BARNSLEY, Fan. 16.-We had a good mpply of all demerits.
time of grain. In Wheat a full average business was done,
at an advance of from Is. to Is. 6d. per 3 bushels. Barley,
for malting purposes, 2a. to 3s. per qr. dearer. Beans, Peas,
and Oats firm.
Ety, FIB. 18.-We had a good attendance at our Corn
Exchange to-day, and a fair show of sample* of Wheat, but
the millers still buy very cautiously, which caused the trade
to be rather dull at last week's quotations. All spring Corn
was rather Kane, and prime little varied from last week.
Return Wheat, :192 qn., average 62e. 3d. ; Oats, 114 qn.
1 bushel, average 32e. 4d. Beaus, 75 qrs. 7 bushels, average
525. Peas, 9 qes., average 54e.
HULL, FEB. 19.-Of Linseed the only snivel this week
is one cargo from Taganrog, consisting of 840 qn. Then
has been a brisk demand throughout the week from the
crushers, who have bought freely of all qualities, and the
market is much relieved of sundry parcels which were grew
ing on sale. The value generally has been well eupported,
although, in some instances, the buyers have had the ad-
vantage.We quote Bleck Sea, 50s. to 61e. ; Petersburg, fine
50g., down to 42e. for inferior ; Riga, 413 e. 6d. to 43e.; Ara.:
angel, 45a.; Memel, fine, 485., down to 375. for inferior;
Konigsberg, which is very scarce, 454., down to 37e. fur in-
ferior. Bleck Sea Seed, spring shipment, is held firm at 465.
per qr. delivered here. Rapeseed : Nothing doing, for want
of supplies. Advices continue to be received of the new
crop on the Continent having suffered materially from severe
frosts. Linseed Cakes have been of steady sale ; l 11. 7e. 6d.
to 111. 10s. per ton for Bull-made, of best quality. American
end Marseilles, 101. 6e. to 101. 16s. per ton. Rape Cakes
are very ware and much wanted.
LIVERPOOL, FEB. 19.-Although upon a limited num-
ber only of the country trade this morning, and our
local miDers slow in their proceeding., tome further sales
of Wheat were effected for Irish account at a decline of 3d.
pens 70 lb. in the value of all descriptions. American Flour
superseding in a great degree the nee of English and Irish,
the litter mast be noted Is. per sack, and the former 2s. per
barrel cheaper; at which, with the exception of 17,000
barrels of New Orleans, taken yesterday for investment, the
transactions mince Tuesday have been entered into less freely
than before. Malting Barley and Malt, with • limited
supply of each, steadily maintained late prices, and
gnnding Barley reminied unveried. Beans, upon a
limited demand, barely sustained our last quotations ; and
Pea receded 2s. per qr. Oats continuing to meet little
notice, were rather depressed in value. Oatmeal on the con-
trary, commanding more attention, was the turn dearer.
Notwithstanding the large arrivals this week, yellow Indian
Corn nearly supports its previous value; and though the
general qualities of white are Is. per qr. lower today, a con-
siderable portion of the import ham been already sold for Irish
consumption.-Arrivale from the 16th to the 18th Feb., in-
clusive into Liverpool and Runcorn: Wheat, 8,578 gm •
Barley, '2,291; Malt, 2,093; Oats, 672; Beans, 2,900;
Peas, 3,699; Indian Corn, 24,393; Indian Corn Meal,
6,534 barrels ; Oatmeal, 325 loads ; Flour, 1,030 sacks, and
18,668 barrels.
LINCOLN, Fan. 19.-Since last Friday we have had a
great change in the weedier, it being now mild and Open.
The show of wheat in our market to-day was large, and al-
though a great portion went off slowly at • decline of about
2.., much remained at the close unsold. In other kinds of
grain there was but very little doing. Wheat, white, 735. to
78s. ' • red, 70e. to 76e. Barley, 60e. to 58s. Gate, per 11 el.,
30e. to 36e. Beans, for seed, 541. to 60..

RtroN, Feb. 18.-Our supply this week war much short
of the usual average. Wheat ready sale at advance of 2s. per
v. Barley dull at quotations. In Oats and Beans no alte-
ration. White Wheat, 9s. 3d. to 10s. 6d. per bushel; red,

Reveres!, Pie. 17.-Wheat IL 6d. per load dearer, and
Barley le. 6d. per qr. advance, given with great reluctance;
supply liberal; change in the weather caused a brisk trade
in seed corn. Wheat, 42a. to 61e. Barley, 48a. to 635. Oats,
28s. is 365. Return posted: Wheat, 461 qrs. 2 bush., average

53e. 35. Peas, 8 qrs. 6 bush., Runge 52e. 9d.
SCARBOROUGH, Fie. 18.-From the unsettled state of the
market, buyers as well as tellers do business with great cau-
tion. This week the market has been firmer, and better
prices have been obtained. A pretty good business has been
done at the following prices :-Wheat, from 9s. to 10e. per
5 stones; Oats, 17d. to 18d per stone; Barley, from 425. to
52*. per qr. of 30 stones ; Seconds Flour, 565. to 575., and
imperfine, 61a. to 02e. per mask of 20 stones.
Sotrrnattrrox, FEB. 19.-At our market to-day there
eau net much doing, but holders were vary firm, and no al-
teration in prices can be quoted.
Sr. Nun's Fie. 18.-No alteration in prices. Wheat,

40e. ; new, 30s. to 40s.
IJIBRIDGE, Fan. 18.-The Wheat market was hirly sup-
plied to-do , but very much out of condition Lit was, how-
ever, considered to be fully as dear as on Thursday last.
Barley fetched the same as lust week. Oats, Baena, sod
Peas, are about Is. per qr. lower. Wheat, 171. 10s. to 2U.

