SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON BRITISH SHIPPING.— (No. 54.5. 11. C.) One of the most important points to which the evidence of the witnesses examined was directed (as we remarked in a former article on the Shipping In terest, and its prospects), regarded— " Reciprocity Trollies," and one of the main causes assigned by them for the depression in the value of shipping property which has been for many years taking place. This evidence applied to them under five principal heads :-1. Generally ; 2. Their injurious effect upon British Shipping ; 3. How far observed by Foreign Powers ; 4. No effect to be attributed to the Treaties—whether or not they ought to be further carried out; 5. Whether the Government could have avoided entering into them. These are all of them important matters in relation to the existing aspect of our shipping interest. Mr. Hall, of London, having observed that "no duties have been taken off ships excepting under the reciprocity treaties"—and having answered affirmatively to the question, " Whether he would have similar treaties for the reduction of duties on goods ?" proceeds—" I have no doubt they would be met in a similar spirit on the Continent. When the first reciprocity treaty was proposed in—this country it was with Holland. M. Pagel was Mi n ist er here. Mr. Huskisson was at the Board of Trade ; and when M. Fagel represented to him that it was impossible for Holland to enter into a reciprocity treaty with this country, having the Navigation Act In favour of British shipping, Mr. Huskisson said— " That is the fundamental law of this country, but we have no objection to your passing a similar Act to protect your own." But M. Fagel replied, " Those very items in the importation of which you protect - British shipping are the very articles which we are exporting. Let us put a similar number of articles in our Navigation Acts, and we are ready to meet you." Mr. Geo. F. Young thus speaks to their injurious effect upon British shipping and upon the freights, as exemplified by both the North American and Baltic timber trades :—" The stipulation under which Ame rican ships were placed, strictly speaking, on the principle of reciprocity, was long antecedent to the passing of the Reciprocity Duties Bill : it was part of our concurrence in the treaty of peace after the last war with America. That was followed out in the case of the American trade, by the loss to the British shipping of a great proportion of the direct carrying trade between the United States and this country, which ever since has been continued to be engrossed in a very large degree by American ship ping. 1 am hardly prepared to say whether this degree is increasing at the present moment; I am inclined to think it is not—the importations both in American and English ships having increased ; and I am not aware whether the proportions of that increase are in favour of American or British ton nage. lowed in t;;,:' trade with those countries with which we have made treaties of reciprocity ; but as I con sider those treaties iz9w to form part of the per manent policy of this coantry, I regard the system in no other light than as .a cause of permanent pressure from foreign competiaon upon British tonnage in certain trades, which do; rives it of a great portion of the navigation in those trades, and causes a re-action upon other branches of maritime commerce which I will take the liberty of illustrat ing. In the great article of timber the competing produce of the British Colonies or North America and the Baltic are so newly adjusted in price, in the British market, that a very small variation will transfer the demand from the one article to a corre sponding production of the other part of the world: and thus, the Baltic timber being now, in a great degree, imported in Baltic ships at a low rate of freight, which the cheapness of production and navi gation enables them to accept, drives the British shipowner, engaging in the same trade, to take the same rate of freight in that trade, inasmuch as there cannot be two prices for the same commodity in the same market. This re• acts upon the American trade by preventing any rise in the freight of American timber ; because any such rise would in crease the cost of American timber in this market, and induce the consumers, in preference to paying that rate, at once to have recourse to the Baltic timber. Thus, I consider this particular alteration of our navigation system to be a cause of permanent pressure upon British tonnage. This, being in ope ration, has during the last few years been greatly aided by the concurrence of a variety of other cir cumstances leading to the same result. Among the most prominent, I have no hesitation in saying, is the over-production of ships. But I hope I shall be al lowed to explain why I have arrived at the conclu sion that that over-production has not been the result of any improvident act on the part of the British shipowners, but is almost wholly, if not entirely, the consequence of