LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS LITERATURE. Lives of the Sovereigns of Russia, from Rurik to Nicholas, including a History of the Empire, from its Foundation to the Present. By George Shr, Fowler Esq. Shoberl. Four vols. Vol. I. The ancient history of Russia is but little known, b i t. and it is only from the casual mention, by ancient 20 classic writers, of the barbarians who were the ter ror of the frontiers of the civilised wor ld for cen turies before the Christian era, that we can obtain 31 any information on the subject. It appears from the best authority that the northern portions of 27,1 Asia and Europe were inhabited by numerous No madic tribes, known as Samarians and Scythians, 22 who, even before the time of Cyrus, made predatory St incursions into the southern provinces between the 50 rivers Don and Dnieper. They, however, gave way 50 before the more powerful colonist, and the country 5 50 0 was successively overrun by the migratory hordes of 25 Alans, Huns, Avarians, and Bulgarians, until the sixth century, when the Sclavonians a race coming from the northern Danube—drove these tribes towards the northern and western provinces, and becoming more civilised by their intercourse with the southern States, became Christians, and founded in the country, afterwards called Ru.ssia, the cities of Novogorod and Kiof, which early attained a commercial importance. But the wealth and prosperity of the new state soon excited the cupidity of its neighbours, the most powerful of whom were the Varangians, race of bold pirates who infested the coasts of the Baltic ; and the Sclavonians finding their case desperate, offered the government of the State to these warlike rovers as an only means of safety. In consequence of this, a celebrated Varangian chief named Rurik arrived in 862 with a body of his countrymen in the neighbourhood of the lake Cad.oga and laid the foundation of the present Russian Empire, by uniting his people with those who already occupied the soil. It is with this prince that Mr. Fowler commences his history, and he states in the preface that he is surprised that no complete history has been hitherto published of an empire which has lasted so many centuries. He finds half of the first volume quite sufficient to detail, and that rather minutely, all the events of importance which took place in that vast empire up to the end of the seventeenth cen tury, when Russia first became a nation ; for until the master mind of Peter the Great first awakened the dormant energies of the country, Russia was but a wilderness, inhabited by savages. The life of Peter the Great, which occupies the latter half of this volume, is, of course, highly interesting, and abounds with anecdotes, of which the following are a specimen : " The Tzar, during one month's residence in London, saw almost everything that was worth notice ; he visited the manufactories and workshops of various artisans, and made large purchases of things the most curious and use ful ; amongst others, he bought the famous geographi cal clock, made by Mr. John Carte, watchmaker, at the sign of the Dial and Crown, near Essex-street, in the Strand, which clock tells what hour it is in any part of the world, whether it is day or 'night, the sun's rising and settin g throughout the year, its entrance into the signs of the zodiac, the arch which they and the sun in them make above or below the horizon, with several other curious motions.' He was very particular in exa mining the mechanism of a watch, and it is said he could take one of these ingenious machines to pieces and put it together again, before he left London. " Peter was much amused at visiting the Courts of Westminster, constantly inquiring about the busy peo ple in black gowns and wigs, and what they were doing, and on being answered that they were lawyers—' Law yers !' said he, with much astonishment, why, I have but two in my whole dominions, and I believe I shall hang one of them the moment I get home.' He was introduced to the Archbishop of Canterbury, at Lambeth Palace, to whom he expressed a desire to see the differ ent churches of the metropolis, and to observe the mode of worship. The Primate appointed Bishop Burnet to accompany his Majesty , from whom we have a long report of the Tzar's character and conduct in London, amongst which is the following He is a man of very hot temper, soon influenced, and very brutal in his passions • he raises his natural heat by drink ing much brandy, which he rectifies himself with great application ; he is subject to convulsive motions all over his body, and his. head seems to be affected with these ; he wants not capacity, and has a larger measure of knowledge than might have been expected from his education, which was very indifferent. A want of judgment, with an instability of temper, appear in him too often and too evidently ; he is mechanically turned, and seems designed by nature rather to be a ship-car penter than a great prince. This was his chief study and exercise while he stayed here ; he wrought much with his own hands, and made all about him work at his models of ships. He was desirous to understand our doctrine, but he did not seem disposed to. mend matters in Muscovy ; there is a mixture both of passion and se- . verity in his temper ; he .is resolute, but understands little of war, and seemed not at all inquisitive in that way. After I had seen him often, and conversed much St. with him, I could not but adore ie depth of the provi- 5 dence of God, that hid raised up such a furious man to St. so absolute an authority over so great a part of the world.' 20 " The Tzar dined with the King at Kensington, when St. he was prevailed upon to see the ceremony of his Ma- 15 jesty going to the House of Lords to pass some bills of Parliament ;he had a great objection to being seen, but 6 ; he must gratify his curiosity : they therefore put him on 6, the top of the house, where, from a window, he could see all that was passing, when his grotesque figure occa sioned so much merriment to the King and all below, that his Tzarian Majesty was obliged to descend q uicker than ° 7 he intended. 6 " The Marquis of Carmarthen acted as his guide to all places of public amusement; he went two or three times Cr only to the theatre, but, from not knowing the language, 10 he took very little interest in what was going on. At a 20 ball at St. James's, to which the Tzar was invited, instead of mixing with the company he was put into a small room, 10 where he could see all without being seen. His aversion to St, the public gaze was so great, that he could not be pre- 5 vailed upon to go into the body of the House of Com- u m ons to hear the debates, but looked down upon it from St a hole in the ceiling. Never was any monarch so shy as the great Tzar of Muscovy. His delight was, when St at Deptford th IVI to get enzikoff and into a small bo or three otat belongiherng s, when to the St dockyard, he would be the helmsman, and teach them how to coin- C wand ships when they go home. Having finished their day's work they used to resort to a public-house to drink 5( beer and brandy peppered; brandy was the Tzar's fa vourite beverage. His Majesty was a hard drinker;— Si on one occasion, when coming from Deptford, he was 11 lodged at the house of Mr. Morley, where, for his morning entertainment, he drank a pint of brandy and a s bottle of sherry, at dinner he drank eight more bottles 21 of sack, and after that went to the playhouse." 91 BRITISH RAILWAYS.

