THE SUN, LONDON,

PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.

thirdly, it *as probable, from the state of the continent
that a great portion of the sugar in the foreign ware-
houses would be brought to this country in the first in-
stance. The stock in hand in the five chief ports of the
continent and this country in the present year, as com-
pared with the quantity held last year, was 143,000 tons
against 103,000 tons, being a difference of 40,000 tons
in favour of the present year. He did not, for these
reasons, expect any enhancement of price during the
present or following year. The Hon. Gentleman said
that the production of the colonies was equal to the con-
sumption in this country, and could be even more ; but
did not the Hon. Gentleman see that if the colonies pro-
duced more than we consumed in this country, the sur-
plus must go into foreign markets, and therefore that
the price must depend on the price in those markets?
But if, on the other hand, the colonies only pro-
duced for this country, and that at a high price, it
Was quite clear that the consumers would not stand
that high price, and that they would demand an
adherence to the principles of the Acts of 1844 and
1846. With regard to the effect of this measure on the
revenue, which it was said this proposal would endanger,
he could only ask, if their proposition was likely to have
any such effect, what would be the effect of the recom-
mendation of the Committee? The loss by their pro-

other point on which it was necessary for
question was, in what way permanent benefit toeeud'itduliceoTtnichoolyne-
be by a great consumption of sugar, and that that con-
in price.

Mr. K. SEYMER said his object was to force upon
the Government a reconsideration of this important
question. The Right Hon. Baronet at the head of
lute Government always appeared to him to entertain
the
sound and statesmanlike .
views on this question. He
viewed the question as one of justice. The state of the
colonies was awful. People were every day falling into
a lower grade. It was time for free-traders to retrace
their steps. Right as they might be in their decimals,
they were proved to be wrong in their millions. Their
policy had involved the West Indies in ruin. He con-
tended that we could naturally enough only rely upon
the loyalty of our West Indian population so long as
that population considered itself more prosperous and
consequently happier under our rule than it would be un-
der any other. It we systematically oppressed our colonies
our colonies would ultimately reject our rule, and either
seek a connexion with some other country or set up for
themselves. As to the slave trade, it was a mere farce to
suppose that while it continued to be so profitable a
commerce as it now was it would be given up. Cheap
sugar might, no doubt, be an excellent thing; but once
throw our colonial sugar estates oat of cultivation and
cheap sugar would no longer be attainable, for we should
be wholly at the mercy of the foreigner, and have to pay
a high price for slave-grown sugar. There was no
question that all our exertions and all our sacrifices to
put down the slave trade had only made matters in-
finitely worse than they were before. He was not pre-
pared to assent to the proposition that sugar was so
very wholesome an article of consumption. Sugar was
extensively used in the United States, especially by the
ladies, and it was notorious that no lady's teeth there,
after the age of thirty, would bear inspection. He
should give his decided support to the amendment of the
Hon. Baronet.

