ourtb Milton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAV ) ISANDILANDS it. LECATT. This was a rule obtained by Sir Fitzroy Kelly to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue against Horatio Bethune Legatt, directing him to bring up the body of Anna Maria Sandilands, the wife of John Siadilands. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now showed cause against the rule. As he was extremely anxious to avoid enter ing into the very painful circumstances detailed in the affidavits, he submitted to the Court at the outset a preliminary objection, which he said he was satisfied would convince them that no writ could be issued in this woe against his client. The affidavits showed that so far from Mrs. Sandilands being detained by her son against her own consent, she wished to remain under his roof, and objected to return to her husband, whom she had left in consequence of circumstances that took place in his house, which rendered it impossible for her to continue to live with him. These facts, he contended, jus tified the Court in at once discharging the rule, a habeas corpus being of no avail to the husband to obtain the return of his wife, as it was entirely with her own in clination that she remained apart from him. Sir F. TCer.vr supported the rule, and argued that the court could grant a hab eas f or t h e purpose of ascertain ing the truth of the statement as to the lady residing of r own free will with her son. Lord CAMPBELL thoughtthe rule for a habeas corpus ought not to have b een grante d , as t h e C our t had no Jurisdiction in such a case. All the Court could do was to restore to lihorty any of the Queen's subjects who 'vere improperly confined or imprisoned; but it appeared that this lady wa s no t un d er an y restraint, but was living in her- son's house with her own free consent, and whether the husband had a right under these circumstances to recover possession of her and compel her to live with him, was a matt er which the Court h a d n o power to determine.-If the writ went, and the lady was produced,. the Court could not make an order compelling her to live with her husband. The constitution had wisely pointed out the tribunal where such a matter could be heard and decided; and if she had nc good cause for being absent fr om h er hus band, and the Court offered no opinion on that point, a deeree of the ecclesiastical court could compel her to return to him, but a habeas corp us would be wholly nugatory in such a case. The rule would therefore be discharged.—lhscharged accordingly. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

Northumberland. METROPOLITAN BURIAL BILL. On the motion that the 12 o'clock orders of the day be postponed, until after the 12 o'clock notices of motion had been disposed of. Lord E BRINGTON inquired wh en i t was proposed to take the second reading of the Bill, He hoped it would not be at a late hour of the evening? Mr. WALPOLE said it would not b e b roug ht on a f ter a quarter past 11 o'clock.—(H ear , hear.) Mr. F. DUNCOMBE wished t o k now w h et h er i t was 1)41: at six o'clock? fir.po s e lied in the negative. The Go vernment would go on with the Law Bills. The motion was then agreed to. ESTIM. Mr. BERESFORD MILITIA moved the ATES Select Committee to prepare Militia Estimates t—Mr. Secretary at War, Viscount Palmerston, the Judge Advocate, Mr. Sid ney Herbert, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir William Jolliffe, Mr. Cornewall Lewis, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, Colonel Lindsay, Colonel Dunne, Sir John Tyrell, and all Colonels of Militia. Power to send for persons, papers, and records; three to be the quorum. To sit and proceed fortwith. Mr. HUME said this was an unnecessary proceeding, and he hoped now that we were to have the militia that it would be done away with. The Committee was a perfect farce, for all it would have to do would be to agree to the estimates that might be put into their hands by the Secretary-at-War. Mr. WALPOLE remarked that sending the estimate to a Select Committee would not preclude the House from exercising an authority over it in supply. The motion was then agreed to. PUBLIC TAXES. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. WILLIAMS rose to move—" That it appears, by returns ordered by this House, that an enormous amount of the public taxes is annually intercepted on its way from the people's pockets to the Treasury, espe cially by the departments by which the taxes are col lected, and is expended for the payment of the revenue officers and other expenses, but without the supervision or control of this House; and in violation of the consti tutional principle, that no taxes shall be imposed on the people, or the product thereof expended, without the authority of their representatives in Parliament. That for the security of the public monies, and accurate keeping of the public accounts, it is indispensable that the whole of the public income shonld, without any de duction whatever, be paid into her Majesty's Exche quer, and that no portion of it should be issued there from, on any plea or pretence, without the sanction of Parliament, as it was recommended by the Commission, which consisted of Members of the House, app o i n t e d by the Crown in the year 1831. Mr. HAMILTON hoped the Hon. Member would not persevere with his motion now. He could renew it on bringing up the report.