Tlis Earl of CARLISLE rose, pursuant to notice, to
pegarat amiable from ladies of Ringaino, in Jamaica, conk-
plaiting of the importation of slaves to Calm. The pelf-
Deese newel their lordships to ailsgrl web measures as
theyealikt think necessary to put ea sod for ever to sla-
very. TY Mika of Jamaica had good Ham for making

this country far those of the aloes trade the former
conatry received 400, but be was sorry to say that
over since the ratification that treaty its provisions bad •
been systematically violated.
The Earl of CLARE (DON wished it was is his
power to give to his noble friend any other answer than
that he had lima • few nights previously to a noble and ,
learned friesd, bat be could only express the same regret,
sad admit that die previsions of the treaty to which his
noble trued bed alluded, were consistently and feloniously
of the captains emend of Cuba, he, also, believed was the
tact, but be was glad, however, be had made a distinction
in favour of the two distinguished officers who offered
violated. He (Lard Clareadou) had not much additional
isformation to give his noble friend, but what
be bad was not altogether of an unsatiefactory
nature. He bad anticipating the inquiries that his noble
friend would make, brought down two despatches, which
hie lordship would, be was sure, allow him to real in de-
ference to the importance of the subirct. The
drat was a letter which Lord 'Lowden bad
mut to the lore Stervary for Foreign Affairs.
(In this despatch Lord Howdea states that the Spanish
minister assures him that every effort shall be made,
oven to the disregard of the eel/remain of the state,
for the satiaetion of the slave trade.) Now, if this bad
not been followed by some corroborative action, he
shout I not have thought it worth while to waste their
lordships' time he reading it ; bat he had jest received
• second letter from Lord Howden, I. which he
thought toms credit was gime to the Captain-Gemini.
(Lord Bowden hors Wormed the Secretory for Foreign
Affairs that, ia oessequence of recent peremptoryinstrim-
hoes sent to the Captain-General of Cabe, directing hiss
Melnik ao eiertioa, esteem, measures had been adopted.
even those for which the law offered bat a spare foundation.)
Their lordships would consider that this was only • pro-
mise of something yet to be done; but he had en thateven-
log *geared a letter from Lord Howden—whose seal and in-
dustry la this matter had
that the Captain-0 I. acting on the new instructions,
Act instituted a search in the iaterior of the island, which
had resulted In the re-capture of one hundred nevi**.
Ha (Lied Clareados) did not attach much importance
to these deamastrations; Luc as they showed that the
Captaia-General was disposed to act with more attention to
the wialtee of this country cad his own honour, he thought
It Duly tithe to give nim the benefit of this information.
The bishop of OXFORD thought it was capable of
demonstrate& that the very trade which they were
endeavonrina to put down on the coast of Cuba was,
at least indirectly, if not directly, maintained with
British capital; sad it was the especial duty of the

nation which supplied capital for almost every enterprise
that promised a lucrative return, to enforce the observance
of treaties for the suppression of the slays trade. (Hear.)
find BROUGHAM said, hieing on • recent occasion
brought a cbirge of some importance on this subject, he
thought it right to express Lis grotitude on hearing that his'
noble friend (the Earl of Clarendon) hag remised en se-
count of the good intentions of the CaptalnMeneral of
Cube. (Hear, hear.) Ile should, bewerer, wait some
little time before he withdrew . his aggligiaapa sgniaat
! his Cuban excellency. (Laughter.)
Lord WHARSCLIFFE thought both their lordships
‘12,1 the country were indebted to his noble friend for hay-
ing brougt4 fassant this subject and thus elicited the in-
formation which had been commuxicated.

COMMISSION ON THE BOROUGH OF MALDON.

The Earl of ABERDEEN said Ye had to move their
lordships to agree to an address of the House of Commons
to inquire into corrupt practices in the borough of Maldon.
Lord ST. LEONARD'S said he thought. ;he mode in
which the nob!. earl had dealt with this question was very
unsatisfsctory. He was opposed to the motion on the
ground that there was not sufficient evident* to support the
finding of the H3lllO of Commons; but by the course
which be had pursued the noble earl had left him nothing