Mr. HUME concurred in the opinion that this was not
a question within the category of free trade, which sup-
posed that the parties acting upon it should be upon equal
terms. Mr. Deacon Hume, in his evidence before the
Committee, had given his decided judgment that while
the West Indies were placed upon as good terms, in re-
spect to free trade, as Cuba, Porto Rico, and other
foreign colonies, they could compete with the whole
world in the sale of their commodities; but that since
the emancipation, which had placed them upon an in-
equality with the slave labour sugar countries, they were
not in a position to compete, without something in •the
shape of protection, until they had secured an ample
supply of cheap labour. The whole annals of legisla-
tion did not present an example of such monstrous in-
justice as that which the Parliament of Great Britain
had inflicted upon the West Indies. Every eng'agement
we had made with them we had utterly violated, and an
intelligent witness before the Committee, Mr. Innes, had
distinctly stated that so gross had been the bad faith
of the Imperial Legislature towards the West Indies,
that the colonies had lost all faith and confidence in that
Legislature.—(Hear, hear.) As to slavery, there were
no means of putting it down but by rendering free labour
cheaper than slave labour; and this was the object
which the free-traders had always in view when
they advocated emancipation, fully convinced that free
labour, if it had a fair trial, would beat slave labour
in cheapness as in every other quality. His com-
plaint was that free labour had not had a fair trial.—
(Hear, hear.) He considered that all the distress of the
West Indies had resulted from our policy since 1834,
well-intentioned, no doubt, but wholly erroneous. He
denied that the engagement of 1834 had been fulfilled.
The full price had not been paid; for the captured slaves
under the treaty of search had been valued by arbitration
at a much higher sum; and had the West Indian slaves
been valued at that rate, they would have amounted to
101,919,0001. Besides paying below the value, the ap-
pronticeship had been curtailed—another instance in
which the engagement with the colonists had not been
carried out. Instead of offering around sum of twenty
millions, the colonists ought to have been heard as to the
measures which were necessary for giving due t ffect to
emancipation. The colonists were unable to act; they
were deprived of labour, one-third of that extracted
from the slaves being taken away. Proper regulations
were also needed, which were never made. So early
as 1836 Lord Glenelg had written a dispatch, urging the
importance of making provisions against squatting and
idleness, before the apprenticeship expired; thus show-
ing that it was then thought most important to keep up
the supply of labour. The want of that single article
had produced all the mischief to the colonists; they had
even been forbidden, by orders in Council, to bring la-
bourers from Africa, America, or anywhere else.—
(Hear.) They were not even allowed to get labourers
from Europe, could they have done so. The restric-
tions had been one by one relaxed, but without restoring
the supply of labour which had been cut off by these
orders in Council, secretly issued from the Colonial-office
without the authority of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.)

blame was wholly attributable to the Colonial-office,
which had been a nuisance from first to last.—(Laughter.)
Had the Colonial-office been locked up, and the colonies
allowed to manage their own affaira, without the petty
meddling and interference of ignorant men (for how
could Lord Grey or Mr. Hawes, though they might be
as clear-headed and sharp-sighted as anybody, know
intuitively what was requisite for the colonies?) they
would now have been in a very different state.—(Hear,
hear.) Why, every two years almost there had been a
fresh Colonial Minister, so that the colonists never knew
what they had to expect for two months together.--
(Hear, hear.) In one case rules had been drawn up, and
sent out for the regulation of the coolies, of which Lord
Harris observed that they were not wholly faultless.
Thereupon Earl Grey sent out an order immediately to
cancel the rules ; and the consequence was that the
coolies were seen dying in the highways with hunger.--
(Hear, hear.) The intentions of the Legislature in
passing the Emancipation Act were clear, from the
statements of Lord Stanley, the Duke of Wellington,
and others, all of whom contemplated the passing of
proper vagrancy Acts and other measures to secure a
due supply of labour. Notwithstanding all this, almost
as soon as the Act was passed difficulties had been
thrown in the way, which had since been increased, till
things had now come to the worst. It had been said
the high wages in the colonies were not the result of
the want of labour, but of the competition between the
colonies ; but it was clear the high wages
could only arise from a want of labour. As it was, the
negroes were the masters, and the masters had become
the servants; it was said the negroes went to their work
in cabs, and with silk umbrellas.---(Great laughter.) Ho
regretted that in the case of Guiana, Lord Grey had
stopped the supply of labourers, because the taxes were
not voted=--a very paltry pretext, in his opinion. Let
the colonies be placed in the situation in which it was
meant to place them in 1846. The Act of that year had
not produced, though it had much aggravated, their diffi-
culties. Why not allow the colonists now to go to Africa,
and obtain their own labour without the intervention of
Government? Now that the colonies were almost
ruined, was it not high time that something was done
for them? The plan of Government would have no
effect; it would be much better to let the colonists die
out at once. Let them have protection for a period
sufficiently long to restore their confidence, and to
enable them in the meantime to prepare themselves
to compete with other sugar-growing countries, and
thus give a fair chance to free labour. He believed
that no shorter period than ten years of protection
would suffice to place the colonies in a fair position.
But the Right Hon. Baronet asked how he was to make
up the loss in the revenue by adopting the proposal of the
Noble Lord. He would tell him how. Let the squa-
dron be withdrawn from the coast of Africa, and the
amount lost by the sugar duty would be saved in the
naval estimates. If something were not done soon the
colonies would relapse into a savage state, and this would
be a sad resullt for the sacrifices England had made. He
was satisfied the Government proposal would never
answer, and he therefore counselled the Noble Lord, if he
was not prepared to do more, to take the course pointed
out, and to leave the colonies to their fate. For these
reasons he was opposed to the resolutions of the Noble
Lord, taking it for granted that the Hon. Baronet would
follow up his amendment if carried by a definite propo-
sition.
Mr. M.OFFATT moved that the debate be adjourned.
—(Go on.)
Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. .
Mr. CARDWELL, before. the motion was put from
the chair, begged to point out that the number of stages
of the Bill, being a money Bill, required that no time
should be lost in carrying it forward before the sth of
July, otherwise the measure could not become law in
time to supersede the sugar duties, which would come
into operation on that day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed
that there was a difficulty in point of time; but the
acu ate to impede

