parliamtnt. HOUSE OF LORDS—THURSDAY. Among the petitions was one presented by Lord ABINGER, from the printers and publishers of the Times and Morning Post newspapers, against certain parts of the printed papers bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented petitions from American loyalists in Canada against the clergy reserves bill, and from the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, representing such bill as a breach of faith. Lord ELLENBOROUGR wished to obtain a pledge from the government not to advise the adoption of the bill until their lordships had received the judges' answers to the questions thereupon propounded to them, and which could not be until after the Easter recess. Lord MELBOURNE said that, without giving any pledge, there would be ample time, no doubt, afforded. Lord DLNCANNON presented the despatch from the go vernment of Upper Canada relative to the monks of St. Sul pine. Lord KENYON presented a petition from the Corporation of Dublin, praying to be heard by counsel against the muni cipal corporations (Ireland) bill. The Marquis of VV'ESTMEATTI presented a similar petition from Belfast. Lord DENMAN presented a petition from the Cashier of a Provincial Bank, representing that he had received notice to quit such situation, because his conscientious scruples would not allow him to take the oath required in some legal pro ceedings, and praying for a remedy. His lordship observed that he had heretofore ineffectually endeavoured to provide relief for such cases ; and he added that if he could only ob tain some assurance from their lordships that they might now extend more favourable attention to him, he would again introduce the bill on the subject. In answer to Lord Westmeath, Lord MELBOURNE said the second reading of the Irish municipal bill would certainly not come on before Easter. The house went into committee on the printed papers bill. Mr. Platt, counsel for Messrs. Stockdale and Howard, ad dressed the house with much point. The report of the bill was ordered to be brought up on, Tuesday. Lord FITZGF.RALD ga ve notice that he should move, on an early day, for copies of the instructions that had been given to the valuators under the poor law in Ireland. Lord REDESDAI presented a petition from Sudbury, praying that union workhouses might not he exempted from rating. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIIURSDAY. Many petitions were presented ; among them several against the clergy reserves (Canada) bill, one of them being from the Bishop of Toronto, presented by Mr. Pakington. Sir H. PARNELL gave notice, that after Easter he should move for leave to bring in a bill for again ascertaining the population of Great Britain, distinguishing the increase or diminution, &c. Mr. HOME gave notice that he should hereafter move the appointment of a select committee, for the purpose of exa mining the duties on imports, to ascertain where the duties were for the protection of similar articles the product of this country, or where they were imposed for the purpose of re venue. Lord J. RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in bills-1. " To continue the poor law commission fora limited period;" and 2. " For the better administration of relief to the poor in England and Wales." Mr. W. MILES, connected with the same subject. ob tained leave to bring in a bill " to provide a summary remedy to the lower classes of society in cases of seduction and breaches of promise of marriage." Mr. GOULBURN moved for, and which were ordered, co pies of any correspondence between her Majesty's govern ment and the East India Company, showing the arrangement entered into with the East India Company for paying the expense of the armament now preparing in India for service in China. Mr, SLANEY obtained leave to bring in a bill " to repeal so much of an act made and passed in the sth and 6th years of the reign of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, intituled ' an act for the establishment of loan societies in England and Wales, and to extend the provisions of the friendly societies' acts to the islands of Guernsey, Jersey, and Man,' as relates to the establishment of loan societies in England and Wales ; and to make other provisions in lieu thereof." Mr. T. DUNCOMBE called attention to the petition of Mr. James Howell, lecturer on astronomy, praying the house to address the crown to afford him a continuation of the privi lege of lecturing at theatres during Lent. He moved an ad dress accordingly. Mr. Fox MAULE opposed the motion, on the ground of the new regulations laid down by the Lord Chanberlain. After a short debate the house divided, and the motion was carried :—Ayes, 73 ; noes, 49 ; majority, 21. The adjourned debate on China was then resumed. Mr. HOGG began by adverting to the evidence which was taken by government before the opening of the trade, and which proved that the Chinese were opposed to the settlement of foreigners, to the admission of political residents, and to the transaction of business through any other channel than that of the Hong merchants. The policy of the government had been shaped in contravention of all those objections, and the national feelings of the Chinese had been crossed. When difficulties began to arise, repeated entreaties for instructions were addressed to government, but no instructions were -vouchsafed. It was said the country was too remote to make instruction practicable. If ministers had professed to invest the superintendent with uncontrolled discretion, that policy might have been defensible. But here they professed to in struct him, yet left him uninstructed. Dr. LUSRINGTON gave credit to Sir James Graham for having constructed his motion on the principle of a drag-net— to catch the large fish, the little fish, and the loose fish. He admitted that China was no party to the law of nations, commonly so called, but she could not be exempt from the great obligations of ordinary justice. Considering the pecu liarly mischievous properties of opium, and the extensive growth of it in our Indian dominions, he might have acknow ledged that China would have been entitled to call on us for the suppression of its sale within her limits, if she herself had been making genuine efibrts for that suppression ; but while she was urging this demand on us, she herself was con niving at the trade. Suppose, however, that instructions had been sent to Captain Elliot to put down the traffic, and that the merchantmen, which was not very likely, had sub mitted to leave Canton, the only result would have been that they would have diffused it over other parts of the coast. Sir Jorns HonitousE contended that if there was ground for this motion there was ground for a much stronger vote. But the present proceeding was not a practical one ; it pro posed no suspension of the hostilities which it condemned ; it was a mere party matter, brought forward without the slightest care for China ; and he regretted such trifling upon a great question of peace and war. He wished Sir James Graham had here, as in the case of his last year's wisely abandoned notice about the war in India, abstained from bringing forward a discussion likely to damp the energies of those who were to fight their country's battles. The various speakers on the other side had