SPIRIT of th. PUBLIC JOURNALS FRO3I Till EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Bill for removing the municipal and corpo rate disabilities, under which members of the Jewish faith were left by the Municipal Reform Act, was read a second time last evening in the House of Peers. The unanimity and harmony of the Lords spiritual and temporal, on the pre sent occasion, presents a striking contrast to the alarm which in 1841 ruffled the lawn of the Episcopal Bench, and commu nicated pious fears for the national Christianity among the lay Peers, and induced them to reject the self-same Bill by a large majority. We abate not one jot or tittle of the satisfaction which we feel at the removal from the statute-book of another of the few remaining relics of intolerance by which it is still disfigured. For the repeal of these remnants of a dark, and therefore suspicious, age, we have invariably con tended with such powers as we possess. The admission of Jews to all corporate offices, in common with every other class of the community, is no less politic than just. By omitting, in the case of persons of the Jewish faith, the words "upon the true faith of a Christian," from the declaration required to be taken upon the admission to corporate offices, this object will be effected. Thus, one of those anomalous, absurd, and positively injurious distinctions against which our efforts have been directed, will be abolished. The removal of this reproach —the most strenuous advocates for its retention, as essential no less to the safety of Christianity in this country than to the Established Church, as part and parcel of the - Constitu tion, now converted into advocates for the change, of which they, so recently, exhibited an alarm approaching to horror this is gratifying. Still the change itself, and iu quarters where we look for consistency, is not the least strange because it is gratifying. We have been wont to con nect with high office in the Church a calm investigation of principles previously to their being adopted, and especially - before they are deliberately and openly avowed. Yet in the present instance we see nearly the whole of the Episcopal Bench, in less thin four years, relieved from those painful apprehensions for the safety of our " national Christianity," which would be endangered from the admission of the Jews to corporate offices, and per mitting a Bill to pass for that purpose without a word of disapproval, or an effect to impede its progress I The lay Lords who in 1841, under Episcopal leadership, fought so determinedly against the anti-Christian measure, were equally complacent. We reproach them not for ac cepting what they so recently rejected. We do not doubt of their having yielded their formerly strongly-- expressed objections to the force of reason and the power of truth. The Bishops now feel as strong an obligation to defend the " national Christianity," of which they are con stituted the guardians and the guides, as they did in 1841, when they assembled in the House of Lords to vote the re jection of a Bill, precisely the same as that which they now allow to be passed with as little apprehension of its contain ing anything dangerous to Christianity or the Established Church, as if it were a railway Bill. But we cannot help thinking that the Archbishop of Canterbury, who then moved the rejection of the Bill, on the ground that " if such a measure as the present was allowed to become the law of the land, the character of the country would be altered, and it would no longer be an exclusively Christian country," should have explained the cause of this change of mind. His Grace, we say, should have assigned the reasons which had effected a change of views so com plete, and a relief from fears so painful. The Bishop of London's speech against the Bill of 1841 was distinguished by those powers of eloquence which his Lordship is known to possess, and which are never wielded with more effect than when they are directed against any measure which, in his view, tends to endanger the Church, by removing restric tions upon those who dissent from its communion. Yet the Bishop of London last night contented himself with ob serving, " He wished to explain that he was no party to the measure, but that he did not oppose it, because he did not desire to raise a discussion and stir up angry feel ings." What has produced this " love of peace" at the expense of principle, and at the cost of those imminent dangers to the Church which the Right Reverend Prelate so powerfully enlarged upon in 1841 ? Other Prelates on that occasion were equally eloquent in their denunciations of the anti-Christian character of the Bill. Where were they last night ? Echo answers "Where ? " Not one was found, " faithful among the faithless," to lift up his voice to protest against the Bill, or to reprove the Government for lending its powerful aid to subvert the "national Christianity." That ..they would have done so, and that by "thoughts which :..breathe in words which burn," had they not seen cause eto change their opinions, there can be no doubt. But their explanations would have been more edifying and satisfactory than their mysterious silence. As to Lords Winchileea, Ro den, and the temporal Lords who distinguished themselves by their resistance to the Bill of 1841, they doubtless waited for the signal of distress from the Episcopal Bench, or the sound of the tocsin to summon them to the field. Neither ob serving the one, nor hearing the other, they remained at home. Still, in the absence of any explanation of the causes of a change complete, and universal, there will not be want ing persons who will ascribe the change of views to the changed position of parties. Had the Whigs continued in office, there would probably have been as strong objections in Prelates and in Peers to admitting Jews to corporate offices as there were in 1841. Principles are immutable; but poli tical power is affected by circumstances. Bishops, as well as Barons, are influenced by hope. STANDARD.