MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of March 9 )
SCG A r..—Although importers of British Plantation Sugar
have submitted to aftwther reduction of Is 61 to 2i per cwt
notwithstanding the short supply, stilt the trade have evinced
little desire to do busiress, and the demand has been ver,
limited for both grocery and refining purpmes ; the
,r the three market day s have amounted to only
three hundred and fifty hhds and tierces ; fine bright
yellow St. Kitts has been said at 8,/s ; Demerara dry la-cm n
for refining 68s, making the reduction during the last four
weeks 4s to Us, the greater decline being on brown and low
yellow sorts : out of the present stock about half is held by im-
porters. The arrivals have been trivial sines this day week.
The arrivals this year differ little from those of last.
To-day the market presented an increased dulness, neither
grocers or refiners scarcely waking an inquiry, and prices are
little better than nominal, the merchants are, however, not dis-
posed to submit to that decline which has taken place for
Bengal.
REF:NI:D.—For all descriptions of Refined Goods prices
have further given way Is per cwt. Standard Lumps at
933 6(1 to 945, Tittlers and Hambro Loaves fine 99s to 102 s,
good Ms to 975, ord 93s to 91, brown Lumps 903 to 92s per
cwt. Treacle of common quality has declined to 32s
to 335. Patent has produced 365, best old make 395,
and Golden Syrup 40s per cwt. Bastards have further
given way. Pieces common sorts are rather lower. Eonded
Crushed Sugar has been in good request, and 32s 6d paid for
first quality ; there are large buyers at 32s 3d per cwt. Loaves
141bs 36s to 36s 6d, 10 lbs 37s to 38s, and 6 lbs 40s 6d to 41s.
For Treacle 14s 6d to 14s 9d per cwt. Bastards at 15s to 19s,
and Pieces at 20s to 255. Dutch Crushed Sugar a fair busi-
ness has been clone on board at 31s.
To-day the transactions in Refined goods were extremely
limited for home use, and prices further gave way, 93s is the
nearest quotation for standard lumps. Treacle is cheaper, and
the demand dull; sales of common made at 3ls, and 30s is the
highest quotation fur the best sort. Bastards and Pieces ne-
glected. Bonded Crushed Sugar in good demand at 32s 3d to
32s 6d per cwt.
Mao RITI us. —lmporters having again supplied the market
freely, have farther depressed prices Is to 2s per cwt; fine
yellow at 77s to 80s, middling to good 70s to 765, low 67s 6d
to 695, low and middling brown 49s to 555, dabs 45s to 47s
per cwt.
EA ST INDIA. —This afternoon the bidding: were languid at
a public sale of 6,240 bags white Bengal, not above halt found
buyers, and prices further gave way 2s to 3s per cwt ; good
mid and good white went at 71s to 735, mid 68s to 70s, low
mid clingy 66s 6d, damps and washed 66s to 713 per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day the market was firm for all descriptions,
and there were buyers of large parcels of yellow Havannah for
export at 24s for good middling quality, but holders refusing
to sell under 24s 6d, prevented purchases of moment. For
some small parcels of brown and white Brazil, stiffer rates
were given.
llloLAssEs.—The demand has been limiled for West India,
but the supply being rather small prevents prices from mate-
rially going down, the trifling parcels disposed of by private
treaty have however been rather under former rates. At auc-
tion 83 hhds 45 tree Porto Rico were all bought in at 12s to I3s,
and 28 casks Maui itius Sugar and Molasses at 44s per cwt.
COFFEE.—For clean descriptions of West India there has
been rather more demand, and former rates have been sup-
ported, still the transactions privately have been only to a
limited extent.
This afternoon the public sales attracted a good attend-
ance of the trade, but they did not evince much desire topur-
chase, and prices gave way for most descriptions, the quan-
tity offered being large ; 4,799 bags Java from Singapore, 711
bags do. from the Cape, 4,389 bags Laguayra, 56 casks St.
Jago de Cuba, 896 bags of Ceylon, 803 various sorts of East
India, and 684 bales Mocha were offered ; Java from Singapore
was all taken in at 52s for good ordinary pale, being above
what the trade were disposed to pay ; De Cuba from the Cape
went rather lower, mid and good sold at 80s to 95s ; Ceylon
sold cheaper, ordinary 67s good ordinary 68s to 69s 6d, fine
ordinary green 72s 6d, one lot Pea Berry 98s 6d; the sound
of the Laguayra was all taken in at lower rates, viz. good
ordinary green at 45s to 48s, the damaged sold cheap, viz.,
at 36s 6d to 44s ; Padang went rather under former rates, good
ordinary mixed sold at 37s to 38s, fine ordinary 395. Mocha
was nearly bought in at easier rates, viz., good fair brown at

