On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. BOVILL moved a resolution declaring it to be just
and expedient that a drawback should +o
and publishers on the duty paid upon their stock of paper
purchased and printed upon after the passing of this act,
and remaining in sheets unbound on the 15th of August
next, the day on which the duty was to cease. He remarked
that ,the Chancellor of the Exchequer had already ad-
mitted the principle of a drawback in the case of the wine
duties, having been influenced in that case either by the
pressure of a large and influential body of men, or else by a
sense of justice ; and the same principle would apply to
the stocks of paper in the hands of printers and pub-
lishers. Indeed, the bill did propose to anew a drawback to
stationers, paperstainers, and pasteboard makers, upon the
stocks of paper in their hands, and it did so for the purpose
of preventing a stagnation of their trade. It was considered
that unless the stationer was allowed a drawback he would
abstain from purchasing paper, and would not keep up his
stcck ; the trade and the operations of the manufacturer
would be suspended, and in the interval of time the Govern-
ment would derive no revenue therefrom. The same argu-
ment would apply;to the caseof the printers and publishers,
and the drawback which they also claimed. It might be
said that the stationer was only to be allowed a drawback
on the entire reams, half reams, and other parcels of paper,
remaining in stock unopened at the time when the act came
into operation. But that was merely to identify the parcels
of paper, and there was not a difference of principle between
the case of the stationer and that of the printer or publisher.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer had therefore conceded
the principle of a drawback, which extended, in the case of
the wine duties, to stocks purchased two years ago, and
which might even, in the case of the stationers' stock, ex-
tend to paper that he had purchased 10 years, if the reams
had continued unopened during that time. The printing
trade was one of a different character, but great numbers of
people were dependent upon it, and it was entitled to as
much consideration. Ho was informed that in the metro-
polis alone there were 8,000 printers who were engaged in
the printing of standard works. Now, what would be the
effect of a refusal of the drawback upon them ? Suppose
that Mr. Bohn, or any other large publisher of standard
works which were not copyright, was engaged in bringing
out a series of works at an extremely moderate price. The
printing went on month by month, and as it was prepared,
it was worked off, the paper being purchased and supplied
for the purpose. Those works, not being new works, but
standard works which were expected to have a tolerably re-
gular sale, they might come out either in one month or an-
other, and might easily be deferred without detriment to the
publisher, though perhaps with some little disappointment
to the public, if they were expected. If it was now thought
right, instead of taking off the paper duty immediately, to
defer taking it off until four months hence, Mr. Bohn or
any other such publisher would not print his works during
those four months, but would defer the printing of them
until the time when the duty was to come off. It might be
said, perhaps, that since the publishers would derive great
advantages from the repeal of the paper duty, they could
well afford to wait. But it was not the publishers who
would suffer, because if the publication of those standard
works was deferred for two or three months, they would pro
bably get the same sale afterwards. The effect, however,
upon others would be this. As Mr. Bohn, with his " Stan-
dard Library," and other publishers, would thus defer the
publication of their works, the inevitable consequence would
be that the printers would be unemployed, and thousands
of meritorious workmen would be deprived of the means of
earning their daily bread, and the greatest distress would
be created among them. He was informed by a man well
acquainted with the trade that ten thousand persons would
be eit'ier wholly or partially thrown out of employment
until the duty came off. Nearly the whole of the pressmen
of London, who were mainly engaged in book-printing,
would cease to be employed. He did not ask for a draw-
back on the paper used for periodical publications ; but it
was the heavy book-printing that would be suspended if
the drawback was refused, because then, by the delay of a
very few weeks, the publishers would obtain the benefit of
the repeal of the duty, while the ill effects of the delay
would be visited on the working printers. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer might, perhaps, say that as he was pro-
posing to give up a large amount of revenue by the repeal
of the paper duty, he could not afford to give up the amount
of this drawback. But ho would really be giving up a very
trifling amount by allowing this drawback, for if the pub-
lishers abstained from printing., the paper would not be
consumed, and the duty would not be paid in the mean-
time. By the law, as it now stood, until the 16th of August
next any publisher might go on printing, and if he ex-
ported his printed books, though it were only to Jersey,
and then brought them back nein, he would be entitled to
the drawback. They could be exported to Jersey and
brought

might evade the duty. The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, by allowing the drawback which he now asked for,
would therefore not be sacrificing very much revenue.
He:asked if it was worth while, in order to save so small
a sum, to turn out of employment lyndreds of men in the
metropolis and thousands in the country. With regard to
the wine duty, they required no guarantee but the declara-
tionin this case ? He did not think there would be any of the wine dealer, end why should they require more
diffi-
culty in identifying the paper, and if there were, he had
provided for that by inserting words in his resolution, that