Sir J. PAKINGTON protested against. such an

Viscount MORPETH moved that this Bill be read a
third time, which was agreed to.
Mr. HENLEY moved the following clause to be added
as a rider to the Bill :—" And be it enacted, that if it
shall appear to a majority of not less than three-fifths
of the rated inhabitants of any parish or place co ntain-
ing less than two thousand inhabitants on the then last
census, in which this Act shall not be in force, assembled
at a public meeting to be called as hereinafter provided,
that it would contribute to the health and conve-
nience of the inhabitants generally that a public
drain or sewer should be made, or a well dug, or a
pump provided, for the public use of the inha-
bitants, it shall be lawful for the church-
wardens and overseers to have an estimate of the cost of
making such drain, or digging such well, or providing
such pump, made, and to lay the same before another
public meeting to be called as is hereinafter provided ;
and if the same shall be approved and sanctioned by a
majority of not less than three- fifths of the meeting, it
shall be lawful for the churchwardens and overseers to
have the same, or any part thereof, sanctioned as afore-
said, executed, and to pay the costa thereof out of the
poor rates of the parish or place, provided always that
notice of any such meeting shall be given by the church-
wardens and overseers, as is by this Act provided to be
given of meetings to be holden by the superintending in-
spectors ; and the notice shall also contain a statement
of the work proposed or intended to be submitted for
the consideration and approval of the meeting.
Viscount MORPETIiI thought the clause would im-
pede the action of the Bill, but should not for that rea-
son object to its insertion.
Colonel SIBTHORP moved that the House do now
adjourn.
Viscount MORPETH hoped the Hon. and Gallant
Member would not persist in his motion.
Mr. URQUHART hoped that the Hon. and Gallant
Member would persist in his motion.
Mr. HUDSON hoped his Hon. and Gallant Friend I
would not persist in his motio b
n,but p
that he would er-
mit the measure to proceed, as it had been fully and
fairly discussed.
The clause was agreed to and added to the Bill, and
the Bill was passed.
The House adjourned at Twenty minutes to One.