agreed in no definite opinion about the justice of the war with China ; yet surely, before they sought the removal of the present ministry, they should have made up their minds whether they would support that war, if conducted by another cabinet. With respect to the opium trade, its enormities had long since been exposed to parliament ; and none of those whose consciences were now so tender on this topic had then stepped forward to express their disapprobation. But it now seemed to be made matter of blame that the British ministry did not introduce a bill for making it penal to smuggle opium into China. He then entered into various details to show the impossibility of pre venting this description of contraband. He defended the conduct of Captain Elliot, and concluded by expressing a hope that the circumstances of the case would be foie d to justify ministers in the responsibility they bad undertaken. Sir R. PEEL said, that though the crown had sent no mes sage to the house on the affairs of China, and invited from it no opinion, the country was, by the confession of minis ters, on the verge of war with a region inhabited by almost one-third of the whole human race. And the objection of those ministers to this motion on so momentous a question was, that it proceeded upon party principles. Such proceed ings had ever been usual under a free constitution, and were inseparable from it. But the present case, it had been said, was of too great magnitude to be canvassed by a party mo tion. That is, your impunity is to be in proportion to the greatness of the interests you endanger. Your war, how ever, may be an unjust one with reference to its causes ; and yet it may have been rendered a necessary one by the gross neglect and misconduct of the ministers who have brought it on. The charge against them was, not that they did not foresee what the Emperor of China would do. but that, in the new state of things arising out of the opening of the trade, they sent out a superintendent furnished with no instructions, and strengthened with no moral force from the presence of naval support. The distance was set up as a reason for their meagre and contradictory instruc tions ; but they might, without fettering him by specific crders, have possessed hint of their general views, as to the place of residence, the mode of communication, and tha traffic in opium. The moral effect of a naval force might have been secured, without stationing it so near as to give umbrage to the Chinese authorities. Sir Robert Peel went on to observe, that the main question now was whether ministers had been guilty of reprehensible neglect, and to that he would confine himself. He then selected from the published papers a variety of passages establishing particular instances of the neglect which he imputed. For example, an act of parliament had authorised ministers to give certain power to their superintendents by order in coun cil. They passed an order, but it was so imperfectly framed as to confer no power at all. The imperfection was pointed out to them, and instead of amending it they simply pro posed to extend these non -existing powers to a wider local limit. They had authority, too, by order in council, to es tablish a criminal jurisdiction among the British subjects in China. They did not exercise that authority, but they in troduced a bill into parliament in 1837, so late in the session, that it was necessarily withdrawn ; and they introduced in 1838 another bill, which they protracted to a still later period of the session, and which comprised a civil as well as a criminal jurisdiction. It failed ; but the authority to establish a criminal jurisdiction by order in council still remained with them ; and that authority they . still ne glected to exercise. Having gone through the details of representations, entreaties, and remonstrances made by the superintendents, and disregarded by ministers, Sir R. Peel observed, that if his only object had been to obtain a majo rity, that object would probably have been accomplished by a motion simply condemning the war and the traffic in opium. But he could not conscientiously say that some further continuation of hostilities, however culpably they were originated, might not, in the actual state of things, be now unhappily necessary. Still he was anxious to prevent the un fair excitement of the public mind against the Chinese. Some of their acts were indefensibl e ; hut our provocations, and the general humanity of the people ought not to be for gotten. If war was necessary, let it not be conducted in a revengeful spirit, but rather with a disposition for re-opening the way to a permanent friendship. Let it be remembered that success itself might lead to fearful e , 01 0 1 0 7 000 o e nessi . men.per- haps to revolution and anar ch y among w 0: Let it be considered that the interests of other states might be so affected by our hostilities, as to involve us in difficulties with their governments also. The late blockade had lasted only-five days, but it had produced a remonstrance from the American merchants. He concluded by an earnest prayer that Heaven might avert those evils to which the misconduct of the rulers had justly exposed hes% Lord PALsrEasTos: described the conception of the motion, and the execution of it in the debate, to have been equally feeble. And if his own nespatches were considered deficient in precision, what must be thought of the language of -the proposed resolution ? Omission was charged ; but no one had clearly explained what it was which had been omitted. Meanwhile he rejoiced that the motion threw no imputation upon the officers employed ; and he wished to state the utter groundlessness of the supposition that Captain Elliott had in the least degree countenanced the smuggling of opium. - After some not uncourteous animadversions on the speeches of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Thessiger Lord Palmerston again co mplained that the nature o f th e alleged omissions had. not been stated by his opponents. If you accuse a roan of what he has committed, you need not suggest that he should have done something else; but while you accuse him of omitting something, you are bound to state the thing so omitted. Gentlemen had not ventured to speak out,but he believed their real meaning was, that the superintendent should have been armed with powers effectually to suppress the trade in opium. The noble lord then answered various points of detail arising out of the published papers : afterwhicl which he that her adve objectrtedto was untruth of the pretence s et u p by China, the morality of her people. That was not the real motive : if it had been so, there , would have been a prohibition of the poppy culture in the Chinese dominions. The real object was to favour the poppy interest, and to keep the , bullion in the celestial *awe. If. in ccanpliance with those desires, ministers had given stringent powers to the superintendent, the mercantile interests of England would have loudly complained of their conduct, and it would have been difficult to make adequate amends to any merchant whom the exercise of that arbitrary jurisdiction might have injured. Lord Palmerstoo then vindicated the hostile proceedings of the British government. As to the Americans, that nation was desirous to concur in strong measures for establishing a safe commerce with China. The same feeling existed in England. Ile had that evening received a paper signed by thirty London firms, expressive of their anxiety that no de claration of public opinion should be made which would weaken the effect of the measures adopted by ministers ; and he trusted that those who had recently declared their confi dence in the administration would not desert them on the present vote. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in a short reply, defended the form of his resolution, which, he said, was constructed according to the most approved principle of legitimate opposition. The house then divided. The numbers were— 262 271 Majority against it - 9 The announcement was received with prolonged cheers. The house adjourned at twenty-five minutes past four o'clock. For the motion. Against it HOUSE OF LORDS.-FiUDAY. Lord MELBOURNE deferred the second reading of the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill till 4th May. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he should move the second reading of the Tithe Commutation Act Amend ment Bill on Monday. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY (after Lord Melbourne had said that her Majesty would not, certainly, be advised on the subject of the Clergy Reserves Bill until after the judges' answers to the questions propounded to them had been received,) deferred, for the present, the motion of which he had given notice for Monday, to move an address to the Queen not to give the royal assent to the act " for the sale of' the clergy reserves, and for the distribution of the pro ceeds thereof." _ _ The Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, &C., urged his grace not to press discussion on the subject at present. The Earl of ABERDEEN instituted inquiry of Lord Mel bourne regarding an order in council, just issued, for " repri sals " upon China ; but, as the subject was more fully ex plained in the commfms, we refer to the commons' summary thereon. On the report of the " Printed Papers" Bill, Lord DEN MAN, it will be seen, moved various amendments. Adjourned till Saturday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. After the presentation of many petitions on various sub jects, Mr. ORD presented a new panel for the trial of the Cambridge election petition. Mr. FRESHFIELD instituted inquiry regarding " the divi sion" of Friday morning. Mr. MAXWELL stated that on Monday he should move for a return of the number of Roman catholic bishops or priests receiving grants of public money in the colonies, the dates at which those grants commenced, and the authority under which they were made. Mr. O'CONNELL added, that on this motion he should. move that the return be extended to Protestants of all de nominations, and also a return of the relative numbers of the members of the different sects. Colonel SIBTHORP intimated that on Monday he should move that the returns relating to commissions issued since 1838, and for which he moved on the 27th of February last, be laid before the house forthwith. He found that returns of a much mote voluminous nature, moved for since that period, had been laid before the house, and therefore he thought he was justified in his proposed course. On motion of Sir G. CLERIC, a new writ was ordered for Elginshire in the room of the Hon F. W. Grant, who had vacated by accepting the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun dreds. Lord HOTHAM asked Mr. Hume to explain the course he wished to take with respect to a notice of his relating to Judges of the Admiralty. Mr. HUME answered that he intended his motion should only apply to future judges. Lord HOTHAM intimated that in such case he should take an early opportunity of moving that after the dissolution of the present parliament no judge of the Amiralty be allowed to sit in the house. Sir R. H. INGLIS asked for information in reference to a large iron steamer lately taken into her Majesty's dockyard of Portsmouth, and refitted there, as there was a mystery connected with her destination, and there was a strong im pression that it was an illicit one. Mr. M. O ' FERRALL answered it was true that a vessel of the description mentioned had been refitted in the,dockyard of Portsmouth, but he believed there was nothing illicit in the objects of its destination. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to inquiry from Mr. Poking ton, intimated the intention of taking the further proceeding on the " Union" of the Canadas Bill on Monday, it being desirable to have the opinion of the house thereon. Mr. lIERRIEs asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he could name the day when he would submit his financial statement (the " Budget") to the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had hoped to be able to name the day before the holidays, but he found that he could not do so until the Monday after the holydays. Sir R.. PEEL asked whether there was any foundation for the report generally circulated, that an order in council had been issued for reprisals, in respect of China? Lord J. Russraa. answered that there had been an order in council for reprisals. Sir R. PEEL inquired whether it was intended to make any formal communication on the subject to Parliament ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, not at present. Sir R. PEEL.—Is it intended to issue letters of marque ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that he was not prepared to answer the question at that moment, but in a subsequent part of the sitting, his lordship said that he wished to state the character of the order ;—it was not to sanction the issuing of letters of marque, but to establish a court that-would have the power of condemning vessels seized by her Majesty's ships of war. His lordship added, in answer to further inquiries, that the date of the order in council was Friday last ; and that a copy of it should be produced by Monday. The remaining business having been disposed of, the House adjourned till Saturday, at half-past three. HOUSE OF LORDS.—SATURDAY. The printed papers bill was read a third time and passed. Lord ELLENBOROUGH stated that, after Easter, he should move the appointment of a select committee to consider what regulations it would be expedient to adopt respecting the publications of that house. After the presentation of some petitions, and the advance ment of some bills; their lordships adjourned. THE WEST INDIES. IMMIGRATION INTO BRITISH GUIANA. (From the Berbice Advertiser of Feb. 3.) By the mail which arrived on Thursday afternoon, we re ceived, in addition to our usual English and Island files, some numbers of the Liverpool STANDARD and Mail, con taining some very important articles on the state of the Bri tish West Indies generally, and of British Guiana particu larly : with most of their sentiments we quite agree, although there are a few things from which we must claim the right to dissent. Blind and infatuated must the mind be that Would hesitate to declare that the planters, as a body, have not much to complain of at this present time ; and equally blind and in fatuated must the mind he that cannot see much of the evil which our proprietary body are, at this time, the subject of, resulting from their own misguided