+ From 25th June, 1839, to sth July, 1840.
On comparing this table with the table of imports, it
will be observed, that the exports in the years 1820 and
1830 greatly exceeded the quantity of foreign sugar im-
ported, and consequently that the difference was made
up of colonial sugar. In 1840, however, the circum-
stances are changed ; the advance of the Gazette average
from 245. I Id. in 1830, to 495. Id. in 1840, left no colo-
nial sugar for exportation ; but, on the contrary, a docu-
ment presented to your Honourable House, in May, 1841,
shows that 2,316 cwt. of foreign sugar paid the consump-
tion duty of 635. per cwt. in that year.
The column of refined sugar exported indicates the
downward progress of the refining trade. In 1820, the
export of manufactured sugar was 646,245 cwt. ; during

Your petitioners would here respectfully ask, %V.
all this deprivation of comforts, enhancement of pri`i
and loss of trade inflicted upon the people of this count*.
Official documents show the following comparison bet;
tween the whole of the West Indies and one foreign
State, Brazil, in the export of British cotton, linen, and
woollen manufactures.

That your petitioners, having shown the injurious
dency of our legislation with respect to one article, °rot
imploi e your Honourable House to consider how
the IN epic are oppressed, deprived of employment' of

Your petitioners would joyfully contribute to all thei
v:encies of the State, if their proportion were justleopr
impartially levied ; but so long as the people are, do
palled to pay in enhanced prices, independent of
an amount exceeding the whole revenue of the Stale' ir
the sole benefit of monopolists, the complaints of the
pr
tired will be raised until redress be obtained. VII' of
titioners have of late heard much of the neoess-tpf
destroying slave labour, and in this sentimeoLtioo
warmly concur ; but they cannot admit the apPor'3oo
which has been made of the argument, in reT-the
to discriminating duties. They cannot Barn" bail
justice of applying the objection to a few articles, 11;,to
the great staple of cotton is silently passed by. If CO to
be admitted for consumption, the objection ins. a 0
other commodities, on the ground of slave labour,
tenable. Your petitioners believe, that free lab°llreor
eventually supersede slave labour—and they are bet
winced that a system of monopolies will retard r;ett
than hasten that happy result which your Potitl,°oll
would hail with joy ; but monopolies may trauar,",

Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that Lie
gars, colonial and foreign, may be admitted for ocu3s
