mons:—

1. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that imme-
diate and eff-ctual me +sures be taken for the entire aboli-
tion of s!avery throughout the Colonies, under such pro-
visions for regulating the condition of the Negroes, as may
combine their welfare with the interests of the Proprietors.
2. Mit it is expedient that all children born after the
passing of any Act, or who shall he under the age of six
years at the time of passing any Act of Parlilment for this
purpose, be declared free; subject nevertheless to such tem-
por .ry restrictions as may be deemed necessary for their
support and maintenance.
3. That all persons now slaves be entitled to be regis-
tered as apprenticed labourers, and to acquire thereby all
rights and privileges of treetnen ; subject to the restriction
of labout ing, under condithns and for a time to be fixed
by Parliament, for their present owners.
4. That to provide against the risk of loss which his
Majesty's colonial possessions might sustain by the aboli-
tion of slavery, his Majesty be enabled to advance by way
of loan, to be raised from time to time, a sum not exceed-
ing- in the whole 15,000,0001., to he repaid in such man-
ner and at such rate of interest as shall be prescribed by
Parliament.

5. That his Majesty be en,bled to defray any such ex-
pense be may incur in establishing an efficient stipendiary
magistracy in the colonies, and in aiding the local legisla-
tures in providing for the religious and moral education
of the Negro population to be emancipated.

No Secretary for Ireland has yet been ap-
pointed. Mr. SPRING RICE would, in all
probability, have accepted the office, if he had
not received positive assurances from Cambridge
that hip re-election for that place would be ex-
tremely doubtful ; and two other gentlemen who
were by turns in the eye of Earl GREY for the
vacant situation, entertained similar doubts of
re-election to those of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Ministers ought to take warning by
these indications of popular dissatisfaction, and
endeavour, by the adoption of a different course,
to regain the ground which they have lost ; for
unless they do so, they will find themselves, in
the event of a dissolution of Parliament, which
some circumstance independent of their own will,
may bring about, unable to regain their seats in the
House of Commons, and they will be compelled
to resign or to propose the adoption of a Bill for
enabling them to have seats, ex-eicio, without
the power of voting. The chief fault of the
present Ministers appears to have been a greater
reliance upon the House of Commons than upon
the people at large. The Irish Coercive Bill,
which they carried so triumphantly in the House,
was one of the most unpopular measures ever
introduced, and if they should lose their seats,

they will have to attribute the loss to that harsh
and unnecessary proceeding as much as to their
refusal to comply with the demand for the repeal
of thevHouse and Window Taxes. The late
affair in Cold Bath-fields has not increased their
already slender stock of popularity, but it is due
to them as a body to say, that they knew noth-
ing of the plan for dispersing the assemblage
(multitude would be an absurd word for a meet-
ing of about 300 or 400 idle persons), and that
Earl GREY has insisted on a rigid and impartial
inquiry into all the circumstances connected with
that melancholy transaction.

In another part of The Sun will be found
some particulars respecting Mr. KEAN, unques-
tionably the greatest actor that the English
stage has known since the days of GARRICK.
He has died at a fortunate moment for his fame,
for had he survived but two short years longer,
we question whether even his transcendent
genius would have been able to uphold the in-
terests of the drama, which now seems tottering
on the verge of extinction. A more favourite
actor never yet strutted and fretted his brief
hour upon the stage. He was popular even
to the last moment of his performance.
It is scarcely ten weeks since we saw him play
his well-known character of Shylock, and never
was Drury-lane fuller, or the audience more
unanimous in their expressions of applause.
But it was not mere applause that poor KEAN
elicited in his earlier days ; it was enthusiasm,
and of the most heart-felt character. He ruled
his audience as with a spell, His most
effective performance was Othello—his most
finished, Sir Giles Overreach. Both these
characters are now, of course, lost to the
stage, in the same way as Cato and Corio-
lanus perished with JOHN KEMBLE. Mr.
BULWER would establish high claims to
public gratitude, if, in addition to his laudable
exertions for supplying us with good dramas, he
could hit upon some lucky expedient for supply-
ing us also with good tragedians. Were it even
possible for another SHAKSPEARE to arise,, he
must necessarily drop to leeward, from the want
of another KEAN or KEMBLE to illustrate
him. MACREADY is our only hope, but even
he has many bad habits • to eradicate, before we
can recognise him as a legitimate expounder
of the feelings of human nature. Mr. KEAN'S
friends talk, we perceive, of endeavouring to
procure him the honours of interment in West-
minster Abbey. If GARRICK (which we
doubt) was worthy of this honour, KEAN is
still more so, for to greater genius, in the high-
est department of the art (though with less ver-
satility), he added a proud, honest, independent
spirit to which the dapper little toad eater of my
Lords Noodle and Doodle was an utter stranger.
We should scarcely have dreamed of advocating
the interment of an actor in a spot which should
hold the ashes only of men of the noblest intel-
lect, had not GARRICK'S case formed a prece-
dent to justify us.