the freedom of admission of North American colonial-built ships to the privilege of British registry." The same witness proceeds to ex press a strong opinion that no further competition of foreign shipping should be admitted ; but that these in jurious effects of reciprocity treaties should operate as a warning against future errors of the same nature; especially, seeing that all the countries with which we have contracted these treaties can navigate more cheaply than ourselves. Mr. Somes concurs in the views of Mr. Young as to the disastrous influence of the reciprocity treaties on British shipping. He holds that no further infringement upon the present protection of that interest should be allowed ; and that the same cause injuriously affects all other trades. Mr. Chapman thinks that these treaties have diverted shipping from some branches of commerce into others, and thus proved an active cause of com petition ; but Mr. Tanner, allowing that they are a cause of the depression complained of, remarks that in 1839 and 1840 our shipping was in a comparatively flourishing state. It is important to notice, on this last point, the dis crepancy between the unqualified evidence to depres sion for the last five years, given by Messrs. Young, Somes, &c. On the depression of freights, Mr. Anderson says, that though it was partly owing, during the last three years, to the generally bad state of trade, it was mainly attributable to the operation of these treaties ; and that it was particularly in the interval from 1826 to 1829 that this effect began to be felt, allowing for the action of the general distress then prevalent throughout the kingdom. The same cause, he states, had largely operated to produce all the main fluctua tions experienced by the shipping interest since 1820. The fact of our being, as to the northern ports of Europe, an importing, rather than an exporting, country, makes the system of reciprocity disadvan tageous to us. We are disposed to attach the more value to the evidence of this gentleman, on account of the great candour and sound sense with which the whole bearings of reciprocity treaties, and, incidentally, of " discri minating duties," are set forth in the following answers to questions (2,004 to 2,036): — At the time of the reciprocity treaties, would it have been a very great detriment to our shipping if heavy discriminating duties had been imp9sed in foreign parts ?—No : I do not think it would. Will you explain how that could have failed to operate to the detriment of British shipping ?—I am giving my opinion by what occurred in Dantzic; at the port of Dantzic the duties were very heavy. There were double charges on British shipping at one time before the reciprocity treaties, and Dantzic lost all its trade, and was reduced to a state of beggary, and the ships were laid up and rotting, in conse quence of their laying on higher duties than the neighbouring ports. The result was to drive our shipping out of Dantzic ? —We had Memel to go to. Suppose they had adopted the same principle in Memel ?--We should have gone to Prussia. Suppose they had done the same thing everywhere. Suppose those foreign Powers determined to retaliate our Navigation Laws at that time, and had inflicted severe discriminating duties in foreign ports, would that have been no detriment to British shipping ? No. We should have had to go to the British Colonies, and to the southern ports of the United States for timber. That would have been a great detriment to the country, generally, as it would have raised the price of timber. You speak of having a resource in a trade with the United States ?—Yes. Ard'you not aware that the United States were among the very first Powers to commence that retalia tion ?—I know that very well. The United States were the first Power with whom we had the treaty of reciprocity in 1814. Was not that treaty in consequence of a determina tion of the Americans to inflict heavy discriminating duties in retaliation for the Navigation Laws ?—I do not remember. I know the date of the treaty from having since referred to it ; but at that time I was at sea. If that were so, would not the course adopted by the United States' Government have operated very much to the detriment of British shipping ?—lf our Government had imposed countervailing discriminating duties on their shipping, which would have been a fair retaliation, we should have been pretty much in the same situation as before. The retaliation was on the . side of the Americans : we had discriminating duties betiire the Americans imposed duties by way of retaliation ?—I do not know anything about what the tonnage duties were on ships in 1814. We had under our Navigation Laws, at that time, discriminating tonnage duties in our ports ?—I am not aware that we had before 1824. That was the principle of the Navigation Laws ? I don't think there were any discriminating tonnage duties on foreign shipping in 1824, previous to the en tering into those treaties. Was it not one of the main provisions of the Navi gation Laws that a higher tonnage duty should be placed on foreign vessels than on British ?