A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Tuesday, the 18th day of May, 1841. Resolved, That all laws which, under the pretext of afford ing requisite protection to the aglicultural interests of this kingdom, impose exorbitant or fluctuating duties on the impor tation of corn and other provisions, are injurious to commerce, ruinous to the manufacturer, tend to the misery and degrada tion of the working cla ses, and are delusive as to the benefits which they affect to confer, even on the agricultural classes themselves. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS, Ma.!/ 18 . ROYAL ASSENTS. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to-day to the Exchequer Bills (11,000,0000 Bill, Excise, Collec tion, and Management Bill, Slave Compensation Bill, Lease and Release Bill, Banking Copartnerships" Bill, Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill, Dublin Wide-streets (No. 2) Bill, Sir Walter Scott's Monument Bill, Northern and Eastern Railway - Bill, Manchester and Leeds Railway Bill, West Durham Railway Bill, Liverpool Docks Bill, Accrington Church Bill, Liverpool Gas Bill, Clifton Bridge Bill, Plymouth and Exeter Road Bill, Plymouth Eastern Roads Bill, Slough and Colnbrooke Road Bill, Coventry and Warwick Road Bill, Harborough and Brampton Road Bill, Winwick Rectory Bill, Bury (Sussex) Inclo sure Bill, Waningore Inclosure Bill, Eccleshall Inclosure Bill, Uplyme Inclosure Bill, Gamlingay Inclosure Bill. The Commi ss i oners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. Baron Hastings (Sir Jacob Astley) took the oaths, and his seat. Lord PORTMAN presented several petitions from Bath, Norton-Phillips, Chippenham, and various other places, against Church -rates and Ecclesiastical Courts. The Earl of YABBOROUGII presented petitions from the Isle of Wight and from a place in Worcester tershire, against any alteration of the Corn-laws. The Earl of HARROWBY presented petitions from Lancashire and Cheshire, for Church Extension, and against Sunday traffic on canals. Petitions for the abolition of the Metropolitan Bridge Tolls were presented by Lord REDESDALE and Lord WROTTESLEY. Lord STRADBROKE presented a great number of petitions against any alteration of the Corn-laws. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented petitions to the same effect from Wantage. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a similar petition from Montrose. The Marco& of BREAIAI BANE, in presenting a petition in favour of the Ministerial propositions relat ing to the import duties on timber, sugar, and corn, said that he entirely concurred in the prayer of the petition, and he only regretted that Ministers had not sooner un dertaken to carry such sound and wise principles of commercial policy into effect. Petitions against the alteration of the Corn-laws, and for the exclusion of Catholics from Parliament, were presented by the Earl of Winchilsea. On the motion of the Earl of DEVON the Criminal Justice Quarter Sessions Bill was read a third time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions from the electors of the borough of Southwark, and from the inhabitants of the parish of St. Saviour, in that borough, praying their Lordships to accede to the Government propositions as to the duties on sugar, timber, and corn, until Parliament should adopt the only just mode of taxation—a property tax. The Noble Earl presented several other petitions in fa vour of the measures, from places in York and in the Isle of Ely. On the motion of Lord DENMAN, the Frivolous Suits Bill was read a third time and passed. In reply to an observation from the' Earl of HAD DINGTON, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that the Govan and Polloc Railway Bill had been thrown out. On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE, their Lord ships then adjourned to Monday. ~~ year, but the rest of the paper plainly showed that this must be misprint, and that it ought to have been that the supply would be sufficient. He should not have noticed this had not the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite made that mis-statement the foundation of his argument last evening. Under these circumstances he would ask the Hon. Gentleman opposite if in the original document the West India agents had not stated that there would be an adequate supply of sugar during the next year ? Mr. VERON SMITH said it certainly was a misprint, which was, however, owing to no inadvertence on the part of the Colonial-office. A similar return had been printed for the House of Lords, which was correctly printed, and as the printer had printed the return f or that House f rom th e return ordered for the House of Lords, it had not been sent to the Colonial-office for cor rection, and hence the error had arisen. = (Cheers.) Sir CHARLES GREY had understood from the do cument printed for the use of the Members of that House that the supply would not be adequate. At the same time he must confess that from the context of the docu ment, the reading had appeared to him to be rather am biguous.—(" Hear," and laughter from the Opposition.) It seemed to him upon reflection that the West India agents might be speaking with reference only to the West Indies. It was notorious that the supplies from the West Indies would be sufficient. In answer to a question put from Mr. Wal ter, we understood Lord JOHN RUSSELL to say that the New Poor-law Bill would not come on for dis cussion to-morrow. Lord MORPETII presented several petitions for the • repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord HOWICK presented a petition from Northum berland to the same effect. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from a place near Whitehead praying for an alteration in the Corn laws ; also from Workington to the same effect. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON presented several petitions` from Irelan, against any alteration i n th e C orn -l aws . Mr. HINDLEY' presented ten petitions from Ashton under-Lyne in favour of a 'repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. D'ISRAELI presented a petition from Maidstone against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. B. WALL presented a petition from Guildford in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. Resolved, That this Court, continuing to be impressed with the magnitude of the evils flowing from the present state of the Coen-laws, and fully convinced of the large remedy that would be afforded by reducing the duty to a fixed amount, do again petition both Houses of Parliament to substitute a moderate fixed duty for the existing graduated scale.

