Laves, BCc.. is the West India Islands, were ordered to be lai4f
before the House, with the view of giving some information Cil
the subject of the Slave Trade.
Mr. GOULBURN moved the third reading of the
New South Wales Duties Bill. r .
Mi. BENNETT took occasion to animadvert upon
the eanooragestient whiCh was afforded by Govern-
ment to settlers in North America, to the prejudice
of the cOlooixation of. New Soath.'.Walesi. although,
for healthipess of,.4sar fertility, and a cap-
shility.to forts le, . Canada was,
unfintiltrlOT, ha fiet Iralll blew South Wales.
sTAItriORD agreed with. his ,l-lonourable
Friend in. the whole tendency of his rinfaiks. He
.served, that the fertility of a part of. the cape of
flood Hope justified a preference, for the purposes
of colonization, to Canada.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE said, he had always inn-
.,
glued that New South Wales was intended as a Place
filar convicts, and not for settlers; and, for'his part,
he would protest against its being considered in any
other light. The convicts who wont out there had
it in their power, by a return to moral conduct* to
insure to themselves as many of the advantages from
Industry as they could •enjoy elsewhere by the same
means ; and he believed, that. at this moment there
were not a few merchants in opulent circumstances
in that quarter who bad gone out there originally as
convicts, With regard to the•observations of the
Other Elcinourable Member respecting .the fertility of
the Cape Of Good Hope, where the pigs,• as he de-
scribed them, were running about with knives and
forks stuck in their baiks—(a laugh)—dhe (Sir Joseph
Yorke) had only to say, that, in contradiction to the
:Honourable Member. there was not a part of the
habitable world less fertile, or fit for settlers, than the
part which he had so favourably described.
Mr. HARBORD, in explanation, described a part
of the Cape of Good Hope, which he stated to be re-
anarkably,fertile.
Mr. GOULBURN said, that a large influx of
strangers into the Colony of New South Wales, in
'addition to the existing population, would create very
great distress. Canada, however, was very differently
Circumstanced, and afforded great advantages to,
emigrants. He then proceeded to notice some other
aitidulars urged against the local administration' of
New South Wales, and observed, that the conduct of
•all the persons connected with it would be subject to
judicial inquiry should there be grounds for it after
investigation. •
Mr.AVILBERFORCE wished to know if Govern-
ment had received any official intimation respecting
a trial in which Mr. Campbell, the Secretary to the
Governor, was coocerned?
M. GOULBURN said, he was not aware that
any such information had reached Administration in

. thus country. . •
• Mr.. BUXTON commented on the conduct of gr.
„Campbell, in having published a libel in a Paper of
IC.ew South %Vales, againska. most respeetabler
of the Colony, and afterwards having denied it •it
the suggestion of the Governor. •

Lord CASTLEREAPH moved thelfiider oe'the
Del forgoing into aComanittee *iv Majesty's
'Message relative to 'making a provision foe the
loirnger branches of .the Royal Family. Us WAS
happy that the Resolutioosteomi about' to propose
:were likely to meet with the unanimous coosent of
. the House, as their object was only ;9 place the tnell);.
bars of the Royal Family on. the same footing upon
which they stood on the demise of ;the Crown. He
should, perhaps. under other circumstances, have
felt it his duty to recommend to the attentionofPar.,
liameut one or two branches of the Royal Family I
that were oot so well provided for as others ; but at •
present he should forego that determination. The
situation, however, of the Duke of Claience, he could
not help adveiting to as being peculiarly eintsirras:.
consideraig his illustrious station. Thar Royal
Duke received 1:6000 n-year less than any of his
younger brothers, and he (Lord Castlereagh) was per-
. swede& that the House and the Public would be
fully prepared to appreciate the privacy. and economy
with which be managed his domestic affairs on so
narrowed an income. He might also notice the in-
teresting situation of the Duchess of Kent, though
at the same time it was not thought expedient that
any :additional provision should at .present be made
for. that Illustrious Personage--(Hear, hear). It
ought to be mentioned, that Prtrue Leopbld had,,
with the greatest liberality, undertaken the education'
and support of the infant Princess—(Hear)—withent,
however, prejudice to the right of that Royal Child,
• in obtaining a suitable provision at a proper time.--1
Nothing-pow remained for him, but to propOse the
- usual votes which might be granted in a Committee
of Supply on Wednesday next. Vet, before he did
this, he thought it right to observe w the Houses that,
there was a cbarge in one of them for £20,000. or
£13,000, for the servants of, his late Majesty's He,
knew it W4s.not usual to charge the Public with any
provision fpr theservaus of the late King on the de-
mise ofther Crown. as Olose servants generally went
to form part of the establishment of his successor ;--
but his present Majesty succeeded to the flirene un-
der peculiar circumstances. His establishment was
formed long before the demise of the-Crown, and,
therefore, he could not take into his service the per-
. suns employed by his Royal Father,-and who bad,
therefore, a claim on the consideration tithe Public.
There was then a charge of £24,000 for servant:—
£:1500 fur servants actually in the employinent ef his
late Majesty'on the demise of the:Crown, and £4500
. (or supetaunuations on the. late :fanes establf,sh-
malt. There were besides, included in this sum se-
veral Small pensions, the applications for which had
been referred to * Committee, and in consequence of
the Report, the pensions were charged On the Privy
Purse. There were besides some other charges for
persons who could not be considered in the light of
iaeuial servants. and. to whom the lilserality. -of his

was a charge of X 19,000, of which sum 1:$000 had
