Lord MI LION said this was the first opportunity he had had
to express his coincidence in the views of his Majesty's Government
with respect to the adoption of a tree trade. Though disposed to go
i-great way to heal any alarm in this branch of the woollen trade,
yet he believed these manufacturing interests were ale very persons
most interested in doing away with the restrictions on trade gene-
rally. With such intelligence skill, industry, and superiority in ma-
chinery as they possessed, all obstacles to their success must be
merely temporary. Connected weir was with multitudes engaged
lts that trade, he felt it was his duty openly to avow his sentiments
on so very important a subject as that of an approximation, as
speedily as was consistent with safety, to the principles of a general
tree trade.—The Petition was after a few observations front Mr.
S. WORTLEY, laid on the table.
SLAVE TRADE PIRACY DILL.
Mr. Secretary CANNING apologised to the !louse for
his anxiety on the subject of this Bill; but lie though:that,
consiJering Oleic was great danger in procrastinating
a measure such as this, lest the season in Ali ic s and
4lnierica s!,ould be lost beloie the Bill was brought
into :tells ity ; and it being :in object to send the Bill as
soon as poss,ble to the Lords, he hoped the House
would excuse his pressing its immediate considesation.
After a shoat pause, he proceeded to state, that he had,
on this occasion, to regret the absence of the Honour-
able Moniker Bramber, through indisposition. lie
had, however, received a letter limn him, stating, in ra
very measured plirase,his satisfaction and triumph at the
success of a meAsure, which ire could not help consi-
dering as the ilearea, and closest, and most important
step the House Lad ) et taken towards the completion
of that great object—the Abolition of African Slavery.
He had aheady so tcdiv stated his. views of the neces •
sity and advantages of .the measure as the most effec-
tual way to prevent the recurrence of this crime against
humanity, that on the present occasion lie should not
trespass on their time further than by moving the thud
reading of the Slave Trade Piracy Bill.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH expressed his un-
bounded satisfaction at finding that. at length the cha-
racter of this crime of traffic in human beings had been
designated as it ought to be; and instead of being treated
as a moral crime only, it was created a felony punish-
able by the severest infliction of the 14w. He recollected

