AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL.

Mr. GLAD:,TONE gave notice that in the event of
the House sanctioning the Elective Councils for the
government c f South Australia, ho should propose a
clause giving her Majesty limited power of appointing
councillors for lire on the ground of public services;
also the insertion of a clause giving the bishops and
members of the Church in Australia powers to conduct
the affairs of the Church amongst themselves.
REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES.

In reply to Mr. HUME, --
Lord DUNCAN stated that he should certainly bring
on his motion for the repeal t f the window duties to-
night if he could do so before hall-past tin o'clock.
MARINE BILL.

Lord J. MANNERS gave notice that in the event of
the Marine Bill being read a second time, he should move
t lat it be referred to a Select Committee.

ADMISSION OF JEWS INTO PARLIAMENT.
Mr. PAGE WOOD called the attention of the House
to the circumstance, that his motion on the subject of the
admission of Jews into Parliament partook of the nature
of a question cf privilege. Be (Mr. P. Wood) had to ask
the indulgence of the Hon. Memler for West Surrey to
postpone his motion, in order to enable him (Mr. P.
rvrocd) to bring on his motion f.,r a Select Committe to
inquire into the practice of the House as to the admis-
sion of Jews and Friends to Parliament.
Mr. 11. DRUMMOND said if this motion of the Hon.
Gentleman (M. P. Wood) were so pressing it might have
been brought on any time within the last three years.—
(Laughter.) He (Air. Drummond) was nut disposed to
i.oftpone his motion, much as he was ready to do at all
times to oblige the Hon. Member for Oxford.
TAXATION OF THE COUNTRY.

Mr. 11. DRUMMOND then rose to move, that
whereas the present taxation of the country depresses
all classes, and especially the labouring classes, by dimi-
nishing the funds for the employment of productive la-
bour, it is the opinion of this House that. ,ade-
quate means should be foithwith adopted t
reduce the expenditure of the Guvernment.—(Hear.)
He said ho should not take advantage of the distiess ox
ill-usage under which a large portion of the community
was suffering to excite a clamour against taxation in
general; nor would he deny that there was a great deal
of prejudice against it. He would admit that
in many cases it was the mere transference
of luxuries from one people to another, but after grant-
ing all that, there was still a large margin:on which
there was a transference of the necessaries of life from
those who needed to those who needed them not. He
could not enter into all the subjects which led to that
consideration. He was particularly anxious to avoid
those touched:upon by the Hon. Member for the West
Riding (Mr. Cobden). He should, therefore, confine
himself strictly to the words of his motion (given above).
But if this trade was carried on with reckless prefasion,
which created heavy burdens upon the people, and
largely increased the taxation, it at least had this advan-
tage,
that it gave to this country a monopoly of the com-
merce of the world—that it did give an immense field
for enterprise—that it did create an immense demand for
our manufactures—and that, in fact, the whole commerce
of the world was centered in this country, and if its
energies were occasionally depressed, there were at the
same time springs of reaction in existence which tended
at all times to restore the balance of prosperity.—(Hear,
hear.) Such was the condition in which they were
placed in 1809. All he desired was to see the same
condition return.—(Hear, hear.) Now, all that he asked
of them was to follow out the course of the policy
which they had adopted, if, indeed, they had adopted
soy- settled policy at all. All he asked of them, at all
events, was to be honest, and to pursue the course unto
its legitimate end upon which they bad entered._
(Hear, hear.) Now, he would be equally honest with
them, and he trusted that he would be believed when he
said that there was nothing which he more desired
than to keep the present Ministers in
.their places—
(Hear, hear)—for much he feared that if they were
not on that side of the House they would
vote with him, and thus would precipitate
measures which he was desirous of delaying.—(Hear,
hear, and laughter.) What then he desired was, that
they should follow out the course which they bad
adopted with fairness and honesty, but instead of dousg
that, they were stopping in the middle and deluding the
country with vain and flimsy excuses.—(Hear, hear.)
The farmers were now beginning to be tired of the
union into which they bad been brought, and
wets desirous of seeing the end of those
measures of which so much promise bad been
made and so much bitter fruit had been reaped.
The two points which he wished to bring under their
attention iu his present motion were to reduce the ex-
penditure in the country, especially in the matter of
salaries, and to be honest Free-traders, in taking off all
the burdens which weighed upon the prudnction
of raw material of Elroy kind.—(Hear,hear.)
Now he had received a le ter from a bar-
ri:aer, whom he had not the pleasure of being acquainted
ell except by, communication, signed with his initials,
whose permission he Lad to quote biro. Being a lawyer,
and locking at the motto " Ne sutor ultra," ho began 1