rate this week, the trade is generally extremely dull. Senors
of Wheat do not press sales, but to excite timoott a Moo-
don in prices most be submitted to. Barley mom la In

time the 6 per cent. lean was aimed, and he returned to the
4 percent, at which he could raise any sum be wanted, and
in fact left 10,000,0001. behind him in the treasury. He did
not attribute blame to the government; he believed the reve-
nue of India was in a flourishing condition, and that there
was no unnecessary erenditure. He believed that the fault
lay at home. It was not fair to the people of India that
when money could be raised here at 34 per cent. they should
have to pay 5 per cent., or 14 per cent. more on the money
raised for the purposes of the government.
The Marquis of LANSDO WINE said he would not then
enter into the consideration of the policy of the loans in
India, but there would be no objection to produce the in-
formation which the noble earl desired to have, when it
was in a6t state to he produced. Two months had new
elapsed since it was known to tke companies desirous of
speculating in railways in India on what terms and conditions
certain advances might be made. Up to this time, however,
no answer had been returned from these companies ; which
was %pretty strong proof that they did not consider the
terms as particularly advantageous to them, or it was pro-
bable they would have closed with them sooner. When the
papers were laid on the table they would show that the
utmost degree of caution had been used, and that it had been
at no time in contemplation to raise a loan for the pupase
of giving assistance to these undertakings.
The Duke of RICHMOND could not see what objection
there could be to offering the same guarantee to Irish rail-
roads which it appeared the government offered to Indian
retreads.
Lord BROUGHAM was opposed to giving any guarantee,
either to Irish or Indian railroads.
The Earl of RIPON thought the establishment of rail-
ways in India would be of great importance, not only in a
commercial hut also in a political point of view.
RAILWAYS—CURRENCY.
Lord ASHBURTON, in moving for the following returns,
said he would reserve anything be had to ay upon them
until he heard from the noble earl opposite which of them he
intended to ippon and upon what grounds he meant to
do so :

The Earl of'CLARENDON bed no objection to the first
five retinae, and the sixth was already published; but with
respect to the other three tenor for which his noble friend
bad moved, he hoped he would sot pro them. He did not
object to them on the part of the Br k. but because he
thought it would be udicial to that establishment to lay
their riser aaamestar before the public and create rivalry
on the pre id oder bookers, from whom such returns were
z tazindood. The returns moved for had been invariably
lothe directors to the proprietors ; the Bank Charter
Ad.monover, secured the publication of all that it was
them& omessary to obtain. (Hear, hear.)
Led ASHBURTON said, that in the present state of
esfortauat ffairs it was most desirable to see the Went
hadcontributed to such a state of things, and
Mink could give the returns without anv injury to
diemadesa, a refusal to do so would come with. bed grace
Atom Ora If they withheld the returns he should be prone
to benne that something not very prudent had taken place.
He would, however, aubstitate for the returns objected to—
"a return of public securities held by the Bank "—and then
he should not have moved for any paper that was not within
the ordismy weekly return of the Beak. (Hear, hear.) He
oily wired the returns to enable parliament to see what
WA
hem the cause of the movement in the money market.
Lea NONTEAGLE said it could not be supposed that
there was any
.objection on the part of the Bank to make the
returns; bat it would be most Impolitic to call on them to
do ea.
Lord BROUGHAM thought the withdrawing of the
motion would not conclude the Bank from coming forward
and tendering the information, and if they did not do so he
should be rather disposed to believe that they had an objet-
Lien to make the returns.
Lord ASHBURTON would alter his motion, as he had
suggested.
PRIVATE COMMITTEES.
Lord REDESDALE, is moving "that the committee ap-
pointed by the house to name the select committees for the
consideration of opposed private bills, shall not name any
such committee on any oppoeed railway bill after Monday,
the sth day of July,' said, that he hoped this resolution
would have the effect of inducing parties connected with
railway bills to urge them forward, as he trusted no circum-
stance would induce their lordships I. relax the resolution in
the slightest degree, (Hear, hear.) Exceptions had been
made last year in favour of two or three bilk, but be hoped
such a course would not be again adopted. (Hear, hear.)

in such times as these. If sugar were cheapened and used,
to soy extent, the use and the price of corn must •
diminish. There not only existed great distress in:
Ireland, but even in this metropolis, and through,:
out England, though not to so groat an extent, eat,
they should leave nothing undone to prevent any further
increase in the distress. In ordinary times, when malt
would be at 60s per quarter, sugar would not be able tee
compete with it, and even if it were they had sufficient, evi-
dence to prove to them that sugar could not be tut
at
breweries without deteriorating the quality of the beer, .
rendering the brewer liable to a great deal of inoonveniuge y,
and then the effect of the measure would be to beadle the
a rower of barley and the consumer of beer. It wee the;
interest of the West Indies that the use of mamma should,
be allowed in breweries, but the government thought la
better not to allow it, because it would be inconvenient tio,
all parties. The duty on it was ss. 91, and if 252 lbs. of
molasses were equivalent to • quarter of malt, the duty.
would be required to be raised to 9s. 4d., in order to put it
on a footing with sugar. This would be • very great hard-
ship, because molasses formed a great portion of the son-
sumption of the lower classes. It would be necessary to
have a duty imposed on it equivalent to the difference be-
tween the duties on malt and sugar, which would cause a rut
deal of expense to the revenue and a great deal of inoon ,
venienoe to the brewer. New he would proceed with the
question of the admission of sugar into distilleries. He
would beg the house to remember that sugar was at pre-
sent allowed to be used in distilleries, on previous no-
tice being given, but it was Wended with great inconve-

