Sir 'ROBERT PEEL reminded the house that there was still
a deficit in the revenue to meet the expenditure, and they
were not therefore in a position to listen to propositions for
the reduction of taxes. With respect to the diminution of
our export of coals to the United States, it was to be accoun-
ted for by the fact that those states had levied a duty of no
less than 8s a ton on the importation of British coal. They
had not sufficient experience to judge of the operation of the
tax, and he therefore hoped the house would support the Go-
vernment in opposing the motion of the noble lord.
Mr. LIDDELL said that although in point of time he thought
the motion of Lord llowick injudicious, yet he should give
it his support. The motion being lost on division, by 187
to 124, the house went into committee pro forma, and re-
sumed.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

Naples had retraced her policy she found that nevertheless
this country had been enabled to maintain competition with
her in our own markets, and that a considerable portion of
the trade in that article had been consequently lost to that
country. The proprietors of the Great Western steam-ship
were in the habit of sending out coals to America for the
consumption of the return voyage. The duty prevented
their doing so any longer, and they were now compelled to
make the return voyage with American coal. The right hon.
baronet had estimated the produce from the coal duty at
£140,000, but it had only produced £lOO,OOO, from which
was to be deducted £12,000, the amount of the former duty.
This miscalculation, however, was, not the only evil, for
he believed that the Treasury was a loner rather than a
gainer by a measure which by its indirect operation affected
every branch of trade in the kingdom.
Mr. GLADSTONE said he should not at that late hour reniv.
to the invectives against the Government, with which the
noble lord had interspersed his speech. He admitted that a
tax upon one branch of export necessarily had an effect upon
all other articles connected with it, arid he also admitted that
to regain a trade once lost was far more difficult than was its
original attainment • but these were general propositions
which no one would 'dispute. The real question was whether
the finances of the country'were in such a position as to per-
mit the opening up of the discussion of the repeal duties.
Time short experience of nine months was not sufficient to
test the policy of this duty, which was not adopted until
after the fullest consideration. The right honourable gentle-
man contended at some length that the duty was perfectly
justifiable under the circumstances of the country, and that
the estimates upon which Lord Howick had grounded his
opposition to it were fallacious. The falling off in the expor-
tation of coals, as shown by the noble lord, was only a falling
off as compared with the trade of last year; but last year's
trade was unnaturally swelled by the enormous exportation
which took place in anticipation of the duty. He was not of
opinion that the pressure on the shipping interest was to be
attributed to this tax, but rather to the general depression in
trade ; nor did he think any case had been made out calling
for the interference of the house.
Mr. H. HINDE said that the defence of the tax by Mr.
Gladstone amounted only to this, that the shipping interests
were not so badly off as they might have been. Ile thought
that no answer had been given to the case made out by Lord
Howick.
Lord HARRY VANE said that the result of the tax would
be to cause English capitalists to go over to France, to work
the coal mines in that country, of which there were no less
than sixty one open, though not worked.
Mr. BELL would support the motion, though he did not
think it well-timed and had done all he could to induce Lord
Howick not to bring it forward.
Sir G. CLERK contended that the tax bad not depreciated
the shipping and trading interests as was insisted upon by
the noble lord.
Mr. LABOIICHERE contended that the coal and spirit dit-
ties, which had been last year laid on, were wholly failures as
measures of' revenue, while they had inflicted great mischief
on the shipping and other interests of the country. He
should vote against the tax because the evil it was producing

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNEsDAY

Mr. HustE gave notice that on Tuesday week lie would
bring forward his motion respecting the discontinuance of
the pension to the King of Hanover.
Mr. M. GIBSON asked if it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to persevere with the Factories Bill and the Eccle-
siastical Courts Bill, a general feelisig being prevalent that
the former measure would be abandoned for the present ses-
sion, in consequence of the frequent postponements which
had taken place ?