Mr. HALT BURT ON then said there was no other alter-
native but to go on now. (Cries of Hear, hear.) But he
would assure the committee that he never in his life rose
under circumstances of greater embarrassment than he did
at present. No hon. gentleman who had read the short line
of amendment contained in the paragraph, or the still
shorter line which followed, could deny that the measure
before him was of the greatest importance to those persons
whose interests he advocated, he feared so imperfectly, in
that house, and who were, he might say, wholly unrepre-
sented not only in that house, but unrepresented by any
official organ in this country, to make known their wishes
and wants to the Government of the country. He
felt in advocating the interests of those persons
that he was himself not only a stranger in the house
but in the country; and that he had no friends to support
the cause of those persons. He might state to the house
that in this case he was advocating the interests of three
millions of people, and that the timber of their country
was their great staple. When he stated that it was the
only trade they had, it would be needless to add that
British America was a forest country, and that it was by the
annual export of the timber of that forest that those people
earned their livelihood. Persons in this country were inte-
rested in more trade than one, and therefore if one were af-
fected by change it did not cause such serious consequences;
but where there was only one trade, the interests of the
persons engaged in it were of more importance. Every
other interest was ably and efficiently represented in that
house. The silk weavers, and corkcutters, and other classes
who were free traders for the rest of the world, but protec-
tionists for themselves, men who could draw even from rags
arguments for the principle of free trade where they were
not concerned themselves, found many members in that
house to advocate their interests. (Hear, hear.) But there
was no in that house to stand up in defence of the rights
and interests of the distant colonist. He felt how vain and
useless it was for him to contend against one so able, so elo-
quent, so ingenious, but, at the same time, one so imper-
vious to any argument as the right hon. gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) But he should
appeal from the right hon. gentleman to the honest feelings
of Englishmen, who proverbially loved fair play—(hear,
hear)—and who, if they conld not assist, would at least sym-
pathise with the weaker party. The policy of former days
was to nurture their colonies. The men who advocated
that policy were known by the name of Tories. (Laughter.)
That was the name before the introduction of a new nomen-
clature —before they called themselves progressive and libe-
ral Conservatives, and other varieties of name, that had very
little meaning and much less sense in them. (Laughter.)
In old days the toast used to be ships, colonies, and com-
merce, but now it was commerce, calico, and cotton. He
considered that they ought to cultivate their colonies on
the principle that those who begat children ought to pro-
tect and support them till they were able to support them-
selves. Every advantage was given to that forest country
to furnish supplies of timber to England when the north of
Europe was, by the machinations of the uncle of the pre-
sent Emperor of the French, closed to this country. (Hear.)
In 1842 Sir IL Peel reduced the scale of those duties.
He did not so much complain of the principle on which
that was done as the mode of doing it, for it was
done without notice, and had
i taken the colonists by sur-
prise. One of the ablest men n New Brunswick computed
the loss to them of that single clause at £3,000,000, and

Mr. W. EWAIIT inquired of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, as to the state of the law respecting
" Prize Fighting." He denounced strongly the recent fight
for the champicnship. It had been contended that prize-
fighting vas favourable to the development of the national
character, but the same had been asserted some time since
by an hon. member in respect to bull-baiting, who added
that its continuance was favourable to the connection
of Church and State. (Laughter.) Notwithstanding
the abolition of that brutal practice, there was no diminu-
tion in the courage of their soldiers and sailors. He be-
lieved that the continuance of those brutal exhibitions
would be most prejudicial to the national morality, and that
steps should be taken to suppress it. (" Hear, hear, and
"No, no.")
Mr. SCULLY said that the house, in the questions put to
the Home Secretary, had gone from pitch and toss to man-
slaughter. (Laughter.) With reference to the fight for
the ohampionship, he contended it was a disgrace-
ful exhibition to see two human beings pummel-
ling each other in the brutal manner that the men
engaged in that encounter were represented to have done.
If such an exhibition had taken place in Ireland, that coma-
try would be denounced as a nation of savages. (Laughter.)
He repeated the statement. He did not bring any charge
against the national character of England on account of
this fight, and he was informed that Heenan and Sayers
were Irishmen—(laughter)—and that Mr. Morrisey was
also an Irishman—(renewed laughter)—but, if so, they
were a disgrace to their country.

would be legal. As respected prize-fighting, those who
were favourable to such exhibitions considered that they
afforded a model for conducting fights between persons
who engaged in pugilistic encounters. (Hear, hear.)
It was considered a preferable mode of settling
disputes, to resort to such fights, than to adopt
the:practice of the stiletto, or the knife, or that mode of
fighting common in Ireland by the use of the shillelah.
(Great laughter.) He had no hesitation in stating that
such fights were illegal, that those present at and
abetting them were an unlawful assemblage, and
might be indicted for misdemeanour. (Laughter.) With
respect to the present site of Smithfield to which his
attention had been called on by an hon. member, an ar-

would be submitted to the Corporationof the City, and whjeh

Sir J. TROLLOPE remarked that when Sir R. Peel in-
creased the license duty charged on auctioneers, those
already in the trade were delighted, because it tended to
keep others out of it. (Hear, hear.) There could be no
reason why paper manufacturers should be subject to
license duty more than cotton-spinners or carpet manufac-
turers. (Hear, hear.) If one species of manufacture was
to be licensed, there was a strong reason why all the rest
should be treated in the same way ; and he thought that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had been making
great changes in the financial system of the country, and
was so much in favour of direct taxation, ought to extend
the system of licensing to all trades. By what the right
hon gentleman was now doing he would create a practical
monopoly in the paper trade. The paper manufacture was
already in comparatively few hands, and would become the
possession of still fewer in time.