100 s, good green 112 s (id to 115 s. East India was only partly
disposed of at 48s for good ordinary Batavia ; the above sales
establish a decline on former rates of 2s to 3s per cwt, with the
exception of Ceylon, which nearly brought former rates.
COCOA.—For British Plantation holders have submitted t
a reduction on former rates of is to 3s. Trinidad low mid-
dling to good red at 50s 6d to 55s 6d, mid to good grey 47s 6d
to 50s, ord and very ord 35s 6d to 44s per cwt. Of Foreign
there is abetter supply ; prices have been supported.
TEA.—Holders of Mee Trade have displayed firmness since
this day week, and by private treaty there has been a good
demand for black Tea from both town and country dealers,
and the prices paid are fully equal to those of this day week.
Common Congou for cash has been disposed of currently at
Is 7,14 d to is 71(1 per lb. Green sorts have produced previous
rates, and the purchases made have been to a fair extent : sales
of common Twankay for cash have been made at Is bid to is
6d per lb. At public sale on Friday 2,200 pkgs Tea were
principally sold at the former currency. The speculative mar-
ket has however become quiet, and Company's Congou has de-
clined to is 7d cash. The deliveries of Tea for home con-
sumption during the past week have amounted to 465,000 lbs.
The non-arrival of the Overland Mail, together with the
public sales declared for Thursday, caused the demand for
Free Trade Tea to-day to be limited, and some parties were more
disposed to sell; sales of common Congou for cash were made
at Is bid to Is 7d. The speculative market was dull. Com-
pany's Congou, Is 64d to Is 7d cash.
I-Um—Bengal at 12s 9d to 13s for low and middling white,
at auction 350 sacks went at 13s fer middling white. Java
at lOs 6d to 11s 6d for middling and good white quality. Ca-
rolina at 34s to 36s for home use, and for export at 22s per cwt.

under former rates for common sorts, but the better kinds
nearly brought previous prices; ord dusty and stalky Sumatra
at 3d, good brown clean nd to 31d, for white, prices have
given way a little, middling to good at 10d to is; low mid
7d to Pd, low ord brown 53d to tid per lb ; at auction 26 casks
pod sold at 58s per cwt. Cassia Lignea mid and good sorts at
90s to 94s per cwt. Nutmegs command high prices. Cloves
have maintained previous rates. Cinnamon at last sale's rates.
Row, BRANDY, AND HOI.LANDS.—The Rum market re-
mains in a dull state ; of 'West India both the home trade and
shippers have purcha.ed very sparingly, and the total sales
have not exceeded 120 puns, Jamaica has generally brought
previous rates, the supply being small, especially of the better
sorts, but to dispose of even - trifling parcels of Lee-
wards holders have been compelled to submit to a
reduction on former rates of ld per gallon, and
have taken 2s 4d tr 2s 4id for proof strength. In East India
nothing has been done, and Calcutta proof strength is offered
at Is 6d. Mauritius has declined to 2s 2d for 3 per cent.
over proof, at which rate GO hints have been sold, being 3d
under the sales made two months back. The stock of For ign
Rum consists of 900 puns, and of East India 800 puns and
1,500 hhds.

