EDUCATION.

A MARRIELY CLERGYMAN, a 'Graduate of
the University of_ Oxford, whose thoughts have been
long ditederi to the important subject} of Education, has ap-
propriated a House and Premises of very 'superior description
tft! the purposes of a select and liberal Estabiislinient.. While
he Situation and Accommodations are equal io every ex-
pedation that might be formed, he is able to give such Re-
tErences as will satisfy any inquiry respeding.his motives ter
tuEh An Undertaking, and his principles in. the conduct of it.
The former are little c.onnetted with present emolument, and
the latter will '.be discernible in the undeviating attention
which, without the slightest relaxation of the characteristic
energy of a Classical School, will be used to establish the
Prinelpfes tat the Church of England in the mind of eery
Pupil entrusted to his cafe. Sensible that in announcing his
intention to pay especial regard to the point of Religiousin-
struction,'he risks the classic:arch:trader of his P tan. he still

Lord BATHURST moved the second reading of
thb7Bill fof'Regulating the Trade of this Country
with the Brazils. He would take this' opportunity
to observe, that the intention and.provisions of this
Bill seemed to be -much misunderstood, that the
alarm it apPeared to excite in the mind of some
Noble Lords, and the objections urged by !hem
against the measure, were, in a great degree, if not
wholly, unfounded. It was- insinuated, that the.
importation of sugar'and cotton from the Brazils
would greatly tend. to: glut the market for these
articles from our own Colonies, which was already
overstocked,' and that it must therefore aggravate
the diffievilties. and the distress. under which our
West India Planters already. laboured. But it
should be recolleded, that sugar and cotton were not
the only ankles of which it was the ohje& oldie
Bill to allow the importation ; on the contrary, the
articles more anxiously looked for were rice, tallow,
hides, lumber, Ilcc. and not sugar and cottone and
were it to be found, that too large quantities of the
latter articles were imported, regulations would he.
adopted, effectually to prevent .the quantity from
overstocking the market and turning to the dis-.
advantage of Our West India. Trade. There was,
consequently, no just reason for:tne I:ipprehension4
which some Noble Lords entertained vf the injuri,
Ous tendency of the measure.
Lord AUCKLAND was not •so sanguine as the
Noble Lords opposite him in his expedations of the
benefits that would result to this Country from the
new commercial intercourse with the Brazils. Per.
baps its operation upon our West India Tiede would
not immediately prove very detrimental.; 'bet its
tendency was of that nature, and therefore it would
be wiseto adopt precautions against it'.
Lord GRE!vVILLE went at great length into
the objedions he bad started against- the Bill on a
former occasion, viz. its tendency more deeply to
embarrass our West India Planters, if not wholly to
ruin oui'West ndia Colonies, and the opportunity
and templet foo it held ..ut ofencoura.ging and extend-
ing the Sieve Trade. The.importatton of sugar from
the Braids, in how'ver 'Mali quantities; must tend
to lower the detu +rid for our West Indio- produce ;
the market was eoefessedly overstocked already,. and
where was the hone of an outlet to relieve it Be,.
sides, the effect of encouraging this trade in articleS•
of West India produce, would necessarily draw into
thateltannel no small portion of British capital,—
British industry would boadded to British capital in
speculations to extend anti improve the sugar-planfa-.
tiaras in the Brazils ;. and then must necessarily be'
augmented all the difficulties and disadvantages- that
already hang upou our West India Colonies, which
difficulties entirely originated• in the applicwion of
British capital and industry to the cultivation and
improvement of the Colonies of our EneMies while
they were in our passessien. But what be chiefly
rose toinsist upon *As, the enCouragement which
this trade must afford to the. continuance of the
Slave Trade. The whOle cultivation in the Portuguese
possessions in the Brazils was carried on by slaves.
If, therefore, ail extension and an encouragement
were now to be given to the cultivation of sugar in.
the Brazils, an. encouragement and extension must,
.at the same time, be given to that abominable traf-
fic which it was the er:de of the British Legislature,
,apd the glory of the British. Nation, to have abo-
lished, as f..ir at least as the authority of the British
Government could enforce that niemorablead. Nowt
their Lordships would recoiled the Address of -both
Houses of Parliament to his Maje-sty, preying that
instrndions might be given to his Majesty's Minis-
ters at Foreign Courts to
.engage those
.Courts to
co-operate with his Majesty's Government in pre-
paring and eifiding the 'annihilation of the. Slave
Teade. The subject had been opened and proceed-
ed in with the French Government, 'and had not
the late Negotiation with France failed, in his opi-
nion, the question with regard to the Slave Trade
Would have succeeded. He had, on a flarmer occa-
sion, been asked if no application of a similar na-
ture had been made by the British Government to
the Court of Lisbon respecting the coutinnanceof
the traffic in slaves. The question 'certainly was an
important one; fat without the'eoncurrence of Por-

