MEETING OF SHIP-OWNERS.

•
Yesterday morning a Meeting of the• Deputies ap-
pointed by the Ship-owners of the principal out-ports of
'Great Britain. was held at the City of London Tavern,
for the purpose of conferring with the Ship-owners of
ate port of London, on the parent distreszed state of
the obippiag interest, to consider of the best miens
of obtaining relief, and for the appointment of an
acting Committee.—At one (Mock a very numerous
and respectable body of the Ship ow nerchad assembled.
A few minutes after one, the Committee entzled the
.rosaymil Jewai.i.• was called to the Chair. •
Mr. LY .04-stitted she object of the Meeting to be ti
'take.the bast meaps of laying before the Govern t;
the extremely depressed state of the shiPping int 4
Defferencer might arise as to the cause of it, but song
as to the fact. • The Committee had not been aorkiridi
ful if the great trust reposed to them. In the moats
of August la'st, they had laid a memorial before the
Government, detailing their distressed condition, and
suggesting means of relieving them. No answer bad
jet heen given ; but yet, from the correspondence which
bad been had, it appeared there was every dispositioh,
as far as possible. to afford relic'.
Mr. CiIArMAN congratulated the Meeting on the ar
rival of the deputies from all the 4.Ut pnrts. The • re-
solution which be meant to propose was, that the Com-
mittee of London of last year be continued for this
year, and that they be ordered to confer with the de.
puties on the be. t means of relief. They would be ar,
small body,' and therefore well cakulated to coodect
these important matters. and to gain access to the Go-
vernment. The causes of the existing distress had now
been so fully developed; that comment had become
Unnecessary.
Mr., Janet Yotixo, without meaning to eppose this
resolution, wished t, -korner uhettyr there was not a.

siring of resolutioni prtpaied ? bccAuse. if so, it would.
-be ♦ery, desirable that they should be read to the meet•
iag At once, in order that it might be wen whether they
aubrAced the whole question.

The CUAIHMAa objected tn'tbis course.
Mr. J. You.so exervssed tits astonishment. The
country was wh'illy
.ignutant of the whole question.
The country had got a st:ange notion or the benefit
of cheapness; but ISe would nay, it was better to pay
oar o*n shipping two s'tiflings thin the tnirign one.
Onkel measures wete taken to secure the lumber trade,
and our shipping, it must inevitably be ruined —tCt efts.)
Mr. URNS/HARI* snegested, that it would be abetter,
Lcourse ),:o to Pdili4ment at once, rather th#44tepapt
to obtain any relief hum Ministers.
Mr. F. Youso seconded the tesoission:': If ifse 41119ci

ters in view would be best obtained by ionfiding 'in

'Client no* to waive any general discussion,.whicitersol&
take place with mire advantage at a subseqoentaitmetsi

Mr. J. Toono admitted that this etplanation wet Is
some measure satisfactory; the trade was in the mist
horrible condition; there was no employment, and
prospect of any in future; the result must be the)*
of our Colonies. He denounced the advantages which
had been granted to the Norther.; Powers. He amok*
it very derogatory to the importance of the subject.*
eall.a meeting merely to appoint a Committee. Map
ought to approach Government at once, and state %Mit
con&tion and their claims. They ought. to insist ott
the lumber trade being carried on in British ships.—
We were the great .consumers of umber, and loose-
quently had a tight to say, that we would insist' on
being the cutlers of it, and if they threw any obstacles
in our way, we ought to tell them that we had
colonies of our own, from whence we could obtain
every thing we wanted. He therefore proposed an
amendment, embodying these sentiments. He concluded
by stating, that the maintenance of the carrying trade of
timber, in Bridal ships, was intimately connected with
all the best interests ache empire; and more especially
with our future means of defence.