Brandy has met with a slow sale, and prices have a down-
ward tendency for new sorts, of which the stock is large, old
sorts, however, have undergone little variation in value : the
follow ing are the quotations :—Cognac, first brands 1840,
puns 3s 7d, hhds 3s 9d, second do, puns 3s 3d, hhds 3s 6d,

British Cons Spirits have been only in limited request, and
sales have been made at 9s 11d cash, being Id lower.
The limited business done to-day-in Runs was at lower rates;
small parcels of proof Cahrutta were sold at Is 61d to Is 7d,
and Leewards at 2s 4d per gallon. The arrivals of East India
have been large during the last week.

prices have undergone little variation since this day week. Ora
the spot for P.Y. Candle at 46s 3d ; yesterday, however, pur-
chases were made at 465. For delivery towards the end of
this and for next month at 45s 9d to 465. For the last three

_

To-cliy there was little demand for P Y Candle, awl there

46s 6d is asked.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—OiI Monday
afternoon the eighteenth m( clog of the subsciibers and
friends i f this Insfturi in took place, at the Londeere Ta-
vern, Bishopgse -street, fn. the purpose of electing fuur
pensinecs ou the funds of the So( Ley. Although only
four were to be chosen, there were 25 candidates on Lk i,
occasion. The fe Hewing prose] successful : —John Towns,
ai:e3 75, compositor; Matthew Yates, aged 69, pressman ;
Sarah Anderson, aged 63, and Swann:i Jerrold, aged 66.
Tie: meeting was %cry respectably attended, Mr. Riving_
ton presiding in the Cnair ; and immediately after the
c'sp>e of the poll, the Si creary read the Report for the
past year, from which it appeared that the funds of the
Society, although not mat,rially diminished, were greatly
in wart of support from the pressing chime of many of the
applic :Tits, seine of whom have remained on the list for
several years. The Secretary also acknowledged the very
liberal bequest of 2001., made by the late Mr. Whittingham,
of Chiswick, which enabled the Committee to propose to
the subscribers the creation ( f a new pension of 71. per
annum, to be entitled the Whi tingham pension, and given
on etch occasion to the c endidate who polls the highest
number of votes without gaining his election. This pro-
position was carried almost unanimously ; and Mr. R.
Taylor having consented to retain the office of Treasurer
to the Society, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the