policy, both as it respects the process of agricultural management, and also in the spirit of their colonial policy. It will not be disputed, that with the proprietary body belongs the direction of the agricultu ral process ; and we think it will be admitted, that they have the key of the legislature also. We quite agree with the Liverpool journalists, that the British West Indian planters have much to complain of, at this time, as a body. Crowned heads and elected parliaments long fostered the system of negro slavery in the colonies. It was a part of their system. They not only sanctioned, but nursed it; and however much it may be a foul blot on our national character, yet it must be admitted that, whilst the nation encouraged its merchants and capitalists to launch forth their millions into the colonies, which reflected such great wealth back again upon the mother country, to the ad vancement of its magnificence. power, and glory, it is bound to secure to the proprietary body security for its property, and justice to the utmost, as far as any human legislative enactments can secure it. But has the government of Great Britain done that ? Every one acouainted with the nature of West Indian property, whose cranium is not cursed with the organ of fanaticism, will pronounce at once no. That it has not done justice to the planters as a body, and therefore it has not done justice to the nation and to the world, we will attempt to evince in our remarks. We are highly pleased to find that the representatives of the West Indies are about to approach the government with their grievances. We wish them much success, and hope they will maintain a firm position ; which is the only way likely to produce success. But it may be asked, what will form the burden of their complaint ? It will be answered at once, the want of labourers to till the ground : it will be the old story, give us immigration on an extensive scale, or our properties will retrograde into their pristine rudeness, and the capital vested in them will be lost. In addition to which, they may urge every motive of humanity and good policy. The words of Sir J. C. Smyth might be employed with great emphasis :—" The capitalist and labourer, for ages to come, will find profitable employment in this important colony," for the importation of great numbers of labourers would promote " the happiness and comfort of the human race, and much diminish misery." If ever man uttered the words of truth and soberness, it was Sir James, when he expressed himself in this manner. The representatives might urge his words in favour of the great work of immigration, which alone, we are sure, are sufficient to operate on the govern ment. To urge the necessity of an importation of capital with the present number of labourers, would he futile, because there is a great amount of capital already in the colony, ready to be vested in agriculture, if labourers could but be had at any thing like reasonable terms. Labourers who are dragging out a miserable, half starved, ill-paid life, in other parts of the empire, would find profitable employment here. We are not sanguine in our expectations, of much real good resulting from the importation of field labourers from high latitudes. There are thousands of clever mechanics in Great Britain, who would better their circumstances much, no doubt, by coming to this country ; who, together with do mestic servants, not being exposed to the broiling sun and the drenching rains, might enjoy a fair share of health, with advantages and an independence which other countries do not afford. The planters, as a body, are at this time much agitated. They have received a compensation from the British nation for their slaves, it is true ; but have they been properly at tended to ? We think they might show the government that they have not. They vested great capital in the colonies, on the good faith of the British nation, which is as much bound to protect the agriculturist here from the want of labourers to keep up the cultivation, andfrom the competition of foreign and slave-grown produce, as it is to protect the property vested in English agriculture from competition with Russia and other countries. If Great Britain had not the means of redressing the grievances under which so respectable and im portant a part of the empire are suffering, and through whose enterprising spirit its national wealth has been so much aug mented, then there would not be those reasons for com plaint which now fill every mouth with murmur, and every mind with distrust : but she has the power within herself; she has millions of individuals, whose circumstances would be infinitely bettered by immigrating to these shores. Whilst, then, the British Isles are pouring forth such prodigious swarms of emigrants, and emigration is fostered by the go vernment to any soil but that of the luxuriant ailuvion of Guiana, the government withholding immigrants from this country is the agent of pecuniary loss to the capitalists as a body : it is the curse of the country, and is, too, doubly re prehensible when viewed with its concomitants. No doubt the value of West India property is at this moment very great; but it is equally, beyond a doubt, sinking, and will continue to sink, without a considerable increase to our la bouring population. Is it not unjust, then, to withhold im migration from us, when we consider, too, that thereby a curse is inflicted on the colony ? Had we labourers to culti vate our soil and to drain our swamps, so that the putrefac tion of rank weeds, and the stagnation of waters, might not poison the air, how much it would contribute to the healthful state of the colony ! No doubt it might be made as healthy as any country within the tropics. Who can help lamenting over the mistaken policy of the world, which has allowed the fairest blessing of nature to bloom its smiles for centuries on this country, inviting, by a thousand calls, the skill and in dustry of man, without responding to a voice so loud, so cheering, and so promising? We do' not lament that the monstrosities of slavery are put an end to, but we do lament to see our trenches choking up, our cane pieces neglected, and our once flourishing plantations falling back to their ori ginal state. Witness the East and Corentyne Coasts, which once spread their golden drapery before a smiling sun. Whilst Great Britain was bound, on the one hand, by every sacred principle, to put an end to the evils of slavery, it is also bound, at least, not to put any impediments in the way of our agri culture, much less should it positively act as it has, to the injury alike of itself and her colonies. When the Spaniards hit upon the plan of supplyin g the place of the Haytian aborigines, whom they had worked down in working their gold mines, by negroes from Africa, it was under the pretence of civilizing and christianizing them ; and great numbers were baptized. How far it was " an outward sign of an inward and spiritual grace," does not appear. England and other European nations, excited by the wealth which the Spaniards got from the 'West, took up the trade also, of exporting great numbers of negroes from Africa to the West Indies ; but it was with the fair un derstanding, at first, that they should be treated very humanely, whilst one great