NIINtrgES of EVIDENCE relative to the TIMBER TRADE, taheo before the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of LORDS, apliointed to inquire into the Means of extend ing and securing.the FOREIGN TRADE of the COUN TRY, and to Report to the House. (Continued from our Paper ofeyesterday4 JOHN HENRY PELLY, Esq. is then called in, and examined as folfoi'vs Whist Bu s iness have you been principally engaged 'in ? I was originally in 'the sea Line; I coininandeda ship in the Est I. di.s tomp4ny's Service ; .since that time I have been engaged in an Iron Concern, and subsequently in a Mer cantile House in the Norway Line; a House of Agency chien. - . , HOW inns hare yonbeen concerned in the . ;Cprwiifrrade ?- , Abynt four yrn7s and a half. Have yon observed any fluetnntion during that period in dm Trade bet ween, Norway and this Cowitry ?-17e , y e'or6ider able ; it has been dimini.hing, and. at present there is little ,or nothing doing; it is afinn:t in a state of stagnation. . . _ To .what do yin attrilinte that diminution hiring taken place ?--.The pressure' of 'the D.ity upon that particular line, the Duties bring the voile upon Deals of eight feet in length and eight inches wide, as upon. twenty feet and eleven inches title and Norway not bring enabled - to produ6e very long lengths or wide Dealt, the Duty lies particularly heat); - upon them. Have the Norwegians any other mode of payinz for BO fish mkinnfactures, than by the Export of their 'limber ? Your. You are of opinion, then, that no consumption of British Manufactures can tahe'place in Norway, while the Duties arc such as to im;ede the Importation of Timber front that Coon ,r) ?—Certainly nut ; I can State more particularly the effect of the Duty on the Norway Trade; the Nor (vay Deals gene rally run short, not exceedine- on an average thirteen feet ill length, their width from'nioe to ten inches; ninny of ;be other Northern Countries can inipint them twenty feet in length and eleven iaches• wide, 'alder the saute Duty ; of eoUrse the Duty is nearly double upon the same quantity of Wood from Norway, that which it is frOin thiisetnunt ries that produce the long Deists; but it is more particulen ly with respect to the tritOe from Canada being admiped Duty free, that the pressure is felftipon theNorwegianitoOds, inasmuch as I conceive. Deals of an ecytal quality, or I would say of a better quality, could he fairly imported into this Country at the standarl twelve feet three inches for 161. per hundred; the Deals front Canada nearest in quality are now salting per haps at six and twenty; the difference of freight between the two Countries cannot be considered as above bl. per hun dred; therefore the Duty of 211. 10s. ad. is not only a pro tecting Duty to the British Ship-oWner, which 81. would af ford, but it will have the affect of a prohibition from Norway:- This same quality of Canada Deals was selling last year at perhaps thirty-two or thirty , four, and is only reduced now in consequence of, immense Importation beyond consumption ; hot if the Northern Ports were altogether prevented front im porting by a prohibitory Duty, there is no reason why the Canadian Merchant should out false his price beyond the pre .sent-pt'ice : of , twenty- , ix upon the consumer; the Duty of 2tl per hundred giving hint tact a riroooply,. During the time you have been coot-el - Sant with the Trade, has the Norwegian Timber been principa'llY imported in ves sels or Norwegian built ?—Gcnerally speaking in-Nor wegian :ships, but, in peace I think this` would 'not he the 'case; the Norwegian ships are wearing out fast ; and I feel -sure, that the British shipping. open the presumption that. they,get a fitight which pays't hem from Canada, can sail as cbeapof , not cheaper, than the Norwegian ships, and the. Norwegians are almost invariably s.dling their ships - . I had a Commission last year to srll twelve or fourteen Norwegian ships ; if I could hate ttrixted . a sale for thein, they woold very readily have taken at the tate of 51. a ton, which was very little more than bleat:jog up price, but it was not to be obtained. Do you attribute that circumstance particularlyto the distress," of the country, or to. an opinion that Norway freight is dearer than British ?—1 have stated that the freight is nearly upon. a par at present, there is no great difference in the freight ; the Norway freight is very much regulated at present be what' the British ships will go for, and they do not find it answer_;; so much so, that the principal part of the.ship owners are dis posing of their . ships. Haveithe ships that have imported Tit - o)er from Norway generally returned in ballast, or carried back a•cargo?