On Wednesday, at the instance of Mr. How, mv. Cobden was discharged from attendance on the Slave-trade Committee. Mr. Batt then moved that Mr. Cardwell, Sir G. N. Buxton, and Viscount Brackley, be added to the Committee. Viscount Palmerston concurred in the suggestion of the last two names; but objected—with the most respectful deference—to the name of Mr. Cardwell, as Member for a constituency which in many ramified ways, though. happily, he believed, not in any direct way, had interests mixed up with the continuance of the slave-trade. Mr. CARDWELL warmly vindicated Li- verpool from this imputation; and was in the midst of a rejoinder imputing strong official bias the opposite way to Lord Palmerston, when the SPEAKER noticed that it was six o'clock, and adjourned the Rinse. On Thursday, Lord PALMERSTON withdrew his objection; and the name of Mr. Cardwell, after some coy demurring on his part, was added.
