The question of subsistence begins to be debated. tickAlle Nationale of this morning says We th it right to call the most serious attention. Abe government 'o the quec ion of food. The information ieh we recei‘e from some del artmenta with respect to the rot is not very favourable, and it is not among ourneigh sr that we could hope to tied resources to make up the sufficiency of our supply of corn. We every day see in the 4lish journals the expression of the fears caused by the yew in the potatoes, and distinctly declare that Ireland e l; be far from b ing able to provide for her own consump ,e. At our gate* Be.gium has just prorogued to 31st De ber the free entry ot wheat, rye, barley, buckwheat, In ,. c ora, been', vetches, peas, oats, fecula of potatoes, pots 'Ariel, dried, s ecedes, salted meat, and there is even a 00 0 question of prohibiting the exportation of grain. In ostriceof these symptoms and warnings, there would be o gbisg worse then negligence in not endeavouring to ogil France against the consequences of a possible insufli fey el the horses'. The government must obtain an exact oat of what our agricultural departments will • livid, allot expose itself to the reproaches which were made two , o , go, with more or les justice, against the old &di:Mills _ es% . is said that General Cavaignar, on hearing of ,wipe of Caumicliere and Louis Blanc, said, " So pal the better; it is one difficulty the less it our way." The approaching election for the department of the haul', rendered vacant by the election of M. Leis *, baring been annulled by the Assembly, is much li ed of. The legitimists are very numerous in dt department. M. de Genonde, editor of the it:die de France, widch has just been suppressed, / ods to offer himself as a candidate. He will not, peter, be supported by the legitimist party, who dad to propose NI. de Graseet, former deputy, who d , pys high consideration there. M. de Larcy is to re to-morrow, to promote this election. la consequence of the indisposition of M. Marrast, d amended draft of the constitution was.not read. slay.. It is expected that it will be presented to- OW. re port is current to - day that the troo p s en *pedcat La Chapelle have made serious complaints iteir food, and are disposed to visit their grievance stbe republic, a lainst which they exclaim violently. telegraghic despatch, as to a demonstration of border at Lyons, was received to-day, which is con eared to be somewhat grave, since it occasioned a avocation of a council of ministers fcr to-day. The entire parties of the Rue de Poitiers, a great Ft of that of the Institute, and some members of the naion of the l'slais Royale, have resolved to vote the dissolution of the lissembly after passing the so of the constitution. lbw's just heard that the Committee on the Colonies sd Justice, which have been engaged to-day on the ! Nation as to the transportation of the insurgents to ,feria, have determined on that colony. The oom ore under the presidence of the Minister of Marine slso decided in the same manner. Oa receiving the deputation of the journalists yes es*, General Cavaignac spoke unreservedly of the Mrs which the threatened outbreak of the legiti sists excited in hie mind. He spoke of entire bee line of the national guard which were ready to illy round that cause, but declared that he weld use all the powers with which he we invested to establish the republic. " I el not," said he, " a republican of the eve, and I ins faithfully served Louts Philippe. If I said the witrary, all my acts would belie my words.

ITALY. The Opinione of TM of 23rd has advices from the Lego Mafrgiore up to the 18th. At that ate Garibaldi was at Varese, intending to effect his fiaction with Col. Apice and Gen. Griffini by the contains of the Lake of Como. The population of those districts are remarkable for their hatred against the Austrians, and give the troops of those leaders miry assistance in their power. The Venice Ga...tte of the 16th publishes two decrees of the provisional government ; the first =nag a council of war for the defence of the cy and fortress of Venice, consisting of Rear admiral Bua, Colonel Milani, Lieutenant-Colonel Moe, Major Mt zzachpo, and Lieutenant Mainardi, t the Marne. The se and orders, on pain of con- Swaths' and arri at, all the gold and silver in Vera:* to tri brought to the Mint 48 hours. The Mint is eirected to give receipts, to be afterwards exchanged far loan certificates bearing interest. The pri. eine] inhabitants of Purina, Placentia, Mo dena, and It. ggio, have addressed a protest to the Sardinian mitisiry against that part of the armistice with Austria which declares that the towns and for tresses on the Ducliiis shall be evacuated by the Sar dinian troops, such a stipulation being, they say, a violation of their rights as Sardinian subjects. which tt.ey became by the union of the Duchies to Sardinia. Che Count Lovatelti, Protgate of Ferrara, has (.ays the Contenpormaco of the 19thj been appointed Minister of 'War. Ii Itisorginiento, of the 24th, states that on the evacuation of Peachier% by the Piedrnontese the Austrians would not allow them to take with "(hem their park of artdkry, 'stating that they should be restored so soon as Venice had surrendered.

