THE SUGAR DUTIES.
GLASGOW PETITION.
GLASGOW, TrrunsbAy.—Yesterday the following petition
to the House of Commons was laid down at the bar of the
Royal Exchange. It was numerously and respectably
signed in the course of a few hours, and transmitted for pre-
sentation in the evening:—
" To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland in Parliament assembled—
" The Petition of the undersigned Merchants, Bankers,
Manufacturers, Shipowners, and other Inhabitants of
the City of Glasgow.
" Sheweth,
" That your petitioners hail with the greatest satisfaction,
tke plan submitted to your Honourable House by her Ma-
jesty's Government, for the settlement of the sugar duties.
•' The amount and duration of protection accorded to the
colonies are ample and liberal, exceeding in both respects
what many of your petitioners had anticipated ; and, while
they trust it will put an end to everything like unreasonable
opposition, they are confident it will confer great benefit on
the public, and the trade of the country, in general.
" May it therefore please your Honourable House to
pass the said Bill, as it is of great consequence it
should become the law as soon as possible."