General JOHNSON presented a petition from Old ham for a repeal of the Corn-laws. ' ADJOURNED DEBATE. The Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate having been read, Mr. SHIEL rose and said the department with which he had the honour to be connected afforded him some justification, perhaps, if he ventured to take part in a de bate which he felt had been protracted beyond the ordi nary period of their deliberations, but not a period in commensurate with the importance the incal culable importance—of the subject. He should be prepared not to trespass at any inappropriate length upon the indulgence of those by whom he was sur rounded, or the forbearance of those to whom he was opposed. He should confine himself in a great measure to the resolution before the House. He should not follow the example of those who wandered away from it, and indulged in discussions of a somewhat mys terious nature. He should in the first instance apply himself to that branch of the question in which England—virtuous and humane England— felt a deep and most honourable concern.—(Hear, hear.) If to the progress of the slave trade, by any differential duties between foreign and colonial sugar, an effectual impediment were to be imposed—if, not withstanding an exorbitant differential duty, •the slave-trade were not successful to an extent which, it had been justly observed by his Right Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets cast upon Chris tian Europe a deep stain—if to slave grown sugar every port upon the Continent was not widely and indiscriminately thrown open—if they were not themselves the importers of slave-grown produce—if. with slave produce in many forms, their own markets were not literally glutted—if they were not the importers, the refiners, and the ex porters of slave-grown sugar to the Continent, and even to their own colonial possessions to an enormous extent, then he was free to confess that with respect to the propriety of making a reduction in the differential duties it could not for a moment be supposed that, for the interests of humanity, as well as for the protec tion of their own colonies, he should not be dis posed to entertain such a question.—(Hear, hear.) But when he considered that in checking the progress of the slave trade the differential duty had been utterly without avail, when he found that the differential duty was, without casting any, the slightest impediment, upon that" most barbarous traffic—that it had the ' effect of impairing the national resources of the country, and, by enhancing the cost of some of the necessaries of life, of imposing on the humbler classes of the community a grievous change,—when he found that that differential duty had not contributed to the advan tage of any one large portion of the community, with the exception (they would forgive him for so saying) of some benevolent monopolist—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches)—whose sensibilities were not unprompted by the pockets—(Laughter from the Ministerial Benches) — and who, to the emotions of what he would venture to call their interested philanthropy, found it a convenient or easy course whenever a purpose, personal or political, was to be promoted—when he took those various considerations into account, he owned he was at a loss to consider the sound motives that existed for giving a continued sustainment to a system fraught with multifarious evils, or of supporting the resolution of the Noble Lord. His Hon. Friend the Member for Finsbury (Mr. T. Duncombe) had spoken of the resolu tion of the Noble Lord in terms harsher than it deserved. He said that the resolution was marked by duplicity and hypocrisy. He (Mr. Sheil) could not coincide with his Hon. Friend, in so far censuring that resolution. But he. thought one might venture to say that that resolution was conceived in a spirit of par tisanship. He (Mr. Sheil) could not refrain from ex pressing his surprise that the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the Tower Hamlets (Dr. Lushington) should have considered it consistent with his unaffected abhorrence of slavery—if his abhorrence was unaffected —(Ministerial cheers)—to give his support to the Noble Lord's resolution. It did not require the forensic and judicial sagacity of his Right Hon. Friend, for after all it did not profess to contain any pledge against the in troduction of slave-grown sugar. It provided a ready re treat to the rear ; he should rather call them the novel associates of his Right Honourable Friend from the high ground of humanity which they had so opportunely taken. And why ? The House of Commons was not prepared —no, was not yet pre pared—(Ministerial cheers)—to sanction the introduc tion of slave-grown sugar, to give somewhat of ' an intimation that under their (the Conservative's) happier auspices—(Ministerial cheers)—through that prepara tory process, a more accommodating House of Commons might be prevailed upon to pass a similar Bill, to that objected to by the party opposite.—c Loud cheers.) But again, if doubts could be entertained as to the effect and the object of the resolution, those doubts would be entirely removed by the speech, the frank and candid speech, of the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, who had again and again, with a studied reiteration, declared that for the present a great experiment ought not to be interfered with. But how little in accordance with the resolution, so dexterously, so carefully—he would not say craftily—framed was the frank, in genious, and in the cause of virtue, so ardent and impassioned character of his (Mr, Sheil's) Right Hon. Friend the Member for Tower Hamlets, who, if he were resent, would surely forgive him (Mr. Sheil) if he 'ventured to insinuate that in supporting a resolution so couched he was almost as inconsistent as certain incongruous sentimentalists, who would not allow of the use of slave labour in a saccharine form, while they in other ways promiscuously and unscrupulously consumed it. He would pass from the resolution to the great anomalies by which our commer cial system was distinguished. In the year 1840 we im ported upwards of twenty-eight millions pounds of cfffee, and of that great quantity upwards of fourteen millions pounds were the growth of slave labour. The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire had observed that our colonial possessions were inade quate to the supply of coffee for the British market ; but surely if the encouragement of slave labour was not to depend on considerations of mercantile convenience it was not from the pric,e-current their morality was to be estimated.—(Hear.) When the duty on coffee —and he begged the attention of the House to the fact-- when the duty on coffee was Is. 7d. per lb., the colonies were adequate to the supply of coffee for our consumption, but so soon as the duty was reduced, the colonies were no longer adequate for that purpose. It was worth while to look into the details of the question of coffee. In the year 1807 the duty was is. 7d. per lb., and the quantity imported was 1,170,164 lbs., while the revenue was only 161,245/. Now mark what followed. In the year 1812 the duty was reduced to 7d. and the quantity of coffee consumed rose to upwards of 8,000,0001b5. In the year 1831 the duty was reduced to 6d., and the con sumption rose to 21,842,0001b5. For the year 1840 the consumption rose to 2 8,000,7231b5., and the revenue rose to to the sum of 9 22,000/.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") These facts appeared to him illustrative of many things. The Noble Lord would remember that when the duty was high the colonies were depressed, but the moment the duty was reduced they became flourishing. Out of 28,000,000, fourteen millions of pounds were the growth of the Brazils. Now this was a great inconsistency, but really he must say, that it was nothing when compared with another, namely, the anomaly of our receiv ing, refining, and importing slave-grown sugar to an enormous an n was imported upwards of 800,000 cwts. of slave-frown sugar which was refined and ex pi.rted. Was any duty levied on it that it might contriAute to the revamp of the country ? Not a single sixpence was upon it. How absurd, then, to exclude it from the home market when n duty Admission.

