The effect of the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and what followed, is thus graphically described by the Morning Chronicle: "The House was unusually crowded, in the expectation of some decisive announcement from Lord John Russell; and a number of peers, spiritual and temporal, among whom were Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Abinger, Lord Cardigan, the Bishop of Rochester, Lord Ellenborough, Lard Combermere, &c., flocked in, evincing by their anxious looks how keen was the interest they took in the proceedings.

How ingenious, and yet how direct, is this exposure of the hypocrisies, which demolishes the pretences in simply showing the practice :"I grant that hon. gentlemen opposite say that because we encourage the labour of slaves in North America, that is no reason why we should begin to encourage slave labour in South America. But do we not encourage the labour of slaves in South America? Is that a new evil? Is it not notorious to every man in the country that we do encourage the labour of slaves in South America as far as we possibly can? (Cheers.) Do we not send out a large amount of our commodities to the Brazils, and do we not receive in payment for these commodities sugar and coffee, the produce of the labour of slaves? (Cheers.) We are called upon to refrain from encouraging slave labour. Do we not, I ask, encourage the slaves of North America to produce as much cotton as they can, and do we not send that cotton to South America, in order to induce them, by slave labour, to produce as much sugar as they can? (Cheers.) We say to the Brazils, We can supply you with a quantity of cotton cheaper and better than you can get it elsewhere, will you buy it? They say in return, Certainly we will, and we will pay you in sugar and coffee.' We say then, No; sugar and coffee are the produce of slave labour; we are men of principle, our consciences will not allow us to consume slavethere?

We say, We will not consume sugar and coffee, the produce of slave labour, but the Germans are not so conscientious; take your produce there, and get for it money which we have no scruple to accept.'

Slave-labour sugar shall not contaminate our warehouses, our shops, or our tables, but as to our ships, that is a very different thing. (Loud cheers). But the Brazilians say there is another difficulty, and indeed there is no end to them. (Hear). The Brazilians say the Germans like our sugar, but they are fond of refined sugar, we cannot refine our sugar, and the Germans are not willing to do so.' But we again say, 'Oh, we are aware of that, we will step in and help you, we will refine your sugar for you.' (Cheers). So that however sinful it may be to continue slave-labour sugar, there is no sin in refining it. (Cheers). We refine it then, and think we have done.

(Loud cheers). It can do them no harm to eat slave-labour sugar, and to prevent any difficulty, we tell you that if that will not do, and if through any accident our own sugar shall get dear, we will eat your slave-grown sugar ourselves.

Sir, I have perused with much interest your remarks on the restrictive duties on Indian produce, and, with not less curiosity, the report of the discussion on the same subject in the Commons House of Parliament. I have now lying before me a printed statement of moneys received and expended on account of this estate from official assignee, and sent to me in October, 1839, by which it appears that the receipts during that period amounted to 205,0391. 4s. 7d., and the payments for charges of various kinds to 201,3581. 2s. 6d., leaving the important balance of 3,6817. 2s, 1d., or less than 2 per cent. on the receipts, to be carried to the account of the estate for the benefit of the creditors.
