The Lords Commissioners were the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, and the Earl of CARLISLE. Several Bills were then brought sip by messengers from the House of Commons. A conversation then ensued as to a petition which the Earl of ST. GERMANS had given notice of his intention to present from the trustees of the Liskeard Turnpike Roads, complaining of the exemption from tolls of stage coaches carrying letters. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that these coaches were employed iu carrying across the country letters brought by the railway, and that if the letters were not sent by these coaches some delay would take place in the delivery of them. The Farmers' Estate Society (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill was read a third time and passed. The Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill went through Commii tee. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day) at Twelve o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS, August 1. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) COUNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the following clause:—And whereas it is provided by the Act 9 and 10 Vic., c. 95, s. 40, that the greatest salaries to be re ceived in any case by the judges and clerks of the county courts, shall be 1,2001. by a judge, and 6001. by a clerk, be it enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act, the greatest salaries to be received in any case by the said judges and clerks respectively, shall be 1,500/. by a judge, and 700/. by a clerk. Mr. W. WILLIAMS opposed the clause, on the ground that circumstances did not call for an increase in the salary of county courts' judges. Mr. COLLINS protested against the clause, but not wishing to take any factious course et this late period of the session, he would not divide the House. Sir GEORGE PECHELL considered that a breach of faith had been committed in placing additional bur dens on these officers. They had now more arduous duties to perform than were contemplated by the first County Courts Act, and ought, in his opinion, to have at increased scale of remuneration. Even by the present clause it was left uncertain whether the judges were to have 1,0001. or 1,5001. a year. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it was in tended that the minimum salary should be 1,200/. Mr. CLAY would like to see express words intro duced into the Bill fixing the minimum at that amount. Sir G. STRICKLAND considered that as county courts were every day growing into importance and use fulness, the respectability of the judges ought to be kept up by giving them a salary, the amount of which would be sufficient to secure eminent and experienced lawyers. After some further discussion, Mr. W. WILLIAMS said, as he saw the general feeling of the House was in favour of the elause he would not press any amendment. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. HARDCASTLE moved a clause, the object of which was to provide a salary of 3001. to assistant-clerks, instead of paying them by the present mode of remu neratiou. _ _ _ Lord D. STUART said the assistant-clerk, in many cases, discharged all the real duties of tke first clerk, and ought to receive a fair salary for his labour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause. _ _ After some discussion the clause was withdrawn. The preamble was then agreed to, and the Chairman was directed to report the Bill. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This Bill was considered and agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to•morrow. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords brought up the following Bills, which their Lordships had agreed to:— Churches and Chapels (Ireland). Ecclesiastical Residences (Ireland). Charing cross Bridge. Farmers' Estate Society (Ireland). EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES MA- NAGE KENT (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY objected to going on with the Bill until the House was in possession of the report and evidence upon which it was founded. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the Bill was not founded upon the report or the evidence to which the Hon. Alember referred. The Bill was not compulsory, as that report r,c , immended, but was merely permissive. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY still entertained a strong ob jection to the Bill. Colonel THOMPSON asked if the Bill would force the parties to whom it referred to enter into certain con tracts whether they would or no?—(Cries of ".No, no.") Well, then, would it merely give power to the parties to make such contracts it they so thought fit?—(Yes, yes.) Mr. AGLION BY urged upon the Government the expediency of postponing the measure until next ses sion. He denied that it was a permissive Bill as it now stood. Sir B. HALL thought the lessees who would be affected by the Bill ought to have time to consider it before the House forwarded it another stage.—(Hear.) A former Bill, which was admirable for its purpose, and judicious in its provisions, was rejected by the other branch of the Legislature after a long deliberation, but this Bill was to be disposed of in a very different manner. It was to be pressed forward with indecent haste, end the parties who were most interested in its provisions were to be refused the opportunity of considering its details. Now if the Noble Lord imagined that he could pass a Bill of this important character within two days after it had come down from the Lords, he must be labouring under a species of episco phobia that was perfectly astounding.—(A laugh.) He protested against the House proceeding further with this Bill, which might benefit one or two parties, but would inflict great injustice upon the majority of the ecclesiastical leaseholders of the country. He did not object to the principle of the Bill, but to the hurried manner in which Government were attempting to pass it through, and he hoped the House would help him to get it postponed until next session. With the recent experience connected with the Church fresh in the minds of the people, it was exceedingly impolitic to proceed further with this Bill, which would exas perate the public mind, and render legislation upon the subject next session impossible.