Eiberpoot :tanbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1853. THE SHIPPING INTEREST MR. CARDWELL'S STATEMENT. THE important question of the grievances said to affect the Shipping interest was brought before the House of Commons on Monday, last week, by Mr. CARDWELL, the President of the Board of Trade, and introduced with such a flourish as to lead to the belief that the re iected of Liverpool was the coming man, whose consummate skill and masterly comprehension of the whole subject were to place the Shipowners of Great Britain upon the coveted pinnacle of un alloyed prosperity and calm content. Under the humble guise of a Committee on Pilotage, the aspiring statesman did not confine himself to this simple point, but at once avowed his intention to state the views of the Government with regard to the mercantile marine ; and in order to accomplish this purpose, said it would be necessary to trespass at some length upon the time of the Committee. Upon the present state and prospects of the Shipping Interest, he talked of unexampled pros perity, but prudently admitted 'that it was no part of his duty to account for it. He left it to be in ferred that the repeal of the Navigation Laws had had a beneficial effect, because that was a portion of his party's free-trade policy-; but he made no allusion to the impetus given to emigration by the gold discoveries in California and Australia, because that would have been inconvenient, and incon venient truths are better kept out of view. He had, however, the statement of the preceding CHAN CELLOR of the EXCH.E•QUER before him, with all the benefit of the discussions it had undergone, and he was emulous of creating a rival sensation. He had, therefore, a long list of heads upon which he was about to treat ; and anxious they should gain in number what they were deficient in substance, announced them as:—.l. Lights.; .2. Passing-tolls; 3. Management of the Mercantile Marine; 4. Vo luntary Enlistment in the Navy ; Salvage ;6. Desertion; 7. Fees to Consuls.; and S, Pilotage. It may be thought -that out of such a list of .zubjects affecting the mercantile marine, the Minister was prepared with a scheme from which the parties chiefly interested could derive some prospect of improvement:; but an impartial -examination of the official manifesto will show how little is to be expected from the wisdom of "all the talents." On the first head, he entered into an elaborate eulogy of the excellent manner in s‘hich the funds raised by Light-dues had been ad ministered by the Trinity hoard ; and then, as a proof of Whig-Radical appreciation, proposed that in-future the expenditure should be under the con trol-of the Government ; but not one word as to the reduction of Light-dues. •So that the exoellent management may be lost to the country, from the responsibility being removed from competent hands to an incompetent Minister, with not the slightest promise of any countervailing advantages, but the gratification of the truly Radical anxiety to inter fere with every existing arrangement. He did not, neglect, however, to show his own share in the transaction, by reading to the House the letter signed "EDWARD CARDWEL , L," addressed to Prince A;,I3ERT, as Master of the Trinity-house. Upon the second head, Mr. CARDWELL was not prepared to :-state anything more than that there were difficulties in the way of adopting the sugges tion of the late CHANCELLOR Of the E.N.GHEQUER ; and all he proposed was inquiring,, without doing anything. Upon the third head, applying to the present restriction, by which the crew of a British ship is required to consist of three-fourths British subjects, his proposition In.d all to do with the Shipowner, and nothing with the British Seaman, but to throw hiss into further ecunpetition with ;the foreigner. To prove a boon to the former, it must prove a dis advantage to the latter; but this Mr. CARDWELL denied, upon the singe authority of a letter from our - Consul at Christiana, who said that the Nor wegian crews were better fed than the British. And upon this the Minister sapiently remarks that, 6 - whether true or not, it was the opinion of a comrn petent witness, and was certainly calculated to assuage the alarm of those who were afraid, lest the interests of the British sailor should suffer by this change." It would be a waste of words to argue against suchtrash being advanced before intelligent men, as a reason for throwing British seamen, as well as British ships., open to unrestricted competition. The fourth head refers to the existing right of any of the crew of ta merchant vessel in a distant port to leave his ship, and enlist in a man-of-war. ),fr. CARDWELL is not prepared to