Yesterday the 49th Anniversary Festival of the Society in Scotland, for propagating Christian Knowledge in the Highlands and Islands, was celebrated at the Albion, Aldersgate-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, President, took the Chair at 6 o'clock, support e d on hi s r i g ht by Sir F. Baker, Bart. and on the left by Mr. Sheriff Garratt. After the cloth was re moved, Non Nobis Domine sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Taylor, and Finny, and the usual toasts given, the Royal Chairman rose, and entered at some length into a recital of the merits of the In stitution, the many advantages it possessed, an d t h e b enef i ts i t had conferred on deserving objects. His Royal Highness la mented very deeply the absence of several Members of Parlia ment and other men of rank, who, he thought, ought to be present on an occa s ion so i m p ortant ; b ut he hoped they would shew just cause why they did not attend, and prove to the So ciety they had not forgotten the charity, by coming forward with their subscriptions. He knew that that evening several gentle men were detained in the Ho use on important business. The last thing he could accuse a Scotchman of was, want of attach ment to his native country. He should conclude, by soliciting every Scotchman present to shew that attachment by his contri bution that evening.—Mr. Sheriff Garratt, Dr. Waugh, Mr. Thompson, the Secretary to the Institution, and other Gentle men, delivered appropriate speeches, and about 3001. were col lected. The utmost conviviality prevailed during the evening, and it was much heightened by the vocal exertions of the pro fessional gentlemen present.

A meeting of the Livery of London was yes terday held at Guildhall, for the purpose of considering of a petition to be presented to Parliament on the subject of the pre sent distressed state of the country, and praying for a reform in the House of Commons. The LORD MAYOR was in the Chair. The Town Crier having read the requisition, stating the ob. ject of the meeting, The Lora) MAYOR came forward,.and expressed his hope that every Gentleman, whatever his principles might be, who might wish to state his opinions to the livery, would receive a patient and impartial hearing at their hands. Mr. FAVELL then addressed the meeting. The requisition had very properly originated with the Livery, although he had been called on to have the honour of moving the resolutions which were to be submitted to them for their consideration. It was not often that they 144 been treated with such disrespect' by their Representatives ill Parliament, as that three out of the four (Mr. Alderman Woad was present) should not think it worth their while to meet their constituents upon such an occa sion.--(Hear.)--He needed not to remind them them how often they had before petitioned Parliament, and laid their grievances and distt-ess before it, with no effect whatever. But those complaints were on record, and the unhappy consequences which they a had pointed out as likely to result from the systeni of government which they deprecated, had since taken place, and effected a great change in the public mind. Many gentle- Men, who had before supported the present Government, had lately declared at county mee ti ngs t h at t h e i r op i n i ons were al tered, - and they now thought with the friends of reform. They (the Livery) were rather late in the session in coming forward with their petition ; but they had hoped, when complaints of the desperate state of the country poured in from every part of the kingdom,. and when economy and retrenchment had been re commended• by . his Majesty from the throne, that Mini. sters would have adopted some effectual measures of reduction in the public expenditure which would have rendered it unne. cessary for them (the Livery) to have recourse to such a pro ceeding. But since no such efficient measures had been pur sued, and particulariy since the alarming doctrine had been avowed in the House of Commons by the Ministers of the Crown, that useless places should be retained because they were necessary to support a commanding influence in the House; such a blow had been aimed at the foundation ofßritish liberty as proved it to be high time for the city of London to come for. ward, and make some stand upon so important an occasion. Mr. Favell then proceeded to show, that distress was as great amongst the commercial as amongst the agricultural classes, and contended that the only effectual remedy for the various evils at present existing in the state was a Reform in Parliament. They had heard of the great Common Council lately. He wished the great Sir 'William was there, as he would not speak of him behind his back as he should if he were present. He and two others of their representatives had remained away—he supposed upon the principles of the new system of tactics ; by which, if you complain of abuse, you are called disloyal, the former epi thets of Jacobin, &c. being worn out. But he (Mr. Favell) would say, that the principles which had brought them toge ther that day were the principles of 1688, and those by which George IV. wore the Crown of these realms upon his head ; and he said , this even though Secretary Murray were lurking in the hall.