Sir E. Buxton has brought forward motion
in the House Of Commons relative to the duties ON
sugar, declaring that it is unjust and mpolitic to
expose the freegrown sugar of the British Colonies
to unrestricted competition with the sugar Of foreign
slave-trading countries. This was evidently the
motion upon which the dexterous Protectionists
relied for producing an effect on the country. The
division showed majority of Al against the mo-
ton, in a house of 500 members. The motion
was brought forward on the ground of humanity,
and enlisted the support of number of real and
semi Free Traders and several of the Liberal party,
with Joseph Hume at their head. They voted on
this motion purely from desire to take another
step towards extinguishng the slave trade. The
Protectionsts greedily seized this opportunity to
embarrass the Ministers, which was extremely
well exposed in the opening of Lord PALNERsroN' 8
speech:
"My honorable friend who introduced this motion pro-
posed the ground Of humanity and mode Of getting
rid of the slave but scarcely had his arguments fallen
when the debate took another turn and from that
time his motion has been chiefly supported on the ground OF
protection, principle which believe my honorable friend
had himself intended advocate. Hear hear Almost
the only example Of consistency which have witnessed in
the Of this debate is that consistency Of talent and
ability which have been displayed by the honorable member
who has for the first time spoken this question: and who
has proved himself be the consistent representative of that
father whom have often heard with admiration within
these walls"
This last move of the advocates of protection and
dear bread, has been the shabbiest and worst they
ever made. The compliment in the conclusion of
Lord Palmerston's observation was paid to Mr..
STANLEY, M. p. for Lynn, and son OF Lord Stan.