—lt was not a duty on shipping : it was a per centage upon the duty on foreign imports : upon the goods, not upon the shipping. The duty, whether imposed upon the tonnage, or upon the goods, was a discriminating duty upon fo reign shipping ?—Certainly ; upon goods imported in foreign shipping. Which was intended to operate to the disadvantage of foreign shipping in our ports ?—lt was intended to operate to the advantage of British shipping, in pre ference to the shipping of foreign countries. That being the case, if the American Government adopted the same system by way of retaliation against us, do not you think that that must have operated to the detriment of our shipping interest?—lf the Ame rican Government had imposed no other or higher du ties upon the merchandise of this country, imported into the United States, than this country imposed upon the goods of America, imported in America❑ ships into this country, it would have been perfectly fair, and there would - have been no disadvantage ex cept a rise of price in the two countries. In that case, how should we have been better off by maintaining the discriminating duty than by that duty being dispensed with on each side ; that is, had there been mutual concession instead of mutual re taliation ?—There is no other difference as to America than that which existed in the way of duties. The question, as to America, I would not consider as placed on the same footing as the question with re ference to those countries which can navigate so much cheaper than British shipping can ; for we can navi gate with the Americans very fairly, and there can be no objection to putting the shipping on the same footing. The question is not whether we can compete with those countries upon an equal footing, but whether, under the circumstances of the case, we might not be placed in a position of quite as much disadvantage with reference to them as we are by the reciprocity treaties ?—With America, I think, we might. Supposing that, in our trade with the Baltic, by a process of retaliation, the discriminating duties had been made to press equally both in the foreign ports and in the ports of this country, how should we have stood in a better position as to competition with the shipping of those countries than under the reciprocity treaties ?—The protecting duties on British shipping were not on the ship, but on the merchandise. Then if the Prussians, or the other countries, had imposed a similar duty on goods imported in our ships it would have amounted to next to nothing; their imports from this country being so small compared with the ex ports from their country to this, it would not have had so injurious an effect. That may be true supposing the protecting duties confined to goods ?—That was the case in this country previous to the treaties being made. But the intentions of the Prussian Government were not to confine them to goods ?—I am aware that they were not. Assuming that the intention of the Prussian Go vernment was this—to enact laws which should ac complish as effective a discrimination in their ports, between their own shipping as ours, as we had esta blished in our ports between our shipping and theirs— what should you say then That it was a very un fair thing to do. I merely put it upon this ground, that I think, in common fairness, between the coun tries, the trade should be so regulated as that the sub jects of both countries, taking into consideration their relative situations and their liability to expenses, over which they can have no elittrol, should be placed in the same situation as to the benefit to be derived from trade. What power have we of giving effect to any such arguments as those you have mentioned in the case of foreign countries I—We have no power but that which the Americans resort to, of non-inter- course. In your opinion it would - be detrimental to the shipping interest of this country if all other coun tries adopted the principle of our own Naviga tion Laws ; namely, to prevent our having any inter course with them in our own ships ?—lt would be difficult, no doubt, for this - country to contend with the whole world combined against her, which is a state of things, however, very unlikely to occur, con sidering what has been the course pursued by this country towards others. _ _ _ If You followed out your own principle of those Navigation Laws, and imposed such duties as would prevent any competition with you, supposing other countries to pursue the same principle with respect to you, would the shipping of this country be then on a better footing than it is at present ?—That is an ab stract question, which I cannot very well answer. But we never did that. The discriminating duties imposed by us in favour of British shipping were to so small an amount that one reason for abrogating that protection was, that the amount was so small as to render it not worth preserving. Do not you attribute much of the evil you complain of to the abrogation of those laws ?