Malt was mad in Amanda the purpose of prmeoling

was collate sisocharirdag the wheie. Spirits were produced
from grain in this peopeetion „_• 2 parts of melt, 2 parts
oats, and 18 parts Whey; end the result of this distilla-
tion had to pay 7s. 10d per gall a, net including the duty
already paid on the two pathos of malt. It was proposed
that the spirit predated her sugar should pay the same
duty as that produced item earn in order to put sugar
and malt on the some tooting. In order to carry
that into effect, it we. proposed that the disunite
should be allowed to take the sugar out of the bonding
vomiterse on paying a duty on it, and when he came
to pay a duty on the spirit, he would be allowed the
difference between the duty on sugar and malt. Now the
' taut question to be asked was, what was the amount of
spirit that will be produced ? From the year 1799 to 1812
the use of corn was, at various times, prohibited in distil-
lairs, and the use of sugar substituted. Various calcula-
tions were made to ascertain what was the amount of spirit
that would be produced from a certain quantity of sugar.
It was invariably' found, when the experiment was tried, that
111 gall of spirits were produced from 1121 b. of sugu. The
hut& of the excise department had made a report to that effect,
shun which experiments had been made, which were
attended with precisely similar results. In one instance
there was an increase in the quantity produced, which only
went to prove the luxury of the former teats ; it was a case
in which 12 gallons were produced from 1.121b5. of sugar ;
but the sugar was in a dry crystallised state, and cum-
quently calculated to produce a larger amount than moist
sugar. Under these circumstances he did not think that
the growers of barley in this country need have much to fear
from the use of sugar in distilleries. At the present moment,
when the price of sugar was 475. per cwt., ruger
and malt were on a perfect equality. In ordinary times,
when barley would be at 30s. per qr., sugar must be at 17s.
per cwt., which never had been the case, and probably
never would he, to allow it to come into competition with
the former. The use of both in distilleries and breweries,
would depend altogether on their prices. lie would not do
the protectionist or the agricultaral party the injustice to
imagme that they would like to turn the distress of the coun-
try into asource of profit to themselves. His opinion was, that
the West Indies would derive great benefit from the mea-
sure, and that the agriculturists of this country would not be
injured. He couldamure his noble friend (Lord Stanley) that if
he thought that any doubt could be thrown on the accuracy of
the calculations which were already made, or that any fresh
information could be obtained, be should not object to his
motion fur a committee of inquiry. But, convinced as he
was that these calculations were perfect, and that no further
information was required, and that somagood may be effected
by passing this measure without further delay, he would
move that the, house go into committee on these bills.
Lord STANLEY said, although he did not contend that this
ought to be a temporary, rather than a permanent measure,
this be did contend, that if her Majesty's government were
prepared to introduce it as a temporary measure, there
would be no occasion for any diacuesum whatever. There
would be no occasion for any reference to a committee, if it
Were stated to be temporary. But when they had, he would
not say under the cover of, but coupled with, • measure for
the relief of temporary distress, effected a great alteration in
a portion of their commercial policy, he did not go too far in
saying that this measure should not pass with a light examina-
tion, and that a temporary calamity was notsufficienttojustify
them, without the fullest information, in passing • measure
which would have a material effect on the sugar growers in
other countries, and barley growers in this country
By this measure they would exclude the produce of their
own colonies, while they introduced the rival produce of
foreign countries. They seemed to be following thatcoune step
by step, measure after measure. Such a measure was intro-
duced to destroy the protection of the corn grower. At the com-
mencement of the Makin they were called upon for the purpose
of introducing corn into this country to suspend the naviga-
tion laws There was nut a dissenting voice to this tempo
rary measure, but within one week a motion was made in
the other house, in which it was argued that all other re-
strictions having been taken off, the shipowner had no
claim for protection; that foreign producers and British
colonists had a right to receive produce from ships of every
nation ; and that the restrictions which protected the ship-
owners should be swept away as the lumber of old times.
The motion was for a committee to make inquiries into the
existing low, and what course did her Majesty's govern-
moot adopt? Did they consider whether those who brought
forward the motion had or had not made up their minds to
destroy those laws? No; they immediately same-
tioned the appointment of the committee. That
was the necessary consequence of free trade. That
committee had the destruetiou of these laws ..s its oteect.
liomeatinsts, when a question was brought forward, for the
="1:1of sifting a measure by the examination of the
lad figures which fumed its essence, it was con-
venient to refuse the inquhy into those facts and figures.
But when an inquiry was asked for, in which the facts are
broad and notorious, and the ilanderental interests of the
country were believed to be at slake, that was an occasion