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said no pdlpable objection had been or could be urged against the Bill. The Hon. Baronet, according to his own statement, did not object to the principle of the Bill, but merely to some of its details. Well, then, why not go into Committee and see if it was possible to improve its provisions? There was nothing arbitrary in the Bill. The lessees would be left to make their own bargain with the ecclesiastical corporations, and it was quite impossible that it could inflict injury upon either side. Then what objection could there be to passing the even at this late period of the session, if it contained nothing unfair or unjust? No damage could accrue to any one from the passing of the Bill, and as the objections ehich had been urged by the Hon. Baronet could be removed in Com mittee he could not consent to postpone it until next session. Mr. HENLEY said the Noble Lord hat. entirely over looked the fact that the parties who were most interested in this Bill had had no opportunity whatever of con. sidering its provisions. That was the principle reason nrged in favour of delay, and he for one thought the reason was conclusive.—(Hear, hear.) The arrangements to be made under this Bill were to be regulated by an ob jectionable Board, who might lay down rules and establish principles which rendered the Bill virtually inoperative; and when the lessees themselves came to Parliament to legislate equit ably upon this subject, they would be met with the objection that a permissive law was already in existence which must have a fair trial before any further legis lation could take place. Now ho was anxious to guard against such a state of things as that, and he should support the Hon. Baronet opposite in obtaining the postponement of this measure. More than half the Members of the House had left town, and after the pledge which had been given by Government on this subject it would be a breach of faith to press this Bill forward with indecent haste. Mr. NE WDEGATE also objected to proceeding with the Bill, as it would give the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners power to interfere with the rights of tenants, and lessors the power to avoid all leases without compensat ing the lessees in the manner which the law and equity of the land provided. Mr. SPOONER, on the other hand, supported the Bill, and contended that it was impossible that any injustice could be done under its provisions, as before a lease could be avoided the consen t of the lessee as well as the lessor must be first obtained for the purpose. He did not, however, think that the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners were the proper parties to negotiate the avoid ance, but that was a matter of detail which could be remedied in Committee. Mr. J. A. SMITH thought that on the whole the wisest and best thing !hey could do was to go into Com mittee on this Bill. It must nor be understood, however, that in consenting to go into Committee he gave hi.; un qualified approval to the principle of the Bill, nor did he disagree with those Honourable Members who looked upon it as au unfortunate cirewinitance that a Bill of this nature and importance should be introduced at this late period of the session. Like other Hon. Members who had preceded him, he protested against the Ecclesiastical Commissioners having power to form the rules and regulations upon which the provi sions of this Bill were to be put in force, and when they got into Committee he hoped the clause giving them that power would be struck out of the Bill altogether. Lord D. STUART thought it a sufficient reason why they should not proceed with this Bill, that the parties most interested in its provisions had not yet had an op portunity of considering its provisions. and he should therefore move the adjuurment of the debate. Mr. ALCOCK said many of his consituents were lessee under the Bishop of Winchester, and as they had been afforded no opportunity of considering even the principle of the Bill, let alone its details, he should vote against going into Committee. Mr. AGLIONBY, although somewhat opposed to the Bill, would nevertheless vote for going into Committee in the hope of being able to improve its provisions and remove some of the objections which had been taken to the clauses. For his own part he was quite content to leave the interests of all parties in the hands of the pre sent Commissioners. Mr. RICE expressed himself entirely of the same opinion as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had just sat down, that all matters were safe in the hands of the Commissioners. Mr. AIULLINGS was afraid that the interests of the iesses9s were being overlooked. He was entirely favour able to :he principle of the present Bill, but he thought alterations ought to be made in it to protect the rights of the lessees. After a few words from Lord J. RUSSELL, The House divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment Against it .., ... Majority ~. 30 51 -21 On our return to the gallery, Mr. STUART complained of the conduct of the Go vernment in forcing on this measure, which Honourable Members had not had time to consider. He thought there was great necessity for delay. He hoped. the NOble Lord would not drive the House into discussion and division in order to obtain time for consideration of the Bill. Yr. FREWEN said that he should more that the He,',ie should go into Committee on the Bill on this day thr4y months, for the purpose of giving time for consi deration. He protested against Bills being brought down from the other House at this late period of the sessioa and forced through this House. Sir B. HALL hoped that if the House went into Committee, it would be on the understanding that the Bill should not he Massed into law this session. Mr. CAYLEY thought that unless some provision were introduced into the Bill for the protection of the lessee, they ought not to attempt to carry it on. He hoped the Government would make a promise to this effect. Colonel SIBTHORP supported the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL declined to pledge himself to in troduce any clause into the Bill, as suggested by the Hon. Member fur the North Riding. In reference to ' this subject, he wished to inform the House that it was not his intention to pro;leed with the Charitable Trusts Bill this session. —(Hear, .bear.) Mr. HENLEY thought the best course would be to zo into Committee now on the Bill on the understanding that it should not be p rocee d e d with further this session. Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not think that they would be gaining anything by this course, as Hon. Members would not consent next year to take the Bill intact as it came from th e C omm ittee of this year, with out proposing their amendments anew. The House then divided, when there appeared For going into Committee 48 Against it 37 Majority —ll Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. Cayley, said he would consent to the Bill now going into Committee pro forma, and then to postpone the further proceeding of the Bill in Committee until Monday. The Bill then went pro forma through Committee, and was fixed fur Monday at five o'clock. Lord J. RUSSELL also intimated that the House would sit at twelve on Monday; and that the first Bill to be then proceeded with was the Patent Law Amend ment Bill. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 4) BILL. Mr. T. EGER CON having presented a petition, signed by several members of the town council and one third of the rated inhabitants of Macclesfield, praying that that borough might be included in the operation of the Bill. The House went into Committee, and the several clauses were agreed to. On the schedule being read, Mr. T. EGERTON moved the insertion of Maceles• field in that part of the Bill. Mr. BROCKLEHURST opposed the motion, and contended that, although one-third of the ratepayers might hare signed the petition presented by the Hon. Gentleman, yet that the remaining two-thirds objected to the prayer of the petition altogether. Mr. J. WILLIAMS also opposed the motion, and said he was convinced that the teeling of the majority of the inhabitants was hostile to the Bill. Mr. G. LEIGH supported the motion, and expressed his opinion that it was absolutely necessary that the town of Macclesfield should be included ie the Bill. Lord SEYMOUR also supported the motion, observ ing that the Board of Health were favourable to the extension of the provisions of the Bill to that town. Mr. MUNTZ opposed the motion; and, After a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE, The Committee divided, when there appeared— For inserting Macclesfield in the schedule 50 Again , t it ... ••• 16 MacclesfieldMajority w a was then t e h n e inserted otio n 3 n schedule, the preamble having been agreed to, the Hou se resumed, and the CHAIRMAN reported progre•s. r - e, and 4 CAN lERBURY ASSOCIATION BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill. Sir J. PARINGTON sAd that by an arrangement which he had made with the Noble Lord at, the head of the Government, that Noble Lord had undertaken that he (Sir J. Pukington) should have this evening to bring on the subject of which he had given notice of a motion (sugar refining in bond)—a subject of great importance to the parties interested and the public at large. There were only five orders now on the paper to be disposed of before his motion came on, and he feared when they were gone through he would find himself in the position of Mr. Bourke, who " went on refining while others were dining." lie hoped no more orders would be gone through until he was afforded an opportunity of bring ing on his motion. Mr. C. LEWIS said it was understood that all the orders were to be disposed of before the Hon. Gentle man's motion was to be brought on. The remaining orders would not take up much time. Sir J. FAKING TON begged to say that the under stariding was very different from that stated by the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. C. LEWIS—This is not a Government Bill. The several clauses of the Bill were agreed to, the preamble was passed, and the House resumed. NUISANCES' REMOVAL AND DISEASES PRE- MENTION BILL. On the order of the day for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON again appealed to the Right Hon. Gentlemen on the Treasury bench not to proceed with any further orders until he could bring on his me- Lion. Ho moved that the order of the day be postponed. Lord SEYMOUR said the Bill would not occupy more than a few minutes. Sir J. PAKINGTON would not withdraw his motion unless the Government kept good faith with him. Lord PALMERSTON observed that undoubtedly an arrangement had been made with the Hon. Gentleman, and if the orders on the paper were matters of import ance which would create discussion they would not be pressed, but they were mere matters of form. The Hon. Gentleman did not press his motion, and the Bill passed through Committee. The Petty Sessions (Ireland) Amended Bill was con sidered, the amendments were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be reported. The Summary Jurisdiction (Ireland) Bill was also considered as amended; the amendments agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be reported. The Collection of Fines, &c. (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill as amended was considered; the amendmeuts agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be reported. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here advanced to the table, snd summoned the House to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several Bills. the The n.SPEAKER, Membersaccompanied d to their Lordships' House, and after a short absence present, abeyeetrhdeieggreater p onion of re turned, when accordingly proceeded (tor which se The SPEAKER announced that the Roya e l L as e s r e d n s t , had been given to several Bills, report.) Sir O eantrineetuartnienwaosf orderedn th e motion relating to of juvenileJ PAKlNGTON,offenders (in e Parliamentary paßpeEr,FNlNo.Ete,soutGseAssß.ioa 1849). Mr. LABOUCHERE presented a petition from 23 out of 25 or 27 sugar refining houses in London against any alteration in the present law regulating the system of refining sugars. Sir J. PAKINGTON then rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice. After the unex pectedly protracted sitting of the morning, he felt that he brought forward this subject at a disadvantage; but his justification was, that he could not allow the session to close without pressing it on the attention of Parlia ment as of the utmost importance to the classes imme diately concerned in this question. He approached it w ith no party feeling or party object; and his desire was entirely to make a calm