—Yes. A large portion of it ?—Yes, and I will give a reason for my opinion in that respect. Although the amount was small, and not extending to the amount of difference which existed in the cost of navigation between foreign countries and ours, it was 5 per cent. upon the import duty, and when the duty was 2/. 15s. a load, it amounted to 2s. 9d. a load on timber. Though that was not enough to make up for the difference in the expenses of navigation, it was enough to give us a preference in our own market, and enable us to get, perhaps, ls. to Is. Gd. a load freight for timber more than foreign ships. Have not you the protection of double lights and pilotage?—Those were taken off by the treaties with each foreign country respectively. Notwithstanding all, have you not beaten foreigners since 1824 in point of tonnage?—Certainly not in profit. Have you not in point of tonnage ?—I don't think we have. Suppose that those Foreign Governments had suc ceeded in accomplishing their avowed object of making a complete retaliation, and of placing our ships in their ports at as great a disadvantage in point of competition with their own as their ships were placed at in our ports, would you not, then, be in precisely the same situation with respect to competi tion as you are now, with the additional disadvantage of restrictions upon trade ?-45 they had so nicely calculated tho difference as to produce the same effect as is now produced, I do not see that any great dif ference would have teen the result. The only differ ence would have been that the infliction would have been by the Foreign Governments instead of by our own. On the third point-I , llv far these treaties have been observed, by Foreign towers,—great dif ference of opinion prevails. Mr. Curving has no reason to believe that British shipping in foreign ports is not on a footing with other foreign ships, and Mr. Hall inclines strongly to confirm this statement. On the other hand, Mr. Straker shows that the reci procity treaties are not fairly carried out by reason of the vexatious r9gulations of foreign ports. This wit ness further suggests that, as the intention of the treaties is thus defeated by some foreign states, it would be only fair tol restrict the privilege of bonding to cargoes brought in British ships, which would be an equivalent to their restrictions. In our next notice of this " Report," we shall give from the Appendix a list of the countries with which treaties of reciprocity, with regard to shipping, have been entered into, and the dates of such treaties. At an annual meeting of the Birmingham Law Society, held on the 19th ult., the following resolution was passed :—" It having been notified that certain soli citors in this town have sent in written tenders, com peting for employment by a building club, and on a scale of charges greatly below those legally authorised, this meeting feels it necessary to express its severe con demnation of such condiel;arderogatory to the honour of the legal profession, and calculated to endanger the interests of the public and the security of property, and to direct that this resolution be printed and sent to all the solicitors in Birmingham.—Birmingham. G azette. Such was the devastation of th e floods at Kilkenny, by high tide and continued rains, as to sweep the streets like a deluge, rising several feet in the houses, and car rying away furniture, beside corn, flax, and potatoes in the country. The city was a complete river for some hours, and the inmates of small houses only escaped by climbing to the roofs. There has been a lamentable loss of property.— Corh Examiner, LAWYERS OUTWITTED. Birmingham has been this week visited by two gentlemen, who have added another to the many im proved modes of swindling, and, considering the " subjects" which they selected to operate upon, they are certainly entitled to a patent for the discovery It appears that a few days ago a stranger, of gentle manly exterior and address, about 60 years of age, and having the appearance of being blind, went to the office of a respectable solicitor, accompanied by a youth, who acted as his guide. On being ushered up stairs and seated in the solicitor's room, he pre sented his card, bearing the name of " Mr. Charles Rice," and proceeded to say that he had called for the purpose of obtaining a little professional advice rela tive to the best mode of recovering some 601. from 3 person named Joliffe, who resided at Aston-road. The money had been owing him for a long time past, and having extended every conceivable indul gence to the gentleman, who was a man of property, he really felt the painful necessity of taking proceed ings. The solicitor, of course, sympathised with his new client, took the necessary instructions, and pro mised to write instantly to Mr. Joliffe; Mr. Rice very considerately observing, that as he was a stran ger, and this being their first transaction, he felt the propriety of requesting the solicitor to accept his ac customed