LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUN 119 viSt

pense incurred by the Bishop of Newfoundland on
account of a passage from Newfoundland to Bermuda,
on visiting that part of his dioces', 601.; the expense
incurred by the R-.v. HM. Blakiston, on account of his
uldsage to Constantinople, on his appointment as chap-
-1410 to her
embassy at that place, 501.; for
the entertainment of the Bishop of Victoria, on several
occasions, v;hilt visiting the consular cities in China, on
board her Majesty's steamE sloop' Reynsird,'; 921. 10s.
After a few observations the Hon. Gentleman moved to
reduce the vote 'by these items.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said it appeared to him that the
I introduction of the word " bishop" into a vote was suffi-
cient to induce the Hon. Gentleman to oppose the vote.
The question, however, which the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had just been discussing was not new, it had
been frequently debated, and the result of all the discus-
sion was the approval of the vote on the part of the
Legislature.
Mr. HUME thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
who had introduced this discussion had done nothing but
his duty. It might be unjust to call upon the bishop
to pay these expenses out of his own pocket, but it was
still more unjust to require the country to pay them.
The fact was, the time had come when they ought to
have some settled principles upon which all these ec-
clesiastical charges should be made upon the public ex-
chequer, and he for one should be always ready to oppose
these votes for ecclesiastical purposes in the colonies.
The Church possessed a property of more than 600,0001.
in value, and yet last night they were called upon to
vote 38,0001. for its assistance. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman deserved great credit for introducing this sub-
ject, and he should certainly vote with him if he pro-
posed any reduction of the estimate.
Mr. ANSTEY said he should move that the estimate
be reduced by 300/.

Colonel SIBTHORP was quite as willing to recom-
mend economy cs the Hon. Member for Youghal, or the
Hon. Member for Montrose, but it appeared to him that
the opposition of the Hon. and Learned Member for
Youghal was not so much directed against the
vote as the Established Church, and as he for one could
not allow the establishment to be attacked in this manner
he should certainly resist the amendment. He was
nevertheless an advocate of legitimate economy, and as
he could be no party to the Great Exhibition robbery,
he should move to omit the sum of 1,5051. 7a. 6d. for
salaries of secretaries, clerks, and messengers for the
Commission for the promotion of the Exhibition of the
Works of Industry of all Nations.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved a further reduction of the
vote by 1,5701.
Sr JOHN :PAKINGTON said this complication of
amendments would lead to great confusion, and he would
suggest that they should be taken separately.
Sir GEORGE PECHELL hoped this was the last
time they should hear of such an estimate as this, and
hoped if it was required next year it would be paid out
of the Secret Service Money.
Lord DUDLEY STUART objected to saddling the
country with the expenses of this estimate.
After a few words from Mr. Hamilton, Mr. W. Wil-
liams, and Mr. Hayworth,
Mr. ANSTEY said, to save one division, he would add
his reduction of 3001. to that of the Hon. Member for
Lambeth, who concurred in the fusion of the two
amendments.

The CHAIRMAN said the larger reduction, which
was that of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, would have
to be put first.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared-
For the amendment of Mr. Williams 40
Against it ... 97
Majority against it ...
The amendment was accordingly lost.
The CHAIRMAN was then directed to report progress,
and the House having resumed, he did so accordingly.
The remaining twelve o'clock orders were next
posed of, and Four o'clock having arrived, the House rose.

The House resumed at Six o'clock.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, it was
agreed that the House at its rising, should adjourn unti
Monday next.