—A' great many of them in ballast ; the article imported being bulky and of small value ; so that although they take out a certain quantity of goods, yet they are goods occupying a_ small tonnage ; in fact, the returns in many instances are.so. small for their cargoes, that it is a mere trifle sometimes that tin:y have to their credit on the consignment ; es far as their freight is concerned, they invariably 'spend half of it in this Cituntry. The terms upon which the ships are freighted,'are to pay half down money', and the other half in a bill at four months, and the Captain invariably takes up that half freight, and it is expended in this Country for different ex verces before he goes ; .and in many instances, the whole of the half !reight hardly ever satisfies (hem ; but-the exports are nut immediately from ibis :Port, or altogether threugh our House of Agency ; but ships that rouse to Liverpool-frequent ly take a cargo of Salt, and mime of the Northern shipsload back with Coals; a variety of goods. ace taken by the Norway ships that do not go through our _House,, bht are stippli, r l b y other Merchants,' who eto to Norway i and deal with the Nor wegians, with Out our •interveution as a House of Ageney,--so t toot he Bills,,only pass _through its. In , two instances last year I cargoes, the grtiss proceeds of one amounted to 3,6361. and the other to 3,620 L, and the net proceeds Neese only-921. Ntt). the.former, and 671. upon the latter ; . the rest of the money remained here in Charges, Duty; and Co:Omis sion, &c. the cargoes had been certainly lying time on cons'gnusent, but: ihat.was the result of those two cateoes, t heft:him from such returns there would not he any Keil large exportation.. , %%lien you state thot - tbe returns are small, do you mean • small in bulk, or small in Value ? , --The returns small in va lue; t wo I ii4V.O instanced, one . at 921. ou is said amounting to .3,6361-aud 171. on a sale of 3,6201.; but generally they are small in value so much is swallowed up in freight and charges,ami other t xpences, that the return to the shipper is hut to the consumer the article ht.-comes very dear, iuuasieuch as . I have 'stated before, the article cat) he supplied at - 161. 10s. per hundred,-and 3sl. per hundred is the price that the Deal Merchant pays io the first instance. Cafe you state t icconcp.erutire quality of Norwegian Tim ber, with that of the other Northern States ?—The Timber from. Norway certainly' is of the best quality, for the pur poses for which it is used (Deals,) of ally that comes fromthe Northern States this is generally adnilled. Not.excluding Memel ?—No, Memel is a large Timber, and runniog large it is more generally used, and better adapted for the purposes of Timber ; but as far as Deals at-'concern ed, the Norway Timber is superior to Memel, or any other. YOu have spoilt n 'of the price of 161. les. per hundred ; where does that price take place ?--I reckon that the prime 'cost on board the ship is about 101. the hundred, 41. for height, and 21. 10s. hir commission, and charges in this Country, bringing it to lin. 10s. exclusive of all Duties the Duty being now 211. lOs. brings it up to 381., which is the price at which we can now 5141'4. Is the taste for !Walsh Manufactures very prevalent in Nor , way ?—Very prevalent ; the better class of people are all clad in English Articles, English Cloth ; and from my corre spondent there, I know that the tower classes, when dressed on Sunday, pride themselves on wearing a British Coat, it they are snatched so to do. , Is there any limits to that taste, butt the liniitation of the means of indulging should tbink not r when they gut a better price for their article the taste fur British articles In crcased' tyry touch. Do you apply this to furniture as well as to clot Icing ?—Cer tainly., • What would be the 'effect of laving the same runty on Ca . - nada Tiatbey as on the Timber of the North of Europe ?—lf Duty wins made equal, ft conscluenc'e natuplly prevent the Canada Timber being tirought home, inasmuch as Canada lying somuchfartin4 off than the Northern Ports the difference of freight Would be an Lxclfisififi;tint if there was a Duty equivalent to that difference, I think there then be a diminOtion of the Trade, but nut altogether an ex closififi. • ..... . , Is t be quality different ?