ANTI-MONOPOLY PETITIONS.:
A numerous and most respectable meeting washeld at L. eds
yesterday, consisting of delegates from all the towns, and corny
of the most important villages of the West Riding of Yoi k-
shire, for the purpose of supporting her Majesty's Ministers in
their noble effort to promote the public good by reducing th:?
taxes on the chief articles of food and consumption." The
meeting It as attended by the first men of the place. There
were present also Francis H. Fawkes. Esq., the Hon. Sir Ed-
ward M. Vavasour, Bart., and numerous Magistrates and in
fluential gentlemen from Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield,
Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster; Keigisley, Bing-
ley, Pontefract, Otley, Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Batley,
Idle, Pudsey, Rawden, Saddleworth, Airfield, &c. &c. _

Strong resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the fol-
lowing petition to the House of Commons, numerously signed,
was to be sent off this day, or to-morrow at latest :
" That your Petitioners approve, in the fullest manner, of
every relaxation of the fetter s on trade.
" That very deep, general, and long continued distress 'and
embarrassment prevail tly•oughout this great manufacturing
4161 rict,

" That your Petitioners believe the most effectual and legiti-
mate relict for their distress would be found in a revision of the
commercal and fiscal system of the country, abolishing or re-
ducing the duties on the main articles of food and consump-
tion ; thus extending and securing our trade with the coun-
tries from which those articles are imported, and lowering the
price of the chief necessaries of life to the people.
7 hat your Petitioners therefore humbly pray your Ho •
'towable House to give the most favourable considerwion to
the measures announced for reducing the import duties on
several of the chief articles of food aid consumpli n ; espe-
cially for the re:luction; of the Sugar and 'limber Duties, and
for the repeal of the Corn-laws."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
_ TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

The Derby betting iesterl;y was confined to a-select
few, and without being heavy, was marked by some impor-
tant fluctuations :—Ralph and Coronation were quoted
at slightly improved prices, and in the early part
of the afternoon were in general request ; Scott's horses,
however, and two or three others, were afterwards so
strongly supported that their friends " fought shy," and
during the last hour they were. very seldom 'men-
tioned. Scott's two favorites were in great force, 7to 1
about Van Amburgh, 10 and 11 to 1 about Marshal
Soult,- and 7 to 2 about the lot having been taken to a
large amount some thousands were also laid even be-
tween Vain Ambargh and Coronation. Galaer, Belgrade,
and Ermangardis moved upwards, and had strong par-
ties ; on the other hand, Prince Caradoc receded eight
points, and from the feeling shown it is reasonable to
surmise that there is a, ScreW loose.' Sir Hans also gave
way, and Mongolian was put altogether on the retired
list.

The only Oaks bet:; we heard were. 6 to 1 each against
Lampoon, Ghuznee, and Ermangardis in one bet (to 50
each), 12 to 1 to a small sum against Colonel Wynd-
ham's ...Torna Creina, and 500 even on her against Mr.
Treen's Una (Adela Potentia was reported to be

