MAI, or THE MURDERERS OF CAPTAIN LUNE I SON AND OTHERS ON BOARD THE LIVERPOOL BARQUE HERALD.—. 4 the Hong Kong criminal sessions, on Sa turday, the 17th of April, twelve Portuguese seamen of the Herald were arraigned for the murder of Luke Law son, on the 28th October, 1851, on board the Herald. The circumstances of this atrocious affair will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The first count charged Va leria Fernandez with murdering Luke Lawson with a hatchet, the others aiding and abetting. The second count charged all the prisoners with murdering Luke Lawson by drowning. Whilst the vessel was on her voyage from Shanghae, the crew complained of the want of provisions and water; and one of them was struck by the captain for disobedience. "On Monday (said the principal witness) I informed the captain that the crew had an intention to murder all on board : this was while I was at the wheel, about ten a.m. After that the captain armed himself with two pistols, and he gave a pistol and a knife to each of the mates and the carpenter, and that night he (the captain) took away the knives belonging to the crew. I remember passing Anjer. Do not know bow many days we took to reach Anjer. Two nights after passing Anjer 1 was called on deck at one o'clock, by an order to 'about ship.' I came on deck ; and, when hauling at a brace, Corpos said, ' They are all dead.' He said, ' The cap tain and the mates are all dead—we shall have plenty to eat and drink.' After that Gabriel de los Santos called out to me for a bucket of water, which I took into the cabin, where I saw four dead bodies ; they were piled one above the other ; the captain's was the lowest. Two of the prisoners, V. Fernandez and M. Corpos, were sitting near the captain's wife in the cabin, armed with pistols, opposite the dead bodies; they were guarding her. The bodies I saw dragged out of the cabin ; the captain's body was dragged out by three or four of the prisoners. I was told by V. Fernandez that he had killed the captain—this was three or four days afterwards. He (Fernandez) said that every one of the others was afraid to go into the cabin, and he went in and killed him himself with a hatchet. The bodies were then thrown overboard." The prisoners pleaded in defence that they had been almost starved to death. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on the first count ; and the judge, after a feeling address, condemned all the prisoners to death. HAILSTORM AT MANCHESTER.—Yesterday afternoon week, considerable damage was done to property in the town and neighbourhood of Manchester by a storm of hail, accompanied with thunder and lightning. Property in Pendleton, Eccles, and Patricroft, appears to have suf fered most, and in these places mill and greenhouse win dows must have been destroyed to the extent of some thousands of pounds sterling. At Patricroft the storm commenced shortly before three o'clock, and the hail descended in crystallised pieces of ice, nearly the shape of pears. Messrs. Naysmith and Gaskell's works, called the Bridgewater Foundry, had between 2000 and 3000 squares of glass broken in the skylights over the sheds. Three of the hailstones picked up at Eccles weighed an ounce and three quarters. At Eccles the cotton mill of Messrs. John Chadwick and Brothers suffered to the extent of upwards of 500 squares of glass in the weaving sheds, besides glass broken in other parts of the mill. The silk mill of Mr. Thomas Ainsworth, also at Eccles, had from 1500 to 2000 squares of glass broken in the weaving sheds. Here the pieces of silk in the looms suf fered great damage, not only from the descending hail- DISTRICT NEWS WARRINGTON.

NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday week, as two young men were walking along the bank of the Sankey Canal, observing the towing rope of a flat lying loose, and the horse standing still, by way of joke, one of them took up the rope and threw it round the neck of his companion. Immediately the horse set off, the rope tightened, and the unfortunate fellow was nearly strangled, when fortunately the rope broke, and the impending result to the unthink. ing act was averted. For smite time, however, his life was despaired of, but he is now recovering.

The present consisted of a copy of the Holy Bible and Horne's . Introduction to the Critical Study of the Scriptures, in 5 vols., handsomely bound in blue morocco, with gilt edges. HAILSTORM.—On Monday afternoon one of the most severe storms of hail and rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, that has for a long time occurred, passed over this district. In the borough, although the hail stones were remarkably large, the storm was compara tively harmless ; but in the neighbouring villages in Cheshire it appears to have raged with great fury, break ing off the branches of trees, and doing immense damage to the fruit trees and vegetables of every sort, as well as to the hothouses and conservatories in nurseries and gardens within the range of its effects. At Appleton Hall, the seat of Thomas Gow, Esq., about 8,000 panes of glass were broken in the conservatories, &c. ; and at Grappenhall Heyes, the seat of Thomas Parr, Esq., extensive damage was done. At several places the hailstones were mea sured, and were found to range from three to four inches in circumference. At Walton, a gentleman was curious enough to pick up 15, which were found to weigh 18}oz.

