A full report of the Parliamentary Proceedings of the Evening up to a Quarter before Seven o'clock, containing the whole of the speech of Lord John Russell on the subject of the Sugar Duties, and the commencement of the reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. THIRD EDITION OF “ THE SUN." We have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggravated by an extra charge if a halfpenny (the Post os'ice fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The "Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, dz. dx.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the dose—and all other news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, Sc. ekc., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

Mr. MACAULAY understood that the objections to the proposition of his Noble Friend were upon a purely moral grounds; but he thought no such moral grounds existed as those which had been alleged in opposition to this proposi tion. If this moral ground existed, why did they continue the statute which prohibited the growth of tobacco by free-labour in the United Kingdom, while they took tobacco from the United States which was exclu sively the product of slave-labour, thus giving the monopoly of tobacco to slaveowners ? They proposed, ulso, to do away entirely with duty on slave-grown cotton. Slavery in the United States, more particularly in the breeding States, was more horrible and demoralising than it was in Brazil, and yet they took this slave labour produce of these men, who held themselves out as the apostles of the slave-trade, while they refused to take the pro duce of Brazil, which had abolished the slave trade by aw, and had conceded to us the right of search. The argument was untenable, and every com mercial and financial consideration was in favour of the proposition of his Noble Friend. He abhorred the system of slavery most sincerely, and had resigned an office which he had held under Lord Grey's Government, rather than support the system of apprenticeship. Sir J. GRAHAM confirmed the assertion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and passed a high eulogium upon him fur the disinterestedness of his conduct. The question involved considerations not only (if morals, but of finance, of commerce, of humanity, and justice, and as he was not prepared either to sacrifice the colonies or to encourage the slave trade, he felt bound to eppowe HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE Tins DAY. Morning .• 58 minutes after 4 I Evening •• 18 minutes after 5. mora] ,he motion. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. C. . - WOOD, Sir R. PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON, and Sir C. NAPIER, after which the House divided, and the motion was lost by a majority of 94, the numbers being—for the amendment, 142 ; against it, 236. The House adjourned at One o'clock. The resolution moved last night by Lord J. RUSSELL, by way of amendment on the Ministerial proposition re specting the alteration of the Sugar Duties, has been very carefully worded. Its terms either comprise or dis tinctly touch all the bearings under which the general application of such a proposition can be viewed. They declare-Ist., that this Ministerial plan professes to set up a distinction between foreign free-labour and foreign slave-labour sugar, which is vain and illusory ; 2d., that they aggravate the evil of the protection already given to the colonist at the expense of the consumer ; 3d., that they so tend to impair the revenue as to render the remova l of the income and property-tax, at the end of three years, extremely problematical indeed. Now it is diffi cult to say, with confidence, under which of these aspects the proposition impugned is the most objectionable. We have on former occasions directed attetion to the very defective machinery by which it was contemplated to ascertain this important element of the character of growth—whether free or servile. The public mind by this time seems pretty wall made up to the imperfect test which any " certificates of origin " can really sup- ply as to this matter. But there is a great economic error in the scheme of apportionment of duty, as between our own colonial and foreign free-labour produce. If it was thought right to encourage free-labour produc tion in foreign possessions, by admitting some portion of such sugars into the market of home consumption, from whence we have hitherto rigidly ex• eluded it—what must Le the inevitable result of bur dening it with a discriminating duty higher than that which is paid by our own West India sugars ? That the foreign cannot compete with the colonial commodity to any extent beneficial to the British consumer. Were the duty on our own colonial sugar reduced still more, the Public would benefit little by the resulting diminution of price, so long as the growth of foreign free-labour could only enter the market under the disadvantage of a