SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The resolutions on the corn trade, about to be

proposed by Lord Milton, have been printed. The
object of the Noble Lord appears to be the establish-
ment of a fact which is by no, means doubtful--:viz.
that " the existing regulations for the trade in corn
do not prevent those fluctuations in its price, which
are alike injurious to the cultivators of the soil, and
to the consumers of agricultural produce." The re-
solutions state the average prices in England, from
July, 1828, to February, 1829, at 675. and a frac-
tion per quarter; and from March, 1829, to Fe-
bruary, 1830, at 641., &c. per quarter ; while the
mean prices (incorrectly called average) in the follow-
ing ports, viz., Riga Dantzic, Hamburg, Co-
runna, Leghorn, and Philadelphia, were, during the
former period, 425. 10d. in the following ports, viz.
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Havre de Grace,
Marseilles, 535. lid. ; and in the first series of
ports (substituting New York and Baltimore for
Philadelphia), during the latter period,—namely,
from March, 1829, to February, 1830, they were
465. 3d., but at 'Rotterdam, Antwerp, Havre de
Grace, and Marseilles, 595. I Id. The resolutions
then go to show the quantities of imported corn, and
the amount of duties received during the above pe-
riods; as also the striking fluctuation in the averages
between July 31, 1828, and February 11, 1829,
the first of which was fixed at 565. per quarter, and
the latter at 755. 11d., being a rise of 19s. 10d. per
quarter in 28 weeks; whereas the average of
February, 1830, was 565. Id. per quarter, being a
fMll of 19s. 10d. in .51 weeks. It seems therefore
clear enough that if one object of the existing Corn
Law be uniformity or steadiness of prices, that ob-
ject, or indeed any approach to it, has not been
attained. We recommend the concluding resolu-
tion of the series to notice, as a proof of the clear-

ness and good sense with which Lord Milton, one
of the greatest landed proprietors in tire kingdom,
has brought his mind to bear upon the operation of
laws professedly enacted for the security of the
landed interest. " 13. That the said regulations
obstruct the commercial intercourse between Great
Britain and foreign countries—that they enhance li
the price of provisions in this country—increase the
cost of production of all the manufactures of the
United Kingdom, including corn itself—render the
industry of this nation less capable of competing
with that of other nations, and aggravate the dis-
tresses of the people." This is a subject which
cannot be too often or too earnestly discussed in
Parliament, because we are convinced that every
discussion will bring with it an accession of con-
verts, even from among the landed interest, to -the
cause of common sense and of humanity.—Times.

It would be difficult to say what was the object
of Lord Londonderry, in the observations which he
made last night in the House of Peers. What con-
ceivable advantage can arise from knowing whether,
during some period of the negociations respecting
Greece, Austria and Prussia took a different view of
the subject from that entertained by the three
Powers who signed the treaty of London ? Every
body knows that the conduct of the Austrian En-
voy, at Constantinople, for a long time embarrassed
the proceedings of the parties to that treaty; but
surely in exact proportion to the difficulties, from
whatever cause, which have impeded the settlement
of the question, is the merit of those who have con-
quered those difficulties. His Lordship does not
pretend that Austria or Prussia are now opposed to
the objects contemplated by Englani, France, and
Russia; but if it were otherwise, we cannot sup-
pose that his Lordship seriously apprehends any dis-
turbance of the peace of Europe from such a cause.
The Noble Lord calls himself a Turk, but even as a
Turk he might be content with an arrangement
which the Sultan has fully ratified. Perhaps we
may be allowed to ask what arrangement his
Lordship in his character of Turk would pro-
pose : we suspect it would be one which no
friend of Greece would sanction, either in or out
of Parliament. One advantage at least accrues
from his Lordship's candid avowal of his Philo-
Turkism : it must be a signal to every friend of
Greece to repudiate such an ally. In the discus-
sion on the Abolition of Fees' Bill on the demise of
the Crown, the Lord Chancellor made the following
satisfactory declaration :—That the Lord President
of the Council and the Lord Privy Seal had aban-
doned all advantage to be derived from the renewal
of appointments to public offices; and he himself
also readily relinquished any claims of this nature
that he possessed. In the House of Commons last
night, the Chancellor of the Exchequer consented to
modify the additional spirit duties, announced in his
speech upon the budget, and which have since that
time created repeated public meetings throughout
Ireland and Scotland. By his original notice there was
to have been an additional duty of Is. per gallon
imposed upon all corn spirits imported into England
from Ireland and Scotland, and 2d. per gallon (ad-
ditional) upon the quantity consumed within these
two countries. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
did not accompany this proposition with any essen-
tial alteration of the rum duties, so that the Irish
and Scotch manufacturers raised a hue and cry that
they were sacrificed to the West India interests,
and that rum would at or:ce drive their whisky out
of the market. Under this feeling a strong Parlia-
mentary opposition was organized, to combat the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's new Bills, after every
effort had failed to induce him to depait from their
principle. Last night,however, he departed from his
original plan, and, as far as appearances go, has
given complete satisfaction to the previous dissen-
tients ; his amended proposition is, that instead of
the additional ls. duty in England, and 2d. in Ire-
land and Scotland, there shall be a duty (additional)
of 6d. per gallon in each of the three countries, in-
cluding rum ; which at once satisfies the Irish and
Scotch interests, as they are ready to compete with
rum when taxed upon the principle of reciprocity
laid down by Lord Goderich. To meet the diffi-
culties of the West Indian interests, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer affords relief in their sugar duties.
He proposes that when de London Gazette price of
sugar is at 30s. per cwt., the duty shall remain as at
present, 275.; when 2s. under that price, the duty
to be 1/. ss. 6d.; when 4s. under, 1/. 4s. 61; 3s.
under, 1/. 3s. 6d.; and at ss. under, the duty to be
1/. ; the low duty evidently administering relief in
the article of the coarser sugars. With respect to
the spirit duties, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
gave no explanation of the course he means to take
respecting the stock on hand. llis new duties, by
his resolution of last night, are to operate from the
14th of June. But the budget duties in Ireland
have been since March partially in a course of collec-

