MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'Clock.
SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL BILL.
Lord REDESDALE brought up the report of the
Standing Orders' Committee on the Smithfield Market
Removal Bill, recommending that the Bill be not pro-
ceeded with, inasmuch as the standing orders relating to
private Bills had not been complied with.
Lord BEAUMONT considered that if they treated
this Bill as a private Bill they would establish a most
dangerous precedent. It was a public Bill, to remove a
great public nuisance, and had been introduced into the
House of Commons, and been there treated as a public
Bill, having been introduced, not on petition but
motion, and had been thoughout treated as a
public Bill, save that the Standing Orders' Committee
of that House having been consulted on the subject, had
recommended that notices should be published in the
Gazette. This was done, and the Bill was proceeded
with as a public Bill, and as a public Bill it had been
sent up to their Lordships. Their Lordships might, it
they pleased, treat it as a private Bill, but the real ques-
tion was, did it concern great public interests or did it
not. In the cases of the Metropolitan Cemeteries
Bill and other Bills of a similar character their Lord-
ships had treated them as public Bills, and he thought
that in such an important case as this the Bill should be
considered as a public Bill. He would move as a reso-
lution that, inasmuch as the Smithfield Market Removal
Bill partakes more of the nature of a public than
of a private Bill, it is the opinion of that House
that it should be proceeded with as a pub-
lic Bill, and that the standing orders should not
be insisted on. The Corporation of London had had
ample equitable notice, and might if they chose be heard
at the bar by counsel against it.
The Marquis of SALISBURY thought that such a
resolution should not be proposed without notice.
Lord BEAUMONT would, if they thought it neces-
sary, postpone his motion, and give notice of it.
Lord LYNDH'URST thought the Bill was not a public
Bill.
Lord REDESDALE said the standing orders had
been passed for the protection of private property, and
wherever private property was touched by any Bill, it
was necesssary that those standing orders should be
observed. He hoped their Lordships would insist
upon the observance of the standing orders in this
instance. Everybody knew that Smithfield-market
was a nuisance, and that the Corporation of London
actually knew all about the Bill, but still it would
be most dangerous to allow the standing orders
to be dispensed with. The notices might have been
given in November, and then the standing orders would
have been complied with. If the Noble Lord thought
the standing orders ought not to be insisted on he might
make tho motion, but it would be most objectionable to
treat this measure as a public Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM wished exceedingly that this Bill
should pass into a Bill, and would recommend his Noble
Friend (Lord Beaumont) to move the suspension of the
standing orders instead of persevering in his motion. He
had no fear of this House losing the respect of the com-
munity by acceding to this Bill.
Earl GREY concurred in the recommendation of his
Noble and Learned Friend opposite, but thought that as
his Noble Friend (Lord Beaumont) had consented to
postpone his motion to Thursday, he thought it would
be better not to enter into the discussion until then.
Lord BEAUMONT then gave notice that on Thurs-
day he should bring the question under the considera-
tion of the House.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 1.)
Su oaa.—To-day there was a further increase in the
supply of Colonial at market. Importers of West India
were disposed to realise; but submitting to a
reduction on the rates f Friday of 6d per cwt,
caused a good demand to prevail, but chiefly
for refining purposes. The purchases are 910
hhds, &c., including at auction 160 hfids 15 tierces
Barbadoes, which sold at steady rates; middling yellow
at 37s 6d to 38s 6d, good to fine 39s to 41s, 442 hhds 8

34s 6d to 355, low and middling 33s to 34s per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a good
demand, supplies being moderate, and rates are firm;
brown lumps cannot be obtained under 47s per owt. In
the market for Crushed Sugar there is a firmness, with
a fair business doing.
MA.uniTrus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
leas in demand, and the public sales of 1,941 begs went
at rather lower rates, good to fine yellow selling at 395
to 4os, low to good mid 36s to 38s Gd, and fine brown
355 to 35s 6d per cwt. There was little done privately.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon dealers were less dis-
Peaed to operate in Belgal Sugar; the hest Benares re-
alised the former value, but other sorts sold 6d per cwt
lower. , Of 3 800 bags at auction about half sold,

