The question excited little interest out of doors, and its agitation was only calculated to perpetuate slavery, by exciting ill-founded hopes in the minds of the Cuban and Brazilian planters. 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 iu 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, also, 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 tuke the pro duce of Brazil, which had abolished the slave trade by law, and had conceded to us the right of search. The moral 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 bad 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 for the disinterestedness of his conduct. The question involved consideratiops not only of morals, but of finance, of commerce, of humanity, and justice, and as he was not prepared either to sacrifice the colonies or to'( ncourage the slave trade, he felt bound to oppose the motion. The House was ttbsequently 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 removal of the income and pkoperty-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 whick 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 well 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 be 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 such 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 home 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, &e., 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 intrcduction and consumption of slave- grown, in the place of free-labour sugar ? And if they cannot ensure the entire and honest 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 admitted 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, for other purposes, in each of the ports where it is proposed to grant these certificates fur sugar. Are there no States which 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 what 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 ea4irpabil4l) %sill 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. IVe are now discussing the question of eticritninating 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 tank, 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 d 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 &jure and abandon ! The third defect imputed by his Lordship's amendment to the Ministerial plan, is, that it g.es so largely to diminish the revenue, as to make it very doudtful whether, at the end of three years, the property and inecmc- taxt s 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 ant carry through a far more large, sweeping, and yet productive measure of corn tnercial and fiscal reform, in the same direc tion, indeed, with the bold advanees 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 perity 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 ing upon round abstract principles, and attempting then to tries, their timid course upon them by half and ill assorted ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHP ATRE.

The question for the present, however, ap. 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 the 19th:—" Government received this morning a dispatch from 'the military authority at Vittoria, giving the most minute details regarding the conspiracy among the troops of the garrison. Eight officers, several sergeants, corporals, and 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 conspiracy at Burgos." The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse on the 19th inst. at 32 13-16 for cash, and 334 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 234 for cash, and 244 at 60 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- CHATEL, 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 Derides 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 Government had no objection to reconsider that clause. The Members composing the Committee are MM. DUPRAT, LUNEAU, GALLOS, BERRYER, CADEAU D'ARCY, ARDANT, LAUTER, MURET DE BORD, and GAR NIER PAGES ; 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 several 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 civil 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. 65c.; 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, 331 THIS DAY'S NEWS. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. HAWES said that the treasurer ought not to be made responsible fur the whole of the debts of the company, whereas he knew nothing of their assets beyond the book account. The effect of the clause as it stood would be to deter from accepting the office of treasurer the class of per sons whom it was most desirable to have placed in that office. Lord G. SOMERSET said he would take time to considor the clause before the third reading. For the present he would withdraw it. _ Mr. GLADSTONE said, the clause had been introduced into all joint- stock companies' Bills for some years past. Mr. AGLIONBY—More shame for it.—(Great laughter.) Colonel SIBTHORP could not see why persons with pro perty, connected with these companies, such as the treasurer, should not be liable as well others, if from no other reason, for that merely of keeping them out of bad company.— (Laughter.) In fact, he looked upon all these companies as delusive, or very little better than humbugs.—(Laughter.) The remaining clauses were then gone through, and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Monday. RAILWAY COMPANIES CONSOLIDATION BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Clauses 12 and 13 having been read, Colonel SIBTHORP said he wished to call attention to the powers conferred by those clauses, and particularly to those in clause 14. He did not mean to say that anything that fell from so humble an individual as himself should be deemed worthy of being reported in the public papers—(A laugh)—but it was his wish that what he had to say upon this subject should go forth to the public.