Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. intention to give any further opposition to the measure, Their Lordships then adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. After the transaction of private business, Mr. F. MAULE, in answer to Dr. BOWRING, explained the circumstances attending the flogging and subsequent death of Frederick White, late of the 7th hussars. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to state the course which the Government proposed to pursue as regards the Sugar Duties. Had the Government been disposed to consult their own ease, they would not have wanted plausible reasons for postponing the consideration of the question of the Sugar Duties. But the public, which spent 12,000,0001. a-year in sugar, suffered much from the increased price of that article; the revenue also suffered, and it was most desirable for the interests of trade and commerce to endeavour to come to some permanent settlement of the question. The high price of sugar in this country had long been the subject of complaint, in asmuch as it rendered the consumption of sugar impos sible to the poorer classes, and at the same time, in con sequence of the diminution of supply, diminished the revenue. The price had risen, during some parts of last year, to 7s. above the price calcu lated on by the late Chancellor of the Exche quer, while the revenue from the sugar duties had been actually less, by 311,529/. than the amount estimated by the Right Hon. Gentleman; and this en tirely owing to the deficient supply consequent upon the supply not having been drawn from a sufficiently exten sive area. The Noble Lord then proceeded to state the prospect of the supply of sugar for the coming year, which he estimated at 230,000 tons. An increased sup ply was necessary, and whence were they to look for this increased supply ? The reduction of duties on free labour sugar alone would produce very little effect, as the quantity of foreign free-labour sugar to be obtained was of very little importance. Now, upon the present consumption, an increase 'bf price of 6s. only would be a tax upon the public of 1,600,000/., which would not go to the State. He would propose, therefore, the admission of other foreign sugars, to supply the deficiency ; but here they were met by the objection that the admission of foreign sugar would encourage slavery, and that such considera`ion should overbalance all financial and commercial views, and all considerations of the welfare of the people. But that ar gument failed of completeness while they admitted tobacco, cotton, and other productions of slave labour ; and therefore they did not even pretend to carry into effect the humane views which those opposed to the consumption of slave labour produce entertained, The members of the Anti-Slavery Committee, however, were consistent, for they denounced the consumption of slave• labour cotton as most immoral ; and yet if it were proposed before we would admit American cotton wool to call upon the United States to solve the tre mendous problem of slavery it would be considered as absolute insanity. The same argument ap• plied to copper ore, and various other articles, The 'policy of excluding slave-labour sugar would be therefore incomplete; but, more than that, they were obliged to admit slave states, with which they had trea ties of reciprocity, to compete with free labour states in the market. They bad besides been obliged to refuse to Spain the benefits of the commercial treaties concluded with her, and that on principles not very honourable to a great nation. He could not help thinking that the principle contended for by Spain was contained in the treaty of Utrecht. It was certainly unfortunate that in their pursuit of humanity they should be forced to evade the obligations of treaties. But there was a further defect in these attempts to exclude slave-labour sugar. The merchants sent this sugar to other markets, and thence obtained supplies which they might dispose of in the English market ; and thus obtain English manufactures for the supply of the slave employer ; and thus they foiled to prevent the slave owner from getting a market for his produce. For these reasons he held that the ground which had been hitherto taken was not tenable, and that pro ceeding upon the principle which they had adopted with regard to other commodities, they must admit the sugar of the world to the markets of the United King dom. He must admit, however, that there were reasons forbidding that immediate equalisation The West India body most justly urged the great change produced by the emancipation of their slaves, and the losses they had sustained in consequence, and the inter ference of this country to prevent their obtaining a supply of free labour, as reasons against this immediate equalization ; and these reasons were entitled to great consideration. There were likewise finan cial reasons against any sudden and ab rupt change. He should, therefore, propose a complete withdrawal of the present prohibitory Aetv on slave-labour sugar r ee l lose; at once, to rtArnee rrrG auty on all foreign Muscovado sugar to 218, per cwt., to be diminished from sth July 1847, to sth July 1848, to 20s. ; from sth July, 1849, to 18s. 6d.; from 1850, to 17s. ; from 1851, to 15s. 6d.; and that from the sth July, 1852, the duty on all sugars, foreign and