As he proceeded along the road under- S ground, however, the boy lost hi s li g ht, and after that St missed his way, getting into some old works. From that time he was not seen or heard of until Monday morning, 50 when he was found by the hauliers in a very weak state. He was at once taken home, where he is now doing very 12} well. The poor little fellow had but his Friday's dinner in his bag for the whole of the time. He states : "After 12A I lost my light I found that I was lost, and in a strange road. I could hear my father at work all day on Friday. 25 I knocked the side, and made as much noise as I possibly ,„ could, but no one answered me. They all went out that " 6 night, leaving me there ; I cried very much. I thought 12? I saw the stars two or three times, although I was 100 12i yards underground. I saved my dinner as much as I 12; could, eating a bit at a time, not knowing whether I St: should ever be found or not. The pit broke on Saturday St. morning, consequently there was no work until Monday m orning. The whole time I had been w anderin g about 1M in the dark, when I heard t he hauliers, and I made my 20 way to them." It appears that the father made search all through the neighbourhood, thinking the boy had not followed him into the pit, lint that he was loitering about St. with other boys on the top of ground. The poor little 20 fellow did not know what day it was when he was asked St. at the time he was found ; he thought he had been there seven or eight days.—Hereford Tintes. 15 SWEDISH LAWS WITH RESPECT TO INTOXICATION.— 8 The laws against intoxication are enforced with great rigour in Sweden. Whoever is seen drunk, is fined, 10 for the first offence, three dollars ; for the second, six ; 10 for the third and fourth a still further sum ; and is 25 also deprived of the right of voting at elections, and 10 of being appointed a, representative. He is, besides, 1.0,6 publicly exposed in the parish church on the following Sunday. If the same individual is found committing St. the same offence a fifth time, he is shut up in the House 20 of Correction, and condemned to six months' hard la- 12 4 bour ;ifhe is again guilty, to a twelvemonths' punish- , ment of a similar description. If the offence has been ' com mitted in public, such as at a fair, an auction, &c., St. the fine is doub led, and if the offender has m ade his aro- 17 pearance at a church, the punishment is still more severe. 25 Whoever is convicted of having induced another to in toxicate himself, is fined three dollars, which sum is doubled if the p erson is a minor. An ecclesiastic who falls into this offence loses his benefice ; if it is a layman - 4 . who occupies any considerable post, his functions are 10 suspended, and perhaps lie is dismissed. Drunkenness 10 is never admitted as an excuse for any crime, and who- 10 ever dies drunk is buried ignominiously, and deprived of the prayers of the Church. It is forbidden to give, and • more explicitly to sell, any spirituous liquors to students, workmen, servants, apprentices, and private soldiers. Whoever is observed drunk in the streets, or making a noise in a tavern, is sure to be taken to prison, and de- i tained till sober, without, however, being on that ac- 1( count exempted from the fines. One half of these fines 1( go to the informers (who are generally police officers), ; the other half to the poor. If the delinquent has no I money, he is kept in prison until some one pays for him, or until he has worked out his enlargement. , ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT WALIIAMPTON.—Two men 4' have been committed on the charge of a ttem p tin g to -1- murder the aged gardener of the Rev. Sir George Bur rard, at Walha,mpton, in the parish of Boldre, and who, it is surprising to state, is in a fair way of recovery, after receiving the most brutal treatment. Mr. Piibeam, superintendent of county police, obtained such evidence as led to the commitment of two notorious characters, belonging to the same neighbourhood, named William Smith and George Jerkins, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1852. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) (Continued from our Third Edition of last evening.) BRITISH SUGAR COLONIES. Mr. J. WILSON called the attention of the house to the effects of the Sugar Acts of 1846 and 1843 upon the British Sugar Colonies, and upon the sugar trade of the United Kingdom, and moved for the following papers —Copies of reports made by the Board of Inland Reve nue in 1848 and 1849, in reference to the refining of sugar in bond ; and, return of the quantities of sugar, molasses, and rum, and the amount of duties re ceived thereon, in the year ending the sth day of July, 1852; also, of the average price per cwt., of Muscovado sugar, exclusive of duty, from the London Gazette, and the average prices per cwt. of Havannah sugar (ordinary yellow), exclusive of duty, from the London Mercantile Prices Current for that year (in con tinuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 296, of Session, 1852). The hon. gentleman reminded the course which the Government had taken on this subject. Last evening the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies, gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the house to the whole subject, but when the right lion. gentleman came into office he stated that the sub ject would be postponed until the present session, and now it was said Government intended to abandon the subject altogkher. Now this latter determination was not approved of by that interest which it was supposed the Government had heretofore represented, and he was therefore anxious to have the matter more definitively set at rest. It was a remarkable fact that ever since the war the consumption of sugar had remained almost stationary, and he thought that fact sufficiently proved that something had been wrong in the laws which regulated the supply and demand of the article. The consumption of sugar in the three years preceding the passing of the existing law was consider ably less than what it was in the three years subsequent to the passing of the act. But in spite of all the diffi culties which the British producer had to contend against, he had surpassed the foreigner considerably • for while the produce of the slave-growing states had ' only in creased 25 per cent. during the last five years, that of the'British Sugar Colonies had increized. 