PARROTT, Secretary. certain statement, with which I will not trouble the house, I have here embodied before me the claims of the sugar-producing colonies for relief from this country. They ask-1, that we should arrest the descent of the duties on foreign sugar ; 2, that we should reduce the duties on British plantation sugar • 3, that we should guarantee additional loans to be raised by the respectisie colonies for the purposes of immigration and improve ment ; 4, that we should permit the refinement of sugar in bonded refineries for home consumption as well as for exportation ; 5, that we should permit the use of molas ses in breweries; and 6, - that we should equalise the duties on rum and British spirits. (Hear, hear.) Now I have to consider whether I can recommend to arrest the descent of the duties on foreign sugar, or reduce the duties on British plantation sugar. I have to consider that question in a Parliament which has been elected to establish and develope the principle of unrestricted com petition. I should find, under any circumstances, gstot difficulty in making such a recommendation ; and if I saw the market overwhelmed by foreign productions— if I saw, in consequence of the incoherent and wanton legislation of this country, contradicting their original agreements, and violating their original compact,—if I saw ruin falling upon all the sugar-producing colonies of the Crown—l still should probably hesitate before, after the verdict of the country, I could recemmend a recourse to differential duties to arrest the progress of such ruin, and to mitigate the suffering which would be the con sequence of such events. (Hear, hear.) But when I examine the facts, I am not called upon to consider that. (Hear, hear.) When lam asked to arrest the descent of the duties on foreign sugar, an d to reduce the duties on British plantation sugar, I naturally inquire what is the state of the market with reference to the production of these two commodities ; what is produced by the British plantations, which re quire their duties to be reduced ?--what is produced by the foreign plantations, the descent of the duties on which is to be arrested ? Is there such evidence before the house and the country of an impossible rivalry be tween the British and the foreign sugar-producing colo nies that it would justify a Government under any cir cumstances coming forward to Parliament and asking for factitious protection and support to the British sugar producing colonies ? (Hear,) Sir, this is not a subject of sentiment, as the hbn. gentleman said the other night ; it can only be decided by a reference to facts. (Hear, hear.) I shall place before the house the facts as they at present exist ; and then I will leave the house—gen tlemen on both sides—to form their opinions. (Hear, hear.) By the representation which I have just read, we are asked to believe that the competition between our colonial sugar and foreign sugar is a competition that cannot be endured. We can only infer from the remedies which are recommended that ruin will be the necessary consequence of such a change in the duties not being adopted. But I will ask the house for a moment to attend to the last return which I have here drawn up to the sth of November, of the quanti ties of sugar, refined and unrefined, entered for home consumption in the United Kingdom in the first ten months of 1851 and 1852. In that period of 1851 there were entered for home consumption 2,251,000 cwt. of West India sugar; in 1852, 3,094,000 cwt. (Hear, hear.) Mauritius, which sent us in the first ten months of 1851, 804,000, sent us in the first ten months of 1852, 976,000. (Hear, hear.) The East Indies, which sent us 1,037,000 to November, 1851, sent us 1,300,000 in the same period of 1852.. (Hear, hear.) Our united colonies, if I may so call them, sent us 4,094,000 cwt. in the first ten months of 1851, and 5,373,000 in the first ten months of 1852. (Hear, hear.) It would appear from this statement that there is no necessity for reducing the duty, on British colonial sugar, and I now have to see whether" we ought to arrest the descent of the duties on foreign sugar. The quantity of foreign unrefined sugar entered for home consumption in November, 1851, amounted to 1,218,000 cwt. ; but in November, 1852, instead of being 1,218,000 cwt., the quantity entered for home consumption amounted to only 570,000 cwt. (Hear, hear.) I find, also, that the quantity of foreign refined sugar has been reduced, though not proportionately. In November, 1851, the quantity of foreign refined sugar entered for home con sumption was 268,000 cwt. ; while in November, 1852, it amounted to only 243,000 cwt. It may be said that these are merely figures ; but I beg to observe that, in this instance, figures constitute the case. This is a question of figures, and the result of the figures I have quoted is, that their being, in 1851, 4,126,000 cwt. of British sugar against 1,487,000 cwt. of foreign, in 1852 there were 5,378,000 cwt. of British against only 814,000 cwt. of foreign. (Cheers.) In other words, British production has increased by 1,250,000 cwt., and foreign production has decreased by about 600,000 cwt. (Hear, hear.) I may be called a traitor—l may be called a renegade (much laughter and cheering) ; but I want to know whether there is any gentleman in this house-- wherever he may sit—who would recommend a differen tial duty to prop up a prostrate industry, which is actually commanding the metropolitan market ? (Cheers.) It is unnecessary to enter into any argument on the point. No person would propose an increase of differen tial duties except to obtain a definite object. If that object be to give the