EVENING- EDITION .11 cri 7tc, in any way, the ccndition of the ope rative; of the country. Seeing the Hon. Mem ber for Yaitdey in his place, he v.i ;lied to call his urtention to what he stated hot night relative to the India and Caine, Association. lie stated, as Deputy- Chairman of thi. Association, that that Society were in favour of the prorsitions of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Now, he (Mr. Alderman Copeland) felt bound most anequivo,..ally to state that such was net the fret, but that they were most decidedly opposed to it. Mr. TIASTIE felt obliged to the Hon. Meiaboe fur :Wet-nine for giving him an opportunity Of putting him tsalf rzo. , t. What lie had stated wa; that all bat a ma -iority of ele people connected with India approved of a swlerate difVere.ntial duty, not a prohibitory duty, and -; the!, the Lon. Member cordially concurred. He had .t.ao to state, that vilien he mentioned that he was De paty-Chairman of that aissociation, he mentioned it with the view of convinctig the Howse that he had .wounds for the statements he made. • s:r 11. VIVIAN was always tenvilling to trespass on ti o indulgence of the House, and especially was he .so at the present time, when the discussion had pitoeyeeded for six days ; but having always been a sAxenuoas advocate for free trade, and having always - noixen to favour of the Corn-laws, he thought he should watiting to himself and the House, if he hesitated to ;tatty his entire concurrence with the views of 0 - over:la-lent. With respect to the Corn iamvs, he would ask his Honourable Friend the 11:enits for Coleraine whether they had ~ans iverA the purposes for . which they were in `Wed ? lie would rentur;! to say that they had not, bat that they had deranged the whole monetary system of the country, and they had made it appear as if there. were two parties and two interests in the country. Now, his own part, he had always felt that the agricultural frost and the commercial were so interwoven that one could not flourish without the other.—(Hear, hear.) He would venture to say that as long as the Coen-laws ex ited, there would be nothing - but distress in the coun try. As an instance of the effect of the Corn-laws, he would state that some time since he had occasion ;0 go to Liege to see if in case of necessity he ceuld ob lain arms there. He found the manufactory there busily it.mployetl in getting up goods that had been ordered at liirininghani but refused. there ; and upon making in quiries he (Sir H. Vivian) found that the arms for which ni. 10s. were usually given in this country, he could get there for 21. Upon going to Birmingham and in quiring the reason of this, he was told by a manufacturer there, while the Corn-laws existed it was impossible for them to compete with foreigners.—(Hear, hear.) As to the sugar duties it was said if that measure was carried id it would increase slavery. He was as decided an euenny to slavery as ever existed, and being such he must state his belief that it would have no such effect. In considering the reduction of Is. Gd., they should ',oak not only to the reduction itself but to the effect kisich it would have upon consumption. The Noble Lord concluded by saying that borough after borough liad slipped out of their hands. Was the Noble Lord anti those who sat with him prepared to approve of the means by which that had been done ?—(Cheers from the Liberal Benches.) Were they prepared to go with lye Chartists ?—(Here some observation in an under tone was made from the apposition benches.). lt was _ possible that such a change as Gen tlemen contemplated might take place.—(Hear.) He would not admit that though.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh from the Opposition benches.) When that change does cake place, depend upon it we shall see the Hon. Baronet rand Hon. Gentlemen opposite coming down to the House to propose measures very similar to those under the consideration of the House.—(Near.) It must be era The time was come when it was not safe to put off , tine consideration of this great question any longer. The trillbe was come when England would see the cause of the opposition which had been made to these measures, and when it would be admitted that England, of all countries on the face of the earth—England, rich in its productions, • rich in its mineral productions, rin in its merchants, rich in its artisans—that England, above all countries on tiro earl, ought to have every possible facility given to the extension of its trade. Sir C. DOUGLAS said as he had been a Member of, -ilia Committee on Import Duties to which allusion had ba A an made, he begged to tell the H ouse t h at t h e analysis proaented to the ouse was not a correct statement of At occurred in that Committee. Th e H onoura bl e ber then referred to transactions which had occurred in reference tto the slave trade during the Administration of the Duke of Wellington ; and he contended from the measures which had been adopted '`wr that Government, they ley had been opposed t o an d h a d taken steps for preventing the slave trade by the very e which were opposed by Hon. Gentlemen opposite. In his opinion the measures under consideration were of a 'Tv recent date, and ~proceeded entirely from an un e4litentional tenacity of office. The Governme n t came in w ith * zrea t cr y of " Peace, retrenchment, and re t,-m.4' He c - on tended that the Government had enticell d • ved the count r y with res pect to 4 " i° objecta.—(Cheers.) --They never thought of 'a . exonpt when they fo und that the y were l "AlQg gmund.—(Cheers.) He had no wis h to sa y any "nal_Porsoaal er ofSensive, he-spoke of the Government "In aGvernment, not as individuals. But he would just agape one quotation from what Mr. Fox had said, on the metion of L( rd )George Cavendish against Lord North's A- 4 ministration In 17p, : "He roan who would be an infa mou s should, on cOming into place, abandon the pro fes.sions which he made when out of place." If the pre vent- Government should, by the course they were pur suing, rend er it almost impossible for any other party to hold the reins of office, he would leave it to the House to ssy how that expression would then be applicable to 1 Sir IL PARNELL said the Hon. Member had found f,,e;llt with the Report m a d e b y the Committee on Import Duties, but he believed that they had named it in strict ollitbrmiiy with the evideace laid before it, and that the witnesses were those who wer e best qualified to pro . ;:iiance an opinion upon the subject. He believed the Itoport of the Committee had gone far to enlighten the F.:toile as to the large suaiswhich were paid, not by way of revenue but for the purpose of protecting p art i cu l ar laicrests.—(Hear, hear.) Why there were not less tl , .an 84 articles of colonial produce on which protecting 4!1t:.t‘.. , s were laid. It also showed how the increased e.: - . o iee and the consequently enhanced price had inter fe.rod with the consumption of vanons articles. The ot.untry had now obtained the most authentic e.:l.lence as to the immense sums paid annu a ll y •_: i. 6 t vs, ay of indirect taxation, and the manner in which w' ./.I.tioni had crippled their co•mmerce and manufac ), 7 - kli 'lle belie ve d i t h a d b een c l ear ly establish e d th at '..1 k 5 Tapifilmt paid by way of indirect taxation equalled Atike -i.l) ye sum paid by way of revenue, and the conse _:_snittig,vas that the people were paying L 0,000,000/. 