a time when the merchants of this country had avowed
themselves the friends of this traffic, as a fair and ho-
nourable trade for the purposes of gain ; that gallant
Admirals of the Navy had applauded the exercise of
the traffic as the source of our colonial sttength, and
the value of our West Indian possessions; and that even
from the pulpit some had the audacity to applaud the
Slave trade, as a means of bringing the miserable,
African from the horrors of his native clime to the
blessings of an American Paradise. He had not. yet
forgotten the memorable circumstance of a gallant
Captain in the British Navy, who was so taken with
the condition of these unhappy men, that he had here
avowed openly his regret that he had not been him-
self an African slave !—(A laugh).- . He recollected- the
too lasting triumph of a set of political incendiaries
leagued with religious enthusiasts, and was happy to
find all hopes of their future successes were cut off at
once, by the resolution of Government to co-operate in
putting down till, abhorred traffic altogether. The
great crime of man-stealiog had been without any pro-
portionate punishment until the attention "of the house
was drawn to it by his Honourable Friend the Member
for Winchelsea (Mr. Brougham), who with that energy
which was peculiar to himself, and which gave leisure
to every pursuit, had the honour first to rank that of-
fence as a moral crime. To those measures the Bill on
the table had given the finishing stroke. He was most
happy in thinking that it was through the One: ven,tiou
and union of the two British nations on different sides
of the Atlantic, this great object was accomplished,
who though they had divided their course in the enno-
bling pursuit of liberty, yet proved themselves worthy
of a common might in British blood, by the zeal which
they had shewn in the cause of humanity. Anierica
was the first to declare the trade piracy, and he hoped
the step now taken by Eagland would be a further
cause of friendship and union between them. As the
ptople of America inherited that skill in naval affairs,
by which their ancestors were distinguished, :rod were
in the highest degree jealous of their Inas kiln.... honour,
he was glad that they were the first to come forward
upon this occasion, and to sacrifice to the caase of hu-
manity any jealousy they might have felt. Ile would
not delay the house further at pre.eor, understanding
that it was desirable the Bill should be sent before the
Lords as soon as possible.
On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, a clause
was added to the Bill, to provide against its repeal by
any Acts that might pass in the present Session.—The
Bill was then passed.
compEasaTtom TO OFFICERS. •
The ATTORNEY-LiENERAh moved the Order of
the Day for going into a Committee on the Compen-
sation to Officers for losses in consequence of the County
Courts Bill.—The SPEAKER having left the Chair,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not rise
for the purpose of proposing any alteration in the Bill.
Ile would not deny that it was calculated to be of pub-
lic benefit : it was, however, a principle always ob-
served when measures of this kind were introduced, not
to confer the benefit at the expense of individuals. Ac-
cording to established rule, offices connected with the
admimstration of justice were not saleable. in the Acts.
however, establishing this rule, exceptions had been in-
troduced. In an Act of Henry VI. exceptions were ia-
troilneed with respect to certain offices in the• Courts of
King's Bench and Common Pleas. Since that time the
offices thud excepted were regularly sold. In another
Act passed on this subject in 1809, allusion was made,
to the Act of Henry VI. The Finance Committee of
1818, in their Report, recognised the exceptions .made
in these Acts. Speaking olthe salaries of tl:e Judges of
the different Courts, the reason they assigned for that of
the Chief Justice of the King's Bench not having been
increased was, that there weir offices the Court, from
the sale of which considerabla emolument might ba. de-
rived. That of the Chief Clerk, worth about 1:7,01D,
a year, was the principal. The late Chiri Justice gave
it to his son ; and so confident was he that it coola riot I
be interfered with, that it was the chief part of tine pa-
trimony left to the Noble Lord (Edenborough). Sorely
if the present measure must have the effect of diminish-
ing the legal emoluments of the office, it would be con.
tiary to every principle of justice to pass it without ade-
till 4C compensation. The Prothonotaties of the Court
of Common Pleas came under the same denomination.
They were always sold by the Clnief Justice for the time
being. L'iO,tXX) was considered the value of the office.
It was by no means a sinecure: they who filled it were
obliged to find clerks, and, to attend themselves to the
business. Anna facie, it might appear an evil to have
such offices saleable; but ins practice it was not so. From
his own observation, she could say that the duties were
discharged with as Much fidelity and diligence as if
they were offices that could not be sold. 1 he. e offices
being freehold, and they who held them being assessed
to the Land Tax, upon that ground he claimed com-
pensation. He claimed compensation in like manner fon
the Secoadaries, who purchased their places. Ile also
claimed compensation for the Clerks of the Plea Side of
the Exchequer—for the officer called tine Sitior Attor-
ney, the Secondary, and I:tracer, and for the Prothonu.
caries of tire Court of Great' Session of Wales. He
claimed this compensation on the ground that the pro-
posed measure would have the effectll diminishing the
number of wr its by one-fourth, and thereby materially
affect the of those officers. Front the best
informatics's he could collect, the income of the Chief
Cler k of the King's Bench would be diminished by a
sum not less than 1:1,500 a year if the Bill passed. It
it was for the public odvantage that changes should be
introduced, having an effect so injurious to individstals,
it was but justice that some compensation sbould. be
made. The sum;nece:sary for accomplishing this Oft,
ject would not exceed five or six thousand pounds a
year. The principle on which he rested this applica-
tion was never opposed by Committees of that House.—
On the contrary it was invariably supported. The Fi-
nance Committee of 1796 laid it down that in such
cases the public were bound in justice to make compen-
sation. It should be remembered that all those officers,
atter the diminution of their income, would still be
;bound to keep up the same estahli.liment of clerks as
before. In 174:0 the same principle was laid down by
the Commissioners who vv-ere appointed to inquire into
the Courts, and their Report was signed by Lord Hard-
wicke. Ile would put a case to the House. It might
be desirable to get rid of the fees now 'Sayable on the
transfer of freehold property. But would it be just to
pass a measure to that effect, without making some com-
pensation to the Lords of Manors? All property de-
leaded on law, and the species of property affected by
this Bill as much as any other property. The next
question to be considered was, how the House had acted.
upon similar occasions? They had uniformly allowed
compensation. In the reign of William 111. there was
a striking instance of it. The writ Capias pro Fide was
then in existence, but a statute passed to abolish it.

