- hadefitratt . Id Ilea Sasiollese(Helir !) The propseitten ey - t h e Wm. airdVallant General was Undoubtedly esernewbat . strange,- ooltsidering the ruinous and distressing state .of the shipping vim,. gawky. It appeered by the accounts, as was stated, that the number of registered 'each and seamen had - diminisfiesla but a very sellicient explanation was annexed to the foot of tfie account melt, which would have satisfied the Hon. Members if they had given a little more attention to the subject. Front the nature or such registration, a real Increase was perfectly consistent with an apparent decrease.' On the real question, the Hues! bad last year come to a decision, and nothing whateverexisted which deputd induce them to come to a conclusion that there was•any just cause I of alarm to those interested in navigation. Since the 26th of Geo. 111. anothia. Registration Act had been passed, and vessels were now registered under the 6th of Gen. IV. which in no respect failed of Its intended object. The Right Hon. Gentleman here complimented the Officer at the head of the department on the manner in which he had discharged his duty. He was certain that no person would censure that d.partment, and if not, then no cen sure could attach itself to his Right Hon. Ft tend. It should he re membered that the ethane' , ilia had not been discovered•by the sagacity of any individual in that House. but had appeared in enn aquence_of the Act of his Right Hon. Friend himself. '1 he annual registration was fallacious front its very nature, and was nut to be depended an. It cues now in contemplation to require an accurate re gistradon at the end of every three years, and thus to have a triennial obituary of British shipping. With respect to the speech of the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool on the last occasion, be could confi dently affirm that he had made no allusion va :be Ittlltfaer ef regis tered vessels but his argu ment entirel y rested on the real e mploy. meat of navigation interest. The number aegistered was, .as he bad already stated, utterly fallacious in gtsWing•thens to a conclu sion. fir two•thirds of the number might Imgptit.a. he lying idle hapset. This, therefore, furnished nu 0122911.9(,,auvrttipitli the amount of active operation. which only covid 00 3 4 a lateira. of the body. The Hon. Member we , mistaken in one part of his statement, as the tonnage of the ships entered from foreign ports its 1823 was 2,143 000; in 1926 it was 1.950,9Q0,i a$ in 1827 it proved to be 2086.000. It appeared that be was netenmi because the Imports and exports had diminished. boa on account of the business having been performed by a small numiiir of hands, or hi other words, without any supereisous aslistatirkeei(lringhter). The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to 'beet the number of Seamen employed in the trade of the United Kingdom with all parts of the world, and referred to the following statement- G reat Britain.

The Right Hon. Gentians* conehoded by stating, that the more the subject which was now under discussion was investigated, the more "souk' the result show that the shipping interest or Greet Britain was far from being in that state which the Honourable and Gallant General who bad brought forward the present motion had d e actibed--(Cheers). Mr..HUAKISSON mid, at this la•chour o the night be would not trespass long upon the a n of the. f House. In preceding Sessions of Parliament be bad already stated at large his views and principles In reference to this important question; and it would he quite impossible for him to add any thing to the lucid and convincing statement of facts which his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Grant) had laid before the House intim this now almost exhausted subject. The Honourable Member- for Dover had expressed hi, indignant feelings at the t reatment which he (Mr. I hiskisson) hid receiSed from certain parties. He could assur e the llonrse th 3 t such meet had in no degree disturbed the tran quillity of his ( Mr. Hiseitisenti's) feelings, and If they paid b to ut i€2oo the writer of the scurrilous pamphlet alluded to. he would only soy they had measured their liberality by the•low rates of freights- 1 (A laugh). lie would own that he had 'liven rather startled by the first statement of the Gallant General. The Gallant General cons. menced by stating, that be was about to discuss—what? all, abstract naval question with a Collateral view to commerce — (Laud laughter). He must acknowledge that his Gallant Friend had well per fo rmed his words-.-if by " abstract" he had meant a view of the suhj.