FIRE INSURANCE DUTY

Mr. PALK asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether
it i., his intention to repeal the duties on fire insurance,
which, it has been stated, enables foreign companies to
insure at a less premium in consequenoe of their freedom
from a similar tax ?

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQTIER said he had no
intention to introduca such a bill, but should it become
necessary to introduce a measure to prevent foreign evasions
of the duty, he should not hesitate to brirg

OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA

On the motion for the House going into a committee of li
supply.
Mr. ROEBUCK said—ln bringing forward my motion
"to call the attention of the House to our relations with
the United States of America, and to move for the pro-
duction of all correspondence with the Government of
those States relative to the conduct of Mr. Crampton," it
is incumbent on me that I should make an apology to the.
House and the Government, after what has beestor3 stated
on this question. It has been stated by the noble
the
Queen's the }wad of the Government that the reason why
Queen's Speech did not allude to American affairs was,
that the negotiations were not in such a condition as
that in fairness to all parties it could be brought forward.
On that proposition the noble Lord appealed to the
House, and said—do you think in that state of things I
ought; to have mentioned it to the House, and
have bronght forward an incorrect statement of
the affairs in question ? I quite agree with the noble
Lord that to have done so would have been wrong, but
as I believe that silence would lead to that conclusion, I
am determined to break this silence. It appears to me
that there has been an incorrect statement of these affairs
laid before the people of England, and that we really do
not know what has occurred ; and I. think I hold in my
hand,
enable m
themeae to makensthat,

te
it, and
will actual
state of affairs. As my intention is only to convey to the
House, and the nation at large, a correct statement of the
facts in question, I hope the House will bear with me
whilst I discharge that duty, (Hear, hear.) The noble
lord at the head of the Government stated that he had
done all that, as a man of honour,: could be done in the
case of America—that he had apologised for what had
been done—had expressed sorrow for having entrenched
on the laws of that country, and fall that could be done
by persons desirous of peace, and that honourable men
might be called on to do. (Hear.) It the facts were as
the noble lord had stated, I should have been the first to
have supported him in that view of the case; but, as I
believe they are very 'different to that which have been
stated, I have come forward, if I might use the expression,
to enlighten the ignorance of the world on the matter—an
ignorance that has been fostered by holding back all that
militates against England in this particular, and leading

Mr. WILLIAIts made a complaint of the amount of the

House prevented him from moving that those fixed for that
night be referred to a select committee.

Mr. WILSON observed, in reply, that these estimates
frequently, of late years, were considered by committees.
The House then went into committee of supply, and the
several votes for the Revenue department were agreed to.
