es, whether it should be at cure agreed to trod the whole as
ego estate, without any &nineties of old or new fires. The
shames, who said he had called the roaming at the desire of
the lawetore, entered at some length into the circumstances
attending the bankruptcy, and the various proceedings which
have been instituted under it. After showing the levies
which had tens effected by the inspectors In the carrying on
of the meteors, be asked whether it wen not batter to allow
them to walkup) than to wind-up the affairs, the sus-
pension of whiob would mate a wide-spread distress.

IMMIGRATION AT JAMAICA.
Lord BROUGHAM asked whether the royal assent had
been given to the Jamaica Immigration Bill.
The Eul of CARNARYON reminded the borne of the
circumstances under which this act had come under the con-
sideration of the government. Some time beck, as the noble
lord knew, the government had received an sat of the lonia-
latuee of Jamaica upon this subject. That set was found so
objectionable in many of its clauses, that his tight he. friend
at the heed of the Colonial Department could not advise the
sanction of the crown. A despatch wee addressed to the
governor of Jamaica pointing out the objectionable
nature of many of the provisions in the bill, but not dis-
tenting from rte main object. Since this another set was
passed, not free from objections on some grounds, but yet a
great improvement on the former measure. This bill his
right hen. friend int,nded should receive the sanction of the
crown on the first convenient opportunity. Be was bound
to admit that the government bad received several memo-
riots spinet the act, but after considering them
every
with eve possible atten•int and respect, his sight
hon. Meg had come to the concludes riga bo hod &Mir
- Wien seteresses to the baste in which this act was
to have been passed, be would remind his noble friend
arced Brougham) that the principle of this act was not a
are one. Similar provisions had long extended to every
West Indian °elm, except Jamaica.
Lord BROUGHAM said that the act was in fact pealed
through the legielatnre of Jamaica with undue haste. It
WAS brought in on one Wedneeday and bad passed through
all its sieges by that day week. And the house should re-
member that between these two periods there ware two dap,
fia.urdsy sod Sunday, on which nothing could be done. He
believed that the act was a most dangerous and unjust one ,•
that it would tend to the detriment of the poorer CLAISONand
give grant encouragement to slavery.
Earl GREY thought his noble friend appeared to condemn
all immigration. Now he believed that it had been of great
service to the West India colonise. It was oaly the other
day that be saw the account of the voyage home of • number
of coolies who had am eased considerable SIIIIIS of money. No
doubt care should be taken to avoid snything tending in the
slighesst degree to the eacouregement of Amery. The noble
etc) (Cameroon) bad said the act in question wee in some
respects objectioelable,aad yet that it wee to receive the sanc-
tion of the mows. Now, if them object,ons were at all
serious, this course was, at the let* a very imprudent one.
It had recently bees the practice of the home government,
as it invariably Ina when he held the male of the Colonial
Department, to submit now of them bills to her Majesty for
confirmation, till they had been so amended as to be nnob-
jec•ionable. He was sorry to hear [rem the noble earl that
that practice was in this instance to bo departed from, end
he could sot help thinking that the inconvenience of delay
was a small evil compared with that of giving up a power
which it was so essential for the government to peeress.
Lord BROUGHAM, in answer to the observation of Earl
Grey, said he had en no opinion against immigration
la graerel. HY o eafloss only applied to this palmier
_ . .

after Demo farther diaetuaion the matter dropped.