much more than proportionate protection to our West Indian sugar, in the rate of the relative or differential duty imposed upon it. All that foreign free labour could pour into the horn e market, would fall far, very far short of the demand which would exist, were the home consumer fairly dealt by ; and we do not believe that, under the most favourable circumstances, the increased production of our islands, &c., will next year be so great as at all to fulfil the maximum expectations of Sir ROBERT PEEL. But how CAR either Sir ROBERT PEEL or Mr. GLADSTONE have gravely imagined that any de vice upon which they could hit, will ever pre vent the introduction and consumption of slave- grown, in the place of free-labour sugar ? And if they cannot ensure the entire and holiest working of their own principle, what becomes of the case for the specific new charges of duty suggested, or for resisting the just demands of the British consumer to have foreign sugar adiaitted at a duty much more nearly approximated to the duty on our colonial sugar than it has hitherto paid, or even than it is now proposed to subject it to, as to give him, the consumer, the benefit of a sensible, visible reduction of price ? The truth seems to be, that the " certificates of origin" will not be worth the paper on which they are printed, and the stamps that are to authenticate them. Let us pass over altogether the consideration of the facility and success with which " simulated papers," as they are called, can be at all times obtained, fur other purposes, in each of the ports where it is proposed to grant these certificates for sugar. Are there no States w hich possess, under treaties with us, a right to bring in their sugars under certain favourable rates ? True, there may be express exceptions in particular stipulations against the slave grown sugars of these States. But v. hat is to prevent them from importing from other States—which do no toriously employ, and perhaps exclusively, slave-labour — slave-grown sugars ; repacking, or otherwise preparing them in their warehouses, and then bringing them into our London or West India Docks, or into the Ports of Liver pool or Bristol, or Greenock, as veritable, genuine free labour grown ? And will the evil--(for we conscien tiously admit the extension of slave labour to be in itself an enormous evil, whilst we doubt if its eltirpability)— will the evil stop here ? By no means. The vacuum created in the supply necessary for the consumption of the countries which have re-exported this slavery-tainted sugar to us, will be supplied by the enforced increase of production in the slave states cf its original growth. We are now discussing the question of dicriminating duties only ; and are therefore not called upon here to enter into this larger and more serious part of the question, " how to reconcile the just and reasonable demands for cheap sugar of our highly-taxed British con sumer, with the progress of negro emancipation." It is enough to show with how much reason Lord J. RUSSELL denominates the attempted distinction of origin to be " impracticable and illusory." We have seen, that so far as regards the protection to our West India planter, which the discriminating duty levied on foreign sugars imported here, extends to him, it is, pro &at°, a grievous tax on the home consumer, and therefore an " evil." This evil might be alleviated, in his estima tion, if it could be shown that it carried with it undoubted tendencies to diminish the exten sion of slavery. But if, instead of these pro perties, the Ministerial proposition works rather to encourage the cruel practice of agrestic slavery, it is, as his Lordship forcibly puts it, an " aggravation of the evil," at his expense, who, of all the world, has made the noblest and most costly sacrifices to blot it out of the list of those fearful crimes which civilization, in some regions of the world, has not yet had courage or virtue enough to abjure and abandon The third defect imputed by his Lordship's amendment to the Ministerial plan, is, that it goes so largely to diminish the revenue, as to make it very doudtful whether, at the end of three years. the property and income-taxes can be removed—(as Government pretends to assume they will be). If, in our repeated protests against the tax thus indicated, we had wanted an argument to enforce our demonstration of its impolicy, its injustice, its terrible improvidence, this branch of the Noble Lord's resolution would have supplied us with it. Vote an income-tax, and the Mi nister will immediately set himself to consider, not so much what portions of the fiscal revenue can be re mitted with the greatest immediate advantage to the community at, large, and the least practicable disturb ance to organised interests, as those which may offer to his choice the most tempting aspects of an immediate popularity resulting from their repeal. Our own opinion is, that without the income and property-tax, continued as they are to be, by an unheard-of stretch of Minis terial influence on the one hand, and public credulity or apathy on the other, in the thirtieth year of profound peace, for three years to come, without those odious imposts the Minister would have been compelled to mature and carry through a far more large, sweeping, and 3c t productive measure of com mercial and fiscal reform, in the same direc tion, indeed, with the bold advances towards free trade, which the Premier must be allowed to have made,—but to a point much nearer that which it it is essential to the maintenance of the national pros verity should be attained. The difficulties that beset the isolated question of the Sugar Duties present an in structive lesson to statesmen on the danger of embark leg upon round abstract principles, and attempting then to trim their timid course upon them by half and ill assorted measures. The question fur the present, however, al. pears to be settled by the division of last night. The Minister had a large majority, and two motions on the subject have thus been disposed of. We fear the only remaining one will meet the same fate, and the public will thus be robbed of the advantages which they had been led to expect from the opening speech of Sir RO BERT PEEL. • Madrid journals of the 19th publish some particulars of the insurrection at Vittoria, which appears to have been of a purely military character. Some of them also mention that a Carlist conspiracy had been discovered at Burgos. The following appears in the Heraldo of tha 19th:—" Government received this morning a dispatch from the military authority at Vittoria, gibing the most minute details regarding the conspiracy among the troops of the garrison. Eight officers, several sergeants, corporals, anti soldiers, are prisoners, and will be tried directly. Immediate punishment will fall upon the guilty. Government received at the same time news of the discovery of a Carlist conspira.4 at Burgos." The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse on the 19th inst. at 32 13-16 for cash, and 331 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 234 fur cash, and 24k at 160 days ; and the Coupons at 26, for the 4th of March. On Monday the Secret Service Money Bill was pre sented to the French Chamber of Peers by M. Du- CIIATLL, the Minister of the Interior, who of course anticipated no opposition in that quarter. On intro ducing the Bill, he adverted to the decisive vote in the other Chamber, after a lengthened discussion, and said, " We considered it our duty on that occasion to call our selves for the discussion, the incidents of the debate on the Address having rendered it necessary. Before you, Messieurs, the same necessity does not exist, for not two months back you gave, by a large majority, after a solemn and mature discussion, your adhesion to the domestic and foreign policy of the Cabinet. We have a firm confidence that your sentiments have not changed ; but we are not the less ready to accept every discussion, and to give you on . every question the most complete explanations." On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies resumed the dis cussion on the Council of State Bill, which was strongly op posed by M. CREMIEUX. A long discussion took place in the Bureaux, or Committees, on the Great Northern Rail way Bill ; but as the majority of the Committee are favourable to the measure, it will :be carried with cer tain modifications. The penal enactments are objected to, as well as the clause which requires the deposit of thirty millions of francs. The Finance Minister said the Governnu nt had no objection to reconsider that clause. The Members composing the Committee are MM. DUPRAT, LUNEAU, GALLOS, BERRYER, CADEAU D'ARCT, ARDANT, LAUYER, MURET DE BORD, and GAR NIER PACES ; all of whom, with the exception of MM. G. PAGES and LUNEAU, are decidedly favourable to the Bill. Accounts from Berne and Zurich to the 20th instant had been received at Paris, but they add little to our previous information. General SONNENBERG, who has been appointed Commandant of the Lucerne troops, re viewed s: venal regiments on the 20th instant, and it is said some of the officers on the occasion threw up their commissions, as they could not take the required oaths to the Government. The Grand Council of Zurich came to the resolution of authorising the Executive Council to assemble such forces as might be necessary to protect the Diet during its sittings. Hopes were en tertained that the interference of the great Powers would prevent a cilil war. The French Funds again declined on Tuesday. The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 75c.; Ditto New Loan at 85f. 80c.; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 65e.; Orleans Railroad Shares at 1,195 f.; Rouen, 1,115 f.; Havre, 912 f, 50c.; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 61f. 75c.; Spa nish Three per Cents., 404 ; Ditto Domestic Debt, 33k.

RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL. On the order of the day for considering the Report of the Company's Clauses Consolidation Bill, Mr. HAWES said, that before the House went into Com mittee on the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill, he wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Granville Somerset) what the course was which he meant to pursue with respect to this BilL The Noble Lord was aware that he (Mr. llawes) entertained a very strong objection to the power exercised by the Board of Trade in the revision of railway projects. Now the 47th clause of this Act conferred these powers to a much greater extent than they had ever before been exercised. The discussion of that clause would natu rally open up an investigation of those powers, and he should take that opportunity to oppose this plenary jurisdic tion of the Board of Trade. His object, however, was not to impede the progress of the Bill in the Committee, and he theretore wished to ask the Noble Lord in the event of his ( Mr. Hawes) waiving his objections at present, what course be meant to take with respect to this Bill, and especially with respect to the powers to which he had alluded, and which to him and many others appeared so objectionable? Lord G. SOMERSET concurred in the observations of the Hon. Member. He admitted that the point to which he had been calling attention was one of very great importance, and that it would be well to have it discussed before a full House. But, considering the great importance of the financial questions that yet remained to be disposed of, and the deep interest the determination of them was to the trade of the country, he would ask would it not be better to get through the remaining clauses of the Bill with as little delay as possible, reserving the discussion upon those points which were more technical ones, to the time when the Bill should be reported upon ? Mr. FOX MAULE differed from the Noble Lord, and conceived it would be much better to discuss the merit of each clause as they went on, and dispose of it. The Noble Lord knew the House of Commons better than he (Mr. Fox braille) did, and therefore lie would not remind him that it would be almost in vain to expect this question to be dis cussed by it. Mr. AGLIONBY agreed with the Noble Lord. The sug gestions were mere technical ones, and could be easily made when the report was brought up. Lord. G. SOMERSET begg.-d to assure Hon. Members op posite that his lion. Friend the Vice-President of the Board of Trade had bestowed great attention on the alterations and amendments suggested; but they were all of a technical character, and could therefore be easily disposed of on the report being brought up. With regard to the clause affect ing officers refusing to make up their accounts, kc., he (Lord G. Somerset) proposed that bail might be taken by the magistrates. With respect to clause 120, on the subject of dividends, he had found that it admitted of no doubt in its construction, and therefore need not be altered. Mr. HAWES thought there was great objection to it. The clause provided that the capital stock of a company should not be disturbed. Now, how were they to determine what was and was not capital stock? fur unless this term " capital stock" were defined, he thought that great practical inconvenience would arise. He should therefore move that the words " by which their capital stock should be diminished," should be struck out. Mr. HAYTER said he thought it was not the intention of the Noble Lord to prevent the payment of dividends by any company who were realising interest on their paid-up capital. There was no absolute necessity for interpreting the clause in this way. If they were to strike out thesuch after the word " any," and before the word " dividends " in the preceding clause, the difficulty would be obviated. For instance, if 900,0001. had been paid up for the construction of a railway, he believed it was not the intention of the Noble Lord to prevent the Directors of a company from paying the interest accruing from this capital. Mr. GISBORNE said that the whole difficulty arose from the ambiguity in the term "dividends." Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said it was not the olliect of the clause to prevent the payment of dividends from the interest of capital, fur that he thought was legitimate ; but to prevent the payment of dividends out of the capital stock after the works were completed, and when no profits had been obtained. It was well known that many companies had gone on paying dividends out of their capital stock, as if they were in a mast flourishing condition. Ile did not mean to say that there might not be some special cases, but there would be in the several Acts out of which those arose special provi sions for them, and he did not think that the words should be. struck out on that account. His object was to prevent the practice which had been adopted by the com panies to whom he had alluded, who went on paying divi dends when, in fact, they had realised no profits, until their capital no longer existed. Mr. AGLIONBY said that he quite understood the Noble Lord meant the clause to apply to fictitious profits. But een the met. ewhichfir s t he se theh d case pu o t the o o o a t l h c e or mdp apital stocka a y n had not yet b they could consider the coal as part f the c the company.

But it must be recollected that this was a gene ral Act, and intended only to regulate other special Acts to be introduced hereafter. Those special Acts would provide for their own peculiar exigen cies, and he did not think that there was any difficulty a in le this g clause which might not b e readily adjudicated by tribunal. al Mr. GLADSTONE did not think there was more difficulty to be encountered in dealing with this clause than any other involving questions of commercial legislation; and it should be recollected that it had the sanction of long-continued pre cedent for its present shape. Mr. HAWES—As it had now b e en admitted on all hands that this clause required some amendment, he would divide the House upon it. • Mr. ENTWISLE—The object of the clause appeared to him to be, not to prevent the company from making divi dends, and applying their surplus fund otherwise than it should be, but to prevent them disposing of that fund to any other purpose than diminishing their liabilities. Sometimes a company purchased an estate through which their line was to run, and then they sold the remainder of that estate; and the object of this clause was to take care that the produce of that sale should be applied to diminishing the liabilities of the company. Mr. Hawes's amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. AGLIONBY said he had an amendment to propose which was so crudely and hastily drawn that he was not quite sure whether it would carry out the object which he had in view. His object was to enable parties under special circum stances to return a portion of their capital, or in other words, to diminish their capital stock, which the Right Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Gladstone) said was in many cases extremely desirable. The words which he proposed to add to the clause were :—" Provided always that the word dividend shall not be construed to apply to a return of any portion oft _____ -------- - _ __ _s.s.s. e 5,...

Nothing was more contrary to committed, thus flatly contradicting the prisoner's statement that his feeling. he had not left till eight.

He ceedings. (Mr. Hayter) conceived that this objection to the power to make a deviation was quite unnecessary, and likely to be mischievous. He believed that if any great engineer were called before them he would assure them that it was abso lutely required. Mr. GLADSTONE said, that he must confess that he felt much sympathy with those who objected to this clause, though he could not see on what ground they based their objection. The fact was, the clause, instead of extend big the powers of deviation, contracted them. The clause proposed three limitations ; in the first place, that they should not deviate from the lines marked down in the plans ; in the second, that the deviation should be according to the specifications, and in the third that the deviation should not be extended into the lands of persons whose names were not in the book. At any rate he was fear. ful that if the clause were to be altered more mischief would be occasioned than by adhering to it, and he was not prepared to take such a leap in the dark as was proposed by those who opposed the clause. He could not consent to the alteration without having some engineering - evidence to show them that these deviations were unnecessary. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR said that he considered the power to make these deviations essential, and to the extent spe cified in the clause, for in his county he knew that very great inconvenience had arisen to several parties from the obligation to abide by the black line on the plan. He felt, therefore, that it would be better to abide by the provisions of the clause as they then stood. Colonel - SIBTHORP said be felt bound to treat the obser vations of the Hon. Member for Wells (Mr. Hayter). un founded as they were, in the manner that they deserved. It would be welt for that Hon. Gentleman if lie bad shown throughout his Parliamentary conduct that disinterested ness which he hoped that he ever had evinced, and ever should evince ; and in spite of the unfounded observations which might fall from any Hon. Member within the walls of that House, he should not be deterred from prosecuting his humble opinions when he considered it his duty so to do, without any selfish motive or feeling whatever. He (Colonel Sibthorp) had no share in railroads. He would not condescend to ask the Ilonourable Member for Wells whether he had or had not—he did not care whether he had or not. He would simply say, once for all, that he threw back his imputations with the contempt which they deserved. Mr. HAYTER said he thought the expression used by the Hon. and Gallant Member was not one which, on reflection, he would be disposed to maintain, because it was wholly un deserved. As, however, be would be sorry to be out done by him in courtesy, - he would at once say that if he had used any language which the Hon. and Gallant Member considered to be personally offensive, he was quite willing to retract it. Colonel SIBTHORP said he had not the slightest objection to accept the explanation which bad been offered. Mr. AGLIONBY adhered to his opinion that the deviation of' one hundred yards was too much. Lord G. SOMERSET said that it was not to be expected that a general Act could provide for all particular cases and objections. The parties concerned in each measure ought to see that their interests were secured by a special enactment. The clause was then agreed to. On the reading of the 15th clause, Mr. AGLIONBY _was about to state objections to the clause, when Lord G. SOMERSET said, that as it was likely that the clause would be much discussed, he should propose that the Committee be adjourned for time present, that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again on Tuesday, at 12 o'clock.

It appeared that the plaintiff contracted, in 1637, to make nineteen miles of railway for the defendants, from Rugby to Leicester, which was to be ready, with the exception of the laying of the rails, by the Ist of May, 1840. A second contract was entered into, to the effect that the plaintiff was to have the rails all laid down, and the railroad ready for use by the Ist of June, 1841, the defendants supplying the rails. If the contract was trot performed in the specified time the plaintiff was to forfeit 3001. for every day after that on which the contract required that the railroad should be corn. pleted. It was alleged that the work was not finished till the 30th of June, and for this 7,500/., were kept back by the Com pany.

The houses, at the time of the purchase being made, were unfinished, and it was a part of the arrangement that they should be put into a tenantable state immediately. The agreement was entered into in January, 1844, yet up to July in the same year the contract had not been fulfilled, as regarded their fitness for occupancy ; while what work had been done to them was, according to the evidence, of a most inferior and imperfect character. The damages sought to be obtained were for the loss of half.a.year's rent consequent upon the agreement not being carried into effect, and imperfect workman ship. The action was undefended.

SECOND EDITION. arming( LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1845. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. W. P. CAREW took the oaths and his seat for East Cornwall. Several Railway and other Private Bills were brought in. Various petitions were presented. Among the notices of moti:m given, was one by Sir W. CLAY, on the order for the House going into Com mittee of Ways and Means, for an ad valorem duty on sugar, and one by Mr. WILLIAMS, that the reduction in the sugar duties should commence on the Ist of April. This announcement was received with shouts of laughter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that no allowance would be made to persons holding sugar in bond, if it were taken out before the reduction in the duty took place. Mr. COLLETT gave notice that be should move for leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate the dioceses of Bath and Wells, and Salisbury, on the demise of the pre sent Bishop of BATH and WELLS. Sir J. GRAHAM promised to inquire into the truth of the report, that it was customary in many of the Church. yards of the metropolis to disinter human bodies and burn them. On the order of the day being read for the House re solving itself into a Committee of Supply on the subject of the sugar duties, after a brief explanation from Mr. M. GIBSON, in relation to his statement on this subject made on a former evening, Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to move, pursuant to notice, " That it is the opinion of this House that the plan pro posed by her Majesty's Government, in reference to the sugar duties, professes to keep up a distinction between foreign free-labour and foreign slave-labour sugar, which is unjustifiable and illusory—aggravates the protection which is given to the colonist at the expense of the consumer—and tends so greatly to impair the revenue as to reader the removal of the income and property-tax, at the end of three years, extremely uncertain and improbable." The Noble Lotd said that, in considering the ques tion of the reduction of the sugar duties, the House should take care, in the first place, not to consent to any enactment of an inconsistent or contradictory na ture ; and, in the next place, that there should not be taken off from articles of commerce a greater amount of taxation than would be necessary for the purposes of the revenue, and, at the same time, to give to the West India grower such an amount of protection as may be requisite. He objected to the proposition of the Go vernment, because it professed to keep up a distinction, which he held to be impracticable, between foreign sugar, the product of free and of slave labour. There was no such distinction made as regarded coffee, cotton, or copper ere, the duties on all which articles had been dealt with by the present Government. It was impossible to keep up the dis tinction, for the void created by the withdrawal of free labour sugar from the markets of the world would be filed up by slave-labour sugar ; besides, in consequence of the existence of reciprocity treaties, we could not confine our importations from foreigners to sugar, the produce of free labour. In the case of Venezuela, this had already happened, and it was the general opinion that what had been imported as Venezuela sugar was, in fact, the produce of Porto Rico, Surinam, or Brazil. It was impossible to exclude slave-grown sugar by Custom-house regulations. Another objection he had to the measure was that it aggravated the protection given to the West India Colonies, This demand for protection was grounded on the fact that there was in these colonies a deficiency of labourers; but that argument only applied to Trinidad, Jamaica, and Demerara. The measure of the Government would. in fact, give a protection to the colonist of 14s. instead of 10s., and what was lost to the revenue could not be gained by the consumer. There would be a gain of ss. per cwt to the consumer, and 6s. per cwt. to the planter. A tax of 1,100,000/. would be imposed annually for the benefit of the planter. The Noble Lord then quoted a letter from the Rev. Mr. Kmun, to show that the negro labourer would not be benefited by the proposed re duction. He deprecated a large immigration of African labourers, as tending to uncivilise the existing race of Creole negroes, and contended that the continuance of the system of protection would, at no distant period. produce a convulsion in the West Indies, and put off to a distant period the general adoption of free-trade prin ciples. Besides, there were labourers in this country who were entitled to consideration, and all this addi tional protection was afforded at their expense. The sugar duties might be decreased without impairing the revenue, if this protection were reduced within proper limits. He thought the duties on cheese and butter, and various other duties on articles of consumption, might be advantageously reduced ; and all these reduc tions might be effected if the sugar duties were put upon a proper footing. The plan cf the Government diminished the revenue, not for the benefit of the country, but for that of a particular class, which formed only a small part of the population of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that there was a great distinction between sugar and those other slave-labour products to which the Noble Lord had referred, inasmuch as there was a greater waste of human life in the production of sugar, than in that of other commodities. At present, the sugar estates in Brazil were only half cultivated, but a reduction of the duty would so increase the profits as to lead to an increased importation of slaves. He admitted that slave-labour sugar, the produce of countries with which we had reciprocity treaties, could not be ex cluded. He denied, however, that Venezuela sugar could be considered as the produce of slave labour. The Noble Lord admitted that protection was necessary, and as long as that protection was continued, the difference in the duty between free-labour and slave-labour sugar could not affect the consumer, and if it could be shown, as he contended it could, that the admission of free labour sugar, in conjunction with our own colonial sugar, would more than meet the demand for the con sumption of this country, the West Indies would then occupy the position which they had occupied before the abolition of slavery, when no one thought of contending that the protection afforded to them operated as a tax upon the public. It did not so operate then, because the supply exceeded the demand. The admission of Brazilian sugar would lead to immediate cheapness. which would be followed by excessive rise of price. Besides, the people of this country had always expressed their wil lingness to submit to the necessary sacrifices for the abolition of slavery. The Right Hou. Gentleman then alluded to the great increase in the importation of slaves into our West India colonies, consequent upon the abo lition of slavery in St. Domingo, as a proof of what must follow from doing away with the differential duties betwen free and slave-labour produce. It was admitted universally that some reduction ought to take place in the sugar duties, and the measure of last year had been merely a preparatory one. The pro posal of the Government gave the consumer the benefit of the reduction to the extent of 1 r d. per lb. Ile thought the Government proposition infinitely preferable to a scheme of gradual reduction. Be_ admitted that it was impossible to foresee what might occur in three years, but still he thought that a judicious remis sion of duties would lead to such an increase of revenue as to give a fair prospect of the remission of the income tax at the end of that period. He opposed the propo sition of the Noble Lord as impolitic, inexpedient, and subversive of those principles for which they had so long contended. Mr. LABOUCHERE considered the attempt to draw a distinction between free-labour and slave-labour sugar most unsuccessful, and one which did not conduce to the interests of our own colonists. It would give rise to the perpetration of all sorts of frauds, and was not likely to be a permanent measure. Mr. GLADSTONE, although out of office, was willing to taankde incurredahl i l s o fv: fullwith t shareeh prrepropositions or o id f i t t it h oo e n tsh r l es i tus p d on d si o wb measure.inli t y by which had been theH e Noble deniedLeoarcdh. were r: ,h p i e le a , led, a stimulus underthe would present be lf the g d iv iff en eren t t o ial du sl t a i v es er m y • law, the introduction of Cuban and Brazilian sugar could never be a paying transaction. The West Indian planter was placed under disadvantageous circum stances, and was therefore entitled to protection, ant: if their interests were not so injured as to interfere with their power of production, they would eventually be ena bled to supply the whole of the demand of this country; ~~~ -.....: , .... , —.5.-.4 , -.9e,e - .-.;•. - ., , , , ,emenir'''"-'77 ,a ' '' 9"l.t MONEY and COMMERCIAL NVW- r 1 ell'i t , Q CARTER TO Til 171 , E.
