I.E DRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEZ T" ' " , the Mouth, there is none Among the various disorders more destructive than Scurvy, which on 17::t entering the Gums asses them to bleed on the most trifling occa.7i"', and pro- Atices the most offensive and frequently putrid htleath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the nt.7 4 " of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known this .the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasien could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their ewn account : or if they are too de based to procure their own" comfort and cleanliness by employ tog a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the lenses of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and the :smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion to the di.gust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance'. Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums. \very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? .And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness 49 f the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same Wise ? The ineonveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex eerienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en dured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are llost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the 'stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, 'the patient is exposed to the most distressing indigestions, the attsicsach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth , iire gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions 'every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so ess en ti a l, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not *obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends ...Id associates. Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it 4 3e duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on - molterly. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vouit debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rou:th and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and. in a word. it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation nf the whole system, which produces an irritable , emper, quite foretgn to tl'e natural disposition, whereby we become an an noyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at the Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford 'street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural toe'', and may be used with every comfort. They :are so arranged as to restore the lace to its former youthful .cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan pre-eminent. No regularity of fea.ures, no brilliancy of orn plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can .ender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips .( though they be of coral), discloses a -set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the bread), which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will savariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter, , are en ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per- Isom %she, do not liossess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming a repulsive one. ' Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon •Dentist, 60, Newman -street, tOxford-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty Eng'and, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance be is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain; it is placed into she cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, =wresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute 'the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly of awed persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, disease of the gums, or any other cause.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec twos, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the cg dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA'rTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The Derby betting yesterday was confined to a selec t few, and without being. teavy, was marked by some impor tant fluctuations :—Nalph and Coronation were gnoted at slightly improved prices, and in the early part of the afternoon were in general request ; Scott's . horses, however, and two or three others, were afterwards so strongly supported that their friends " fought shy," and during the last hour they were very seldom men tioned. Scott's two favorites were in great force, 7to 1 about Van Amburgh, 10 and 11 to 1 about Marshal Soult, and 7 to 2 about the lot having been taken to a large amount ; some thousands were also laid even be tween Van Amburgh and Coronation. Galaor, Belgrade, and Ermangardis moved upwards, and had strong par ties ; on the other hand, Prince Caradoc receded eight points, and from the feeling shown it is reasonable to surmise that there is a screw loose. Sir Hans also gave way, and Mongolian was put altogether on the retired list. The only Oaks bets we heard were 6 to 1 each against Lampoon, Ghuznee, and Ermangardis in one bet (to 50 each), 12 to 1 to a small sum against Colonel Wynd ham's Norna Creina, and 500 even on her against Mr. Treen's Una (Adela filly),; Potentia was reported to be " coughing."

