LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 90, 1850.

Detesting as we do from our innermost heart of
hearts, the abomination of slavery, nevertheless we
cannot but feel cruelly disappointed in the victory
achieved last evening by her MAJESTY'S Government.
England, it is true, has pledged herself—by the costly
magnanimity of twenty millions sterling—to the dis-
countenancing of that most hideous of all trades, the
traffic in men. Yet, pledged though she be to the
consistent pursuance of this humane course of
proceeding, we do protest against the no-
tion that to this end England is required
to squander thousands upon thousands annually
upon a supplementary project of generosity, which
has proved to be altogether useless—a
experience
project, moreover, which, while effecting no com-
pensative benefit, enervates our mariti:ne energies,
and decimates our gallant seamen, besides, as we have
already intimated, lavishing no less an amount yearly
than one million of the national income.
Recognising the intolerable nature of this grievance,
a grievance, be it observed, rendered doubly
irksome and onerous from its occurring at a
period when financial retrenchment proves to be re.
quisite for the welfare of the empire—the Liberal
reptesentativea in the Commons House of Parliament
were nevertheless compelled, in spite of their own
conscientious convictions, to vote in direct support
of a system which in their souls they abhorred, com-
pelled, be it said, to the shame of British statesman-
ship, compelled to this violation of their belief by the
ungenerous intimidation of her MAJESTY'S Minis-
terial advisers. Under all circumstances the number
of Cabinet questions is sufficiently large; but, if the
Folisy selonted yesterday forenoon by the Prime
Minister be regarded henceforth as a precedent by
himself and his successors, that number will he liable
to a perpetual and incalculable enhancement. The
legislatiro supporters of the Government, ac-
cording to this plan, would be subject to the inter-
minable dominction of the First Lord of the Trea-
sury. Threatened with the resignation of the Cabi-
net;they would be compelled to obey the injunctions
of the Premier upon every subject that in his petu-
lance or dogmatism he might choose to designate a
Ministerial question. Anything more tyrannous
than ' this mode of proceeding we cannot
conceive, anything more subversive of good
legislation, anything more detrimental to the
character and repute of the popular branch of the
Parliament.. It is as if the science of statemanship,
Ancl the philosophy of political administration were

PIRATES.

On the motion of Mr. HUME. returns were ordered
of the names and tonnage of any British vessels, with
the names of their respective Commanders, and f the
names of any British subjects that have been either
captured, attacked, plundered, or in any way molested,
by either Malay or Dyak pirates, on the coast of Borneo,
or elsewhere, from the 15th day of August, 1839, to the
15th day of August, 1849, inclusive; specifying date and
place of each case of such capture, attack, plunder, or
molestation.

On the motion of Mr. WOOD, Mr. Ilerries was added
to the Select Committee on oaths of Members, in the
place of Mr. Disraeli.
The reports of the resolutions upon the Stamp Duties
and Drainage Advances were brought up, and leave
given to bring in Bills founded thereon.
The Factories Bill was read the second time.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'clock.

Mr. Loch had an interview with Earl Granville

COTTON SEED.—Some little time since an impor-
tation took place from one of the ports of the United
States of America cf a small quantity of cotton-seed,
which was noticed on account of its being a novel ar-
ticle of importation from abroad. A vessel, now arrived
from New Orleans with a cargo of cotton and American
provisions, has brought 34 casks of the cotton-seed, and
this importation being of so much greater extent, and
tending to prove the continuance of importations of this
important description of seed, is, for whatever purpose
it may be intended to serve, of more than ordinary
interest.

just come under my observation in which the efficacy of your
Ointment and Pills has been fully proved. A man of the
name of Joshua Smith had upwards of twenty ulcers on his
shins, which were so difficult to cure that almost every remedy
had been applied without any good effect. Your Pills and

was completely cured, and scarcely a mark is now to be seen,—

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS _DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-1V EDNESDAY
Our market today was very scantily supplied with all
kinds of English Wheat, the arrivals of which coast-
wise since Saturday have been confined to 770 quarters.
As the attendance of both town and country buyers was
limited, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pro-
duce was inactive, yet the factors were firm, and would
not sell except at fully Monday's prices. The imports
of foreign Wheat have not exceeded 1,140 quarters.
Fine parcels of both red and white sold at fall rates of
currency. In the midaling and inferior kinds exceed-
ingly little was doing. The sale fur Barley was slow in
the extreme, but we have no change to notice in the
value of that grain. All descriptions of Malt moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices. Oats, the supply of
which was but moderate, sold to a fair extent, at Mon-
day's figures. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Flour were
much neglected.