—In our imperfect state it is impossible to reconcile all the orders and institutions of society to natural equity ; yet so deeply implanted is the love of justice in every breast that, though we can scarcely move a step, or, indeed, scarcely contemplate the undeserved mercies that the very humblest of us enjoy, without feeling that jus tice is universally violated through our whole complicated social system ; still, strict justice is the criterion by which we would try everything, and to which we would have every thing conform, except our own conduct. It is pleasant, no doubt, to eontemplate a golden age— " gure vindice nullo Sponte suit sine lege fidem rectumque colebat, Pcena metusque aberant, nec verbs minacia fixo .eEre legebantur, nec supplex turba timebant Judicis era sui, sed erant sine vindice tuti." That was a happy state of society (if it ever existed) which felt no want of constables, police-officers, judges, armies, line of-battle ships, war steamers, or their unavoidable and most disagreeable attendants, customs and excise offices, stamp and tax departments, &c., &c. This happy age, however, was not, even in the imagination of the poet, of very long duration. Constables, police-otlicers, jadges, &c., become necessary, until at length— " Ultima ccelestum terras Astrea relignit.” The divine virgin abandoned the whole earth absolutely with out pausing to establish her shrine either in a custom-house, or excise or stamp and tax-office. Hence it followed, if we may carry on the allegory, that nearly every tax is not merely " an evil," as Sir Robert Peel ad mitted, but also " an injustice," and the furthest that the wisdom of legislation can go is to select the least degree of injustice. If gentlemen had kept this consideration in view last night many passionate and moving appeals might have been spared by the of po cents of direct taxation. It strikes us, indeed, that these i pp mls were not met as they ought to have been, by a set- off of the far greater evils and far more flagrant injustice of indirect taxes. `There is, no doubt, a manifest inequality in directly charging a man's earnings as highly as the interest of the earnings of another man or of that other man's ancestors (for such interest fairly enough represents income from fixed property), but what is this compared to the injustice of indirectly taxing the earnings of the father of half-a dozen children, with BiX or seven times as heavy a burden as the unmarried man, who may be ten or one hundred times as rich ; ray, taxing the father of a family directly also in a much higher ra tio than his richer neighbour—for the man who has a family must have a house or a lodging of some size ; whereas the single man may live in a single eloset, and diem at a club, as a great many do, not a little to their discredit ? " Oh, where is your justice then," in indirect taxation ? In speaking of the rich man who escapes indirect taxation, we have not altogether drawn from fancy. Some years ago we knew a Member of Parliament whose income woe not less than ten or twelve thousand a year, and who boasted that in a long life he had never paid a shilling in taxes : he lived in an un taxed cottage about t wo miles Irons town, rode an pony, was as abstemiou s as Father Mathew could de eire—and before lie enjoyed the privilege of franking himself, used to receive all his poet letters under cover to an official friend. As his estates were i n Ireland, lie, ha I escaped the income and property ta xes . T he man was‘ miser, lie had disguised his miserly di spos i t i on under pol t ' i' political pretence, he was bound to go thronen with it ; and, i n fact. to the day of his death, never paid a shilling tax. The public, however, had its revenge iii probate duties upon soeie i.undreds of thousands of pounce at lee death. Now such extreme cases are, no doubt, rare ; but thousands of cases there -. are more or less nearly approaching to this which we have described ; and is it not mon strous that the wealthy should be left even the choice of evading taxes, when the pear must pay them? Of all the propositions suggested last night, that of Sir Robert Inglis is undoubtedly the most reasonable ; but rarely as it is our lot to differ from the Hon. Member for the University of Oxford, we must take leave to differ from him here. An income of 1501. a-year is, indeed, a small income to be taxed, and if the tax were not a necessary part of a system which must richly reimburse all the men of 1501. a year who need compassion, we should say, give up the million which Sir Robert Inglis would wish abandoned. One hun dred and fifty pounds a year is, as we have said, a small Eastern Counties—Brandon and Peterborough Deviation, Eastern Counties—Hertford and 13iggleAwade Junction, Great Grimsby arid Sheffield, Midland Railway—Syston and Peterborough, Midland Railway—Nottingham and Lincoln, Midland Railway—Swinton to Lincoln (as to the portion between Swinton and Doncaster), Tottenham and Farringdon-street Extension, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole ; and against the Barnsley and Goole, Direct Northern (as to the portion between Lincoln and London), Eastern Counties--Cambridge and Huntingdon, Eastern Counties—Ely and Lincoln Extension, Ely and Lincoln, Goole and Snaith, Hull and Gainkorough, London and York, Lincoln, York, and Leeds, Midland Railway—Swinton to Lincoln (as to the portion between Doncaster and Lincoln), Rotherham, Bawtry, and Gainsborough, Sheffield and Lincolnshire, York and North Midland, and Doncaster, York and North Midland, and Goole.

