BURDETT said that the replasation writs eine factory. At the same lime as Mr. Hunt was nit ?ware of the nature of the order, it was but natural for him to eine: plain as be had done. He (Sir F. Burdett) thought the ease of the gaoler was least considerable, and that the condor/ of the visiting Slagissrates ought to be brought under the attention of Parliament. Void that were dune, lie should be sorry to have asp nuag dote to lb. prejudice of the poor gaoler.

BUXTON asked when the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer intended to redeem his pledge of last year, to refer the queation of equalising the duties on East aud Writ Wm sugar to a Committee He stated, that from the inommuly of the market it was admitted in a late pamphlet by the Weal India proprietors, that the people of Eugland paid Ss. a hundred more than the sugars of ether countries were charged with; sa. per buodred was 51. per ton. Two buadred thousand tons were imported annually; i was . ' I equal to a tax of a million a year, paid to the West edit proprietor. by means of their monopoly. Were the market open to East as well as Went India sugar, the article • which was Op. would sink to 3d. ' • so said the Petillooers, who were very shortly to represeatthe fact to the House. If it were true, there was a tax of 16 millions levied annually beyond the proper price of sugar. Suppose it to be one fourth, sir 4 millions, it became a very serious end important subject. The extraordinary increase of the East India trade made it still more di for inquiry. The cottons exptwictl to the East Indies in 1791, amounted to UAL in 1913 to 100,0001. in MO to 1,990,006/.; they were tam yerreprobablyt,l4o.ooo/ There were no limits to the East India trade. Beside., lie dith cony of that trade lay in the returns. Sugar was the beet athlete for the purpose . —a valuable commodity, beset fur Its hulk, and therefore the least for freight. This was aht subject for inquiry. He wished to know alien the RIM Iluu. Gentleman would redeem his pledge, sad grain 4st incinity ? Mr. F. ROBINSON said, that the Act which restricted the importation of East India smear would expire next year, and Parliament soled be at liberty to deliberate upon tic subject. It dot not necessarily follow front this Bull that the duties on Past India sugar were to be assimilated to • their presses romperimen with those on Went India sugar— He eoneratulited the House oil their veneered towatils • metre enlightened and liberal spittle of policy. Mr. BRIGHT expressed big alarm for the isterests of lb* West ledia Propttetors. Mr. WILLIAMS said, that the Mal India Proprietors seemed to be noxious to get tad of all monopolies except astir owe. He denied their averment of accumulation of Hock, std thought that the sugar refiners acre as much emit. tied to • free market as the West India Proprietors. Mr. ELEILF. thought that the East India Company had doom so pal itelpatton in Ike exclusive advseitar. of the roger trade. /Inch a measure would lead to the dottrolutivw of the whole colonial systrm.

After 1 Noble Earl. he sir eon- riend w o uld net ores' his ,_ Mr. F. BUXTON explained, and urged his question again. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a re. ply, which was not heard its the gallery. Mr MONEY thought that the swear trade might to be throws open to the prodesets of the East !oldie*, because there were so assay restriction* on all the ethers. The cotton me. nofactieres, which had existed In India for 2.000 yeare, and bad attracted . adventurers to overrun the reentry by their skies, were goiwed by the prohibition of their nousuftee , tom Isere, aod the unrestricted imporiatio9 of British (id iom' there. Mr. W. SMITH contended that it was only a qneetion hollows the East and West Ironic trade, and by ni, means one of • free erode. If this measure Were Puled, it w o uld Impose a tax upon the consumers in this country of from one to Iwo millions sterling • year. There had been a mu.. tool monopoly between Great Britain and her Weet Lydia Colonies, and this measure would be to the dieledvatosee of loth, for the gain, if any, would he made out of the pockets of the consumers in the fernier, and at a great risk, and in. creased loss, In case of failure of the speculations to which it would lead, to the latter. The ihmovesble Member coo mired the mode in which the Legislature had proceeded on this subject, toed referred some detail to the proreedineo of the House its 1753. e was sorry to say that if the West India Coloniet were now is distress, it was not the Rust time by many theethey had breasts, nor did be think it would he the tail, if ellth only coarse of relief was to he (wind in* mea sures of thittlaerription. The convenience and ineonve aieece was Militia and reciprocal between this connetry and the Coloniite;'sffili If (be mosopoly were now to be relaxed in fawner of the Colonies, the people of Great Biilain would nut long milsonit to tee bnend by it. If they were 'Wooed to en to say pert of the world In search of a market fur their moire, the inhabitants of Great Britain would not rest until they had the liberty of goitre whitherenever they pleased in March of their supply of tint article. The monopoly ought in be maintained entire, or destroyed entirely, and which of the two he thought mattered hot