abolish the privilege, but proposed to provide that, if a positive loss fall upon a ship by these volunteering ; h e should be entitled to compensation from the funds of the Admiralty. _ _ Upon the question of salvage, which formed th e fifth head, we showed some time since, in comment ing on Mr. DISRAELI'S plan to abolish the right to salvage by the Royal Navy, that it would not only be an injustice to the naval service, but a positive disadvantage to the mercantile marine, who might be deprived of such assistance when most wanted. Mr. CARDWELL has pursued a wiser course than that of his predecessor, by proposing to deprive the salvors of the peremptory lien upon the ship assisted, so that she should not be de tained in a foreign port, leaving the amount of salvage to be decided upon by the Admiralty Court, in London. This is about the only reasonable or intelligible item in the whole marine budget, and, after all, amounts to very little. Upon the sixth head, the President of the Board of Trade offered no explanations. All he could say was, that a Bill was in preparation, intended to remedy the grievances to which the Shipowners, especially in Australia, were exposed to by the desertions caused by the gold discoveries. A mea sure effectual for this purpose would be a boon, but in the absence of all details, and knowing how little Whig-Radical promises are realised by their performances, we must be content to wait for the Bill itself before placing any confidence upon a re medy being in prospect. His statement upon the seventh head was, if possible, more unsatisfactory. He said there were some erroneous impressions on the subject of fees to Consuls, but the power rested with the Foreign office, and Lord CLARENDON had promised to redress the complaint if he found it well founded ; Mr. CARDWELL, therefore, hoped the Shipping interest would be satisfied that there was no indisposition on the part of the Government to do what was just. After all these preliminary statements, which it will be seen amount in substance to very little, Mr. CARDWELL approached the question of Pilotage— the ostensible object of his motion, which was for leave to bring in a Bill. The vested rights of the Thames and Cinque Ports Pilots he proposed to preserve, but, at the same time, to amalgamate the two bodies under the same control. With reference to the Mersey Pilots, he stated the hard ships to coasters and steamships in being compelled to have a Pilot when the masters were competent to take their vessels in and out of port without such assistance ; and referring to the Act of 1849, by which Pilotage authorities were empowered to con fer on masters and mates the power to pilot their vessels, by granting them a certificate of compe tence, said that no persuasion had been sufficient to induce the Pilotage authorities at Liverpool to enter on that question, owing to the opinion of - the law officers of the Crown—that, by the provisions of the local act of Liverpool, it was not in their com petence to do so. He, therefore, proposed to confer on the Board of Trade the providing for the case. The same means were also to be used to get over the difficulties at the Severn. The whole project may therefore be briefly stated to be the conferring upon Mr. CARDWELL himself, as President of the Board of Trade, the power, as he stated it, to over-ride all local acts, in order that local bodies might be enabled to make concessions to the mer cantile marine. In the subsequent discussion several members bore testimnny to the great value and efficiency of the Liverpool Pilots—a position which few will attempt to dispute. We may fairly ask, however, after all the promised improvement upon Mr. DISRAELI'S plan, in what respect the Shipping interest have reason to be thankful for the change of Ministry, or wherein will the British Shipowner receive any benefit which will not be shared by the foreigner who frequents our ports? It is plain that the ABERDEEN Cabinet thoughtthey must do something to allay the dissatisfaction which they cannot deny prevails amongst the Ship ping interest; and Mr. CARDWELL has been put forward with a speech, in which high-sounding phrases, vague promises, and pretended sympathy are to form the remedy for acknowledged grievances. The following is an analysis of the new Pilotage Bill, which was brought into the House of Com mons on Tuesday 1— 1. Repeal of so much of 4 Geo. 4, c. 125, as relates to Cinque Port pilots, and of the whole of 9 Geo. 4, c. 86. 2. The Trinity-house may license pilots for the passage from Dungeness or the Downs inwards as well as out wards. '3. Present Cinque Port pilots to be competent to pilot vessels either inwards or outwards in the limits for which they are now licensed. 