The world are well acquainted with the injurious effects of the ware of the vast quantities of sesenie and other de. leterioen substitte's from the copper smelling furnaces in the neighbourhood of Semmes, Cilomorgausimee.

RESPECTING NORTH AMERICAN AND COLONIAL TRADE. [Printed by order of the Horse of Csamoss, May W, 1832.] A Petition of the theresundersigned ship-owners mail others. of South Shields, interested en British shipping, was presented, and read ; setting forth, that the g I depresswo of the shipping of the rnaatry traders the Pe deem rs extremely anxious on the measures which are before the House, ■ud which so materially bear upon the ',hipping interests of the country; that, while they have recently had under their consideration the Bills pending before the dome fur altering the ancient navigation laws, their attention is again drawn to the consideraton of oilier Bills which are brought before the House, for en extrusion of the warehousing system for cargoes brought into this country in foreign bottoms, and likewise for an al. treat ion of the ancient navigation and colonial policy (which have been so long and so successfully polluted between Great Britain mud the IVest lodes Hands), by which pending Bilis fonetrei *hipping are 10.111 , to be allowed a direct iuter- Course with the [Selfish Colonies ill the W es t i n di ca , and like wise a proposed estension for Hellish shipping to trade (seem dee Colonies to Europe; that the Petitioners ate under the necemeity of appealing to the House against steel, sweeping c o ncessions, winch tend to the metier altrogeo ion of the old sys tem of colonial law•, thereby drpricl/OC tier British ship-owner of that part of tier colonial tea& wheel, he has hitherto, under the wise and provident legislation of our ancestors, enjoyed; If the pending Bills pass, they will upon doe col I caroling trade to Americas sitippiar, at a juucture when the British shipping and seamen arc unidde to eider i utu mope. titan with receive shipping, from the pressure of laxative and ether i x• pewees, to whirl, the exigences of the Mate, sod the restric tions they are under of porelisiog every kind of stores in England, subjects them lee, even ou many of the articles re. quiade fur refitment is a foreign port, stitch have been rendered necessary by misfortune; that, should the proposed Bills peas into law, the nunehe•r of British ship( whirl, are at present engaged in the Meat India trade mast of sue malty be cleanly diettinished ; and, cunsitiming the effect of the proposed Americas I utereonrie Bill, is coujoartiou with the either relaxations toed ahrogations of the Navigation Laws, which are so well rale ulated to suit the American and ether furrier shipping, the Petitioners are firmly of opi• Mon Ant they will lieronw the carriers of the world in preference to the British ships sod British seamen ; and the Vendome' are fully mmible of the frandolent prac tices such emoressions arc calculated to inorndeee in smug dale to ■ad from the Crolooies, end facility with whirl, foreigners provide themselves with similated papers of the origin of goods, sad likewise of the dertiustios of ships and cargoes to or from any part of world, as betel suit their views ; avid that the pending Bills are calculated to lead to an increase of seek practices, should they receive sie mew -1 Hon at the Lconlaturet that the otadone of the Lestaistore ref t►a country has foe centuries given oxioettweekeutetsl to British ship sad seanneo, and literate, ponied fur the two tertiott of the casette', and secured the freight and Imo. mission of the goods from VI/1011111 parts of lbe world, and more particularly from our own Colimits, in British ships manned with native women ; sod under these vim enact. meats the maritime strength of the country was always rearene in every clime a hardy race of seamen, able and wil ling fur the service sod protection of the Seale; how they have performed that service the naval history of the coentry mefficiattly confirm., in relating the bloody wars with the Dutch for the maritime meceudsitcy, and the late treenen ditlis struggle with all the combined Powers of Europe, in which the professed object wax to wrest this ssceadsocy out of our hands, and thereby destroy the great bulwark of owe safety aad our wealt►, which the navigation principles adopted and consolidated in the statute of 12th of Charles the Second, have been the means of establishing ; the value and importance of those priuciples have been so self-evident, that the Petitioners never contemplated that any change would be suggested more titan to simplify the law, by !c -omfier, those statutes which had become obsolete : they listed that the effects of those laws had satisfied every Englishman of their utility, sod convinced them that they were the foundation on which rested one protection, the source of our greatness„ the serest pee riots of our power, and t►e best bulwark of the British empire; that the Petitioners are totally at • loss to account fur the strange revolutionary principles is the commercial intercourse of the constry euntaheed b the Bills which are pending before the Hauge, which will efect • radical :hinge in our nevi notion and colonial policy, end the old laws, which have been acknowledged or deserving of particular veneration fur their onei its and wisdom; the Petitioners find is Usp pending Bills principles diametrically opposite, and they cannot disguise their matirseutr, bat candidly state, that there appears • deliberate intention to di part from the old princi ple, mid to adopt in lieu an storied t►eory against both pro fessional opinion, and that of practical results ; the old sy►- tem has brought us to the high pre.endomite is •Lich Great Britain