colonial, should be 14s. The reduction of a clayed and refined sugar would be in similar proportion, and would be diminished likewise from year to year. The West Indians complained of the interference of the Government in preventing the immigration of Hill Coolies. Now he proposed that the Coolies should have permission to emi grate on certain conditions. He also proposed to diminish the differential duties on rum from Is. 6d. to ls. The West Indians also asked that molasses should be permitted to be used in breweries and distilleries, but there were such practical difficulties in the way of acceding to that request that he could not comply with it. He also proposed to enable the colonists to procure the provisions and timber in the cheapest market and to do away with differential duties in favour of Bri tish produce imported into the colonies. The whole system of protection was vicious ; that system had been broken in upon and nearly destroyed, and he thought that Members could hardly be enabled to reconcile their constituents to the maintenance of protection in this in stance, and to forcing the farmer, now exposed to com petition, to pay a dearer rate for his sugar than he ought to pay. According to the statement of the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer, there was every probability of a financial deficiency in the year 1847-48, and it was, therefore, extremely more desirab e l s e pee t i o all i y ncr i e f as i e t the be income of the country, done without increasing the burdens of the people. With regard to the supply, not more than from 8,000 to 10,000 tons of the foreign sugar now in bond would be admissible on account of the navigation laws. Taking the whole revenue to be derived from sugar, according to his plan, during the next year at 4,2oo,oooL—being 725,509/. more than the revenue which would arise under the present system—this would at once turn the apprehended deficiency into a surplus. If the proposed duties should pass in Committee, he should propose to make the settlement a permanent one by introducing a Bill making the duties permanent; and would propose some ether source of revenue to be made the subject of an annual vote instead of the sugar duties, so as not to depart from the great constitutional principle of making a great part of the revenue dependant upon an annual vote of the House. He believed that the time was come when it was neces sary to alter our colonial system, to relax restrictions, and to open the colonies to the spirit of commercial enterprise. If this were done, the connexien between the colonies and the mother country would be one of mutual benefit, inasmuch as both would flourish the more from the re moval of useless restrictions. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing a resolution for the temporary continuance of the present duties for one month, at the same time laying on the table the resolution which he should propose for the permanen settlement of the question, to which, if the House should agree, her Majesty's Ministers, however short might be their term of office, would not have administered the affairs of the nation in vain. Mr. GOULBURN would not go into the discussion until he had considered the plan proposed. The Bight Hon. Gentleman having put some questions as to the details of the plan, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he did not propose to alter the navigation laws at all. Lord G. BENTINCK would support the motion for a temporary renewal of the duties; but the protectionist party would not support any measure for taking from the East and West Indian interests the protection which they at present enjoyed. After a desultory debate, The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried, and ordered to be reported on Wednesday next. The House afterwards went into a Committee of Supply ; several sums were voted, and the House ad journed at Two o'clock. moment with the circumstances of the present : the hopefulness of victory with the achievement of victory, the yearning for the prize with the possession of the prize. It is in these re-elections of the Ministerial candidates that we are enabled without any appearance of affectation torevert to that glorious and peaceful revolution from the excitement conse quent upon the consummation of which we are only now recovering. And it is because we are so earnestly impressed with the conviction that this same revolution will confer an infinitely greater amount of social happiness upon the community than even its sanguine admirers have hitherto anticipated in their most flattering visions of the future, that we are the more prepared to listen again and again to congratulations upon its completion, and to eulogiums upon its principal leaders. Until the com merce of Great Britain be annihilated, and until its industrious population cease to exist, the praises of COBDEN, and PEEL, and "VILLIERS, and BRIGHT, w ill never become tedious to the popular ear, will never cease to animate the popular enthusiasm. Neverthe less, it would be insanity so far to deliver ourselves up to sentiments of self-gratulation as to conceive that the reformatory labours of legislation axe altogether completed, or to forget that we have only breasted a portion of that terrible acclivity. The ex pressions employed on Saturday by the Noble Lord the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, in