ehe Report of the Proceedings of the Committee in the course
,Te last year *as r, and un'animously approved.
ctitlesolved unanimously That the utility of Capt. Marryatt's
o eof Signals, for the Merchant Service, has been experienced
wo.various occasions, and has been much increased, by the
-terit„k being reprinted' in the United States of America, and re-
x. the
transtated into the French language, under the patronage
the Government of that country,- who have directed copies of
then
Work, and sets of the flags, to be distributed among all . their
oi war in commission. -
4(l,ut this Society do therefore trust that the Lords of the
t;oetralty, who have examined, approved, and adopted this
laattof Signals, will not suffer the operation of the Act of the
hoilSession (imposing a peetalty of 500/. on' merchant ships
Vins the Union Jack) to deprive them of the great advan-
Iley d.erive from these signals, and which, from their
111,,,s'ston among other maritime nations, must necessarily
tot as the strict enforcement 'of this law will materially
041teraei, if not altogether defeat, the principal object and
kae' of these signals, it be recommended to the Committee to
OftZe such representation on this important subject to the Lords
I;`,e Admiralty, as they may deem most expedient.
tr That it is the opinion of this meeting that every departure
m the principle of the Navigation Acts of Charles the Second
too Cates against the prosperity of the shipping interest of this
N4'
trY and in the same degree will be found injurious to its
rower.

.hheir proceedings on behalf of this Society by this rule.
N'• hat in the peculiar situation of this country, where the most
thee4ttal articles used for Ship building are so highly taxed,
ph expectation of British Ship Owners being enabled to corn-
Witeht"? equal terms with those of other nations, is at variance
