The late severe losses sustained by the shipping inletest of this kingdom, and the Immense field opened to Great Munn for an ex tended a nd increasing commerce, by the enlighten/4i policy of out Government, have caused a cerrespending.4ndextraordlnass riot in the price of ship-building. sSnclt, indeed, is now the 'demand for vesteis af all descriptions, 'ihat many persona, -desirous of employing their capital in shipping, cannot be supplied by .the builders with the tonnage they require, except at very high prices, or under .circumstances of delay, often' defeating the more immediate purpose of their speculations. It Is therefore proposed to establish' Company,fdt the purpose of building Vessels in British North America, on contract and for . sale, but it is intended for the present to coudne the operations of the Company to Canada only. . . . . Immediate sales will be theoblect of the Company, but the Him-- tors shall be empowered to employ their shipping until disposed of, and in case of need, to purchase wood cargoes for the purpose of loading their vessels. . .

'Theimphaytnent of a numerous and useful class of persons in the settlement ; and by a beneficial diffusion of capital and labour, an increase in the national importance of the Colony. 2. An ample remuneration to the Proprietors, who, independent of the local advantages which will attend their undertaking, may reasonably look to the favourable rates of exchange, and the freight in their ships consign ed to this country for sale, as sources of coo siderable and imme diate profit. It remains only to add, that it is intended to construct vessels adapted for all trades and purposes, under the particular inspection of the Company's Agents, by practised shipwrights, and with such doe attention to the selection and seasoning of the timber, as, it is hoped, will materially improve the character of vesseli built in Canada. The capital of the Company is £500,000, raised in 10,000 shares of £5O each, a portion of which will be reserved for persons in Canada desirous of becoming shareholders.

Prelate who had presented the Petitiop, for he bad always spoken of the Dissenters with a degree of fairness and candour highly creditable to him. Notwithstanding the evidence of a few Petitions, be (Lord C.) did not believe that the great body of the Dissenters were against con cessions to the Catholics. He also presented a Petition dom the inhabitauts of 1 ket-strest, against the Thames Quay Bill. Mr. BYNG presented a Petition from scveral Justices of the Peace of London and Middlesex, against the London and West minster Water Works Bill. Re ferred to the Committee on the said Bill. • • Lord HILL presented a Petition from Newry in favour of the Bristol Canal Bill.—Laid on the Table. ' • Lord STANLEY presented a Petition from Preston, praying for a repeal of the Window Tax.—Laid on the table. "The Noble Lord also presented a Petition from many of the Protestants of Rochdale, in favour of the Catholic Claims. Mr. Al A DER LEY postponed his motion for the Repeal of the Duty on Beer, which stood for this evening, to the sth May. The Petition having been read and laid on the table, The Bishop of CHESTER presented one against fresh concessions to the Catholics from the Pastor and Congregation of Jewry Chapel, Aldgate. He took this opportunity in his own name and that of his Rev. Brethren, to disclaim the compliment which Lad been paid them at the expense of their predecessors. He appealed to their Lordships whether it had been the habit of any of those predecessors to speak disrespectfully of Dissenters ? If there were an unusual How of cordiality on the part of the Prelates of the Established Church towards those who dissented from it, it was because they perceived in the latter symptoms of growing can dour, he would nut say att.rehment towards the Church. Hard must be his heart and that of his Rev. Brethren, if, under thote cir cumstances, they were not to relent, and to extend the right hand of fellowship to Dissenters. Lord CALL HORPEhaving explained, the Petition was laid on the table.—Similar Petitions were then pres•gued— By the Bishop of BATH and Watts, front the Parish of Hone burne, in the County or Hants; and limn the Archdeacon and Clergy of the DioEese of Rochester. By the ishop of Gurucesswa, front the Rural Dean and Deanery of Cirenstaster. By Earl DAETNOUTH, front the towns of Darleston and West Bromwich, in the County of Stafford. By Viscount DUDLEY and WARD front some place, the name of which could not be heard. By Lord Coliseums, from the Parish of Glenbury, in the County of Chester. Earl DARNLEY had been reading the Petition pre sented by a Right Rev. Prelate opposite, film the Arch deacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Rochester. He nut only approved of the temperate language in which it was worded, but he fully agreed with the prayer of it, for it prayed that their Lordships would make no other concessions to the Catholics than were necessary for the pre servation of the public peace, and in no degree hazardous to the (Soil and Religious Establishment of this Realm. That was aU that he required, and aU that was asked by the Catholics themselves. The Bishop of BATII and WELLS was glad that the Noble Earl agreed with the prlyer of that Petition, and had no doubt that if other Noble Lords had read the Petitions of the Clergy as attentively as that Noble. Earl bad done, they too would have agreed to their prayer. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a Petition against the Catholic Claims from the Inhabitants of the town and vicinity of Nottingham signed by upwards of 3,000 individuals. Lord KING read a placard which had been posted in the streets of Nottingham, in which the people were pressed on their duty to their King, their Country, and their GOD, to sign Petitions against those Papists, who worship gods a:.d goddesses, and now wished to de liver up the State into the hands of a foreign Head. It had been said by a Right Rev. Prelate a few days since, that ' Petitions had been got up without any means being taken of excit ing the people. Were placards like that *hick he had read no means of excitement? - • The Bishop of CHESTER had not, said what the Noble Lord attributed to him. • AU he had said. was, that no public meetings had been held on the subject, and that he had discouraged them, as h(did not conceive it proper that a question involving religious feeling should be discutseti at a public meeting. ..ord HOLLAND said that the motives or thtßight . . 11.i.v. Prelate did him honour ; but if it' were improver to discuss a goestion involving religious feeling at a public meeting, it was also impossible to collect public opinion with tott pUblic meetings. .• . . • 'The Petition was then laid on the table, together with a similar one from the borough of Daventry, olso presented by the Duke of NEWCASTLE. - Bid FITZWILLIAM ptemn . ted a Petitibn in favour of the Catholic Mimi from the inhabitants of • the city and barbugh of Peterborough.