0 0 .4P'aas.more than they ouIX to pay, It appeared to. ' - NI:I thirty carrying out the measures recommended i n ..._,L A the.W..rt of that Committee by revising the differential j , • - ~ otective duties, they would promote \ 1 ..e. . the commerce ci .e country, place it on a sound and more permanent , Indies would be inadequate to the demand in the British market for the ensuing year. He did not think that the question, as regarded those colonies, had been fairly argued. During the past year the West India proprie tors had been aided bet of the Consolidated Fund, to the amount of nearly 80,0001., and such being the case, and the value of the slaves having been paid for. he did not think they could stand in the way of measures in which the interests of the country were involved. He thought the House would be wrong, afte, Ate great advantages they hadlgiven to the West Indians if they were to refuse a great commercial treaty. The exports to the Brazils in 1839, even under the present slifavourable circumstances, amounted to more than two thirds of the exports to the West Indies, and if by enter ing into- a commercial treaty with the Brazils, and by that means opening the markets of South America to our commerce, we should realise the proud boast of Mr. Can ning, we should have called a new world into ex istence.—(Loud cheers.) • With regard to the timber duties, he thought that that was perhaps the weakest point of the proposition of the Right Honourable Gentleman, because he had not carried out his principles on that subject with the same boldness he had manifested with regard to sugar and oorn.—(Hear, hear.) He disapproved of_ the augmentation of the duty on Canadian timber, and he thought it would have been better to have further reduced the duty on Baltic timber, and to have left Canadian timber liable to the same duty as at present. With respect to the duty on corn the Mi nisters, by the proposal of a fixed duty, placed them selves in the position they ought to occupy—that of umpires between the two contending parties in the State. They had adopted a course which, while it would give satisfaction to the country, would obviate many of the evils of the present system. The Ministerial mea sure would tend to make the trade in corn a fixed and regular trade and would conduce to tbe prosperity of the manufactures of the country. It was the opinion of Mr. Illanaire, a high authority on the subject, that a Oxed duty as a protection to agriculture was preferable to &e sliding scale, Many agriculturists would have preferred a duty of 10s. to one of Bs., but he thought that in order to obtain a final settlement of the question that agriculturists would be acting wisely to accept the pro position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—(Rear, ) The present system had been tried for twelve years, and during seven of those years there had been a considerable importation of foreign corn, therefore they had failed in their object of insuring a perma nent supply from the home-grower.—(Hear.) He was glad to see that the Government did not mean to deny to the manufacturers of corn that protection to which he thought they were entitled. He should be sorry to expose the British husbandman unprotected to competition with the corn-grower of Poland and the Cri mea. He considered the absolute repeal of the Corn iaws a measure which would lead to vast mischief and hardship, and he was glad to see the Government, in wtead of giving into the opinions of theorists, pursuine• middle course, and he was , sure the scheme they had suta mitted to the House would be approved of by the coun try, and that on an appeal to the country, a verdict would be given in their favour.—(Cheers.) He gave hem full credit for that dignified disregard of the emo - iuntente of office which had impelled them to declare, that whether in or out of office, they would maintain the principles they had propounded, and he was con vinced the country would wish to see these measttre car ried out by the Ministers who had propounded them end not by those who, now seated on the Opposition bienehes, might hereafter find it convenient to adopt 'hem. He was sure the country wished to sec thcsemeasures esrried out by its friends, and not by those who were in opposition to it. The country was anxious to see re irms carried out by Beibrmers.—(Hear, hear.) But ..,hat the Ministers should resign office without appealing to the country, he could not tor a moment contemplate. That the limas° and the country should ace this measure carried out by single-hearted Reformers was not (~.:13r his wish but that of every right-minded man in the country.---(Hear, hear.) Mr.,Alder_uan COPELAND totally dissented from the proposition brought forward by the Chancellor of the Ptchequze% He thought the budget, if carried out, would prove the total rain of the commerce of the country. s to the Corn-laws, their total repeal would not amc footing, and materially benefit the working classes. It, appeared to him that the true character of the proposition of the Government with regard to sugar had been most unfairly misrepresented by Honourable Members on the other side of the House. It was absurd to suppose that the Government had proposed the indiscriminate admission of all sugar. There was still a high protective duty in favour of the production of their own colonies, and he did not think the measure would produce any further effect upon the West Indies than to permit of a wholesome competition, which would, at the same time, keep down the price and secure a suffi cient supply of that article. It was, he believed, stated on high West Indian authority, that if that country would take off the restrictions upon their trade, which in some cases amounted to 70 per cent., they would have no objection to give up the monopoly they enjoyed with re gard to sugar. He thought the true policy of that coun try, as a great commercial one, was to remove all restric tions, and establish the principles of free trade. Sir EARDLEY WILMOT said he had been anxious to make a few observations on the preceding evening, when the Hon. Member for Kilkenny (Mr. Hume) rose and occupied the House to the adjournment of the debate. It was not long ago since that Honourable Member supported him (Sir E. Wilmot) in a proposition which he made to the House for the abolition of the negro apprenticeship., and it was not without great surprise that he heard the Hon. Member last night, in a long and able speech, support the views of her Majesty's Government, which had a tendency directly the reverse of what the proposition which he supported relative to the apprenticeship had. Hc,(Sir E. Wilmot) would not go one step to confer any advantage on the West Indian interest, but if he would not do them a favour neither would he do them any injustice. He conceived that the reduction on the sugar duties was against the principle of the emancipation of the negroes in all parts of the world, and for any measure which would have such an effect, he could never give his vote. It was to record his vote against such a measure that he now rose, as he conceived it contrary to all Christian principles. Mr. H. BERKELEY perfectly concurred in the prin ciple of increasing the revenue of the country by a reduction of taxation. He was likewise delighted to find that it was meant by the Government to revise the Corn-laws ; he felt sensible that it was a measure which was called for, and he had no doubt would be received by a great portion of the community with the approba tion it deserved. However, with respect to the proposi tion for the reduction of the duty on sugar, while he gave every credit to Ministers for so much of their plan as would, in his opinion, after a certain period, be attended with beneficial results, both as respects slavery and the interest of the planter, yet he could not conceal from himself that in the West Indies a great experiment was now being tested for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade. Upon the success of that experiment in the West Indies depended the welfare of the African negro throughout the world. If he represented the whole of the West Indian interest, and were the cause of humanity opposed to that interest, he would vote in favour of humanity. But here the cause of humanity and the interest of the West Indian merchant were, in his mind, one and the same. He believed if the question of the abolition of slavery was thrown over, that the present would be the worst measure for the negro that ever was passed. He would therefore vote for the reso lution of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Sandon). Mr. J. PARKER said, that the Hon. Member who had just sat down had left out of the account the real reasons which influenced her Majesty's Ministers to in troduce the present measure. The present Government, and the majority of their supporters, had always perse- I verei in endeavouring to rescue the negro from the-hor rors of slavery ; but they would never sacrifice the rights of the people of England to the advantages of the negro population. They had constituents—(Oppo sition cheers)—yes, he would repeat, they had consti tuents, not only electors, but non-electors. He, for one, stood there in his place, the representative not only of the electing, but also of the non-electing population of the district which did him the honour of returning him to that House ; and for them he supported a measure which would provide the necessaries of life at a cheap rate. It was his firm helief that the course adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer was well calculated to benefit the condition of the masses of the people of England.