Oldham,
Mr. WAKLEY defended Mr. Fielden, and said that tile
adjournment was necessary in order that the fallacies pro-
pounded by Mr. Roebuck might be answered.
Mr. FIELDEN, after some observations, persevered in the
motion for adjournment, upon which the house divided, and
the adjournment wos negatived by a majority of 297 to 29.
Sir C. NAPIER then moved the adjournment, on which
Sir R. PEEL said he deeply regretted the course that had
been pursued, as the adjournment of the debate to Monday
would necessarily cause the postponement of the new tariff.
He hoped that in the future discussions on this bill the house
would not forget that Mr. Fielden had expressly declared
his object was to prevent the progress of the bill until the
existing one should have died a natural death.
After a few observations from Mr. Hawes, Mr. Wakley,
and Mr. Fielden, the debate was adjourned until Monday.
The Colonial Possessions Abroad Bill went through com-
mittee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH POLICY UPON THE

SUBJECT OF FREE TRADE

(From the Guiana Times.)

The Radicals of England clamour for the admission of
foreign corn. In America, at the self-same time, the farmers
and manufacturers of that new country cry out for protec-
tion. " The time is coming, when there must be action at
Washington, energetic and decisive ; when the product of
the farmer, and the skill of the manufacturer, of our country,
must be protected." Thus enunciateth Brother Jonathan
the strength of his attachment to the principles of reciprocity
in his trade with John Bull. Even in the South, alarm is
taken at the want of national protection for native goods.
" We learn that large orders have been sent from Boston
and Salem to the East Indies for cotton, during the last
month. The increasing products of cotton in the British
East Indies will soon attract the attention of our Southern
producers, who must resort to a tariff of protection." It is
to be observed, that the question of the duties proper to be
levied on foreign imports was one which the Southern States
aal the Northern were accustomed to split upon. But, not
onTi cotton, but boots and shoes (of French manufacture),
are admitted into the States, to the ruin of the republican
artizan. One vessel, from Havre, recently brought 5,256
pairs. These, and other instances of the prevalence of the
trade with foreigners, are loudly exclaimed against in the
papers before us. Indeed, the " Friends of Domestic In-
dustry," in America, are almost as active as the English
" Anti Corn-Law-League," with this simple but noticeable
difference, that the former go patriotically to work, while the
latter play into the hands of the rivals of their fellow-coun-
trymen. Good heavens! What changes time works in the
temper of nations! America, in the sixty-sixth year of her
existence, begins to repudiate the doctrines of free-trade, and
reads a salutary and striking lesson to the wavering politi-
cians of England who talk of opening the English ports to
the ships of the whole world !