Primary elections for the First Chamber of Prussia
took place a few days ago, and though a great num-
ber of electors voted, the result was favourable to the
moderate liberal party.
The Criminal Court! of Brandenburg has con-
demned the burgomaster of Spandau, on being de-
clared guilty by a jury, to twelve years' imprison-
ment in a fortress, and to the loss of the right of
wearing the Prussian cockade, for having taken part
in the German Parliament at Stuttgardt.
The Chamber of Deputies of Electoral Hesse, on
the 15th, rejected a demand of the Government for
an extraoi dinary credit for the military service. The
Chamber, however, rejected by 24 votes to 16, a pro-
position for refusing all co-operation to the Ministry.
After these votes, M. Hassenpflug, the President of
the Council of Ministers, presented a decree of the
Elector, proroguing the Chambers.
The Saxon Government has commuted the sentence
of death, passed on soldiers for participation in the in-
surrection of May, into twenty years' imprisonment.
The Chamber of Deputies of Brunswick, in a re-

convention between the Government and Prussia.
The Austrian authorities in Vienna are promoting,
by every means in their power, the circulation of a
pamphlet recently published, entitled the " Prophet
and Anti-Christ. In this blasphemous production
the Prophet is represented as having held conversa-

Guard, and of the revolution of Vienna, and he
learns from them that the constitution is contrary to
religion, and that no one in the enjoyment of liberty
can ever enter heaven.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
We find the following in the Asseinklge Nationale:
—" We have received an important communication,
according to which:the question of Schleswig-Holstei❑
is likely to undergo a new phase. The Cabinet of Ber-
lin is said to have made propositions of a nature to re-
move all idea of a conflagration. The following is said
to be a summary of these propositions : Institution of
a new council of administration, which is to be com-
posed partly of Schleswicgers,: and partly of Hol-
steiners, presided over by Prince Ferdinand, the heir
presumptive to the Crown of Denmark. This appears
to be a good arrangement; up to the present time
this Prince has remained completely aloof from the
movements of the two duchies, and the decision which
he may come to gives a seal of impartiality to the
affair."

put in, which had contained a post-office order for 5!.
The plaintiff's attorney said, that to prevent all doubt,
he would prove that orders had been received, and in
defendant's name; that the goods were sent according to
the direction, and that the order was received in due
course, and there had been many applications for pay-
ment. This would, no doubt, be tantamount to proof of
the hand-writing.
A verdict was given for the amount.

SURREY SESSIONS,-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Tnomes BUCKLE, Esq., and a bench of Magis-

trates.)
Them sessions commenced this morning at the Ses-
sion-house,. Newington causeway. The calendar con-
tained the names of 102 prisoners for trial. The grand
jury, having been sworn, sere addressed by the Chair-
man. He said that, inasmuch as a vast number of pri-
soners were sent for trial at the sessions, rather than the
ensuing assizes for the county, such a proceeding
would Le a saving of 1,0001. to the county, and he was
sure they must feel happy that such an expenditure had
been saved. The crimes of the calendar were of the
usual kind tried at these sessions, and he had only to
remind them to be careful in finding the bills presented
to them ; and should they not be satisfied with the
statement of the witnesses at the back of the bills, ho
should recommend them to apply to the Court fur the
depositions taken before the magistrate.
James Hecock, 13, for picking pockets at the Brighton
Railway terminus, was sentenced to two months' impri-
sonment, and to be once whipped.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

With much regret we have to record the death of
Mr. Amedroz, the late chief clerk of the Admiralty,
which took place at his residence on Monday after-
noon. This gentleman, whose health had long been
failing, retired from office about a year since, after
an unusually long period of half a century's service.
He was a man of the strictest integrity, and a most
valuable public servant, particularly so during the
war, being very useful in the military and political
department of the Admiralty, over which, for many
years prior to his becoming chief clerk, he had the
control. Mr. Amedroz was universally respected by
the Lords and Secretaries of the Admiralty under
whom ho served, for his honourable, upright cha-
racter, and no less so by his colleagues in office. Mr.
Amedroz bad a pension of 1,0001. per annum.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—We are requested to
state that the Lords of the Admiralty have under
their consideration the propriety of subscribing to-
ward the funds for establishing a sailors' home in this
port.
The " rot" has got into the Monarch, 84, at Sheer-
ness, which, it is expected, will prevent her commis-
sion. A survey was held on Friday by Rear-Admiral
Berkeley, M.P., C.B. ; Captain Sir Baldwin Walker,
Surveyor of the Navy; and the Master Shipwright
of Sheerness Dockyard.
The Niger steam-sloop, of the reserve squadron,
has been removed from the jetty to the sea basin to-
day, preparatory to being docked to have her waste
steam-pipes and bottom examined.
The Lily, 12, Commander Bedford, hauled off
from the dockyard into the stream this afternoon.
She will be ready for sea by the 30th.

HEALTH OF TOWNS (IRELAND) BILL.

Mr. GROGAN was anxious to ask the secretary for
Ireland a question of some importance to that country.
Last session the Right Honourable Gentleman brought
forward a Health of Towns' Bill for Ireland, acd he
wishel to know whether it was the intention .of the
Right Hon. Gentleman to re-introduce that Bill?
Sir WM. SOMERVILLE said he did intend to re-
introduce such a measure, but he was afraid he should
not be able to do so till after Easter. It would not be
precisely the same Bill of last year.
JUDGES' SALARIES.
Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know when the second
reading tf the Bill for regulating the salaries of the
judges of the Queen's Bench and Common Etas would
be taken ?