The Queen- Laser strays till the 6th of next month. The numerous Ping family of the Duke of ltiangares were expected on the fret, and rather ceremonious preparations were made for their reception. There was a grind bunt oil the 17th - at Rio Frio ; but we sn longer see this year accounts of the prowess of the royal ladies in killing off fat bucks. The Carlist issuer. etion how-spread into the Matztrazgo, and daily the ranks of the rebellion are swelled by reinforce amt, from the exiled and persecuted liberals. Cemmerce at a complete stand still. The speculators in the public funds are acting up a petition to the ministry, to permit the et sstehli i h nien t e l the caml ling system of time-bargains to Intik the stagnant bourse. And while every external danger Retests limit that demands union in the government, a deep Skorahle schism prevails between its chiefs, who are ever Pitting the subversion of one another. Sartoriun left on the 20th for Seville. On the 20th the Port visited Segovia. Mon's titianial measures are daily %vented. Radio, the political chief, has disbanded the suet police, having discovered a Curia eenspirac7, in which aiey of them were implicated; and will organise a new bus t b of the service to replace it, consisting of men of b.tiar darast w. The g. NV of siege has been taken off Navarre by the cap' t4-gener. d'e hands. of the 18th.

Paws from the Sandwich Islands to the 6th of May have been received, and amnia an account of the opening of the legit. tative assembly, which consists of a house of nobles and a house of repreeentatives. The speech of the king annouoced the ratification of a treaty with France, similar to that already made with England, and also that a treaty had been cot dueled with the city of Hamburg. With the United Staten no treaty had yet bees negoctated. An adjustment regarding a division of lands between the pecule, the chime, and the crown had been tali: ably effected, and the speech concluded with a recommendation for a judicious ap plication of labour and capital to lance° the export trade off the islands, an appeal on behalf of popular instruction and religious toleration, and a statement that the sesurences n et ived frees England and France had confirmed his majesty in the policy of resisting all foreign control in the governe meat of his kingdom. Two days afterwards the report of the foreign usinisL r wee preser. ted. Referring to the treaty with France, it states that the French consul had insisted on • modification being made to admit the wines et that country at a duty of only 5 per cent. ad valorem, en the ground that malt liquors end eider from England had been admitted at that duty in compliance with • demand from the British coretil. Under these circumstances the government hail granted the concession, but at the came time, as it is their belief that the moral amelioration of the people depends upon the exclusion of iutoximting drinks, they had armed • protest, which it mu hoped would have the effect of inducing "the two great nations who are the leaders of the civilization of the world " to consent to a different arrzogement. It is also mentioned that various disputes between the government and foreign residents had been satisfactorily settled, although in the case of cue American claim the government bed been itiformed that efforts were to be made at Washington to re vive it as one of international grievance. Precautionary stein had, however, been taken to prevent the United States executive from being misled. The imports of the islands fur the year ending the 31st of March, 1848, had reached 822.729 dole., being an extraordinary increase over the two preceding years ; but, in consequence of the filling off in the number of whale ships frequenting the island, and the ne glect of sericulture, the exports had diminished, and were only 154,265 dole, being a decrees, of 227,183 doh. from the avenge of the preceding four years, and of 323,035 dole. front the amount originally estimated. STATE OF THE MANUFACTURING DIS- TRICTS. All remains quiet at Manchester.—At Ashton, yesterday, the arjourned inquest on the body of Bright, the murder. policeman, wu held, when no further evidence being tendered, the jury returned a verdict of murder against some person or persons unknown.—At Birming ham, yesterday, George Mantle, a notorious physical-force chartiA, was again brought before the magistrates on a charge of sedition.—Mr. Griffith, attorney, who appeared for the crown, stated that on Saturday he received from the Home-office a fuller note of Mantle's speech than he hail previously been in poeseasion of, but that Mr. White, the government short-hand uriter, not being in attemlntice, it would he necessary to have the matter again oijourceil fur a f w days. Pealing this, however, he had reason to believe that there was a warrant in ti.e hands of tfe chief superintendent of police for the aporehension of the prisoner for the use of seditious language in Cheshire; he therefore suggested that the examination for the offence com mitted here should Le suspended for a while, in order that the warrant to which he refirred might be put into execu- Con. The magistrates seceded to this arrangement, and Mantle was accordingly taken off to Cheshire forthwith. STATE OF THE WLND AND WEATHER. TUESDAY, AUOUST 29.

