hug the f,eneral principles he had hid down, and on which
there was no dispute between himself and Hon. Gentlemen on
the other side, he contended that there were certain manufac-
tures which most be taken out of the range and form an
exception to the general principle of commerce ;
he said that at the present time and under
xisting circumstances, as he should say with retrard
to the infancy of any manufacture which they might
deem it expedient to foster and encourage by a higher
range' of protective duties. He contended, that on the ground
of analogy, the sugar trade did, for t present, require to be
taken out of the range of ordinary coffimercial rules, and that,
for the present, they should substitute prohibition for the ge-
neral doctrine of protection. The Right Hon. Gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had recommended the measure to
notice, because it would augment the revenue without injuring
their colonial interests. The Noble Lord the Secretary for the
Colonies said it would be an amazing boon, and a vast reduction
to the poor consumer ; and in the next breath he told them,
coming to figures and calculations, that the reduction would
amount to Is. 6d. per cwt., or something less than half a far-
thing a pound. The Right Hon. Gentleman the President of
the Board of Trade said, that it would foster and en-
courage
the trade with the Brazils, and give no en-
couragement to the slave trade. (Hear, hear, hear )
And when they were told that the commerce of Great Britain
must he a great encouragement to the slave trade and slavery,
the Right Hon. Gentleman said, " Well, but you do at present
carry on the commerce with Brazil--you take their sugar and
their exports, and do at present give encouragement to slavery
and the slave trade." If this were so—if we did now, by
taking their sugar, give encouragement to slavery and the slave
trade, no more encouragement was to be given to it by the
measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he (Lord Stan-
ley) should like to know where was the boon conferred on the
country by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and by
which he was to obtain a great revenue.—(Cheers.) He
wished that thp Chancellor of the Exchequer hnd been more
communicative, and had stated on what principle he calculated
to obtain it. It must be on one of the two following principles,
either by a large increase of consumption beyond the productive
power of British or colonial industry, or, the consumption re-
maining the same, to obtain a surplus by the substitution of a
higher duty for colonial sugar. The Hon. Member for Hali-

fax last night, suffering under the silence of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, desired to give an explanation for him, and
said that when sugar fell to 58s. or 595., if the consumption
was in proportion to the population, as it was in 1830, there
would be an increase of consumption of colonial sugar to the
amount of 900,000 tong. But if they had it so it would not
be by the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
but by what his Right Hon Friend the Member for Cam-
bridge was taunted with last night for defending, namely, by
trusting to the increase of colonial production for increasing
the revenue.—( Hear, hear.) He did not know whether the
Right Hon. Gentleman calculated on any vast increase of con-
sumption beyond the probable increase of the East and West

Indies. Did the Right Hon. Gentleman calculate upon it?
He made no sign.—(Laughter.) He (Lord Stanley) was
therefore obliged to trouble the House with a small number of
figures, because he was obliged to conjecture the mode by
which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to raise his
supplies. His Hon. Friend the Member for Halifax had
told them that at 5Ss. or .595. the consumption
ought to increase to 220,000 tons. He (Lord Stanley)
had looked back to see what was the case in former years.
The Noble Lord, the Secretary far the Colonies, had esti-
mated the probable price of the present year at 605., and
at that price he presumed but little Brazilian sugar would
be imported. At 595. 2(1. the average consumption for four
years, commencing in 1821, was 158,000 tons ; in the four