fee for the intended application to Mr. Joliffe. Not having the least doubt of the respectability of his client, the legal gentleman as promptly de clined the liberal offer, being quite satisfied with the honour of enrolling the stran ger's name amongst his clients. Mr. Rice then lefr, and, according to promise, Mr. Joliffe was written to, and in the course of the evening that gen tleman waited upon the solicitor, acknowledged the receipt of his letter, regretted very much the neces sity which his old friend Mr. Rice had been under to adopt such measures, and hoped a few days' indul gence would be extended, when he would most cer tainly pay all he owed. The solicitor, quite satisfied with the result of the interview, was about quietly to touch his bell for another client, Rhea Mr. Joliffe, apparently overcome by the polite attention and in dulgence he had received, put his hand in his pocket, and tendered a guinea, as some recompense for the trouble he had occasioned ; a " consideration " which was, of course, declined, and Mr. Joliffe left the office. On the following day Mr. Rice, accompanied by his juvenile guide, again called at the office of the soli citor, and was so well pleased at the result of the ap plication, that he at once proposed to commit the management of his affair into the solicitor's hands. With this view he produced a large posting bill, an nouncing the sale of "a very desirable estate," only one hour and-a-half's journey from London, in " a delightful situation," lately the property of Frederick Augustus Rice, Esq., deceased. The sale was an nounced under the authority of Mr. IVinstanley, the auctioneer, to come off, without reserve, at the Crown Inn, Aylesbury, on the 30th instant. Amongst the valuable effects to be put up for sale, was a "commodious residence," entitled " Bed-hill Farm," presenting, to quote the lan guage of the announcement, "a most attractive retreat for a London tradesman, desirous of combin ing a pleasant residence with profitable and agreeable rural occupation." Mr. Winstanley was also in structed to sell about 300 lots of well-made furniture, 460 ounces of plate, 37 dozen of excellent wines, with live and dead stock, farming implements, &c., parti culars of which were to be had on the premises, of the auctioneer, and of Mr. C. Rice, " sole legatee, 41, Great Brook-street, Birmingham." The agency. of this important and profitable transaction was at once accepted by the solicitor, upon which Mr. Rice said he could immediately put the deed of the pro perty in his possession, but that on coming down from London he stopped at Coventry, where he left the• documents with a gentleman who kindly lent him 201.; as he happened, however, to have only eight sove reigns about him, the balance was freely advanced by cheque by the solicitor. Mr. Rice, extremely thank ful for tho prompt arrangement of his pecuniary diffi culties, speedily left the office, and it is F.eedless to say had the cheque forthwith converted into cash, for getting, in his anxiety to arrange his affairs, to send for the deed, or to return to the offices of his obliging legal friend. 'The solicitor next day, suspecting all was not right, made some inquiries, and discovered that two other solicitors had been favoured with the stranger's patronage, and prevailed upon to advance 201. each upon the deed of Red-hill Farm. Information was given to the police, when it was discovered that seve ral tradesmen had been swindled in a similar man ner, and, amongst others, Mr. Morley, hairdresser, of Union-street. Mr. Rice called upon him, and after many inquiries relative to the most improved mode of wig making, submitted his head for measurement, and gave an order for a very superior article. Money was no object; a good fit, the newest style, and appro priate colour, were the main considerations ; and if the article combined all these qualities, a guinea extra would be cheerfully paid. Mr. Rice, in the meantime, purchased a guard-chain and other articles, to the amount of about 21., and in a day or two after called, and tendered in payment of the order a promissory note for 71., purporting it to be from his tenant, Mr. Joliffe, of the Aston-road. He said he did not wish to run so small a note into his bank, and as it would be due in a few days, it would, he presumed, suit Mr. Morley to hand him the balance. Having ascertained that the gentleman banked at Mr. Moilliett's, he made inquiries at that establishment, and was informed that Mr. Rice had a large sum deposited. He then accepted the note, and handed over the balance to his customer. In a few days after the articles were sent home to the gentleman's address, when it was found that be had decamped, leaving Mr. Morley in posses sion of the yet undue promissory note. Finding his customer had absconded, he went to Mr. Moilliett's, to make inquiries relative to the " deposit," and was informed that the Mr. Rice referred to had with drawn 3001. from the bank the day before, and that he had been made the victim of an accomplished swindler. It is scarcely necessary to add, that neither Mr. Rice nor his accomplice has since been heard of.