Worvad° Sugars raised by free labour in the Manilla are

35:.ne bounty on refineo, Sugar having, in October last, been reduced to
been 82,,,%, Per cwt., no %ales for exportation at that rate of bounty have
ean„ '"ected ; the excessively high prices paid by all British consumers
this":„t, therefore, -now be attributed to the bounty. Nevertheless,
t vuuction stit.t leaves, allowing ls. per cwt. for the poisonous dirt con.
~ained in the M ascovado or moist Sugar—and which is extracted by the
tylz:encess of reti ',ling, a clear bounty of 10s. 8d per cwt., which would, in
4eti event of an ample supply of Sugar from the West Indies, come into
oPe'ration, and by stimulating the exportation of refined Sugar,
ca,aYs nr.tintain the average price of West India Muscovados at 10s. per

COPFEc.—The duty on West India Coffee, the price of it ranging from
955. to 138 s. per cwt , is 565. per cwt., about 50 per cent. ad valorem.
The duty on St. Domingo Coffee, the average price of it being 425. per
cwt., is 140 s. per cwt., or about 300 per cent ad valorem. The protec_
tire duty, therefore, on West India Coffee is equivalent to 250 per cent.
Some importers of Coffee, availing themselves of the privileges conferrred
by the East India Company's Charter, have absolutely shipped Coffee
from the Brazils to the Cape of Good Hope, and thence to England,
Where, in consequence of the privilege alluded to above, it is admitted for
home use at a duty of 84s. per cwt. A sale of Brazil Coffee brought by
this circuitous route occurred in Mincing.lane last week, so that through
trickery, and favouritism in duty, the British public are unconsciously
'glade consumers of 'Coffee raised by slave labour, to the exclusion of that
eUltivated by free hands in St. Domingo.
NVe demonstrated last week that thegain to the monopolists, and the
u's to the British community by the protective laws on West India pro.