be produced from a quarter of mak was net 18,
nor even 16 gallons, but 15 and 84-100ths. And if
this quantity, or sixteen gallons, were assamid es the
amount, inroad of comparing the produce with 200, it must
be compared with 1601 be., this making a difference of forty
pounds as to the competition of the different articles in the
mine market. It was impossible to make these statements
intelligible to their lordships ; and on that very account he
asked them not to take on credit any statements from either
side of the house, but to exandrie into the facts alleged by the
noble lord. If those facts were borne out by evidence, his
impression was that the result to the agriculturiats would be
a matter of little consequence, and that the colonists would
ultimately be materially injured by the incensed consump-
tion of foreign sugar M this market. When the experiments
were tried upon which government relied, the price of He
vannah sugar was 495 per cwt. Supposing it to be the fist
that • quarter of malt was equal to 'AOlbs. of sugar,
the calculation of the excise commissioner was that
at 504. 4d., to which price it might not
unnaturally rise, was equivalent to malt at 90s. ;
and that, until malt reached 905., sugar could not be brought
into competition with it, if the price of segar were from 49..
to 50s. That, if tree, disposed of the measure as • remedy
for the present distress; because, with the present big i
prices, sugar could not be brought into consumption to com-
pete with malt and barley. (Hear.) But the noble earl
said that, at some period or other, there would be a great ad-
vantage in introducing sugar ; thus he adopted the principle'
of a diding•seale, admitting or ekcluding sugar according as
the price of corn rose or fell. It was alleged that the nice.
sure would prevent uncertainty in the prices of colonial pro-
duce, while the fact was, that it would depend on the fiao-
tuations of prices here whether sugar could possibly be in-
troduced so as to come iato competition with corn or not.
(Hear.) But these were proper matters for examination
before a select committee and if the government were oor-
rect in their calculations, there would be a disposition on the
part of theme who adeocatei the principle of protection to
adopt the measure, without fear of the result to
the agricultural interest here, but certainly with a
very diminished opinion as to the benefits the
colonists were likely to derive. The greatest benefit to the
colonists would be a considerable rise in the price of sugar ;
bat unless it suffered a material fall, it could not come into
eonsumption at all. He doubted whether a large increase
in the consumption of sugar would materially benefit the
West Indian interest, under the present state of the law,—
the duty on their produce remaining fixed, while that on
foreign slave-grown sugar was yearly diminishing. His firm
eonviction was, that any increase lathe consumption of sugar
in this country would be mainly from slave-grown, and not
from colonial produce. In the course of 1844, the
consumption of sugar in this country was 206,0001
tau ; In 1846, it was 240,000 tons of British,
and 3,861 tons of foreign ; altogether, about 244,000
tons. Supposing the consumption of the last month of
1846 (for which he had not the return) to be on an ave-
rage with that of the remainder of the year, the total °as-
sumption of sugar bad risen from 244,000 tons to 266,000
tons. Of these amounts, in the first year 240,000 tons out of
244,000 tons were British sugar; in the second, 238,000 tons
out of 266,000 tons. Thus the consumption of colonial sugar
had decreased by 2000 tons, and that of foreign slave-grown
sugar lied increased from 3,867 tons to 28,196 tons. (Hear,
hear.) The same thing was going on at the present tno-
'amt. In the first six weeks of this year there had been
an introduction of 27,000 tons of sugar against 18,000 in
the same period of last year ; the increase being 1,500 tons
of British auger, and 7,072 tons of foreign slave-grown
sugar. (Hear, hear.) Ileum the prospect, nay, the cen
twisty was that the increase of eonsum'tion here would be
an increase of slavegrown, not of solocual sugar. This had
been the case in the int as months after our ports had
been opened to foreign sugar, before that stimulus which we
had given to the slave trade had had time to work, before
a Slagle pound of sugar had been produced by the foreign
planters with the knowledge that the British market would
be open to them. This increased consumption had taken
place out of the surplus of former production, which had
come in under a duty of 215., against a duty of 14s. What
would be the state four years hence, when the benefit of our
enlarged market for foreign slave-grown sugar had been in
operation four years when estates had been cultivated, when
cultivation had Nisi extended, slaves imported, production
materially increased, and an alteration of 7.. in the duty be-
tween now and 1830 in favour of foreign slave-sugar, and
against our own colonists? (Hear, hear.) No benefit,
therefore, to the colonial producers could possibly re.
salt from this measure. The noble earl had said,
that under any circumstances malt at 60s. per quarter
would require sugar to be 365. the hundred-weight for it to
be possible to come into competition. That would depend
not only on the quality of the spirit to be derived from the
agar, but on the amount which could be extracted from a
quarter of malt, with reference to which they were entirely
la the dark. But, though sugar might be 365. in the
market, it would be introduced into the distilleries
at Ms., minus the drawback of 12s. 10d., the whole of
which the importer was to receive bock. Thus,
while malt; was' very heavily taxed, sugar might be intro
duoed with a drawback (the most objectionable of all modes
of remitting duty) of nearly the whole of the duty. That
also was a subject which deserved the inquiry of a com-
mittee. The noble earl bad said that sugar was never
known so low as 355. or 36e. • he had forgotten that the duty
was never so low as at preterit. In 1830 Jamaica sugar had
been sold in this market at 43m, paying a duty of 24s the
cwt. ; thus making the cost mini 191. And a very siert
time ago, Havanna sugar, which the commissioners et
excise &dared to be 3 per cent. better than the ordinary
run of Jsmaim sugar, was selling, minus the duty, at 21..
per cwt. Adding to this the duty of 145., and deducting the
drawback of UM 10d., the consumable value was 22.. 2d.;

