Guizot's reply to Thiers, which, though marked by much of the usual ability of the minister, had little effect on the house, or the public, compared with the seech of his opponent. The Chamber divided on the paraVaPh, ing the ministry the usual majority or4o, with which it was agreed that they should in general be supported at certain meetings htld before the opening of the session, and announced by us at the time. The numbers were 20t; in favour of the paragraph, and 126 against it. The Prince of Syracuse, brother of the King of Naples, is now at Paris. 11.1t.11. is to leave that capital for Naples in a few days. On Thursday a body of students assembled in the Place du Pantln`en, and proceeded towards the Chamber of Deputies, with the intention of depositing a petition, founded on the suspension of the lectures of M. Michelet, at the College of France. The column increased as it went, till it amounted to about 2,000 persons. On reaching the QUA/ d'Orsay, they were met by commissaries of police, at a short distance from the Pont de la Concorde, who enjoined them to stop and disperse.

In Piedmont there is observable everywhere 'narks of active military preparation, such as denote the apprehension of being at any moment thrown upon the defensive. We have already mentioned the fact that Genoa is filled with troops, quartered in convents and religious houses, as well as in the bar racks and forts. Letters from Turin announce as positive that the Austrian cabinet has sent to the Sardinian govern ment a note on the subject of these military prepara tions of the latter, in a tone so imperious and me nacing as to produce a report that war had already been declared between the two powers. It is certain that The movements of the Austrian troops in Lora ' hardy and Venice ace such as to indicate not merely the purpose of overawing the population of their own _states,-butlltat.•l foruniug • ndlitary cordon on the Piedmontese frontier. The head-quarters of the Austrian army in Lombardy have been removt d from Milan to Gallarete. Meanwhile troops are poured in in considerable nunibtrs, by all the roads leading from Austria towards ('entral Italy; end steamers are employed to transport them across the Adriatic, to various points on the Italian coast. Tie Ohscreateur of Trieste, of the 25th, says that " A battalion d'Ogulin, which had arrived at Trieste on the 22nd, sailed the next day for Venice. Notwithstanding the wind, which was very boisterous, this battalion, of I,2tis strong, was embarked on three steam-boats of the Austrian Lloyd's Company. These soldiers, who saw both sea and steam for the first time, left the Selavo. ',inn laud, and east a look of regret on the country they were quitting. It was not without a certain emotion they saluted such of their fellow-countrymen as reside at Trieste, and who gave them cigars and money." Letters from Berne of the 31st ult. report that the Diet held its session on that day. Hitherto the can tons which declined to take part in tho proceedings preparatm7 to the revision of the pact were the four folbwirg ; Uri, Unterwalden,Neufchatel, and Appen :eh In the sitting of the 31st, the deputy of Uri de clared his intention of taking an active part in the deliberations on the revision,ratification by the canton being reserved. This example would most probably be imitated by Unterwalden, and it was certain that Appenzel Exterior would soon do the same. Neufchatel and Appenzel Interior would thus be the only states which would prevent the solution of this important question. The I adopted, by a majority of seventeen votes and a halt; a decree by which its decision on the 3rd of Scptember last, concerning the expulsion of the Jesuits, is confirmed in those forms which are adapted to present circumstances, as well as to the expulsion since i ffected by the four cantons in which they had fixed their residence. Uri and Unterwalden keep the *Location open, but hope to be shortly enabled to de ode it in the affirmative. Among the catholic I cantons Appenzel Interior is the only one which has not agreed to their expulsion. The opposition to the measure is the more remarkable among the Pro testant cantons. Neufchatel and Bale Town have re fused to co-operate in the decree, though they were particulaily engaged by Zurich to agree to that measure, in which the catholic states themselves are almost ur.artimous. IL sae decided by a great majority, that the amount of the chest of the Sonderdund, as well as all sultrily of corn and cattle which had been placed under sequestration, or employed in the service of the federal army should be deducted from the amount of the expenses of the war charged to the acc mot of the separate league. The assembly manifested its intention to improve still further the military establishment, inasmuch as it has granted a supplementary credit for the federal military school at Thoane, destined to facilitate the instruction of the artillery, which rendered great services in the last campaign. A Vien..a letter, of the '2Bth ult., states that the Emperor of Austria has sent M. Frentzel, one of the chief persons in the financial department, to