SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY._

STANDARD.—We hope that some Member of the House
of Commons will move that the petition presented last night
by Mr. Sheil, on the part of certain Italian refugees, be
printed. We do not express this wish from any respectful
feeling to the petition or the petitioners, but from an opposite
feeling. We look upon the whole proceeding as one of most
unjustifiable impertinence on the part of the petitioners,
and of indiscretion at least on the part of the
Right llonourable Gentleman who presented such
a petition from such persons. The petition, as far as we can
understand it from the account given by the reporters, un-
waches the veracity of Lord Aberdeen or Lord Seaton, or
both. Now, such a mode of replying to a Minister, even on
the part of Englishmen, would be held to be uncourteous.
An Englishman, wronged by a mis-statement, would
be expected to state the wrong to some Member of Par-
liament, and leave the subject to his management and
discretion ; he would not dare to offer an insolent libel to
either. House of Parliament under the pretext of a petition,
even were he himself concerned, much less where he had no
personal interest whatever in the matter. But here are a
knot of Italian fugitives, living on sufferance in this country,
about whom nobody knows anything, and whom, therefore,
we will not call vagabonds any more than we will
admit them to be necessarily, respectable persons.
Here are these persons, presuming to take liberties with the
character of the public servants of the country, such as no
Englishman would take, and such as no Member of Parlia-
ment would aid an. Englishman in taking. Surely the House
of Commons ought, for the sake of its own character, to
look carefully into the affair—let the petition be printed—
let the petitioners be ascertained to exist (for even this
is doubtful)—let their character and original status be
inquired into, and the nature of the crime for which
they were driven from their own country, and then let them
be required to support the allegations of their petition at the
bar of the House. It may be relied upon that we shall have
plenty more such petitions, if the House does not take some
order in the affair.

GLOBE.—The Customs Duties Bill will be proceeded with
this evening; in the order in which each item is found in the
list the entire removal or modification of the import duty
upon the respective articles included in the Bill will be brought
under the consideration of the House. In connexion with the
reduction in the sugar duties, the appeal of the sugar re-
finers for a drawback on so much of their stock in hand 'as
shall be remaining in their sugar houses at the time
the reduced duties come into operation, will be brought, by
petition, before the House of Commons. A copy of the case
and of the petition founded on it are before us. If the facts
stated be supported by evidence—and the sugar refiners offer
to adduce evidence to substantiate their statements either
before a Committee or at the bar of the House—there is a
case embodying serious loss and positive injury to the parties,
which the House of Commons is-called upon to prevent; and
which, if not averted, will render the houses engaged in the
sugar-refining trade victims to the financial policy of the
Government. The grounds en which the sugar refiners rest
their case are, generally, these :-1. The operations of sugar
refining are slow; the refiners are therefore compelled to
hold large quantities of duty-paid goods in process. The
stock in hand will be depreciated to the extent of one-fifth ;
and this diminution in the value of the stock of refined
sugar in the several stages of refining, will, if the draw-
back be not allowed, inflict upon a comparatively few indi-
viduals an aggregate loss of many thousand pounds.
Two members of the deputation who recently waited on Sir
Robert Peel are threatened with a loss of 10,000/. each. 2.
That this loss would have been prevented had the announce-
ment of the intended change been made in June when the
sugar duties are annually voted ; or in April, when the finan-
cial measures of the year are ordinarily brought forward. If
the Government deemed it necessary to conceal their plans,
and this year to anticipate the period when the Budget is
usually brought forward, the sugar refiners—who were in-
duced to continue their operations, unaware of the financial
plans of Ministers—should, at least, be protected froth the
serious—in many instances ruinous—consequences with which
they are threatened by the large reduction in value of their
stock in hand. It appears to us that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in his financial exposition, has conceded the very
point on which the sugar refiners rest their case. " If,"
said Mr. Goulburn, " as in 1830, the reduction of duty
were made without notice that the duty would be altered
at an early period, the grocers and refiners would be entitled
to such redress as was then afforded to both." The refiners
deny that any such notice was given to them. They chal-
lenge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the proof.
They are content to rest their case on the grounds
on which he has placed it. The onus probandi is with
the Minister. When ?—Where ?—How ?—By whom ?
—was the notice given. The appellants cannot be called
upon to prove the negative. They simply deny the imputed
warning. That the notice was given is matter of official
knowledge, and is capable of official proof. The petitioners
call upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer for evidence. If
it be not forthcoming, the case of the petitioners is admitted by
the Right Hon. Functionary himself. The large amount which
would be required to meet the claims for drawback has been
also adduced as a reason for rejecting the sugar refiners' appeal.
.__The reason assigned by the Government is manifestly an argu-
ment for the claimants. If the sum required be arge, then
the refusal will involve the loss of that large sum among the
refiners—few in number; and therefore each must suffer to an
amount which individual ability will be unable to bear. sever
before was the magnitude of a just claim converted into an
argument against doing justice. In the case of glass, Sir
Robert Peel expressed himself against allowing the draw-
back on the stock in hand. The manufacturers met,
and determined on seeking an interview with the Right
Hon. Baronet. He heard their case; inquiry and recon-
sideration produced a change in his opinion ; and the
manufacturers of glass will have the drawback allowed
en their stock in hand. The Government has here
conceded the principle of allowing a drawback of
the duty paid oa stock in hand. The rule which is set up, in
bar of the claim made by the sugar refiners, viz.:—" It is
almost the invariable practice, with respect to Customs
Duties, not to allow a drawback on a reduction of the
duty"—implies that exceptions sometimes occur. By
allowing the drawback on glass, the Government
has placed an interpretation on its own rule favourable
to the claim of the sugar refiners. It will be for the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to show that there is anything in
the case of the latter which can be justly and equitably
urged as a reason for their not being dealt with on the same
principle as that applied to the glass manufacturers. The
sugar refiners ask nothing more. They ought not to
have less.

