MEASURES.

Sir ROBERT PEEL would take that opportunity of
putting a question to the lion. Member for Ashton-
under-Lyne (Mr. Colquhoun), or if the Hon. Gentleman
was not in the House, he might put the question to some
gentleman who usually acted with the Hon. Member.
The Hon. Member for Ashton-under-Lyne had given
notice that he would, on Monday next, move an amend-
ment to the motion that the Speaker leave the Chair cn
the House going into Committee on the question of the
commercial policy of the country. He wished to know
if the Honourable Gentlemen would put the House in
possession of the heads of his amendment.—(Hear.)
There no answer given to the question ; Mr. Colqu-
houn was not in the House.
CUBA.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to know if any further
correspondence had been received with reference to the
affairs of Cuba.
Sir R. PEEL said he thought there had been.
Lord J. RUSSELL—Is there any objection to its
being laid on the table ?
Sir R. PEEL said ho would give an answer on a
future day.
THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. CHAPMAN.

Mr. WODEHOUSE said, that in moving for a copy
of the warrant, or other document, by which Mr. Chap-
man had been appointed Chief Judge of the Supreme
Court of New Zealand, he would take leave, in the
first place, to make known to the House that he
entertained no hostile feeling towards Mr. Chapman.
It was due to that gentleman, who had received
the highest testimonials from the Hon. Member for Lis-
keard, the Hon. Member for Cumberland, the Hon.
Member for Bath, and the Hon. Member for Westmin-
ster, to state that he (Mr. Wodehouse) believed that
the Noble Lord, the late Secretary for the Colonies,
was perfectly justified in making the appointment.
In bringing his name before the public ho was actuated
by no hostile motives, but he was compelled to do so,
because in his report, laid before Parliament, there were
innumerable errors of such a serious nature that it was
impossible for any one to pass them over. The Hon.
Member then read several quotations from Mr. Chapman's
reports with respect to the price of wheat from the year
1800 to that of 1815, which quotations he denied to be
correct. Mr. Chapman, in speaking of the price of
wheat in 1800, said that it happened to be rather
less dear than the preceding year, while the
fact was that it averaged seventy-five per cent. less.
He also said that he had no means of judging the pre-
cise quantity of foreign grain which might be let in from
the Baltic, Poland, and Russia ;/but he considered that
a considerable quantity might be expected from Poland.
He also begged leave to call the attention of the House
to another extract. The King of Prussia says, with
respect to the duty on corn, that their Government
would not meet the English Government much
longer in free interchange of commercial com-
modities. He thought the English Govern-
ment were the occasion of creating the unnatural
price of wheat. He would say that he believed there
were various parties, and among them the Hon. Mem-
ber for Durham (Mr. Bright), who held the opinion that
the King of Prussia was right in doing what he pleased
wit the corn of his country. He hoped that the Parlia-
ment of this country would recollect that for 45 years
they supported themselves without the aid of foreign corn.
He believed that the Government were leagued with
the League, and totally indifferent to the interest and
the prosperity of the country. He would now pass to
the other document which he moved for, he meant the
copy of a paper published in the United States. It was a
dispatch from H. U. Addington, Esq., to Mr. Secretary
Canning, dated at Washington, on the 13th ofAugust 1827,
Nothing could be more conclusive than that letter, and
there was this remarkable fact, that neither Mr. Charles
Bold (now Sir Charles Bold), nor Sir Charles Begot,
nor Lord Dudley, made any allusion whatever at that
time to the subject of corn. The question related to
Swedish iron, hammered iron, and bar iron. Corn, in
fact, was never mentioned. The concluding paragraph
of Mr. Addington's dispatch was to the effect that he had
only to add, that had any restriction on the importation
of foreign corn existed in Great Biioin, the tariff would
never have passed either House of the Legislature, be-
cause the agricultural states, and especially Pennsyl-
vania, would have opposed its ultimate enactment,"
erasing from that passage all that had reference to the
other states of Europe—erasing from that passage every
syllable that showed the division of opinion, and
leaving it to stand as if it had reference to this country
alone. Ile remembered having had a conversation with the
late Sir Charles Bagot, and another with Sir Stratford
Canning, on the subject, and he would undertake to say
that it was his firm belief, that in the history of the
country or of anything in which her Majesty was ever
concerned, there never was a stratagem more un-
worthy of any man that professed to hold the
situation of a gentleman; he had utterly disabused
the powers which had been assigned to him.
He would ask whether any Member of that House, pos-
sessing gentlemanly feeling, could justify that ? He
would now call attention to the evidence given before the
Import Duties Committee, in the year 1804. He was most
unwilling to trespass on the time of the House with this
subject • but he would be able to show that throughout
the whole of this evidence he w ould be able to maintain
his position, and it seemed to him that the Chairman

