(Hear, hear) He would first alude to ‘the practice of taking captured slaves into Havana. Her Majecty’s cruisers bad vo option on the subject, because it was provided by treaty that there should be two mixed court+—one of them in the colonial possession of Spain, ‘the other un the coast of Africa; and a naval officer, on effecting a capture was bound by his instructions to take his prize either to Havapa or Sierra Leone, according as his judgment might direct him.

Of the versels to whieh his noble friend bac ailuded—those taken by Captain Hami!ton— ‘two of them bad been condemned by the court at Havana. ge) ‘With respect to the present Captain-General, lordships would not expect him to make any warm defence of that cficer’s conduct, but still they would not be indisposed to Lear anything that could be said in jus- tifeation or in vindication of his conduct. Thinking it of gieat importance thst the country should be as fully infoimed as possible of these matters, he would refer their ordsbips to two or three despatches which had recently been received by Her Majesty’s go- vernment. first was from the Spanish Mini ter for Foreign Affairs, who said he thought it ex pedient to state that General Canedo had told him sgmong other things that he was making, and intending ‘to make, ry possible effort, even to the prejudice of the ether exige.cies of the service, for extioguishiug the alave trade, and he expected the slave deslers would be eompelled to desist from their unlawful ayocations. Now, if this statement had not been followed by some actions somewhat corroborative, he should not have thought it worth while to waste their lordship’s time by resdisg it. But he had just received despatch from Lord owten, containing a letter from the new Minister for Foreiga Affairs, cated May 2, in which some credit was given to the intentions of the General. The writer stated that, in consequence of the recent and peremptory in- structions lately sent to the Captain General in Cuba, directing “him te spare no exertions to obtain the extizction ef the trafic, a long communication bad been received, in which, after tefercing to the steps already taken. he reports s new and energetis measure. Ii is stated that every means which could be re-orted to sgainst the dealers in slaves having been exhausted, the Captain General, prompted with a esire to obtain the total extinction of the slave trade; bas not hesitated to adopt an extreme measure, for which the law offers scarcely any foundation. His noble friend had a!luded to the law of 1805, which forbids the sutboritics from pursuing negroes who have ouee crossed the limite of the proprietor’s estate. The measure al- luded to in the despatch con-isted of instructions sent to wernors of all the districts in the island, tothe effect | © it when it is suspected that in any plantations newly ‘imported n ‘tienary shail be allowed to search such plantation, and earry off such slaves and place them at the disposal of the Captain-General, The despatch concluded by expressing @ Lope that her Majesty’s government would consider this a clear declaration, that no means would be spared to put an end to the traffic. That was only the promise of what was about to be done. But he had this afernoon received a letter from Lord Howden, whose zeal on the question nad never flagged, (hear, hear,) stating that ihe Captaiz General, acting upon this announce- ment, had gove upon certain estates where he believe he should find some newly imported ne groes, who had been landed from some of the slavers which had escaped the vigilance of our eruivers, andghad ‘been able to bring wway 100, (Hear, bear.) He di mean to ssy thet he had any great confidence in, or anti- eipated any great reform from, the Captain-General, but he certainly dit sopear dispo-ed to act with more honesty towarde this country, and with more consistency to the honcr of his own, than he bad formerly done, and he had thought it right to mention there facts to their lordshigs. [Hear, hear. He bad only further to advert ty auother int mentioned by his noble friend—that of the eman pacer Whether the measure was great or small. wheth was all we bud « right to expect, whe'her it would con- fer the benefit to be desired, i: suould be recollected thas it was a measure for which we bad beeu constantly ask- ing ; and Lord Howden, in his despatch, said he had rest caticfacticn in stating that the Spauith government had agreed to a set:lement of the question respecting the emancipados of Cubs. They would be allowed to remain im the island if it suited them, that certaia of them would be liberated at the completion of their five years servi- tude, and that the others who did not come iu these cata- g2ries would be Lberated at the expiracion of the time of their service, and sconer if possible. Therefore to a cer- tain extent the Spanish government had gone beyond its obligations. [Hear, hear] His noble friend had expressed a hope that the Spanish government might become more slive to a sence of its own hoaor and more cispored to listen to the recommendation of ber Majesty’s government. Two or three days ago he received a despatch from Lord Howden, which he thought of some importance. In that despatch his lord- ship said that be bad had ac nversation with the minis- ter,'and had now the pleasure cf stating that there was s ew and growing desire on the part of Spain to listen to the just eapostulations of England. He hsd also the satisfaction of stating that a report had been forwarded to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, recommentiog that ‘wcditional powers should be son’erred on the Captain- Genera! of Cuba, for the purpose of giving bic additional facilities for the discharge of bis duty. That was the first time apy such measure had emanated from what might be called the Spanish colocial officer.

