SLAVERY.

Dr. LUSHINGTON presented the petition of a
famale slave, named Mary, in behalf of herself and
fellow slaves, praying for the abolition of slavery
throughout our Colonies in the West Indies.
Mr. HUME presented the petition of the bur-
gesses of the borough of Tralee, complaining of the
infraction of their rights and liberties, of the various
abuses practised in the borough, and concluding
with a complaint of a late undue election of a Mem-
ber to serve for the borough in the person of Mr.
Chas. Vernon Smith. The Hon. Member also pre-
sented a similar petition from the inhabitants of
Tralee.—The consideration of these petitions. wits
fixed for this day month.
PETITION OF A CONVICT.
Mr. HUME then presented a petition which he
said he should not have expected to have received
from a member of the legal profession, who could
hardly be supposed not to know that it was out of
the province of the House to interfere in a case such
as his. The petition was from Richard Radford
Roe, who had been convicted on subornation of per-
jury, and sentenced to seven years' transportirion.
He represented the prosecution to be the result of a
conspiracy against him, and prayed the House would
inquire into his case,
i and give time to him t, pro.
duce proofs of his innocence. The petition was
signed on board a convict ship in Dubin-bay, ready
to set out on her voyage to New South NVales. The
Home Secretary, he was happy to be able to ac-
knowledge, had pledged hinlscif to take the rive
into consideration.
Dr. LUSHINGTON opposed the practice of per.
milting persons legally tried and convicted before a
criminal Judge, to asperse their accusers and arraign
their

tion laid on the table.

SMUGGLING.
The latter lion. Member presented the petition
of Mrs. Bernard Ross, of Billiter-square, praying
for the repeal of the excessive duties of foreign spi-
rits, which i❑ some instances exceeded 9004 per
cent. on the article imported, and had the effect of
injuring every fair trader, and offering irresistible in.
ducements to the smuggler to evade the revenue and
" tan" the spirits clandestinely into this country,--
Laid on the table.

He then, after remarking that returns had been
made byte Bishops of England and Wales to the
King of the number of clergy, curates, as well as
others in their diocese, whether resident or other.
wise, from the year 1810 to 1815 inclusive, -moved
that similar :.eturns be made for the years since in-
terveniug.
Also returns of the number of churches and elm-
pels of ease of the Established Church, the number
of places of worship not connected with the Church
of England.

Also the numbi.,: of licensed curates, whether re-
sident or otherwise, with the amount of their salaries
according to the diocesan returns.—Ordered.
He gave also notice he should on Monday move
for a return of the number of Archdeacons of Eng-
land and Wales, distinguishing such as were reside;.lt
from non-resiclants.

ARMOURY IN THE TOWER.
Also a return of the gross amount of fees taken
for showing the Royal Armoury in the Tower of
London. These fees he had long considered a (4i-
grace to the Government. They had lately been
doubled in Colonel Stapleton's time, and amounted
to near 3,000/. a year. This was the only capital
in the world which had been subjected to so dis-
graceful an extortion.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, he would have no objection to such a return,
and the retuens were ordered for the years 18,11,
1820, and 1828.,
Mr. PROTHER:OE moved for ieturns calcu-
lated, as he expressed, his motion, to ascertain the

Session, bring before the House a motion relative to
a project for Elio better regulation and management.

•
of the labotning and poorer classes oF his NhijePty's
snbjects.

CHILDREN OF SLAVES.
Mr. OTWAN CAVE, on piesenting a petition
from Leicestershire, and after making a few obser-
vations on the illegality of enslaving British born sub-
jects, stated, that from what had come to his know-
ledge of the very strong feeling throughout the coun-
try In favour of the Resolutions which he had lately
the honour of submitting to the House, he felt it to
be his duty, in deference to that feeling, to perse-
vere in his efforts in again bringing forward that
measure, notwithstanding the unfavourable vote
which the House had come to upon it. He therefore
gave notice, that -early in the next Session, he would
renew his motion for the protection in their rights,
as British subjects, of all negro children born after a
certain thy within the Icing's dominions.
Mr. M. CHOLMONDELEY expressed his great
regret at not having been present when his Hon.
Friend's motion was brought forward, as he should
have been proud and happy to have given it his
humble support.
Colonel DAVIES gave notice, he should _next
Session draw the attention of the House to the sub-
ject of prison discipline and secondary classes of
punishment.
The House then went into Committee on Stork's
Divorc Bill. Evidence was heard at the bar of the
House. The report was ordered to be brought up
on Monday.
The House adjourned at ten minutes past Eight

NEW LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES'
BILL.

COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
On the assembling of the Committee yesterday afternoon,
Mr. JOY, as Counsel for the parishes of St. Magnus and
St. Margaret, which claimed compensation, withdrew his
opposition. If any alteration were made in the Bill, by
the introduction of any proposed new Clause in it, while
in that Committee, the Bill must be lost, and the under-
taking delayed. He had, therefore, consented to withdraw
from any further opposition, on a distinct understanding
that a new Bill would be introduced next Session, in
which there would be an opportunity given for the full
hesring of his clients, and the admission of whatever secu-
rities fur compensation they might prove themselves entitled
to. He consented because he considered that his clients
could sustain no injury from the delay.
The 3larquis of LONDONDERRY, in behalf of the other
parishes which were in a like situationnot the l --and although they
had not appeared by Counsel, were ess to
their Lordships' consideration--consented to waive further
opposition. He did so upon the same understanding as
that expressed by the Learned Counsel.
Mr. Ttroasiumr.., on behalf of the inhabitants of the
Ward of Bridge, cheerfully consented to hold over their
cause until the next igession, when he was sure, from the
patient attention which he had already received, they would
then receive from their Lordships the best consideration of
their ca,e—and that whatever they proved themselves en-
titled to would be cheerfully awarded to them.
The Duke of WELIINGTOIC, and several others of his
Majesty's Ministers, expressed their assent, and the parties
