CHINESE RANSOM.

Sir C. NAPIER asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the Canton ransom was included in the
receipts of what was called the Chinese money, and if so, what
had become of it?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Canton ransom was received immediately after the close of the
war ; the money that was now being received arose from
the instalments which the Chinese Government agreed by
treaty to pay as the indemnity to this country for the expenses
of the war.

Sir C. NAPIER asked what had become of the former
money ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER saichras he had
received no notice of the question. he was unable to give an
answer to the Hon. and Gallant Officer.
SUGAR DU LIES.

Mr. WODEHOUSE wished to ask a question of the Go-
vernment connected with the discussion of that evening. He
wished to know whether it was the settled intention of her
Majesty's Government to apply the reduction of the duty on
sugars to all places alike, and at the same time, making do dis-
tinction whatever between large places like the metropolis,
where the traders bad the advantage of bonding, and could
draw out their stock as a demand might arise, and country
places, who, not having the advantage, were obliged to hold
larger stocks ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had
had notice of the question, and he could have no hesitation in
saying that it had never been the practice to make any differ-
ence in the payment of duty between persons who bonded
sugar in warehouses, and those residing in other parts of the
country ; it was not the intention of the Government to intro-
duce any change in that respect.
MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND).
Dr. BOWRING wished to ask a question, of which he had
given notice, and as the Hon. Gentleman was familiar with the
evidence, he hoped he would net decline to answer the ques-
tion. It teemed that in the South Dublin Union some poor-
law guardians had applied to the Poor-law Commio
sioners on the subject of a rumour that had gone
abroad of the negotiation of a sale of a medical office held
under the Medical Charities Bill. That communication was
acknowledged on the part of the Po: r-law Commissioners,
and sent to the Guardians of the South Dublin Union. He
wished to ask whether the Government were disposed to lay on the
table of the House the whole of the correspondence on the subject?
Mr. HOPE—In answer to the Hon. Member, he begged to
say, that the subject to which his question applied had been
referred to the Poor-law Commissioners, and they said they
would make the necessary inquiries and report upon it ; but
that report had not yet been made ; when it had it should be
laid upon the table of the House, and perhaps until then the
Hon. Member would have no objection to postpone his motion.