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Whatever might be the result of the coming division, he had no doubt that Hon. Gentlemen would find that the principal and substantial part of the proposed measure would become in a short time the law of the land. Whether his friends around him sat on the Ministerial or the opposite side of the House, he had no hesitation in saying that no blind j eaa or infatuation, or laxity of principle, would ever dh - ert them from the course which they knew was for the benefit of the people ; they would support the proposition which was now made in whate, - er shape it might come before them. It appeared to him that his Right Hon. Friend had taken the proper course to protect the commerce of the country, and supply the deficiency in the Exche quer. If there was any thing more clear than another it was that the House should support the diplomacy of the country, and strerigthan the hands of the Noble Lord who had so long and so honourably presided over it. The more the House did so the more it enabled him to say to Germany and Prussia, to North America and the Brazils, we will take your corn and timber, and other productions; the more it en abled him to show to these great countries that our Cus tom-house was not hermetically sealed, the more would it enable him to strengthen our diplomatic relations, and to illustrate still more the merit of his policy.—(Hear.) He was satisfied the more they increased the productions and manufactures of the country—(and herein he was supported by the testimony of the Right lion. Baronet, (Sir IL Peel)—the more their own prosperity would be augmented. He apologised to the House fix trespassing on their attention, but representing a community inter ested as much as any, or above all others, in freedom of trade, or reduced production, be felt he should not have acted in the manner they had a right to expect from him, if he had not raised his voice in favour of the proposition advanced by the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Hesr,) Mr. D'ISRAELI said that he was much struck by to observation that had been made in the course of the debate, that one remedy was seldom found sufficient for two &senses. He thought it would shortly receive an illustration, and that it would be found that the present proposition would not suffice to replenish the Treas2u and keep the Government in office. The Right Hon. Gen::lem4n had taken what was called high ground. He had arfog:ded to his party the peculiar honour of representing the corn mercial interests of the country, speaking, too, again the resolution of the Noble Lord the Member for Liver. pool, backed as it was by the Hon. Member for Bristol, who had just deserted him.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the question immediately before the House, there were two points which he thought the present debate had established ' • first, that the supply of sugar f r o m our colonies was sufficent for the country, and that in case the proposition of the Government was adopted, the reduction in price to be consumed would be almost im posible to be computed from its littleness. Then it fol lowed that the real question at issue was whether the adoption of the proposition would open new markets for us. The Right Hon. the Judge Advocate had de scribed those with whom he had the honour to act, as hypocritical Pharisees thanking God. He (Mr. D'lsraeli) supposed at the same time that he was a placeman and a sinner. —(Cries of " Oh, oh !") A fiscal point of great importance on this occasion was the nature of the market of Brazil. But when the House heard so much of the Brazilian nation, and the importance of a commercial treaty with that country, he thought it would be well for the House to remember that the population of Brazil was only five millions, of whom three millions were ,negro slaves and 250,000 coloured slaves, and that it was the result of general observation and experience that the population in slave trade did not increase. He wished, therefore, to see the Government extending their patronage to other and free countries—the Mexican and the South American States—but, above all, he wished them to remember that our exports to Jamaica were greater than those to Mexico and Peru together. Hon. Gentlemen had talked a good deal of the commercial dis tress in the country. He had not heard that that, dis tress was denied ; but neither had he heard any evidence to prove that it was any other than one of those periodi cal depressions which must always occur in a country where manufactures and commerce were carried on to the extent in which they were in England. Similar dis tress and similar predictions of the decay and ultimate destruction of her commerce had existed in the time of Sir Robert Walpole, throughout the whole of the reign of George 11., in which the foundation was nie hor a su. ts l u a ea rr i laid Burke, of anc o ndo u du r wtl dhh c e commercia l notmlNlverer. Pitt remember et greatnes s roli egope ri o d s t.O Members hislon f the t ime commercialofM de pression. But if they would look t t i s o n facts c e t v s md in n ffi r c t i h al documents they would find there w what ever of any permanent decay. It was said t e h n a c t e it was true the amount was maintained, but that its character was altered. That was an important questio n , but one which could only be d ec id e d b y the profoundest inquiry. If they would look to th e mar k ets of the o would not find a single ev id ence o f their decline—they they n—they would find, indeed, that our ex p orts were diminished in those countries which had been under the ausp" • care of the Noble Lord P a l merston, but auspicious care n s ici would suppose that our commerci a l tariff had produced these results. The Noble Lord admitted that these markets had been disturbed, but attempted to fix on those around him the approbation of the policy Which had occasioned it. He (Mr. D'L) had never heard statements more erroneous. He would not tantalise the Noble Lord's memory by referring him to a debate on which he had had a majority, but on the China debate lie was satisfied that no such approbation had been be stowed as that which was asserted. But our expbrts to those places, with whom we had long maintained com mercial relations, had of late considerably increased ; and not Only so, but we were now penetrating into the interior of new countries with whom we had every reason o expect we should form extensive commercial relations. Nothing in the course of this protracted debate had sur prised him more than the charge of faction made against Hon. Member for Tamworth—(Cheers)-- whose lt t i g otal want of factious feeling kept the Noble Lord who made the charge in his present seat in the Adminis tration.--(Cheers.) Sir 11. VERNE Y thought it was necessary for the ex tension of the trade of this country, that measures such i a i s h el e i r at A l l t a r j a e i s e ty's lled G w o i v t e h ri e lm on e t n in t ere proposed, ialnien s i h n ou th ld be e interior of of Sthoautt!tihlebwneerialctliti, which the Great r e s u l ß t r o i t i h n in i s inigh observationsderive w ive from was a free commerce with the Southern continent of Ame rica would far surpass all the gains that the two Spains had acquired from their mines.