Commissions by the Lord-Lieutenant of the North Riding of the County of York. IL W. de la Poer Beresford, Esq., to be Deputy-Lieutenant; M. W. V. Milbank, E.q., to be ditto ; M. Wyvill, juu., Esq., to be ditto, March 8. (From the London New Price Current of' March 11.) St:GAIL-To-day there was no public sale of any descrip tion of raw Sugar. Importers of British Plantation mani fested firmness, and refused to sell but at full rates ; the demand, however, was trifling, the private purchases amount ing to only SO hhds and tierces. The demand for Mauritius, Bengal, and Madras was only for small parcels, but full prices were insisted upon. REFINED.-To-day there was little variation in the value of home-trade goods, but the business done was extremely limited. Bonded Crushed Sugar moved off slowly, at 31s Co 31s 3d per cwt. Maus:rms.-There has been an improved demand for this description of Sugar, but merchants have been free sellers, and the market has been largely supplied especially with bright Grocery descriptions. At auction 14,014 bags and 14 casks were all disposed of at prices that averaged those of the last public sale; some of the piles, however, went Gd to is per cwt cheaper, fine yellow realised 62s to 645, good 58s Gd to 61s, good middling 57s 6d to 58s, middling 55s 6d to 575, low 53s 6d to 54s Mae and fine grey 57s to 588 Gd, mid dling 54s to 55a, fditillilno 535, good to fine brown 52s to 53s Gd, washed 52s to 69d, and Syrupy 57s to 59. 6d per cwt The quantity of brown in the sale was small. EAST INDIA.-Importers of Bengal Sugar have manifested more firmness, and the market having been sparingly sup plied, previous rates are sustained. There has been a better demand privately for all descriptions, and several parcels have been disposed of at previous rates. At auction 2,309 bags were all sold; one lot of middling whits fetched 61s 6d, the remainder were damaged, and went at 59s to 62s for washed, 58s 6d to 65s for damp, and 50. to 52s per cwt for damp and washed yellow. The public sales declared are of little moment at present. Madras has met with more atttention. There has been no public sale of Foreign East India, but 13,000 bags of Manilla, with certifi cate, are declared for the 18th. Java has been sought after, and full prices are offered, but the market is still scantily supplied. Manilla is held with firmness. FORF:IGN.-There has been a good demand for all descrip tions of Brazil Sugar, and very full rates have been paid for every kind. The private transactions are a floating cargo of sew Bahia at 24s 6d for white, and 19s 3d for brown, one of o?el white Bahia at 235, and a cargo of yellow Pernambuco in bags at 19s 6(1 per cwt, all for a near port. On the spot 300 chests of Bahia have been sold, white at 21s to 245, and brown at 18s to 19s per cwt. At auction 255 cases and 8 barrels of Bahia were taken in above the value. Yellow Havannali has been sought after, and previous rates offered. In other kinds of Foreign Sugar the private operations are upon a more extended scale at former terms, and there is nothing pressing for sale. holders of Foreign Sugar gene rally are sanguine in their expectations as to the future posi tion of the article. Only a small quantity has again been isaported. Moostssiss.-There are few purchasers of West India, but holders are not inclined to seduce their prices, and 20s to 23e per cwt is the value. East India dull of sale, but not offered upon lower terms. Ric E.-There has been a lively demand for Bengal, and many parcels have been disposed of at prices showing an advance on those previously quoted of 3d per cwt. The supply at market is yet insufficient for the demand ; 1,759 bags 500 packets at auction went readily, low white at 10. 6d to lie, mid lla to lie 6d, good mid bold but rather dusty lls 6d, sea damaged, first class 10s 6d to 1 le, seeond class lOs 6d, third and fourth class 716 to 9s 6d per cwt. The mar ket has been sparingly supplied with Madras, it is much in request, and previous improved rates are well supported, yel low fetching 98 to 9s Gd, aid common white 9s 6d to 10s. There are several buyers of Java, but there is little in the market, an prices rule firm, white is worth 108 6d to 12s 6d, , and yellow 9. to 10. per cwt. Cleaned Rice has met with ready purchasers, Carolina at 23 to 28s, and Patna 13s 3d to 18s per cwt ; it is taken off nearl y as fast as it is produced. COFFEE.-This afternoon Plantation Ceylon met with in creased attention, and 400 bags at public sale, a favourite mark, f tcl we i bold dark colors - , and fetched a to t 4 8 8 83 to f 6 o s r r i i i e ti r d c d w li t ng aboye the vauations, and 758 to 82. for sea damaged first class. Mocha is wanted, and 84 bales at auction were sold at steady rates that is to say, middling greenish clean garbled at 59. to 60s, bold Triage 50s, small broken 38s to 40s, black 16. 6d to 17s, and sea damaged of other sorts 35s to 57A 6d. Ceylon of good ordinary quality is fetching 46s 6d to 47s by private treaty. TEA.-Since the public sales of Tea there has been an im proved demand for all descriptions at full prices, sound common Congou for cash has realised 10d to 10'd, good common 101(1 to Ild, Pouchong 5d to 10d, Twankay common of the late arrivals is 2id to is 31d; Hysion common 2s 7d, and middling to good of the new import 2s 8d to 3s per lb. In fine Congou there has been a good deal doing at 2a 5d to 2s 6d for Pekoe flavour. An increased desire has been shown to purchase scented Orange Pekoe, and 1,500 hf-chests have been sold at 3s 2d to 3s 4d. Tke ac counts come to hand from China state that the; crop of green Tea was likely to prove large, but of black it wos not ex pected to be above an average-prices ruled higit for all sorts, and the shipments made had been large since tht de partu,se of the la-t mail. Rem, Bitassmv, AXD HousaxDs.-Leeward Island Rum at is 10(1 to Is lld per gallon proof strength. Demerara, strong descriptions are worth only 3s to 3s 2d per gallon.

