palatable article than that manufactured from barley alone.
He hoped her Majesty's Government would not yield to the
interested clamour of the Scotch and Irish distillers, in their
outcry in the reduction of the differential duties. The
colonies had now to comrete with the slave countries, and he
therefore thought that the differential duties should no longer
be kept up, but such was the outcry, and such was the influ-
enoe of the Irish and Scotch distillers, that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer still proposed to con-
tinue a duty of 6d. per gaAon against the colonial proprietor.
The measures, however, taken as a whole, were a great boon
to the public, and he begged to ter.der his thanks to her Ma-
jesty's Government foe having brought them forward.
Mr. FINCH objected to tilt principle of the Bill, but would
not oppose it in its present form. He apprehended, however,
that it would not confer any great advantage upoi. the public.
For ins.ance, he had been informed that sugar had increased
Id. a pound that day; so that if it increased in price as the
price of the beer tell, no great advantage would be conferred
upon the public. The want of protection to native
produce had produced, atid was producing the re-
sults which had been atiticipivesi, and the colonial
interests, should therefore join the agricultural interests to en •
deavour to obt :in that protection which they had lost. He
thought tgey ought to get ri of the principle of tree trace, so
far as foreign sugar was concerned. What the agricultural in-
terest hal to fear was the low price of sugar which would take
place in accordance with the measures of last sear, and ti,e
competition which would be thereby induced betweco it
and barley. It was the duty also of the Irish members to join
them to regain that rat itection which they had lost in con-
sequence of their dereliction.
Mr. M. MILNES wished to know whether the Govern.
mcnt would consider it consistent with their duty to recom-
mend a reduction of the penalties imposed on those using
liquorice juice—(Laughter.) It was used very touch in private
breweries, and in many instances, he was sorry to say, illicitly.
Such a reduction would be of the utmost advantage to the
liquorice growers in Yotkshire and Essex.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it
enadvisable to hold out a premium for the introduction of a
noxious drug into beer—( Hear, hear, )—one especially which
was prohibited as an unfit ingredient in its preparation.
Mr. M. MILNES—May I consider then that there are no
financial difficulties ?—( Roars of 2auglater.)
The subject then dropped. The House then went into
committee, and after a short discussion, clauses 1,2, 3,4, 5,6,
7,8, and 9, were then read and severally agreed to.
After a few words from Mr. MOFFAT, the Bill passed
through Committee.
The CHAIR:KAN reported progress, and the House resumed.
The Bill, with the amendments, was then reported to the
House.
DISTILLING FROM SUGAR BILL.

The House then went into Committee on this Bill.
The several clauses of the Bill were then agreed to.
CUSTOMS DUTIES BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that,
with the sanction of the House, he should propose the second
reading of this Bill to night, and take the discussion in Com-
mittee. _ _

Lord G. BENTINCK gave notice that on the order of the
day being proposed fur going into Committee on the Bill, he
should move that it be referred to a Select Committee up
stairs.—The Bill was then read a second time.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock.

TATTERSALL'S—Mom:ay.
The business transacted on the Spring Handicaps was,
with few exceptions, in small sums, and at prices according
so nearly with those last quoted that we may dispense with
any comment. On the Derby and Oaks it was heavier, and
with reference to the former, we may state that Epirote de-
clined to 13 to 1 (1,4(X) to 100 laid' once), resigning the
second place in the betting to Planet, who advanced a point
on the previous quotation ; Glentilt and Red Hart also im-
proved, but we are not aware that any business was done on
the Goodwood horses except as a " lot," in which shape they
were backed fir a hundrei at sto 1. The most remarkable
feature in the betting on this event was the elevation of
Conyngham—one of the Danebury lot—to 20 to 1, anything
above which would have been taken ; of the outsiders, Wa-
nota, Horn of Chas:, Limestone, and Signet (the Galvanic
Ring) were most in request. Latest prices:—
