TUE SUGAR DUTIES.

o. to,
Mr. J. B. EOLITH, is reeving that the proposed sale of
(lotto should remain in fares for-ooe year—namely, till the
Ist of A 1566--sonts•ded that this questing should
be reooaddsrod, and for that reason he proposed that the
law should oely be in two, for one year.
LEATHAIg esecoded the motion.

Yr. CAVE said that the IneiTtTeruable part of the
Charmllor of the Exchequer's proposal was that which en-
sured the permanency of the scale, for there could sot be •
greater evil than soennual thangee, for by them this mis-
chievous *gantlet) was kept up. Be had been told that the
fate of hoe. members at the next election would depend on
the sugar duties question, but however that might be be
hoped that the question would be dually decided to-night,
and that it would be • long time before they had another
sugar debate is that boons. (Hear' hear.)
Mr. LINDSAY aid the move be bad examined this
gaes-
tlos, the more strongly was be orivioced that the ad yak-
rem or differential system—call it what they would—was
not for the interest of the consumer. The meeting in the
city wee pecked by sugar rause and their friends from all
parts of the country, sad therefore the voice of the free
trader was drowned by that of the protectionists. The
arguments win the nun* se those used against the alters-
tics in the shipping duties, and the reams said that any
alteration would rule them. That he would be very sorry
for, but they were not sect there to legislate foe the
sugar raven, but for the interests of the people of England.
Hr. CR&WFORD, having read some figures to show that
the increase is the consumption of sugar had bees in an in-
ferior ratio to the Pursue of population, concluded by
intimating his infection of giving his rapport to the motion
of the hon. member for Stockport.
Mr. 0. EWLNG was determined to give his support to the
plan of the Cheacellor of the Exchequer, as he thought it
would be highly inerpediest to bare this question reopened
every year.
Mr. MOFFAT observed that England exported less re-
dud eager than Holland, or any other redoing country on
the senunent. He traded that his right hon. friend would
woods to the rneooppermteegg of the question.
Mr. ATItTO. contended that if an impression were to
so abroad that the subject wee to be recoorddered next year,
it would level • fatal blow at this greet industry in the
various ports of the world upon which we were mainly de-
pendent for the supply of mgr.
Mr. B&THURST, as a member of the committee upon
the ewer dare, expressed an opinion that the interests of
commerce required the maintenance in a solid form of
the graduated system
Mr. BUCHANAN 'thought that the sugar duties as re-
cently settled, sod proposed now to be settled by the
Cheaceffor of the Exchequer, tended to play into the heads
of the reapers.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHNUER contended
that tee arrest approximation to equality which • car
like this admitted of was that which the government had
arrived at In the scale before the house. He held that
they had not been guilty of the wilful &poetry from the
principles of free trade, as alleged, is endeavouring to frame
laws so that no persona might be led to hope
for factitious advantages from the state of the law in in-
vesting their capital in manufactures in one place or another.
This was • queries of greet importance, and their decision
had been deliberately arrived at after ample armor°, not
only in that house, but out of it—ia the committee room,
in pamphlets, and by the press is every shape. Having
arrived at • decision, be thought that time should be allowed
to test that decision, which they could not do if the questica
was to come up annually. The government of Sir 'lt, Peel
would have made these duties permanent if it could have
dose so, and to Teri the question annually would only pro-
duce bewilderment and prairie is a very important branch
of British commerce. Ceder theme circumstances he trusted
the house would not sanction the amendment.