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to be understood as pro testing against these clauses altogether, but to some of them in particular, such as clause 14. He always understood that in residing in England he lived in a free land, where any man's property, be it small or large, was preserved to him, and his right to it recognised and respected ; and particularly the property of the poor man—(Cries of " Hear, hear")—for the invioliability of whose right he was more anxious than those of the rich, or than even of his own ; therefore, he should get credit for not having any selfish motive in his opposition to the clause, for his object was the public good. He admitted that the Board of Trade were an intelligent and even, he believed, a disinterested body ; but of what value would it be to a poor man, to have the power of appealing to them, when he had not the means of doing so ? and be sides, he looked upon the Board of Trade as in competent to decide such questions. The 14th, 15th, 16th, and on to the 20th clauses gave a company a power of devi ating 100 yards either to the north, south, east, or west, as they thought proper. Why, he would say, that this deviation would have the effect of render ing the property of many poor men totally valueless, and of completely annihilating that of others.—(Hear.) Many poor men had been driven from their habitations in disgust by those encroachments rather than resort to this appeal. And then, as to compensation, don't talk to him of such a thing. (Laughter.) There might be circumstances under which no compensation could be sufficient. He had in his possession pro perty that could not be taken from him, and that no amount of compensation could make amends to him for the deprivation of it by this sort of encroachment. But he would ask why should not the rights of the smallest cottager be as much respected as his ? (Hear, hear.) By whom was this power of cutting down a poor man's pro perty to be exercised? Whv, by Aorß or C, who had no consideration whatever for him ; and therefore he would pro test against such a power being given them. Talk of the despotism of the Emperor of Russia on the Dey of Algiers.— ( Laughter.) Why, they were respectable men in compari son.—(Laughter.) If this power of deviation was to be given, where might not the company deviate to ?—(Hear.) An Hox. MEsimat—They may deviate a thousand yards. Colonel SIBTHORP—Aye, or why might they not deviate ten thousand ? Oh, but then it had been said that the Company would purchase the land ; but then the treasurer might not have a balance in his hands sufficient to pay ; and he (Colonel Sibthorp) would tell that gentle man to take care how he trusted people.—(Loud laughter.) When the purchase-money was demanded, it might be said, "No assets—go to law."—(Laughter.) If this system be per mitted, then he would say England was no longer a free land, and her sun indeed had set.—(Hear.) In fact, no man in the country would be fool enough to buy property in the country so circumstanced. He felt assured that the Noble Lord near him would be the last man in the world toldo any man an injury; he was sitting here only in the capacity of a public officer, and therefore no blame attached to him. He (Colonel Sibthorp) knew how useless it was for him to expect that he would have any weight in this House ; but he would divide the House upon this ques tion, in order to record his vete upon it. Lord G. SOMERSET said the encroachments could not be made without the sanction of the proprietors and holders of the land. This, he thought, would remove the objection of the Gallant Gentleman behind him. Mr. AGLIONBY protested that there was great objection to the clause, and he only regretted that it had not been fully considered before it was introduced into former Bills. The present system of encroachment made by railway companies was most disgraceful. From the nature of the plans lodged by competing companies it was quite impossible for a farmer to recognise his land, even if he had an opportunity of inspecting them.—(Hear, hear.) He knew this from experience ; and not unfrequently the plans were purposely prepared to mislead the owners of land over which it was intended the line should pass. It was the duty of Parliament, there fore, to tie companies, down by such stringent rules as would effectually prevent the continuance of this disgraceful system. Lord G. SOMERSET said he thought the Hon. Member need not have put the protection of the small proprietors so strongly upon him. No man had been more careful of these proprietors than himself. But he conceived that the observa tions of the Hon. Member applied, not to the deviation, but to the main line. He might say that private proprietors should be protected, because when a proprietor gave his con sent to a railway, and parted with a hundred yards breadth of his land, he was in fact assenting to the use of three hun dred yards. The clause was in fact restricting rather than enlarging the powers of railway companies to take the land. Mr. AGLIONBY begged to assure the Noble Lord that he never intended to impute to him or to any other member of the Government, or, indeed, of that House, the slightest neglect of public interests. Nothing was more contrary to his feeling. Mr. HAYTER was not astonished at the Hon. and Gal lant Officer's attack, for he believed that he would at tack any and every railroad in every country and of every time. He (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 ing 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 beaccording 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 be 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 he 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 well for that Hon. Gentleman if he had 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 unfbunded 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 be 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, he 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, lie was quite willing to retract it. Colonel SIBTHORP said he had not the slightest objection to accept the explanation which had 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. AGLIONI3Y 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 the present, that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again on Tuesday, at 12 o'clock. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and the order of the day having been read for the Committee on the COMPANIES CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION (SCOT LAND) BILL, The SPEAKER again left the chair. The LORD ADVOCATE stated briefly to the Committee that he had, during the progress of the English Bill, assimi lated the enactments of this Bill, as much as he thought the circumstances would admit, to the clauses, as amended, in that (tbe English) Bill. The Bill then went through Committee ; and the House adjourned at ten minutes to Four until Five o'clock. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock, but a House was not made till a quarter-past Twelve. 