THE BUDGET.

Mr. BARCLAY put a qestion to Sir Robert Peel as
to when he would be prepared to bring forward his
financial statement ?

Sir R. PEEL said he should proceed to develope
his financial statement with the least possible delay, but
public necessity would compel him to postpone it for a
short time. This postponement had no reference what-
ever to personal convenience, but to the public interest
alone. He should make his statement as soon as the
immediate votes of supply were granted ; but after that
he should not lose a day. He was sure the Hon. Gen-
tleman would not wish him to make any partial dis-
closures.

On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN, the Appropria-
tion Act Amendment Bill was read a third time, and
some necessary words being added, was then passed.
THE CHURCH IN THE WEST INDIES.

Lord STANLEY said he believed there would be no ob-
jection made to the Bill which he now was about to move
for leave to bring in. It might be in the recollection
of the House, that in the year of 1825 a Bill was passed
to establish a Bishop in Barbadoes, and a Bishop in
Jamaica, assigning salaries to the Bishops and Arch-
deacons of those dioceses. Since 1825, in consequence
of well-known circumstances, the labours of the clergy
in the West ludies had increased to a
great extent, and it was one of the most
happy effects of emancipation, that throughout
all the West India Islands, there had sprung up a great
and increasing desire of spiritual instruction. Churches
and chapels were rising on every side ; the clergy were
increasing, and there was an unanimous wish for their
superintendence. But these gratifying circumstances
threw increased duties on the Bishops of those dioceses.
The Bishop of Barbadoes, under whom were the whole
of the Leeward Islands, and also Demerara, had had his
duties so much increased that it was impossible for one
Bishop to preside over so extensive a diocese ; and at
that moment the Bishop of Barbadoes had tendered his

resignation, according to an Act whiCh, after ten years'
service, entitled him to retire with a certain allowance.
The Bishop of Barbadoes had served sixteen years, and
he had now placed his resignation at the disposal of the
Government. At the period of his retirement, he (Lord
Stanley had felt it desirable, as had the Noble Lord who
had held the Secretaryship of the Colonies before him,
to make a more effectual arrangement regarding the
Episcopal functions of these Colonies, but he was ppy
to- inform the House that he had made these arrange-
rnents With the full approbation of the clerical body
at home, and of the Bishop of Barbadoes himself,
without ealling on the country for any increased
sum of money. The salary of the Bishop was 4,0001.
a year, with a retiring allowance of 1,000/. ; there were
two Archdeacons with salaries of 2,0001. a-year each ;
but they actually received only 1,500/. as they subscribed
500/. a -year each for the Archdeacon of Demerara, who
received an addition of 500/. from the colony ; the inten-
tion of the Bill which he intended to lay on the table of
the House was, that three Bishops should be appointed,
that one Bishop should receive 2,500/, a-year, another
2,0001. and a third 1,5001. ; that 'there should be
three Archdeacons with GOO/. a-year each, instead of the
sum formerly allowed, which he considered too much.
He proposed also to add to the clergy in St. Kitt's • and
in Trinidad two Rural Deans, with 500/. a• year each.
The whole amount, therefore, would not exceed
the amount at present appropriated to maintain
the Bishop and three Archdeacons ; and they
would have the services of three" Bishops, three
Archdeacons, and two rural Deans. He trusted that in
making these arrangements they should obtain an ade-
quate superintendence in the Episcopal department of
these colonies. He thought it right, in justice to the Bishop
of Barbadoes, to add that though he was entitled to his
full quarter's salary in consequence ota question having
arisen as to' the form of his resignation, which was
tendered in August last, yet the Bishop considers his re-
signation to have been given in at that time, and he
(the Bishop of Barbadoes) was content to receive in'
lieu of the one thousand pounds to which he might have
been entitled, 250/., the amount of his retiring allowance.
He proposed also to make similar arrangements with
regard to Jamaica. The Bishopric was not vacant, but
a similar provision would be introduced for giving 4,0001.
to the Bishop, and 2,0001. to the Archdeacon. :He pro-
posed to take out letters patent for two or snore
dioceses. in such a manner that the total sum assigned
would not exceed the six thousand pounds
now appropriated for the maintenance of a single Bishop.
He did not anticipate any opposition to the proposition,
and he should conclude by moving for leave to bring in
a Bill on the subject.
. Mr. LABOUCHERE seconded the motion.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
COLONIAL CUSTOMS' 'DUTIES.

