LETTERS OF MR . O'BRIEN TO THE EDITOR OF THE " NORTHERN STAR" AND TO THE TJNBEPRE 5 ENTED CLASSES . TO THE BDITOB OP THB N 0 BTHEB > STAB . Sib , —From your conduct towards ma on former occasions , jt was my intention never again to trouble you with any communication , public or private ; but yoa have so fonlly and basely misrepresented me in your last paper , that I feel bound by the respect I owe the Chart ist body , to notice the deception you have practised on them at my expence . I therefore demand the publication ef this , not less on public grounds , than on grounds personal to myself . I demand it , not as a favonr , { for I -will owe yon no favour , ) but as a matter of right ; and if yon trill not insert my letter on that ground , yon need not insert it alL
The part you represented me as having acted at the Birmingham Conference , is the very opposite of the part I did set , —and you know it . Had O'Connor been in the same . place , and acted the like part , how different would hsre been your commentary ! Tour " leading , " or rather misleading article is , from first to last , ( as far as I am concerned , ) a gross and wilful perversion of facts ; artfully got up for the purpose of denouncing me in the estimation of the Chaitist public . But you will net succeed . I defy jou—I defy O'Connor himself -with all his popularity and influence , to make the Chutist public believe that my conduct on Conference ¦ was what youx laboured article would ( by its perversions , suppressions , and studied misrepresentations ) lead them to believe . That conduct I am prepared to
defend against you or any other person ; and for that purpose I hereby challenge you to meet me before the public , either in your own town of Leeds , or in Birmingham , Manchester , or London . Let the meeting be a public one , openly and fairly convened , with due notice given , < fcc You shall yourself name the time and place ; or if you cannot afford the time , I will meet O Connor-or any other man , or set of men , whom you may choose to nsxae . Now mind , you don't burke this challenge as you did mj answer to the challenf& of the Socialists . With all the power and popularity of O'Connor and the Star , I am not afraid to meet any or all of you in a just cause . I will not argue With you for a victory , or leadership . Yictory I despise , leadership I abhor . I will meet you only to establish justice for myself , and truth for the public .
Tisnotof your leading article alone I complain . I complain also of O'Connor ' s letters , and of certain reported proceedings and resolutions relating to the Conference , ¦ which you have inserted in the Star , all of ¦ which are calculated to place me in a false position before the Chartist public This you have no right to do—you have do right to use the Northern Star , which you call " tha people ' s organ , " to rain honest public servants in their geod opinion by false and malicious representations of their acts . In my capacity of delegate or deputy at the Conference , I was the servant ot the Chartists of Wotton-nnder-Edge , in Gloucestershire . Tour misrepresentations of my condnct in that capacity are calculated to iDjure me in their estimation , and not only in their ' s , but in the estimation of the Chartiit public generally . This is a wrong , a grievous wrong , ¦ which you have no right to inflict . I demand redress at your hands , and , I tbinfc , I demand only what is just when I
ask—1 st . That yon will either publicly accept , or publicly decline my challenge ; and that if you accept , you will name this time and place in next week ' s Star . 2 nd . That the question to be tried between us be , " whether yon have , or have not , most foully misrepresented me in last week ' s Star ; and that for the purpose of bringing me into t > diuci with thB Chartist body "—to -which you may add , if you like—" whether your editorial practice of condemning and encouraging others to condemn men without a hearing , and upon crparle statements , is not calculated to destroy our cause , by driving away from onr ranks in despair and disgust , every intelligent man of spirit who may happen to give umbrage to O'Connor , yourself , or the admirers of the Star . " -. 3 rd . That you will publish in the Star of the following week , a foil and impartial report of the discussion , the reporter to be apereen unconnected with either
party . 4 th . That you -win insert along -with this ( by way of antidote to the poison yon hav « disseminated , ) the following address to the Chartist body . I have made it as brief as possible , that you may have no excuse for rejecting it , on the score of inconvenient length , or the ¦ crowded state" of your columns . Yours , &c James B . O ' Beien .

rTbe tone and temper of this letter would have perfectly justified us in putting it into the fire , instead of publishing it But we can very well afford to allow an angry man to splutter ; the more particularly when we have given him no cause to be angry . We have never yet fcnown a leader preparing to bolt from the conrie -who did not kisk most viciously at the Snt admonition of the Northern Star , however gtntie or genUempnly .