Sugar from shippers and home dealers, but holderesitas
floating cargoes would not sell at lower prices. Of pe°r
vambuco 4,898 bags at auction were all taken in at 37;
for good brown. _ • _

Lord REDESDALE said that the Noble Lord must
give specific notice if ho intended to move the sus-
pension of the standing orders.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that by giving
such a notice, his Noble Friend would bo admitting that
it was a private Bill. The notice had better bo given
generally.
After a few words from Lord COLCHESTER,

Lord BROUGHAM recommended his Noble Friend
to confine himself to a general notice.
Lord BEAUMONT gave notice that on Friday he
would call the attention of their Lordships to the sub-
ject, and that on Thursday he would state to their
Lorebibi "-
it:rdships the specific words of the motion he intended
a'lbriait to their Lordships.

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of the
Pharmaceutical Bill.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the
metropolis praying for the abolition of the paper and
newspaper duty.

Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from a place in
Staffordshire against the truck system.
Mr. HERRIES presented a petition from Sunderland,
complaining of the repeal of the navigation-laws.
Lord NAAS presented a petition from Mr. Archer;
the patentee of a machine for making perforated postage-
stamps, complaining that the Government had only
offered him 2001. for his invention, and 300/. for the
machine, the machine itself having cost him altogether
9001., and praying for an inquiry into the circumstances
connected with his cases.

Colonel FREESIUN p7esented a petition from the
physicians, surgeon. 9, and medical practitioners of Wey-
mouth and Melcombe Regis, praying the House to pass
a Bill for regulating the qualifications of pharmaceutical
chemists in Great Britain; also petitions from the che-
mists of inhabitants of the same-place of similar import.

hares to the amount of 7,5001. Some conversations
ensued relative to the directors borrowing money to
increase the operations of the company, but no resolu-
tion to that effect was adopted, anc it was left to the dis-
cretion of the directors.
The report was then unanimotmly adopted, and after
a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated.

REFUSAL OF A MEDICAL MAN TO
ATTEND A WOMAN IN LABOUR.
The week before last Mr. Hitetins held an inquest at
Marion, near Gainsborough, on be body of Elizabeth
Fletcher, who died in child-birth Liter being delivered of
twins. The case excited extreme interest. The husband
stated that in April last he spoke to Mr. Smith, surgeon,
of Marton, to attend his wife, and that Mr. Smith replied,
" Whenever your wife wants me, call upon me, and I will
attend." On Tuesday night (de 10th inst.) at nearly
11 o'clock, his wife being taken in labour, he went to
Mr. Smith and asked him to accompany him to his wife;
but Mr. Smith replied that he you'd not go. He went
home, but though the midwife sent him again, Mr. Smith
still refused to come. Fletcher imploringly said, " Do,
Mr. Smith, or my wife will die;" but the surgeon said ho
would not, and that he might " go to h— fur a doctor."
Mr. Fairchild, surgeon, of Willingham, residing at a
distance of three or four miles from Marton, was then
fetched, but before be arrived the poor woman was
dead. At this stage of the inqairy the husband sobbed
and cried as if heart-broken. Tho jury expressed
a wish to have Mr. Smith present, and the coroner sent
for him. The evidence having been read,
Mr. Smith said—l deny having promised to attend
the deceased : they owed me money, and I was not
bound to go. I also deny telling the husband that he
might "go to h-- for a doctor." The man was drunk
when he came.

Coroner—But I apprehend the wife was not drunk;
the man states that he had only one pint of beer, and
that that was given to him: I will recall him.
Being recalled, the man asserted before Mr. Smith
that he had engaged him, and that Mr. Smith had pro-
mised to attend. He added, "I was not drunk, and you
know, when I begged and prayed of you to come to my
wife as she vi as dying, you told me I might • go to h---
for a doctor.'"

