TIMBER TRADE.—The Shipowners of rionaarit
and within the port of Newcastle-upon-Trait'
have presented Memorials to the Board
Trade, praying that no alteration may be rl/%at
in the present Duties on Foreign Timber,
we are informed that Memorials will be Pre;
sented from Liverpool, Glasgow, and all the°thce
principal Out-ports, to the same effict•
continuance of these Duties is essential to the co
lief and existence of the Shipping Interest'
well as the British Colonists in North Amelle°
and as far as we have been able to ascertain 64/1.-

rectlY the real state of this important Eltiesti°°'
we rhave reason to believe, that the British g#'
nufacturers are more deeply interested in enCt°t:
raging and extending the Trade with the Amierics
Continent than the Baltic; and that the suite:
ments in the Letter from Liverpool, inserted its
our Paper of yesterday, are not to be depentlecl o"
for their accuracy or calculations. We are like;
wise informed, that one of the great featores °.O
the Timber Trade with the king's Colo9les' f
the regular and animal employment of eleven e
twelve hundred sail of British Ships, navigated 13
as many thousand B:itish Seamen ;—whilst 11.1
Trade to the Baltic is carried on by at leas; (7114
half in Foreign Shipping ; and the Trade to Pt'
way altogether in ships belonging to that
try and Soo eden. Oar wish, however, to act inp
partially on the present subject, induced "5 to
insert the communications from Manchester °I
Liverpool on this subject, convinced that in 1 e
end tie truth will be elicited, and that the .6°l,
vernment will take care to give to the British Cl'
lonists and the Shipuwners every protection 64441