LONDON UNIVERSITY EXAMI- NERS. We are quite at a loss to understand the principle on which the office.beaters of the London University are,elected, Last year Dr. Tweedie was set aside, without any one knowing why, and Dr. Watson elected in his place. This year the former is re placed again, and the latter discharged, quite as unexpectedly as is the former case! The impression naturally produced under ordi nary circumstances would bo that the party set aside had, in some way or other, been found unfit ; but the chopping and chang ing which this season has produced,'shows that some other and to. tally ebffrrent considerations have been at work. Amongst those elected examiners oh the Bth of last month was Dr. Ferguson, of King's College ; but he, staggered by the omission of Dr. Watson's name from the list, has tendered his resignation, as appears by the following letter:— , . • " 9, Queen-street, May Fair, 16th April. 1841. " My Lord,—As liesidest of the Senate of the University of London, permit me to tender to your Lordship my resignation of the office of Examiner in Midwifery, to which 1 had the honour of being appointed on the Sth instant. " The fact made apparent at the late election, that a faithful and efficient discharge of the duties of an office may nevertheless be fjhowed by dismissal, has competed me to withdraw myself from a pn.itinn which, though honourable in itself, may entail on me also eimplied censure of a rejection. " I need not assure your Lordship, that could I have foreseen heresuits to which I have alluded, 1 should have at once declined the otter of those friends who did me the honour of requesting me co serve as an Examiner. And I have only now delayed tendering my res•goation a few days, that I might avoid the imputation of a hasty decision in so Important a matter, or the slightest appearance of disc expect towards that body of gentlemen over whom your Lord. ship p. esides. " I am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, " ROBERT FERGUSON, M.D." Th-se occurrences will render most persons—at least ' those who are fit for the appointments rn question—rather chary about occept log them.—Medical Gazette.

The Earl of ROSEBERRY rose for the purpose of moving for certain returns with a view of showing the operation of the existing Corn-laws. It had been stated by certain Noble Lords that the present duty was merely for the purpose of regulation, and its operation had been contrasted, he thought, invidiously with - the opera tion of a fixed duty. Great misapprehension appeared to exist on the subject of the operation of the pre sent Corn-laws. It had been stated that they imposed no tax on food, while the fixed duty on corn, which had been proposed in another House, had been stigmatised as imposing a tax on the food of the people. For the purpose of affording information on this important subject, he moved that there be laid before the House an• account of the quantity of wheat and other grain imported into the United Kingdom and entered for home consumption during the years 1838, 1839, and 1840, with the amount of duty paid thereon in each year respectively. Earl FITZWILLIAM considered the returns moved for by his Noble Friend as of great importance, and cal culated to do away with great misapprehension. ' Great delusions existed on the subject among both parties, but more particularly did those delusions exist among that, which, for want of a better name, had been designated the agricultural party. If any Noble Lord was then pre sent who had been present on Friday last, he would recol lect that he (Earl Fitzwilliam) had expressed his opinion that the ,tenants who were: now paying a fair rent as de duced from the averages of the last tell, fifteen, or twenty years, would be able fairly to pay an equal rent during the same term now commencing, under the operation of a fixed duty, as proposed in the other House of Parlia ment, Since that period he had endeavoured to procure fads in support of his opinion, from a consideration of the averages during the period he had mentioned. He had been unable to procure the averages for the last two years ; but. from the year 1820 to the year 1838 the average of the averages had amounted to 56s 4d ; and supposing during the last two years the average to amount to 70s, which he considered would turn out to be about the trnth, it would make but a small 'addition to the amount he had mentioned. The effect pro duced by the existing Corn-laws was very.:singular ; because while during a time of distress and scarcity they raised the price of corn considerably, during - a time of abundance they depressed the prices in an equal degree, thus inflicting a positive evil upon the fanner, and forcing him, during those seasons, to accept of a lower price than he would otherwise be enabled to procure. They afforded another example of the in ability of human ingenuity to adapt, a priori, a plan to circumstances which it was impossible for human foresight to foresee. He • had said that under the proposed system the tenant would be able to pay as good a rent for the next 20 years as he had fairly been able to pay under the old law. By far the greater part of the lands of England are held by tenants at will, and the landlords take the. time which is most favourable to them for fixing their rents ; and the object of the Corn-laws was to persuade the ten ants that they should have as high an average of prices as that of the period in which the rent was fixed. The law, he conceived, had been mischievous to all parties, but • most particularly so as to the occupying tenant. Lord BEAUMONT deprecated the incidental discus sion of so important a measure, upon the presentation of petitions. He denied that this was a question between the landowners and the community at large. " - The Noble Earl (Fitzwilliam) forgot that there were a great num ber of landowners who lived on and cultivated their own lands, which they would not do, if the price of wheat was lower than fifty-five shillings a quarter. The effect of the proposed alteration of the • Corn-laws would be to throw out of cultivation all the poorer soils, upon which the proprietors had expended large capital, on the faith that the existing protection would be con tinued.