Mr. comet ttee uty Corney p r esided. A supplem L entary report of the commi was submitted to those present. It was to the effect that a satisfactory arrangement for the future direction, subject to the approbation of the shareholders, had been entered into. The chairman, Mr. Collett, t that he would probably be absent in Ireland d uri ng the autumn, Mr. tlartley had consented to take his seat at the board as a directoo. The committee considered that thanks were due to Mr. Col'ett for his past aervioes, and re commended that a sum not exceeding 50OL, including the 1501. already paid to him, should be awarded to him for the same. In answer to a questoo from a proprietor, the chair. man sta'ed that Mr. Collett was the only gentleman who had receiv.d payment, as a director, for his services; but that Mr.Oxvisford had received, since 1842, 2.501. per annum as acting manager, independently of his services as director. After & conversation, a series of resolutions were pureed to the effect that the resignation of Mr. Collett be accepted ; that Mr. Hartley be elected as director in his stead • that the thanks of tho shareholders were due to Mr. Collett, and that the sum of 3501. be awarded to him.—Mr. Collett, in expressing his acknowl dgments to the proprietors, raid that he was willing to accept 2001. of the amount in shares ia the company a nd subserv i e n tly intimated his intention of offering himaeliaggin ass director in May nett.—Resolutiocs were then passed, by which the meeting accepted the redone tion of Messrs. Irving and Reed, with their bast thanks for past services, and elected Messrs. Corny and Oarraway . , the office of auditors until May next. —The last resolutthe ion , gave the dirt ctors power to receive 41. per share on unmarked shares, in default of payment of whir* the shares were to be fork iced.

PAROCHIAL DEBT AND AUDIT BILL. Lad BEAUMONT complained that in consequence of the hasty manner in which this bill had passed its third reading on Friday, he was prevented from proposing an amendment which the noble earl (Fortescue) who had change of the bill had induced him not to move in com mittee, upon the undemanding that he should do non the third reading. From the hasty and indistinct manner In wblh a number of hills for third reading had been passed, he did not, in the eontosion of sounds, hear the name of :he bill in question ; hut it now appeared that it had been read a third time and paned. Under these circumstances, and with a view to the adoption of his amendment, he was obliged to avail himself of the privilege of a peer, and by on the table a bill to amend the Parochial Debt and Audit Bill, and he should to morrow (this day) move that the standing orders be suspended, in order teat the bill might pass through all its stages. SUGAR DUTIES BILL. Earl GREY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to alter the existing sugar duties as they were settled in 1846. The measure, which had been fully debated in the other house of parliament, arose out of the present condition of the West India planters, and it was in tended to extend the period of protec'inn to the sugar grower beyond the time limited by the act passed in that year. The noble earl said at this late period of the session it was unnecessary that he should eater at length into the subject, end proceeded to refer to despatches from Sir Hoary Light. the governor of British Guiana, and other documents, to show that undue extension of cultivation under the stimulus of protecting duties had produe. d an artificial com petition for wages, and raised them to an extravagant amount ; and contended that such wages, instead of promo. Wig the real welfare of the ni gro, had rather tended to his demoralisaton. It was prove,' also that such an extent of cultivation wising from the system of mutual competition among each other by the planters, and stimulated by protecting duties, had been carried on under enormous charges which returned an ordinary and usual mercantile profit, but altoaether insufficient to preserve the planters from ruin. The same observations applied to the Mauritius, where the protection had been increased more than sixfold in 2.5 years. There had been an increase in the last two or three years in the Mauritius of 66 per cent. ; and while this enormous increase was going on—during the whole time from the year 1822 to the present period—there had been constant complaints on the part of the planters and merchants of that colony, of extreme distress and embarrass ment. Ile bad no doubt that such complaints were well grounded, and why had they arisen ? Simply from this cir cumstance: by the exatence of