To the House of Lords, on the 16sh of July, Lord BRovGiam, at the request of the Lord Chancellor, Conmsented to postpone till the following day his meiion ‘with respect to the A’rican slave trade, upon the under- standing that precedence should be then given to it.

Her Majesty’s government bad not bad sufficient time to consider iis terms He regretted that (bere should have been a necessity for postponing it eveu fore single ¢ay, (Hear, bear.) It wasa subject which attracted & great dea! of aitention out of doors, and had been aireaty dircussed fu the other House. Lord Brovedam bad so doubt that after thé remarks which bad fallen from the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs the Houge would give a precedence w his LORD RROUGHAM’S SPHRCH ON BRTALY OF THE AFRICANS, In the House oi Lords, ou the 17tacf July, Tae Maiquis of CLannicarpe, who had @ notice upon the the paper oi his {:tention to presept a petidion from Guie- Ba, praying for the removal of certain impeciments to the importation of free laborers iu o that coloay, said that ae ‘would give way to bia nobie and learned friend, believing that the diecassion of this subject would be favorable to the viowe of the petitioners Lord Brovoaam, in iistagto move an address on the subject of the africen slave trade, said that when he con #ldered the very greatimportance of the question which he was about 0 bripg before their lordships he could nov avoid expreesing his agreeable rurprise at finding so many ‘of ibetr jordehips now present; for tae subject bad novhing to do with party—it bad pothing personai to recommend ii —itbad pone of those peints that generally created a gathering toge her, ho would not say in 0th houses, but tn tbat of the Boureof Pariament. It rataer belonged to ‘that clase of questions of which Mr. Canning once said, “Vital questions, as they are called, are those questions which nobody cares two straws about '’ He could noi say, however, that the present question came witbin thai ‘or there was both in Parliament and out of ‘Ma very strong feeling; «s well as a deeply roo ed convic tion of the importance of toe subject, which be should vow proceed shorily to bring before their lordship. It was ‘with very great pain and n> litde astonishment that he ‘iret heard of the measures lately be pa ia France. He feli perfectly agsured that the sovereign of that country ‘war wholly incapable of lending bis countenance to any measures that tended to revive the African slave trade. ‘Hoe said eo in the firat place on account of his family con. nection with him who firstin France abolished that exe Crabie traffic. The “most Christian Kings’? bad, one after another, allowed that traffic to continue and even to (oar ish, and had, indeed, all the while enceuraged (nsterd of Suppressicg it. It was reserved for the first Napoleon to do that act of bis life which reflected the most honor upon kim—he would say, indeed, the only act of bis which he showed himself the friend of human rights and human liberties It was reserved for him at once aud forever to abolish the African slave trade. He cocld not, therefore, believe that he who so paturaliy prided himself upon bis near relationship to that greatand distinguished lodividval would take @ different course, and lend his countenance to messi with respect to which he bad — 'y been ill advised, deceived and misicd. The peror of the French doubt believed that the pro ject in q estion bad none of that tendency to the revi ral Of the s.ave trade, whch be thought he could prove to their lordsbips, without doubt or qugation, it possnssed, He could not beleve it possibia that pis Imperial Majesty bac been otherwise than misiod, migizformed. and de coy2: When he considered ibory if very wat surrounded <2’ OY shout his Impériat Srsenty ‘>, aku 10 whom he had given inec- Clesiastica malers, och of his confdenco—namely, thote ministers of religion to whore policy bis [mporial Mayeet™ »comed inclined to lean—be felt certain that ther WAP’, rave told him of the oifences committed by slave ders being ranged in tho denunciations of Ho'y Writ ‘Win tho mort Bateful and disgusting crimes of watch min could be guilty—crimes to wbich be dared not even allade except to say that they wore not worse tran the slave trate.

Now, auch @ scheme as that must end in a renewal of the in ternal African slave trade. From the representations ‘which bad been made to nim by @ learned friend of his, Mr. Fiizpatrick, who filled the tmportant office of judicial assessor on the Gold Coast for a period of six y who was (boro: acquainted with Meesrs.

OUR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENCE. Liverroon, July 18, 1867. Over Ten Hundred Miles of the Cable Oviled on the Niaga' a —Progress of the Work— Visit of the Prince Napoleon (o tha Ship—His Reception, de. The work of taking the cable on board the Niagara is progressing so rapidly, that over tom hundred miles of it ‘has been coiled in somewhat less than fourteen days, and We are getting on at present at the rate of from eighty to ninety miles every twenty four bours. There are four circles for its reception, threefof which, a8 you have been already informed, are in the fore part of the ship and one in the afer part, and all of which {t was expected would afford abundant space for the twelve hundred and fifiy miles we bave undertaken to lay. Our engineer, Mr. Eve reti, had drawn outa diagram ghowing the parts of the vessel in which the colls were to be made, and a sketob of which with all the detalis was transmitted tothe Haratp, but the engineer of the'Telegraph Company, as I after- wards informed you, considered that four circles would be evfficient, and concluded to dispense with the fifth, - ‘That diagram roprecented the five coll plan according to the following table, giving not only their position, but the number of miles in each coll:— Fors Cons. ‘The coll in the hold. Col! on the main deck Coll oa the criop deck Total number of miles tu all the coil*,. Tt has turned out, however, that there was a mistake in the calculation of Mr. Brignt, the engineer of the Telegraph Company, and that the fifih col! could not be dispensed with, ag he bad supposed. He was under the impresston, doubtloss, that the cable which bad been manufactured at Birkenbead, opporite Liverpool, was of the same thicknors as that made at Greenwich; but it has since appeared, from praciical experience, from the Isying of the coll, that {ta dia meier is is greater from an eighth to a quarter ofan inch. It 1s this ai‘ference in the size of wo por- tions of the cable that bas reodered the meking of a fifth lutely necessary. This coll will be commenced and will take about one -bundred and is nearly completed at the Greenwich factory, willbe taken on board the Agamemnon to the place of whish rendezvous, where we wiil take our portion of it. This will be fifteen miles long, and will weigh altogether, seventy five tous, or five tons to the matle. Tm the foregoing table I have given you the proportion- ate cizes of the different coils, according to the first calcula- tion, Dut as you willsee from the following, that caloula- tion has been contiderably modified: — Cail in the fore hold... Coil on the fore orlop dec!