Before
-
Before the amendment was put,
Mr. F. YOUNG suggested the propriety of proposing
this as a declaratory resolution, in which he felt that the
meeting would entirely concur.
Mr. J. YOUNG replied, that ai he regarded the Isiah'
object rather than the means, he would readily waive:a
*ratter of form.
Mr. Joint Bocirca would be extremely glad that a
declaratory resolution, such as had been suggested,
should be proposed; but still he had so much confidence
in the Committee, that he should wish the Resolutions
they pro_med should first be gone through.
Mr. CHAPMAN and Mr. F. Youwa entirely concurred
in the sentiments conveyed in the Resolution. It would
have their cordial support.
Mr. J. Yours—Cheapness was completely a secondary
'consideration, when ourselves were to be the agents, and
ours the capital to be employed.
The declaratory resolution of Mr. James Young was
then pot from the Chair.
Mr.GoOLD seconded the resolution. If we went to
our own docks, we SAW at the quays nothing but foreign
tinsels loading and unloading, with their colours flying
and fully rigged, while at the buoys at the centre, with
brooms at their mast heads. and having nothing to do,
our ships were actually rotting in our ports. He con.
(wowed in very strong and pointed observations, the
the,,retic notions of the present day. So long as Mr.
liuskissoo was weighed down by the opinions of men
who had much theory bat little practical interest in the
welfare of the main branches of our industry, there
was little to hope. He was glad, however, even in this
quarter, to perceive some symptoms of a change of 4
sentiments.--(Cheers.)
After some further conversation, Mr. Yorang's reso-
lution was put and unanimously carried. The original
resolution was also' put and carried ; and another, re•
hating to the formation of the Committee. The name
of Mr..l. Young, Mr. N. Gould, Mr. Urquhart, and
two or three others were added to the Committee.—
Thinks viers given to the Chairman, and the Meeting
broke op at three o'clock.

The wide even is candid enough to adMit that the
secutive Commission at Egina has lately published
decree, not only prohibiting the plundering of foreign
ops, but calling upon the Commanders of the naval
faces of neutral Powers. to assist in pulling down this
tr y mg nuisance. It also contains extracts from thensieer-

lo the !Welker, which arrived last night with the
ober Paris Papers, there are adviees from Lisbon to
the Bth, and from Oporto to the 7th lest. The latter,'
•hich are three days later than those brought by the

last Li►bon Mail, state that the Gaily place which the
rebels held at that date was Braga, 'arheie they were
surrounded by the whole of the Constitutional troops,
under the command of the Marquis of ANGLIA, Count
VILLA Fi.oa and General Msta.o. From the great
care with .hich the Monitear is in the habit of selecting
intelligence, particularly of this nature, we look
upon the p.esent news as entitled to the IMINSt
confidesce, and may therefore expect tea hear shortly
of some decisive event in that quarter, where the
rebels hare clearly no other alternative but that
of fighting apparently it fearful adds, or of star.
tendering at discretion, as the Constitutional Generals,
it they respect themselves sr the best interests of their
country, cannot enter into any compromise with traitors
of that dectiptiou. In the meantime, delay will be
as prejudicial to the latter as favourable to their op.
ponnsts, tor unexpected obstacles and dangers have a
wonderful effect in damping the courage of rebels,
whilst the Coistitut'onalists„ having justice and att.,

tbority, as well as success on their side, may reason-
ably count upon seeing their ranks reinforced every
day. From these considerations, perhaps, it would not
be too sanguine to infer that this execrable commotion
has been before now cut up by the roots, and that itsl
authors have either suffered the punishment due to
their crimes, or have been forced to fly into Spain,
where, from the present temper of the Government,
they must consent to live in a state of restraint, if they
rim to enjoy personal security. The arrival of our troops
on the frontiers cern* fail to confirm this temper, and
at the sight of she British tag. we presume that aU
indecision on th4art of Spain will vanish at oneei and,
that her Government will be as anxious, as it has beet.
hitherto reluctant, to fulfil its engagements to the veryl
letter. As Mr. LAMS was still at Madrid at the date
of the latest advices in these Papers, which are to the
lOth ; and as not a word is said about his intention to
gait it, it may be reasonably inferred that 'he was fully
satisfied with thir assurances he had recently received
from that Court. 16 iisiiport of this inference in favour
of the conciliatory disposition if the Spanish Monarch,';
we a.may hese notice a statement. in which it is said that
he has ordered a body cf troops to Galicia, where theii
presence was obviously necessary, from the vicinity of
that it-ovine, to the late theatre of military operations
is Portugal. This measure was absolutely necessary, if
he intended to disarm and disperse the rebels as be had
repeatedly promised ; and he will be the raore tenacious
of keeping his word, as he must be aware that the ties.,
for evasion is past.

After writing the above, we received the Emile of
yesterday, but it contains no news of importance, either
from Spain or Portugal. It announces, however, a
considerable improvement in the Rent's.