-ct, leaving our all the facts of the ease—and be treated the collateral part:of the question with quite or little reserve (Laughter). The Gallant Gener al bad argued upon what he.seemed in consider an apparent deficiency ur falling off in the tonnage Hof the country, and in the number of seamen ; and his propqsB. I din was, that neat Sestion they shoul d in q uire into a subject %Odd' • had been already fully and satisfactorily explained. .In the luxe 11823,1 w ( )Ir. Hasidism) felt it his duty to consolidate all the. corm plicated and various dcts relating to shipping, and by one provisiou then made. it was ordered that all ships on coning into port should be registered upon the oath of the Captain. The old !registry Act, the 46th of the late King, elki not provide (or the ships which might be lost at sea, or nthev*lse destroyed—their registries sti r ffrin;aiiied; but when he came to remodel the registries in the year 'lll2/41eseas plain that those ship. which were no longer in existence 'could not be registered de neat—(llear). Therefore all the shipping Which had been lost or uestroyed from the year 1774 to 1827 were omitted in the new registry list. Thereupon the Gallant General calls upon him to account for the app arent diminution in !hipping between 1826 and 180. Why, the same thing would have happened if the remodelling of the Registry Act had taken place in 1814, or in slay' ether year--(hear). Bet his Gallant Friend inquired, what had became of the seamen? In reply to this question he would state, that about a century and a halt ago this House granted a land-tax to the , Crown, and ta Commis toner s were appointed by K in g Wi.lion is every county for its collection. These Collectors were appointed only for the year • and it appeared that each year the County Mem. hers returned to Government the names of a number of Gentlemen .qualified to fill the office. From the period of Kiug William to the present time, this law had cuntinued unchanged, when at this I moment a Ilia for that purpose was pas.tag through the House ; and it was found necessary to append to that Bill all the names of all the Commissioners who had been appointed, and of all the per sons who had been recommended b the several County Members from the time of King William y to the present. The Bill in that state had been • already read a third time--it was a mass of such magnitude, that the mbar Bills on the table would appear but as mere shreds before it ; and, indeed, be should not be the perms to move that it should. be carried to the Lords by any one Member of that House—(A iaegh). Now if any one proposed to take out of that the :tames of all those persons who were unquestionably dead—such as those appointed in the reigns of King William, Oaten Anne,•King George I. and 111.—his Honourable and Gallant Friend ,would probably stare at the diminished bill , and ask " What had become of all the C o mmissioners -a-(Laughter). its Gallatin Friend had admitted, that there was an increase In trade, but be complained that the ezp*use in the men and 'hippie', by which the trade was carried on, bad decreased. What then was the manifest object of his inquiry? That the shipping should be employed at higher rates, —that the country should be put to greater espies', and that thus all tompetition with foreign countries should be prevented --(Heir, bear). •His Gallant Friend had complained that by the aid of steatn.packete, vessels were enabled often a fortnight smarms to get to sea, and that British vessels often made two voyages in one season to the Baltic. His Gallant Friend ought at once to pass a law to put don steam-packete. and to pre vent vessels male: more than on es oyage in the year to the Bei de...o laugh). There was an agent in London at present for all the shipping belongingio the north-east coast of Englisiti. That Gentleman was Mr. Richmond, nue who had closely attended the interests which it was his duty to watch over ; and in a letter which be (Mr. Hiekisson) bad received from that Gentleman this waning. seemed the following sentence ; " It is not from want of eniployment that we cauplain,we have more of that than ever there was . Owing to the coosainsptioe of oar treble and wealthy country, 'I am Convinced that the importations of the year 1827 have ex ceeded *osier( the far-famed year 182.5"—(Hear). This showed that the 'hipping interests were in no want of employment. He, would admit that the shipping interests, as well as the other in terests of this country, had latterly made hut small progress to prosperity. bet that was owing to general causes, which all must &delft, while obey deplored their existence. The shipping in terests cooglabed, on the one hand, and so did the farmers and manufactainws as the- other. It. had been over and over again asked, whether, under the present system, Biltish"-shipping Mehl stand a fair competition with the strips of other nations?