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS acceded to the proposal, but Mr. HUME said this question ought not to be left in the hands of an independent Member. The House had already decided that the public accounts should be made out in one form, and that no money should be stopped in its progress to the Exchequer. It was an anomaly which did not exist in any other country, that seven millions of money received as revalue was omitted from the re turns and taken out of the control of Parliament. After a few words from Air. WALPOLE, the sabjeci dropped. MAYNOOTIL In reply to Ur. MONSELL, Mr. WALPOLE said ho apprehended that the reason why ther e was no vo t e on th e es ti ma t es f or k eep i ng t h e College o f M ay nooth in repair was, that the late Government, who had prepared the estimates, did not consider such a vote necessary. The vote last year was only carried by a majority of two or one, and there was not much prospect of the Government getting the Home to grant any sum for repairs in the present state of pub lic business, even if they wished to do so. Mr. ANSTEY thought the Government had acted with a very wise discretion in not bringing forward the vote. THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. SLANEY, on the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, on going into Committee of Supply, moved as an amendment, " That it was expedient that a Department, Standing Committee, or unpaid Commission, should be appointed, to consider, suggest, and report from time to time, preventive and remedial measures, to benefit the social condition of the working classes, and for re moving social and other obstacles to their improvement." He said this subject had nothing to do with party po litics, bat was deeply interesting to the vast body of the people whose condition was to be embraced by the pro posed inquiry. The :labouring population was divided into two classes—those connected with husbandry, and those living in large towns and in the manufacturing districts. The great mass of them had been depressed, degraded, and neglected for many years, and in a great measure from the want of proper attention to their con dition by the Government and the Legislature. lie thought that if some department or commission had been in existence to watch the condition of the working classes, and to suggest measures to remedy the evils that surrounded them, there would now have been a vast im provement among them, both in a physical and moral aspect. The Honourable Member referred to the reports of Commissioners and Select Committees to show the deplorable state of these two great divisions of the people, and said he attributed the neglect he had mentioned to great social c h anges w hi c h h a d t a k e n place witho u t any correspondi ng alterations of the law, so as to give them fair pl ay i n the i r a l tere d p os ition. So fr equent were political changes, that before a Government had time to direct its attention to subjects of this nature it went out of office; and nothing effectual would be done for the benefit of the people, unless some such perma nent body as he suggested was appointed. The exist ing state of things produced nothing but discontent, suf fering, and disease:in the country, and he asked for a commission on the ground of economy, justice, and right. While the comforts of the rich and middle classes had been vastly augmented, crime had increased three times faster than the population, and crime now cost the country upwards of eleven millions annually. Hitherto the wealthy had adopted the laissez faire sys tem in regard to these great grievances; but there ought to be no longer delay in devising means of amelioration. What he wanted for the working classes was instruction to their children, protection to their health, and fair play and: enco uragement in regard to the employment of their labour. Lord R. GROSVENOR seconded the motion. deserved to b Mr. WALPOLE sa i d he was sure that the sincere benevo ulencoeb. Gentleman alwayswhichhad ry d se distinguished e the career of the rewarded; and if he thought the means proposed by the Hoc. Gentleman would be likely to contribute towards the improvement of the social condition of the working classes, he should certainly wish, on the part of the Government, at once to give his assent to this motion. With regard to the motion before the House, ho doubt. d whether it would really tend to the benefit of those for whose benefit it was intended. He doubted whether more information would be gained by such a standing commission