Mr. John Locke, who succeeded in the contest with Sir Walter Riddell, for the Common Pleadership, vacant by the promotion of Mr. Russell G urney : as Q ueen ' s Counsel, was sworn into office. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from John Fuller, barge-builder. The petition stated what ap• peared to several members of the Court t o b e a very hard case. The petitioner had contracted with the Directors of the East and West India Docks to remove the mud from the docks, and employed a person who was fully qualified to carry the contract into execution ; and whom he paid to the full extent. The men employed by that individual, however, had, upon some occasions, committed offences against the navigation, by throwing part of the mud into the river, in direct opposition to his expostulations. The City authorities had, notwith standing the fact that the petitioner had nothing what ever to do with the offences so described, and that he had done all in his power to prevent the commission of thorn, caused an information to be 'laid against him, so that after having lost nearly 1,0001. by the contract, he was subjected to the additional punishment of a prosecution. The prayer of the petition was, that the Court would be pleased to order that the prosecution be abandoned. The petition was immediately referred to a Com mittee. The Court was then cleared of strangers, and a long discussion took place, as our reporter was informed, upon the subject of her Majesty's visit to Christ's Hospittil, which ended in the passing of a resolution, to the effect that the Lord Mayor was at the head of all the hospitals of the City of London. The Court adjourned the moment the doors were opened. JOINT—STOCK BANKS. Dividend Amount Name of CompanY• per of ?ald. Price? Annum. Share. e. d. X s. d.

Viscount STRANGFORD presented a petition from the University of Cambridge for the repeal of the Act uniting the bishoprics of Bangor and St. Asaph. CANALS AND RAILWAYS. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Birming ham and Staffordshire Canal Company, which he considered of some importance. The petitioners represented the canal interest as distinguished from the railway interest. For his own part, whether for his good fortune or misfortune, he had no connexion either with canals or railways, and he would only state the case of the petitioners, as they put it themselves. They did not object to the formation of railways, but they complained of the unfair course adopted towards them by the railway com panies. They admitted that they were beaten by the railways as far 28 the carriage of passengers was concerned— Lord BROUGHAM—And speed.—( A laugh. ) Lord CAMPBELL—But the petitioners said they could beat the railways in tho carriage of goods, if it were not for the unfair means adopted by the railway companies to ruin the canals. The railways carried goods at so low a rate that the canals could not compete with them, and thereby the former would secure a monopoly, so that after the ruin of the canals they would charge the pablic what they pleased for the carriage of goods. At present they charged ten times as much for the carriage of a ton weight of third-class passengers, and thirty times as much for the carriage of a ton of first-class passengers, as for a ton of goods. By this means they made up, by the excessive charge for passengers, for the loss they had on the carriage of goods. The petitioners prayed that there should be a fixed ratio between the charges for passengers and that for goods. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he had presented, some time ago, a petition upon the same subject, and that (as we andersood) Lord Normanby suggested that an Act should ' pass to prevent the charges of railway carriage when once lowered from being raised again. SPIRIT LICENCES FOR TOLL-HOUSES IN SCOTLAND. that Mr. Mandeville drew an erroneous inference with respect to the intentions of the two Governments; arid though Mr. Mandeville had exceeded his instructions—though he had done wrong in stating to the Governments of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, that he had good reason to believe that hosti lities would be put an end to—yet, looking to Mr. Mandeville's position, and the extreme difficulties he had to contend with, he was yet bound to do justice to the motives of Mr. Mande ville. Certainly, after what had taken place, seeing that Mr. Mandeville, the representative of this coun try to Buenos Ayres, had carried on a confidential com munication with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs at Monte Video, they thought that ho had put himself in such a position that he could not resume his office with efficiency in that effect but at the same time there was nothing in the conduct'bf Mr. Mandeville to disentitle him to the confidence of the British Government. Acting as he did, on the best intentions, he should be sorry to imply any strong censure upon the con duct of a gentleman placed in his position. As they were about to renew their representations to the Government of Buenos Ayres, acting in harmony with the French Govern ment on the subject, most earnestly imploring that they would put a stop to their senseless hostilities, it was not the time to lay on the table of the House the communications which had taken place. Lord PALMERSTON said he thought that Mr. Mande ville had been officially employed to negotiate a treaty with Monte Video, and that it was