About two-thirds of the glass in a hothouse, about 30 yards long, at the residence of Mr. R. Gardner, in Swinton-road, near Pendleton, was broken. A piece of ice, about three inches long, was found among the fragments of glass by the gardener ; and another large piece, which came through a kitchen window, struck the arm of a servant girl with great force, by which she was considerably frightened, and at first thought the limb was broken. The storm reached Pendleton about a quar ter past three o'clock, and hailstones were picked up measuring three inches in circumference. These fell with great force, and many persons struck by them were much hurt. In the weaving sheds of Sir Elkanah Armitage's mill, about 1500 squares of glass were broken ; and at his residence, which is near the mill, about 300 squares of glass in the greenhouse were broken. The darkness was so great during the storm that the machinery had to be stopped and the hands to leave off work. At the mill of Messrs. T. and J. Ashworth, Pendleton, about 1380 squares of glass were broken over the weaving sheds, and they describe the hailstones here as being conical-shaped and crystallised at the thicker end. Some of them were fully an inch in diameter. The storm did not reach Manchester until about four o'clock, but it lasted until nearly five. The upper part of a chimney belonging to the Old Quay Carrying Company, at their premises on the left bank of the Irwell, in Water-street, Manchester, was struck by the lightning at about half-past four o'clock. About 30 feet of the chimney, which was about 75 feet high, was torn entirely down, and fell through the roof of a four-story warehouse below and an engine -house adjoining.

On Thursday Mrs. Hayes was presented by Dr. Brindley, in the name of the parishioners, with the portrait of her husband. The children of the national school were after wards regaled with tea and buns, and the evening con cluded by the children singing several hymns, anthems, and " God save the Queen." TARVIN V DEATH BY FALLING FROM A ROCK.—A most afflicting circumstance has just taken place near Nevin, Pwllheli, North Wales. A boy about thirteen years old, son of Mr. David Ellis, master of the sloop Mary, of Nevin, went with a companion to a high rock in the locality, in order to gather seagulls' eggs, which abound in the clefts of the rock. The boy did not take the precaution of using ropes, and, intent on his pursuit, the unfortunate deceased missed his footing, and was precipitated down the precipice. He fell from a terrific height into the Bay of Posthdinllaen, and his body has not yet been found. SHOPLIFTING.—On Tuesday, Sabina Fagan and Ellen Kendall were brought before Mr. J. S. Jackson, at the Birkenhead Police-court, charged with stealing shawls from the shop of Mr. Owen, draper, Chester-street, Birkenhead, and two pair of stays from the shop of Mr. Gracie, pawnbroker, Ivy-street. The prisoners had gone into the shops to price the articles, but being watched at Mr. Owen's, one was apprehended with several shawls and a pair of stays under her arm, and the other was taken into custody at Woodside Ferry, with the other pair of stays in her possession; Both were committed to the sessions.