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—It amuses us much to find ourselves accused of a
" pecfligate and unblushing abandonment .of principle," be-
cause we will not help the Ministerial prints to get up a "great
crisis" fer the purpose of keeping their masters in office. It is
stated, and a ith perfect truth, that in numerous articles, of
recent as well as of remoter date, we have remonstrated with
Ministet s for not carrying out with more consistency and
vigour " the able policy of Mr. Huskisson ;" that we have
said, " the good sense of the House of Commons and the coun-
try" would support a Government which acted in the spirit of
that policy ; that we have appealed to experience as furnishing
" repeated proofs that the grand interests of our commerce
would not be converted by the principal Members of the
Opposition into weapons of offence ;" that we have re-
commended an "extension of the bases of taxation by en-
larging and relieving the cless of consumers ;" and a more ex-
act arid eqnitable adjustment of protective duties, as the most
advantageous meth( ds of providing for the exigencies of the
public service; and that we have urged the reduction of the
duties upon colonial produce. Undoubtedly, we have ad-
vanced all these positions, and, much as it may disappoint the
crisis-mongers to hear us say so, we wholly deny that we have
ever reti acted or abandoned any of them; we see no reason for
abandoning them, and we shall not abandon them till further
enlightened upon the subject. Where, then, is our incon-
sistency ? Does approbation of Mr. Huskinson's principles of
necessity convict us to be the supporters of every mea-
sure which Mr. F. T. Baring may profess to found upon
them ? Does an equitable adjustment of protective duties,
doss the repeal of onerous and unprofitable restrictions, in-
volve the sweeping immolation of every protected interest,
without regard to the collateral considerations of philanthropy,
po'icy, or justice ? Does a demand for a reduction of the duties
upon colonial produce imply partiality for a tariff which ac-
tua'ly raisss some of those (tulles, while it lowers those upon
foreign produce of the same description? Does a conves•
tiun that" the grand interests of our commerce will never
be converted by the Opposition into weapons of offence"
pseclude us from feeling and expressing indignation
when we see them so abused by a profligate and desperate
Ministry? Does a• recommendation of measures which
the good sense of the House of Commons and the
country would support, pledge us to measures intended
to "stir society to its foundation," and array contending
classes against each other with deadly feelings of animosity aed
bitterness ? We laugh the foolish fallacy to scorn. The
genuine principles of Mr. Huskisson, which we have ever ad-
vocated as just, comprehensive, and liberal, are held as much
by the Conservative Statesmen who repudiate the Baring Bud-
get, as by the Whigs who fabricated that rash 'and revolution-
ary measure. Mr. Huskiss us was no Whig, but a Tory ; Sir
Robert Peel was his colleague in office; and, as Mr. Terries
informed the country in the recent debate upon colonial duties,
" Sir Robert Peel and every other colleague of Mr. Huskisson
gave their cordial concurrence in all those measures which Mr.
Huskisson, in concert with them, proposed." He added (and the
accuracy of the statement was admitted by Lord John Rus-
sell himself), that it was the principle of Mr. Huskisson "to
relieve our commerce from all those shackles that could pos-
sibly be dispensed with, but to preserve those duties, which
were requisite for protection." "if that," continued Mr.
Herries, " were the case, the only object on both sides of the
House must be to discover the point at which protection
ought to be maintained the object of all parties was
to reduce protection to the lowest point. If the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Labouchere) proceeded upon that princi-
ple, and he trusted he would, he might be assured of re-
ceiving as hearty support from that (the Opposition) side of