with the judges, and affirmed that the salaries of
all judicial functionaries were much too high, baying
been fixed at a time when the public were as-
tounded by the reports of the immense sums
said to be made by Mr. Sugden, Mr. Scarlett, and others
of the leading lawyers of the times. It was fancied at
that time that all eminert barristers were making enor-
mous fortunes. But now, he went on to say, times were
far changed, many barristers were glad to get the judge-
ship of a county court at 1,0001., and the most eminent
at the bar, ho believed, would be very glad •to
get a settled income of 3,0001. or 4,0001. a year.
When the Honourable Gentleman the Member for the
'West Riding hat stated, the other evening, the
difference which existed between the English and North
American judges, the Hon. Gentleman opposite had
explained the different circumstances in which each were
placed, but that was no answer to the Honourable
Gentleman. The salaries of the judges bad been fixed
at a time when the prices of provisions were high ;
and what was desired now was to reduce them to
a pitch consonant to the reduced price of provisions.
But this gentleman sent him another extract from the
report of a Select Committee, showing that the salary of
the Lord Chancellor, which in '97 was 5,9001. was now
14,000/. ; that the salary of the Chief Justice of the
Qin en's Bench, which inl7 was 4,800/., was now 8,0001 ;
and that the salary of al puisne judge, which
was 2,200/. in '97, was now 5,0001. But in 1809 Mr. Per-
cival, then the First Minister, on the ground of the differ-
ence of prices occasioned by an alteration of the stand-
ard of value, proposed to raise all salaries 25 per cent.,
and in 1313 a similar increase was made in the amount
of all pensions. Now there was a great difference between
their salaries and those given to foreign persons; for in-
stance, the President of the United States received only
500/. a year, while our Governor of Canada received
as much as 7,0001., and such a governor of a province
was not entitled to more than a sovereign king.
—(Hear, hear.) But he had another most valuable
authority—a letter from a tenant-farmer who had
supported the Reform Bill, and he said that his
neighbour, Lord Cottenham, had lately made a reduc-
tion in the wages of his labourers to the extent of 3s. a
week—(Bear, hear)—and promised to reduce the wages
of others at the same ratio at Michaelmas next.— (Hear,
bear.) This was what the Whigs, with their self-com-
placency, usually called the improved condition of the
labourer—',Cheers)—which meant, in fact, a bare exist-
ence in summer and demi-starvation in winter.—(Cheers.)
He had not the honour of knowing that Noble Lord,
but ho learned from his friends that it was impos-
sible to select any person whose sense of the adequacy
of remuneratioa was more delicate, or who was more
keenly alive to the advantages of good wages.—(hear,
hear, and laughter.) It was said that it was
hypocrisy on the part of ;the landlord to
preach about protection, because the protection which
they asked for the tenant went tack into their pocke:s
in the shape of rent. That was not tree, so far as his
part of the country was concerned, for there the greater
pert of the land was ,held by men who farm their own
lend—yeomen who had no resources of their own
whitener. Some of :them had sent him their
books to show what their produce :sold for six
years ego.—(Hear, hear.) In 1843, in ore in-
stance it was 1,061/. In 1848 it was 872/, and in 1849
67(/., a diminution which the legislation of the House
had pi-educed and was intended to produce. The dif-
ference was 38 per cent. A short while ago ho was
speaking to a farmer on the subject of the motion re-
hiring to the reduction of local taxation. He said "What
is that to me? I grow 100 load of wheat a year. This
year that wheat is only worth 1,€001., which a few
years ago was worth 1,500/."—(Cries of ' Hear, hear.")
But, now observe, they had lowered by their measures
the value of the produce, but they had not lowered the
veluo of the cost c f production.—(Hear, hear.) There
was tie place where the free-traders had been faulty—
there was the point on which they had not been honest.
New he ne w a case where the labour on one farm cost 3821.,
and another 1,300/.; and there was neither of those
ti at had got the smallest relit f from the fall in prices.
In the district where those firms were situate, the
ages had fallen from 12s a week to 8 a week ; and
there the greatest distress exhibited itself. There was the
case of a clergyman who bought an advowson, and on the
faith of that had borrowed money with which to build
a house, which be did build. Ten years ago the aa7.-
sowson was worth 1,200/. a-year, now it had come down
to 3601. a-year. Now he wanted to know (and he spoke
to the Free traders) by what right they prohibit any
one of the yeomen of England from growing
what he pleased on his land, and using it as
he liked ?—(Cheers from the Protectionists.) He wanted
to know by what right be was prevented from growing
tobacco, linseed, beet-root, or whatever ho pleased, and
using it as ho pleased, without any meddling or in-
terference by that House ? He would ask why they
might not grow hops, or not, as they liked ?
A Right Hon. Friend of his who was much esteemed in
that House, was talking to him the other day about the
duty on hops, and had very judiciously remarked that
the farmers ought to be permitted to cultivate their hops
as they thought proper, and putting out his right hand
as if gatheriug hops, said why could they not permit
the farmer to do this as he likes.—Jlear, hear.) And
if that remark wes applicable to hops, it was also
equally applicable to clay. Why could not allow the
farmer to move and kneel his clay into bricks, and use
those brick for improving or increasing his farm-build.
ings, and do everything in fact connected with tl sir
business according to their own pleasure?—(Hear.) But
he could easily seo that when the effect was to touch
their own interests it was deeply felt and soon expressed.
They thought the farmers slow people, but he could
enure them that if, after having heard any measure,
they found it to be detrimentil to their in-
tertets they would not be slow in bringing
that mutter to a conclusion, and informing them of the
airount cf their discontent.—(Hear, boar.) In lfi23 the
consumption of malt was on an average five bushels
a-head. In 1829, when the duty was increased to 215.,
the consumption fell to one bushel; in 1831, when the
duty was reduced, it rose; and, in 1840, when it was
again reduced, it rose to two bushels.—(Hear.) Now
can e the point to what the free-traders had to answer.
It was all very easy to go down to the hustings and abuse
the landed aristocracy, but he had observed that the
votes given in that House were more in accordance with
some private interest than the professions on the busting.
Ile should continue with this motion, and give every
constituency a full opportunity of seeing that the votes
of its members were here. The House must make up
its mind to take off the burdens which were pressing
upon labourers. They had not kept faith with the
public debtor they had taught the public
debtor to have no faith in them. Many farmers
of Whig principles bad declared Ito him their utter
recklessness as to what would become of the
institutions of the country, since they tad lost all faith
in their power of preserving them. There was a talk,
too, among the labourers that they did not see why
there should be so much difference between poor and
rich. It was a fearful condition of things to which they
were tending, and to avert it they must act justly. The
way in which they must act was by diminishing the
salaries of all the servants of the Crown; and also by
taking away every impediment from the cultivator of the
tent to do as he pie ased with his produce. He did not wish
them to say that he sought to screen the rate—no, put on
the propert3 -tax, he said, on the landlords; but they
must repeal those laws, and take off the pressure from
the labourer.

