, . SAILING MATCH.
Notwith'standing' the circumstance of there being but thre•
boats entered, to crentend, /he above-bridge sailing match for
a Silver Cup- and Cover, given by the Arundel Yacht Club,
wawa very interesting and well-contested match throughout,
and reflects credit uporrthe nautical, skill displayed by the
respective owners. The distance was, as usual, from the
Temple-gartens to Wandsworth-meadows and back, and at
'a little before three the 'following were at their stations :
Hazard,-6. tons,. Messrs. Ackbome and T. Charles (owners),
red with white dice, ;
Surprise, 7 tons, Mr. T.;Edwrirds (owner), blue with red

Bermudian Maid, 7 tcmi, Mr. IL Banes (owner), red over

• There (vas a-fine light breeze from the north-west, and at
five minutes past three, the boats being in .readiness, the
Commodore; T. Hewes, Escf:, gave the signal from his cutter
and :the yachts canted :round.- The Hazard took the lead:,
' and was,closely followed, in her different boards until near
llungerford by the, Surprise, who "there passed her to wind-
wird, and went in advance througb.WeStminster and Vaux-
hall bridges. In the upper Partof Chelsea-reach, thellazard
showed symptoins of a desire :to weather her opPonent, and
the, sailing on, either hand was ,very pretty. Although the
:Hazard was unsuccessful here, in the nekt reach she went by
her adversary to leeward, and first rounded the flag.:boat, at
half-past four, two minutes ahead of the Surprise, who was
about the, same time in advance of the Maid. On the return
down, immediately after passing Battersea-bridge; the Sur-
prisgs clinic alongside of the Hazard? but hav:lng luffed too
much, the latter again went away ; but on her arrival at the
'Red-house, the Strprlea -went by-her and kapt the lead down.
,The. boats came in at the Temple in the following 'order :
The Surprise, 37 minutes past 5; the Hazard, 37 minutes 45
tecends past; and the Maid at 45 minutes past. Whenever
the wind partially died away the latter seemed to creep up,
but otherwise droppediytern.

--The-Directorszeported_that since their last meeting
an imprOveraent,.had- taken place in the affairs of the
Company,by a profit of 10,415 dollars greater than that
of 1843'; this, year realised on the working of the.Supia
Mine, the only establishment no* retained by the Coin-
• pany. One great, evil which had afflicted the 'COncern
'Hitherto was the want of water,iixconsequence of which one-
half of she stlimPingtpoirer of the Company was obliged to
ni
;ieairfiriatctive. There bad been at no time any want
of ore, and lt,appeared, by. the-, statement of n the mine •
agents that the'.ground now opened obit was sufficient to
supply the establishment for five- years, at the rate of
about -10,000 tons, per annum. .Another great drawback
:was . the Joss sustained in the extraction-of the pre-
cious metals. Rrom one last ;year the loss amounted
to - about' 494 per cent. 'in gold. All the
expenses of raising, staMPing, and dreasing the-ore was
incurred, ,and if, by any means, it-were possible to I
tract-all the ores. the gross produce' Would be doubled,
without any increase of the. expense, beyond that of the
mere-extraction,,,
now. some Theloirectors trusted that there was