than was now obtained by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament. A commission would consist of one or two persons, who would imbibe peculiar ideas and plans on these subjects, on which their reports would be founded, while a Parliamentary Committee would consist of persons who took varied and different views, and in whose hands these questions would be more likely to be considered in a'l their bearings. Moreover, he did not think it judi cious to lead the p e opl e to depend rather on the Go vernment and Parliament,than on their own exertions. On these grounds, therefore, he must give a reluctant negative to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman, and he hoped he would not press it to a division. Mr. SCOBELL supported the appointment of a com mission, which he thought would do no harm, if it did no good. iilr. CARTER thought the appointment of this com mission would prevent the appointment of Select Com mittees for special purposes connected with this question. After a few words. from Mr. PACRE and Mr. P. HOWARD the motion was withdrawn, and the House went into Committee of Supply THE EXPENSES OF THE EMBASSY AT CON STANTINOPLE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acid 1 that r t the t evzotee which stood to be taken first was the vote for basil f a n c ses of repairing the chapel of the British Em .onstantinople.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from Swansea against the Militia Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE put a question to the Noble Earl at the head of the Government, whether any minute of the Committee of Education had been made, which would have the effect of making any alteration in the administration of the public grant for education. The Earl of DERBY said that a minute had been agreed to in substance, though not in terms, which would make some alter a ti on and effect some relaxation in the stringency of the conditions which at present ac companied the distribution of the education grant. It was not proposed to make any alteration with respect to the management clauses, but the option of inserting cer tain words would be given to parties, by which they would no longer be disqualified as heretofore from receiving a portion of those grants. The precise terms were not yet settled, but as soon as they had been, there woald be no delay in laying it before both Houses of Parliament. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had heard from the highesl. authority that this alteration was en important one. Now it was but a few days ago since the other House of Parliament had been called upon to grant the usual vote for the purpose of education, and it had been hitherto the invariable custom to lay aro , alterations which might be intended to be made in the management and mode of distribution of these grants before Parliament, previous to the vote being proposed. He Must express his surprise on this occasion, that these alterations had not been laid before Parliament at the time when it was called upon to provide for this branch of the public seraice—a branch which there was no doubt the other House had provided for under the idea that no alteration would be made in the mode of dis pensing it. The Earl of DERBY said that he hoped the Noble Marquis did not mean to charge her Majesty's Govern ment with having been actuated in the course they had pursued by any desire of deluding Parliament. Frequent representations and complaints had been made both to her Majesty's present Government and to the late Government, upon the part of the Church of Eng lund, that with regard to the stringency of the regula tions of the management clauses they were not placed upon a footing of equality with other denominations to whose aid was granted. He (Lord Derby) never had concealed his opinion, that in that particular the Church of England had occasion to complain, and at the very earliest moment he had brought the subject under the discussion of tho Committee of Privy Council with a view to see whether they could not while preserving the equa lit; of the different denominations.introduce such altera tions as might remove well-founded objections and remove the inequalities complained of. The management clauses had not in the slightest degree been altered, or inter feren with the liberty given to other denominations, but it had - been thought that the Church of England was making no unreasonable or extravagant demand if it requested to have the same liberty granted to it as was granted to other denominations. The effect of the de cisions and alterations which had been made would be 3 2?_aterially to increase the amount to which members of t ae Church of England could profit by that aid which ' 4 4 1 1 1 10w afforded to all denominations.—(Hear.) the de Marquis of LANSDOWNE repeated that it was thes e e Y °f the Government to have laid the nature of for the terations before the other House before asking be'en the% te of the education estimate.

