EVENING EIJLTION. could comider himself justified in making it. Upon that pro- ' position the Noble Lord obtained a majority in this House, but on a doubt being thrown out by my Right Hon. Friend the Member for Tamworth, though the Noble Lord had a majority of this Hour% he withdrew the project, and then told the people of England that he was frustrated by the Members on this side of the House. In the present Session the Noble Lord has been asked whether it was his intention again to bring the measure forward—to which he answered, I like it very much, I think it is very desirable, but I Ihould like to knew what Gentlemen on the other side of the House think upon it, observing, that by that he should be guided as to whether he should bring it forward or not. This is the course pursued by the Government which is to have the confidence of the people !—( Hear, hear.) When I was in Lord Grey's Administration a measure was proposed by Lord Althorp for a satisfactory plan of getting rid of Church rates. The measure was brought forward by Lord Grey, and it is no secret that when I quitted that Administra tion, one of the last things said to me was—" Of course, out of office, as in office, you will support the principle of getting rid of Church-rates." To which I answered that " I cer tainly would." The measure was brought forward, but from that hour in 1834, up to the present year, MO, not withstanding the outcry that has been raised against Church-rates, no attempt has been made to carry it farther. But had not the present Ministry attempted to deal with this question? Oh, yes ! They brought forward another project, avowedly for the purpose of doing away with Church rates, and for supplying a fund out of the improved value of ecclesiastical property for replacing them. That measure was brought forward by the Government, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer supported it. But what happened with respect to it? Why, it was carried by a small majority, and then it was seat to a Select Committee. The consequence of which reference was what might have been expected—the plan was sifted, and the calculations contained in it blown into air.—( Hear, hear.) And from that hour to the present nothing more has been done.—(Hear, hear.) For the last three years Government have been pressed upon the subject of Joint Stock Banks—a subject which I consider one of the greatest importance ; and what has been done upon that ? Why year after year was allowed to pass away ; the subject was then referred to a Committee, and there the matter rests at present. Then with respect to the Charter of the Rank of Ire land. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had determined to renew the Charter of that Bank. He brought forward a scheme which he said would be desirable for all par ties. The subject was postponed week after week, and ultimately the Chancellor of the Exchequer was beaten upon that subject by the Hon. Member for Dublin, who professsed to have such confidence in the present Go vernment. By that arrangement, according to the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a sum of upwards of 20,000/. had been lost to the country. There are some mea sures on which the Government pique themselves, and among the rest the most prominent is Post-Office Reform. They . . pride themselves upon having introduced this measure at a time when the revenue of the country was in a declining condition ; whereas it was well known that the pressure from without, and the idea of gaining a temporary popularity, induced them to bring the measure forward, and thereby endanger the revenue of the country.—(Hear, hear, hear. ) Do you know this to be a beneficial measure, or believe that, in the face of the finances, you could safely undertake it or not ? If you did believe it to le a beneficial measure, you ought to have adopted and supported it; to have considered it well first—not to have yielded to clamour—hut considering it well, as Government brought it forward under your responsibility, and if bad, dangerous, and ruinous to the finances of the country, you ought sooner to have abandoned office—to have waived all personal considerations—than have been driven to endanger the resources of the country, of which you were the responsible Ministers. And I tell you this, that you would have found you had taken that ground which would have secured you, as on former occasions, the support of your political opponents. .....( Hear, hear.) Had you honestly told us that the condition of the revenue was such that you durst not hazard a new and dangerous experiment, you might safely have thrown up the Government, in the confidence that no set of men durst be rash enough or dishonest enough to have taken it under such circumstances.—( Loud cheers.) I have stated my notion of what are the requisites of confidence in a Government. I speak with all respect ; but if there be one term in the Eng lish language which conveys opposite opinions, it is the term content—(Laughter)—and if there be, of the not one, but many epithets which apply to an Administration, one more contemptuous than another as regards their principles, their firmness, and their independence, it is the epithets applied on former occasions by some who have stated their confidence to-night—that of a squeezable Ministry.—(Laughter and cheers.) I ask what that epithet means? I will tell you—re t to hold that which you believe to be right—and not to resist that which you hold to he wrong.—(Cheers.) The yielding bit by bit, little by little, inch by inch, as moved by importunity , andmenace, and the formidable argument " we are seven , drawing from this position and that position in the course of o pre,. ,s e-essive refoi ms," and having no principle to shelter thernselver, in accordance to the Hon. Gentleman, joined with them in the course of " progressive reform.' —( Cheers. ) What says the Hon. Gentleman, the Member for Sheffield, of a pregyessive, real, bona fide reform — " We have ob tained since last year," mark this, " this important step, the Ballot is an open question ;" and, says the Hon. Gentle ' man, •i to this we have driven, or, as some will say, squeezed the Ministry—they have conceded the principle of open goes • tions." .• An open question," says the Hon. Gentleman, "is 1 a necessary step in a great change"—the Ballot will lead to Firs nsion of the Suffrage, this to Universal Suffrage, de con jexso of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies." ~ You have conceded this year open questions ; next year," says the Hon. Member for Sheffield, " will You not call the Ballot a Cabinet question ? Of course you wili—it is only one step further in the cnurse of progressive reform." And, fur ther en, "above all—as the climax of all," says the Hon. Gentleman, " I concur in what is said of the inconsistency of being a Radical, unless we may be prepared to go ito tbe farthest point necessary. I can conceive 1 nn resting-place short of absolute democracy." What ground slid the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies take oil this occasion ? None at all. If there be inconsistencies what. is the wretched excuse—the apology deemed all-sufficient by the Hon. Member for Sheffield, for departing from his prin ciples ?—that without such departure they could not keep their party together. —( Hear, hear.) Now, Sir, let the House and the country know that the vote of confidence voted this night is not in ,heirmnes•—not in the character—not in the principles of the Government—hut entreated on the part of those leaning to the most extreme opinions, step by step, and inch by inch ,' from one position to another, driven in the course of " progres sive Reform." and unable to stop until concession shall lead to the abolition of :he form of government.