After all the sacrifices that the Company were required to make, in his opinion th. y were entitled to have their di vidends properly secured. He dissented from the amend. ment tl.at was before the Court. It might be from long association, having from boyhood been connected with the Company, but there was no pecuniary sacrifice that he would not make rather than see the government of India pass into other hands. Mr. BURNEY said though he considered the China trade as gone, he could not but say that the Company should press upon the Government not to deprive them of all their stock, &c., without giving them an adequate compensation. Mr. TUCKER would deny that there would be any one to be found to take up the Silk Trade after the Company, and a gi:od supply of that article was necessary to enable the manuracturers of this country to compete with those of France. He concurred with those who thought that the Company should not run a race of competition with the private trader, and on that account he thought the Com pany entitled to have their exclusive privilege for a short time, in order to wind up their affairs. He hoped the question would be settled to-morrow, as they appeared ail once more to have got into good humour. Dr. BRICE moved that the debate be adjourned till Thursday, which was agreed to.

BARCLAY'S COMMITTEE would have allowed the foul aspersions thrown upon them by Mr. J. J. Wright at a Dinner given to Mr. Alderman Thompson, on the 9th in-tant, to pass unnoticed, as this person's practice of alternately praising and calumniating every party in the town arid state is sufficiently wet; known in this neighbourhood to reader his vituperation here perfectly harmless.—But the knowledge that his inane abuse has been noticed by the press of the metro polis, where its antidote, acquaintance with the character of the man, does not accompany it, induces them to give a formal contradiction to certain of his statements. It were endless to quote all the false and infamous passages in this person's speech, as reported by different newspapers; but they feel it due to themselves to declare, that Cie following statements contained in it, which the speaker has thrown into the form of interrogatories, are entirely devoid of truth. He asks, " Have we not heard of threats, menaces, and intimidations ? have we not heard of notices to quit threatened on tenants ? have we not heard of custom with drawn and custom promised? coals forbidden to be sold to certain individuals, and quick turns premised to others? have we not seen the agents of a Noble Lord drag the electors to the poll like sheep to the slaughter ? " —Mr. Barclay'a friends give a decided negative to all these interrogatories, and dare the calumniator to the proof, with a firm conviction that the characters of their opponents would not issue pure from a like examination. The Committee take ►eave further to remark on the pas sage which imputes to them the attempt to induce per sons, who had signed the requisition to Alderman Thomp son, to violate their engagements, " thus tempting them (to use the wards of Mr. W.) to commit an act of moral profligacy that makes the mind of every honourable man shudder to contemplate," that signatures to the Requisi tion had been obtained on such various conditions, not ful filled—such as that a worthy Baronet was to be raised to the Peerage, that there was to be no contest, &c.—whilst, in no ascertained case had the real object, the system of agitation, by which Captain Barrington was to be driven from Parliament, been honestly avowed, that the " shud der " of the honourable man would be elicited only by the mancouvres by which so many electors were meanly entrapped. Mr. Barclay's Committee suggest to Alderman Thomp son whether the general tenor of his own speech is con sistent with that passage of it in which lie disclaims the wish to keep alive any unkind feeling called into existence by this contest? They would -ask whether individuals who have long held a high rank in the esteem of the in habitants of this neighbourhood, should be subjected to the unmerited sarcasms of a comparative stranger e Lord Durham's reputation has long been public property ; and be has passed through the ordeal unsullied. Sir Iledworth Williamson'e public life has been of shorter duration ; but whilst it has lasted it has been unim peachahle. Mr. Thompson has the best wishes of this Committee, that his Parliamentary career may be as pure as that of the individuals to whorn he has imputed intentions of which they are incapable. His lamenta tion over the honour of the legal profession, called forth by the circumstance of Mr. Barclay's law-agents hav ing polled for that gentleman—a lamentation echoed by one of his " constitutional advisers," a Mr. Proud— ought to be considered rather as a proof of his own igno• ranee of the practice of elections and of the law on the subject than of the heinousness of the offence. The prac tice is by no means unusual, and was observed by Mr. Bell's law-agents in the recent contest for the Southern Division of Northumberland. Mr. Barclay's Committee had nothing to do with the surcharges to which Mr. Thompson refers, nor had Go vernment. They were imposed by the local authorities, in the ordinary course of business, indiscriminately on the supporters of both parties. The Honourable Member de clares his intention of bringing this case before the House of Commons. Nothing would give Mr. Barclay's friends greater satisfaction than Parliamentary investigation of all the circumstances connected with this election. Sunderland, April 17th, 1833.