the House as from the other, as nothing could be more in
conformity with those who trod in the steps of
Mr. Huskisson," This was our warrant for say-
ing that the interests of commerce would never be converted
by the Opposition into weapons of offence, and we have no
doubt the Opposition will ever remain faithful to these views.
It is the Ministry which has deserted them, by throwing over-
board the principle of effectual protection altogether. But
the leading grounds on which we have felt it our duty to pro-
test againet the Ministerial budget are, like that budget itself,
political, and not commercial. For the first time in the history
of this country, a Government without a majority in
either House of Parliament, without a party in the
nation, on the day after a critical defeat, when
constitutional precedents pointed out resignation as
the only possible course, came down to Parlia-
ment with a measure of finance, involving momentous changes,
compromising vast interests, and calculated to excite a most vio-
lent conflict of opinion. This they did, with a deficiency in the
revenue of 2,500,000/, to be provided for, and with their eyes
open to the certainty that ench e proposition could never be
carried, without a reyolutionaty -egitatieto In any other
days, Statesmen who dared to adopt so desperate a course,
would, even in the judgment of .ehese .who , assented to their
financial views, have been deemed worthy of impeachment.
A Minister who does, not possess the confidence of the House
of Commons has no right to meddle with the revenue questions
till he has eechanged the Treasury for the Opposition benches.
ADVERTISER.—The W 6.4. India intereet, which defied
Pitt at the height of his power, and defeated his attempt to
abolish the slave trade, now threaten to obstruct the greatest
scheme of Reforta that has ever been offered to the people,
by means of an unnatural alliance with the friends of negro
emancipation. The plea which they have found potent enough
to reconcile these extremes, and to augment their party,
which could not muster a dozen votes on whet they considered
the vital question, of the equalization of the rem duties, by
the formidable addition of the abolitionists, has been the en-
couragement of slavery, which the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer's measure is alleged to involve. It would provoke a sar-
donic smile to hear of these professions, were it not for the
melancholy refleetiee, that whenever the mantle of philanthropy
is ostentatiously thrown over any prpceedinz, we are sure to find
an interested motive lurking beneath. The common sense of the
country will be upon its guard against the exaggerated humanity
of those who, in order that a few monopolists may tax the people
five millions annually, under the pretext of benefiting the negro,
would, like Old Poulten, condemn the people " to eat grass,"
These are the parties whom the Tories now count upon for de-
feating the Ministry—men whom the Times the eiherday held
up. to .the contempt of the country as " self-perfumed cox-
combs.' who overlooked the privations of our own people, to
fix their affections upon " negro eheruirt" To the first elec 's
let us analyse this West India intereet, which • aeettines to
itself an identity with the fate and fortune of our colonial
population, and imposes upon the nation its opinions as
representing those of the negroes. The very first act of
emancipation proved the great regard which this handful 'of
monopolists really felt for the resident inhabitants of the West
Indies. By the powerful and central interests pf this trody,
who coup have acted with such force Upon the t.'aciernment
of the day, they managed that the whole of the twenty mil-
lions went into their own pockets as mortgagees, while the
entire ri4k ant! kw of the experiment were shifted upon the
shoulders of the resident prepriettore and inhabitants of the
colonies. According to the strict letter cif* law these rights
claimed a priority, but in equity they sheull have borne a pro-
portion of the risk ; and the compensation should have been di-
vided

