EAST DENE, the well-known Gothic Villa and Domain of Harry Surinan, Esq. .0 be .5011J b Auction, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, LONDON, on THURSDAY, July ] I 1833, in one lot, I^HIS singularly rare and valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY may be unhesitatingly designated the most perfect Bijou within the three kingdoms. To East Indians and all valetudinarians who have accumulated wealth at the expense of their health, this favoured spot is especially adapted. The South of France scarcely equals, in its salutary in- fluence, and cannot exceed the Uudercliff- It is a short drive of eleven miles from Rydc or Newport, and in this space the traveller accomplishes what the most sanguine could contemplate, after a tedious voyage to Madeira. THE ISLE OF WIGHT the back of the. is ested emefor the salubrity of its air, anti Island has always been accounted THE GRAD DESIDERATUM. It now becomes expedient to pamcu- larise the place under consideration, and first it may be as well to observe, that it is constructed upon the pure Eliza- bet hian Order of Architecture. The taste that directed the completion of Eton Hall (which is quite in the Gothic style) is especially observed here, except that (upon a limited scale) it far exceeds any thing that modern writers have conceded to the Hall alluded to. In the island it has long been considered the pet place, as it lacks nothing that consummate taste and a liberal and profuse expenditure could accomplish. It is comprised in a little demesne of ABOUT FORTY TWO ACRES. The grounds so are romantic and beautiful, ami in such perfect order, that Repton would be proud to acknowledge them as his own there is such a never-ending variety—so much of inequality • the verdant lawns, the scenic beauties, and the woodland scenery form such a rare combination of all that is singularly beautiful, it may claim to approach FAIRY LAND. ° Those who have seen it will not fail to give their unbiassed sanction to this moderate praise. The tow. ering hills, the fearful rocks and cascades forming a termi- nation to this seat of quietude and repose, would require a talent infinitely surpassing the humble pretensions of the writer to do it justice amid the luxuriant shrubbery walks, and fruitful plantations, winter appears a stranger the American plants display a green freshness and healthful- g ness that surpass belief; the shelter of the undercliffs, after quitting the open and elevated down, may remind the Italian traveller of his sensation on entering "The Valley of DomodosaHa," after quitting the chilly dofiles of the Simploii it is at once a new climate, and the vegetable world demonstrates that these first impressions upon the senses are not deceitful, for the whole tribe of Exotics flourish during winter in the open air, and snow, with its other disagreeable accompaniments, is so rare as hardly to live in our remembrance. It may be well to observe, that while profound taste is exhibited without, the influential power of tact and wealth combined are most conspicuous within it is almost a service of danger to dwell upon the varied exhibition which the eye has to encounter in every direction it can alone be appreciated by refined taste. Money in this, as in all other cases, was indispensable; wealth is attainable by many, but it is suggested, and with all the positiveness of truth, that the splendid, the gigantic efforts of knowledge and research so prominent everywhere, could alone be attained by a mind singularly endowed with respect and admiration of the works of the oldentimes." The whole of the interior is of solid oak; the furniture throughout exhibits specimens of carving, that even the classical taste of Mr. Beckford will venerate and acknow- ledge; the windows of this abode are all of the finest painted glass, shedding throughout their dim and religious light," and above all, there is such good keeping every where, the tout ensemble harmonises so perfectly, that with. out the aid of a new dictionary it would be found exceedingly difficult to find works to do it moderate Justice. It may he well, by way of conclusion, to observe, that in the midst of so much ancient and unrivalled taste, the word comfort will be found a proud auxiliary—nothing which this com- prehensive term can suggest is a stranger here. The offices arc fully commensurate to all legitimate purposes, both within and without, and in the midst of shady groves will be found the secluded hermitage, and an ice house in the extensive Gardens. A little fortune has been expended in producing the finest specimens of which the HorticuL tural Girdens are capable. The range of Conservatoviss I and Hot and Succession Houses contribute to render this little paradise independent of the expence connected with Covent-garden luxury indeed it were next to impossible to enumerate a single feature of utilitv which is not con- spicuous here; but let the reader judge for himself, and Mr. Robins feels assured that. he will return expressing a decided conviction that the picture has been throughout very im- perfectly portrayed. A drawing and plan have been exe- cuted, and will accompany the particulars of sale, at 2s. 6'd. each. To prevent improper intrusion and idle curiosity (and with this view alone) no one can be admitted without this description the hours from twelve to six, always excepting Sundays. Paiticulars are preparing, and may he had about the middle of May, at the York House, Batli the Dolphin, Southampton George, Portsmouth at the lodge entrance of Harry Suvaam, Esq. Solicitor, Lincoln's lnti at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. GEORGE ROBIN'S Offices, Covent-garden, London.