FIRST RACE OF THE FIRST-CLASS YACHTS OF THE BIRKENHEAD YACHT CLUB.—On Thursday, the first race of the first-class yachts of the Birkenhead club took place on our river, under circumstances which imparted to it a peculiar interest. The model yacht club, it is per haps not sufficiently known, has been set on foot for the purpose of testing, upon an economical scale, the capabili ties of vessels built or rigged upon particular models, suggested by scientific men ; and, on this occasion, it was known that a crack specimen of the American builders' art had been imported by Mr. Grinnell, jun., of the firm of Bowman and Grinnell, with a view to compete for the prize offered by the club. The competing vessels in the race were :-Ist. The Fairy Queen, 2 tons, cutter, J. Parkings, Esq. ; 2nd. The Polly and Ann, schooner. 5 tons. J. Holme, Esq. ; 3rd. The Truant, sloop, 31 tons, R. W. Grinnell, Esq. ; 4th. Quiz, sloop, 3 tons, Com modore. At half-past two o'clock the signal gun was fired, and the yachts started in the following order—the Quiz, which was to leeward, first ; the American boat, Truant, second; the schooner third ; and the Fairy Queen last. There was little wind prevailing, and from the first it was clear that the American boat would be the victor. She is a beautiful model, drawing only about four inches, without a hollow line in her build, but with a breadth of beam enabling her to carry a large amount of sail. She is, in fact, a perfect scallop; and in a sea would have been very shortly hors de combat. When opposite the llercu laneum Potteries, Mr. Laird's boat and the American were abreast of each other, the former keeping on the Cheshire shore, and the Fairy Queen overhauling the schooner. Opposite Bebbington the American boat went ahead, the light wind favouring a vessel of the kind ; and at Eastham the following was the time of rounding the boat moored for the purpose : H. M. S. Truant ...... ....... 3 6 8 Quiz . ••••• Polly and Ann Fairy Queen. The course was from Eastham to the Potteries ; and a boat stationed there was rounded by the American boat at 3h. 48m. 215., the remainder of the fleet being a long way astern. The result of the race was as follows : H. M. S. American boat (Truant)... Quiz Peggy and Ann......... Fairy Queen... It was remarked, during the trial, that Mr. Laird's boat was impeded during her sailing by a yacht to windward of her, belonging to the fleet of the Liverpool Royal Mersey Yacht Club. At the conclusion of the match the Ame rican boat, the winner, came abreast of the steamer which bad carried the Commodore and a select party of friends, and Mr. Grinnell, the owner of the Truant, was presented by the Commodore, Mr. H. Laird, with two goblets as the prize. Mr. Laird, in making the presentation, referred to the family of Mr. Grinnell, who had, at their own cost, sent out vessels to aid in discovering the locality in which Sir John Franklin was left in the Arctic regions; and said that, although they were happy in having to give the prize to an American vessel, as they hailed the Americans as brethren, yet they hoped in time to be able to maintain the superiority of the mother country. Mr. Grinnell briefly addressed the ladies and gentlemen present, and the cups were afterwards plentifully " hanselled" with champagne. Docx CossuirrEß.—On Thursday, at the weekly meeting of this body, 'Hr. Charles Turner, the chairman, presided, and the other members present were Messrs. Shand, Molyneux, Robinson, Brocklebank, Gregson, Steele, Hall, Barber, Chalaner, Claxton, Lockett, Hol den, Rankin, Bold, Tebin, and Royden.—A gratuity of £5 was voted to the widow of Thomas Tomlinson, who had been seven years under the surveyor, and died of fever last month.—lt was- agreed that tenders for clothing the dock gatemen should be obtained, and each man sup plied with a sou'-wester.—Mr. Bold, who had returned from London on the previous night, at the chairman's request stated the result of the opposition to the Birken head Dock Bill. The promoters had agreed at last, after seven weeksropposition, ta withdraw all the clauses pre judicial to the interest of the Liverpool dock trust.—On the application of the watch committee, the sub-commit tee of works were instructed to make arrangements for a force of the dock gatemen and dock workmen being sworn in as- special constables prior to the day of elec tion.—A letter was read from the Rev. David James, of Kirkdale. This called to recollection that the trust had made a grant of £5O last year, to meet a similar grant from the Earl of Derby, towards religious ser vice on the north shore, for worlsmen employed on the north docks. The result had been satisfactory. A young English clergyman had been appointed ; two services were held each Sunt ) .ay, in a room licensed for the purpose by the bishop, and there was likewise a week-clay service. Both day and Sunday schools had also been established for the workmen's children. The fol this month total the can en ta)sen o'n the north docks was 650 letter conct township of ,rstry ; a were all Prote iese schools w g tor tue reuewm ut L ear.—After a 5 - 11ott. discussion, grant for snot was vote-.aor. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. THE THEATRES.