command of the home market to our colonies, it is already attained. (Hear, hear.) As far as the quantity consumed—which must, after all, be the test of the quantity produced—is concerned, it is quite clear that no alteration of duties could do more than our own sugar-producing colonies already effect. (Hear, hear.) I will not say that our colonies effect this result by their superior energy, because I am unwilling to enter into any discussion on that subject, but the fact itself admits of no dispute, whatever difference of opinion may prevail es iv the causes of the fact. Well, then, I am asked to guarantee additional loans to!be raised by the respective colonies for the purpose of immigration and improvement. Now certainly a more legitimate object of exertion on the part of the colonies than the promotion of immigration of foreign labourers cannot be conceived ;, and it is one which ought to be encouraged in every suitable way. I am ready to show to my friends and the house that the Government have not been inattentive to this subject. Our attention—as well as that of the preceding Govern ment—has been called to the subject of Chinese immi gration into the British sugar-producing colonies ; and we hold it to be one of the utmost importance. Having unfortunately a great deal to say upon other topics, I will not weary the house by going into many details on this subject, although they are all of the 'lost interesting kind. Here, however, lies before me a memorandum of what—as far as the present Government is concerned — has been done on the subject of immigration into the West Indian colonies. (Here the right hon. gentleman read an extract, which stated that Sir J. Pakington had re commended the appointment of a Government agent to superintend the measures to be adopted for the encourage ment of emigration—that this agent was now established at Hongkong, that by his exertions three shiploads of Chinese labourers had been despatched to Trinidad, and that the colony of British Guiana had, on its own account, made arrangements for importing 1,700 immigrants.) Thus, it appears that the Government has already despatched three ships with immigrants, and that British Guiana has placed its private machinery in motion, and is about to import 1,700 more ; in short, it is clear that Chinese immigration is going on. (Hear.) When, however, I am asked to come forward and propose a loan to assist immigration, I must place before the house some facts connected with the question. Let it not be supposed that I dwell too long on subjects which some mar con ceive to be not of vast importance. There are great questions to be settled to night, and, unless we meet the claims of parties who allege that they are aggrieved, we shall not be advancing in the great enterprise in which we have embarked. (Hear, hear.) When lam asked to propose a loan for the benefit of the colonies, it is ne cessary to look at the relations existing between the Go vernment and the West Indian interest in reference to this subject. Under the 11th and 12th of Victoria, the Government is empowered to guarantee loans to the West India colonies, at 4 per cent. interest, and not exceeding 500,0001. in amount, for the promotion of immigration and improvement. What sums have been allotted out of the 500,0001. ? British Guiana has been allotted 250,000/.; Trinidad 100,000/ ' , and St. Lucia 3,0001. ; altogether 363,000/. have b een allotted out of 500,000/. 'There is at present under the con sideration of the Treasury a recommendation that 100,0001. should be allotted to Jamaica. Suppose that done, there will still remain 47,000/. unapplied. But this is not all. Of the sum of 250,0001. allotted to Bri tish Guiana, only 120,0001. have been taken ; and of the sum of 100,0001. allotted to Trinidad, only 40,000 1. . have been taken. (Hear, hear.) How can a claim loansbe justly urged on the Government to propose fre s hs thatducing the encouragement of immigration te ducing colonies when the sum already P hear.) I r_ ? Trided VI- that a-to would pro pose object has not yet been exhausted ? on ( reflection, feel am sure the West India body j th us a t t ify circ th um e circumstances, pose a fresh loan. (Hear, hear.) I now come r a ion. I have give n r to be refined in bond for home m as en t at in pre c s o ew n n i it i l ;g exisfothrL that we will permit sugar to the fourth request of the West India . body,nam namely, t t,' for exportation. It will be re memberedably that the question was debated in this t h o ius consumptions subject h y Lord Ila George Ys weaenll as B st entinck. No doubt this would the g reat boon to our sugar-producing c ol onies. willlbes very put r the case before house as briefly as I c an , an d I cann ot do so more clearly tha n b y t o suppose that the year 1854 has arrived, when house no differential duty will remain, but when all sugar:— whether foreign or colonial —will be subject to an equal duty of 10s. It is represented to us that the saccharine matter of foreign sugar, unrefined, is considerably c I o t n a t p a p i n e s a r a s b t o h u a t t 9 e o v p e e r yr cent. h un d o r f e d e, a - w c c e h i g r i h n t e of foreign greater in amount than th a t o f British colonial sugar. f°r matter, ei wh s i u l e g a a r hundredweight of colonial contains only from 70 to 75 per cent. ; compared with the coarse sugar of the East Indies, the difference in favour of the foreign is still greater, being as 90 to 60. The house will perceive, that though each kind of sugar would pay the same nominal duty, .yet, as the foreign sug ar-- in the p rocess of manufacture results in a much superior article, there would practically be a differential duty