Sir R. PEEL said that the postponements were attributa-
ble to the frequency of adjourned debates. His right hon.
friend (Sir J. Graham) would however make a statement on
the subject of these hills last evening.
The house then resolved itself into committee on her Ma-
jestv's message, and
Mr. I i um-. objected to the grant of a dowry to the Princess
Augusta of Cambridge, although he admitted that the con-
duct of the Duke of Cambridge in his private as well as pub-
lic life, as compared with that of the other members of the
royal family, was deserving of the admiration of the house.
lie condemned the motion as emanating from the ministers
of the crown, and as calculated to render the princes of the
blood dependent upon the minister of the day, an evil of
great magnitude when it was considered what influence those
princes necessarily exercised over a considerable portion of
the public. He thought it right to grant pensions to princes
of the blood, but he was opposend to extending this to the
remote branches of the royal family, for if it were ne-
cessary to pay all the Princes well and liberally, they
ought to be made to provide for their own offspring.
He referred to the pension to the Prince Mecklen-
burg Strelitz, the father of the prince about to be mar-
ried to the Princess Augusta. That pension was granted
on the ground that he was the nephew of the Queen of
England, and as the money was horrowed by the country
at £5 per cent., the pension had already cost the country
£335,000 at compound interest. Where were these things
to end—where was the line to be drawn—or was the country
thus to be called upon to pension every branch of the royal
family, however remote? According to calculations he had
made, assuming that her royal highness should live forty.
five years longer, this pension of £3,000 per annum would
cost the country no less than £500,000. If her Majesty
was told that this grant might entail such a charge upon the
public, he was convinced she would never sanctio❑ it ; and
the ministers, therefore, were the parties to blame for not
stating the case fairly to her Majesty. The hon. member
several times complained of interruption, and at length said
he would name the parties causing the interruption. There
was a party growing up in that house which called itself
" Yung England," and though lie might he running counter
to the feelings of Young England, he would still persevere
in stating his opinions. The payments to the royal family
• exceeded £700,000 per annum, exclusive of parks, palaces,
&c., and this while the country was in almost a state of

bankruptcy, for it was unable to meet its engagements with:

out boi•ro''ing. The hon. member concluded by moving
"That it is the opinion of this committee that the ample
allowance granted for a lengthened period to his Royal High.
ness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to
make provision for his children ; and that it was neither wise
nor just, in the present state of distress of the manufacturing
and labouring classes of the community, to propose any
dowry for her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of

Cambridge."
Sir R. INGLIS contended that the crown had lost 47
millions, which sum the people had gained by the bargain
which it had made with the crown for the surrender of the
crown lands. Having thus lost the means of making such
grants as the one before the house, the crown had a right to
call upon the parliament to enable it to do so.
Mr. F. BARING did not think the bargain a bad one for
the crown, but he did not think that that had anything to do
with the question. lie was of opinion that as the crown had
given up its means of making provisions such as the present,
it was but reasonable that parliament should be called
upon to do so. This grant was no extension of the line to
which former grants applied, and he thought it was not un-
reasonable that parliament should be called upon to do so.
This grant was no extension of the line to which former
grants applied, and he thought it was not unreasonable to
give £3OOO per annum to the granddaughter of a king. He
thought, however, that the grant should not come into cope_
ration until after the cessation of the pension of the Duke of
Mecklenherg Strelitz.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was the wish of the Government
to make to the house such a proposition as would be deemed
reasonable by every honourable member. There could be
no doubt but that the income of the Duke of Cambridge was
a large one, hut then the demands upon it for charitable pur-
poses were also very large ; and it was for the interests of
the public that means should be given to enable royal prin-
ces to promote by their example the numerous charitable in-
stitutions with which this country abounded. The line was not
in this case extended, and the house, therefore, in agreeing to
this proposition would not be establishing a new precedent. In-
deed in the case of the Princess Sophia of Gloucester the grant
was £7,000 a year, while, in the present case, which was not so
remote in blood, the grant proposed was only £3,000 a-year.
With respect to what had fallen from Mr. Hume as to the
blame attributable to Ministers for not informing her Ma-
jesty that this pension might be equivalent to the sum of
£300,000, he must say that if he bad done so he feared her
Majesty would not have credited the statement—(much
laughter)—even on the high arithmetical authority of the
hon. gentleman. (Increased laughter.)
Mr. 11 UME replied ; and on a division the motion of the
hon. member was defeated by a majority of 223 to 57.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned.

We believe it is quite true that the Vice-Presidentship of
the Board of Trade, vacant by the promotion of Mr. Glad-
stone, was offered to Mr. Hogg, M.P. for Beverley, an East
India director, and chairman of the late Nottingham Election
Committee which unseated Mr. Walter, sem; Mr. Hogg
