Mr. BLEW ITT gave notice of his intention to intro-
duce, after Easter, a Bill to repeal the law prohibiting
the growth and curing of tobacco in the United
Kingdom.

Sir It. PEW, stated, in answer to Mr. TRELAWNEY,
that it was the intention of the Government, during
the present session, at a very early period, to intro-
duce a Bill for relieving the Jews from their civil
disabilities, as far as Municipal offices were concerned.

Lord J. Russux, in answer to Mr. BORTHWICK,
announced his intention of proposing some legislative
measure for the bettering the condition of the labour-
ing poor, immediately after Easter.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER fixed Monday
for the consideration of the sugar duties.
Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
enable town councils to establish museums of art in
corporate towns.
Mr. WYsE seconded the motion, which was sup-
ported by Sir W. JAMES, Mr. M. PHILIPS, Mr.
LIUME, and Mr. BER'NAL,

Sir R. 'Pim expressed himself favourable to the es-
tablishment of museums in large towns, but though
the House ought to be cautious how they gave to town
councils the power of taxation for the purpose of esta-
blishing them. At any rate he trusted that the coun-
cils would think it preferable to raise as large a sum as
possible by voluntary contributions before having re-
course to compulsory taxation.
After a short conversation, in the course of which
Mr. SuEIL expressed a hope that these museums
would be open to the working classes on Sundays,
leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. EWART then moved for leave to bring in
a " Bill enabling the defendant's counsel in
civil, and the prisoner's counsel in criminal
cases, to address the jury on the close of
the evidence for the prisoner or defendant ;"
but on an intimation from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL,

such cheers, for was not this the concession of the
whole principle of Lord JOHN RUSSBLL'S amend-
ment, which an obsequious majority had so re-
cently repudiated ? Does not such a gross ab-
surdity, such a transparent cheat, we will not call it,
but it is really a mockery—" aggravate" (to pursue
the language of the amendment) " the, protection
which is given to the colonist at the expense of the
consumer ?" For no mortal yet pretended to say
that there is one earthly reason why we should not
have our sugars very considerably cheaper, by ex-
tending our consumption to those of foreign growth,
except for one of two reasons—that a moderate pro -
tietion should be afforded to the produce of our own
colonial :possessions, and therefore be provided
by pro Canto charging sugars of foreign growth,
and that, in order to follow out our great scheme
of abolishing negro slavery in the cultiva-
tion of tropical produce, it is necessary to levy
such a duty on foreign slave-grown sugar as may keep

the Scilly Islands were moved for and agreed to, as was
a motion by Mr. REID, for a copy of the report of the
Commissioners on Harbours of Refuge.

The Bastardy Bill and the Consolidated Fund Bi'
were, respectively, read a second time.
The House adjourned at Eight o'clock.

Every mail from India brings onlyadditional proofs
that sooner or later, willingly or unwillingly, the
Governor-General, however peaceable his disposition
may be, will be compelled to take a part in the affairs
of Lahore. Since the death of the " Old Lion of the
Punjaub," RULIBET SING'', the country has been a
constant prey to the most frightful disorders—to plots
without end, the murder of chiefs and prime minis-
ters by their nearest relatives a►nd most confidential
friends, and the unbridled fury of a mercenary and
lawless soldiery. Revolution succeeds revolution
rather as natural events than the work of man ;
no sooner is one Raja set up than he is
pulled
down by some unsuspected enemy,
who succeeds only to give place to another
who happens to have more money, more interest with
the Seikhs, more influence over the Pretorlan guards,
or who excels in cunning and treachery, and dares to
commit crimes surpassing those of his predecessor.
The last rprolution has led to the murder of many
chiefs and persons of note, whose heads after the vic-
tory were carried in triumph on pikes through the
streets of Lahore, and more than two thousand lives
had been sacrificed fur the purpose of gratifying the
ambition of an aspiring and daring woman, who will
probably be the next victim, along with the puppet of
a Raja—a child—the last placed on the throne Ilia
long, however, as the existing authorities adhere
to treaties with the British Government, and abstain
from invasion of the frontier, some persons imagine
that we can have no grounds for interference in these
endless quarrels and massacres. But that is taking
only a very limited and imperfect view of the ques-
tion. A nation which is constantly in a state of revo-
lution must ever be an object of anxiety and alarm to
its neighbours : vast numbers of the defeated parties
make their escape into the adjoining states, and re-
turn on some new outbreak ; peaceful alliances are
disturbed, trade and intercourse are interrupted, and
fears excited that the spirit of anarchy may become
infectionn, and compel either an active interference,
or what is little better, the maintenance of
a large army on the borders, kept in constant readi-
ness for action. It is evident the British Government
cannot submit long to such a state of affairs, but sup-
posing it observed the utmost patience, and remained
satisfied with guarding its own possessions against all
attacks, what hope is there that affairs will improve ?
Is England to be burdened with the expense of
keeping a cordon of troops to protect the frontier
against lawless hordes, who oppress not only the
natives, but injure and perhaps ruin the most indus-
trious portion of her own subjects, by the total de-
struction of commerce, and by wasting one-half
of the advantages obtained by throwing open the