And not only was no duty levied, but all the expense incidental to the bonded system was incurred. This was a great contradiction, to which he imagined it would be difficult to find a greater.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the Noble Lord the Member for South Lancashire (Lord F. Egerton), with all his powerful imagination, would be unable to reconcile it. Perhaps the Hon. Member for • Newcastle and the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, would volunteer a defence of this monopoly. The admirable perspicacity of the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire, had attempted to do so, under the influence of feelings of partizanship, from which none of them were exempt, and of which his last speech afforded a remarkable instance.—(Hear, hear, hear.> Many of these topics had been treated so ably by those who preceded him, that he felt he was relieved from the difficulty of attempting to follow the Noble Lord, but there was one point to which he would take the liberiy of adverting— (Hear, hear)— because it was a question of fact, on which, though he might shrink from argument, he might, perhaps, venture to follow the Noble Lord. The Noble Lord had adverted to a communication which he had held with Mr. Huskisson, and he (Mr. Sheil) confessed that he had heard the statement which the Noble Lord had made respecting the opinions of his illustrious prede cessor, if not his master, with some degree of surprise. Mr. Huskisson made two remarkable speeches in March 1830,and he foundin them language which he had not heard in the many quotations which had been lately made from the speeches of that illustrious man—(Hear, hear) —and he quoted this language, not for the purpose solely of influencing the House; but that the pub lic might know what were the real opinions of that man Who stood in the foremost ground amongst the philoso phers of his day. The first passage was to be found in p. 541 of Hansard's Debates. He was describing the difficulties of the country at the dine he said, " It is the greatest - folly to shut our ey4irf,' difficulties, which, if taken in time, may be overcome, but which by procrastination cannot be evaded for a long dme."—(Cheers.) " This is the greatest manufacturing and commercial nation in the world. The raw material of our soil which we export is next to nothing. In fact, we do not raise sufficient for the support of oifr 'own population without the assistance of other nations."—(Loud cheers.) " The Corn-laws, however necessary in the present state of the country are a burthen—(Leud cheers)—they press upon the manufacturing producers, and exclude them from the markets of other parts of the world, and limit their supply of food ; and I consider Sugar as, well as corn an ar ticle of food."( Cheers.) These (said Mr. Sheil) were the words of Mr. Huskisson. In p. 576 of the same volume he said that if the relief required by the industrious classes were afforded them they would be disposed to take more of the produce of the soil. But there was a remark more important still which he made on the 25th of March, on the motion of Mr. Poulett Thom son it would be found in page 555 of Hansard. He said on that occasion that it was always his conviction that the Corn-laws 'now in existence could not much longer be upheld—(Cheering)—consistently with bearing the present taxation and increasing the national prosperity and maintaining public content —(Cheers.) Neither had he (Mr. Huskisson), any doubt that they could be altered without injury to the • landed interest, but with great increase to the comforts of the people. Compare these opinions with the representations made by his distinguished pupil a few nights ago!—(Hear, hear.) These were the opinions of Mr. Huskisson in 1830, when he left the party with which the Noble Lord, his disciple, was now united. He would pass now to the claims of the West Indians. In a speech made on the 11th of February last, in the island of Trinidad, by a gentleman who held a high position (Mr. Bensley), that gentleman, at a meeting of agriculturists, after speaking of the right of the West Indians to be disenthralled from all restrictions upon their trade, said he would hail with pleasure the day when every monopoly and restriction could, advantageously for the rest of the public, be done away; that now that emancipation had been effected, the agriculturists of Trinidad would be able to compete with those of any part of the world. He (Mr. Sheil) saw many West Indians on the other side of the House. His chief complaint against them was that they did not fairly state their hardships. Their case was that we had emancipated the slaves in 1833, and a part of the compensation was a continuance of the duties. The case against them was this, "We effected a ransom, the very thought of which dazzles their imagination,and we elaim a receipt in full."—(Cheers.) But the Noble Lord who brought in the Bill has de clared that he did not state it as any part of his contract that the duties should be continued. He had watched the speech of the Noble Lord, who had stated himself to have been the organ of the Whig Government . in. carrying the great measure of slave emancipation, and no sentence had he uttered, in no part of his speech could the slightest intimation be found, that he had considered the continuance of the monopoly as a part of the contract.—(Loud cheers.) The Honourable Member for Newark had said it was. Now whose authority were they to take ?—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member for Newark had told them, with his usual frankness, that the people of England, since 1833, had paid ten millions to the est Indians in con sequence of the monopoly.—(Che.) The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire had not adverted to that.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord had thought when he first proposed the measure of emancipation that a loan of fifteen millions would be a sufficientremuneration to the West India interests, he who was now contending ih; the monopoly ought not to be destroyed—(Cheers.) But in a fit of unexampled generosity, a generosity, too, be it observed, at the expense of the people—{Cheers and laughter)—he had all at once converted the loan of fifteeen millions into gift of twenty millions—(Cheers)—and that without rhyme or reason.