—(Hear.)—lt was an address of the City of London, in the mayoralty of Sir Thomas Abdey, which enabled King William, towards the close of his reign, when the Stuarts were on the point of getting in again, to dissolve his Tory Parlia ment, and pass the act of succession in the new one, by which the crown was secured to the House of Brunswick. He trust ed he should see the young men of the age coming forward m support of those principles, which gained strength as the under standing became enlightened ; and it would not be less difficult to arrest the march of the human mind than to stop the planets in their orbits, pr, the sun in its course.—(Cheers.)—He con cluded by proposing a resolution, drawn up in the spirit of his address, and a petition founded upon it, to be presented to the House of Cgromena. Mr. G.ar.t.owax, in secondin g th e mot i on, sa id , i t was unne cessary for him to add any thing to what had fallen from the Hon. Allover, except the expression of his concurrence with him in all which he had said, and of his regret at the absence of Sir Wm. Curtis,. who, if he had appeared there to-day, would in five minutes sarmore against the system which he supported than any Gentleman in that Hall could say in five hours. He remembered an election for Westminrter, at which Admi ra l Gardiner and Hom e T oo k e h a d been opponents. During six days the. Admiral could not get a hearing, but on the 7th he did get a hearing, and in five minutes he said more against himself than Horne Tooke had said in the six preceding days. The first Resolution was then put, and agreed to unanimously. Mr. HANSARD begged leave to notice the lavish expendi ture of the Government, which procured them that predomi nating influence in the House of Commons. One family, which had considerable influence in that House had received of the public money 872,0001. One member of the family (Lord Grenville) had received 88, - 0001. as Auditor of the Ex chequer since 1805 ; another member of it had received in that time 44,0001.; and the Duke of Buckingham had received 560,0001. of the public money. Was it to he expected that such men would vote against the Government which paid them and their relations so extravagantly ? He hoped the Livery would, .at the next election, choose men who would r e p resent their feelings, and not such men as Sir W. Curtis, who made a laughing stock of his constituents. Mr. PARKINS, after congratulating the Livery, on the pro gress of Reform, the first petition in favour of which, from the Livery of London, had been agreed to on thelOth February; 1769, said, that he was requested by the friends 'of humanity to propose a Resolution to the Livcry. He hoped they would adopt it, and its object was to petition Parliament for a remis sion , of the remaining part of Mr. Hunt's imprisonment. No person having seconded this Resolution, it • could not be put. - Mr. NVAITIIMAN said, it would be inconsistent with his whole public life if he neglected to make a few*Ohservations. His opinions open the subject of Reform were well known, and it was unnecessary for him to repeat them. The Worthy Al derman then, in a speech of some length,• ridiculed the state ment of Ministers, that a great part of the present distress had arisen from excursive produce. Mr. Favgl.t, then moved that the petition be signed by the Lord Mayor, two Aldermen, and twelvt• of the Livery, which was put, and carried unanimously. • Mr. FavELL moved an instruction to the Representatives of the city to support the petition, and that Alderman Wood pre sent it. Alderman Woon declared that he should be always ready to support the wishes of his constituents, and he trusted that his colleagues, to whom he should give notice of the time of pre senting the petition, would support it. The other Resolutions were then put and agreed to. Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, who returned thanks, and the Hall was then dissolved. THE SHIPPING INTEREST. - A [FROM " THE PUBLIC LELCCIER."I Sin-At the present period of universal difficulty and die tress, it can scarcely be matter of surprise, that each of the various interests, of which the comrininity is composed, should exert its utmost efforts towards obtaining relief from its own immediate burthens, regardless of the addition it must, if suc cessful, shift on the shoulders of the remainder, while the ag gregate weight to be borne remains undiminished. The very .universality, however, of this feeling, counteracts the tendency which its partial operation would have to destroy the just equi librium between national interests ; since every effort made by • •.