HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER
SPHYNX.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
M OTTISTON, ISLE OF WIGHT, FRIDAY, 7 A.M.—As we anti-
ted on Wednesday, the weather came on thick, and the
W:13). i southward, and though it was almost a calm, with a
In no oth sea off, the heavy ground swell returned, and all hands
'6,er e landed from the Sphynx for the night. Had the fine
area ther continued, she would have been off, as, with the as-
ance of the two steamers, we had moved her some feet out
of her ,berth ; but at high water this day she parted her
then ee cables, swung round as if on a pivot amidships, and
writ r. lies with her stem off and her stern on the shore, much
weal -er in. As the tides are falling off, there is no chance till
nea t spring, if she should hold together so long; all depends
out -the weather—one south-wester, and it is all over. Nearly
an the shipwrights, &c., from Portsmouth Dockyard are
but ing for Cowes—only 16 remaining out of 80. If possible,
bier copper is to be stripped off today. Everything move-
ablt I was thrown overboard on Wednesday, and some fear sha
111: v swing round on the guns or other things, and injure her
Dot tom.

'THREE O'CLOCK.—Another of the bodies have been found.
The wind is from the S.S.W., and a heavy swell, but the ship
Lm • well up on the beach. The captain's lady is better to-

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EV.ENING, JANUARY 23, 1817.

AMENT.

understood that they should not come into operation until
they came again under the review of the Home Govern-
ment.
Mr. HUME wished to ask whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to produce any papers relative
to the branch list?
The Hon. FOX MAULE said he Lad no objection in
about ten days to do so.
NAVIGATION LAWS.
On the motion for the order of the day,
Mr. MITCHELL said he considered that there should
be an extension of the navigation laws, and that any
ship having proved that she had sailed on the Ist of
September, should be admitted into this country.
No vessel coming from Archangel would come into this
country unless such were the case, for under the present
circumstances no merchant from that port would ship for
this country. Let them take the other ports, and they
would find the same would be the case. He thought
that the Noble Lord before the end of the present session
would have to propose an extension of the navigation laws.
He was quite convinced that neither from the Black nor
the White Sea would there be any chance of vessels ar-
riving before the Ist of September, and few would sail
to English ports, unless they had some assurance that
they would be admitted after that date. He would be
glad if the Government would consider the question,
and relax the resolution to some extent.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN said that perhaps before
the Chancellor of the Exchequer answered the questions
of the Hon. Member for Bridport, he (Mr. Stafford
O'Brien) might be permitted to put one having some re-
lation to the same subject. By the Act passed last session
the duty was to be remitted in 1849, or only a nominal
duty of Is. per quarter imposed. Now he wished to
know whether the duty was to be altogether rescinded,
and if so, whether the Government intended to take any
steps to ascertain what quantity of ',corn would be im-
ported into the country?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he would answer the last question first. It was the
intention of the Government to suspend all duty on corn
after September, 1849 ; and the Government still pro-
posed to register the quantity introduced into the ports
to-morrow. With regard to the question of his Hon.
Friend the Member for Bridport, it was the intention
and effect of the Act, that ships must enter the ports of
England before the Ist of September, and this period
was fixed in order to give time to ships load-
ing at the most distant ports to arrive in this
country. Corn imported from the Black Sea,
from the mouths of the Danube and Odessa,
would require only two months to arrive in
this country, and vessels sailing therefore in June
or July would have ample time to arrive
in England before the period referred to in the Act.
His own impression was that a great quantity of corn
exported from the countries he mentioned would start
in the months of May and June to this country, and all
of which might be fairly expected to arrive in this
country before the Ist of September.
The Corn Bill was then forwarded through its re-
maining stages.
On the motion that the Navigation Bill be read a
second time,
Mr. HUME said that it had been his intention to give
notice that he should move that this Bill should be
a general and immediate repeal of these laws, but,
as he understood that his Hon. Friend near him had
given notice that he should:move for a Committee to in-
quire into the navigation laws, he should do so ; and
he trusted that in that Committee all matters with refer-
ence to them would be settled satisfactory.
Dr. BOWRING wished to ascertain if the Govern.
ment had consented to grant that Select Committee?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, whose reply was inaudible,
was understood to answer in the affirmative.
The Bill was then read a second time.
The House then went into Committee on the Naviga-
tion Bill.
The first clause was read and agreed to.
On the second clause being read,
Mr. MITCHELL moved that the words "on and after
the Ist of September" should be omitted, and that
the Act should extend to all vessels which should be
proved to have embarked with their cargo on or before
the Ist of August. The amendment having been put,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that the great object
of Government in proposing the present Bill in sus-
pension of the navigation laws, was to obtain an early
supply of corn. He thought if any alteration were to
be made, it ought to be an earlier day ; he could not,
therefore, support the amendment of the Hon. Member
for Bridport.
Dr. BOWRING thought that the suggestion of the
Hon. Member would tend to give effect to the measures
of her Majesty's Government, and he should therefore
support the amendment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not
wish, at the present moment, to express any general
opinion upon the navigation laws. He was not quite sure
whether it would not be better to take an earlier date.
By the next
.harvest they should get corn in large
quantities, but what they wanted before that
time wat: the greatest possible amount of grain,
and he apprehended by the Ist of September,
the day originally named, they should be enabled
to get into this country great quantities of grain.
Sir C. NAPIER said the statement of the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exehequer was all
very well, but supposing a vessel sailed from Odessa on
the Ist of July, the ordinary passage being two months,
but when it arrived at Gibraltar it encountered a
westerly gale, and was prevented from reaching this
country till the Ist of September, what was to become
of the owner of the ship and his cargo ?
Sir W. CLAY deprecated the plan of affixing a cer-
tain date for the completion of an uncertain operation.
The owners of vessels, although they took all
reasonable means to ensure their arrival here
within the specified period, might, from the
uncertain period occupied in the voyage, be unable
to arrive here within the specified period. The passage
from the Black Sea occupied two months, and before the
corn produced, for instance, in the extreme parts of
Russia, during the ensuing harvest, could be conveyed
to the shores of the Black Sea for importation, the Ist of
September might have passed by. If they passed such
a provision, they would ultimately have to alter it.
Mr. FOSTER complained that the measure did not
go far enough, and considered that the laws
relating to the importation of sugar and mo-
lasses, ought to have been suspended as well
as the laws relating to the importation of corn.
The Noble Lord had proposed the abrogation of the
penalties for using sugar and molasses in breweries, and,
therefore, the course ho (Mr. Foster) proposed
seemed one which ought to hive been adopted, in
order to benefit another portion of the people.
He certainly, therefore, thought that the same principles
which had induced the Government to suspend the
navigation laws with respect to corn would apply with
still greater force to sugar, as far as it was now imported.
Mr. HOWARD DOUGLAS would certainly stre-
nuously oppose any alteration in the navigation laws,
because he thought that these laws were among the
wisest of this country, and they should not be interfered
with, but strictly preserved.
Mr. WM. BROWN said the consequence would be
that, if vessels were allowed to arrive here after the