— He would answer that ip.estion by a mein whisk had been into his heeds by true of-the Members for the City 1$ London (Mr. Alderman Thessipsoo). The ports of Brazil were free ports ;* tied it appeared that the trade of *Skil, between Brasil and Iforope, owing to the want of shipping in Brazil, must be carried an either by European ships, or by those of the United States.... Vat article of Brazilian prestigee was sugar. It could not be brought to England dm as.ount of the high prohibitory duties.--. • great portion of it was exported to, Trieste, and the other on to Hamburgh. Twenty.eleht vessels sailed from Bahia sethe last year Tadenwhh sugar to Trieste ; and of these four were 'Assyrian (belonging to the country to which Trieste is attached); two were Swedes; cue Ratites ; in all seven ; end the remaining twenty-we were linglish—(Hear, hear, hear). Fong-eight ships tailed to Hamburgh from sahia during the last year, of these lO belonged to Hamburgh, two were Germans, one Dutchman, one Swede, one Russian, and 23 of them were finglish.--( Loud cries of ' 6 Hear.") Thus out of 75 vessels which carried on tie trade of the Snails with Europe, about 50 were Raglish—(Hear). While be bad been absent from the House, he bad beard that his Right Hoe. Friend, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, bad declared, that his own mind, end that of his Right Hon. colleague, the Pre sident of that Board, who was not at present in the House, were. "blank upon this subject. He did not think, however, that they were persons likely to adopt any change in the several: policy and prin. eiple of the commerce of this country, which had been Introduced within the last eight' years by his (her. Husitissoe's) two Noble Mends, now in the other House, mid himself. fie was stare that his Right Honourable Friend the Vice-President of the Board of Trade was animated by such liberal teeliogs, that when be came to examine into the present einem, be would caste to the deter mination of maintaining and supporting it. That treetrekad the approvals:if the present Secretary of the Home Department. It had the approval of every Member of Lord Liverpool's govern ment, and it was entirely approved Y 1 by Lord Liverpool himself. -(Hear, bear). He was &truism's that it should go forth to foreign nations that this country would not retrograde from that system — (Hear, hear). And be was sure that his Right Honourable -Fliend did not intend to mean, by the eapreseion which bad tidiest from him, that any change was contemplated io that system. All be would ask was, let the system get fair play. If the blessings of peace could be itertinuell, he was sure that, under that sys tem, commerce, and all the interests conuected with commerce, "timid flourish and improve. A charge bad been made elsewhere by one who, because he had been a diplomatist, assumed the wis dom of a statesman, against this country for recognising the inde pendence of the South American States-{Chem). It was a tardy wisdom which came in whh its advice when furtunately it was impossible to prevent the establishment of the independence of these great and extensive countries. These States bad unfortunately , occupied the relationi of belligerents with one another..and some; irifractions of the laws of nations bad bees committed. But hail sock infractions never beers courineteed by this and other civiliagd countries in a state of war ? Why, 014 Spain herself bad sinned fifty times as much in that way as the countnea that had been treed horn her yoke. There had not been one case of in e golarity constrained by those belligerents ea itritish commerce which Sad not beep made the subject of R.:manumit'. These Suites,when they b e came inure settled and tranquil, he was convinced would add increased wealth to the commerce of this country, and would be in every way productive of the greatest' &diastases to England. The Right Hun. Gentleman concluded by expertise; a hope that the present commercial sytens worthl get fairiplay ant a fair trial, and be would stoke his character and hiasepetatimi en Its success.

He could sincerely say, on the part of those blembers of the Administration and of him• self, that there never was the slightest disposition to abandon those principles--( Hear). Time was only, wanting to show how (Icel. dedly and unegivocally they would be followed up—(Hear.) Sir M. W. Il l DLF.Y said, that though he stood there as a friend to the shipping interest, still he should feel it to be his du ty, if his Gallant Friend premed his mo tion to a division, to vow against it. Grated G ASCOY NE said a very few words in reply. The gallery was then cleared; but during our absence the motion was negatived without a division.