—( Hear.) I hold in my hand, a' another illustration of this confidence—and I hope I shall not offend him by referring to it—a speech of the Hon. anti Learned Member for Dublin—there was not in it the slightest inconsistency. In 1831 this friend and ally of the G7ernment states that a Reform is necessary in the House of Lords, and his means for obtaining that end are " Universal Suffrage." " I am," says he, "for the Ballot—for doing away with the property qualification," on which the Hon. Member, i s agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. F. Alaule) who, in the only point in which he answered my Hon. Friend, expressed the same opinion—" I am for the Whigs, although th e y will not go the whole way with sae, but when I get to a certain point I will bring the rest away with me. "—(Cheers. ) And is there one Member of the Government who will step forward with the words " Here are my principles, here we stop as a Government, and will go no farther ?" Not one.— (Cheers.) Now, Sir, I want to know of what party in this House or in this country the present Administration commands the confidence ? Have they the confidence of this side of the House in the sense I use the word ? I ask have they the confidence of gentlemen on the other side—have they the confidence of the landed interest ? No ; they have far other confidence than this. Have they the confidence of the Corn-law repealers? No; they merely count noses in the Cabinet, and see them on each future accession giving something more, and have only confidence in ultimately obtaining their end. Have they the confidence of the clergy of the country ?—( A laugh.) Oh ! that is a supposition too monstrous to be entertained.— ( Cheers. 1 Have they the confidence of the constituency of li;nglend ? The answer to that is, the representation of Eng land—where is the representation of England ?—this part of the representation does not give its confidence to Ministers. But, says the Government, we have the confidence of Ireland. Have you that confidence ?—from what organ do you derive that.? From the Hon. Member for Dublin, the representative of all Ireland? I will show you how far you have his confidence. He now moulds you to his purpose, and makes you his instru ment, and makes his boast of doily , ' so. So far you possess the ccnfidenee of Ireland. The peopl e of Ireland have so little cortidence in you, that let him but hold up his finger, and up start five hundred thousand fighting men—( Hear, hear)—to resist what? The exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, if her Majesty should think fit, and the voice of the people of England call for it. You have boasted of the tranquillity of Ireland, and speak of it as in a safe position.-- (Hear, hear. ) Do you believe this to be a fact or net ? Do you believe that any one man in Ireland has the power, and will exercise the power—to change the Government, by calling 100,000 men int., rebellion.—(No, no, hear, hear.) I say rebellion—for I know not how the leader of i 500,000 men is to die in the field rather than snbmit to Tory domination without rebellion. But if that is the state of Ireland, that its tranquillity depends on such a precarious issue, what responsibility to your country have you incurred, by withdrawing from that country, and boasting that you had withdrawn the military, who, onder all circum s antes, would have continued faithful to the Crown, and leaving it in the hands of those who have told you through their organs, they are ready to rise in rebellion against you ?—( Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman, the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, has told us that the people of England will have confidence in them for the future, when they look to the past; and on this ground he asks for the confidence of the people of England and of this House. Let us look around us and see the position in which all the great interests of the country are placed. You have now been in power for five years, and at the expiration of that period, let us ask the House and the country which of the great and important inte rests of the country is in a safe or satisfactory state? Not one. All the great interests of the country are in a state alike unsatisfactory and da ngerous . L et us look abroad let us take the department which is presided over by the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.—(Hear, hear.) Let us look at Spain. What has been the state of that unfortunate country for the last six years ?—( Hear, hear.) Why, through the half-and-half interfer ence of the Noble Lord, the sanguinary slaughter which has deluged that unfortunate country with the blood of her sons has been con tinued during the whole of that period.—(Loud Opposition cheers.) Ihe last admission of the Noble Lord on this subject may be taken as a commentary on his whole proceedings. When he was asked if the British Government had been any party to the treaty of Bergara, " No," said the Noble Lord, " not directly a party ; but I must admit that the officers acting under her Majesty's orders did every thing in their power to forward the intentions of those engaged in negotiating that treaty."—(Cheers and laughter free: the Opposition benches.) Then let us look at the affairs of the East. I will not undertake to say that that question may not be, eventually, amicably settled ; but such at the present moment is the state of things in that quarter. that all Europe looks towards the East with feelings of the greatest interest and alarm.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now let us look at India. The Hon. Gentleman the Judge Advocate tauntingly asked us the other night, why . we had taken no notice of the affairs of India ? No man in the House can admire more than I do the gallantry of the troops, and the signal success which has crowned their desperate attempts. But although I admire the victory of the gallant troops, and admirable conduct of the military part of the expedition. I shall express no opinion as to the policy of the invasion of Aff ghanistan—l shall express no opinion as to the policy of occu pying Candahar, or as to the policy of leaving our army at such a great distance from head quarters totally unsupported. Sir J. HOBHOUSE—Not unsupported. Lord STANLEY—I re j o i ce ton hear that the army has not been left unsupported, b u t I d read to look at the estimates — (Loud cheers)—but I doubt the policy of un d erta ki ng t h e ex pedition. I doubt if it i s of advantage "Hear, the frontiers of the Eastern enspire.—( Cries of hear,")immen violating tr ea ti es , se doubtdistance l isnne ' the policy of supporting t roops at such an from head quarters. I doubt the policy and you know you have vi o l ated yourT of reaties with Persia by the invasion of Affghanistan, and you have violated y our treaties with the Ameers of Scinde by th e occupation of their c ap i ta l ; Russia also has taken a leaf out of your book, and has advanced her frontier to Khiva ; you have occupied Candahar, and thus the two great Powers w a h ll ose jealousie s a i r s; the East are occasioning alarm over a re approaching within a small dist ance o f each otner aEnudrope, s ituation where commercial jealousies are sure to arise. You commercial have overlapped your former ally Persia, and you have de stroyed the independent tribes which were formerly a barrier between you.—(Choers.) I can, therefore, give the Govern ment no credit for the policy which they have pursued in India. Besides, from the information recently received, it appears that Shah Sooja already totters on his throne, and the British army, which was about to seek rest, has been hastily recalled to sup port your tottering puppet—that Dost Mohammed has again ap peared in arms. Sir J. HOBH OUSE—These reports are not true. Lord STANLEY—I am rejoiced to hear so, but I have no sources of information, except those which are open to all the world. Let me now ask in what condition are our relations with China? There is a specimen of t he sagacity, the pru dence, and the foresight of her Majesty's Government. Our trade in opium is stopped, our merchants have had their pro perty confiscated, and their persons confined —our trade in tea is stopped—and, to complete the whole business, you have given the Chinese Government the temporary triumph of having constrained and coerced your authorities, and of having set at defiance your naval force. But befor Igo any n. farther Gentleman opposite— Sir J. HOBHOUSE was understood to say it was not in his department. Lord STANLEY —In the united Cabinet su rel y one Mem ber can answer for another.