—The season at the Theatre-royal terminated last week, but the company and the whole of the rich scenery, properties, &c., prepared for Miss Van denboli's play of Truman'a Heart, Lave been removed to the Amphitheatre, where it will be produced twice this week, with the same caste as before. The piece selected for this (Tuesday) evening is Richelieu. THE MEMBERS OF THE LITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY entertained Mr. Barry Sullivan at a public dinner, at Mr. Whiteman's, Brunswick Hotel, in Hanover-street, on Saturday. After the cloth was drawn, and the usual loyal toasts given, the chairman, proposing the health of their guest, Mr. Barry Sullivan, presented him with a beautifully written address, engrossed by the honorary secretary, Mr. J. F. Tafe, and a copy of Kenny Meadows's Shakspeare, in three volumes. ALBONI has arrived out at the States by the Hermann, but it is not her intention to sing for a few months. FANNY ELSSLE the favourite danseuse, has married a Dr. Hahn ; with Ile stipulation, however, that she shall retain her maiden name. MISS LOUISA PYNE, the first of English vocalists, we regret to learn, is suffering from congestion of the brain, caused, it is said, by over exertion in her profession. MADLLE. WAGNER has given "submission" in the case of " Lumley v. Wagner and others," to the full extent of the prayer of the bill which Mr. Lumley had filed against them, and they now offered to pay all the costs of the suit, and consented to the injunction. The restraint imposed by the writ of injunction in this case would not extend beyond the period during which Madlle. Wagner had bound herself not to sing at any other theatre than that of Mr. Lumley. MADAME GOLDSCHMIDT (Jenny Lind) has sailed for Hamburg; after declining every proposition made to her to sing in this country. Mademoiselle 'Wagner, also, has taken her departure. after having effected a compromise of the dispute with Mr. Lumley, by consenting to the in junction being made perpetual (which means to subsist during her engagement with him), and agreeing to pay his costs of suit. We hope the fair prima donna has not been frightened away from us altogether, and that she will return next year under happier auspices. THE SOCIAL STATUS OF THE MUSICIAN.—When a man is named to us as a medical practitioner, we can pretty well assign to him his proper grade in the scale of social rank. When a man is spoken of as a lawyer, we at once invest him in idea with certain professional appendages, and accord to him a rank among the variety of civil occupations. When we hear of a divine, we become immediately aware of his position, and know at once how to address, if occa sion be, our letters to him. But when people speak to us in general terms of a musician, we are perfectly at a loss as to his station in society. We know not whether he is a person of any mark and weight. We cannot even tell whether he belongs to the respectable classes—whether he pertains to the educated order of men—or, whether his musical quality is claimed in virtue of an ability to mani pulate a flute, in the public ways, to lacerate an unhappy psalm-tune on the violoncello, or by a familiar gyratory process to give an airing, one by one, to a number of tunes shut up in a box. And yet the art of the musician —the musical art—is, and always has been reckoned, one of the liberal arts. By that designation were originally intended those arts which afforded fit occupation for free men, or, to translate into modern ideas as well as phrase ology, arts which become the gentleman. It is an art which requires a long and laborious preparatory educa tion, more so than most of those which confer rank and estimation upon their professors. It is founded upon tr profound basis of mathematical truth. It has, like lay-- guage, its grammar—grammar with a scheme of bold in novations and well-deliberated infractions, analagous to. an extensive system of rhetorical figures—all which re quires that the sun should be watched down, and the stars flouted with the midni.ght lamp, through consecutive years ; that scores of dusty volumes and volumes of in tricate scores should be successively evolved ; and that the whole should be topped up with a manual dexterity equi valent to that command of limb which enables the funam bulist to pirouette upon the tight-rope, or the balance master to sustain on the point of his chin the pole whose gentle undulations- keep the plate at its extremity in a con dition constantly to illnstrate•the " vis c.entrifuga " which Sir Isaac Newton so learnedly expounds . In short, it is the laborious- and absorbing nature of his endless studies, which makes- the ill.understood musical student insensible of his own whereabouts amongst his fellows, and leaves his existence an enigma to others. and to himself a discord of suspension, the resolution of which is to be found either in eternal fame--or in bedlam ! The tendency of recent events, however, is manifestly towards the re-organisation of a system which may give to music, in its place among the liberal arts, a due civil and social preponderance. Pro fessors manifest a desire to claim—and we cannot see a shadow of a reason why they should not—that considera tion which is universally admitted to be due to educated men. Society is quite willing to admit the distinguished few to its highest grade but while the general public seem even yet scarcely to know what to make of the pol 10—the undistinguished multitude—whether to consider them as "fish or flesh, or good red herring," a certain class of people, very estimable in themselves, and upon whom we would not wish to imply even a covert censure, are apt to indulge themselves in speaking of musical peo ple as erring mortals ought not to speak of their fellows. While we profess, as we feel the most profound respect for their extreme sensitiveness on the subject of moral appearances, they must still bear to be reminded, in the words of an eminent divine, that they err, if they suppose e they are igious, t t to be cordial recognition of the. fe to the ac on. at least DL Col v was s Bench about to 't be afforded to emigration by the co-operation of the local Legislatures in Australia in