Afte: ting that the admission of ihe sugar of Cuba and Brazil would stimulate the slave trade, give it a fresh impetug, he proceeded to show, on the authority of Lor Palmerston, that the trade is not far from being extinct. He quoted a speech made by the noble Lord in July, 1883, on the subject of the slave trade, and then gave the following official result : In the course of the last year, between the months of Apriland November, we captured either 37 or 47 slave vessels on the coast of Afnea. We putan increased force cn the stations along that coast, and the result was that no leses than 37 or 47 ves- sels were captured. Inthe year 1844, as compared with the year 1843, the number of captured veesels adjudicated upon by the Mixed Commission Court was, in 1843, 15 vessels; and, in 1844, 35 vessels This was the consequence of the more vigorous measures we adopted, so far asthe detention of vessels is concerned. 1 am afraid, however, that the number of vessels captured is a very aati: test, for [ fear that the number of negroes landed in the Brazils and in Cuba has not diminished (hear, hear,) and this is not our fault, but the fault of the authorities of those countries, who have not discountenanced but encouraged this traffic. There is, indeed, an apparent inconsistency in permitting the importation ot cotton from a country where it is cultivated by slave labor, and then denying the importation of sugar from the same countries be cause it is cultivated by like labor. It is, sir, diffi: eult to take any course in which there is not some inconsistency, (cheers from the opposition) and | do not suppose that any one will advise the total prohibition of cotton from entering this country ; and yet cotton is the produce of slave labor. But the question is, whether the importation of sugar from Cuba and the Brazils will not be a great curse to the African race, and whether the horrors of the slave trade and of slavery will not be aggravated by the permanent importation of sugar, the produce ot those two countries, into thiskingdom. Jf that be so, it was not a question whether there willbe a slight inconsistency in permitting the imporiation of cotton, but whether the course you pursue will be fair with reference to the interests of humanity, so deeply concerned in it, to our own acts, and te the engagements we have entered into with other powers, to establish a police on the coast of Africa and to attempt a suppression of the slave trade (Loud cheers.) He referred to the growing feeling onthe pait of France, Sweden and Denmark, to follow the example of England in abolishing slavery throughout their dominions, and stated thet even in the United States the feeling against it was on the increase. Lord Patmarston recapitulated several of the arguments used by preceding speakers, insisting particularly upon the shabby manner in which the present government had given up the right of search to the United States—a measure which deprived our cruisers of the best means which [they poesess- ed for suppressing the slave trade. The committee then divided, when there appear- ed—against the amendment 236; for it 142; ma- jority against it, 94. ‘THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. Lord Howick—No man abominated the slave- trade more than he did, or was more anxious to sce it suppressed ; but, at the same time, he could not help agling himself what had been the result of all ourefforts to do away with it. For thirty years we had persevered in those efforts ; for thir- ty years we had endeavored to keep the police of the seas, and to prevent the slave trade from being carried on ; and what has been the result? He firmly believed that we had not in any degree di- minished the extent of the slave traue, while we had certainly aggravated greatly its horrors: and he therefore did think it became us seriously to con- sider whether this was a policy in which we ought to persevere. Last year they were told by her #Majesty’s Government that new measures were to be adopted for more chee ay Dceeaclte the coast of Africa, and hopes were held out of greater success to our future efforts for the suppres- sion of the slave trade. He was not prepared to object to the trial of these means, if there were any ration- al hope of their success; but he confessed for hisown part, that he entertaineda great doubt of their being so successfulas it was anticipated they would be. He believed,that while there was such a strong in- terest engaged in the slave-trade, and while the government of those countries by the people of which it was carried on did not endeavor to sup- press it, all our efforts to put anend to the trade would be fruitless. He believed it to he impossible by any vigilance or activity on the part of naval cruisers to suppress a smuggling trade of this kind, carried on along the whole coast of a continent, over a epace of thousands of miles, and where it was easy to baffle the utmost vigilance that coula be employed. He confessed he could not help feel- ing some suspicion that more success would follow from a different couree ; he could not help believ- ing, if we were no longer to take on ourselves the task ot keeping the police of the seas, but were to The only alterations neceseary will be for the pur- pose of applying the small steam-power and a screw propelier to assist them in light winds or calms, which greatly prevail amongst the ice of Baffin’s Bay. This can soon be done. The officere, we believe, are not yet, but will of course be immedi- ately appointed. The intended route is through Barrow Straits, between Cape Walker and Banke’s Land, and thence to the continent of America to the westward of Woollaston Land. They will still be able to take two years provisions: though the steam apparatus and coals will not admit of their taking three years complete, as on former Arctic voyages. Heaven prosper them, and enable them to complete a geographical survey honorable to the character of the greatest naval nation that ever ex. isted on the face ot the earth !—Literary Guzette.

