tell the country that he has been enabled to diminish
the public burthens I If by contracting fresh debt,'"and
by issuing new lExchequer bills, the noble lord imagines
be can relieve the country, he is only practising delusion
upon those who have faith in his dreams, but who, in the
end, will have to pay for his stupidity.

The remaining portions of the speech are not entitled
to any notice, and therefore we deem it a matter of duty
to consign them to that place where we are daily in the
habit of consigning better compositions and more intellec-
tual sentiments, and where, along with which, we should
have no objections to throw his MAJESTY'S ministers.

In discussing the question of refining foreign sugars,
we have always reserved ourselves for an examination
into the. experiments which have, for a long time past,
been carried on by Dr. URE, under the direction of the
Government, whenever they might be brought to a con-
clusion. They are now officially presented to our notice.
We have heard much of the pains said to be taken by the
earned professor of chemistry to arrive at accurate re
We know his own estimate of his powers; and
we cannot forget that we have even ventured to express
doubts as to his own being a fair estimate of those pow-

Whether our view in that respect was, or was not,
a just one, it would be quite needless for us to state, were
we addressing ourselves exclusively to sugar refiners.
But as that is not the case, we will first give the Doctor's
own statement, and then put ourselves to the trouble of
doing that, without which his figures would be wholly
unintelligible; namely, reduce his gross calculations of
entire quantities operated upon, and the products ob-
tained from each, to the several proportions of those pro-
ducts obtained from 1121bs. of each kind of sugar which
he made the subjects of his experiments.
First, then, we present Dr. URE's general abstract,
bearing his signature.