PETITIONS.
Mr. THORNELY presented a petition, praying the
House to take steps to increase the supply of guano to
this country.
Sir E. BUXTON presented a petition from a place in
Essex against the Militia Bill.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, June 11.)
Suoan.-To.day there was a reluctance to operate
en West India Sugar for home consumption, yet holders
remained firm; and obtained full rates. Purchases are
400 hhdet, and making for the week 2,126 hogsheads and
tierces. There were many buyers to-day at a small re-
duction. At auction 34 barrels Nevis realized 33s to
355, for low to middling yellow, and 31s to 31s 6d for
fair brown.
REFINED.-Today a free sale was experienced for
Refined for home consumption, and prices closed with
firmness; Grocery lumps at 48s 6d to 51s per cwt. For
Crushed Sugar there is yet an improving market.
MAIIIIITIIIS.-This afternoon the demand was not
more active for Mauritius sugar, and at public sale
8,400 bags were chiefly sold, best sorts at steady rates;
inferior and brown at 6d per cwt decline. Fine and
good yellow went at 34s to 37s 6cl, low to middling
31s 6d to 335 6d, fine brown 30s 6d to 31s 6d, middling
to good 28s to 30s low to middling 25s 6d to 27s 6d, and
refining sorts 30s to 31s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon a good demand was ex-
perienced ler Madras; 5,591 Lugs at public sale sold at
full rates, soft brown at 24s 6ci to 25s 6d, and low to
good yellow ditto 263 to 28s. Of Bengal few parcels
were sold privately, at auction 1,100 bags realised full
m white Benares.
Eosr, andEiG N went. at 363 6d to 38s 6d, for good or fine
To-day operations in Foreign Sugar of

are desirous to operate at full previous rates. There was

ported, and there are many buyers; Antigua at 158 6d
to 165, other West India sorts at 13s to 15s; Cuba and
Porto Rico 14s to 15s; Bengal and Mauritius 12s to 13s

per cwt. Tamarinds are yet much wanted; East India at
83 to 145, and West
-tidies 253 to 403 per.cwt. Stock is
le Indies than for some time.
COFFEE.-This afternoon a good business was con-
cluded in Plantation Ceylon privately, and stiffer rates
were obtained. There was no public sale; Native finds
a better demand at 443 to 44s 6tl fur good ord. Of
Mocha 85 bales at auction went at full terms, good clean
garbled at 783 to et

realised stiff prices, good and fine ord pale 45s 6d to 49s

TEA There is now more disposition to operate in
inferior Conon at last week's valuations; and in better
kinds a good deal has been done, previous prices being
easily obtained.

We have much pleasure in stating that Mr. Roe-
buck's health is by no means so seriously affected as would
be inferred from a paragraph which appeared a few days
since. After undergoing much fatigue during his canvass at
Sheffield, and being much reduced by a severe regimen, he
had a slight paralytic attack, which for a time impeded arti-
culation. This soon disappeared, and under medical treat-
ment the learned gentleman is rapidly gaining strength,
although he will probably not again appear in the present
Parliament.— Times.
The Ipswich Express says that the emigration from
that town to Australia is very large, and that numbers of
inhabitants are selling off their effects, preparatory to leaving
the country for the " diggings."
COASTERS AND COLLIERS.--It appears, from a re-
turn to Parliament just issued, that last year there were
19,748 sailing-vessels, of 2,778,525 tone, and 662 steamers,
of 206,666 tons, that entered the port of London as coasters
and colliers.

A PARAGRAPH ONLT TO DE READ By THE LA-
DIRS.—Every man has his price, so said Walpole; but he
never said as much of woman. The fact is, Walpole
judged the ladies only too correctly, for he knew as well as
we do that many of those dear creatures are beyond all price.