THE FORGED PE rams. S'y JOHN NEWPORT took that opportunity' of adverting to the forged Petiti.:n, which he had been made the instrument of ptesenting to the House not long since. He held in his hand a written declaration, seat to him lions a person declaring that he ova: aware of the ge ting 'up of the Petition in question, of the per sons who weqe concerned in it, and sif every step wlfch. had been taken with regard to it, and that he was ready to certify on osth, that no Roman. Catholic w.is in the roost remote degree connected with tile atf.iir. Ile thought himself called upon to .s ate this, because much stress had been laid upon this Petition ; and it was therefore•most material that the H. should be early aware the true state of the case. Gre.t pains hAd been taken to cast the odium of the lagery on t'.e Catholics, and thereby prejudice zf•eil cause. It had been said, with reference to the forged Petition, that, 4 , that cause must be foul indeed which stled inn' eJ rf such support." These words now applied to the other side of the ques tion, for foul indeed must be that cause which could hrst fabricate an instrument of this kind, and then lay the blame of it on the ad verse party. Tlie whole business was now under the investigation of a Committee. To that . Committee he should deliver up this paper, and whomsoever the parties might turn nut to be, he trusted the .severe displeasure a the House would be visited upon them. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that if the M .n. Baronet thought that any one imputed the fabricated Petition to the Catholics, he concurred with him in the propriety of the mode he had taken to remove the impression.— If, howevelV, he had no grounds for such an opinion, he should think he had better have waited till the Com mittee had ended their inquiry. For his own part be begged distinctly to declare,, that it had never entered into his mind that the Catholics were concerned in the fabrication of the Petition. The coutse which the Hon. Baronet had taken, therefore, was qu.te unnecess .ry as far as be (Mr. Secretary Peel) was concerned. Hut he entirely concurred with him in a desire to see the persons implicated, whether Protestant or Catholic, brought to their well-merited punishment. Sir JOHN NEWPORT observed, that the imputa tion on the Catholics was contained in the Petition disclaiming the forged Petition.. .. ....

Viscount MELVILLE replied, that he did not-intend. to bring In any particular.measure on the subject, because it was the policy of this country to assimilate the laws of .ngland and Scotland, and a separate measure would only serve to create a fresh distinction.

He presented this Petition with great satisfac tion to their Lordships, not only because it shewed that Protestant Dissenters were alive to the interests of the Protestant cause, but because it shewed the existence of a spirit of candour and ingenuous ness amongst them which did not permit them to have recourse to artifice, but led them, whilst they felt compelled to differ front it, chiefly on points of discipline, to acknowledge the value of the Esta blished Church. Lord CALTHORPE reminded the Hight Rev.