(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR.—There was an uncommon firm market for Sugar iast week, and at the close of business the estimated sales were about 3,000 hhds. and trs. ; the prices of every description of Sugar were a shade higher, and coloury descriptions so de cidedly so that on the latter we quote an advance of 6d. a Is. per cwt. on Tuesday's prices. The prices of Muscovades are fully supported to.day, and for coloury the holders are still asking higher prices, but the trade is not brisk. The estimated sales this day are about 900 Mids. and trs. The Barbadoes Sugar, 140 hhds., sold at full prices. The Refined Market was 6d. a Is. per cwt. higher last week, and at the improvement there were rather extensive transactions; Crashed Sugars were purchased freely at 205., since which the holders have been ask ing a further advance of fxl. a Is., which has checked the re. quest, and Lumps are not now to be purchased under 613., and few goods offer at that rate. There is no alteration in Refined Goods this afternoon. The market is firm. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—In East India Sugars there was little alteration in price, but the market was more firm; some considerable parcels of Siam and Manilla sold at full market prices. MAURITIUS SUGAR.—The public sales of Mauritius Sugar on Friday, nearly 10,000 bags, went off at a further ad_ vance of Is. per cwt. on the prices of Tuesday ; the improvement was general ; brown Sugar 495. This day's public sale, 4,291 bags Mauritius, chiefly sold at 48s. a 545., some proportion was taken in. The market is firm, but without the briskness of last week. FOREIGN SUGAR.—It was reported that considerable parcels of Ilavannah Sugar have been taken off the market privately at rather higher prices, strong good white at 30s. and 315., and some yellow at 245. a 255. 6d.; low to good white Pernams 245. a 255. 6d.; good white Bahia at 235. Average price of Sugar, 1/. ss. 3 IA d. per cwt. COFFEE.—The prices. of British Plantation Coffee advance in a very extraordinary manner, particularly the Jamaica de. scriptions, which are mostly used for the home consumption ; the rise is fully 2s. on the improvement we stated on Tuesday last; good and fine ord. selling at 86s. a 90s. Foreign and East India Coffee have sold in large parcels at rather higher prices. Ceylon has been particularly inquired after for the home con. ' sumption at the duty of 9d. per lb.; the sales of good quality are at 565. and 575. ; Mocha, formerly at 685., sold in parcels at 745. ; Sumatra sold at 50s. a 525. ; St. Domingo, good quality, Ms. ; Brazil at 565. ; and fine fine ord. Cuba at 70s. This day's public sales, 196 casks and barrels, 103 bags British Plantation, Ja maica and Demerara, sold at full prices, except the unclean, which sold lower ; 97 bags damaged Brazil 505. 6d. and 51s. The Coffee market is steady. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The chief pur chases of Rum continue confined to the strong descriptions of Jamaica of inferior quality and flavour, 2s. 7d. a2s Bd. ; very few purchases of Leewards are lately reported. Brandy con tinues dull at the late reduced quotation. Geneva still nominal. TA LLO W.—The Tallow market, which has been advancing for some time past, on the report that a reduction would take place in the duty on Soap, had a further rise last week on the confirmation of the rumour ; it is very heavy at the advancca quotations. COTTON.—The Cotton market continues steady ; the late purchases are at very full market prices, but no general im- provement can be stated in the currency. COCOA.