AxA T a GENERAL MEETING of SHIP-OWN-
ENS, convened by public Advertisement, at the CM

LIAJIENT AGAINST any ALTERATION in the EX-
-ISTI%G LAWS that may be prejudicial to BRITISH
SHIPPING,
JOHN WILLIAM svcimr, P. 9. in the Chair:
. . .

Resolved unanimously, 1. That the British Ship-Owners arc
tae present time labouring under grey and serious difficulties,
well from the state ef general depression of the commerce of
tee kingdom as from the competition of foreign ship-owners.
2. That this Meeting cannot, at such a moment, contemplate
v.ithdut the greatest alarm, the adoption of any legislative mra-
:-...rt which may have a tendency to relax the 1:1V/6 of navigation
:o the prejudicit of the British Ship-Owner, or to deprive him
in a..v d• gree of the resource which is :,ifortieti by the trade with
the British Colonies in North .loierica.

7.. That in whatever 4e tee encouragement may be given to
incre:s••d impottationsvf Foreign Timber will the interests of
British ihipping be injured, and as this Meeting believe, with-
out any equivalent good being derived to this country.
4. That a Petition be therefore present-d to Parliament, set-
ting furth the grounds of the opinions of this N:eeting as above
stand; and eurnestly entreating that no measures may be
adopted calculated to prejudice the interests of British Shipping ;
which could not fail to be the consequence of•any alteration in
the duties on Timber, that should place the importers from the
British Colonies upon a less favourable footing than under the
laws at present existing.
The Petition which had been prepared by the Committee
wn then read, and unanimously approved.
5. That the •Members of the City of London be requested to
po:tarr.t and support the said Petition..