—(Hear, hear.) Those Members who supported the Government were not calling upon the House to abandon the West India interest, or to sacrifice Canada to the Baltic trade. — (Hear, hear.) The object of the measures proposed by her 'Majesty's Government was to give an impulse H to e tr h acl o p p , ea and to benAt equally ail parts of the empire. that Ministers having thrown down the gauntlet would go through the fight like men and if they were beaten, it could not be to their dishonour and it must be to the advantage of the country. Mr. KEM.BLE said that it appeared to him that they were then called upon to undo that which the country had formerly done for the emancipation of West Indian slavery. The consequence of the proposal of Ministers would be to give fresh encouragement to slavery in the Brazils and in Cuba, by creating a new market for their sugar. The Gentlemen were now acting in direct con tradiction to the precedent which they had themselves laid down in opposing the motion of the Hon. Member for Wigan last year. There was nothing to justify such inconsistency, as the price of sugar was now becoming so low, that, according to the evidence taken before a Committee of the House, there would be no limit to the consumption. He confessed that he had read with great astonishment in the papers of that day the resolutions of the Anti-Slavery Committee of Liverpool—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches)—for he could not have conceived it possible that those who had been in cessantly urging in the country the criminality of the slave trade, would not come forward to support a mea sure which in June last they held to offer an encourage ment to the evil which they . were formed to suppress. It was, however, to the national wish—it was to the people of England, they were in reality indebted for the emancipation of the negroes ; and he confidently be lieved the people would not now shrink from the conse quences of the course they had pursued. He admitted the difficulties of the country, and deplored them as much as any man ; but it was to the conduct of the Government themselves he attributed those evils, and he hoped that they would not long have the destiny of the country in their hands.—(Hear, hear.) How dif ferent was the state of England from what it had been when the Whigs came into office after the downfal of the Ministry of the Duke of Wellington ; and how much had they forgotten the principle of Mr. Huskisson, that there should always be in this country a surplus re venue of from 4,000,000/. to 5,000,000/. ? He did not think that the present was a proper time for bringing forward the measures introduced by the Government, or that they could, under existing circumstances, be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Those measures might in the opinion of some be ultimately successful.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) They might pro duce some good, but it was possible, too, that they would bring much of evil and of disorder upon the country. Under these circumstances he would feel it his duty to oppose, as he did on the 25th of June last, the motion of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not but regrets that some of the leaders of the party to which the Hon. Gentleman who had just ad dressed the House belonged, were not present during the latter part of his speech, for he was 'sure that if the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Pembroke, or the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, who had assisted in drivinc , the Duke of Wellington from office in 1830, though' they had since united with his party—he was sure that if they had been present du ring the observations of the Hon. Gentleman they would have enabled him to give a different account of the state of the country at the time from that which the Hon. Gentleman had given, and they would have refreshed his memory with some few particulars which he had omitted.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) They would have reminded_ him of circumstances which he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) should have thought that a gentleman so much connected with the City could not have forgotten. They would have re minded him at any rate that at that period, throughout the whole of our agriculture, no one could sleep in quiet —and that property was repeatedly in flames.—(Cries of " Hear.") They would have reminded him that at that time the King of w England was not able to pass through his own City of London • and, with respect to foreign affairs, it should be recollected that a Noble relative of his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) then declared that the state of our foreign affairs was such, that he defied the Government to keep the peace of the country for six weeks. If the Hon. Gentleman, in his statements on the sugar trade, was merely as correct as in his recollection of political circumstances, he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) was afraid that the House could not place much reliance on his statements on that subject. It was a great satisfaction to • find that the Hon. Gentleman had not so many facilities of obtaining accurate information on the sugar question ; he only touched upon that subject. He had referred to the ;;lovely case, but when he came to the details of the question before the House, lie found that the Hon. Gentleman handled it as ilitgerly po§B Bible, and contented himself with referring to general questions of finance and commerce. He would not follow the Hon. Gentleman into these questions—he would say nothing of the opinion of Mr. Huskisson, that we should have at all times a surplus revenue to the amount of 4,000,0001. or 5,000,0001; that was one of those beauti ful dreams which financiers sometimes indulged in ,• but he would tell the Hon, Gentleman, if he consulted the history of the country he would find that under no Administration had it been reallsed..—(Hear) In the observations which the Hon. Gentleman had made an the sugar question, he had fallen into the same in consistency with other Members of his party who had preceedcd him. Some Hon. Gentleman told him that he would get no foreign sugar, and that he could not hope to make up the revenue from that source, whilst others told him that under his scheme there would be such a deluge of Cuba sugar—(Hear, hear) — that such a quantity of it would come into the British market, that the negro population of the West Indies would be thrown out of employment, that the West India proprietors would be ruined, and that even the rich ryots of the Ganges would sink under the weight of competition. , It was very inconvenient to deal with Hon. Gentlemen who did not know exactly what line to take upon the subject. They should have settled before-hand whether no sugar was to be imported and he was to get no revenue, or whether there was to to be an extensive importation of sugar, and lie was to get a large revenue at the expense of the West Indies. The two propositions were utterly irreconcilable. His Noble Friend (Lord J. Russell) had stated to the House the mode in which the duty was to be raised ; and he thought that statement would satisfy the House not only that ample protection had been given to the West Thdian interest, but also that they could safely calculate on receiving the amount of revenue which they had stated. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) sin cerely believed that their expectations on that subject would not be disappointed. Her Majesty's Government had satisfied themselves that the proper way to meet the nos,i N eial difficulties of the country was to take an en larged view of its difficulties, to give a new impulse to co cnierce, and not to lay additional burdens upon a people already lciently burdened ; and they had thought it their duty to cdri's l der what was the due amount of the protecting duty to be o!ven to West India sugar in con parison with foreign, sugar. He would ask was that a sufficient price to the West Indian—would those prices secure to that interest a fair Awl reasonable return ?" If Honourable Members would look $ !hp paper which he had the honour of laying upon the table et the House, they would see that from 1820 lip 0 MP: throughout the whole of that time, with the exception of the two years, 1835 and 1836, the price of colonial sugar had never exceeded 395., while in those two and the last two years ho would acknowledge the price of sugar had been very much higher, but the price he had secured to the British colonies was *Nice which had not been exceeded, with those exceptions, during the last 20 years. He had been taunted that 50 per cent. was a very considerable protection to any article of ne cessity or trade. The Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire acknowledged on the other evening that sugar now was an article of neecNity, but his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) object was not to inter fere in any measure, but to give ample security to the West Indian interest, by giving them the high protecting duty of 50 per cent. But it must be remembered that that was not the only advantage which the West Indian interests had obt a i ne d. His Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade had introduced a Bill giving certain facilities to the West Indian trade. In 1833 a Committee of that House sat; and long calculations were entered into, Th@ West Indian interest then stated that the restric tions upon their trade and commerce was a heavy addi tional taxation upon their sugar. He did not want to tie them down to the statements then made by them, for any interest making out a case for themselves were generally carried away by their feelings, but he was bound to say that by the Bill his Right Honourable Friend brought in —which, though it did not enirely remove, still greatly reduced the restrictions pressing upon the West Indian trade—that trade received a facility to the amount of the restrictions taken off. It had been said that the 700,0001. which he expected, would not be realised ; now, in his dealing with sugar, his object had been to fix a certain sum beyond which the price of sugar would not rise. So long as colonial sugar could be sold below a certain price foreign sugar could never interfere or come in competi tion with it. The question then was, what sum he could , really obtain at the price he had fixed ? He begged, then, again to refer to the table which he had laid before the House, and they would find that in 1825, when the price of sugar was 38 s. 6 d. the consumption was 3,020,000 tons ; in 1826, when the price was 30 s. 6d., being then a reduction of Bs., the consumption had increased by 494,000 tons. In 1836, when sugar was 40s. 10d„ the fallen to 34 5. e consumption was d., the consumption was 3,480,000 tons ; while in 1837 the price having again 4,B6o,oootons. Let the House look at the price of sugar during those years, and they would find that by securing the price of 365., while of late it had been from 395. to 495., he had therefore secured a fall of 65., and therefore they could calculate upon a much larger importation of sugar during the next year than any of those Preceding. Taking those amounts, and looking to the increase, of population, he found that, even taxed as it had been, the consumption had increased. Taking the amount of last year, and considering the reduction, they m i g h t rely upon an increase of 523,000 tons of sugar, and taking it and the revenue, he proposed it gave 660,0301.; he had placed at 700,000/., but that was supposing th a t every ounce of sugar that came in was to be colonial sugar, and introineX at the lowest rate . of duty, and that did not include any duty upon molasses. Provided he cou ld secure a low and fair price for sugar for all turned upon that point, provided a certain pries) of sugar were realized they might rely upon a certain re venue of 709,000/. Re believed that that sum was very much under-rated. In 183 a the consumption of the country was 191bs. per head, taking thg population of 1841, and the rate of consumption the bo.iNg ns in 1830 instead of raising 700,0001. they would raise a revenue of 1,606,000/. Taking the duty always at the lowest rate, in the year 1831, when the consumption amounted to colbs, a - head , we would have received, 1,659,009/. ; i n 1839, 1,320,60'r'1 in 1833, when the price had risen, 992,000/. ; in 1834, 1,000,0001. ; in 1835, 1,300,0001. ; in 1836, when the price was highest, and the consumption lowest, only SO that, taking 991NITnPti'm 549,000/. ; in 1837, 1,115,000 L ; in 1838, 1,128,000/. ; and in 1829, 720,000/. of any one of those ten years, with the exeeptiott a 1130 year 1836; as the basis of their calculation, he would re- 1 TIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAV, MAY 15, 1841 ceive the amount larger than the amount he had calcu lated on.—(Cheers.) Ile would look at it in another point of view, and he would appeal to the experience of any gentleman who had an opportunity of ascertaining the habits of the lower and middle classes of society, whether he was not aware that among those classes, during the last two years, the habit of consuming sugar increased to such an extent that the stocks of the grocers had been materially reduced.—(Cheers.) But during the last year the poorer classes had been obliged to give up the use of sugar, or, which materially affected their welfare, to use adulterated sugar to a great extent. — (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman had borne his testi mony to the character of two of the witnesses who had been examined before the Committee, and, therefore, it was not necessary for him to insist upon the high cha racter and intelligence of these gentlemen. But what did they say ? Why, they said this, that the moment the price of sugar was raised above 605., the consumption fell off, but that as long as you could keep the price at from 50s. to 605., you might look for an almost inter minable consumption, for a consumption, in fact with out limit.—(" Hear hear," from Mr. Goulburn.) He knew what the Right Hon. Gentleman meant by that cheer. The Right Hon. Gentleman admitted it in his speech the other evening. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, " Let sugar alone, you will your get 700,000/. ; it is my opinion you will get more."—(" Hear, hear," from Mr. Goulburn.) It was admitted then that he would get his 700,000/.—(Hear, hear.) What then became of all the taunts which he had heard on the subject ?—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) What then became of the observation of the Noble Lord the other night, that he would not get anything like that money ? (Cheers.) What, then, became of that taunt which had been thrown out, and which stigmatised his proposal as a legislative bubble ?—(Loud cheers.) A bubble that would bring in 700,0001. a year was not to be despised. —(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman said that he would get the money from the home markets, he would get that sum of money both now and hereafter from that source ; and therefore he was told he ought not to take any measure, and that was considered a triumphant reply.—(Cheers.) Now his object had always been to protect the West Indian as long as he could afford sugar at a fair and reasonable price. But while on the one hand he afforded a protection to the West Indian so long as he could supply sugar at a reasonable price, on the other hand he was bound to see the public protected. So long as the West Indian was able to send his sugar to the public at a fair and reasonable price, so long would he be protected. But the moment he got beyond that price, foreign sugar would interfere with him, Thus, while he secured to the West Indian a fair protection, he took a security on the part of the poorer classes and the revenue, that they should not be put to the inconvenience to which they were put. during the last year, in consequence of the high price.