—(Hear.) That would lead to the ruin of many, and would drive vast numbers of the agriculturists now employed on those lands into the towns, where they would increase the competition amongst the manufacturing opera tives, whose wages would be at once lowered by the operation of the Bill, even without such additional com petition. Lord ASHBURTON said that the precise object of the Corn-laws was to give a general average price of 555. or 56s.—never under that, and never above 60s. If they had had that effect, the object of those who had introduced them had been attained. Such had actually been the result, • except only in two years, in one of which the price fell below that ave rage, and in the 'other rose above it in consequence of the season. He denied that any large portion of the landowners of England were guilty of tricking. and trap ping their tenants in the way which the Noble Earl op posite supposed. The Earl of RADNOR concurred in what had fallen produced f fl a u l c l o ti t a h t i e o r n s n il e t i h e e a st price iab o l e f from his Noble Friend below him (Earl Fitzwilliam). ' c r o hr enwhich Corn-laws m'as h t a l ( i l e to fluctuation of price in the natural state of things, Lord ASHBURTON explained. He had stated that in the course of the twenty-five years which had passed since those laws were enacted, the price had been re markably steady, except in the ten years to which he, had referred. Lord PORTA.IAN said that when the Noble Lord (Ashburton) . spoke. of a remark on the steadiness of price,' he seemed not to have looked into the returns, inriVhich it would be found that there had been first seven years of a n ascending scale, then seven years of a descending scale. Then there had been years of the ' ascending scale, and now we were in the commencement of the deseendino. scale. In the course of that time, wheat had risen to 905., and had stink below 40s.—(Hear, hear.) The average supply of wheat grown in England was not sufficient for the subsistence of the inhabitants. If his Noble Friend would compare the last census of the population with the number of acres that could be employed in the wheat cultivation, and the actual quantity of wheat grown in the average of years, he would see that we could not • do without the assistance of other countries, to supply our people with food.---(Hear, hear.) As we could not do without that assistance. we ought to take measures for securing it in the note and ad vantageous manlier, but he did think the pre , sent a fitting time for the discussion of those measures, The Earl of HAM)INGTON said that if the prOdlloe of England were not sufficient, the supply from Ireland and Scotland made up the deficiency,(Hear, hear) ; The Earl of RADNOR said that Scotland was not an exporting country Af corn ; On the contrary, a large quantity was impor4,4 thithey,--mear, bpar ; ) Ireland did export corn to this country, but for 'ln eight years in constantly diminishing, quantities,—(ltear.) The Earl of FITZWILLIAAI thouglit it .was 'most gratifying that Ireland was 3rA44411y ceasing to export corn.—(Dear, hear.) It ,11/P-§ Tost desirable that al the corn grown there should be c • 9113411 1 ea at hOme.---(Hear, 'hear.) The fact that the quantity exported froM Ireland had ben diminishing froni year to •year was evidence of the improving 49 iidition an 4 iPs a the people, The JAirl of WICKLOW quid contend that the sup ply of the United Kingdom Was sn . f6 c i e _i w for the sappy of the population, unless, indeed thp: 'Earl avOwed Mr. O'CONNELL presented two petitions from the timber merchants of Dublin, and the ship owners of Dublin, deprecating the proposed change of duties upon foreign timber.—(Tory cheers.) Also 25 petitions, praying for , a repeal of the Corn-laws. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. SHEIL presented a petition from the Association of Merchants of the City of London trading :into the Brazils. They state that they did not coincide with the political opinion of her Majesty's Ministers, but they highly approved of the measure for the reduction of the duties on foreign sugar. They thought a duty of 365. per cwt. would sufficiently protect the colonial interests, and secure the consumers from an excessive price— that the Brazilian Government had adopted several measures from the protection and improvement of the slaves, and they were convinced that the illicit introduc tion of slaves into the Brazils would not be arrested by any differential or protective duties. The petitioners prayed the House to accept the proposal of her Majesty's Government for the reduction of the duty on foreign sugar. Mr. E. TENNENT had a petition to present from a body who coincided with her Majesty's Government. It was from the East India Association of Glasgow, and they stated that, in their opinion the proposed reduction in the duties on foreign sugar would not realise the ex pectations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but be seriously injurious to the West India interest. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition signed by 27,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws, which they considered to be contrary to all moral, commercial, and political principles. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented eighteen petitions from different places, in favour of a repeal of the Corn laws. Petitions - ware also presented by Mr. Wilbraham, from Westbury ; by Mr. Easthope, from Blackfriars-road, Hounsditch, and the borough of Southwark ; by Mr. Grote, from various places ; and by Mr. Wood, from Kendal and Manchester, against the Corn-laws. Mr. BLACKBURN presented a petition from the county of Lancaster, in favour of the present system of Corn-laws. Sir E. BULLER, presented a petition from Chester, in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. Petitions, in favour of the Corn-laws, were presented by Mr. G. Palmer, from a parish in Essex, and Mr. Fellows. _ Petitions praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws were presented—Mr. Busfield, 7, from Bradford ; Mr. C. Wood, 10, from Halifax and neighbourhood ; Mr. Aglionby, 15, from Cumberland, many of them from agricultural districts, and six from metropolitan districts ; by Mr. Labouchere, from a public meeting at Liverpool, presided over by the Mayor ; by Mr. Gisborne, 12; and Mr. Hume, 20. Lord SANI)ON presented a petition from the grocers of Liverpool, praying that the duty on sugar should be further reduced to,3os.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. CHALMERS presented a petition from Mon trose, in favour of the reduction of the Sugar duties. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know from the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies whether he had re ceived any despatches relative to a murder, which it ap peared was committed by persons armed with muskets, who fired out on some individuals from an Orange lodge in Canada (as we understood). Lord J. RUSSELL made some reply, which was in audible in the gallery. Mr. O'CONNELL was desirous of knowing whether the Right llon. Gentleman the Secretary at War had received any communication from the East India Com pany with respect to the spiritual wants and instruction of Roman Catholic soldiers in India, and whether the Right Hon. Gentleman had any hopes of procuring a remedy for the evils complained of on this subject. , 1841. ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the Order of the Day for resuming the debate ad journed from Friday last being read, Mr. EWART rose and said that this question was looked upon by some as a subject of party struggle, and that the measures introduced by her Majesty's Govern ment were attributed, not to financial considerations, but to political motives. For his part, however, he felt that the people of this country would not enter into such questions, but that they would judge of the measures upon their own merits. They would merely ask whether the measures were conducive or not to the prosperity of the country ; he was sure, at least, that that was the only consideration which would have any weight in that great commercial district, which extended from Lancashire to Yorkshire. lie believed that the alteratiolls _ _ _ contemplated by the Government would be gladly hailed by the manufacturers of thin digtriet of the empire, and 414 they wQIII4 nut attend to any insinuations as to the motives of Ministers which might emanate from, the other side of the House. They would also inquire by what means Hon. Gentlemen would nieet the defi ciency in the revenue, wlikh they Wem the first to reprobate. He should like to know what they had to substitute for the measure before the House. Were they prepared to substite for it a tax upon property ? If not, he should like to know how they proposed to pay the interest on our enormous tinlft, Ar tO satisfy the commercial wants of the country ? The country expected to hear from theni, or from their leader, some statement of the mea sures by which they were prepared to meet the emer gency, and to protect din entry in a crisis they had so vividly elescrlhed, There was one circumstance in the course of the debate, which Hon. Members ho not adverted to, namely, that the Government had d rawn a clear distinction between sugitr, the prOduetion of slave by free labour, havi ng htbonr, nna-thert... prOdnoefl imposed upon th former a duty . of 42 5. , but on the latter a d u t y of only'36s. It was right to call the attention of th e country to this omission. H e (Mr, Ewart) had had the honour, with the ITon, Mehiher ibr Beverley, to god up,through many long debat e , aga i nst the sys tem of rest India monopoly, and in claiming the right of equal duties for the continent of India. Silitle that period a change had come over the N. 11114 of his Hon. Friend, who wits 119 W till liftifoit supporter of the mono polising ppoposition of the Noble Lord (Lord Sandon). TheYhad been assailed from the beginning of this debate with the constant cry of "protection," —a cry, ish opi nion, utterly at variance with the ißte.re.sts df the public, and which tlught nitt tp he l's:ils:Rded to by a majority of that thirty or forty years ago, a similar eXelamatiqn was raised On the part of the West Aim:Han interests, When it was proposed to, achuit tbreign c o tt on into the illailtets f i t great Tiritain t About the year 1784 Amer i eß n cqttpu almost unknown in thi s country and 4 w a s tf, Singular fact that the custom-home Aers of Liverpool refused to admit the first %To, of :cotton which came from the United *ftt.t.is, ft:WA an idea th4t in that country it c4ttki prcithlccd, }ad the attempt whicli was then nuyie. succeeded, where woUld'lme beep, that enlqsSal.fa.b*, the. cotton man u f ac t ure , at %ice the w onder and the entry wo, T i c i t ? ire . 