But it Mat Glee said that the British West India colonies had not the gene advaatentes u Brasil and Cabs; but if you look to the min of a nominee of the house which eat in 1848, it wall he food that in Cuba and other slave-importing countries the lowest interest on capital was 12 per cent., so that planter' who required capital to carry on pro. auction had to p.y for it at that rate, while the high ist rate of interest charged for advances of capital to the planters in the British colonies was 6 per cent. The fish he had Dialed showed that it was not by increased cruelty to the dare or increased pressure on his powers ell labour that the production of sugar had been increased, but sa additional importation of machinery applicable to roger making Aran this country. He had shown that notwitb staading **disadvantage under which the West India ea Melee ' there had been a much greater increase in their as compared with the increase in the faselipt 'seducing countries, the farrow in the pmdse• akaaftM7salmbeit at the rate of 18 per cent., and 38 in the Meld& 11111101 the ; and notwithstanding the difticultieslg W Is go through with an energy which was highly e table Wits" and which was characteristic of the British people, they had la the last five years increased their pro duction by 38 per. cent., while in the slave-importing coon. tries it had increased only by 18 per amt. It was obvious that from the first time they bad embarked is thin contro versy it was impound* to leave oat of calculation the inte rests of the mummer at home. For though for years the policy of this country had testiest' the production of the necessary article of sugar to oar colonies up to 1835, yet it would be impossible, and if it was possible, it would be unfair to have left the commerce to depend on timer colonies alone. As regarded the increase of consump tion, the effect had been that in 1815 there was an average consumption of 207,000 tone of sugar a year, which woe bought at an espeaditare of 12,420,0001. ; and suppos ing the duty had remained the same as it was in that peer, the amount to be paid by the consumer oa the in areesed quantity purchased now would have been 28.000,0001., so that there had been an advantage to the eeas.mer of ten millions a year by the act of 1845. But it might be said that the revenue had suffered. No doubt at both did, but how had it been eines ? In 1848, the duty en wieniel sugar was at the rate of 255. per cwt., and on eager 03s. per cwt., producing a revenue of five Marling, while the duty on rum produced 98,1001.. mahlat • Wtal of 6.981,0001. Liter reducing the duty on esieaialalgae from 26e. to 10s. per cwt., and that on foreign ewer from 83s. to 14s. fid., the revenue for the last year mopes sugar, 4,346,0001., and on rum 1,100.0001., making a total of 4480,0001. as compared with 6,981,0001. is 1846; so that the revenue bad received to within 60,0001. of the former amount, while there had been a bene fit of ten millions to the costumer. It would be found also that the receipts of the planter were higher now than at the former prices • for if yea took the price of 1848, that is: 361. a tea, it would be found that 207,000 toss produced 7,235,0001.; while, if you took the present price of 261. a ton, 809,000 would pro duce 8,185,0001 so that the Outer received nearly half a million mere this he did before.