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman had entered into a calculation, which he had produced, and on which he had asked him (the Chancellor of the ExcheqUer) to rely. In the first place, the Right Hon. Gentleman told him that the quantity of sugar which they might expect from the British colonies and the East Indies, would be amply sufficient for the consump tion of the country. His answer was, that he should be glad to leave it to the consumers of the country to judge what they thought was a proper quantity for the con sumption.—(Cheers.) The whole object and principle of his measure was to fix a fair price, so that consump tion could go on to the utmost possible extent. But he thought if he looked back into the papers in the Colo nial-office, he should find repeated and very recent re monstrances from those very colonies which now told them that they were able to give a full and ample supply of sugar, complaining that their productions was falling off, and that they were ruined.—(Hear, and cheers.) To ha sure those remonstrances were made before they were aware of the present measure.—(Laughter.) But they could not blow hot and cold at the same time ; they could not complain of the produce falling off, and at the same time state that they were now producing more sugar than ever had been grown before.—(Hear.) But that was not all ; they were told that they could ob tain an unlimited supply from the East Indies. Now he had had the honour to receive a deputation from the East India merchants, and had asked them what they considered a fair remunerating price. Now he had thought that 365. ought to be the price but they had stated that they must look for 40s. So that the rich valley of the Ganges according to the statement would not supply sugar under 40s. Now, if he was of opinion that 365. was tt fair price, for the consumer to pay in this country, and a prime which would afAvd the greatest revenue, would he be justified in trusting to the pledges and opinions of Hon. Gentlemen on the other side of the House, that the supply would be amply sufficient without taking any security for the truth of their pledges? —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But if they were able to provide an adequate supply, and a surplus beyond it, as they stated, then no foreign sugar would be ad mitted, and no harm would b done.—(Hear, hear.) When the question had been argued the other day, gen- ' tlernen opposiW had referred triumphantly to the Price Current, and had told him that even since the time that he had introduced his measure prices had fallen. Bat would they appeal to the Price Current now ? Had prices continued to fall ?—(Cheers. Did they suppose that gentlemen engaged in this trade did not look to what was going on in that House ; and what was the effect ? ' Prices were rising, and would rise. Gentlemen said that last year the prices were high, but now they had fallen from 495. to 365., and lie was taunted that now prices were lower—he was about to interfere, and was asked why he had not interfered last year when they were high. If he had come down to the House and said, " The prices are very high, and I will propose a measure now," did the House suppose that Hon. Gentleman opposite would be satisfied ?—(Hear, hear.) Would they not have asked him, -and most properly, not to take so ruinous a step at that moment, but give them a little time to make some alterations when the prices were more equal, and then to propose this measure ?—(Hear.) He had chosen a time, he admitted, when the produce of the East Indies and other colonies was large, and when lie mighs be taunted that what he proposed would make but a small difference. But it was a time when he could interfere the best, and the least inconveniently to the West Indian interest—it would not materially affect them this year, but then he gave them warning of what was going to take place. He did not taken them by surprise.— (Hear, hear.) If it were true that the law was waste paper for this year, the result was that it was clone with that courteous discretion and that careful attention to their interests, which left them no right to complain.—(Cheers.) While he was dealing with the question of protection, he would call the attention of the House to a point which had been referred to by the Hon, Member for Newark and by his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, and he trusted that his answer would be perfectly satisfactory. In 1829 Mr. Charles Grant brought n proposal before the House with regard to the sugar duties, On that occasion he stated, that Mr. Huskisson, when President of the Board of Trade, had pledged himself to recon sfder the sugar duties ; that Mr. Huskisson fia,ving Ipft the office ; and being succeeded by himself, lie considered hinisPlf 14C11111€1 by that pledge I that in consequence he had given his best attention to those duties, consulted parties on the subject, and even tually laid before the Cabinet, a reduction in the scale of duty. In the debate which followed, this fact was not 4fte t pci by Mr. Huskisson or by any Hon. Gentleman. Now what was the scale ? Oti East India sugar 255,, on fo reign —what ? per aunt, upon 20. He know the argument that was used by the Hen. Member for Newark was, that that was a great experiment ; that at the time the question of slavery was in agitation, what difference was made between free lahOUr sugar and foreign sugar of Brazil or Cuba? Th e y g4yq ii protection of 3s. only to the free labour sugar of the Mast Indio*, in comparison with the sugar of Brazil and Cuba,--- (Cheers') Now, he would not quakes,' as to whether the duty should be 2s, more or less ; but lie must make one obseration in this respect. He was prepared to give a protection of 50 per cent. to free-labour sugar. There had been hitherto a protec tion, of 3s. only, and yet Hon. Gentlemen said that it was a (1400401, of principles that Plev WOIII4 pg endure that slavery and the slave,m4de should ba enconraged. —(Cheers from the Tory benches,) Let Hon. Gentlmen be assured that the people of this country took a deep interest in this matter, and they would find these pre tensions to humanity would not serve them. They would ask the question, how it came that they who were prepared to admit 8ra4,4 044 Cuba sugar, wits} a prqtpo tion of 3s. only ea free labour sugar When they were in power, the people would ask the question how it hap pened that they had forgotten that fact, and now found it utterly inconsistent with their principles, But there was another answer. The Hon. Member for Newark had said it was nothing : that there was a large surplus, and that, therefore, I t was nothing. If such were the case, if the surplus was ample i%ir the con sumption, why was it that the objection was not made? Mr. F. Buxton had said, with respect to competition, that lie was afraid that by it they would increase slavery, considerable effect in and s most important, therefore 1e objected4:i ci they t o it. Mr. Huskisson and Lord Olenelz, .on the contrary, thought that competition was At that time the protection Was j that was Con , raising sidered ample. And why, therefore, he would m ol i e tted tF4 t 4s h: , t , it a l v e ou g ld rg h: ii ' s 'e . ask, should not the protection that he proposed be considered ample too ? He would now turn to his Right Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, Ile admitted that anything that fell from hirii fell from a man who was j'erguaded that he was right. But he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) must - confess that he,entirely differed with his Right Hon. Friend in the view and prospect he had of introdacir,g fm.eign sugar. His (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) opinion was that competition between free labour sugar of East and IhSfeensetfllt to nchetsrde. ,aand 110 laid which acio producedw o a ci s otiht tiiath b i y s i a g v h e slaves in Cuba and the ilrasils, wo uld be productive of consider ableHonourable Friend sincerely and honestly believed what he had stated. But his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) opinion was, that if they wished to strengthen the trade in free labour sugar they must b r:c i u sta r t r o i theim i b r y u . e pr p o s t i e ici ti y o l l :s — of (H fr e e ar e trade. If they wished to have a healthy, a steady . ,"a Fair, and sei.ong producp gf free labour sugar, the only way to procure that was to allow it to be competed with by other sugar, a e n hw d ima n s o ts t huar t t o e, that his looking back at i- the 4t 4,7 aria epopltry, nothing was more true than the principle laid down Iv Mr. Huskisson, that if they wished to improve trade they must admit competition, and the worst thing they could elo,'rinieiii%drwiaoluld p etiteagl e r;e r e . ) 1V inflict upon Cononesse Iris to caulk it up or to bolster it up by protection. The Hon. Cient l -•ernsu the Mem ber for the Tower Hamlets had asked how they could receneile it with their principles to prohibit slave grown sugar and yet 10 On* slave grown coffee and other arti cles ? H is Noble ifriendOppOite had stated the cab - an swer that could be given to the question. He said that he was against slavery, but that he should get all he could. He asked his Right Hon. Friend, although that might ,s4t;:sfe his mi n d and many of the , friends with whom he acted, silica' c4'4 l ye to (Teed with foreign Powers, how would he put that argument ? Let him go to the Brazils and ask them to admit the cotton of England, and the answer they would make him was, admit our sugar. He would say he objected to it as being the produce of slave labour. He would be ask e d in return where he got his cotton ? and his reply would be that he was a practical man, that he could not exclude cotton, but that he would exclude sugar, if possible.—(Cheers.) He believed an argument put in that way would only expose that coun try to the ridicule and contempt of that nation to whom the proposition was made. The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire had challenged him to show how he was giving encouragement at pre sent to the produce of slave labour. He accepted the challenge, and contended that if he sent a large quantity of goods to Brazil or Cuba, even although they were paid for in the produce of those mines which had been referred to in the debates, and not in sugar, still if they sent that sugar into foreign countries, it came to the same thing.—(Cheers.) It reminded him of the story he heard when a boy, of the cherry orchard, where a number of children seeing a large supply of cherries in an orchard, and not having money wherewith to purchase them, they set about planting straw, which they sold to another party, and then they went and purchased the cherries. So that whether their goods were paid for in money or in slave-grown sugar, the encouragement to slave labour was just the same. These were the prin ciples of Mr. Huskisson, and they we re th e principles of common sense, although he admitted they were not the principles of the Noble Lord.—(A laugh.) He would now take the article of refined sugar, the produce of Brazils or Cuba, which they exported to the West In dies. Did the Noble Lord mean to tell him that that was not an encouragement to slave labour ? It came to the very same thing as if they allowed the introduction of so much Brazil sugar into England ; and it appeared to him that the attempt to shut it out was only making the matter a little more round about. Although he had troubled the House at some length„ there was one point he wished to allude to as related to his own peculiar department. He was taunted with having introduced a Budget founded upon a different principle from that of last year, and he admitted that his Hon. Friends had had some difficulty in defending him. Now he submitted that he was neither entitled to the accusation, nor did he entirely acce pt th e d e f ence of his friends. When he considered the financial state of the country last year, lie could not' conceive for him self that, independently of the difficulty of obtaining an additional revenue, he had to look to the strong feeling on the subject, which, however wrongly, had spread itself at home and abroad, viz., the im pression that no Ministry could raise, and no House would vote, additional taxation.—(Hear, hear.) The people of this country, foreign nations, and the friends of England abroad, as well as enemies (if such she had), were to learn that whatever party might be in power, whatever change might be made in the repre sentative system, there existed a spirit and a determina tion in this country to protect the public honour and in terest of the nation at large. Perhaps, not as a political economist, but as one anxious for the general interests of the country, he (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) had the honour, under those circumstances, to bring forward a measure of direct taxation, and put an end to that which he considered one of the deepest calamities which could attach to a country. When he came a second time to consider those circumstances— when he found that they were called upon .to have re course to the country to raise additional means of meet ing the public exigencies, relieved as he was from the consideration which weighed with him on the former occasion, he determined on that course which he now recommended to the House, and which he believed was infinitely preferable to the course formerly adopted. He had endeavoured to find out, but without success, what after all were the opinions of the opposite side of the House on the present question. It was the duty, not only of Government but of that House, to provide some mode.of meetirn , the financial difficulti e s in w hi c h t h e nation was involved. 6 He ventured to propose a means by which he believed the revenue would be increased without laying additional burdens upon the over-taxed people of this country. He proposed a scheme which did not pay attention to the interest of particular classes. He ventured to consider the general interest, and if they thought he was wrong let them tell him what course they would pursue.—(Opposition cheers.) lie was aware— he saw from the course of the debate, that that was the very question from which Honourable and Right Ho nourable Gentlemen opposite would shrink.—(Minis terial cheers.) When Mr. Huskisson was in that House, without being a member of the Government, and disapproving of the financial measures of the Government of the day, he had the manliness to tell not his particular measure, but the line Of conduct which he thought ought to be pursued on the occasion. When Earl Spencer was, with a small and hopel ess m i nor i ty on the other side of the House, opposed to the Government of the day, he had the frankness to state the financial course which he thought it desirable to pursue. When Lord Ashburton made his comments on the finances of the country his noble relative (to do him juWee) always stated his opinion boldly and openly. There existed a great party in that House, the Budget had been brought forward, and for a whole week they had been in discussion—(Opposition cheers)—and he de fied friend or foe to tell what the principles of that (the Opposition) party were.