ELECT lON COMMITTEES.

(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.)
IPSWICH. .

The Committee struck off ti;;;;Ote of Mr. Notcutt, Town
Clerk, and Deputy 14fayor.
Mr. Kelly was now in a majority of one.
The Liberals then objected to the vote of a person whose
wife had received parochial relief.
The arguments were not finished when it was announced
that Mr. Speaker was at prayers.

most important question.—(Hear, hear.) I mean an Act
which goes to revive the slave trade on a large scale
--the Order in Council issued by her Majesty on (as we t
understood) the sth of July. The Noble and Learned Lord '
then gave notice that he should move for a Copy of any
despatch which had been sent out to the Governor of
Guiana touching the said order, and also the date when the
order appeared in the London Gazette. He had no hesitation in
stating that he expected that the return would Le nil, for be
believed tl.at the Order was never published in the Gazelle.
He had twice before urged the subject upon the consideration
of their Lordships, and therefore they could not now say that
they were taken unprepared. He had stated his reasons for
being most averse to it, and if the Order in Council
to which he alluded were in existence, nothing he
could foresee would prevent his taking the sense of the
House on the issue and expediency of recalling that Order.
The Duke of WELLINGTON hoped the Noble and
Learned Lord would postpone his motion, as he would not be
in town on the day he had named.
Lord BROUGHAM said there was no person where con-
venience, whether public or private, he would mere cheerfully

Whatever day the Noble Duke named he would readily as-
sent to.
The Duke of WELLINGTON named Friday week.
Lord G L ENE LG, as we understood, objected to so early
a day being named, as there were several documents to be
laid upon the table.
Lord BROUGHAM could see no objection to the slay
that had been named. The papers were merely Orders in
Council, and could not be very voluminous.
Lord GLENELG would observe, that with respect to the
last Order in Council, it had never been inserted in the Ga-
zette, and he would add that it had never been the habit to in-
sert these Orders.
Lord BROUGHAM—Then a worse habit in not inserting
those laws where the Crown was legislating fur a remote part
of the globe, without any knowledge of Parliament, he could
not possibly imagine. The consequence was, that 200 vessels
were employed in the slave-trade. Had he seen that Order in
the Gazette, be would immediately have brought the subject
under the consideration of their Lordships. His Noble Friend
was perfectly free from all blame, as he had merely followed
precedent ; but where the vast interests and properties of
persons in these colonies were so deeply concerned, it was
not too much to ask that these laws should be made public.
Lord ELLE NB ORO UG H would move for an account of
all the vessels which had been captured by British cruisers for
the violation of the regulation with respect to the slave trade ;
and he would beg to ask the Noble Baron (Glenelg) when
he intended to bring in his Bill for the purpose of carrying
into real operation the intentions of Parliament with respect
to the abolition of the Slave-trade, and he would ask him fur.
ther, whether it was his intention to bring the Bill into that
House or the other House in the first instance ?
Lord GLENELG replied, very shortly. It had not yet
been decided in which House the Bill should be introduced.
Lord ELLE NB ORO UG 1-1—" Very shortly" were awful
words in the vocabulary of the Noble Lord.—( Hear,
hear, hear.) It meant four months in dispatches which

of subject ? If it were brought into the other House of Par-
liament, from the quantity of business to be disposed of there,
it would come up at a time when all the mischief
had been done. He would give notice, in order to quicken
the production of the Bill, that if within a week the Bill was
not introduced, he (Lord B.) would present his Bill.
He was in possessien of the subject—his resolutions were
before the House—and he had withdrawn them to
give the Noble Lord an opportunity of bringing forward his
measure. If, however, he found that the Noble :Lord, in-
stead of taking up his resolutions, sent them to another place,
where he could neither trust to Lord John This, nor Mr. Spring
That—(Great laughter)—if he found that the Noble Lord
sent the resolutions among strangers, and for aught he (Lord
Brougham) knew, enemies—(Renewed laughter)—he would
take care of his resolutions and bring them in himself.
Lord GLENE L G observed that the resolutions had not
yet been two months before the House.
Lord BROUGHAM considered two months a long time
to prepare a Bill of that sort.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from
the prisoners in the Queen's Bench, praying for the abolition
of the punishment of imprisonment for debt.
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS' BILL.
-

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that he would
take that opportunity of stating that it had been his inten-
tion to give notice that he should move the second reading
of the Parliamentary Electors Bill in the course of next week;
but in consequence of the conversation that bad taken plaee
that evening, ho should not more the second reading till that
day fortnight.
