" Sin,—ln your leading comments of Saturday and
yesterday upon the debate on the sugar duties, you
have conveyed the impression that, whilst Lord John
Russell and his party were opposed to the exclusion of
slave-labour sugar, the: free-traders who voted with the
Government were supporters of that absurd discrimina-
tion. I trust you will, in fairness, permit me to inform your
readers that Mr. Miles's amendment and the Government
plan both excluded slave-grown sugar. So far from the
free-traders having sanctioned the principle of distinguish-
ing between free and slave labour produce, you will find that
they recorded their votes upon Mr. Ewart's motion in favour
of the equalisation of the duties upon all foreign and colonial
sugars.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" A. W. PAULTON."
We have given no support to Mr. Miles's amendment,
1905 and we have conveyed no impression with regard to the
25°00 conduct of those gentlemen who put forth " Free Trade"
;107 as their only symbol of political union, except such as
19 4 3151 we directly derived from the defence of their own ablest
65
organ. That impression we may briefly reproduce as
O 0 1(4363 follows :—Those gentlemen say that their "only ac-
-162% knowledgment of party compact is strictly bound up in
_
is the advancement of" the single principle of free trade.
0 0 They assume the right, therefore, to ask no other
= 3g°B question with regard to this Government measure than
—. 185 —whether the scale of duties proposed by Government
14 or their opponents approach nearest to free trade. That
Z 61114 i right we should admit unreservedly, were no other
B^' considerations involved in this question. Were it a
141 mere question of figures between two scales—were it
73
1175 merely a question whether Sir Robert Peel's figures,
158 or Mr. Miles's, should be preferred, we should not dis-
- 2°
117 puce their preference. indeed, as matters stand, we
260 should hardly have thought it necessary to criticise
1 Pa-
id 15 their choice, if it were not put forward, with some con-
-
% 965 fidence, for " the approbation and imitation of others."
502
40 This is a tone and style which challenges animadver-
-25 sion. We dispute altogether that a single commercial
62
120 principle should guide all public action. We say
130 that the higher principles of national conduct are
4it to be at all risks, and on all occasions, and by every
individual vote, vindicated ; and that, if those prin-
, sso
° ciples are invaded by this Sugar Bill of the
240 Government, no risk of inconvenience, from the
28 possible event of delay in substituting something better
43 lO for it, should have swayed the vote of a single man, who
176 preferred his character as Englishman to any immediate
122 interest as trader or consumer. If this language is
1251
% strange to gentlemen, whose " only acknowledgment of
party compact" is a principle of trade, we can only say
Iwe are sorry for it. Our idea of conduct in national
i matters embraces trade certainly—but something more.
70 ; Our idea of the duty of all men in all their votes
ig,.. 1 upon this Sugar Bill is—that they should first ask
' themselves—not whether this or that figure of any scale
is eligible for the present year—but whether this or
lb that principle of national legislation is to confront the
world as English. It is this which legislators have
101% first to lay to heart, even before next year's
consumption. A new, principle is propounded
to regulate our dealings with friendly nations. Is it
21 sound or vicious—calculated to maintain or lower our
3
Hi national character—calculated to simplify or embarrass
9 our relations with the great family of mankind ?
2o 24 We have not hesitated to say that any conceivable
g
inconvenience of the moment is escaped too dearly by
28J setting up a wrong principle in the face of all nations,
simply to cover the retreat of the ruling party here from
o
0 0 72% a false position. Even regarded in a solely commercial
o 0 18„.. point of view, the adoption of such a principle
O o 6.g is stated by the able free-trade organ above
0 0 17 alluded to, as calculated to give " just cause
0 0
O 0 34 of offence and estrangement," and provoke men-
-0 o 6% sures of retaliation. Even, therefore, with sole re-
-10 0 6% ference to immediate commercial interests, we deem
0 o
0 0 5 this a good reason for resisting such a mea-
)6 0 400 sure at every stage. But, we repeat, there are higher
11 id
than immediate commercial interests, important as
/st u.T3i. these are. There are higher than commercial reasons
1 0 0 for giving no men " just cause of offence and es-
loo m 'RN trangement." We contend that, neither in this nor in
10 0 i bye t
case, involving national equity and fair dealing, is
to ( 5 '1 it the part of independent men to calculate whether
00 : :115% their vote may be followed by this or that consequence
13 0 27 of an inferior order to the considerations on which that
oo 0 42 vote is given. It is the duty of legislators to assert, by
0 s%
10 0 15% their every vote, the great principles of legislation. if
1001314 those principles are infringed by this measure, that in-
-5 5 40p, fringement is the " great fact" which should swallow up
0
0 0
,22.. lesser facts in the minds of those who are called upon to
0 ~, represent England to
Inc
world.
....° e 1-7113" STANDARD.— In the Committee of the House of
205 Lords upon the Bill for suppressing brothels, Earl Fitz-
0— 0 42 hardinge, in the indulgence of that pecular taste of
5 0 12% which he has given more than one proof, renewed his
0 0 150 attack upon the Dean and Chapter of Westminster,
charging that venerable body with connivance at the
o 0 44 abuse to immoral purposes of several miserable tene-
-0
0 0 42 ments held by lease under them. The Bishop of
0 42
0 • 196 Gloucester again very clearly demonstrated that the
0 0 is Dean and Chapter were in the matter guiltless even of
0 0 0 26% neglect, inasmuch as they had uniformly refused to
0
o 0 14% renew leases to those who had so infamously perverted
10 0 their property to the service of vice, and bought in the
o 0 ems outstanding leases wherever they had the opportunity.
