port from time to time on practical measures (uncon-
nected with political changes), likely to improve the
condition of the working classes, to encourage their in-
dustry, and increase their contentment.
Mr. Macgregor—To move the following resolutions:—
I. That considering the magnitude of the maritime com-
merce of the British empire, and that no:vessel or ship, with
a cargo, in ballast, or with passengers, can, when engaged
either in the coasting, colonial, or foreign trade, arrive at,
discharge, or take is a lading, or passengers, or depart from
any port in the United Kingdom, without the interference of
the officers and submitting to the regulations and laws of
the Customs, it has become necessary for Parliament to take
into consideration the whole subject of the administration,
organization, management, and regulations of that depart-
ment :

2. That the friendly and peaceable relations, and reciprocal
social benefits, and commercial advantages between the
United Kingdom and all foreign countries, can be most
harmoniously and durably maintained by the maritime arid
trading intercourse being rendered as free as the security of
the revenue may allow from all vexatious, ignorant, and
useless restrictions, delays, and expenses :
3. That with a view to facilitate maritime intercourse be-
tween British and all foreign ports, and to effect a direct re-
sponsibility of duties and efficiency of services in regard to
the security of the revenue, and the quick dispatch of the
commercial and shipping business of the United Kingdom, it
appears the following changes are absolutely necessary :

First. A complete refo-im of the system of regulations,
orders, and management of the Customs.
Second. An abolition of the present administrative
organization of appointments, and especially that of
the Board of Commissioners.
Third. That for the purposes of responsibility of duties,
the security of the revenue, and the quick and
efficient dispatch of ships and their cargoes, an efficient
re-arrangement of the personal organization of the
Customs department appears necessary.
4. That considering the effect which the commerce and
the financial legislation of the United Kingdom have, at all
times, upon the employment of the people, the prosperity of
the empire, and the public revenue and credit, it appears
necessary to inquire into the progress of the trade and navi-
gation between the United Kingdom and foreign countries,
and also between the United Kingdom and the British pos-
sessions abroad, including India, from the sth day of January,
1827, to the sth day of January, 1849.
Sir John Yarde Buller—Select Committee to inquire
into and report upon the petition of Arthur Howe Holds-
worth, EQq., which was presented upon the 28th day of
March last, relating to his invention for cooling the
engine-rooms of steam-vessels.

Mr. flume—To move the followinc, resolutions:-
1. That, as the prices of corn food and articles of gene-
ral consumption are at low now as in the year 1797, it
is the opinion of this House, with the view of lessening
the expenditure of the country, and of affording relief
from taxation, that in all appointments to office after
this date, at home and abroad, the salaries should be
fixed, as far as possible, and without detriment to the
puldic service, according to the scale of salaries in the
year 1797. 2. That it is the opinion of this House that
a careful and searching inquiry should be forthwith
made, whether the number of persons now employed in
the several departments of the state, at horse and abroad,
may not be reduced, without detriment to the public
service.
