SUOMI lIIIIIIM DUMB.

Laud A LTHOIt P moved that the house resolve itself
into a Committee on the Sugar Refinery bill
Mr. KEITH Dt tIT G liA 8 thought that since the revolu-
tions of Paris, and of Belgium, considerable alteration had
taken place in all foreign and commercial tots, and
a greater quantity of foreign Busse came to is country ;
and by allowing it to be refined, as proposed by the present
Lill, the price of out own sugars would be reduced. The
lion. fien.len an concluded by moving, that the house re-
solve itself into a Committee to take into consideration the
present commercial state of the West Indies. He thought
it the Colonies were not to be protected, they should be
ahs.lved from their allegiance.
31r. P. THO3ISON said, when the proper time should
come he should go into the whole question. Government
had already afforded all the relief they conceived to he in
their power, and certainly a committee of the whole house
was not calculated for the examination of the documents
and evidence that the hon. gentleman would submit to them.
nothing could be more divided than the opinions of West
Indians themselves on the means of affording the colonies
relief. They were only agreed in desiring a bounty 1 butno
one could expect that a bounty would be agreed to by the
house or the °reentry.
Colonel TOR RRNS thought the cause of West India
distress was obvious, and the means of relief not difficult.
As our West Indies produced more sugar than was news.
say for our own consumption, it was evident that the bane
price must be regulated by the rice In the foreign intact ;
and while the produce of foreign colonies met us in the to.
reign market, we had, by absurd enactments. compelled the
West Indians to raise the cost of production. We should
allow the W est Indians to import every article of consumption
on the cheapest terms, and also allow them to refine supr
on the islands where it was grown; and. above all other
things, endeavour to put down the foreign slave trade.—
By these means we should relieve the West India interest in
the most effectual manner. (Hear, bear)
Mr. ROBINSON tumid recommend the Government to
consider well before they threw open the supply of the who.
nies to all countries ; the effect of which would be to de-
prive the mother country of the supply of her colonies, and
without benefit to the colonies themselves. He could assure
the Government, that if they were prepared to throw open
the trade of the colonist. the connection between this country
and the colonies would be of very uncertain duration. He
thought the West Indies would derive a great advantage
from the reduction of duty.
Mr. II UME thought the hon. member ( Mr. Robinson)
had not met one of the arguments foe relieving the West
Indies, by allowing them to supply their wants by purcha-
sing articles fot their consumption where they could do it
cheapest. The honourable member proceeded to say,
that it was only fair that inquiry should be instituted to give
satisfaction to those whose interests were at stake. He
would always enter his protest against any measure that wen
to give an advantage to other colonies over those of our own,
which would be the cave if foreign sugar was to be per.
mined to he imported for the purpose of being refined
for exportation. The West Indian proprietors had a right,
at all events. to have an opportunity to make out their case.
There had been time enough during the last two weeks fora
sleet committee to have sat, foe it was net enzuldfor the
house to be told that the Board of Trade was on the
subject. The West Indian interest only asked for justice.
and they had a right to have it. Nome could be more
anxious than he that every man should be free; but to con-
template in this measure an effort to effect the emancipation
..f the blares was an act of injustice. It would not be the
most sound policy to emancipate the slaves by the ruin of
their masters at one blow. It was for Government to name
a time when all *lmes were to be free; but prudence would
dictate that their emancipation must be gradual. The hoe.
member said, that unless all the sugars of the West Indies
could be consumed in this country, a teduaiou of the duty
would do no good. The navigation laws must be altered
before relief would be affotded,and the expense of production
must be reduced. This could not be dens unless Govern-
ment were prepared to put a stop to the foreign slave trade;
fee in Antigua, and other places where the walk in slaves
was clandestinely tolerated by the mother country of the
colonies, a slave could be purchased foe 40L while in the
English colonies no slave could be had far less than 801; and
' • until this was adjusted, it would be impossible to place the.
growers in the different colonies on an equal footing. Bo

numbers must be convinced that that was only to' be can_

sugar refining in the West Indies ; but tam bu proposed
that as a measure, he bad been told by some boa. gentle-
men that it was now too late; the distress of the West In-
dian proprietors was such that they were not able to
stand the expense of its establishment, and It was of no
me Government bringing formal any measure until they
could do so under circumstances which would be entirely
effective. : •