were the principles of dams bilis? &imply theses it was
thought that the sugars of the British colonies
should come into consumption here for all por-
tions, and subject to no restrictions except those
necessary for the purposes of revenue, and that if these
sugars were capable of being used either in brews g or dis-
tilling, the menus laws ought so to be arranged that no
bias would be given to the mind of the brewer or distiller,
but that both should be left to say whether they would or
would not use it in the oourseof their manufactures—in snort,
that a bias should not be given to the manufacture any more
than if no duty was charged. Now this was a question
which it did not require a select committee to solve—
it was a question to be decided by one branch or other
of the legislature. If their lordships tad attended to
the speech of the noble lord, they would have perceived that
the points upon which the noble burl required inquiry were
not very clear, for he had been much confused in his state-
ment,
so much so, as to get quite beyond his (Earl Gre)'s)l
depth, and to disable him from following the precise drift le
the noble lord's argument. The points on which he sensed
to desire inquiry were, es to whether it would answer tie
purpose of the brewer and distiller to use sugar in his masts.
facture, when sugar was at a particular price. Now, that WIN
a matter with which the house had nothing whatever to do.
He did not think it of any sort of consequence whether in point
of practice it would be profitable to those manufacturers to
use those materials or not; that was a question for them to
determine according to their own interests, and all that the
legislature had to do was to see that the revenue laws were
so framed as not to prevent those embarked in those trades'
from manufecturing their commodities in a way most pro-
fitable to themselves and advantageous to the public. (Hear.
hear.) In point of fact it was quite clear that the use
of sugar at a certain price would answer the
purpose of the brewer and the distiller; but
there remained a still more important consideration, namely,
that those measures would be of great importance as tram
in every time of scarcity to spare the consumption of eons
in breweries and distilleries, and also in preventing at periods
of Brat abundance in the production of sugars, the prior
falling to • ruinous low rate. (Hear, hear.) The measures,
he repeated, went towards an equalisation of prices, and he
thought it quite unnecessary to refer a question of
prices to a select eamminee. The house had before It
calculations which had been recluse* to writininwflrthmagro:
care by experienced psesons eampelmit to afford
on the question. Tite malls Menporimendo whisk had been
made were sated besod Mfrs IMO wan capable
of being better than any Miro, on sure
a subject. By those sagewimsats it been asmetained,
clearly as any fact meld be established, that the smallest
quantity of sugar ever bald to be equal to one quarter of
malt, was 180 lbs. Nowoosse quarter of malt paid ;,,,,dual
of its. Bd., and taking ens hundred and eighty
of sugar to be equal to one quarter of malt, it
would pay a duty of 225. 6<1., so that this measure
under the most unfavourable showing would not give the
slightest advantage in point of taxation to sugar. Upon this
there could not be the slightest possible doubt, and hence
again it would be useless to send the measure before a salmi
committee. With respect to spirits, it was equally clear that
the calculations had been made with the same fairness, and
both sugar and grain were placed on nearly the same footing
so far as related to fiscal burdens. (Hear.) If the calculations
were, however, wrong, the house was the proper tribunal to
decide on the points of difference, and he must say that
a reference to a select committee would be a most incon-
venient course; the appeal ought to be from the executive
government to either house of parliament, and not to a
select committee. It was related of au ex-Chancellor of
the Exchequer, in former days, that when it was proposed
to refer a question of this kind to a select committee, he
stated, " I will not consent to have the office of
Chancellor of the Exchequer put iota commission,"
and in those views he (Earl Grey) entirely con-
curred. The government had prepared these measures
upon the best information they had been able to
obtain, and by these propositions they were prepared to stand.
They were to be submitted, and if they were to be overruled
they mast be so by ems of the branches of the legislature, end
not by a select committee. This had been the usual practice
—it osrtainl was the most convenient practiee, and to it he
hoped their would adhere. If the noble lord oppo-
site (1/1111 Bersky) thought the calculations upon which the
govenmsent lad acted were wrong, let him move his own
calculations by way of amendment. (Hear. hear.) He
(Earl Grey) had every confidence in the accuracy of the cal-
enistions on which these measures were based. The noble
lord did not seem prepared with any specific calculations,
but asked for the appointment of a select committee, in
which he could fish out points which at present he was
unable to bring forward. (Hear, hear.) Before he (Earl
Grey) sat down, he must advert to cue part of the argument
of the noble lord, with which he had been much surprised.
Tbe noble lord said that these were supposed to be measures
for the relief of the Weld Indies, and of advantage to the
sollooists, and, said he, " I entirely reject that
proposition." The noble lord treated the petitions which
had been presented from the colonists, from the China
Association, and from the agents for the different West India
islands, as though the petitioners knew nothing on the sub-
ject of their own interests, and the noble lord urged that the
result of these hills would be to give exclusive advantages
to the slave-grown sugars of foreign states. The noble lord
argued that the duty on foreign or slave sugar was in the
course of progressive reduction, and that, at the end of five
years, the duties would be equalised ; and, that
being so, and as foreign. sugar now comes into
consumption here, all the increased consumption would
go to that description which had the benefit
of the lesser amount of duty. Did it not strike the noble
lord, that whether these bills were passed or not, foreign
sugars would come into the market under the act of last ses-
sion, and that as the protection to the British colonists was
to be gradaally diminished, it was to the advantage of the
colonists that some effort should be made to afford them an
extension of consumption. (Hear, hear.) And these mea-
sures were intended to neutralise the effects of the
diminution of protection. The noble lord was in
error in supposing. that a great increase in the
consumption of sugar in this country would be entirely for
the benefit of slave-grown sugars. He (Earl Grey) believed
the contrary would be the result, and be had a confident
hope that the British colonists could greatly reduce the cost
of production. There existed among the planters of the
West Indies end the Mauritius a tendency to improve the
mode of cultivation—they were exerting themselves with
great !Lim' and activity with a view to increase the amount
of their produce. He believed that the crops now in the
course of being sown in Jamaica, Trinidad, Antigua,
and almost in every one of the colonies, would
turn out to be very largely increased in com-
parison with the produce of preceding years. Two
years ago, the produce of the Mauritius was estimated at
4.5,000 tons ; last year it wee estimated at 60,000 tons, and
the crop now being sown was estimated by the governor and
the planters at 60,000 tons ; being an increase, in two years,
of 16,000 tom upon 4.5,000 tons. For these reasons, he
(Earl tet) confidently hoped their lordships would reject
the ma ...ment proposed by the noble lord opposite (Lord
I=BHBURTON, who spoke in an almost inaudible
tome, was understood to say that he ally and entirely dis-
united from the course taken by the government, with re-
mien to the two measures now under consideration.
He was masineed that in ten years there would be a com-
plete revnlekin of opinion in this country, on the subject of
free-trade, soda pneral return to old principles.

LONDON (CITY) SMALL DEBTS BILL.
Mr. MASTERMAN moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. BODKIN, in opposing the motion, called the attention
of the house to the fact that, in consequence of the dispute
between the Corporation of London and the Common Coun-
cil, there was at that moment no Judge of the Sheriff's
Court. The Common Council had thought fit to make the
appointment annual, and by the bill it was proposed to place
the appointment of other judicial officers in the same posi-
tion.
Mr. WARBURTON moved that the further consideration
of the bill should be postponed until that day week.
The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took rlace,
and the bill was read a second time.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.
Lord J. RUSSELL intimated his intention, of moving
upon Tuesday se'anight, for leave to bring in a bill to alter
the constitution of the Ecclesiastical Commission. Prior to
that day he should make a statement to the house as to the
particular objects which would be contemplated under this
measure.
Mr. HUME asked if any report had been received from
this commission ?
Lord J. RUSSELL apprehended that inasmuch as the
commissioners under their new powers only met for the first
time yesterday, they had no report to make at present.
IRISH CORPORATION BILL AND ELECTIVE
FRANCHISE.
_ _ . .