—(Cheers, and laughter.) Whe ther we are at war or not, surely cannot be an open question.— (Loud cheers.) You must have consulted together on the question in your Cabinet, and I ask you, and any Cabinet Mi nister must be in a situation to answer me—do you approve or disapprove—do you sanction—do you repudiate the con. duct of Captain Elliott?—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers)—. and how do you intend to deal with the claims of those British subjects who have incurred serious losses by obe dience to his commands?—(Loud cheers.) I will not now go into the Colonial question—fortunately there happens to be one spot in our Colonial Empire to which we can look with unalloyed satisfaction—l mean the Colony of Jamaica. (Cheers.) There we hear of nothing but mutual congratulation between the Governor and the Assembly, who are engaged in carrying to their fullest extent the provisions of the Emancipa tion Act, and in spite of the prediction of the Noble Lord, are doing full justice between man and man, and nobly and honestly co-operating with the Governor ; and this is the Le gislative Assembly that you were last year about to destroy upon the plea of necessity; but we prevented your succeeding in that measure. Oh, but, says the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, you were never more mistaken—as long as the Assembly continues, it is impossible that justice can be done between man and man, our measure is the only one to secure that, and you obstructed our measure, v.hich was es sential to the wellbeing of the colony. Now if the Noble Lord believes his measure essential to the wellbeing of the colony— if the Noble Lord believes that without this measure it is impossible that justice can be done between man and man, why does he still continue to incir the responsibility of administering the affairs of that colony, when he acknowledges that we have placed an obstruction in his way, and that it is impossible justice can be administered fairly between man and man.---(Loud cheers.) With all these circumstances calculated to create alarm—with the Char tist agitation convulsing the country—with the Boandary question unsettled—with the aggressions of the French at Monte Video—with the increase of the French Navy—are you prepared to make a great struggle, or will you quietly sub mit to let England sink in the scale of nations? You are pre pared to make a great struggle ?—( Signs of assent from the Ministerial benches.) Well, then, what are your means?— (Cheers from the Opposition.) I ask, with all these dangers both at home and abroad, what is the state of your finances? For the last three years you have had an increasing deficiency ; notwithstanding you have had an increasing income in three years, you have accumulated a debt of three millions. In 1838 your deficiency was 140,0001. ; in 1839, 425,000/. and in 1840 you calculate it at a million, and the last quarter you have remaining in which to make up your deficiency is the first quarter in which your new Post-office regulations come into operation.—(Loud cheers.) I ask, then, with your India trade cut off—with the removal of your Indian source of re venue by the abolition of the opium trade—with you tea trade, that great source of revenue stopped—with your three millions of deficiency in three years of profound peace—l ask where and how are you prepared to find the means for your great struggle, and as the Hon. Gentleman says, to make a great effort to keep England in the scale of nations? Why, I say, under those circumstances, and that state of the revenue, the sacrifice, small as the amount may be—small I trust it will be, although I think it will be large, from the Post-office arrangement—that is an indefensible sacrifice, and you tell me the House is obliged to make good that deficiency.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear," and cheers.) Why we scorn and repudiate it, and your own supporters laugh at the pledge ; and when you come to apply for new taxes to make good the two millions, I should like to know where you will find them. H as the House of Commons sufficient confidence in you to vote them? —and if not, in what state will you leave the revenues to meet the mighty effort you are going to make ? I had not meant to have trespassed so long upon the time of the House, but there was one question more particularly than any other which I was desirous of avoiding and shrinking from, had it not been for the observations of the Hon. Gentleman op posite. I mean the discussion of the religious question. And now, Sir, at the outset, I have no hesitation in declaring my strong and fixed principle tha t since the p assin g of the Emancipation Act, not only have I had no desire, nor would I consent to be a party to the repeal of that Act, but that in carrying out that Act fully and impartially into effect, there shall be no Gentleman in this House who would go further or more willingly and cheerfully to carry it out than ' myself.—( Cheers.) I say that that Act made all classes of her Majesty's subjects entitled to an equal participation in all civil rights, and 1 for one will never be a party to depriving them of any one of those rights. And when Honourable Gentlemen think to connect the great body of the party on this side of the House with those ex treme opinions, which he says he has heard, from whom he has not named, when he talks of speeches that we have never heard—(Cries of " Oh, oh")-1 have not met any of them. One of the gentlemen to whom reference was made, I hare on one occasion met, I mean the Rev. Mr. APNeile, and a more eloquent and more temperate and sounder speech than that which I heard him deliver, and one more free from any one of those characteristics which the Hon. Gentleman has described, I have never heard. The Hon. Gentleman talks about the venders of every species of calumny and uncharita bleness ; but he does not name any party, nor has he given us any quotation. He concluded by saying, if you do nut mean those opinions, what do you mean by the term Protestant Government ? I tell him I am for Protestant Government too, and I can tell him that by the Constitution of this country its Go vernment is Protestant, and that the Sovereign by the Con stitution of this country is a Protestant Sovereign, and that the Establishment of this country is a Protestant Establish ment, and what is meant by a Protestant Government is, as the lion. Gentleman himself has said, that we will not be the minions if Popery—that phrase is not mine, but that of an Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Ward—" It is Mr. Thesiger's") —Mr. Thesiger's then but I say there is a great thilerence between the benighted minions of Popery, in the sense in which it was used by the Learned Gentleman, and our being firmly de termined to secure to all her Majesty's subjects the equal enjoy ment of all their civil rights. That enjoyment I will maintain as far as the Hon. Gentleman himself—l will not forget that lam a Protestant subject of a Protestant Sovereign—(Cheers) — and I will not by any means, either private or political, so tar as I know, do anything to endanger the security and welfare of this Protestant Establishment.