Mr. BURGE said, that by adopting the mature new
11703 would 00ed they gravely violate the laws of their statute
. The hoe. member, in proof of this statement read a
number of acts of parliament. He alluded to the mopeds
that had been entered Into by France, Russia, and other
powers..for the soppression of the forties slave trade, and
called the attention of the noble lord to the glees manner
in which those powers had violated their compacts. He in-
stanced Russia, which had done every thing In its power to
discourage the importation of sugar from the colonks of
Britain, which had really abolished the slave trade, and had
in every manner encouraged the importation of sugars from
the colonies of other countrks that still continued the slave
trade.and he would ask the government how they could think ,
of bringing forward a measure which was to encourage coun-
tries that had so barely broken faith. The boo. member
read extracts to prove that the slave trade had increased in
France since that power had enacted laws for hs supine'.
Won ; but France, he said, adopted a policy which he
wished could be adopted in this country ; they always pre-
served, under every circumstance, the interest of their own
colonies. He would call upon the Government. upon their
own principle, to discourage the foreign slave trade, and to do
so they ought not to Wing forward any law that was to en.
coura2ethe impottation of foreign sugar. It appeared to him
that they only considered the colonies in proportion to
the sum which they brought lido the treasury, without
the least consideration of the capital that was embarked in
their commerce by the proprietors. The colonies were loyal
now.bat he feared ere leas they would be brought to possess
no
more feeling for their country beyond the burdens that
had been entailed upon them by it. If the opinion was
entertained that the colonies were worth nothing, they
ought to be told so. and they might perhaps and some
other power willing to receive the. When the duty on
coffee was reduced, it had the effect of extending ha con-
sumption it had now found ha way into every hovel in
the Kingdom, and he did not me why. by reducing the
duty on Sugar, the same bettelldal consequences would
not accrue in an extension of the consumption of sugar.
—He was, however, convinced that his Honourable
friend (Mr. K. Douglas) bad brought forward his motion at
a disadvantageous moment, and he would be glad could be
him withdraw it; but he hoped that the noble

l to
ld consent to submit the Sugar Refining Bill to a

Mr.S. DOUGLAS. after a abort explanation. begged
lean to withdraw his amendment.

On the motion being put,
Mt. p. THOMSON said, that the gentian of the West

unfitting time; that hoe. members must have misunderstood
the motion before the House, far they would have disap.

Mr. P. THO3IPSON, in reply to the courteous

LOKI ALTROSP took part, and which was chiefly a repeti-

The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be re-
ceived to-morrow.

The Money Payment Acts Repeal Bill passed through a
committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on
Friday.
Mr. LITTLETON moved that the horse resolve itself
into a committee on the Money Payment of Wages Bill.
Mr. CR INSET PELHA M objected to the bill, which
he thought would not produce the good effects expected
from it by its supporters.
Mr. HUME was very sorry to End the member for Rte.
ford impelled, by what might properly be called senseless
clamour, to persevere in a measure contrary to all principle.
It was an Act treating the labouring cleanses if they wen
babies, unable to make a contact for their own lsbour....
Why should they not be allowed to sell their labour for
money, or for provisions, as might be most for their interest ?
He would tell them more, that many a man would starve if
the Bill passed. It would drive manufacturers email ca-
pital out of trade, and cause less employment. It was going
back to the days of barbarism, and depriving men of
the liberty of carrying on their business in the only
way In which it could be carried on. He knew the
law would be violated, and that mobs would be
that in their misled fury would attack masters wh=
not give them employment, or who were compelled to lower
their wages. He would charge these violations on Govern.
sent, and the author of the present bill, who. lastesdof seen-
fully meeting the error of the people, Melded to clamour.
Defoe the repeal of the combination laws, the working
elegies attributed all their Metros to these laws ; now they
were satisfied of their error and were content. If the pria-
dig. of the bill was right, why was it not made tear* to
all sorts of employment, instead of which all mime were
exempted, and all agricultural labourers. The hon. mem-
ber knew that if he made his bill apply to agricultural la.
bouren, the country gentleman would drive the bill out of
the house. He knew the bill would be evaded, foe where
it was the interest of both parties to evade it, even bang.
lag could not prevent it. The bill allowed the employer
to pay by giving a bones, or lodging and board. and in
this way the bill would be evaded, as masters would
undertake to board and lodge their workmen. He would
not propose any mmdmes as the bill was wrong In prin-
ciple and maid not bemended. He would. however, take
the sense of the Home on it, and see bow many them were
who would vote for keeping men and masters ht a state of
constant contendon, sod limit the power of employing la-
bour. He regretted that there were any in the country so
Ignorant as to press on such a bill. He believed it was the

lident it would be towed utterly isopesdble to pat down the
track system, which had grown to its pretest strength by
ear 10011/101111 taxation, and the alteration In the aurency.
Mr. STRICKLAND speed in the general principle laid

that it ought to be cut down in the Committee; but there

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PAM* 'STAMM, THIS DAY.

