Lord Broughsm voted with Lord Stanley: he
evide ntly dsliked tho idea OF q free aud unre.

and stoully affirmed that this was no tree trade

Oregon and California Trade.
Lord Peterborough said that United States YES
sells carrying out cargoes to California or Oregon
might go to British ports in India, compete with
British ships there a. u prices get cngoes. and
thus lower freights. British emisrant vessels DO
so now. He had heard that 100000 tons OF Ame'
rcan shipping were now eDssged IN taking emit
| grants 10 Californis Lord Grey thought that the
cheaper they got freigbts 70 Ausuaia the better,
and Mr. L sboacbere and Lord Wharnclihs waited

At present. no United States vessel can take Ia q
cargo az Quebec unless for . foreign port bot the
repeal will enable our shipping 10 compete freely
