CHARLES GRA NT,Esq. took the chair. The Report represented that the Institution was highly prosperous, and that he benefits of the circula- tion:of the Holy Scriptures had already begun to be apparent.—The Rev. Dr. Stienkotf represent ed the great progress of the Bible Societies at Paris where upwards of 50,000 copies had been distributed during the last year, and the demand for them had been so very great, that the So ciety had been unable to supply it. In Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and even in Turkey, the Scriptures had been circulated by the Agents of the Institution. In Germany the circulation of Bibles had gone on with great spirit, and at on ! .. University alone there were 14 presses constantly at work printing Bibles,69,ooo.pf which had-been circulated from that plaee in one"year.-1-n Russia the same good work was going on as well a s cou ld be expected. The Right Hon. C. Grant, M.P. Secretary of State for Ireland, made a long and powerful address to the Meeting, as did also the Hon. and Rev. G. Noel, the Rev. Dr. Owen, Dr. Wilson, Dr. Jefferies, and several other Divines and Gentlemen resident in the district ; when Officers for the ensuing year were appointed, and, after a. large collection had been made, the Meet ing separated. Sin—ln the very extraordinary aild,(tb British Ship Owners; very alarming report on th e subj e ct o f th e Ti m b er Trade which has. just been presented to. the liduse of CommonS by the Select Committee on Foreign Trade, is the following para graph : • , . `°With respect to th e exemption from duty in favoUr of co , lonial timber, that adi;antage was originally temporary, and has been since continued from •time, to time for limited periods ; and, although the persons concerned in the Colonial timber • trade may have had a just expectation that they ihould enjoy_ for a considerable period the advantages afforded them, as well by the exemption granted, as by the unties imposed by the 49th and 40th of George 111. ; so far from any expectation being held out, that the encouragement So given had been considered by Government as permanent, or was intended to be indefinite ly continued to them,. that means seem to have been studiously taken to produce, by explanation,- a conviction of a contrary , tendency, and to impress them with the assurance, that previ ously to the expiration of the existing law, the timber trade would be brought uncler,the consideration of Pa r li amen t, :Wi t h the. view of iatt p iltichig. ani alteration into th e sca l e o f the pre-. sent duties 'that should render them more equal and more fa.: vourable to our intercourse with the foreign States with whom it was carried on." From this statement, 1, Wi ear, that timely explana tions.lllPs were given by the Executive Government of a nature to prepare the Shipping Interest for that saerthee; more favour able ".to our intercourse with those foreign States with whom the timber trade is carried on," which it - recommend e d in the Report of the Seleet Committee : whereas, - on looking to the commuications which you, as the organ of the Ship Owners, have from time to time made to myself and oth ers , on. t hi s vitally interesting subject, the only informati on w hi c h t h ey ap: is pear to contain as follows :__. In the month of .Feb. 1817, you reported that a letter had been received from Mr. Lack, Secretary to the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, to the following effect : That he had been directed to acquaint you, " that it being deemed advisable by Lis Majesty's GoVernment, on various accounts, to postpone the consolidation of the customs for ano ther year, there was no intention of submitting to Parliament any proposition for the alteration of the timber duties in that session ; but they thought it right that the Committee of Ship Owners should be apprized, that his Majesty's Government were of opinion that the extension of a duty to the timber im ported from the British North American Colonies, equal in amount to the additional duty imposed on foreign timber in 1813, would be prod uc ti ve t o t h e revenue without being preju dicial to the great interests concerned." In January, 1818, you reported, as the result of a conver sation with Mr. Lack upon the subject of the duties on timber, that his Majesty's Government had not come to any decision thereon. In the Month of February, 1813, you reported • that Mr. Lack (in answer to a letter from the Committee remonstrating . against the intention of subjectin g th e N or th American timber' to a duty of 10s. 3d. per load) had stated, that " upon a full consideration of all the circumstances of the case; and more particularly with reference to the Act of 55 Geo. 111. cap. 85 (by which timber from the British North American Colonies was exempted from duty till the 25th March, 1820), it was not at that time the intention (Wills Majesty's Government to sub mit to Parliament any alteration of the law as it then stood; in respect to the importation of timber, whether from our own Colonies or froth Foreign States." And in December, 1819. you again reported that, at an in terview with the. Lords of Trade, you had been informed that " their Lordships' had called for some official papers ; and that when the lame weft; laid bcfore them, they would resume the consideration of the expediency of renewing the law for ad mitting tinther.fit for naval purposes from the Colonies, duty free,. which was about to exnire on the 2.ith March. 1820." The " explanations" spoken of in the report, cannot there fore have been - had with the Committee of Ship Owners, or if they . were, they have been unaccountably withheld from the parties most deeply interested. So far from those which I have alluded to leading to the expectation that it was in the contem plation of his Majesty's Government to transfer the &•reater part of the Colonial limber Trade to foreigners, by taking off 10s. per load from the duty on foreign timber, and imposing 10s. per load on the Colonial timber, the utmost that ever was threatened was the intention of layin g its. 3d.' per load on the latter: • • From the zeal which you have always manifested for the in.; terest of British shipping, I trust you will excuse the anxiety I feel, in common with many others, to receive a satisfitctory answer from you on this subject ; for though the ship-owners can be at no- loss to see what is to be their fate, now that the era of « liberal principles" h a s comm e n c ed , an d the Colonial timber trade is considered as " supporting, by artificial :leans,, a mercantile marine, in a state of magnitude at whieifit has arrived from accidental causes alone, and which is neither con ducive to the commercial prosperity, or essential to the politi cal security of the n a tion ;" it will be a most sensible aggrava tion of the ruin in which the Ship Owners are about to - be in volved, to find that a warning was given by the Lords of the Committee - for Trade, but withheld from those whom it most concerned, by the party whose spacial duty it was to make it universally known—a circumstance, however, that, from your scrupulous regularity (which, as a Member of the Committee, I have constantly observed), I cannot for one moment lielinrc to be the fact, being well satisfied that no man can be more alive to the vital importance of this subject to the Shipping In terest than yourself. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, John-street, America-square, March 23.• WM. PARKER. (COPY.) MARK-LANE, MATtCII 23,1821. • SIR-1 have received your letter of this date, and in reply assure you That I have been as much astonished as yourself at reading that part of th e Report of the Select Committee to which you allude, and the more so, as, on looking through the evi dence, I have net been able to . find any upon which the Com mittee ground their statement, that means have been studiously taken to prepare the parties interested for a measure thus ruin ous to the British Shipping interest, The only official communications that have been made to me, either verbally or in writing, are, to the best of my recollection, those which arc quoted - in your letter, and I must add that it is not likely I should be forgetful upon a subject of such vital im portance.
