EXCLUSION OF FOOD.

Liverpool, 24th June, 1842.
My Lord,—The depressed state of the markets for
foreign sugar induces us to apply to your Lordship, in
the hope you may open to us a new channel for this
article, by permitting its, importation for agricultural
purposes, under such regulations as her Majesty's
Government may deem necessary to prevent it being
applied to other uses than the fattening of caittle and
manure.

We know that sugar can be most advantageous) y used
for fattening pork, to which it imparts a finer and More
delicate flavour than the usual mode of feeding; we are
also led to believe that from the known properties of
sugar, it may be turned to good account as a useful and
profitable manure. One greatobjection to its being tried on
an extensve scale has been the great cost, but we now learn
since the introduction of nitrate of soda, which sells at
201. per ton, and the Guano manure, which is selling at
161. per ton, this objection has been removed, inasmuch
as foreign sugar may now be obtained for less cost thou
nitrate of soda or Guano, say at from 125 to lss, per cwt..
or about one penny halfpenny per pound.
That your Lordship may be perfectly satisfied there is
no fiction or exaggeration in these prices, we state we have
now at anchor, in the port of Falmouth, a cargo of about
300 tons of Brazil sugar to our consignment, of fairquality,
which we have this day sold at 14s. 6d. per cwt. bill of
lading weight, deliverable at any port in the United King-
dom, or on the Continent beeween HambuTh and Harre.
We state further that we daily expect another cargo of
better quality to arrive at Plymouth, and this we tender
to your Lordship at Iss. per cwt., or 151. per ton. These
facts will, we think, remure all doubts as to price.
We refrain entirely from entering into the merits of
the question as regards the policy of admitting foreign
sugar for the consumption of the British- people, seet'llg
her Majesty's Government have postponed the further
consideration of the subject until a future day, and we
trust that, as we can clearly demonstrate the admission
of foreign sugar for agricultural purposes will in no Wise
be prejudicial to our colonial interests, you will be pleased
to concede our request, under such regulations as may be
deemed necessary to protect the revenue from fraud or
evasion of the duties, which might otherwise be levied.
In conclusion, my Lord, we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing a hope the day is not far distant when foreign
sugars may be admitted for the free use of the British
public (allisrding at the same time ample protection to.
our colonies) instead of our supplicating to hare them
brought in for the more ignoble purposes of fattening
cattle, or as tillage to enrich the the land.
We have the honour to remain, my Lord, your Lord-
ship's most obedient humble servant..

•
Gentlemen,—ln reply to your application of the 24th
instant, addressed to the Earl of Ripon, suggestiog that
foreign sugar should be allowed to be imported for agri-
cultural purposes, and for fattening cattle, under such
regulations as her Majesty's Government may be phased
to adopt ; I arti directed by the Lords of the Committee
of Privy Council of Trade to acquaint you, th* their
Lordships cannot recommend the adoption of any such
partial admission of foreign sugar.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient server*.

In the case of a disputed will, presenting how-
ever no features of public interest, which is 110 W befor
the Paris Tribunal. the following interesting account
was given of the testator, a French officer. M. Rauh,
who was made prisoner at tho passage of the Beresinii,
was sent to Siberia. A letter which he wrote from
thence to his relations in France, complaining of Ole
cruelty. of this treatment, was stopped at the Russian
Post-office, and laid before the Emperor. Instead sif
aggravating his condition, it became the foundation of
his fortune. Alexander sent for him to St. Petersbuggli‘
and took him under his protection. M. Rault es-
tablished a great commercial house for French wines,
and in twenty years was able to return to his own
country, with a fortune of 800,000 E, wed died lately,
leaving it among his relations, some of whom are small
farmers in Brittany.
The Journal de Maine-et-Loire (Angers) states
thatron the Ist instant, five soldiers and three gendarmes were
conducting a refractory recruit, when at Mo,zstoirae, a score of
teasants, who were lying in ambush, suddenly fired on them.
Five of the escort were wounded, and the others, not having
their muskets loaded,.were obliged to abandon thellOsoner to
the ausailaute, who quickly made off with their prize;

—what was going on there ? and where was the
KING ? " Madame," replied the Duke, " I believe the
KING is at St. Cloud. As for myself, I could not enter
Paris; I saw from a distance the tri-coloured flag floating
above all the public buildings."—" Where, then, are you
going?" said the Duchess.—" To the head-quarters of
my regiment at Joigny."—" I trust, Sir, you will keep
faithful to us."—" As for that, Madame, you may rest
assured that I shall perform my duty without any appre-
hension of the consequences."
The crowning of Louis PhILIPPE, as King of the
French, took place on the following third of August.
On this occasion the two tabourets, or stools of privilege
were provided for the young Duke, and his brother,
NEiuouns.

Speaking of the conspicuous part which these two
young Dukes took in the military affairs connected
with the Belgian outbreak, LOUIS PHILIPPE expressed
himself thus on the opening of the Chambers:—" The
sentiments of the King of ENGLAND coincided with mine
our flags were seen to wave together at the mouth of
the Scheldt. Our army, whose discipline and forbear-
ance are only equalled by their valour, appeared before
the walls of Antwerp ; my two eldest sons shared in
their labours and their glory."
In the attempt to assassinate the KING on the 28th of
July, 1835, the Dukes of ORLEANS, NEMOURS, and the
Prince DE JOINVILLE rode together ; the young Duke,
however, escaped ; NEmouns' horse, and that of the
PRINCE, were both wounded, but not severely.
The Duke married on 30th January, 1837, a Princess
of the house of Mecklenburg Schwerin. The marriage
was celebrated at the Palace of Fontainbleau, and in the
splendid gallery of HENRY the SECOND. By this lady
his Royal Highness has left two sons, the Count of
PARIS, born August 24, 1838, and the Duke of CHAR-
TRW, born November 9, 1840.