facilitating the recovery of loans advanced in England, Sir J. PAKINGTON, admitting the importance of the sub ject, to which be had given his attention, doubted whether any action of colonial legislation could remove the exist ing difficulty. On the order for going into committee upon the Valua tion (Ireland) Bill, Mr, F. SCULLY urged the postpone ment of the measure until next session, and moved that the committal of the bill be deferred for three months. — Mr. MONSELL, feeling deeply the evils which the bill was intended to remedy, opposed this motion, which, after some observations from Sir D. NORREYS and Mr. V. SCULLY in opposition to the bill, and from Sir W. So- MERVILLE in its favour, was withdrawn, and the house „cub 141.) ”1.11.1, were agreed to, after debate. The Nisi Prius Officers Bill, the Common Law Proce dure Bill (with further amendments), and the Master in Chancery Abolition Bill, were each read a third time and passed. Other bills were advanced a stage, and the house ad journed at a quarter past one o'clock. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23. COLONIAL ECCLESIASTICAL LAWS In a committee upon colonial ecclesiastical laws, Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the chairman be directed to ask leave to bring in a bill to relieve bishops, clergy, and laity in the colonies, in communion with the church of England, in respect to legal doubts or disabilities affecting the management of their church affairs. Mr. Gladstone replied to the objections urged by Sir J. Pakiogton to his former bill, which he characterized as exaggerated and in consistent. One of these objections was, that the bill would destroy the supremacy of the Crown, which was not only unfounded but ridiculous, because the bill required subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, which set forth the supremacy of the Crown, and he proposed to leave that doctrine or principle to be asserted as it stood in the articles, the colonies having the option to determine whether they would assert that doctrine as it was asserted in the articles, or in the form of an oath. He did this upon the principle that all but imperial questions should be left to the colonists. A point had been raised, whether the synods or conventions should be subject to the veto of the Crown : that was for Parliament to decide. He explained various amendments he had made in the bill, which he designed to make merely re lieving and permissive, and wished, he said, to have it reprinted. that it might be sent to the colonies in a correct shape.—Sir J. PAKINGTON defended himself with some warmth against certain reflections made upon him by Mr. Gladstone, and justified the objections he had urged against the original bill. He did not oppose the motion for leave to bring in the new bill, and if he found, after communication with the colonies, that it was calculated to bring about an improved state of things, and was free from all objections upon other grounds, no one, he said, would be more ready than he to support it. To obviate an objection in point of form suggested by the chairman, the words of the motion were altered, and the resolution was for a bill to explain and amend the laws relating to the church of England in the colonies.—Mr. HORSMAN complained that Mr. Gladstone's mode of proceeding had not been open and direct. His former speech and his bill were at variance; the latter disclosed a snare.—Sir W. P. Wool) censured Mr. Horsman for his habitual imputation of motives to those who differed from him. The declared object of Mr. Gladstone in this bill, he observed, was to place the church of England in the colonies in precisely the same situation as other religious bodies.—Mr. BUTT thought the measure went very far beyond giving a power of organization to the church of England in the colonies, where it would break up the unity of that church.—The resolution was then agreed to, and leave was given to bring in the bill. THE AMEERS OF SCINDE Lord JOCELYIs7, in moving for papers relating to• a charge- preferred against Meer Ali Moored, Ameer of Upper Scinde, of having made fraudulent alterations- in the treaty of Nownahur, concluded between him and the late Meer Roostum Khan, entered at some length into details which, in his opinion, bore upon the condition of the ex-rulers of Scinde, once the faithful allies of the British Government in India, now captives in a foreign land. He moved for these documents, he said, on behalf of the ex-Ameers, believing that the matters which had been brought to light with reference to the conduct of Ali Moorad Khan placed at the disposal of the Govern ment means of repairing the injury done to those Princes. llis lordship gave a detail of the intrigues which had been carried on by Ali Moored Khan against the Ameers of- Lower Scinde, and shewed the irritation which they had• created. He did not ask,. nor did these unfortunate Princes ask to be replaced upon their thrones as rulers, but merely to be allowed to visit their native land.—Sir R. Ik&Lss felt it to be an honour and a privilege to se cond the motion, believing this to be a case of great oppression.—Mr. BAILLIE obse►ved that the speech of Lord Jocelyn had little connexion with his notice. The policy of the conquest of Scinde and the deposition of the Ameers had received the sanction and . r m,bation of the Government, and of that house. Mr. Baillie was about to state the views of the Indian Government respecting the ex-Ameers, when, it being on the verge of six o'clock, at the suggestion of Mr. HERRIF.S, the debate was. ad journed until Thursday. _ _ THURSDAY, JUNE 24. At the morning sitting, several bills were read a third time and passed ; others were advanced a stage.