Russia, to raise a loan of fifty millions of roubles. MADRID, JAN. 28. I can give some further particulars to-day about the new contract of the bank with the government. The bank undertakes to satisfy all the engagements of the state for the present year. It will hand over to the government, by twelfth parts, each of which is distributed in two or three payments over the corresponding months, the whole amount of the budget of receipts for 1848, that is, 12,830,0001. The balance against the government, however, is never to exceed a fixed sum. If it should exceed that sum, and no new ar rangement is entered into satisfactory to both parties, the contract breaks off, and the bank is reimbursed by the con tributions of the succeeding months, far which purpose it will continue to collect for the government up to the date of complete settlement. But this is a case not likely to happen. The government has in its hands full security for the repay ment of the loon, and the bank runs no risk whatever. All the revenues of the state will enter into its chest, without exception of a single branch'; lotteries, quicksilver, crusade impost. public instruction, colonial surplus, national jaroperty, &c. The government tie] of the task of collecting, will have ita hands free to set about financial reform. The cheats de pendent on the treasury have their means of subsistence secured to them for the year. The officials in active service will be paid with puuctuality. Tho passive classes will re- ' eciee nine months' pay, distributed at intervals of 40 days. The clergy will be paid quarterly. Such is the satisfactory prospect for the year which the new Finance Minister holds out to the country, and undeniably for Spain the outlook is not had. The eye of opposition naturally does not see the picture in the flattering light in which it is presented. The contract will be signed to-day or to-morrow. Cabecilla Grignon, Carlist commander general of the Maeztrux7o, presented himself to the authorities for pardon on the 12th, which having obtained he proceeded to Valencia. The Siglo says, the provisioning and fortification of our Alricen possessions proceed. The force which garrisons the Chafarine Islands has constructed barracks for shelter: the plane of fortification have been traced out, and the guns to be mounted there are getting ready in Ceuta. A battalion of chasseurs has arrived in Melilla, and another is expected shortly, together with a squadron of the regiment of Nu 'auricle. The tribes about Melilla fire daily on the fort, causing frequent loss to the garrison. Another of the threatening-letter gang has been seized at Zaragoza. lie turned out to be a screw or watchman, who was pounced upon as he was picking doubloons out of the window-slides of a soap-shop, which had been required to be set there, to the amount of 101. On the 19th a proposal, signed by a great number of senators and deputies, was addressed to Bravo Murillo, the Minister of Public Works, recommending the erection of an! institution of arts and sciences, to be attached to tie existing ' seminary of Versate, as a fitting monument of the conven tion which pacified Spain, which might be opened by the 31st of next August, anniversary of that glorious event. ' Count Vista Hermosa, Gen. Jose Concha, °liven, Lujsn, and Sanchez Toca presented the memorial to the minister. The composition of this committee, which represents all shades of politics, is suitable to the design, which the govern ment seems disposed to consider as favourably as their pre sent vein fir retrenchment will permit. This high compli ment to Espartero carried out would be a striking confirma tion of the ministry's conciliatory spirit. The moilerados have organised electoral juntas in six dis• tricts of the capital. A boll and brsanotaos will take place at the palace the day after to-morrow, which is the birthday of the Infants Duchess of Montpensier. Oi.r.or.NE Hot - sr.—The works on her Majesty's estate in the Isle of Wight have been rapidly progressing. The old mansion, known hitherto as Osborre House, has, since the eltnorture of the court, been taken down, and not a vestige of a former building remains. The ground has been excavated, and prepared for the foundation of what will be the front elevation : and we Wants Adrertiscr)learu that Prince Albert, and probably accompanied by her !da• jesty, will pay a short visit for the purpose of laying the foundation stone. The prevent intended elevation will be connected with the extensive building lately erected in the rear, and, when the former is complete, will form the main , building or body of the new Osborne Houle. The west wing, on which is the tower, has been inhabited for sometime past by the royal family when In the island, and will also be con nected by a corridor to the main building. When the other intended wing and clock-tower are erected, the whole will be one of the handsomest marine mansions In the kingdom. The building is in the Italian and Grecian styles. gords - N0.449.] LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 5, 1848. [3d. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Tats DAY.)

