iONDON. WIDNBBD4Y, NOV. 30.

The public will be gaits convinced by the Meeting
at the London Tavern yesterday that the Shipownni
are in gnat themes. Only awn is a condition of
desperation weld behave es frantically. Their
own sets, without Mr. DI7SCAN DIIIMILAWS asser-
tions, are sulkiest to prove that they an
as the high road to raja. The managers of the
meeting put forward as their first speaker a
gentlemen who was quite mew to the platform, and
who and only read a resolution founded on the Pro-
tentionim memorial to the Oen?! adopted last autumn,
end who scald est explain why that discredited
memorial, which even the Dtstit Ministry would
sot countenance, wee made the basis of revived pro-

needing,. Ail that could be gathered from his rears
lutioa and his speech was that the shipowners wale
in dirtiw then, and now continue in distress, though
in the answer to the memorial an attempt was made
to comfort them by an assurance that their diatom
would speedily par away. Another geattamsa,
who bad been selected for his great kaewiedge of
the detail* of the subject to second the reselsdaa mad
make up foe the mover's deficiencies, was, frees sees
unexplained cause, absent. Mr. Bassther-Moues
of Liverpool, who supped his place, indulged se
extravagantly in the expression of Protectionist
epitomise, and the proceedii.gs of the meeting were se
obvionely founded on the refuted fallacies of lest
year, that Mr. LiNosAl, who professed that be went
to the meeting °sly to listen, rose to explain Dose
opposite views. Bet, although he made great ear-
Masa, be was not allowed fairly to address hie brother
shipowners. They would on se sweet hear bins.
They were clamorous and insulting. Mr. O.F. YOCNO
Interrupted Mr. LINDSAY, and was by the Chairman
declared to be himself out of order. Mr. DVIINAR was
mere successful than Mr. YOCNG is extinguishing at
least the coecluaioe of Mr. LINDSAY'S speech. The
hon. member for Sunderland use obliged to sit down
amidst a storm of hisses and ex,..ostulations. Then a
shipowner fie. Liverpool, who seemed much annoyed
that hie own ships did not get cargoes of cotton to
bung from New Orleans, quoted some of Mr.
letters against him. Apparently in the
coarse of business, when there wee a great demand
here for shipping which our shipowners could art
supply, Mr. LINDSAY had informed some foreign
correspondents that he had the means of placing
their ships ; and this, a matter of business, was at
mon concluded to be an unfair interference in favour
of the foreigner. It called down on Mr. LINDSAY
anew the disapprobation of the sudience,and obtained
for the speaker vociferatui applause. The meeting
assumed the character of a party and personal squab-
ble. Mr. LINDSAY wae loudly designated a foreign
broker." This quarrelling amongst themselves,
together with the necessity of selecting for re_
spectabuity's sake a Chairman who does not than
their views, can only strecgthen the public con.
eiction that the shipowners themselves, not the
national policy, are to blame for their distress.

Appealing to the public for aid to procure them
relief from bad legislation, it wee to be expected that
the shipowners would conciliate the public by calm
and cautious proceedings. At least we expected that
they would have done ►omething to establish their
claims to public help, end would have pointed out
the means by which their distress could be relieved.
But the sole topic of their auger wee the increase of
foreign chipping. So far do they carry this mono-
mania—for at is clear that the empl-yment of foreign
shipping adds to the national wealth and to the
amount of goods to be carried—that by the mouth of
Mr. Dusiiele they declared against the abolition of
pawing tolls because the " foreigner " wou Id share
the advantage.

The shipowners mistime that they constitute not
only the whole maritime Interest of the empire—the
shipmasters and the mariner., to whom the owners
ars often in opposition, being unworthy of conside-
ration—but the empire altogether, and that their die.
tress and their decay are synonymous with general
distress and general decay. Oa this assumption, the
trade which the foreign shipowner carries on for the
rest of the community arid for his own country is
simply a general injury, and ought to be put an end to.
Nobody should carry goods for the English people bat
the English shipowner. Other persons rejoice that
the multitude in these Wands are well supplied
with cheap provisions of all kinds and cheap
clothing; they are glad now that the ship-
owner has no longer to mod his ship across to
Hambargb to get victualled ; bat the shipowner
sees nothing but loss and usarpation in thy ern•
plop:tient of a foreign ship, aid .t; be could I
rule, the multitude might be starved or perish