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOR DS, May 30. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from merchants, shipowners, and other inhalriuuit* of the city of Bristol and its viciiiiiy, against the plan for negro emancipation brought forward by ministers. His Grace also presented a petition from the planters and proprietors of the colony of Dominica. They demanded protection for their properties, or thoy were willing to cede their estates to hia*Majesty for a va- luable consideration. This offer was worthy of con- sideration, as his Majesty's ministers could in this colony try an experiment v>hich, if successful, might be extended to others in which the crown had no pog. sessions. Lord SUFFIELD observed, that no doubt the Do- minica petitioners would have no more objection to take the value of their slaves from ministers, than the possesser of a stolen horse would have to give him up on being paid for him. Lord BERESFORD could not see how the example of the stolen horse applied to the proprietors of Domi- nica, unless in this way—that the horse was about to be stolen from them, and thev were not to be paid at all. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in reply to an ob- servation of Lord Suffield, referred to the resolulions of the House of Commons, and repeated acts of par- liament guaranteeing their property to the planters. They were Englishmen, and every Englishman was entitled to be protected in his property, and could not be deprived of it, even by act of parliament, with- out compensation. If a question on the subject arose in the Court of Chancery to-morrow, the Lord Chan- cellor should decide as upon other property. The Bishop of BRISTOL presented a petition from St. Paul's, Cork, against the Irish Church Reform Bill. He looked upon the proposed measure merely as a sa- crifice made to the Roman Catholics of Irelaud, and said that in Irelaud it was looked upon with horror and dismay. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of ti)e Debtor and Creditors' Bill, and in doing so explamed that the bill was designed to make the real as well as the personal property of debtors liable to the payment of their just debts. After a few words from Lord WYNFORD, it was read fl second time, and ordered to be committed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 30. PETITIONS FROM THE WEST INDIA PROPRIETORS. Sir R. VVVTAN pl't.se:tted the petition from certain j bankers, proprietors, merchants, and others connected with the West India Colonies, and ;ilso a petition, to the same effect, signed by nearly 2000 persons, of various trades and occupations, in the city of Bristol, praying, the house not to accede to any measure inconBistent with the well being of the negroes, and injurious to the interests of the West India pro- prietors. Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from certain merchants and West India proprietors connected with the city of London, to the same effect. Mr. F. BUXTON presented petitions fronv various places fur the abolition of slavery. On the question that the house do now resolve itself into a comillittee of the whole house, to take into consideration the question of COLONIAL SLAVERY, Sir R. VYVYAN rose to oppose the proposition of ministers. After complaining of tne want of repre- sentation under which the colonies laboured since the passing of the Reform act, and urging that circum- stance as a strong claim to the protection—or, at least, to the forbearance of the legi^atU|.0_ the hon. baronet proceeded to vindicate the rights of the colonists. After referring to several of t he intended provisions of the government plan, and disputing many of the statements of the right hun, secretary j (Mr. Stanley), he warned the government that their project could never work; and that the bare attempt to bring it iuto operation would be attended with the most disastrous consequences both to proprietors and slaves. In conclusion, he observed that lie had no re- I solution to propose, nor would heobjeet to the Speaker leaving the chair, as he had no wish to prevent the fullest inquiry into the subject. Mr. STANLEY replied to the arguments of the hon. baronet, and referred to the proceedings of some of the colonies to prove that the orders in council, which had been issued by government for the amelioration of the condition of the