38 per cent. It was, therefore, preposterous to argue that free trade had proved ruinous to the latter •, it had, on the contrary, greatly assisted the West Indies, while it had supplied increased employment for our artizans at home. I Nor had the revenue suffered from the change in the system, for whereas the revenue yielded by rum and sugar previous to 1846, when free trade was first applied to the West Indies, was 5,981,0001. a-year, while in the present year it was 5,446,0001., showing a very slight falling off indeed, when it was considered that the change had saved the people something like 12,000,0001. a year in the price of the commodities of rum and sugar. He made these remarks with a view of showing the house that the subject had not been neg lected, and that every pains had been taken to extend to the colonies the privilege of refining in bond. If however, the right hon. gentleman could satisfy himself, for he admitted it was a matter more for the details of a department than for legislative interference as a principle —if they would safely introduce refining in bond, with out imposing any serious difficulty or inconvenience upon the refiner, he thought it would be attended with advan tage—in short, be a great boon to the colonists. He apologised to the house for making this somewhat length ened statement, and wo .ild not have done so had he not thought that, in the p:culiar position in which the ques tion now stood, it was the duty of the house to vindicate, not the conduct of a party—not those who were instru mental in bringing forward the measure, but the Parlia ment of Great Britain, in dealing with our colonial pos sessions. He hoped he would never see the day when that house could be justly charged with indifference to the interests of the colonists ; and did he not sincerely believe that the policy which we had adopted in 1846 was calculated, eventually, to benefit the colonies them selves, as well as the whole of the empire , he, for one, would never have sanctioned it. (Hear, hear.) The motion having been put and seconded, Sir J. PAKINGTON complimented the hon. gentleman upon the extensive knowledge and great accuracy of detail he had displayed in addressing the house ; and proceeded to say that the hon. gentleman had so pointedly referred to the course which, for some years, he (Sir J. Pakington) had taken on this question, that he hoped the house would listen to him while he offered some observations in reply. The hon. gentleman had said that his motive on this occa sion was to vindicate the policy of the last five years, and he (Sir J. Pakington) asked for as great an indulgence while he defended the view he had taken during that time in regard to that policy. He did not wonder that the hon. gentleman should have taken every advantage for the pur poses of his argument, of the remarkable circumstances of the sugar trade in the present year ; but with regard to the present state of this most important subject, and with re gard to the prospects of the sugar colonies, he (Sir J. Pa kington) would endeavour to speak with the most perfect candour. He was never disposed to shrink from an avowal of his opinion, or of a change of opinion ; and he thought that the part a public man should be really ashamed of was any hesitation in the confession that in any former view he had been mistaken. But in this instance, in jus tice to himself, and after reviewing all that he had said or done on the subject, he was bound to observe that he was not now disposed to retract anything. He admitted frankly that the figures which marked the sugar trade for the cur rent year were figures which he had not expected to have seen ; and, on the other hand, he thought it probable that if ho had asked the hon. gentleman himself twelve Months ago, or even so late as last February, whether he antici pated such figures as those which had been referrod to the other evening by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would have considered them as very extravagant. The hon. gen tleman had recited on this occasion the objection urged by him (Sir J. Pakington) and his friends to the policy of the noble lord the member for the city of London : those ob jections being that in the first place the act of 1846 would encourage the slave trade • next, that it would stimulate the produce of sugar produced by the instrumentality of slaves ; and thirdly, that it would injure the interests of our own sugar-producing colonies ; and the hon. gentleman had contended that in every one of these respects - the pre dictions had been falsified. Here he joined issue with the hon. gentleman ; and he would maintain that in each in stance his predictions had been fulfilled. First, as to the slave trade. The hon. gentleman mentioned the circum stances of the slave trade in 1846 • and he then appealed to the great and gratifying diminution in that trade during the last year (1851). But the hon. gentleman neglected two important points. He did not advert to the condition of the slave trade previous to 1846 ; and he made no reference to the state of the slave trade during the years which inter vened between 1846 and 1851. All that the hon. gentle man had said, in the way of distinction, was, that the import of slaves into Brazil in 1846, althOugh large, was not to be taken into calculation, inasmuch as that was the year in which the legislation in question took place, and hence the circumstances of that year could not have been affected by our legislation. But there was a Parliamentary paper on the table which showed the whole facts very conc lusively. In 1842 the import of slaves to Bra zil was 17,405 ; in 1843, 19,095 ; in 1844, 22,849 ; and in 1845, 19,453. He passed the year 1846 as not in question, and ho came to 1847, in which the import was 56,173 ; in 1848, 60,000 ; in 1849, 54,000 ; in 1850, 23,000. The difference, therefore was prodigious ; and it was impossible to resist the conclusion, looking to the nature of our legislation, that the act of 1846, introducing slave produce into this country, had given an enormous stimulus to the slave , trade, and had been the cause of that rapid and startling increase which the figures he had react would show. In 