Indus ? There is, however, another and more material
consideration. A constant state of anarchy—and there
appears no hopes of any change—must weaken the
kingdom of Lahore, render it an object of ambition
to the states on the west, and, above all, to Affgha-
nistan, which still claims sovereignty over a great
portion of that fertile and important district. Already
A KBAII KHAN threatens Peshawur. If anarchy
prevail he may accomplish his object, and something
more. 'With the assistance of neighbouring tribes,
allured by the prospect of plunder, he may descend
into the plains, occupy Lahore, and threaten the Bri-
tish possessions in the most vulnerable quarter.
We should regret to see the alternative, for England
has already enough on her hands in India; but be-
tween such a consummatioi and an armed interfe-
rence in the government of the Punjaub, there can
be no choice. The Affghans must be kept to the
west of the Indus at all hazards. Sir HENRY
HARDING B has a difficult game to play.
What with the curb put upon him by the Directors,
and the dangea with which the British possessions
are threatened, be is placed in a position more dis-
tracting perhaps than that of any of his predecessors;
but we hope that his skill, ability, and judgment will
be sufficient to extricate him with honour from the
difficulty.

When we remarked, a few days ago, that the re-
solution moved by Lord Jong RUssELL, by way of
amendment on the Ministerial proposition for the al-
teration of the sugar duties, had been very maturely
considered, and was most comprehensively worded, we
could not calculate upon so early and complete a con-
firmation of our opinion as it was destined to receive
in the llouse of Commons. The answer given on
Wednesday night last, by Sir ROBERT PEEL to a
question from Mr. TIiONNELT, admitted:that Louisiana
(or slave grown) sugar, coming from New Orleans,
must, according to the Premier's own construction of
the reciprocity treaty subsisting between this country
and the United States, be admitted into our ports on
the same footing and terms as the sugars of Java, Ma-
nilla, and China, which are raised by free labour
Now, Lord JouN RUSSELL'S amendment declared
that the Ministerial resolution "professed to keep up
a distinction between foreign free-labour and foreign
slave-labour sugar, which was unjustifiable and illu-
sory." Mere we have the Prime Minister acknow-
ledging on Wednesday night, with regard to the first
shipment that has been announced since this wonderful
scheme was first in contemplation, that the very
ground upon which it was last session proclaimed to be
the determination of the British Legislature to dis-
countenance slave and to encourage free-labour pro-
duction, by giving to the latter the privilege of coming,
at a much reduced duty, into the home consumption
market, is, in the fourth week of this session, com-
pletely taken away, by the acknowledgment of the
same Government, that slave-grown sugars from
America must be admitted, for the same purpose, on
terms equally favourable. Therefore the Govern-
mentroposition,firist., i

described it, ".illusory"---and if illusory also

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present
were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell.

STUART V. SPOTTISWODE.
Their Lordships, after hearing
the Counsel for the appel-
lant in this Scotch appeal, gave judgment, affirming the deci-
sion of the Court below, with costs.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The transactions in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
again extensive. Speculators took 7,000 bales, and the
entire sales were 15,000 bales, viz., 1,100 Pernambuco at
51,4 d. to 614 d., 1,100 Maranham at 5%d. to 5%d., 500 Bahia
at 53/ d. to 6d., 1,000 Surat at 234 d. to 31/2d., 500 Egyptian
at 51/2d. to 71/2d., and the rest American at 31/2d. to 6%d.