Major LAYARD faked if it was the intention of her
Majesty's government to bring forward the Irish CoraWn
Bill during this session of parliament, or to introduce any
measure on the subct of the elective franchise In Ireland.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said the government were prepared
with two bills on these subjects, and he hoped to be able
to submit them to the house at such a period as to afford
time for their fair and ample coesideration.
RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.
Mr. G. BERKELEY wished to all the attention of the
Under-Secretary for the Colonies to a report which had
reached him of an occurrence in our dependency of Berbice.
It was stated that s clergyman named Bell, and a Presby-
terian minister named Johnston, had attended a convict who
was under sentence of death, but were unable to mike any
impression upon bim. A Roman Catholic priest named
Kelly, sent out by the government to officiate to convicts of
that persuasion, was then called in, and was requested to
try his influence, and with much difficulty he succeeded in
eliciting from the man his desire to receive the Sacrament
of Baptism. Upon informing the gaoler of this circumstance
that functionary refused to permit Mr. Kelly to administer
the sacrament without an order from Yr. Bell, the chaplain
of the gaol. Mr. Bell was mat for; and he refused to
permit the priest to proceed. and consequently the convict
suffered without the stagnant being administered. He
wished to know whether these facts had reached the
government 1
Mr. HAWES said the only information relative to the
circumstance which had. reached the Colonial-office came
from a source which was equally opmitto the hon. number
and to himself—namely, through thenolumns of a colonial
newspaper. He would,' however, canes an inquiry to be
made respecting the alleged occurrence.
THE OFFICE OF CORONER.
Mr. G. BERKELEY had.a question to put to the Hasse
Secretary. lathe Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, a resent
had lately.been elected who wu resident in the town ad
Cheltenham, unless than twenty.wight miles from the scene
of his duty. He wished to know what measure should hi
taken to remedy this grievance ?
Sir G. GREY 'said that as no notice had been given him
of the question, he was . unable to answer: it.
CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE RELIEF OP
IRISH DISTRESS.
Mr. HAWES intimated to thehouse that he bad meshed
a notifications from the House' of Assembly in Nova Scene.
that they had contributed -a sum of 1,0001. from the rie
wares* of that colony towards the binds of the... British
Aseselation for. the Relieb or extreme Dianne in remote
parts of Ireland and Scotland." (Hear, hear.)
IMPORTATIONS OF FLAX SEED IN IRELAND.
Mr. FORSTER wished to put a question. He had been
informed that the government had iorted a masatity of
flax seed into Ireland, and he had reeneed a liner frog a
large commercial firm in Limerick asking Mm to asontais
from the government their intentions with reference to this
subject, as there was reason to think that until their inten-
tions were known the regular importers of the article.
knowing that they could not compete with the government,
would suspend all importation of this seed. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was thought to be
exceedingly desirable to import into Ireland some seed,
awhich those who were disposed to turn their attention to
the growth of flax might entirely rely, and, under
these circumstances, the government ad permitted
*1 importation of 600 bushels, but without any in-
tention of making any further importation whatever of the
ankle upon their own account. (Hear, hear.)