the voice , its sound is hateful if sounded otherwise than in praise . God knows , that nothing in the whole movement affords us so much pleasure as to praise the leaders , ¦ whenever yre can do so con-BiBtently and honestly ; and that we have never omitted any opportunity of calling the attention of the people to the merits and deserts of Mr . O'Brien , from whose energetic writings we believe the cause of liberty and sound principle to have received much furtherance . But though we believe Mr . O'Brien , to hare been a very useful man , we cannot therefore consent to fall in love with every thing he may Bay and do , merely because it happens to be his saying and doing . We respect Mr . O'Brien much for the services he has rendered s but we respect the cause
to-which those services have been rendered much more . And though we are quite ready te give Mr . O'Brien all the credit for shrewdness of judgment to which he is entitled , we venture to hope that the public , at all events , will see that we may chance to differ with him in opinion , and to express that difference of opinion in friendly aad gentlemanly language , without meriting the morceau here bestowed upon us . We have never hesitated to give Mr . O'Brien free liberty to dissent from our opinions , and to express his dissent in our own columns ; which he has done , ere now , with much less of courtesy than we have always observed towards him . Yet we never prated to the people about Mr . O'Brien " seeking to iojure us in the estimation of the Chartists . " We never
talked of his dissension from onr advice or opinions as the inflicting of a " grievous wrong" ! Nor did we ever vapour about " demanding redress at his bands , " or challenge him to meet us to discuss the question of whether bis expression of diBsent from our policy and proceeding was not " intended for the purpose of bringing ua into odium with the Chartist body" ? Hod we done so , we should have been laughed at , and thrown overboard by the people ; and we should have richly deserved it We < an tell Mr . O'Brien , that if we do not preatly mistake the character and intelligence cf the Chartist public , the time for such letters as this of his to do any harm to any one but their authors , or to do any thing bnt barm to their authors has gone by . The people have now a knack of thinking ; of looking beyond tha mere wordy surface , and forming their opinion from facts and principles . Mr . O'Brien has enough of judgment to perceive tbat
his position in the Sturgite Conference was unnatural , and anomalous , and calculated to excite great SUN prise in the minds of many honest Chartists . The reasoning of our last week's article appears to have satisfied his mind that he has been playing a foolish and idle game ; bathe has not magnanimity enough to acknowledge the conviction thus forced upon him ; and forthwith he is angry with us for having obliged him to see his folly . Feeling conscious that his laudations of the Sturge men , and of their perfect exhibition of the " democratic principle , " would not Buffice to counterbalance the proofs of their insincerity , -which onr article laid plainly before both , him and the people , be hopes to escape from the humiliation of retracing his steps and renouncing his new a ' . liauco by an impudent attempt to brand us ¦ with the titles of liar and miscreant . He affirms that our representation of his proceedings at the Conference is wilfully false . His words are : —
" The part you represented me as having acted at the Birmingham Conference is the very opposite of the part I did act , —and you know it . Had O'Connor been in the same place , and acted the like part , how different would have been your commentary . ' Y « ur " leading . " or rather misleading article is , from first to last ( as far as I am concerned ) , a gross and wilful perversion of facts ; artfully got up for the purpose of denouncing me in the estimation of the Chartist public . " From any other man this paragraph would have surprised us . From Mr . O'Brien it -would at one time have surprised us : it does not now . Our answer to it is that we gave the statements from the Nonconformist newspaper—the official organ of the
Conference ; that wd gave the statements precisely as we found them , neither adding nor diminishing a word , that -we perverted nothing ; that we suppressed nothing ; that we misrepresented nothing ; and that as we cannot suppose that Mr . O'Brien has not seen the Nonconformist , wo must believe tbat he knows this to be the fact . We have Blnca then compared the report given by the Nonconformist with that of the Birmingham Journal and several other papers : we find them all to agree in giving precisely the same version of the facts aa is given by the Nonconformist ; and we must have some better reason than Mr . O'Brien's thinking and saying so , before we can believe that all the oracles of his new friends " are every one of them interested in