slaves, had met with strong oppo- sition, ond to show that no reasonable expectation could be entertained of the colonial legislatures taking efficient measures for the abolition of slavery. The right hon. gentleman then announced that government had made an alteration in their original plan, with a view to meet the objections that had been raised, by both parties, against making the re-payment of the 10..11 r I ¡J})O(),OOOL. liep";»«! upon ill- proceed* of oiif- I fourth of the negroes labour. It was now proposed that the re-payinellt of the loan, and the interest upon it, should be etfected by the imposition of an additional duty upon colonial sugar. By this arrangement any money which the negroes might earn by their own voluntary exertions, would become their property, and they might thus acquire the means of purchasing their freedom before the expiration of the twelve years, as the term of their emancipation. Colonel HAY opposed the measure, and contended that notilill- short of coercion vvould induce the negroes to labour. He defended the conduct of the West Indian Planters, wlio he said had been greatly misrepresented, and he adduced many instances of their having evinced great readjuess attend to the 'i11oral education of the slaves. Mr. P. 1\1. STEW ART also defended the colonists, and stated the measures they had adopléd for ame- hoi-ating the condition of their slaves, who, he con- tended, were much better provided for even in the worst of the colonies than the factory children in this country and he alluded to the average mortality in Demerara and in some of the English counties in proof of this assertion. He observed that he was no ad- vocate for slavery, but as the right of property in slaves had been sanctioned by the British legislature, they ought not to destroy that species of property without adequate compensation. Mr. F. BUXTON observed that the question was not whether slavery should or should not be abolished, but how the aboliton should be effected, and his dread was that the measure proposed might not be sufficiently speedy in its operation to induce the slaves to wait patiently for the. term oftlicii, emancipation. He ex- pressed his satisfaction at the alteration which had been announced in the original plan, and said that the measure should have his support. Mr. WARD objected to the plan, because he did not think it afforded the proprietors of slaves sufficient compensation, and without compensation the abolition of slavery would, he considered, be an act of spolia- tion. On the motion of Mr. Gonsojf, the debate at half past twelve o'clock was adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 31. Among several petitions presented was one, which was presented by Lord MAI.MESBURY, from Lord Cawdor, as lord of the manor of a district in Carmar- thenshire. The petition was against the Lord Chan- cellor's Local Courts Bill. Among severaUpetilious presented was one The Marquess of BUTE said he had a petition to present from Robert Hibbert, jun., a West India pro- prietor, against the present measure proposedi by the government for the abolition of negro slavery, and praying that compensation might be given to him for the property of which that measure was calculated to deprive him. The petition stated, that the petitioner had filled several offices of magistracy in Jamaica, in which he had endeavoured to discharge the duties of a good subject that he had invested 70,000/. in the purchase ofau estate and 560 slaves that he derived from it even now an interest of four per cent on his capital that he had been at great expense to promote the wel- fare of his slaves, and secure their attachment, and had provided at his own expense a chaplain for their religious instruction that the plan proposed by minis- ters would require him to pay for twelve years to each of his slaves 5/. a year more than he at present does, and that this would absorb all the income that he actually derives from his estate that he has no desire to participate in the loan of 15,000,0001. at 4 per cent, the employment of which on his estate would afford him no advautage and that, if his quota of it be con. ferred as a gift, it would fall far short defraying the permanent increased charge of 51. on each of his slaves: that he has had long experience among the negroes in Jamaica, and solemnly believes, both from his own ob- servation, and from the history of the negroes both in a state of slavery and of freedom, that their natural indolence is such, that he could not with prudence continue the cultivation of his estate if the proposed measure pass into a law: and that he therefore prays, either that no law. may pass affecting his property without makiug a fair compensation, or that, if such a law do pass, some place may be provided, to which his slaves may be removed without danger to the per- sons and properties of others, and that he may be per- mitted to dismantle his estates, and take the chance of selling them to any purchaser that may offer. Several other petitions were presented, after which the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 31. The second reading of Hutchinson's Claim Bit! was moved by Mr. BRISCOE, and opposed by Mr.R. GRANT, who entered into a statement on the case A l'ter some discussion the house divided. For the motion 0 j Against it 33 I Majority 32 SECOND SITTING.