THE LIVERPOOL MEETING ON THE SUGAR

QUESTION.

The meeting of Tuesday last at the Sessions House+
upon the subject of Lord John Russell's proposed modifi'
cations of the Sugar Duties, resulted in another triumph
of the intellect and prosperity of the town over that small
but self-sufficient party who style themselves free traders;
who arrogate to themselves the character of luminaries of
the first class, and assume that all who disagree with then
are immersed in the depths of ignorance. It was a de-
monstration of which Liverpool might well be proud, and
from whose proceedings, orderly throughout, and full fe
ability, the parliament of Great Britain itself might with
advantage take a lesson. Deeply interested in the subject
before them as were many of the speakers opposed to the
then existing law affecting our sugar colonies—one of life
or death to some and of intense interest to others • Ow
taming amongst them, and having around them, the re'
presentatives of some of the oldest and most respectable
firms in Liverpool, connected with our colonial trade'
whilst the advocates of the application of a birth'
measure of free trade to those colonies were composaVl
part of rude theorists, and wholly of parties unconnected
with, or having interests apart from their maintenarl
in, or rather their restoration to prosperity. We
no attempt to bear down the weight of the arguines4
adduced by clamour, on the one side, or tu
other;. and still less by the influence and weight et
i;
authority which must ever attach to the opinions of
gentlemen as Mr. Shand, Mr. Adam Hodgson, „„11,'„'
Josias Booker, and others upon such a subject. I'4
overwhelming majority, therefore,.in favor of the whele,"A
the resolutions must be considered on the part of colonw
protection,. must be set down as the result of pure COe,,i
viction on the part of the meeting—as a declaration
the sentiments on the subject of a majority composinga
men of every shade of politics, establishing above ,_,
things the fact that, in the opinion of the commercial
people of Liverpool, the question at issue as to the treat-
ment by the mother country towards herfree labour snej
colonies is one which cannot and ought not to be decide'
on purely free trade or politico-economical principles.
There was another characteristic of the meeting O.
Tuesday, which contributed to establish the exception
this measure from the rule to be applied to other subjects.
We refer to the fact that, amongst the most able of the
speakers, and listened to with the deepest attention, never
attempted, even by those amongst the adverse minority'
upon whom their arguments appeared to tell with thi;
greatest force, to be reproached with having descended
from the exercise of their high functions to mingle in the
strife of ordinary politics—were two clergymen of tb°
Church of England, the Rev. Dr. M•Neile and the Reg'
Thomas Nolan, A.M. The question involved in il
treatment of our sugar-producing colonies was recogniose-,
as one involving the sacred rights of humanity, and e
national faith and justice as well as the merely selfish
question of money and cheapness. In their hands it w.
elevated above these paltry considerations ; and it is sigr
ficant that the resolution moved by the Rev. Dr. M'Nelg
affirming the adherence of. the mee`ing to the princili!
of " British Justice, British Consistency, and British
Honour," was carried by a great majority, and wit
greater enthusiasm than any other.

THE LIVERPOOL WAREHOUSING COMPA

We noticed briefly in our last the object of this co°,
pany, whose prospectus appears in our advertising columns
this day ; and we learn that daring the week the Plll/2
proposed has been discussed in many influential quart_irersr
and promises to meet with a large share of success. 7
have ourselves more maturely weighed it, and it Xll9
seems to us that nothing but some such measure Orr
effectually protect the great mass of warehouse proper .
!
throughout the town from serious deterioration. In POP'
cular we would direct the attention towards it of the owner:
of those warehouses, whose means and position de net
admit of making large advances for the purposes of 17.:
provement, and whose interests would be greatly served 70
the proposed central management, by the CorapanY:,
officers, and the advantages of the improved machine"
to be provided.

The departure of the West Indian mail has been spill
postponed until to-morrow (Wednesday.)

FATAL SQLJABBLE.—On Friday last two men iore'
village of Greasby, near Upton, commenced a clu
which, unfortunately, ended in a fight, during which big
of them, named Evans, received so severe a blow on

side, from his antagonist, that he died soon after.
SINKING OF A PIER.—On Sunday, the Fire Kinfil-or
Gravesend steamer, came with such force against the
steam pier, Temple-bar, that it forced the dummy agalter,
a pile, which entered its keel, when it filled with ova
sank, and dragged down the whole pier with it. 11119