—Certainly, in tome instances Very different ; that . enintit be more strongly COI:IT:eft than that Ihe Cauadian Merchant is selling his - red pine • derili at . this my ment at about twenty;Onepotinds per hundr;:d, and the white Sprott, which approach nearer to the rpurtity of the inferior Norway, - me triow selling at:twenty-six, as I,stated before; and although the price of inquirtation, I Conceive, may be nearly the same for red pine. thud white Spruce deals, he is tahing the advantage of that 51., in . coasequence of the su perior quality of the latter over the fu►mer article, as the Northern 'competition is shut out by •the high duty. Ought not the ditty tope laid with reference to the quality of the article, as well as with reference tit the difference . of f. eight, its iir..der to give them au equal chance In the market ? That would only allow them to-bring home to the consumer here an article uf• an inferior quality, at the same rate as one of a superior quality.- - What is the freight, of 100 deals from Canada ?—I consider the freight at present. as•aboltt 121.; the freightttf' a load of timber _is about el. 10s., andiktirre are abort five loads -of Timher - in 100 twelve feet deals': that would bring it `to dbout 121. Are the prohil,itions and restrictions on the importation of British pro lace and mawifacture into Norway, the same as exist in SiNedi - 9.l?—Norw;ry has alvays been eo ns.idvied as a distinct King . doin. I believe at presont,tbe Law is the•same, and Itu:re if,s been recently .sonte iirohibition in Sweden, _ . Ii; I have I never linderstooil . they have bee . n.acted upon in Norway. . You Cannlot sp e ak partieularly to your own knowledge ?--- No, I cannot, as we are only Aiients for the Sale; we du not semi out Lroof:s on Wielqt'll aeepttat. ' . Do you know any thirig of ihr State of Norway, aa It • re• cprcts distres , ?—That they are in great 'distress, and the Capital the A:tenta have loCkeil up there, and that they cannot get, is aery Considerable. 1 tbirif,-. I speak within etnupa4g, when" i s,iy, that the debt due from ibe Norwegians tn .the 136 , b nits here is nearly half a in'Allott of money. . What other articles of Export has Norway, besides Timber ? None, hardly; to this Couotry. No fish?-N , ., t hey exhort sonic fish to the Mediterranean.

Linde! the existing regulations of this Country, what in an lvive the N rwegiaos of lignidating that debt of •Italf tnillion ?—None whatever ; I upon it We shall lose thi,; whole of the tuoney, unless snare relief is afforded; have rery'coositterahle mmtgages ,upon their landed estates, and upon their woods, and unless we arecoallied bring th eni hione, in some shape or another, the money must he lost. Du you think I'l3l , have the .meaus 9 f carrying on any in creased trad,t with us at present ?--Not under the present re , .. gulations certainly. 17-nder any regulation's, do von think that the present po verty td Norway yould.perilllit them to catty on any increased Trade with this Country?-1f there was a fair opentog, so that the ditty,wai not laid as a 'proliihit , •ry duty altogether, and that the Norwegians 'could get a very tritile beyond their actual expellees of euttiag their Timber, whatever that ex cess.was, they would be able out of that, to liquidate their debt. Do you think that, under those circumstances, it would he a remit:l4l)lr then;; for Merchants to 'ltch-Into re dee per in that 'Trade. iu Which there is at preseot so large a slim out as half a million, and with so bail proipeCts of recovering it ?.—Cer thinly not; but we are obliged, when people are anxious to pay their debt, and nuder the impressioti that their deals - must sell, to receive them. We have several cargoes. bonded already, that will not probab'ev pay freight and duty ; ofcourse there is little chance of there being any thipg for the payment of the debt. The money advanced by different houses . upon the goods, has Vern in fact to keep them from a state of bank ruptcy, in hopes of some alteration. You say there is a bad prospect of payment of this half Mil lion due to . the British Merchants, t xcept front encourage ment; 10 what sort of encooragement did you look when you said that?—eau equalization , of duty after allowing"the British Colonies in America a protecting duty to cover differ .efice of freight, and a regulat 'Ma of the limy as far as the otherPoWers on the Continent are concerned, by malting it a graduating duly. Then the protecting duty for the iltnerican Timber is equally disadvantageous to all I he polls yf the North Rut the way.of laying the d:ity i 3 pai'ticoiarly is to the Ports of Norr4ay ?—Yes ; if the daty was :aid on a gr;iduated scale as it is in Ireland, eight feet, tats feet, twelie feet, and so on, it would lenitive that objection ; fa the Norwegian cannot now ship any eleven, ten,-or nine feet deals, and these are consequently excluded 'front the market, auto he_ IS obliged to sacrifice those lengths 'to get the a , tvantage the duty dn, eight feet deals gives hint ; far if a twelVe toot deal costs W.. eleven would cost 91. 