• one, stimulates to more active defensive measures.on the part of the remainder. Hence the Petitions with which the tables of the House of Commons nightly groan, from tisenigitculturist, the Manufacturer, the Merchant, and the Colonist ; and the bond of union is daily drawn closer with each to defend right or repel aggression. To this' general rule, however, there ap pears one singular exception,; and as it occurs with an impor tant class of the comm u nity, among whom 77)e Public Ledger has its most extensive circulation, I avail mySelf of its columns, in the hope of drawing their attention to the anomaly. It is obvious I mean the Shipping Interest. To those who are aware how little active concert has ever existed among Ship Owners—how unrepresented they have always been in the Legislature--how ill adapted are their gene ral habits and engagements for any combined effort for the pro tection of their interests—it would appear almost miraculous that they have not long since fallen a sacrifice. Fortunately, however, for them, the manifest importance of this Interest, in a national point of view, has done that for them which they never would have effected for themselves : and, from the days of Eli zabeth to the present, so intimately interwoven has maritime preponderancy been considered with national security, that what. ever differences of political views may have actuated successive Statesmen, all have vied in endeavours to foster and cherish our Naval Power, and all have seen that the only means of perpe tuating that power consisted in the encouragement and protec tion of a Commercial Marine. But we have lived to witness a new era ; and though for centuries every enlightened and Pa triotic statesman has upheld our navigation system, and though the Father of the science of Political Economy has pronounced it the wisest 8? our political code, and though under it national wealth has advanced with unparalleled strides ; and through.. out its operation, and by its means, the soil of Britain has been preserved unpolluted by invasion, amidst convulsions that have shaken the whole civilizd world to its centre ; and when, in turn, every other nation has been the theatre of the horrors of war, though every year has demonstrated its-wisdom and ex hibited its advantages, undisputed and indisputable --yet, in compliance with, and in deference to, a new and unexplained light which has suddenly beamed on ministers.and legislators, we are called on to abandon all that wisdom has devised, and experience justified, and to commit national wealth and nation. al safety to the hazard of untried theory and visionary experi ment. If, however, the Hydra of Innovation cannot be crush ed, let him at least be combated. While the Legislative and Executive Governments gave protection and encouragement to the Shipping Interest, those engaged in it might with impuni ty sleep at their posts ; when their -enemies are multiplied, and their defence withdrawn, it is high time . foz - them to arouse from their lethargy, and do their utmost to de fend themselves. Above all things, let them not at such a tithe be seduced by insidious representations into a separation ; ef i interests, which must be alike fatal to all. By union among . themselves, and by union alone, can they hope, to Maintain then- 3 0mnd. This observation peculiarly arises frnni the prsceedings of a Meeting, held at the City of London Tavern,.on Wednesday last, having for its avowed object the protection 'Of the interests of a particular class of Ship Owners, as distinct from those of the general body. Were such the Qnly intention of its pro moters, however we might deplore the disunion,implied in the proposition, we might at least indulge in thChope that the great and important duties of Shipping wbuld.be maintained • unimpaired, and that the utmost evil that could result from the measure would be; that an undue preponderance ivould be ob tained by that particular branch, in favour of which it was projected. The comprisition,howeVer, of the Csniamittee then appointed, and the tendency .of some remark that were ad vanced, afford strong presumption for a belief t hat the designs of those by whom the Meeting was convened are very different from the protection of the interests of West India Shipping," and that a recent defeat, at a General Meeting of - Ship Owners, stimulated 'to the attempt . to obtain that from partial interests and partial apprehensions, which the voice.offfte general body loudly, universally, and'unequivocally condemned. It will, I presume, be readily admitted, ncnavithstanding the - confidence with which it was there asseited !•tht the interests of the Planter and the Ship Owner are insePailibly united,"._ that a broad and plain. line of distinetion exists between them, in consequence of which they are and ever must be placed in direct opposition to .eachotner ; the Planter being turiforrnly,. and naturally desirous of sen di ng hi s p ro d uce to market at the. lowest rate of freight.for which he can get it conveyed • and the Ship Owner equally so to 'procure :4st terms he can obtain for the employment of his ship.; -Th' ss is a conclusion which no ingemiity can. alter, no soptristry.catirdisguise • it is founded on the strongest impulse of. !wan mature, self-in terest; and experience •unanswera'nly demonstrates is truth.