Mr. Smith—l deny it, and I suppose, Mr. Coroner, my
word is as good, at least, as that man's.
Coroner—Stay, Mr. Smith, we will teat that. Call in
a man of the name of Cooper.
James Cooper, butcher, stated that on the Tuesday
night he felt poorly, and wished Mr. Smith to give him
some medicine to take home, and they both went to the
surgery from the White Swan. While there the bus-
band of the deceased came, and again asked Mr. Smith
to go to his wife, but the latter said be would not. The
man begged and prayed of him to go, as he was sure his
wife would die. The surgeon declared that he would
not go, and that the man " might go to h— for a
doctor."

Coroner—Now, Mr. Smith, the jury will form a cor-
rect estimate with respect to which side the truth has
been found on. From your positive denial of the one
fact, which has been confirmed by evidence that even
you have not disputed, I have little doubt of the truth
of the husband's statement that you did promise to
attend. That unfortunately wants confirmation, and
had it been confirmed it would have become a
duty to deal with the case differently from
what must, as it stands, necessarily be the issue. By
your promise to attend the wife, the husband had, as he
supposed, no occasion to apply to any one else, as he
relied upon you; but supposing you had not promised,
surely, when an appeal for a dying woman was made,
and whea under nature's severest trial, common huma-
nity should have induced you to leave a public-house
and go the distance of 400 yards to save a fellow-crea-
ture; but ibstead of obeying these humane dictates, you
not only refused, but forgot decency of language, and
outraged all respect for yourself and the profession by
adding cruelty to inhumanity. I confess I envy not your
feelings.
_ _

A furor—Mr. Cooper, was Mr. Smith sober? Cooper
—Well, I think so.
Coroner—Was the husband sober? Cooper—Yes,
sir, he was.

Coroner—Another contradiction to your statement,
Mr. Smith; and as you have no other explanation, you
may retire.

A. S. Harvey, Esq., deposed that he had seen the de-
ceased, and had heard the evidence, and from the facts
he could arrive at only one conclusion—that the de-
ceased had died from excessive basmorrhage and exhaus-
tion from the loss she had sustained, which might have
been averted, if she had had the medical assistance she
required.

The Coroner summed up, animadverting strongly upon
the want of feeling on the part of Mr. Smith and his denial
of the truth of the husband's statement, a hich had been
confirmed. The law, he believed, was not stringent
enough to punish in this instance, or it would never have
been more justly carried out. The medical profession
was of the highest importance, and only very few in-
stances of such total disregard of humanity would be
found. The evidence was before the jury, and the verdict
he would leave to them.

The jury then unanimously agreed to the following
verdict:—" That the deceased, from excessive haemor-
rhage and exhaustion did die; that Mr. Smith, surgeon,
did refuse to attend the deceased, although informed
that she was in a dying state; and that, from medical
evidence, had she had medical aid her death might have
been averted. The jury, upon the evidence, are of opi-
nion that, although the deceased did die from natural
causes, her death might have been prevented had Mr.
Smith attended."—Shereld Times.

HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER

AND SUICIDE.