The House having resolved itself into a Committee
of the whole House on the Acts relating to Customs'
Duties in the West Indies and North American Colonies,
Mr. GLADSTONE said, that in rising to bring
under the notice of the CoMmittee a subject of
so much importance it was satisfactory that he
should not have to trouble the House at any
length on the nature of the proposition he was about
to make. It would be in the recollection of
most of those :who heard him, that the Right
Honourable Gentleman opposite, the late Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, had introduced a
plan to the House to relieve the North American colo-
nies from the weight of the duties levied on them under the
authority of the Imperial Parliam'bnt, which plan was felt
by the House to be of the greatest- benefit; that would
render it unnecessary for him (Mr. a) to detain
the House by going over the details of the'subject again,
brought forward as they were with great clearness,
and with an ability superior to any to which
he could pretend. He should content himself with
stating the general grounds, and - referring to the main
proposition on which he intended to bring the
subject forward. That Right Honourable Gentleman
had shown that the Colonial system between
this country and its dependencies was one of extreme
strictness in a commercial- sense. That system
had commenced sixty years-40i, and, since the
peace in 1815, material changes . had been effected
in their policy with respect to the colonies. In the year
1822, Lord Ripon, then Mr. Robinson ; and again, in
the year 1825, Mr. Huskisson had introduced measures
into Parliament, the object of which was to
alter their colonial policy ; the result of which was,
as far as those measures went, completely satis-
factory, and the apprehensions of evil that find been
anticipated had been proved to be void of all
just grounds. The duties which were levied by the au-
thority of the Imperial Parliament, were levied at a rate
which was unjust, either with regard to the interests of
the revenue of the Colonies themselves, or with regard
to the principles which Parliament had laid down with
respect to the regulation of :their colonial policy,,
and the operation of the system, as it. stood
on the statute book, was extremely onerous. He
did not think, that on that occasion, more . than
one or two Hon. Members felt disposed to object to the
propositions of the Right. Hon. Gentleman ; but
if, any objections existed to the principle of the
plan he would refer the House to the case of our colonies
in the East, where the Crown, acting under the authority
of Parliament, had followed a line of. commercial
policy completely different to that which had been pur
sued with regard to our possessions in the western hemis-
phere. He was not exactly aware whether the same line of
policy was pursued in those countries under the rule of the
East India Company, although he believed such was the
case ; but through the British colonial possessions in the
East, there was not any where a ditferential duty of more
than five, six, or seven per cent. levied for the protection
of British manufactures. When he considered that
such was the case, and that it was impossible to say
which was the most valuable to the country, the
trade with our Eastern colonial possessions, or
that with our possessions . in the West, of such
invaluable importance' were both, be thought
that he had stated sufficient to calm the
apprehensions of those who' thought it necessary,
on account of British interests, that the present rate
of duties should be continued in our Western pos-
sessions.—(Hear, hear, hear.) When the Hon. Gen-
tleman laid his plan before Parliament last session,
referring, as it did, to a variety Of interests, and to
places situated at a distance 'so great, some gentle-
men felt a difficulty in giving an unqualified assent
to a plan affecting dependencies so remote withr.ut
having been afforded an opportunity of ascertaining how
those propositions would be welcomed by the people of
those dependencies.—(Hear.) For that reason he con-
sidered it a happy circumstance that the measure had
not passed into a law last year, because, from the
time which had elapsed, the bearing of those mea-
sures had become known in our colonies, in .the
West Indies, and North America, and those measures
were generally approved of by the inhabitants
of those colonies. The Right Hon. Gentleman in
bringing forward the measure last year had said he