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) That is what I mean when I talk of a Protestant Government. But to show the accuracy of this statement, if the House will forgive me a moment, 1 heard of an attack by the Hon. and Gallant Member for Brighton against a gentleman whom he never sate or heard of until the present occasion, with reference to a speech delivered by him at a meeting on the subject of education. Captain PECHELL—No, no; it was at a dinner. Lord STANLEY—I am told that he objected to the ap pointment of the Honourable and Learned Member for Tipperary, to the appointment of the Hon. and Learned Member for Waterford, and to the appointment of the Hon. Member for Kildare, on the ground of their being Roman Ca • tholics. That is the charge, and the Hon. Gentleman had a printed letter in his band when he made that charge. The Hon. Gentleman read a portion of a speech from a Newspaper, and I suppose that it is identical with this. Captain PECHELL—No, no. Lord STAI\. LE :'-1f it is not, I should have taken care to receive an accurate copy. This is the speech said to have been delivered by this gentleman, in which he objects to Mr. More O'Ferrall on the ground of his being a Roman Catholic. (The Noble Lord then read an extract from a speech of the Re verend Mr. Anderson, which had been previously read by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Brighton.) The Gallant Member stopped there—would it not have been fairer to go farther?—( Cheers from the Opposition.) The Reve rend Gentleman went on to say, " I must also allude to a gross fallacy, now too prevalent, and which is daily put forth in the papers, that the great body of the Conservatives are anxious that the Emancipation Act should be made a dead letter. We desire no such thing."—(Loud cheers.) "We hold that Act to be law, and as such to be respected and acted upon."— (Cheers.) This is the gentleman who is said to have objected to the appointment of Mr. M. O'Ferrall for being a Roman Ca tholic—( Hear, hear)—and the Hon. Gentleman had the letter in his hand at the time !—(Cheers.) Indeed, I believe the Hon. Gentleman had the same edition from which I have been reading. —( Hear, hear. ) Mr. WARD—No : I received a written statement (point ing to Captain Pechell). Lord STANLEY—I should think that the Hon. Member will be very cautious how he receives any more " written statements" from the same quarter.—(lmmense laughter, and cheers.) This Rev. Gentleman does not object to the appoint ment of Mr. M. O'Ferrall, but he does to those of Mr. Shell and Mr. Wyse. As to the first Gentleman, I will now read one of the grounds on which the objection is stated.—(Cries of " Read.") If Hon. Gentlemen will look to the next page or two, they will, I think, see the reason why I should not read it.—( Renewed cries of " Read.") No, I will not read that ; but this I will say, that it is a reason which must have weight with those who are so emphatic in their professions of horror at anything like disrespect towards members of the Royal family. The Noble Lord here read a further extract from the speech of Mr. Anderson, in which it was stated that, not many years ago, Mr. Shiel was charged with having rebelled against the law, and his name stood in the list of persons tried for these offences in the Court of Exchequer. Now, the objection to Mr. Wyse was, that he was an active member of the Central Society of Education, which had denunciated doctrines, repudiated and condemned, and considered dangerous to the Protestant reli gion.---(Hear, hear.) I have now only to thank the House for the kind and patient hearing it has given me. I have stated the grounds on which I can place no confidence in the present Government. In stating these grounds I believe that I have stated grounds why the great body of the p eo p le of this country have no confidence, and can have none, in the Members of the present Government ; and my convic m convic tion is, th a t if . you were voting this night—if Hon. Gentlemen were voting in th e i r consc i ences w hether they had or had not confidence theprinciploefs,htehre Majesty'sforesigli Government, t, theye rnm prudence, ent t h e energy,and the firmness the vote would be not to retain them in office but a vote distinctly to say we have no eonfidenc re e . in the measures ' of her Majesty's Government.—(Loud and andnerated chfering.) ?t N ion of the former B an ß d O , TonHtEhße TmnlO Hon .

LONDON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, IMO. A number of petitions were presented in the Com mons, but none of any note. Notices of motions were given by Lord G. LENNOX for the 13th of February, for the names of the members of the Naval and Military Commission ; by Lord STAN LEY, on the same day, for a Bill to amend the Registra tion of Voters in Ireland ; and by Mr. EMERSON TENNENT, of a Bill for regulating Stage Coaches in Ireland. This gentleman seems ambitious of being a universal legislator. Other business was postponed in order to resume the adjourned debate, which occu pied the whole evening till midnight. The first speaker was Lord POWERSCOURT, a I\l - of poor parts and great pretensions. The ob.scr cations of Mr. MACAULAY, which one public writer has described as common-place, furnished the matter for his Lordship's criticisms. He flouted the Secretary at War for speaking disparagingly of Privy Councillors, and ridiculed historical allusions, which the Noble Lord had the unhappiness apparently not to understand. He described the Government as weak, and, which is its greatest crime in the eyes of all the bigots, as not being zealous for the Church. Mr. Fox MAULE ridiculed the Noble Lord for satirizing a prepared essay in an elaborately pre pared speech, and very properly laughed at the miserable attacks which have been made on the Government, because Mr. O'CONNELL has dined with the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND. The principal part, however, of Mr. MAULE'S speech was a defence of the Home Department for the ap- i pointment of Magistrates, and put down a great mul titude of calumnies, by merely mentioning that 1,000 Magistrates had been appointed under the Municipal Corporation Bill, and that of them only two h a d been found fault with. His vindication of the appoint ment of Mr. FROST was complete, for he proved that it was long before ho had become a Chartist, and with the approbation of FROST'S neighbours. In like man ner, his eulogium on Mr. MUNTZ ought to shame his miserable calumniators, who suffer their paltry spite to abuse those whom they cannot conquer. For dates and facts connected with the administration of the Home Department, Mr. Ala treE's speech is worthy of being read. His comparison between the proceedings of the Tories, and the proceedings of the present Adimins tration was a triumphant vindication of the latter from the attacks of the former. • Had the Whigs followed less the Tory example they would have been more ea sily vindicated to this generation and more honoured by posterity. We were glad to hear from Mr. MAULE that he is an advocate for doing away with the Property Qualification, and he ably defended his opinion by the example of that part of the country to which be belongs. Mr. LIDDELL repeated the old Tory story, that Char tism had ar;sen from the encouragement of the Whigs, and that the Cabinet being composed of twelve men, not of twelve blocks, did not agree in all their opinions. Captain PECIIELL, by quoting facts, convicted Sir JAMES GRAHAM of having made, the night before, in respect of the Navy, several mistatements. Sir JAMES GORDON was not removed from Chatham on political reasons, but because he received his flag ; and Captain PLUMRIDGE and Lord A. CLARENCE PAGET had both received their appointments, before contesting Falmouth and Southampton, and had received no ap pointments since. The Gallant Captain, however, by noticing a local preacher at Brighton, introduced an epi sode into the debate by which Lord STANLEY rather profited. Mr. LASCELLES, Mr. HANDLEY, Sir ADOLPHUS