THE NAVIGATION LAWS.

The Select Committee, appointed to inquire Into the ope-
ration of the navigation laws, met on Monday for the first
time. The following members compose the Committee :
Sir R. Peel, Mr. M. Gibson, Vice-President of the Board
,of
Trade, Mr. Ricardo, Sir H. Douglas, Mr.-Alderman Thomp.
son, Mr. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Liddell, Sir G. Clerk, Mr.
Mitchell, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Lyall, Mr. DiVarthy, Mr. T.
Baring. Mr. Hume, and Mr. Bright.
Mr. Hums moved, and Mr. RICARDO seconded, that Sir R.
Peel be appointed the chairman of the Committee.
Sir R. PEEL respectfully declined acting as chairman. He
thought it would be much more advisable fbr the Committee
to elect as their chairman Mr. M. Gibson, the Vice-President
of the Board of Trade, whose position as a member of the
Government would give him a greater command over sources
of information relative to the subject matter of their inquiry
than any other member of the CoMmittee could have. Be-
sides, supposing that their inquiries should result in a Bill
being brought before Parliament, there would be a greater
likelihood of its being carried into a law if brought under
notice of the House by a member of the Government, who
would possess greater facilities for legislation than any private
Member of the Committee could possibly have.
Mr. M. Ginsox was eventually appointed the Chairman,
and the Hon. Member baying taken the chair,
Mr. Hums asked Mr. Ricardo, as the m.,ver for the Com-
mittee, what course the latter proposed to take with reference
to the inquiries of the Committee?
Mr. RICARDO said, he proposed, in the first instance, to call
witt,esses to explain to the committee clearly what the law
was at that moment, and how far, and in what manner, it
Affected the maritime affairs of the country. It would be
necessary, also, that they should know what particular Acts
affected the navigation law itself, and how far that naviga-
tion law was relaxed or modified by other laws now in exist-
ence. He thought that nobody was so able to inform the
committee on these points as Mr. Lefevre, of the Board of
Trade, , and. he (Mr. Ricardo) proposed to Call him in the
first instance. Afterwards, he proposed that they should
inquire into the effect of the law upon the mercantile trans
actions of this country, and also as to its operation upon the
colonies.

A member of the Committee suggested that they should
examine persons that could give them most accurate infor-
mation on the navigation laws of other commercial states in
the world, and particularly as to what modification they
might have undergone since the relaxations of the restric
tions which had taken place in those of this country.
Mr. RICAaDO said, he had moved for an abstract of the
maritime, regulations of the various countries, but that re-
turn was of so voluminous a nature that it had not yet been
completed.
Sir R. PaEL suggested that a short summary
.of the laws
at present in force in the various other continental states
might be procured from the Sertretary of State fur Foreign
Affairs.

Mr. LIDDELL thought it would be convenient to con-
sider some sort of classification of the heals of inquiry, by
which means the attention of the committee might be di-
rected to ascertain the specific operation, under each head,
of the laws which, in the ek4iination of the Hon. Member
ri-Iso bad ,snot-4,4 for ttie ilaight be Most suscep-
tible of alteration for the benefit of the country, such, for
instance, as those relating to the coasting trade and the
fishery trade.
Mr. BRIGHT said there were two classes of persons-in the
country interested in the navigation-law, one chess support •
ing it on account of the coniniercial protection which it
afforded, and the other on account of its having reference to
the.defence of the country. He thought the two were equally
deserving of attention.
Sir R PEEL thought it would be advisable for them to ask
Mr. Lefevre to prepare himself for an examination as to the
changes which the navigation- laws relating.to this country
had undergone; and then to examine Mr. M'Gregor as to
what were the navigation laws of other states. The coasting
trade and the colonial trade were questions very much mixed
up together.
The Committee concurred in this suggestion, and adjourned
till Tuesday, the 2d of March.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK ON THE NASS SANDS,
—BRIDGEND, FRIDAY.—On Sunday morning last a dread-
Ail wreck took place on the Nass Sands. in the British Chan-

Toe ill-fited vessel, which was a new schooner, let

Newport on Saturday, the 13th, for Marseilles, with a cargo
of iron. On the following morning a dense fog enveloped
the whole channel, amid which the schooner struck first

on the Tuscar rock, and eventually went on to the Naas
Sands. On the tide coming up she was carried nearer in
shore on the breakers under the cliff. Here the sea lashed
her most violently; and the crew of ten, finding the vessel
shipped so much water, took to the mainmast. It was
nearly four o'clock before they were discovered, and ere as-
sistance reached them from the shore the mast snapped
from the deck, and all upon it were engulfed in the roaring
surf. Only one reached the shore alive. In the course of
the following day most of the bodies were washed yp, and at
the coroner's inquest the jury returned a verdict of "Acci-

dental death."
INFLUX OF EMIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTH OF IRE-
LAND TO LONDON.—The Ajax steam ship. with a full cargo,
and an immense number of deck passengers, consisting of
men, women, and children, apparently in very poor circum-
stances, arrived on Monday afternoon at Wapping. Further
and more numerous bodies are, it is said, preparing to fidlow
to the same destination. There has been a great demand
lately on the parishes of Deptford, in consequence of the in-
flux of Irish paupers; and the distribution of bread by the
relieving officers has been unusually great to these poor and
needy creatures.
The late Rev. W. R. H. Churchill, of Colliton
House, Dorchester, has left in funded and personal property
100,0001. To each of his four daughters he leaves an imme-
diate bequest of 10,0001., and the residue to be equally divided
among them on the demise of their mother, to whom he
leaves his residue; the household furniture and effects, and
carriages, to his wife absolutely; the plate between his wife
and sons. There are several specific and pecuniary legacies.
His farms and land in the parish of Sturminster Marshall,
Dorset, to his wife, and at her decease to his son George, and
then to his grandson George. his valuable estates and free-
holds in Nuston, Bourne, and Lowford, all in Dorset, com
prised in marriage settlement, he leaves to his eldest son,
the Rev. W. Churchill, as also his freeholds in the parishes
of Buckland Ripers and Potersham, who will also become
entitled to his mother's separate property, and in all proba-
bility succeed to the real estates of his uncle, John Churchill,
Esq. The deceased held the rectory of Winterborne Ander-
stone from the year 1815, and the sinecure rectory of Wither-
stone from 1799 until his death.