FROCEEDINGS ON
BILL DIVISION.
Mr. HUME addressed the Speaker. An order had been
passed during the two last sessions that Mr. Speaker
leave the chair upon Wednesdays precisely as the hands of
the clock pointed to the hour of six, irrespective of any bed.
nem that might be proceeding. On Wednesday last them
was a division taking place at the hour of ix, the =Ma
ed
which was not reported by the teller until after six Allealk.
He wished to know if, under these circums:anem, this
report of the tellers could be received. His own Mow I
was, that if they sat live minutes past six, they might
sit fifty.
The SPEAKER—The hon. member was quite right in
stating that under the rule of the house the Speaker was to
leave the chair at six o'clock on Wednesdays without the
question being put : but that could not take place during a
division, because, during a division, the doors of the house
were ordered to be locked, and these doors could not be
re-opened until the result of the division was reported by
the tellers to the chair. As, therefore, the Speaker could not
leave until the doors were opined, and as the doors could
not be opened until the tellers had reported the divisioc,
the division must proceed even though the clock were at six.
(Loud cheering from the opposition, mingled with much
taught-'r.)
PUBLIC BUSINESS.
Sir A. BROOKE said, it would be convenient to Irish
members if the noble lord at the head of the government
would state what course he intended to pursue, with refer-
ence to the public business.
Lord J. RUSSELL would be very glad to make any state-
ment which would be for the convenience of the members
of the house. They proposed that night to proceed with the
Peer Relief (Ireland) Bill—a bill to which there were not
many amendments. With regard to the other Irish bills,
he did not think, as there were many objections to those
bills, that it would be of any use proceeding with them that
evening. On Monday next, either bin right hon. friend the
Chancellor of the Excnequer, or himself, would make the
financial statement, after which he would propose the second
reading of the Railway Bill. He did not think they could
go on with any Irish measures that night. On next Friday
he would propose going into a Committee of Supply for the
voting of the Navy Estimates. On the Monday and Friday
of the week following he should also propose to proceed
with the consideration of the estimates, so that it would bell
Monday fortnight before he could bring under the con-
sideration of the house the Irish bills now postponed,
namely, the Bills for the Improvement of Irish Estates, and
for the Relief of the Poor.
THE BLACK CAT SCHOONER.
Mr. MUNTZ said, that as the embargo laid upon this ves-
sel was a matter of serious consequence to the owners, and
as great pains had been taken to prevent a house being made
yesterday, when he had a notice on the subject on the paper,
be should feel it right to take the very earliest opportunity
of bringing the subject under consideration.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
Lord J. RUSSELL, having moved that the report of the
Committee of Supply be brought up,
Mr. HUME rose to state, that when any vote was
to be taken on account of the British Museum,
he should feel it to be his duty to bring under con-
sideration what appeared to him to be the defects in its
management. He wished the government to change
the constitution of the trustees, and instead of having an
irresponsible and self elected body, to form a really respon-
sible board. An election had taken place that morning, and
he wan informed, and had no doubt, that a most eligible
member had been elected ; but it was complained, and with
justice, that the departments of science and natural history
were not properly represented.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that considerable amendments in
the management of the British Museum had already been
effected. He would, however, consider the point mooted by
the hon. member, and give him an answer on a future day.
The report of the Committee of Supply was then received.
LABOURING POOR (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion that the house go into committee onthis bill,
Mr. D. BROWNE went into a lengthened statement of
the distress existing in Mayo, as detailed in the newspapers,
and called upon the house to lose no time in affording effect
teal relief.
Mr. LEFROY said that various communications which
he had received fully confirmed the heartrending statements
of the journals as to the fearful distress now overwhelming the
f sepia of Ireland.
Sir B. HALL said it might be very true that some of the
rents in Ireland wore not paid, and that the mane eve& of
landlords willing to do their duty, were crippled accardingly.
There was one rent, however, which for a long the
had been very punctually collected and reported at
don Hall, hut from which not one farthing, as far as be
could learn, had been applied to mitigate the distress.* of
those for whom hon. gentlemen meeting in that hall IMMO,
intensely anxious. (Hear, hear.)
Sir W. VERNER condemned as much as any man the
collection of funds such as had been alluded to by the hon.
baronet, but more especially their collection at a time Lie
the present, when they must be wrung from a starving
people. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the great cause of
such misery was the subdivision of land, but that ahead not
be visited on the present landlords, seeing that it kin=
commenced by their ancestors sixty years since. He
that the measure* of the government would have the effect
of producing a better state of things in Ireland.
Mr. LABOUCIIERE said, that some g!ntleiese seemed
to be of opinion that the extent of Irish misery Wes 11111114111,
rated in that house, but he appealed to the home wherfaser
he, on the part of the government, had ever sought In cow
oeal the amount of distress in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He
believed, and he said it with the deepest regret, that it
would be scarcely possible to exaggerate in description the
amount of human suffering prevailing in many parte
of Ireland. Statements had been made to the house oa the
subject, and if they were made for the purpose of
government to adopt every remedy in their power, be
assure hon. members that they were quite un . It
was not because government was unwilling, kw it
was indifferent that anything would be wan , hutdestnalk
was, that the powers of government to Ids esimelif
were far more limited than was generally thee**. Eimer
men might differ as to whether or not the wane...* of
vernment had been jade:easily applied, hat *5 arty keg
been employed to an enormous extent in the mild of bilk
distress nobody could attempt to deny. He believed thall
that moment, 600,000 pus= in Ireland were reesislity
vernment money under the Labour Rate Act. (Hear, bar.)
Great as these efforts were, and had been, they could not
wholly prevent the loss of human life; but he had the satis-
faction of believing, that if thine who had been rescued from
death could be estimated, the government might reckon its
hundreds of thousands. (Hear. The measure to which be
had adverted was the principal, but not the only gee to
which the government had hd recourse. The system of
soup-kitchens through the medium of relief committees had
been extensively carried on, and government had every-
where liberally advanced money to meet contributions from
local sources. Of course the great cause of distress was the
high price of provisions, but tnere could not be a greater
mistake than to suppose that government could by any
means make these prices artificially lower. The martinis
of the landlords and the clergy had, in many cases, been
most praiseworthy ; but he trusted they would not mane
their exertions to the display of individual charity. Grow
delusions were at work amongst the Irish people, and he
alkyd on the landlords and clergy to assist in dispelling them.
He had recently received a communication from Mayo, from
whisk he learnt that in that wretched county an organised
eiembisstiest was at this moment going on, the object of