DALRYMPLE, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT severally ad ' dressed the House, filling up its time without adding . much to the stock of information or amusement. The latter gentleman's speech was not, however, destitute of some smartness, nor was it wholly unrewarded by cheers. Mr. WARD, who seems rising in the estimation of the House, made an honest speech, which amused the Tories, because they so seldom hear anything but hypocritical, canting falsehoods. Mr. WARD openly and boldly stated that he now supported the Government, because it had acknowledged the principle of progressive reform, because it bad made the Ballot an opeu question, because Lord JoliN RUSEELL had con sented to abolish the rate-paying clauses, and because, by supporting it, there was some hope of pro curing further measures to satisfy the people. Mr. WARD made a hard hit at the shabby Opposition, which has encouraged the crusade against the Catholics, and, finding that it has failed, has been silent on it in Parliament. Mr. WARD said, further, that he supported the Government, personally, because it had partly conceded to his views on the management of Colonial lands. The Hon. Member for Sheffield made a neat, business-like speech, with no pomp or ostentation. Lord STANLEY made a speech like himself, truculent and almost savage. He declared, in the name of the Tories—of which party this erewhile half-revolutionist is now become the most Tory—hot and furious, and continual war against the Government. To get place the Noble Lord and his factious friends are to do all in their power to embarrass the Government. Last session he admitted the Tories had worn a mask, but now it was thrown aside, and war against the Ministry, war against improvement, war against change, without which there can be no improvement, was loudly and boldly declared. For what are this faction to make war ? To keep up abuses, to strengthen corruption ; further to enslave, debase, and impoverish the bulk of the people, must be the patriotic answer. The gist of the Noble Lord's speech was to reproach Ministers for guiding their conduct by circumstances. He would rule himself, and rule the State by his own self-will. The reign of such despots, however, was put an end to when newspapers became exten sively read. We do not deny Lord STAN LEY a fluent, but it is a waspish, eloquence. He made undoubtedly some bits at the Ministers, and encouraged them to be firm in their resistance to him and his party by the lesson he gave them. They have only, indeed, to look on the opposite benches, and see the disgraced Sir R. PEEL, the man who would not go right till he was repeatedly driven, to avoid an imitation of Tory policy, much less what Lord STANLEY countenanced —an obstinate adhe rence. The virulence with which Lord STANLEY attacks his old friends and colleagues, the con tinued declararations he makes of his own strong will— to which, ace arding to him, everything in time, space, ,and thin s, ref ast bend—makes him appear to us like a ,talking NAPARTE. His Lordship concluded the de.%ate, which vas aga i n a dj ourne d a t t we l ve o ' c l oc k. Lord NorrEt H is, we believe, in possession of the House. As we yank ourselves to be close adherents of neither of the two parties which now divide the Parliament but do not together repreent the na tion, we s hat I tak e our own v i ew o f the motion which Sir . JOHN YARDS BULLER has submitted to the Hoi ise of Commons. He purposes to de clare that the Government, as now constituted, does not pc )ssess the confidence of the House of Comm. ans. S o far as his words go we in a great measm e ai ;ref: with him, and must extend the principle to tb ,e whole community. The Govern• ment,l is now constituted, does not possess the con fidence of tin country. We lire, so far as the principles of government are con t 'ernes 1, in very remarkable times ; and in nothing Are tihey so remarkable as in a general and growing opirtiola, not confined to one class, or to one nation, but dispersed through all classes, and pervading, more or less, all nations, that no Govern ment, as n tow constituted, merits the confidence of mankind. In the United States, in France, in Spain, in l 3ngland, we find large masses of the com munity pre ife.l;sing a want of confidence in their political in la tutions. We live in an age of revo lutions, of which that want of confidence is the source. .In fact, Government has less influence in mouldings ociety than society has in changing Government and the progress of society being now every where ix nexampledly rapid, every where there are great clema tnds for changes in political institu tions. No au tesman knows what will happen next week, or to-rco arrow, and no one is prepared with measures to I Y wet the exigency. Those institutions which, in pa: 0; times, as the Church, and of late, as the Reform Act, have been most loudly recom mended to i is as panaceas, have turned out com plete failures , and the consequence is a wide-spread and increasin tg distrust in political institutions. So far as Sir Jo HN YARDE BULLER'S motion calls on the Hous eof Commons to express its share in that general 3 pinion it has our concurrence, and cannot, we be I ieve, when closely examined, be gain sayed. But his mot ion extends in fact much beyond its words. It no t only implies that the House of Commons and the country have no confidence in the present NU .nisters, but that they have confidence in another set of men, the antagonists of Ministers. The hidden 1 ' , tarpon of the motion is to convey an opinion that the Commons and the country have confidence i• 3 Sir R. PEEL, his friends, and his policy. Thi sis insinuating a palpable falsehood, and herein we differ in Coto from Sir JOHN YARDE BA IT.LER. Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends are Tories ; their policy has been year after• year repudiated by the whole nation-- given up, -mu e after time, by Sir ROBERT himself and by al 1 this followers, one after another, till they have :been obliged to hide their discounte nanced err Drs, by assuming a new name. Sir RO BERT him self has no confidence in his own policy, neither ha re his friends. Indeed, what it r i now s, except to t F matt the Whigs, it is impossible to tell. Whatever n lay have been the errors of the Minis ters, and wi hatever may be their unpopularity, both are due to heir having followed too closely the prin ciples of the Tories. That has hastened the alarming cri; sis in which the country is placed. As long as their conduct kept alive the hope of politi cal ameliorat ion, the country was free from tumult. Rebellion F i r ew out of finality. The policy which has injured -them, carried to a greater extent by the Tories, wo aid be doubly injurious, and doubly de structive of confidence. It is not merely false, therefore, it is absurd—and the absurdity will every day become greater—to assert that the House of Commons a aid the country have confidence in Tory policy. But Sir :RozEnT's friends do not confide in him any inc ore than he confides in himself. For example, a large body of the m divided against him last year on the Irish Corporatio n question, and this yea r they have who wholly forsak en hi m on the Privilege question. lie is, in fact, so hewil wr o t f o C ac o t i , . extremes d as e ni r aß e d iTo , 1 00 1 w a li t sp I: t c h k eH n i o em wipssu movedl s not e w o f h a xib t yr t o .t hL d el o T:hT n r o toi r eN h s t o . of his pa rty, the tail being not merely a rud der for th .e Tories,—it impels them, like a fin. The tail of the Whigs sometimes impedes, and sometimes gives a slanting direction to the party, but the tail of the Tories is the master will, to which, both in fishes and in men, all the Members are sub see vient. Sir ROBERT PEEL is wholly impelled b y the tail of the Tories. Amomg st his associates, members of his last, and meml ers no doubt of his future Cabinet, are Lord