misrepresenting ana putting him down" ! The sneer about -what our commentary might probably have been , had O'Connor been in the same place , and acted a like part , is in perfect keeping with the rest of this very disingenuous and insidious letter . The readers of the Star know very well , and Mr . O'Brien knowa very well , tbat we have not heBitated to express , theugh in his own paper , our dissent from , and disapprobation of , Mr . O'Connor's opinions and policy , when ever our regard for public interest required it Mr . O'Brien { knows more : he knowa that he has dissented from Mr . O'Connor ' s opinions , and that he has always had free course to express bin own opinions in the Northern Star ^ however adverse t « those of the Editor and Proprietor , at any length
be pleased . There was always , to . be-sure . * ibis difference between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Brien ; that Mr . O'Connor never presumed to bluster in the style of this letter , about any expression of dissent from bis opinion . We imagine the people know us now sufficiently well to feel satisfied tbat if Mr . O'Connor had been in the same place , and acted the like part , our commentary -would have been similar . We should have respectfully , but firmly and promptly , intimated that we disagreed with him . This is all we have done in the present instance , to call forth the very gentlemanly letter now before us . " The very bead and front of our offending , " is in the following few lines of our last week ' s leading article : —
" What , then , is the conclusion forced upon the mind by all these proceedings taken as a whole ? Ths avowed object of these men is the uniting of the whole energies of the whole people , and particularly the uniting of the middle and "working classes ; and they prosecute this object by a means which can have no other effect than that of breaking up , as far as it may be successful , the union of the working classes already established . This may be sufficient to prove to Mr . O'Brien that hia suspicions of the Stnrgeite ' s were groundless ; we acknowledge , however much wa may regret , to dissent from his opinion , that upon our mind it has worked a conclusion exactly the reverse of this . "
We defy any man breatbing to point out a single word that we have ever written of O'Brien less respectful than those we have quoted above : and yet this 13 to use the Northern Star with a malicious intention to ruin Mr . O'Brieu ! Gad help the poor thin skinned fellow I Bat Mr . O'Brien denies the accuracy of the report He affirms that his conduct—tfeat hu acteand sentiments were directly the opposite of what la reported of him . Snppose , for the sake of argument , the report to have been incorrect , ( which we don't believe ) why then should Mr . O'Brien turn round and abuse as ? We give our authority for every word we say respecting him—we do not profess to give it as our own report , for vj& bad no reporter there—we take
the report from the official organ of the Conference , simply because we are determined not to be charged with having " artfully got up" a report to suit our own purposes . Yet , Mr . O'Brien , knowing these facts , pours ont the full vial of his indignation ¦ agon us , and affirms that tec have laboured by wilful suppressions , and perversion and misrepresentation , to malign and min him with the Chartist public ! He does not condescend to tell us what the suppressions , perversions , and misrepresentations are . A temperately and decently expressed letter informing us that the Nonconformist report , from which we had quoted , was an incorrect one , and giving his own version of the facts and his own correction of the misrepresentations , would have been
a communication at least as likely to obtain insertion in a paper -which has always befriended him , as the insolent and blackguard epistle which he has thought , proper to send . But this , it seems , did not suit Mr O'Biien ' a purpose . He knew perfectly well tbat if any misrepresentation of him had been given in the Northern Star , it had been given unwittingly ; and that nothing would give its conductor greater pleasure than to correct any such misrepresentation . Instead , however , of taking the coarse which any decent man , conscious of having troth on his side , would have taken , Mr . O'Brien thinks proper to placo himself altogether without the pale of civilised society . Tbera is no accounting for taste ; and we hare no wish to interfere with Mr . O'Brien ' s taste .