appeal to the House and to the Government for justice to these clases. He therefore hoped he would be met with no pretexts of expedience , or with the views of some three-and-twenty London houses; but that they would say whether or no, by for ce of argument, and on the ground of consistency and jus tice, a material alteration ought not to be made in the laws regulating the refining of sugar in this country. There were two classes affected by the present law, as regarded the refining of sugar—one the refiners, the other the British grower in the colonies. Reverting to the Eli st-narned class, from some of whom the Right Hon. Gentleman had presented a petition, he (Sir J. Puking ton) was aware that a large proportion of the London refiners were opposed to the change, end that the re finers generally were divided on this subject; but he was Also aware that, taking England and Scotland into conside ration, a large number—he talieved numerically one- I half, and he was certain folly that amount in point of ' quantity—were favourable to the change he desired, and most anxious to promote it. For the last twenty years sugar had been allowed to be refined in bond in this country for exportation, though not for home con sum ptiou. The consequence of this was that the refiner for home consumption laboured under a double disad vantage. He was met by the Dutch refiner on the one side, who received a bounty from his Government equal to 2s. 6d. on the cwt. upon all refined sugar exported from Holland; while on the other hand he was cramped by the restrictions imposed by the law upon his trade. The English refiners were, under these circumstances, not able to compete with the foreign refiner, nor even with the native refiner for exportation. They wished, therefore, to have the option of refining in bond, in the same way as the latter, end so to be enabled to come upon fair terms to the home market. To come into the market at present they were obliged to resort to the vexatious and costly course of exporting their produce to Jersey or Guernsey, so as that it should touch the land; and then of re-importing it as refined sugar from abroad; being by this means exposed to double charges, and all the hardships of a circuitous transfer of their property, because of an absurd and oppressive law. lie (Sir J. Pakington) bad been assured by one large refining house that last year alone it cost them no less than 1,300/ to bring their sugar into the home market in that manner. Would the Government defend the law which made such a course of proceeding imperative upon men only desir ous of fairly exercising their trade? Then there were this refiners in Scotland, many of whom by means of scientific inventions had been enabled to work coarse sugar up into fine; but who said that if the existing law was persevered in, when all sugars were placed on a par in point of duty, their trade would altogether cease. Turning, however, from sugar refiners to the more im portant part of the subject—namely. that the Govern ment and the House were bound, in justice to the British colonists, to carry out their own legislation as regarded free trade—how did it stand? The British grower was at present under a most serious disadvantage in respect of these laws. He (Sir J. Pakington) would not then refer to the sugar duties, as he had given a notice respecting them for the next session, and he should merely advert to them, therefore, only in so far as they affected the question of refining sugar in bond. Many lion. Members no doubt thought that for reasons of state policy it was desirable to admit all sugars at an equal duty. He thought differently; but at all events no one could deny that great hardships were inflicted on the West India colonists, and that in carrying out those principles of legislation the Government had no right to shape laws so as to inflict additional injustice, by placing British sugar in the position of disadvantage in which it was placed at present. The differential duty on sugar under the Act of 1848 was ss. 6d. per cwt., it was true; but such was the operation of the law regu lating refining, that at least Is. 6i. per cwt. of that sum had to be allowed for on the comparison in consequence of the difference in quality of the British grown and foreign sugars. Assuming no change to take place until 1854, when sugars—British and foreign—were to be placed on an equality as regarded duty, he was pre pared to prove that instead of equality, it would be most oppressive to the British grower. After 1854 there would ba a duty of 13s. 4d. per cwt. on refined sugar; and a duty of 10s. per cwt. upon white clayed, British Muscovado, and foreign brown clayed sugar. The whole of the British sugar, or at least nine teenth-twentieths of it, which was of an in ferior character, would therefore have to pay only the same duty as the superior sugars from Havannah and Java. The difference as regarded produce in re fining was, however, enormous, because while the British colonial sugars gave in some instances only 321 b. to the cwt., and upon the average not more than 50Ib. of re fined produce, the superior sugars of the Havannah and Java yielded no less than an average of 901 b. in the cwt. Therefore, when the sugar growers of the East Indies paid the same duty as those of Cuba and Java, it was obviously unjust. It was therefore ho demanded that the Government should accede to his proposition, and permit the refiners to pay the duty only on the quantity refined. This would be an ad valorem duty; it would, therefore, be a duty not new in principle to the revenue, and it would, moreover, he an act of justice to the British colonies as well as to the public.—(Hear, hear.) Deputations on the subject had waited on the Noble Lord and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but they had learned nothing from either. It was, therefore, fur the Government to state what was intended. The subject, however, was not a new one. It had been before Parlia ment, and it had found an advocate in the lion. Member for Westbury in 1848. That Hon. Member had sat on the Committee of that year, presided over by the late lamented Lord G. Bentinck, and, among several sets of resolutions, one set was proposed by that Hon. Member, to the effect, that from the evidence taken, it appeared clear that the mode of levying the duty, without suffi cient regard to the variation of its qualities, imposed practical disadvantages on the producer in the British colonies, That was a recognition of the principle he (Sir J. Pakington) contended for. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the same year, said he could not at the present introduce a measure for refining sugar in bond, but that he was far from underrating its importance to the trade. He (Sir J. Pakington) did not contend that these amounted to promises; but when the Chancellor of the Exchequer said he was not prepared " at the present" to introduce a measure on the subject, it was a fair presumption that the Government would bring in a measure of that kind on a future day. The Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade had also on that occasion agreed with his colleague, stating that if it were possible to do so with security to the revenue, it would be a most important boon to the West India interests. He (Sir J. Pakington) now called ou the Right Honourable Gentleman to show how the revenue could be endangered by the concession. The Right Hon. Gentleman had, in presenting the petition from the sugar refiners of London, only strengthened his (Sir J. Pak ingtors's) argument. He bore the fullest testimony to the respectability of these gentlemen; but what he ob jected to Was, that they had got a good thing, and they naturally wished to keep it. The real secret of their objec tion to change lay in the fact, that under the existing law, as the duty was paid at the same time as the sugar was purchased, it required a very large capital to enter the trade. The consequence was, that the trade had fallen into a few hands; and a monopoly was practically esta blished which they desired to maintain. The fact was, that about ten or twelve houses controlled the sugar market of the country in a manner entirely inconsistent with the interest of the consumer. That was the way in which he dealt with the petition presented by the Right Hon. Gentleman. As an instance of the opera tion of the law in this respect, he would state a single fact. On sth July last a fall took place in the duty on British sugar equal to ls. per cwt., and on that on foreign sugar equal to Is. 6d. per cwt. A more than commen surate fall in the price of the article followed; raw sugar going down to the extent of 2s. per cwt. But would the House believe it, the price of refined sugar remained, notwithstanding this fall, the same as before; and the refiner, therefore, pocketed, as against the public, the 2s. per cwt. difference. There was also another cage. No doubt the sugar brokers of the country were opposed to change in the law; but why? They were paid a com mission of e l; per cent. on the sales, and as the duty and sugar were pail for together— both being included in the transaction, their gain was all the greater. He asked the Government, however, to bear in mind their own princi ples of free trade, and to give the advantage to the con sumer. One of the many objections that could be urged against the proposal was an apprehension of danger to the revenue; but he demanded to have it shown how. He would be answered, no doubt, that it would effect the revenue directly in the first instance; t!,n s d, r l e n_ the second, indirectly, by promoting fraud. A garded the first objection, no doubt the resu lt of the change desired would be that all the inf er o r sug sugarsars would be refined in bond, while the dsup.ior d that to would be refined out of bond; a nd he atte some extent the revenue from that soumroicveermnmigehutt be affected. But he denied the right of o a o u r y e g ; - c and he had recruit its revenue from an unjuisgtosry law which would no objection whatever to a c d on: ,-.Pbuond. This would pro cause all sugars to be refine duce a counterbalance, and cempendsate thetoindirect loss for the possible loss. by fraud, he only askesduthe Government to tell him how gar had been refined in bond for it could take place? exportation for the lastd - tvi .‘ e v n h ty at ye h a e rs s , ou a g n h d t n w o acomplaint of fraud had been ma e. he appealed to extend that system to sugar for the home market as well as to sugar for exportation. Finally, to the sense of justice of the House and to the consist ency of the Government, and concluded by proposing the following re solution:—" That, in the o pi n i on of this House, the British refiners of sugar should be permitted to refine in bond, and to enter their manufacture for home consumption, upon payment of the same duties as are levied upon refined sugar imported into this country. M r . LABOUCIIERE would state to the House in a few words the reason why he could not agree to the resolution; but, before doing so, he expressed his deep regret at the unavoidable absence of his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had given the subject such careful consideration from every point of view in which it could be looked at. He did not at all dispute that restrictions imposed on refined sugar, like all oth er restr i ct i ons, operated unfavourably on those concerned in the part i cu l a r case to which t he y ap plied, and it wou ld b e an undoubted boon to all parties if sugar could be imported and refined for home consump tion duty free. But a revenue to the amount of 4,000,0001. was involved iu the c onsideration, and the question was whether they were prepared to make that sacrifice. It was the anxious desire of the Government to remove all needless restrictions. But the provision of which the Hon. Baronet complained was, that, as under the present system the sug ar coming from the British o i lonics was imported in a coarser state than that which c ca use from Cuba and other foreign countries, the former was subjected to discouragement by the imposition of a duty which was meant to apply equally to fo reign and English sugar. The question was maturely considered by the Committee which sat in 1848, and ov er which Lord G. Bentinck presided , and the Hon. Member fur Westbury coincided with the other Members in thinking that a substantial grievance was thereby inflicted on the West Indian interest. But did no alteration take place in consequence of that investi gation? On the contrary, a material change was made on that very ground, which had materially diminished that grievance. He believed that tho sugar now i m . ported from the British possessions approached far more