THE IMESIAH TARIFF.

Mr. J. L RICARDO asked whether the government had
any knowledge of the details of the mvised tariff of Ramie;
and if so, whether they would lay them upon the table of the

-ITV:LOWE said the Board of Tee& was in possession of
some of the changes la the Romiaa Tuff, but the informa-
tion it had received was neither full nor explicit. When they
W obtained a mom complete statement, they should be
kappy to lay it on the t:b
Bir C. NAPI ER, returshig to the subject started by Cap-
tain Vivian. mid it was absurd to suppose that smiling yes-
tole could compete in point of speed with vowels which had
an auxiliary steam power at their command. Bach a power,
to be need maims, would make not less than a mouth's
difference in the length of the voyage to India. The mis-
chief had all sriaan from reducing the home squadron. If
they had not done that, they might have &charged half the
chips' companies, taken out the guns, sad marched the troops
on board ; and they might than ham bass on their way to
India in eight and forty hours after the news had been Dr
aired.

Sir W. CODRINOTON, refening to the lions question
about the model., said there had beta ee6deat time to make
the erreagementa. Oaken were leaving the army, men mem
dying, and the medals were delayed for ea 111111103SIMITny long

would be given to the matter. It was a voluntary offer on
the put of the Turkish government to give these medals,
therefore he should not h►ve thought that it would be nem-

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTIONS OF THE PRESS.
Mr. AY RTON put the following question to the Chan-
cellor of the Etchequer, which he mid was of coludderable
importanoe to those interested in newspapen end periodical
publications °—•' Whether It la the inteatka of government
to continue the prosecutkn of the publiaher of the Betsy
Tones, and to abstain from prosecuting the publisher of the
Free Press, and Mall other newspapers sad pamphlets pub-
limbed without compliance with the Mertes relating to
security and registration r' From what passed on a previous
night it appeared the government wee acting under the ad-
vise of the law officers of the mown. It seemed the govern-
ment had commenced a prosecution against a paper called
the Btrry Times, and he.wiehed to know whether it was their
intention to end Tee the provision of the statute es to secu-
rity and registration generally. Until the question was fairly
brought before parliament It was not the duty of tho govern-
ment to enforce an obsolete statute.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not
think it wait the duty of the government to take the opinion
of the hones on any existing statote, but to enforce the law
as they found it. (Hear, Mar.) The law referred to was
pawed in 1816 ; and at the last change of the law affecting
newspapers it was dieted!), elated that the laws relating to
sonority and registration would be enforced. It wait intended

the Free Pre,. wail not considered as coming within the deli-