tion amid consideraLle resistance. He said nothing
of the newspaper stamps ; but the conversation last
night among Members was, that these also would be
modified.—Tinges.
Some further conversation about Greece took
place last night in the House of Lords. An insinua-
tion was thrown out, that Lord Aberdeen's declara-
tion that the production of the papers sought for on
Friday night would be inconvenient to the public
service, was an after-thought, as he had the other
day expressed his readiness to produce them. Lord
Holland inferred from the papers already produced,
that something more had passed than appeared on
the face of the documents on the table. " This
P'

;mint," he said, " he gathered from one of the an-
nexes to the Protocol of the 15th June, 1827, which
related to a period soon after the declaration of war
between Russia and the Porte. There a manifest

tendency on the part of Austria, to draw nearer to the
parties which had undertaken to restore peace' was
talked of; and it, at least, showed that formerly that
tendency did not exist ; and hence it was supposed she
had given some indication of a wish to support Turkey.
A knowledge of this fact might place the assurance
of Atitria in a different light. It might, it was
true, be detrimental to the public service to lay
those papers before the House ; but he did not
exactly see how it could be so ; and if there existed
anything to show that the assurance of Austria were
not sincere, it ought not legally to be withheld."—
So much for diplomacy and official assurance.—
Morning Chronicle.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed last
night some very important alterations in the Duties
on Sugars and Spirits, which, from the manner in
which they were received, seem to threaten a warm
discussion. Hitherto there has been paid a duty of
275. on every cwt. of sugar, no matter what the
quality. He proposes that the duty should vary
with the price, the highest duty being 275., and he
expects, from the increased consumption of the low-
priced sugars, that the falling off in the revenue
will not be considerable. The prices of sugar are
taken upon the average of each weekly sale in the
London market. When the average price is 305.,
then there shall be paid on all sugars that do not
exceed that price by Is., a duty of Is. 6d. less than
' the 275., or, in other words, a duty of 11. ss. Gd.
On sugars of less value than 30s. by 35., there shall
be paid a duty of 1/.45. 6d.; of less value than 30s.
by 45., a duty of 1/. 2s. Gd.; less than 30s. by ss.
a duty of 1/. ; the reduction on the lowest price of
sugar amounting to 7s. He calculated that the re-
duction of the duty of 7s. the cwt. on the coarsest
sugars would increase the consumption one-third.
Assuming that as the whole of the duty given up
amounted to 35,0001. or 40,000/., and that the more
than one-half of that sum would be returned, he
proposed to make good the deficiency by a modifi-
cation of the duties on spirits. Instead of the duties
announced at the commencement of the Session, he
had been led by subsequent inquiries to think that
the method of doing justice to all parties would be
to impose a duty of Gd. a gallon on Scotch and Irish
spirits, to put a duty of Gd. also on English spirits
and on rum, so as to place the whole of the
Colonial and British spirits on the same footing.
From this alteration lie confidently calculated
on an additional revenue of 200,0001. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer went into a variety of cal-
culations to show that the estates which produced
the coarse sugars suffered more than those which
produced the fine, and that the plan (which he de-
scribed as a temporary experiment) would, there-
fore, relieve those who stood most in need of it. On

