i the prater thereof j v buckle chairman resolred unanimously that the thanks of this meeting be given to the chairman not only for his conduct on the present occasion but for his constant attention to the interests of the ship owners s cock secretary a general meeting of the ship own ers of london was on tuesday held at the city of london tavern at which j w buckle esq was called to the chair which having taken he read the advertisement for calling the meeting he then went iuto a statement of the ob ject which the committee of the ship owners society had in calling the mem bers together it was stated he obser ved in a conversation which took place in the house of commons a few evenings fcack on a petition which was presented from some meichants of london that many alterations might be made in the navigation laws which would be pro ductive of very considerable benefits to the country at large as those altera tions whatever they were were not de fined the resolutions and petition which would be presented to the meeting did not refer to them nor did he go into de tail respecting them they were only alluded to in a general way oue thing however had occurred on that evening vhich called for the particular attention of the meeting it was slated by the president of the board of trade that the government zeerc not unfavourable to a remission of some of the duties imposed on timber from the north of europe this he thought was a most important owners as their interests were likely to be most materially affected by it it was not necessary tor him to go into any his tory of this duty in support of the reso lutions but he thought the present was a good opportunity for presenting to the meeting a short detail of the great in crease of the timber trade and of the shipping employed in it within a very few years he proceeded to contend that by the removal of the restrictions on the timber trade with the northern parts of europe a most serious injury would be done to this country generally to our own north american colonies aud to the shipowners in particular it would be hopeless to imagine that we should get the custom of the baltic pow ers by opening our ports to them they could nut afford to deal nith us ou this subject he would mention a fact which fs not perhaps known or if known not taken fully into considera tion there was at the present moment in the customhouse an order from the treasury remitting the tonnage dutiev en all ships clearing out xcith any cargo however small for sweden or finland this was an indulgence not allowed with respect to those vessels trading to the co lonies and the reason assigned for re mitting the duties was that those coun tries were too poor to take our produce but if tlris were the fact and he did not deny it why should this country give up the trade with her own colonies in or der to open it with those who could not deal with us in return why should we thus how from ourselves the rum trade from which we already derive so great a benefit it was not now the in tention of the committee to refer to any alteration in the navigation laws it would be time enough when they under stood what the nature of the intended al terations were he did not however nean to say that no alterations should ever be rnadein them for the time might come and circumstances might be so altered as to call for some alteration but though the shipping interest would never oppose any alteration which might conduce to the public good they could not be satisfied with any alteration which would injure themselves mr clay proposed the first piesolu- tidu on the resololion being put from the chair mr baring thanked the committee for the opportunity they had given him of attending for as a shipowner he had little claim to interfere lie con ceived that the shipping interest must be looked upon as most important by every one who valued the independence of the country in a commercial point of view he thought therefore no other interest ought to be looked upon as opposed to them aud he trusted that merchants and shipowners would be considered as one great family each having astrongin- terest in the prosperity of the other he was glad to see so numerous and res pectable a body looking with a jealous eye on measures which might affect their great interests but he was sure the pre sent meeting were too respectable to think that because the merchants or the agriculturalists had petitioned they the shipowners were intended to be injured he hoped they would look up on themselves as not separated in interest from those other classes but that where they could assist each other they would if the shipowners were in danger of be- iog injured he considered that the other telasscb would n6t do their duty if they did not support them if the question before the meeting referred solely to this timber trade he should not have fell it necessary to offer any observations but he hoped as referring to the petition vhich he had recently presented to the l1 lo siv a few words as to the probable result of that petition first he should observe that the petition was not of his drawing up he had never seen it un til it was put into hil hands to be pre sented undoubtedly it was very ably drawn up it laid down some princi ples on which it was said ourtrade should he regulated but he would admit that mauy of those were too general in their nature and therefore it was natural that hey should be looked upon with a jeal ous eye they were ratherof too sweep ing a character and might perhaps ap ply better to a new country than to one which had a on experience of previous regulations lie- thought therefore that it should net b considered without con sulting other interests besides those of the petitioners and he would never sup port it if he zzas satisfied that such sup port would injure the shipowners he then proceeded to argue that the altera tions which he had suggested as to the last india trade and the transit system would instead of injuring benefit the shipping tn teres l the exclusion of the baltic timber was he thought injurious inasmuch as it had made it many ene mies though he would not deny that the countries on the baltit tserc too poor tr be good customers to us in looking at the question in parliament he should be always ready to attend to any informa tion which the committee of the society of shipowners might be pleased to com municate the chairman observed that the r 500 why only one third of the amount of shipping which were engaged in trie ame rican trade could find employment in that of the baltic was that they go more frequently to the latter place they mightgo four times in the year to prus sia two to the baltic by w bkh is meant revel port baltic and the higher ptfks uuti i eo