Spain. i % The Madrid journals are chiefly oceupied with a new conspiracy, said to have been discovered at Vittoria, and which the government have deemed of sufficient importance to send General Conchato suppress. One party represents the emeute as fa- voring Espartero, and the other describes it as a Carlist conspiracy. Several of the conspirators have been arrested. The affair appears, however, to have been grossly exaggerated. A quarrel has arisen between the Queen-Mother and Narvaez. General Prim had jbeen pardoned, and ordered to reside at Madrid. __ ; Some sensation has been created in the Spanish capital by the receipt of letters from London, men- tioning that General Espartero had sent a hostile messe ge to the Spanish ambassador, because of some rudeness to Madame Espartero in his excellency’s chapel, who, perhaps unconsciously, hed taken possession of that part of the gallery usually assign- ed to the ambassador. : ‘ The Spanish ministry is seriously endeavoring to put an end to slavery.

She ap- plied to Heera Singh for some command of trust for her brother, and was backed: in her demand so warmly by the council of the army, usual on such occasions, that Heera got alarmed, and put off the maiter until next dey, before daylight phwhith he was on his way with 800 troops, to some place in the vicinity of Jumboo. The Khalsa troops in La- hore, on hearing nie pursued him, and on coming up, killed him, Jella Pundit, and several! others of the rajah’s adherenta, The heads of the rejah and Jella Punditwere broughtto Lahore,and carried in proces- sion round the streets. The next day, salutes were fired, and the mother of the maharajah held a dur- bar. The eaiae government had, it was believ- ed, no idea of interfering in this instance, though the time may not be far off when it will be obliged to do go. A revolution had taken place also in Nepaul.— The rajah had promised to abdicate in favor of his son. When the time came, he refused; on which the gon, assisted by some chiefs, deposed him.— The new rojah is only 17 years old, aad an idiot. The Government would be compelled to interfere. The war, however, was expected to be one of di- plomacy rather than of arma. There had been rather a serious disturbance at Heng abe in consequence of a registration decree issued by Government, which was resisted by the Ho eee, who, in an sddroam to the council, atyled it as “iniquitous, arbitrary, ugrons*-ational and despotic.” A read deal of st was the result between Government and the Europeans, as the former refused to answer the address. Three thousand Chinese left the Island, and at last the government deemed it fit to ‘amend and modify” the registration ordinance. There were still, how- ever, some articles in the ‘*modified” decree which were objectionable; for instance, that of obliging all Chinese vessels to report themselves immediately, and to register their passengers with- in twenty-four hours. ‘Lhe consequence of this is, that while Macao is crowded with junks, few or none have come to Hong-Kong. Most of the Chi- nese who leit the island had, however, returned. The lait that the Emperer had abdicated in favor of a near relation is totally without confirm- ation. The report also of his expected death is equally so. lt is denied that Colonel Outram was supersed, but that he resigned voluntarily. Australia. We have Hobart ‘fown and Launceston papers with dates a few days later than those last received. The markets were s'eady, and the trade improving. The crop of woolin Sydaey is reported to be abuu- dant. A considerable shock of an earthquake had been felt at Flanders Island ; w phenomenon rather rare in the Australian group. Theatricals, &. There has been quite an excitement in the thea- trical circles of London by the appearance of Miss Cushman on the British stage. This lady made her debut in the character ot ‘* Bianco,” in Mil- man’s tragedy of ‘Fazio” at the Princesses thea- tre. The following are a specimen of the opinions of the different papers on her performances. The Sun of the 14th ult., says of this lady: America has long owed us a heavy dramatic debt for enticing a from us se many of our best actors. She has now more than repaid it by giving us the greatest of actresses,|Miss Cushman. This!lady made her first eppear- ance before an Englieh audience, at Princess’s theatre, last evening,and since the memorable first appearance of Edmund Kean, m 1914,Jnever has there been such a debut on the boards cfan English theatre, She is, without ex- ception, the very first actress that we have. True we have very lady-like, accomplished, finished artistes, but there is a wide and impassable gulf between them and Miss Cushman—the gulf which divides talent,even of the very highest order, from genius—that god like gift is Miss Cushmen’s, strictly speaking. She is no artiste, or ifshe be, her’s that highest reach of theart ars celare ar- tem, Another London paper says : Miss Cushman is not only endowed with first rate ta- lent, but she has genius withal, and we do, in all since- tity hope, that she will long remain to delight the love! of in ‘ing by a display of her extraordinary pow- highly gifted person, and we cennot afford ‘We trust we have shown that where talent exists, we are not chary of praise.