nearly to the qualities of foreign sugar than before. A great deal of energy and activity had been displa) ed, and the result had been a great improvement in the process of working the sugar. It was also satisfac toryjt to know that no reaso n existed for supposing that any diminution in the importation of sugar from our colonies had taken place of late years. The importation from the West Indies had somewhat fallen off during the present year; but that was attributable to the short sup- Jamaica in consequenc© of the cholera. ply furnished by Bet this did not apply to the other West Indian colonies But, taking the triennial average, there s..as no reason to believe that the supply of sugar from our colonies was decreasing, eltbouo he rejoiced to say that from other quarters the supply had greatly increased, to the great advantage of the revenue and the consumer, and, he hoped and believed, without any injury to the prcelsucer in the, West or East Indies. In the three years from 1839 to 1841 inclusive the importa tion from the British West Indies was 9 ,389,000 cwt.; from 1842 to 1844 inclusive, 2,487,000 ewt.; from 1845 to 1847 inclusive, 2,733,000 cwt.; and from 1848 to 1850, 2,740,000 cwt. From the Mauritius the increase bad been larger. In the first period, the importation was 620,000 cwt.; in the second, 568,000 cwt.; in the third, 918,000 cwt.; and in the last, 929,000 cwt. From the East Indies it was, in the first period, 746 000 cwt.; in tee second, 1,044,000 cwt.; in the third, 1,386,000 cwt.; and for the last, 1,381,000 cwt. With regard to price s also our producers had no right to complain, for the price for the four years ending Dec. 31, 1842, was 225.; the four years ending 1845, 235.; the four years ending 1849, 265.; and the four years ending 1850, 275. He now came to the real objection to the motion. The Ho nourable Baronet had treated rather lightly the petition of the London sugar refiners which he had laid on the table that evening. It was signed by almost every sugar refiner in this town, and the sugar-refining trade in London was something larger than that of the whole of the rest of the United Kingdom, so that he altogether denied the accuracy of the statement that there teas a division amongst the refiners on the subject. Ho denied that the sugar refiners of Glasgow and Liverpool were all of the other way of thinking. lie denied, from any representations which had come to his knowledge from the sugar refiners elsewhere, that anything like a unanimous feeling existed in favour of the alteration pressed for by the Hon. Baronet. As he had already stated, the case had been submitted to the Government, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, after going into the whole case with a sincere desire to afford as much liberty to the sugar refiners as was consistent with the interests of the revenue, after receiving repeated deputations from the sugar refiners, and employing some of the most ex perienced officers of the Excise to examine into the pro cess of refining, saw that it would be impossible to afford the relief required without imposing numerous restric tions; and when these restrictions were submitted to the sugar refiners, they did not eetempt to gainsay the report of the officers, but said they would rather not take the privileges accompanied with the restrictions. The chief difficulty lay in the com plicated nature of the refining process, the residue of one operation being carried to another, so that a sys tem of restrictions, intermeddliug, and watching would he the necessary result. The sugar refining for expor tath n was in the hands of a very few, who conducted their operations on a very large scale, and it was not so difficult to conduct this part of the trade consistently with the security of the public revenue; but it would be im possible to do so with a view to the home market. It would be necessary that those engaged in it should alter the situation of their premises and rebuild them; and even then there would be the greatest risk of fraud. With these facts established by the testimony of prac tical authorities, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not have done his duty to the public revenue if he had con ceded the relaxation sought. He believed that those who were anxious for the change were persons who had two establishments—one in bond for export, and the other out of bond for the home market; but the other part 0f the trade were of opinion that to yi e ld to th e ir desire would be to inflict injustice on the rest. A resolution was passed on the 7th of April of the present year, by a meeting at which all the great sugar refiners were as sembled, in which it wis resolved that, referring to the report of the officers of Excise in 1849, wherein it was stated that in order to protect the revenve from fraud it would be necessary to impose inconvenient restrictions. and having fully considered the present state of the sugar trade, it was not for the interest of the trade to feria on the Government at the present time the consideration of a law for altering the system. With the evidence to which he had referred, and this expression of opinion on the part of those engaged in th e tr a d e , h e ven tured to express a confident hope that tee House would not sanc tion the motion of the Hon. Baronet. Mr. MITCHELL thought the speech just delivered by the Right Hon. Gentleman fully justified the Hon. Baronet in bringing forward the motion, even at this ad' vanced period of the session; for grounds so weak for resisting a proposal which he had admitted to be just he had never heard. The object of the petition to which reference had been made was to keep the trade in the hands of a few large capitalists and exclude all others. Such was not the policy of the country and of a very large majority of the sugar-refiners of this country. The Right Hon. Gentleman had hinted at dangers to the revenue, but had given no reasons for his apprehea ° sinus; and with respect to the testimony on which here' lied he should be the last to admit the authority of 9 121 ' cers acting under the Board of Excise upon such a point. If improvement was to be made it must come from some extraneous power. The best answer to the 0 13 ' jections urged against the motion was, that the system been in practical operati on f or e i g ht een years with' out any allegation that fraud had been practised. Th e safeguard against fraud was found in th e l arge c apital of those engaged in the trade, which afforded a sure remedl . to the Government and the number of workpeople none °, sarily employed, which rendered all attempts at frau a impracticable from the certainty of detection. Mr. WILSON rose to address the House, when An Hoer. MEMBER moved that the House be 7, counted, and only thirty-seven Members bein g preen" the House adjourned at a Quarter to Nine o'clock.