he other hand Mr. Huskisson observed, that, "

was a very questionable matter whether the measure
of the Right Hon. Gentleman would operate as a
relief to the West Indians. The most distressed of
all the West Indians were our old Colonies, which
produced very little of that kind of sugar to which
the Right lion. Gentleman gave a reduction of
duty ; while the least distressed Colonies, such as
Demerara and others, sent to this country a vast
quantity of that very kind of sugar. Another
argument was urged against the plan by Mr.
Hume, that as all alterations in taxation produced a
change in the quantity or quality of production,
this plan would make the low kind of sugars to be
extensively cultivated by the colonies, and the con-
sequence would be, that if the Right Hon. Gentle-
man found his temporary plan did not answer, he
would step in with some alteration ruinous to those
he now encouraged. Mr. Herries, in answer to
some questions from Mr. John Wood, announced
that it was his intention, at the earliest opportunity,
to state the changes which he should introduce inter
the Act regarding the refining of Sugar. The dis-
cussion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's plan
was fixed for Monday next. As a number of pow-
erful interests are concerned, there will be abund-
ance of stir made.—Morning Chronicle.
The Colonies of this country are at present a
heavy burden on us, r.nd we have not even the con-
solation that by this burden we are benefitting the
Colonies, for the money talon from us is applied
to purposes hostile to their interests. The burden
on ourselves, and the degree of injury to the Colonies,
keep pace with each other. Last night several
proofs of this were given in the House of Commons.
The first vote was for Nova Scotia. In 1826 the
Revenue collected amounted to 15,0001.—the
amount of the salaries of officers employed in the
collection amounted to 6,250/., so that a sum of
between 8,0001. and 9,0001. only was paid into the
Exchequer of the Colony. And how is it that the
collection of the Revenue costs so much ? Because
it is necessary to find situations for gentlemen
possessed of Parliamentary influence in this country.
The Collector of the Customs receives 2,000/, and
the Comptroller 1,000/., while the salary of the
Chief Justice is only 850/. When gentlemen of
consequence condescend to take situations in such
places as Nova Scotia, suitable incomes must be
provided for them. It is not the value of the work
done which is considered, but the value of the
workman. In this way the Colonies are made to
appear exceedingly expensive, while in reality the
whole of the expense is caused by Government ap-
pointing men large salaries to fill offices in the
Colonies for purposes connected with our own Par-
liamentary system. In Jamaica, and in some of the
other West India Islands, possessed of Assemblies,
there has been long battling about the salaries of
the Officers of Customs, &c. imposed by Govern-
ment on them, the colonists contending that there
is np proportion between the value of the service
and the reward. Hence the dislike to Colonial As-
semblies, and the disposition to govern all the con-
quered Colonies according to an arbitrary system :
" The whole of the sums expended in Nova Scotia (ob-
served Mr. Hume) under the present circumstances, were
expended in the maintenance of a system of misrule, by
which the people suffered. It bad been stated to him,
' that if the Colony appointed its own establishments, they
would give the Collector of the Customs only 5001., and
the Comptroller only 3001. a year ; and that if they were
but allowed to manage their own affairs, they would make
a similar reduction in all the other establishments of the
colony."
The idea of a colony not being equal to its own
civil expenditure involves an absurdity. It must be
a strange employment of industry, which will not
afford as much as shall protect the society from the
aggressions of each other. We make ourselves re-
sponsible for their defence against foreign aggres-
sion, or rather, we use these colonies as stations for