After a few observations the Hon. Gentleman moved to reduce the vote 'by these items. Sir J. PAKINGTON said it appeared to him that the I introduction of the word " bishop" into a vote was suffi cient to induce the Hon. Gentleman to oppose the vote. The question, however, which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had just been discussing was not new, it had been frequently debated, and the result of all the discus sion was the approval of the vote on the part of the Legislature. Mr. HUME thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had introduced this discussion had done nothing but his duty. It might be unjust to call upon the bishop to pay these expenses out of his own pocket, but it was still more unjust to require the country to pay them. The fact was, the time had come when they ought to have some settled principles upon which all these ec clesiastical charges should be made upon the public ex chequer, and he for one should be always ready to oppose these votes for ecclesiastical purposes in the colonies. The Church possessed a property of more than 600,0001. in value, and yet last night they were called upon to vote 38,0001. for its assistance. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman deserved great credit for introducing this sub ject, and he should certainly vote with him if he pro posed any reduction of the estimate. Mr. ANSTEY said he should move that the estimate be reduced by 300/. Colonel SIBTHORP was quite as willing to recom mend economy cs the Hon. Member for Youghal, or the Hon. Member for Montrose, but it appeared to him that the opposition of the Hon. and Learned Member for Youghal was not so much directed against the vote as the Established Church, and as he for one could not allow the establishment to be attacked in this manner he should certainly resist the amendment. He was nevertheless an advocate of legitimate economy, and as he could be no party to the Great Exhibition robbery, he should move to omit the sum of 1,5051. 7a. 6d. for salaries of secretaries, clerks, and messengers for the Commission for the promotion of the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved a further reduction of the vote by 1,5701. Sr JOHN :PAKINGTON said this complication of amendments would lead to great confusion, and he would suggest that they should be taken separately. Sir GEORGE PECHELL hoped this was the last time they should hear of such an estimate as this, and hoped if it was required next year it would be paid out of the Secret Service Money. Lord DUDLEY STUART objected to saddling the country with the expenses of this estimate. After a few words from Mr. Hamilton, Mr. W. Wil liams, and Mr. Hayworth, Mr. ANSTEY said, to save one division, he would add his reduction of 3001. to that of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, who concurred in the fusion of the two amendments. The CHAIRMAN said the larger reduction, which was that of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, would have to be put first. The Committee then divided, when there appeared- For the amendment of Mr. Williams 40 Against it ... 9 7 Majority against it ... The amendment was accordingly lost. The CHAIRMAN was then directed to report progress, and the House having resumed, he did so accordingly. The remaining twelve o'clock orders were next posed of, and Four o'clock having arrived, the House rose. -57 The House resumed at Six o'clock. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, it was agreed that the House at its rising, should adjourn unti Monday next. PETITIONS.

After undergoing much fatigue during his canvass at Sheffield, and being much reduced by a severe regimen, he had a slight paralytic attack, which for a time impeded arti culation. This soon disappeared, and under medical treat ment the learned gentleman is rapidly gaining strength, although he will probably not again appear in the present Parliament.— Times. The Ipswich Express says that the emigration from that town to Australia is very large, and that numbers of inhabitants are selling off their effects, preparatory t o l eav i ng the country for the " diggings." COASTERS AND COLLIERS.--It appears, from a re turn to Parliament just issued, that last year there were 19,748 sailing-vessels, of 2,778,525 tone, and 662 steamers, of 206,666 tons, that entered the port of London as coasters and colliers. A PARAGRAPH ONLT TO DE READ By THE LA DIRS.—Every man has his price, so said Walpole; but he never said as much of woman. The fact is, Walpole judged the ladies only too correctly, for he knew as well as we do that many of those dear creatures are beyond all price. —Punch. present moment, and, taken in connexion with a re mat Oeble doeuewnt which had been rec. etly i;nl,li hod by a member of tier Majesty's Gruver nee ees of espreial ieserest. The deem:neat to a eich lie tthud''d one of very greet importance; but emanating, at did, fro m th e Miniat' r aho W 53 specially charged with the atiminietration of the finances (it' the e entry, the interest and value anaehieg to it could rest be too highly appreciated. The document to which he referred had appeared in the usual channel or intermetion; it had attached to it the name of the Chancellor cf the Exche quer, and it stated that " in preparing the financial state ment for the year, it was officially represented to me that I must contemplate, in estimating the produce of the income-tax, a diminution of rent not much less in amount than 6,000,000/. steeling." But then ho went on to state, and this was a remarkable passage to which he (Earl Fitz ivilliam) was desirous of drawing their Lord ships' attention, that "practically speaking, in this coun try rent has