93pealed to then? in hchttif chi c9lAslttilep of this countrl O. PRICE sd. extend to sugar . the same principle which, fortu nately for the interests of the country, had been applied to cotton, in the assuiiince that as in the one case it was for the interest of the country that the protection should be withdrawn from cotton, it was for the interest of the ..e.guntry, equally in principle if not in degree, that it should be withdrawn from sugar. The Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool, and those who thought with him on this sub ject had asked for further protection. How long was it meant that that protection should be extended ? He believed the longer an approximation towards an equality of duties was delayed the worse would it be for the interests of the country. If they continued to foster and pamper up these interests they would never be able to endure a wholesome exposure to commercial freedom. The longer they maintained those monopolies the less monopolists would be able to meet a vigorous opposition from commerce in other parts of the world. Not only did the West India interests seek to maintain their monopoly, but they were assailed also on the part of the West India interest. He earnestly hoped that as the commercial part of the country at least was resisting the continuance of the West Indian monopoly, that it would equally resist the imposition of any monopoly, on the part of the East Indies which, added to the other, would depress the commercial energies of the country, in a manner that it would never be able to get rid of. The arguments in favour of pro tecting duties were confined to three points-Ist, that the imports would be sufficient for the demands of the country, even continuing the present system of mono poly ; next, that the revenue proposed to be raised by the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be insuf ficient ; and lastly, they endeavoured to show that the price, under the existing system of protection, would be sufficiently low to meet the wants of the consumer. 110,000 tons was the quantity of sugar that was expected from the 'West Indies ; the West Indians themselves I calculated it at 150,000 tons, but he had been informed, upon good authority, that the former calculation was the more correct one. In Demerara the falling off had been I considerable, and from the Mauritius no more was to be expected than last' year - - There was a large stock on hand but that was easily accounted for by the high price which sugar bore of late, which had decreased the consumption. It was calculated that we would get 56,000 tons • from the East Indies, making a total of 194,000 tons, which was almost the exact quantity we im ported 12 years ago, although the population had increased, according to the best calculatons,atleast 'l5 per cent. He (Mr. Ewart) was anxious for the good, both of the consumers and merchants, that the duty on sugar should be reduced as low as possible. . He was willing to advocate a reduction of the duty on colonial sugar, and always said that he would give to the colonists the advantages arising from three princi ples :—First, the reduction of the duty ; second, immi gration and its consequence, the means of obtaining free labour ; and last and best of all, the advantages of free competition. Great Britain ought to be the natural entrepot for sugar, instead of letting it go to Hamburgh and other towns on the Continent. Brazil was a country of the most gigantic resources, which might be here after developed to the great and lasting advantage of this country ; and he trusted that whatever might be the result of the present debate, the time would come when that fertile land would be opened to the people of Great Britain. But he was aware that on the present occa sion they would have to encounter the interested op position, not only of the West Indian and East In dian bodies, but that they would also have to struggle with the far more formidable phantom of an anti-slavery opposition. He had always been anxious, when the question of the sugar duties was be foie the House, to draw, if possible, some distinction fa vourable to free labour, and adverse to slave labour. The most mature reflection, however, had convinced him that such a distinction was impossible. He did not believe that any nation could act on such a prin ciple— The international commerce of the world should go on, whatever might be the nature of individual opinions. A few parties might be found who, from conscientious motives, would refuse to use articles which were the produce of a certain species of labour ; but such reasoning could not be applied to nations. He also entertained the firmest conviction that if free labour were admitted into fair competition with slave labour it would, vanquish it in