now glands; it is true the modern econo mists deny that any restriction's see necessary even to em. ploying native shipping if the foreign shipping can be pro ctored on lower terms; the House must be fully aware that the rise and progress of this nation to greatness is to be dated from the provident determionlion to carry our commerce on with native ships; the easement of those laws made our eoweraeree and marine to grow up together, and this principle of wholesome restraint has c•u•ed them to rise mad to Sourish, which they have dune alternately, as cause ■ud effect, accelerating each eater's progress; our ancestors watched this rise and progress with the greatest care and attention, ever jealoma and forward to check any precipitate, wanton, or apparently systematic infringe. meet of their favourite system ; that the Petitioners sat ex pressing these sentiments, •re only following the opinions that have b•ew advocated by sonic of the wisest men the country has produced, sorb as Lords Clarendon, Bacon, Looghborough, Sheffield, Liverpool, Sir Walter Raleigh, Child, Temple, and oilers, too numerous to detail, and beg to subunit to the House, that the high pitch of wealth and ?Aver the country bas üblained since the enactment of those laws, has caused them to be cot.si dered as objects of attachment and veneration by every British subject; sod they humbly solicit, that the wisdom of the Hoare will deliberately weigh and consider the great be. nefit derived from their, and not suffer aspic'''. with no other foundation thew • speculative them y, to preponderate against so much positive good; that the Petitiouers beg leave to state to the House, that the sidp.ovruere are labouring seder the greatest depression, that they are fast sinking their ca pitals, that their ships yield them no return adequate to pay the expenses, that any more foreign competition must accelerate their ruin, that they are no more able to compete with foremasts in the sailing expenses of their 'hips the• the agricultural i•teresls are able to compete with them is growing corn or any other production of the laud; the House must be sensible of the danger of tampering with suck an important system for the pairpum s of a smell ad ditional (if any) speculative commerce and Increase of foreign shipping, which moat force the Br' ' h to decline in the same proportion; the British ship-owner will cease to em hal k his capital in a pursuit that must prove ruinoas to him, the effect of which most be the reduction of sloe number of British ships and British seamen ; this will lose the toiletry her natural defence, and the freight on the imports soil ex ports thos will be lust, that which the petitioners had been taught to venerate as the palladium of British security; they therefore treat, Hest the Idolise will leggin those saws es the source of oar greatness, the surest presrrvaliini of our power, aid the beat bulwark of the empire; they therefore hum bly pray, That no alteration may be mole is the cilouisl carrying trade ay two established by law, detrimental to British shipping. • ' MARKETS.

Thortgh tl►e !rudest slumber of peace has rested for atone lift►e over opts portentous name, we cannot still hear even " the fury of hrigioris war blow her horn upon the mountains" (borrowing the lofty language of Mr. Burke for the occasion). to *um moo one of the humblest of the inighly lineage to the ignoble war of words, without emotions of interest. The Defendant, an 'adieu, is really said to be of the same common stock with the great Napoleon, and not a very distant cousin. We can almost fancy indeed that we see the very spirit of Lodi, in the gallant flourish of candlesticks. and other kitchen missiles, wielded by the Drfeudasit, iii vindication of that sex, for whose honour the " true knight" has ever gloried to combat. The Plaintiff claimed damages for an alleged 'sulit anal battery, committed upon hiss Wale titne diner, at the grocery ►tore of a Mr. Archibald, its Mid bet iry-st rut. The Plaintiff came into the house in the after noon, where the Drfroulatat and Mrs. Archibald and her child then stew ; and brought no his hand an titiihrells, ivied' lie had borrowed that morn ing of Mr. Archibald, and which he threw from hint in such * manner as to bit Mr'. -Arehibrild, slid her child, and cause them both to cry.— On Archibald's examination, however, as a witness. she said she did not think Finn meant to hit her, or the child ; and still more siratige, could not tell why ►he or the child cried.— The setts?, however, woos too much for the chivalry of a Bonaparte to wittier., and lie interfered at oiler, by telling the Plaintiff that his conduct was very improver, in using a woman as he had used Mrs. A schibald, in the absence of her husband. A warm and long nltercation ensued, and Finn finally took it upon him to order Bonaparte out of the honer. Tam this, Mr. Archuhald, who had himself by this time come home, olti.-cted, and said Bona parte had done nothing wrong, and that the house wits his, rod not Finn's, to take care of; Finn, how. ever, persisted, and threathened to put Bonaparte out ; a fracas then followed, in which each charged the other to be the aggressor ; but in which it was clearly proved that Bonaparte gave Finn a blow over the head with a candlestick, so vio. lent as to break through his list down to his head ; tual Bonaparte contended that Finn struck him in the mouth first. F . brought the present uction for damages. The defence set up by Botiupa►te was, that he committed the assault and battery in self-defence, on account of the Plaintiff's under. taking to pot him out of the house. The Jury re ' tired about half an hour, and returned with a ver• diet for the Plaintiff of six emu dwarves. DEATHS.