The ban. gentleman had said that his melee es this mea d= was 'Whale the polity of the bet Ave years, and he IseJ. Pabst's) asked for as great en induog while defended the view he had taken daring that time in re. = t o t e ll e a n try. He did aot wonder that the hen. gem- have taken every advantage he the of W sageseest, of the remarkable eireunieleser7t: wager trade la the present year ; but with regard to the pawl state of this most important subject, and with re gard to the prospects of the sugar colonies, he (Sir J. Pa-' kington) would end to speak with the mat perfect candour. He was disposed to shrink from as avowal of his opinion ; or of a change of opinio n ; and he thought that the part • public man should be really ashamed of was any hesitation in the contagion, that in any former view he had been mistaken. But in this instance, in justice to himself, and after reviewing all that he had said or dose on the subject, he was bound to observe that he was not now disposed to retract anything. He admitted frankly that the figures which marked the sugar trade for the current year were figures which he had no t eapected to have seen ; and, on the other hand, he thought it probable that if be had asked the hon. gentleman himself twelve months ago, or eves so late as last February, whether he anticipated such figures as those which had been referred to the other evening by the Chancellor of the Fashequer, he would have considered them se very extra vagant. The hon. gentleman had recited on this occuion the objection urged by him (Sir J. Pakiugten) end his friends to the policy of the noble lord the member for the City of London : those objections being that in the first place the act of 1816 would encourage the slave trade; next, that it would gum,. lato the produce of sugar produced by the in strumentality of slaves; and thirdly, that it would injure the interests of our own sugar producing colonies; and the hon. gentleman had contended that in every one of them respects the predictions had been haled. Here he ld main jit°liiiiritliletd.huaiNut to ts! a v t i l e th li si i t i . ::: e . tan bo t i7e a . d h lr e e i . s n p ti r T em ed h i e n c n ti h n o n n e s n . h d a g d e h :l t ie l w e e m o n u en men tioned the circumstances of the slave trade in 1810; and he then appealed to the great and gratifying diminution in that trade during the last year (1851). Bat the hon. gentleman neglected two important pointy. He did not advert to the condition of the slave trade previous to 1846; and he made no reference to the state of the slave trade during the years which inter vened between 1846 and 1851. All that the hon. gentle. man had said, in the way of distinction, was, that the import of slaves into Brazil in 1846, although large, was nut to be taken into calculation, inasmuch es that war the tear in which the legislation in question to k place, and ence the circumstances of that year could not bare been effected by our legislation. But there was a parliamentary paper on the table which showed the whole facts very conclusively. In 1842 the import of slaves to Brazil was 17,405; in 1843, 19,095; in 1844, 22,849; and in 1845, 19,443. He passed the year 1846 as not in question, and he came to 1847, in which the import was 56,173; in 1818, 60,000; in 1849, 64,000; in 1850, 23,000. difference, therefore, was prodigious; and it was impossible to resist the conclusion, lookiug to the nature of our legislation, that the act of 1846, introducing slave produce into this country, had given en enormous stimulus to the sieve trade, and bed been the cause of that rapid and startling increase which the figures he had read would show. In 18.51, however, as the hon. gentleman pointed out, the import into Br asil suddenly dropped to 3,267. He stated the fact with great pleasure; and in the present year it would be found, he was glad to know, that the slave traffic to Brazil bad almost ceased. But he hoped the hon. gentleman would not think he was veep unfair if he stated his suspi cions that the glut, as he might call it, of the slave market in Brazil in 1851, and the almost complete cessation of the trade in 1852, were not wholly unconnected with the moos number of slaves forced into Brazil in the four pre ceding years. The circumstances of the traffic in those pre ceding years were such as he believed had given the Brazi lian government some alarm, so that a sudden fall in the numbers imported took place ; and he confessed he was not sanguine that future years would be marked by the same absence of a slave trade to Brazil which distinguished the present year. In regard to Cuba, much the same circumstances and results were ob servable. (The right hoe. gentleman here read the figures illustrating his argument.) The number imported into Cabs had fallen from 8,749, in 1849, to 5,000 in 1851 ; but the hon. gentleman was no doubt aware of the fact, which it was melancholy to state, that in the present year the slave trade to that island had been increasing, and the new captain-general of Cuba was not, it woe to be apprehended, by any means disposed to discourage the trade. Putting the whole of these facts together he thought be had said I enough to show that on this point the results had borne out his sad his friends' predictions. Het came, then, to