—FIVE O'CLOCK. c Mr. HUME had heard that the Captain of the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners had lately died he wished to ask, whether a tmccessoi was to be appointed. Lord ALTHORP was not prepared to give a defini- tive answer. BANK CHARTER. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the house re- solved itself into a committee on the Bank Charter, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Lord ALTHORP then entered at large into the sub- ject of the bank charter, and the banking busines*. With respeci to country banking he proposed, that every banking company of more than six partners should be a joint stock company, such company to be esta- blished by charter. These joint stock banks were of two sorts-sGii-,c issued their own notes, aair-others did not but banks were prevented from issuing notes payable in London for less than 501. The conditions on which he proposed that government should grant charters to joint stock banks, issuing their own notes, were-arst, that the partners should have half of their subscribed capital paid up, and deposited either in the government funds, or some equally good securities and secondly, that the partners in those joint stock banks should be liable to an unlimited responsibility. He further proposed that the corporation of the bank, as such, should not hold any shares in it. He lastly proposed that the accounts of the bank should be yearly audited and published. With regard to joint stock banks that did not Issue notes, he proposed that one quarter of their subscribed capital, instead of one half should be paid up and deposited at. before; that their shares should not be less than tool.eacli; and that the partners in such banks should be only liable to a responsibility to the amount of their shares, a!so that the corporations of those banks should not, as such, hold any shares in those banks. To enable the government to ascertaia the amount of circulation of country bank notes, he proposed that country banks, itistead of having the option, as now enjoyed by the Bank of England, of compounding for the stamp duty on ttieit-tiotes, should be compelled to pay 78. per cent. atamp duty upon the notes which they issued. Also with a view to ascertain their solvency, he proposed thai a statement of the accounts of each individual bank, should he sent up to London as a strictly confi- dential paper, which was not to be published in a separate form but, the accounts being adocd together, the total result would be given to the public peiiodi- cally. He should observe that the country banker could state the wholt, of his available assets. Sir R. PEEL asked, whether the statement would include landed property Lord ALTHORP—As to that point, landed estates, although not immediately convertible, tended certainly to an increase of security for the ultimate solvency of the banker, and oil that ground it might be matter for consideration whether the description of property re- ferred to should not be included in the account. With respect to the renewal of the bank charter, the sub. stance of his observations is embodied in his resolu- tions which were to the following effect 1. To renew the charter for 21 years, on condition, that if at the end of t.myeursiho then existing government should so tiling fit, 'hey iN-e twelve IIwQthtt. noiue tu the bank, that the charter should expire at the end of eleven years. "2 That no banking company, consisting of more than six partners, shall issue notes, payable on demand, within the metropolis, or within 65 miles of the metropolis. Banking companies, however, consisting of any number of partners, established at a greater distance from the metro- polis than 65 miles, shall have the right to draw biils on London without restriction as to the amount, and to issue notes pavable in London." 3. Bank of England notrs shrvl be a kal tender, except ht the Hauk of England, or ill any of its branches. 4.