Lord J. RUSSELL replid on Monday next.
THE CHURCH IN AUSTRALIA.

Mr. GLADSTONE had notice on this subject on th.
paper, but he would rather see it in the hands of the Go-
vernment, and he therefore wished to ask the First
Minister of the Crown, whether her Majesty's Govern-
ment were willing to make provision in the Australian
Colonies Government Bill for the application of the prin-
ciple of local self-government to the affairs of the
Church of England in those colonies, by declaring the,
it shall be lawful for the bishops, clergy, and lay mem-
bers' of that church to establish regulations on the foot-
ing of consent among themselves, and subject to any
restraints which may be thought necessary for the ma-
nagement of those affairs?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to decline
taking the matter out of the hands of the Right Hon.
Gentleman.

presented a petition from the inhabitants of Kingston,
Jamaica, signed by 5,000 yersons, praying the House
not to consent to the removal of the African squadron.
The Noble and Learned Lord took occasion to denounce
those who having learned only the A B C of the subject,
contended that the best way to do away with the sieve
trade was to let it alone. He also ridiculed those who
would not shed the precious blood (f a pirate to prevent
murder, and related a conversation which he had had
with a certain friend, " Joseph," who had declared that
if ho saw a mr.n about to set fire to a train of gunpowder
which, when it exploded, would blow up all his relations
and friendP, he should not venture to commit a common
assault and battery in order to prevent it. Be also ve-
hemently attacked those economists who, to save a pound
sterling, would diminish the force of that squadron which
had done so much, as had been proved by Captain
Denman. to put down the slave trade.

BOWTSTREET-(THIS DAY.)

A respectably dressed young man, named Henry Far-
ren, was charged with taking indecent liberties with
another young man, who bad the appearance of a
"gent.," and who described himself as William Clayton,
a pianoforte-key-maker, residing in Alkert-street, Tot-
tenham-court-road.

The complainant stated, that about one o'clock this
morning he met the prisoner at a coffee-house in Totten-
ham-court-road. He bad never teen him tefore; but a
banjo player came to the door, and the prisoner entered
into eunversation with him upon the vagabond life which
that class of persons generally led. He agreed with the
prisoner, because he had more than once been victimised
by some of the fraternity, and told him if he valued
his reputation, or lad any regard for the safety
of his pocket, he would upon all occasions avoid
them. The prisoner thanked him for this ad-
vice, and then eommenced the filthy behaviour
which had led to the charge. He left the cofl'e::•houre,
telling the prisoner that he was going home, and men-
tioning that he lived in Albert-street, just above. The
prisoner said he was going that way and would accom•
pany him, and on the way the prisoner repeat3d his
indecencies. At length be reached his door when the
prisoner put his arm round his neck, and having kissed
him, he exclaimed "1 am so glad I met you, I do like
you se." Not content with that the prisoner wished to
go into the house, but he put him off by saying he
would walk a little way with him, and when he came up
with a policeman he gave him into custody. They were
both sober.

The prisoner who represented himself to be a marble-
mason, living in Collonade-street, Russell-square, said
the charge was a fabrication from beginning to end. It
was true that he mot the prisoner in the coffee-house,
but he explained that the reason of his being out so late
was that he had been to see a young woman, to whom
he was paying his addresses, home to Augustus-street,
Regent's-park. It was the complainant, he added, who
began the conversation about the banjo players, telling
him that he had often been victimised by some of them,
and that on one cccasion he spent as much as two
guineas with a banjo professor at Baron Nicholson's
Judge and Jury Society.
The complainant admitted that he did make that
statement, and it was perfectly true.
The prisoner observed that the complainant had plenty
of opportunities to give him into custody before they
came up with the policeman, and declared that just be-
fore giving him into custody the complainant invited him
to a concert on Thursday night.
Zar. HENRY said the fact of being in a low coffee-
house at one o'clock in the morning reflected no credit
upon either party. The case had gone too far to allow it
to be summarily disposed of at this stage, as the charac-
ters of both were at stake. He should, therefore, re-
mand the case, in order to give the police time to ascer-
tain who and what they were.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded.

OFFICERS.

Sir B. HALL wished to ask the Right Honourable
Gentleman the President of the Poor-law Board if it was
his intention to bring in any measure this session for
establishing a superanoution fund for poor-law officers,
and if so, whether this fund would be raised by a charge
on the poor rates, or a per ceutage on the salaries of
the officers themselves?

Mr. BAINES said the subject had been very much
pressed upon the attention of the Poor-law Board, and
it had been some time under their consideration. A
Bill, too, had been prepared on the subject founded on
the principle of raising a fund by a per tentage on the sa-
laries, but he was afraid he should not be able to intro•
duce it till after Easter.