—(Cheers.) Perhaps he was right in doing so, but he had not said one word about the monopoly being continued as part of the contract. The Hon. Member for Newark had fairly admitted that, since 1833, the West Indians had received ten millions in consequence of the monopoly, but he (Mr. Sheil) could show that they had received a great deal more. He had asked his Hon: Friend Mr. M‘Gregor if the Hon. Member for Newark was right in his calculation, and Mr. M'Gre gor had said he was not, and that the West Indians had received a great deal more, and, at his request, Mr. M'Gregor had drawn up a table, from which it appeared that the West Indians had received 19,243,4651. instead of ten millions, in consequence of th e monopoly.—(Hear, hear, from Sir A. Grant.) The Hon. Member for Cambridge cried " Hear, hear," and appeared surprised at the amount of benefit which h a d b een con- fer;ed on the West Indians. He was evidently not aware of it. But the Hon Member for Newark knew better —(Hear, and cheers)—and if he stated ten millions as a profit derived from the monopoly, what reason was there why • the Board of Trade should not EVEN I go further ? Thy the Board of Trade had - sshown; that the ten millions ought to have been twenty. They had as much right do so as the Noble Lord had to convert a loan of fifteen millions into a gift of twenty. He would read the table to the House if they wished it, although he was aware that, abhorring as they did all vul gar things, they abhorred that vulgar thing arithmetic the most of any.—(Cheers and laughter.) In 1834 the quantity of sugar consumed was 4,154,4111b5., which at 6s. 2d., which was the premiums given to the West In dians, amounted to 1,280,9431. In 1840 the quantity amounted 3,764,7101b5, whieh, with the differential duty of 11. Is. 7d. gave to the West Indians an advantage of 5,192,0001.—(Cheer5.) Now the Hon. Member for New ark might be wrong, or the Board of Trade might be wrong, but when that Hon. Member admitted that they had received ten millions, he ought not to be so incre dulous when he (Mr. Shell) produced his figures in sup port of the calculations of the Board of Trade. Sup posing a continuance of the monopoly was part of the contract—he was glad to see his Hon. Friend the Mem- no masitifttetures - at present existed. , To those eiirkete the eyes of evefy British statettuan ought to be turned, and, above all, to the great and expanding empire of the Brazils.—(Loud cheers.) fle was astonished that any man speaking the language of their commercial policy, should contest such principles. He slid not think the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool before his consti tuents wouli use such language. He did not think that the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool would venture to ineinuate that the renewal of the treaty with the Brazils on favourable terme was a matter of-no aceount.—(Heer) --"-orlf he did, god if from the hustings he looked down at the harbour of the noble city which ,he had the ho nour of representing, the numberless sails which winged their Way to that part of the western world, would show the fallacy of his assertions.—(Loud cheers.) Was it net plain that if the Parliament of England was unpre- -• pared to take the produce of the Brazils, the Parliament of the Brazils would be unprepared to take the produce of England ; and, independently of these considerations, without reference to the slave trade, was it not obvious' that they might be able to accomplish Much more by ne gotiation and treaty than by any fiscal regulation ? Events proved that the experiment made for the sup pression of the slave trade had hitherto been worthless or unworthy ; and lie hoped he might be permitted to say, that when England stood forward as the champion of humanity, it was not from Custom-house regulations that her arms ought to he supplied.---(Hear, hear.) Despite their financial regulations, the slave trade was still in famously prosperous—despite their differential duties, that monstrous system still consumed its victims, and there was scarcely a recess on the slave coast in which barges engaged in that atrocious commerce did not lie in wait for captives ; and even on that ocean which English men were accustomed to regard as their own--even ors that ocean, not inaptly called their " home upon the deep," bow many a slave traversed to the scenes of his captivity. Why, then, with that painful experience be fore them of the utter futility of all the expedients to which they had resorted, not call upon the people of England to put down that mighty evil by the only effi cacious means which could be adopted ? They had heard Hon. Members expatiating on the advantages of colonial interest, and discussing duties of 635., 325., or 245., while they propounded resolutions for sustaining a system of mo - nopoly by which, and they knew it, the slave-trade had not been put down, but by which the revenues of the coun try were impaired, by which the fiscal difficulties of every Ministry, whether Whin. or Tory, had increased—by which the price of one of the necessaries of life—by which industry was affected and the employment of the people curtailed—by which the continuance of our com mercial relations with the rest of the world was endan gered, and by which a field of boundless enterprise WAS closed to the British people.--(Loud cheers.) Mr. HERRIES said that considering that the discus sion of the present question had lasted for so long . a period that even the House itself was not more wearied of its continuance than the country at laree—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition side of the House)—which looked fer something more from the House than long protracted debates—which looked fur decisions rather than ex tended conversations ; he therefore would not on the present occasion have troubled the House, if he had not thought it necessary to make a few observations on the course he was about to adopt.. He seldom asked for the indulgence of the House, and when he did, he endea voured to occupy. its attention as short a time aspossible. There was another reason why he thought it necessary to shorten his observations as much as possible, and that was the admirable manner in which the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire (Lord Stanley) had em braced in his speech almost every point which had beers advanced on the other side, and replied to each of those points in a manner that defied all the arguments of Hon. Gentlemen opposite. There were, however, some points to which his Noble Friend did not advert, and to which he (Mr. 