An account, to that laid befojrj; the Rank Committee, of the auioir.it of bullion and securities in the hands of the Bank, and of the amount ol notes in circula- tion, and of the deposits in tlitl of the Banl-, cli-ill be transmitted as a confidential payer, weelcly, to the [Chancellor of the Excbeqicr thcseacrollnts shan be consolidated at the epd of each quarter, tad, tie^average state of the Bank accounts for the .preceding quarter, published quarterly in the Gazette "6 A bill also to be introduced into Parliament, with a view of regulating country banks. Provisions of this measure will be such as to hold out an inducement t.) the establishment of Joint Stock Dunks, who will not issue their own notes," As his Majesty's government consider these terms highly advantageous to the Bank, and to entitle them to expect some considerable pecuniary advantages from that company, they propose that government should repay to the Bank, 25 per cent. of the debt of J4,:jOO,OOOl. now duo, and that the Bank shall deduct from the payments made to 'them from the govern- ment, for the transactions of the government business, the annual sum of 120,0001. Mr. BARING said the country bankers would at once perceive that the plan would get rid of a large proportion of their notes, and substitute Bank of England notes for them. He thought the bank had got the better of the bargain which had been struck, and that the reduction of 120,0007. made in the annual charges by the bank was not equivalent to the amount that had been paid to the government on former occasions. There úere strong objections, he maintained, to the giving publicity to the accounts of, the Bank of England. With rpspect to the plan for regulating country banking, the house ought to wait for the opinions of the persons principally interested in that lurt of the subject. Mr. GBOTE approved of the general principles of the plan, but thought it would be advis-ible to publish more detailed accounts of the affairs of the bank than was proposed. Lord ALTHORP stated, in reply to questions from Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Baring, that the present measure was intended to be confined in its operation to England and Wales, and that it would not make Bank of England notes a legal tender in Scotland and Ireland. Sir M. W. RIDLEY a&ked whether it was intended that country bankers who did not issue their own notes were to be compelled to make a return of their circulation, assets, and securities ? Lord AI-THORT answered in the uegative. The discussion was then adjourned to Monday, the 10th instant. ABOLITION QF SLAVERY. The adjourned debate oiMlie West India question was resumed by Mr. GODSQN, who advocated the causa of the planters, and asserted that the amount proposed to be raised by an acklitionaf^uty on colo- nial produce wotild exceed 700,001. dntiua'.Iy that the sum or 20,1100,0091. ought to be given to the colo- nists as an equivalent for this additional revenue raised by taxing their produce and that a further sum of 10,000,^00/. ought to be granted as a loau, with a view to provide for the emancipation of the slaves, which he admitted could no longer wisely be delayed. He moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. TANCRED/Jenied the right of Parliament to interfere with the internal management of the colonies, and warned the house against proceeding rashly in any plan for emancipating slaves. Mr. BUCKING A AM spoke in favour of immediate emancipation, and moved a resolution expressive of the opinion of the house, that slavery should be imme- diately abolished. Colonel DAVIES advocated immediate abolition, under certain conditions. On the motion of Mr. O'CON-NEir T,l the debate was then further adjourned until Monday. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 3. The Duke of M ELLINGTON brought forward his promised motion for an address to tile'Kinz, that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to preserve neutrality between the contending parties in Portugal. His Grace charged the government of this country with having persisted in a long course gf injustice towards her ancient and faithful ally. He particularly adverted to the neglect of ministers to induce France to postpone her claims, while the Portujuese govern- ment was iiiimersad in dlfljcliies-their permission of the seizure of the fleet at Lisbon, and their refusal to prevent the sailing of expeditions, and the fitting out of armaments in this country. This, he contended, was in violation of treaties, and of the spirit of neu- trality upon which they professed to act. The noble duke also laid great stress on the fact of our inter- ference to prevent Spain from taking any part in the contest between the two brothers, the British govern- ment at the same time adopted a contrary course in their own policy. If ministers were really determined to assist Don Pedro, it would be triore honourable in them to say so at once, than, by making professions which were contradicted by their conduct, to make what he called all underhand war against the de facto Ruler of Portugal. He warned the house that if e Don Pedro should succeed with the aid of British ad- veuturers, the consequence would be a civil war not only in Portugal but in Spain. After recommending that his' Majesty should at once recall his subjects who were engaged on both sideti of the contest, the noble duke concluded by moving the address alluded to above. Earl GREY admitted the importance of the subject, but he denied that the noble duke had any ground for his motion, which was a motion of censure upon Ministers. Their conduct had bezn the reverse of what it was described—it had been that of strict neu- trality. After describing the state of Portugal before he came into office, he detailed the