cally stated, that the transaction was a bona fide one,
and that it was then fully expected that the quit

rents would be sufficient for the object.
Mr. HUME said, that they ought to consider
how far the Crown had a right to grant pensions
upon hopes, for there did not appear to have been
anything beyond in this case. He therefore thought
that 1,0001. ought to be postponed till an account of
the quit rents could be produced.
Mr. MABERLY withdrew his amendment.
➢Zr. HUME then moved that 1,0001. of the vote
should be postponed till the account of the quit rents
was forthcoming.
The Gallery was then cleared for a division—
For the amendment
Against it 126
Majority.
The next vote was 11,2611. for the expenses of
Newfoundland.
Mr. HUME wanted to know what was the
amount of the Customs collected in Newfoundland,.
stating the expenses of the collection, and the amount
remitted to England.
Sir G. MURRAY'S answer was inaudible,
owing to the confusion of the House.
The vote was then agreed to.
The next item was 10,1804 for the expenses of
Sierra Leone.
Mr. HUME said, that as he had a motion on this
subject for to-morrow, he should not say any thing
on the subject that night.—Agreed to.
The next item was. 3,301/. for the expenses of
Fernando Po.

Mr. HUME begged to ask whether the state-
ment respecting the unhealthiness of that colony
was correct

Sir G. MURRAY said that the reason for esta-
blishing the colony of Fernando Po was because it
was a better situation for intercepting ships engaged
in the Slave Trade, as it was more contiguous to
the parts whence the slaves were fetched.

The vote was then agreed to.
The next was a sum of 4,000/. for defraying the
expenses of the Establishment at Cape Coast Castle.
—Vote agreed to.
16,182/. to the Society for Propagating the Gos-
pel in certain of our Colonies.
Lord HOWICK considered this vote highly ob-
jectionable, not alone upon the ground of economy
—that ground be would not take up—but he ob-
jected to it, as the devotion of a large sum of the
public money to the maintenance of an exclusive
and a dominant church, especially in a country cir-
cumstanced as Canada was, where one-seventh of
the land was devoted to the maintenance of the
church establishment, and where that exclusive and
dominant church gave great dissatisfaction. be
concluded by proposing, that the proposed vote be
reduced to one half, namely, from 16,182/. to 8,091/.
Mr. GORDON complained in strong terms of
the exorbitancy of this grant, and after adverting to
the useless, and he would say mischievous, proceed-
ings of the Society and of the Ecclesiastical Board,
declared, that he thought the intervention of the
Society wholly unnecessary.
Sir GEORGE MURRAY contended that it
would be highly improper to leave the maintenance
of religion to mere chance in any newly settled co-
lony, especially in a colony chiefly settled by emi-
grants from the mother country. He was inclined
to think that every where the State derived strength
from the support of religion, and religion acquired
respectability in the eyes of the people by being
connected with the State. It was his opinion that
some support ought in future to be given to the
Dissenters; but for the present he hoped the vote
mightbe agreed to in the form in which it then stood.
Mr. HUNIE would support the amendment. He
was a decided enemy to all connections bet %veer'
Church and State.

Mr. W. HORTON supported the original vote.
Sir R. INGLIS said, that no country in the world
had made such a miserable provision for the esta-
blished religion of the country, as England in her
colonies. He supported the grant, and recommended
that liberal grants should be appropriated to the
support of the English Church in all the colonies.
Mr. LABOUCHERE thought, on the contrary,
that a country hich devoted the sixth part of the
soil to the support of the church had acted most
liberally. He was glad to hear the amendment pro-
posed, which he would cordially support.
Mr. O'CONNELL thought that no Government
had any right to dictate the religion of its subjects,
and therefore he should object to any measure which
went to encourage a particular religion.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said a few words in support
of the grant.
Mr. LABOUCIIERE and Sir R. INGLIS explained.
Mr. W. SMITH applauded the sentiments which
had fallen from the Right Hon. Secretary of State
for the Colonies. He wished for nothing more than
that those liberal sentiments should be carried into

effect.
Sir T.ACLAND said that the vote was deistined
to support a meritorious class of men, and thinking it
not too much, he should support the original motion.
Mr. J. STEWART should support the original
motion.

Mr. C. WOOD opposed the motion.
After a few words from Sir G. MURRAY, Mr.
PIIII.uPs, and Lord SANDON,
Lord 110 WICK attempted to address the House,
but the cries of " question," and other symptoms of
impatience, were so loud that his observations were
not audible in the gallery.
The Committee then divided,
For the Resolution
Against it 45 '
Majority --103
The next resolution, " That a sum of 47,500!. be
granted to pay for presents to American Indians,
and for the expences of maintaining liberated
Africans at Sierra Leone," was also agreed to.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed
of, and at a Quarter past Two this morning the
House adjourned.