-
THE WATERLOO BANQUET.
The anniversary of the battle of Waterloo having
this year occurred on a Sunday, the customary banquet
given by the Duke of Wellington to the officers who
participated in the glories of that great day was not cele-
brated until last evening.
As usual, the noble and gallant Duke received very
numerous congratulatory visits at Apsley House--Field-
Marshal Grosvenor, Marshal Viscount Beresford, the
Duke of Richmond, Sir William Verner, Viscount
Combermere, the Marquis of Londonderry, and many
other officers who served under his Grace; the Mar-
chioness Cornwallis, Viscountess Beresford, the Marquis
of Headfort, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady
Clementine Villiers, Lord and Lady Braybrooke, and in
fact a host of the aristocracy.
Soon after half-past six o'clock gallanttheas
invited to the entertainment began to veterans
.
his Ex-
cellency Count Kielmansegge, Lord SaMint:3,;Viscount
Hardinge, Sir Edward Kerrison, and Sir Andrew Bar-
nard being among the early arrivals.
In the inner hall, immediately communicating with
the grand staircase, was stationedthe
vvfuilhibcahn,ddouf nb:
Grenadier Guards (the Duke's regiment)
the arrival of the guests, played a variety of marches
and martial airs.
The Marquis of Anglesey, on being recognised by the
crowd, was loudly cheered, as also was Viscount Her-
dinge.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert,lattended by Major.-
General Bowles, Colonel E. Bouverie, and Colonel E. P.
Buckley, arrived at ten minutes after 7 o'clock. The
Prince was warmly greeted by the populace without, and
on alighting was welcomed by the Duke of Wellington,
by whom the Prince was conducted to the saloon in
which the majority of the Waterloo heroes had mustered.
The Prince Consort, on his arrival, was saluted by the
band playing the National Anthem.
Punctually at half-past seven the banquet was an-
nounced in the Waterloo-gallery, when the Prince Con-
sort and the illustrious host, followed by Prince Castel-
cicala, the Count Kielmansegge, the Marquis of Angle-
sey, and the remainder of the guests, passed into the
banqueting-room.
The Prince wore the uniform of Colonel of the Scots
Fusilier Guards; the Duke of Wellington, that of a
Field-Marshal, with the riband of the Order of the Bath;
the Marquis of Anglesey wore the uniform of the Royal
Horse Guards (Blue), as Colonel of that Regiment.
On the right of the Duke sat Prince Albert and the
Marquis of Anglesey; and on his left, his Excellency
Prince Castelcicala and his Excellency Count Kielman-
segge.
The table presented a gorgeous display of valuable
plate, the celebrated Portuguese plateau occupying the
centre. Ranged along the table were immense china
vases, gifts from the Emperor of Russia and King of
Prussia, filled with the choicest flowers, and the whole of
the fruit-dishes and ornaments were of solid gold. The
dessert service was the celebrated set of Dresden china,
a present from the King of Saxony. At the north
end of the gallery, the sideboard exhibited a varied
collection of gold plate, amid which was Flaxman's
shield, emblematic of the Duke's victories, the whole
being lighted from the superb candelabra presented to
his Grace from the citizens of London. The arrange-
ments were, in fact, with trifling difference, the same as
noticed on previous years.
In addition to the Duke there were present:—
Field-Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
the following Waterloo officers:—Field Marshal the
Marquis of Anglesey, MG., G.C.8., and G.C.H., Colonel

Covers were laid for eighty-four persons.
The Hon. and Rev. G. Wellesley, Rector of Strath-
fieldsaye, was present and said grace before and after
dinner.
The dessert having been placed on the table,
The Duke of WELLINGTON rose and proposed the
" health of their gracious Sovereign the Queen."
The toast was drunk with three times three.
The DUKE then rose and said, he would next give the
health of his illustrious guest who had honoured him
with his company—" The Health of the illustrious
Prince, the Consort of her Majesty, Prince Albert."
His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, in acknowledg-
ment, said, he was highly gratified at having the high
privilege to attend that annual festival to meet those
officers who had acted under their renowned chief. He
cordially thanked them for their kindness, and by their
permission he would propose to their notice " The
Health of the noble host, the illustrious Duke of Wel-
lington."
The announcement of his Grace's health was received
with enthusiastic cheering.
The Duke of Wellington bowed his respects to his as-
sembled guests.
The DUKE then gave—" The Army that fought the
Battle of Waterloo," which was responded to by the
heartiest cheers.
The DUKE said, the next toast he would give was one
always drunk in silence at these anniversary meetings.
It was—" To the Memory of those brave Companions in
Arms that fell at Waterloo."—The toast was drunk in
solemn silence.
The DUKE then rose to express the high sense of the
great services rendered by the cavalry at Waterloo,
under the command of his Noble Friend the Niarquis of
Anglesey. He would give " The Cavalry that fought at
Waterloo, and the Marquis of Anglesey."—(Cheers).
The Marquis of ANGLESEY rose and thanked his
Grace and his brother comrades for the honour conferred
on the cavalry, and on him personally. He believed
they had all done their duty.
The DUKE then gave—" The Infantry engaged at
Waterloo and the Earl of Strafford."
General the Earl of STRAYFORD briefly replied.
The DUKE then said, that he could bear testimony to
the efficiency and brilliant achievements of the artillery
at Waterloo, with which toast he coupled the name of a
Gallant Officer who faced him, Sir R. Gardiner.
Major-General Sir R. GARDINER, in reply, thanked
the Duke and company; he believed the artillery were
never employed to greater advantage than at the field of
, Waterloo wider their illustrious chief.