THE EARL OF MAYO has been elected a Representa tire Peer of Ireland, in the room of the late Baron Dun sany. Mn. ROEBUCK, in a letter to a friend at Sheffield, states that his articulation h now ri;lit again, and that his weak ness is greatly diminished. THE VEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.-Mr. Cobden has addressed the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire. He says that the cause of the possession of office by the present administration " must be sought in the imperfec tions of our electoral system, which seems to be inge niously contrived to prevent the majority in Parliament from reflecting with ease and accuracy the opinions of the majority of the nation." Kesu's LYNN.—Lord Stanley has addressed his con stituents in explanation of his opinions. He concludes his address by saying—" The financial system of the present Government has already been partially announced ins Parliament. It is I think unquestionable, that by the ope ration of the tariff of 1846 an unduly large proportion of the public burdens has been thrown upon the land. Such was certainly the opinion of Sir Robert Peel, who, in re pealing the Corn Laws, proposed compensating measures, which have not been carried into effect by his successors. With regard to a tax on the importation of foreign corn, I cannot consider it as in principle more objectionable than any other impost falling on the public at large. But in questions of taxation especially the feeling of the people is to be considered ; and I have no hesitation in saying tilt& I believe that feeling to be such as to render the imposi tion of any protective duty impossible. It is to economy in the national expenditure, and revision of the national taxation, that the farmers of England must look for the amelioration of their present condition." MR. MACKENZIE IN LIVERPOOL. On Thursday last, Mr. Mackenzie arrived in Liverpool for the purpose of proceeding with his personal canvas; and in the evening he attended a meeting of the commit tee in Lime-street Ward. On Friday evening, Mr. Mac kenzie, witis Mr. Turner, and an influential body of their committee and friends, attended a meeting of the ship wrights, in their Hall, Bond-street, to hear from those gentlemen an exposition of their views. The room was well filled. The following were among the gentlemen who accompanied Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie:—Messrs. Francis Shand, John Lockett, James Tyrer, J. A. Tobin, G. H. Horsfall, G. W. Moss, Duncan Gibb, W. Fisher, jun., James Robertson, Arthur Fletcher, Wm. Higson, Alex. Shand, John Higson, Lawrence Peel, Thos. Bold, Richard Locliett, William Huson, William Rowett, J. Watham, J. Ross, &c., &c. The candidates, on their arrival, were loudly cheered, and each presented with a bouquet, consisting of a rose and oak lcaf, the emblem, it was said, of the shipwrights of the town.—Mr. M'Kay, an operative shipwright and president of the association, took the chair, and briefly introduced Mr. Mackenzie to the meeting.—Mr. Mackenzie, who was cheered on pre senting himself, made one of the longest and most fluent speeches which he has yet delivered in Liverpool. .fie daus-altlhyein ir i t . i e n a c s h e e d st i e n r school invariably did. stated that he felt confident of the result of the election, r e thatth e a votes ß ri: but he was, l of the navigatiou laws repealed ; while, at the same time. he felt con tat ha h ee for n n t a o v o i the a c i z, • benefiti e o d h i t l a f o l: g is that it would greatly damage the shipping interest, above all things, own individual i tsovtNi i n ihtfi srnneihte should hnphei statesman euendi reference complained nootst:elihrelis''eeplSywatuortwifdogt was :hot: shipwrights l e gsogionunhur p gf the eactn r adrLd o etne v i aocv e hsoteP d ei rumrtipeonno oPoer link l increasealfYaon. foreign i tgbon i n hisshipping ievenunder the pinintegrehstadonglrya, f which was paramount in this port.

It was a grievance that American ships should be permitted t the British to carry, on the same terms as vessels, British emigrants to Australia. He could not promise the restoration of the navigation l aws; but he thought it possible to mitigate the evils caused by their repeal. As to the corn laws, he considered that they could not be restored, and that appeared to be the opinion of every member of the government.