in its favour. If we levy a 10s, duty on two kinds of sugar, one of which pro duces 90 per cent. of saccharine matte r, and the other _ only 70, the result would be equiv alent to a differential duty in favour of the former. (Hear, bear.) What the West India interest ask is this —that the duty may be taken on the refined produce instead of on the raw pro. duce. (Hear, hear.) There are, no doubt, objections to this arrangement connected with the revenue of the country ; but I do not think that considerations con nected with revenue constitute a sufficient ground for resisting the claim of an interest in the position of the West India colonies. (Cheers.) Here we have an opportunity of conceding to them a great boon, which is quite consistent with the principle of unrestricted compe tition. '(Cheers.) I announce, on the part of the Go vernment, that we are prepared to concede this boon-- we think it ought to be conceded, and we believe it will afford great relief and also give a fresh impulse to the manufacture of colonial sugar. (Hear, heap.) Of course, the boon will be conceded subject to : ornhill, 17th November, 1852.

We propose that if he avails himself of this privilege of enlisting in the royal navy, he shall not receive his wages until the rest of the crew are paid off. We propose, further that if by the royal navy availing itself of this privi lege any injury is done to the captains of mer chant ships, the country must be prepared to com pensate the captain for the injury he may thus re ceive. (Hear, hear.) The next admiralty grievance which has been brought before us relates to the question of salvage. For the reason which I have already ex pressed—namely, the necessity of my avoiding as much as I possibly can detail to-night, when so many subjects are under our consideration, I will not enter into the question of salvage, as it affects the mercantile marine. I am quite sure I could state cases to the house as to the operation of the present system under which salvage is conducted which would show that the mercantile ma rine is grievously affected by it. I think we ought not, however, for a moment to indulge a feeling that the Royal navy is to be charged with reprehensible conduct in this matter. (Hear.) have no doubt myself, from all I can observe and learn from inquiry, that the con duct of the officers of the Royal navy, especially of late years, is distinguished by a generous sympathy with all classes of their countrymen, which cannot be too highly praised. I have no doubt that in the navy as well as in all departments of life much more humanising tendencies are exerting their influence than there did 25, or 40, or 50 years ago. (Hear.) But the system remains, not withstanding the incr e as e d civilisation of man, and in its operation will be found that instances will occur when the oppression is considerable. (Hear.) There is no doubt that in this country, notwithstanding our boasted panegyrics of the mercantile marine, notwithstand ing the readiness of orators at all times to descant upon the mercantile marine being the nursery of our navy, the mercantile marine has been treated as an inferior service —(hear)—has not certainly, I may say without exaggeration, been treated in the spirit which becomes a commercial people. (Hear.) But I have no doubt my self that in this affair of salvage, if you contrast the conduct of the Royal navy with what the conduct of the Royal navy was many years ago, you will find that their conduct has been extremely improved, has been much more considerate, has been often distinguished by great generosity. (Hear, hear.) But the fact remains, that at the present moment even there are instances of the effect of the system of salvage upon our mercantile marine, which I have before me now, but with which I will not trouble the house—if I were only speaking upon the question of salvage I would—which convince her Majesty's Government that the present system of salvage ought not to be encouraged, and therefore we are prepared to recommend that it should entirely cease. j (Cries of " hear, hear.") I need say very little on the subject of anchorage. That is a regulation that, like salvage, depends, I belieie, entirely upon the Admiralty; and the Admiralty are prepared to say that all vexa tions of that kind shall also be concluded—(hear, hear)—and from henceforth, if our propositions are favourably received, no merchant's vessel will be disturbed in its anchorage by the superior claim of a ship belonging to the royal navy. (Hear, hear.) Sir, there is a subject of paramount importance con nected with the shipping interest to which I must now refer ; and that is the restrictions which at present exist upon manning the merchant navy. (Hear, hear.) In the opinion of her Majesty's Government they are re strictions which in principle are indefensible. (Hear, hear.) They are very doubtful whether, even in prac tice, they are beneficial. (Hear, hear.) They think that the time has arrived, or cannot be long postponed, when those restrictions must entirely cease. (Hear, hear.) But we must consider them in deference—l do not say to the prejudices of the country, but in defer ence to the feelings of large classes, and in deference, in a certain degree, to the circumstances with which we have to deal. We cannot consider the question of man ning the mercantile marine in an isolated manner ; we must view it with reference to another subject of great importance—viz., the subject of manning the royal navy. (Hear.) We trust that we, in ' due time, shall have to submit to the house measures which will effect a very great change in the system on which the royal navy is manned. (Hear.) The house may be