the second argument urged against the act of 1846, that it would tend to give a stimulus to the production of slave-grown sugar. Here he had in some degree to complain of the figures used by the hon. gentleman, though no doubt the hon. gentleman was entitled to use thou figures which beat assisted his own view of the case. Mit, here, again, he was prepared to show, as far as an inference could be drawn from facts, that the act of 1846 had given an enormous stimu'us, as • wow quote, of giving a stimulus to the slave trade itself, to the produce of sugar grown and manufactured by means of', slave labour; and that while this country had been mak ing prodigious efforts to suppress this disgraceful traffic, this unhappy legislation of 1846, as he would still insist on calling it, had had the effect to this greatest degree that legislation could have, of forcing the growth of sugar produced by slave labour. The hon. gentleman was no doubt aware that the information which was obtained with respect to this subject from Brazil, war given in regard to " casks" and other quantities little known in England ; and he (Sir J. Pakington) had therefore reduced the returns to ewts. The hon. gentleman had not touched the state of the sugar market of Brazil prior to 1846 ; he had only admitted the great increase since 1846. But attention to the figures which represented the state of things previous to 1846 in Cuba was also very necessary. The average exports of the lbw years ending 1845 from Cuba were 3,191,706 cwt. , and the average exports front Cuba in the four years ending 1850 (passing over the transitive year 1846) were 4,945,814 ewts. He would now show the house the aggregate results, taking the produce of these two slave growing countries. The average exports of the four years previous to 1846 were 4,290,841 cwts., and of the four years ending 18.50 were 6,288,770 ewtx, showing an increase in the latter four years ' of 1,97.5,839 cots. Well, he thought he might appeal to these figures with the same confidence that he did to his figures on the slave trade, to show that the effect of the legislation of 1846 was to give a great stimulus to the pro duce of sugar by slave labour. He now came to the third point—namely, the effect on our sugar producing colonies. Now, the hon. gentleman had met this part of the subject, he must say, with great coolness. That the consumers in this country had derived great benefit he was perfectly willing to admit. The imports to this country had swollen from somewhere about two millions of cwts., at the beginning of the century, to about four dllion cwts. at the extinction of slavery, and now amounted to upwards of six million cwts., cheapened enormously by our recent legislation, in consequence of which, while the comforts of the consumer bad been greatly promoted and the revenue had not fallen off, or only in a alight degree, that the hon. gentleman should have dwelt on these results wee to have beet. expected, but to say that our West India colonists had not suffered was a statement fur which he was not prepared, and from which he mast totally dissent. Personally appealed to, as he had been on this subject, he trusted he might be excused if he brought fur ward proofs of the tremendous sufferings inflicted on our colonists, sufferings greater ho believed thin any country in the world had ever inflicted upon any portion of its subjects. His difficulty in approaching this part of the subject arose out of the mar of matter which had accumulated within the last few years. His duty had been to make • selection of the proofs which might best illustrate the ext. at of thou sufferings. He would begin with a pamphlet written by big noble friend the member for Lynn. lie believed he had read this extract before, but what did his noble friend say He said, "1 was prepared for desolation, but not for what I Law. The whole land was strewed with rules of bosses and mills, and those not old, hut new build ings." He then goes on to say, a ft er alluding to other mat ters with which I will not trouble the house, and remember this statement was not made at • distant period—it was made with regard to what he saw in 1850. He would now read another extract front the pamphlet, again referring to British Guiana, in which he said, and he believed the substance of this was taken from a very important re mtpresented by certain commissioners in British .., which gave a most gloomy account of the condition and prospects of that islaad. The pamphlet west on to say Of a total of about 600 estases now or formerly exist ing in British Guiana, the COMMilliollreporied 80 as having beg placed under sequestration between 1847 and 1849. I have it on private authority that in the last year 19 mien have been placed on the list, while 33 have been dispelled of be execution sale. In one month seven estates were sold. Their collective value at one rime was upwards of 170,0004. Their price last year was between 14,0001. and 15,0001. (Hear, hear.) Then Lord Harris, in as important despatch, referring to what the hon. gentleman bad dwelt on so much to-day, namely, the increase of the ewer*, said, " Notwithstanding, it can be shown without smash difficulty, that not only has there been no pelt during • term of years on all the estates ten gether, but, on