THZ SHAZISPZARIAN SEMINAL AT STRATFORD-
oroziAeoz.—The renewal of the festival yesterday morn-
* set in to earnest. The crowds which filled the @troths
were in striking contrast both in number and quality to
those who visited the town the preceding few days.
Some portion of thecae', of the attraction was the pageant
which had been organised by some tradesmen of the town, a
body altogether independent of the festival committee.
The larger portico of the cavalcade was made up for an
equsetriiie circus which had happened to "pitch their
tent" m the outskirts of the borough at • most opportune
mcgaest, and rescued the "promoter of a pageaut " from
complete derision. As it was, the unfortunate cortege plumed
through the streets in a most melancholy manner. The
festival committee opened the caribou at two o'clock for
• promenade concert by the bead of the Royal Boots
Greys. The audience numbered about 1.500 persoes. A
balloon was to have ascended at 1 o'clock, but from some
thexplained cause the ascent did not take place.
PROTZeTA NT BEFoRMATION SO€I err. —The thirty-
savant.% annual meeting of this society took place yesterday,
at the lianoverequare Rooms. Lord Calthorpe was to have
presided, but was unable to attend through a (revere cold; in
aim absence the chair was taken by Admiral Vernon Har-
court, The Rev. Mr. (lemmata opened the meeting with
prayer, and then proceeded to read the report, which stated
that many conversions bad hoes made from the church of
Rome. Numerous agencies had been established for the
spread of Roman catholic doctrines, which bed for the last
few years bean most active, as the following statistics would
show. Is 1829 there, were in this country bat 449 chapel.,
447 priests, and no mosuteriss, waves* or colleges. Is
1863 there were 1,092 olive* 1.440 priests. 36 mooasteries,
186 convects, and 12 colleges. This showed the necessity of
active exertions being made to check Romaoism as it existed
at the present day. After detailing the step, which bad
been taken by the snciy during the hat year in different
parts of the United Kin om, it concluded with its. financial
statement This show • balance of 1,1141, 17.. sd. from
last year, and receipts from all other sources 3,5411.. mak iog
a total of 4,6191. 17s. 9d., whilst the total expenses bad
amounted t 03.832/. 12s. lid., leaving • balance to be carried
forward to next account of 71471.45. 10d. Mr. George Finch
moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by
Mr. Lone, gad carried unanimously. The Bishop of Ripon,
the Rev. Dr. Cumming, and another gentleman addressed
the meeting.
HOME AND COLONIAL SCHOOL SOCIZTT.—The
annual examination and meeting of this society was held
yesterday, at the institution, Gray's•lna.rced. The report
stated that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales bad
accepted the °thee of patron. During the past year 203
students were trained as mistresses for schools for the
labouring classes, and at the present time there are 206 in
training. The practising and model schools of the society
provide an efficient education for nearly 800 children of the
neighbourhood. The aid received from government this
year shows a deficiency of nearly 4001. as compared with
that of previous years. owing to the working of the revised
code. The reports of her Majesty's inventors of schools
bear testimony to the efficient character of the instruction
given in this training college for schoolmistresses,
THE BUILDING TRADE AT BIRMINGHAM. —The

by the bricklayers, plasterers, and labourers. The masters

DRAMA.

ST. JAMFB'&

An old Lyceum farce, adapted from the French,
called Out of SigAg Ota of Mind, has been revived at this
home, with Mr. Charles Mathews and Mr. Polak Matthews
in their original obaracten. Mr. Charles Mathews plays a
very forgetful gentleman—on. Mr. Gatherwool—who can
hardly recollect his wife's name, and Mr. Frank Matthews
plays a gentleman of " spoofing" tendencies, who is not
disinclined to take advantage of this forgetfulness. The
piece is a mere trite, and not without much extravagant
fun, but it is disfigured by far too many coarse allusions.
Mr. Charles Mathews carried it through by his excellent
acting.
A new comedy in five acts, by Yr. Boncicanit, is an-

A few odd " accounts" here and there were produced for

majority were left to lie in the limbo to which they were
consigned on Saturday, the probability being that
their next siring would be at Cheater, where
they might possibly be finally disposed of. Speculation on
the Chaster Cup was confined almost entirely to the two
favourites, the Hersey filly having slightly the call at the

the defendant bad often promised her
that ha wrote to her two offering to settleanir•
yeas on her sad the child, one • conditional that she
resided in the country, and that about a fortnight after the
birth a, the ohild he wrote to her meting that he had been
considering that it would be utter ruin to her happiness
and his for them to marry ; that he had come to the conclu-
sion that it was better they should part, and be lidded,
" At the mine time, you know me well enough to be sure
that I shall not part with you and my child without doing
everything in my power to make you happy and comfort-
able. The thing that I propose Is that you should take
a cottage hi the mushy, where you can live com-
fortably with my child, and I will allow you
1501. a year, to be continued to you while
you live alone, and to our child after your death,

meet a deed was prepared, but defendant mimed to execute
it, though he has paid a portion of the annuity, and he has
since married another person, and having refused to execute
the deed, or to pay the annuity, the precast snit was insti-

It appeared from the plaintiff's case that he and the do
fondant were mixed up with each other in promotin the
Matting of the Sporting Life. When they left the paper
the plaintiff was employed by one of the refreshment con-
tractors at the Great Exhibition, and the defendant became
:promoter of public companies. The parties also lived is
ijaiig houses at Norwood. The plaintiff stated the
of his claim, in the course of which the followingretelutere disclosed :—Hs said that twelve months ago last