object proposed by this trade, was the civilization and conversion of the Hamite race. But as soon as the great profits of this rapidly degenerating trade began to flow into the national coffers, the nation winked at the means by which it was acquired, though Queen Eliza beth, who was very fruitful in the qualms of conscience, had great misgivings on this subject, too. Thus it grew and strengthened with years, until it was acknowledged as a part of the law of the land. Now, the same reason prevails now, as in the days gone by. We want labourers : the Africans are a race well adapted to our object : they are in a state of savage wildness, exposed to all the evils consequent upon ignorance and idolatry. A scheme of emigration for them would deliver them from the evils of savage barbarity, and a humane scheme of immigration for them to our shores would create a reciprocal blessing on the importers and the imported, whilst England would have the glory of furthering alike the cause of civilization and industry : British interest and Christianity. These observations will apply also to India. England ought to attend as judiciously to the colonizing of her colonies as to her own domestic policy. We hope she will look well to this. We beseech the British public, for it is to them, and not to a batch of bungling indifferent place keepers that we are to look. We say then to the English nation, let the cries of barbarity, let the human gore spilt in savage wars on Africa's deserts rouse you, let the horrors of Indian infanticide, the iaolatry of the funeral pile, the pesti lence, starvation, and miseries of the teeming millions of In dia, bleeding beneath the delusions of idolatry, animate you to call upon the Government to do what every principle of national interest and glory should prompt them to : which is, to open up a free system of immigration to those coun tries, whose inhabitants would thereby so much better their circumstances and advance British interest. IMMIGRATION INTO THE WEST INDIES. (From the Jamaica Standard of Feb. 15.) We observe by the town papers, that a Mr. Watt, agent for the Messrs. Mitchel, has lately arrived in the New Phoenix at St. Ann's Bay, with 140 Irish emigrants , which he is re ported to have selected with great care, from a neighbourhood where both himself and his family are well known. The people are described to be of a superior description for their humble sphere of life, and give every promise of turning out an acquisition to the several properties upon which they have been located. Only keep rum from them—tnat bane of nine-tenths of all the emigrants who have ever yet come to this country—and we have little doubt of their success—none whatever, indeed, either as regards their comfort or their health, if they will only abstain from intemperance and prove moderately industrious. For this purpose, we have often thought, that were employers to encourage a taste for sweets, among their newly-arrived peasantry, by sharing out sugar Made into " beverage," instead of the too often deleterious mixture of new rum and water with which they are supplied, a habit of temperance might thereby be instilled into them, which would prove in the end not less advantageous to the master, than morally as well as physically beneficial to the labourers themselves. In the cider counties of England, it is a practice almost universal, to allow a certain quantity of that liquor per diem, to each person, at something less than its equivalent in money wages, and the result has always proved, with the most useful.effects • why then, should not a similar custom be adopted among the sugar parishes of Ja maica, where the juice of the cane, (more especially when it is flavoured with that of the lemon, which is to be found in abundance in almost every pasture or hedge-row) is certainly much more nourishing as well as palateable, than any new made cider that we ever saw. The country negrocs, gene rally, are a temperate race,—and why f from no other cause than that from their very childhood they have been in the habit of using the cane juice as their only beverage, in special encouragement of which, the old system, with all its faults, allowed a pint of the same per day, to every person on the estate during crop, a practice neither discontinued nor taken into any account under the more liberal agreements of the new. It is a fact, we believe, of almost universal application, that wherever a taste for sweets is imbibed, there is little or no relish or desire for the stronger stimulants, a truth which we would advise all those having the management of immi grants to bear in mind. ... The absolute necessity of immigration to an island so scan tily supplied with inhabitants, and so fruitful as Jamaica,— if anything like industry among the l a bourers or prosperity to the planters is desired l e asubject which has long occu pied the attention of our publicw readers; but, like many other mat ters in which theal has been concerned, it has unfortunately been much more discussed than acted upon. Not so, however, with the people of other colonies. In Trinidad and Demerara, for instance,—the two colonies next to Jamaica in extent, as well asin ot rultivated lands,—the strongest efforts are being made, b by public co-operation and private interest, to effect this desirable purpose ; several cargoes conse quently we find in the former the arrival lately announced, one of which we observe is composed of American emigrants, and another of German.e By a return of labour performed by some of the former, during ttl the first two weeks of their arrival, it would appear accomplished from two to three " tasks " per they each of young p rintlants," weeding diem, i n " weeding" canes,—the " first weeding which also included " moulding," being divided into of 3,600 superficial feet ; while for the " third w ratoons" the task was 6,100 feet. The price paid, we%rnr ofy also observe, was " four bits, with an allowance for each a task of half a pound of fish, and two gills of rum, or its equi valent,—say, in all, five bits pe r task. So that these la bourers were earning from 3s. 9d. to ss. 6d. sterling per day, and thus, it is said, encouraging the other labourers upon the property, " from sheer shame," to perform " double" their usual task ! —a fact which gives the Trinidad Standard a very good opportunity of referring to the old Aldermanbury assertion, that the labourers, both in the time of slavery and the apprenticeship, were much overworked ; but which could scarcely have been the case, certainly, if now it is found that they themelves can very easily accomplish twice the quell, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY. Lord F. RUSSELL gave notice that, immediately after Easter, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to the registration of voters in England and Wales. He deterred, until after Easter, the motion of which he had given notice for Tuesday, viz., to proceed with a bill to amend the clergy reserves act; and stated (in answer to Mr. S. O'Brien) that he should also, after Easter, give his general views as regarded the registration of voters in Ire land. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he should, after Easter, call attention to the state of the occupiers of land in India; and also that he should, on motion of going into committee on theregistration of voters' (Ireland) bill move, by way of amendment, that leave be given to bring a bill to extend and assimilate the parliamentary franchises of the people of Eng land and Ireland, and to reform, in certain particulars, the reform acts for both countries. Sir R. H. INGLIS gave notice that he should, on Thurs day, May 7th, call attention to the subject of church exten sion. The printed papers bill was brought from the Lords, with amendments, which, with the bill, were ordered to be printed, and considered on Monday. The tithes composition (Ireland) bill was read the third time and passed. Sir R. PEEL withdrew his motion respecting the produc tion of the order in council directing reprisals. He asked whether there would be any objection to lay the commission before parliament when it was ready, and whether the order in council gave instructions to all her Majesty's vessels to seize all those belonging to the Emperor of China, in what ever seas they might be found. Lord PALMERSTON answered, that the order gave autho rity to her Majesty's ships of war to detain any Chinese ves sels they might fall in with. Their ultimate disposal would depend on the course pursued by the Chinese government. After some further conversation, the subject dropped. Mr. GRATTAN said he should certainly persevere in the motion on Monday for an order for a call of the house for May 6. The house then adjourned till Monday. NOTICE TO MARINERS. WRECK IN THE ST. GEORGE'S CHANNEL. " CORK, sth APRIL. " The wreck of the Havre, from Orleans, for Liverpool, lies in a most dangerous position for vessels passing up or down channel. Steamers and other vessels from the east ward should keep the lighthouse, shut in by Poole Head, in order to pass safely inside of her; otherwise they should keep well off. At low water one of her topmasts is visible about two or three feet, and she lies in 15 fathoms, five miles off the land." (QUARANTINE REGULATIONS IN DENMARK.

On Saturday afternoon, as some youngsters were roving in a wood near Wincheap, they observed a man servant scratch ing the earth from the root of an old tree, and, supposing he had found a treasure, they watched his movements. On his leaving the wood they repaired to the spot, and discovered that he had concealed two bottles of port wine. It is needless to add that they made no hesitation in taking the booty, with which they afterwards enjoyed themselves, of course to ,the chagrin of the depositor when he learned his mistake in se creting that which doubtlessly had been fraudulently obtained. Could the bottles be identified, what a tale they would tell against him in whom, probably,confidence is now placed by withhis master.—Kentid s e are connected i n i be la i FALMOUTH HARBOUR AND PACKET STATION'. —We have ableng ppy ttoh es t oa interests thisiorcafanttee d the toer favourable r(ol i ?o n . a. - N t li c e l n i e g h m e n e p c n l eet: u wer g coal-hulk, with her moorings, together with the use of a lighter, and such stores as may be requisite, from the dock yard at Devonport, for the purpose of assisting the committee in their plans for improving the harbour. Through the great exertions of the Cornish members, Government have at last been induced to agree to a plan, by which, we trust, Falmouth will ultimately triumph over all her opponents. A commission is to be appointed, of three properly qualified in dividuals, who are to survey Southampton, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and to report which place is, i n their opinion, the most advantageous as a station for the West India steamers. Entertaining no doubt whatever upon the great supericrity of this port over every other in the Channel, we are very sanguine as to the result, and that Falmouth will still con tinue, as she has been for nearly two centuries—the p ac ket station of Great Britain.--Falmoua Expren. tity of work, and that others are found quite - capable of doing even three times as much ! " Need we," adds he, " a more sufficient proof of the ultimate superiority of the new system ?" (From the Jamaica Standard of Feb. 19.) Resuming our remarks upon the important subject of im migration, we now turn to our enterprising neighbours, — the proprietors and planters of British Guiana. Here we find that, on the 13th December last, u public meeting was . held in Georgetown, at which the proposals for establishing an emigr . ation society were fully discussed, and an agent ad- pointed in the 'Cuffed States to carry their purposes into execution. From the documents laid before this meeting , we glean the important intelligence, that there are upwards of 400,000 free people of colour in America, to the major part of whom the opportunities of emigration would be con sidered a " great boon ;"—that of these there are upwards of 53,000 in the state of Maryland alone, 20,1100 of whom are in the city of Baltimore, one half at least agriculturists by trade, and who, in consequence of the want of employment and al most destitution during the winter, wordc most gladly avail themselves of any fair scheme of emigration which might be proposed to them. Already many of them had eagerly , availed themselves of the offer held out by the Trinidad agent, and they now only waited equally liberal terms, and the opportunities of conveyance, to bestow their services upon the planters of British Guiana. These terms it would appear were simply—to " pay _their passage money, and fur nish supplies for the voyage," after which they should be free to choose their own employers. Mr. Carberry, their Baltimore agent, and himself a considerable proprietor in Guiana, ha accordingly seen and conversed with various portions of these coloured people, of different religious sects, who all expressed themselves gratified with the statements which he had given them, and held out every promise of finding him as many emigrants as he would know what to do with : the people themselves were overjoyed at the idea of being relieved from their " grievous civil disabilities," joined to the equally odious " tyranny and prejudice" under which they one and all labour in that free and liberal country ; while no party in the state, either colonizationists or aboli tionists, seemed to entertain the slightest objection to the scheme--nay, adds Mr. Carberry in one of his letters upon this subject—" Extensive emigration to the West Indies would meet with warm support from the southern slave holder, because it would tend to enhance the value of slaves, by withdrawing the cheapest description of labour from the market, and because he considers the presence of a free co loured population not likely to increase the contentment, the industry, or the subordination of his slaves." Here, then on every hand encouragement appears held out to the enterprising, to obtain almost whatever number they choose, of able, willing, and industrious people, at the small est possible expense,--an opportunity and advantage which, we trust, will not be lost sight of by the Jamaica planters. According to the terms entered into both by those of Trini dad and Demerara, we should imagine, that for the small suns of six or eight dollars per head, as many emigrants might be obtained in the course of a year or two; under this scheme as might yet