the contrary, there has been a dead loss of British capital to the amount of at least • million sterling." This was the evidence of Lord Harris, referring to the effect of increased exports. li• wadi not dwell now—though it must be fresh in the mallet:6o' of the hon. putlemen—on the fearful events that took place in the Mauritius in 1848, which almost ruined that country, to which, he was happy to gay, had sham' passed away sad yen way much better prospects. He weld sow take liberty of needing a letter; and, as it was • private cemiraunicatton, he would not mention the name of the writer, but would give it to the hon. gentle. man. The writer was a respectable planter in Jamaica, and he said: "Bo utterly do I despair of this colony Masi teem the load of distress under which she has suffered, and still suffers, that I am now offering, quite voluntarily on my part, to give up my estate for a debt of lam than one-fifth of its value, while my parental estate in this land is abandon e d though s till in my own haute." This was a letter dated June of the present year. He now turned to another ratted of the same kind ; and here again be would not mention the name, but be also was a proprietor. He 1819 thou estates netted the proprietor 22,0001." An Hole. M Sir J. PAKINOTON—Yes, in one year. The writer proceeds to say—" They COW return no income whatever and this is the case with thousands." And here let him add that that very morning he had received a letter from a gentlest& with whom he had no acquaintance, but he pre sumed he mut be a large proprietor, for he told him that he had 32 properties in Jamaica belonging to him, and that if some change did not speedily take place it was his intention to write out by an early packet to abaadon the whole of there 32 properties. Now he appealed to the house whether the hon. gentleman was jug- Wed to take such a view as he had done of the of lem of this legislation. Be It just or unjust, belt beneficial to the consumers at home or injurious, he said the hon. gentleman was not justified in attempting to hold out that this legala tion had not produced • most frightful ruin of our West Indio colonist.. (Hear, bear.) lie would now read an ex ' tract from a letter to • gentleman of very great intelligence who had come lately to this country front Jamaica. He came here about six months ago in an official position, and he would give his name to the hoe. gentleman if he wished it. This was a letter received a few days ago by his brother , describing what had taken place in Jamaica tines his dlegerture. He said, "I have duly received your wel- Gnu letter of the 21st ult." This was dated the Eft November, 1852. " It found me in low spirits. You Mt form no conception of the depression, day by day, 'Ow on here. You have not yet been sway six months, sad the change would alarm you. Our lower orders are blooming daily moo reckless ; putting aside all decency: sad vice and crime are walking the street'. Our better duns are losing nil hope, and the aspect of things is truly distressing." The last evidence with which he would trouble the house on this pert of the subject—for he thought the house would believe that evidence was not wanting—was an official paper. It was headed " • return of public taxes, rates, and dues lately raised or to be col lected for the coming year, 1852." It was a general state ment of the rates and taxes to be levied upon Jamaica generally, and the first column shewed the value at which the property of Jamaica was assessed for the purpose of tax ation. It gave every country and every parish, and the result was, that in the year 1861 the rateable value of Jamaica property, by this return, wen 9,499,7901 ; b u t the rateable value of Jamaica property in the preceding year, 1850, was 11,566,3791. (Hear, hear.) Now, he asked the house if he could adduce a more painful prof of tih a rible distress in which their Imitated legislatio n loo t i n :: r• the West India colonist', than by showin g then that i: 4 year the value of property in Jamaica had deer,,„.. 1 4, wards of two millions of money, and two-. leveroli..a'ot whole of the property of the country.

Th e boo. gime spoke of adopting this policy once and fur ever. and be boasted of the policy of 1816. Now, he must say that d there was one thing which he had learned from his cap e , teepee in that house, it was to disavow, if note treat with ridicule, any idea of final settlement by e n e, ment of great financial and commercial speculations. (Hear; In meteors of indisputable principle, on great principl e , 4 right and wrong they might come to a filial settlement, but when they came to deal with matters concerning t ,,, comforts of the people, with fiscal arrangements, he ma id that final settlement was an absurdity; and what so more, that if parliament were to attempt to arrive at too settlement it would be binding the fleet functiea s el the legislature. Why, it wu their duty to roomier the de. mends of the people—it was their duty to consider in these fiscal and commercial matters what the merest of the country snidely required. lie was not now spe e lo o ,,,, f m of the questions of the present day more particularly. 14 was only laying down • rile, that he thou.:lit every , oe u sible man, whatever his feeling mightbe, Inuit sulecrila to.

