Every pound of crude sugar br cane juce retined in Canada, on the contrary, may be and ought to be brought from thie West Indies in Canadian bottoms. It we epntemplate, not the total extinction of the refging business here, but merely the subâ€" stitution of a certain quantity of New York relined gugar and syrup for Canadian, then just so|much treight from the West Indies does out shipping lose, The ghipping of the Lower Provigces, which parties proposing certain clhanges are so solici. tous abgut, would under their scheme have leas to do than before,for another reason which must be mentioned.~ If we carry crude sugar and cane juice from the West TIndies, to be refined here, then agreat deal of waste matter and is carsied, thus making additional freight, that would nut cevcarried if we brought refined smgar instead. Mr. Francis Reid of Liverpdol, an authority on the subject, says : " The 000 tons annually taken into the # reflneties would only produce, when refined, "225, tons of sugar, 69,000 tons of molas. " ses, and 15,009 tons of waste ;" which figures will give an idea of the diminution of freight to be cagrtied, and of consequent loss to the shippiog interest. Alrcady all the sugat we use is Weet India sugar, nb matter through what hands it passes. And it rests with those who would have the public Wlicve that we can in some mysterious way or bther increase our consumption of West Injlia sugar, to give us in detail the new mechanism and modus eperandiâ€"other than the one gimple cause, viz.* the increase in the number@nd in the purchasing power of ouf peopleâ€"iby which this is to be effected. , As: for the argum.ent that we ought to inâ€" crease the money volume of our trade with the The gupply ot refined sugar and syrup for the Maritiipe Provinces would probably come from Eggland, rather than from New York.

The complaint has been made of‘ late that we ars taring grocery guods too heavilyâ€" raising too large a proportion of the revenue on what are nesessaries of lits tor the poorest classes amongst us. (With regard to sugar, this brings up the questionâ€"not so much of how the duties on that article should be apportioned, as of how much revenus the Government must obtain from sugatr al, together, let the duties be apportioned as they may.) lt is for those making this complaint to recollect that a revenue muast be raised in some way or other ; and that, if we remit duties on dry goods and hardware, we must make the burden the heavier on groceries. From this dilemma thers is positively no escape ; short of resorting to still heavier stamp and excise duties, or to direct taxation, Ottawa, April 29, 1863. sn ut 1It,is said in effect, that if we would build up alarge export trade to the West Indics, we must humor the West Indians so to speak by purchasing their higherâ€"priced and most manufactured sugats, . But the Ameticans, who do a large trade with the West Indics, purchase mW of these higher priced sugars, but only tho lower or refining yrades. The Americans utterly refuse to give © the g.o.flu of refiaing" either to West Indians, t Indians, or to anybody but themselves, and yet they export largely to sugarâ€"producing countries, . And there is reason to believe that very shortly the American tariff will be alterâ€" ed in the direction of making it still, more favorable to the importation of low refining grades of sugam®ouly, and still more prohibiâ€" tory of the importation of any sugar either wholly or partly refined. The following shows the changes in the sugar duties in the late Province of Canvla during some years past : Oa Juge 27th, 1866, the system of elassified duties came into force, and has continued anâ€" til April 20th, 1863.< ©_ i acigoos..

He said that the resolves adopted by only one House of Parâ€" liament were without binding force on the Crown, but if a Bill was duly passed it would then be obligatory.

[ 132 : .. _ _ ‘The most potent and practical of all argu» ments in favor ‘of specific dutics om such articles as tea and sugarâ€"articles which, from their general consumption, by the people, can be made to contribute heavily to the revenue, is one oftener acted upon than acknowledged. A duty of a cent or two, or of a few cents per 1b., looks small, while the per centage on the value of thearticle which it amounts to migl:t look large to the public eye if stated in that way. To say that tea pays 35 per cent. duty on its value looks larger than to say that it pays 7 cents per lb, and 15 per cent. ad calorem, though the former is, by the figures for the official year ending June 30, 1867, just what the latter really amounts to when summed up. Similarly, one ceut per Ib. and 20 per cent. ad valorem on sugar dovs not look so lurge as the gross amount it comes to would look, if its proportion to the value were statedâ€"which would be about 45 per cent. It need not be wondrred at that specific duties shonld fiadt favor with statesmen sometime«, when it is considered how convenient they are for raising a large revenue on very small figures. It is of course possible, when the case of any partiâ€" cular article admits of a graduated specific scale, to combine this peculiar cony»nience with justice to purchasers of cheaper qualities. _ April 6th, 1855 : tarif? changed to 6s. 6 1. and 12} per cent. on raw ; refined 12s, and 12} per cent. 1 It thus appears that in former time the prinâ€" ciple was thought a sound one, that refined sugars should pay a much Aigher rate ot duty, according to their value, than raw sugars.

In 1854 ; raw sugar 64. per ewt, and 12} per cent. ad valorem. _ > # In the House of Commons Mr. D‘Isracti, in answering a question from the Opposition benches, said tho© Ministry wished for the failest discussion of the Irish Church quesâ€" tion. Mr. Gladstone boped that the debate would not delay the business of the Rouse, and in that light deplored the time wasted Iast night in party recrimination.

CABLIK® NKE WSB The existing Brifish and Coutincntal scale of sugar duties, though it may be scienâ€" titically correct, is commercially unjust. It has been in operation now jast twolve months, and already the British sugarâ€"rctising interest is ruived, ot rapidly beiag ruin‘d, to say the least, A business which had its birth in Britain is being transferred to foreign counâ€" trivs. Only two or three weeks ago, our wholesale grocers and theiradvocates in the press were praising the perfect fairness to all interests of this scale, and were recommendâ€" ing the adoption here of a system which should as nearly as possible resemble it in effect. Now, since the terrible truth of the ruin of £n important branch of British industry through its operation has been made known, not two lines of print can be got from them in allusion to it, What Mr. Gladstone said in 1864 has been appealed to : but all that even so high an authority as he is may have said then, is as nothing against actual experience in 1868, as to what the effects are of the system, lately so lauded as the true one, of leyying duty upon " the actual amount ot erystallizable saccharine mutter the sugar contains." { Eon en eR OS to increase in population ‘and other causes, the inevitable division of tunction between m:pr.i:rortcn and sugarâ€"refiners will graduâ€" ally obtain here, as it already has in countrics more advanced. establishments in the Dominion, and the aug. { mentation ln‘ volume o‘!_onr' general trade, due 4 YESTERDAY‘s DESPATCHES â€"â€">> 4 gme lJoxxs & HOLLANDy Newsdemier»s ulinontal | @P ginâ€"street, have received m second supp THE OFFAW AlDIME 8, ‘APRIL : A MEETICG of the creditors of the estate of the said insolvents will be heldâ€"at the office of Edward Taylor Dartnell, Esquire, in | the Court House, in the Town of L‘Orignal,at the ! hour of twelve o‘cloek, noon, on MONDAY, the | eighteenth day of MAY next, to receive the report : of the Assignee upon the debts dus to the estate of l the raid insolvent«, and to consider the propriety of obtaining an order of the Judge of the County Court i of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell for l the sale of same by Public Auction, as more bene: , ficial to the estate than the collection ot same I* | the otdinary way, and for ordering the afairs of | the estate generally. * _ Dated at L‘Urignal, this 25th day of April, 1868 ; EDWD.