4. The above-mentioned Cinque Port pilots to be subject to the same rules, &c. as Trinity-house pilots. 5. Present Trinity-house pilots may pilot ships inwards within the limits of their licenses. 6. Provision for a constant supply of pilots at Dungeness, under regulations to be made by the Trinity-house. 7. Vessels coming past Dungeness, and not having a pilot on hoard, to take the first qualified pilot who offers. 8. Rates tote demanded for , cluties hitherto performed by Cinque Port pilots. 9. Provision with regard to the Pilots' Funds. 10. Power to the Board of Trade to examine and grant pilotage certificates to masters and mates, on the pilotage authorities refusing to do so under 12 and 13 Viet., c.. 88. 11. Fees upon such licenses. 12. Power to withdraw certificates. 13. Pilots to make returns of their earnings to bodies by whom they are licensed. 14. Pilot age bodies to make full returns to the Board of Trade of various particulars connected with pilotage. 15. If any of the local bodies fail to give the required returns, they may be deprived of their authority, and the power of ap pointing pilots shall vest in the Trinity-house. 16. Re turns to be laid before Parliament. 17. Powers of mak ing alterations in the system of pilotage, of reducing rates, of extending exemptions, &c., with consent of her Ma jesty in Council , 18 . No new sub-commissioners to be appointed, and no pilotage district to be extended, with out consent of her Majesty in Council. 19. Trinity-house regulations to be approved by her Majssty in Council, instead of 'by the Chief Justice. 20. Such Orders in Council to be laid before Parliament. THE ELECTION COMMITTEES UNSEATING OF MEMBERS. THE number of Members of the House of Com mons who have been unseated by Election Com mittees, on the ground of bribery and corruption, has called forth a vast amount of virtuous horror, particularly on the part of those pretenders to purity—the Whig-Radicals. It might be imagined, from the result of the several investigations which have already taken place, and the number of cases which are waiting their turn to be heard, that the Electoral Constituency of Great Britain had become suddenly corrupt; that the last General Election was the climax of impurity; and that now it is the duty of every honest man to lift up his hands when ouch deeds are named, and wonder Is ho could do The most absurd part of the affair, how ever, is, that the greater portion of this simulated indignation comes from the Liberal party, albeit theic own friends have been as deeply dragged through the mire as their opponents. It is no easy nor pleasant task to attempt a justification or palliation of acts which appear to excite such very commendable opprobrium ; yet, it would only be fair, before joining in such sweeping condemnation, to examine a little into the circumstances, and ascer tain what are the facts which are sought to be con demned. Scarcely a borough election takes place in which we do not hear from the Radical side the loudest professions of their purity of intentions, and their determination to pay nothing beyond the legal expenses. They have such a high sense of the independence of the electors, that they scorn to tempt their cupidity, even by the bribe of refresh ments, and all the purity is on their side. But mark the cause. The Reform Act not only gave a preponderance in numbers to the representatives of small towns, but endowed with the franchise a class of men the least fitted, by social position and intellectual ability, to maintain the integrity of the Constitution. The majority are men the most easily biassed by the declamations of loud-promising demagogues—the most willing tools of agitators,— and the most ready supporters of any candidate who holds out to them hopes of cheap bread, though at the ruin of their best customers ; and of reduced taxation, though at the hazard of national bankruptcy, and the destruction of the national defences. They need no tangible bribery, for they are more effectually bribed with promises of im practicable benefits ; and well, therefore, may their party leaders profess a purity which suits so well their pockets and their purposes. On the other hand, if the supporters of the Constitution are un willing that the interests of the State should be sur rendered into such unworthy hands, what have they to oppose to such magniloquent promises as form the stock-in-trade of the other side ? They cannot promise greater benefits; for those whom they address know not how to appreciate the blessings of good government, which implies a certain amount of self-denial on the part of the governed. Their only resource is to give