The Provisional Government were dieplaying great activity; and, to check the manceuvres of their opponents, they had just dismissed the director of the areenal, and the superintendent of the post- office. According to these advices, no disorders have attended the Lausanne movement; but an- other Paris print (Ze Globe) publishes a letter, which states that, on the two nights that preceded and followed the resignation of the Council of State, the trees of the fine promenade of Lausanne were burnt; a churcn was converted into a guard- house ; one of the rioters was killed by a cannon ball; and two citizens were stabbed, fer having merely expressed their disapprobation of the move- ment. The Provisional Government had convoked for the 24th ult. the electoral assemblies charged with choosing the members of the new Grand Council, which was to meet at Lausanne on the 3d of March. _ The canton of Berne has recognized the revolution at Lausanne, and entered into cor- respondence with the Provisional Government.

The Grand Counci: of Geneva voted, on the 15th, the instructions to its deputies in the diet, as drawn up by the Council of State, by a majority of 111 against 35. Those instructions not being agreeable to the radical party—since they laid no injunction on the deputies to vote forthe expulsion ot the Jesuits—considerable agitation prevailed throughout the town on that day, and an ineffectual attempt was made to get up a disturbance.

Mr. Rogsvcx lately put a question in regard to Canada affairs, referring to a despatch from Lord Stanley to the Governor General of Canada, con- veying the thanks of the Imperial Government to a returning officer for the election of candidates to represent the city of Montreal in the Provincial House of Commons—the conduct of that officer be- iog now under investigation before that House, and the election return contested. Mr. G. W. Hops replied, that the noble lord had felt it his duty to transmit a dispatch, conveying his own expression of approbation of the conduct ot Mr. Young, and not her Majesty’s thanks—that it was the opposition candidate, and not the govern- ment one, who told the Stipendiary Magistrate he thought it would be advantageous to commence polling under military protection. _ Toxacco Duttzs.—Mr. Hawkes wished to direct the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to a recommendation which had been made, and to an expectation which was generally entertained that some alteration would be made in the tobacco duties, and to ask if it was the intention of govern- ment to make any such alterations ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer was aware that great anxiety existed on the subject, and was, there- fore, much obliged to the honcrabje gentleman for having put to him the question. He wes aware that it had been recommended that a differential duty should be imposed, so as to make a distinc- tion between leat tobacco and the other sorts of tobacco. But he had to state that it was not the intention of the government to make any altera- tion at present inthe duties on tobacco. ‘The New British Tariff.