farther than may be agreeable to him , or necessary to our own protection , or that of the people . As to his vapouring " challenge" (!) we tell him very candidly we have much better occupation for our time . He knew himself to be quite safe in making it ; because he was quite sure that there was no danger of its being accepted . Th ® re are on © or two other points , in this extraordinary epistle , tbatwe must netice before we shakehands with Mr . O'Brien , and wish him better lu ^ k and better temper . Be begins his letter by an insinuation that , at some former time , he has « teived ill usage from us . We do not like gener ? \ tnainuation ; and . would rather have seen the Vhen and the how
hoBestly pointed « ut For tr A satisfaction of such readers as msy feel My inter ^ t jn j ^ we state thus publicly , and we refer to t ' ^ whole of the Northern Star for evidence , that Wf , have never permitted an opportunity of serving Mr . O'Brien ' B interests , or defending or upholding his character , when we could rightly and honestly ^ so , to escape us unimproved . We have watched f « opportunies of serving him in consideration of hi- / former writings on behalf of the cause , as anxiour / y as we could have sought our own personal advan « - / 3 m&i 1 % ) and much more anxiously than We have done £ 0 . We have his own letters by us in which he acr ^ owledges , in glowing terms , " the kind , the generr / QSj nay , the chivalrons manner" in which our regaM fOr his interests and character have been

evinced . He has had the fnil use of the columns of the Northern Star , ^ during the whole ^ term of its existence , to , write , therein , upon public subjects , whatever he thonght proper , ilia conjmaneations on all matters of principle have been inyariably inserted , at whatever incohvenienc © , and in every instance at full length , and without the Blightest alteration , a delicacy of courtesy never extended to any other correspondent of the paper , not even to the proprietor kirriuelf I Aria yet this man , who has always written in the paper whatever he liked , and of whose communications we riover altered a single word , ia the only man who has talked of " suppression aridmntilatiou , " in reference to his correspondence . Upon two occasions he sent
grossly libellous attacks on individuals , for which we refused to make the Slav a vehicle . One of these was a letter : from Lancaster Castle , in referenca to certain parties connected with the Southern Star . The other was what he called his " answer tp the Socialists' challenge" which he here insulta us with having U burked . ' * With the exception of these two matters of personal attack , we repeat that Mr . O'Brien has written in the Northern Star any thing and every thing lie liked ; and we think that the people ; wftl concur with us in the opinion that if , instead of thi 3 letter , ho had written a plain statement of the facts , which he says were misrepresented , to us , it would have been more serviceable to his credir . He insinuates , or rather
asserts plainly , that we make an " editorial practice of condemning and encouraging others to condemn men without a hearing . " He knows this to be false ; and as all our readera know it to be falsa also , we need say do mote abcuS it ; Our insertion of this present letter of Mi . OBrien's is a proof that so far from condemning men unheard , we are willing to hear them even when they have nothing to say . And now we leave Mr . O Brien and his challenge in the hands ef the people , who we have no doubt will deal with them as they deserve ; Mr . O'Brien says that we have misrepresented him ; he does uot say HOW ; he says that we have perverted facts ; he does not say WHAT facts ; he says that we are interested in misrepresenting and putting him down ; he does not say now we can be , or why we should be , so interested . We say that we have
misrepresented nothing ; that wo have quoted the statements ( for which we have given our authority ) fairly and honestly ; that we believe ; from the confirmation made by many other papers , that that statement is correct ; and we are the more satisfied that it is so , because we have seen the last number of the Nonconformist , and do not find in it any notice of any complaint from Mr . O'Brien about the inaccuracy of the report . Here , then , we leave the matter . If Mr . O'Brien can justify himself to the people , we have no objection ; but we have a great objection to be further annoyed or abused by a man towards whom we have never manifested any but a kind and friendly feeling , and foe whom we have now no other wish than that he may live long , and enjoy all the happiness and public confidence to which hia merits and public services entitle him . —Ed .