HOUSE OF LORDS, 15Lincll 9.
TI e Earl of Snarrasnuov (in the absei.c • of the Lord
Chancellor) took his seat upon the Wcolsack et Five
t'Cleek.
Lord K F,N YON preserted rte petitions from various
~laces against any furihor grant to the C diege, rf AI,;-
tooth; 1.0 tFo p!.taions, praying f)r the t0,,e.1 of
he Cathchc Emancipation Act; also two petitions against
the Tithe Ac', which the petitioners were of opinion
had fsi'ed in producing tl:e effects anticipated from it;
also a acition against any additional power being con-
ferred on the Poor-law Commissioners—against the Poor-
-Itw Act being coattnued for ten years, and praying that
additional power might be given to the Board of Guar-
dians; also a petition from Bangor against any division of
the reve.tues of the sinecure rectories; and one from
the Dearvary of Ross against the conaclida.iag the
two bishoprics of North Wales. Ho comideied it
was most unjustifiable and cruel that it should be
proposed, when these bishopticks had now subsisted be-
tween thirteen and fmrteen hundred years, to do away
pith one of them, when the import trace of the continuing
those bishopticks in Wales was admitted on all hands, and
that treiely for the purpose of distributing 4,000/. a-year
in Manchester and its neighbourhood. Nothing could be
more cruel or disgusting than this diversion of toe profits
of the sinecuie rretoies. Ho cordially concurred in the
prayers of all the rentions.
The Earl of MOUNT EDGCUMBE presented a peli-
thin from the practitioners of Bodmin, praying for a Re-
farm of the Medical P. rofessi in, and that a drffcreat sys-
tem might be pursued in the appointment of Medical offi-
cers to the Poor Law Unions, and that one of the Pocr
Law Commissioners might Le a medical man.
CHL RCII OF SCOTLAND.
The Earl of ABERDEEN wished to call the attention
of the Government to a circumstance which had filled him
with surprise, and which he willingly hoped had equally
surprised the Noble Viscount with himself. He had not
many days ago had occasion to direct their Lordship? at-
tention to the declaration made by the Noble Viscount
at the opening of the Session with respect to the
Church of Scotland. The Noble Viscount had said
that it was not his intention to propose any
alteration in the law on the subject; but he had also said,
that he would take care to see that the law should be
duly executed. He had received that communication in
no captious or criticising spirit, but while he lamented the
determination of the Noble Viscount, he had admitted
that the Noble Viscount and his colleagues, being
answ: rattle for the peace and good order of society in that
country, were placed in a situation of considerable difficulty,
but, at the same time, it was necessary that the Noble
Viscount should bring the subordinate officers of the Go-
vernment to his opinion ; and that while he was stating
his principles in one place they should not be permitted to
contemn, to contradict, and to counteract them in another.
Now the subject he was led to bring before the Noble
Viscount's notice was this. A few years ago the Core-
tni.sioners appointed to examine the Universities of Scot-
land, reported in favour of the establishment of a Pro-
fessorship of Biblical Criticism, in the University of
Edinburgh.—( Hear.) This recommendation, against
which he (the Earl of Aberdeen) said nothing, for he
had concurred in it himself, but it had been announced in
every quarter that this professorship had been granted to
the most active and persevering agitator that bad existed
during the discussions cf the last three years, a Gentleman
who had himself violated the law times out of number, and
had stigmatized the judgment of the Court of Session in
Scotland, and of that House, as being unholy, unchristian,
and unjust, in every point of view. Now he (the Earl
of Abeadeen) thought it could be easily proved that there
was no recess ty to select the person upon whom this pro-
fessorship had been bestowed, since nobody cculd pretend
that, whatever his qualifications might be on the
platform, he was particularly celebrated as a scho-
lar in Scotland, whilst the present Principal
of the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Lee, who was un-
questionably the most learned man in the Church of Scot.
land, was, as he (the Earl of Aberdeen) understood, now
delivering a course of Biblical catechism. Therefore it was
not for war.t of a person skilled in Biblical theo-
logy that the present Professor was appointed.
This gentleman had violently outraged the law, and the
preferment seemed to be bestowed upon him as a reward
for his contumacy._( Hear, hear, hear.) A depu-
tation from the party which was disposed to act in
obedience to the law had waited upon the Noble Vis-
count, who received them with his usual blandness and
courtesy, but gave them no hopes. They also waited
upon him (Lord Aberdeen), and he advised them not to
attempt to enforce the law, but to wait until some such
measure as he proposed last year should be adopted by
Parliament. (Hear, hear.) On that advice they
acted for several month', but at last a case
occurred in which a gentleman thought proper to appeal
to the law. In the parish of Huntley, a church was built
within 200 yards of the parish church, and the minister,
Mr.—if he could call him the Rev. Mr.—Candlish, un-
tie' took to baptize, marry, and perform the other religious
ceremonies which, according to law,appertain to the office of
the parish minister. The clergyman of Huntley, who was
a gentleman of the highest character, as would be testified
by the Noble Duke (Richmond), who usually sat
upon the cross benches if he were present„ served
an interim order upon him, the Rev. Professes. of
Biblical Criticism ; and if the law should be carried into
full effect, the Professor would be sent to prepare th
syllabus of his firit course of lectures in the city gaol.
—( A laugh.) If those people who violate the law
in such &rammer were t to rewarded, how was the deela-
ration. of the Noble Viscount to be believed in Scotland ?
How were his declarations to be believed anywhere else ?
( Hear, hear.) The Noble Viscount and his colleagues
had been frequently accused of yielding too much
to a I scorned Member of the other House, and of giving
office and patronage to pet sons who were opposed to them
in opinion. Now ha would not say that he altogether
oppressed of their conduct in that respect; but he did not
so much condemn them for bestowing favours upon the
advocates of the Repeal of the Union, because these was
no lam against the Re peal, but he did think they deserved
condemnation for promoting persons who openly violated
the taw.

Lord MELBOURNE—What circumstance?