years succeeding -1826, at a duty of 58s. Bd., the average
consumption was 14,000,000 cwt., or 175,700 tons ; in the
' year succeeding 1831, when the duty was 575. 7d., the con-
sumption amounted to 183,374 tons. In the years 1807 and
1838, in which he concluded they did not estimate any mate-
rial increase in the population as bearing upon the consump-
tion, the duty was 58s. Id., and the average consumption for
the two years was 196,611 tons. He would assume, then, that
the price fell below what the Noble Lord had said.
He would assume that it had fallen to 575. duty
paid, and he asked the House whether they had
not, from facts and figures, reason at that price to es-
timate 195,000 or 200,000 tons of sugar in the course of the
present year ? Was there any ground to represent the pro-
duction of the British colonies as not likely to exceed that
amount ? He had not heard that position disputed by any
one except the Hon. Member for Carlow (Mr. Gisborne). The
Hon. Member said they could not calculate on more than
26,700 tons as the produce of the Mauritius ; but he (Lord
Stanley) had that day read a letter from that colony, dated
January 13, 1841, from a gentleman well known to her Ma-
jesty's Government, Mr. Aiken, of Liverpool, and which
stated that 20,000 tons were exported up to that
day, and that it was expected there would be about
the same quantity to export. This was written be-
fore any person knew of the present plan of the Government,
even if the Government were aware of it themselves. The
Hon. Member for Carlow even doubted if the West Indies
could furnish more than 115,000 tons. Why, 110,000 tons
came from the West Indies in the course of the last year.—
( Hear, hear.) That might be an incredible fact to the
Hon. Member, but it was a fact, and there was every reason to
believe that the present crop would exceed the very deficient
crop of last year. The Hon. Member also said that we never
had from the East Indies more than 26,000 tons, but it ad-
peared by Cook's Circular that they had shipped from Calcutta
on the lst January 58,300 tons, that the crop was 60,000 tons,
of which 50,000 tons had arrived. Here then was
50,000 tons received without dispute.---( Loud cheers. )
The Hon. Member for Athlone (Mr. J. O'Connell) said
that 6,000 tons of sugar might be exported this year from
China, and expatiated on the advantages that would accrue to
oar merchants from a commercial intercousse with the people
of that vast empire, which was so free and unshackled.—
( Loud laughter.) He (Lord Stanley) considered for a long•
time what the Hon. Gentleman meant, but at last he supposed
that the Hon. Gentleman had made a mistrake, and mentioned
China instead of Cochin-China. It was true that from Co-
chin-China and from Manilla we would obtain a supply of
sugar, as we always did. There were 115,000 tons of sugar
imported from the West Indies, from the Mauritius 145,000,
and from the East Indies from 60,000 to 70,000 tons ; and
there were, besibes, 35,000 tons in bond. In all there were
from 240,000 to 260,000 tons, whereas the annual consumption
did not, in all probability eweeed 200,000 tons. But to return
to the proposal of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, ho could not expect much from the
additional duties upon foreign sugar, over and above the
supply of colonial sugar, which was inadequate to meet
the demand in the market. By substituting for Bri-
tish free grown sugar foreign slave grown sugar,
in the market, in order to make his (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's) estimate complete that Right Hon. Gentleman
should admit 11,000 cwt. of foreign sugar into the British
market, to the exclusion of that amount of British colonial
sugar. The House and the country had a right to know
upon which of those propositions it was that the Right Hon.
Gentleman founded the financial calculations which he had
stated to the House—( Opposition cheers)—or he was in this
dilemma, either his financial projects would fail, and he
would inflict no injury on the British producer, or if his
projects succeeded, and he obtained his revenue, he inflicted
a serious injury upon the colonial growers of free labour
sugar, and conferred a large and extensive benefit on the pro-
