He raid:—Inhabitants of the free city of Glasgow, in the name of rs. Stone, and in my own name, I have to thank you for the warmth of your reception, but I eann7t find ‘words to do it. Is it true that all this affestionate interest is merited? (Great applause.) I cannot help feeling in regard to that book, “Idon’t ‘specks apy body ever wade that book, I "specks it groved. (Laugh- ter.) Under the pressure of a Lorrid Fugitive Slave law, the book sprung out of the soil, ready-made, I Cxevedingly regret that, in consequence ef the very feeble state of Mrs. Stowe’s health, and ia consequence of the great pressure of engagements upon myselt— engagements of a public nature, which caunot be pre- termiited on account of any private feelings—we are net able to respond to the many invitations we have re- ceived, in the way we could both wish. We are aot able to spare you the time which you desire. Had time permitted, aud onr own feelings been consulted, we should have gladly settled down among you, accepted your cengratulations, and spent with you the entire summer. (Applause.) But this cannot be ; the state of Mrs Stowe’s health is such that she cannot bear so much kindaess, and my own engagements are of such » character that I must be in many distant places, and by the lst of Juno I must be again hard at work in the United States. Seot- Jand bas ever been distinguished for her love of freedom. And though almost all the religious denominations in the United States, are, to a great ertent, silent regarding this aystem of oppression, yet there are two desomine. tions which have neyer been silent. Two denominations bave ever stood firm: for the old Scotch Seceders and the descendants of the old Scotch Covenanters baye never been silent on the subject of slavery. Never bave they been silent, even in the slayebolding States. (Cheers.) It is true that some of the Scotch seceders have fallen away into slavery notions, and gone with the current; but chey bave never done so while they belonged to the Scotch seeeding body. There are also some other bodies fee from slavery opinions, but they are not so bold as thore to whom I bave alluded. There sre of the class who are polite snd easy in their language, There is also one other denomination free from the taint of slavery—-the disciples of old Witliam Penn—for there is not a Quaker in the United States who owas a slave.— ‘There is nota Quaker who ean owe a slave without being ejected at once trom the Society of F ods. Atone time, Ong ago, many of the Quakers held slaves; but they were told that it was wrong, and they appointed committees to labor among all who owned @ slave. ‘They did not do- nounce the system at public meetings, but they passed vidual, and to labor with that individual, and the result was that in Jess than oty years they succeeded, — 1 do not know, indeed, that in less than ten years every Friend in the United States was not free from the curse of slavery. (Cheers.) And, had other denomina*ions pursued the sume course, there would not at this day be a slave in the United states—no, not one. (Cavers). Delieve that the passing of the Fagitive Slave low is the last desperate effort, and the dying struggle of the system. (Cheers.) But there are real diftcultiee connected with the slave question in those States in which stavery exists. All the sccial habits of the peogle are connected with the ‘and they don’t know what to do without slaves, they are +0 numerous, and where they have alway® been accustomed to them.

(Hear, hear) ‘There were also discovered a considerable umber of rockets in various stages of preparation, two thousand shells, mot as yet loaded, a very considerable quantity of that composition with which reekets are filled, and 600 lbs. of gunpowder. (Hear, hear.) These things were seized by the police, ‘hom they belong to, and who was employeé in making them, the House prob- ably will not expeet me, in the present stage of the mat. ter, to say anything about. (Hear, hear.) ‘These will be questions for future consideration, but the House, no doubt, will be of opinion that, the Secretary of Stato having been informed that there was reason to believe that euch an immense quantity of waritke stores was accumulated ina private dwelling, wan justified in these steps (sheers), for the: peenees of gettin, 3° sersion «f these arms, and founding upon their seizure any subsequent’ proeeedings which the law advisers of the government may think proper.

(Hear. hear. ) Mr. T. Duncomus —The statement of the noble lord is calculated not only to alarm this House, but the coan- try; and therefore I ask him whether he does not know that the house referred to has been a sort of manufaetory for roekets for the last six years? (Hear, hear.) After all, itis no dwelling house at alt where these rockets are made up, for | baye made inquiry as to the real state of the case, With respect to M.

(fleas, hear.) e place belongs to a certain geatleman of the name of Hule, who is another Captain War-. wer. (laughter.) Those individuals are two rivals in the same line; the only difference being that Mr. Hale is the more successful rival of the two. (Laughter.) Does the noble lord mean to say that he does not know that six years ago Mr. Hale took ont a patent for the manufacture of these rockets, and offered it over and over again to the government? Deninark, Prussia, ard different foreign powers have purchased rockets’ frem him under his patent ; he has been lately manufacturing a large quantity ; he has had orders from Cuba lately, and within the last few months he has offered to our gove-vment the whole of his present steck of these rockets, which they would no more accopt then tkose of Captain Warser.