There was another point connected with this subject to
which he should wish to refer. In the same report he
found an observation from Dr, Harding, to whom was

committed the examination into the state of the hand-
loom weavers in the east of Scotland. Dr. Hard-
ing expressed himself thus :—"The only remedy
universally suggested by the Yeavers and their em-
ployers was the total repeal of the present com-laws."
He had already stated the reason why he thought a
measure of this kind would be inimical to the
interests of the hand-loom wearers. Notwithstanding

the excitement and prejudice existing among weavers on
this subject—an excitement fostered by political agita-
tion—the more intelligent persons were aware that a
repeal of these laws would have an injurious effect
on agriculture. This would ultimately injure
the weavers themselves, by diminishing the de-
mand for textile manufactures. How far their

commerce might be checked by foreign powers, who
desired to encourage their home manufactures,
must be left to the wisdom of the Legislature to ascer-
tain. He did not wish to occupy the time of the House,
and he would, therefore, at once move for a copy of the
warrant, or other document of authority, by which 11.
S. Chapman, Esq., Assistant Commissioner under the
Commission appointed to inquire into the condition of
the hand-loom weavers, and acting in that capacity in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1838, was afterwards ap-
pointed Chief Judge of the Supreme Court at Wellington,
in New Zealand, in 1343. Also the papers relating to
tariffs published in the United States, and presented in
pursuance of an address of the ISth July, 1328, viz.
Copy of a dispatch from 11. U. Addington, Esq.,
to Mr. Secretary Canning, dated Washington, May 30th,
1844, and of Mr. Vaughan to Viscount Dudley, dated
Washington, August 13, 1827, with other inclosures.
1)r. BOWRING said, that perhaps he might be al-
lowed to say a word or two, as he had been alluded to
by the honourable Member who had just sat down.
Ha would pass over the rather personal allusions to
himself, and merely allude to the communication re-
ceived from a lady who seemed to have prac-
tised somewhat largely on the Hon. Member's credulity.
While he was in Cairo he had the honour of receiving
many communications from the people of that city on
the subject. Mehemet Ali believed that he could regu-
late the price of corn by legislation, and issued a decree
that no more than a certain price should be paid for it.
He (1)r. Bowring) in the friendly intercourse with which
he was honoured, presented to Mehemet Ali a state-
ment that the coast quence of that measure would be
very likely an extensive and enduring state of public
distress. The distress did become very great in conse-
quence of that measure. The decree restricting the price
of corn, beans, and bread at the bazaars, had the effect of
producing extreme suffering in the City. The owners
of corn would not bring it into the market, and the
bakers refused to bake any broad. He (I)r. Bowring) had
the good fortune to convince Mehemet Ali that his theory
of protection was very injurious, and a decree was issued
allowing that imports and exports of foreign corn should
be free. The effect of that measure was that the distress
was at once alleviated, and he had the honour of receiv-
ing the thanks of Mehemet Ali for his advice.
Had a repeal of the corn-laws been earlier introduced he
believed that a majority of the Members of this House
would have been found to support the system in which
he for one felt a very great interest, and which he hoped
would shortly become the law of the land. He had
been sent to ascertain the feeling of the northern
Governments with regard to the introduction of
British manufactures, and he found an evident feeling
to give every facility to that introduction, and the law
that would allow of the introduction of their produce
with England would evidently increase that feeling, to
. .