'lorries) wished to draw the attention of the House, and those points related to the. origin as well as the nature of the present question. The origin of that question was our present financial emergencies ; and it was for Honourable Members in the first place to examine into those emergencies which required the application of such remedies as were pro posed, and next to see how far those remedies were calculated to effect the object for which they were in tended. The reason given by the Government for the proposal of those measures was, that the public finances were in a most deplorable condition. It was admitted. that after five years of increasing embarrassment they had at length got to a dead-lock.--(Hear, hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer had been reminded, in the course of that debate, that, in adverting to the prin ciples of Mr. Huskisson, he had forgotten to observe that that Right Hon. Gentleman always maintained the ne cessity of keeping our finances in order and maintaining a surplus revenu e . Th e H on . G ent l eman oppos i te h a d almost challenged a comparison between his own admi nistration and that of any preceding Chancellor of the Exchequer, and had treated it as a matter of absurdity , that any other Chancellor of the Exchequer could have acted different to himself. But it was an im portant fact, that this administration was the first in history which in a time of peace had suffered a continued deficiency to exist in the finance of this country.—(Hear, hear , hear.) He was as t on i s h e d that the Hon. Gentleman had not shrunk from the retro spect. In time of .war there were extraordinary con tingencies to be met, but the deficiency in this instance was widely different from any which had existed under any former administration ? He (Mr. Herries) would. call the attention of the House to the history of our finances .at antecedent periods. Between the years 1816 and 1828, when that subject was brought under the consideration of the Finance Committee, it appeared that the surplus arising from the - public monies and applied to the reduction of the public debt, in those twelve years was 3,190,000/. In the three years which followed, 1828, 1829, and 1830, when the finances were under the administration of his Hon. Friend the Member for Cambridge,, there was a surplus of ten millions. Under the administration of Earl Spencer arid of Lord Monteagle there was a surplus of 6,700,0001. — (Hear, hear,) That carried them up to the commence ment of the present administration. He would mention that, in one year, when there had been a slight deficiency, Lord Althorp greatly deplored the circumstance, and provided for it in the subsequent year. Then o came a time of commercial difficulty, an d he must say without an apology.—(Hear, hear.) There was a deficiency of some millions under the present ad ministration. The greatest shifts had in consequence been resorted to, and amongst other things the Savings' Banks had been encroached upon--(Hear, hear)—with the simple statement, that as the power was possessed, though evidently not intended to be exercised, the Hon. Gentleman would use it. The blame rested not with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 'but with the whole Go vernment. He charged that Government with most unjust and flagrant administration of the finances ; the result of it was a great national calamity. The cause of the defi ciency must be obvious to every one. It was the result of a system of compromise, of attempts to obtain that support without which the Government could not exist. For example, a deficiency of 1,700,0001. was entirely owing to the alteration in the Post-office.---(Hear.) But for that measure there would have been scarcely any deficiency.—(Hear, hear.) To meet these difficul ties they were called upon to go into Committee on three measures • and these measures were •proposed 'upon two grounds, first as measures of finance ; and secondly. as introducing some new and beneficial principle in com mercial policy. With respect to the alteration in sugar and corn, undoubtedly the principle was that they should admit into the consumption of this eountry, a certain por tion of the produce of other countriea, so as to displace a. part of the native produce used for hene consumption. Timber and sugar, at least, were singuisrly ill chosen for the reduction. The Noble Lord oppoeite had ac knowledged that he had received an intimation from the Governor of Canada, stating that the measure would em- • barress him in settling the Canadian Gol'erriment. If that were so, it was a sufficient reason for rejecting it. 'But . the question they were called upon then to decide was that of sugar.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The objection taken, and properly taken, as to going' into Committee at all, appeared to him of such import-' ante, that he, for one, was convinced of the validity . of the objection, and was prepared to give a vote a gainst going into Committee. The objection on principle was this, that they were about to make a change of those duties, whereby they would either do nothing, o r admit: into the •consumption of this country the produce of another. He thought, if the present proposition was carried into effect, it would put to' hazard the great ex periments which had been set on foot in the emancipa tion of the slaves. Upon this point the House laadabtlee ceived so much testimony from those who were s to s u bj give eet t at a h n a y t l i e t n l g v t a h s , t b in u n t e i c le eszy ld f n o o r and pressing upon the House some of the m grounds which made it the duty of the any measure House to abstain from adopting thrimefrtaoilelnfrteotrulfionsrcttao‘tiihtniligese: description of the one now state of the case with respect to the test India slaves'Colo was ?