up the contest, with all its contingencies, or make their appeal in the only way in which it is intelligible, The law conferred a power on those who are unfit to be entrusted with it ; and the only choice is, the material present advantage of the one side, or the delusions of the other; both indefensible in them selves, but the latter by far the most mischievous. This position of the case is upon the assumption, which we by no means admit, that the Conservatives have been most guilty of bribery, and that the Radicals are as pure in their electioneering practices as their organs would have us believe. The fact, however, is directly the reverse, and the majority of cases which have been tried prove that, while Con servatives have generally repudiated the use of corrupt means, the Radicals have entered into the contest with a determination to gain the return either fairly or foully. Refraining from bribery has been with them a mere question of economy; but where false promises have failed to operate, they have not hesitated to resort to those tangible in ducements, the effect of which none know so well how to estimate. We have, however, taken an extreme view of the case, on the suppositon that all that has been alleged of the extent of corruption—to use the strongest phrase—at the last Election, is true. If we confine our attention, however; to that which has actually been proved at the recent inves tigations, we shall find that it amounts to a com paratively small proportion. It would appear, indeed, as though the committees had suddenly been seized with a mania for the strictest purity, and determined to unseat every member who had paid more for his election than the cost of the polling-booths and printing his addresses. Even in the case of Derby, which was held up to public odium as a hotbed of corruption, and our respected townsman, Mr. HORSFALL, made the mark for every petty scribbler to point at, the committee were compelled to admit—while they• deprived him of his seat—that not only was no instance of bribery proved against him, but that it was proved to their satisfaction that he had not Leen guilty of any. It may be well for Lord JOHN RUSSELL to vaunt that, by the present system, the investigation was beyond the influence of party feeling, but who will believe it, after most of the recent decisions, wherein elec tions have been declared void for the most paltry acts, alleged by the most doubtful testimony, and involving little more than the expenditure of a few shillings ? It were a consummation devoutly to be wished, that a stop could be put to the purchase of votes, but it will not be by straining at a gnat, and following the example of Sir JAMES HOGG, who, when Chairman of the Nottingham Election Com mittee, a few years since, unseated the late Mr. 'ALTER, of The Times, because a sum under Thirty Shillings had been paid to some half-dozen voters. The House of Commons, however, in their newly acquired virtue, which seems to sit so uneasily on them, have not been content with acting upon the decisions of their several Committees, but seem desirous of doing more. In the majority of in stances the evidence has been ordered to be printed, further inquiries are threatened, and, in the mean time, the new writs have been suspended, in order that a wholesome dread of disfranchisement may operate as a warning, or be held as a rod in terrorem over the many innocent for the faults of the few guilty. This is a device suggested by the proceed ings taken with Sudbury and St. Alban's ; and while there may be few cases in which it could be applied with justice, the threat appears to be indis criminately resorted to, although all that has been proved applies to the few black sheep to be found in almost every fold. It may not be difficult to discover a motive for this extraordinary zeal for the disfranchise ment of alleged corrupt boroughs. Every such dis franchisement will create a vacancy in the number of the House of Commons as fixed by the Reform Act ; and it may be that when the time shall be thought fit for filling up the list, there will be a struggle of parties for bestowing the coveted privilege of return ing representatives on such places as present the fairest prospect of augmenting the strength of the party who happen to be in the majority. Like the struggle in a Town Council to return the aldermen, it will be the means of giving strength to the strongest party. Let us admit, however, for the sake of argument, that something must be done to interpose a more effectual check, than has hitherto been the case, to the practice of bribery at elections; it might be accomplished in a far easier and more simple way than by the expensive and dilatory