present moment, and, taken in connexion with a re-
mat Oeble doeuewnt which had been rec. etly i;nl,li hod
by a member of tier Majesty's Gruver nee ees of
espreial ieserest. The deem:neat to a eich lie tthud''d
one of very greet importance; but emanating, at
did, from the Miniat' r aho W 53 specially charged with
the atiminietration of the finances (it' the e entry, the
interest and value anaehieg to it could rest be too highly
appreciated. The document to which he referred had
appeared in the usual channel or intermetion; it had
attached to it the name of the Chancellor cf the Exche-
quer, and it stated that " in preparing the financial state-
ment for the year, it was officially represented to me
that I must contemplate, in estimating the produce of the
income-tax, a diminution of rent not much less in
amount than 6,000,000/. steeling." But then ho went on
to state, and this was a remarkable passage to which he
(Earl Fitz ivilliam) was desirous of drawing their Lord-
ships' attention, that "practically speaking, in this coun-
try rent has become a return for the capital invested in
the improvement of land; that laws to secure a return
for such investment aro not for a moment to be
tolerated " a most important admission—a most
remarkable expression from so high a quarter—" not
for a moment to be tolerated"--their Lordehipe would
observe that it was not a question of present policy, but
whether such laws ought to be " tolerated ;" that "laws
to secure a return for such investment are not for a mo-
ment to be tolerated, hut laws which, by imposing un-
equal taxes, discourage that investment, are, irrespective
of their injustice, highly impolitic; for nothing contri-
butes more to the enduring prosperity of a country than
the natural deposit of its surplus capital in the improve-
ment of its soil. Justice to the land, in all systems of
finance, is equally the interest of the proprietor and the
farmer, hut it is also equally the interest of the commu-
nity." There could be no doubt that justice to every
class of society was the interest of the community,
(Hear, hear.) But, pessieg on, he came to the follow-
ing paragraph, which was one of very remarkable im-
port, and which he desired particularly to impress on
their Lordships' minds:—" Every principle of abstract
justice, and every consideration of high policy, counsel
that the producer should be treated as feisty as the con-
sumer, and intimate thet when the native producer is
thrown into unrestricted competition with external rivals
it is the duty of the Legislaturcein every way to diminish,
certainly not to increase, the cost of production. It is
the intention of her Majesty's Ministers"—let their
Lordships observe that—" it is the intention of her
Majesty's Ministers to recommend to Parliament, as
soon as it is in their power, measures which may effect
this end." He (Earl Fitzwilliam) trusted that it was
the intention of her Majesty's Ministers also to carefully
consider the means by which they proposed to accom-
plish that end.—(Cheers.) They were then told what
were the means for accomplishing it. " One of the
soundest means, among others, by which this result may
be accomplished, is a revision of our taxatiou." Now
here they bad the general proposition laid down that
they were to have a total revision of taxation, and it
might be wise and desirable to do that, and the results
of such a revision might perhaps be perfect justice to
all. But he would take leave to say that any great
and extensive changes by which burdens which
had hitherto been imposed upon one class of
the community were transferred to another class of
the community ought not to be lightly undertaken, or
undertaken without a full and careful consideration
of all the consequences that might ensue from adopting
such a step. The document then went on to say—" The
times are favourable to such an undertaking; jester
notions of taxation aro more prevalent than heretofore;
powerful agencies are stirring, which have introduced
new phenomena into finance, and altered the complexion
of the fiscal world, and the possibility of greatly relieving
the burdens of the community, both by adjustment and
reduction, seems to loom in the future.' Undoubtedly,
if any means could be adopted by which a reduction of
taxation could be effected it would be exceedingly de-
sirable. But he (:he Earl Fitz oilliacn) was not one
of those who were very sanguine with regard to the pos-
sible results of any such measure, and he would now warn
his friends at Wellingborough, who had done him the
honour of intrustieg him with their petition, not to be
too sanguine in their expectation of any benefit they
might desire from a general revision of taxation.— (II: ar.)
The Noble Earl then laid the petition on the table.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the second re-
port from the Select Committee on the Parliament Odice
and office of Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was
considered and agreed to.
WEST INDIAN DISTRESS.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature, the Vice-
Chancellor, the Master in Ordinary to the Court of
Chancery, the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and other
leaders of the legal profession in the island of Jamaica,
representing the distress under which that island, in
common with the other West India islands, was now
labouring under. The petitioners spoke of the dimi-
nished value of property, and the consequent impove-
rished state of the proprietors. They state that although
the actual amount of crime had not increased, yet that
offences against the person, comprising fights and as-
saults, were greatly on the increase, as exhibited in the
returns of the criminal courts. The petitioners be-
lieved that the state of things which they were euffer-
kg from was attributable to the Act of 1846, reducing
the differential duties on sugar, and expressed a hope