Lard ABE RDEE Nr—That a Profes;;;slip had been
bes';,wed upon Mr. Candlish, who was at the time acting
co:qv:try to law.
Lord MELBOURNE said that if hi; Noble
Friend had mentioned the circumstance to him
terday, when he gave notice, his Noble Friend might
Lave been save I the trouble of making such a very long
speech.—( A laugh.) He (Lc rd Melbourne) had cer-
tainly stated that the Government did not think it
necessary or expedient to introduce a new law
on the subject of the Church of Scotland, but it was
su-
perfluity and surplusage to aik any Government, and espe-
the present Government, whether they would pre-
'.:ect those who ohey ed the law.—( Very ire it laugh er. )
There had been no such appointment as his Noll.: Friend
had alluded to, and therefore there was no occasion to vin-
dicate the Government from his accusation.—( Hear. )
The Marquis of NORMANBY said that if the Noble
Earl had not taken the unusual course of tefusing to re-
ceive the information which was offered to him, that dis-
cussion would have been unnecessary. The fact was, that
although on the tecommendation of the Committee her Ma-
jesty's Government were :Treed upon establishing a Pro-
fessorship of Biblical Criticism, the office had not yet been
established, no: of course had any professor Leon installed
In consequence of the recommendations in favour cf Mr.
Candlish h( r 111,:jeAy's Government bad been die-
p6se.l to give lent the appointlicnr, and a corre-
spondence with that intent was carried on , but
the moment they heard ilia he had placed hirmelf in op-
position to the law, they immediately put an end to all
communication v.i:h I upon the subject. There was
no difference of opinion among the Memln 1.3 of
her Majesty's Government as to supporting those who
oheyed the lass, and discouraging those who violated then,.
So far were they from passing over the rrer;ts of Dr.
Lee, that they had determined upon giving the vacant
Deanery of the Chapel Royal of Edinburgh, in connection
with his Principalship of the University, and they intended
that this sinecure, which they could not very well abolish
(thanks, perhaps, to Noble Lords opposite) should in
future be held in connection with the superintendence of
the College.
After a few words from the Duke of ARGYLL, the
conversation dropped.
The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill then went through
Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Thursday.
Their Lnra.hip, then Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 9.

MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.

On the motion cf Mr. MARK PHILLIPS the Man
cheater and Leeds Railway Bill viai read a first time.
SEVFtCN NAVIGATION BILL.

Mr. a GORE moved, "-That it be an inst-uctlon to
the Committee of Selection (it they sec fit), to refer the
Severn Navigation Bill to a Select Commit ee." The
Severn was a large river, nay.gable fur upwards of 200
miles, and therefore the Bill affecting its navigation ought
not to be referred to a Committee selected exclusive ly
from tee representatives of those iesiding on its banks.
It was,
Bill had last year been thrown out on the secondin fact, a national question, and this very
reading, on the ground that it was too important a
measure to be referred to a merely kcal Committee.
One portion of the river which was likely to be improved
by this measure was in the county of Worcester. Now it
would be hard to refer this question to the Worcestershire
list, when Gloucestershire and Montgotnerysbire were op-
posed to it. It might be said that he might have named
a Committee representing all the different interests, but
thethat
mwoaise impossible.prhdeat
oa Thed ehoeur se w
appealedhic to the justice ofh he proposed was
the House to support him.
Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY seconded the motion.
Mr. LABOUCHERE was at all times unwilling to
depart from the rules laid down for
the regulation of pri-
vate business, as it would lead to a recurrence of the evils
from which they had already suffered. If they did, Gen-
tlemen would come down to the House and carry such'
measures from the more force of local interests. No dc-
parture from their rules ought to be suffered, unless a else
ed
were fully made out. He should act on the present
occasion as he had during the last Session on the cecsion
of the Welsh Railway Bills. He should nut advise
the House to consider the question then, but to devolve
that duty upon the Committee for Private Business, where
the statements and counter-statements of the opponents
and supporters of the Bill could be more fully considered
s to
than they could be in the House. He could not con-
cpt
the appointment of a Select Committee.--
The
GentlemanspQ Right Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving
ri
an amendment that all the petitions that had been pre-
sented
with reference to the Severn Navigation Bill, be
referred to the Select Committee on Private Business.