On Saturday night and early on Sunday morning the
neighbourhood of the Barracks, in Silver-street, which
has many years been a moral and physical nuisance to
the whole city, was the se.-me of a most shucking
crime, being an attempt at murder and suicide.
It appears that a man named John Waters, a country
labourer, had been residing in the barracks several
months with a girl named Mary Ann Bush. Latterly they
had disagreed and quarrelled. On Saturday, Waters
asked the girl to "go home with him and be comfort•
able," but she refused to live with him again. lie then
asked her if he should dine with her on the follow-
ing day (Sunday), and if so he would buy something for
dinner. To this she agreed, and he then went and
purchased some things for dinner and took them to her
house. In the middle of the night, or about one o'clock
in the morning, she went home in company with
another man, at which time Waters was lying under
the bed, as she thought, asleep. After the other man had
left, Waters commenced a quarrel with the girl; they
had high words together, and he caught hold of her by
the neck, when she felt a sharp sensation, as though he
'as pinching her neck, and cried out " 0 John,
don't murder me." Her cries alarmed the neighbours,
and two men named Maund and Spragg forced
the door, and one of theca knocked Waters
down. Waters got up and ran up a passage, turning
into a place where he concealed himself under some
stairs. Maund then ran to the station-house and
gave information to Sergeant Bateman, who was
quickly on the spot. Manwhile two girls
dragged Bush out of the kitchen to their own
house, and finding her throat cut,
of concealmentut,theytiedana,parnodn
round her neck to stop the hemorrhage. Sergeant Bate-
oinnanpufolluinngd hWimateorust byi the n his
ac
collar, found that his throat
was also cut. Policeman Workman then came
up, and by his assistance the man was taken
to the station-house, where also Bush was soon
after conveyed, and Mr. Budd, surgeon, was
speedily on the spot, and sewed up their wounds.
That on Bush's throat was five inches in length, but
no artery had been cut; that on 'Waters's throat con-
sisted of two cuts, one of which had penetrated his
windpipe. Both have been pronounced in a fair way
for recovery. In the house where the shocking
occurrence took place, Bateman found in the
centre of the kitchen a great pool of blood and a pocket
knife lying close by with blood on it; the knife had been
recently sharpened. It is said that evidence will be ad-
duced to prove that Waters had been seen to sharpen the
knife, and that he had also threatened the girl Bush. True
to her sex, however, she pleaded in his behalf when in cus-
tody, and endeavoured as far as possible to ward off the
consequences of his crime. Her evidence was taken be-
fore Mr. Sidebottom and Mr. Pierpoint, on Monday, at
the police station, and the case was remanded.— Wor-
cester Chronicle.

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
A most distressing accident occurred here on Tues-
day morning last, which resulted in the death of a
fine young man named Robert Dalgleish, who had
charge of the steam-engine of the Messrs. Cochrane,
manufacturers. While engaged in his attendance upon
the engine, which is a condenser of 14-horses power,
and acts in junction with a large waterwheel,
he was caught by the breast of his loose jacket
by one of the "governor balls," which serves to re-
gulate the admission of the steam. His arm was in-
stantly entangled between the spindle and governor
rod, and in a moment he was whirled round and round
by the machine with a velocity which was increased by
the governors being forced down by this obstruction,
thus allowing the steam full power by opening
the valve. His cries soon attracted the attention of the
other workmen, who hastened to his rescue with all speed.
Notwithstanding every exertion, a few minutes elapsed
before the machinery could be brcught to a stand, so
groat was the velocity it had attained. On being dis-
engaged of the few remaining shreds of clothing which
bound the unfortunate man to the engine, a melancholy
spectacle presented itself. Almost every article of cloth-
ing was literally stripped away, and the body dread-
fully mutilated. The right arm, in particular, by which
he was principally entangled, was twisted and crushed
till the bones were almost ground down. He sustained,
besides other injuries a severe fracture of the left leg,
and on one aide the ribs were entirely fractured. The
rods to which the governors are attached were bent
out almost to a right angle—an instance of the extra-
ordinary pressure to which the body must have been sub-
jected. Strange to say, notwithstanding all this, the
unfortunate sufferer retained his senses when relieved,
and for the short time after that he lived, nor did he
ever
.complain of pain. This may be accounted for by
his Head having entirely escaped injury, while the
severity of his bruises had prostrated all nervous
sensibility. A stretcher being procured, he was con-
veyed to his father's house, and the medical assistance
of the town was in prompt attendance. From the first,
however,
it was seen that his injuries were fatal, and he
expired about three hours after the accident. The un-
fortunate man being alone at the time when the accident
occurred, not the slightest blame can be attached to any
one.—Border Advertiser.

