At the Congregation on Wednesday last, a grace unanimous-
ly passed the Senate, to petition both Houses of Parliament in
favour of measures for the gradual extinction of slavery in the
West Indies. The following is a copy of the petition to the
House of Lords :

To the Right lion. the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parlia-
nient assembled.
The humble petition of the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars
of the University of Cambridge—
Sheweth,
That your petitioners are deeply convinced that the perma-
nent existence ofslavery is inconsistent with the principles of
British Legislation, of sound policy, and of justice, and con-
trary to the feelings of humanity and to the spirit of the Chris.
tian religion.,
That your petitioners have learnt with regret that, during the
16 years which have elapsed since the abolition of the Slave
Trade, no effectual measures have been taken btthe Colonial
Legislators in the West Indies, directed either to the gradual
termination of slavery, and the preparing of the unfortunate
subjects of it for freedom ; or even to the mitigating of their
wretched condition.

That your petitioners humbly submit to your "ordships,
whether a reasonable hope can be entertained of any improve-
ment in'the condition of slaves under a system where arbitrary
and debasing corporal punishments are the only stimulus to
exertion, where enfranchisement is so greatly discouraged,
where marriage is unfrequent, and where religious instruc-
tion and the duties of the Sabbath are nearly altogether pre.
eluded.

That your petitioners, impressed with the liveliest feelings of
gratitude for the legislative enactments already passed, cannot
forbear expressing to your Right Honourable House their
earnest hopes that you will take the evils of slavery into your
most serious consideration ; and they humbly pray that you
will devise and enact such measures us in your wisdom may
seem fit, not only to • enforce (by further provisions if neces-
sary) the preverition of the fresh importation of slaves, but to
mitigate the state of slavery itself, whilst it is allowed to con-
tinue; and eventually to produce its final and complete termi-
nation. _ _

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.