The Maiquis of Normanby presented a petition from the municipal authorities of Hull , complaining of an excessive ' addition to the numbers of the borpuga magistracy . In the month of November Jast every vacancy had , as they stated , been filled up and the town
possessed its full complement of twenty-four magistrates , when , without any communication with the Town-Council , eight other gentiemen wore , with ho previous notice , put upon the commission . The Noble Lord proceeded to compare his own conduct , when in power , with the course ¦ whichhad been pursued by .-the present Ministers in respect to the appointment of magistrates , and concluded by expressing his conviction that unless future Governments were more sparing in their favours , the office of justice of the peace would become an object of sovereign contempt
The LORD Chancellob defended the numerous appointments whichhe had felt it hia duty to make , by stating the proportion of political partisans whom the late Ministers had , on no other ground , selected , and insisting upon the necessity of giving to each party a fair share of Municipal honours ; In the case of Hull , twenty-three magistrates had in all been originally appointed , four only of whom were Conservatives , and of these four net one had , from one cause or other , ever acted . He therefore thought , in adding eight other Conservatives , gentlemen of high respectabilstyi to the Hat , still leaving a large majority to his opponents , he had done much to dilute and temper the spirit of partisanship which bad [ hitherto infested the beroueh . It had
been generally admitted that there should be an admixture of the opinions of both parties , . and upon that principle had he acted , although only where there was a strong preponderance , and in some cases an exclusive possession of the bench by one party , had h © interfered , He quoted Yarmouth , Giulford , Wigan , Coventry , Leicester , Plymouth , and Bristol , as instances of the unscrupulous extent to which the late Ministry bad carried their political preferences , arid declared , that holding himself responsible for the due exercise of the prerogative of the Crown , he bad mads careful : inquiries into the character of those whom he had selected , and had appointed those only who , but for their politics , would have met with equal favour from his
predecessors . LordCoiTENHAM complained that the Government , in its search for information , had applied to private sources instead of to the Town-Councils , who as a recognised body , should have had the preference . After a few words from Lord Brougham , the petition was laid on the table , and their Lordships adjourned .
Monday , April 18 . The Earl of RlPON moved the second reading of the Corn Importation Bill , and stated the reasons which had led the Government to modify the existing Jaw . Eari Stanhope opposed the Bill , and made a warm attack on Sir Robert Peel and the Government , who , he contended , had grossly deceived the agricultural interest , -which had placed them in power . The Noble Earl spoke at great length , and concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time this day six months . A debate arose , which lasted till nearly twelve o ' clock . i
Earl Hardwickf . declared bis perfect conviction that this Bill did not touch the substantial protection which the farmer enjoyed , while it satisfied the people by modifying a law on which the country had expressed ah irresistible opinion . The Duke of Buckingham was , however , of a different opinion . He viewed the Bill with feelings of the deepest alarm . Tne Earl of WiNCHiLSEA supported the bill aa a "final settlement" of a question which had dangerously agitated the country . Lord Western saw nothing final in it , brought forward , as it had been , by a ministry from whom different things ( had been expected .
Similar opinions as to the instability and temporary nature of the bill were expressed in the course of the evening by Lord ' . Brougham , Earl Fitzwilliam , and Lord Melbourne , who all , however , treated it as a sure step in the right direction . But Lord Brougham , while he expressed a qualified approbation of the bill , could net support it , and proposed an amendment , as an amendment on Earl Stanhope ' s that it was not expedient to lay a duty on the importation of foreign corn . The other speakers were Lord Fitzgerald , who vindicated the Government ; and Lord Beaumont , who expressed his alarm not only at the Corn Importation Bill , but at the reductions and alterations of the new tariff ; After Lord Melbourne spoke ; two divisions took place , oue on Earl Stanhope ' s amendment ,, which was opposed by 119 to 17 ; and on Lord Brougham ' s , which was opposed bj 109 to 5 .