There are no ship arrivals to-day with later news from
any quarter.
Accounts from Messina state that a large deficit had been
discovered, or was reported to have been discovered, in the
funds of the Municipal Bank, where a lodgment of 900,000
ducats of the Government money had been made; one thing
at least being certain, viz., that the Bank could not pay the
Sicilian Treasury bills issued to the prizeholders in the recent
lottery.
There is, apparently, but one way of getting on in the
sugar market, where business for the last few days has
been duller than ever, and thisplan has to-day been adopted
by a leading broker's firm. A large quantity of Mauritius
sugar is to be offered, upon condition that the buyers shall
have it at the low duty if agreed to.
The progress of railway Bills in Parliamentary Com-
mittees excites much interest. and all manner of reports are
current for or against particular lines. It has been
stated that the Direct Northern line stands a better
chance of success than its opponents are willing to allow,
but in answer to this, the fact may, perhaps, be adduced,
that if this line is better in price to-day, so also is the Lon-
don and York. The South-Eastern Company is reported—
but we merely state it is a report—not to have complied
with the standing orders relative to the new branches, while
the Churnet Valley Company, which was also reported to be
in the same predicament, is now declared, by parties con •
netted with it, to have done all that is necessary, and to be
confident of success. The various reports of the Board of
Trade are read with great interest, and seem to give as much
satisfaction as could be expected.
The Funds are extremely quiet to-day. Consols realize
99% to par. There have been no time bargains. Bank
Stock for Account is 214. Exchequer-bills are firm at 63.5.
to 655. premium.
The Foreign Bonds are buoyant. Portuguese Converted
have touched 68 for Money. Spanish Five per Cents, are
29% to %—a further advance; the Threes are 41 to 141•
Mexican realise 364 to 361/2. Columbian are 1414 ; and
Brazilian 91. Dutch Four per Cents. are 99'4
There is a good deal doing in Shares. The
French lines are buoyant. North K. nt are in
favour, and South-Easterns are declining still. Brighton
are much the same. Churnet Valley have improved. South-
Western, Birmingham, and Eastern Counties are firm ; and
Manchester and Leeds higher. Croydon have got up again.
The Joint-stock Bank Shares have been in some request.

THE REV. DR. R. GORDON V. THE EARL OF SINNOUL.
This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from
the judgment of the Court of Session. The appellant is the
Rev. Dr. R. Gordon, the collector of the Ministers' Widows
Fund in Scotland, and the respondent, the Earl of Kinnoul,
is the patron of the parish of Auchterarder. Our readers
will recollect that the long litigation which has taken place
with respect to the right of the Noble Earl to present to the
living of Auchterarder, and the refusal on the part of the
Presbytery to induct his presentee (the Rev. Mr. Teung) to
the living. The question that now came before their Lord-
ships was whether the appellant, as collector of the Mi-
nisters' 'Widows Fund, was entitled to the stipend
during the vacancy in the living, or the presentee of the
noble respondent. The Court of Session decided in favour of
the Earl of Kinnoul, there being eight judges for him, and five
against him ; and from that decision the present appeal was
brought.
The Lord Advdcate and Mr. F. Kelly were counsel for the
appellant, and Mr. Anderson for the noble respondent.
The case appears likely to occupy their Lordships some day a.

it from all chance and benefit of competing in our
markets with that of our colonies. But now it is
avowed, made manifest to the world, admitted by the
Minister, that in a given case this latter distinction
cannot, from the binding force of treaties long since
concluded, be enforced against the slave-grown sugars
of a certain foreign country. It is confessed that
that country has a right to insist on the introduction
of its own sugars, though slave-grown, on terms
equally favourable with those ameliorated ones on
which we have, by a legislative Act, decided to admit
the free-labour-grown sugars of other foreign
countries. Here, then, the Government pretence of
a fiscal distinction between the two classes, slave-
grown and free-grown sugar, breaks completely down.
It is apparent in every common sense view of the
subject ; it is notorious, from all practical experience,
that so long as one country can import its slave-
grown produce into our ports, so long negro slavery
will be employed, fostered, and even extended to aid
its shipments, whilst these can obtain a remunerating
market in Great Britain. Surely it was sound wis-
dom in the Noble Mover of the amendment to put the
argument of that proposition thus :—" You are going
to reduce your general revenue by lowering the duty
on foreign free-labour-raised sugars; by mitigating
the duty you now receive upon them, with a view to
discourage slave labour in the ratio in which this
mitigation will extend free-labour production. But
I forewarn you that, from the condition of your diplo-
matic relations with slave-owning States, and other
circumstances, you will be unable to keep up the dis-
tinction on which you rest your case for the proposed
alteration ; and the machinery which you are about to
set in motion will only benefit the colonial grower to
a small extent, whilst it must prejudice the British
consumer in a much greater degree."
Now, all this has been justified by the event of
Wednesday night's admission to the letter. What
possible reason can now be alleged for keeping up an
excluding duty on foreign sugars, with the view of
discouraging slave labour or their production ? That
case has gone by the board, and the hands of Sir R.
PEEL threw it over.
Let us hope that evil may come out of good. It is
no longer possible to vindicate our abstract principles
of emancipation—wise, just, generous, and even politic
as they are—at the cost of highly taxing one of the
most essential comforts, if it be not of the necessaries,
of life, to our own people, the largest of all con-
sumers. We may, if the Legislature so pleased, con-
tinue our suppression treaties, our Board Commis-
sioners, our exterminating pursuit of negro slave-
trading on the high seas and in the estuaries of
rivers. But, on the legal maxim " cessante causa,
cessat effectus,"—to make sugar, once produced for
the markets of the world, artificially dearer in our
own, and infinitely more costly than it is necessary it
should be, with a view either to the reasonable pro-
tection of the colonist, or the realising of extensive
resulting profits on the various stages of the trade in
this very valuable commodity—this is surely the most
puerile of follies. Here, then, chance has placed Sir
ROBERT Pnees Government within the horns of a
dilemma. The only way in which it can extricate
itself is, to seize with a good grace this God-send;
to stand upon it as its plea for at once opening this
trade, and at last benefiting the consumer to an ex-
tent which he can palpably feel ; and to spring from
it, as its first great stepping-stone to that onward
march in the career of general FREE TRADE, to which
fortune—the times—their true policy—and the cheer-
ing encouragement of the whole empire all hail and
invite them.

