Tliouglt he felt thus, yet he thouplut, I fore
course was had to positive filtactment on the
feet by the British Parliament, the effect 'of' strong
recommendation to the•Joettifiegidutnres shooht
tried ; and that it was not until local measures had
failcki that the Imperial Parliament should inter-,
pose with o strong hand. His Lordship then c%-
patiated with great force upon the beneficial conse-
quences that woad• result front introdneing a system
of moral and reli;;ious instruction e',:nong theblark
ifeople of the Islands; btit more particularly a,tnoog
the latter, anti is !dell religious instruction, he
thought', should be tlie system which the plant ets,
their masters, professed. After glsncing slightly

of the Missionaries of Sectarian Christians, lie
expressed his opinion the subject was worthy the
'Berioas and immediate attention of the Esta-
blished Church, which, he ratheK feared, was not
sufficiently active ou the occasion. Ile anti'd-

been said, tie itedlarctt his opinion that gross miss
calculation or exaggerations had prevailed on that
stibjeet,, as in hi's conviction the practiae did not
obtain, or at knit not to any eitent worthy of se-
lion.; consideration. After expatiating more or
less on these kitting, topics of his genertil tuthject,
the 'Noble Lord concluded by moving al) AVICIECti3
Pt the' rehtee Regent, nearly similar to that pro.
posed lately in„ at ball eed to by the other noose

End BAT !Mule a few observations on the
subject, butt trot in opposition to the Noble Lord's
nfotion. He stated that it appeared the evils were
lair entirely cooffned to Barbadoes, hut in some
degree a spirit...or the kind had manifested itself in
ocher tsrands: The di tittballcts et'er•e,rittenibeti in
Bitrbadoes with a groat lads of property. Iu
some degree this unhappy disposition, he
th,,00t,, was owing to the cause adverted to
by the Noble Lord, and he seemed of opi-
nloo that remedial nieasusures had better be
tried op the port of the Colimial Governments, 19-