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. Hawes) 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 therefore wished to ask the Noble Lord in the event of his (Mr. Hawes) waiving his objections at present, what course he 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 Maulo) did, and therefore he 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 begged to assure Hon. Members op posite that his Hon. 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, &c., he (Lord G. Somerset) proposed tha t bail m ight 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? for 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. HAYTEIt 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 the word " such " after the word "any," and before the word " dividends " in the preceding clause, the difficulty would be obviated. For instance, if 900,000/. 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 object of the clause to prevent the payment of dividends from the interest of capital, for 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 meet flourishing condition. He 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 the cases which he had put the other day had not yet was be been met. The first was the case of a coal com p an y —whether they could consider the coal as part of the capital stock of the company. The other that of a land company, who, sup posing they laid out 100,000/. in the p urchase of 100,000 and one -half u ft thathey sold 10,00 0 tloob,oooe divided etdhousseuabc,r)ensusf,orur was i t lo considered as part of the capital stock of the company. Mr. GLADSTONE said, that if any difficulty existed in the apprehension of the clause, it would be better to obviate it by the introduction of some other words. But it must be recollected that this was a general 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 wa g a n y di ffi culty in this clause which might not be readily adjudicated by a legal tribunal. Mr. GLADSTONE did not think there was more difficulty to be encountered in dealing with this clause than any other involving questions of commercial l eg i s l a tion ; and it should be recollected that it had the sanction o f long-continued pre cedent for its present shape. Mr. HAWES—As it bad now been admitted on all hands that this clause required some amendnzent, 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 of I THE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD. the capital stock, except after due notice given for that pur pose, at an extraordinary meeting, to be convened for that COROY obj ect." Mr. War Mr. HAWES was understood to say, that though ho did not Coro er, a' entirely approve of the amendment, he should not oppose it. conunecte, Lord G. SOMERSET thought it would be more prudent this me to reserve the consideration of the words until the third crow' reading. adrr The amendment was then withdrawn. w• On the reading of clause 142, which gives the power of , distraint upon the treasurer, Mr. SPOONER said it would be a great hardship to give the creditor of the railway the power of distraining the goods of the treasurer for the debt of the company. He would have no objection that there should be a power to distrain for the amount of the balance in the hands of the treasurer belonging to the company. Lord G. SOMERSET admitted that there was a seeming hardship to allow distraint upon the treasurer of an insolvent or bankrupt company. But the treasurer could at any time relieve himself by resigning his office, when the creditors would know what balance really existed. At present the creditors were frequently evaded by the treasurer's denying the possession of a balance. Mr. AGLIONBY said that the clause would go in direct opposition to the policy of all the Acts which had been passed of late years, which policy was to give creditors a full remedy against the company; and, at the same time, to protect the officers. The Act, the 7th Vic toria, was passed to enable companies to wind up their affairs, or to enable the creditors to compel them to wind up, so that there was no reason for the introduction of so stringent a clause as the present. He approved, therefore, of the amend ment proposed by the Hon. Member for Birmingham. Mr. HAYTER and Mr. PLUMPTRE supported the amend ment. CORONER'S INQUEST.-(TINS DAY.) Mr. Wakley, Coroner for Middlesex, Mr. G. J. Mills, Deputy Coroner, and the jui y empanelled to inquire into the circumstances connected with the late murder near Primrose-hill, re.assembled this morning at the Yorkshire:Grey Tavern, Hampstead. The crowd assembled was unusually large, but, owing to the admirable arrangements of the landlord, Mr. Neal, all confusion was avoided. The remains of the murdered gentleman still re main in an outhouse attached to the premises, and we understand that Sunday Is the day appointed for the funeral. At ten o'clock Mr. Wakley entered the room, and the Court was opened in the usual form. The first witness examined was Mr. Perry, the surgeon, and his _ _ evidence having been read over, he added the results of the post mortem examination. He found various bruises of the scalp and other smaller injuries. On examining the under surface of the scalp, he found it much bruised and blackened from repeated blows. The left temporal muscle was much softened and exceedingly black, and on removing the skull.cap the brain was found to be quite healthy, and no effusion of any kind upon it, and there was no fracture of the skull. There was no extravasation of blocd, in fact, as he had already said, the brain was quite healthy. He ascribed the death to concussion of the brain, from repeated blows. The other parts of the body were not opened. They were not such injuries as could have been in flicted by a fall. Mr. Perry requested that he might be allowed to correct a mis take he had fallen,into in the course of the last examination. He had stated then that the injuries were inflicted by a blunt cutting instrument ; he was now of opinion, from closer examination, that they were inflicted by a heavy weapon, as a stick or crowbar. By the CORONER—There were no marks upon the body. One of the fingers was slightly injured, but it was not of any importance Sergeant Scottney was aAced if he saw any one in the inquest room who had been with the prisoner when he was taken into custody, and he pointed out the prisoner's brother, who was pre.