The illustrious DUKE said. he experienced great plea-
sure in seeing again among them a l!lobl! Friend who
had on many occasions eminently distinguished himself
in the field, and what gave him more gratification was,
that he had returned to this country in unimpaired
health. That gallant officer had been called upon to go
to a distant! country to administer its government, and
in his military rank had assisted Lord Gough. He (the
Duke) need not speak of his exertions during the trying
scenes he took part in, for it was well known ho had re-
turned to his native country to receive the approbation
of his:Sovereign, and the admiration of his countrymen,
from whom he had obtained the highest honours that
could be bestowed. He would give " The health of
Viscount Hardinge."
Lieutenant-General Viscount HARDINGE expressed
his sincere thanks to the Duke and his brother compa-
nions in arms for the manner in which they had received
the toast. As for the civil position he held in India, he
felt proud of it, but as to his military services with the
army of the Sutlej, he was confident that the brave army
under their gallant and intrepid commander, Lord
Gough, had done only that which might be expected
from the example set them by the army which 'foughtunder their illustrious chief. He was sure nothing
could be more gratifying to the Indian army than the
repeated expressions of praise uttered by the Duke and
the country generally.

The DusE then said, the nex toast he would submit
was " The Hanoverian Army that fought at Waterloo,"
and he would call on Count Kielmansegge.
His Excellency Count KIELMANSEGGE said he was
proud to be again present at the festival, to meet his
comrades in arms in that glorious battle, the success of
which had given them thirty years of peace. To the
gallantry of the troops and the leadership of the illus-
trious Duke they were indebted for that blessing. He
thought the King's Germans, as they were then
called, did their duty. Germany had been in a con-
vulsed state to obtain a change of constitution, and he
trusted by the blessing of Providence it would secure
those lasting institutions which had rendered the British
empire pre-eminent among all other nations. England
had withstood the storm, and he believed it was owing
to the loyalty and practical science of the people, and
the devotion of the army, at the head of which was the
Noble Duke, that the country continued to retain those
great blessings. He was deeply obliged, on behalf of
the Hanoverian array, for the favourable notice of the
Duke.

The DUKE then gave " The Sovereign Allies of Eng-
land at the Battle of Waterloo," to which he coupled the
name of Prince Castelcicala.

His Excellency Prince CASTELCICILA returned thanks
in a brief address.

The DUKE said he was glad to see a gallant officer who
had been absent on the last annivegsary, but who had
rendered great services to his country. He would giro
" The health of Sir Frederick Adam."

Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Sir F. ADAM, re-
turned thanks in a short speech.

The DUKE now rose and expressed his pleasure in
giving " The health of General Sir James Macdonnell,
Lord Saltoun, and the officers present who so gallantly
acted at the farmhouse of Hougoumont."
Lieutenant-General Sir A. WOODFORD replied.
The Duza said, he had another toast to offer; they
all were aware that nothing Was more important than
to have active, zealous, and experienced °Seers on a
staff, and it was never more clearly illustrated than. at
Waterloo; those officers had nobly done their duty, and
he would therefore give " The Officers on the Staff at
Waterloo, and the Earl Cathcart."
Lieutenant-General the Earl CATHCART replied in a
few observations.
It being then half-past ten the Noble Duke vacated
his chair, a signal which the Prince Consort and the
gallant guests promptly followed.
The Prince and company retired to the saloon.
At
ta quarter to eleven his Royal Highness Prince
Albert departed, and the company then broke up.