Grocers'-hall, Aug. 1. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Aug. 1.) SUGAR.—To-day the demand was not better for West India Sugar, still holders refused to sell grocery or refining qualities under former rates. The pur chases are 541, making for the week 2,303 hhds, &e. The market for both Colonial and Foreign Sugar, on the whole, closes with a firmer appearance. RETINED.—For home trade goods there is still a firm ' market, with a fair business doing; low to fine grocery Lumps realise from 46s to 49s per cwt. Crushed Sugar for exportation is still operated in with much caution, and rates are expected to rule lower. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon holders of Mauritius Sugar were firmer, and at public sale 3,469 bags were nearly all taken in rather above the value, good to fine yellow at 37s to 38s 6d, low to good mid 34s to 365, good to fine brown 31s 6d to 33s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon full rates were obtained for Bengal Sugar, and there was rather more demand for the better qualities. At public sale 1,005 bags sold at 38s 6d to 41s for ord and good white Bemires, mid grainy yellow 39s to 405 6d. There was no public sale of Madras, but dry and grainy kinds are rather more in demand privately at previous terms. FOREIGN.—To-day there was little business done pri vately in Foreign Sugar, still duty paid parcels or float ing cargoes cannot be obtained under previous terms. None of any sort was offered at auction. There are several buyers at a small decline. MoLessEs.—A fair amount of business has been con cluded this week, and holders have refused to sell at any further reduction; the rates obtained for Antigua have been 15s to 15s 6d, other sorts of West India 12s 6d to 14s 6d; Porto Rico and Cuba 13s 6d to 14s; Bengal and Mauritius lls 6d to 12s per cwt. Honey is offered rather under previous rates. COCOA.—Holders of British Plantation are unable to obtain any advance, the stock bei❑g 4,400 bags more than last year, and arrivals near at hand ; a fair business has, however, been concluded privately, low to mid red Trinidad at 40s to 435, good to fine 44s to 50s, grey from 36s to 40s, and Grenada 33s to 40s; the con sumption appears to be on the increase. There are yet few buyers of Foreign; Bahia and Para can be ob tained at 25s to 275, and Guayaquil 29s to 30s per cwt; at auction 200 bgs Para were taken in above the value: the chief portion of the stock of Cocoa here consists of inferior quality. COME.—This afternoon the demand for Coffee was brisk both for home consumption and exportation. The public sales went at stiff rates; 5,146 bags Costa Rica, good to fine ord at 43s 6d to 455, fine fine ord 46s to 51s, superior bold colory 60s 6d to 655, and damaged 41s to 455; 37 casks 57 bags Plantation Ceylon, good mid and good 55s 6d to 60s, and triage 43s to 43s 6d; several pur chases were made in Native Ceylon, and rates closed firmly at 38s to 39s according to quality. TEA.—There has been little desire to operate in Con gou this week, and merchants are disposed to sell; low to good ord at 10d to 104 d, medium to rather strong blackish leaf 11d to ls, and good to fine kinds is Ofd to Is 7d; the supply is also on the increase, and fine qualities are least wanted. In better sorts of Green sales have been small, and the rates accepted are rather under those current in the previous week, but medium and low kinds have been in good demand at pre vious terms, Young Hyson and Canton Gunpowder being most in request. In Oolong several purchases have been made at is to is 7d, but at these terms mer chants are disposed to sell, on account of an increasing supply. Scented and Pekoe sorts are offered at moderate terms. _ _ RICE.—To day Rico met with little attention, and of 5,052 bags Madras, at auction, not above half sold at steady rates; ord and good Bengal grain went at 8s to 9s, mid and good pinkey 7s 6d to Bs, and damaged 6s to Ss per cwt. Of Sago Flour the sound of 2,063 bags was nearly all taken in at 14s 6J to 15s, but damaged sold at 6s to 12s 6d. Of Sago 33 bags sold at 18s for fair pearl. SPICES. —To-day at public sale 267 cs Cochin Ginger sold at low rates, and went at 44s to 48s 6d for mid. Of damaged African 14 bgs went at 235, and 12 csks Nut megs, fine limed 2s Bd, low and mid is 4d to 2s. Smarrs.—There has been a good demand for East India Rum, and rates are firm at is 3id to Is 4d per gallon proof; the supply is also moderate. Orders have increased for Leeward Island, and the parcels sold were at is 5d to is 6d proof. In Demerara several transac tions have taken place at Is id to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 over proof ; and merchants are less disposed to press sales. There is an increased demand for Jamaica, both for home consumption and ship ping. The rates paid for fine and superior are 3s 2d to 4s4d for 35 to 38 per cent over proof: good mid to good 32 to 35 over 2s 8d to 3s, and inferior 30 to 33 over proof 2s 3d to 2s 7d. The demand for Brandy is better than it was last week ; there is, how ever, little prospect of rates advancing, stock being large. Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1850 can be obtained at 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 1849 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s lid to 5s Id, older 5s 4d to 7s; low to mid 2s 6d to 3s 6d; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d. British made Spirit is not cheaper, but the demand has been limited at 9s 5d to 9s 6d; and Gin for exportation at 2s 6d. Geneva is is 7d to Is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s. INDlGO.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made in East India fur home consumption this week, and ex port orders are also on the increase; holders display firmness, and obtain a small advance on late sale rates. Spanish met with increased attention, and realised an advance of 2d per lb. At auction 106 serous Guatemala were sold at Is 9d to 3s 4d for Cortes; and at 3s 3d to 4s 6d for Sobres. There is every prospect of a further in crease taking place in the demand for Indigo for all purposes. CocurNEar..—To-day the public sales of Cochineal went at rather lower rates, but 236 bags all sold; Honduras silvers, ord mid 23 lld to 3s id, good and fine black Mexican silvers, mid and good 33 to 33 3d, black 3s 4d to 3s 6d.