protecting duties in this country, the producers in the Mauritius were taught to expect that they should obtain extraordinary profits, and therefore capital was sent out from this countr7 to a great amount, and cultivation was pushed, not to a natural, but a speculative increase, by parties who ca culated upon the profit that would arise from the protecting duties which existed. And in this manner wages Main creseed, is spite of the enormous importation of labourers,_ to the number of 89,0000 within the last few years. The demands for their services, however, went on increasing It more than an equal ratio. Employers were bidding against each other, and by doing so were rei-ing the cart of produo tion, and at the same time exceeding the quantity which this market could carry off at the price which they calculated on for their remuneration—and Die consequence seas their ruin. This increase had bee n going on not only in the Mauritius ' but in Malamm, Singapore, India, and elsewhere, and it had been carried on principally by borrowed capital, the mer chants at home trading to a great extant upon credit. He did not, however, blame these parties, but the two houses of parliament, for having fostered this unnatural system, which could feed to no other result. (Rear, hear.) With reference to the prospects of the future, there was no reason for despondency.. There was no ground for assuming that slave labour was cheaper than free labour. Re believed, on the contrary, the reverse to be true. He admitted, and deeply deplored, the extreme severity of the existing distress of so many respect able parties; but he saw the prospect of improvement in the future. The noble earl then reterred to various documents, in order to show that free labour was cheaper than slave labour in the Mauritius. In referring to the subject in Feb. last he had said that when things were placed on a more nar mat tooting wages would fall • and his prediction had partially been realised : but they h ad decreased lees in the colonies, where the highest amount had been paid for labour, than in others where the remuherstion had been more moderate — thus proving-the bad policy of the system to which he had referred. In Demerara, for instance, the negroes had streau cooly resisted a reduction of their wages ; but in Barbadoes, Antigua, and some of those colonies which po seised greater natural advantages and where wages had not been forced up to seek en extr aordinary height, the reduction bad been effected most amicably. The noble earl read extracts from various deepens es to prove these facts, and also to show that the redaction of wages had brought more labour into the market. Improvements in the cultivation and manufacture of sugar had been carried on more vigorously than before. Sir H. Light stated that from an exoeriment which had been tried its Demerara, it had been proved that by good the land would produce one hundred per cent. more the old system of cultivation and Lord Harris stated that in Trinidad experiments bad been tried in the manufacture of sugar and that by Dr. Michell's process the quantity of raw material, which ordinarily produced "tiger to the value of 365., would, without additional expense, produce anger to the value of 475. In spite of all discouragement, he found that there had been an increase of production In Demerara during the first six months of this year, as compared with the corresponding period in 1847. In the latter year the produce had been 19,120 hhds., whilst in the first six months of this year it had increased to 21,628 hhds. The export of rum In the same period in 1848 had been 11,600 puncheon', and in 1847 it had been 7, 200 p u ncheons. 'The export of molasses for the first six months of 1848 had been 4,167 ca-ks, and in 1847, 6,662 ca,ks, being a decrease of 2,385 auks, which was a won./ proof of the adoption of an improved process in making sugar. (li=ar, hear. ) The governor of Trinidad stated, in a despatch dated tie 19th of June in the present year. that matters had reached the worst, that there was great improvement in the manu facture of sugar, and that things were beginning to look setter. He stat ed, ' moreover, that up to July, 1847, there wee great facility in obtaining money and bills in Trinidad-- a fact which he (Earl Grey) merely mentioned to show the imonsietency of the statements of those who Attributed to the act of 1846 the ruin of the West India colonies. The governor of Antigua was also of opinion that the worst was passed and although hints-If in favAir of protection, he admitted that its withdras.al was not an unmixed evil, as it would lead the planters to look for more extraneous