process of com mittees of the House of Commons. There needs no inquiry into the vague generalities which make up the wholesale charges of systematic corruption. If every voter who was proved to have received a bribe were punished with disfranchisement, the number of electors would be proportionately di minished, and the extent of the diminution might determine the fate of the borough. This course, moreover, need not be involved in the costly pro cess of a Parliamentary Committee, wherein many would escape in order to avoid the expense of pro secuting them ; but it might form a fitting subject for investigation at the Registration Courts. Ob jections might be made to any voter who had taken a bribe at the previous election, and upon proof being made to the satisfaction of the Revising Bar rister, he should be empowered to expunge the offender's name from the register. This would operate far more effectually to purify the consti tuency than any plan now pursued ; the e would be but trifling, for the necessary witnesses would be on the spot ; and all that would be re quired would be an additional number of barristers to perform the extra duty thus imposed upon them THE DERBY ELECTION COMNIITTEE AND MR. HORSFALL. THE enquiry into the proceedings at the late election for Derby—which excited so much noto riety from the preliminary investigation into the charges against Major BERESFORD—has at length terminated, and the committee have decided on transferring the seat of Mr. HORSFALL to his oppo nent, Mr. lIEYwoRTH. It is, however, gratifying to be able to state, in justification of the high and honourable character of our respected townsman, that the committee completely exonerated him frorn any participation whatever in the illegal transactions which led to the loss of his seat. What had been done was not only without his sanction or know ledge, but expressly against his will; yet under the circumstances, the committee had, perhaps, no other alternative than to strike from the poll those votes which, through the treachery of paid,agents and the injudicious zeal of partizans, had been gained for corrupt motives. Mr. HORSFALL, how ever, manfully declared his willingness to undergo the ordeal of an examination, both by himself and his attorney, and the following evidence was given upon oath. Mr. HORSFALL said : recollect receiving an invitation to become a candidate for Derby. It came from Mr. Lewis. I was first applied to at the end of May. I was afterwards waited upon by a deputation from Derby. Mr. Lewis, the late Mr. Arousely, and Mr. Bowden, formed the deputation. They pro posed that they would pay the whole of my expenses, if I was defeated. T declined those term s, but said that I would enter on the contest and pay my own expenses, but that I would not sanction anything but the legal expenses. I produce a letter which I wrote to Mr. Lewis. (The letter was put in. It stated that Mr. Horsfall would not, either b y himself or his a g en ts , coun tenance any bribery , an d expressing his suspicion th a t , when the parties at Der b y asked for £1,500, he thought something more than the legal expenditure was contem plated, but he wou ld be ready to aaldsvoanpcuetn Xi 7, in Bich hes 9. A letter w from Arr. Lewis. in answer, was agreed with Mr. Horsfall that £750 would be quite suffi cient.) I took Mr. Forsbaw with me as nay a gen t. I was not at all aware of any bribery corrupt practices going on at Derby, nor had I the s latest suspicion of anything of the kind. I remittei £BOO to Derby before the election ? with instructiouo that it should be drawn upon by Mr. Forshaw only. It was sent to W. Cox and Sons—not the lead works, but the bankers. An account has been rendered to me since, and £579 was the sum ex pended. I received the balance, and do not expect to be called upon to pay another shilling. By the committee.—l believe every farthing in the ac count rendered to me was for the legitimate expenses of the election. In this statement he was corroborated by his attorney, Mr. FORSHAW, one of the most respect able of his profession in Liverpool. He said : I am a solicitor, of Liverpool, and went to Derby as Mr. Horsfall's private solicitor. My instructions from Mr. Horsfall were, that I was not to incur any expenses hut the legal expenses : and so studiously careful was Mr. Horsfall, that I received my instructions from him in writing. I was not in any way cognizant of any acts of bribery or corruption there. I first heard of a man (Mor an) taken for bribing while I was sitting in Mr. Hors fall's committee-room. That was the first I heard or knew of anything of the kind being done ; and when I heard it, I said it must be done on the part of the Radicals. It will thus be seen that the character of Mr. HORSFALL has been amply justified, and that whatever may have been the doings at Derby, he was not in any way implicated. ALBERT DOCK.