" L►mbeth Palace, Feb. bth, 11148." COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Coounteslooer Goothorn. THE SALISIH'ILY BANK.—Mr. Roger said he appeared for Mr. Thos. King, formerly a partner of Mews. Brodie, whose assignees had made an affidavit that Mr. King owed them 2,8421.; and the question was, what amount of security the court would think reasonable. He was instructed to put into wart a set-off of 1,1001., which was undisputed.—Mr. Squarey, for the assignees, admitted the validity of the set-off, and agreed to accept two sureties of 1,0001. each, which were accordingly given. COMMERCIAL k MARKETS. AN ANTI-WAR MEETING was held in Leicester on Tuesday last: Mr. T. Burgess in the chair. Blihu Barritt spoke at considerable length. He thus summed up the oat of war to the people of Great Britain since the oommencement of the present century :—lf you will look into a large book called " Porter's Preemie of the Nation," you will find that the people of Great Britain expended in money on their army, navy, and ordnance, from 1801 to 1845 inclusive, the sum of 1,137,000,0001.; during the same time they paid in interest on the natioual debt, 1,211,000,0001. ;—total, 3,281,000,0001. This is not the total amount paid. Not a farthing of this vast awn is for the labour of at least 300,000 able-bodied men, for forty.five rears, who would have earned during the time 200,000,0001. at one shilling a day per heed. Now then, If' you will turn to another page in that large book, you will find that the whole amount of produce and manufactures which the people of Great Britain have sold or bartered to the rev. of the world, from 1801 to 1945, was 1,910,000,0001., or 471,000,0004 less than the somas of their war `.llls for the some time! Just turn that fact over in your mind fur a few minutes, and then say if war hes not been a losing game to you, as well as to the rest of the world. Let us understand I it fully. Suppose Great Britain had not bought a pound of cotton, flax, sugar, or tea of any other country, or a far thing's-worth of anything else during these 4e years, but that she had worked out of her own soil and labour produce and manufactures to the amount of 1,910,000,0001. over and above what she needed for her own consumption, and that she had found a ready cash mark. t for it its other countries, and had brought its value home in gold sovereigns. Yon understand this? Well then, this great sum would not pity her war bills, during the same time, by 47 1 , 000 , 000 of rieunde sterline! But there were terrible wars during these forty-tve years, you say. Very true; let WI, then, aunt up the wee hills of the p. ople since the wars were all ewe—since the peace, in ISIS, or for only thirty years: Peel interest on war-debt, from 1315 to 1815 inclusive,' 915,1N10.000/. ; paid for army, navy, and ordnance, during the edne time, 503,000,0001. ; total, 1,418,000,0001. Now, let us sea what this sum of money would have bought for the people, and how much labour and produce it cost the people to raise it for war purposes. The average price of wheat in Wieland, from 1815 to 1945, was 625. per quarter. The con sumption of wheat is reckoned at one quarter per head of the population. Then the money paid by the people of England, during the thirty years of peace above mentioned, for war, would have bought 457,580,34.: quarters of wheat: or given Isread to 15,152,848 persons for thirty years. But let us take the war expendi tures of the present year, and estOnate their amount in pro vi.ions or labour. Paid interest on war dr bt, 2e,015,000/. ; paid for war preparations, 17,081,0771.; teed, 45,126,0771. Nine-tenths of this amount come from the labour ng classes of the kingdom. At the average price of wheat fir the last thirty year. this slim would buy for the people 11,556,799 quarters ; or give six bushels each to 12,400,065 persons.— ' Mr. Reeve in moving the resolution of the evening said, I many may deem the views of Eli h u Burritt to be Utopian, I and unfitted for the age, but at least they are only Utopian' is to the period. We are taught to believe that the time will come when men shall beat their swords into plough-shares, their spears into pruning-hooks ; and who can doubt that that period, when it does arrive, will be fraught with blessings to mankind ? How should it he otherwise, when the angelic messengers which announced the birth of the Saviour of the world had for their song—" Peace ! Peace upon earth !" Agreed, then, as to the consequences of such a state of things, the remaining question is, how can we bring it about ? And here we leave the old-fashioned paths, and choose a way of our own. The best security for peace has high, rte been deemed to he the preparation for star, and the consequence of it has been the inculcation of strange doctrines, and such as we, with all our regard for the wis dom of our ancestors, cannot now agree to. Nelson, in in structing the young officers under his command, had two maxims. One was this, " Young gentlemen, remember that your first duty is to obey orders, and the next to hate a Frenchman as you do the devil!" Now, sir, however right the first part of the command may be, I cannot coin cide with the second ; and I am inclined to believe that if Nelson knew half as much of the Frenchmen as we pur pose to do ho would have given no such order. Why, r, we have a Frenchman in this town; Le is an honoured and beloved citizen amongst ‘l9, ever ready to promote the happiness and welfare of the community. Can we hate him as we do the devil? Oh, hut it may he said, he is a unique specimen; jif all the French were like him, the case would be different altogether. lam inclined to think, sir, that he would ac cept no such compliment at the expense of his countrymen, that he would repudiate the idea that he is so much better than thereat of them. He would claim to be only a sample of the bulk, and not a picked sample either; and, there fore, supposing that he is right in this respect, I conclude that Nelson was in the wrong, and that we only hate the French as we do many other folk when we know nothing at all about them. Let us believe that Nelson was in error altogether. Well, many a man errs, and errs grievously, and yet his last saying atones in some degree for the mistakes of his earlier life ; the last words of Nelson, or rather his last signal woe, " England expects every man to do his duty." Let us remember and cherish this saying, but let us think fur ourselves what our duty is—let us think what our duty is, not only as Englishmen, but as men—as Christians—and then I fancy it will lead us to other exertions than those of mortal combat, it will place us in other scenes than those of Trafalgar. It will lead us to combat the principle of evil, and receive as allies French fellow-workers—all—all, of whatever clime, whatever race, whatever country, who are willing to unite with us. Then we shall as cordially agree with the latter portion of the resolution I hold in my hand as in the former—that which adopts the recommendation of our friend, and approves of his suggestion to send a friendly address to the citizens of Valenciennes. We have of late years extended our acquaintance, our parties of pleasure have gone to a sister kingdom, we have frater nised with the denizens of Glasgow and Edinburgh ; why not go further—why not with those of France ? I hope that as one of the results of this meeting, as one of the first fruits of it, we shall tell the citizens of the town I have named how we long to know and esteem them ; and that in later days we shall see some of them—aye, on this platform, in this very hall, and holding out the right hand of fellow ship to them, give them a proof of the sincerity of words in the hearty welcome we accord them. Mr. R. concluded by reading the resolution, which was carried : That this meeting, sensible of the blessings which pence (permanent and universes l;would secure to the human findiy, ii).npathoies in this and every effort made to promote so desirable an object ; and in ft , - therance of this design, and adopting the reemr-nendition of our friend Mho Borritt, approves of the suggestion to present a friendly addrens to the town of Valenciennes. A NEW MODE OF SWINDLING.—A farmer went to Bolton market last week with a cart-load of potatoes, when a countryman came up, and after a good deal of chaf fering, a bargain was struck for the sum of 81. 10s., and the parties (along with the potatoes) then proceeded to the Bull and Wharf public-house, where the purchaser stated he was staying. The potatoes were then unloaded and placed in the yard belonging to the house, the purchaser having just pre viously asked permission of the landlord to place his pur chase on the premises. The potatoes being fairly housed, and the transaction completed, except payment, the par chaser asked the farmer to " just stop a minute whilst he went into the house to get change;" and so saying, went into the house ; but staying rather a considerable time, the seller went in and made inquiries as to the now missing man. The landlord informed him that the man he was inquiring for had, a short time before, been to him, saying, " I am 31. 