ST',ANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, rene gades fro, en principle and party, in whom neither Whigs, 7 :ones, nor people place any confidence. The bulk . of the community mistrusts them for their tergiversat ion ; the Tories do not forget their conduct 1831 and 1832, and the Whigs regard tht m as traitors since 1835. At one time the a,d vocates of toleration, and at another of persecutima. —now constituting schools for general education, and again making it a crime in Minis ters to give education to the people, independent of the Priesthood--these politicians are mistrusted and hated e Eke by Catholics and Protestants, by Whigs and; Tories, by the great multitude, and the middle classes. If, as we are constrained to admit, the o ommunity has no longer confidence in the Whigs, the assertion that it has confidence in the crew of bi gots, changelings, and arbitrary, pi est - ridden statei men, who are nicknamed Conserva tives, is too. preposterous to be worthy of further aefutation. We hope that the working and unrepresented classes throu bout the empire, amounting, we be lieve, to not less than four-fifths of the commu nity—in het tnd they amount nearly to nineteenth twentieths-1 rill mark and note the conduct and principles of the Tories, as exemplified during the present discu s non concerning the conduct of the Ministers. A.ll parties in Parliament recognize the existence of vltst discontent, and the Tories make its existence a charge against the Government. rn o i a ~v thems. Butar e lemt tui N hi v rceei i }sa l ) teTr i sde n or g brytti to ee Ministers seen not to know how to remedy it, but they are not unwilling to give some extension to tchaerryStuiffleraigteepi, Repeal i n o d f ti s i o e m c e declared, spe:3l:ing by the mouth of Sir JAMES GR A dnr flea: majority declaration, ohonef, the Tories sitting s tbh t and we agriculturists e fluctuating sc. ale of duties, was necessary ; and that he was determjned to oppose every extension of the franchise. Thus the forks avow that they will not make just laws for the working classes, and will not allow them to have any part in making the laws. They declara that they, the landlords, shall and must continue to rob the working classes by law, and that the working classes shall not have the means of quietly restraining and pulling an end to this robbery. This is throwing down the gauntlet to the working classes, and telling them that they shall continue to be slaves and be plundered. So far as the Tories can sway the Legislature, sach a declaration puts at once an end to all hope of freedom or justice from the Legislature, and leaves but one course open to the unrepresented. The Tories already have a majority in one branch of the Legislature, and if they should . prevail in the other the Legislature would be constituted on a principle o f hostility to the wishes and welfare of four-fifths of the people. It would be their avowed enemy, and would thus invite them, by the strongest t stand u principles o f man ' s na ture to destroy it. Let us in against itl the at iseonte r s e tthe Toriesof the nation. The whole of the congregations of the Church do not exceed one-third of the commu nity. Many of them are opposed to the inordi nate pretensions of the priesthood, who constitute the whole and sole Church for the Tories. Amongst the priesthood, too, there are many serious divisions—the only thing they are una nimous on, is keeping the revenues of the Church to themselves. Now, on this narrow basis, this small disjointed section of the community, for its interest exclusively, and by its means, the Tories are endeavouring to seize and hold the Go vernment of the country. If they could succeed, they must constitute only a Government of a narrow and intolerant sect, which is daily splitting into fragments, and dwindling into contempt. To aim at constituting a Government on such a basis—which is what the commanding genius of Sir R. PEEL is now doing—is physically and morally absurd. Leiters from Athens attic I lth inst. state that the Chiefs of the recently discovered conspiracy are Count GEORGE CAPO D'ISTRIAS, brother of the late Presi dent, and General NITKIAS, one of the most active agents of Russia in Greece. The papers seized proved that these persons, acting under the influence of Russia had organized a society bound by the most solemn oaths to establish a new state, comprising the present kingdom, the lonian Islands, Epirus, and Thes saly ; getting rid of their present heretic King, and placing at the head of the Government three Chiefs, one for each department, military, civil, and ecclesiastical, the whole under the immediate protection of the Emperor of Russia. Letters were also seized showing that the Russian Government had supplied its agents in thelonian Islands with ample funds for the conspirators, and that the opposition now making to the Lord High Commis sioner of those islands, was the first act of the revolu tionary drama. Having made these discoveries, what was the course taken by the sage OTHO ? Well may it surprise our readers. Terrified out of his wits at the idea of displeasing Russia, the Royal imbecile took care that all the papers relating to the lonian Islands were instantly returned to Count GEORGE CAPO DISTRIAS, and time given him to lodge them in a place of safety, or destroy them, before he was arrested ; and every possible measure having been taken to destroy the evi dence that existed cf the participation of the Russian mission in the views of the conspirators, the arrest of CAPO DISTRIAS and NIKITAS took place I But a con spiracy having for one of its objects a revolution in the Government of the lonian Islands, cannot thus be hushed up. Sir EDMUND LYONS and Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS will doubtless make such a report of it to our Government as will warrant it in insisting upon the fullest inquiry. The Tories finding that they have gained nothing by insulting and calumniating the QUEEN, and despairing of success in obtaining a majority on the motion of Sir J. Y. BULLER, seem determined to insult the Commons' House of Parliament also, and transfer the control of the public purse from the Representatives of the people to the House of Lords. The Standard—one of the most rational leaders of the disloyal and revolutionary party, last evening had the following ominous sugges tion :—" If in remembrance of the advantage taken in 1839, notice is at once given, that no vote of money to be placed at the disposal of the Board of Privy Council for Education, will be allowed to pass the House of Lords, there will at once be an end of the Education question." And possibly also an end of some other question. Here is openly proposed a violation of the Constitution—a violation of a right of the Commons, till now universally admitted and sacredly preserved. And for what purpose? To put an end to useful educa tion ; to deprive the Representatives of the people of all power, and to centre the whole government of the country in the hands of irresponsible legislators. The French Journals of Wednesday have all reached us. They contain no domestic news of the least irate• rest to the English reader. The following extracts from them include the latest news from the East A letter from Constantinople, of the Bth of this month, tells us that the gradual diminution of the fame of our fleet in the Levant is very dexterously made use of by the di plomatic body. The Triton, Gencreux, and Hercule of the line, and the Ama zone and Belle Pontc frigates have already left, and their departure is represented as a proof that France abandons its share of influence in the settle ment of the affairs of the East. This is a circumstance which renders the situation of Count Pontois still more perplexing. It appears, too, that M. Butcnieff having skilfully ex cited the jealousy of the y6ung Sultan against his mother, in order to defeat the mission of the daughter of Mehemet Ali, Abdal Medschid, it is said, has now returned to the sentiments of his father with respect to the Viceroy. Th 3 Legation of M. de Sesey arrived safe at Erzeroum on the 20th of December, and left that city to proceed to its destination. The Pasha of Erzeroum gave it an escort of cavalry. With respect to the quarrel which took place between Hussein Khan and the French officers, all the circumstances have been strangely exaggerated by the enemies of the French name. 'I he Prince de Joinville has arrived at Paris. A journal says that the Russian Ambassador, Count Pozzo de Borgo, has just received from his sovereign a definitive leave of absence which he has long solicited. The Courrier Francais says, that the nomination of M. Guizot, to the Embassy to. London is signed—that the Ministry has given notice of it to the English Government but that Count Sebastiani will remain till after the mar riage of the Queen. —Le Commerce.