—British Plantation Coco:: continues in good de mand for the home consumption of the country; 735. and 735. 6d. is still paid for fine quality. I: °reign is neglected; Brazil about 21s. a 235. nominally. fhis day's public sale, 100 bags Grenada Cocoa, 60s. a 68s. SPICES.--Pepper has been sold in considerable parcels 3?sd• a 3 d. ; mid. to good Pimento 4?, d. a 4 d. ; Cassia has again fallen 2s. a 3s.—large sales at 735. ord. up to 78s. for good quality. This day's public sales, 600 bags Pimento sold at for mer prices, 4 1 ,g d. a 4 Sdd.; 700 chests Cassia Lignea '73s. a 765. 6d., former rates. SAGO.----At public sale tbis day 89 chests mid. Pearl Sago sold at 255. 6d. a 265. 6d. OlLS.—Fish Oils a•e a shade lower, owing to several lots of South Sea Oil being brought to public sale and more adver tised. in Linsee•,i Oil the purchases for export have been very extensive during the last week ; the recent parcels of Linseed arriving has perhaps for the moment prevented any advance in Oil, but a continued export demand must cause further ad vance before the new Seeds can come in. Rape and Olive Oils are firm at last week's prices. ASHES.—Ashes are a shade higher, and more doing in them. TURPENTINE—No fresh arrivals of rough, or sales ; the drawers are asking snore for Spirits, owing to the advance in the Liverpool Market. WOOL—The public oak§ of AU week cougotell of 1,000 SALTPETRE. —Saltpetre is again Is. a 2s. higher. At public sales 33s 6d. and 345. paid for 4 ti refraction ; Com pany's refined, 355. The highest price of British refined yet paid is 365., but it is now quite out of the usual proportion. RICE.—In Rice there is no alteration ; very ord. Bengal, Ils. 6d. up to 13s. for mid. quality. FRUlT.—Fruit is little inquired after ; there is some little demand for Red Smyrna Raisins for export. TEA.—The Market is very firm ; there is more demand for Congous, and in most cases at a halfpenny per lb. premium. INDIGO.—The result of the East India Company's sale of Indigo, which commenced on the 16th inst., and closed yester day :—The quantity declared for sale was 4,733 chests, of which 2,396 chests were Company's ; the whole presented the follow ing assortment :-73 chests Bengal, very fine shipping qualities; 456 ditto ditto good to fine ditto ; 1,708 ditto ditto mid. to good ditto ; 1,890 ditto ditto good consuming to mid. shipping ditto ; 368 ditto ditto ord. to good consuming qualities ; 204 ditt• Madras, mid. and good ; 34 ditto Kurpah, or made on the Bengal principle; 20 ditto Manilla. The sale commenced with the Company's marks, which, as will be observed, corn. prised half the sale, and being taxed as customary at 15 to 20 per cent. below the Market price, were left without support ; they sold at an average of 4s. id. per lb. The biddings through. out the sale were animated, and the prices paid the first day were fully supported to the close. The rise may be thus quoted :—Good and fine shipping Bengal, 2d. a 4d. above last sale, middling and ordinary ditto, 3d. a 6d. above last sale, con. sumers 3d. a 6d. above last sale, and Madras last sale's prices to 2d. over. Of the entire quantity brought forward it may be computed that about 1,200 chests have been taken on speculative account, about 600 chests by the home trade, about 700 chests for the Russian Market, and, with the exception of about 300 chests, consisting chiefly of mid. to good Bengal, retained by the proprietors, the remaining quantity for different parts of the Continent.