10s. short of paying for the potatoes I have just bought, and would you lend it me ; you know it will be all right,—you can keep ' pratoes' as security ; " and that he lent him the required sum, and did not notice where he went to. The police sought in vain far the adroit rogue. LAW REPORTS UNFIT FOR PUBLICATION. — Sir, — I have to thank you, in common, I am sure, with many other fathers of families, for the reserve with which you report and remerk upon such trials as that of "tails c. Geils" in the Arches Court. I soon found, upon exchanging the Tinier newspaper for the Daily News, that I was re lieved from the constant apprehension I used to be under, that the disgusting evidence given on such trials, and in cases before police magistrates, which are often of a very re volting character, might be seen by my family and servants; and though I was sure the former, and might hope the latter, would discontinue to read as soon as the nature of the details was perceived, a shock to delicacy would in the meantime have been given which it is cruel to inflict. The excuse for publishing in full detail the horrible evidence given on such trials and cases is, that every publicity should be given to the proceedings of courts of justice. For this reason it is that they are and always have teen open courts. This is the allegation ; but in our criminal courts (1 do not know how it may be in the Arches Court) it used to be, and I suppose still is, the practice before trials of the kind—l allude to one called on to order the women and bops to leave the court—a plain proof that the policy of our judicial forms lever intended to extend the publicity of their proceedings beyond the necessity of the case. The possible mischief of open courts on such trials, before the practice of reporting their proceedings began, was thus very limited. But now the newspapers bring the whole public into court ; nor are youths and females excluded. Under colour of re porting judicial proceedings, newspapers now . publish such details as, were they given in the form of an =apiary nar rative, would be liable to prosecution as obscene publica tions. Among the reforms projettel in legal matters, meting, I should hope, might be devised ter preventing thennlimited publicity now given to indecent evidence. Let all courts be, as they have ever been, open to the public in all cases what ever, lest thee should degenerate into secret tribunals ; but let that portion of the public who are not present in court be content with a decent and general statement of the pro ceedings. Justice will suffer no loss, and public morals will experience a great gain.—D. 4 / 1 -7 4- • , 4/' / . l e-z ',7- 49 --•""--€ 0 : 4 /7 MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. - - - - Ralf-past One o'Clock.—After the regular hour of closing business yesterday, the funds took a remark able start. Consols , which had left o ff at 89 for ac count, and a less for money, advanced within less than an hour afterwards to 891, at one time buyers. Some extensive time bargains were done at the ad vanced quotations. These high rates, realised after business hours, contrast strangely with the depressed state of the market early the same morning, when' Consols were done to 884. To account for this sudden alteration and improvement, it is stated that an opinion is gaining ground that the Treasury will neither went a loan nor require to fund any of the Exchequer Bills falling due next month. 1111 is probable, however, that the known continued im provement of the Bank of England returns, as they appear in the lame par of the Empress, showing a g rowingatca.malfil on of coin and bullion, and of the res,rve in the banking department, may have as much as any ether cause to do with the ascending movement of the funds. It may be conceived that some portion of the unemployed wealth with which the Bank is now overflowing is likely to come to be placed in public securities, by way of obtainiug interest returns, from the difficulty of making use of it in the discount of good commercial paper, which, through the competition of Banks and discount houses for it, can be done on lower terms than the Bank minimum rate. Consols opened this morning at 891 to for money, and 89; toy for time; but they have gradually re ceded since to 891 to f- for time, and 89 to 1 money, with an inactive market. Rcduccd Threes we quote 891 to 1. Threcquod-a-Querter per Cents., 901 to Bank Stock, 200 to 2. Exchequer Bills, due in March, are 24a. to 28s. premium ; those due in June, 303. to 345. pm.