—Birmingham Journal. DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM A NEW EXPLOSIVE SIIELL.—On Tuesday last, about three P.M., a dreadful accident occurred on Wimbledon-common to a man of the name of James Taylor, an old soldier, while assist ing Dr. Ryan, of the Royal Polytechnic Institution, in a series of experiments on a new explosive shell, the in vention of Mr. Buckingham. The shell is one of a peculiar construction, having no fusee, and resembling in its external character the common cannon ball. The inventor, however, professes to have so perfect a control over the missile that by merely changing the position of the shell, as it is placed in the gun, it may be made to explode 1,2, 3, or even 15 minutes after it has been fired ; or it may be made to explode almost as it leaves the orifice of the cannon. Four or five dozen of these shells were fired during the morning under the direction of Dr. Ryan, who had been retained professionally to watch the results. Two of the shells, which ought to have exploded each a few minutes after leaving the gun, having remained quiet upwards of two hours, it was sup posed that a failure had occurred ; and although Mr. Buckingham had repeatedly, asserted that he could so arrange his machinery as to keep the shell quiescent 24 hours, and then allow it to explode, yet, as the shells in question had not been so charged, no suspicion of any danger occurred to the mind of any of tho spectators. However, the dreadful result proves that, either the in ventor had by mistake employed one of his long-timed shells, or some error had occurred in the arrangement of the charge. Dr. Ryan had left the ground only a very short time to return to town, when Mr. Bucking ham and James Taylor proceeded to remove the exploded shells. One of these had been already in the hands of two or three persons, when Taylor took it for the pur pose of washing the earth off its surface. lle was in the act of stooping when the shell burst, carrying away both the poor fellow's hands, and wounding him most dread fully in the legs. A portion of the shell entered the right cheek, carrying away the lower jaw, and then passing out on the side of the neck ; yet, strange to say, without injuring the carotid artery. Tourniquets were immediately applied to the arms and legs, and with all speed the sufferer was conveyed to St. George's Hospi tal, where he arrived, as might be expected, in a state of collapse Ile rallied, however, in the course of the even ing, and Mr. Tatham proceeded to remove the remaining fragments of the horribly fractured jawbone, and after wards performed amputation on both arms, just below the elbow. Notwithstanding these injuries, Taylor is perfectly sensible, and some faint hopes are entertained of his recovery, a result hardly to be desired in his mu tilated s'a'e. Dr. Ryan had himself examined the shell hefore liaving the ground, being perfectly convinced that it was a failure ; his feelings, therefore, may be well imagined, when, in two hours afterwards, he saw Taylor in the accident ward of St. George's, an evidence of his own providential escape. SOCIETY or ARTS. —At the meeting of the Society on dnesday, an interesting paper by Mr. Milton, on 131 t ish and foreign honey, and the management of bees, was read, and the thanks of the society were unanimously awarded to him. After this a model of the Grenior Mobile, or rotatory granary was produced, and a short paper, explanatory of its objects, was read by Mr. %Vhishaw, the secretary. The machine, w hi c h i s in tended to preserve corn, was exhibited at the meeting of the British Association for this year. It consists of a hollow cylinder composed of wire gauze and timber, so constructed as to admit the air, and divided within into several compartments for the reception of the grain. At one end is a vane connected with a tube, by which the air admitted through the wire gauze is carried off, and a free current preserved. The whole machine revolves upon an axis, and receives its motion by a slight manual exertion. Thus the corn within is shifted at pleasure h n e a . p r r o e a s ( s , t n e t r, a bA r t i h o e us simple motion method, and f os i ? r ma m e e s n 'hh t ie a ne t g i l olinink,:tdeecacodoffmoe coffee decomposition, destruction by vermin, and all other casualties to which grain in st ore i s su bj ect, as alleged by the arc, i nventor, more effectually pre vented. This machine is already extensively in use in France, and it is said there is one at Brest capable of holding 800 quarters. The expense of erecting one is estimated at about V. for every quarter of wheat it is capable of containing. The thanks of the society were then voted to Mr. Birmingham, by whom the model was exhibited, and the meeting was adjourned to Wednesday next. We can state, from authority, that the anxiously wished for Brevet will take place in January next.-- Limerick Chronicle.