-STRIKE FOR WAGES WE understand that a large body of the supernumerary labourers at the Albert Dick warehouses have struck for higher wages. Such a proceeding is to be deprecated in most instances, and the parties themselves generally suffer in the long run, but we hear that in this case they have grounds for complaint, and the members of the Dock Committee would do well to look into the matter in a spirit of fairness, and put an end to a state of things which seldom reflects credit on those concerned, and is often the cause of much unpleasantness and acrimony In this case, the regular men, as they are termed, get 3s 6d a day, whilst the irregular, or those not in constant employ, get only 3s, and that after waiting days for a job. This can scarcely be fair. But another grievance is, that instead of being paid for half a day, when they are called in for a job, they are only paid 4:1. the hour. We are not aware that any house of standing employs these hard- working men on such cheese-pairing principles, and surely :a company like the Albert Dock Trustees should be the last to do so. ROYAL INFIRMARY.-ELECTION OF SURGEON. Yesterday a special meeting of the trustees and sub scribers to the Liverpool Royal Infirmary was held in the board-room, for the purpose of electing an honorary sur geon, in the room of Mr. Robert Bickersteth. who has recently resigned, after filling the office for upwards of forty years. _ _ 11Iuch interest was evinced in the proceedings by the gentlemen supporting the respestive candidates, and when the business commenced there was a large attendance. Mr. JAMES BOURNE, the president of the institution, opened the proceedings by a brief reference to the cir cumstances under which they were assembled. Mr. Bickersteth, who had so worthily and faithfully filled the office of honorary surgeon to the institution for a long series of years, had, to the great regret of the trustees, felt himself eompelled to resign the situation, and they were now called upon to elect a successor. After some further routine remarks, the president called upon any gentleman to come forward who might have a candidate to propose. Mr. EDMUND MOLYNEUX then came forward, and proposed Mr. James Long as a suitable person to fill the vacancy. It was desirable that they should elect a gen tleman of known.and tried ability and experience to fill such a❑ office as that which was now unfortunately ren dered vacant by the resignation of Mr. Bickerstetb, and he thought that in Mr. Long they had a gentleman who nossessed in an eminent degree those qualifications. Mr. Long was a pupil of Mr. Halton's, and had been brought up in the institution. After some further complimentary allusions to Mr. Long, Mr. Molyneux conclnded by pro posing him as a candidate. Mr. EDWARD GIBBON seconded the nomination Mr. T. E. Moss, banker, then came forward and pro posed Mr. Henry Stubbs as an eligible person to fill the vacant situation. Mr. Stubbs was bred and born among them, and he had much pleasura in proposing him. In doing so it was a satisfaction to him to feel that he was at once performing a public duty as well as a private act of friendship. Mr. JAMES AIKEN seconded the nomination. He had originally intended to have voted for Mr. Long, but find ing that Mr. Stubbs's services had been of longer dura tion than Mr. Long's, although not much, he had come to the conclusion to support that gentleman. No other candidates were proposed, and scrutineers having been appointed, the polling commenced, and was carried on with considerable spirit until three o'clock; when the poll closed. The scrutineers then proceeded to examine the papers, and about half-past three o'clock returned into the boa d room, when the president an nounced the state of the poll to be as follows : For Mr. Stubbs For Mr. Long Majority for Mr. Stubbs Mr. STUBBS then came forward and returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him, stat ing that he should always endeavour to do his duty, and maintain for it the high character which the institution had attained. Mr. EDWARD GIBBON, jun., in the absence of Mr. Long, who was unavoidably absent at the close of the poll, returned thanks to those gentlemen who had recorded their votes in his behalf, and who had given him their support throughout the contest. On behalf of Mr. Long, he (Mr. Gibbon) hoped that gentleman would be more successful on a future occasion. On the motion of Mr. STUBBS, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated about four o'clock.