any market in the world. He found it to be the result of the inquiries of Mr. Gurney and Mr. Baxter, that the slave-trade was not to be put down by cannon or violence, but by commerce and civilization. Even if we were to make the attempt to maintain freedom and put down slavery by prohibitory duties, it was im possible that we should succeed. The sugars of Brazil and Cuba would still find their way as an exchangeable commodity to Hamburgh, and other Continental ports, and the manufacturers must go t here for produce. Knowing, therefore, that it was impossible by fiscal laws to suppress slavery, he could not concur in the opinion which had been expressed by the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets. Commerce itself was the great emancipator. He knew not by what means slavery had been more effectually checked in all ages of the world. Had we refused to admit American cotton into this country, the effect Y'vciiildliave been to perpetuate slavery in that part of the world. America, confined within her self, would have continued the system without a chatioa of mitigation.—(Hear, hear.) But what had been the effect of our commercial intercourse with that nation? There was a strong anti-slavery confederacy rising up in America, which was shaking that system to its foundation. He thought the proposed reduction of the duties would enable them to make: arrangements for the extinction of slavery in the Brazils—he believed all the people of the Brazils was ready to meet them on that point, if they would only introduce a more liberal policy with regard to articles the produce of the Brazils. His Right Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, in his vigo rous declamation against slavery the other night, seemed to forget the distresses of the poor of his own country. In no part had that distress been more severely felt than among the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets. He ho neyed that associations had been formed in various parts of the country to provide a substitute for sugar not only for the dearness of its price, but on account of the in: d s. tice and exclusive nature of the present protective system. The privations caused by the present system fell exclu sively upon the poor, and his Right on, Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets left thorn uncared for in his just declamation against slavery - . He (Mr. wart) was as ardent an enemy to slavery as any me, even as his Right Hon. Friend, but in his enthusiasm in that cause he could not forget the claims of the poor c this country. Surely if the duties were to be reds ced at all, that was the time—when commerce was iepressed, and did not show its usual elasticity in welng—when our manufacturers were working 0n,,,h , half-time, and our commercial towns languishing, and the poor suf fering great hardships. ear, hear.) The time was come when some steps must be taken to re-invigorate the declining commerce of the countv, The labouring classes were suffering great privations, and that, too, at a time when their habits had chaT.:ged materially for the better. These high duties might have been retained when they were consumers of spirits, but they were now consumers of coffee and tea, Twenty-five years ago there was no coffee-bAnse existing in London for the ex clusive purpose of §olling coffee, now there were 1,800. In France the protective system had been partially abandoned, with great benefit to that country. The principles of i\ve trade were extending themselves all over the world. He deeply felt, that, inl these great commercial changes, Great Britain ought to take the lead ; and, as we had been the first by our navi gation laws, passed under the iron reign of Crom well, to introdace the exclusive system into the commeeelel world, so he trusted we should be the first to hail the new era, and to enter upon the glorious career which was opening btfore us. There was a Com mittee then sitting to cousider the subject of the ex portation of machinery, and he trusted that the result of their labours would be to legalize such exportation. Now, if we admitted a free competition in our exports, we ought to adopt the same principle in our imports, and assert the great doctrine of free trade generally. If we valued our country, if we wished her to be hereafter what she was at present, the first commercial country- in the world, we should do so ; if we did not, we should fall victims to 0, narrow, exclusive, isolated system which had ruined the Dutch, and would ruin the English afterwards. If, on the, contrary, we adopted the system of free trade, we should maintain our right position at the hea,d of the commercial nations of the world. Mr. HEATHCOTE could not help thinking that the scope of the debate would be but ill understood through out the country, It appeared to him that there were two debates going on at the same time. The one intro 441Qed by the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, who had stated that he intended to propose a fixed duty of Bs. on corn, and entered largely into the general sub ject ; and the other, introduced by his Noble Friend, the Member tbr Liverpool, who had solely confined himself to the defence of the sugar duties. In the observations which he was about to offer to the House, he trusted he might be permitted to say a few words on the larger and more general . question. The Noble Lord the Secretary tar. the Colonies had proposed this measure as the first step in a new course on which he was about to enter, as the first of a series of alterations affectieg our colonial, our agri cultural, and our commercial system. The three great articles which he proposed to touch were corn, timber, OM sugar. With regard to corn he had never known a snore determined feeling 'bf opposition against any propo sition to exist throughout the country, than existed against the proposition of the Noble Lord—it was par taken of by all ranks, and was entertained by men of every political 11 opinion.