assistance in improved modes of cultivation and manufacture. (Hear, hear.) The editor of a Barbadoes newspaper spoke in cheering terms of the spirit which pre vailed in that color y among all claasmot society and their iiMeentination to use active exertions for the restoration of presperity. The establishment of central sugar works in the &woes was spoken of, and he (Earl Grey) thought such a plan would be very deeirable, with a view to afford every facility to improved manufacture. There was no ground, teen, for diopairing as to the future prospects of these cote ' Dies. lie had succeeded in proving that the former system was essentially unsound , and the return to a better, although =comedy . attended with considerable pressure and ditfi• culty, during the time of transi•ion, did yet afford fair grounds for hope. (Hear, hear.) The object of the bill, as he had before sail, was to gnat a longer period of protection to the sugar grower; and he thought, notwithstanding the sentiments which he had just expressed, that the governmer.t were jes• titled in bringing forward such a measure, partly on account of the panic which had existed amongst the planters, and which it was necessary to check. They had been taught to look to protection as their sheet anchor by their injudicious 1 friends in thia country, and by the practice of parliament and unless the present bill bed been brought forward to ex tend that protection a little longer, sugar cultivati in might have been discontinued to a considerable extent ; and if abandoned for a year or two, it could not esaity have been resumed. (Hear, hear.) Another reason in favour of the measure was that the amount of advantage in tended to be secured by the act of 1846 bad not been practically enjoyed by the planters. (Hear, hear.) The consumption of sugar on the continent of Europe, and even in this country, wu diminished, in consequen , e of what bad taken place in several continents' states within the last few menthe. For these reasons he thought tint they wire justified in affording protection for tome time long-r to the West Indies. The noble lord then proceeded to read the I proposed scale of duties, by which the duties were lowered at the same time that protection was continued to the Wert Indies. He believed that the effa et of this general rAuction of duties would be of the utmost importance to the British growers. He did not believe that it would irjeriously affect the revenue, because the reduction of the duties was to be gradual, and therefore time would be given to allow for that increase of consumption which would make up any lots that might be at first occasioned by the reduction of duty. A great advantage was also given to the West Indians, in the reduction of the duties on rum. Ile believed that if they had attempted more for the benefit of the West Indians they would have effected Ins. Ile hoped that the colonists would accept this measure in the spirit in which it was proposed, and that they world not be led away by those who told them that th , it welfare and pro•- parity was not an object of interest to the government. If he believed that protection was for their real benefit he for . . . one would be fur w retracifig their stem, notwithstandinz that all his opinion were against that system. It was because he believed it to be for the real benefit of the colonists them- selves that they should not go back to a rystem of protection that he refused to do so. They must not depend o.i what the legislature could do for them, they must rely on their own exertions for prosperity ; and if they put forth all their energies as they ought, he believed that prosperity would be the consequence. lie was persuaded that any agita tion in the colonies on the question of protection might have a powerful effect in preventing the influx of further capital from this country. It might have a powerful effect in keeping up alarm and uneasiness ; it might have the moat fatal effect in this manner ; but there were blind oh servers of passing events, who for a moment believed that such proceedings could have the effect which was hoped from them, of inducing parliament to alter that policy which it had deliberately adopted. lie was convinced that that policy was the right and the true one; it was one to which parliament was finally and irrevocably pledged, and one from which he believed they would never depart. (Rear, hear.) Even those of their lordships who might differ from hineion this point wood agree with him that eves if tide potter was to be altered it was not to be done by ill advised measures intended he sow eisc >meet and desatisfectien in the4loni. s.