Edward Scottney, 21 I, was then examined upon oath—l belong to the Hammersmith Station of Pu. lice. I took Thomas Henry Hocker into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murdcr of the late James Delarue. (The witness here detailed the evidence which has been already given in yesterday's Sun.) The brother James said to the prisoner, when I was searching his room, " Tom, tell the policeman all that you know about it, for he can see you arc telling him a lie." The prisoner then took a watch, with a gold chain, or what appeared to be such, from under his pillow and gave it to me, saying, "That is Dela rue's watch ; he gave it to me on Friday morning about ten o'clock." He said that Delarue gave him the watch to sell it for him. The prisoner next produced from a drawer several duplicates, and he said with reference to them, that Delarue had given him the pro perty to pledge for him. The CORONER said, that the evidence to be brought forward now would particularly tell against the man who was absent, and he had a particular repugnance to put questions to the witnesses which might affect the life of any man. There could be nothing more unjust than to have an accusation preferred in the absence of the accused party. In the case of the prisoner present the evidence might be strong or weak, but as regarded the other, it was absolutely necessary for the due administration of justice that the accused should be there, to he:sr what was said, and, if he thought proper, to say a word in his own defence. Enter. taining that opinion so strongly, he was determined that, if he could not overcome the difficulties which were opposed to him, to give up his office. Those difficulties had been going on since he had been in office, but he was determined that if his predecessors had not done their duty in this particular, he should. What had happened in that very case ? They had assembled on the first occasion, when no individual was suspected, but something had since happened to attach suspicion to a party or parties—one was present in custody, the other was taken into custody by the police, without any order front the magistrate (and the police acted very properly in so doing) ; the other was taken into custody upon his (Mr. Wakley's) authority. One had been before the magistrates, and the other had not. Now he would ask, why should not both be here? Why should not both appear before the magistrate ? He could not conceive why these difficulties should arise, if it were - not for some foolish jealousy of the powers and functions of the jurymen there. There must be some repugnance to allow prisoners to be produced before a Coroner's jury. It was not so when Lord John Russell was Home Secretary; no difficulty of this kind arose when Lord Normanby was Home Secretary, for arrangements had been entered into between the Coroner and -the Home-office for the removal of prisoners to the Coroner's Court. Since the present Home Secretary had been in office this difficulty had again arisen, and it existed now. Yesterday morning he (Mr. Wakley) wrote to Sir James Graham expressing a hope that there would be no objection to the production of the prisoner. He understoood from the police that there would be no obstruction, and he last night receiving a letter from the Ilome Secretary, in which he " hoped that no difficulty would arise." How the difficulty did arise he (Mr. Wakley) could not say. But when the police was established in 1829, the Commissioners issued instructions for their guidance. He believed the police did not at that time deem the coroner's office to be of sufficient importance to give the police any orders with reference to the persons who came before the coro ners' courts. Have you (addressing Inspector Shackell) any in. structions with regard to coroner's eourts? Inspector Shackell—None, Sir. Mr. WALLEY—Have you any instructions on the charge-sheet, as to what is to be done with the prisoner, in connexion with this Court ? Inspector—None whatever, Sir. Mr. WAKLEY—He thought not. This was treating the jury with, to say the least of it, insolence and contempt. At that mo ment there were two individuals in custody, on suspicion of being connected with this crime—a crime, be it remembered, of the most weighty character. The life of one of those persons was at stake. And could it be right, then, that they should decide upon his guilt or innocence he not being present ? How should they feel in the like circumstances ? Could it be consistent with their duty, or with the oaths they had taken in that court, to hear accusations affecting the life of an individual, when that individual himself was not present to utter one word in his own defence ? It was most monstrous and most repugnant to the whole spirit of the British law to call this even-handed justice. He did not be lieve that the committing magistrate had the power to order the prisoner's attendance there ; nor after the prisoner was committed from the police.court, did he think that even the Secretary of State could order him to appear in the coroner's court. He could only be brought up by a writ of habeas corpus. Under these cir cumstances, he should, with the jury's permission, postpone any further inquiry till Monday morning. He was sorry to give them that trouble, but if they deemed his opinion a wrong one, he was quite willing to proceed, but he did not see how they could do so without the accused person being present, and pro. perly identified. They must recollect that this was a charge of murder, and that, therefore, it would be necessary to identify the prisoner. He was determined to carry the .matter to another place, and he trusted that all these difficulties would be overcome before they next met. After some remarks from several of the jurors, The CORONER asked if it were possible to return a verdict of " Wilful Murder "against a man who was not identified before them ? It would be the most monstrous thing every dofin a court of justice. A Juror—Has the prisoner been sent for ? Mr. WALLEY—Not from this Court. Ido notlook or his at tendance here as a matter of favour, but as a Matter of right. It was a right which the unhappy person himself might claim. The other young man present was in his custody, but he should not consider himself justified in throwing any obstacle in the way of his examination before the magistrate. The jury expressed a wish to know where the particular diffi culty lay to the production of the prisoner before them ; but the Coroner did not further explain, as the matter would be investi gated in another place. After Monday morning, he was satisfied that they would not require to adjourn. It was eventually determined that the jury should resume the examination on Saturday morning, at half past nine. The prisoner's father was then introduced, and the Coroner gave orders that the room should be cleared of strangers, as he wished to make a private examination. The result of that examination may be inferred, although, as the Press was excluded, it can. not perhaps be correctly stated. The material facts were, the discovery of a purse, supposed to belong to deceased, upon the person of the prisoner ; the production of the prisoner's clothes, and the fact that they weresaturated with blood, and that Ins shirt was torn to shreds, as if in a severe struggle; the state ment of the father that the prisoner had left home before seven o'clock on the Friday evening on which the murder had been committed, thus flatly contradicting the prisoner's statement that he had not left till eight. There were minor statements made, but as these might tend to defeat the ends of justice, it is scarcely justifiable to make them public at this early stage of the pro ceedings.

