By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, granted to GEOROE
BREILLAT CHICK, of Bristol and London, the Sixth of
August, 1858.
ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL DISCOVERIES OF THE

AGE.
BREILLAT CHICK'S
NEWLY INVENTED PATENT CYLINDRICAL

BL A C K LE AD.
$ he Patent consists in`incorporating Black Lead, by a pecu-
liar process, with certain oils of a polishing nature ; thus
giving additional brilliancy to the Lead, and preventing rust
upon the surface of the grate ; all other kinds of Black Lead
yet used are defective in this respect. A grate polished with
Chicks's Patent Lead in the Spring, where fires are left off,
w!ll remain a brilliant jet till the Autumn, and quite free from
rust. The Patent Lead is so packed as to be used without
causing the slightest dust, and a servant may black-lead every
grate in the house, without soiling her hands.
• The Public are cautioned against parties advertising Patent
Black Lead, no patent hiving been granted for Black Lead;
excepting to George Breillat Chick ; all others are therefore
counterfeits. Stamps on Black Lead of a square shape have
been registered, but no patent has been granted for the
chemical preparation of the article, except as above. The
shape of the Patent Lead is Cylindrical, which shape has been
registered.

MR. DUNCAN DUNBAR ON THE GRIEVANCES
OF THE SHIPPING INTEREST.

Mr. Duncan Dunbar, the eminent London shipowner,
mt., on Tuesday exam- itlalbttlpg Vaesonmitteegp„Me3r
his experience, he had never known the shipping
interest in so depressed a condition as it was at the
present moment. He attributed that depression entirely
to the repeal of the navigation laws, and did not think
that the affording of any facilities to British shipowners
by the reduction of the differential duties would enable
the shipowners of this country to compete with the ship-
owners of foreign countries, so long as the privilege
existed of maintaining what was called the cross-carrying
trade. He had no doubt whatever that the repeal
of the navigation laws has always operated injuriously
to the British shipowner, but believed that its
effects had not been deeply felt in consequence
of the great demand for shipping arising out of the,
Crimean and Indian wars. The freights in foreign
countries for British ships had been reduced to the
lowest possible amount, and in point of fact he had
known vessels take saltpetre for no freight at all.
Many of his vessels had brought freights from Calcutta
at the rate of from 15s. to £1 per ton. With the
exception of a little temporary rise in the price of
freights, they had far the last two or three years been
so low that they would not cover the port charges,
insurance, and other small items. Several of his own
ships had come home from Calcutta with freights of
15s. a ton, while the port charges at Calcutta, which
was the dearest,,-port in the world, amounted to not less
than, £1 per iciti. He ,did not consider that the burdens
and restrictions imposed upon British shipping by
English laws were such as greatly to affect the
profits of . shipowners, nor did he believe that their
removal would enable, the British shipowners to com-
pete with other nations. His own opinion was that
nothing but a return to the navigation laws could pos- 1
sibly help them, but at the same time he did not expect
that Parliament would sanction any such course of policy.
But the British shipowner had a right to demand jus-
tice, and it could not be said that justice had been done
to him so long as he found his ships lying at Calcutta
waiting for freights at the sate of 15s per ton, whilst
French vessels were carrying freights at from 80s to 90s.
He felt quite certain that the French differential duties
upon cotton in favour of the Americans were the
means of preventing any great trade in that article
between- France and England in French bottoms ;
and to, show how injuriously, they operated against
British shipping he might mention that a few days
ago a gentleman told him .that he had engaged, or
was about to engage, in an enormous cotton specula-
tion with France, but it was a condition that the whole
of the cotton should be carried in American vessels,
' because if it should be carried in English vesssels the
operation of the differential duties would be such as to
prevent their obtaining any profit whatever. He
believed that had the navigation laws not been repealed
there would not only have been a very large amount of
new shipbuilding, which would have been quite suffi-
cient for the carriage of our goods, but that the state of
the navy vivooiAnit.i:leindt

as considerably
incumbent improved,There
would have been no necessity for doing away with the
apprenticeship system, and the inducement to persons to
engage'in the shipping
.trade could not have failed to
maintain the country in the high position she had
hitherto held, and, in point offact, Lord Palmerston would
have been in such a position as to say, " Not a single
shot shall be fired against England uuless I choose to