that their Lordships would adopt such steps as would al-
leviate their sufferings. He felt it to be his duty to read
the statement of the petitioners, and while he differed
from them in the economical view of the question, ho
must agree with theta that the effect of the Act of 1846
was to increase the slave trade in the Spanish colonies
and tho Brazils.
Earl GREY could not agree with the Noble and
Learned Lord that the Act of 1846 had the effect which
the petitioners attributed to it. On the contrary, he be-
lieved that it very materially, in conjunction with the
squadron on the African coast; diminished it. The
papers which had been laid on the table showed that
slavery during the last five years, as compared with the
five preceding years, had very much diminished; and at
that moment the parties in Cuba were so satisfied with
what they saw resulting from free labour, that they
were taking measures for the introduction of 8,000
Chinese labourers.
The Bishop of OXFORD laboured under the inability
to maintain silence when he heard the sentiments just
uttered by the Noble Earl, and those also given ex-
pression to by the Noble and Learned Lord (Brougham).
Ho could not allow the statement of the Noble Earl to
pass without protesting against it, believing, as he did,
that the statement containe in the petition presented by
the Noble and Learned Lord, attributing their distress
to the Act of 1848, was correct. He believed that the
necessary aspect of that Act was to give a great
stimulus to the increase of slavery, the demoralization
of the people, and the promotion of the produce
of slave grown sugar in the Brazils. Slaves continued
to be largely imported from Africa, showing clearly one
of the bad effects of the Act of 1846. The Noble Earl
had told them, however, that the introduction of Chinese
labour into Cuba was attributable to the Act of 1846,
but he must protest against the arguments of the Noble
Earl, and against the cause of justice being defeated on
this great and most important question.
Lord BROUGHAM presented another petition to the
same effect, from the President and Associates of the
College of Surgeons in Jamaica.
Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition from
the Board of Council, and Council of the Assembly of
Antigua, complaining of distress, said the inhabitants of
that island were deserving of the respectful attention of
their Lordships, seeing that they had the distinguished
honour of emancipating their slaves, without waiting for
the operation of the "apprenticeship" clause. The pe-
titioners prayed that the House would take into their
serious consideration what steps could bo adopted for
the alleviation of the sufferings of the people of the
island, and would to Heaven that he could see any
chance of the Legislature of this country being able to
afford them effectual relief, for he entirely concurred
that they were most deserving of it.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition on the
same subject, and with a similar prayer, from the colo-
nists of British Guiana, in which the petitioners de-
clared that the single Act of 1846 had not only ruined
them, but encouraged the slave trade.
The Earl of HARRO SV BY presented a petition from
the colonists of the Mauritius, showing that the impor-
tation of coolies had been accomplished to a considerable
extent, and at a very considerable expense, and praying
for the further introduction of free labour into the
colony. The Noble Earl alto presented a memorial
from the island of St. Kite's, %Vest Indies, complaining
of the evils arising to the morals of the population from
recent legislation, and praying the House to ad )pt some
remedy to eff‘ct an improved state of the law.
The Earl of DERBY begged to present a memorial
on the same subject from the clergy of all denomina-
tions in the island of Jamaica. The petitioners bore tes-
timony not only to the distress from which the island
was suffering, but to the negro population lapsing
into a state of consequent immorality, The petition
was signed by 69 clergymen of the Church of England,
and 83 clergymen of other denominations, including
Wesleyans, Baptists, Independents* and Roman Catho-
lics, all concurring
that the negro population were ra-
pidly lapsing into their former state of ignorance and
vice, and that the evil was attributable to the Act of
1846. The petitioners hoped :hat their Lordships would
apply some remedy to relieve them from the injurious
operations of the Differential Duties Act. The effect
of that Act, the petitioners submitted, exposed them to
a most unequal competition. There was no question
but sugar could be produced more easily and less ex-
pensively by slave than free labour, and it certainly
seemed advisable that their Lordships should take the
case of the petitioners into consideration, with a view
of adopting some course that would place the West
Indies in a better position than they were at present.
He confessed he entertained the most serious appr.eoll °nsious, in consequence of the distress from which the .
th
co-
lonists were suffering, and the consequent donra..za
tion of the negro population.
Earl GREY—The Noble Earl had said thatbethe
de-
moralization of the negro population wasas

him to make a few observations

country was so favourable in its production, that the
negroes finding that they could, on the produce of two
days, live the rest of the week without working, became
idle; and as a remedy to obviate that evil, it was con.
sidered that to lower the price of sugar would have the
effect of lowering wages, and cause the negro to labour
more for his subsistence. The anticipations thus formed
bad been realised, and it was now found that iu every
one of the colonies the negroes laboured more, and that
the produce of 1851 exceeded that of 1850 in every one
of Cho colynieo. Now that was the way in which 140 all.