Why, was there not enough in the procredinga of parliament on this very sui.j. o t to make them very cautious how they embarked in keg settlements 1 Why the noble lord, th e member for Londe., when he proposed this measure iu 1846, exp reo l y rl o al oto i that he did it with a view Weansl uttlemeot—and how .41 did it last? Not two years. It was passed is Ase'ai, 1846, and it was—if he might be permitted to cola a tor word—unfinalised in J uly, 1818. In 1804, it wu Need ttio She legislation of 1646 was no longer tenable and his right hoe. friend the then Chancellor of the ze E li Niue wo obliged to come dawn to that house and propose an ine portant modification in the bill of 1846, but the thorns, ' the very great distren which had previously existed,did me pars away. The alteration ache law, however, hula ono effect. Is 1848 the price had fallen to an unteunt he,: • almost Duos it had ever been. It fell to 23.. hot per mt . The quantity of foreign sugar retained for home consume. • lion had risen under the new act to the enormous amountid ; 1,120,783 cwt.., and the consumption of colonial auger had I fallen to 3,500,381 iewts. '1 he result of the change of the l law in 1848 was to cheek this great consumption of fore ap • sugar, and to give an encouragement to home grown sugar. He found that in 1849 tin figures materially • altered. The foreign sugar consumed at home smeanted te I 496,475 carts. ' while the consumption of colonial sago had I risen to 4,034 ,981 cwts. But in the year 1850 this state of , things was again changed. In 1850 the foreign mese i retained for home consumption ruse to 820,967 cats., era • colonial sugar fell to 3,786,000 ewes. It was in this year, . 18.50, that the great distress of these colonies wan sena on parliament. He joined a hon. frie n d of ho, no l'or:;: l a member of this bowie, Sir Edward Buxton, is pressing the matter on government. Ile was thea defeated, bat he saw no reason te regret the course he then twit. , The year 1851 passed by without any renewed effort, et. apt that at the close of the session he himself woo: upon the house in the strongest terms as he On thought, and still thought, the injustice done to the British colonists, and that they should adopt the plea which the Chancellor of the Exchequer bad consented to adept, namely, that the British grower sheuid he : allowed to reties in bond. That was the only monezint ' which was male in that session. Ito now came to the which had been pointedly commented on, and very lusey sad—he made no complaint—by the hon. member, namely, the notice which he himself gave at the close of the e. 4-4 of 1861, that at the commencement of the session of Nl, ha should draw the attention of parliament to this subject, mail press upon them the necessity of modifying the law of 1048. The hon. gentleman had stated, with perfect truth, that at the commencement of last session he renewed Oat , notice, and at the time when the present government caw into office that notice was standing in the order book in la name as • dipped notice. Atter he came into ofue he gave explanations which the hos. gentleman had adverted to why it wee not his intention to bring it forward last session, and he was new prepared to say why he gave that notice, and why he concurred in the announcement made by her Majestj's government now. The state of thine. ss regarded the sugar trade at the commencement of the lot session was this: The foreign cog r entered for bone res gumption had risen to an amount entirely without prece dent; it had risen to 1,21.6,041 cats., and the consumption of British sugar bad fallen to 3,596,868 cwts. They thus found an immense increase in the consumption of foreign slave-grown *agar, and a simultaneous falling off in coio nial sugar. But that was not all. Towards the end of 1851 the price had fallen to au extremely low amouat, in amount at that time without precedeut, and far :over than the price which had caused such panic and d i stress in 1848. In November and December of that year, the highest price of soy week was 21s. 10,1., the lowest price 19s. Well, what took plat at the commencement of 1852 ? Why, the prices kept taihne. ; They ranged from 22e. to 21s. in February, in the first two weeks in March they fell to 19s. id., and in the last we ' the price was 20s. The first week in April it was h .M., the lowest price that sager had ever been known in thus country. This was the state of things in which he we. pre. pared to move in the spring of lut year. The year l'il had been distinguished by three circumstances of the gravest importance emanated with the sugar trade of this worry, namely, an increase of foreign sugar, a Smelts aeons decrease of home-grown sugar, and a depression in price wholly unparalleled in the history (tithe sugar trade; and he was not ashamed to say that it was on that state of things that he was prepared to appeal to government, and had it not been for the change of government, which almost deranged their proceedings, be should have appealed to parliament to afford redress for this state of things. But what was the state of things now? It sue state of things which the hon. geotlemaa himself could eat have anticipated. He most cordially wished that this state of thing s ht go on. Ha found that in the tel mouthed the year 1 ending inOctober,the British sugar catered fat isted. home imaseimptiou was 1,250, 168 ewe., and in th e tea months ending is October, 1842, this h ad risen to 3,085,21: eats., showing an enormous find in nrespwt tiforeigumar ineresse ? Why . And that w th ha e t r d et id e4re he sugar retained for home consawiptioa in the first ten month, of 1861 which was 1,089,723 swim. had fallen more thaw ose-half in the first tea months of 1554, the yam• tity than being only 480,540 cwts. The figures were e as ettpleilLelyhadreversedinen..dleo.rel endga eager there improvement in the prim, which, instead of =l . Bs.

