THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, rEBRUARY 4, lig&

Cocos.—The market is still improving for all de-
scriptions of Vest India, and the supply is diminishing,
whilst the consumption is larger. None has been sub-
mitted to public sale this week, but privately several
purchases have been made, and at further reduced rates,
Trinidad red selling at 48s to 525, grey 46s to 495, and
Grenada 45s to 475. In Foreign the operations are upon
a more extended scale, and at stiffer rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 29 bags,
and 63 casks of Plantation Ceylon Coffee went off briskly
at 2s per cwt advance, good bold colory fetched 65s to
68s, good middling 60s to 635, middling 55s to 59s 6d,
low middling 525, fine fine ordinary 44s to 475, fine
ordinary 40s, good ordinary 35s to 38s, and damaged
32s to 425. Of Native 359 bags were taken in at 343 6d
for ordinary, and at If s to 18s for triage, being above
the value. 149 bags of Dutch Company's at sils for
fine bold yellow.
TEA.—Prices cannot be quoted higher for black, as
the market is more freely supplied, but a good demand
has been experienced for all descriptions, and the rates
paid are fully equal to those previously current. The
demand is brisk for all kinds of green, and previous
improved prices are well sustained, whilst on the part
of holders there is confidence; indeed in some cases
stiffer rates are obtained. Pekoe Teas are more in re-
quest, and former quotations are well sustained. The
quantity of Tea disposed of this week is far greater
than in the previous one. The public sales of 26,540
pkgs have been well attended, and 15,000 packages were
disposed of out of 25,000 pkgs passed.
RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of Rice, and
the purchases made by private treaty were of little
moment in all sorts. For auction 4,000 bales and 2,530
pckts of Bengal are declared, and 3,000 begs of Madras.
FRIIIT.—The demand generally has considerably im-
proved this week. In Currants a large business has
been done at the quotations; at present the importers
are firmer in their demand; good and fine Valentias are
scarce and wanted; there are two or three cargoes here
being held for higher prices. Muscatels in layers are
much inquired after; there are none left on hand. Denias
in baskets—some large sales have been made this week
at Ms to 325, and about 4,000 cases old Chesme Raisins
at 31s to 325.

SPICES.—For Nutmegs the demand is not so good thi,
week, and we have to announce a fall in prices of Id to
2d. At auction 45 packages were chiefly sold. The
supply this week mostly consisted of the lower sorts.
Mace cannot be quoted higher, but the sales con-
cluded privately are upon a more extended scale.
For Pimento the demand privately has been good, and
previous improved rates are well sustained, whilst the
supply is less plentiful. On the part of holders of
Cloves there is firmness, but the sales made are of little
moment privately. Holders of Black Pepper have con
fidence, and the supply continues to decrease, whilst the
demand is on the increase.

SPIRITS,—There has been much enquiry after all de
scriptions of Jamaica Rum this week, but in consequence
of the advanced rates insisted apon, purchases of moment
have been prevented. In Leeward Island purchases are
prevented by the reluctance of holders to sell, Prices
continue on the advance, and the sales continue to 200
puns at is 10d to Is lOid proof. East India is wanted
at Is 9d to Is 9kd, proof with certificate, but few sellers
are to be met with. The stiff rates that are required
in Demerara caused the sales to be of little
moment, and 3s 2d to 3s 6d is the value of strong
There is firmness on the part of holders of Brandy. and
the demand keeps good, whilst the stock is on the de-
crease. In the value of Geneva there is uo variation to
make known this week, the supply is small. To day
the Rum market had a quiet appearance in consequence
of Government not proposing any change in the duties,
and former rates were not to obtained for any sort.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of ast India will com-
mence on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is 10,133
chests. On the part of holders there is firmness, and a
fair demand exists, whilst the rates paid exhibit an ad-
vance on those of the last quarterly sale of from 2d
to 4,1 per lb. For Spanish former prices are well sus-
tained.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a good de-
mand, and 59 bags of Mexican at public sale were sold
a,t 4s 6d to 4s 7d for low silvers, and which is the full

value.