DUBLIN CUSTOMS.—The Customs duties received
at the port of Dublin for the week ended Juno 28, were
12,4421., viz.—Tea, 5,866/. • suer, 1,606/. ; wine, 1,2601.;
spirits 4271. tobacoo, 2,609/: ; numllaneous, 1,2724

Sir F. BARING, as the author of the Treasury minute
which had been so much attacked, was anxious not to shrink
from taking his share of the responsibility attaching to it.
It had been said that these frauds could not be prevnted ;
but ten years' experience in the case of tobacco had con-
vinced itim of the contrary. In 18:32 statements were made
that the adulteration of coffee had gone to a great extent, and
that chicory had been very much introduced. The Treasury
minute was issued on the representation of the most re-pect-
able part of the trade that the law was a punishment to the
honest dealer and a protection to the dishonest. Their state-
tnent was this—" We obey your regulations, and du not mix
chicory with our coffee, but our neighbours do; and the re-
sult is that we are losing the trade which they gain." The
question was, whether the law would be effectual if carried
out, and he was assured that such would not be the case.
The respectable part of the trade whom he saw assured him
that the law was inefficient, and that if the whole of its
powers were carried into effect they would be unable to
accomplish the object in view. But he was told this was a
question of public morality, and that great dishonesty was
practised by those who so.d the mixture called coffee; but if
parties were perfectly aware of what they were buying, he
could not understand where the dishonesty was. But as
they talked so much of public morality he must beg to cau-
tion them with regard to one point. They could not carry
their object into effect by the mere repeal of the Treasury
minute; they must introduce a new survey and system of
excise ; and was that likely to render the people more moral ?
He had had unfortunate experience of the effect of the Ex-
cise laws, and the evasions and frauds attending them, and
he was perfectly satisfied that the success of this motion
would introduce a most unconstitutional practice, and he
therefore hoped the House would reject it.—(Hear.)
Mr. HERItIES assumed that as he Right Hon. Gentle-
man was the author of the minute in question he had ex-
hausted all the arguments which could be urged in its de-
fence. And, after all, what had he/ said? All he had said
was what with him was a matter of necessity. But, he said,
that if they now insisted on enforcing by means of the ex-
cise a check on this fraudulent practice, they would increase
immorality greatly by extending the excise laws. Why,
there was not one of these trades to which allusion had been
made which were not already subject to the excise with re-
spect to many other articles, so that the operations of the
excise officers in point of fact would not be extended at all.
This was the first time he had heard the head of a depart-
ment sanction the commission of fraud.—(Hear, hear.) A
technical objection had been taken to the motion on the
ground that an excise clause was proposed, to be introduced
into a Customs Bill. But that was not correct. If the House
should accede to the motion of his Hon. Friend, it would not
follow that excise officers must of necessity be the persons
employed, for it would be quite competent for the Treasury
to employ the officers of the Customs if they should so please.
The mixture was said to have been accepted by the public,
but he confessed he had never heard that the public were
willing to have it, or that this celebrated Chancellor of the
Exchequer's mixture had been advertised. Such being the
case, and the motion of the Hon. Member for Huntingdon
not being inconsistent with the practice of the House, and
being moreover calculated to prevent fraud, he would cer-
tainly give it his support.—(Hear, and cries of " Divide.")
Mr B. OSBORNE assured the House that he would re-