—(Cheers.) Representing, h e did, an agricultural interest, he should think himself" un worthyt the position which he occupied, if at once did not once declare thathe would accept of no compromise.— (Ch r 4 and counter cheers.) The agr i c ulturists gene rally were determined to resist a fixed duty—(Chee rs) fi x ed d u ty of but when the Noble Lord talked of a Bs., he could not but think that the Noble seriously mean Lord was _ta ing of that which he could never for an instant other night, had said to propose.

MORNING EDITION`. . - . would at the same time be' tlflSi:tcd v.ith the two of n scarcity of corn and a defalcation in the revenue. Ile believed that last year a duty of 1,200,000 i. had been paid upon corn imported, and now the Chancellor of the Exchequer calculated Aq - Aeoti an increase in that revenue from the imposition of a fixed duty. Was it right :to suffer a revenue of two millions to be sub ject to the fluctuations which must necessarily occur in times of scarcity? Some gentlemen said they did not hope to carry these measures at present, but that they hoped to do so at some future time.—(Hear, hear.) Ile would at once join issue with them and say, that as long as the Legislature continued, as at present, composed of sensible men such measures never could be carried.— (Hear.) How could that which was just to-day be unjust to-morrow, or that which was true to-night be untrue a year hence ?—(Cheers and counter cheers.) He stood by the present law becaused he believed it to be just, reasonable, and necessary ; and he believed that in that opinion he was in unison with the great majorit? , of his constituency. With regard to timber he was far from saying that when the protection affiwded to any interest was excessive it would not be right to diminish it, but regard should be had to the time at which such alte rations were proposed, and when he recollected that we had recently suppressed a formidable insurrection in our North American colonies he could not but regard it as impolitic to introduce among the colonists a fresh subject of irritation, and thought it a poor return to those loyal colonists by whose exertions the rebellion had been suppressed.' Besides, he could not forget the great shipping interests of the country, and how impossible it was .to maintain the navy of the country with out a large commercial marine. The securing a supply of hardy seamen for the navy was of priceless value and far beyond any pecuniary consideration. With regard to the sugar duties, he considered that a great and costly experiment, but one most glorious to the honour of the country, was now in the course of trial in the West Indies, and one which he should be sorry to see abanioned. The Noble Lord, with a man liness which did him honour, had stated that he could. not think of attacking the protective duties on timber and on sugar without attacking the greatest protected interest of all. So he, .as representing that interest, would say that they would never think of defending / themselves alone, but also defend the other interests attacked with it.—(Cheers.) Why did not the mann,- facturing interests, who were so clamorous for free trade for everybody else, abandon their own protective duties ? —(" Hear, hear," from Mr. Hume.) He knew the Hon. Member for Kilkenny would say " hear, hear," but he wanted something more than vague declarations. He should like to see some one connected with those interests coming forward with a motion to that effect.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member for • Wigan had talked about our setting an example of free trade to foreign countries, but would they follow it ? Ile thought not, and as he preferred the substance. to the shadow, and practice to theory, he felt himself with great regret compelled to vote against Mi ni§ters on this occasion. —(Cheers from the Opposition.) Mr: LASCELLES who was very indistinctly heard in the - gallery, protested against the Ministers arro gating to themselves exclusively the credit of being the champions of free trade. Mr. Huskisson had began the system, and he had no doubt his Right Hon. Friend, the Meinber for Tamvyorth, would be fully prepared to fol low up Mr. Husliisson's policy. The question was one snrrounded by difficulties, which had been increased by the conduct of the Government in making i t a party question. With respect to the principle of free trade lie cordially concurred in it, and thought that all re strictions might be relaxed, provided such relaxation took place gradually and in a manner consonant to our present artificial state. He would not taunt Miiisters with having brought forward their propogitions to sup port a tottering Government, but he.. would protest against their right to go to thq country as the exclusive advocates of free trade% Mr. anon , : said IT pesstefly agreed with the lion. Member for Lincoln, al considering this as