Mr. CAYLEY seconded the motion. He had
always entertained en opinion that danger would result
from the corem-rcial policy which had recently been
adoi t ,d, and ho thought he and his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Drummond) were consistent in the course which they
now pursued, for the purpose of obtaining a reduction of
expenditure, seeing that universal distress was the con-
s, quence c f that line of policy to which he had referred.
lie wanted to know how it happened that at this parti-
culer juncture the House was so anxious for economy
and retrenchment.—(Hear.) According to the princi-
ple advocated the other night by the Hon. Member fur
tlentrose and the Hon. Member for the West Riding,
there ought to be an increase instead of a diminution in
our expenditure, for the ostensible object of free
trade was to increase our revenue, to make people
more prosperous and more happy.—(Hear, hear.) But
the parsimonious and niggardly economy advocated by
Hon. Membets clearly showed that increased prosperity
n as-not the result of our free-trade measures.—(Hear.)
what had been the consequence of this system of free
trade ? Now that they had got it, was the country
better satisfied ?—were the working classes better satis-
fied? Nothing of the sort. One of the c ffeets of this
cheap system had been an increase of supply in far
greater proportions than the increase in the pcpulation.
The population since the year 1811 has increased 66 per
cent., the commitments for crime had been 500 per
cent., while the increase in emigration since 1821
had been 1,900 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) The
fall in the price cf corn during that period
had been 60 per cent. In the year 1811 corn was 108 s.
a quarter, in 1849 it was 445. a quarter. Well, then, he
wanted to know, what advantage this system of cheap-
reis and falling prices had been to the working classes ?
Why had they so little confidence in their free-trade
principle that they dared only compare the first of the
three years of free trade with the year of
proverbial distress ? In 1840 the price of wheat
being 87s. a quarter, the number of paupers relieved
amounted to 1,199,000!., and in 1848 the number of
paupers relieved was I,B76,ooo—(Hear, hear.) In
1846, when the price of wheat was 545. Bd. a quarter,
the in-door paupers were 445,000; in 1848 they amounted
to 4,294,000; and in 1849 there was only a reduction of
400,000 although in the previous year of 1848 there bad
been an increase of 1,000,000!. in the poor-rates. In
1846 the price of wheat was 545. Bd. per quarter; in
1849 it was 445., and in 1848 it was 508. He contended
that those facts showed that where there had been a
high remunerating price cf corn the poor-rates
had been less and the number of paupers
relieved bad been less. He believed that a large propor-
tion of the working classes in this country are
employed on the land. If there was not a profit
on the productions and tho cultivation of the land
there could not be certain employment or good wages for
the labourer. It was because he wanted
to give the labourer a sufficiency of the
necessaries cf life that he was in
favour of protection generally. If they could prove by
practice that the working classes, as a body, were better
fed, betrer clothed, and more happy and comfortable
under a low price of corn than under a high one he
would for once be a convert to the principles of free
trade. But in his short exrerience he had never yet
seen that to be the case. On the contrary, he had seen
that whenever corn had fallen most in price, he had also
seen :the country pinched the most ; and
therefore he was of opinion that of this
cheapness which they hed now got was
allowed to go on much further his Noble Friend at the
heal of the Government instead of being staggered at
the proposition of the Hon. Member for the West
Riding for a diminution of 6,000/. in the expencli-
tu:e, he would have to prepare himself
for something more than that.—(Hear, hear.)