spect the hour, and that his observations should be few. In
givibg this assurance, however, he must remind those Hon.
Members who did not seem disposed to take their coffee
before dinner that this was a very important question to the
commerce of this country. A greater delusion had never
been foisted on the public than that which had been first
hatched by the Hon. and Learned Member for Youghal, and
now was brought into second life by the Hon. Member for
Huntingdon. What was the whole gist of the question?
The Hon. Member called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to violate a very important principle. He called on the
Government to interfere in all the petty details of commerce,
instead of leaving them to the legitimate spirit of enterprise
and competition.—(Hear, hear.) He haft been informed by
one of the first houses in the metropolis, that, in consequence
of the erroneous impression which had been abroad that bul-
lock's blood and bone-dust and other ingredients were used
for the adulteration of coffee, a great demand had arisen for
what was called " Anatey's Pure."— (Laughter.) But what
had happened since? He was told by the same authority that
within the last fortnight the same people had come back to
the establishment and said, "Let us have nothing to do with
that stuff for which we paid ls. Bd. a pound, but give us the
old mixture at ls. a pound."—(Hear, and laughter.) The
law of 43d George, which had been misrepresented, only
provided against the introduction of vegetable substances,
and would afford no protection against the admixture of
bone-dust and horses' blood. He had had this mixture
examined, and it turned out that it was not horses' blood
which it contained, but horse beans.—(Laughter.) It had
been asserted that the importation of coffee decreased last
year, but the Hon. Gentleman who made that statement
forgot to tell them that the impo tation of other potables—
tea and cocoa—had increased. He hoped the Irish Members
would well weigh this matter, for it was very important to
Ireland. He knew from residing in that country that this
beverage was fast creeping into consumption there, and he
therefore called—not on the Hon. and Learned Member for
Youghal, who, probably, did not care much for Ireland, in-
asmuch as he was never likely again to represent an Irish
constituency, but on the other Irish Members, to resist the
motion of the Hon. Member for Huntingdon. He knew that
Hon. Member's motives to be perfectly pure, but there were
parties behind, large owners and consignees of tea and
coffee, to whom a reversal of their policy might make a dif-
ference of 25 per cent, on their money stock. Let the House
not be made the tool of a commercial operati ea.
Mr. G. BERKELEY said, that the question before the
House was simply this—whether the Government were to
sanction a fraud in this country or not?—(Hear, hear.) He
held in his hand a document of the greatest importance—
namely, a report from the Commissioners in British Guiana
as to the state of that colony and its exportations. He would
be glad to hear the Hon. Under-Secretary for the Colonies
explain why this report had not been laid upon the table up
to the present moment? It appeared by this report that the
export of sugar and coffee had gradually decreased during
the last 20 years—but the decrease in the exportation of coffee
within the three or four latter years was most serious. The
policy of free trade had inflicted great injury upon' the landed
proprietors of this country and these were not times when
their interests and those of the colonies should be divided.
The same policy that had brought ruin upon the colonies was
bringing ruin upon this country.--,Hear, hear.) Unless they
stood tog •ther shoulder to shoulder to check this invasion
upon their just rights, they would find that it would un-
doubtedly end in the ruin of the whole community. He
trusted that the proposition of the Hon. Member for Hunt-
ingdon would be carried.