Mr. WARBURTON moved, pursuant to notice, that
the evidence taken before the Committee on Petitions on
Private Bills relative to the Stafford and Rugby Railway
Bill, should be laid on the table and printed.
Mr. LA BO UCH ERE said that the difficulty he felt
about the question was this, whether the motion ought to be
granted without special grounds were made In. it.
As the Chairman of the Committee was not then in the
House, he would suggest to the Hon. Member for Brid-
port the propriety of postponing his motion till he was
present. _ _

- Mr. WARBURTON assented, and the motion was
postponed.
Lord MAHON gave notice that be would postpone the
motion of which he had given notice yesterday, to Tuesday
the 23d inst.
Mr. EMERSON TENNENT gave notice that he
would postpone all further proceedings on the Copyright
Designs Bill to Wednesday the 24th of March.
iOn the motion of Mr. GREENE that leave of :absence
be granted to Mr. Ingham to go the circuit, a discussion
arose as to the propriety of granting !ciao in such cases.
Mr. GOULBURN said he .believed from time imme-
menial it had been found advisable and for the general in-
terest that lawyers should be excused from attendance.
Mr. W. B. WRIGHTSON said there had been a
clear understanding in the House that lawyers should not
bo exempted from serving upon Committees.
Mr. GOULBURN said that rule applied when they
were empannelled end not otherwise.
Mr. F. KELLY said that when the Bill of the Right
Hon. Member for Tamworth was discussed the Attorney-
General had been strongly against the exemption, and yet
he was one of the first to ask leave for himself.
Sir G. GRE Y said the Attorney-General had leave of
absence under special circumstances.—( Hear, hear.) He
!Wed to the Reuse that he had to attend the Government
prosecution- at Meemosith, and was f xeiee eely ter a
lenited period, to order that the pulls! :e, vice teht ont
he interfered wits.—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir G. Grey)
thought that leave of absence ought to be granted in the
present instance.
The leave of absence wa; then given.
Colonel PAGET then moved for leave of absence to
Mr. W. 0. Stanley until after Easter, on tri•gent private
business.
Mr. WARBURTON hoped that this granting of leave
of absence when the duties of Members on Election Com-
mittees were very light, would not be drawn into a pre-
cedent during a Session when it might be heavy. He
did not see why indulgence should be granted to lateyers
any more than to merchants or Magistrates.
Sir ROBERT PEEL observed that what be had
at ited on a former cceasion, with iegard to the lawyers, was
that if they thought the performance of the duties in that
House was onerous, and there being no legal obligation
to compel them to serve in Parliament; he thought they
ought not to be made au exception, as justice would net
be done to other Members, by inflicting on them duties
which the lawyers cught to take a fair share of.—
( Hear, hear.) The fart was, that in former times a lawyer
was never to be seen in the House when in election
Committee was to be balloted for—they always avoided
being called upon to serve, by taking care not to be in the
House when it was called over --(Hear, and laughter.)
It was difficult to lav down aey precise rule on the subject.
He thought it would-be bad, having given permission in some
CASC,,, to refuse to extend a similar privilege to others, espe-
cially when there we. e only three or four election petitions
ef e the House. At the commencemeat of a new
Session, hoe ever, when there might be a great number of
pe Hone, he thought the House ought to be more strict.
Lord HOWICK observed that the ease before the
House was not that of a lawyer, and it was not stated what
the nature of the duties was which called the Hon. Mem-
ber away.

Mr. PRINGLE deprecated these continual applica-
tions for leave of absence, and unless softie cot cause was
shown for the motion in the present instance, he should
not hesitate to divide the House upon it.
STANLEYLcrd happened unfortunately to be in the
Panel, No. 3, and be was going down to the Assizes
on tl.e 2J of March, but it was his intention to return to
perform his duties in that House. He thought they ought
to bate the assurance of the Gentleman who made the
meti in, that the private business; was so urgent and inn
portant that it could not be dispensed with, and tha• it did
not admit of being done at any other period. They all knew
that urgent and important, generally speaking, meant
nothing at all. He was unwilling to do any thing that
might appear uncoutt-ous, but he thought the House ought
to be satisfied that the motion was made bona fide.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY trusted the Hon. and Gallant
Member would withdraw the motion and renew it at an-
other oppur.unity.
Colour 1 PAGET did not feel himself justifiel in with-
drawingthemotion,

Mr. PRINGLE would not heiitate to divide the House
if ivitficient reason was not shown for the motion being
made.