From 1811 to 1820 the average price of corn was 955.,
and the average amount of poor and county rate was
6,100,0001 per annum. But if they took the average of
the price of wheat twice a week in the four years
preceding the full enaotment of the poor-laws, namely,
in 1532, 1833, 1834, 1835, it was 445. a quarter. During
those years the average amount of the poor and county
rate was 8,100,0001., so that it was evident that the
condition of the poor was not in any way dependent upon
the high price of corn. When whe‘t was at 955. a quar-
ter the poor and county rate amounted to 6,100,0001. ;
in the other year to which he had alluded when wheat
was 445. a quarter, the poor and county-rate
was 8,100,000/. Like the Right Honourable
Bdrsnet, the Member for Tamworth, ho desired that
corn should range between 565. and 60s. a quarter, for
he believed that price would not only remunerate
the farmer, but aiso cause good wages to
the working manufacturer. (Haar, hear.) From
1822 to 1849, taking the time from the Bill for enhanc-
ing the value of the currency came into full operation,
the price was on an average 595. a quarter. But if he
excepted the notoriously scarce years of 1828, 1831.
1839, and 1847, the price would have been 535. a quarter,
Lest he might be said to be taking a solitary instance,
he would take the years 1832-3-4 5, in which the
revenue was 46,C00,000/. and the price of wheat 445.
He did not attach more importance to them
fact than it was worth, but it was a significant warn-
ing to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government.
If ho thought that the change which had taken Owe
could take place with no:other revision of taxation than had
already taken plbee ; if he thoughtlthat they had arrived
at the end of the journey of free trade he was mistaken.
They were scarcely strived at the first stage. He
would have to encounter war to the knife
between British wages and foreign wages, be•
twecn a country with poor-laws and! the world without
He thought that the tendency of the present system was
to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and it
would be a ell if that House in which they sat would not
be shaken to the foundations by the conflict.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, March 12.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India sugar were
for the most part disinclined make any further con-
cession in the value, still refiners and grocers operated
with much caution. The private purchases were only
350 hhds, &c., and none was offered at public sale; for
low to fiao brown the value is from 33s 6d to 35s 6d,
yellow 35a 6d to 403, and grey 34s to 38s per cwt.
REPINED.--To-day there was greater dulness in the
market for Refined Sum, and prices declined; brown
Lumps were sold at 478 6d to 48s, and fair to good
grocery 488 6tl to 50.. There are free sellers of Crushed
Sugar at the rates quoted, but few buyers are to be met
with.

MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon the demand for Mauri-
tius begat was not more active, The public sales of
5,360 bags sient at a reduction on Friday's rates of 6d
per cwt, but all sold; fine yellow went at 38s 6d, mid-
&kg and hood 36s 6d to 38s, low 35s to 365, brown 28s
6d, better sort 33s to 345, and refining kinds 34s to 38s

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire
to operate in Bengal Sugar, and at public sale cf 4,886
bags not above 1 alf sold at rather lower rates; low to mid
white Benares went at 37s to 335, bet'er sort 38s 6d to 411,
low and aid yellow, like Mauritius, 33s to 36s 6d, and
Khaur 28s to 28s 6d. Of Madras 6,503 bags were of-
fered, and went at easier prices, but the chi( f part sold;
gocd and fine strong white 423 to 43s 6d, si ft yellow
33s to 358 6d, urd 31s to 32., and brown 28s to 30s
per cwt.

FOREIGN.—Tc-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but by private treaty 11,000 bags ( f greyish Mu.
nilla were sold at 19s per cwt in bond. The market has
a quiet appearance, and prices tend downwards.
UocoA.—West India continues to be dealt in with
cauti,m, and there are sellers rather under former rates.
There are lew buyers of Foreign, and 30s to 31s per cwt
is the nearest value.

TEA.—Prices have not improved for common Congou,
still the demand has been more active, at 91d to 10d.
In medium kinds a fair bnsiness has been concluded at
lld to Is 2d, and the market is firm. There are still few
buyers of good and fine sorts, whilst a desire is evinced to
sell at from is 3d to is 9d. Some parcels of low sorts were
again taken by shippers. Fine and good kinds of Green
sell well at fully former terms, but there are now buyers
of low and middling, still holders are not disposed to
press sales. For Scented Caper and Pekoe Tea a more
active demand exists, and late t ates are well supported.
MOLASSES.—In West India few sales have been made
by private treaty. At auction 600 puns Barbadoes were
taken in at 17s 63, but a small larcel of St. Vince'. ts
found buyers at 16s. There is a dull sale for East India
at 13s to 141. _ _

