being subject to a reduction if foreign countries place Bri•
tish ships on the same footing with their own.

The amount of charitable appropriations under the autho-
rity of the Acts, Patents, and Grants, and. Charter, may
amount, according to the receipts calculated by the returns OF
1821, to about 16,000/. per annum, which, as will be seen, last
year reached the large sum of 32,354/.
From the appropriation of 16,0001. must be deducted a pro-
portion of the expenee of the establishment of the Trinity
House being a charge upon the receipt, which, estimated at
one-third of the sum allowed for the whole establishment on
that account, would be 3,0001., and deducted from the 16,0001.
leaves the amount of specified charitable appropriation about
13,0001. per annum.
It is proposed that the present amount of charitable disburse-
ment, exceeding by one half what may be considered as appli-
cable under any distinct authority to that purpose; shall not be .
increased, but be subject to a progressive reduction, until the
amount shall have been brought within the amount to be collected
and applied under the several Charters, Acts, and Grants above
referred to, that such reduction shall be progressively effected
according to the reduction in the number of the present annui-
tants and pensioners, which, in the course of nature, takes
place ; hence it will follow, that the remaining 16,3541., exclu.
sive of the surplus receipts 'beyond the expenditure, according
to the estimate made, will become a fund available to such
purposes as may be hereafter considered beneficial to the ship-
ping interests of the country; the most desirable of these ap-
pears to your Committee, to be the purchase of the interests of
Individuals in the private and leased lights, and the, placing of
them under the management of the Trinity Corporation—a
measure essential to the establishment of a general system of
rates, and the equal reduction of the light dues, both on. British
and foreign shipping, in the manner suggested in the former
part of the report. Feeling this, and adverting to the amount
of the surplus funds now in the possession of the Corporation,
arising partly frau the collection for lights, and partly from the
surplus of tonage, they are of opinion that a proportion of this