(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) After a discussion, in which the Chairman, the Deputy- Chairman, Mr. Randal Jackson, Mr. Astell, and Mrs Weeding, took part, on the point of order, Mr. Hunts moved his re,olutiuns as an amendment to those of Sir Joh❑ Malcolm. Mr. RIGBY seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN inquired in what character the amendment was to be put ? Mr. R. Jacxsox said he was empowered by Mr. Hume to say that neither he nor his friend would ac cept of the condition put on them by the Directors, viz., to move only by way of addition. The CHAIRMAN said he had only proceeded on the in variable rules of the Company, as laid down in :lit their records, and the Court had already apreed that all the words in the original resolution should stand part of the question. Mr. WIGRAM (Deputy Chairman) protested against the reception of the Hon. Member's amendment. The concluding paragraph of the original resolution embodied in spirit the whole of that proposed by the Hon. Member. Mr. CUTLER FiSRGUSSON said it was most important that every proposition made by the Proprietors should re ceive the beat attention. He considered that there was nothing now in the question to prevent the amendment from being put.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Upon a question at such great magnitude it should be tried whether there was no way of getting rid of forms which would shut out discussion, The CHAIRMAN said he was bound by the usual forms and could not alter them. He would therefore submit a motion to the Court which would clear the way for the proper conduct of business. The motion was whe ther the Court would receive the amendment, a course which was at variance with all former Courts. After a few words from Sir CHARLES FORBES, and Mr. WEEnow, the motion was put and carried, amongst much confusion, the latter part having been struck out. Mr. Hu me ' s resolutions were then read. __ . . Mr. CHAPMAN thought that the Company ought long ago to have allowed the private traders to go to China) but he could not for one give his consent that the Com pany should not continue that trade in competition with other merchants. Mr. REEVE denied that the statements as to the price of teas in England and on the Continent, which were laid on the table of the House, were correct. In an open trade the quality of the teas would be deteriorated. When two or three American ships arrived in China, the price of tea rose very rapidly ; then what would be the effect of fifteen private ships going there for tea. Then what was China to do in the case ? Was she, a trading nation, likely to deal better with new merchants than with an old tried and honourable customer ? China was like no other known country.

I Half Quartern Lord POLTIMORE presented about 40 petitions pray ing for the abfilition of slavery. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition from the Wesleyan Methodists of a parish in Antrim, praying that the negroes might be allowed Christian worship. The Bishop of SALISBURY presented a petition from the clergy of Sarum against the Irish Church Reform Bill. Lord WESTERN presented various petitions for the abolition of slavery. Also a petition from St. John's, Southwark, against the house and window tax. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Crawley, in Sussex, praying for the abolition of colonial slave/ y. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from the counties of Essex and Herts, complaining of the present Beer Act. He took this opportunity of saying that it was the duty of a Christian Government to take some mea sures with respect to the gin shops, which were as great evils as the beer shops. . . The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition from the members of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, complaining of the numerous evils arising from the state of Smithfield Market, and pray ing that thay might be looked into. It was rather extraordinary that the principal cattle market in the me tropolis should be seated in the very centre of the t•wn, and should be so limited in extent, as not to provide accom modation for the cattle necessary for its consumption. It was reached by long and narrow thoroughfares, through which the cattle were driven, and necessarily urged on by the blows of their drivers. The members of the society had endeavoured to carry into execution the taws which existed for the prevention of cruelty towards animals, but it was hardly possible that occasional punishment could strike at the root of the evil. The object of the peti tioners was to call the attention of the House to these great nuisances, and for remedying which they had suggested a very feasible and practicable plan. They suggested the removal of the cattle market to the outskirts of the metropolis, and the substitution of slaughterhouses to be under the inspection of the authorities, for the cellars and other places in which the cattle were now despa , ched. These abattoirs would prevent those disgusting scenes which now took place, for after the cattle were sold at the market they had to be driven through the narrow and crowded streets of the city to the cellars and other places, where, instead of being imme diately killed, they were kept for a considerable time. He was quite sure if a system were proposed which gave to the slaughterhouse keepers the same benefits which they bad from their present system, there would be no ohjection in that quarter to any alteration. The Right Hon. Prelate moved that the petition be printed. The Bishop of BRISTOL supported the petition. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from Dumfries, praying that slavery might not be abolished with out due compensation. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented petitions against the Beer Bill, and for the better observance of the Sabbath. , xv • 7 1 ((7 rs v e, • Noble Lord the namaity of attending 'faro prayer of the petition. Lord ALTHORP said that be had not conailifellyi ••••••• - the taxes left on were all desirable, but he had taken o those which appeared to him to be most necessary to be taken off. With regard to taking off the insurance duty on farming stock, and leaving that on shopkeepers and traders, it would have been certainly very difficult for him to have male such a proposal to the House. He was aware that the insurance on farming stock yielded no very large sum, but he could not take it off without taking off that on all insurances, which would have made so large a sum as to have made it impossible to have taken off other taxes. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE—On a former occasion he Asa] said f y l e tL er F d O v ß r t p ex ec p t l i a n i advocate any te other the r repeal f eal the t dp h ilit e tdrgi N ise o dt b o le thada Lord bad said that he saw no reason the reason, when w h ag en ricu h l e tu a r d a m l inte r est itteiith e a h t on t l h d e be fa r r e m li e e r v s ed w i e n ts prefe rencemore to others, but last night he gave a very sufficient g n ed t a e o c c corporatio n r t p h m o e u ra n i n t . , of t m i sunderst anding he Le h i o c o f e p s , r trh. et t a b s e sess p e e d opl t e axeli expected that Mr. COBBETT wondered, when 300 Members were not mo o r n e e othuetnof was s n o i a et e e , rs and th t a h t e whole number bad got up to tell hie Majesty's Mi contained in that miserable Budget. He would t-11 them that the people did expect more.—(Hear, hear, bear.) They expected the whole of the malt tax to be taken off. The price of barley was now about 20s. per quarter, and the tax was 20s. Sri., but neverthea less the price of a quarter of malt was 60e., and all be , cause the Ministers were obliged to add 20s. to the price of the article on account of the restriction a it was placed under. It the whole of the duty were taken off, malt would be sold at 20s. per quarter, fur the increase of malt would always pay the expense of malting. Unless this was done there would be no satisfaction to the coun try. The people would despise the Reform Rill, and the consequences of reform altogether, and would be ashamed of them unless the malt tax was taken off. That tax wet productive, in the first place, of driving persons front farm-houses ; secondly, it produced all the mischiefs that resulted from beer shops. One Hon. Member who bad given evidence before the Committee had stated that every person in his neighbourhood used to brew their own beer, but at the present time they did not do so unless he gave them the malt. When that report was read to the House there wei"not one of the 658 Mem bers attempted to say a word upon, the subjec., though it was of far more importance fhan the preservation of the game of Hon. Members.—(Hear.) He trusted that the House would look to and require the abolition of such taxes ; as to the reduction which had been proposed, they would not lighten the burdens of the people a penny. He did not know whether be should be in order in doing so, but be wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite, when the Bill would come on with respect to the Savings Banks, as lie thought it was a measure that ought not to be brought forward without due notice, affecting, as it did, 290,000 working people, and contemplating, as he was afraid, serious consequences to them. Lord ALTHORP stated that it swirl for to-day, but he should not press it if the Hon. Member wished to make observations upon it. Mr. ROSE brought up the names of those Members who had been balloted to try the validity of the election for the town of Galway. Mr. HEATHCOTE hoped he might be allowed to put a question to his Noble Friend below him, without in curring the displeasure of the Hon. Member for Oldham. —(Hear,) What he wished to know was, whether the abatement which was to take place in the window tax in houses to which shops were attached, was to be ex tended to farmers in respect of the windows of any rooms in which seeds, or any thing of that sort, were kept. This would be but a small relief; however it was what was very much desired by the farmers. Lord ALTHORP replied in so low a tone as to be nearly inaudible. He was understood