on the artice bra ndy, while we have not received
an equivalent. I beg to say, without hesitation,
that there is not one of the changes proposed by
this treaty that is not worthy the acceptance of the
bonse. A greet objection,-to this treaty was an
abandonment of the ptiztalples of Free-trade, but
that was not so. The treaty was an abandonment
of the principles of Protection, and the chief aim
of it was to oust out Protection from the
refuge it had taken in certain holes and corners.
(Hear, hear.) The financial results of the treaty,
as it stood, would be met by the proposed reduc-
tion, of the duty on wine froth ss. 10d. to 3s. per
gallon, which would relieve the consumer to the
amount of 830,000/. The reduction of the duty on
brandy front 153. to Bs. would relieve the con-
entnzr 'to the amount of '.446,000/., while
the loss 'of reviinue would.be 225,0001. Taking the
whale arils articles dealt with, such as silk, gloves
artificial flowers, clocks, &c., the' total relief that
would be* affordet to the consumer would amount t o
1,787,P001,' while the loss to reveline would amount
1,100,000/. The, right honoUrehle gentleman
then proceeded, to cite ,a number figures
to show the correctness', of, his calculations

hear.) I will show presently that a number
of persons, who were not rich, were making despe-
rate attempts to get at it. (Laughter. Was tea a
luxury ? Oh, no, it was the :luxury of the poor
man:; but was it so in 1760 ? may, in that year we
only consumed 4,000,000 lbs.;*While in the present
year our consumption had 'amounted to no less
than 70,000,000 lbs. (Hear.) Now, with respect
to the articles of gloves. The duty at present
levied upon foreign gloves Was. such that none but
those .of the 'very best qualify were at all imported.
In France, glovea_of aviOd quality -were made,
whieh,by this treaty, would -'be admitted at a re-7
duced duty, so that instead of the price at present -
paid by the consumer he would be enabled to get
gloves, at 10s. to 12s. a dozen, .of a quality
equal with that for which we now had to pay a
much higher .price. The trade that would be
created by the treaty would be immense; and when
all the changes contemplated in the tariff were in
lull operation, a result that would exceed all expec•
tation would follow. I cannot pass through this
treaty without complimenting those eminent per

sonages engaged in its production. The French
Emperor had on his part given an undoubted proof
of his good intentions to this country—(Hear.)
—and to Mr. Cobden the treaty, he firmly believed,
would turn out to be one of the greatest
triumphs he bad ever achieved. (Loud cheers.)
Owing to the new treaty, we propose as a supple.
ment act to repeal the duties on butter, cheese,
tallow, oranges, and lemons, eggs, nuts, nutmegs,
and various other similar articles, which would
of course extend a reduction in revenue
It was proposed to reduce the duty on timber to
the Colonial duty of Is. and 2s. Then we come to
the duty on currants, which it was propose to
reduce from 16s: to 75., raisins from 10s, to 7s:

figs from 10s. to 75., and hops from 455. to 14s•

This would make a. gross. loss of 910,0001. The

compensation for this loss would arise from small

kinds of penny duties, and it was proposed to
levy on all goods imported and exported

of Id.'per packet as a registration fee, for the pur-
pose of statistics. It would be easily levied, as
there would only be a few raw materials, and
these could be charged on the entire cargo
of a ship. To leiy a sample duty of Id. per
packet imported and exported would realise
310,0001. The next charge which it was intended

to relax is in the warehousing system, and it is
proposed,to levy a sum on removal, rating mixing,
bottling, and all.extras which have grown up as
excrescences in the warehousing system. From
this it was expected to realise 169,000/. With

respect to the duty on chicory, it was also
intended to reduce on home-grown chicory. This
would yield 90,0001., making a total of
510;0001 from these small duties. It was proposed
to put a stamp of ld. on brokers' warrants, and of
_ _

3d. on other warrants. It was proposed to issue
licenses to eating-houses, enabling them to sell
winos and beer. It was also intended to— ali4

the duty on game certificates. The scale Will