-Mr. WAKLEY said that this subject, if properly dis-
cussed, out to occupy but a very short space of time. The
question, in reality, was this—Would the Government of
England sanction a practice of this sort ? (Hear, hear.)
It was not a question as to whether chicory was unhealthy or
not; but whether the Government, whose duty it was to
institute prosecutions for offences of adulteration, was to
sanction an adulteration in the article of coffee for purposes
not as yet explained. - (Hear, hear.) He believed that the
Government, in taking this course, was acting most unjustly,
immorally, and injuriously, both as respected their own
character, and the character of the British Legislature. He
regretted that he was not present during the entire of the
debate, but he understood that he had been alluded to by
the Hon. Member for Essex (sir J. Tyrell), whom he saw
in his place. It appeared that the Hon. Baronet had re-
ceived a letter from some person, whom he had not named.
He (Mr. Wakley) held the document in his hand. He did
not know whether he ought to read it—(" No, no," from Sir
J. TY&ELL.) It was curious writing. The author appeared
to have had a twist in his hand as well as in his head,—(A
laugh.) The writer said he had no doubt but that the
agitation on this subject had been set on foot by the
coffee merchants and grocers, and that it was impossible
but that the Lancet and other publications were in their
pay. Now (observed Mr. Wakley) they said that the
practice of the Government in sanctioning this adulteration
was calculated to have an injurious effect upon the morals
of the people. He was sorry to find that that injurious
effect had even extended to the Hon. Baronet the Member
for Essex. That Hon. Baronet was at one time esteemed
and respected as a noble-hearted, very droll, straightforward,
and honourable man. He did not, however, hesitate on that
evening to read an extract from a letter in that House con-
veying an odious and scandalous imputation of this kind,
without reading also the name of the slanderer. If the Hon.
Baronet were acquainted with a single fact or circumstance
to justify him in conveying such an insinuation, in former
times, before he was reduced to his present wreck of morality,
he would have boldly stood upon the floor of the House,
and have named the party who had made the accusation.—
(Laughter.) But now it appears, notwithstanding the for-
mer high attributes of his character, he is sunk to this de-
grading level, although he is still the country gentleman
par excellence.—(Loud cries of "Oh, oh.") Why, if he
were guilty of what was imputed to him in that letter, he
was unfit to sit in that House or to mix in respectable
society.—(Hear, hear.) Throughout those proceedings, he
assured the House that he was sol4ly influenced by public
grounds and considerations entirely, and that he had never
been influenced in his conduct by individual feelings. He
would further assure the Hon. Baronet, that outside of that
House he was not personally acquainted with any grocer or
coffee merchant, nor had he any private communications
with such persons. What he had done was solely from
public considerations and on behalf of the public health,
which he believed was damaged by this adulteration.—
(Hear.) If he had said anything that was painful to the
Hon. Baronet's feelings he begged at once to recal the words.
It was not his intention to make any insinuations in reference
to him—(Laughter)--as he entertained the highest respect
for his personal character.
Sir J. TYRELL could assure the Hon. Member for Fins-
bury that in reading the extract referred to, from a corn.
munication he had received that morning, he did not
mean to convey any insinuation whatever against the
Honourable Gentleman. He entirely acquitted him of any
such motives. But when motives of a corrupt nature were
so bandied about he thought he might as well read the do-
cument in question.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HUME referred to a Treasury minute in reference to
this subject. A prosecution having been commenced in
Liverpool for a fraud upon the revenue by the adulteration of
coffee with chicory, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was ap-
plied to for instructions upon the subject. The Right Hon.
Gentleman replied by saying that such a proceeding was im-
proper, as is could not be considered that the revenue was
defrauded, the duty being paid upon chicory He would
support the Government.
Mr. CAYLEY said that a great many of
were growers of chicory, ashis constituents
they found. that nothing else
would pay them. He was therefore opposed to any proposi•
tion that was calculated to discourage its growth.
The House then divided when there appeared—

Upon

attention
of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the alterations proposed
to be made in the timber duties. From all parts of the
country, and from Liverpool more especially, they had re-
ceived strong remonstrances against the alteration of the
timber duties. From the city of Liverpool, especially, he
had had the honour of presenting a petition to the House
upon the subject. In this petition there were several strong
reasons urged for not making the change in these duties in
the manner it was proposed. The Canadian, the colonial,
and the shipping interest had already suffered much injury
by the alterations made in those duties, and were likely to
suffer much more serious injury by the proposition of the
Right Hon. Gentleman. It would be remembered that in
1n46 an adjustment was made of the timber duties in order
to carry out what were called the principles of tree trade.
It was well known that the restrictive duties then put on
had reference to the difference of freight between the
Baltic and North American timber. The difference of
duty he thought was about 308. The difference of
freight was at the time 28s. in the one case and
14s. in the other. They now proposed to take off
from both parties interested the same sum of 10s., which
would in effect favour considerably the Baltic trade. He
was not prepared to go specifically into the question, but
wished merely to throw out the suggestion for the con-
sideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. These alte-
rations had also the effect of giving to the Baltic shipowner
a decided advautage over Canada. This was altogether in