The circle on the fore main deex, in which, tated in the table above, there arc 210 miles, will contain as mucn as 860 when finishec, | leaving about 100 to be coiled en the new circle, whicd is | now ready, and in which the Sretileke of the oable will be laid to-morrow. There remain 260 miles more to be coiled; and, as this can be accomplished in six days at tt utmoet, we ought to be ready to leave Liverpool by 26th inst., which allows margin of two days. machwery, bowever, is not all up, and it may be that our departure ‘wiil be delayed till the Ist of mext monih, Jnaging from the slow progress which has been made. Agamemncn hag 1,100 miles on board, and although she commenced coiling about two weeks before oar ship, it is though; we wil be ready for sea and start for Cork about the eame time Her portion of the cable, as you have been already informed, is coiled in the one circle, which wil! throw the whc le weight and strain on one place, "there was a meeting a fow days ago in Lond was a Di afew ago in jon, of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, at which the * where the two ebips are to joiu the ends of the cable was discuss- ed.

The Double Headed Constitutional Convention—The Republé- cans Hard at Work—The Democrats not yet Organized, die. The proceedings of the Cozstitutional Convention of thie Territory still continue highly interesting and unique. In the republican camp matters have been going oa very quietly, and they are making quite rapid progress in the formation of a constitution—their policy being to finish up their work as soon as possible, and go before the: people. Tile democrats, however, have adopted quite s differeat system of tactics. ‘Lay the foundations broad and deep,”” is tae motto on which they are acting. The groat point on which tho battle will be fought, is that first day’s prooeed- ings, when, according to democratic authority, the convea” 'ioa adjourned and went over into the,counci! chamber, where the convention ‘still remains an unorganized body’ and according to republican authority the convention didn’t adjourn, but is still in session in the same hall, busily en- gaged in the concoction of Minnesota fundamental law. I tay this is the great question to be desided, and the demo- rats, like old tacticians as they are, have determined to make sure of sticking a pln right there bsfore they pro- ceed furtber, It is true they have met with somo slight obstacies in the way of completing their organization and going on with the work of making constitution. Only fifty four members have as yet made their appearance, which is just a motety ef the convention, but not aquorum. The ablest men among them believing that a quorum is unnecessary in the constitution of such a body, and’ espe- cially in consideration of tne fact that the rejurus-show the moiety to represent 1,600 majority of the popular vote of the Territory, ure for going on and fr ng the ZR ; but two or three weak bre! , afraid of adopting new precedents, refuse to assist in a miuority organization, and therefore it bas been thougat betier to wait for the 56th man to come in. Ip the meantime, however, 4 are performing a grand coup d'état, the effect of which be to give them a position before the world, by passing jlemn act of excommunication of their republican - . On Wednescay the 22d, Judge Flandrau, the recent appoitee to the Supreme Benoh of the territory, offered the following preamble and reso utions :-— ‘Whereas, There is ollicial evidence, t the Committee on Credentials, that theta fst manjocity or 4 = elected members to the Constitutional Con Q ot perevee capitol, styling (hemselves the of par ena Convention,” is widhout the anthority oflaw oe ve usage. revolutionary: te character, therefore should not be recogulzea oy the electors Tereitory, nor ihe olleers of the general oF Territorial ‘covers assemblage the hepreseniatives’ ball of this “Constitutional ‘The Judge supported his resolutions, in a than an hour and a balf, of more than’ aval ability. next day ex Governor Gorman foliowed in a three hours’ speech, Faerun be ant exty sroned the revelstienary and unlawful proceedings of the black republicans in the con- jaction of all bat vention to the the dangerous tendency of black republicans eaid the conduct of that party now in Mindesota was sim- ply carrying out the vamame issued from abroad, and executed here under especial direction of Senator who was in St. Anthony on the day of idcates to Trumbull, of Illinois, Clection, and gave direction for issuing certi Lepublican minority delegates. the Governor furthor announced that the aforesaid pro- gramme exteused to the transfer of the entire stock im rade of the “ freedom shriekers”’ from Kaneas to Minue- rota, inciuling the Emigrant Aid Societies, woich were to their bords of abolitionists to overrun tho Territory to the ulter demolition of every thing like good order or Gemocratic principles.