Tuesday , April' \ 9 . -... . ' Lord Melbourne moved a resolution to the effect that a fixed duty on foreign coin imported into this country was ipreferable to a sliding scale varying with the average pricea . His Lordship was , not sanguine as to the adoption of his resolution by tho House / but ha looked forward / with confidence to the day when its truth would yet be acknowledged and acted on . The Earl of Ripon said that this reflolutipnj if acceded to , would annul tho decision of the previous evening , in favour « f the ^ government measure . He was of opinion that a fixed duty would not work very satisfactorily , if » fixed" it could be called ., which would have to vary from eight shillings to nothing , and frem nothing to eight shillings . A long debate ensued , after which a division took place , when the numbers were for Lord Melbourne ' a

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , Apbil 15 . On the order of the third reading of the Mutiny Bill in the House of Commonsy Captain BERNA I . proposed a clause to prohibit flogging in the army during t&e time ef peace , except on a march , or for theft He trusted he should have the aid of Captain Boldero , now a member of the Government , who , before his accession to office ; had been a steady foe to this description of punishment . He stated the progress of legislation respecting it , and combated the conclusion of the Committee wkicb bad reported upon the subject in 1836 . Military men , indeed , were for the moat part adverse to the abolition of the practice ; but the members of all professions were wedded to received forms of disclplina , He thought

that if more attention were given to th « moral and intellectual improvement of the soldiers , offences would 6 a iess numerous , ancl severe punishment less rieesseary . He appealed to the success which attended , the efforts of Lord Vf . Bentirlck and other general OrBcers for the abolition of corporal punishment . It was no wonder that men , deceived into the service by recruiting sergeants , with false hopes of pay and promotion , should become wreckless and Worthies ? . At tho end of a long life of toil and danger , their only reward was a pittance of 6 d . a day , to be paid in case of good behaviour . He believed that a limitation in the term of service would do moro than any severity to improve the character of the army . ' V After Borne explanations from Captain Boldero , respecting the consistency of his own opinions ,
Sir Howard Douglas observed , that the practice of flogging was gradually growing into disuse ? It waa applied only to very gross offencea , arid was always avoided until eyeij other resource had failed . He therefore recommended it to the House to leave the subject in its present favourable train . The proposed clause took a distinction between peace and war ; but it would be highly dangerous to put the soldier ' ngfifc ing his country's battles in a worse situation than the soldier enjoying peace . Equally dangerous waa the distinction as ta the offences on march ; why should these be dealt with pore severely than offences in garrison or on parade ? .
Mr . MACAUtay said , that having been Secretary at War , he thought it right to take his fair share of responsibility for such military legislation as was neces-Bary to the public service ; and , therefore , though he felt that the practice of flogging had formerly been carried to the length of a great abuse , he weuld oppose the present motion . . : Lord A . LENNOX thought the spectacle of-flogging was a brutal and disgusting one ; but he feared it was impossible to dispense with floggia ? altogether . It was not , indeed , practised in the French army , but then there had been eighty-one capital executions in that army during the very lost year ; and what would Captain BernaVs Quaker friends at Wycombe say to . that ? : ... •' . : ' ¦ ¦ : ' ' . "¦ ¦¦ ¦ •¦ . ¦ . Mr . Stani-ey ( AngleBea ) was convinced that if the flogging took place in the sight of the public , the practice would not be suffered to continue another day . . ¦ ¦ •¦ . - .: ¦ ¦ - - ¦ / ¦ : ' - . - ¦ ¦ : ; ' : . ¦ " . ¦¦ ' ¦
Mr . VIVIAN defended the punishment on the score of necessity . It was seldom applied but in the cases of men on ¦ whom all milder penalties were found quite iriefBcaclous . Mr . HowARD spoke on the same side ; as did also Dr . NiCHOLL , the Judge-Advocate ; but as the ' dinner hour was approaching , ' Bon . Members grew irrepreasibly impatient and clamorous , and the debate became Inaudible . Colonel Rawdon referred to the report of the committee appointed to examine this subject in 1836 , who had unanimously declared the impracticability of substituting any other effectual punishment : and to that pnrport the Duke of Wellington had given his decisive evidence . .
The uproar of the hungry was now renewed , and Captain Poliiill obtained but one moment of silence in which to express his disapprobation of Captain Bernal ' 8 motion . On a division , the claus& was rejected . The House having resolved itaelf into Committee on the Colonial Customs _ Bill , Mr . LABeucilEREproposcdthat wheaten flour should continue to be imported , duty free , into the Canadas He adopted the argument of the lata Mr . ' Poulett Thomson , that no British , no imperial object , required the
imposition of any duty on this article ; and that , in the absence of such objects , the mother country ought not to interfere in the taxation of Colonial imports . The present Government had avowed that the duty now proposed by them on this article was not at all Intended for the protection of British agriculture , nor of any Canadian interest , but for inter-colonial objects . What those objects might be he could not understand . He had the same objection to the proposed duty on the import of cured meat . The flour imported into Canada came from , the United States , and waa paid for chiefly in British manufactures .
Mr . Gladstone advocated the proposed duty on the ground of protection , not to any class cf producers , either in England or in Canada , but to the class of consumers in other colonies , which are importing and riot exporting countries , if American flour were imported duty free into Canada , Canada coutd export an eqnal quantity of her own produce , which she would otherwise have retained for her own consumption . The corn which she might so export , for instance , to Newfoundland , would then'be duty free ; but the Newfoundlander would pay the same price for it as for * American corn , which , when imported into Newfoundland , is subject to duty , the difference being gained by the Canadian exporter .