replenish every estate in the island. All that is wanted to. begin with, is an active and trustworthy agent in the United States, who may either be appointed there, or sent from this country, as may be convenient. To effect this,. let a society be formed, and subscriptions raised, to cover the necessary expenses of chartering a vessel, and providing provisions for the voyage ; and we entertain not a doubt, judging from the success and prospects of success attending similar efforts elsewhere, that for every thousand pounds thus raised and expended, some three or four hundred effective la bourers will be obtained—not only acquainted with the cul tivation of sugar, but congenial with the climate, and accus tomed to the habits of the country. If these are not advan tages in favour of this scheme over all others which have yet been brought before the notice of the Jamaica public, we know not what can be considered so. We remind our read ers, that Trinidad and Demerara have already begun to avail themselves of the opportunity, and we do trust, although other schemes possessing none of these advantages may have proved far from satisfactory in their results, that Jamaica will not, therefore, be deterred from standing forward in the com petition, and proving to the American labourer the superior advantages of her climate and institutions over either of her competitors. We hope to see a meeting shortly called, to take this sub ject into consideration ; meantime we shall be happy—as we cannot find room at present for the publication of the docu ments in question—to submit them to the perusal of any of our friends who may favour us with a call. (From the Jamaica Royal Gazette) This subject, which to us West Indians is of so much im portance, has received the warmest support of one of the most respectable British journals, the Liverpool Standard. In reference to the public meeting lately held in Demerara, for the purpose of giving expression to the general feeling in favour of immediate measures being taken for the promotion of immigration into that colony, the editor the paper above named gives his opinion :—" We heartily rejoice to find that the respectable colonists have taken this subject, in hand in good earnest. We anticipate the greater: advantages from the proposed movement on their part, responded to, as that movement will be, by the mercantile community in Great Britain. The question must be forced upo the early atten tion of parliament, especially after the publication of Lord Nonnanby's despatch to Governor Light." On a subject involving, as it does, the future welfare of all our colonies, we fearlessly assert that the legislature of Jamaica is bound to support the application to parliament, atd in their memo rial show, in the fullest and most evident wanner, the effect of this valuable scheme. Properly speaking, we have no manufactories—the capitalists are generally agriculturists— the failure of agriculture would, therefore, :rievitably involve the failure of every other interest. It is undeniable, that " if sugar, cotton, coffee, and other valuable staples be not raised in the colony, the merchant will ge: no sale for his wares, or the artizan for his handicraft." We do hope, how ever, by timely and judicious manoeuverirg, to render the well-known conciliatory disposition of the West Indians the means of inducing the assistance of the dominant party in Great Britain. We have made the most self-denying sacri fices; it is, therefore, fair to expect, and, what is of greater consequence, to receive the support of the imperial govern ment, towards developing the ample resoures of these colo nies. A late Grenada paper states, that a cargo of - immigrants from Switzerland had arrived in Trinidad, amounting to 800, consisting of agricultural labourers, earpelters, and other tradesmen. So, the people of Trinidad are alive to their own interests, as they ought to be,—and why sliculd it not be the same in Jamaica? Slaving immigrants frOrn Europe and America, flowing as it were, into Trinidad, that colony will reap a golden harvest, whilst the soil of other Islands will be as unproductive as the.D.eserts of. Arabia. What is this Island about, arid when will the proprietary open their eyes to the conviction of truth? Our peasantry are more inclined to indulge in the bliss of indolence, than to engage in the labour of industry. But allowing that they are otherwise, we have not in point of numbers more than enough for the cultivation of sugar, coffee, cotton, and Pimento. — Consequently how can we reasonably talk of the introduction and management of the mores multzsantis, of the cultivation of the spices of the East, and other items bi equal value ? To do more than we are now doing, immigration, to a proper ex tent, must be encouraged and then, and oily then, can we hope fully to " develope the riches of this tine Island." — Let us emulate other countries by zeal, energy, and activity, and not sleepily think that we can go " onwinds," by supine ness or indifference. TRINIDAD. IMPORTANT EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROII TRINIDAD. DATED 23D JANUARY, 1840.—" We have commenced crop here, certainly under much more favourable auspices than we did last season. Last year about (10 immigrants i of all descriptions arrived in this land ; which, thouzla it would scarcely be felt in Demerary, is to us, considering our small population, au immense relief; of these, two cargoes were from the States, New York, and Philadelphia, and we are now in momentary evpectation of a ship from the former with 300 more. They are an active, intelligent, hard-work ing set of people, fond of saving money and acquiring lands. In general those in our employ do two tasks per day, and af terwards work their provision ground. They have at once commenced the common field work, and from being accus tomed to severe labour in America, LAUGH AT THE TASKS, to which our old people have been accustomed. The pro prietary body are treating them liberally, giving them extra allowances, as they have been used to much better food, than is customary here." FOREIGN SUGAR. (From the Jamaica Royal Gazette.) Some time ago, when exertion was employed for the pur pose of inducing the British Government do do away with what was considered the "grave of Britons," it was strongly urged in opposition to all that was advanced, that to do so would be inconsistent with good faith or with the dictates of the commonest justice and humanity, and that the great mass of the individuals who composed the colony are Africans, liberated by our cruizers from the holds of slave ships. Allowing, for the sake of argument, this to be true, are not the claims of the West India Colonies much stronger and more just than anything which may bear in favour of Sierra Leone? Whence were the liberated Africans exported Were they intended to cultivate the soil of our colonies, or to toil under the lash of the foreign sugar grower ? No man possessing the hundredth part of a grain of common honesty will deny the real fact of the case—that the " liber ated" were never shipped for the British Western Isles. If the continuance of the support of Government be indispen sably necessary for bolstering up the African Golgotha, we say that support is an act of injustice cruelly inflicted on our