1851, how ever, as the hon. gentleman poin ted out, the import into Brazil' suddenly dropped to 3,267. He stated the fact with great pleasure ' and in the present year it would be found, he was glad to know, that the slave traffic to Brazil had al most ceased. But he hoped the hon. gentleman would not think he was very unfair if he stated his suspicions that the glut, as he might call it, of the slave market in Brazil in 1851, and the almost complete cessation of the trade in 1852, were not wholly unconnected with the enormous number of slaves forced into Brazil in the four preceding years. The circumstances of the traffic in those preceding years were such as, he believed, had given the Brazilian Government some alarm, so that a sudden fall in the num bers imported took place ; and he confessed he was not sanguine that future years would be marked by the same absence of a slave trade to Brazil which distinguished tho present year. In regard to Cuba, much the same circum stances and results were observable. (The right hon. gen tleman here read the figures illustrating his argument.) The number imported into Cuba had fallen from 8,749 in 1849, to 5,000 in 1851; but the hon. gentleman was no doubt aware of the fact, which it was melancholy to state, that in the present year the slave trade to that island had been increasing, and the new Captain-General of Cuba was not, it was to be apprehended, 13y any means disposed to discourage the trade. Putting the whole of these facts to gether, he thought he had said enough to show that on this point the results had borne out his and his friends' predic tions. He came, then, to the second argu ment ur g e d against the act 0f1846, that it would tend to give a stimu lus to the production of slave-grown sugar. Hero he had in some degree to complain of the figures used by the hon. gentleman, though no doubt the hon. gentleman was en titled to use those figures which best assisted his own view of the case. But, here, again he was prepared to show, as far as an inference could be drawn from facts, that the act of 1846 had given an enormous stimulus t as a consequence of giving a stimulus to the slave trade itself, to the produce of sugar grown and manufactured by means of slave labour; and that while this country had been making prodigious efforts to suppress thi s dis g raceful traffic, this unhappy le gislation of 1846, as he would still insist on calling it, had had the effect to the greatest degree that legislation could have, of forcing the growth of sugar produced by slave labour. The hon. gentleman was no doubt aware that the information which was obtained with rct o this subject from Brazil, was given in regard to ©casks " and other quantities little known in England ; and he (Sir J. Pakington) had therefore reduced the returns to J . The hon. gentleman had not touchedhad the state of the sugar y market of Brazil p rior to 1846—he onl a great increase since 1846. But attention to the figures which represented the state of things previous to 1846 in Cuba was also very necessary. The average exports of the 4 years ending 1845, from Cuba, were 3,191,706 cwts.; and the average exports from Cuba in the four years ending 1850 (passing over the transitive year 1846) were 4,945,814 cwts. He would now show the house the aggregate re sults, taking the produce of these two slave growing coun tries. The average exports of the four years to 1846 were 4,290,841 cwts., and of the four years ending 1850 were 6,266,770 cwts., showing an increase in the latter fours ears of 1,975,839 cwts. Well, he thought he might appl to these figures with the same confidence that he did to his figures on the slave trade, to show that the effect of the legislation of 1846 was to give a great stimulus to the pro duce of sugar by slave labour. He now came to the third po i n t —namely, the effect on our sugar producing colonies. Now, the hon. gentleman had met this part of the subject, he must say, with great coolness. That the consumers in t hi s country had derived great benefit be was perfectly willing to admit. The imports to this country had the swollen from s omewhere about two millions of cwts., at ginning of the century, to about four million cwts., at the extinction of slavery, and now amounted to upwards of sla simillion x cwts., cheapened enormously by our recent legi tion, in consequence of which, while the comforts of the consumer had been greatly promoted and the revenue bad . . neous decrease of home-grown sugar, and a depression in price wholly unparalleled in the'history of the sugar trade ; and be was not ashamed to say that he was on that state of things that he was prepared to appeal to Government, and had it not been for the change of Government, which almost deranged their proceedings, he should have ap pealed to Parliament to afford redress for this state of things. But what was the state of things now ? It was a state of things which the hon. gentleman himself could not have anticipated. He most cordially wished that this state of things might go on. He found that in the ten months of the year 1851 ending in October, the British sugar entered for home consumption was 2,250,168 cwts., and in the ten months ending in October, 1852, this had risen to 3,085,252 cwts., showing an enormous increase. And what did he find in respect to foreign sugar? Why that the foreign sugar retained for home consumption in the first ten months of 1851, which was 1,089,723 cwts., had fallen more than one-half .in the first ten months of 1852, the quantity then being only 480,540 cwts. The figures were completely reversed. Foreign sugar had decreased, Bri tish sugar had increased, and there had been a simulta neous improvement in the price,. which, instead of being 18s. 5d., as it was in the beginning of April, had risen to 255. lid. in the last week in November. Well, then, he had no hesitation in avowing that, whatever his views of the policy of 1846 and 1848 might be, that, looking at the solemn decision of Parliament on this subject—looking at the extent to which the comfort of the home producer was concerned—he certainly could not be a party to asking the House of Commons to revoke this policy. Whether he was out of office or in office did not make the slightest differ ence ; but these figures had so changed the aspect of the question that he could' be no party, under such circum stances, in coming to that house to ask for an increase in the protection. But, much as he wished it, he would not conceal from the hon. gentleman and the house that he was not sanguine with regard to the continuation of this state of things. He believed there-were two causes to which this state of things 'might be in a large measure attributed— one