FREE AND SLAVE LABOUR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.
Sin,—Fully coinciding in the sentiments expressed in
your leading article of the 26th ult., previous to the debate
on Lord John Russell's motion, namely, that " the distinc-
tion sought to be established by the present Government
between free and slave labour is a fiscal innovation, and
that, although we have a right to regulate the mode of pro-
duction in our own colonies, we have neither precept nor pre-
cedent for dictating to other nations what description of
labour they shall employ;" lam prompted to state some addi-
tional arguments to those you have adduced, showing the
danger and folly of such departure from the usual practice
amongst independent and civilised States.
If any foreign nation or Government interfered or dictated
to us, in regard to the employment of slaves or free men in
our colonies, of women and children in our coal-pits, or in
regard to the hours for labour in our factories, what should
we think, say, or do ? If they prohibited by heavy diffe-
rential duties the importation of the produce of our mines and
of our spinning jennies, we could have no right, rhyme, or
reason for complaint, after having ourselves established such
principles offoreign policy.
After the evidence produced before the Committee of the
House of Commons, on Lord Ashley's motion, foreign coun-
tries, particularly Brazils (where the slaves are treated with
the greatest humanity) can, with great truth and justice, say
to us—" We will not, wear your cotton manufactures, nor
burn your coals, which occasions so much misery and such a
sacrifice of human life; we will therefore put a higher rate of
duty, amounting to exclu-ion, on your coals and merchan-
dise, in favour of other countries, where bread and corn being
cheaper, no such super. human exertions are required to raise
the oae or produce the other."
Once the principle established and precedent afforded,
there is no calculating to whet extent it might be carried.
The United States, for instance, might argue, in order to
justify a monopoly in favour of their manufactures, that
as their cotton imported into the United Kingdom occasioned
all the cruel treatment of the women and children employed
in our factories, they would prohibit or prevent (by the im-
position of heavy duties) the exportation of that article,
because they would not be accessories to such treatment;
and, they might add, that we could not complain of this
fiscal innovation, since, haying such an aversion to slave-
labour sugar, we ought to have the same objection to slave-
labour cotton ; they would be thereby consulting our con-
sciences more than we did ourselves, who strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel.
Our conscientious Ministry plead the necessity of preserv-
ing our West India planters from that total ruin to which
they have been exposed by the operation of an Act of Par-
liament, which, against their will, and without their consent,
converted their slave into fr,e labour—for which pur-
pose it is expedient to prohibit slave-labour sugar in
order to prevent its entering into competition with that of
our colonies (they know well enough that the competition
of free-labour sugar will be trifling, if any). This may be all
very well so far as our own colonies are concerned, but let
us look at the other side of the question, and ask ourselves
by what principle of foreign policy, by what precedent of
commercial practice, can we prescribe to other countries,
that in regard to the article of sugar they shall not use slave-
labour, whilst we permit and encourage it in respect of cot-
ton, tobacco, rice, and coffee?
Brother Jonathan is already pushing the manufacture of
his cotton into cloth to some extent, and when he perceives
that we are taking off the duty on its importation into this
country, the better to enable our manufacturers to compete
with theirs in a foreign market, who can say that he will not
avail himself of the example we set him, and by such a fiscal
innovation as above alluded to give a death-blow to our
manufactories in Lancashire and Lanarkshire. Heaven for-
bid that the headstrong folly of our governors should lead to
such a disastrous result !
Such, however, is the predicament in which we are placed
by the attempt to dictate to Brazils and Cuba, foreign coun-
tries, what labour they shall employ in the cultivation of
their soil ; for, of course, if we are authorised by any inter-
national law, or rights of nations, to prescribe laws to Cuba
and Brazils am to what labour they shall employ, we are
equally entitled to do so to the United States or any other
country—and they to us ! .

THE SUGAR DUTIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The alteration in the sugar duties will do little good
to the consumer; Manilla and China sugar, equal to aver-
age Jamaica, cannot be produced under 21s. per cwt., add
28s. to this, and you have 495. import merchants' price, duty
paid; this price cost to producer 21e. I have confirmed by
last China Overland. Hindostan, Penang, and the Malacca
Straits settlements can, however, produce good average sugar
at id. per lb. less there, it is said% but, at all events, at 11/2d.
per lb. laid down in England—this is freight and all charges
included. The East and West being now subjected to com-
petition, we must just have a little patience till we see what
comes next as a further advance towards free trite.