The motion was agreed to without a division.
Mr. FRESIIFIELD said he wished to ask the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequrr, whether, since the commence-
ment of the present Session, any Government agent has
been employed to make arrangements at Dartmouth,
with a view to the conduct of the West India Mail Sen.
vice in that port ?—Whether it is intended that the ex-
pense consequent upon the adaptation of that port to the
service in question, or to be incurred in the conduct of the
service, shall be borne by the Royal Mail Steam Com-
pany, or by the public?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
it did riot strike him as a case of very greit importance.
He had no objection to tell the Hon. Member that the
Commissioney, who had been appointed to see the de.
cisions of the Treasury carried into effect, had rec-nn-
mended, on the 4th of January last, that an officer should
be sent down to Dartmouth for that purpose. Au officer
was accordingly sent down on the sth of that month to
make the necessary inquiries. With regard to the pay.
meat, that part of the expense which was defrayed by the
Government at Falmouth would be defrayed at Dart-
mouth.
Mr. GOULBUR.N wished to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer whether it was his intention, on the House
going into Committee on Ways and Means t ;-morrow, to
make any statement relative to the state of our financial
affairs.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that it was not his intention.

CASE OF MR. T. REEVES.
Mr. KELLY, in moving to refer the petition of Thomas
Reeves (presented on the 4th February) to a Select Com-
mittee said, that in the year 1835 Mr. Reeves had re ired
after 22 years' service as a surveyor of taxes, and
it was a matter pf importance to know what
pension he was entitled to.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
He would state, and he had no doubt he would be corro-
borated by the Gentlemen connected with the Treasury,
that there was nothing against the character of Mr. Reeves
to disqualify him for the allowance he was entitled to under

any Act of Parliament. On the contrary, he had per.

451. to 241. and tle.t was all the ail ,wance that was made
to a an. The reason given f she de luction was this
was a ad that Mr. Reeves had, by contributing to a ce ten
fund, celieei a Superemiustion Fund, entitled tiara If to
a very coteasiereale amuui.t of retiring perai tie acid 'tra
it was the custom of the Treasury when a party had
coati ibuted money for such a purpose, although he did so
out cf his own earnings, to hold him diseatir led to the fell
amount to ehich he would otherwise hava b- en revelled
unaer the Act of ParLarnent; on this ground the pension was
reduced to 1;4/. Considering that for a great numt
of years, eertrin extra dutes had brew imposed upon
Mr. Reeves, which though he might fair), aed leeeila
have reused t erforrn teem, he had aischarged mite rhe
greatest sal genet., he thought he might have le- en fairly
had I entiiled, under another clause of the Act of
ment, to some additional allowance ; at all events, hie re-
tirrrg income should n, t have been reduced from 45/. to 241.
It appeared by the petition of Mr. Reeves the he claim4d
a re taing pension of 6-12ths under the Act of Parliament,
not merely in relation to h.s salary but in relation
to the emoluments of his office, amounting to twice
the amount of his salary. The Treasury rejected the claim
altogether, on the ground that the per centages were not
emoluments within the legal meatang of the Act of Par-
liament which regulated those pensions. if the Coveter-
merit were right in that opinion, he admitted Mr. Reeves
had no clai n. But if it should appear, as he would
venture to say he should be stale to make it appear, that