circumstances under which Don Miguel had ascended the throne, availing himse'.f of the presence of a British army to '7 assist his usurpation, and making the power and in- fluence of this country a sort of accomplice in the transaction. He appealed to five house whether the government of this country could have taken a part against the legitimate Queen of Portugal, whose rights had been usurped by a violation of all engagements. As for the obligation of treaties, he asked whether they could bind tliia-couiitry to resist every attack on Portugal, right or wroll? Government, he main- tained, had done every thing to preserve neutrality. A British fleet had been sent out, at the request of British merchants, but orders were repeatedly given to preserve the strictest neutrality. Besides, British merchants in this country had a right to furnish arms, ammunition, &c., to any and to all parties in a country with which we were at peace, and they had done so. After entering into various details descrip- tive of the conduct which ministers had pursued, the noble lord reiterated his appeal to the candour of the house to reject the proposition before it. The Earl of AILERDEFN, the Earl of ELDON" and Lord WYNTORD, spoke in support of the motion, which was opposed by the Marquess of L.VNSDOWNE and" the Lord CHANCELLOR. Upon a division the numbers were, Contents 88 Non contents 68 Majority against Ministers 20 Lord KENYON then moved that the address be carried up and presented to his Majesty by the lords with white staves: agreed to.-Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 3. Petitions were presented on various subjects, a considerable part of them against the Irish Church Temporalities Hill. PRICE SKVENPENCK. Lord ALTHORP, in reply to a question from Mr. Goulburn, said it was not intended again to bring on, the Irish Church Reform Bill, until the question of colonial slavery should be disposed of. Col. EVANS enquired whether it was the intention of government to take any step-, for placing and sup- porting Donna Maria on the throne of Portugal. Lord PALMERSTON said that no such intention was at present entertained, but bis Mnjestv's govern- ment would watch the course of events, and act as circumstances ofjnstice and po.icy might direct, so as to establish again the corrint i-cial connection between this country and Portugal. Lord ASHLEY complained that a promise, made by his Majesty's ministers, that the instructions given tu the factory commissioners should be lititt on the tabl^ before thoaegnuttemen proceeded in their commission, had been violated. He also oalled<«pon the noble lord (Althorp) as an "honest man" to say .if he thought it right that the commissioBers shouWx?xelude lroin the plaee of their enquiry a shorl-hr.nd writer. Lord ALTHORP said the instructions given were to act with the utmost fairness. He did not say that the evidence ought not to be taken down by a short-hand writer, but that no part of it ought to be published till the whole were before parHament. The house went into a committee on COLONIAL SLAVERY. Afr. O'CONNELL contended that the emancipation of the slaves ought to take place immediately. The. revolution at St. Domingo had been referred to as an argument against emancipation, but that revolution had been brought about by the whites a4;d not by the blacks. If the negroes were emancipated, there would be no disposition to idleness, but they would exert tnemselves, like all other labourers, to earn their subsistence. The speech of the hon. member for Weymouth, the other night, had not been answered and why? because it was unanswerable. The hon. and learned gentleman, at great length, contradicted the statements advanced as showing that the negroes are not yet qualified for Ihe rational enjoyment of freedom, and alleged many instances to show the contrary. Lord SANDON, though no advocate for slavery, said that much exaggeration and misrepresentation had been used to make the public belirva that t'.ie slates were in a worse condition than they really were. In accomplishing the object of emancipation, care should be taken that it was done with safety to property and without detriment to the negro. The experiment which had been tried in Mexico and other places, formed 110 criterion for us for in those places the slaves formed a small proportion of the population; but in the British colonies they were a large majority. He was entrusted by a committee of West India proprietors to submit a resolution to the house oil this subject. (Hear, hear.) The committee had adopted the firit resolution of government, namely, to abolish slavery in the colonies. (Hear, hear.) The committee further proposed (hat the government should give to the planters, by way of compensation, the sum of 20 millions, and an advance of 10 millions, by way of loan. The noble lord proceeded to show that the plan of government would deprive the planters of at least one fourth of their properties. By acceding to the plan of the West India proprietors, bis Majesty's government