The noble lord said that the farmer system wee a bad one ; tut, at all events. that system bad enabled the colonists to produce a very large quantity of saver, and led o a very large immi gration. The noble lord said that the new system was much better; hut he was inclined to view with suseiciou a system which began by lending 500,000/. which never would be re paid. He thought it was a eery bad system to reduce the duties to the lowest possible amount. it seemed that they bad a de ficiency of 2,001,0901. which they were to meet by borrowing to that amount. But how was that deficiency produced? lie brOieved it was produced by the reductions which had been mad- in various articles. Ile thought that Vie government were grimly to blame for not bringing this measure under the ootice of their lorlthipe at an earlier period At the j. dent Ice period of the session he would not d,vide the house. Earl GRANVILLE was of opinion that the anticipated lose to the revenue would be made up by increased con sumptiva. He agreed generally in the remarks which had fallen from the noble lord opposite respecting the letene , s of Idle time that the measure was brought under the notice of their lordships. He admitted that the West Indians were suffering great distress, and that they were placed under dis advantages with regard to labour. They were also placed under disadvantage by the measures wt ich were adopted under the influence of the anti-slavery advocates in this country. For these reasons as thought they had a claim to some fell'ellr• bat he would not support a system of protection to the injury of the people of this country. (Hear.) Lord DENMAN was glad that this measure was about to pass without opposition, because it was in direct opposition to that miasure which was introduced two years ago. and which he looked upon as a mostdiegraceful one. It was said that that measure was, to be a final measure, and was to last for ever, bet he was glad to and that it had only an eternity of two jeers and seven day,. (Laughter.) He hoped that this measure would be the forerunner of the abolition of slavery, without which the West ledies could not prosper. This was a question of vital important*, and was pressing more and more every elev. It might he said that he bad a strong feeling on this subject, , because a person nearly related to him wu concerned. he profemional reputatioe of that individual weauble to take care of itself,and his feelings were certainly not engaged in the question on that account. The noble and learned 1: rd then defended himself from an attack which had been made upon him for injustice and illiberality on this subject by a daily paper. The noble and learned lord said he could not believe that Mr. Cliff bad ceased to be a sleeve trader from motives of humanity. lie would not refuse to hear the evidence of with a man, bat he certainly would not take big counsel as to the best means of suppressing the slave trade. In alluding to the proceedings of the committee of the other douse, he said he knew 'hat many papers offered by thou witnesses who were anxious to put down the slave trade were refused. It was of immense importance that the nation at large should rightly estimate the character of the evidence by which the sommitte h, d been guided. He had called Mr. Cliff a pirate because he was a slave trader ; but he ought to apologise to Muses for placing them in the emu augur, with slave-traders, who were guilty of a mon atro cious crime. The question returned, how was this infamous traffic to be put down ? Not by our remaining passive spec tators. There were eaious grounds for apprehending ar neral insurrection of the slaves, and the massacre of all the irbites—a catastrophe which could only be averted by the timely extinction of the slave trade. Till that was efficted there would be no prosperity for the colonies. The Duke of ARGYLL said that free trade was not the only .lenieet in this quieten ; the slave trade ought also to be considered; and in this respect there had been a great omission in the speech of toe noble earl (Earl Grey). The protection had been taken away from our colonies solely to make sugar cheaper ; and if the colonies succeeded in com peting with the slave states, they would owe no thanks to the government, who had abandoned them to the fiercest competition.scount V St. VINCENT regretted that the government had not taken into account the difficulty which our colonists had in obtaining a supply of labour. Till that diffictOty was removed, there could be no fair competition. Earl GREY, in reply, denied that there was any ripped 'ietwei en this measure aed that of 1816. The difference was only one of time. The measure of 1846 proposed that our colonies should he put on the Matte footing as other countries in 1851. This measure deferred that equality for three years longer. There was no difference of principle whatever in the two measures. The main object of the fill of 164 , 3 was not, as had been represented, to cheapen sugar, though ur.doubtediy that had been *collateral result. _Se far from the revenue being sacrificed, it had been increased by the odl of 1846. In the last year of protection, 1843, the total amount received tram sugar of all kinds was 3,574,0001., while in 1847 it was 4,404,000/., being an increase of nearly 900,000/.. and that too in a year of great commercial depres sion. The system of protection had held out false hopes to the colonies. Under this sjetem they had largely mort gaged their estates, and the result had been disappointment and in..