This, however, was not done without compensation to
those who might suffer, and, in fiat, the fee was paid
nnw though the writ (lid not exist. In 1803, when a ,
Bill was introduced to alter the practice of the Court of
Exchequer in Ireland, there was a clause to indemnify'
those whose interests might be affected. There was one
remarkable case, that of the Court of Requests of
Southwark. When it was proposed to extend the juris-
diction of this Court to debts of 51. the four Counsel of
the Palace Couft,who purchased their situations, thought
their emoluments would be affected by the measure, and
they received in compensation for any loss they might
sustain, 501. a year each. This was not a private but a
public act. The same principle was acted upon with
respect to Lord William Bentiock, and another Noble
Lord who held a place in the Court of Common Pleas
in It eland. It v. as also recognised last year. In the
Bill passed for regulating the fees in the Court of King'
Bench and Common Pleas, the Judges were authorized
to inqui;a: into the cases of those whom they might think
deserving of compensation, and report on the same. The
1104(mi:dile and Learned Gentleman recapitulated his
argements, and concluded by moving a Resolution, the
object of which was to grant compensation from the
Consolidated Fund, for any deficiency of fees that might
wise in vmsequence of any Act of the present Session,
to the followirs officers :—the Chief Clerk of the King's
Bench, the Clerk of the Rules and the Clerk of the
Papers, the Prcthoit ies and Secondaries of the Court
of Common Plea., the Senior Attorney, the Prothono-
tary and Filacer of the Plea Side of the Court of Exche-
quer, and the pre,ent Prothonotary of the Court of
(;;eat Session in Wales.

Lod urtioit P wished he could agree to this pro-
position, because, by so doing, he should secure the suc-
cess of Its Biil ; whilst, by opposing it, he was aware
he eu..langered it. But he felt that it was his duty, arid
the duty of the Hou,e, to look with jealousy to every
attempt at extending this system of compensation. The
Honoutabie and Leirned Gentleman had cited a prece-
dent kir compensation in the case of the Counsel of the
Marshalsea ; but this precedent would not serve bim,
for this compelisation was not given by the Public, but
was paid to them by the officers of the Court of Requests.:
lie was aware that if she Public took a man's land for
the public good, the Public gave compensation ; but no
one ever heard of compensation being given because,
by the adoption of a public Measure, the value of a
man's land might be deteriorated. Wbo ever, he would
ask, had heard that the innkeeper, whose house might
be injured by the turning of a road, was consided as
entitled to compensation? If such a doctrine at •that
now cor.ten led for was adopted, he believed Gentlemen
wonl4, be vet) c ireful how they proposed tueuures of
relm m or ifiiprovement ulich we: e to burtben the Pub-

lac t ith suc:l-a tax• in the shape of lie
should move as an amendment,. a 1te5014116011, expressing
that no else exi,ted in-mhich the house had given com-
pensation for life interests resembling those now under
consideration. 'Tae amendment having been put,
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR spoke in favour of the Resolu-
tion. Parliament never took away patent places with-
out c..nnpensation. fie 'tumid be sorry if they risked
the loss of s' beneficial a measure for 50001.