Ist of September, there 'would be no security
against deception, and he hoped that the Government
would not consent to make laws to deprive them of the
advantages which they at present enjoyed under certain
regulations.

Mr. BARING said, gentlemen were not aware that in
all these cases there was a discretionary power vested I
in the Treasury, and if it could be fairly proved to them
that to open the ports would be an advantage, they
would certainly exercise that discretionary power. I
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer seemed to think that by limiting the suspen-
sion of the laws till September it would force foreign
countries to send forward their supplies. He might rest
assured, however, that all available stores would be sent
here without delay. The whole difficulty appeared to him
to be the want of shipping. He believed that all vessels were
employed, and under these circumstances he considered
that every facility should be given that vessels might
come in with the greatest possible expedition. He was
of opinion, therefore, that this would be best secured
by a further extension of the period of suspension.
Mr. LIDDELL would offer no opposition to the mea-
sures of the Government. He thought they were about
to pursue a course which was calculatsd to meet the
emergency of the times, and for that reason they should
receive his support. He would not take so discursive a
view of the question as the Honourable Member
for Liverpool had, and regard the measure
as a wedge by which it was intended to
break away the navigation laws. He would look at
it as a measure intended to meet the distress which pre-
vailed through the country, and for this reason would
give it his support. The Hon. Member for the Pot-
teries had intimated that he intended to bring the
navigation laws under the consideration of the House.
If so, he hoped that timely notice of his intention w ould be
given to those interested in them, for he believed that
their shipping was the bulwark of the country, and their
commercial marine the source of their great prosperity.
He had reason to believe that the opinions of those who
occupied the chief position among the shipping interests
were quite opposed to the measures of the Government
for the repeal of these navigation-laws.
Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, who rose with Mr. Dun-
combo, simply wished to explain that he was not op-
posed to the suspension, but only to the repeal of the
laws.
Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE believed that the object of
the House at present was not to consider pieta
nadasl.--
sability or non advisability of retaining LI?
gation Laws, but whether they were to give effect
os
to the measures which Government had proped.
The queation was now whether
they shouldhmpoasiinttiot
these laws inviolate, or support
which the Government had made. An Hon. Friend had
moved an amendment, and the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer and a late Chancellor of the Exchequer had
both given their opinions upon the measure. For his
own part he believed that the measure would not be
complete without the amendment of his Lion. Friend.
Some time had been proposed for the conclusion
of the suspension, but they had no authority for
Opposing that it would not be opposed. The
Ist of September had been proposed as the proper time,
but, on whose authority, or for what reason, was not
stated either by the mover or seconder of the proposi-
tion. If either of the gentlemen behind him, or those
who sat on the opposite side, gave an assurance that they
would not oppose the proposition, then the House
would understand the position in which it was placed.
This same individual advised Ministers that corn
must go down, and yet in spite of this ad-
vice it actually did go up. Now, who was that
individual? The Committee had heard the opinion of
two gentlemen connected with the mercantile and ship-
pine- interest in that House, and lie was inclined
to p1,..k., - ,lide.ne:i in that opinion, itEOII.ISO bt had
l'''''''' L ' ' ' 1.104! foundeAl in ez,iranon tense or ji.,..iee
why it should be objected to.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to say that
should the contemplated contingency embraced by the