the benefit of our commercial interests. He rejoiced to
hear the llon. Baronet at the head of the Government
say that he was weary of making applications to foreign
nations for the admission of our manufactures. He (Dr. B.)
considered that we should set an example on this point.
—(Hear, hear.) Before we healed other men's diseases
we should look to our own. We should reform our own
tariffs before we complained of those of other nations.
He was therefore glad to have the opportunity of thank-
ing the Right Honourable Baronet tor what he had al-
ready done, and he sincerely trusted that he would not
be deterred from proceeding in the course which had
been adopted by any injudicious observations on either
side of the House. lie felt assured that there was every
disposition among foreign communities to respond to his
good feelings. And it there were any doubt of the fact
every one who, like himself, had received communications
from, foreign communities,could bear ample testimony that
no change had occurred in disposition. If they required
any additional informaton with respect to the feel-
ings to which he had alluded, he was quite sure that the
Right Ilon. Baronet would take the trouble to ascertain
the tine principles of business and would condescend to
appoint teachers. Ile was certain that in future there
would be no deficiency of apt pupils.
The motion was then put and agreed to.
Mr. BROTHERTON (on the part of Mr. Elpbin-
stone) then moved for a return of the gross and net
incomes (in the years 1844 and 1845) of the archbishops
and bishops of England and Wales, whether arising
from theia archbishoprics and bishoprics, or from any
other ecclesiastical preferment, or from any other lay or
spiritual office held by them respectively, stating
how much arises from each of such sources,
and distinguishing all sums paid to or received from
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners; also, stating by how
much such total income of each archbishop or bishop
is greater or less than the incomes proposed in the pre-
amble of the Act 6 and 7 Will 4, cap. 77. Return of
the name.of each archbishop and bishop, and the date
of their appointment to their respective sees. On the
motion being put,
Mr. COLLETT saip that he begged to give notice
for leave to bring in a Bill similar to that which he
brought under the attention of the House during the
last session: he meant that for the consolidation
of the two bishoprics of Bath and Wells. He
conceived that in this case there was no claim
for compensation, for during the seven years
one of two circumstances must have occurred :
either the duties of the two sees had been efficiently
performed, and in that ease there was no necessity for
two bishops, or they had not been efficiently performed,
and the Government neglected their duty: He felt,
however, obliged to take the former alternative, and to
believe that the duties had been efficiently performed;
and that the diocesan had not been embarrassed by the
amount of duties thrown upon his hands. And he (Mr.
Collett) therefore trusted ti-at the suggestion which he
now threw out would meet with the attention it deserved.
according to his view the establishment of the Bishops
in the House of Lords was the concentrated essence of
all that was bad and objectionable. lle considered them
useless both to the laity and to the Crown. The mo-
tion was then agreed to.
LOCAL TAXATION.

Mr. WODEHOUSE moved that the return relative
to local taxation, viz., poor rates, county rates, highways,
and church rates, being No. 562, of 1839, bo reprinted.
—Ordered.
On the motion of Sir C. NAPIER, the following
Committee on district asylums was nominated—Sir
Charles Napier, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Wakley, Mr.
Williams, Mr. Hume, Colonel Wood, Mr. Pattison, Mr.
Beckett Denison, Mr. Manners Sutton, Mr. Henry
Baillie, Mr. Acland, Captain Carnegie, Mr. James
Hamilton, Mr. Neville, and Mr. William Cripps.
An HONOURABLE MEMBER asked what were the in.
tentions of the Government respecting the existing state
of the laws relating to turnpike roads in Wales.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM could not see the advantage
that would arise by bringing in any measure on the
subject, or by the appointment of a select committee,
which would create enormous expenses.
Sir CHARLES NAPIER rose to introduce a Bill
relative to the civil department of the navy, which was
postponed until Tuesday week.
THE. SUGAR DUTIES.
In answer to a question proposed by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL,
Sir R. PEEL said that it was not the intention of her
Majesty's Government to introduce the question of the
sugar duties before the sense of the House was taken on
the other articles of food mentioned in his speech on the
commercial policy of the Governmont during the present
session.

THE IRISH ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. F. FRENCH was informed, in answer to a ques-
tion which he proposed to the Right Hon. Baronet the
Secretary for Ireland, that it was the intention of the
Government to repay out of the consolidated fund the
sum of 60,0001. which had been borrowed from the
Board of Works by the Irish Ecclesiastical Commission.
PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
NEW WRIT.

Mr. MILES would wish to know from the Right Hon.
Baronet at the head of her Majesty' Government, whe •
ther an Hon. Member of that House had resigned his
seat, and had accepted office under the Government, and
if so, what that office was, and whether a new writ had
been moved for?

Sir R, PEEL said he had heard that the Honourable
Member alluded to by his llenonrable Friend (Lord
Ashley) had retired, and that he had also accepted office
under the Oovernment, and that that office was a.steward-
ship of the Chiltern Hundreds.—(Laughter.) There
were certain forms to be gone through before a new
writ could be moved for to fill the place vacated by the
Noble Lord.—(Hear, hear.)
CHARITABLE TRUSTS.

