MR. W. OAETWEIGHT

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he could state at what date the distribution may be expected of the Slave Trade Papers, Class A, which were laid formally upon the Table of the House as long ago as August last year, and the early distribution he promised on April 23rd?

MR. BOURKE

, in reply, said, that they would be laid on the Table next week. Their publication had been delayed to obtain verbal explanations of two or three Despatches from our Minister at Madrid relative to the slave trade at Cuba and Porto Rico.