one of a series of measures which were intended to divest the commercial tariff of this country of a restrictive charac ter.. The measures propoed by her Majesty's Govern ment for relievin g the present fi nanc i a l diffi cu l t i es with out increasing the 'on dens of the people, met with his unqualified approbation. Though there had been no im mediate financial distress, he would still have • con tended that there was ample space for improvement. The three articles ineluded under these propositions were articles of comfort, essential in any domestic establish ment, whether rich or poor,"and in his (Mr. Grote's) opinion rho same principle of legislation applied to each of them s The propositions of the Government recog nised the necessity of protection, but they limited the ex tent of that protection, and in so doing greatly softened and 'mitigated Its pressure upon the consumers. He con sidered that the trade in corn ought to be perfectly free, ilnd'he had already more than once expressed himself to that effect. The proposition of tfee Government, there fore, fell short of what he thougle'i justice to the country re quired. At the same time e fixed duty of Bs. would be a great benefit, Compared, with the system now in opera tion. Amongst the mercantile community a considerable difference of opinion prevailed as to the propriety- of giv ing protection to the landed interests at all ; some thought that it sluntld be given, others that it should not ; but there was no difference or opinion, he believed, as to the superiority of a fixed over a fluctuatino• b hear.) A fix e d d u t y wou ld b e regarded by the mercantile population as a great improvement. It would convert the trade in corn from the irregular and precarious cha racter which it now had, into a regular proceeding ; and would prevent the evils arising from those sudden and unforeseen demands which at present could not be avoided. The Hon. Member for Lindoln had talked about the kn. possibility of Maintaining this fixed duty in a tivae of seaeoity, lie contended that the present enhancement of price arose in a great measure out of the very 'irregular character of the duty, and that the country we su ld in any case be benefited by the alteration.—(Hear, near.) With respect to the propdsition for an alters lon of the defies on susear„ there again the principle of protection was maintained, but it was limited to w•! eat. he considered the terry substantial protective dues , and difference of 50 peeeent.--(lleac, hear.) Hai',Clitferential duty of 50 per cent, Ixten maintained in favour of West Indian sugar over linst Indian ' that have been considered most 1141tir to East Indifr A interests.—(Hear, hear.) Or if the United States hail imposed a duty of 50 per cent. upon our manufactures, over and above what it imposed on those of France; there would have been serious complaints of the disfavour `,sown to England. It could not, then, be contended ',oat a differential duty of 50 per cent. was ' not tia..istantial protection.—(Hear, hear.) Throughout the whole of this debate great stress had been laid upon the encouragement which would be given by this measure to slave-made productions. He must say he could not concur in the opinion which had been expressed on this subject. There had been loud denunciations against sla very, but what was proposed ? Was it proposed that we should remonstrate with slave-holders, or that we should use force to abolish the system, or that we should pass an interdict on certain articles of food ? Why even the Ron. Member for the Tower Hamlets had distinctly dis claimed any such intention. If Gentlemen would not go that length they must be prepared to reason the mat ter not as one of conscientious objection but of public prudence and policy.—(Hear, hear.) They denounced the slave-holders of Cuba and Brazils, but upon whom in reality did the weight of their displeasure fall ? Why lent upon the slave-holders, but upon the consumer:. They were punishing the poorest portion of o'er own poPulation, while they were thinking to punsh the slay( - holders of Cuba and the Brazils.—(Hear, hear.) It should be remembered that the restrictive policy which had-been adopted fir the suppression of slavery had en tirely failed to produce such a result, end had even had the contrary effect.—(Hear.) His own opinion was that commercial intercourse would have the direct tendency to diminish slavery. By persuasion, by inducement, by intercourse much might be done to mitigate the system. The Noble Lord who had opened the debate had dwelt very much on the example of England in inducing other nations to abolish . shivery. It appeared to him that the line of ar gument adopted by that Noble Lord was calculated re - ther to encourage than repress slavery ; for he had ar gued as if the productions of that system were superior to those of free labour.—(Hear, hear.) He believed, however, with his Hon. Friend the Member for Wigan that that argument was founded on an entire misappre. hension of the subject. The question before the H o wse_ was not whether they should or should not giveP it tion to colonial interests, but whether they should t give , to a greater extent than a differential duty r. If distress per higher duty. He would not draw pictures cent. It appeared to him most unreasonable to claim which prevailed throughout the country, the alz decision be lieved that such a course seldom influenced House that of the House.