The number of failures in Cologne during the past year is stated at 66, of which, however, 58 were small shopkeepers, &c.; the remaining eight only being commercial houses. The heaviest amount of liabilities among the latter was 57,643 thalers. The passive of the whole 66 failures together is stated only at i 610,318, a sum quite insignificant when compared with the importance of the commercial disasters with which other German cities, of much less consideration than Cologne, have been visited during the same period. It was announced at Liverpool yesterday, that the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ships would, after the 25th of March, leave New York ' I and Boston on the Wednesday, instead of the Satur day, as previously announced, and the alteration will be carried into effect on Wednesday, the tilt of April next.

COCHRAN E wished to know from the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the Rome Department whether it was the intention of the government to brine in a bill to amend the law for preventing bribery at elections ? The reason why he put the question was iscomve of the hardship to which several members were expcsed in having to pay the eo,t of del , utling petition., although the allega tions in them were proved to be not true, Ile was aware that the committees had the power of declaring petition: to he vexatious and frivolous, which would throw the coat en the partite petit:anima, but it was well known that they very seldom exercised that power. Sir G. GREY was not able to state that it was the inten tion of the government to bring in any bill relating to the trial of election petitions, with regard to the points referred to by the hon. gt ntkman. With regard to costs, he did not think it would be possible to deprive election committees of all discretion in allowing or refusing them. THE RIVER PLATE. In answer to Mr. DISRAELI, Lord P.aLMERSTON said he thought it would be dis advantageous to the negotiations which were pendie; if he were to communicate at present a copy of the ins:rue:l,ns which had been issued to Lord Bowden, the minister of the British government in conducting these negotiations. POOR LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. SCROPE wished to know from the right bon. gentle man, the Secretary for Ireland, whether a continuation of the papers relative to the distress in Ireland would be pre sented to the house, and, also, whether any proceedings would be taktm by the Irish government against those per eons who oppdled the execution of the Poor-law to such an extent as to occasion the death of a considerable number of the poor ? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the latter question was of too vague a nature to admit of his giving it a satisfactory answer. The papers to which the hon. gentleman Mimi"' would be prepared and presented as soon as possible. NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. LAROUCHERE the committal of this bill was postponed till Wednesday. SUGAR AND COFFEE PLANTING.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. WILSON said he would confine his observations to the precise terms included in the motion of the noble lord, and debate the question before the house, as it affected the interest of the West India planters. The argument, on which they relied might be reduced to these four—first, the immorality of slavery and the inconsistency of admitting sugar the produce of slaves while they protested to be so desirous of putting an end to slavery. Secondly, that slave labour was cheaper than free labour, and, therefore, it was unjust to subject them to so unequal a competition ; thirdly, that the exclusion of slave-grown sugar would be a protection to the British planter; and, fourthly, that the legislature had the power of protecting the colonists by charging a heavier duty on sugar the produce of slaves. He would rest his case on the discussion of these four points. With regard to the argument founded on the consldera•ion of the immoralty of slavery, he would observe, in the first place, that the relation between labiur and the employers of labour, in the early ages of every nation, was one of serf dom, and that the advance of civilisation was from a state of servitude. But these gentlemen who relied on this argument, to be consistent, must carry it to its full extent This country had an extensive trade with Brazil, a country in which slavery prevailed. It carried on a considerable I trade with Russia, where it was well known serfdom existed. I Would they exclude, therefore, the productions of these countries? Would they exclude the produce of Egypt, where the relation between the employers and the employed was of a most degrading kind ? Did they reject the tobacco and cotton of the slave-holding states of North America ? They must either abandon the trade which they had with Russia and the United States and Egypt, or they must re ceive the alave.grown sugar of Cuba and