TURPENTINE. - Prices are still on the advance for
Spirits, whilst the demand is animated, and the supply
is falling off. Rough is in much better request, and
fetches 8s 6d, indeed some parties will not sell at that
rate, and there is only a moderate supply. Of Swedish
Tar the stock is light, and the demand being good,
buyers are compelled to pay 20s to 21s per barrel.
Ou.s.—This afternoon Cocoa Nut was in limited de-
mand, and 56 tons of fine Cochin at auction were all
withdrawn ; 21 casks of Palm all sold at 32s 3d to
328 61 for fine ; 25 tuns of southern 291 lOs to 31s.

TALLow.—This afternoon the public sales went off
with spirit, and at high rates ; 625 pkgs of South
American were sold—fine quality at 49s 9d to 50s 9d,
good 48s to 49s 6d, low and middling 43s 9d to-46s 9d
per cwt.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

On the motion of Mr. TUFNELL, it was or
dered that the House at its rising do adjourn til
Monday.

NEW ZEALAND BILL.

Mr. LABOUCHERE postponed the second read-
ing of the New Zealand Bill till Wednesday next, as
he was desirous it should not interfere with the ad-
journed debate on the West India question.
WEST INDIES.—ADJOURNED DEBATE.

CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.
On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned
debate being read,
Mr. B. COCH.RANE rose, and said he wished to
ask a question of the Secretary of State for the Home
Department on a subject which, he believed, the
House would consider one of the utmost im•
portance, as it involved questions of justice,
as well as the characters of many Members of the
House—namely, whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to bring in any Bill to amend
the law with respect to the way in which inquiries
into election petitions were at present conducted ?
His object in asking this question was on account
of the hardships to which Members were exposed
whose returns were petitioned against, and
the allegations contained therein were proved not to
be well founded. Notwithstanding such a decision
might be come to, the person petitioned against was
liable for the expenses to which he might have been
put. It was true, the Committee had the power to
decide that the petitions were " frivolous and vexatious,"
when the expenses would fall upon the petitioners,
but they all knew that they never came to such a
decision unless a very vexatious case had been offered.
There was another point which he also considered
of great importance. A party going into Com-
mittee was kept in ignorance of the nature
of the charges which were to be brought against
him, and therefore it was totally impossible for him to
have witnesses at hand who might be able to rebut
them. He might have witnesses in town, but those
he might require were perhaps absent. He thought
that in these tribunals the principle followed in the
courts of law should be adopted. Every person
brought to trial was informed of the nature of the
charge against hitn, and the witnesses that would be
called.

Sir G. GREY said it was not the intention of the
Government to bring i❑ a Bill to effect the purposes
meutioned by the Hon. Member. The Committees
were invested with a discretion to order costs, and if
a person applied for them they might exercise
their discretion on the subject. Great danger and
difficulty could not fail to arise if the person
entitled to costs was to named! The reason Com-
mittees did not frequently grant costs was
because they were not often applied for, as
the !parties consenting to withdraw made
some arrangement on tthe subject. By the pre-
sent arrangements a list of the objections against
voters were given to the Committee of eletions
and by the statement must be accompanied with the
heads of all the objections. The Chairmen of the
Committees were empowered to fix rules for the con-
ducting of the inquiry.
In reply to Mr. DISRAELI,
Lord PALMERSTON stated that two Com-
missioners had been dispatched to the River Plate,
one on the part of France, and the other of this
country ; and, pending their negotiations, it would
be disadvantageous to lay the various documents on
the table. When they were brought to a termination,
he should have no objection to lay the correspondence
before the House.