was, that the crops in Cuba and Porto Rico had con siderably decreased. Another cause he believed to be that the ruinously low prices in the spring of this year drove away the sugar from our market to the United States. The hon. gentleman would perhaps say that this would not account for the increase of the British colonial sugar. He admitted that ; but he believed that that increase was to be attributed to the fact that, while the crops in Cuba and Porto Rico had failed, the crops in the West Indies had been remarkably the reverse. On the other hand, he was most willing to admit, and he was glad to hear the honourable gentlemen allude to, the energy, the vigour, and the good spirit which, under the most adverse cir cumstances, had distinguished the British colonist. From a return in the exports in January, 1831, and January, 1851, it appeared that those from Jamaica had fallen off upwards of 1,400,000 cwts., to 627,768 cwt. Barbadoes, however, was exporting much more ,• and the exports of Trinidad were also greater than they had been under slavery. British Guiana, although it exported less than during slavery, had made a great effort ; and he was willing upon the whole to take a most favourable view of four out of the five principal sugar producing colonies. The state of those colonies, namely, British Guiana, Trinidad, Barba does, and Mauritius, showed that this must be regarded mainly as a labour question. (Hear, hear.) Barbadoes was abundantly supplied with labour, and consequently it had both greatly increased its 'produce, and cheapened its rate of production. (Hear, hear.) Still he was not over sanguine. [The right hon. gentleman then quoted a dis patch from Governor Higginson, of Mauritius, who ex pressed an opinion that, owing to a combination of fortu nate circumstances, and the increasing self-reliance of the planters, their hopes for the permanent prosperity of the colony, were in the course of fulfilment, and he trusted would at no distant day be realised ; but he went on to say that he made this statement with great diffidence, for he could not overlook the severity of the competition to which they were subjected.] Owing to their proximity to India, the colonists had been able to ;procure a large supply of coolies, and they might by that means triumph over their difficulties. (Hear, hear.) With regard to British Guiana, the planters had not taken up the whole of the grant of 500,0001. allotted to them, but they had taken 350,0001. of it, and with that assistance he hoped they also would be able to struggle through. With respect to Trinidad, Lord Harris wrote, that though his own feeling had formerly been against immigration, he now perceived the enormous advantages resulting from it ; and ho emphatically added, that under God, it would be to immigration that the saving of the colony would be attributable. (Hear, hear.) He (Sir J. Pakington) would render all honour to the planters. They had lowered the cost of cultivation in Trinidad fully one-third, and they had also reduced wages. From the re turns of the stipendiary magistrates, which were perhaps the most reliable evidence on the subject—though every thing of this nature must be taken with great caution — the average rate of wages in Trinidad had been lowered from is fiel to is ; in British Guiana from 2s 5d to is 4cl ; in Barbadoes from is lid to 10d ,• and in Jamaica from 2s 1d to is sd. The planters had laid down tramroads and had introduced machinery. They had, in fact, at a very large expenditure, done all they could to meet the difficul ties in which they were placed. (Hear, hear.) Taking then, these favourable circumstances into consideration, and remembering also the extraordinary change of figures which had taken place in the sugar market, he must repeat that this was not the moment at which any Government could advocate a return to the differential duties. (Cheers.) But still ho was far from being sanguine with regard to the state of these colonies. He was con vinced that they still ,required all the assistance which the imperial and local Governments could give. One of the first things required by the colonies was to obtain labour to the utmost extent ; but the permission to refine sugar in bond was likewise an act of justice, and ought to be conceded to them. (Hear, hear.) He would not detain the house with any details as to the mode in which the proposal should be carried out, for his right hon. friend (Mr. Disraeli), when the proper occasion should ar rive, would afford them all the necessary information ; but it was well known that between the superior sugars of Cuba and Brazil, the Muscovado sugars of the West Indies, and the coarse inferior sugars of the East Indies, there was so great a difference in quality that, if they put an equal duty upon the raw article, they were in fact giving a i differential duty to the foreigner. (Hear, hear.) The proposed boon was, therefore, not only an act of jus tice, but would be found to afford the colonial interests an important measure of relief. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say that he could not quit the subject without advert ing to the depressed and half-ruined state of Jamaica, than which nothing could be more deplorable. In a dis patch received from the Governor Sir Charles Grey during the last year he found that the planters were half maddened by their distress and by their apprehensions of ruin im pending. When, therefore, the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Wilson) spoke of the British colonists not suffering distress, he (Sir J. Pakington) need only refer to the em phatic expression of a governor of long experience, who spoke of them being "half-maddened." (Hear.) In another place the governor stated that the depression of the planting interest, arising from the alteration of our policy, was becoming more and more permanent that the finances of the colony were growing from bad to worse ; that the revenue had long since ceased to equal a greatly reduced expenditure ; andlhat the debt had grown, in five years, from 580,0001. to 750,0001. (Hear.) The misery of the island had been greatly ag gravated by one of the most dreadful visitations that* had ever happened to a country. The cholera had fallen on the colony with almost unparalleled severity. The actual loss was esti mated at 40,000, and the loss of field hands was at least 20,000. The financial condition of the island was as bad as possible. Not only had the debt increased since 1847 from 580,000/. to 750,000/. ; not only had the revenue for several years been less than the expenditure, but for several years the interest on the loan from this country had not been paid ; and he was afraid that he must pronounce the island in a state .of national insolvency. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances it was the intention of the Go vernment to send out a commissioner to inquire into the state of the island and report. (Hear, hear.) There was a serious defect in the constitution of that country, viz., the manner in whiclithe money votes were brought in and passed. Instead of - being proposed by the Government, they were moved and supported by any member of the Le gislature. This was a most alarming state of things ; and ho (Sir J. Pakington) could not conceive a country in a more depressed condition, both socially and politically. Of course there could be no differential duties established for Jamaica alone ; and the Government had therefore i ()solved, as the period of Sir Charles Grey's office was now approaching its termination, to send out a commissioner to inquire into awl report upon what reforms and changes would be most lik e ly to restore prosperity. Gloomy as the state of Ja maica was, he did not regard it with despair. He believed that, with judicious alterations, with a judicious arrange ment of the finances, and with those reforms which were so cryingly necessary, there was reason to hope that the island might yet be saved from the ruin that seemed to hang over it. He could not, however, retract the censures which he had so often passed upon the legislation of 1846. (Cheers.) He still thought that that legislation was most precipitate and rash. He did not dispute the benefit which it had done to the home consumer ; but, as he had before recently remarked, it was not just to benefit one class at the expense of another. He had said that with regard to the landed interest—an interest which was strong, powerful, here on the spot, amply represented in Parliamant, and able to defend its own rights and claims—and surely the remark was tenfold more a pplicable to those distant colonists, who were unrepre sente d in this_ n house and unable to defend themselves. (Hear , 1 hear.) conclusion he would say that ho approached the q uestion the most disinterested manner. Ho had n o connexion pproached whatever with West Indian Property, and the subject solely from a feeling of his du li ty e e A -Ile sawpu.n man to defend the rights of an interest which cc ia ss _ u _ , l f 1 and. danger. If the efforts of the colonists weere.c. h u s t prove pernm if the present state of improvement lio_ce, i or more wil nent, no one would more sincerely rejoice, tingly admit the fact. (Cho.) fe H r. e had not the least pap ers asked s fs ss ings of the planters, but objection to give the Mr. EWART admitted thesi position in which the colo niststhey had arisen from the false lengthened period. He rejoiced exceed ingly had been fora to hoar hatacommissioner was to be sent out to Jamaica ; t when Malta had been for a long time in a de pressed state , , st'aftoo,r a9ommissioner had been sent to the island, and since then i t had been more prosperous. He must , h ow ever, complain that the right hon. gentleman had not read those passages in the blue book in which the Governor of British Guiana spoke of the gratifying prospects of that colony. The able report of Dr. Sherer which the Governor enclosed, stated that three times the present amount of sugar might be produced in Guiana. Nor had the hon. gentleman referred to similar passages upon St. Vincent's and Barbadoes. From these passages they might fairly conclude that the rising up of a spirit of unrestricted com petition would develop° the resources of the colonies and lead to their ultimate prosperity. Capital, machinery, energy—these were the only means by which relief could be given to the colonist s , It was impossible to separat e suffering and distress from any grea t social change. Such had been the case with Ireland, and such had been the case with the West Indies but what he did p ro test against was, that the right hon. gentleman should bold out to the planters delusive hopes, and unsettle that which had been settled. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME hoped that neither the house nor the country would infer from the speech of the right hon. gentleman that he had been holding out delusive hopes to the colonists, or that he would attempt to disturb the finality settlement of the West India question.. (Mr. Hume) hoped that the different abolished, and that the colonists would de pend upon themselves. At the same ought to be done to assist them, n the shackles by which they were delighted with the proposal. H hear ) Ho 1 duties would' be b taught to time everything and to remove ' from them n bound. Hence, he was of Government as to , refining seemed to (Hoar .) The right Ihon. gentleman in bond. lament that all the loans had not been taken up. He (Mr. Hume), on the other h and, regretted that they had ever been taken up at all; for the money had been lavished away, and, what was worse, this country might never ex pect to see it returned. The only chance the colonies had was that the different properties should fall into the hands of n ew proprietors, who should only give a few dollars for that which had cost thousands. Sir J. PABINGTON explained, that he had not the ighteat intention to attempt the removal of the present not fallen off, or only in a slight degree, that the hon. gen tleman should have dwelt on those results was to have been expected, but to say that our West India colonists had not suffered, was a statement for which ho was not prepared, and from which he must totally dissent. Personally ap pealed to, as he had been on this subject, he trusted he might be excused if he brought forward proofs of the tre mendous sufferings inflicted on our colonists—sufferings greater, he believed, than any country in the world had ever inflicted upon any portion of its subjects. His diffi culty in approaching this part of the subject arose out of the mass of matter which had accumulated within the last fow years. His duty had been to make a selection of the proofs which might best illustrate the extent of those suf ferings. He would begin with a pamphlet written by his made friend the member for Lynn. He believed he had read this extract before, but what did his noble friend say? He said, " I was prepared for desolation, but not for wha I saw. The whole land was strewed with ruins of houses and mills, and those not old, but new buildings." He then goes on to say, after alluding to other matters with which I will not trouble the house, and remember this statement was not made at a distant period—it was made with regard to what he saw in 1850. He would now read another ex tract from the pamphlet, again referring to British Guiana in which he said, and he