necessary on his part that he should be in communication with Mr. Vidal. The Earl of MINTO presented a petition from several places in Scotland against the granting of spirit licences to toll-honses in Scotland. The Noble Earl said that this was a great grievance, of the extent of which he believed their Lordships were not at all aware; but he could assure them that the granting of licences to these houses was a source of great evil and immorality to the country. A plea had been put up, on the ground that the opportunities for the accommodation of travellers in Scotland were so few, that it was absolutely necessary to grant licences to these houses. He believed the evil did not exist equally in all the counties, but in fact he could say that it existed to a very great extent. These toll-houses were become regular houses for drinking and intoxication, and great inconvenience often arose from the blocking up of the road by carts and other vehicles, and the consequent tumult which arose. He believed that his Noble Friend opposite (the Duke of Buccleuch) was aware of the extent of the evil, and the Duke of Roxburgh had attended a meeting the other day, in which the evil was loudly complained of, and he believed that no remedy could be applied until there was a ehange in the law. The grounds of the evil appeared to rest upon the pecuniary inte rests which the magistrates had in these toll-houses. They were fearful that if these licences were not granted the revenue would merely be raised to satisfy the necessities of the trusts and pay the interests of the several debts. Tne Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that as his Noble Friend had appealed to him, he must say that certainly great evil did exist, and he believed that there was some reason in what his Noble Friend had said respecting the pecuniary interests of the magistrates ; but he believed that this representation had been greatly exaggerated.—(Hear, hear.) He had, it is true, made an effort to introduce a clause in the Ge neral Turnpike Act of Scotland to abate the evil. But with respect to the pecuniary interest of magistrates in these tolls it should ho observed that the gentlemen for the several counties had given their guarantee for the satisfaction of the claims on the trustees, so that the plea of those houses being licensed for the sake of revenue was evidently groundless. Lord ABI NG ER said, that he could bear his testimony to all that had fallen from the Noble Lord opposite respecting the evil of those houses, and one of the few measures which he would v .nture to recommend to their Lordships would be one for throwing some additional obstacle in the way of granting licences to those houses. He thought the doing so would greatly abate the evil and immorality which those houses occasioned, and he hoped that a measure would be introduced for altering the law respecting them. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. The Earl of CADOGAN moved for certain returns relating :o the Ecclesiastical Commission, which were ordered to be Laid on the table. SCOTCH CURRENCY. Sir R. PEEL said that Mr. Vidal was sick at the time, and it was an act of treachery to publish his letter. Mr. HUME moved for a " return, showing the total number of pensioners received from the army, on the pension establish ment, from the year 1834 to the year 1843, both years inclu sive; specifying the number received in each year from each branch of the service, viz., from the Dragoon Guards and Dragoons, Foot Guards, Horse and Foot Artillery, Corps of Engineers and Sappers and Miners, Infantry of the Line, and Marines, with the average effective strength of each branch of the service, for each year, from 1834 to 1843. Also, the ave rage age of the pensioners when received on the pension estab lishment; specifying the average ages of the pensioners from each branch of the service. Also, the average service of the pensioners at the time when received on the pension establish ment ; distinguishing the average period of service of the pen sioners from each branch of the service. Also, the number of pensioners who have died in each year, from the year 1824 to the year 1843, both years inclusive, with the average ages of the pensioners at the time of their decease. Also the total number of pensioners of all branches of the army on the establishment, in each year, from 1834 to 1843, both years inclusive."— Agreed to. The Earl of R6SEBERY presented a petition from Inver ness against any alteration in the Scotch currency. The Stamp Duties Assimilation Bill was read a second time. On the motion of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, other Bills were also read a second time, but the titles were not heard in the gallery. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 11. The House resumed at Five o'clock. NEWCASTLE AND SHIELDS RAILWAY. Mr. ORD presented a petition in favour of the Newcastle and Shields Railwa y. TRENT VALLEY EXTENSION RAILWAY On the motion of Mr. M. PHILIPS, the Trent Valley Extension Railway Bill was read a second time. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY EXTENSIONS. Mr. ESCOTT brought up the report on these extensions. It was stated that the standing orders in this case might be dispensed with, and leave wasgiven_tolsring in separate Bills. 0 i5.3711.1..5. —.......,--. ...... .....---•—•— • .1 I Nttuws of I Z 'Dividend 9,4•4a_ yawn et 0 Divierdend Price. o, 3l . timntiiis. 1 • - eeinpsules. damn.