ducers of slave-grown sugar.—( Hear, hear.) The Right
Hon. Gentleman might take which alternative he pleased, but
both advantages he could not obtain. But, supposing the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a miscalculation ?—and
there were some ominous words which fell on last evening from
the Judge-Advocate with regard to 60s. being the highest price.
That Right Hon. Gentleman ( The Judge-Advocate) was of
opinion that Brazil sugars might come down to 575. or 58s.
Why, the calculation of those few shillings was of great conse-
quence as far as regarded the competition of foreign
and colonial sugar in the market. The colonial sugar,
at however unfavourable a price, must meet the
foreign sugar in the market of this country, because here it
would be brought into the market at a less loss than into any
other market of Europe. He believed that the country was not
prepared at the present moment, and under the present circum-
stances, to take a step of the nature proposed by her
Majesty's Government. He said at the present time, and under
the present circumstances, because they were the progress of
a most important experiment—an experiment, on the success
of which the lives and happiness of hundreds of millions were
concerned—an experiment in which foreign nations were
ready—perhaps not ready enough—to imitate their example if
they succeeded, but ready to scorn their folly, and profit by
their failure, if by their mismagement that great experiment
should fail. —( Cheers. ) He said at this moment, and under
the present circumstances, though however high and important
he might view this question as connected with slavery and the
slave trade, it could not place it so high as it had been placed
by his Hon. Friend the Member for the University of Oxford
(Sir Robert Inglis). He could not place it so
high as it had been placed last year by the Hon. and Learned
Member for Dublin, whom he (Lord Stanley) heard intended,
in the course of the present debate, to support the views of her
Majesty's Government.—(Hear, hear.) He listened with
some surprise when the Hon. and Learned Gentleman spoke
of an amendment in Committee to carry into effect that which
he (Mr. O'Connell) must have known to be impracticable.
The resolution of which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
had given notice, was one for limiting the supply of foreign
sugar to that which was exclusively free-grown, so as to keep
out all slave-grown sugar. The Noble Lord here proceeded
to read an extract from a speech of the Hon. and Learned
Member for Dublin, delivered in June last, on this subject,
when a measure similar to that of her Majesty's Government was
moved by the Hon. Member for Wigan, and which was opposed
by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, and accused that
Hon. and Learned Gentleman of great inconsistency in the
course that he intended to adopt on the present occasion.
What would the English people think of a man who
could thus deliver a speech last year against a
measure, and afterwards vote for the self -same
measure when introduced by her Majesty's Government? He
(Lord Stanley) did not quarrel with the Government for any
change which had taken place in their minds on this subject.
He could see no ground for such change except the difficulties
and embarrassments in which they had plunged the financial
affairs of the country, and from which they knew nut how to
extricate themselves. He could see no ground but that on which
they should take a different ground from what they held last year.
The price of sugar was then 575. ; it was now but 375. When,
however, the price was at its highest the British consumer
did not wish to purchase a slight relaxation by giving addi-
tional facilities and encouragement to the slave trade ; but
much less would the people of England, whatever the Govern-
ment might do, without any necessity and without pressure, now
consent to sacrifice that great cause, which was emphatically
not the cause of Lord Grey's or of any other Government, but
the cause of the people of these united realms.—( Hear, hear. )
He would net pace the question of slavery so high as it had
been placed by his Hon. Friend the Member for the Univer-
sity of Oxford or the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin ;