tion depends upon working a stated number of cane-holes per
day. They find ether means of snb(istence which make them
happier, and the humane and enlightened sentiments expressed
by Lord John Itassell, in his despatch to Governor Light, of
Demerara, that an advance in civilization and Christianity was
an object of far higher import to her Mejes,y,, Government
than any quantity of produce raised by a system of forced la-
bour, find a deep and grateful echo yin their breasts.

CHRONICLE--Were the West Indies within petitioning
distance of the Howe of Commons during the pending dis-
cussions on the Sugar Duties, there can be little doubt on which
side of the question the emancipated negroes would appeal to
.the Legislature. Their interests are obviously and distinctly
opposed to the views advocated by Dr. Lushington and the
(in this instance falsely called) Anti-Slavery Committee.
I'he petition lady presented from Antigua (having bean g .t
up in anticination ) by the Learned Doctor, was not a negroes'
petition. He appeared, on his own account we hope f.>r the
first time and the last, in the character of the planters' a&
vocate instead of that of the negroes' Mewl. A sugar
monopoly is not less injurious in its tendency towards
the freed negroes than towards the English labourer. The
planters who aim at an artificial sugar monopoly, and whom the
abolitionists of this country are invited to support in that claim,
are themselves importers of slave sugar. The sugar comes
here from Brazil or Cuba, is refined in bond, and then goes out,
the cheap purchase and relished enjoyment of these new clients
of Dr. Lushingtun and the Anti- Slavery Committee. They
carry on this consistent traffic while selling us their own coat ser
proiuet at a price enhanced by the protective duty. Th's
is the system which some parties hope to uphold by
means of the perverted moral power of the anti-
slavery people of this country. Let the honelit Aboli-
t;onists look well at what is doing in their names. Can
they submit to •be juggled into the toils of this sordid hypo-
crisy? The planters are paid; they have freed their slaves,
a id they consume slave sngar; what have the Abnlitionis s to
do with them but to hold them to their bargain ? If imported'
sugar be -cheaper for the whites in the West Indies, it is
cheaper for the blacks also. And the negros, generally speak-
leg, would rather buy it than cultivate it. 'I hey hate the
cane-field; they live well withotit its horrible toil. It was
worse to them than the worst evils of our factory system.
Their women and children laboured there, under the lash. Now.
the women, no longer degraded and polluted, are happy and useful
in their home duties and enjoyments; and the children are et
school. The work of mental and moral improvement is pro-
gressing. Their habitations nre no longer wretched hovels,
but decent houses. The effects of a better quality of bed
produce its natural result on their appearance. And in cloth-
ing, they are becoming fastidious and comparatively costly.
They can afford it. The general condition of the negro popu-
lation is such as may well be an object of astonishment and
envy to the working classes of this country. In the name
of humanity, let the professed Abolitionists pause before they
lend themselves to the interruption of this blessed progress for
he moth of the sugar monopolists. The speculation of the
planters, and of their friends here, is that by injur-
ing the labouring classes at home, and taxing the en-
;ire community, so as to sustain a high price for West
Indian sugar, the cultivation of the cane may be very pro-
fitable to the proprietary, and enable them to pay the enormous
sagos
.which alone can bribe the negroes to that species of oc-
' ,upation. What will be the consequences to the negroes ?
1'11(1 will be drawn off from wholesomer and preferable modes
of life, more friendly to their advancement in civilization. The
articles which they import will rise in price, so as
t,, diminish their command over them. Protection always
taxes doubly, and the barter of taxation impoverishes the con-
sumers on both sides. They must pay more for manufactured
clothing because we pay more for protected sugar; nor will
the cupidity of the negro, on which his demoralising
employers reckon to tempt him hack to the cane-field, stop
there when once it has been sufficiently excited for that pur-
pose. It will extend to the women and children under his
control. Tee feet has not escaped the negro's false friends,
that the sugar of Cuba is only raised by male negro labour.
Such ta ill not long be the case in our islands if this lefi-
handed friendship for negroes be successful. The heart-
'leering progress which is making will be arrested. And
suppo,e, after all, the artificially-high wages should not
prevail as a sufficient temptation—or that the• success
be only partial ; while yet the planters have an as-
sured monopoly of the British market what can or
must happen then ? The white population will struggle des-
perately to retain the advantages of its false position. If it
cannot do so by fair means, it will by foul. .In the pleni-
tnde of its legislative influence, it will not, indeed, dare to
re-enact the institution of :Livery, but it will be under such
inducements. as ruling classes do not commonly resist to nul-
lity practicaly all that is substantial in emancipation, and in-
'Alec a system which may answer the purposes of slavery to
the monopo:ist cultivator. The system which dues that can-
not fail of entailing some of the worst curses of slavery upon
the nomin Ily free negro.
Again we ask the real friends of the negro to pause before
monopoly cajoles them into an unrighteous interference with
the prospects of those who are so largely indebted to their
Christian zeal for all these blessings and prospects. Let them
not deface the work of their own hands. The injury to the
labouring classes here, the discouragement to the great tem-
perance movement so widely extending, and the pernicious
effect on manufacturing emplopnent : these are all certa n ;
but the injury to the freed negroes is certain also. And for
what (except by the sordid and designing) will both in-
juries have been inflicted? From a just, but undis-
cerning abhorence of slavery in Brazil, where its termination
will be rendered much more probable by the amicable relations
with this country, arising out of a comparatively unrestricted
commercial intercourse. We put the question on the narrowest
ground, as relating only to neghoes and negro slavery. It is,
really, part of a great commercial renovation, in which, when
effected, slaves and fieemen, blacks and whites, our own
countrymen and foreigners, will find ample occasion for re-
joicing, as a most important benefit for humanity itself*