would secure their active co-operation, without which, he cgutended, every pjdn must fail. The advance of20 millions would give security to the West India interest, while the loan of 1U millions would at once relieve the distress of the planters, enable them to carry the measure of government hi to effect, and secure the support of the West India proprietor*. It might be said that a grant of 20 millions was too much, but when the immerse property which was vested in West Indian produce was considered (amounting, he believed, to nearly lOJ millions^, he did not think it should be so considered. I The noble lord then read his resolutions. Mr. FITZGERALD considered the properly in slaves to have been so decidedly recognised by law, that he trusted the house would not infringe it without compensation. Adnil.FI,L,NII.NG spoke in very contemptuous terms of the members of the Honse of Assembly, and highly eulogised the general industry, demeanour, and good con uct of negroes who had been emaucipaled. Of a imaginable plans of emancipation, he considered that of the government to be the best, and-ihat of the noble lord to be the worst. Hy could not admit of the planters having a claim to compensation; and he trusted the house would pass this great measure in a manner worthy of the English people. S:r THOMAS GLADSTONE entered i-ito a detailed statement of facts, repeltin the imputations cast upoi him byihenoWIe lord (Howick), that the increase of sugar on his eslatehad been produced by the decrease of slaves. In B.trbadoes the cultivation of sugar was not prejudicial to life, for while there was an in- crease of produce there was a proportionate increase of population. Lord HOWICK assured the hon. member that he did not mean to throw any imputation ou him or on any one connected with him. With respect to the plan before the house, he was willing to pass the first resolution, as it recognised the principle of a speedy abolition of slavery but he could not assent to the two other resolutions, as it was only a prolongation of slavery fill- a definite period. Sir R. PEEL rose under an overwhelming sense of the difficulties with which the question was surround- ed. Of these the question of compensation w..s not the greatest tor England happily could afford 20 or 30 millions if that sum were nccessary. But betides the sacrifice of five millions in revenue, which-the colonies now afford, was the manifest (liffienlty of infusing into'the negro character that stimulus to in- dustry which was universally found to be wanting in that class of men. The very fact of the Kin»'sgoveni- ment having come forward to recognise the principle of emancipation, constituted a new era. In the reso lution of the right hon. genlleijvut (Mr. Stanley) he objected to the words immediate emancipation." because they raised an expectation which the subse- quent resolutions went to disappoint, lie would not however propose an amendment, for he thought the whole responsibility of the measure ought to rest with the government, who introduced, it. He was free (o confess that he was not sufficiently acquainted with colonial aftiiirs to initiate any measure of this nature. Mr. Burke, in considering this subject in 1798, had said that it was most important first to ascertain whether the slave was fit for his new state of freedom and it was for the house to consider whether the negroes were better qualified for emancipation at the present hour than when Mr. Burke spoke. In 1823, both Mr. Canning and the hon. member for Weymouth had conenned in the opinion that the slaves were not then qualified for freedom: and the hon. gentleman last named had not shewn that they were .more qualified now. A gallant Admiral had stated that in the Caraccas the negroes who had been emancipated had conducted themselves well; but it shou'd be remembered that ail negroes who were libe- rated had been forced to join in the war in Venezuela, and under the strictncss of mitt.ary discipline, had acquired'habits of subordination and good conduct. Besides, in the Caraccas the slaves formed only one-eighth of the population, whereas in the West Indies they were about nine-tenths, (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet then pointed out several dis- crepancies in the plan before the house and afterwards adverted to the enthusiasm with which the liberation had been urged on at St. Domingo and at Guadalouppj and to the fatal results with which it had been at- tended. In concluding a most admirable speech, he called upon the house to regard the question not in a pecuniary light, but as it affected the real welfare of the negroes in the British colonies, and, by every probable consequence, in all other places. Alter some farther discussion, Lord SANDoN with- drew his resolutions. Sir R. PEEL moved an amendment, that the reso. lution run, u that effectual means be taken to secure the ultimate al)olitioii of slavery." This amendment was afterwards negatived. The first resolution was afterwards put and agreed to.—Adjourned, <