believed the substance of this was taken from a very important report presented by certain Commissioners in British Guiana, which gave a most gloomy account of the condition and prospects of that island. The pamphlet went on to say,—" Of a total of about 600 estates now or formerly existing in British Guiana, the commission reported ofBo as having been placed under sequestration between 1847 and 1849. I have it on private authority that in the last year 19 more have been placed on the list, while 33 have been disposed of by execution sale. In one month seven estates were sold. Their collective value at one time was upwards of 170,0001. Their price last year was between 14,0001. and 15,0001. (Hear, hear.) Then Lord Harris, in an important dispatch, referring to what the hon. gentleman had dwelt on so much to-day, namely, the increase of the exports, said, " Notwithstanding, it can be shown without much difficulty, that not only has there been no profit during a term of years on all the estates together, but, on the cd n trary, there has been a dead loss of British capital to the amount of at least a million sterling." This was the evi dence of Lord Harris, referring to the effect of increased exports. He would not dwell now—though it must be fresh in the recollection of the hon. gentleman—on the fearful events that took place in the Mauritius in 1848, which almost rained that country, which, he was happy to say, had almost passed away, and given way to much better prospects. He would now take the liberty of reading a letter; and, as it was a private communication, he would not mention the name of the writer, but would give it to the hon. gentleman. The writer was a respectable planter in Jamaica, and he said—" So utterly do I despair of this colony rising from the load of distress under which she has suffered, and still suffers, that lam now offering, quite voluntarily on my part, to give up my estate for a debt of less than one-fifth of its value, while my parental estate in this land is abandoned, though still in my own hands." This was a letter dated June of the present year. He now turned to another extract of the same kind ; and here again he would not mention the name, but he also was a pro prietor. He said, "In 1819 these estates netted the pro prietor 22,0001." An HON. MEMBER—In one year ? Sir J. PAKINGTON—Yes, in one year. The writer proceeds to say—" They now return no income whatever ; and this is the case with thousands." And here let him add that that very morning he had received a letter from a gentleman with whom he had no acquaintance, but he pre sumed he must be a large proprietor, for he told him that he had 32 properties in Jamaica belonging to him, and that if some change did not speedily take place, it was his in tention to write out by an early packet to abandon the whole of these 32 properties. Now he appealed to the house whether the hon. gentleman was justified to take such a view as he had done of the effects of this legislation. Be it just or unjust, be it beneficial to the consumers at home or injurious, he said the hon. gentleman was not justified in attempting to hele out that this legislation had not pro duced a most frightful ruin of our West India colonists. He would now read an extract from a letter to a gentleman of very great intelligence who had come lately to this coun try from Jamaica. He came here about six months ago in an official position, and he would give his name to the hon. gentleman if he wished it. This was a letter received a few days ago by his brother, describing what had taken place in Jamaica since his departure. He said—" I have duly received your welcome letter of the 21st ult." This was dated the 21st of November, 1852. "It found me in low spirits. You can form no conception of the depression, day by day, going on here. You have not yet been away six months, and the change would alarm you. Our lower orders are becoming daily more reckless ; putting aside all decency ; and vice and crime are walking the streets. Our better classes are losing all hope, and the aspect of things is truly distressing." The last evidence with which ho would trouble the house on this part of the subject—for he thought the house would believe that evidence was not wanting—was an official paper. It was headed " A return of public taxes, rates, and dues lately raised or to bo col lected for the coming year, 1852." It was a general state ment of the rates and taxes to be levied upon Jamaica generally, and the first column showed the value at which the property of Jamaica was assessed for the purpose of taxa tion. It gave every country and every parish, and the result was, that in the year 1851 the rateable value of Jamaica property by this return was 9,499,7901. ; but the rateable value of Jamaica property in the preceding year, 1850, was 11,556,3791. (Hear, hear.) Now, he asked the house if he could adduce a more painful proof of the hor rible distress in which their boasted legislation had involved the West India colonists, than by showing them that in one year the value of property in Jamaica had decreased up wards of two millions,of money, and two-elevenths of the whole of the property of the country. The hon. gentleman said the effect of the act of 1846 ought to be seen in five years. He quite agreed with him, and. thought he had shown them the effect of the act in five years. But the hon. gentleman talked of unrestricted competition, and he was astonished to hear such a momentary forgetfulness of the facts. Instead of five years of unrestricted competition, these five years had been years in which, though they had admitted slave produce to a great extent, they had, neverthe less, b ee n years during which the British grower had been protected by a high, though a gradually descending pro tective duty ; and at this moment, when the hon. gentle , man talked of unrestricted competition, they had, in fact, a differential duty in favour of the colonial grower, of up wards of 30 per cent. During the whole of the present year, British Muscavado sugattiad been admitted at a duty of 10s. per cwt. (Mr. Wilson here made a remark which was not heard in the gallery.) He begged the hon. gen tleman's pardon ; he spoke of unrestricted competition; but whether he did or not, it did not affect the facts. It was not unrestricted competition. (Hear, hear.) While British Muscovado sugar had paid a duty of 10s. during the present year, foreign sugar from the Ist of January to the sth of July paid 15s. 6d. and now was paying 14s. 6d. Consequently, at this time the British producer was protected, and had, throughout the present year been protected, by a duty amounting to con siderably upwards of 30 per cent. The hon. gentleman