-- But we are told, that-unless the -Planter be enabled to sell his produce to advantage, he,,caunnt :possibly-pay q...e - ight for its conveyance. How then is- this'ilesideraturn-to be obtained? and above all, how are theShip-oWners t.osontribute towards- -" a consummation so devoutly to be wished ?"..By leading their aid towards procuring such a relaxation of the navigation system, for the benefit of the Planter and Merchant,• as wiill incur the hazard of transferring an important branch "of the..pritish car rying trade to foreign bottom s . Ai i d i s it p oss ible.;, it wiii be asked, that. . they can be induced sby-any representations, how ever specious, to concur in an act of such suicidal absurdity ? to abjure all these previous protestations and efforts for the general good of the Shipping Interest? to lend their assistance towards the subversion of a system they have ever, reverenced and maintained ? Alas ! it is not from their convictions such a concession could be obtained, But when the composition of the Committee is examined, when it is perceived that by far the greater part are Merchants, whose stake in shipping, though sufficient to countenance such an appointment, is so trifling, compared with that they have emlaarked in West India property, as would render the payment of gond freights to shipping an actual loss to themselves ; when it &recollected that the remainder, with very few exceptions, are etrailoyed by, and consequently dependent on them ; when these considerations receive their due weight ' it is not too much to b e f eare d t h at the real object of the Merchants is, by availing themselves of the almost unlimited influence they possess over a particular branch of the Shipping Interest, to procure the "co-operation of that branch in effecting' objects peculiarly their Own ; a co operation they could not hope to obtain, but-undet the appre hension of a deprivation of their patronage. " Divide et int pera," is the motto : the Ship Owners united have - been found too sturdy and unbending ; the apple of discord must therefore be thrown among them; and when a part of them have given their aid to the destruction of their own Pest' and most vital interests, they themselves will in turn be sacrificed. But I trust the ungenernus purpose will yet be defeated; that the ominous and unnatural .coalition of many powerful Merchants, with afere dependant Ship Owners, " for the protection of the 'West India Shipping Interest, " will yet be.averted ; ' a nd if p 9 t, th at t h e Legislature will be apprized that it is not the unbiassed voice of the British Shipping Interest that speaks, put the forced and unwilling representation of those who had na other alternative. Let Ship Owners depend upon themselves for , the defence of their own interests ; let them regard with jealousy and dis trust, those who would separate them from each other; and let them especially suspect the Tecommendathans.of those whose interests are so diametrically opposed to theirs,. however spe cious the pretence on which th e y cour t ,their alliance. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A 'WEST INDIA SHIP. OWNER. Jamaica Coffee Iloifse, March. 23, lfi22. • I SHROPSHIRE COUNTY MEETING. Monday'last a meeting of the Proprietors, Landholders, &c. of the county of Salop, was held in Shrewsbury, for the purpose of taking into their consideration the propriety of presenting a petition to Parliament on the present alarming and unparalleled state of Agricultural Distr6s. On the motion of the [Jon. G. BENNET, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon was called to the Chair. The meeting assembled in the Shire-hall, but it not being found sufficiently capacious, it was 'adjourned to the quarry..._ As soon as Mr. Kenyon had stated the object of the meet ing, J. C. Pelham, Esq. moved that it should adjourn, in consequence of many Peers and Commoners, who are the prin cipal owners of land in the county, being necessailly absent. The motion was put and negatived.—William Lloyd, Esq. of Aston, after noticing the state of agricultural distress and the inadequacy of the relief proposed by Ministers, read a copy of a petition to the House of Commons, stating that the petitioners were suffering under the most intense and unparal leled distress, and that, unless adequate and immediate relief was aflbrded, they could but contemplate the total destruction of their properties.--The reading of this Petition was received with great applause ; after which, William Owen, - Esq., of Woodhouse, the Hon. G. Bennet, W. Lacon Childe, Esq., R. A. Slaney, Esq., and Rowland Hill, Esq., spoke in favour of the petition.—Lord CLIVE and Sir Josew WROT TESLEY also addressed the meeting.--The petition was then put to the vote, and carried unanimously, with the exception of only two hands held up against it.—Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. The amount of Country Bankers' Notes. stamped for the year ending October 10, 1821, was X 3,347,202 ; and from the 10th October, 1021, to 9th March, 1822, the amount was £1,097;131.
