Gunpowder Plot, those of the gallant major's election ate
dience who feel themselves a little chagrined by the city
opprobrious epithets and denunciations used by him on co
nomination at the last election for North Kesel, mustered
eis mum in the high-street, Braintree, to pay the let no
bute to him whose continued scurrilous language is b grist
upon hint such unenviable notoriety. About 8 o'clock iu be
evening an effigy, borne on a long pole, and well il;anna:d
with torches, headed by* hand of music, paraded the t..:4
to the no small amusement of those present. On 0.. foot
of the effigy was attised, by means of flour And Irma, s

'BEE TRADE AND TILE BOARD OF TRADE

(Fr.i the Daily Noma)

iiVR Male-T% is to-day to preside at R Privy
Council, when the substance and the terms of the
kirevn stir 1, to ithirrow to deliver in Parliament will
be finally settled. the Protectionist Ministers who,
till the an.e.th of March in the present year, were I
load and unanimous in declaring that free Trade
bad inflict... great injury on the country,—and several
61 whom love since then rep Med such opinions,
will have to s aplain to her Minim' in what way
her hangdog' has been desolated by the policy whist
they have rv.,di tugged. The Board of 'trade tables for
the month of September and for the first nine months
of the year. yeasts relay published, must help to make
their task ant owl. one.
These tables inform us that them were 23,932
Olen, 17.: et cows. and 111,722 sheep imported in
the nin, months of 1852, against 23,12 t; oxen, 11,612
Oohs, sod 114;246 sheep imported in the nine.
Months et 1831, or 7,701 more oxen and cows and 1
30,166 more sheep imported in 1652 than 'a
Ln that nine mouths, however, the graziers and
flock masters have been doing remarkat4 well, and
the people. by this addition to their styptic* have
been so much bettir fed. There was consumed, too.
in the nine months of 1652, of foreign corn—wheat.
1,1199,766 qrs.; burley, 171,173 qrs.; oats, 5:i0.479
qrs.; maize. 1,066,239 qrs.; and of foreign 'lour
3,196,2:11 owts., well a proportionate quantity of
beaus mil pees. All that is a great achlatims to the,
people's food, but while the price of wheat is 2s. SI
per gamier higher now than it was host year at this
time, the quantit of foreign wheat less consumed iu the
nine months v.( Is'2 is 1,379,169 qrs., of maize
42thei:s3 spa., and of fureien dour 1.2A1,350 qrs., than
in the nine inotehs of InOl. If the wheat growers,
therefore, have suffered this year it is not from en
excess of the qoantity ef corn imported, but from
other causes. The Protectionist policy would have
curtailed 'these supplies still more,—raised the price
still higher,—and, if it increased revenue and rent,
would laic substituted a decaying and discontented
for a prosperous and a contented people.
Ilaving a toleg able supply of bread and meat, the
people bait, consumed in the nine m nabs of 1652

Of all these articles the increase of consumption is
♦ery great. and it is particularly remarkable of
sugar,—being no less than 313,914 cats., or nearly
mu-eighth of the whole consumption in the nine
months lied year. When we examine, too, the sort
of sugar consumed, we find that the consumption
of foreiwi sugar has fallen off' 3:37,119 cwts.,
while the consumption of British plantation,
Fed Indian, and .lituritius has increased
1.133.311 ewts, rho result, therefore, of the
reduction of our sugar duties, which the Protec-
tionists and the anti slavery ,arty reprobated, is not
to iacn•a the consumption of gave-grown, but of
free labour sugar. What will Sir Jolts P. INGTON
say of *hi-, --or what will ho advise her NIAJESTY to
osy to Pdrliaintmt about again increasing the pro-
tecting duties on sugar ?

Turning from articles of consumption to the mate-
rials of manufacture, the tables inform us that iu
flax there is an inerea.se in the nine months
of this year of 3611,071 cwts. ; of cotton, of
908,774 ewes.; of silk, .571,7 4.5 lbs.; of timber,
foreign, 90.621 loads, and of wool 466,350 lbs.
In metals and other articles there is a similar in-
crease; Ira we stop the enumeration to notice the
;nerves,. of wool, because it has been expected that
there %mild be a great decrease in this article. In
fact, in the import of colonial wool there is a slight
decrease, but it is more than compensated by the
increased importation of wool from other parts. At
the same time, the exportation of foreign and colo-
nial wool has fallen off 3,290,025 lbs., leaving us
really with a greater stock of foreign wools this year
than last of 3,762,675 lbs. It must, however, also be
noticed t hat thee:putative of English wool in the nine
months exceeds in value the exportation in the same
period last year by 289,7251.,—great1y to the advan-
tage of our wool growers. For this the flock masters
are whoriy indebted to Free Trade ; fur the time is
not yet remote when the exportation of wool we.
strictly prohibited.
With the specimens we have given'of increased
importation and of consumption we must be satisfied,
but we cannot avoid noticing that the importation of
potatoes has fallen off from 418,770 ewta. in 11t31 t•
238,739 cwts. in 1832 ; that bacon has fallen off from
151 399 to 62,500 cwt,..; butter has fallen of from
235,529 to 218,816 cwts.; and cheese has fallen off
front 223.040 to 205,229 cwtw ; and of moot
of these urtieles the decrease is successive. The
duty on butter and cheese makes it adrantageses
to turn arable into pasture farms; but land duped
qualities will not pay different seats, and there Ma
nut long be different rams of peat on dialled
agricultural occupations. The readlio therefore, le Its

sad woollen manufactures, which is the last
item we shall quote, entered by the piece
110,816.. ; entered by the yard 73,1641. In all Us;
important manufactures a the country there is an
increased export, sa there is an increased import et
must of the articles of consumption. The tables take
no notice of the precious metals imported, nor of the
quantity exported, but both have been considerable,
and have ad to the amount of freight, and have
Increased the business of the country.
To these examples of our growing. prosperity we
mast add that the tonnage entered inwards in the
nine months is less than that of last year by 811.711111,
but of this diminution only 207,008 tons est et
3,052,711 are English tonnage, while 314,738 tams
out of 1,790,127 are foreign tonnage. English Map
stage has declined only 7 per cent., foreign tonnage
has fall. n off 18 re cent. Whatever mar be'
the cause of the diminution of tonnage entering
inwards, it is not the result of foreign snub
beating English vessels out of the field, for the
foreigner.,—and particularly the Prussians, who were
the must dresuled,--are the beaten party. The tee-
nage entered outwards shows an increase in the nine
months of 216,112, and as the increase of English
tonnage is 232,873 tons, it is plain that while or
tonnage outwards has increased, the foreign tomusp
has fallen off. In these facts we have evidence as
strong in favour of the repeal of the Navigation Laws
as the increase of imports and exports is in favour of
Free Trade.
How will Ministers meet these facts ? How can
tiny iiiplain to her MAJGATT the disadvantages of
Free Trusle so as to induce her to sanction them in de-
claring to Parliament that it has been an injury to
the community? They will hare to recant all their
doctrine,, this day before their royal mistress, and
Confess that they dare not follow in Ake the
principles they ineulated in opposition. In calling
her Mtn ,Tr. attention, —as they will gladlycall it,—
to the tranquillity and prosperity of the people under
their admiuistratix:, they will be obliged to admit
th tt contentment and prosperity are not due to them,
and that they, as well as the country, arc deeply
indebted to that policy which Toryism has made it
a life-long banners to deers.