COFFEE.—To-day there was much inactivity in the
Corea market, and for all purposes the private opera-
tions are trifling, whilst none of any kind was offered at
public srlo; prices were again depressed, and the latest
operations in good ord Native Ceylon went at 54s to 55s
per cwt.
EICE.—The quantity of East India declared far auc •
tion on Thursday and Friday amounts to 5,400 bgs and
815 pkts. There are sellers of inferior sorts by
private treaty at a further reduction, yet all
parties continue to operate: with much caution; for
superior white full terms are asked, still few
buyers are to be met with. At auction 1,200 bgs
of Penang were taken in, but said afterwards at
the low rates of 6s 6d to 7s for ord and cargo mixed.
The value of good mid to fine white Bengal is
9s 6d to lls mid, and inferior 8s to 9s, cargo
7s to 7s 6d, and Madras Pinkey white 8s to 9s per cwt.

SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea is not much wanted; and at
pubic sale, a part only of 291 chests found buyers at
1055 to 107 s 6d fur mid to good. Cassia Buds are to
be had at 110 s to 115 s. With shipping kinds of
Ginger the market continues to be freely sup-
cl. At suction 1,690 pockets and 900 bags of
.Bengal sold at 19s 6d to 21s for middling to good
bold rough. Home trade kinds are still in small supply,
and the value of Jamaica may be reckoned at 4110 s to
101 109, East India 30s to 40s, Barbadoes and African at
35s to 40s. In black Pepper only small purchases
have been made privately by
3id to 30. Only small
te
shippers or
home dealers. Malabar is quoted at aid to
s4akies have
d,
Sumatra
been madeand
is quit t for Pimento at Gd to 64d. There are sellers of
low and jungle sorts of Cinnamon at lower rates, and
few buyers are to bo met with. For better sorts orders
are small, and last quarterly sales rates with
Penangin whiat 5d to 9d. The market
difficulty are kept
,tIP- Of nutmegs, a fair
quantity has been soli, brown is at 2s 6d to
35 Gd, and superior 33 8d to 43 4d. Mace is wanted at
2s 3d to 2s 6d, and bet er sort 25 7d to 2s 100. Cloves
met with little attention—Bencoleu is submitted at is Gd
to 2e, Penang is '2d to is 9d, African and Bourbon lid
to 8d per lb.
SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island Rum orders have be-
come small, and on the part of holders there is less firm-
ness, whilst the rates accpted are is 44d to is Sid proof.
East India met with little attention, and Is 4d to is
4}l is the value, whilst prices tend downwards.
In Demerara only small sales have been made at
2s 3d to 2s 6d far 30 to 40 per cent, over proof, and
a reduction is looked for. Jamaica met with little
attention from shippers or home dealers, whilst previous
terms are not to be obtained. The limited orders
executed have been at 2s 4d to 3s for 28 to 35 over,
better sort 35 2d to 35 6d, and choice marks 3s 8d to 45
per gallon. Brandy—The value of Cognac, best brands
of the vintage of 1849, is 45 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 (lifts 4s 8d
to 4s 10d; 1847 ditto, 53 3d to 53 sd; and inferior
toe ti 3s to :4s. The value of British made Spirit is
still 9s 6d, but the demand is not active. There is no
variation in the value of Gin
; only small sales have
been made in Geneva at Is 9d to is 10d for common, and
fine 2s 3d to 3s 3d per gallon.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the demand was not
better for Cochineal, and at auction 22 bags of black
Honduras went 2d per lb cheaper, ord to fine from 3s 9d
to 5s 4d.
latmao.—This afternoon at public sale 32 srns of
Guatimala Indigo sold at 2s 5d to 3s, and better sorts