persuaded that the time cannot much longer be postponed when that question must be met. Nothing can be more unsatis factory, I would almost say more irrational than the sys tem upon which the royal navy is manned—the system which dismisses the seasoned seamen—(loud . cries of hear, hear—when he is most qualified to do his duty to his country. (Renewed cries of "hear, hear.") There is no reason whatever that we should apply to the Royal navy other principles than those that we apply to the sister service. (Hear, hear.) ' Indeed, there is every reason why we should render the Royal navy the most efficient service in the world. (Hear.) The attentioil -, of her Majesty's Government is anxiously directed to this question. We are awaiting now the report of a committee sitting upon this great subject. Irrespective of that report, there are many ?considerations which would make us feel it ou r d u ty 'to bring' the question before Parliament. I trust that when the question is brought forward it will be brought forward in a manner satisfactory to the country and satisfactory to this house ; and, if the plans which we shall feel it our duty to recommend to the consideration of Parliament be adopted, I think we shall then be justified in termina ting these restrictions upon the manning of the mercan tile marine. (Hear, hear.) But I trust that the shipping interest, feeling, as I hope they will, from the manner in which her Majesty's Government have met their case, that they are not anxious to evade any ques tion, but only to do that which they think will be of ad vantage to the country generally, will not press a point of such importance at this moment, when, virtually, it is under the consideration of the Government. (Hear, hear.) I have now touched upon all the points of any importance which are comprised in the case of the shipping interest except those which refer to stamps upon insurances, bills of lading, and charterparties ; but the house will see at once that these are points which affect the revenue and general taxation of the country, and therefore this is not an occasion on which I can refer to them. At present I will only make a summary of the measures which her Majesty's Government are prepared to recommend with reference to the claims of the shipping interest—measures which they recommend with the earnest wish that all real grievances may be re medied—(hear, hear)—that we shall cease to hear of the claims of a particular interest as subject to burdens and vexations from which the community are free (hear), and that from henceforth, if the measures which I have indicated are carried out in their spirit, we shall know of the shipping interest only as a portion of that great flourishing community, in which I, for one, hope that all particular interests may for the future b e merged. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") We propose, then, to to deal with the question of lights under three heads. We propose to reduce the taxation which is paid by the shipping interest under the claim of supporting the lighthouses of the country namely, the interest of debt, which has been incurred, the contribu tions to charities, and passing tolls to harbours which ships never enter. (Hear, hear.) We propose to terminate these three great sources of unjust taxation, and we believe that we shall be able to effect this object by the annual sum of 100,0001. The shipping in terest will then have to pay for the lighthouses which benefit them—which guide their ships and sa ve their lives—(hear, hear)—and I am sure they will no more h complain of a tax levied for such objects and upon such principles than any other class of the community will complain of the peculiar taxes to which they may be subject, but for which they gain in return peculiar ad vantages. (Hear, hear.) We propose, in the second place, to submit to the consideration of a committee of the House of Commons, the whole question of pilotage, in order that we may arrive at a result which I am sure will be impartial and satisfactory as well as final. We propose that the three Admiralty grievances of which the shipping interest complain— anchorage, salvage, and en listment—shall be entirely terminated, or at least subject to regulations which will remove the injustice and injury which are so justly complained of. We propose that the subject of manning shall depend upon the adjudication of Parliament on a still more important subject, and I am sure the shipping interest will not complain of that ar rangement ; and with regard to the last point—the taxes levied upon them under the head of stamps—that is one which affects the general revenue of the country, and we will consider that when we consider the general revenue of the country. (Hear.) I have now placed before the house the general views of her Majesty's Govern ment with respect to the mercantile marine of the coun try, and the claims which it has so long urged upon successive Governments. I propose that we should now consider the claims of the sugar-producing colonies — (hear, hear)—and I hope the house will approach h consideration of this subject with the same temperand impartiality with which they have treated the preceding one. We must regret that sugar has been the battlefield of parties. (Hear.) We must form an opinion up the condition of those colonies from the stern which may be placed before us, and no d t with any naked feaccotls lection of the past. (Hear.) W e may deplore the legis f opinion, gentlemen on lation that is past • we may towards the the both sides, that the conduct of be h e t o e h n i s country sugar-producing colonies has been inconsistenttow damage and devasta coherent—that