Brazil. But the great practical question to deal with was, the comparative cheapness or dearness of slave and free labour. He was aware that publications in the colonies on this subject were no more to be relied on than similar statements in this coun try. But he found it stated in a letter, written by a person in Tobago, that the cost of labour was dearer now than during the period of slavery. Statements of a similar ten dency were made Ly Sir George Scotland, and in the Mau ritius Mail, with regard to the Isle of Bourbon. Will: re gard to the Mauritius he was able to state a striking fact. In 1832, the period of the emancipation, the slaves employed in the Mauritius in field operations amounted to 32,000 ; the sugar produced in that year was 24,000 tons, or three-fourths of a ton for each per annum. Last year the produce was 0.5,000 tons, about double what it was in 1832, and it awared from last year's census that the number of free labourers employed in agriculture was only 0) 000. Heace it was apparent that these free labourers produced upwards of one ton per man, while under the system of alas ery the production was only three-fourths of a ton. (Hear, hear.) This took place in a year and under circum stances that were not peculiarly favourable to his ease. The noble lord did not seem to place much reliance on the state ments of Colonel Ilinder with regard to the labouring opu lation of Porto Rico, but as far as he (Mr. Wilson) could find out, the remarks of that gentleman were perfectly cor rect. Colonel Flinder stated that in St. Germans a part of the island where cheap sugar was produced, not more than 275 toes of sugar end 148 tone of coffee out of 19,000 tuns had been cultivated by slaves, although they constituted one-tenth of the population. namely, 01,000 out of 500,000. He thought Col. Flinder's evidence was conclusive as to the benefit of free labour in that island. But there was a stronger illustration of the superiority of free labour over slave labour in the case of Java. In 182: the exports from Java did . not exceed 23,000 cwt.. Since 1 i26, and in open competition with Cuba, Brazil, and even Surinam, the production increased from 1,000 tons to 7.5,903 tons, at which it stood last year. An Hon. MEMBER remarked that there were slaves in Jays. Mr. WILSON could not state positively how that was, but as far as he could ascer.ain from Dutch ministers, and as far as his own impression went, the labourers there were as free as they were in any part of the world. At all events, Java had b:en treated by th at home as a free colony, and her produce as free-labour produce. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then read a letter relating to the cultivation of the sugar-cane in Smgapore and Penang, from which it appeared that free labourers were able to cultivate it at a considerable profit to the proprietors. But turning . from the East, he would claim attention to what had been going . on in Europe during the last ten years. Few of us had sit:limes:iffy attended to the progress the sugar cul tivation was mak i ng on the continent. The annual produc tion of sugar from beetroot in France, Belgium, and Ger many, was certainly not lees than 100,000 tons, and not only had this sugar competed successfully with slave-labour sugar, but it hail done so under very disadvantageouseircumstancee. The produce of France last yea; was 22,000 tons, and that of Belgium 3,000 tom, though, in the latter country, the difference of duty was only 9s. in favour of the home grower over the Cuba grower. In Germany the culture was also considerable. He had a letter fiom Madgeburg, stating that • deer profit of 20 per cent. was realised on the growth; that 10,000 tons were raised within ten miles of that city, and that twelve new establishments for the culture had recently sprung up there. Now these were not circumstances with which that house could deal; and yet they must regard this cultivation as a most important cultivation—as an increving cultivation; and, consequently, as likely to give the West India interest increased trouble en competition. It was only a few years ago that the cultiva tion of beet-root inigar, waned in consequence of the with drawal of some protection that had been afforded it. What ensued ! New machines. procemes, and methods were de sisod by which the grower and maker were better enabled to sustain competition with the tropical producers. Did not this clearly prove the fallacy of the argument that slavery was absolutely necessary to the cultivation of the sugarcane! (Hear, hear.) He held in his hand a detail of the state of sugar cultivation existing throughout the world twenty emirs ago. Why at that time the countries east of th e Cape sf Good Hope produced no more than 21,000 tons of sugar , export to this country. In 1847 those countries e 240,000 tons. This was a most important fact ; the increase was the produce of free labour. • hot did the western world produce ? Twenty years ARM?
