An account of tlie quantity of Su^ar 

 imported into Great Britain, by the 

 East India Company, from Madras 

 and Benp;al, from the 1st of January, 

 1791, to the 1st of January, 1S22, has 

 been. presented to Parliament this ses- 

 sion, and ordered to be printed (Paper 

 No. 70). The account states the quan- 

 tity itnported in each year, with tlie 

 prime cost and charg'es, and sale- 

 amount, by which the profit or loss in 

 each year is also shown ; but, as the 

 detail possesses no peculiar interest, 

 we subjoin the following abstract, viz. 



Total quantity imported 1,579,908 cwt. 



The prime cost of which ^1,987,723 



Freif;ht and demurrage 2,399,084 



Custom duty 46,547 



Convoy, &c. 23,658 



Incidental charges 203,631 



Total cost and charges ••4,660,643 

 Sale amount 4,072,668 



Loss 587,795 



The quantity imported averages about 

 51,000 cwt. annually, but in 1815 there 

 was none, and in the years 1791 and 2, 

 1811 and 14, the quantity did not exceed 

 lO.OOOcwt. in those four years. The largest 

 importation was in 1795, when the quan- 

 tity amounted to 155,682 cwt.; and in 

 1798, to 138,864 cwt. In the years 1791, 

 2, 3, and 6, to 9, and 1313 and 14, it yield- 

 ed a profit to the amount of 240,255/. 

 leaving a loss on the quantity imported in 

 the remaining years, to the amount of 

 828,230/.t 



• The amount of duty, at the rates 

 stated, will be seen not to agree with the 

 quantity imported ; the reason is, that on 

 importation tallow and hemp are allowed 

 to be bonded, the duty not being paid till 

 actually required for consumption. The 

 quantity of tallow on which duty has been 

 paid will be seen to be nearly equal to the 

 importation, but the quantity of hemp 

 about one-sixth less. 



t We are not aware of the object for 

 which this statement was laid before Par- 

 liament; if it were intended to serve the 

 party who are now contending for the ad- 

 mission of East India sugar on equal terms 

 with that from the West Indies, the state- 

 ment is fallacious ; because, although an 

 aggregate loss is stated, the sale-amount 

 averages 51s. per cwt. — a great price; and 

 the loss IS made to appear in consequence 

 of the exorbitant rate charged for freight, 

 which exceeds 30s. per cwt., exceeding by