and he would not say that we should not admit under

any circumstances slave produce. Much indignation
hal been expressed 'on the other side of the House.
because h;s Noble Friend the Member for Liverpool had
brought forward a resolution containing a plain, practical,
common-sense view of the question, and because he had not
embarrassed himself or those who supported him on the sub-
ject itself, by asserting extreme and absolute opinions which,
as a man of sense, and an inhabitant of this country; he
could not hope to see carried into effect. The accusation,
however, appeared to him ( Lord Stanley) most unmerited.
If they were never under any circumstances to purchase
slave productions they should insulate themselves from the
whole world, because there was not a single article of prime
necessity and general consumption which did not in some
way or other, directly or indirectly, connect itself with slavery.
If they had laid down such a doctrine he could easily conceive that
it would be very convenient for Hon. Gentlemen opposite to have
the advantage of showing the absurdity of such a proposition,
and under cover of that abstract principle to shrink from the
discussion of the practical measure before them. But while

he did not adopt such an abstract and impracticable principle,
a principle which no man of sense could desire to carry into
effect in this country, he might be permitted to express a strong
opinion that he should view with extreme regret, and that the
House ought to deprecate as a great misfortune, and avoid as a
great national calamity, unnecessarily and without the pressure
of a vital necessity overwhelming all considerations except those
of national interest and national existence, withoutsucha neces-
sity he should view with extreme regret a determination
taken by this country deliberately to follow the course re-
commended by the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, who told
them that in the whole transaction, so far as they were concerned,
they had nothing farther to do in the cause of the abolition of
slavery—that we hid taken the guilt from our own shoulders,
and that the matter on our parts was at an end• He repudiated