become a return for the capital invested in the improvement of land; that laws to secure a return for such investment aro not for a moment to be tolerated " a most important admission—a most remarkable expression from so high a quarter—" not for a moment to be tolerated" --their Lordehipe would observe that it was not a question of present policy, but whether such laws ought to be " tol erate d ;" that "laws to secure a return for such investment are not for a mo ment to be tolerated, hut laws which, by imposing un equal taxes, discourage that investment, are, irrespective of their injustice, highly impolitic; for nothi ng contri butes more to the enduring prosperity of a country than the natural deposit of its surplus capital in the improve ment of its soil. Justice to the land, in all systems of finance, is equally the interest of the proprietor and the farmer, hut it is also equally the interest of the commu nity." There could be no doubt that justice to every class of society was the interest of the community, (Hear, hear.) But, pessieg on, he came to the follow ing paragraph, which was one of very remarkable im port, and which he desired particularly to impress on their Lordships' minds:—" Every principle of abstract justice, and every consideration of high policy, counsel that the producer should be treated as feisty as the con sumer, and intimate thet when the native producer is thrown into unrestricted competition with external rivals it is the duty of the Legislaturcein every way to diminish, certainly not to increase, the cost of production. It is the intention of her Majesty's Ministers"—let their Lordships observe that—" it is the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to recommend to Parliament, as soon as it is in their power, measures which may effect this end." He (Earl Fitzwilliam) trusted that it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers also to carefully consider the means by which they proposed to accom plish that end.—(Cheers.) They were then told what were the means for accomplishing it. " One of the soundest means, among others, by which this result may be accomplished, is a revision of our taxatiou." Now here they bad the general proposition laid down that they were to have a total revision of taxation, and it might be wise and desirable to do that, and the results of such a revision might perhaps be perfect justice to all. But he would take leave to say that any great and extensive changes by which burdens which had hitherto been imposed upon one class of the community were transferred to another class of the community ought not to be lightly undertaken, or undertaken without a full and careful consideration of all the consequences that might ensue from adopting such a step. The document then went on to say—" The times are favourable to such an undertaking; jester notions of taxation aro more prevalent than heretofore; powerful agencies are stirring, which have introduced new phenomena into finance, and altered the complexion of the fiscal world, and the possibility of greatly relieving the burdens of the community, both by adjustment and reduction, seems to loom in the future.' Undoubtedly, if any means could be adopted by which a reduction of taxation could be effected it would be exceedingly de sirable. But he (:he Earl Fitz oilliacn) was not one of those who were very sanguine with regard to the pos sible results of any such measure, and he would now warn his friends at Wellingborough, who had done him the honour of intrustieg him with their petition, not to be too sanguine in their expectation of any benefit they might desire from a general revision of taxation.— (II: ar.) The Noble Earl then laid the petition on the table. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the second re port from the Select Committee on the Parliament Odice and office of Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was considered and agreed to. WEST INDIAN DISTRESS. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature, the Vice- Chancellor, the Master in Ordinary to the Court of Chancery, the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and other leaders of the legal profession in the island of Jamaica, representing the distress under which that island, in common with the other West India islands, was now labouring under. The petitioners spoke of the dimi nished value of property, and the consequent impove rished state of the proprietors. They state that although the actual amount of crime had not increased, yet that offences against the person, comprising fights and as saults, were greatly on the increase, as exhibited in the returns of the criminal courts. The petitioners be lieved that the state of things which they were euffer kg from was attributable to the Act of 1846, reducing the differential duties on sugar, and expressed a hope that their Lordships would adopt such steps as would al leviate their sufferings. He felt it to be his duty to read the statement of the petitioners, and while he differed from them in the economical view of the questi on , h o must agree with theta that the effect of the Act of 1846 was to increase the slave trade in the Spanish colonies and tho Brazils. Earl GREY could not agree with the Noble and Learned Lord that the Act of 1846 had the effect which the petitioners attributed to it. On the contrary, he be lieved that it very materially, in conjunction with the squadron on the African coast; diminished it. The papers which had been laid on the table showed that slavery during the last five years, as compared with the five preceding years, had very much diminished; and at that moment the parties in Cuba were so satisfied with what they saw