Sir G. ROSE•supported the Resolution. He must

the game time confess that .the object of the Bill was
most laudable. h was highly honourable to a person
of the Noble Lord's rank to clevote himself to objectsol
so much public utility. It was ear to give way to the
impulse of eloquence when the power existed ; but it
was not easy to resist all the seductions of wealth and
high station for the purpose of istrending to the business
of the House.

Mr. LITTLETON said he regretted the Noble Lord
did not comply with the Resolution. Ile had some ate-
coaintance with the case of the Noble Lord. who held
me place Chief Clerk of- the King's Bench, and he
must say that the greatest injustice would be chrne him
if compensation should be ref used. The late Chief.ius-
tice, Lord EllCTlbOrollgil, was so irnprelsed with the sa-
credness of the office,• and so confident that nothing
would he done to diminish the emolument of it, that he
left little more to his son. The case of ferries was, he
thought, one in point. Even when a bridge was built,
not on the lands of the person who had an interest in
the ferry, stilt compensation was allowed him. He was
desirous that all patent offices should be revised and put
on a different footing.
Mr. BANK ES said that the interests vested in indivi-
duals holding such offices as those in question, were to
be considered in the nature of freeholds, and the gene-
ral rule had been, whenever it was found expedient to
abolish or regulate such offices, to grant a fair and ade-
quate compensation to the parties for the loss entailed
upon them by the change. That practice had, however,
been carried to a very pernicioul excess, particularly in
the provisioa for compensations to per sons holding offices
in the Irish Courts, on the Union. To any such extrava-
gant scale of compensation as was adopted on that occa-
sion, he should at all times be decided! y opposed, though
bound to concur in the general principle. In the pre-
sent case he thought the proffer way would be, to wait.
and see what would be the operation of the Bill, and if
it should be fouticl to diminish the emoluments of the
offi,:ers in question, then to grant them compensation in
proportion to the amount of such diminution.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought the system
of compensation should have its limits, but he considered
these offices as precisely within its limits.
Mr. ABERCROMBY did not consider that compen-
satiun was to be given for public improvement, though
he was ready to acknowledge that they had no right to
reduce the fees of these offices from half-a-crown to a
shilling, nor from a shilling to sixpence; but there was
no compact existing between these parties and the Pub-
lic, that no step should b; taken to introduce improve-
%ment, if such improvement was calculated to decrease
the profits of these patent place,.
Mr. SYKES had, up to this time, contemplated the
of his Noble Friend as 6ne replete with beneficial
effects for the Public ; but it it was to be clogged with
this tax of compensation, he doubted much whether-he
should consider it in the same light in future.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the course he

intended to pursue would be, to propose a clause in the
Committee on the Bill; and unless he had moved this
Resolution, he should not have been in a situation to pro-
pose such a clause in the Bill; and in that clause he should
not propose compensation for any vague speculative loss,
but for real Pnafide loss, to be ascertained hereafter.
After a few words from Mr. Huss; the Arrouszy-Gessitat,
Lord Mitrosi Sir J. Nswrosa, Mr. Assam:atm and Sir F. 051-
stattrr, the amendment was put, and negatived without a division.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR suggested, that the County Clerk of the
County Palatine of Durham should be included in the list of those
who were entitled to compensation under this Bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on several Members bearing
testimony to the propriety.of this officer's name being included in
the Bill, acceded to its insertion.
Sir F. OMMANEY proposed that Mr. Edge, the Treasurer
and Reseiver of the Conn of King's Bench, be six) incliAled in the

list of Officers t 6 w•hottt coosl.etsation was allowed. ile was
most meritorious Officer, and entitle.d to the advantages proposed
by the present Bill.
The ATTORN EV-GENERAL had but one objection to the.
insertion of this Officer's name; it was simply this, be was not
aware that there was any such Officer--(A laugh).
Sir F. BLAKE was of opinion, that in conNidering the claims
for compensation, some compensation ought to be made to the
House for loss of time-.(A laugh). •
Sir F. 0 NIM ANEY. after a short desultory conversation, was
unwilling to absorb the time Of the Ilouse any longer, and consented
to withdraw the motion.