'(Laughter..) But he would insist that wherever
slavery,existed, the _slave trade. IDUSt parried on.
He vi,ould. not call it hypocrisy, • because ,:hypecrisy
implied some pretence; hut he would say that a more
barefitced indonsistency, one more obvious to the.
meanest'capacity, than the one' contained in• this
clause had never been proposed to Parliament. When
they bad withdrawn all the free labeur sugar from
the market of Europe, of course the deficiency
thus ,Creataci.. in that. Market would be sup-
plied by slave labour, sugar. ThiS was one
invincible_ objection which he entertained to the
measure. There: was, moreover, a constitutional
objection to the clause. By that clause the Govero-
ment took to themselves the. power :of opening the
market by deciding upon the laws, constitutions; and
customs of other Governments.. When Parliament
invested Government with powers of that nature;
they should hty :down rules clearly defining the
principle by which the Government was to be guided,
so that if the Government 'departed froni that principle
,they might be subject to the disapprobation of Parlia-
ment. The Right Hon. Gentleman took upon him-
self .to decide upon all the different degrees of servi-
tude, from the slavery. of Cuba and Brazil to a state of
mere serfdom. :.The. _Government thus, took upon
themselves to judge of the , different Jaws
and custom's of other countries,' and were allowed
to open the market to the produee of any country
which they might determine to be sufficiently tinged
With freedom.—(Hear, hear.) Now that was not a
very intelligible principle. If, instead of that, the
clause had enacted that the British market should be
open, to sugar the produce of all countries in which
the slave trade was not Carried on, that distinction
would have been at least intelligible.. He might think
that it would not be advisable to introduce such
a distinction, but at all events it would be an intelli-
gible one. At present there was -no intelligible dis-
tinction, and he thought the clause altogether so oh-
jeCtionable, that he felt bound to vote against it.
Sir J. 'HANMER wished to call the attention of
his Right Hon. Friend the President of 'the Board of
Trade to the fact that a considerable proportion of
the . trade.between the Phillipine Islands and the
Manilla, was carried on in Spanish bettonis. Ile'
trusted that this matter would not escape the atten-
tion of her. Majesty's Government. He also. wished
to know why the islancl,ofPorto Rico should not be
enumerated among the places from which'free-labour
Sugar was to be introduced:
Mr. GLADSTONP said 'there. was a very consi-;
derable proportion of-free labour •in Potto Rico, bu
dt: the same 'tithe 'there Was a great deal of
labour employed in that island, and it was imprac;

be•scarcely worthy of Censideration. '
i.Mr. HUME,said it was the object of Parliament,
in legislating on theie -Matters, to lay down certain
principles -in. a Bili, and then to,laysdown sucbrules as
should prevent any deviation from •it,_; Theyi,nowt'
Vegan to find out the difficulties .which .encompassed
the plan-of her Majesty's GoVernment.—(Hear; hear.)
He anted to know if Government 'could and would-
define what the law, was,' If they could not define 'it
now, how could they hope to define it hereafter?—
(Hear, hear.) The fact was, the only conclusion the
Haase could come to -was that the- Government itself
did not know what the clause meant.—(Cheers.)
Now; :he would ask them this question Was Egyp-
tian sugar admissible under this Bill ? ,They. could
not tell him--(Cheers)-.-.and if they would not tell,
he* could foreign Governments know in . what way
to, advise these people to regulate their trade -with

that .night; and really he was not surprised at it.
Still he should be sorry to see the- Right. Hon. Ba-

vision on. Monday night was carried by the free

conceive, -after the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet,
that he would have remained in office had. the
majority been against him...(116.r.) But -this
was, no matter.--(Laughter.) It was possible that
this Bill would have to. he _carried out by another Go-
' vernment, and they ought to, lay down certain prin-
ciples which could be understood' by the general in-
terpretation of the words., HoW would they deal
with the sugar of Louisiana? • -
Lord STANLEY—That is under.a treaty.
Mr. HUME—But suppose the' treaty should
cease ?—(Hear, hear.) Acts of • Parliament ought
not to.be intelligible poly to Ministers of State ; they
ought to be . intelligible to Men of ordinary. under-
standing. They -ought to lay' -down a distinction
between slave-grown sugar and free sugar, and after
the new interpretation that had been given by the
Right Honourable Gentleman, he thought the ,
-House ought to have another opportunity of express- .1
ing its opinion. He moved that the further considera-
tion of this clause be -deferred. • , • •
Sir ROBERT PEEL said the'opportunity de-
sired by the Honotwable Gentleman had been sug-

belied the House would express their opinion upon it.
The Noble Lord had proposed that the discriininating
duty of 10s. should be applied to sugar, the produce 'of
slave labour, equally with sugar the -produce of
free labour. The Ibuse had decided , against 'tile
Noble Lord's proposition ; and if-he were not satisfied