• 17
10 o 15 That the Dean and Chapter had not waited for this
0 0 , 34N recent rebuke in Parliament, the Right Rev. Lord proved
• • 29:4 by a reference to the letter of Mr. Hunt, their surveyor.
0 o 26% Whether it is Earl Fitzhardinge's purpose, in the course
0 0 1. he takes, to protect brothels, or to asperse the clergy of the
Established Church, we are unable to conjecture. But
04) o 22 whatever may be the design of the Noble Earl,
a 0
e 20 we think it possible that he may have been doing
44
120 good unconsciously. Among other of his Lordship's
0 0 93 invidious remarks, he stated that several noblemen
36
22 and gentlemen d caused to be inserted in building
0 0 7% leases a penal clause, providing that the application of
o
0 o
0 150 any house to be built upon the premises leased shall
5 o 73 work a forfeiture of the lease. These penal clauses are,
o 0 1.0 we know, now very commonly inserted in building
0 0
0 34 leases, but they are altogether a novelty ; there is pro-
-0 66
O 0 2) bably not one lease in existence, forty years
0 o
37 60 old, containing such a clause and of course even
0
o o 72 were the present Chapter of 'Westminster to be held
o o 29 responsible for the acts of their predecessors forty
0 0 31 years ago, they can hardly be blamed for not
0
0 erP haVing thought of a measure of precaution that at the
time had never occurred to any one else. The intro-
-0 0 29
duction of these clauses is curious, and it is to be ex-
- 217 plained:by two causes. First, and most gratifying, the
84 general improvement in morals, manners, and tastes.
_ gig Secondly, the change that has taken place in the
57 system of building, which has given effect to
55 the moral improvement in this manner. For-
-- 13625 merly houses were built singly ; recently they are
built by streets, and even by collections of streets.
0 0 645
Now the builder of a single house, if morally indiffe-
-0 o 92 rent, had no care whatever for his neighbours, but with
o 0 78% the builder of a street or a collection of streets it is dif-
-014 ga ferent—the respectability of the neighbourhood which he
o 6 11YZ is creating is a matter of great pecuniary importance to
0 0 66 him. Th presence of one or two disreputable houses
0 0 2'4 in a street is known prodigiously to depreciate the
0 o 101
O 0 122%. value of all the other houses in that street, and thus the
0 0
22% 77% most profligately regardless of public morals still feels
0 0
o 0 2% the necessity of protecting his property from taint by
o e 59 the penal clauses of which we have spoken. In the case
0 0 5% of old leases, however, a landlord, whether of one or
0
O o 221 more houses in a neighbourhood, is wholly without
0 0 0 109% remedy, though his moral feeling may be outraged,
0° 0 nye and his pecuniary interest, too, injuriously affected
—7% by the abuse of his property. This we believe to be
0 0 •0N precisely the condition of the Dean and Chapter of
219 ,
O 0 24% Westminster. Now the unconscious good for which we
o 0 35 ' give Earl Fitzhardinge credit, is the placing the import-
lB 85 ant subject of the Bishop of Exeter's Bill in this new
_
O o 106 and practically useful light. Whatever the Noble Earl
0 0 56 43% and others like him may think of the obligation of the
0
o 0 0 04 Legislature to guard the morals of the people, all
0 0 93 will admit the duty of Parliament to protect
0 • 47
• 0 57Z property ; but property is, as we have intimated,
0 0 24 enormously depreciated by the proximity of those
0 0 infamous houses which the Bill of the Bishop of
0 0 Ps Exeter would suppress. Might not the Legislature
0 0 V)
o 0 265% wisely and justly interpose to protect property from such
S : ;,16 depreciation by giving the authority of a general law
0 0 123/
to the principle of the penal clauses, of which mention
0 0 1 62% has been made ? What objection, for example, could
there be to a provision added to the Bishop of
11 0 a% Exeter's Bill, to the effect, that a conviction of
1
0
to 0 2 the tenant of any house for using such house as, &c.,
0 2 o ( 3 should operate as a forfeiture of his lease to his
0 0 7 immediate lessor, and so upwards. This would be one
o o Ito 6% of that best kind of laws, laws that execute themselves ;
0 0 5 for the inhabitants of any neighbourhood disgraced and
0 • 1 12% impoverished by one of these abominable nuisances would
to o
0 0 lose no time in effectually relieving themselves from it,
lo 0 20 after the law had supplied them with the means.
0
0 0 26 We have not seen the Bill—it may, for anything we
0 1% know, contain such a provision ,_• but if it does not, that
to
o o 6
O 0 0 9 provision certainly ought to be added.

the farm is in custody on suspicion of having wilfully set the
premises on fire.—Essex Herald.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up the Salmon
Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, and the Brighton and Chiches-
ter Railway Bill.
OPENING LETTERS AT THE POST-OFFICE.
The Earl of RADNOR rose for the purpose of re-
newing the motion which he had made the other even-
ing on the subject of opening letters at the Post-office ;
and he really thought that, consistently with the argu-
ments which he had used the other evening, the Noble
Duke ought to consent to that motion. The principal
argument used against the motion was, that there was
no allegation that the power vested in the Secretary of
State of issuing warrants for opening letters at the Post-
office had been abused. Now their Lordships could not
but be aware, from what had occurred in another place,
that accusations had been made that the power had been
used for purposes for which it was not necessary, and
no attempt had been made to disprove those accusations ;
and he felt that it was necessary that something should
be dope to retrieve the character of the country.—(Hear.)