CHANCERY.-(1 HIS DAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after disposing of several lunatic
petitions, proceeded to hear the further arguments on the
part-heard case of the Ludlow Charities, which occupied the
Court the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Vice-Chancellor of England took short causes and un-
opposed petitions to day, none of which possessed any interest
except to the parties concerned.

SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.)
There was only one cause for hearing this morning, which
was a case of simple debt, and presented no point of interest
whatever to the public.

NSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Cutts. COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE JOHN LE CRY&
The insolvent had carried on an extensive busincis as
a coach-maker. His petition had been already before
the Court, when it vvai adjourned, in order theta certain
deed of assignment, by which all the property became
vested in certain creditors, on conditions ofpaying a weekly
sum to pay wages until some unfinished carriages were com-
plete I. The property was eventually taken to an auction
room, and there sold. Several of the creditors com-
plained that they had not received a fair share of the
proceeds of the sale.
The LEARNED CHIEF COMMISSIONER commented
strongly upon the conduct of the insolvent, by which all
were defrauded for his benefit. However, the circum-
stances of the case did not come within the statute, and
he must, therefore, he discharged.
IN RE +LEXANDER BLAZDELL.
The insolvent in this case was one of the firm of Wood-
gate and Blazdell, the well-known pianoforte and harp manu-
facturers of Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square. A large
number of creditors appeared in his schedule.
-His petition to be discharged was opposed by Mr. Dawse
on the part of a musical instrument maker, named Lock, and
supported by Mr. Cooke.
It appeared from the evidence of the opposing creditor, and
several other witnesses, that the insolvent had become
bankrupt about a year and a half ago, and after getting his
certificate, he became a partner in the above firm, Mr.
Woodgate being understood to be the person who was to
supply the money for carrying on the business. The oppos-
ing creditor supplied the insolvent with pianos and other
musical instruments, for which he never received one penny,
the property having been sold under a distress for rent shortly
after their delivery and a short time previous to the insol-
vent's arrest. There was a quantity of valuable timber used
in the manufacture of pianofortes and harps, some of which
had been sold for the payment of wages, and the remainder
passed into the hands of a person named Barret.
The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said he should adjourn the
case, in order that an account might be rendered of the above
property.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(,THIS DAT
OLD COURT.

Thomas Howell, Frederick Smith, and Robert Franklin,
who had been tried and convicted on Tuesday last of a
burglary, committed in the George and Vulture Tavern,
George-yard, Lombard-street, were this day brought up to
receive the judgment of the Court.
The RECORDER said that there could be no doubt of their
guilt, and it appeared that the two first-named prisoners had
been more than once summarily convicted. It was dangerous
to allow such characters to go at large, and the sentence of
the Court was that they be transported for ten years.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
RAPE.— William Camplin, aged 55, residing at 17, Ber-
mondsey-street, was indicted for having committed a rape on
the person of Jane Matthews, aged 13, on the 30th Decem-
ber last.