On the motion of Lord ALTIIORP, the House resolved itself into
a Committee on the County Court, Bill.
-On the Clause for appointing an Assessor to the Sheriff in each
County being read,

Mr., PEEL s;iid, he thought It might be better to appoint a 'm
number to go the Circuit, which would induce persons of *rect.,-
attainments to take the situation, and at the same time be a saving
the Public; by the present clause there would be abolit seventy ..
sessors, at salaries of 500/. a year, vThich soihe might think svoL.
have no favourable effect on the integtity of the bar.
Mr. HOBHOUSE thought that the appointment of local b. t-
risters, who resided in the country, would be the least exception-
able measure, as their conduct would be Mote under the °Wei
6011 of that part of the Public who were interested in the just ills.
charge of their duties.
Mr. PEEL recommended the postponement of the clause, to
give time for fuller consideration, to which Lord A LTIIOR e consented,
and the consideration of the clause Was, accordingly postponed.
On the clause that all actions for debts not exceeding 101. should
be brought in the County Court,
Mr. LOCKII Ala suggested, that debts to the amount of 21./.
or at least 151. should be recoliered under the
The .ATTOR NEY-GEN ER AIL said, ei the Bill was merely an
experiinOnt, he thought it might be best in the first instance-to rnu_
fine its operation to sums of 101. and when the machinery was teiriy
put in motion, and it was seen how it worked, if it were thought
advisable to extend its operations, it could be dene•by a 11.11 of
few provisions. •
Lord ALTHORP was willing the question of amount should
I be considered, and proposed the postponement: o[ the clause for that
purpose, which was agreed to-.
On the clause for paying the expenses to be incurred by the ap-
pointment of the Courts nut of the County Rates,
Lord -A LTHORP said, he thought, on consideration, it 'would
be a hardship on the Counties, an& that it would be more season-
able that the expense should be paid nut of the Consolidated Fund.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said; before he
could consent to that arrangement, he must know a little more of
what the expense would be.
Mr. Secretary PEEL suggested the postponement of the clause,
which was agreed to.
The several clauses of the. Bill were agreed to, the [rouse re-
sumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday.
CUSTOMS ACTS.

The House went Into a Committee on the Customs Acts.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his object
was to make a new proposition with respect to the repeal of the
ditties on imported wool. All wool imported was subject to a duty
of 6.1. in the pound. It was intended some time ago to repeal the
whole of that duty on the sth of July ; he should, however, adopt
another proposition which had been submitted to the House,.
namely, that for reducing the duty gradually. It was, therefore,
proposed, that on the 10th of September the duty should be re-
duced threepence, and on the 10th of December twopence, leav-
ing tidy a duty off' one penny upon Foreign Wool. The exported
long wool of British growth would be charged with a duty of two-
pence per pound, and be further subject to an ad ?Worm duty on
the raw material of 16 per cent. The Right Honourable Gentle=
man accordingly moved a resolution embracing his proposition.
Mr. BRIGHT considered any debate on the subject at that Lee
hour improper. Many Members who took interest in the %soul
question had left the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER was desirous to
recommend, the course stated, because he did not wish to fetter tl•e
trade. with restrictions. If it should be found that the duty of 2‘l.
on long wool for exportation amounted to a prohibition, it would
certainly he necessary to 'apply to the house to take it off. Ile
originally proposed one penny, but he expressed a hope that the
Committee onuld see there was no ground for complaint of his
change of opinion.
After some further converpation between Mr. Casters, Mr. W.
Ssuren, Mr. CALCKAFT, Mr. WesTRIIN, and Mr. WOKTLEY, the Re.
solution was agreed to.
Bir M. RIDLEY wished to know when anything decisivew as
to be done as to the Coal Duty ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, this matter
was in the same state as all the other Customs Duties, sod he was
not prepared to say what was ultimately to be done about it. lle
thought it would be better to go into a Committee ou this subject
purposely.—Adjourned at Oxa O'CLO:7K.