Pans—ramday.
Letters from Cracow, of the 27th of August,
announce a complete defeat of Paskewitsch. We
wait the details, in order to appreciate the advan-
tages which may result from it. However, we
may say that it will be the salvation of that coun-
try ; the actual state of Russia, the interior agi-
tations which have occurred, the poverty of its
treasury, of its proprietors, its magazines difficult
to be provisioned after two years of bad harvest,
will not permit her to assemble a new army. Be-
sides, winter approaches, and these six months
will see perhaps the definitive organization of all
Poland, and scenes of disorder and dissolution in
the empire of the Csar.—Le Temps.
There are twenty-one Journals at Warsaw,
which are of a variety of patriotic opinions, and
which always agree upon the desire of Polish re-
generation, differing but in the appreciation and
choice of the means. Among these organs,
avowed by the nation, exists an obscure journal,l
evidently paid by the Russians, and edited by their
unblushing adherents ; it is the Union. Alas !
The French Ministry, to give us the official recital
of the late events of Warsaw, could do nothing
better than to copy the details from a journal at
once contra-revolutionary, and hostile to Polish in.
dependance. It is absolutely the same as if it had
adopted from the organs of the fallen dynasty the
circumstances of our revolution. That trick is
less serious in its immediate effects, than by the
feeling which it produces. Fatigued by the late de-
bates which the Polish question has raised in the
Chamber, embarrassed by the phrase which im-
plicates a recognition, the ministry has served upon
an unforeseen incident ; it has spit forth all its
gall, and commented with all its hatred, for the
double purpose of frightening men who fear such
scenes, and to justify, before the chamber and the
country, the infamous abandonment of the Polish
cause ; for it is that which is the sole object. The
Emperor Nicholas carried his head so high when
they spoke to him of mediation, that our trembling
braggadocios crept into their shells. A long time
before those events at Warsaw, it had been decided
to do nothing for that last bulwark of honour and
patriotism ; but, we repeat, the promises made
rendered their position critical : but then came the
Waaovian tumult, and it may easily be seen how
our statesmen have crookedly taken advantage of
it. —Cos:trier Francais.
We well know that the present state of pecu-
niary distress in France is the result of the com-
mercial crisis which occurred six years ago ; and
we maintain, that the minister is culpable for having
never yet applied the means to diminish its evil
effects ; but that be has insulted our good sense by
attributing the distress to the political agitation and
disquietude which hare lately existed in the capital.
The proof that such is not the cause of the evil is,
that the minister has declared that misery extends
itself every where. " The great public works in
progress in the capital," says he, " bare attracted
to it innumerable crowds of workmen from all
parts of the country, who offer to the undertaker
a thousand arms where only one is required."
Thus then we see, that in all parte of France,
where there is neither commotion nor agitators,
the number of workmen out of employ is enor-
mous : misery then oppresses the whole country ;
it invades the happiness of all degrees of fortune ;
it strikes equally the merchant of small means,
the small lauded-proprietor, and the humblest
daily labourer ; and it is only in the midst of this
general depression, that there may be a very small
fraction of monied capitalists, who may profit so
fat by general distress, as to enrich themselves.—
This is the true state of affairs.

In the midst of this trouble, where, we ask, is
strength ! where is security ? Without—the
chance of war; within—the agitation of party.
Witbout—aristocracy menacing, and the people
defying it; within—legitimacy suffered to revive,
and to &mates the people ; and the people brand-
ishing the sword cisassace in return. Everywhere,
in fact, twe animist active principles—not dead
abstractions two powers wielding arms of
terror —becalms they support two systems—two
social orgenisadoes—two aggregations of in-
terests, in direct opposition to each other.
Kings with their ancient legions, and the people
with their @emancipated and ever exacting energies ;
and in all these scenes of agitation and ex-
citement, whoa a vast and almost interminable war

At Carbombe dm two Chambers have demanded

fears too much the Diet of Franefort, to sanction

GERMAN PAPERS THIS DAY.

CRACOW, Srrv. I.—The evening before last
a Polish citisen, now residing here' received a
letter, in which be was told, as a thing to be re.
lied on, that after Generals Turno and Milberg had
obtained information of the approach of General
Tohaul's reserve corps, they attacked him on the
other side of the Vistula, dispersed his corps, and
took from him forty pieces of artillery, which were
immediately sent to Warsaw by the road on the
ether side of the Vistula, which remains open.--
This event is likely to exercise a very important
iallusnee in the turn of affairs, for it is nearly evi-
*int that this alone has prevented Marshal Puke-
vritsch from giving battle. Attached to General
Tolstoi. reserve corps were important supplies of
ammunition and other stores, a military chest, and
a "toothy of borses.—Cracow Courier.
Sur. 3.—Some days ago a Polish
corps unexpectedly appeared near our frontier on
the right bank of the Vistula, forcing the small
Russian detachment stationed there partly to cross
the river by the bridge of SAD°, partly to seek re-
fuge upon Prussian ground. The bridge the Rus-
sians have broken up, to save the important maga-
zines they have formed is that quarter. The
strength of the Polish corps is not known, nor by
whom it is commanded. Yesterday evening
heard a brisk cannonade, bet the result is sot
known. The cholera has been raging here for sou
days to a most dreadful extent, Yesterday we had
32 eases of sickness. and 21 deaths.
The Cracow Courier has an article with the
sotto " Nil derperandess," in which the present
strength of the Polish army in the camp before
Warsaw is estimated at 170,000 men, inclediog

Warsaw consists of 80,000 regular and 50,000
irregular troops.