appealing to the electors of Yorkshire for their suffrages, were in this particular both elevated and lucid ; they were eminently calculated to impress their hearers with an accurate perception of the political position of this empire. By a poetical symbol Lord 11loarent beautifully idealised the condition of the English Legislature, he represented the movement which had already been made towards the modification of the commercial system of this country as the attain ment of a table land upon the side of a mountain— many dangers passed, many obstacles overcome, but above us other dangers and other obstacles to be passed and vanquished in like manner. There are Alps upon Alps to be surmounted ; nevertheless, having accomplished so much already, and having, moreover, accomplished it so decisively, we are not to be discouraged by dangers, however threatening) or obstacles, however enormous. Conscious that the popular Winn cannot, by any human machination, be frustrated, when enforced by justice and impelled by a peaceful spirit of determination, we can yield ourselves up to the most sanguine anticipations without any dread of disappointment. For the purpose of confirming his assertion as to the fact that Government could not be expected to remain inactive after the recent proceedings in Parliament, Lord Moarrrn adduced a " proof positive," in the shape of the Sugar Duties—those obnoxious vestiges of monopoly which still blur the commercial code of this country, and which must be utterly erased therefrom before we can enter upon the full enjoyment of the bless ings of free trade. Heartily rejoiced are we to find that a man of such undoubted abilities, of such a wholesome liberality, and of such an un flawed judgment as Lord Viscount MORPETII, has at length beheld this specious but villanous abuse in its true colours, that he has discovered how consistently a man can proclaim himself hostile t( the " blood-red flag of the slave trade," and yet " commit himself without reserve to the general and universal principles of free trade." No human being can abhor with a more intense and unextinguishable abhorrence than ourselves the atrocious and damnable system of slavery a system alike opposed to the pleading voice of Nature, and the solemn mandates of Revelation. No human being can yearn more ardently than ourselves, for the burning of the last rag of that " blood-red flag " upon the altar of Freedom ; and it is because of the depth of our reverence for the sacred cause of universal liberty that we are (like Lord MORBETLI and a thousand others) so desirous of the cessation of the differential duties upon slave-grown and free-grown sugar. To speak plainer, it is because we are indignant that the holy cause of the emancipation of our fellow-beings is thus advanced as a mask for hypocrisy and a plea for avarice. We are indignant at this wanton degra dation of a divine watchword to serve such vile and mtrod u sordid purposes. As perhaps the most glaring instance of this miserable hypocrisy, we may direct attention to the protest signed by twenty-five acknowledged ""'"" • • was presented nv D is o ib t le he ? se "signers protest" e f p , a , srg , ; itn i eest — thfaoatr i ti ; 0 , aAnwintshs invisible religious 'veil to the Prime: Minister, previous to the single moment that the fi ct- a i: t in t c e a r onferyt h th oe e fi‘ m tlh e e nii l irm v s is sufficiently dense to screen their real under-motives ?

We would remind them, moreover, that the black slaves in the sugar plantations are more to be envied than the white slaves nearer home, who have to drudge so arduously for their livelihood, and to pay so extortionately for the profit of those whose colonial possessions happen to be devoted to the culti vation of the sugar-cane !It is not difficult to si • mu late benevolence when the pocket can be filled by pre tending the principle, or to assume generosity and ' philanthropy when the public can be plundered by the pretence ! The result of the recent trial at Winchester, the immediate and unhesitating acquittal of Lieutenant HAWKEY for the murder of Mr. SETON in the un fortunate duel which took place at Gosport last year, and the applause with which the verdict of the jury was received by a crowded court, does not occasion us the slightest degree of surprise or astonish ment. It fully bears out and confirms the observations we offered on the occasion of the acquittal of Mr. PTM, in the month of March last, for his participation in the fatal transaction. It' the present trial the accused was unable to obtain the benefit of the testimony of his wife, Mrs. HAWKEY who was not a competent witness on his behalf, owing to the policy of the law, which provides that husband or wife cannot be evidence for or against each other, except in cases of high treason, or where either is indicted for a personal in jury inflicted on the other; he therefore labouree under the serious disadvantage of being unable t( prove clearly to the jury the real cause of the un happy quarrel, and the serious nature of the injury attempted to be inflicted on him. The jury, however, again interposed themselves between the law and the accused, and pronounced an acquittal, although ne reasonable person could for a moment enter tain a doubt that his was the hand by which the death -wound was inflicted, although it