Mr. TRELAWNEY inquired if the Government
intended to brimg in any Bill this session with respect to
charitable trusts?
Sir J. GRAHAM said the Lord Chancellor would
bring in a Bill on the subject on a future day.
The llouFe then adjourned.

SUMMAIIY.

The House sat at Four o'clock.

Mr. MOSTYN, for Lichfield, Mr. STUART, for Newark,
and Mr. SPENCER WALPOLE, for Midhurst, took the
oaths and their seats.

Several petitions were presented for Railway Bills.

A new writ was ordered for Chichester, in the room
of Lord Atyruint LENNOX, who had accepted the
stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds.
Sir R. PEEL adverted to the alteration he had pro-
posed to make in the tariff, observing that, as to timber,
no alteration would be made till the sth of April, 1847•
That he then proposed there should be a duty on hewn
timber of 55., and on sawn 55., and with re-
spect to spars he proposed no alteration at present.
The Right Ron. Baronet then asked Mr. COLQUIIOUN,
or any of the lion. Members who acted with him, what
was the nature of the amendment which they intended
to propose on Monday in opposition to the Ministerial
proposition, but no answer was returned.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE moved for a return of the incomes
during the years 1844 and 1845 of the archbishops and
bishops of England and Wales, stating by how much
the income of each bishop is greater or less than the in-
comes proposed in the preamble of the Act 6 and 7
WILLIAM IV., cap. 77. . . _

Mr. COLLETT thought that the bishops sitting in the

Douse of Lords was the concentrated essence of all that
was objectionable and bad.

The motion was the agreed to.
Mr. ItionunousE moved for cortain returns with
respect to local taxation, which were agreed to.
Sir CHARLES NAPIER obtained leave to bring in
a Bill to amend the laws relating to the Civil Depart-
ment of the navy.

Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr.
JOLLIFFE, said it was not the intention of the Govern,
ment to bring in a Bill with respect to the consolidation
of turnpike trusts in England and Wales, during the
present session.
Mr. EwAnT, at the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM,
postponed his motion with respect to Van Diemen's
Land, which stood for Thursday, to a future day.
Mr. WOODHOUSE moved for a copy of the warrant, or
other document of authority, by which H. S. CHAPMAN,
Esq., Assistant-Commissioner under the commission
appointed to inquire into the condition of hand-loom
weavers, and acting in that capacity in the West Riding
of Yorkshire in 1838, and was afterwards appointed
Chief Judge of the Supreme Court at Willington, in
New Zealand, in 1843, and for other papers connected
with that subject.—Ordered.
Mr. 'MILLS wished to know whaher Lord ASHLEY
had accepted any office under the Crown, as he under-
stood he had resigned his seat. •
Sir E. PEEL said the Noble Lord had. He had ac-
cepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Mr. MILLS observed, that if such was the case he
should move for a new writ for Dorsetshire.
Sir B. PEEL said the Hon. Member could not do that
until certain forms had been gone through.
The Public Works (Ireland)l.3lllwas read a third time
and passed.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM,Iin answer to a question, said that

it was the intention of the Lord Chancellor, on an early

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Nine Price Current of Feb. 3.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market for West Indian Muscovado
Sugar presented a firm appearance, and the quantity on show
was small, especially of the bright yellow and strong refining
description. There was a good business transacted in all
sorts, and the rates paid were fully equal to those of Friday.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade, and prices slightly gave way;
Brown Lumps, according to quality, selling at 62s to 635,
and Standard Lumps at 63s 6d to G4s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is much wanted for forward delivery at 34s
per cwt for first quality.
MAURITIUS.--'!'his afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
attention, and 680 bags 150 casks at auction were sold at full
rates: fine yellow brought 538 to 53s 6d, good 51s 6d to
528 6d, middling 49s 6d to 50s 6d, low 48s to 495, washed 48s
to 48s 6d, syrupy 49s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 8,402 bags, were submitted to public
competition, and nearly the whole found buyers—yellow
brought full rates, brown went rather higher, whilst prices
declined 6d per cwt for white.
FonEiciv.—The market has assumed a dull appearance for
yellow Ilavannali Sugar, and former rates cannot be obtained;
there are sellers of low to middling quality at 22s to 23s Gd,
and good to fine at 24s to 26s per cwt, but scarcely any
business has been transacted. White has been neglected,
and prices are nominal at 30s to 38s for low to fine quality.
Brown is dull of sale at 20s to 22s per cwt. Although Brown

quality. All other kinds of Foreign are difficult of sale.
