rrHAT the SHIP-OWNERS .present at this
A Meeting are eonfirmed in their opinion of the injurious
operation of the Tax on th-e Tonnage of Shipping, and that it is
the most linpolitic and ruinous principle of Taxation that could
hive b -en adopted in a Maritime country ; and as the uniform
s: stem of the Legislature of Great Britain had previously been
for centuries to encourage by every facility in its power the Ma-
ritime interest of the conntry, the Ship Owners present at
this Meeting, rely with confidcnee, on the justice of the Le-
gislature, and they trust that it will not continue a Tax, the
*Cart of which will most inevitably tend not only to deereavi
this Carrying Trade of the country, but very materially injure
ids Commerce and Manufactories.

That the Thanks of the Ship-Owners present at this Meet-
ing be gin to the Right lion. the Lord Mayor for his great