ships, and as depots for troops ; and it would be
hardly fair to charge the inhabitants with this part
of the expenditure, which is required only for
British objects. But it is quite different with the
Civil Establishments. These are Colonial objects,
and the expenditure ought in no case in an old Co-
lony to exceed the revenue. A gentleman with an
estate of 500/. a-year ma) find a steward who
would consent to receive a. salary of 400/. a-vear ;
but the gentleman would be laughed at if he did not
place his establishment on a scale suited to his in-
come. In our Colonies the revenue ought to be
considered as the reward of offices, and not the no-
tions prevalent in England. But Prince Edward's
Island is infinitely a more scandalous affair than
Nova Scotia. There an Ex-Governor had been
pensioned off at the rate of 500/. a year on certain
quit rents, which quit rents never had an existence,
so that the pension might as well have been at once
placed among our superannuations. The reason
why there arc no quit rents is, that there are no
people; but though people are wanting, there is a
Governor with a salary of 1,5001. a year, a Chief
Justice with 1,9001. a year, and an Attorney-Gene•
ral. What a mockery ! It was well said some years
ago, by a clever writer in the Edinburgh Review,
that whenever a rock could be discoVered in the
ocean, large enough to hold a British. garrison, it
was eagerly occupied, that a preteV might be ob-
tained for keeping up an expensive establishment at
the expence of the people of England.—Morn.Chron.
The many urgent complaints made of the vexa-
tious prosecutions set on foot by the Stamp Office
will, it is hoped, be put an end to under the new
Stamp Bill now in progress through Parliament.
It is not to be endured that honest tradesmen, and
others who have no disposition whatever to evade
the laws, should be entrapped into offences against
them by a set of needy unprincipled vagabonds,
who infest the metropolis in the c.ipacity of in-
formers. No sooner do these men get hold of some
article that, amidst the vagueness and complexity of
the Stamp Acts, can, by some stretch of construc-
tion, be brought within them, than they forthwith
sally forth in parties, each taking its particular beat,
and in a few days not less than three or four hundred,
informations are laid at the Stamp Office, and an
equal number of Exchequer Writs issued by the
Solicitor. A few who have too much spirit to sub-
mit to such unwarrantable proceedings stand out,
and refuse to compromise, and these are permitted
to escape because the informers, knowing well that
they should fail of success if the parties came into
Court and defended the prosecution, drop it at once;
and knowing also that there is a good harvest to be
reaped from the great majority, who, not liking to
have their names coupled with a revenue prosecu-
and aware, moreover, that even a verdict in

their favour against the Crown would be attended
with a very heavy cost, embrace the offer of com-
promise in the first instance, and pay down the sum
extorted from their fears, or from their prudence,
conceiving the first loss the best. This most dis-
graceful system has been practised, we have reason
to know, to a great extent, and cries loudly for a
stop to be put to it. As far as the Stamp revenue
is concerned, the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry
deserve no thanks from the public for the dissolution
of the late Board. It is but within these two or
three years last past that we have had public meet-
ings and petitions to Parliament to seek redress
against what Mr. Hume very justly called " the
Stamp Office persecutions." We trust we shall
hear no more of then-I.—Morning Chronicle.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at a quarter past Five o'clock.
Sir A. GRANT, Mr. H. 13ATLE4, and others brought
up the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, and a Private Bill.
Petitions were presented by the Marquis of Ormonde,
from Killkenny, against the increase of taxation in Ir land ;
by Lord Hardwicke, from Royston, against the punish-
ment of death in case of forgery ; by Lord Teynham, from
a parish in Sussex, against the Malt and Beer Duties; by

the Earl of Limerick, from the Chamber of Commerce of
Limerick, against the proposed increase of Duties on Spirits
in Ireland ; by Lord Lorton, from Cornwall, against the
punishment of death in cases of forgery; by Lord Shed-
mersdale, from an Individual residing at Liverpool, for
a law to prevent the payment of labourers' wages
wages in public-houses: on Saturdays ; by Lord Fal.
mouth, from Truro, against the punishment of death
for forgery ; by Lord Holland, from the Protestant Dis-
sentars of Uxbridge, Maidenhead, Sudbury, and ceveral
other places, to the same effect. The Noble Lord ob-
served, that he most heartily concurred with the praye
of these petitions. By the Bishop of London, from
Bury St. Edmund's, to the same effect ; by the
Duke of Richmond, from the wool-growers of Suffolk.
The Noble Duke at the same time gave notice that
he should not bring on any subject this Session. In doing
so he must not be understood as thinking the wool-grow-
ers were not entitled to relief—no set of men more so ; for
he formerly believed the agricultural interests of this coun-
try were rapidly hastening to decay ; the Marquis of Lon-
donderry from the city of Londonder6r, against the pro-
posed duties on stamps.

praying that no officers of the Elfish army should's,
punishment for not assisting in the eremonies ofthat
religie t;
When he presented a similar one lam persons who had been
dismissed the army for refusing to assist in such cere- •
monies at Malta, the Learned 'Umber for Clare did him-
self great credit in supporting th(prayer of that petition.
Mr. O'CONNELL did not tlink it very decorous is
applying the term idolatrous to conscientious Christians,
who would prefer death rather titan be compelled to wor-
ship any person or thing besides the one only living God.
The want of charity, however, on the part of the peti-
tioners should not cause him to nverve from the principle
that it was unjust that any hunan being should suffer
from any conscientious feelings.—(Hear.)
Lord KILLEEN fully concurred in the opinions and
feelings of his Learned Friend, when he was a petitioner at
the liar of that House for liberty of conscience, for him-
self, he always professed his conviction that no person
should suffer for his conscientious worship of God, and
from that principle lie would rover depart.—(Hear.)