LATE FIRE AT GREENWICH.
(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.)
Since the burning of St. Olave's Church and Topping's
Wharf, about eighteen months ago, no calamity has happened
in or around the metropolis attended with such extensive loss
of property as th • dreadful fire which overwhelmed the works
of Messrs. Enderby and Brother, near Greenwich, on Sunday
night last, and which we noticed in yesterday's journal.
Throughout yesterday active measures were taken by Mr.
Enderby and the firemen to discover, if possible, the origin
of the fire, but the further theyientered into the subject, the
greater was it absorbed in mystery. It is clearly proved that
the flames wers first seen raging in the store-room of the
rope-manufactory, which was detached from the main build-
ing, into which a light has not been known to enter for
several weeks. There was a considerable quantity of manu-
factured goods deposited therein, which were seen perfectly
safe a few hours before the outbreak. The supposition is,
therefore, that it either arose from spontaneous combustion,
or was wilfully caused by some incendiary. In the course
of yesterday the ruins were inspected by the surveyor of
the district, and those connected with the Imperial and
Royal Exchange fire-offices, and from their report we
collect the exact damage done to the property. The factory,
or waterside premises, containing joiners' workshopS, spin-
ning, card, and loom rooms, a total destruction. The
hemp and spinning rooms, over the engine and boiler-
house, burned, and the iron roof fallen in. The engine-room
beneath considerably damaged. The wearing workshops
fronting the factory greatly damaged, the roof having been
partly demolished by the falling of the opposite walls ; it con-
tained twelve weaving looms worked by machinery, all da-
maged. The dwelling-house of Mr. Enderby, jun., on the
north side of the factory, partly damaged by fire ; most part
of the furniture and its contents destroyed. The stores at
the back, where the fire commenced, with part of the rope
manufactory, destroyed; the former building was about 70
feet in length. The rope gallery, adjoining the manufactory,
is a quarter of a mile in length ; about 100 feet is gone, and
but for the firemen cutting off the communication, the whole
would have been levelled to the ground. The hemp that was
saved from the adjacent stores (several tons in weight) was
scattered over the meadows adjoining. The amount of in-
surances effected on the property does not, we understand,
exceed 6,0001., while the total loss," we are credibly in
formed, is between 40,0001. and 50,0001. Unhappily, upwards
of 250 workmen are thrown out of employment by this ca-
lamitous event.

Yours truly,
Allonby, March 1, 1845.

" We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on eur minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus.
" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous styie in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a carefill perusal."—Era.

DEATH OF LORD WYNFORD.
This nobleman, the Right Hon. William Draper Best, P.C.,
D.C.L., first Baron Wynt'ord, died yesterday morning, at his
seat, Leesons, Kent. The deceased nobleman was born in
1767, and consequently had attained his seventy-eighth ,ear.
In 1794 he married the second daughter of Jerome ICnap,
Esq., who has been some years dead, and by whom he had
ten children, four of whom only, however, survive him,
namely, the Hen, William Samuel, who succeeds to the title,
born 1798, and married the youngest daughter of William
Hoytt, Esq., of Berkshire; the Hon. Captain Thomas Best,
R.N., married to the second daughter of Lord Kenyon ; the
Hon. and Rev. Samuel Best, rector of Abbott Anne, Hants.,
and married the youngest daughter of Sir James Borough,
late one of the Judges of the Common Pleas; and the Hon.
Grace Anne, married to Phillip Luke Godsal, Esq.
The late Peer held for some time a confidential office in the
household of George the Fourth when Prince Regent, and
was afterwards for many years a distinguished advocate in
the Court of Common Pleas as Sergeant Best. In 1819 his
Lordship was appointed one of the Judges of the Court of
King's Bench, and in 1824 was raised to the Chief Justiceship
of the Court of Common Pleas, in which he had so long dis-
tinguished himself as a pleader. In 1829 he was elevated to
the Peerage, and then retired from the bench. Lord Wyn-
ford had for many years suffered severely from rheumatic
gout, indeed to the extent of totally paralysing his lower
extremities, but so zealous was he in the performance of his
Parliamentary duties, that he has frequently rolled in a chair
to his seat in the House,:when the privilege was, under these
circumstances accorded to him, of speaking without rising.

EXTENSIVR CONFLAGRATION AT PETERBOROUGH.
—Yesterday (Monday) information was received of the out-
break of a most disastrous fire, at Peterborough, which has
terminated in the loss of property to the amount of 2,0001.
It appears that the fire originated in the candle-house, be-
longing to Mr. W. Vergette, grocer and tallow chandler.
The premises are of considerable extent, and at the time, in-
dependently of the stock in trade, there was no less than
2,000 lbs. of mould candles, and a vast quantity of dip lights.
Notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the firemen who had
charge of the parish engines, and Earl Fitzwilliam's from
Milton, the flames continued to progress with extraordinary
fury until the whole of the candle-house and its contents
were destroyed. The. fire then extended to the adjoining
houses, occupied severally by Mr. Black, grocer; Mr. Whit-
well, druggist; Mr. Bray, cabinet-maker; and Mr. Pike, of
the Black Boy and Trumpet, the whole of which property
was most severely injured by fire, water, and removal. By
six o'clock the flames were subdued, but not before several
thousand pounds' damage was done to the stock and buildings
belonging to, and in the occupation of the several parties,
most of whom are said to be insured. The fire was caused
by the boiling over of a copper of tallow.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WESTMINSTER:Lad night,
between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire of an
alarming character broke out upon the premises occupied by
Mr. Quin, general dealer, carrying on business at No. 88,
Great Peter- street, Westminster. Police-constable White,
No. 100 of the B division, saw smoke issuing out of the
street-door, and he immediately gave the alarm, and after
considerable difficulty he succeeded in awaking the inmates,
consisting of four families, exclusive of Mr. Quin, who was
attending a charitable meeting opposite. Several of the
parties were fortunate enough to effect their escape, without
experiencing any greater difficulty than having to wade
through the smoke. A stone-mason of the name of Cronin,
however, who occupied the second floor, being aroused from
his slumbers, not being able to descend the staircase on ac-
count of the fire rushing upwards with such impetuosity,
was obliged to resort to the fearful expedient of throwing
himself out of window. Fortunately he had the presence of
mind to throw a bed out first, and falling upon it, he received
little or no injury. Intelligence of the outbreak was
promptly forwarded to the engine-stations, and not many
minutes elapsed before the brigade engine from the Horse-
ferry-road arrived, followed by the West of England one
from Waterloo-road, with Mr. Connorton. These were
quickly set to work from an abundant supply of water fur-
nished by the Chelsea works, and after considerable trouble,
the firemen obtained the mastery over the flames; but they
were not completely subdued until the premises in whickthey
originated were entirely gutted, and the adjoining house
(No. 87) extensively injured by fire and water. The origin
of the calamity is unknown, and unfortunately most of the
sufferers are uninsured.