On the motion of Mr. ST BUTT, leave was granted to bring in the Newark and Sheffield Railway Extension Bill. Several Hon. Members brought up Railway Bills, in which the standing orders had been complied with. HUDDERSFIELD WATERWORKS BILL. This Bill was read a first time. Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the rated inhalai tants of Lambeth in favour of the South-Eastern Extension Railway Bill. Sir H. DOUGLAS presented a petition from Liverpool, praying that those merchants who had a stock of sugar oss hand might be allowed a drawback. The Hon. and Gallant Member heartily concurred in the prayer of the petition. Mr. THOS. DUNCOMBE presented a petition signed by 3,000 miners of Durham, complaining of the explosions that had taken place in that part of the country, and praying the House to take the subject into its consideration. Mr. LIDDELL presented a petition from a place in Durham, praying that public-houses might be closed on Sundays. Lord G. SOMERSET proposed the following Members for the Committee of classification on Railway Bills :—Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Fox Maule, Lord Mahon, Sir Wm. Somerville, and Mr. Wilson Patten. Mr. ESTCOURT moved that no private Bill other than Railway Bills be read a second time after Friday, the 18th of April next, and also that, as soon as the agent for any private B:11 shall have received from the Committee of Selection notice of the hour and day fixed for the Committee on such Bill, he shall forthwith give notice thereof to the clerks in the Private Bill-office. The motion was agreed to. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. HUME presented a petition from several sugar refiners in Scotland, praying, before any alteration was made in the sugar duties, a delay should be granted them in order to dis pose of their stocks in hand. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from the Com missioners appointed by Act of Parliament to consolidate certain Bills affecting the borough of Southwark. RAILWAYS. Mr. HUME, on behalf of Mr. Wallace, postponed his mo tion relative to railways, and railway passengers and traffic. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE, Sir R. PEEL gave notice that on Thursday next he would move the adjournment of the House from Thursday, the 20th instant, to the Monday week following. The state of public business would not admit of a longer postponement. WEXFORD, CARLOW, AND DUBLIN JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. W. COLLETT presented a petition in favour of the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction Railway, from the Harbour Commissioners of Wexford. BUENOS AYRES AND NIONTE VIDEO. Lord PALMERSTON said he rose for the purpose of putting to the Right Hon. Baronet a question, •f which he had given notice a few days ago, with regard to the hostilities now being carried on between Buenos Ayres and the State of Monte Video. The House well knew that bet we these two States there had existed for three years past a state of hostility more or less violent ; and that the British Government at one time endeavoured, by an offer of mediation, between the two parties to put an end to that hostility. The question which he was going to ask was founded on documents which had been published in the newspapers of Monte Video, in which had appeared a correspondence between the British Minister at Buenos Ayres, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Monte Video. Founding himself entirely on that correspondence, he learned that in the summer of 1842 the British Government determined to interfere, and to put an end to these hostilities by foreign interference. Now, without at all expressing any opinion one way or the other upon the policy of the question, as to whether it was one which should warrant the interference of the Government of this country as a third party, he would say he was en titled to an answer.—(Hear.) It was quite true that those two States had an undoubted right to quarrel amongst themselves ; and, therefore, without saying which party was in the wrong— whether either, or one, or both was to blame, he would still contend for it that his question should be answered. It appeared by a letter which he had read, and which had been sent to Mr. Mandeville, the Monte Videan Consul, by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that it was the wish and the intention of the British Government to use every effort to put an end to the war. However, in the year 1842, Lord Cowley had an interview with M. Guizot, and the latter gen tleman concurred with the Noble Lord that there should be an end to this war, and that he was ready to enter into any ar rangement that might be proposed for that purpose. On the 16th of December, 1842, an official note was sent to the Go vernment of Buenos Ayres, with an intimation to Mr. Mande ♦ille, which he would now read. The letter appeared in a Monte Video paper, and had been translated into Portuguese ; he would endeavour to read it, making allowance for some ver bal inaccuracies. The Noble Lord having read the letter, went on to say :—He wished to know what were the grounds which led to that change, and whether that change was fully communicated to the two Governments concerned. And he would also ask, whether there was any objection to lay on the table of the House such papers connected with the matter as might be communicated without injury to the public service ? Sir ROBERT PEEL said the statement which had been made by the Noble Lord with respect. to that which had been presented by our Minister arid the representative of France to the Government of Buenos Ayres was substantially correct. He ( Sir Robert Peel) held in his hand the formal note which had been presented, and although there were some variations in expressions, yet still the Noble Lord was sub stantially correct. In December 1e42, the representatives of the two countries made communications to Buenos Apes, to the effect stated by the Noble Lord. In January, 1843, they went further, and stated that the fleets of England and France had sailed from Europe for the purpose of forcible intervention. In June, 1843, he (Sir Robert Peel) was asked, whether or not the representatives of this country had been entirely justified by their instructions in making their communications to Buenos Ayres; and whether they