altogether such a principle—they had performed their parts in
a manner which could not be too highly valued; but they could
not abandon the cause which they had undertaken. And least
of all could he ( Lord Stanley) who had been the organ of
Lord Grey's Government on the occasion, and had introduced
that great measure of policy, of justice, and humanity, the
Emancipation Act—least of all would it become him to con-
sent to a proposition which would render their experiment a
lamentable failure in the eyes of the world, and which should
rivet on the present slaves, and on generation& yet unborn, to
be dragged into captivity, in consequence of their failure, the
horrors of slavery in its most aggray.te,d and its most odious
form.—( Cheers.) Hon. Gentlemen opposite had told them
that they already gave an indirect encouragement to slavery
in the Brazils, by permitting slave-grown sugar to be refined
in this country ; but it should be remembered that
they, by the proposed measure, would greatly add
to that encouragement, which he, for one, would not
consent to do for the purpose of patching up the Budget of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But besides, by allowing
slave sugar to be refined in this country, and afterwards sold
in other markets, they did not really. give any encourage-
ment to slave labour which it would not otherwise receive ;
for if it were not refined here, it would he refined in Hol-
land and elsewhere. And, in addition, by permitting its sale in
England they would offer it a new and most valuable market,
and would give a further stimulus by its production. It was
said, however, that they now imported slave-grown coffee and
slave-grown cotton into this country; but let him tell them,
that if they encouraged the production of slave-grown
cotton and slave-grown coffee instead of sugar, they
would still contribute much to the diminution of the
horrors of slavery, if not to the abolition of, the slave trade.
Coffee and cotton were articles requiring little capital and
little exertion for thoir production, and, above all, not con-
tinuous exertion capable of being produced by free men and
in the production of which free labour might enter into favoura-
ble competition with slave labour, while it was impossible, ex-
cept strider the most favourable circumstances, that, in the
production of sugar, free labour could successfully compete
with slave labour ; therefore, if they could by any means en-
courage the cultivation of coffee and of cotton, to the exclu-
sion of sugar, they would be so far encouraging the repression
of the slave-trade, and the abolition of slavery. Under these
circumstances he considered it especially undesirable to interfere
with the great experiment now going on in the West Indies.
What was the present condition of the negro population ? It
was impossible for any one to have listened with any feelings
but those of the highest satisfaction to the details which the
Noble Lord had given the other evening of the thriving con-
dition of the negroes in our West India colonies. Hitherto
that groat experiment had succeeded beyond the expectations
of its most sanguine advocates. The Noble Lord said that the
negroes were beginning to acquire property, that marriages
were increasing, that population was increasing—a most impor-
tant element of future prosperity, if they would but have pa-
tience—that in Jamaica alone 90,000 negroes were working
in the cultivation of sugar and dividing among them wages
amounting annually to 1,750,000/. He would ask the Noble
Lord if he was prepared to break in upon all that prosperity?
To what did the negroes owe the possession of this property
except to the encouragement given to the export of a staple pro-
duct from the West Indies? He would say nothing of the sa-
crifice of the hundred millions of capital invested in machinery
in our West India Colonies—(Cheers)—he would say nothing
of the sacrifice of twenty millions--( Cheers) he would say no-
thing of the utter ruin which must inevitably fall upon all our
fellow-subjects holding estates and property in the West Indies
—but he would say, lookat the condition of the negroes them-
selves, and he would ask if, when they were acquiring habits
of honest industry, of working for wages, wages depending upon
the export of a staple commodity frordlhat country, were they
prepared, by encouraging a competition with the slave-grown
sugar of other regions, to deprive the negro of his wages at the
moment that he had learnt to depend upon his own exertions ?
—(Loud cheers.) His Right Hon. Friend had spoken of
mercantile distress. Far be it from him to deny its existence,
or to attempt to lessen the effect whioh had
been produced by the speech of his Right Hon. Friend ;
far be it from him to interpose between her Majesty's Go-
vernment and any new channels which they might propose to
open in our manufacturing industry. But let his Right Hon.
Friend consider, if he were conferring a great advantage on our
manufactures.lf while opening one new channel he was dam-
ming up all the old streams, and depriving them of amarket,
not dependent upon the caprices of other nations, not to be
taken from us by war, but dependent entirely upon ourselves,
and which while it furthered the presperity of the colonies,
furthered the prosperity of the mother country also.—(Cheers. )
His Right Hon. Friend had talked of the vast rivers of South
America. Would he turn his eye to the other side of the globe,
and look at the vast country containing millions of
British subjects ; at the fertile valley of the Ganges, the re.
sources of which were incalculable; at the new inlet which had
been opened by the Indus, enabling us to approach the markets
of Central Asia teeming with population, and which already
imported a larger quantity of our manufactures than went to
the Brazils, which was capable of receiving any amount of our
produce, and only wanted a remittance to make a
return, That remittance they could , make in sugar,
the Cheapest and the only remittance they could
wake—(Loud cheers)—and at the moment when Bri-
tish capital had been embarked in the great field
of mercantile speculation—at the moment when it was
known that an inexhaustible supply of sugar could be
hail from those regions, would they take that moment to de-
prive our manufacturers of the benefit of the Indian markets by
opening the markets for Brazilian sugar, when they knew that
sugar was the only article that India could grow return ?He
gave his Right lion. Friend credit yor the ability with which
he bad 'brought forward his- statement, and also
for that which had produced a great effect upon
the House, that obvious air of sincerity with which
Iv
he had made it.—(Cheers.) He a:, firmly convlnced that his
Right Hon. Friend believed his view to be the right one, but
he (Lord Stanley) believed it to be a one-sided view, and was
not prepared to run the slightest risk' of ruining our trade with
the %Vest Indies, of disturbing and ultimately destroying
that with the Nast Indies, for the advantages which
the Right Honourable Gentleman bought might accrue. lie
did not deny the financial difficulties of the country,
but he did deny that our resources were failing. Although
we had an annually increasing deficit, we had an annually in-
creasing revenue ; and when they talked of commercial dis-
tress, he would direct their attention to the state of affairs

