SLAVE TRADE.

In the House of Commons, on the 4th of April, Mr. Barham rose to call the attention of the House to a subject of great importance to the national honour and character, namely, the total abolition of slavery, by introducing the system of free labour into the West India possessions. To effect this he did not intend to interfere at all with the property of persons already possessed of slaves, over whom, however he might regret it, they had obtained a lawful authority; his plan was to abolish it by a slow, progressive, but certain degree, by introducing free labourers to fill up such vacancies as must naturally occur, and to endeavour to enlighten and cultivate the minds of those at present in slavery. This object, if obtained, would render these possessions more secure and more beneficial to their possessors, than they at present were; as, by introducing a class of labourers from a more civilized part of the world, improvement would be introduced also, and the planters would not be confined to one or two branches of cultivation, as they now are. This would render the possession more beneficial, and the increased civilization of the labourers would also render the possession more secure. The persons whom he wished to introduce were the Chinese labourers, the population of which country was so redundant, that he understood there were at present upwards of two hundred thousand of them, with their families, who would be happy to embark for the West Indies. - These persons, however, he would have perfectly free - free to come and free to return at pleasure. One regulation, however, he would have, namely, that no man should be admitted who did not bring his wife with him. If there should be objections, they might be discussed in a Committee. One or two of them, however, he would now advert to. One of them was, that it might be said such a measure would serve to unsettle the minds of the negroes. He (Mr. B.), however, thought it would have a contrary effect; that the persons so introduced would be considered as as [sic] additional European force, and would tend to keep them in a greater state of subordination. The plan which he had in view, he thought, would require no pecuniary aid from the Public, but merely for a short time a little countenance and encouragement; and if it should not be considered that the present was the moment when it should be adopted, yet, if it should now be digested, it would be ready for adoption whenever the period did arrive. The Honorable Member concluded by moving, that a Committee be appointed to consider the practicability and expediency of supplying the Colonies with free labourers from the East, and report to the House thereupon - which motion was put and carried.

[right pointing hand icon] It having been intimated to us, from a quarter, entitled to our highest consideration - that "enough has been said already;" and that we "had better decline the insertion of a reply to W. H. be it written by whom it may, as it would, perhaps, cause a rejoinder of such a nature (considering the present temper and evident intentions of that writer) as would lead, in the end, to a total suppression of the paper it appears in." We, therefore, having no personal animosity towards the Conductor, must request A COMMENTATOR, (whose end, even as it is, has been completely answered, viz. the ridiculing of "a low-bred man, who wishes to pass for a great man - an ignorant man, who wishes to pass for a scholar - and a stupid man, who wishes to pass for a clever fellow!") to accept this, as an apology for not fulfilling our promise towards him; and to a REVEALER of SECRETS, a VINDICATOR and several other Persons we have received communications from - we can only return our thanks.
As for W. H. we leave him to that "contempt and abhorrence," his disgustingly vulgar, illiberally personal, and scandalously scurrilous productions have inspired! - and the Conductor we also leave to make his peace with those Gentlemen, who are in the habit of subscribing to his paper, and assisting with papers, and whom, in return, he has permitted to be disgusted and insulted.