them, I intend to start a money lending sod bill disootuiting

• onfidential man like the plaintiff ; he bad been served
very badly by one sod another, but he thought he bad sat-
Weed ceefidenos in the plaintiff to think that they would
get on together. Plaintiff condoled with him about his
lose, and expressed his medians to join him. A few days
after, defendant called ou the plaintiff and asked him, as be
was well up is publishing matters, to undertake the pub.
lishing of • pamphlet he wished to bring out
sad so be well known on the Stock Exchange, giving
a history of the failure of the City Insurance Compaey.
Defendant said be was going into the discount business with
• person named Millwood, and that be would give him 1501.
per annum, the same as he paid his other clerks, but that it
might ultimately be worth from 3001. to 4001. per annum,
as he intended tally to go into the hosill•IS, and he expected
to make 40,0001. that year. Calor were taken, however,
at 73, Chespeide, and plaintiff mitered oa his oboe inn April.
He attended to the banking account, wrote letters, and saw
persons on business. Defendaat had made 15,0001. in three
yams before this, and numbers called at the offices with
regard to bringing out public companies. There was ealy
• lad in the aloe beside' Millwood. Several
publishess refused to publish the pamphlet, became
of its libellous character. He declined to become the pub-
lisher with the address at the office, but believing defendant
then to be a victim, plaintiff induced his father, who carried
on business in Ammoorner, to publish it. Belied altered
his opinion with regard to the defendant since then. For-
tunately the pamphlet dad not sell, and no harm came of it.
He claimed for services between April, 1863, and No-
vember, 1863, but be had remained with the defendant
until recently. Between April, 1863, and April, 1864, the
defendant let the plaintiff have two sums of 121. sod 211.
Defendant promoted the Prince of Wales Hotel, and mkal
plaintiff to become the secretary pro tem. Plaintiff mid
he preferred being the manager, upon which defendant said,
" Oh, I'll shove yew in." Defendant's name was Alexander
Hamilton Gunn, and he called his residence " Hamilton
House." There were three names of firms on
the office duor, "Gunn and Millward," "Gaon and Ca.,"
and "A. H. Gaon." The shares in the Prince of Wales
Hotel were allotted on the 18th Nov. ad directors were
appointed. When defendant paid the plaintiff the 211. he
asked him for • promissory sate, to show his partier as as
acknowledgment that he had received W. lie claimed
871. 10s. of the defendant. He had only received 331. He
had been served with • writ as secretary ot the Prince of

Cross-examined—Be was brought up as • bookseller sad
publisher. He had known the defendant about ens year..
Defendant had frequently dined st the plaintiff's Mama
The publishers refused to publish the pamphlet is mow
mimes of • statement having appeared in the nevrepapen
that the insurance company was a swindle. Defeodant was
anxious to have it published as Dear the Stock Exchange
as possible. Defendant's offices were the offices for the
Prince of Wales Hotel Company, and plaintiff eigaed the
memorandum for registration on June 20, 1863. Twenty.
five shares was the qoalificatiou for • director, and there
were highly infiusotial names as dismal'. He wanted to
pay sums money to the City Discount Company. When de-
leaden% gave him 121. he gave defendant the promissory
cote, as the latter wanted to show it to his parteer, as if he
had does • bill for the plaintiff. Defendant gave him 33/.,
and he supposed the 361. bill was to show the discount.
Defendant seed him oe the bill on the 21st March last, and
be immediately issued this writ spinet the defendant. The
bill was not drawn to order. He knew when he gave the
note that he should be liable to the bolder. At that time
he had every confidence in the defendant. He was fre-
quently at work at the office so late as ten or twelve o'clock
at night. He looked over the Victoria Hotel for hi wife,
and defendant wanted to make a company of it.
Re-examined—Defendant did not pay more than 1001.,
though be had several hundred shares in the Prince of
Wales Hotel Company. Many subscribers paid their de-
posits, but they applied for repayment, and then it ex-
ploded, the secretary losing hie salary. The defendant sod
his partner not being able to agree defendant again tamed
his attention to the formation of public companies. There
was hardly • thing—in fact everything—upon which the de.
fondant could not get up • company. (Laughter.) He got
up general companies, credit companies, banks, and in.
sumac* companies—inn foot he was a general company
monger. (Laughter.) Defendant called himself a merchant,
but plaintiff saw say goods.
The plaintiff's wife was called to prove that her husband
was employed by the defendant as his oonsdential clerk, and
that she had foand him at the office writing so bite as 11
o'clock at night. She did not go to fetch him home. He
was not afraid of her. He was not smoking and drinking,
but writing.
The defence was • denial of the plaintiff 'a claim, and that
an unfair prejudice had been raised against the defendant.
He further urged that if there was anything bad is what he
had dope, the plaintiff by aiding him was equally in fault.
The defendant was called, and gave • different venire
about the pamphlet. He said that having started the
hotel company he was bound to publish the pamphlet, and
that he asked plaintiff's advice upon it, when be suggested
his father. It was in coosequence of a gentleman of pro-
perty at Norwood asking him if it world accord with his
views to get up a companfor building an hotel that he

Plaintiff f called upon him in reference to it, and asked to be

terms, and he promised to further his interests. Plaintiff
might have done some trilling things for him by way of
friendship. He only discounted for friends ; and he ugly
discounted five hill for 3801. during the time the plaintiff
was with him. Defeodaet positively stated that the plaintiff