BENTINCK urged the Chancellor of the Bache quer to take fuller powers under the measure to make such advscoe to planters as be might deem, upon representation being made, necessary upon the recurityot the growingcrops. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not go further than he had done in the way of advancing money for toe colonies. It was clear that the application of a pm ! tion of the loan granted by parliament to the improvement of roads, to dreinage, to irrigation, and to other public works would be highly beneficial to the individual planters, and as to any funds which the latter might require for their particu'ar estates, he hail no doubt that parties might be icund to advance any money that might be necessary upon the security of the growing crops. Mr. FORBES called upon the government not to drive the colenisti to such extremities that they could not, even if they would. pay taxer_ Mr. HUME also urged the essential necessity of taking a broader view of our colonial in crests than appeared to be entertained by the Colouialwfifice at present. Every news paper from England was calculated to make the colonial more and more desperit-, from the reckless tyranny of ad rc.!ri,•ret on a anitestid by the ww,•n,m , tat 1 inc. In Guiana the mod usatquirocal laugusge had bean used on this subject by the Court of Policy. In fat, there sta. not a single colony in w' ich great complaints, of more or lea weight,were not constantly transmitted home, and he fully expected that .vfore lung there would be • general refusal to pay the expense cf the tespective eats blishments. (Hear, hear.) We had just hart to pay one million sterling by realm of the wretched administration of the Cape of Good Hope. ( Hear, hear.) And unless some distinct reform were ill, c•ed in this department of the state, there would be many million% more to pay. Mr. BARELY 'waled to understand from the govern ment what course it was props'. dto adopt on the xtremely probable event of the colonies ;.erg unable to pay the taxes? The CHANCELLOR ot the EXCHEQUER replied that the government would superinteou the distribution of the loan, end appoint a receiver in each c:dony. Major BLACKALL urged the importance of completing I the roads in some ot thc colon. and alio of including Cey ' lon in the prima re Let affordi d to the other British pos . 10111010. Mr. HAWES said t'.at C.yion was included in the general comm mild 'policy of the government, but the man sure under consideration was exclu 'way meant far the bene fit of the sugar arowingcolonies, of which Ceylon sou not one. He del not ll,' kit sere wry to p • into the various questions mooted by the hon. member for Montrose, as that would lead him Into a very wide field, but with respect to the quarrel at Bt. Lucia, the expense 01 that inquiry very fairly fell uton the inhatoitants on whose behalf it took place. With respect to the suzgestio t ow:: out that Jamaica ice? Guiana would refuse to payeir official fimctionaries, it would be time enouth to provide for that contingency when it occurred, an event LO: yet probahle. With respect to the suggestion of tee noble lord (G. Bentinck), nothing could be more dangerous than to enter Imo a system of making advances on growing crops, cr on cultivation of any class, and he would never sanction such a course. The lain accounts sent by Lord Harris were toy no means so discouraging as the noble lord had represented, for it was t uticipattd that there would bee growth of 2,000 hogeheede of sugar more than the exports of last season, and the same language was held by Governor Higginson of Antigua. Mr. BERNAL would not dispute the accuracy of Lord Harris's or Mr. Higginson's reprceentations, as stated bythe hon. member, but it ought to be rec.lletted that Trinidad and Antigua were small islands, and that their condition was not the rule of the West Indian colonies. Tne dispatches of Sir C. Grey (coin Jamaica were of a very dill: rent character to those quoted by the hon. member, sad nothing could give a blacker idea of the state of a colony than those despatches. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow (this day) at twelve. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Oa the motion that this bill be read a second time, Mr. HERBERT said that, unless the Chancellor of the Exchequer would ilionsise that a committee should be ap pointed early next station to inquire into the suli.ect of saving. banks, he should feel it to ire his duty to oppose the present bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to make any such promise. . -- , .967 771 4. 0 400 60 2 80392 9, 7.319 1.948 0.13 i >-day zport DDI wd ev4.23 wpt. ag. 24 fence. ace of twin( ter. J.