had full authority to inform that Government, that in case of amicable intervention failing. there would be forcible intervention, for the purpose of putting an end to those lamentable hostilities which even then had so long prevailed. He stated that the representatives of France and England had been instructed to urge on the Governments of the two belligerent Powers the policy of suspending these hostilities, and terminating them by amicable negotiations. He stated at that time, that those re presentatives were not justified in holding out the menace of forcible intervention, He thought the Ministers of France arid England had gone beyond their instructions. The Noble Lord had alluded to the correspondence which had taken place between M. Mandeville and the Secretary of Fo reign Affairs in France. There was now the most cordial un derstanding between this country and France with respect to the termination of hostilities between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. Mr. Mandeville had read a communication from the Secretary of State, and waft ovrina to that communication SUGAR DUTIES BILL. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he understood that the Sugar Duties Bill had been brought in and read at twelve o'clock this morning, n• doubt through inadvertence. He did not feel the smallest disposition to obstruct the Bill in its pre sent stage, but he thought it would be inconvenient to allow any stage of a money Bill to pass without notice. He ob jected to it as a precedent, although, in this instance, he had no doubt it had been done through inadvertence. He trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir Robert Peel) would concur with him, and would not object to say that such should not occur again. Sir ROBERT PEEL entirely concurred with the Right Hon. Gentleman in the general principle which he had stated, and he might depend upon it that in future no money Bill would be taken at the morning sitting without notice. Mr. HUME was understood to ask whether, at a future stage of the Bill, there would he an opportunity of bringing forward the question of a drawback ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that notice of a motion on that subject—for the addition of a clause at the end of the Bill—would be brought in upon the third reading. In answer to a question from Mr. F. FRENCH, Sir I'. FREMANTLE said that his attention had been brought to the subject of carriage duties in Ireland, and he thought that many parts of the law would admit of an alteration. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. SOMES, without making any observations, and merely stating that ho thought the papers ought to be laid on the table of the House for the information of the public, moved for " Copies of all correspondence between the Colonial-office and the Governor of New Zealand respecting the issue of deben tures, and the rendering them a legal tender. Of all corre spondence between the same respecting the taxes pro posed in the Legislative Council of that colony. Of all cm-- respondenee between the same respecting recent outrages by the natives in the Bay of Islands, and the abolition of the custom- house of that district. Of all correspondence respect ing the measures taken by the Governor of New Zealand to fulfil Lord Stanley's agreement of 12th May, 1843, respecting the grant of a conditional title to the lands of the New Zealand Company. Of all correspondence respecting the disallowance by the Governor of New Zealand of any awards made by the Commissioner of Land Claims respecting the Company's lands. Of all correspondence relating to a proclamation issued by the Governor of New Zealand allowing the sale of lands by the natives at a less price than that fixed by the Act of 5 and 6 Vict., c. 36." Mr. AG LIONBY seconded the motion. He should not, in doing so, offer many observations to the House, and even those he should address to the House he should offer with considera ble diffidence and hesitation. From inquiries that had been made from him by several Hon. Members, he collected that it was imagined there was an intention to hang upon this mo tion for papers the whole question between the New Zealand Company and her Majesty's Government, or rather he should say the Colonial-office department. But it was not his inten tion, nor that of the Hoe. Member for Dartmouth, to raise that question now ; it was one that might ultimately come be fore the House. The House and the public were well aware that grave allegations had been made by the New Zealand Company, that they had been treated by the Colonial-office with a gross want of faith and injustice. The House and the public were also aware that allegations had been made publicly to the effect that the Company had been thwarted in all their attempts to colonise New Zealand, that the progress of their settlements, and the happiness and interests of the settlers had been threatened by the hostility of the local Government of the islands, which was supposed to carry out the views of the Co lonial-office. It was alleged also that the local Government continued its hostile operations both under the late and present governors there. It was com plained that the late governor had a preference for the settle relents in the northern part of the island, which were partly founded by himself. As to the present governor, he was still more unfortunate, for he was complained of by all parties. Even the papers published in the seat of the local Govern ment stated that its proceedings were now, and had for some time been, of a character not to be justified by any kind of policy. It was not his intention to raise the question of the claims of the colonists, which had been discussed from time to time, and which had been referred to a Committee of that House ; and he only alluded tcrtne labours of that Committee for the purpose of stating his opinion that their report, which em bodied the results of their labours, ought not to be allowed to sink. That report had not been yet produced, out of consi deration to the Government and to the Right Honourable Baronet who was at the head of it, and who had before them matters which pressed more upo'd their attention. The question was now brought before the House because the claims of the colony and of the colonists had not met with that consideration which they deserved. The whole statement of the case was well worthy of the attention of the House. He had no intention, however, of entering fully into the subject. He had no wish to make this what was com monly called a New Zealand debate. If he were asked why the Hon. Member for Dartmouth, who was chairman of the Company, and himself, who was one of the Directors, brought forward this motion for papers, he would say that it was be cause they knew more of the evils suffered by the colony—more of the wretchedness and misery endured by the colonists—and which were entirely attributable to maladministration, than any Hon. Members of the House. The attention of the Prime Minister was seldom called to the colonies, and the Colonial Department, as at present constituted, was utterly indequate to the management of colonial affairs.