resulting from free labour, that they were taking measures for the introduction of 8,000 Chinese labourers. The Bishop of OXFORD laboured under the inability to maintain silence when he heard the sentiments just uttered by the Noble Earl, and those also given ex pression to by the Noble and Learned Lord (Brougham). Ho could not allow the statement of the Noble Earl to pass without protesting ag ainst it, beli ev i ng , as h e did, that the statem en t containe in the petition presented by the Noble and Learned Lord, attributing their distress to the Act of 1848, was correct. He believed that the necessary aspect of that Act was to give a great stimulus to the increase of slavery, the demoralization of the people, and the promotion of the produce of slave grown sugar in the Brazils. Slaves continued to be largely imported from Africa, showing clearly one of the bad effects of the Act of 1846. The Noble Earl had told them, however, that the introduction of Chinese labour into Cuba was attributable to the Act of 1846, but he must protest against the arguments of the Noble Earl, and against the cause of justice being defeated on this great and most important question. Lord BROUGHAM presented another petition to the same effect, from the President and Associates of the College of Surgeons in Jamaica. Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition from the Board of Council, and Council of the Assembly of Antigua, complaining of distress, said the inhabitants of that island were deserving of the respectful attention of their Lordships, seeing that they had the distinguished honour of emancipating their slaves, without waiting for the operation of the "apprenticeship" clause. The pe titioners prayed that the House would take into their serious consideration what steps could bo adopted for the alleviation of the sufferings of the people of the island, and would to Heaven that he could see any chance of the Legislature of this country being able to afford them effectual relief, for he entirely concurred that they were most deserving of it. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition on the same subject, and with a similar prayer, from the colo nists of British Guiana, in which the petitioners de clared that the single Act of 1846 had not only ruined them, but encouraged the slave trade. The Earl of HARRO SV BY presented a petition from the colonists of the Mauritius, showing that the impor tation of coolies had been accomplished to a considerable extent, and at a very considerable expense, and praying for the further introduction of free labour into the colony. The Noble Earl alto presented a m emor i a l from the island of St. Kite's, %Vest Indies, complaining of the evils arising to the morals of the population from recent legislation, and praying the House t o a d )pt some remedy to eff‘ct an improved state of the law. The Earl of DERBY begged to present a memorial on the same subject from the clergy of all denomina tions in the island of Jamaica. The petitioners bore tes timony not only to the distress from which the island was suffering, but to the negro population lapsing into a state of consequent immorality, The petition was signed by 69 clergymen of the Church of England, and 83 clergymen of other denominations, including Wesleyans, Baptists, I n d epen d ents* and Roman Catho lics, all concurring that the n egro population were ra pidly lapsing into their former state of ignorance and vice, and that the evil was attributable to the Act of 1846. The petitioners hoped :hat their Lordships would apply some remedy to relieve them from the injurious operations of the Differential Duties Act. The effect of that Act, the petitioners submitted, exposed them to a most unequal competition. There was no question but sugar could be produced more easily and less ex pensively by slave than free labour, and it certainly seemed advisable that their Lordships should take the case of the petitioners into consideration, with a view of adopting some course that would place the West Indies in a better position than they were at present. He confe sse d h e enterta i ne d t h e most ser i ous appr.eoll °n sious, in consequence of the di s tr ess from which the . th co lonists were su ff er i ng , an d t h e conseque nt donra..za tion of the negro population. Earl GREY—The Noble Earl had said thatbethe de moralization of the negro population wasas to attri buted to the Act of 1846. Their Lord s hips would allow him to make a few o bservations Earl. There had been papers laid i on the table of t h e i r result theyo of of the offi r c e e s r u s Lordships' House in abundance, which showed that the Ant of 1846 had not heohnothteesctiamunsne attri buted to it. West Indies to that effect, Ho had t in the highest position s tated were in full operation before the falli ng b ack of the that all the evils no w state o o p f er c a i t vioil ni; ation included. Th e the measu f r r e om cam a e negroes countr y was so favourable in i ts production, that the negroes finding that they could, on t h e produce of two d a ys, li ve the rest of the week with out working, became idl e; and as a remedy to obviate that evil, it was con. sidered that to lower the price of sugar would have the effect of lowering wages, and cause the negro to labour more for his subsistence. The anticipations thus formed bad been realised, and it was now found that iu every one of the colonies the negroes laboured more, and that the produce of 1851 exceeded that of 1850 in every one of Cho colynieo. N ow that was th e way in which 140 all. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS LIVERPOOL, JUNE 10. STCCK EXCHANGE. --We have no improvement to notice to-day.

