•npon them. ; • - • "' Nainvidiona, distinctions of colour exist; equal civil and religious liberty are enjoyed by. the. inhabitants and colonial offices and dignities are indiscriminately held by white and coloured:' The coloured' classes in British Guiana are wealthy, influential, and highly respectable. Many of them are-magistrates, wealthy proprietors, merchants with large establishments, and managers of estates, receiving liberal sa laries. The collector of customs• at one of the principal ports is a person of colour, and many others hold public si tuations ; it is therefore evident that colour is no obstacle to advancement or distinction. " This magnificent country 'is as- yet so thinly inhabited, that the settlements only occupy a narrow ;slip of land on the sea-coast, and the. hanks of The principal rivers, not reaching further inland than eight or ten miles. A. large tract of this coast, consisti.lg of the finest alluvial soil, which was formerly in cotton, has been latterly abandoned, and the labourers removed to the more profitable cultivation of the cane. Land in the immediate vicinity of sugar estates can be procured on the most reasonable terms. The industrious settler, who has purchased a location of his own, can always find lucratiat employment for his spare time. The lowest rate of wages for field labour in British Guiana is 331 cents for seven hours and a half, with the free occupancy of . a cot tage, medical advice and attendance during.sickness, 'and as much provision-ground as the labourer is. willing to culti vate ; bat when engaged in cutting cane, or the manufacture of sugar, higher daily rates are paid, and it is no exaggera tion to say, that an industrious labourer. on an estate can easily earn sixteen dollars per month. In addition to this, all the people at work inethe boiling-house are on most estates' supplied gratis with allowances of provisions and molasses., No expense has been. spared by the planters of - British Guiana in. the erection 'of their. Sukar-buildings and machinery. Each estate is provided with a steam-engine for grinding the cane,' and the labourer is assisted in every t.4e , partment of his work by the skilful application of a variety of ingenious and well-adaptcd machinery. Both on coffee and sugar estates, the help of every description Of persons is in demand, so that women and children of all ages can find equally profitabte*employinent in proportion to their capa bility, while eratuitous instruction is provided 'for those willing to avail themselves of it: Payment is made in specie, either monthly or weekly, as may be agreed on; and so great is the demand for labour, that no one need remain out of employment an hour, provided he be a man of good Cha racter ; he will have numerous applications the moment it is known he is•seekirue hire " There is no proprietor in British Guiana who would not be glad to double the number of people he. has at present on his. estate;, therefore, it may readily he ithagined with what ease eniPl•9Yment is procured. The roads through every part of the prosince are in order, and the fdcilities Of communi cation are increased by steamboats and schooners belonging to the different estates, which keep up a daily intercourse through every part of the colony. Clothing and fuel, two great taxes on the industry of the labouring classes in north ern climates, are comparatively light burthens in the warm , latitudes. Puel is obtained without cost, on the plantations, all r t t l o e t s i ti c ,ha r i ene p x t icwi i o ie aputiitsht coopers, o f oi jo ß pfn : t i iih t ts i ee s 4 h ci, hoods,asnnthaatabeli always ;aa p n,3 a i particuts, larly retft, 'Tradesmen os c oif h dfl.e a mer s Nara, ere r l yy e_ a ola eg te cr , i e p l t u i p o i ti oyerarveainitt,s,,Ni and c s i c t a ith h l i : g o ' h in w i te n e i s a .

The preparations for the due celebration of this august ceremony are still going on with great rapidity. The num ber of applications at the Lord Chamberlain's-office foritd- mission to St. James's Palace on the occasion are_unprece• dented., and hourly increase. Every effort is being made to in crease the accommodation in the suite of apartments through which the procession is to pass on its way from the throne room to the Chapel Royal. Those apartments are , the ball room, or Queen Anne's drawing-room, the tapestry chamber, the armoury. It will then descend the grand.staircase, pass through the ancient entrance into the state apartments and along the colonnade in the colour quadrangle, leading into the chapel. The colonnade is surrounded by a wooden en 'closure, extending into the quadrangle, containing benches with six rows of seats, each of which is calculated to contain from 90 to 100 spectators. Passing onwards, the next place devoted to the same purpose is the recess immediately above the grand staircase : there are here about 11 rows of seats, each of which will hold from 10 to 12 persons. Of all the places (except the Chapel Royal) from whence a view of the gratifying spectacle can be obtained, this is by far the most favourable one. The eye can rest upon the procession as it passes along the entire suite of state apartments, ex tending from the ball-room to the grand staircase and thence 'downwards till it passes into the colonnade. The spectators here will, of course, have the same advantage on the return of the procession. Thiview in the other places must of ne cessity be limited to the period the procession is passing through them respectively. About 100 may here find acco modation. The next apartment onwards in the direction of the throne room is the armoury. There are here three or four ranges of,seats, which will accommodate rather more than. 100 spectators, allowing 18 inches to each per Son. The ad joining tapestry chamber or guard room contains 80 seats. Queen Anne's drawing room, into which you next enter, is the last apartment where seats are provided for spectators. There are here four ranges of semi-circular benches extend ing from the door of the anti-throne room to the outer door of the tapestry chamber, upon which 400 persons at least can coveniently be seated. This also is a remarkably good..posi- _ tion ; we should say the best after that above the great stair case. When the doors of the anti-throne room are thrown open it will. command a full view of the noble bridegroom and his attendants. Calculating the number of seats in the Chapel Royal at 530, the colour quadrangle 550, the grand staircase 100, the armoury 100, the tapestry chamber 80, and Queen. Anne's drawing room 400, the total number of seats provided for spectators will be 1,760, which number of tickets at least will be issued from the office of the Lord Chamberlain. The seats are all comfortably stuffed and co vered with crimson cloth, properly edged.. A rich scarlet carpet is laid down the entire lengith of the state apartments through which the .procession is to pass.