39. 4d.; a ten foot would be SI. es. Sd. ; and an eight foot 61. t;s, Bd, ; the ,duty being the same uoon the twelve, eleven and ten, the•charges upon the twelve loot would be 281.; the charges upon the eleven. foot, would be, 271.95. 2d. ; the charges upon the ten foot would be WI. 14s. ;. and the charges upon the eight'foot 'worth) 10, I IL 13s. l id ; the sale price of the twelve feet would be. 331, ; the sale price Of the eleven feet would be Ios. Bd. ;/ the sale price of the . ten feeewould be 301. Ss. ; and upon the eight feet 191. ; the ; consequence would be, that the, twelve feet wortld 'produce,' 101. which cost 101.; ,the eleven feet ixould produce 71. is which co , t 91. 3s. 4d.; the.sale plat- of the-te-n f r et would he; 31. 14s..ssikich cost 81, fis.iid.; and the sale price of the eight: feet would be SI. 6s. Id. which cost only -el. Gs. Bd.; so t ha( :the . sale price upon the eight feet amounts to exactly the, prime cost of the ten feet, so that the shippee had better ctit. off three feet of his deals and Ipirti it artnime, and he gets more for the eight feet by the present mode of charging the; duty, than lie would by sending deals of eleven feet in length. Have the Exporters.of Timber been iuditeed to avail them-. selves moan) of that facility by cutting then letigths shorter ?. -LTheyhave sent a cittOderahly large rrulanst;ty of eight feet • • in consequence, but that I do not consider as availing Ahem selves of it ; in fact they are excluded from the elevens and tens altogether, by the mode of laying flu; dory. What is the-eauSe of the lengths of Norway Timber being shot ter than anyother ; is it not on account of the state of the country, and of the roads, ante the difficulty of transport , Timber of heavy sizes?--Nn, the Timber is nut naturally so lame. Is there ally fair reason why the other Northern Powers should have v comparative adrantage over Norway in 'the n scale 'of the doties?—l should th ink rant, particularly in lengths; for although the greater , distanee from England causes an additional freight, yet as they are enabled to cito their deals eleven :inches wide, when the Norwegian can no t get them above nine, they have the net v a n ia 4 e,Df one-fifth nearly in - the duty, and supposing the duty to he at the rate of 201. for twelve feet, it gives them an advantage of mote ' than 41. which is equivalent to the udditional;freight for the a dditional distance, Do not you conceive the Port of London a had Pm t for Nor wegians to come •10, from the difficulty °lgo t ing a return ; is it no a less adva ntageous P or t f o r t h e N o rwegians to coie t o , t"n' l „ Liverpool, and do not they More often go back in ballast from this Port than from Liverpool ? . —As Wood is so 6)4119 , an At tiele, it is impossible to load - backltie toonage in full of the manufactures and of the articles that they would tahe from this country, therefore it is-possihlelhat •I he ships which go to tha,Ports of Exportation, could take I)4cli in value ficient to allow a certain nunibrr tv go. in ballast, os , (non Canada they pr.ttv to import lII'S year 310,000 tolls lit Tlalher mid Deals for the consumption of this country; . but a very large 'proportion of that shipping must out to Ca nada in ballast, th e value of their shipmerits of Timber and Deals can he taken in a very small amount of tonnage. Salt bein4 a great article, they 'can have a Eel OM cargo in Liverpool, but not here ?—1 believe salt is carried-hack from Liverpool; we hare bills drawn upon us for the shipments. Has not the debt which kt 3 . accumulated against the Bri tish Merchants, accumulated since the peace principally'?— No, certainly not. . When did it begin can hardly speak to that, hut when cattle into the House four years and a hail ago, there was a debt of nearly 100,0001. due to the Hines, ; the amount has not been increased Since. Were too in this trade in the year 1815 ?—lt was at the end of 1815 that I entered into it. Can you explain why the Importation Was much larger that year than an) Other ?—Hariag just entered it, 1 really:ea:mot explain exactly why it was. Con you inform the Committee whether it arose from a speculation from this CoUntry, or a efeire froM the Norwe gians'to 'diicharge the debt tine to his Country as far as our House was conterne'd, not at speCulatiOn this Country, but a de,ire tot the part of the :•;“.wegians tp discharge their debt, for We are :Merely a House Of. Agency to sell the consignmenta sent to us, and do not speculate in Ihe article ourselves.'