POOR LAWS (IRELAND).
Mr. P. SCROPE wished to know when any
further report from the Poor-law Commissioners
of Ireland would be laid upon the table of the House,
and whether any proceedings was being taken by the
Government, whether by indictment or otherwise,
against those parties who were opposing the proper
administration of the poor- laws in that country.
Sir W. SOMMERVILLE said that no time
would be lost in laying the documents referred to
before the House. With respect to the second
question if the Hon. Member would name any de-
finite case and put a notice on the paper, he
would take care to give him an answer upon the sub-
ject.
ADJOURNED DEBATE—SUGAR AND
COFFEE PLANTING.
Mr. J. WILSON stated that it was his intention
to confine his remarks to the subject which the
Noble Lord had in view in bringing forward the
motion. He would confine his remarks ex-
clusively to the interests of the cultivators of
sugar in the East and West Indies. He was satis-
fied to place the whole merits of the question upon
the interests of the West India planters themselves,
and the demands which they were now making for
increased protection, and the power of the Govern-
ment to afford that increased protection. The de-
mands of the West Indians might be summed up in
the language of one of the documents of the West
India body itself. Their arguments might be stated
as being four in number:-Ist, they said that as moral
considerations compel them to prohibit the introduction
of slave produce,so moral considerations compelled them
to prohibit slavery ; secondly, that slave labour was
cheaper than free labour, and to expect them to
compete with slave labour confining them to free
labour was both unequal and unjust; thirdly, that
the exclusion of slave-labour sugar would be a pro-
tection to the British Cotonist planter ; and, fo:rt:ly,
that the Government had the power of so protecting
the colonies by excluding or placing a higher
rate of duty upon Brazilian sugar.—(Hear.)
It was impossible to deny in every country the rela-
tions subsisting between the employer and the em-
ployed were daily improving. As civilization advanced
slavery disappeared. They had a proof of this in
the history of theirlown country, for he need go no
further back than 30 years ago to show that the rela-
tions which then subsisted between the employer and
the employed by no means coincided with the
moral sentiments and social feelings of the present
day. But he apprehended that those conscientious
gentlemen who supported this question in that House,
and who were anxious to exclude the produce of
Cuba and Brazils, would equally object to the intro-
duction of the produce from any other coun-
try where slavery was to be found in one
shape or another. He apprehended that the principle
upon which those gentlemen took their stand would
exclude the produce of Russia from this country, for
in that kingdom slavery existed. It would be incum-
bent upon those gentlemen, if they wished to be
thought consistent, to resist the iatroduction of the
produce of Egypt, for there was no severer slavery to be
found in any part of the world than existed in Egypt,
nor could these gentlemen consistently allow the

be, if they were anxious to observe consistency, they
United States, and many other countries, if they refused
The great practical question, however, they had to
forward in the first instance, namely, that free
labour was dearer than slave labour. Now in
estimating the various qualities of labour it was
difficult to tell to what extent the cost of free labour
could be reduced. For example, upon the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, locomotive labour, which three
years ago cost 2s. 10d. per mile, at the present time
did not cost more than one shilling; so that it was
utterly impossible to determine to what extent the
cost of free labour could be reduced. But he found
in various letters and pamphlets that had been pub-
lished on the colonies, it was stated that in Trinidad
and the Mauritius the cost of free labour in
producing work by the piece was much less than
slave-labour would have cost during the existence of
slavery in the British colonies. In referring to
the Mauritius, he found there was this striking
fact, showing that at all events, whatever distress
they might labour under, they had nothing
to complain of free labour, for it ap-
peared that by slave labour each man pro-
duced about three quarters of a ton of sugar per
year, while of free-labour they produced one ton.
Perhaps the most conclusive evidence in favour of
free labour was to be found in sugar cultivations in
the East for the last 20 years. In Java 2 0 years ago
they had not produces enough for their own con-
sumption. In 1826 1,000 tons was produced an-
nually, while last year they produced 75,000 tons.
In Singapore and Penang Sugar was produced
at a-lower rate than in any part of the world, and, in
order to show how free trade had operated there, he
wouldread a short and instructive letter on the
subject.
