Lord Jobo Russell has indicated his policy with respect to the sugar duties, not only in the notice which he has given of an amsad:necit apon the pro- posed plan of the Govermest, but also (according to the published report), at the meeting of bit sup- porters held at Chesham place, on Saturday last. The noble lord proposes at once to equalise the duty on all foreign sugars, to the rate intended by the Government to be plased on foreign free labour, In take effect immediately, and, farther, to provide for the extinction, by equal annual instalments, of the differential duty in fire years. According to this plan the dutieswould be as follows: Colonial rugar.