little. • Mr. BARHAM said, that be and all those who were con. cerned *lathe Colonies were reedy to subscribe most fully to the elpeteine of the last speaker, that the monopoly ought to he preecesed entice to both parties, or loosened by both alike. pee was the principle on which they founded their eapej, to that they looked, as the charter by which their interesterwiesesecured ;lint there was rue attempt to evade the monopoly by the Optimist.. The Arai infraction of the mo nopoly was by the throwing open of the 1.0•1111 i and East bailie trade. They now proposed to introduce East ladia sugars; they might as well give up the West India Colonies altogether. This cry . about fait and liberal principles of trade was truly surprishig, as coming (mom a quarter where, until "ivy lately, no sorb principle would for • moment have been listened to—from the East India interest., pillions deriving their proete front a quarter from when:* the chicle British empire, themselves excepted, were entire', excluded. and not :st tangle Britoil, without their permission; could, *alit lately, put Isis foot. Mr. ELLICE rose to support the Bill, because it was an approach to • free trade from a slate of complete monopoly, guarding at theasme time from all injury the vested iutereeta of those engaged In that monopoly. Within that limit I.e was ready to support the seinneal of any restrictions upon any particular trade that now existed. Many of the topics that had been introduced into this diseussioo were wholly disconnected with this question ; and he should be prepared to speak to the grounds emit. winch his conduct In respect to them would rest, whenever they were brought tooter the dietiact cousideratiuu of the House. On the other hoed, some topics bed been overlooked which were intimately con ✓ected with it. The Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Curtis) bed anticipated considerable prejudice to the shippieig iutewest from this measure. He (Mr. E.) •pprebended such a fear to be groundless. If that Ilun. throne' had joined his eon tions to those of an Hon. Friend of his, fur the removal from the navigation (tithe country of • burden to ohick it was meneeesearily sabjected, he meant the convoy duty in time of war, he would much better coiroutt the interests orbit coned'. *seats, then by opposing this simmer. The charges to which the shipping interest were liable In the West ladies were oleo • grievous burden. In the island of Trinidad thee amount chimed - fur fees to the several officers, is 1814, upon a. ship of 300 tons. was 891 ; •nd that charge bad beets so meek , iesered•ed, thet, In 1820, 1501 were charged for the same fees on • ship of 350 ions. In some of the Colonies, Demerits, Beehice,and the oilier Dutch seolements, a consi. derebk reformation had taken place in *hit respect, and he believed still farther reformation was intend , d. But it would still be found that the chargeoupon a British ship in the Bri tish Colonies, exceeded by four times the amount those oat • foreign ship in • foreign colony. It might be said that if the tonowe duty were removed, the reveune would suffer. It might be so; but lithe security of the country nosed mews Its naval force, they must pi meet the interests of U. Devise. Sloes, end place it on an equal footing with that of other conotries. He had that day seertained that the whole sum charged at Charleston by the American' Government un a vessel of 963 tons, amounted to t 3 dollars. Generally *peek. ing, the ease allot Colonies was as hopeleee and desperate acwhat they had beard of the hagfish farmer. Could 'm ailer then be done to relieve them > He woold give one instaece. The island of St. Lucie lied a population of littered% 16,008 and 18,000 souls. In 1814 it was retained by Wis. euenetry, because it was the naval key to the whole of our West India posseasione. Its produce at that 'hue was from 6 to 7.000 hogsheads of eager anonally, which, during the time of good prices, produced a revenue to the propeietore of shoot 120,0001. The amount of the taxes paid by the Island before it came into our possession was 8001. sod the grouch Government, for that porn, pro vided every thing. Several Oovernors bad been 'co out by this country, one of whom, hr believed, ass cashiered fur hi, miscoodect, bat even the others exacted exoibitaut fees. In 1817, the island suffered from a hurriesue, sod was taxed Gosh, purpose's of rebuilding the public. 'foreknow', the 's house, sod ether buildings. In 1818 they had a little remission of that taxation. In 11119 another hurt, cane destroyed all the biuldiege that had hems, newly erected, and In 1820 and 1821,the island was taxed beyond endurance for the re.erection of those building', end the support of the persons sent out front this country. The Gevernor, be be. limed, was a highly meritorious officer, sod be was quite reedy to agree that his services should be liatidsonsely re warded. But if such OWVllell were to be rewarded. it ought to be done in a proper way, and this cutout ey might not to farm off its officers upon the Colonies iii I hat manure. The whole produce of the island last year iled not exceed 49,0001. and the charge fur taxes was 111.000/.—(Hear, Len.)