The DUKE OF WELLiNGToN-l am sure the house
will have heard the speech of the noble lord with
satisfaction consider 1t my duty TO move that the
words expressed by the noble lord on this occasion
be entered on the journals of the house. (Cheers
The motion was agreed to.
The most important speech during the session, by
any member unconnected with the governme nj, was
made last week by Mr. Charles Butler, in introdu-
eng his plan for complete system OF colonization.
MIR. Butler Is master of the subject. He accompa-
MED Lord Durham TO Canada it will be remembered,
and the splendid report which that nObeman gave
to Parliament on his return, owed many of its most
important and useful suggestions to Mr. Buffers sa-
gacty On the night in question he occupied the
mouse three hours, in speech which fills nine co
lumns OF the morning papers Lord Stanley endea-
vored to throw wet blanket the debate by
chanting the praises of The Colonial Office, but he
did, succeed In drawing attention from the pana.
cea Tor curing the Ills under which an old and cir
cumscrlbed and densely populated country like Eng
land is labOrng-too much strength, too much blood
and slnews, the best remedy for which is a compre-
hensive system of emigration carried out in a liberal
and enlightened spirit. The advantages are iet to
be lncalculable, and coup de main by the govern
ment. at no distant day, is inevitable.
The SLAVE TRADE Lord Brougham, in the
House OF Lords, on the 10Th inst, introduced his
bill for the better prevention OF the slave trace His
hrst object was to decide by declaratOry act that
British subject residing abroad, bit not within the
bounds OF British settlement, buying slaves and
transporting them to his plantation, was guilty of
felony. The next object was TO legisate respecting
the transmission by legal instruments OF foreign
slave plantations and the third to prohibit the buy
ing and selling OF slaves by JOINT stock companies
established here for the carrying projects abroad
He wished also to insure better mode of trial
where slave trading practices imputed to Bri-
tlsh subjects, and to impose upon parties engaged
In the African trade some species of superiniend
ance which would confne them to their legitimate
traffic. After some observations upon the apparent
Inconsistencies OF the American government,
which, having declared the slave trade piracy, vet
complained OF any prohered assistance on the part
OF friendly power in carrying into effect its own
law, the noble lord moved that the bill be read
first time.
In Lord Brougham's concluding observations Lord
Campbell entirely concurred, but Lord Ashburton,
although admitting that the extension of such op-
mons was extremely desirable, trusted that the coun-
try would not be understood as intending to enforce
them contrary to the law of nations Lord Camp
bell contended that the slave trade had been unver
sally recognized piracy, but corrected by Lord
Aberdeen, who quoted France a country whose
acquescence in this doctrine was still to be obtain
ed.
Lord Denman, although he was convinced that
more the subject was considered, the more widely
would his opinion be agreed In, that the pirate and
the slave trader were by natural law constituted pub
lie enemies felt the necessity OF obtaining the
operation OF other countries too strongly to
mend any departure from the letter of treaties.
He indicated the decision of the American Judges
on the subject; but thought that only by ge-
neral combination OF the naval powers that the abo
| litlon OF the slave trade could be Effected.

Rouen railroad TO the public, says the Presse, is
positively liked for Mays.
Viscount Dubouchage presented on the Sd instant,
| a petition to the Chamber of Peers, signed by
raj persons at Bourges, complaining that the lnane
Don Carlos was detained as state prisoner in that
town. and praying that he might be set liberty to
change his residence, or leave the country.
Private letters state that Don Carlos is detained at
Bourges against his will, however it may SUIT the
French Ministry to deny the fact. He cannot leave
the country without passports, which the govern
ment refuse, and he cannot go a certain distance
from Bourges without being exposed to the interfer-
ence of the police.
The disorders that have broken out in st Domin
go have caused some alarm in France, ndepend-
emily OF financial considerations. The Minister of
Marine had forwarded orders TO the Maratlme Pre-
feet OF Brest, to despatch two men-Of- war to Hayt,
to protect the French residents
The Toulonnals of the 9Th instant, states that the
Emperor of Morocco had given satisfaction to the
United States for the insult offered to their Consul

The Spanish Cortes were opened on the Sd with
great pomp and formality. A detachment of cavalry
and SIX carriages accompanied the Regent and the
young Queen from the palace. The Regent read
the royal speech. After aluding to the zeal of the
maglsracy, and the perjury of the treasury, the
speech states that'he late nsurrecton had paraysed
the economical schemes of the government, and

1t was generally reported in Madrid, that the pre-.
sent Ministers had placed 'heir resignation at the
disposal of the Regent, to deprive the enemies of
the Constitution in the new Certes of anv pretence
for attacking it and his Government through them,
but that "nolhlns was yet settled IA to who will stay
in, or who will relieve them"

Accounts from Portugal 10 the Sd inst state that
the three months which the charter requires the
Cortes to sit having expired yesterd ay, royal de-
cree was published extending the session for a month
further II is not probable that the propagation will
be much longer postponed. Yet OF the financial
not one has yet been touched, though their
extent and importance would require full three
months to discuss them alone. The Deputies are
already betrayng signs OF WEAKNESS frequently fail

The Deputies have been occupied with bill for
reducing the number OF admins ratve districts and
dioceses throughout the klngdem. The first part OF
this project will involve a saving of expenditure.
The second will render existing funds more available
for the maintenance of the church IN circumstances