Mr. Doane and Mr. Payne were for the prosecution ; Mr.
Ballantine and Mr. Robinson for the defence.
The evidence, which cannot of course be published, seemed
to establish the fact that the prisoner had taken the prose-
cutrix to his own house, and there had given her some gin
and peppermint, and while she was in a state of stupor had
perpetrated the offence for which he was indicted.
Mr. BALLANTLNE took a technical objection, which was,
however, overruled by the Learned Judge. The Learned
Counsel then addressed the jury.
Mr. Baron PARKE summed up, and the jury, after a brief
consultation, expressed a wish to retire. They had not re-
turned when we went to press.

The discussion in the French Chamber of Peers on
the Secret Service Money Bill commenced on Wed-
nesday, and as the Minister is all powerful in that
House, the result could not be doubtful ; but the pro_
ceedings possessed some interest from what may be
called a personal speech from Count MOLE, to which
M. GUIZOT replied. The ex-Minister said he re-
garded the discussion as personal ; it was an affair be-
tween himself and the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
who, in the other Chamber, had said "I am the Con-
servative party," an expression calculated to injure
others without reason, cause disquiet to France, and
alarm throughout Europe. He, in substance, said,
if the present Ministry, which is essentially Con-
servative and peaceful, is turned out of office,
there is no security for the tranquillity of the
world. That was a manceuvro to which recourse had
been had on another occasion. Certain of the Cabi-
nets which preceded the present had been described
as begging their existence, and that language had also
been applied to one of which he had the honour to
form part. He would not fear, however, to contrast
the condition of the present Ministry, which had only
from four to eleven votes, with that of a preceding
one, which having but a majority of eight votes dis-
solved the Chambers, not contenting itself with a
majority which appeared to it insufficient. What
similarity, he would ask, was there now between
these two positions ? It was sought to divide the
Conservative party, which, however, in returning the
strength of cohesion, knew how to save the country
and its institutions from the excesses of extreme
parties. The Noble Peer then passed to the examina-
tion of the acts of the Cabinet of the 15th of April,
and justified the amnesty and the measures adopted
by it. He declared that if the present Cabinet persisted
in regarding all concession as dangerous, all movement
as a peril, it would compel the representatives of the
country to make use of their privileges, and force
the Minister to adopted reforms required by circum-
stances. M. GUIZOT, in reply, attacked the policy
of Count MOLE whilst Minister, reminded the Cham-
ber that in two years he had twice dissolved the
Chamber without effect, and considered it much bet-
ter to carry on the Government rather with a small
majority than incur the risk of further injuring the
Conservative party._ Count MOLE, in answer, made
some more personal remarks, said M. GUIZOT, not
he, had deserted the Conservative party. He re-
mained unchanged, and opposed the Ministry be-
cause it was in a false position, and opposed to the
wishes of the country. M. DUCHAT EL followed, and
Count MONTALBMBERT was left speaking.
We have accounts from Zurich to the 2d of March.
The discussion on the Jesuits was still continued,
and not concluded on that day. We are therefore in-
clined to believe that the statement in the Commerce,
announcing that a division had taken place, was in-
correct, though we have no doubt the result will be
as stated—a majority against the Jesuits.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

The Sub-Committee, No. 3, resumed its sittings this
morning, in Committee-room No. 8. Present—Mr.
Aglionby, chairman, Mr. T. Egerton, Mr. Stansfield, Mr.
Thomely, and Mr. E. Buller.
CORNWALL RAILWAY.
The Committee proceeded with the petition from the
promoters of this railway.
The Committee proceeded with the evidence upon the
promoters' plans. Some discussion arose as to the situa-
tion of some powder mills. It was alleged in a petition,
presenteil by a Mr. Thomas, but upon which the Com-
mittee had decided that no one could appear, that cer-
tain buildings had been omitted. It appeared that a
small building about the size of a pig-sty bad been
omitted.
Mr. Bungs contended that the promoters could not
answer this objection, inasmuch as they had seen no
allegation respecting it.
The CHAIRMAN said the duty of the Committee was to
ascertain whether the standing orders had been complied
with.
Standing orders not complied with in the above
respect.

THEE GLANI MANUFACTURB IN IRELAND.—We
are glad to perceive from the following paragraph in the
Cork Reporter, that the proposed repeal of this tax is likely
to lead to a revival of that trade in Ireland :—" We under-
stand that the glass manufacture is shortly to be revived in
the city of Cork. It is said that ten thousand pounds is
forthcoming to be embarked in it. At present there are some
encouraging prospects for this trade, now that all duty is to
be taken oft, and ' a clear stage and no favour' given to it in
both countrie3,"