All com- | mupication with that place seemed cut off. There ap- peared no doub: of the rebel force investing the city, and @ report was current that ene of the outer gates had been forced. Among the various reports circulated, there was & prevailing one that Keshen, the former Viceroy of Can- ton, had made a = successful attack on the rebel foree with the imperial troops, about one hundred and fifty miles from Nankin, in’ which many thousands of the rebels were said to have suffered. Nearer Nan- kin. at Taepivg, the imperial force is also said to have defeated the rebels with great loss of This news re- quires confirmation. The high Mandarin at Shanghae engaged four vessels. fully equipped, to proceed up the Yangteebiang to reinforce Chekiangfeo ie Bombay Times gives further statements:—On the 16th March most urgent despatebes were received from the Governor of Nankin by the Chinese Governor of Sbanghae, requiring him to implore the foreigu consuls to send immediate assistance to Nankin, and stating that unless foreign sid were afforded, and immediately, the city must fail into the hands of the rebels, by whom it was clorely inverted both by land and water. A fleet of imperial junk, sesisted by hired Portuguese armed cor: chas, which bad been tent up the river to oppose the progress of the insurgents, had been overpowered by the rebel flotilla ; and the laiter, sailing down the Yangt- sekiang, bad anchored without opposition, immediately opposite Narkin. The division of the revolutionary army investirg the place by land is stated to be 30,060 strong, ard increasing. Several days before this, the Chinere government had also applied for assistance to Sir C. Eoulsm, the British Commissioner at Hong Kong. Sir Charles accordingly departed in Her Majesty’s steam- ship Hermes, on the 13th of March, for Shanghae, but hed not szrived there when the mail left. Her Majes- fy’ steanoship Salamander, and the ship Lily, were itady there.

On all these points our information is somewhat Imperfect; matters may lock better, but it is quite posstble also that they may look werse by next despatch, and there is no getting over the fact that additional troops have been sent for ex- press, ond the steamers of the Indian navy, expected eight montha ago, have ven detained, and are now receiving additions! medical officers from Bom- bay.

The ship was to leave yesterday for Liverpool. We learn from some of the passengers that after leavin, the Cape they hada very good run as fax as the line, with favorable winds ull the way. Almost immediately after sing the line they got into the northeast trades, and in consequence of that, instead of the ship keeping slong the coast of Africa, she was driven much to the west- | ward, and the wind delayed her very much. Being short of provisions, she was compelled to put into Fayal, but cole remained there about thirty-six hours.

The accommodations at Meluourne are very scanty indeed, and not by any means equal to the wants of the large masses of people that are constantly pouring into it from all parts of the world.

The list of patronesses of the ooncert of Miss | Greenfield, placed at the head of the programme yesterday, is as follows:—Her Grace the Duchess of Southerland, her Grace the Duchess of Norfolk, her | Grace the Duchess of Beaufort, her Grace the Dachess of Argyl’, the Most Noble the Marchloness of Ailes- | bury, thé Most Noble the Marchioness of Kildare, | the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Karl and Counters of,Shaftesbury, the Earl of Catlisle, tl Countess of Jersey, the Countess Granville, the Countesi of Wilton, the Viscofintess Palmerston, the Lady Con- stance Grosvenor, and Mre. Harriet Bescher Stowe. Un- | der such ieous the délwdante could hardly fail of se- | curing o farhionable audience for the reserved seats. while curiosity filled the other benches. Miss ‘Greenfield sang no less than five songs, and took part in a duet. Tne two tongs which we heard were quite aifferent in ch: ter, and demonrtrated pretty fairly the extent of Miss Greenfield’s powers. They amount to this, that she has | a vcice and some feeling for ssnging pathetic ballads, but nothing wore, aud nothing ele. Her organ is a Clear soprano, of considerable power, and » wide range, a6 two notes she sang, high and low in the vocal gamut, emonstrated; but it is utterly untrained, and her attempt to ting « eacred cong—Himmel’s “Sound the Trumpet,” where the melody is not #0 appa- rent asin “Home, Secet Home’—and to give a high Tubping pessene er two whch occurs in the composi- tion, resulted in an utter failure.

They bad placed before Miss Greenfield a not easy song, in which she failed, while the other compositions allotted to her did not exhibit—the only quality she has to show, ax ap indivioual capability—a great range of voice. ‘Whether it be intended to train Miss Greenfield to vocal- isw, we ure not aware; at present her voice is perfectly uncultivated, and she continually sings shsrp, oy fiom a eertain natural shrillness of tone which distia- nishes the organ. What its actual compass may be, we ad no means of knowing; but we hear that Sir George Smart, hile advising her not te devote hereelf to # pro- fersional attention to. music, acknowledged the range of her voice. At any rate, we would counse] no more con- certs until Miss Gree field’s yocalism be educated by long study and hard practice: and then we have our fears, again, that public cvriosity would be blunted, and that | nO ope would go to bear a Vocalist, not because she wasa | first rate artist, but because she was @ woman of color. | It was that fact, end the influence of the patronage which | filled the Hanover square rooms yesterday; but we do not think that a species of the experiment would be equally successful, Markets.