Taus.—A majority of the Judges held that the pri soners had not what the statute entitled them to, but a majority also held that the objection was not made in time. It follows, we apprehend, from this decision, that at least the lives of the convicts will be spared. MORNING CHRONICLE.—StrictIy speaking, the objec tion has been overruled ; but, under the peculiar cir cumstances of the case there is reason for believing that the sentence must be commuted. Her Majesty's Se cretary of State would hardly deem himself justified in allowing the sentence to he carried into execution." (The opinions of die HERALD and ADVERTISER on this question, as on all others of a similar kind, are so well known, that it is needless to quote them ; and the PosT, if it has not given any opinion of its own ) has amply quoted the merciful opinions of other Journals.) STANDARD.—We hold it impossible that under these circumstances the sentence of the law can be executed— first, because a majority of the Judges have decided that the prisoners were not fairly tried—were deprived, no matter whether by accident or otherwise, of an ad vantage provided for them by statute, as indispensable to a fair trial. GLOBE.—On these grounds, and with these hopes and prospects, we cordially join in the supplications of so many of her Majesty's subjects who are sending their petitions to the foot of the Throne for an extension of mercy to the Monmouth criminals. In the success of these applications none will rejoice more fully ; even though we may differ with some who unite in these petitions as to the particular grounds on which their prayers for mercy are made to rest. COURIER.—We refrain from any other olyiervation on the difference of opinion among the Judges than this, that where doubt prevails, that doubt, by the Constitu tion and by the practice of the law, is always allowed to prevail in favour of the criminal. Was there ever such unanimity of opinion on any ono political question, and that too expressed not with doubt or hesitation, but with the simplicity and firmness of full conviction ? Looking, therefore, at the vast influence of the London Press, at the recommendation of the Jury, the divided opi nions of the Judges, the approaching marriage of her Majesty, and the hundreds of petitions signed by tens of thousands of her loving subjects, that are flowing into the Home Office, he would be a bold minister indeed who would set all these at defiance, and consum mate a bloody tragedy on the eve of an event to which the whole nation looks forward with joy and exultation. We have just learned that in accordance with a re quisition most numerously signed. the High Bailiff of Southwark has called a meeting of the inhabitants for to-morrow at twelve o'clock to petition her Majesty for mercy. A correspondent, in reference to an article on the subject in the Herald, makes the following communication : . _ "I could, however, without - Much difficulty, furnish some illustrations of cases in point, of precisely the very nature he alludes to. Some acts of injustice perpetrate:l by a Tory Government at a period, to borrow the very words of the Herald, of tyranny and blood-sucking op pression in the Government, and of servility and corruption, at the bar." When a legal minion of the Government became the confidential adviser and advocate of persons whom the Government wished to destroy on charges of high treason." During the plenitude of Tory Administration in Ireland, and for many years towards the close of the last century, and many more after the commencement of the present, Mr. --, a ce lebrated advocate, and a most constant legal adviser of the par ties accused during his time of high treason, and to all appearances, one of the most inveterate political op ponents of this Tory Government, was discovered, on an investigation of the Pension List, after his death, to have been all this time in the enjoyment of a retaining fee of 3001. per annum from this very Government, of which he was supposed to have been for so many years the most inveterate opponent ; it will be in the recollection of many of our readers how this discovery filled the bar of that unfortunate country with indignation, and the people with astonishment. The execution of Mr. Fitz Gerald in the year 1786 as an accessary, when the principals were not discovered, and consequently con trary to law, and without even waiting for the chance of a re prieve from the Castle, with many other similar cases, could be cited in verification of this suppositious case of the Herald, to whom we are indebted for this opportunity being afforded us of drawing a distinction between Whig and Tory Governments. DEATH OF THE HON, AND REV. J. MAR SHAM, D.D. The death of this eminent divine took place ra ther suddenly on Tuesday last, at his residence in the Precincts Rochester. The deceased, who was cousin of the Earl of Romney, was born the 28th Feb. 1759, and married in 1784 to Miss A. F. Bullock. by whom the Hon. and Rev. Gentle man had issue four children, two of whom were sons, the Rey. Robert Marsham D.C.L. , Warden of Merton College, Oa ford ; and the Vice-Chancellor of that University, the Rev. Charles Marsham. The deceased who was Canon of Windsor, Prebendary of Rochester and Wells, was deservedly esteemed by a numerous circle of friends, who have now to deplore the death of a sincere Christian, the best part of whose long life had been spent in alleviating the sufferings of his poor fellow creatures.

The Times, speaking of Lord Howick's speech on Thursday night in the Commons, says :—" The son of Lord Grey throws a new, and net too favourable, light on the integrity of the Prime Minister. We should like to hear by what arguments Lord Grey can persuade himself that it is his duty to support any longer that Government from which his son seceded because of its onward march towards revolution."—The Morning Herald expresses itself, as regards the condemned Newport Chartists as fol lows :—" We believe a short extension of time has been given to the prisoners, during which Ministers are to posi t,vely determine their fate ; and during that time we trust public opinion will express itself with an energy and effect that will avert from the land the intended sacrifice of blood." —The Morning Chronicle comments as follows on the pro bable result of Sir Y. Buller's motion :—" not the division, but the discussion, is, as we arc told by the Tory Press, to constitute the triumph of the party in this Parliamentary onset. The pretension is a very modest one. It relin quishes hopes that have long heen boastfully announced. It confesses the want of confidence in their own numbers that has been loftily reiterated.:lt comes just in time to save the credit that had been staked on a different result."— The Morning Post alludes as follows to Lord Howick's speech on Thursday night :—" Lord Howick may prevail on himself to confide in a Government, which he shows such excellent reasons for not confiding in, the reasonable people of England, neither irritated by the ill-temper of faction, nor bewildered by the entanglements of party alliances, will and must refuse to share his Lordship's confidence." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (THURSDAY :. EVENING.) POST.—Exchequer Bills have receded a little since yesterday, but the English securities have otherwise re mained undisturbed. The near approach of the settling day in the Foreign Market, and of the period when pro vision will have to be made for the monthly commercial payments, sufficiently accounts for the less favourable quotation of the value of the unfunded debt. At all events, it has been an extremely quiet day in the Money Market, and we think we may say there is no specific cir cumstance to which the change can be ascribed. It usually happens that, at this season of the year, when our foreign trade becomes comparatively active, the demand for accommodation, on the part of the mercan tile interest, is more general then during the winter months preceding. The Cotton Market at Liverpool is represented to be again in a sluggish state, which is rather extraordinary, because, from all accounts, the manufacturing classes are more steadily employed at the present time than they have been at all since the close of the last year. We have before us no data upon which we can come to any very exact conclusions as to the state of trade, taking it. upon the broad and general principle, but the next f or t n i g h t or three weeks will in all probability serve t o d eve l ope i t b y a variety of symptoms of which we have as y e t b ut an i n di st i nct perception.'Whether cultural prospects of the country, to our financial ar rangements or exchanges, or to the public revenue, the commercial operations of the coming spring cannot but be regarded by reflecting persona with the deepest in terest. A rule for an attachment against the Sheriffs of Middlesex was m a d e a b so l ute l ast night. This rule was ob tained on the ground that the Sheriffs had not paid over the money to Stockdale. The Sheriffs will now order the money to be paid. The Earl and Countess of Cawdor received a select circle to dinner last evening, at their residence in South Audle.y-street. EtaTiON. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lady in Waiting, and Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Waiting, visited Her Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday at Marlborough House. Her Majesty also paid a visit to the Princess Au gusta, at Clarence House, St. James's. Viscount Melbourne had an audience yesterday of Her Ma jesty. The Royal Dinner Party at Buckingham Palace, last evening, included the Earl of tabr;dge, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Edward Howard, and Lord George Paget. The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Pri❑cesses Augusta and Mary of Cambridge, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Fo reign Office. It was attended by all the Ministers except Lord Holland, who is indisposed. The Council sat two hours. Mr. Scholefield and Mr. Manta had an interview with the Marquis of Normanby yesterday, at the Home Office. The Agent for Jamaica had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday at the Colonial Office. The French Ambassador and the Grecian Minister trans acted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Com mander of the Forces, Lord Henniker, Mr. Clive, M.P., Mr. Stansfield, M.P., and Mr. Warburton, had interviews with the Marquis of Normanby yesterday at the Home Office. SPORTING INTELLIGENUr. TATTERSAWS-YENTERDAY. To report all that was done at " the corner" yesterday will be a short and easy task, for truly the business transacted was small enough ; its importance, however, in one material item was teo striking to be passed over. We allude to the Con federate movement, which, slow at first, was so marked throughout the afternoon, and so decisive at the finish, that after a bet of 15 to 1 in fifteens agst them, his friend (we speak in the singular person) had the satisfaction of seeing him une quivocally first favourite, a rise which no one could possibly have anticipated a fortnight ago. Angelica, backed for a trifle at 16 to 1, was head and head with Launcelot, who was not without supporters; Theon was, nominally, at the same price, but his partisans were non est. No direct odds were offered agst Bokhara, but as he was backed for an even five hundred agst Confederate, and the same agst Angelica, we are entitled to infer that he can scarcely be a worse favourite than the latter. Ottoman, at 24 to 1, was friendless, and an offer to back Gambia (agst whom 25 to 1 was laid) agst him for 500 eves, met with no response. Grey Milton dropt several points, and a considerable increase on the last quotation was betted against Chameau. No other changes, and nothing done on the Oaks.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in' Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars:— London, Jan. 31, 1840. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at _ _ . The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 28th instant, according to the returns made upon oath by the West India sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and ou which quantity the above price is computed, consisted of 2,571 hhds. 180% trs. and 257 barrels. Manilla Sugar raised by free labour remains as last week, about 163. per cwt., quality for quality, than West India Sugar. Havannah Sugar of good quality may be bought at I9s. 6d. per cwt. ; and the London refineries supply the continental markets with refined Sugar, equal in quality to the double refined standard loaf, made from foreign Mus covadoes for exportation only, deducting the shipping cha:ges at 325. per cwt., being ss. 10d. per cwt. cheaper than the unwholesome raw Sugar imported from our West India colonies, and being a fraction cheaper than the price the poor man is compelled to pay for duty-free treacle. The public may rely on what we advance, when we state that the alarming defalcation in the Sugar duties of 582,0001. in 1839, will work well for the early destruction of the sugar monop o ly, a f rau d pract i se d on the commu nity at large, which we hare repeatedly exposed and earnestly denounced ; it is next to impossible that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pressed as he is by the exigencies of the public service, should omit to turn his serious attention—and that eagerly too—to any feasible plan for the admission of foreign Sugars to home use, he will never venture to risk the loss of another half million of money, for the sake of petting the West Indians, the exertions he will have to make to overturn this profligate monopoly will, doubt less, be considerable ; ha will have the landowner sad the West Indian to contend against ; their interests to maintaining all kinds of monopoly are blended. The West Indian at all times endeavours to impress upon the landowners of this country, that Jamaica is a part and par cel of British land, and that consequently the produce of the West Indies ought to be protected as much as the produce of the land of the mother country. With o ut bread we cannot exist; but we emphatically tell the West Indian, that we can and will economize our consumption of his sugar until half the weight he now imports will suffice our demand. Last year the effect of our economy was that 500,000 cwt. of sugar less were delivered from the bonded warehouses than in 1838. We strenuously exhort the people to continue to abstain as much as practicable from the use of sugar. Let it be shown in 1840 that we can manage with a million cwts. less than in 1838, and the Government will soon perceive, from the gradual defi ciency in the duties, the paramount necessity of annihilat ing the baneful monopoly in sugar which has for ages pilot robbed the nation to enrich the West Indians.