tun- 1, that gave such encouragemeat to that traffic,
there could be little or no hope of its entire suppre4-
sion. It was gratifying to Jurn to retie& that such
an application had not been omitted ; but the Haase
would feel hew nice and delicate a matter it then

. •
Was to presiihe Portuguese GovernMent • to an im-
mediate decision, or to a disclosure of its sentiments
upon that, before tho4e of France, and the determina-
tion of •her Government upon it, had been fixed and
ascertained. This consideration prevented. the matter
froth being t4en pressed upon the Coutt of Lisbon:
But what then was an obstacle to a 'free and open
disclosure of.the sentiments of Portugal was now
wholly*removed: I4e was far, indeed, froth re-
joicing in the cause that removed it, but as it was a
cause not to • be resisted, he thought the necessity
might be now turned to advantage; and that as the'
Portuenese Government in the -Brazils was now be-
_
yond the influence and controul of France, it Might
• exert that independence in concurrence with the
British Governmeniin the laudable labour of ex
anguishing the Slave Trade. Such an opportunity
as now offered to that diet% was not; 'or would
not,- he trristed, be left unimproved by Ministers
.in their new negotiations• with the Prince of the
Brazils. If, instead of availing themselveS of the
present favourable circumstances, to follow up and

prosperity must depend upon an extension ot the
slave trade,. England would 'theft:llsre esholoying
her gold to maintain and-keep alive that trade, the
abolition of which had raised the most glorious mo-
nument to her honour.and justice thAt had ever
been reared to the fame and.charatter cif any pation,

industry, to,. Cultivate and.improVe the Dutch and
French' Cofonies when in our possession ; and the
-produce- of which has occasioned the glut in the
West In4l. market which, at preSent, so griebusly
oppresses our West India Proprietors. He.couldelot
too earnestly► recommend these considerations to the
serious attention of their Lordships.
Lord HAIVA.:ESBURY did not conceive there
was' any thing in the sill to excite all these serious
apprehensions. Its chief. objea was to
re6tly into this country what formerly was imported
.
through Portugal 5 and to withdraw the reStrieliOnS
that applied to coleniartrade, by allowing the Por-
tuguese to import-in their own. ships the proilu'ce of
their Own possessions. As to British capital, sueli
Was the enterprising spirit of the country, that it
Would find its way wherever there was a chalice a
its being advantageouily-empleyed ; -and this wits a
'spirit not easy to be, checked, and which, perhaps,
oeght not to be-checked. It was well known that
British capital foend its way-lento Cuba, even while
h.i possession elan enemy, and that it materielly con-,
trilrated to the improvernetit of that Aslanile.to
which he. thought he might fairly impute :the Cole-
mencement- of the difficulties 'which hive Since
Eiden, and now: bear so hard our bi:lfti West
India Colonies.' As. to the Slave Trade;•he did lint
see that the present 'Bill could have any tendency to
enlarge that trade.- With his opinion respeaing then
Abolition.of The Slave: Trade, arl.,' the 'reasons on
-which that measure was recommended, the FlObise
werenot unacquainted; but whatever might ba've
been his opinion at that period' with respea to the
merits of that measure, they had no longer any in-
fluence on• condua. The measure has passed
into a law ; and it was his, and the duty of every '
subject,/ to maintain and obey it. His colleagues,
he believed, were impressed with the same senti-
ments, and none of them would now think of cent:,
teracting • what had been so solemnlY sanctioned by
an Act of the Legialature.
The Bill was then read a setiond time, and -order-
ed to be coininitied to-enorrow.