That testimony had been adverted to by the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, and, as he considered it well worthy the atten tion of the House, he would read it. The Right Hon. Gentleman then read the opinion of Mr. Gurney, which was favourable to the maintenance of prohibitory duties on foreign grown sug ar, while, at the i ganie time, he ad mitted that th e hig h prices of that' commodity was a great detriment to the people of this country. The Right Hon. Gentleman also read the opinion of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, which was to the - same effect. These were the fundamental grounds of objec tion upon which lie felt disposed to object to this mea sure. He thought the proposition that had emanated from her Majesty's Ministers was ill placed at a time like the preset when they had su c h p r ospects in the West Indian conlonies. He thought that the chalice of the noble experiment, to which he had alluded: being successful, was a sufficient ground to induce the Houle to pause before it sanctioned going into Committee upon the propositions that had been s u b m it te d t o , if by th e Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Cherwell:sr of the Excbequer bawl said that it was pi-el-Able that the West Wiz; coloniert cotultry would Rodute mory thn ber for Beverley, — who was an East India Director, in his place—(Laughter)----supposing a continuance of the monopoly was part of the contract, what would the East Indians say ?—(Cheers.) When the equalization of the duties on East and West India sugar was under dis cussion, he recollected the eloquence of his Hon. Friend. It was then stated that the West India sugar was the produce of slave-labour, while the East India sugar was the produce of dates. He recollected the scorn with which his Hon. Friend the Member for Beverley treated the proposition. But now that they had got the privileges themselves, now that they were embraced in the monopoly, they turned round and formed a confederacy with the West India proprietors, and expa tiated upon maintaining colonial produce. They thought little of the enormous sacrifice he had proved to them had taken place.—(Hear.) The resolutions spoke of sacrifices, and the resolution of the Noble Lord, the Member for Liverpool, spoke of sacrifices also. When the recruiting of the revenue was the subject to be con sidered, then it was that endeavours were made to keep up iii position, such conduct would be a proceeding far greater than reducing the price upon sugar, by which means it would be brought into consumption, and thereby increase the revenue. If, from a reduction of the duty on coffee, such consequences followed as he had adverted to, did it not follow that the reduction on sugar, which was an ingredient so much used in coffee, the same results would follow. And mark ! independently of the great advantages they conferred upon the great mass of community, they, in the first place, cheapened one of the first necessaries of life, and in the next place, it was obvious that if they took more of the produce of other countries, other coun tries would take more of the produce of theirs. Thus the manufactures of the country had extended, and to that extent the operatives must be relieved.—(Cheers.) He had heard with great pain the description given by his Hon. Friend the Member for Finsbury of the state of the operatives of the country. To their sufferings Hon. Members opposite were everywhere, he hoped, at the hustings, lie was sure, most deeply alive,—(Hear, and a laugh)—but when the means of alleviation—the obvious means of alleviation —were offered to them— (Loud cheers) —they sacrificed the interests of those classes for whom so much commiseration was expres se d , and he was willing to believe that if they continued to adhere to their new system of commercial policy, consequences the most. disastrous and serious must be entailed upon that country.—(Hear, and cheers.) They were met upon the Continent by prohibitory tariffs, and no wonder.

NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.--A new at venturer in the field of historical fiction is about to present his first essay to the public under the title of "The Trustee." But though new in this particular department of literature, the writer has already greatly distinguished himself in the line of the drama. He is the author of the tragedy of " The Provost of Bruges," which appeared two or three years ago, and ?net with ye; y great !uccess. It is reported, on very high literary authority, that this new novel is one of striking originality and intense interest. The period the author has chosen to illus trate is the age of henry VIII, , daring the progress of that important Reformation which made such vast and vital changes in society. A eeriod that affords more abundant scope for the effective exercise of the imagination could not have been selected, and this additiou to our literary stores may therefore be looked for with much interest.
