A man who had negroes in Jamaica and Sr. Thomas's, and who trans-
ferred one of them from one island to another would be liable to be
transported. The Bill was an emanation of that fanatical irregularity
of mind, which would render that excellent measure, the AbolWnn
of the Slave Tr .de, cdio.,s hi the West Indian Islands. When such
a sweeping measure of legiaition was proposed against any Act which
Might keep alive the Slave Trade, it might not be improper to pro-
side against abuses of the Charter of the Sierra Leone Company,
%vhich had been rumoured to exist
The Earl of LIVERPOOL admitted that the Bill was drawn up in a
slovenly manner, buy he thought the obj• ct of the Bill was good, es-
picially as far as it preverred the application of British capital to the
sultivati m of foreign colonies.
The House then divhird—For the Report 9, Proxies 10.19—Against
it 11, Proxies 12, 44-.. Majority s.—The Bill was thus lost.—Ad•
journed.

DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.

The Honse having resolved itself into a Committee on a Message
tom the Prince Regent, relative to the Marriage of the Duke of
Cumberland, Lerd Castlereagh said, the allowance to his Royal
highness, at pieseut, was 18,COO1. subject to the deduction of the
Property Tax, and he shoal now propose an additional allowance of
6,0001. for the joint lives of the Duke and D.., he's of Cumberland,
and to contii•ne ,o the Duchess, should shesurvive his Royal H'ghness.
Mr. W. KEENE and Sir M. W. R sDLEY opposed the !notion; they
cons•dere,l the Duke alnaly liberally provided for, especially as he
intended to reside in a I.seihn country.
Mr. BENNCTT and Si; C. Botta etc followed on the same side; the
form .r averted to the lady to whom the K iyal Duke was married,
and observed, he was conv,nced, had the King been in a state to have
known of this marriage, he would tu t lt,ve consented to it. He
would ask the Noble Lerd whether the Queen had not expressed her_
aril in strong !elms on the subject of this marriage, arid declared, it
was unfitting and unseemly that the Duke of Cumberland should
marry a lady between whom and the Duke of Cambridge a marriage
bad barn broken off. _ _ _

had done any thing for her—had she no dower Isom her first husband,
Priroo Louis of Prussia, or from her second husband, the Primer>,