Mr . Roebuck could have understood , however he might disapprove , a wish to protect English agriculture against American produce ; but that was disaavowed , and the interest of consumers in other Colonies , for instance , Newfoundland , was set up . How the Newfoundbnd consumer was \ , to get his corn cheaper , by reason of a is . duty , he could not understand . He contended that it was inexpedient tp interfere with the trade of the Colonies , except for some clear benefit ; and the law of 1778 had declared that this benefit must be the regulation of the commerce of the whole erapirdi Now , the benefit here professed was solely to the consumers in non-exporting Colonies , and it lay on Mr . Gladstone to show how consumers could benefit by a 2 s . duty on an article consumed by tkeni . ¦'¦ - ,..::
Lord Stakley defended Mr . Gladstone , who had not said that the duty of 2 s . would make corn cheaper to the ^^ Newfoundlander , bnt that the Newfoundlander would pay as much for Canadian corn , which bore no import duty in Newfeundland , aa for Aruerican corn , which would have borne a duty there ; while tbe Newfoundland revenue would lose the duty which , if the corn had come to Newfoundland from America instead ofCanada . it must have paid to the Newfoundland exchequer . Mr . Zabouchere's amendment having been negatived by a division ,
Lord John Russell , on the clause respecting salt provisions , condemned the duty as a wanton interference with the general principle of commercial freedom ; and this , not for the sake of consumers , as Mr . Gladstone had alleged , but only for the sake of the Newfoundland revenue , as Lord Stanley had now admitted . He warmly reprobated this petty meddling sort of legislation , as obstructing the commerce between Canada and the United States . Mr . Gladstone censured the beat with which Lord John Russell had spoken .
Mr . LaliOUCHEEE repeated hia objecbons to tho principle of the import duties from the United States into Canada , with reference to the article of salt meat These matters seemed to be of small importance , but they might lead to very serious results . Thei existing system had worked well for eleven years , and was introuucecVby the Whig Cabinet when Lord Stanley himself was a member of it . He did not , however , agree with Mr , Roebuck that the change was a violation of the act of 1778 . Lord HOWIGK considered the charge to beunwarrantsd * by any practical incenvenience in the system which had prevailed for so many years . If there was an injury to the revenue of Newfoundland , let it be met by a local act imposing a duty there on the import of Canadian flour .
Sir R . Peel st-xtedj that on the imports into the other three British provinces of North America from the Un ted States the duty was 5 s . ; into Canada only 2 s . The argutneiit . derived from the mischief of chacging what had been for some years established was one which he was a little surprised to hear urged and cheered on the opposite side of the Hyuse . ; When he had used that argjiment himself he bad been greeted with a derision which seemed to indicate an opinion in that quarter that nothing could be more foolish . Mr . Labouchere added a few words . Mr . C . BULLEit said tho duty would induca smuggling into Canada , and raise up enemies in the United States , where it was just now particularly important to conciliate public feeling . On the cause reguldting the import of foreign sugar into the calohies , ¦
Mr . Cobden asked how this was consistent with the exclusion of foreign sugar from the mother country , on pretence of its being slave-grown ? Mr . Gladstone answered , that it was no new privilege , tut was one which the colonies had always enjoyed . While negotktioris were ponding with foreign countries upon the sugar question , any minute alteration was obviously inexpedient . The remaining clauses were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .
Monday , April 18 . The first reading of the Income Tax Bill was moved by Sir R . Peel . This was opposed by Lord John Bussell ^ who rnoved . that it be read a first time this day six months . Sir R . PEEL , in his reply , stated that he proposed to make an altetatloh in favour of the Scotch faimer , whose proportion © f th ^ tax ia to be 2 ^ d . instead of 3 id . in the pound . ' Amongst the Membera on the Opposition side of the House who supported the Income Tax Bill , were Mr Kaikes pnrrif , who passed a glowing eulogiflHi on Sir Bobert Peeli and declared he would net view his measures through the " smoked glass" of faction . Mri Rice , who supported the Bill also , in the hope that a modification would be Introduced into it in favour of incomeB derived from professions .
