without limit; whereas, under a system of protection,
or without it, there could be no hope of any extension
of our colonial trade ! Consent to receive the slave
produce of the Brazils, and Mr. Lawrence Heyworth
predicts a vast increase of British exports; but our
noble Indian possessions, East and West, our Austra-
lian possessions and the Canadas are not worth a
thought ! No extension of our commerce with these
is to be sought, or can be realised. What has ever,
before the age of this eminent philosopher, been
termed " the colonial greatness of England," for the
possession of which every nation in the world would at
any moment lay down millions, is no greatness at all !
Is is nothing in comparison with the advantage of a
tea and coffee-drinking generation being enabled to put
a double quantity of cheap moist or lump into their
favourite beverage !

Really Mr. Heyworth is damaging the cause of the
anti-monopoly people more than all the protestations,
written or spoken, of their opponents.

NEW ELECTION FOR ST. PETER'S WARD.—The
election of a councillor for St. Peter's Ward, in the
place of Mr. Samuel Holme, whose resignation was
noticed in our last, takes place this day. We believe
there will be no opposition, the Conservatives having
judiciously fixed upon a man to whom not the shadow
of an objection can be urged by the Liberals, for in all
these practical points where the knowledge and expe-
rience of Mr. Holme were so valuable, a more able
substitute could not be found,—namely, Mr. John
Stewart, of the late firm of Messrs. Foster and Stewat t.
His name carries with it the strongest claim upon the
constituency of the ward. Mr. Sinclair, who was men-
tioned in our last as the Conservative candidate, de-
clined to come forward.