The Paris papers contain some official docu-
ments relative to the accouchement of the
Duchess de BERRI. 13y these we are informed
that she is the lawful wife of Count LUCCHESI
PALLI (son of the Neapolitan Prince CAMPO
FRANCO), who has been for some time Neapo•
Titan Envoy at the Hague, and submits to the
order of affiliation on the consideration of
being paid down in hard cash °ay one
little million of francs ! Thus this delicate
embarrassment is got rid of; and with a
delicacy worthy of its character. Yet the va-
nity of the woman must be not a little
wounded when she hears that a petty Neapolitan
Count demands a million of francs for publicly
acknowledging himself her husband She would
naturally have thought that the honor of the
thing would have been quite sufficient recom-
pense. But Mr. PALLI is a shrewd fellow.
He prefers solid pudding to unsubstantial
honor. Mrs. PAW is, we understand, to be
liberated the instant her health permits of her
ramoval.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

HALF-PAST ONE.

Nothing has as yet transpired in respect to the die-
patches received from Holland this morning, but we have
seen a letter from Amsterdam to the following purport :-
44 We have no news from the Hague, but it appears that
the King of Holland is more pacific, and leans towards a
settlement of the Dutch question. The Funds come a
shade higher."
_ _

Extract of a letter from Mr. James Grant, one of the
principal settlers at Van Diemen's Land :—" The season
has been very unpropitious ; the winter has been long and
cold. I never knew such a continuance of frost and
damp ; the former cut up all the seed, and the scab has
made great havoc, so that front broken fleeces and diseases
of flocks by death, there will be a sensible falling off in the
quality of wool from Van Diemen's Land this season ;
added to this, an extensive system of sleep-stealing, so
that I am the loser of 1,000 head of sheep and lambs, of
last year. The season has also been very late."—Dated
Hobart Town, December 8.

On the arrival of the Dutch mail in the early part of
the morning we had very favourable reports in circula-
tion, but up to the present hour nothing official on the
subject has transpired. The private letter w, have seen
from Amsterdam represents that the King of Holland has
become more pacific.
Consols have continued during the whole of the morn-
ing at 87a for the Account, with little or nothing doing.
A letter from Boulogne states that 500 French troops
sailed on the sth instant to join Don Pedro; and we un-
derstand that to-morrow 600 English will sail from
Gravesend for the same destination.

In the Foreign Market there is little doing ; Dutch
Stock has rather improved.

that there has seldom been a finer prospect of abundance
of apples than the present state of the blossom affords.

intersect them at various points. The grand carriage_
drive and ride, in a line with Portland place, and which
will cross the outer circle of the park to the Zoological
Gardens, are already formed, and a considerable portion
of it gravelled, and avenues of trees on each side, extend.
ing the whole length of the way, are planted in a similar
.nanner to those in the mall in St. James's Park. The
archery ground opposite to York-terrace, is also proceed..
ing with all plssible despatch, and the ornamental piece of
water has been diverted from its original course to add to
the picturesque effect of the scene.