spoke of adopting this policy once and for ever, and he boasted of the policy of 1846. Now, he must say that, if there was one thing which he had learned from his expe rience in that house, it was to disavow, if not to treat with ridicule, any idea of final settlement by Parlia ment of great financial and commercial speculations. (Hear.) In matters of indisputable principle, on great principles of right and wrong they might come to a final settlement ; but when they came to deal with matters concerning the comforts of the people, with fiscal arrangements, he said that final settlement was an absiu-dity; and what was more, that if Parliament were to attempt to arrive at final settlement, it would be binding the first functions of the Legislature. Why, it was their duty to consider the de mands of the people—it was their duty to consider in these fiscal and commercial matters what the interest of the country mainly required. He was not now speaking of any of the questions of the present day more particularly. He was only laying down a rule, that he thought every sen sible man, whatever his feeling might be, must subscribe to. He said, they must shape their legislation, from time to time, as the necessities of the country required, and as the comforts of the people required. Why, was there not enough in the proceedings of Parliament on this very sub ject to make themvery cautious how they embarked in final settlements ? Why, the noble lord the member for London, when he proposed this measure in 1846, expressly declared that he did it with a view to a final settlement—and how long did it last ? Not two years. It was passed in August, 1846, and it WRl—if he might be permitted to coin a new w ord—unfinalised in July, 1848. In 1848 it was found that the Legislation of 1846 was no longer tenable, and his right hon. friend the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was obliged to come down to that house and propose an im portant modification in the bill of 1846, but the distress, the very great distress, which had previously existed, did not pass away. The alteration of the law however, h owev er, had a t lowerr e l l : o ct et . th l a n n l t B4B t had th e e ve p r ri b ce een h . ad retained I f t s l f o l e l I to for 2r a 3l n si 0. mai; &. e n t o c u io) r iol i cwt. The quantity of foreign sugar su mption had risen under the new act to the enormous amount of 1,120,783 cwts. and the consumption oco long sugar had fallen to 3,500,381 cwts. The result of change of the law in 1848 was to check this great consump tion of foreign sugar, and to give an encouragement to home-grown sugar. He found that in 1849 the figures materially altered. The foreign sugar consumed at home amounted to 496,475 cwts., while the consumption of colonial sugar had risen to 4,054,981 cwts. But in the year 1850 this state of things was again changed. In 1850 the foreign sugar retained for home consumption rose to 820,967 cwts., and colonial sugar fell to 3,786,000 cwts. It was in this year, 1850, that the great distress of these colonies was again pressed on Parliament. He joined an honourable friend of his, no longer a member of this house, Sir Edward Buxton, in pressing the matter on Government. He was then defeated, but he saw no reason to regret the course he then took. The year 1851 passed by without any renewed effort, except that at the close of the session he himself pressed upon the house in the strongest terms, as he then thought, and still thought, the injustice done to the British colonists, and that they should adopt the plan which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had consented to adopt, namely, that the British grower should be allowed to refine in bond. This was the only movement which was made in that session. He now came to that which had been pointedly commented on, and very justly said—he made no complaint—by the hon. member, namely, the notice which he himself gave at the close of the session of 1851, that at the commencement of the session of 1852 he should draw the attention of Parliament ton,thres subject, and press upon them the necessity of rnodifyin the l t a rn w th ef , that at the Th The hon. e g n en ee t in lem en a t n of h l a i d ,st st s a o t s e sni d o , n iv_ h - o i e t v l e i rro p e nnme r w f e e en c d t t that notice, and at the time when the present iu the order book office came into that notice was stan din g_ be came into office in his name as a dropped notice. he gave o ave why he gave that session, and he was now prim - Ar i el t whyexpitlawnamtionnost swirlisicihottohnetiho:ionA.t.oofgtseehanryritlnegmiatnfohlawdaarddivelartet thinmgeadoes b n y ot h ice et ,. m an a d joe w ty, hy s concurred G he o,,ero n Inmatuthe connnencement of the last regarded the sugar trac -, n. the.

In November and December of that year, the highest price of any week was 21s. 10d., the lowest price 19s. W e ll, what took place at the commencement of 1852 ? Why, the prices kept falling. They ranged from 225. to 21s. in February ; in the first two weeks in March they fell to 19s. Old., and in the last week the price was 20s. The first week in April it was 18s. 5d., the lowest price that sugar had ever been known in this coun try. This was the state of things in which he was pre pared to move in the spring of last year. The year 1851 had been distinguished by three circumstances of the gravest importance connected with the sugar trade of the country, wooly, an increue of foreign sugar, a simulta- 32 - 33 6 -- 10i -- 7 6i d 21i d 1 2 09 69 25. / 19, 1d 9 - 10 31 - 107 69 - 24. - 19 - 13k - si 78t 59 GO 79 - 81 30 - 32 60 - 62 84A -85 i 47 - 49 122 - 124 107) -- 10811 961 -- 97 88 t -- --90 11A 12Ap 86 -- 861 -- 3 d 2 —2 l d 18 -- 19 9 A - 9i 1 109 f -- A 110i p, 1271 -127 t 4 -41 p 2; p 94 - 95 34 —24 d 24 2 d 13 134 21 22 31 324 34 —3 d 80t 814 47' 49 52 • -- 541 3A -- 3 d l 2/ -- 3i 9 i -- 9 1 59 -- 61 8 —9 3 -- 21 d 41 -- 42 6A -- 6i d 2 i i - .1 - 3 - 54 - 94 - 55 98 - 69 69 67 - 78 82 11— d 20 21 10 —10 i 15 16 3 —ltd 244 - 80 391 - 14 - 4i - 24 - 2 - 13 10 - 10 27i - 28 9i- 101 1 i ii : 16 6d 2 --2 d 6 —62 i M SHARES • • • ..-.'. 109 abk 111 1105 - 107 19 194 id —lip 6 - 64 gi ----: 3 4 8 i - ip 1$ -1/ 14 -- 151 18 -• S. -3, 27 i:i6 112 -- 113 9 - 91 -1 p 1 Ogg i- 110; par i P L 52 155 . - •' • --- • o• p• ..... ••• .. •-- ••• 3i - 4 pi Rj - 13g - 13 h 9 - 10. 11 - 11 - i P -1 pi 50 151 24 — 1 4 P 6 13i 6a4 - 2i 102 - 101 25 - 26, 23 -2/ p 111 - 11 - 17! 17 18 par— A P 251 - 26, 19 - 20 Par ipn - i 1102 104 51 1 5i - t pl uzi 6 19& BANKS. 61 109 8 69A 9 i 8i 9i 61$ 13 i 1 8 784 8 9 301 1i 1 61 84 5 41 119611 I i i 1 7 12} 86/ 91} iIO9A 10 12'71 ii 32 80i a 1 it LLOYD'S SHIPPING_UHIS DAY.)