such thing.) The hon. member for Beth, however, pro-
ceeded at some length to vindicate the people of ,
England from the charge, first observing that their
conduct was far above the attacks of either of these
hon. gentlemen, and that they. would vie with each Maw
in doing good to Ireland in order that they might
more effectually give the lie to such base aeemions.
He, on the other side. had to complain that the Irish land-
lords had not contributed so they ought to have done towards
the relief of distress in that country—instancing the fact that
in Stibbereen the poor-rate, which was only sd. in the
pound, bad not been paid by many persons fully capable of
plying it. Now, he hail it in his power to state, that is
parts of the county of Somerset the people were living upon
horse beans and rotten turnips ; and that in the town he
, represented, a meeting had been called to consider the best
mode of relieving the distress. With that fact before his
eyes, he had a right, as an English representative, nay, it
was his duty, to demand that the Irish landlords should con-
tribute their fair share. "Hear, hear," from Irish member.)
It had been stated and verified by the Secretary for Ire
that not only was the land in that country not being tilled,
but that there existed in the county of Mayo a comblandes
not to till it. Now, as an English member, he felt blood'
to call upon the government to beware, that in their propo-
eels for the regeneration of Ireland, they did not create a
feeling which would lead to the same result—that they did
not check the tilling of the soil by making the people de-
pendent on the government. The hon. member having again
defended the English people from the charges which he
alleged to have been made against them by Irish members,
concluded with a personal attack on the hon. member for
Meath (Mr. Grattan), in reference to whom, he observed,
that the name only remained—that the substance Wes gem,
and the spirit had fled.
Mr. SHAW expressed his surprise at the unprovoked at-
tack made by the hon. member for Marylebono ou the He
landlords, and pointed out the injustice of laying hold et
two or three poor-law unions upon which to found =eh
attacks, and passing over the remaining 130 well-managed
unions. It was certainly not the fault of the Irish member'
H the business of that evening were delayed. (Hear, hear.)
Accusations bad been made against Lord Lucan, Sir W.
Becher, and others, which had been proved to have bees
unfouaded ; and it was now his duty to state in consequenee
of what had fallen from the hon. baronet, that he had that
morning receimd a letter from a respectable clergyman is
Cork, saying that the large property of Lord Car-
bery was now in the hands of the Dowagm
Carbery, and that her whole time and nearly her 1!=
fortune were devoted to meet the present distress. (Hear.)
~The hon. member for Bath seemed to say that the English
people were accused by the Irish members of want of gene-
rosity. He (Mr. Shaw) had never heard any such charge
made in that house. He bad beard the hon. member and
a few other hon. members accused, and justly accused, of
violence and vituperation ; but he had heard no such accusa-
tion against the English people or the government. (Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. ROEBUCK in explanation,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he agreed very much in the spirit
of the observations of the right hon. gent. (Mr. Shaw). He
(Lord J. Russell) was very far from boasting of any generosity
on the part of parliament or of the English people; and
he thought the government might claim exemption from the
charge of insensibility as regarded the distresses of Ireland,
which had been brought against them so freely before the
commencement of the session. (Hear, hear.) There were
two matters upon which he wished to say one or two words,
in connection with the future. It was impossible to look
forward to the next year without very serious apprehensions.
(Hear, hear.) Although he could hardly believe that any
efforts would carry Ireland through the transition which
they must expect to see there without very great roffer-
ing, yet, through the neglect of precautions which were
within reach, that suffering might be greatly aggravated.
He was sorry to learn front some Roman Catholic priests
that is various parts of the country the smaller tenants did
not intend to cultivate the land because they did not expect
a very good harvest. This arose from a very unfortunate
constitution of society. He had constantly observed that
when landlords spoke of their tenants, they were apt to find
fault with them either for neglecting cultivation, or conceal-
ing the real amount of their produce • while, on the other
, hand, tenantscomplained that landlords pushed their rights
to the utmost, and deprived them of the 1114311 of subsistence
by forcing from them high rents. He thought that eider a
better e pint were manifested between the two elesses, and
especially unless the landlords went more omega the
tenants and conveyed to them their wishes for Heir pros.
perity, no legislation would be of any.amil. (Hear, hear.)
Another point was this : there was not, he thought, the
smallest hesitation on the part of the people of this country
to snake any sacrifices that might be necessary to alleviate in
a degree—for it must only be in a degree the very
great calamity which had fallen upon Ireland; but he he-
lieved there was an opinion in this country which was wow
spreading among the people of Ireland that, whatever
might be done ip the preeent year, in reference to future years,
it should be provided by Law that all those who were in a
state of destitution should be relieved, when the workhouse
was not full, in the workNouse—when it was full, in some
-- hear. He did not believe Irish re-

other place. (Hear, _.•.)
presentatiree would oppose the establishment of that prin-
ciple ; and all classes in this country would be much better
satisfied with measures imposing a pecuniary sacrifice
on themselves if they sew that measures founded
on that principle were cheerfully assented to. Hs
had not beard, nor did he expect to hear, a single objec-
tion to the principle that the property of Ireland should be
liable to be charged for Irish purposes.
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN said nothing would please him
better than the appointment of a resolute body of men to
visit the scenes of misery, and report as to the conduct of
the dillarent landlords. He thought the measures of the
govemnoriesterylnadeose auste. to
res hullentotth,e.etpbrzir
ttwoe,igme:t-
ro:wei.rd; and in refiarenee to one of them, that which was
called the Soup-kir:hen BM, he believed that, however be-
neficial it might be in towns, it would fail in the
rural districts. As regarded the question of labour,
he thought they would be obliged to continue the
application of stimulants for several years. 1,500p001. would
do very little towards absorbing 600,000 persons employed
ea the roads. He regretted that the proposal of the noble
lord, the member for Lynn, had been *Wed.
Mr. B. ESCOTT said the measures before the house had
not been put forward by the government es fully adequate
to meet the calamity. The whole subject was one upon
which little difference existed amongst honest men. The
English people were anxious to give to Ireland an equality
of rights, but they also desired that equal burdens should
accompany those rights.
Viscount BERNARD urged upon the government to re-
member the impossibility of occupying the people in agricul-
tural work, alone.
Mr. H. GORE thought that they never could benefit
Ireland until they got rid of the present system of small
holdings. He felt great confidence in the measures of the
government with reference to Ireland.
Mr. FITZGERALD had just came from Ireland with
his mind full of the horrible scenes he had witnessed in that
country, and he must say that he thought the government
ought to do more than they were doing for its relief end
permanent improvement.
Lord C. HAMILTON requested the noble lord opposite
to postpone the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, in order to allow
the country gentlemen of Ireland to return home until after
Easter, and take an active part in relieving the wants of their

coramen.
J. RUSSELL regretted that he could not from a
sense of public duty accede to the noble lord's request.
Lord C. HAMILTON said that he lamented the noble
lord's determination, because it would prevent himself from
attending the discussion of the measure.
Viscount CASTLEREAGH said that considering the vast
difficulties which the government had to contend with, he
thought that hon. gentlemen making minor differences
ought to give their best support to the noble lord opposite,
in promotion of the efforts which he was making to re-
lieve Ireland front the heavy calamities under which she
was labouring. (Hear, bear.)
Lord DUNCAN recommended members of the house to
lay aside mutual recriminations, at all events until the im-
portant measures before them in reference to Ireland were
prsetieally disposed of. (Hear, beer.)
Mr. S. CRAWFORD was persuaded that nothing would
permanently benefit Ireland without an efficient poor-law.
The house then went into committee.
On Clause 1 being proposed,
Mr. GOULBURN said tho object of this bill was merely
to render valid certain irregular proceedings under the act
of make ; but he tit very essential that words

Upon the question tint the first clause owl part of
the bill
Mr. GIOULBURN thought it would be bather te f x a

allow it to be unlimited.
Lord J. RUSSELL considered it wouldbs mem aduinibie
to leave it to the discretion of the Lads ef tin Treasury ;
the sum axed for public works by the government lan en-
Sim bad been exceeded by mix times the amount.
The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 4 was agreed to, after a short discussion, with some
