LONDON •
SATURDAY MORNING, 311 Y 14, 1842.

An interesting discussion took place last night in the
House of Commons, on the principles of commercial
legislation for our colonies. It was raised by the motion
of Lord HowicK, on the question of going into a Com-
mittee on the tariff, that it was improper to impose any
differential duties in favour of the colonies, which do not
now exist. His Lordship confined his speech pretty
much to that question ; but the Ministers, being unable
to answer his arguments, branched off into a variety of
general doctrines about the preservation of the colonial
empire, awl about allowing unlimited freedom to the
colonies for their trade. Lord STANLEY, in particular,
was extremely loud, vehement, and vague. They will,
however, by their remarks, make the people of England
aware of the -value of the colonies. . .Sir ROBERT
PEEL, in truth, stated, in so many words, that if our
Government were not allowed -to control the trade
of the colonies, the nation ought not to be at the ex-
pense of governing them. Now as it haS been proved,
over and over again, that the control exercised by the
Government of the mother country over the trade of the
colonies is most injurious both to the mother country 1
and the colonies, it follows that our colonies are a
useless expense, and ough to be given up. It has been
demonstrated over and over again that, so far as trade is
concerned, the mothercountry would derive more advan-
tage from the colonies by hating nothing to do with the
government` of them ; and we hail with satisfaction Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S conversion to the theory which the To.
ries have frequently abused HumE for adopting. In
all his principles Sir ROBERT PEEL is becoming a free
trader-in all his practices he remains an arrant Tory,
and the slave of a vicious systean.
He displayed his character a'n opposition to his prin-
ciples last night, when, finding it extremely incon-
venient to answer the home arguments of Mr. BARING,
he admitted that he was incapable of justifying the de-
tails of the tariff ; but on questions of differential duties
details are principles, and to be unable to justify them is
to acknowledge that they might not to be passed. Sir
R. PEEL felt, this, and therefore be took refuge in some
vapouring talk about makliag a vigorous financial exer-
tion, and arrogantly telling-the House they must take his
scheme as a whole, wit :tout examining• those details
which' he is unable to 'justify. The House, being as
servile as ho is arrog3 nt, took
,him at his word, and
voted, by a considerable majority, for what he was unable
to defend. The more -we see of the House of Commons
the less we respect it.