would only be necessary for him to detain the committee a
few minutes. The hon. and learned gentleman had entered
into the whole subject of the colonial relations existing be-
tween Great Britain and her North American colonies, and
had expressed his views of what he considered to be the in-
jurious treatment the colonies had received. He must say
he regretted the language used by the hon. and learned
gentleman in speaking of a large claas of the people of Eng-
land. If the feelings of the colonists were such as he had
represented, he could only say that a very different feeling
existed in this country towards British North America.
In this respect there was a great difference between public
opinion now and in the days of our forefathers. With re •
pect to the particular question of the timber duties, it was
not necessary for him to detain the house, because he had
fully stated his views in a letter which the hon. and learned
member had alluded to as haughty, contemptuous, and su-
percilious ; but he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had
no proof whatever, beyond the hon. and learned gentle-
man's speech, that such a feeling existed among the colo-
nists as that just now stated to the house. The Canadian
people knew that the whole policy of England since 1842
had been to abolish all differential duties, and therefore it
could not be truly said that no notice had been given that
such a change would be made as was now proposed. The
question was so thoroughly understood by the house and
the country that it would be unnecessary for him to discuss
it at greater length on the present occasion. Without in •
tending any disrespect to the hon. and learned gentleman
he should now leave the decision to the committee.
The committee divided, the numbers were—

For the amendment

Mr. P. HENNESSY, who had given notice of a motion
in the following terms :—" That it appears to this house,
from the papers which have been pla^A before Parliament
by command of her Majesty, that the French Government
was ready to submit the question of the annexation of
Savoy and the arrondissement of Nice to France to
.a con-
gress of all the great Powers of Europe, provided that her
Majesty's Government would agree to have the question of
the annexation of the states of Central Italy, namely, Tus-
cany, Parma, Modena, and the Roman Legations, also sub-
mitted to a congress of all the great Powers ; and that this
house regrets that those territorial additions to France and
Sardinia have been arranged without the convocation of
such a congress".—said that he should not proceed with the
motion that evening; but he begged to give notice that he
should bring it forward upon an early supply night.
ROYAL PROCLAMATION (PIETY, VIRTUE, &c.)
Mr. L. KING moved that an humblO addreSs be presented
to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased
to cause the royal proclamation for the encouragement of
piety and virtue, and for the preventing and punishing of
vice, profaneness, and immorality, issued at the commence-
ment of her Majesty's reign, to be revised, or to authorise
the discontinuance of reading the same at assizes and quar-
ter sessions, and in churches and chapels. He said that
this proclamation was read at the opening of every assizes
and quarter sessions, and was also ordered to be read in
all parish churches four times in the year. It was ex-
tremely ill worded, and during the time when it was being
read\ .persons of all sorts, witnesses and jurymen, were kept
waiting, to their extreme inconvenience. But although ma-
gistrates and judges ()toyed the order, there was a class of
Persons who did not obey it---he meant the clergy. It had
never been his good fortune or his bad fortune to be in a
church when this proclamation was read. The clergy, he
thought, were extremely wise in not doing this; they had
other means of inciting their congregations to piety and

Mr. BRIGHT thought the right hon. gentleman was not
quite so conclusive in his arguments on this occasion as he
had been on many other questions connected with tie bud-
got. He agreed with the hon. member opposite that there
was no reason whatever why the men who made paper
should have to pay for a license more than those who made
calico. Tie believed it was better for the papermakers that
the license should be retained and the duty abolished than
that both should be retained ; but there was really no rea-
son why they should pay license duty while those who
manufactured other things were exempt. His principal
objection to the duty was that it was unjust to the various
classes of paper manufacturers. Those who carried on an
extensive trade—the Wrigleys, Dickensons, and Cowans—
paid no more than the £4 4s. which had to be paid also by
those who carried on business only on a small scale, and
derived from it but a scanty income. It was not worth
while, perhaps, to say much about it on one side or the
other, but he thought the exceptions to which the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had referred did not afford sufficient
grounds to continue the system, unless it were extended
generally among traders, and that ho suspected no Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer would attempt until other sources
of revenue had failed. lie hoped the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had not said what he had said to-night for the
purpose of extending licenses. He had no objection to
traders paying their full share of taxation, but he thought
the mode of licenses was unpalatable, and very unsatisfac-
tory. (Hear, hear.) He thought the hon. member for the
Tower Hamlets was right in the view which he took of this
question. It did not seem to be a matter of much conse-
quence. No paper manufacturer objected to the license.
At the same time it was not just in principle, and it was
unfair to the small paper manufacturer. (Hear, hear.)