—lt could not possibly he paid; end such a eye. tern could not go on. He stated these things in that House, became- be thought it the best way of stieugthereing the hands of Government against the incessant deemed. made upon It fur places in those Wino. s ; and be did think that Government stood greatly fu need of pm/echos hum the host of •pplicatiums ofielist nature with which it was rontlouslly pestered. It was not necessary that the colony he heel teamed phould have a distinguished officer of high rank for its Governor. Why would out • Major of • veteran hattabon, 'Weenie officer of that description, do as well? , He wee under the inspection of the Governor of Berbodues„ and therefore • G4)W1101' of lower rank would be equally efficient. He thought the whole of the conquered Cul ssss ics would be found to be nearly in the same ; they stood greatly iii need of some improvement in the loon of their goveruq(eut. The taxes, as every body knew, though t as re to ur iihfcei-es executing F d so i u m bay e a I w t ha h r o U n Go t whimsical ‘l pr ; rwi:j soil (al b : t in s l es uf er ofrr n " , thseapaud which purp ose the iediebitants found to he entirely ran y. There ought to be some form s.f gore. meet *dewed, which the 1104. tritons might he able to understood the operation of, and which would set some limit to the power of imposing taxes. He thought that would be a lit subject of inquiry for a Select Committee of the Mom in snutber &mime. He mentioned it n o w. because, from the business berme the Honer, it was nut likely that another ' , profusely would occur in the reseed Session fur dierussing the ad's'', of the Colonies; end Ise cause it was intimately conuecicil with the question non under cousiilerotion, if, as it purported, this measure were intended fur the relief of lime Weet Jodie Coluoies, Those Colonies were nor /Offering its the extreme. He feared, indeed, notwithatendiag the decoration of the Noble Lord (Londonderry), that the whole of the newest& of oh* crienery we re suffering (rola various causer, though it might be perhaps that their "fC Qae til two Causes which to 1101111 e mrasnte • • affected the whole. Amang those he should reckon the alter*. thin of the mikes 's', Ulrich had grly affected the value of property in the Col on ies. Pro p there was generally were la debt than in flAs country, and soy chance affectin g the relation of debtor nod creditor felt with greater weight upon the . plaoters. He was not in any fearof di ff er**, with his Honourable Friend- (Mr. Ricardo) opon abstract pets. cartes here, because there had never been a paper eiseremey in the West Indira; the currency there, although debased, • tied ewer - beta a metallic currency: Rat in the year 1815, wittwirer contracted in the West Indies to pay 100/. sterling, paid 155 f. in West India currency; and in 1022, for the same sets of toot steals,. be had to pay 2471 in cerreisey. The efilpOint Interest appeared to kiln to have been io less affected by the same measure. Is fart it had operated a diminution of at least one half in the value of capital vested in ship ping, and had redficid the proGts in that capital from 15 per cent. at the torrent, to hardy 5 per cent. at the highest. He mentioned (Ms mereiy in annaer to what had fallen from .the Noble Lord ou a former occasion, when, in speaking of the agricultural interest, he stated that it was the only one of all the great interests of the country that was sot in a flourishing condition. Mr. RICARDO mid he had but one observation to make upon the question of the currency, on which his Hon. Friend had made so direct an appeal to him. His Hon. Friend had stated that, in the West ladies, a person con. tractine to pay 1001. sterling, could pay it in ISIS with 151. of West India currency, andtbat now he would require to pay she same amount in sterling, 247/. of the lame cur rency, that currency bring metallic., and not baring under gone any change. That statement did appear to him, for he knew nothing of ilw facts. so very extraordinary, that he could not help thinking his Honourable Friend must have made some mistake. With revert to the quest ion before the House, If he had wanted any argointrut in favour of freedom of trade, he should have found it in the roseeclies which had heen made on the present. °erasion. The West laths planter could nut refine his own sugar; lie was obliged to mod it to thin country, for the employment of our shipping, sod was shot oat of every other In:like!. In rehire for that restric tion, he had the monopoly of the maiket of this country.— Thus It wan, that n burden wan imposed upon one clam of the subjects of chi, kinxdom fur the benefit of AO.. (ghee ; and in order to compensate those, another bur den was imposed on all the remaining classes of the community. The whole system of the trade and uaviga. tiros laws of this country, was clogged with so mach evil of that kind that as emti.e Amore was oeceesary. This question had bees very fairly compared to the agricul tural question. It was a contest bete/eta the poor lands of our West India Islands, sextant the richer land, of our East India poesensions ; and what he chiefly complained of was the great sacrifice of Inman labour Under the present system fir' no 'cooed refoilt. He could not agree with the Hon. Member for Norwich (Mr. W. Smith) in thinking that neither or the monopolies ought to be relaxed, unless a corresponding alteration took place in the other.