was clearly exp l a i ned to them that they d d th s ea t bh h lar e yd v s a i i p ous points as ctmouul theasrt d e ai policyssme i s s s o o f r fe o lto m hqeu t l h ean e w i t r l ya n n ) a i dn n of expatiatedthe epnarbt3i-‘ the counsel for the prisoner ; that they were bound by their solemn oaths to pronounce a verdict according to the evidence, that was according to so much of what they had heard sworn before them as they believed, and the only questions for their consideration were— ' Did the prisoner at the bar deliberately, by shoot ing at Mr. SETON with a pistol loaded with gun powder and bullet, inflict upon Mr. SETON a wound ?" and " was that wound the cause of his death ?" They could not have been influenced in this acquittal by the ingenious point raised by Mr. COCKBURN, that in this case the cause of death was a state of things super vening on the treatment, and not on the original wound, that, in fact, it was the result of the operation which had been performed, and not of the wound itself. The Judge had most properly overruled the point, and reserved the benefit, if any, that might result to the accused therefrom, for an appeal to all the Judges, in the event of a conviction. We can, therefore, only ascribe it to the unwillingness of the jury to make a person who had a reasonable ground of offence, where there was nothing unfair in the conduct or management of the duel, a victim to the unwillingness of the Legis lature to grapple with the acknowledged evil, and to subject him to all the pains and penalties of a con viction for murder, the most severe sanctioned by the law.

As we have already stated, it is not the possi bility of any punishment, no matter how great it may be, but the certainly of its infliction, that is found to be efficacious for the prevention of crime. In the case of duelling the severity of the punishment sanc tioned by law, in the event of a conviction, has the practical effect of giving a total im punity to the guilty parties. In France in a similar proceeding, there is a third party before the Court, and although the pri soner may be acquitted of the crime of murder, lie may yet suffer heavily in a pecuniary point of view by the amount of damages given against him to the friends and relations of the deceased party, for the loss they have sustained by his death. In a recent case in that country, Mons. BEAUVALLON WaS con demned to pay a sum of 20,000 francs to the relatives of his opponents, although ha was absolved from the criminal consequences of his act. The adoption of such a provision, which would only be a slight extension of the principle of a measure now be fore Parliament, viz., the Death by Accident Corn pensation Bill, would be highly useful, and do much to take away from the frequency of such occurrences ; but nothing can give the practice its death-blow but an enactment declaring it to be a specific offence, and providing a severe penalty in every instance, no matter what may be the result of the hostile meeting. Should such a course be adopted, and all the parties to a duel punished on one or two occasions by fine and imprisonment, the public feelings will no longer be outraged by a repetition of an offence so grave in its nature, and by which the laws of GOD and man are equally outraged and violated. Accounts from Lausanne of the lath instant state that the authorities of the canton De Vaud have interdicted all commercial relations between the in habitants of that canton and those of the canton of Berne, a measure which is considered by many as contrary to the federal compact. Letters from Berlin of the 12th announce the re signation of M. PLOT TWELL, the Prussian Minister of Finance. A Ministerial crisis in Prussia is ex petted. Madrid papers to the 13th have been received The Gazette of the 12th publishes two decrees, one establishing an office, limier the direction of M.

A brother of the Duke of MANZ ARES (MuNoz) has been appointed Minister to the Republic of Venezuela. The Herald() has published an article against the marriage of the QUEEN with a Prince of Coburg, which it is said has attracted the attention of Mr. B ULIVEN, who has interfered to prevent such publi cations for the future. So much was Mr.BuLwER offended by the conduct of the Camarilla on the subject of the marriage question, that having received an invitation to a ball at the palace, he declined it on the plea of illness, suffering severely in one of his legs. Her MAJESTY, however, it appears, was not inclined to dispense with his company, and sent a message that one of the royal carriages would be sent to bring him to the palace. He was thus compelled to exert him self, and after arriving in the royal presence found himself so recovered as to be able to dance with her MAJESTY. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. They are principally occupied by electioneering matters. It would appear that the opposionists of Al shades have united against the Ministry, and that ultra-Republicans and Legitimatists will vote for aach others' candidates. The Polish Emigrants also appear disposed to take part in the electoral war.' The Courrier Francais of Friday states that Russia is about to dispatch a secret mission to Pekin, for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of commerce with China. M. DEMETRIUS WASSIGEN is to be the chief of ‘'- appears," ry says.