LOCAL TAXATION, Earl FITZ WILLIAM ma°, pursuant to notice,. to , present a petition from the Wellingborough Union (Northamptonshire), on the subject of local taxation. '419 c i t W stiQn W" one of considerable importance at the Emit:lemons of the Ant of 1846 bed been realised, asserted C:11 a ferener occasien what, he aelveLced now that the eells coiriplaieed of had eon Leen iecreased the Ac of 1816. T!le, Dtik, of NORTHUMBERLAND was u to say that sine he bed c ,me into office the Admiral in cr) 7 eLeend on th e W es t I n di a station had reported to h im that all the evils conapleized of were attributable to the Act. Of 1846. ederstood The ii shop of OXFORD was sensible of .the diffi" culty of discussing a measure like this incidentally. Th ° Nohla Earl's argument was, that the real distress in the West India colonies w ee not attr ib uta bl e to the Act of 1346; and the Noble Earl then went on to say that tin negroes, in the first instance, were overpaid, and std not care to labour more than two due in the week, 0134 that therefore a reduction was th oug ht desirable, as a means to cause them to labour more. Now, that was the argument of the Noble Earl; but i n hi s ( t h e Bishop of Oxtord's) opinion, the Noble E ar l' s argume nt was 11 '' n answer to the ears complained of. They gave their de' liberate opinion that as they saw things under their owe eyes, ;the Act of 1846, instead of producing the desired effect, had led almost to the lapse of this whole people into barbarism. There was , s un i vers al belie dint it was impossible to compete with free 'shea r ; There was also an impression amongst capitalist throughout Ewer° that they could not offer any sei lf. factory security-for the investment of cepital. There; fore they could obtain no edvacces for the improvers° of their manufacture, or their estates and machinery' Capitalists did not hesitate to make large investraectw in Cuba and Brazilian estates, which benefited in conssi quence, while Jamaica was suffering fro m the want 0 , them, He felt the difficulty of dealing with this subje ct ' It seemed tai him that what they were doing with on e hand, they were undoing with the other. While they were preventing the slave trade in Africa, and the intl .() ; duction of slaves into our colonies on the one hand, they were on the other stimulating the production of Bie r grown sueeir in the Brazils and Cuba. Earl GREY denied that there was any want of ca l ployment in Jamaica from a decrease in the ma nufactur e of sugar. The quantity of sugar produced in the coley had increased, an d was i ncreas i ng. But wages. h e a milted, had f a ll en some 15 or 20 per cent. His °g,ra' went was, that t h e i r secur i ty was so b ad that they Nu, not get capital f or i mprovements. However, not wiW standing the indi s p os i t i on o f t h e planters to adapt th,e°3,.; selves to the exi s t ing state o f th i ngs, and the depeneet'd upon the supposition of a return to protection, there De Been more impr ovemen t s i n the colony during the last five or six ye ars th an d ur i ng the preceding twenty thirty years. The Earl of HARROWBY read a paper, showinmg the increase in the pr o d uc ti on o f sugar in the Breale—d and in Cubs. During the last ten years it had increse. in the Brazils from 82,000 t ons to 235.000 tons, 6 01 in . 0 - 0 Cuba, from 63,000 to 111,000 tons. Upen the average. of years it appeared that, w ith some few excePt'a — o f there had been a gradual decrease in the productie, a e sugar in Jamaica. They had a l so expor t e d ma chie" re ; to the Havannah and C u ba, w hi c h wou ld not h av e bee done if they could have obtained a p ro fi ta bl e retu rn fr° l " .. their estates. Lord STANLEY (of Alderley), who was nearly ftl f ~. '; cudible, was understood to sa y, th at s i nce emanciest' ° d the cultivation of sneer had increased i n E u rope, that had tended to decrease the price of sugar in t og market. Ho thought more was made - of the effe a ";se the Act of 1846 than was justly deducible from operation. The conversation then dropp3d, and their lardsb i l l adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 10.
