THE SOUND DUES.

Mr. T. MlTClll.LmYedateiireelord of the Trea-
sury whether, as the Danish gi.veroment now makes no
charge equivalent to Sound Does on all Reeds plating by
the new railway through its awn country from Tonalities,
in the North Bee. to Flensburg, in the Battle, it wee the in-
tention of our govrrament to leave longer unsettled the
g I question of the Bound Dees, to the great detri-
ment of British shipping engsged in the direct trade to the
Beide.

—.—
Lord PALMERSTON said It wee not true that no toll
was levied by the Danish g.:vernmeat on goods passing by
the new railway. The feet was that there was a toll levied
equivalent to that levied on goods passing the Bound. The 4
toll was paid by the railway company, and charged by them
ea part of their fare. Hence, no doubt, arose the idea that
no toll was levied. With regard to the Sound Dan, corn-
munioations had been going on for some time between the
Danish government and the maritime powers, but no Baal
arrangement hid been made. The subject was still under
the consideration of her Majesty's government.