—(Ministerial cheers.) He defied them to tell him what was the course which they were inclin ed to pursue. But he should say there was one Gentleman, the Hon. Member for Stamford (Sir G. Clerk), who had entered into a financial budget—who talked a great deal upon principles of finance—upon disturbing causes—for one whole hour, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) listened to that Hon. Gentleman telling what were his views, and if in one sentence there could be by any means, any glimpse of his mean ing caught, the next sentence would completely do away with the impression made by the former, He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could perfectly under stand that that was suited to Hon. Gentlemen opposite. He could understand that it was extremely good policy on their part that nothing should be said which could enable one to tell what was the course they adopted, or pretended to adopt, on the present occasion, But that policy was not the old mode of proceeding, and would not answer the people of England, The fair mode in which the public business had been car ried on was by both parties stating before the House and the country their principles, and asking the country whether they approved of one or of the other. I have been taunted (continued the Right Hon- Gentle man) for being a plain spoken man. Whether intended as a sneer or a compliment I cannot in either sense re turn the compliment,--(Cheers.) I ask you for infor mation, not such as was wrung from me last year, and which was inconvenient to the public service, and which you refused, upon the motion of the Honourable Mem ber for Harwich ; but I ask you what course you purpose to pursue. You are called upon, the House is called upon—for It is the duty of the House to find se curity for the public faith, and sufficient means for carry ing on the public service—and I ask you, if you are pre pared to reject this proposition, what mode you propose to effect this object ? I ask you, not whether you are prepared with immediate taxes, but are you prepared, in prefernce to this course, to adopt taxation ? I propose a course by which I propose to raise a sufficient revenue i without imposing additional taxes—are you prepared, if you reject my proposition, to impose additional taxes ? P?'ellose a course by which we shall open new markets to the sabring trade and industry of the country. I ask, are you prepared to declare to the country, if you reject these principles, that you will not try others of a ditibrent character ? I propose to give you an opportu nity, I hope; of uniting with foreign Powers in commer ciol intercourse, which, after all, is a stronger bond than any that uty Right Hon. Fri en d, w i t h a ll hi s ta l ents, i s able to maintain. I ask you, are you prepared to declare to foreign Powers that you will not abandon any prohibi tion or monopoly—that you will insist upon their taking our goods, but will ad m it nohe of theirs ? I know you will give no answer. I know that the Right Honourable Gentleman (Sir Robert Peel) never displays his talents more than when he makes an able, valuable, and implartiana ssppceh„ bitt rendered more particularly able yal~}t}hle, and - important, by not stating Ile intends to do.----(Loud cheers.) I know be will tie especial care not to commit himself on this occasion. The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, differs widely from the Right Hon. Baronet in caution and concealment ; no one can hp lads accused of either quality, but even in Ilia spoeeli, I defy you to find any sentellop whiolt a principle is laid down that i 4 not overthrown by the sentence that succeeds it, (Cheers.) Sir, whatever may be the fate of the motion before the House, lam not ashamed, and shall not for a moment regret having laid these principles open bef ore the eountry,-(Hear, li - ear.) Whether the country may feel that those who brought them forward should carry them into execution, or whether we shall have to give effect to them in other hands—whether we shall have exhibited the honest and nohle and generous course pointed out by the Hon, Member for Kilmarnock, of not attacking those great monopolies in a body, but one by one—whether if this is to take place,and upon the opposite benches I shall have to support these self-same namkwes, one by one reluctantly admitted by those who now array all their strength in opposition tq them,. is to me com- PertilYely R Platter of Indilibreneo provided that eventu ally they are carried into ofibet.—(Lond cheers.) Sir E, KNATCHIVULL moved that the Debate be ad journed till Monday.—Agreed to. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House Adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of May 14.) SUGAR.—The opinion having become more prevalent that Ministers will be defeated on the measure for the admission of Fo reign Sugar for home consumption, and of which there is every prospect, have'further strengthened the confidence of holders of all sorts admissible for home consumption, and have caused buyers, of West India Muscovadoes to come forward with increased freedom this week ; for both grocery and refin ing purposes there has been an excellent demand, the quantity disposed of by private treaty during the three market days has amounted to 1,600 hhds and trs being greater than has been the case for many weeks, and purchases would have been on a more extended scale if the market had been better supplied; prices have further advanced, and now rule 2s above those of Friday. Antigua of fine yellow quality has been disposed of at 725, middling to good middling from the same island and Jamaica 65s to 663 : Demerara middling 64s to 65s ; Trinidad rather inferior 62s to 63s 6d ; St. Lucia low middling 62s ; Demo, rara low greyish brown 60s, besides the above quantity, MO hhds New Barbadoes were disposed of readily at public sale on Tuesday Is above former ratee, low middling yellow went at 64s to 655, middling 67s to 68s, good middling and good 69s to 70s 6d and fine 71s to 71s 6d per cwt. To-day a good desire was evinced on the part of the trade to purchase both brown and yellow qualities of British Planta.. tion, but buying was rather restricted owing to the small supply at market, and buyers were compelled to pay rather higher rates, making the advance for the week 2s to 3s, and the quan tity sold 2,250 hhds andtierces ; at the close ai the:market few brokers had any Sugar remaining for sale. REFINED.—To-day the home trade . purchased freely of Re fined Goods, and prices further improved; sales of Standard Lumps were made at 93s 6d. Crus; de d is in request, but few par cels to be had. Loaves have been taken more freely, and prices are firmer, sales of 10 and 141bs made at 34s to 36s per cwt. MA uantus.—This afternoon the biddings were spirited at the public sales, which consisted of 7,831 bags ; nearly the whole found buyers at full former rates, indeed in some cases prices ruled rather higher ; low to fine yellow went at 62s to 70s 6d, middling to fine brown 57s to 61s, very ordinary dark 44s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—For Bengal there has been a good demand by private trr...aty from the home trade, but the advance paid upon former rates has not exceeded Is per cwt ; at auction, 3,821 bags were all disposed of with fair spirit, fine white went ers 6d to 68s 6d, good 66s to 66s 6d, good middling 64s 6d AO 655, middling 63s to 645, low to good middling yellow tiOs to 62s 6d, fine brown 595, damps and washed of various sorts 58s 6d to 67s per cwt.

COFFEE.—The demand has been limited by private treaty for clean descriptions of British Plantation Coffee this week, the uncertainty that exists as regards the duties, some parties being of opinion that an alteration will be made ere long, others that no change will take place this year, cause the trade to operate with caution and to take only sufficient to supply their imme diate wants, holders however are firm and still supply the market sparingly. This afternoon the market was quiet for East and West India sorts, and by private treaty but few purchases were made, holders however for the most part were firm, and but few par cels are pressing for sale ; at auction 80 casks 934 bags Cora_ pany's Java imported from the Cape were offered and all taken in at 62s to 66s for good ordinary pale quality, being the full TIC ue. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLAN DS .—Th e R ura market con finues to wear a dull aspect, and although 'guilders of West India have submitted to a reduction on last week's rates of to Id per gallon, still bath shippers and the home trade have purchased with much caution, and the total sales since this day week have been only 150 puncheons : for proof Leewards 2s Is a 2s lid were accepted, 5s 2d to 53 8d for Jamaica 30s to 36s over, and 6s 2d to 6s 6d for good and fine marks.

Importers evinced firmness, and the trade were also more disposed to operate. For Black Tea there was a good demand, and the principal part of such found ready buyers ; Congou fetched full mar ket rates, the supply was most l y o f excellent quality, but f o r Green Tea the biddings were rather languid, and prices gave way /d to Id for Twankay and Hyson.