he should not appeal in vain when he asserted
that the case must undergo reconsideration, and be
submitted either to a Committee or the Law Offic. re of
the Crown. The Act of Parliament which regulated the
superannuation allowances was the 4th and 5,h if William
IV., chap. 24, and the case of Mr. Reeves came
within the provisions of the 9th section of that Ac'.
He would read to the House the answer Mr. Reeves had
received, after some correspondence with the Government,
and many applications, and, as Mr. Reeves hoped, after
much serious consideration of his case by the Government.
The letter was dated June 16, 1837, from the Board of
Stamps and Taxes, and set forth fully the grounds on
which the pension was granted and limited. (The
Hon. and Learned Gentleman then read the lever.)
It appeared to him that the simple question was, whetter r
the Board was right in saying that the per eerie
tage came under the head of emoluments or not. It
appearei to him c'e,r that the Board had proceeded
upon an erroneous view of the case. The Government
taxed him upon his commission not for his salary only, but
for his salary and emoluments. So also under the in-
come tax, he was charged not for his salary alone, but
also for his emoluments. Now, he would defy any lawyer
to say that a strict construction was to be put upon an Act
of Parliament when against a party, and otherwise when
in his favour. He would say but one word more with re-
gard to the law of the ease. He could assure Hon. Gen-
tlemen he would not have spoken at such length if he did
not feel that the case was that of a very deserving man, of
whom he begged to sate he had no personal knowledge
whatever, nor di i he come from that part of the country
which he (Mr. Kelly) was acquainted with; he had been
merely recommended to him by a gentleman who knew of
the hardship of his case. The Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman here proceeded to read the opinion of Sir William
Follett, which hid been given in favour of Mr. Reeves's
case, and concluded by saying, if the question wer re-
ferred to a Committee, he could prove every statement
which was made in the petition.
Mr. PARKER said that the Government acted in this
case according to what had invariably been the practice of
the Treasury ; and, in support of this statement, read ex-
tracts from a correspondence which took place between
the Board of Taxes and the Treasury in July, 1812. In
that correspondence the Board of Taxes stated that a sur-
veyor's salary amounted to 90/. a year ; to which there
was an additional salary of 201. also yearly ; and the
Board aished to know from the Lords of the Treasury
whether the superannuation pension should be extended to
the latter portion of the salary. It appeared from the
Treasury minutes that the Lords of the Treasury were of
opinion that the superannuation pension ought to be ea-
tended to the salary of ninety pounds, but that
the smaller salary should be excluded. That cor-
respondence showed that the point had before arisen;
and that the superannuation allowance was settled on
the permanent salary of 90/., and that it did not in-
clude those sums of poundage and per tentage which his
Hon. Friend sought to have admitted into the present al-
lowance. Since that period the practice had uniformly
been to allow the pension on the permanent salary only.
Mr. Reeves entered the public service in 1813 or 1814,
and he could not therefore say that he was injured by a
rule which had been subsequently introduced. The prac-
tice of the Treasury was now as he found it when he en-
tered upon the office ; and he had no right therefore to
complain. In denying the claims of Mr. Reeves, he begged
it to be understood that tire Government cast no impute.-
tams upon hire, he might have suffered a grievr net; but
(Ada ue'rr errbject to that s hit h ether pub-
lic s:rve.r. vaa. 9•te course fee Treasury hsu pursued
in this case, they were only following what ;had been
adopted for the last twelve years.
Lord TEIGNMOUTH supported the motion. The
ground that had been taken by the Hon. Gentleman who had
just sa-. down, was quite different to that taken by his
Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer last
year. The present Surveyors of Taxes had been placed
upon the same footing that they wished Mr. Reeves to be
placed upon; and he trusted, therefore, that his Right
Hon. Friend would reconsider the case, and accede to the
motion.
Mr. SANFORD thought Mr. Reeves had not been
treated with that justice which he deserved. Mr. Reeves
had, when in office, 3001. a year, and he was not at the
present moment, with his superannuation allowance, in the
receipt of more than 30/. a ear.
Mr. F. BARING said the question had been three
times before the House, and in each case the House had
come to the same decision. There was no doubt that if
they had consulted the Law Officers of the Crown upon
this matter, they might have construed those emoluments
as emoluments under the Act. But he contended that the
Treasury had always had entire discretion in those cases
to make whatever general rules they thought proper. Ir
was not an ordinary case of superannuation, and not
being included in the Act, the Treasury might, if they
pleased, have refused to grant a pension.
Mr. HUME :aid that he had some years since strongly
condemned the vexatious sysrcm of emoluments, by Thiel)
the officers ore re enabled to raise their salaries from 100/.
to 2001. or 3001. a year. He represented it to the House
as an oppressive system, and he beiievel it was partly in
censequence of that that the system was put an end to.
It clearly appeared from the precedents which had bean
cited that there was not the least necessity for any further
inquiry.

Mr KELLY would detain the Huse for a single mo-
ment to correct an error into which the Hon. Gentleman
had fallen. This question had been treated as if under the
terms of the Act of Parliament the Government had the
discretion either to grant an-allowance or to withhold it.
He denied that any such discretion- was vested i i the Go-
vernment under the Act of Parliament. There was
a discretion as to the sum, but none as to whether an al-
lowance should be granted. The individual was just as
much entitled to an allowance as any Hon. Gentleman was
entitled to the rents of his own estate. He had heard that
statement with this greatest aotonithment, and he truster
that the House would not be induced to alnction it.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
House divided, when there appeared--