sired by inieir,u're, which, without amounting to war,
will not implicate the pacific negotiation now pending
with Brazil, and which, if not adopted, not only will
Nentevideo be loss, but never afterwards regained by
any peaceable negotiation.
General Lecor occupies nothing, by right, on the
Eastern territory, and, defacto, alone is he in possession
of the country round. The fortress of Monte Video, on
the eve of being evacuated by the Portuguese troops,
places itself under the protection of this Government,
and declares that it does not wish to belong to any other
nation than the Provinces of the Union. In what can it
.prejudice the result of the negociation pending with
'Brazil, if the Government of Buenos Ayres admits the
protection of a town not in the possession of Brazil, and
an which the latter had never had any right? Let this
:Government protect the independence of that capital—
not by a war, for which there is no need ; but hy pecu-
niary aid, .of which it stands in need, and by suitable
.protests to foreign Chiefs. Let the force of the native;
occupy the territory belonging to them, and which b
about to be evacuated by the European Portuguese.
Let Baron de Laguna hold the ground he occupies; and,
without warfare, let us wait the result of the negocia-
tion pending ; for if the Imperialists should in the mean-
while invade Monte Video, it cannot then be doubtful
'who has been the infractor in the midst of a peaceable
negoctation."
CARACCAS, FEBRUARY 8.
We enjoy throughout all the Republic the most per-
fect tranquillity, and it is incredible how much in-
•fluence our beneficent system has had in promoting the
prosperity. and happiness of the people, notwithstanding
the sacrifices which the struggle in which we are en-
gaged has, and still does require. The city has gained'
so much by beiag occupied by the armies of the Re-
public, that it has changed the poverty in which tie
Spaniards kept it for comparative opulence. The be-
haviour et the military is exemplary. I have lint seen
one punished for :he eighteen months I have been here.
The President, General Bolivar, has composed all the in-

ternal differences among the Peruvians: and we expect

instant news of great success in that country, .since, be-
sides the 6,000 Colombians, 8,000 Chiliant had set out
for Peru. I hope that the ship Asia, and the two fri-
gates that were to sail from Cadiz, will arrive too late.

SPAIN.

PRIVATE colutEsroxbr:N.cg.

MADRID. AIARou 1.2.

This country is tranquil, at least there is not in Ma-
drid any report to the contrary. The Minister of Finance,
to whose exertions Spain must finally owe its tranquil-
lity, is exerting himself in order to form regulations.for
• the Sinking Fund of the present debt, 1,200,000,(X)0 reals
N-12,000,0001. sterling. Ilia Decree of the 4th of Fe-
bruary aCommitteeol In vestigation for the debts of Spain
'was appointed, as also was a fund for their liquidation.
The Spaniards are remarkable for excellent paper regu-
lations; but there are persons here who maintain that
there never will be a good result from those two De-
crees. To-day a Decree was i,sned for annexing a fourth
more to the amount of the sum granted for the previous
Sinking Fund, making the whole 100,000,000 reals—
or 1,000,0001. per annum—a mere trifle in comparison
to the amount of the debt. That is but a prelude to a
new loan of 8,000,0001. which the Minister has de-
clared necessary for the exigencies of the State. _ There
does not appear to be the least inclination to admit the
'Bonds of the Cortes for any amount. I have been in.
forrned that there are persOns here who arc using every
effort to obtain the New Loan.

There was another Decree issued this morning for
allowing their ltlfipay to the Constitutional Officers
who bad relinquished the-service of the Cortes prior to
the Ist of OCtciber.. All those cf the rank of Captain,
and above it, are to have half-pay; the subordinates
only one•third.'
