IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.---YESTEADAT.

Lord STILATHYDXN moved that an address be presented to
her Majesty, praying for the appointment of a British Conio
at Mozambique, with a view of promoting the interests of
commerce and assisting the efforts made by the 'English and
Portuguese Governments for the suppression of the ola're
trade.

Lord WODEHOLISE, while recognising the importance of the
subject, stated that the Government felt obliged to oppose ti'S
motion, as the only sure means to put down the slave trade in
Africa was to accustom the natives to legitimate commsrce—'s
result which expeditions like that of Dr. Livingstone, Of
which an increased estimate had been this year proposed, wse
most likely to promote. The true evil, however, lay on
other side of the Atlantic, and it to be met at all by diplomsti°
action, must be encountered in Cuba, as in Spain, of which that
island was a dependency.
Lord Brougham supported the motion, as did the BishoP of
Oxford. The Duke of Somerset opposed it, and
Earl GRANVILLE, believing that the suggested appointtuat
would have no effect towards suppressing the slave' trade'
suggested the withdrawal of the motion.
Lord STRATHEDEti, nevertheless, persisted; .and

Their Lordships divided.

Mr. MAT INS argued against. the bill, which he 'considered
equivalent to an act of confiscation. It would tranafer the

injustice to the lessees of capitular estates. lie proposed that
the property should still be vested in the dean and chapter,
who, after deducting a sufficient income for themselves, should
hand over the surplus revenue to the commissioners.