By the Canada we had a brief notice, that came by tele- ph from Loudon to Liverpool, of the explanation in ‘ai liament respecting the seizure of wunitions of war said to belong to Kossuth. London papers by this arrival bring the debate in full. The Jimes, which first made the charge that Kossuth was implicated, has, on the 18th, an editorial in which is still intimates that he is at the bottom of the affair. In the same paper a denisl, published by Kossuth, through Captain Mayne Reid is dismissed in this contemptuous style:—"We have received another highly complimentary letter from Mr. Mayne Reid—we mean, of course, a whole sheet full of abuse, andso lopg as we continue what we are, and Mr. Mayne Reid continues what ho is, wo shall consider his abuse the greatest praise it is in his power to bestow. A feeling of regard for the English language in- duces us, however, to refrain from giving publicity to Mr. Mayne Reid’s ‘balderdarh, which we dare say may be read in another place.”” Captain Reid’s letter, a little | faulty in style, expresses much indignation. It is pub- lished in the London Daily News, of the 18th of April.

The reverend gentleman concluded a long starement re- | npecting ¢ and slavery, by expressing his conviction | that ‘there is soundness ‘im the American mind, which, | in due course, will be unmistakeably developed.” A hymn was then sung, after which, the 7imes report pays: he authoress of Uncle ‘Tom Tore, and bowing her ac- Knowledgments to the audience, was conducted from the | hall amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of respeet, | the company standing, and the ladies waving their hand- kerchiets?

In the House ef Lords, on the 18th, a moiion by the Fal of Winchelsea, for # committee to inquire into the system of education at the Roman Catholic College of | Maynooth, was negatived by a vote ot 110 to 53. | In the House of Commons the Chaneellor of the Ex- | ehequer brought forward his financial state speeck of nearly five hours?’ duration. ‘The first p related to the revennes and expenditures of the country. In April, 1852, he said the revenue of the year was es- timated ot £51,625,000, but at the year’s end the actual revenue execeded that estimate by the sum ot £1,454,000. in like manner the expenditure in April, 1852, was esti- wated at £61,163.000, but had only been £50,782.000; eaving, with the surplus revenue, an actual over- plus in hand of £2,406,000. But before considering amount available for the remission of taxes, it necessary to examine the estimated expenditure for the year jus amenced, which amounted t0 | £52, 188,000, 20 that three fifths of that overplus was at onee dicpored of by charges for liabilities, under act of Parliament, and votes for the defences of ihe country. | He next detailed the particulars of the revenue antici- pated for the year 185i-4, amounting to an aggregate income of £52,990,000, which would supply an apparent surplus of £807,000, although he would rather put it at t: and of thie sum about 9,000 consisted of y ‘rom fources not permanent or recurring. tera passing allusion to the shipping and West India interests, respecting which he said nothing very definite, | he adverted to the exchequer loan fund, which it is not, i 4 to ubolish, He next discussed the income tax. nitted the tax on its present footin, pressed unequally on classes ; end while freely desiring its adjustment, he confessed the greatest dilficulty in fiaming ary modification. He hoped, however, Howe would not falter or nibble at this measure, but | meet it boldly, broadly, as was becoming in dealing with one ot the nation’s most valuable financial resources—a resource which might be relied on in case of war, to sup, 300,000 troops aud a feet of 100,000 men; but whicn the cireum.tances attending rendered it impossible to retsin as @ portion of the per- manent fiseal system. What the government aimed at doing wae to imtroduce such present modifications as | would make a distinction between incomes arising from | property and thore arising from skill, at the same time | fo kegislating concerning it as to mark the taxas a tem- porary one, and lay the ground for Varhament, if it deemed fit, 10 ditpease with itata fature period. With this view government proposed to renew the tax for two | years, from April, 1553, atthe present rate of seven | pence per pound on all ileomes, for two years more, from April, 1855, at sixpence; and for three years more, from ‘April, 1857, at five penceso that the tax might expire in April, 1860. In addition to this, it is intended to make all incomes amounting to one hundred pounds pay the tax, at the rate of five pence; and all amount ing to one bundred and fifty pounds, at the rate of seven pence. The tax was alro to be extended to Ireland, Legacy duties were to be extended to all ns; the exemption in favor of real property done away with, It is farther proposed to increase the duty on spirits 1s. per gallon in Scouland, and 81. in Treland, with allowance for waste in bond. The proposed reiniesicn of taxes were—Repen! of the duty on soap, some reductions in the stamps, reduction of the advertisement duty to 6d., and repea! of the stamp duty on newspaper supplements; reduction of one third on hackney exrriazes, and reduce the taxes on servanta, private garriages, hor:es, and dogs. Several changes were to be made in the manner of collecting duties. It was further proposed to reduce the duties on tea from 2s, 2'4d. per Ib. to 1s. 104;¢,, till April, 1854; from that date till April, 1855, to Je, Od.; till April, 1856, ly. dd.; and afterwards Is. por tb. | It was likewise proposed to abolish all duties that were | unproductive, and those levied on certain manufactured | articles, wakirg 10 per cent the maximum rate re- tained On manufactured articles; to substitute, wher- ever ieable, rated for ad valorem duties; to sink the ntial duties between foreign and’ colonial articles, and to lower the duties on various articles of food.