in America, and ask if the recently threatened interruption of
our pacific relations with that one great customer, must not
have the effect of producing commercial embarrasment ? Ile
would also refer to the state of affairs in the East, and in Syria
and India, to the three millions loss sustained by the seizure of
opium in China,—to the state of our relations with that coun-
try ; and ask the country if they did not .see some reason for
the interruption of commercial activity, and for that state of
commercial langour which at present prevailed. But that was
no reason for despondency—(Cheers.) He did not despair of
the finances of the country under a due, a prudent, and
a proper administration of them.—( Ilear, kear, hear. )
When he looked at the state of the revenue for the last five
years, and found that though it had increased from 48 millions
to 50 millions, there was a deficiency in the last of those years of
2,400,000; when he saw, moreover, that for five continuous
years there had been a gradually accumulating deficiency,
after a gradually increasing revenue, the deficiency amounting
at the end of those five years to seven millions ; when he saw,
too, that a great portion of that deficiency in the present year
was to be accounted for by the expenditure incurred on ac-
count of Canada and China; when he saw that a moment of
great financial difficulty was the time which her Majesty's Go-
vernment had selected for taking off a tax which produced,
without injury or pressure upon the people, 1,600,0001.
( Hear, hear)—when he saw that ,in these three items he
could trace the whole amount of deficiency in the present
year, he might be excused if he entertained some doubts of
the ability of those who had involved them in that difficulty.
His Hon. Friend the Member for Halifax had said that what-
ever might be the issue of these debates the seed was sown
which would produce its fruit in due time.—(Cheers from the
Liberal benches.) lie (Lord Stanley) found that the seed was
sown and would produce bitter fruit, and he deeply regretted
that at a moment when the Government felt themselves totter-
ing to their fall—( Cheers from the Conservatives)—when they
saw, he would not say county by county but borough by bo-
rough, their hold upon the country gradually dropping away—
at a time when the common sense, of the country proclaimed
that they could no longer hold the reins of office as they bad
long ceased to hold the reins of power—( Loud cheers from
the Tory benches)—he deeply regretted tl,at that should be
the time chosen by her Majesty's Government for throwing loose
upon the country a crude and undigested scheme involving the
most extensive financial changes, deeply affecting every interest
in the country, and paralyzing for the time all speculations in
trade and all activity in commerce, and all this under a full
conviction that it was impossible that they should be able 'to
carry that project into effect. The Hon. Member for Carlow
had produced the authority of his Right Hon. Friend, in a
speech delivered in 1833, to show that on the mere announce-
ment of a great financial measure ,by her Majesty's Govern-
ment it was all but carried by the proposal, and in the end
was certain of success. The principle thus laid down by his
Right lion. Friend was, as far as Parliamentary experience had
then gone, perfectly true ; but they had profited by experience
since that time, and the ultimate adoption of measures so pro-
posed was now by no means so certain as it had been in
former days. And not only had the House learnt that lesson,
but the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural community
had learnt it too. He held in; his hand a very matter
of fact paper, the Price Current of Liverpool of the 11th May,
1841, signed by two gentlemen, one a Conservative, and the
other a Whig ; and at the end of that paper there was the fol-
lowing note :—" Since the development of the Ministerial plan,
the bare allusion to which excited such a panic in the trade,
the market has been much calmer, from a conviction that no
such project can be carried."—(Loud cheers from the Conser-
vative benches.) The proposition of her Majesty's Go-
vernment was here evidently looked upon as waste
paper which was not worth speoulating upon. An Hon.
Gentleman; who had attended that evening to the interests
of the Irish corn-growers, had. expressed his intention to
vote with her Majesty's Government, on that question. What ,
was the opinion of the merchants of Liverpool as to the
effect of a duty of Bs. ? Why that whatever difference might
exist as to the degree of protection requisite either for Eng-
land or Scotland, there could be.no difference in the minds of
persons connected with Irish corn, for that there could be
no doubt that the foreign grain would be inferior to the Irish,
by the amount of the duty.—(Hear, hear.) He would repeat
his deep regret at the course pursued by her Majesty's Go-
vernment on this occasion. He agreed that the seed which
had now been sown would produce its fruit; but he feared
that it would he the fruit of bitter animosity between the con-
tending classes; he feared that it would aggravate those jea-
lousies and rivalries between the agricultural and manufac-
turing interests, which every former Government had sought
rather to smooth and to heal than to aggravate.—( Cheers. )
He feared that her Majesty's Government, while they were seek-
ing a popularity which they could not find—,(Cheers from the
Tories )—were endeavouring to enroll upon their banners the
the fatal and revolutionary doctrine of numbers against pro-
perty—( Cheers)—and he would tell Hon. Gentlemen opposite
that he could conceive no responsibility deeper than that of a
Government who in the plenitude of its power should aggra-
vate dissensions of this kind between great bodies and classes
of her Majesty's subjects. But the responsibility was fearfully
increased, when the measure which was to add to this effect
was brought forward by an. Administration which was
already tottering to its fall ; and when, as the Honour-
able Gentleman, the Under-Secretary for the Colonies,
be told them that night, the principles which they were then
introducing, the scheme which they were then throwing before 1
the country, must for many long years be the subject of keen
and angry and ruthless contention.—(Loud cheers.)
On the motion of Mr. SMITH
,O'BRIEN, the debate was
then adjourned to to-morrow night.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House Adjourned at One o'Clock.