to say he de clined entering into any particulars until the subject was fully under discussion before the House. Mr. O'CONNELL put a question to the Noble Chan cellor of the Exchequer, respecting the appointment of sheriff', and the corporation of Dublin. Lord ALTHORP'S answer could not be beard. Mr. CLAY recommended the Chancellor of the Exche quer, even with the small surplus which he bad in his hand, to make an experiment of reducing the duty on fire insurances. Lord ALTHORP was not prepared to follow the suggestion. Mr. HUME begged leave to :call the attention of the House to the salaries which, as he understood, had been agreed to be given to the medical and other members of that commission, who bad lately been nomi nated for the purpose of inquiry into the factory system. The physicians who last year were appointed to protect the public from cholera, only received 10s. a.day. Now he understooa the officers of this commission were to re ceive five guineas a day. If that were true, he consi dered the remuneration disproportionate and out of all character. There was an immense number of physicians, surgeons and inspectors on the half-pay list, of high cha racter, who were well capable of being employed on the present occasion, and which would effect a great saving to the country. He begged to ask the Noble Lord whether the sum he had stated wascorrect ? Lord ALTHORP replied, that for the purpose of preventing unnecessary delay, it bad been thought cape dient to give not a daily or weekly salary, but to propose a certain sum (200/.) to each medical and other commis sioner for the whole of the inquiry. Mr. HUME repeated his dissatisfaction at the arrange ment, and hoped the Noble Lord would reconsider the matter. SUPERANNUATION ALLOWANCES. Mr. HUME had a motion standing relative to the 67th Geo. 111. and 6th of George IT., empowering his Ma jesty to grant pensions for certain services ; but as he understood that the Noble Lord had some plan prepared on the subject, he begged leave to ask the Noble Lord for an explanation, as it might save him the trouble of bring ing forward his motion. Lord ALTHORP said his Majesty's Government had taken the subject alluded to under its consideration, and a Bill was already drawn to make a new arrangement as to the superannustions. Colonel DAVIES wished to know when the Bill would be ready ? The answer was not understood, bat the Gallant Officer and Mr. Hume both postponed their motions on the subject. Mr. HUNIE would, on the lit of May, submit a motion to the House relative to the right of Isis late Majesty, George IV. to grant a pension to Lord Dunghills. BRIBERY. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that, on going into a Committee on the Bribery Bill, he would move a reAoln tion, requiring every Member to take au oath that he bad not given any bribe. EXPLANATION. Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY moved that the order of the day be read for resuming the adjourned debate. Lord ALTHORP rose to make as explanation as to the expression he had made use of last night, that he, as an honest man, could not consent to the motion. The Hon. Gentleman thought that he meant to imply by that, that he (Mr. M. Attwood) was a dishonest man. He had no intention to apply the words in that sense, and could not have, for he must have applied them to many of his personal friends who supported the motion. Mr. ATTWOOD complained that the Noble Lord's speech of the night before was totally inapplicable to his motion, which was for an inquiry into the state of the country, to see how far its e►ils had been brought about by our monetary system. The Noble Lord had, however, spoken of his motion as if it were a motion for a Com mittee to alter the standard of value. The Noble Lord's arguments were all directed against depreciation, which the Noble Lord used as if he had proposed depreciation. He bad made no such proposition. His proposition was to inquire if they did not pewees some means of relieving the country, without committing injustice in violating the faith pledged to the public creditor.—(Hear, hear.) Why should the House and the country he forbidden to inquire into this question? The motion did not rest upon the footing it was put upon by the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, but en tirely and solely upon the circumstance whether the con dition of the country did not demand the attention of that House. Lord ALTHORP said the tendency of all the Hon. Member's arguments were what he had stated. The Hon. Member asked what was the meaning of his (Lord Altborp's) resolution? Nothing could be more remote from vague and indefinite than that resolution. It vi m * he thought, extremely precise. It said, .. that any siter'.'7 tion of the monetary system of the country, which wou ld tion highly inexpedient." have the effect of lowering the standard of value, wool language doubt the effect of that?

Therefore he had ;bought it his duty at ea howl matt e awl takiag into NEGRO SLAVERY. Lord SUFFIELD had 50 more petitions to present for the total and immediate emancipation o(tbe slaves.
