the notice which he had given, as no practical
good was likely to result front his motion, and it
woidaionly serve to break op the unapiimity which
had lately prevailed on the important subject of
the colonies. The itifortnettion for which it 'was
his intention to move, could be.fornished by Par-
liament, and with' respect to the ‘Vesleyan
thodists, instead of any imputation having been
thrown upon them, it inid been • acknowledged,
that both they and the Mora% imis !lad dOne great
service in the West Indies. On these•grounds lie.

bringing his motion before the House:
Mr. BLlT,TEnwoirn haul .no wish to obtrude
himself upon the House'. As he belonged to •the
Committee which directed the Wesleyan Mis§ions
to the Colonies; he bad thought it his dAty, on
account of the reports in circidation, to take up
their cause. But as the Noble Lord,declared that
tto imputation had been cast upon the bony of tits
IVesleyans, he should certaitilysnot 'trespass any"
longer on the,time of, the House.
Mr. HARnAm
.suid that he had not matte any
complaint against ihat.particular class of Metho-
dists, to which, he understood, the Hon. Gentle-

in general calling tHeMSeI yes MEthodisls,
The AHCEL Lott of the EXCHEGLU ER bad the
testimony of a person connected with the Gover-
nor of the Leeward Islands, stating that the
greatest good had been produced by. the kVetley-
aus and Moravians in those colonies.
Mr. BUTTERWoRTH then withdrew his .motion.

an improper, prejudice by going forth to the world
unanswered. _ _ ,

The SPEAKER here interposed, by' observing,
that the Hon, Mcinber (Mr. Wilberforce) having
withdrawn his motion, in consequence of which,
many Gentlemen had left the Houst, _it was not
consistent with order that be should enter into the
same train of arguments, as if the questiou.was
undergoing discussion.

minus in reply.

in the opinioll titAiVereti from the Chair, the best
way to terminate the discussion tvonld lie by mot,-
ing that the !louse he Counted out, which was
done accordingly ; whets there not being forty
Members present, an adjournment till I.l.londay
took plaice..