Such, we are informed, is the object of the mission of M. Wassigen, and we may safely assert that the convention about to be entered into will con tain some of those secret articles which Russian diplomacy is so expert in introducing in all the treaties it concludes." It is said that the Prince DE JOINVILLE'S squadron will visit Tripoli, Malta, and Naples before its return to Toulon, and that it is probable it may proceed to the Levant should Turkey evince, any intention of attacking Tunis. The Toulonnais states that the Prince was instructed to leave two of his squadron at Tunis. The vintage promises to be the finest since 1811. The strike among the miners at Anzin still con tinued.

OVEB LAND MAIL INDIA AND • CHINA. (From the Herald.) We have just received, by Extraordinary Express, in anti• cipation of the Overland Mail, our files of papers from India and Chins, of the dates following :—Bombay, May 30 ; Cal cutta, May 16 ; Madras, June 9; and China, May 24. The political intelligence is not of much importance. The fort of Kangra had not been surrendered when the last accounts came away, which were of the 14th of May. Sir H. liar dinge was at Simlah on the 16th of May, having returned thither from a visit to the interior. The Governor of Madras, we regret to learn, was confined by illness at Vellore. Cholera was still raging at Rajpoor among the troops of the 22d Regiment. o , mmercial matters at Bombay were in much the same state as those last received. At Calcutta the markets were without much alteration. At Vadras, sales very trifling. In China, generally speaking, trade was very dull. The Emperor of China had issued a proclamation an nouncing that Chusan was to be immediately evacuated. Mr. Elmslie, who has so long faithfully exercised the office of Secretary to the Superintendent of Trade, was to have the honour of bearing the Imperial assent for the ratification of the Queen of England. (From the Bombay Times of May 30.) In the Government Gazette, of the 30th ult., appeared a notification, signed by the Chief Secretary to Government, intimating that their Highnesses the Jam of Nowanuggur, the Nawab of Joonaghur, and the Thakoor of Bhownuggur had "agreed to extend to their p or t s on t h e coast of Kattywar, the rules established by his Highness the Qui cowar, for exempting vessels trading between Bombay and Sinde, forced by stress of weather into any of his Highness's ports in Kattywar, from the payment of the duties heretofore exacted at those ports." It was ex pected that the liberal course thus adopted would have been likewise followed by the'ehief of Moozufferabacl, but in thi s the authorities have been disappointed,' the ruler in question having declined to acquiesce in thd proposed arrangement. Parties, therefore, engaged in trade with Sinde would do well to instruct the commanders of their vessels, should they meet with severe weather, to endeavour to avoid entering the ports of the chief in question, and make for other har bours where they will not render themselves liable to exac tion. The matter is one which should be generally made known ; and our native contemporaries will no doubt oblige us by copying this paragraph for the henefit of their readers. JULLUNDUR DOAB.

From Rajpoor we are sorry to learn that no abatement of cholera has yet taken place among the men of the 22d Regi ment, en route to Baroda, at which place they are happily expected soon to arrive. Notwithstanding all the precautions which have been used to guard against the scourge, large numbers are still carried off every day ; the sufferings of the men being much augmented by the want of water, which is experienced on the marches. The humane conduct of Capt. Wilkie, the Bheel Agent, is spoken of in the highest terms on account of many kind services rendered to the regiment.