THE

rather than a foreign ship should enter OW
harbours. His temporary diameters make Idin in
spirit worse than the monopolist landowner bikes
the ;germ l►w was repealed, and thinking only of
limesif he complains bitterly of the benefits whisk
themspioyment of foreign shipping has conferred oe
the Wipe. Every month, the trade and shipping
ratans tell as how vast these are; bat the ship-
owner can see only his own little lessee, and fsa-
eyi•g himself the whole, is rudely sag y that the
mains will not forego this benefits to gratify him.
We isnot be surprised that shipowners are die.
;men to wrangle • little with their countrymen as
wall as differ amongst themselves. The most
sensible, and by far the qsietest speech
ef the day was that of a Sunderland deputy
who demanded for his port the same ad-
vantages as Liverpool possessed. Very pro-
perly did he complain of the existence of our timber
duties, an very properly did he show that foreign
timber formed into • ship came in free, while the
acme timber imported by the Sunderland ship-
builder would pay a heavy duty. Such anomalies
are great blots on our free-trade system and a greet
reproach to free-trade statesmen; but the
speaker, instead of appealing, as he well
might, to the Manchester men to place timber
es the free-trade list, like cotton and iron, had the
air of reproaching the Manchester men with those
advantages, as it they who demand the repeal of the
timber duties were instrumental in imposing them.
At any other time and plain the speech of the Sun-
derland deputy venal have been a valuable testi-
mony to free-knees end economists; but et a riotous
meeting of protectionist shipowners, who put down
on of their own most staxiesstul members, and were
assembled only to obtain protection under the
name of reciprocity, it was worthless. Its force
wholly evaporated under the declaration of
the speaker that he too wanted reciprocity ander
the sew name of • counterbalance. As long as the
timber duties remain in their present form the ship-
builders have a just ground of complaint, but their
minds are so engrafted by the " foreigner," that
they do not fully appreciate the wrong done them
by the continuance of those duties, nor take effectual
measures, in conjunction with the Free-Traders and
Financial Reformers, to procure the repeal of them.
There are other blots on our free-trade system
which the assembly wisely condemned. Many free-
traders opposed the Passengers Act, the
Mercantile Marine Act, and some clauses
of Lord CANPIILLeIi Act, when these Ante
were pared. Now it is found that the Passengers
Act and Lord CAIIPIIIILL'II Act together impose such
heavy hording ea the English shipowner, that he is
losing • large portion of the passenger trate to our
own colonies, for which he has pecalisrfanities. It
may be very right for legislation to provide kw help-
less emigrants. When crowds of the meet destitute
people of the world, little acquainted with the sea,
wen every day leaving our ports, the Legislature
took up the subject of passenger vessel; and
ander the influenoe of men the solidity of whoesjudg-
meet was not equal to the poignancy of their feel-
ings, pushed its case much too for. So, when it was
properly providing • restraint on careleisnees, by
making the owners of property liable to be mulcted
for injuries caused by the use ot machines, imple-
ments, and ships, it might inlay run into exams.
The shipowners now complain that the vales per toe
of shipping, on which compensation is to be rated, is
far higher now than the actual value of the vessel;
and, even if the shipowner ought always to be
mulcted for • loss when he has effectually done his
duty, the scale is now extravagant. It was
stated to the meeting that one reason why
some person had circulated a report that
Captain TAYLOR of the Royal Charter was is
was a desire to fix blame on the owners of
the ship, se that they might be subjected to • very
heavy fine. A law which supplies • motive for
calumniating an excellent, but in the end an unfor-
tunate Commander, who wee perhaps the greatest
sufferer by the lamentable wreck of the Royal
Charger, can scarcely be • wise law. It encourages
at once cupidity and slander.

8o when the old Navigation Lows were abo-
lished, it was natural that those who had been
emnaetomed to treat seamen aa either children
or slaves, should consider that a revised Mari.
Code wee indispensable. They did so consider
it, and well-intentioned Presidents of the
Board of Trade— who were used for the
purpose by the underlings of office and the practical
men of the seaports, who may be excellent riggers
or navigators, but are as little adapted to make laws
foe our nationel marine se was SOLoX or J CSTINIAS
pap. through Parliament the new M►rine Code.
Of this the shipping interest now justly complains,.
isposiog on its members great restrictions and great
hardships. In every ease of departure from the
principles of free trade—whether of old standing,
like the dotiea on timber, which only became so great
• wrong when other raw materials were allowed
to some in free; or recently adopted, like the care-
lessly draws and very minute Acts we have referred
to—the Legislature is now found to have Wantad
injury on some great interests. On this ground the
shipowner', who feel the injury in these cease and
detect the anomaly, are right in appealing to the
public for help. Tneir monopoly has been properly
abolished, but they have been contrived in subjec-
tion to a very minute species of legislation as ft their
monopoly still existed. They cannot, however, or
pest mippot t in their demands for an inquiry into
the cause of the present distress of the shipping in-
terest. They are es well known. particularly Mow
the meeting has made the public better annainted
with the character of the shipowners, that to inquire
into them would be a waste of the time of
Parliament.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS.

RIM ties owx ODLAISPONDIST.)
FARIB, TUMIDLY itvmrnro.
The Pays annannom that the letters by which the
French government invites the powers who were
parties to the general act of Vienna of 1816 to meet
in a congress were sent out to-day from the Ministry
of Foreign Aire, and that the congress will proba-
bly assemble in the early part of January. It is to
be observed that the Pays makes no mention of the
place in which the congress is to meet.

The Manorial des Deus &Ivrea has received •
w►rning for an article in its number of Nov. 24,
containing the following passage :

. . . : And yet, when we observe the censure wine-
times out upon Sardinia; the shivering at which
seems to wise upon oar statesmen when they think
upon the energetic resolutions taken by the Tos-
cana with the object of maintaining order; the obsti-
nate cultivation of a provisional state of thisgs In Italy;
the soropnloas attention to the desires of Austria, se If •
reproach from her wee at say =mew to bo hared; the
Woods set to the press, and the daily injunctions hewed
*phut iatrioglag them ; the ensue imposed upon the bat-
, taws which march always with their Angers on their lips,
I cos would really think that we were 'boat to commit soma
bad action—not to repast the old proverb.

This passage tits warning describes u one in
which " it is imputable to see a loyal and serious
discussion of the policy of the government," and as
containing " imputations as false as insulting, and
of a nature to wound this national sentiment."

The Bourse was very arm, in consequenoe of the
positive news that there is to be a congress.
The Banta rose 300. for cash and 25e. for account,
dosing at 70&. bilo. and 70fr. 50c. Mobiller rose
Bfr. 25e. Railways were from 2fr. boe. to bfr.
higher. This was decidedly the best Bourse that
has been seen since the war.

The weekly commercial review of the Press* is
little more than • repetition of what it has said for
many weeks past. There is • certain degree of
activity occasioned by the every day want of articles
of general consumption, but nothing like speculative
business is going on.