—( Hear, hear.) The affairs of each separate colony did not receive that attention which they were entitled to. He did not intend to raise the question of colonial management, but he believed that no single office, constituted as the Colonial-office was, could pay that attention to colonial affairs which they demanded. '1 he reason why he addressed the House on this subject was, because he believed that he knew more about it than any other Hon. Member unconnected with the colony. He would ask, if any other Hon. Member had the slightest idea of the proceedings complained of by the colonists, and he thought that he might be eliciting information that could net be elicited by any other person. The Right lion. Baronet at the head of the Government was not aware of the state of the colonies. According to the routine of office, the affairs of any particular colony were not brought under the Right lion. Baronet's consideration, except under special cir cumstances. The Colonial-office itself did not know as much of the affairs of this colony as was known from private infor mation and accounts in the newspapers. But that in formation was as a sealed book to the generality of Members. It was not his intention to go iuto the details of this matter, but without embracing it in some measure, he could not per form his duty either to the New Zealand Company or to the public. Among the regulations of the Colonial-office was one preventing governors issuing debentures wtthout its au thority. He begged to ask whether the Government had sanc tioned the issuing of debentures for 15,0004 ? He wished to know whether the present system of governing the colony was sanctioned by her Majesty's Ministers—whether the governor of the colony had power to issue debentures without the authority of the English Executive? He should be glad if he could have the governor's minutes produced. It was a document which certainly did not form part of the present notice, but probably his calling attention to it would induce the Under- Secretary for the Colonies to lay it on the table of the House with the other papers. If the policy pursued by the local Go vernment were sanctioned by the English Government, he must say it was highly improper. He gathered this policy principally from those common sources of information which were open to everybody, but be could assure the House many of his private correspondents had confirmed the statements made in the local papers. What would the agricultural Mem bers who occupied the opposite benches say to a Government imposing a tax of 103. upon every sheep imported into the colony—a tax upon the very means by which an infant colony could thrive? But this was not all. What would they think of a tax being imposed upon every dog required to hind their sheep? It might be very well to tax dogs in England, where dogs were superfluous, but Hon. Members must remember that New Zealand dogs were rarely to be met with. One would think that the Government of a new colony would hold out an inducement to cleanliness—habits of health— morality, and decency. But what would they think of a local Government who proposed a tax of I/. upon every room above three? So that a family, large or small, had to herd themselves together in three rooms. This was a state of things that ought not to exist. He would not go fully into the subject, but he must remark, that in consequence of the course that had been pursued, nine of the countrymen of Eng land had fallen in cold blood, and after they had given up their farms. Had there been any inquiry into this subject? There had not ; and when it was demanded it was refused. He saw the Secretary for the Colonies had given a notice to trove for the report of the Governor of New South Wales ; that might throw some light upon the subject, but he was afraid it would not be productive of much good. lie hail to complain of another mode which had been resorted to, which was most unfair. Papers had been sent to the Co lonial-office by individuals, and had been issued thence as if they were official. The grossest acts of cruelty were perpe trated upon the settlers by the aborigines, and even upon wo men. The only punishment which had been inflicted by the Governor was, to take ten muskets from ten of the worst oi the rioters ; but lest this punishment might be considered too severe, the muskets were again restored to them. He would not now enter fully into the subject, but reserve himself for a future occasion ; nor would he mix ttp the claims of the Com pany with the questions which he now brought forward. He would, on a future occasion, move for papers showing the mode in which the Company had been treated by the Govern ment. lie wished to call the attention of the House and of the Government to the sales of land which had taken place in in that colony. The House was aware that, by Act of Parlia ment, the minimum was fixed at 1/. per acre. This was 1843. But it was currently reported that this Act had been evaded, and that the Governor by proclamation had allowed sales to take place by paying 2s. 6d. to the native, and I7s. hd. to the Go vernment. lie wished to know whether th at was the case . It was further said, that the Governor of th e Wellington dis trict had felt the injustice so much , t hat he issued a notifica tion to the effect, that no persons could purchase, except from the Crown. The House and the country should bear in mind that the colony of New Zealand contained 17,000 inhabitants, 10,000 of whom were recent settler';. lie was sorry to perceive that BANKRUPTS.