The au t, gr , ip y, fic;"llt of been obtained to a public instrument executed between her Majesty's elenipotentiary and the Chinese Minister, subject We have intelligence from Kangra to the 14th instant, re ceived this morning, from which it appears that the garrison still held out, notwithstanding the attempts of Dewan Deena Nath to induce them to surrender. That officer had reached the camp on the 12th inst., and appeared very confident_ of ultimate success. One of our friends thinks the garrison may march out when the guns arrive. They had broken down the bridge connecting the town with the road to the gate. Should they continue to hold out, the great difficulty will be in getting the guns up to the proper level for placing •them in position ; but then two days' shelling must, in the opinion of good judges, settle the matter. The heat was increasing considerably, and it is therefore to be hoped that the service may be sp►edily concluded. The name of the Killedar is Hunsraj.—Delhi Gazette, May 20. NORTH-WEST PROVINCES. Our latest Ferozopore lette .a are to the effect that secresy had been maintanel to tae last moment regarding the de parture of the Raja of Ladwa, and especially th e direction in which he was to be se n t, by special order of the Govern ment, to prevent his giving such notice to his friends as might, by possibility, lead to an attemFt at conniving at his escape, or effecting a rescue. Sickness was prevalent at Ferozepore, and some cases of cholera had appeared. Small pox had carried off several victims.—Delhi Gazette, May 20. We learn from Loodianah under date of the 16th inst., that the Raja of Ladwa is on his way from Ferozepore to the former station under escort of a wing of the 14th Regiment N. 1., with a party of cavalry (the detachment of this arm from Ferozepore to be exchanged at Dhurumcote for a Ressalah of the Shekawatee Brigade), which will be relieved at Loodianah, whence the prisoner is to be conveyed to Urn banal). He was to be at Dhuruincote on the 14th or 15th, and is no doubt by this safely lodged at Loolanah. It is Mated in one of our letters that some Shroffs at that place are likely to be proceeded against f r having sup idled the Raja with mems during the war—a fact which. it may be rernembaol, was hinted at by our na ive Loodianah correspondent at the time of its oc currence. It appears that three, not two, companies of artillery, as we previously mentioned, have gone from Loo dianali towards Kangra; they are under c,anmand of Lit ut.- Col. Wood of the artillery. The number of mortars sent against the fort is ten. A report prevailed at Loodianah on the 16th that Kangra had been surrendered, but we think .ve should have beard of it had such been the case. Another report, and more likely to be correct, was that the Doab is to be formed into a divisional command, and that Brigadier Wheeler would, in that case, be transferred to Mhow. The tlth Irregular Cavalry marched, on the morning of the 16th, under Capt. Holmes, towards Iturree-ke-Ghat, their new des tination, and the infantry and artillery of the Bundelkund Legion had arrived from Ferozepore.—lbid.

(~lii;al MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE - WS' (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Sztari day, and 5,000 b ags were so l d, 1,500 being on speculation .511, for export. The market upon the whole was firm. were steady. A constuerable degree of interest is felt in all corn' nerele l . circles to learn the proposals of Government relative to 1. 1 ; changes in the sugar duties. The stability of the Mi Ins% in not a few quarters is su pp ose d t o d epen d upon t h e of Lord John Russell's scheme; but the more general opin is that the intended alteration will, after a smart t slight struggle, be acquiesced in, a s it a pp ears to -"; an admitted fact, that some change must °eel' and that too, with or without an appeal to the country,in U$ shape of a dissolution of Parliament. Whether it be true of not, the impression is that there will be a gradual declirlo' yearly, in the impost upon foreign slave-grown sugars, to W Y on for five years. It is, howe ver , a ll b u t use l ess to speculate further upon the subject, most interesting though it be, as a very few hour s can i ntervene b efore the public will be put t possession of the scheme of the Premier. An important change has taken place in the state of th e , Corn Market, prices having fallen not less than 53. P e ' quarter. The supplies are immense, say about 10,000 qttar' ters. The farmers seeing that the prospect of the harvest most satisfactory, are pushing forward their old stocks sr:t a most earnest desire to realise the present rates. Anott te`.. fall in value is fully calculated upon next week. The 3 - quiries fur foreign grain are very limited indeed. There are not any Colonial arrivals in the City to-day; The market for Consols has been certainly heavy at 95;9 for the Account, and at 95% for the transfer to-morrow. 111° speculators for a fall have been rather active, under the Mr, pression that a fresh Ministerial difficulty exi s t s en the Sur'' Duties.