West Indies, for having generously aided in accomplishing the abolition of slavery. Were sugar, the produce of slavery, excluded from the markets of " free" England and of the European continent, we would ask, where would slaves he seen, and where would be the necessity for upholding a colony notorious for the waste of treasure, and the frightful mortality of Britons ? Unfortunately, legislators, whether colonial or imperial, will too often indulge, even at the ex pense of common sense, in political error—will indulge in a dog-sleep injurious, indirectly to themselves, but directly to the nation at large. We appeal even to the most prejudiced anti-colonial man (if such there be), whether the removal of the " protecting duties" is not a positive and substantial encouragement—aye, a bonus given to the unprincipled and hellish trader in inhuman blood, bones, and sinews, and to his no less amiable co-adjutor, the foreign slave-holder ? Let Britain's Premier, the whole host of lOrds spiritual and temporal, with the lower house of the imperial parliament put their hands on their hearts in the presence of the Deity and reply in the negative ! If they cannot, why then worry and annoy their own colonists so perpetually, and in so un just a manner ? Why not encourage them by every lawful means, and with kindness assist in raising the productions of their islands in value, at least above even the produce of any foreign colony that may boast of possessing the great boon of freedom ? In the language of truth we fearlessly assert that the British nation is as firmly and interminably pledged, and lies under as serious and solemn an obligation to this, and her sister colonies, as it is to the payment of his pension to its wounded and disabled soldier ! .NV e say again it is utterly impossible that such a violation of every just principle, of every moral obligation, which ought to guide the conduct of nations as of individuals, can be seriously contemplated ? Time will show. THE REINDEER IN SUMMER.—It is only during winter that these animals enjoy any comfort, as even moderate cold is insufficient for their nature. The great heat of the northern summer subjects them to much pain, and brings with it their special plague in the form of a gadfly. Lin naeus, in his Flora Lapponica, describes the mode in which this insect tortures the reindeer. About the beginning of July the latter shed their coats, at which time the hair on the back is erect. The oestrus flutters the whole day over the herd, and takes the opportunity of dropping on them an egg, scarcely the size of a mustard-seed. The state of the coat at this season favours its admission ; and, protected by the heat of the part, a larva is produced that finds its way into the flesh, and continues there the winter , increasing to the bulk of an acorn. As the warm weather comes on, it becomes restive, and worries the poor animals almost to madness, till it has eaten its way through the skia• Six or eight of these tormentors, and sometimes even more, fall to the share of each deer ; the young ones, after their first win ter, are most subject to their attacks ; and Linnmus adds, that a third or fourth part of the calves fall victims to this complaint, which is known among the inhabitants by the name of kurbma. As soon as an oestrus is observed flutter ing about, the greatest confusion exhibits itself in the herd ; they fly from the obnoxious insect, running against the wind, and driving from the m an y un f or t u nate individual who has received the unlucky windfall. While suffering under the irritation of the gnawing, th e y rus h madly into the sea, and feel some relief while under water. On this accoant, many of the Laplanders keep near the shores of the Icy Sea during the summer, and only return to the interior about Septem ber."—Townskend's Sporting Excursions in the Rocky Mountains.

The sales of Brimstone are 100 tons, from £l2 2s 6d to Xl2 10s, and some little business has taken place in Sumac, at the quotations. —Madders and Roots continue in a very dull state, and not a single sale reported, except a few ship-damaged.—There has been a little inquiry for Olive Oil, and only small sales, without change in prices.—For Cod and Seal Oils the demand is upon the most limited scale, particularly for pale Seal, which may be bought in quantity tinder the quotation; a few trivial sales have been made at .e2B.—No alteration in Seed Oils; pale Rape sells slowly at 38s to 38s 6d, and Linseed at 24s 6d per cwt.—Oil of Turpentine is still dull of sale.—The transactions in Palm Oil have been limited, and at irregular prices, ranging from .4'36 to 15s per ton; for ar rival, 200 to 300 tons have been sold rather lower.—Some business has taken place in Petersburg clean and outshot, and also in Rhine Hemp, at the quotations ; a small parcel of Jute brought lOs per ton.—ln Flax little has been done.—The sales of Petersburg and Odessa Tallow have been confined to small lots, at former Prices ; at auction to-day, 380 pipes and hhds Monte Video Tallow were offered, and nearly the whole sold briskly, very fine at 47s 6d to 48s 3d, second quality, but of good colour and firm, at 45s 6d to 475; the inferior description was neglected. .LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 10. The demand this week has been very moderate, and a large por tion of the late imports from the United States being of inferior quality, the market for this description is heavy, and prices are id lower than on Friday last, the middling qualities are also rather cheaper, whilst the fair and better kinds remain without material change ; Brazil, on the other hand, is scarce, and fully id dearer ; in Egyptian and Surat there is no alteration. 2000 American have been taken on speculation, and 1500 American for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 11 During the last seven days we have had liberal supplies of Wheat and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland; and the imports from abroad comprise 16,170 qrs. of Wheat, 1840 qls. of Oats, 8000 qrs. of Barley, and 11,000 brls. of Flour. Duties have beau paid upon 880 qrs. of Wheat, 3570 qrs. of Barley, 2500 qrs. of Beans, 110 qrs. of Peas, and 1620 brls. of Flour. Yesterday the rates of import upon foreign Wheat became ltis 8d per quarter; and under the im pression that a considerable portion of the bonded stocks of this article will row he released, holders have been more anxious to sell, to effect which many have submitted to a decline of fully lid per bushel from the prizes of this day week; at this reduction, however, a fair retail business was done here, yesterday; and, at Manchester, to-day, more purchases were made, from this sidO, than for many previous market days. American Flour is offering, free, at 3gs to 405 per M. : about 2000 brig. have changed hands, in bond, at 285 6d per barrel. Oats have met only a limited de mand, and are rather cheaper, Oatmeal has sold very slowly : good Irish manufacture may be bought at 33s to 33s 6d. The large su,.plies of foreign Barley have forced down prices of this article many shillings per quarter : fine parcels have been sold at about 37s per imperial quarter. Beans are scarce, and maintain their previous value. No change as regards Peas. LIVERPOOL Pit. CES CURRENT. MADDER, 18 cal. S. (I. S. d.
