LONDON, LEITH. EDINBURGH, AND GLASGOW
SHIPPING COMPANY.
IIIHE interests of the . EDINSURGUI and
LEITH, and EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, and LEITH
SHIPPING COMPANIES, being now united, by the for-
mation of a new Copartnery, under the Firm of the LON-
DON, LEITH, EDINBURGH, and GLASGOW SHIPPING
COMVANY; the latter Company have selected a competent
number of the largest and best appointed SMACKS to carry
on the London and Leith Trade, in a superior style to what
has ever.yee beenattempted.
This New Company's Smacks, which, in point of Accorn-
. a:iodation for Passengers, and in general equipment, cannel
be surpassed, will 'in future Sail regularly Three Times a-
, Week between London and Leith, viz. from the Leith and
Glasgow Wharf (forgderly Glasgow Wharf), London, every
SUNDAY, TUESDAY; and THURSDAY ; and from , the
Lower Draw-Bridge, Leith, every TUESDAY, THURSDAY,
and SATURDAY, and will thus form a more frequent coin-
munication between these Ports than has hitherto been of-
fered by any Shipping Company. ,
The Establishment formed by the Edinburgh, Glasgow, and
Leith Shipping Company, for the more speedy and regular
conveyance of Goods between Leith, Glasgow, and Greenock,
will be continued by this Company. Their Tug Packets will
sail daily between Glasgow and Leith, and every Wednesday
and Saturday hetweeti Leith arid Greenock; and from two
Steam Boats being now engaged on the Forth for towing
them, greater certainty and dispatch may be depended on.
The smaller sized Smacks, which, from this new arrange-
ment, will not he employed in the-Loudon Trade, will be im-
mediately put into the Trade between Belfast and Greenock ;
between which Ports they will sail regularly every Thursday,
whether full or ma, 14 the same system as followed by the
Smacks in the London and Leith Trade, and if encourage-
inent is given, greater frequency of sailing will be adopted.—
The Accommodation which these vessels possess for Passen.
gers, and' their fast sailing, are already genoralliknown.
By these means aatost complete chain of c'nninunication is
formed between London, Leith, the West of Scotland, and
North of Ireland, which it is -hoped, will afford great advan-
tages and facilities to the Pablic, particularly as Goods from
the extreme points of it will be in the charge of the same
Company throughout, who will tranship them with the tit- -
most care and attention, and will undertake the delivery
of them at a fixed rate, which shall include all charges and
expellees.

The &rectors of this Company are determined that every
part of these Establishments shall be conducted with the ut-
most accuracy and activity, so that every attention to Pas-
sengers and dispatch in forwarding Goods may be relied oni
and they eatnestly solicit the patronage and support of thy
Public. -

To the Honourable thl COMMONS oft t;NrrEn KING-
DOM of d E.l 2.AUTAIN arid in PARLIA-
MENT assembled.
The HUMBLE PETITION of the Under.igtied SHIP
• OWNER. of LIVERPOOL,

Sir E'f if ,

That your Petitioriet's have seen sC,;tll great alarm the in-
troduction of a Petition i!Ato your Honourable iiouse,
" against every restrictive ieKulatiOn (i(Trad,i, not essential
" to the Revenue, and against all Duties merely pot ee;ice
" from For pain' ,Petitioners are
iwiiiced to think that one important object intended to be
obtained is a reirmttiou of the Navigation Laws.

That your Petitioners
.;ire satisfied that the Navigation
Laws, over since their tnactaient, have most iMportantly con-
tributed to the strength and prosperity of the Empire, to the
encouragement of bbiit-buittling, and to the•increase of Br'.
/is; Seamen

That your taetitinnetre.fully convinced that' a-reduction
of the Duty on Foreign-Timber would lead to'coUsequet,ces
the most disastrous to the British Shipping interest, by lessen-
ing the quantities of Timber taken front our own Colonies,
and thereby greatly diminishing the number of British Ships
engaged in the Timber Trade; which now, since the loss of the I
Transport Service, stand in need of lo seasonable an 'employ-.
mout, and which would otherwise become useless to tlieir
Owners, while the alteration in favour Of 'Foreign Timber
'Would be to resign the Trade to Foreigners without any equi-
valent.

That the prime cost of, British North American' Timber is
principally paid for in British Manufactures, and the Freight
is paid to British Ships; and as the Freight constitutes the
greatest part of its-value, and is principally expended in the
outfit of the Voyage, it thereby employs British Artizans,
and British Seamen, while an increase of Foreign 'limber
occitsioning a diminution of the quantities of Timber taken
from our own Colonies, would be the means of tin owing unt
of employment a large proportion ..1 British Shipping and
Seamen, and would dib'ert the Capital of these Colonies, now
almost exclusively employed in British consumption, to
Aliens, whose constunption of such produce is comparatively
partial and tritliog.

That in confirmatiun of the foregoing Statement, your Pe-
titioners deem it only neGessary to refer to the consideration
of your Honourable House the following account of the
Tonnageof British -.l.pping which have catered inwards to
this Port iron? the LiritiSir Colonies in North America since
the year 1813, and which shews the great and progressive in-
crease of this important branch of our Foreign Trade.—
They would also beg to state, that from the certainty of these
vessels obtaining return cargoes of Timber, they are enabled
to carry out an abundant supply of Salt (and which in the
last year amounted to 38,580 tons) for the use of our valuable
Fisheries at NeWfoundland, and on the coast of North Ame-
rica, upun very moderate terms of Freight, a consideration of
the utino,t importance to them, and w!)ich, can alune.cnatile

them to maintain a successful competition with the Fisheries
of the United States of America.

Your Petitioners therefore most humbly pray, that no
measures may be adopted calculated to prejudice the in.:
terest of British Shipping, nor any alteration be made in
the Di ties on 'Limber, to place the Importer from the
British Colonies on a less.frourable footing than under
the Laws at present existing. " •
And your I'etitioners,will ever pray.
