We lately adverted, from Information derived from
Mighty Intelligent sources, to the state of public feeling
in England, on the question of slavery in the West
indies which we mentioned was expected to form a
leading subject OF parliamentary and political djscu.sion
the next year, and which. ii was thoIght, would result
In the adoption OF measures, calculated 10 lead 10 the
entire emancipation Of the blacks in the British Ameri-
can Islands. This interesting subject was agitated in
the House Of Commons on the 18th of April. when the
following resolution " as introduced by Mi. T. Buxton :
=, That In the resolutions OF the 10th Of May, 1923,
the House distinctly recognized ii to be their ,olemn
duty to take measures for the abolition Of slavery in the
British Colonies; that in the eight years that have since
elapsed, the colonial assemblies that have not taken
measures to carry the resolutions of the House into eff
ieet mat deeply impressed with a sense of the impro-
priety, inhumanity, and injustice of colonial slavery,
this House will proceed to consider OF. and adopt the
best means of efectng its abolition throughout, the
British dominions."

did not approve OF the terms of the resolution. He re-
commended to the House, in coming to any decision
on the long agita'ed subject, TO abide by the advice of
Mr. canning, who had always maintained that thew
should as mufh as possible avoid taking the West Indies
by surprise. He, however, thought IT,, after ample
notice oil what was contemplated with respect to the
question at issue, the Colonial assemblies dill moi
speedily comply with the resolutions of 1928, ParIia-
ment should ENFORCE their authority and extend their
interference beyond mere Recommendation. He
was willing TO delay %resorting to an extreme measure
as long as there was any chance that a miider one
would accomplish their object But should the leeis-
laive assemblies persist in their opposition, IL would
be undoubtedly the bounden duty Of Parliament TO as
sert their dignity, and enforce their recommendations
