EVENING S

RicE.—Tbis afternoon there was very little de mold for Den-
2:a I, and a very small proportion only of 2,600 bagp 300 packet:
offered at public sale was disposed of, mid to good white at 11 s
to I2s 6d, and erd at lOs to lOs 6d, Which is about: 6d nneer the
prPv ions value.

TALLOW.—The demand for Russian Tallow has continued
dull throughout the week, and the tendency of prices is still
downward ; sales have been made on the spot at 4 & and 4Ss
3d, and the latter price is now with difficulty obtained. For
forward delivery there appears to be very little inclination to
purchase, and the price is almost nominal at 48s per cwt, de-
liverable up to the end of the year.
This afternoon there was very little business done in Russian
Tallow, and no further alteration took place in prices ;
Candle 48e to 48a 3d per cwt.
OILS.—The demand for common Fish Oils continues steady,
and prices are firmly maintained, with a prospect of higher
rates for pale Seal, owing to scarcity, holders now ask 351 103
to 361 per tun. Sales have been made in Southern Whale
Oil of first quality at 311 per tun.—ln Sperm Oil there is not
much business doing, but prices are steadily maintained : 11.51
is the nearest price for fine quality of British fishing.—Linseed
Oil has gone off steadily both for home use and export, at about
31s 6d per cwt, at which price the crushers are firm. Rape
Oil very scarce, and orders are with difficulty executed, even at
stiffer prices. Olive Oil still looking up, and in good request.

LONDON :
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1641.

One of the most effective blows which Sir
ROBERT PEEL gave to the late Ministers on
Friday evening, which told in the House, and
will tell in the country, was borrowed from their
colonial expenditure. Said Sir ROBERT—

"I do not hesitate to tell the Noble Lord that I look
with alarm to the growing tendency to an increased ex-
penditure in our colonial possessions. I have here be-
fore me a paper which declares the necessity of taking a
comprehensive view of the civil expenses to be incurred
in the island of Hongkong. Well, then, here he wants
9,00(1. for the present year ; but he hopes the Govern-
mtnt will see the necessity of large and comprehensive
views on the foundation of the new colony. As to New
South Wales, I have read a despatch dated in January,
1841, from Sir George Gipps, in which he stated that he
had issued a great number of bounty warrants—no less
than to 71,315 emigrants, the estimate for which amounts

to—what do you think ? Why, to no less then 079,56/.
—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord had most wisely put
an end to the system ; but, do what we will, a sum of
not less than 500,0001. will be left to be provided for in
some way or another. As to South Australia„ such was
the desperate condition of that colony, that even last
year we voted 155,0001. for extricating it from difficulty;
and since the Noble Lord quitted office bills to the
amount of 14.0001. have been presented and protested by
the British Treasury ; and, n.(iin the dates, I feel con-
vinced that mere are now on the way home, and they
also will be protested, but it:uch fear that we will be
obliged to pay both the bills ancl the expense of the pro-
test. I now come to New Zealand, and it appears that
bills to the amonnt of 33,00C1. have been drawn by the
Bank of New Zealand upon New South Wales.—
(Hear, and a laugh.) Don't flatter yourselves that
this is all, for there is an indication that there are bills
to the amount of 54,0001. additional on their way.—
(Hear, hear.) Now I come to Canada, for which the
estimate of last year was 600,0001. ; but since the Budget
was brought forward the credit of this country has been
guaranteed for a loan to Canada to the amount of
1,500,000/. I an_ not questioning the policy of that
step ; but here it. a new engagement which this country
has contracted. You have, in addition, guaranteed an
expenditure of 100,000/. a-year for fortifications"
Having always objected to the extension of
the operations of Government, and to the em-
ployment of the public funds for anything but
for the strictest public purposes, and only then
when required by necessity, we can but applaud
every attack on wasteful expenditure. Coming
from the Tories it is an unusual homage to eco-
nomy. At the same time it seems adverse to Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S general principles to find him
condemning unnecessary expenditure. He
adopted Mr. HUME'S principles when they
served to injure the Whigs, who may from that
learn how little they can hope from the gra-
titude of the Tories. Extravagance in public
expenditure is of Tory origin—is consistent with
Tory principles—and is supported by those who,
in their hearts, are Tories.
Certainly, there appears in the miscellaneous
estimates for the years 1841 and 1842, which on
the whole amount to 3,269,583/., much matter
for remark and regret. Directing attention to a
few of the items, we must irup-ress on the public the
impossibility ofboth decreasingthe expenditure of
Government and increasing the sphere of its
operations. They areincompatible, and the only
way to make the Government economical is to
make it do less. On this point the Doctrinaire
Radicals have been very obnoxious to censure,
for they have continually called on the Govern-
ment. to do this-aad chtthe other, and have very
much increased its troublesomeness and expen_

sivem!ss •
Colts ideriog., the straitened circumstances of
the
, the complete destitution, in fact, of
pe
classes— we are bound to observe, that
many
not or .e six
pence
of the public money should now
be em ployed for any
purpose whatever which
can b a avoided, and that every sixpence of' taxa-
tion a hich can be spared ought to be remitted to
the people. It is not yet too late for the Liberals
in thee House of Commons to mark their opinion
on t pis point by resisting someof the votes on the
though framed by the
misckflaneous estimates,
late Ministers; and it is certainly not too late
for 3ir ROBERT PEEL to WI.I the approbation of
all right-thinking men, and particularly of
the suffering multitudes, by
at once curtailing
much of the expense provided for in the esti-
mates of the miscellaneous services for the year
Tor example, Mr. WILLIAMS, ofCoventry, we
kr.ow, will object, and we should think he will
b e backed by the bulk of the Liberals—no longer
doomed to silence by any fear of injuring- the
Whigs or ofending a patriotic QUEEN—to the
sum of 51,::54/• yet to be voted for PUBLIC
BUILDINGS and ROYAL PALACES, the whole vote
for the year, under this lead, being no less than
103,309/.09,2431. more than the sum voted in
1839, and 14,6001. more than the sum voted for
the same purpose in 1840. Of the whole sum of
49,5671. is to be expended on PALACES and
ROYAL BUILDINGS. We beg to state explicitly,
whether it concern Sir R. PEEL, or the Whigs
or her MAJESTY herself, that while the people
are starving Royal Palaces must remain unre-
paired and unembellished.
We are no enemies to the increase of know-
ledge, but we hold with COBBETT that it is better
Mille people should be well fed than much in-
red. It has been, we are aware, the work
Liberals to demand public money for schools,
museums, public Walks, Ste., &C, Nevertheless,
in the present embarrassed state of the finances,