great unnecessarythat, as an interest, they tion have been occasioned —that, have been treated in a wanton I n o te i f g e h n t sib i l s e m w a h nn at er in ; but what we have to justly the present sta te of affairs we can do for them. (Hear , - hear.) An hon. gentleman told us the other night that especially on subjects of economy he was not fond of sentiment — (a laugh) — and upon no subject, I believe (laughter) ; but a bud ge t, I b e li eve, h o wever various its topics, and however peculiar the circumstances in which it is. brought forward, is not an occasion on which gentlemen should be sentimental. (Cheers.) I have placed before me what I believe can hardly be called a memorial, buti t is an official paper placed before me by the West India body, and I can assure them that it is impossible that there can be any individual in this house who would view their just complaints with more ready sympathy than myself. (Hear, hear.) I have expressed on other occasions, here and elsewhere, my sincere belief that the conduct of Parliament to the West India body generally has been such as will afford no emblazoned page in the history of this country.

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication in Eliza's Cook's Journal of Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of" Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Anneal," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found wit"out the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited g spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in the living and due to the dead. At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL. LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few 'egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these Cases. _ _ .

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread • Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual llypochondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi :al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his Tower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. "We promised in a former number that we should recur to this work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852. No. 11.

Such are cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

(Hear, hear). I will, in pursuance of the plan I have sketched, pro ceed to consider the claims that have been urged on Parliament by the shipping interest in respect to the burdens which it endures and the grievances which it ex- periences—burdens borne under the previous system without any overwhelming sense of their weight and grievances—not of a nature, in fact, to require our in terposition so long as they were mitigated by privileges, which we have terminated. (Hear, hear). I have lis . tened with great attention to all the representations made to me with respect to the shipping interest ; and I say now with respect to the shipping interest what I would say with regard to any interest that believes it is subject to regulations and laws entailing on it burdens which other classes of the community gene- rally do not endure—that it will be wise for - Parlia ment to approach the discussion of these matters in a generous spirit. (Hear, hear.) Ido do not want, and am not myself desirous, in any way, that we should at tempt, by any proposition we bring forward, to conciliate sympathies to which we ought not to defer, and least of all I am anxious that the House of Commons, so far as I can direct its opinion, should, for the sake of Ailencing a claim which they may not consider just, enter into any arrangement which ultimately they Might think was not a sound and proper one ; but of this I am certain, that nothing is more prejudicial to the country generally than that considerable classes of her Majesty's subjects should consider that they are liable to regulations injuriously affecting their industry, and from which the rest of the community is free, and that they suffer from the injurious effects of those regulations in consequence of changes in the law, which have universally contributed to the advan tage of the remainder of the community. (Hear.) I can conceive no state of society more to be deprecated than one in which there are minorities, but powerful minorities, who believe that they are subjected to in justice, in consequence of changes in the law con tributing to otherwise universal welfare. Therefore, if there be on the part of the shipping body, or on the part of any other class in this country, well-founded claims to the consideration of Parlia- went, it is highly expedient, not only in the interest of public morality, but from the most utilitarian considerations that could possibly occur, to the most unsentimental minds, that we should enter into these questions, ascertain their merits, and decide ac cordingly. Now, with respect to the shipping interest, I may say this on behalf of the Government, that, hav ing investigated with great pains, and listened with ?reat patience to their case, the Government are of opinion that the shipping interest, principally through the con sequences of recent legislation—the repeal of the naviga tion laws—are at this moment subject to burdens to which they ought not to be liable, and to restrictions which (to use the words of the noble lord the member for the city of London) impede their prosperity. (Hear, hear.) If this be so, and if it be the opinion of the House of Ccmmons that it is so, I think it much better that we should meet that case, difficult as it may be, in a just and liberal spirit, and see if we cannot remedy the complaints of so influential, so important, and so worthy a body as the shipping interest and the classes connected with them. (Hear, hear.) Now, we have examined shipowners and persons in the classes connected with them (all those, indeed, comprehended by the not very accurate, but still popular title, of the " shipping interest,' which title I use because it is one to which the house is accustomed)—we have examined all those persons, and they complain that they are subject to vexatious taxation under the head of light dues and passing tolls. They complain of the present system by which the pilotage of the country is regulated. They also greatly complain of what they describe as Admiralty grievances, of the circumstances under which an individual belonging to the mercantile marine is enlisted into the Royal navy ; of the system under which salvage is established ; and of. the regula tions under which . anchorage takes place. They have great complaints as to the restrictions on the manning of their vessels, as to the stamp duties levied on marine insurances, bills of lading, and eharterparties. (Hear, hear.) I intend to touch on these subjects, and to ex plain what would be, in the opinion of the Govern ment, the manner in which we think these claims ought to be met ; and, as the recommendations we are about to make are founded, I think, on a very impartial and liberal condition of the whole case, we believe that, if those recommendations are adopted by Parliament, we may fairly say that the just claims of ~the -shipping in terest will be satisfied, and - that in our future Legislation, so far as that interest is concerned, we shall not be dis turbed by appeals of a class nature. With respect to the light dues, we have examined the subject, and it is our opinion that in a great degree the complaints of the shipping interest are founded in fact. It certainly seems quite indefensible that, irrespective of the dues which they pay for the advantage of lighthouses, which are amply and properly supplied in this country, they should be paying in the form of dues a large sum of money, which is, in fact, the interest paid to the Trinity-house for the purchase of private lights, which were improvidently granted by the Crown or by the Parliament many years ago, (Hear, hear.) As far as that portion of the light dues which consists of the interest paid on sums ad vanced by the Trinity-house for the purchase of these private lights, it seems to us indefensible, when the principle of unrestricted competition is established, that the shipping interest of this country should be pay ing a tax not for the lights supplied for ,their benefit (because for them they pay sufficiently), but in order that improvident grants of former Sovereigns and Par liaments should be counteracted by a peculiar tax raised from them, and in respect to which they get no return whatever. (Hear.) We think also that all that which is levied from the shipping interest under the name of paSsing tolls is a vexation, a grievance, and a burden, to which the shipping of this country, under present circumstances, ought not to be subjected. (Hear.) We think it, too, highly inexpedient that, under the name of light dues, the shipping of the country should be taxed to maintain the charities of a corporation ; and, taking these three conclusions to guide us, we shall be prepared to deal with the light dues as at present existing. We would confine the tax on shipping merely to a payment for the benefit which the shipping receives from the lighthouses ; we would relieve the ship ping interest from what is paid for the interest upon those loans incurred to purchase private lights ; from the con tribution to the charities of a corporation which i however laudable they may be, ought not to be maintained, under present circumstances, by taxing a British ship ; and, further, we would relieve the shipping interest from all passing tolls. (Hear, hear.) I estimate that this set tlement of a long agitated question will probably cost the country about 100,000/. a year ; but it appears to me that the claims are just ; that it is impossible to resist them, and that they ought to have been considered when the repeal of the navigation laws occurred. (Hear.) The next question to which I would refer is the question of pilotage. The system by which that is regulated in this country is extremely anomalous. It is quite unnecessary on the present occasion for me to enter into the origin of these anomalies. The subjects of which I have to treat to-night are so various, and some of them so complicated, that perhaps the house will allow me to say, once for all, that I shall not attempt to enter into any argument on any of them, excepting so far as it may be necessary to do So in order to make my meaning clear. I confine miself to-night to the exposition of the policy of the Government. There will be occasions when in detail we may enter into argument on all these various ques tions, but at present I consider it my principal, and al most only duty, clearly to explain to the house the policy recommended by the Government on all these different subjects. I will not, I repeat, enter into the question of the anomalies of our system of pilotage. The house, I am sure, knows well that a Thames pilot can steer a ship to a Cinque port, but may not steer it back. Another pilot connected with another corporation performs the duty of returning ; and, of course, th e shipping interest having to employ two men to perform a duty which one man could discharge, the expense is proportio natel y in creased. There has been a committee of the house upon pilotage, but it is a great many years ago: its investi gation, however, is very worthy of attention. But I think, although myself always disinclined to avoid re sponsibility by proposing committees, that there are oc casions on which a committee of the House of Commons, can effect very great good ; and I think it would be very advantageous that upon the whole question of pilotage and ballasting the feelings of a modern House of Commons should be consulted, animated by those views with respect to commercial affairs especially which pro bably had not so great an influence some years ago—that a committee of the House of Commons should investi gate this subject, and report to the house. It is the in tention of the Government to recommend to the house that there should be a committee appointed to inquire into the whole subject of pilotage and ballasting, and I have myself no doubt that the report of that committee will be satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) I come now to tho se grievances which I have described as " Admiralty." The house is aware that :when a merchant ship finds herself on a foreign station, one of the crew, without any ceremony, quits the captain without any notice, and often without any cause, and immediately enlists in a ship belonging to the Royal navy that happens to be upon that station. This right and privilege acts very injuriously upon the discipline and general conduct of the merchant shipping. (Hear, hear.) I am myself most anxious not to diminish the just privileges of the Royal navy—that force upon which this country mainly depnds; I certainly would not propose any change which would in any way affect the necessary powers of the Royalnavy. But with respect to this first grievance,which I believe, from the representations that are made to us, is one of an extremely vexatious character, we pur pose—while we are prepared to maintain all the necessary privileges in this respect of the royal navy—that no man quitting the mercanaile marine under such circumstances • shall receive his wages, which then are due to him, until the rest of the crew are paid off. At present he can, at a moment's notice, notwithstanding his engagement with his master, hoist his red shirt, enlist in the royal ship ON THE ORDINARY SYSTEM.

See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd:ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101. 7s. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 500/. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. I3s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments. fbr any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive mire than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fluid to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bsnk because it allows a fair rate of interest In case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

" HERRMANN PIICKLER." BELGIUM,,, The Senate has unanimousl37; l lAvithout dis cussion, adopted the project of law on the conver sion of the Five per Cents. The Belgian Moniteur publishes the articles of the law. The following extracts are of importance to the fundholders Proprietors of the Five per Cent. Bonds can ob tain their conversion at par into Four-and-a-Half per Cents. The present interest of 5 per cent. will be maintained until the Ist of May, 1853, and will be enjoyed up to that time by those who shall not have demanded the reimbursement of their scrip. _ _ All proprietors who do not demand the reim bursement within 15 days, commencing from a day to be fixed by Royal decree, will be considered as having accepted the conversion. The Government is authorised to effect the con versions at London and Paris. The exercise of the right of reimbursement of the New Four-and-a-half per Cents. is suspended for eight years, dating from the Ist of May, 1853. The decree of King Leopold, dated the Ist of December, then follows. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of Saturday.) MINES.—The business done this week is satisfactory, although not to a very large extent, which may be ac counted for by the furor there has been for all the gold mining speculations. The British Mining , Market has felt this, which accounts for our having no impor tant dealings to announce. Tincroft has advanced to 121., buyers ; Wheal Golden has been done at 41. 10s. to 41. 12s. 6d. ; Balnoon, at 8/. ; Great Wheal Alfred, at 421. 10s. ; Round Hill at 21. ss. ; and West Phoenix at 201. Alfred Consols, Bedford United, Devon Great Consols, Great Polgooth, Par Consols, South Tamar, West Providence, Trelawny, and Tremayne maintain their prices. Boscean, Bosorn, Cwm Darren, Hawke's Point, Prince Albert, Rocks and Treverbyn, and South of Scotland, are at lower rates ; and, while the dealings have ranged over a number of the smaller mines, the transactions have no: been to any considerable amount. In Cornwall, Wheal Buller have been sold at 8081. ; Basset, 525/. ; Gramblyn and St. Aubyn, 24/. ; South Tolgus, 1921/. ; Wheat Reeth, 50/. ; Wheal Friendly, 101. In the Metal Market,—There are no sellers of English Tin, except at an advanced rate.—Plates are in extra ordinary demand, and must rule higher. Copper is firm and in great request, and the smelters shy of executing orders to any extent.—Lead -is 201. per ton, and few sellers at the price.—Spelter is 191. 10s., and a fair business doing.—lron continues advancing ; Rails full ss. higher ; Scotch Pig up to 3/. ss. and 31. 7s. 6d. The Anglesea Coal Company declared a dividend of 2s. per share=2oo/. ; and the Rhymney Iron 6s. on the old. The sale of copper ore at Thursday's Ticketing was 4,432 tons, amounting to 24,3051. 13s. 6d., the average produce and standard being 6,1561. ss. The corres ponding sale last month was 3,063 tons, produce 6g, 1331. 65., showing an advance of about Moiler ton. Newtonards, Trelawny, East Tamar, South Tamar, and Boringdoon Consols, have sold lead ores during the week. Birch Tor, Lewis, South Speed, Boscean, Polberon, Wheal Friendship, and Charlestown, have sold black tin. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTERDAY.) ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, it was agreed that the house at its rising should adjourn until Monday. . THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The house having resolved into Committee of Supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said :—Though the house has been pleased to honour the remarks which I have to make to-night with the title of " Financial Statement," and though I am indisposed, under any circumstances, to quarrel with the humour of the house, still I trust that hon. members will have the kindness to recollect that it is a financial statement made under very peculiar circumstances ; and that we have, with respect to our finances, to consider to-night some very important t o pics - -whether, for example, it is possible to make such changes in the mode of levying our revenue as may contribute more to the satisfaction and welfare of the community ; whether such alterations can be effected in our system of taxation as may remove from various classes not an ill-founded sense of injury and injustice ; above all, whether we may not take this opportunity of establishing our financial system on principles more adapted to the re quirements of the time, and especially to the industry of a country pre-eminent for its capacity for labour. Besides these, there are other topics to which I must advert, and which are not strictly of a financial nature. I hope the house will also remember that even considering the remarks I have to offer merely in a financial point of view, the present period is but the completion of about two-third s of the financial year—a circumstance which naturally adds to the difficulty I have to contend with. I hope, therefore, that under these circumstances hon. members. will not think it is any evidence of conceit or affectation on my part if I do not on this occasion rigidly follow that routine form of exposition which a Chancellor of the Exchequer properly adopts at the termination or commencement of a finan cial year, when his duties are comparatively limited, and, I may say, comparatively simple—(hear)—but, if I deviate from that course, I trust that they will attribute my proceeding to no other motive but a desire on my part, in dealing with these various important, and, in some cases, complicated subjects, to explain clearly to the house the views of her Majesty's Governments and, so far as I have to touch upon the point, their opinion on the condition of the country. (Hear.) The task I have undertaken is, as the house is well aware, not a light one under any circumstances, and even under ordi nary circumstances requires an appeal to the indulgence of the house. lam sure to-night I shall receive its gene rous indulgence, and the onlyfavour I presume to ask of hon. gentlemen on either side is, that they will not pre cipitately decide on any proposition which I may make, but consider all that I offer as a whole, because as a whole it ought to be considered. (Hear.) I trust, in justice to myself, that they will not, until the views of the Government are fairly placed before them, be carried away by any feeling of the moment, on whichever side they may sit, too precipitately to decide on the motives and principles of the policy which I may now have to set before them. I wish, after understanding, as I did, from the result of the last general election, that the principle of unrestricted competition was entirely and finally adopted as a principle of our commercial code— I wish to consider our financial system in relation to our commercial system—to see whether they cannot be brought more in harmony tog ethe r , and whether in bringing them more in harmony together, we may not remove many well-founded causes of discontent among the people of this country, and lay the foundation of a system which in future should not only be more bene ficial, but which should enlist in its favour the sympathies of all classes. (Hear, hear.) However, before I take that general view to which I ha ve just ad verted, I think it would be convenient that I should consider the claims of those who believe that by what we now familiarly describe as "recent legislation" they have received peculiar injury. It will, I think, be for the convenience of the house that we should dispassionately consider the position of those classes, and come to an opinion whether their complaints and claims are just or not, because, if we can arrive at some conclusions on these points, those classes who now assert that they have been injured by recent legialation, if their claims are impartially heard, and, if established, fairly met, will then merge in the mass of the com munity, and we shall hereafter have to consider no other claims but those which represent the unanimous voice and feeling of the entire country. (Hear, hear.) There fore, I repeat, it will not be an inconvenient course, if I take the earliest opportunity of examining the claims urged by those great interests which have been pecu liarly affected by recent changes in the law—the ship ping interest, the sugar-producing interest, and the agricultural interest—so far as the latter, irrespective of all other pleas, urges on the consideration of the house the fact that it is subject to peculiar burdens and taxa tion, When we have discussed these three important ItTY Th I-4E WATER AND SEWAGE COM x, for the Supply of Water to the Metropolis South Nrs, at constant and hi g h service.