MR. BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONET-
AGE or THE UNITED Ithionom. —A seventh edition of this
work, which has so long been considered an unrivalled autho-
rity for information respecting every individual belonging to
the titled classes of this country, is announced for appear-
ance next week. Besides a variety of other new particulars of
the most authentic and interesting character, obtained by the
most strenuous efforts and the most vigilant research, the
author has now added full details of the families and armorial
bearings of the Crowned heads of Europe, showing that many
are allied in blood or connected by marriage with our own Royal
Family. This work will therefore becoms, from the present
time, not only a complete book of reference for the history of
every distinguished family in Great Britain, but also possess
new interest throughout all Europe, where, as in England, it
will be found an indispensable companion in every library.

THE LATE DREAL.tuA., COLLI.-

SION AT SEA.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, OTHER

VALUABLE CARGO, AND EIGHT LIVES LOST.
Information was received yesterday at Liverpool,
that one of the numerous fishing-boats belonging to
the port had fallen in with, and picked up, off the Isle
of Man, seven men, who had been upwards of twenty-
fours in a jolly-boat, almost without clothing,, and en-
tirely destitute of any kind of food. On inquiry we
found that the report was correct The mate of the
Mary Scott and six of the crew had escaped in the boat
belonging to that vessel after the collision had taken
place with the Brooklyn, an outward bound vessel to Now
York. It appears that the brig with which the Brooklyn
came in contact was the Mary Scott, inward bound from
Valparaiso, and having a valuable cargo of copper ore, &C.,
together with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in
specie. The mate of the Mary Scott states that the acci-
dent happened at half-past nine or ten o'clock, the light
at Point Lynes being in view. The wind was trom the
land, the brig close-hauled on the starboard tack, and
was just about to alter her course, When the crew saw
the Brooklyn running down free with topgallant sails
set. The brig had two lights on 'the weather bulwark,
just abaft the main rigging, one of 'them being a regular
signal light. The carpenter was steering, and the mate
told him to put the helm hard up, which has done. He
got on the bulwarks, and called to. the Brooklyn people
for God's sake to keep their luff, otherwise the brie.
would he run down ; but they took no notice, and the
Brooklyn, which was going at the rate of about seven
knots an hour, struck the brig just where the lights were
on the starboard side, and passed on without offering
any assiStance.
Captain Sadler, the master of the brig, was severely
hurt by the concussion, and ran about, crying out that
his back was broken ; the carpenter's arm was much in-
jured, and the mate was jammed between the round-
house and the bulwarks by the broken materials of the
brig's starboard quarter. After about live minutes the
mate extricated himself, and found that the mainmast,
tho mainstay, and all the ringing, had been carried
away, and that the brig had five feet water in her
hold. All hands were on deck, and tried to get out
the long-boat, but could not succeed. The Captain
went below, and the mate, seeing that the), were
in a sinking state, ran to him in the cabin, and
said, " Captain Sadler, if you want to save your life,
now is .the time." He replied, " Well, take this box
of specie, and come." The mate took the box, ran
upon deck, but seeing that the brig was going down,
dropped the box, and jumped into the boat, which then
contained seven persons. The other people had the
same chance as himself, but were so frightened they
scarcely knew what they were doing. It was fortunate
for those in- the boat that no more came in, for tlw boat
proved leaky, from the hot weather having opened the
scams Whilst lying over the long-boat.; one of the planks
had been staved by the collision, and had there been a
greater weight in her she could not have lived. They
had no sooner dropped astern than the brig went down.
The wind was very squally, with a heavy sea; and the
mate had to break the case off the chronometer in or-
der to bail the boat of the water and keep them from
being swamped. There was no fresh water and no
bread on board, 'and the mate had nothing but
a white cotton shirt on, having thrown off his clothes
under the- apprehension that he should have to swim.
The weather . continued, very stormy during the next
24 hours, with continual rain, all which time the ship-
wrecked mariners were in _ the boat. They had no
sails, and only two oars. By the morning they had
drifted down to near the Skerries, off Holyhead, and
then kept before the wind in hope of being able to reach
the Isle of Man, passing one of the brig's water
casks on their way. When the colliSion took place
the brig had just taken a reef in her topsails, and hove
up her courses, the Captain remarking that after
they had made all snug he would leave the mate in
charge to dodge slowly up the Channel. Had a good
look-out, or any look-out at all, been kept on board
the Brooklyn, the crew of that vessel must have seen the
lights of the brig ; and had the Brooklyn put her helm
up, which, as the brig had the weather gage, should
have been done, she would have kept clear. The Mary
Scott was from Valparaiso, with a cargo of copper ore
and wool, and 120,000 dollars in „speeie. ,She was 300
tons burthen, and her crew Consisted of the captain
' and mate, eleven men, and two boys. This unfortunate
event, following so closely upon the loss of the Gover-
nor Fenner, and in the continued absence of the steam-
ship President, has excited the most painful feeling
amongst all classes of the inhabitants of Liverpool acid
the neighbourhood who are acquainted with the parti-
culars. The name of the captain of the ship Brooklyn
is Richardson.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIL—OD Friday,

EVENING EDITION:

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
The unexpected occurrence of a dead heat fez.. the first plate
gave a little interest to a list which in other respeaawal one et'
the least attraction ever seen on the first day; the B. M. Plate is
particular, instead of bringing out some Derby nap, had as
entry of eight only, and was looked upon so coldly that scarcely
a dozen Lets were made. The policy of doing away With thirt
meeting altogether, and of appropriating the public money to
the extension of the July Meeting. has been suggests& more
than once, and is not unlikely tube again a subject of disetti-
sion with the members of J. C.
The following are the particula:l recess:4'y to complete our
report sent from the heath :
T. M. M. Plate.—Ramadan and Yaratilda made the run..
ning in company, Audrey waiting till the last moment, when
he made a rush, defeated Yaratilda by nearly a laugh, and
finished with a dead heat with Ramadan. In the deoi heat
Ramadan had it all his own war.
R. M. Plate.—Tauride made play to the T.Y.C. post,
where Nick took the lead from her, and earned on the running
to the bottom ; St. Colomb then made her essay, tired in the
cords, and was passed by Taurida. who won cleverly by a
length ; a capital race for second. The weather was remarta-
bly favourable, but the attendance thin, both Li! number and
fashion.

The following members of the rooms were present :—Duke of
Rutland. Lord Jersey, Lord Godolphin, Lord John Fitzroy,
Sir S. Graham, Hon. General Grosvenor, lion Captain Bons,
Hon. G. Fitzroy, Hon. A. Villiers, Mr. C. and Mrs. Wilson,

S. Stanley. Mr. Hawker, Mr. Powell,o4r. Wigram, Ace.
The betting after the races was very Sat, and beyond an im-
provement in Prince Caradoc and Belgrade lot the Derby, and
Potentia for the Oaks, presented nothing new. It closed as
follows:
