THE NAVIGATION LAWS.

The Committee appointed by the House cf Commons
to inquire into the operation of the navigation laws met
Friday in Committee-room No. 2. There were pre-
sent Mr. Milner Gibson, chairman ; Mr. Ricardo, Mr.
Mitchell, Mr. Lyall, Sir George Clerk, Alderman Thomp-
son, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Hume, Hon. Mr. Liddell,
Admiral Dundas, Sir Howard Douglas, Hon. Mr. Vil-
liers and Mr. M'Carthy.
Mr. Young was recalled.
Mr. Mitchell called the attention of the witness to
that part of his evidence given on a former day, where
he stated .that British and foreign ships could be insured
at an equal rate of 6 per cent. lie read to him a letter,
written by Messrs. Carruthers and Budd, the under-
writers at Lloyd's, stating that they had themselves
underwrittenoak-built Prussian shire:, standing, for seven
years, A 1, at Lloyd's, at a rate of 12 guineas per cent.
for a twelvemonth without limitations, and that they had
ascertained that other foreign ships of the same class had
been insured at the rate of ten guinea, while British
ships standing for twelve years A 1, at Lloyd's, were in-
sured for 7 to 8 guineas per cent. for a twelvemonth
without limitations. Having read that letter, he wished
to know whether Mr. Young still adhered to his former
answer, that the rates of insurance were the same fur
both English and foreign ships?
Mr. Young did not think that letter shook his opinion
at all ; for he did not perceive in it any allusion to the
nature of the voyages in which these ships were to be
engaged, and which would materially affect the rates of
insurance; so that no inference could be drawn as to a
correct comparison between these English and foreign
vessels. Hr might state that the class of ships he spoke
of in the evidence he formerly gave were ships all
engaged in the East India trade.
Mr. Mitchell—And would you still adhere to your
former evidence regarding the price of Baltic timber
being 1003. per load, when we are informed, on the
authority of Parliamentary returns. that the average
prices of Baltic timber were, for 1841 and 1842, 102,.;
fur 1843, 104 s. ; for 1844, 745. ; for 1845, 795. ; and for
1846, 865.?
Mr. Young—l know nothing about the average prices.

ii
I can only say that I am a consumer of timbei--that I
go to the cheapest market, at•.d that I buy the best; and
that I have here a statement of what I paid for timber
during the last seven years, which was the ground on
which I spoke.
Mr. Hume wished Mr. Young to read this statement,
but Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Ricardo objected to its being
put in competition with the Parliamentary returns.
By Sir Robert Peel—ln 1842, after the reduction of
the duty, there was an enormous increase in the demand
for Baltic timber, which no doubt to some extent affected
the price. lie did not know that the district which pro-
duced the best Baltic timber was of limited extent. He
had heard so, indeed, but from some other sources he
had heard the contrary. The Canada timber had also
risen in price as w_ll as the Baltic, which was also caused
by the increased demand. This was particularly the
ease with the Canadian red pine' which competed with
the Baltic, but there was very little of that timber in
Canada. _ _ _

By Mr. Ricardo—lt Appeared from the parliamentary
.e,urns that from 1815 to 1824—that was during the
1:-,,J1t of protection—the mercantile marine hail.
upon the whole, whereas, from 1824 to 1846,
that was the period during which the reciprocity treaties
had been in ucticn, it had greatly increased ; but that
he considered was nor a fair test, especially as regarded
the period betwen 1815 and 1824, because a tew years
before 1824 it was discovered that a considerable, num-
ber or ships were borne on the registration books that
had ceased to exist, and these were struck off the books,
which in some measure accounted for the decrease.
Sir George Clerk—N', that was in 1827.
Mr. Young thought it was previous o 1824. With
regard to the increase since then, be thought there was
a great fallacy involved in it, as every voyage of a
styarner backwards and forwards was counted into the
amount of tonnage belonging to this country, than which
nothing could be more fallacious, as a mode of ascer-
taining the effective strength of England.
Mr. Ricardo—Perhaps it is, if taken to sliciw the
elf ctivestreigth of the country ; but it is surely a fair
mode of showing how much of the carrying trade is in
our hands

THE PRIVILEGES of the COURTS
OF ALDEIVAEN AND COMMON COUNCIL.
QUESTIONS ON THE CASE PREPARED BY ORDER OF
THE COURT OF ALDERMEN, WITH THE OPINIONS OF
COUNSEL THEREON.
1. «hether the alteration of the qualification of a
Common Councilman, proposed by the Bill in ques-
tion, can he legally made?
2. If such alteration can be made, whether it
must not be made under the charter of 15 Edward
111. ; and, if so, in what manner, and by whom
should it be made, in order to render the same valid
and effectual ?
3. Whether a meeting of the Lord Mayor, Al-
dermen, and Commons, in Common Council assem-
bled (legally and properly constituted), have the
power to pass an Act of Common Council for making
such alterations ?
4. Whether there must be a Court of Aldermen,
composed of thirteen members (the whole having
been summoned), present at a meeting of the Com-
mon Council, to make a good assembly of the body ?
5. Whether the assent of a majority of the Alder-
men so present is not legally necessary ?
6. If a Court of Aldermen need not be present,
whether at all events the assent of a majority of the
Aldermen who do attend is not necessary ; in other
words, whether the Aldermen as such have any ne-
gative voice in passing Acts of Common Council.
7. With reference to the Common Council, whether
a majority of the Commons (the whole being sum-
moned) is not necessary to be present to constitute a
good Common Council meeting, and whether a ma-
jority of such members present must not assent.
8. Or if the majority of the Commons need not
attend, whether the assent of a majority of those who
do attend will be sufficient ?
And generally to advise the Court of Aldermen
whether it may not be desirable for that Court to
come to certain resolutions as to their views and
opinions relative to the passing of the Bill ; and as to
what are the proper means of staying the progress of
and defeating the said Bill, if Council should be of
opini,in that the measure proposed is a legal mea=ure,
or a measure that ought not to be passed with re-
ference to the privileges of the householders, citizens
of the city of London.

COPY OF OPINION.
" We are of opinion that there exist grave doubts
whether the alteration of the qualification of a Com-
mon Councilman, proposed by the Bill in qu,istion,
can be legally made, even assuming the consent o!-
the Mayor and Aldermen has been duly accorded—
the meeting of the Lord Mayor. Aldermen, and Com-
mons, in Common Council assembled, and the Bill
properly passed.
" It is not necessar, for the present purpose, to
answer the intermediate queries, the subjects of %Nina
may be yet further considered ; but we are prepared
to advise the Court of Aldermen, that it is not only
dasirable, but essentially necessary, for that Court to
record their opinion in relation to the proposed Bill.
If this Bill be allowed to pass in the manner proposed,
%Nithout the concurrence and against the consent of
the Court of Aldermen, the Common Council will be
equally competent to pass any other Act in the same
manner, by which any of thy most important rights
of the Courts of Alderman, or privileges of the
citizens of London, dependent on the ancient custom
of the City, may be annihilated.
" We are further of opinion that the Bill in ques-
tion cannot be passed without the consent of the
Mayor and Aldermen. Should the Mayor and Alder-
men come to the resolution to withhold their consent
to the proposed Bill, we recommend them to express
their dissent through the Recorder in the Common
Council, which was the mode adopted by the Court
of Alderman in February, A.D. 1723.
" CHAS. E. LAW, Recorder.
"J. MIREHOUSE, Common Sergeant.
" P. PEACOCK.
" JAMES WILDE."
Within the last fortnight the following .answers
were added to the above opinion.
"2. We think the alteration must be made in con-
formity with the charter of Edward 111., granted in
Parliament, and confirmed by the statute of Richard
II.; for although the custom existed before the
charter, the custom has been invariably pleaded in
the terms of the charter.
" 4 and 6. We do not think that there must be a
Court of Alderman composed of thirteen members
present at a meeting of the Common Council to make
a good assembly of that body ; but the Mayor and
Aldermen as such have, in our opinion, a negative
voice in passing Acts of Common Council, that nega-
tive being exercised in a Court of Aldermen.
" 7. We are of opinion that a majority of the Com-
moners (who are the delegates of the commonality for
certain purposes), is not necessary to be present to
constitute a good Common Council meeting,' provided
the whole of the Common Council are duly sum-
moned.
" 8. We think that the assent of the majority of
those who do attend will be sufficient.

The opinions of Newman Knowles, Esq., Recorder ;
Thomas Denman, Esq., Common Sergeant: and Ar-
thur Belland, Esq., Senior Common Pleader, upon a
case submitted to them by order of the Court of
Common Council, November, 1824 :
QUESTION.
Whether a Court of Common Council is dissolved
or broken up, if all the Aldermen present thereat, or
if all such Aldermen except one, withdraw themselves
therefrom ? and
What number of Aldermen is necessary to be a AFtin-
bled and present with the Commoners, to constitute
such Court?

Mr. Young—But foreigners have chiefly sailing-
vessels, while England employs steamers. Now, sup-
posing them to be of 200 ions, and the one to make two
voyages in a month, while the other made two voyages
in a week, it was plain that in the course of the year the
sailing-ship would be ranked as 48,000 tons, while the
steamer would be considered as 208,000 tons, than which
nothing could be more fallacious.
Examination continuei—He was disposed to uphold
the navigation laws, not only because they formed a
nursery for the royal nay., but also because, however
unpopular the notion might now be, he thought it was
right to support the cause of native industry by mode
rate protection. He applied that principle to every
branch .f British industry ; but it was more especially
applicable, be thought, to the shipping interest. In the
Cabe of the corn trade, for instance, though the duty on
foreign corn had been altogether removed, the firmer
still retained a protection—he would give no opinion
whether or not it was an adequate protection—on the
cost of importing such a bulky article as corn, which
amounted on an average, he thought, to 8s per quarter.
But in the case of competition with foreign ships, there
would be no such protection, but rather a direct bounty
to foreign ships tie come here, in the shape of the freights
they would receive for their cargoes. That argument of
course -only applied to ship-building. He thought it
would not be an advantage to have the power of pur-
, chasing foreign ships, because that would be the destruc-
tion of ship building in this country, and an additional
expense would he thrown upon the country in providing
naval artisans who had more than once within his recol-
lection been drafted from private dockyards to supply
the wants of the public.
The Chairman—Are you aware, Mr. Young, that
more than one foreign snip of war has been built in
England?
Mr. Young—l am aware of one built for Mexico,
which has no facilities for ship-building.
The Chairman —No, but we have built one for
Austria.
Mr. Young—l am not aware of that.
The Chairman—But I have been all over her mys-lf.
By Mr. Ricardo—The navy has been manned in time
of war by impressment. He was no advocate for im-
nressim nt ; but 1w was au advocate for having the
eavy manned, in time of war, at all expense and at all
,i,zards. He thougt.t that the practice of impressment
alight be superseded. if hot, r usages were given in
she navy, and if the men were more kindly treated.
rhe ulinost total abolition of flogging in the navy
had don- much to conciliate sailors to the service, and
he could state from personal acquaintance with the sea-
men of the Tyne, who were the most intelligent of their
that with proper treatment they would not object
even to compulsory service for a limited period. His
own opinion, however, was, that it was unnecessary to
man the navy aitogether with able seamen ; because as
a great part of those on board were only required for
the purposes of warfare, he thought that a supply of
naval marines might be secured tor that purpose, who
would answer equally well when they had got what
s-tilors called their sea legs. He should doubt Sir James
Stirling's estimate of only 1,000 merchant seamen being
now in the naval service, at least he knew that seamen
were continually volunteering into the navy from his
ships, and other owners made the same complaint. He
thought the great advantage of foreign shipowners over
English was the advantages they possessed in cheapness
of material and the cheapness of labour.
The Coternittee then adjourned till Tuesday next.

a meeting of the committee of the Association for
Promoting Ecclesiastical Reform, and from two let-
ters which we publish elsewhere, that the arrange•
ment proposed by the Chapter does not, tneet with
universal acceptance ; and we must plainly, State, that
while we are willing to give to that body much
credit for the coriciliatory spirit which they now
manifest, we do not think that there can be a satis-
factory settl,tfient of the question at iisue without
some modification of the terms prop"sed. We shall
make a few observat.ons on the three propositions
seriatim.

1. The 3d and 4th Victoria, cap 66, provides that
such fixed annual sums shall be paid to the Ecclesias-
tical Commissioners by the Chapter of Manchester,
as shall be computed to leave a stipend of 2,0001.
a year for the dean, and of 1,0001. a year
for each of the canons; and the sums which
thus accrue to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners are
to be expended in making additional provision for the
cure of souls in parishes where assistance is most
required, in such manner as shall be deemed most
conducive to the interests of the Established Church.
It is most unfortunate that, when this Act was before
the Legislature, the cliurchmen of this town did not
bestir themselves to secure the appropriation of the
revenues of the collegiate church, which are strictly
parochial, to parochial purposes. This, however, was
neglected ; and they were consequently dealt with on
the same principle as the revenues of other cathedral
and collegiate churches which are not parochial. All
that can now be done is to apply to the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, or, if necessary, to the Legislature,
to make an arrangement which shall secure the ex-
penditure of the Church property of Manchester in
the parish.
2. It is proposed that each canon shall hold, to-
gether with his stall, one of the livings in the gift of
the Chapter. Now, it has been contended by the
churchwardens, and hy those who agreed with them
in deprecating Mr. Parkinson's acceptance of St.
Bee's, that the charter contained provisions obviously
designed to compel the residence of the warden and
fdlows in the parish, in order that their services
aught be available when required for the perform-
ance of pious and charitable effice-; and we are not
at all sure that the Act of 3d and 4th Victori.e cap.
113, by requiring that for the futuie all dea: s and
canons shah reside at least a certain period, at
all over-rulea the provisions of the charter w hich re-
qaire a longer resi lence, under a penalty now unfor-
tunately insufficteot to enforce onservi,nce of the in-
junction. The great object of the present movement
has been to compel residence, under ttre belief that
'he dean and canons have already, I- tl-, memorable
words of Mr. Canon Parkinson, a " r respon-
sibility for the cure of souls in this parish ;" and those
who have promoted the movement canno., he satisfied
with an arrangement which asserts the principle that
-he canons have not, as such, any parochial duty.
The Chapter ha;e d. stray ed all the grace of con-
ceding the point by the condition winch they have
nnexed to it. The stii,end of a thousand a year,
which the law assigns to each canon, will he deemed
by the public an ample provision for them; and the
proposal to attach a living to each stall will be con-
,lemned as an attempt to increase the income assigned
to them. One of the present canons was, at the time
of his appointment, incumbent of a district church.
This living he then very pr..perly rc-sigiied ; and we
do not see how he can concur in an arrangement of
which he so practically expressed his disapprobation.
3 It is proposed to devote a porti n of the income
of the chapter, first to the pay-client ~f fix-ci stioc nds to
the chapl sins, with the object of abolishi ig the dues
now paid by the district churches ; and, secondly, of
endowing the poorer livings in the gift of the Chapter.
Now, we think that the proposed payments being
made out of parochial funds, woul i be most unjustly
and unwisely limited to livings in the gift of the
chapter, and more especially as this provision will, we
believe, exclude from the benefit of additional endow-
ments some of the churches wh. re the duties are most
onerous and tie stipends smallest.
Now, although compelled to take exceptions to por-
tions of the arrangement proposed, we are not insen-
sible to its importance as a step to a better system ;
and we rejoice that the Chapter have thought it
right to come forward to propose an accommodation
of the points in dispute. We trust that having gone
so far they will not now stop short, hut will endea-
vour to secure a satisfactory settlement of the ques-
tions at issue. Much may be done by a plain state-
ment of the sums which will probably be at the
disposal of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the
Chapter must recollect that as the success of their
-theme wiil greatly depend on the efficient manage-
ment of the Church property, the public will expect
some security that it shall be better administered than
n the mjority of cases such property proverbially is.

THE L ITE CASES OF POISONING AT RENsAL
NEw Tows. :---The funeral of the five children and their
father Thomas Hickman, took place on Friday morning,
From an early hour, a considerable number of persons as-
, sembled in front of the cottage to witness the mournful
scene. The six bodies, which had been placed in separate
coffins, Were d.,poiited in a one-horse hearse and conveyed
Sr to the burial-ground of Chelsea New Church. Mrs. Hick-
. man's mother, her two sisters, including the unfortunate
Caroline BenaraY, and one or two friends, followed the re-
mains to the g-ave. They were conveyed to the ground by
two horses and carts, lent by the neighbours for that pur-
pose. Mrs. Hickman not having ,ufficiently recovered from
;• th., shock, did not follow. The service having
been read in
a very irnpresfive manner by the Rev, AIL Ridge, the whole
of the coffins were. placed in.,)ne gravl. Mrs. Hickman coa-
t" tinues to progress most favourably.
During the cruel and cowardly bombardment of
14,yea Cruz by the Americans, a shell is said to have fallen on
-_.11a.-q -a church, and to have killed 15 women who were engaged in