Well, thew. he had no hesitation in avowing that, whatever his h bla ad d" b r ee ea tr d i Britishsi mul- views of the policy of 1846 and 1848 might be, that, locative at the solemn decision of parliament on this subject—look ing at the extent to which the comfort of the home producer was out of office or in office did not make the *lightest dif ference; but these figure. had so changed the aspect of tee the wa s = ern o f C—ohedne,moo cert ainly to aly revokecoul could not policy. be aP4B 11'ret t ag he siseetion that he could be no party, under such Citlllol. • 111.011110. is coming to that house to ask for s he woul d in the protection. But, much as he o imbed it, he would c.. esessel from the hon. gentleman and the house that by go sot sanguine with regard to the continuation of this state of Wags. He believed there were two causes to which this state of things might be in • Ins measure attributed— ' One was, that the crops in Cuba and Porto Rico had cot alterably failed. Another cause he believed to be that the • ruinously low prices in the spring of this year drove steel the sugar from our market to the United States. The bon gentleman might perhaps say that this world not acceust for the increase of the British colonial sugar. Ile admitted that; but he believed that that increase was to be aloe buted to the fact that while the crops in Cuba and l'orto Woo had failed, the crops in the West Indies bad been es markably the reverse. On the other band he was mast willing to admit, and he was glad to bear the honour able gentleman allude to, the energy, the vigour, and the good spirit which, under th e most &drew circumstances, had distinguished the British colonist. From a return of the experts in January, 1831, and .13911. aty, 1851, it appeared that those from Jamaica had fehre off from upwards of 1,400,000 cwt. to 627,768 cwt. Bathe does, however, was exporting much more ; and the exports of Trinidad were also greater than they had been under 'Every. British Guiana, although it exported less then during slavery, had made a great effort ; and he was williee to upon the whole take a most favourable view of four out of the five principal sugar producing colonies. The stets of those colonies (namely, British Guiana, Trinidad, Barbs: does, and Mauritius), showed that this must be regarded mainly as • labour question. (Hear, hear.) Berbailov was abundantly supplied with labour, and consequently it had both greatly increased its produce and cheapened dp rate of production. (Hear, hear.) Still he was net or" sanguine. (The right hen. gentleman then quota a de spatch from Governor Iligginson, of Mauritius, who es . pressed an opinion that owing tea combeuroe n of tartan/t , , circumstances, and the increasing olf.reliance , et , the planters, their hopes fur the pe resin , lit i gm, pertly of the colony, were in the course ,( . 4 _ fulfilment, and he trusted would at no distant day ' t realised ; but he went on to say that he made the. endow. ° with great diffidence, for he could nut overlook the sevrr: e t i e of the competition to which they were subiecteell tee , .. to their proximity to India the colonists had been_ abl e le : procure a large supply of c' olive, gnu they might by,, 1 .'!,, means triumph over their dif fi culties.