The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from Waterford, praying for increased postal communication. The Marquis of CLANRIC ARDE explained the extortionate charges of the Irish railway companies. The Irish companies in many instances charged more than double what the English railway companies charged. In some instances, where English companies charged 2d., the Irish companies charged for the same service 2s. The Post-office paid the South-Eastern Company for the conveyance of the continental mail 2s. 3d. per mile, while the Irish companies charged 45.6 d, PETITIONS. The Eirl of MALMESBURY presented a petition from Jersey for the preservation of the Crystal Palace. He considered this a most absurd petition, for he could not imagine what interest the petitioners could have in the matter. The Earl of CARLISLE presented several petitions ,n favour of the preservation of the Crystal Palace. NEW FOREST DEER REMOVAL. BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL PROMOTIONS. Earl TALBOT moved for a copy of the Order in Ginned recently issued for the regulation of promotions in the navy. He knew that he brought this motion forward under great disadvantages at this late period of the session, when the business was nearly wound up and the anneal fish dinner was fixed for to morrow. He considered that this measure inflicted a great injustice on the officers in the service, and he hoped they would undergo revision. Several officers would be very hardly treated by this Order in Council, by being placed against their wills on the reserved list, and he had received several letters from some of these officers com plaining of that injustice. Among those who were thus unfairly treated were Sir A. Green, Rear-Admiral Forbes, Sir John Ross, Sir George Westphal', Captain O'Brien. One of the officers who had been placed upon the reserved list, on the ground that he had not served a sufficient time afloat, had applied for employment no less than 80 times—once a quarter, for twenty years, he had applied to the Admiralty for employment. There were great complaints in the service that employment was only given to particular men and particular sets, to the exclusion of others. He wished to know whether coast guard service and inspecting service, and gunner service, would reckon for promotion. There were many officers constantly employed. Now the continued employ ment of Sir W. Parker in the Mediterranean was a reflection on all other officers, as if there were no other officers capable of commanding it. It was said ho was to have another command when he came home, and if so it was a shame. Then again Captain Martin had served his time in com mand of his fleet. Why was not he called home, and why were others excluded ? He did not mean to cast the slightest reflection on those gallant officers, who were admirably fitted for their commands, and had always done their duty, but it was an injustice to others not to give them tho same chance of service as had been given to those officers. With these perpetual changes introduced by Orders in Council naval officers did not know what they had to trust to. He thought that every officer, as the time approached when he would be eligible for a flag, should have an op portunity afforded him of commanding a ship, and to serve out his time. The Noble Earl concluded by moving formally for the production of the Order in Council. Earl GREY could have no objection to grant the motion for the production of the Orders in Council. With regard to the production of the rules adopted by the Admiralty for their guidance, in the selection of their officers, those rules were never reduced to writing. Earl TALBOT would not press for their production. Earl GREY did not object to the production of the other papers, and when the Noble Earl drew the attention of the House to those papers, then would be the time to discuss the question which the Noble Earl wished to raise. It was undoubtedly a matter of great importance to reduce our overburdened navy list, and such a reduction would be not less beneficial to the service than to the public. He regretted that his Noble Friend had adopted the dangerous and unconstitu►ional practice of canvassing the claims of particular officers. It w as a practice dangerous to the interests of the service and the constitution of the country. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said he thougt it most desirable that officers should know what were the rules of the Admiralty with respect to promotion, so that they might be aware of what they had to expect. He should, therefore, propose that the motion should be left in its integrity. The Earl of MINTO said that there were no such formal rules as those refered to in the latter part of the motion. The Noble Earl (Earl Minto), i❑ conclusion, ob served that he believed there was no objection to grant the former part of the motion of the Noble Earl opposite (Earl Talbot), and which was in terms to the following effect, namely, "For copies of so much of the Orders in Council of the 20th June, 1827, and the 10th August, "1840, as related to the promotion of captains and com manders in the navy." Earl TALBOT in briefly replying, wished to advert to one point alluded to by the Noble Earl (Earl Grey) who had succeeded him in that discussion. It had been observed that he wanted only to promote the interests of the profession, without at all considering those of the public; now he thought he could not substantially ad vance the interests of the profession without advancing those of the public also. The first part of the motion was then agreed to, and the second negatived without a division. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was then given by Commission to the following Bills: Chief Justices' Stlaries. Woods, Forests, & e . Tithe Rent-charge Assessment. Arrest of Absconding Debtors. Expenses of Prosecutions. Hainault Forest. Victoria-park.