Dantiic wheat al present may be quoted from 345. to 3a35., and
the freight and other charges of delivery in bond about 6s.
Therefore, exclusive of the factor's commission and other ex-
penses of sale to the consumer, it would cost, with a proposed
duty of Bs., full 50s. per quarter ;and if we make allowances for
all items, it cannot by stated at less than 535. far prime Dantsio
wheat ; but when the fixed duty of Bs. comes into operation,
we must expect a rise in price in the Baltic ports before
the certainty of a steady demand from this country shall have
accommodated the supply to it ; so that in every probability
the result of the Ministerial measure a ill be to give a Market
price of about 545. Hamburgh wheat is at present quoted
345. to 38s. at that port ; freight and charFe§
red, 335. to 365. • freight qnd cages 44.
The regal of ,t:aptain Istliott, and the possibili'y of the re-
newal of hestilities with the Chinese, has given great anima.:
tion to the Tea Market, in which a rise of 33 per cent. was
realised to day on the prices of Is. 6d., which was the average
before the non-confirmation of the treaty with Keshen became
known. At one period to-day the price touched 2s , but r,mg
of the knowing ones having slipperi ilway. at that figirre, prioes
gave way algtin tct ls. 104 e. 'this, however,. is a considerable
start on ls. 6d., which was the,quotation on the arrival of the
last overland mail.

POST.—The English funds did not close so well by per
cent. this evening as on Saturday, yet there was apparemly
but very little stock thrown upon the market. The fer4igu
scutities hate, with pertain ezetatptious, tie(;oole a,,4 dead let-
ter." The public haVe suffered so severely by their misplaced
confidence in such investments, and the Governments issuing
them, that they are no longer to be tempted into the market.
The home stocks are assisted by this more cautious policy, for
~,here there is money to lay out, the latter are, • almost as
matter of course, resorted to, especially durip.; a period
stagnation in share property, tO exist at the
present moipeni. • ' "
The operations of the Tea Market assumed to-day a some-
what reckless appearance. Prices have, upon the whole, ad-
vanced no less than 6d. per lb. (which is equal to 30 per cent,
:on the previous value) since the confession was evr4ct?.,d by
Sir R. Peel and Mr. Hume from brd Joists ltiassell, that our
Sapient Government did not moan to ratify a treaty with the
Chinese, founded op the preliminaries entered into with core,
missioner Elliot, upon whose proceedings thay thought fit, but
a few months agcl, to lavish snob extravagant commendations.
Speculators have proverbially short memories, and every day's
.-experience serves to prove that they are regulated in their
(lealings less by the recollections of the past, than by the anti.
ticipations of the future. The trade have been ac,t'ing.
is
regard to tea upon a wiser principle tfi6l the
mere speculators. It appear: than they have pretty gene-
rally kept (Ai or the market the last few slays. They remem-
ber the derangements in business, the falling off in the con-
sumption of the article, and the injurious effects of insolvtusqes,
bad debts, and losses arising to them from the high ki*es and
fluctuations of the past year. A few of the Minor Importer%
have been tolerably irtdustrious in. their, efforts to prom* the
ferment, by ostensibly withdrawing their parcels from the
market ; but the more cansids:ablel.Guses have made known
their ()pillion of the adisanoed rates by advertising large public
sales for the present and ensuing week, and they no doubt
reckon upon the same goo,d fortune that awaited Ole% last
spring in getting out of stuck at high figneei an the eye of
fresh arrivals. Inquiries are in a 4 for the reasons of the.
rene.ved advance and excitement, but none of a very
mate nature are to obtained, The lightness of stocks in
dealers' hands, the refusal of impellers to sell, and the insuffi-
ciency of the supply caleulated ',wen, are among the more pre-
valent notions ge 10141 the buyers appear to found their trans-
actions. As to the scantiness of stocks, it is to be obsotyod,
however, that there is now. twelve months' consumption on,
hand in the United Kingdom, namely, gstto9,oo 'pounds.
There are, as we have said, deplaratiep,s i9r. large sales lay irrt.