POLLGCK and a Special Jury, WINTOSII V. THE 1111DIAND COUNTIES RAILWAY, This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a very ex. tensive contractor for railways, against the Midland Counties Company, for not performing the contract entered into between them. It appeared that the plaintiff contracted, in 1837, 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 rot performed in the specified time the plaintiff was to forfeit 3001. for every day after that on which the contract required that the railroad shoald be com. pleted. It was alleged that the work was not finished till the 30th of June, and for this 7,5001., were kept back by the Com pany. It was to recover this 7,500/. that the action was brought, the plaintiff alleging that the rails were not furnished in the proper time. (The care was proceeding when we went to press.) SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before J. P. KENNEDY, Esq., and a Common Jury.) JAMES V. MILFORD. I )itto Advertised This was an action to recover damages for breach of eentraet, brought by Mri. Elizabeth James against Mr. Edward Milford, re siding at Hartford.road, Kingsland. It appears that the parties to this action are relations, and that early last year the plaintiff having some money to invest, entered into an agreement to purchase from the defendant, for the sum of 1,2501., four villa dwellings, situated in Queen's-road, Dalston. 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 tebantable 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 erect, and imperfect workman ship. The action was undefended. The amount claimed was 1501. The jury returned immediately a verdict for the full amount. A meeting of Members of the House of Commons, summoned by Sir Robert Peel, took place at twelve (Meek this day, at the office of the Right H n. Baronet, in Downing-street.

The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. W. P. CAREW took the oaths and his seat for ast Cornwall. Several Railway and other Private Bills were brought in. Various petitions were presented. Among the notices of motion 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 he 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. GIBBON, in relation to his statement on this subject made on a furmer 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 Lord 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 are, 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 filled 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 1,100,0001. would be imposed annually for the benefit of the planter. The Noble Lord then quoted a letter from the Rev. Mr. KNIBB, 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 of 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-labeur pre.duets 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 e hit which we had reciprecity 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 kbour sugar, in conjunction with our own colonial sugar, would mere 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 slave ry, when no one thought of contending that the protection ail,,rded to them operated as a tax upon the public. It did not so %crate then, because the silt ply exceeded the demand. The admission of Brazilian sugar would lead to immediate cheapness, which would be followed by excessive rise of price. Besides, the pt , ople of this country had always expressed their wil lingness to submit to the necessary sacrifices for the abolition of slavery. The Right Hon. 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 f“llow from doing away with the differential duties betweu 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 pofal of the Government gave the consumer the benefit of the reduction to the extent of lid. per lb. He thought the Government proposition infinitely preferable to a scheme of gradual reduction. He admitted that it was impossible to foresee what might occur in Viree years, hut 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 tlte end (;f that period. He opposed the propo sition of the Noble Lord as impolitic; inexpedient, and subversive of those principles for which they had s) long contended. Mr. LA.BOUCHERE considered the attempt to draw a distinction between free-labour and slasve-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 take his full share of the responsibility which had been incurred with regard to this MI asure. He denied each and hael given ovi feinf lo islaver}, the re t tai propositions dultve es laid down by the Noble Lord. r 3 ,, were while,repealed,under th stimulusa e would be present 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, and 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; PM. „a cLOSw- ONE PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS.