had brought it forward on its own merits, on that
ground he had asked the sanction of the House, and so
far as regarded English interests, which might be
supposed to be prejudicially affected by the measures
• proposed, the Right Honourable Gentleman himself',
who was at that time at the head of the Board.
of Trade, and who had, .consequently, the • best
opportunities of being acquainted ~with public feeling
on the subject, had stated on a subsequent discussion
that the measure he had proposed receiVed a larger share
of approbation from the general commercial interest of the
country than any measure that had ever been proposed.
• He (Mr. Gladstone) was not going to dispute any of the
principles which the Right Hon. Gentleman then pro-
pounded, but, on the contrary, to recommend to the Com-
mittee the application, to a somewhat larger extent, of cer-
tain of those principles—(" Hear," from the Opposition
benches.) His (Mr. G s) reason for so doing was that he
thought the Right Hon. Gentleman had shown—(he
was not
.now speaking of the details of particular com-
missions) that he had been treading in the course
taken by those who preceded him. The Right
Honourable Gentleman, therefore, had not trusted to
speculative reasons only. but he had been also able to
point to what had been already done in the relaxation
ofcommercial restrictions. Upon that ground also he
(Mr. G.) asked the support of the House. He was fur-
ther disposed to take such a course, because he thought
that the time which had elapsed since the plan of the
Right Hon. Gentleman had been laid on the table of the
House, no disposition had been shown in any quarter, to
anticipate injury either to British or colonial in terests, from
any portion of that plan. Another reason swayed his
mind to ask the House to go even beyond the proposition
of the Right Hon. Gentleman. If the condition of the
West Indian producer of • sugar had been such,
twelve months ago, as to render it advisable
to have him relieved froru the restrictions to
which he was subject, much more advisable was it at the
present time. For although that 'Rinse was naturally and
properly disposed to distrust all complaints on commercial
distress, yet there never was a more real or severe case
of distress on the part of any producer of com-
modities for, the British market than that now
experienced—he would not say by- the East Indian
planter, nor by the cultivator in Mauritius, but by the
absentee proprietor of sugar plantations in the West
Indies, a class which he (Mr. Gladstone) admitted
it was most desirable to diminish. Nothing could give
the West Indies so fair a prospect of maintaining
competition with other portions of the globe (if
they should ever be exposed to competition)
than the transfer of the estates in those colonies
from absentee proprietors to .either resident pro-
prietors, or a resident tenantry ; but he would not
now enter into unnecessary , details. He only
' said that the distress of the West India proprietor was
very severe, audible* he was subject to restrictions in
supplying himself with necessary productions that others
were not subjected to. -It was most imperative
to afford him every relief in the removal of those re-
strictions. He hoped it would be in the power of the
House to simplify the laws in that respect.
The 3d and 4th of Wm. IV., cap. 49, had in point
of fact simplified the previous acts on the subject ;
but there were also other laws enacted before
that statute and others subsequent to it, which
introduced some degree of complication into its
application. It would be necessary then to re-
peal some of those laws and to consolidate the others,
With respect to the changes be was about to propose,
he would speak first of those changes which were
new in their character, and unsupported by the ,
precedent of the measure of last year, He
should propose to the 'Committee to abolish
any duties which were leviable in the colonies upon arti.
ties being the produce of Great Britain. The principal ,
imposition of that kind at present existing was the duty on
spirits; and he proposed the abolition bt that duty
not because it was not desirable that spirits should be
taxed, but because it appeared to him that their taxation i
upon the authority of the Imperial Parliament was 'not in
itself necessary, and was scarcely compatible with,the pro-,
raises which had been held out in the. Deciaratioo 40. gf
1778, In that Act the Itnperial rarl;arppidpV6 BTRIPIse

of the law was, to give an advantage-to Canadian prode'eoe