Corporation of London were treated with indignity upon an
occasion on which it was most necessary that so essential a privi-
lege as that of the violation of which they complained should
have been acknowledged and respected.
The subject was ultimately referred to the Royal Hospitals
Committee.
The CITY REMEMBRANCE r, announced that a Bill had been
brought into Parliament for the removal of certain disabilities
under which the Jews were labouring.—( Cheers.)
Mr. ANDERTON gave notice that lie should move, at the
Court, that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parlia-
n.ent to pass an Act to regulate the interment of the dead in
churches and church-yards, in large towns and cities, and pre•
vent the violation of graves. Also to pass an Act to prevent
nuisances arising from the smoke of steam-engines and fur-
naces in manufactories and buildings situate in and near the
Cities of London and Westminster, and steam-boats on the
river Thames.

THE JEWS.
Mr. ASHURST moved that the Court should petition Parlia-
ment to extend the relief given by the Ist and 2d Victoria, c.
5 and 15, by which Quakers, Moravians, and Separatists were
enabled to make affirmations consistent with their religious
persuasions, to all her Majesty's subjects.
he motion was seconded by Mr. Deputy STEVENS, and,
after a short discut,sion, agreed to unanimously.
Sheriff SIDNEY presented a petition from the Committee
of the Society for the Cure of Consumption and Diseases of
the Chest, for a grant in aid of the funds. He ably supported
the prayer of the petition, and stated that the hospital, although
a very new institution, la ttd already relieved 200 cases.
Mr. BOWER seconded the motion that the petition be re-
ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Fnance Committee.
After a few observations from Sir PETER LAURIE and
Deputy CORNEY, the motion was agreed to.
BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.

Alderman JOHNSON presented a petition from the Com-
mittee for creating and promoting the establishment of baths
and wash-houses for the labouring classes to treat for the pur-
chase or renting of part of Farringdon-market, for the first
model establishment. After some discussion the motion was
negatived.—Adjourned.
