HOUSE OF LORD3.—(This Evening.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took hie seat on the Woolsack
at five o'clock.

TEIE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE

In answer to a question from the Latin CHANCELLOR,
Lord BROUGHAM said be had not the slightest ob-
jection to postpone his motion respecting the African
Slave Trade until to-morrow for the convenience of the
noble earl the Sec-etary of State for Foreign Affairs. He
should frame his motion as little offensive to the Em-
peror of the French as possible.
The Elrl of CLARENDOg trusted that a longer
postponement than to-morrow would be arranged, as
her Maje-ty's Government had not yet had time to con-
sider the terms of the motion. At the same time he
assure! the noble lord that he felt the importance of the
subject, and that it should be discussed at the earliest
peri d.
Lord BROUGHAM regretted he could wit consent
to postpone his motion further than to-morrow evening.
TRANSPORT OF TROOPS.
The Earl of ELLENBORGUR called the attention
of their lordships to the very great importance of tran-
smitting troops at the earliest period possible to
India, and referred to the rate of exchange,
which would have an important bearing on the expendi-
ture that would be created by the transmission of troops.
The freight money was, it appeared, to be paid
iu Calcutta, and from what he knew of the Trea
sury at that place, it would be utterly unable to
meet the expense incurred. It was a very important
subject, an I not. a Diemen,- ought to be lost by the Go-
vernment in communicating with the East India Board,
with a view of averting the impending evil.
Earl GRANVILLE said the subject, without doubt,
was a most important one, and measures had been
taken to prevent the difficulty apprehended by the noble
lord.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he had been
in conatnunicat,on with a great number of gentlemen
connected alto India, and he had never met one who
had not a thorough distrust of the gonletnan at
the head of the Board of Control. (Mach langhttr.)