HACKNEY.—To the survise of not a few of his
parishoners, the Rey. T. 0. broodchild did not, as he had
promised, appear in his black gown on Sunday. He an-
nounced, however, that he would do so in future, and that
in all respects the performance of divine service should re-
vert back to the old forms, save
and except in one particu-
lar, viz., the use of the surplice in preaching on the day
when the sacrament is administered. He would not, he
said, insist even on this, at present, but. should reserve to
himself the right to do so hereafter, when the present un-
comfortable state of excitement had passed away. That is
to say, as soon as ever all irritable feelings between the
" ecclesiastical head" of Hackney and his flock are allayed,
he will adopt a course which shall revive them again in
fresh vigour.

Much disappointment is expressed in the City at the many
delays that have occurred, and which are likely to occur in
the settlement of the Sugar Duties. It is thought, in practi-
cal circles, that Sir Robert Peel ought to have made himself
fully master of the subject as respects classification long be-
fore he brought forward the Tariff; as it is, losses will accrue
by the want of purchasers at a time when any doubts exist in
the public mind as to what may, or may not :lie,the resolves
of the Legislature upon questions connected with the Customs
or the Excise Duties.
The circular of Chaloner and Co. of Liverpool, relative to
the Timber trade thus sensibly remarks :
" In consequence of Sir Robert Peel's intention to remove
the duty on all descriptions of staves, there has been a
pause in the demand until it can be seen what direction
the market will take. For the present, it is likely that
prices will be maintained until supplies can come forward
from the United States, from which place we are sure to hive
a largely increased and revived trade, as well as from the
Baltic, though probably not for this year; but as regards
this port, we more particularly expect large supplies from
the United States, and at such prices, through absence of
duty and reduced freight, as will restore to our coopers the
West India trade, which has been nearly lost to thorn. We
do not alter our quotations for the present, although holders
are more inclined to sell than they were before Sir R. Peel's
announcement.
" Sir R. Peel having announced his intention of taking the
duty off all furniture woods, has thus, to the fullest extent,
thrown the trade open for the benefit of the British cabinet-
maker, who may now be expected to be able to compete with
the foreign manufacturer in every market in the world. The
Premier's determination on this head cannot be too highly
appreciated, and we look for a largely increased trade in
every article. The removal of the auction duty, also, and
the fetters imposed by the Excise restrictions, is another
great boon to this particular branch of trade, which, in this
port, is invariably conducted through means of public
auction."
From the monthly resume of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewes
bury, relative to the state of the dry-saltery trade, the fol
lowing remarks are not without interest at the presen
moment :

" It is quite true that agriculture and trade require relief,
but all cannot be done at once; yet we have reason to believe
that before long, a Select Committee will be appointed to in-
quire into our fiscal laws, with a view to the revision of them,
and that such evidence will be adduced before that Com-

mittee, of the necessity of improving the system, that by
merely simplifying it and preventing frauds, a revenue may
be obtained to meet the annual disbursements, comprising
the total repeal of the assessed taxes and Excise laws, with-
out the imposition of a single additional tax, and leave a
large surplus towards liquidating the public debt. Should
this be adopted, agriculture and trade, so far as the Legis-
lature is concerned, cannot fail to prosper.
" From the manufacturing districts the accounts continue
favourable; the same activity in almost every branch is quite
equal to what it has been for months, and up to this time
both manufacturers and dealers seem to act with caution.

" The last accounts from the United States are by no
means encouraging for European manufactures, but are very
important to capitalists, inasmuch as the payment of the
dividends on the Pennsylvanian Debt have been resumed.
This we always maintained would be the case, notwithstanding
the Shylock wailings of the cosmopolites, and the ravings of
those who wish to destroy the good understanding which
exists, and the reciprocal advantages of the two nations.
" The intermediate overland mail from India, to the Sth
January, brings no good news for the manufacturers of this
country. Money was said to be abundant, but not to pur-
chase their commodities. Produce, however, was selling,
generally, at rates unprofitable to these who had to ship to
this market, notwithstanding the great abundance of all the
leading articles."