It is further rumoured that her royal highness will , ultimately retire; for a term, to the , continent; The trail of. this report is strengthened by the fact, of some reductions having just taken place in the. Duchess of Kent's household. Her royal highness's prin cipal page; Fronchet, has very recently been discharged upon a penion, and has left for the continent. 'lt is expected that the Baroness Lehzen will continue to hold the same appointment; about the person of the Queen which she has hitherto filled.

CANTERBURY, RIDAI MORNING. — The intelligence of the landing of his Serene Highness the Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg at Dover, yesterday afternoon, reached this city shortly. after 10 last night. .This morning, the City, pre sents a most unusual scene of bustle, .as the Prince and .-,his. illustrious relatives, the Duke of Saxe.Cohurg and the here ditary Prince, are expected to pass through about , half-past one o'clock this afternoon en route to the metropolis. The Earl of Cardigan, at the head of his fine regiment,. the 11th light dragoons, proceeded yesterday morning to Dover, and that splendid corps will form a guard of honour to Prince Al- . bert in his Serene Highness's progress to this, city. The yeomanry cavalry, under the command of Sir Brook Bridges, Bart. will also meet the cavalcade, and accompany the Prince and royal sdite some distance. The mayor and members of the Town Council have pre pared the following address, which will be presented by the civic body immediately on the arrival of the royal visitors : " TO HIS SERENE HIGHNESS THE PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA " May it please your Serene Highness,—We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the city and borough of Canter bury, beg leave to approach your serene highness to express our joy and respectful congratulations at your serene high ness's safe arrival in England, and particularly in our ancient and loyal city of Canterbury. ..".in welcoming your serene highness to the British shores, we take the opportunity of expressing to your serene highness the deep interest we feel in your serene highness's future welfare, being fully persuaded that the exalted station which your serene highness is destined to fill in these realms, will ensure domestic happiness to our beloved Sovereign Queen Victoria, and eminently contribute to the interest and well being of her Majesty's faithful and beloved subjects.

Already devices for illuminations have been affixed againSt most of the houses her Majesty and her illustrious consort will pass in their progress to Windsor, and there is no doubt the other inhabitants will follow the loyal example thus set to them, and that Kensington will far exceed in brilliancy and effect any other portion of the metropolis and its environs.

Their contents are extremely interesting and important. The Chronicle of December . 14 gives a full report of the proceeding s at the great public dinner given, on the previdus daY' to Governor Light, which appears to have been veil numerously and respectably attended: Sir M. M‘Tnri c occupied the chair, and the proceedings were charae" . terised by the greatest unanimity. The Governor's speech contains many remarks on the present state and future prospects of the Colony, which merit the great - ., est attention. He said that he had presented to the , Colonial Secretary of State the condition of "the col' . tivated, cultivable, and abandoned parts of that rich mine of gold"—that he had "pointed out the resource s of the interior, and the facilities of production and of inland navigation"—and " that all that the Colony wanted was hands." He had advocated the encoW ragement of immigration into the Colony, not in on e despatch, but in twenty. He strongly condemned the expedient of a loan as fatal to all schemes fOr peopling the country ; and insisted that every object could be secured by "an annual grant, ample for the annua l supply of labourers." The Right Rev. Dr. Clancy, Roman Catholic Ord? nary of British . , Guiana,' while addressing the same meeting, avowed himself to he " the fearleSs advocate of a general scheme of immigration," which he thougo would proye " the physiCal salvation of that invaluabl e province," adding that " for his timely and accurat e views on that question Governor Light deserved the gratitude of the present and future generations." Abraham Garnett, Esq., in the course of a very sr rited address, introduced the following pithy and truth' ful observations, which we especially recommend t° the notice of those who have been led away by the Anti-Corn-Law,agitation. In returning thanks for th e agricultural portion of th© community, he remarked' " Agriculture was the foundation of the prosperity ( 1 every country. From agriculture proceeds commerce' If that succeeded; the community could not foil to fi r prove. He did not confine himself to that Colony alone ; but When he made that assertion he referred to f every part Of the World. This was no new theory ° his. The pages of history afforded ample proof °f l it; If the agricultural interests of British Guiana shoul d not prosper, the commercial body must fall. It I 0 1" lowed as a - matter of course,—the interests were s ° united." He concluded by recommending immigr a " tion as the great resource, to which all their energie' should be devoted. All the ether speeches at this dinner were charm' tensed by . the . same tone. "Immigration" was the burden of each, and that' on a scale commensura te with the wants and capabilities . of the ColonY. On the same day another public meeting took pla ce at Georgetown, having for its specific object the en, couragement of immigration - . This meeting was hel . at the Colony House,- in pnisuance of a request by a public advertisement of J. A. Holmes, Esq., whose oh' ject it was to lay before the public certain docuinel' te , received by him from Mr. Carberry, of Baltimore, ° ll the subject of immigration into . British. Guiana fr° lll the United States—a scheme the feasibility of whie l., has been fully established. We are sorry that e cannot find room, in our present publication for t.' e whole of the documents read by Mr. Holmes. `it have, however, inserted in another column the PO important of these documents—that in which M r ; Carberry gives a detailed description of the advantag e to be 'derived from emigration to British Guist''' . We recommend a careful perusal of that interesti n g statement. It enters minutely into the resources r that noble Colony, and furnishes the strongest NO; boration of our previous articles. We trust that tb_ : truths which it embodies .will not be lost upon the It; fish public, and with this v Ave iew earnestly solicit t' co-operation of our brethren of the press:, in giving togr, theth increased publicity. To ..the other arts of ) ' l 4 Ca.rbetlys statements on the subject of migration" "J 4
