AT a MEETING of SHIPOWNERS and OTHERS,
held on Wednesday, the 21st instant, at the Underwriters'-
room, in this town,
HENRY C. CHAPMAN, Esq., in the Chair,
It was moved by Mr. S. S UTE, (Gibbs, Bright, and C 0.,)
seconded by Mr. D. CANNON, (D. -Cannon, Son, and C 0.,) and
carried unanimously,
That the provisions of the new Act of the American Congress
to regulate the Carriage of Passengers in Merchant Vessels, (of
which the first positive intelligence reached this country by the
Hibernia, on the 15th instant,) are seriously oppressive in the
case of Shipowners and ether parties who had entered into en-
c.afrements for the Carriage of Passengers to the United States
in ignorance of it.

Moved by Mr. W. J. LAMPORT, (Lamport and Irolt,) se-
conded by Mr. T. D. ANDERSON, (Glen and Anderson,) and
carried unanimously,
That a Memorial be prepared for presentation to Lord Pal-
merston,' preying that her Majesty's Minister at Washington
be instructed to make such representations to the United.
States Government as may have the effect of allowing all en-
gagements entered into in ignorance of the new act to be ful-
tilled, without rendering the Shipowners liable to any of the
penalties imposed by it; and that threegentlemen be requested
to proceed-to London as a Deputation to present the MemoriaL
In compliance with the above Resolutions, the following Me-
morial has been drawn up, and Mr. J. Miller, Mr. W. R. Coul-
horn, and Mr. Anderson. were appointed to form the Depu-
tation :
To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, her Majesty':
Principal .S'ecretary of State for Foreign Affair:.
The Memorial of the undersigned Shipowners and other Parties
concerned in the Carriage of Passengers fzo:n Liverpool to
the United States of America,
Showeth,—That, on the arrival of the sten/Tee Hibernia,
from the United States, on the 15th instant, your Memorialists
had the first official intimation of the enactment of a New L.Lw
by the Congress of the United States of Americr, to regulate
the Carriage of Passengers in Merchant VCE., els.
That, independent of other enactments, the effect of the sa'd
Act is to reduce the number of Passergers each Vessel is al-
lowed to bring into Ports of the United states, in proportion to
her tonnage and space • and its provisions, though some doubts
exist as to the interpretation of the Act, are generally consi-
dered to apply to all ships from Europe arriving in •United
States Ports, after the 81st of Mav proximo.
That, in ignorance of the said -Act, your Memorialists haVe
made numerous engagements for the carriage of Emigrant
Passengers to United States Torts, the number engaged for
each Ship, (though in accordance with the provisions of the
then and still existing Act of Congress,) being, in every in-
stance, considerably more than will be permitted by the new
Act.
That, of all the ships so circumstanced, some are already at
sea, while others are on the point of sailing, with their full
complement of passengers engaged.
That, should the winds be unfavourable, these ships may not
arrive at their destinatson before the 31st of May, and your
Memorialists and their Masters may hence be rendered liable
to the confiscation, fines, and imprisonments imposed by the
new Act in cases of infraction of its regulations.
That, even should your Memorialists escape the extreme pe-
nalties of the Act, they are apprehensive that their ships will be
subject to detention white each case is being inquired into, and
being considered by the authorities at Washington, which, initself, amount to the severest penalty.
Your Memorialists would, therefore, earnestly pray your
Lordship to cause such representations to be made to the Go-
vernment of the United States on this subject as may have
the effect of enabling your 'Memorialists to fulfil all engage-
ments entered into prior to their knowledge of the new law,
without. sabjecting them to its penalties or the detention of
infractions •
their ships in consequence of of its provisions,
committed in ignorance of its existence.
Which your Memorialists respectfully submit.

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE
IN THE GLOBE.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED.
Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847,
from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon
.Tournal.
Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next
door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eiht ulcers on it,
the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the
effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he made a
journey to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the
most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa-
mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have
both legs amputated, or die I—On his way home he met a gen-
tleman in the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per-
fectly cured by their means alone.
(Signed) CHARLES TULLY,
Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal.
To Professor Holloway.
A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF

ERYSIPELAS.

In the following remarkable case the lady bad been both deaf
and dumb from the virulence of the complaint.
February 191 h, 1847.
Airs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place, Cheltenham, was for two years
so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas that she became (how-
ever eNtraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from
the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she
was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in
Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a
last resource, she tried liolloway's Pills and Ointment, which
in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like-
wise restored her to health.

e Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New..
market Inn, Cheltenham' can bear witness to this cure. It can
a!so be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, nigh-
street, Cheltenham. _ _ _

In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and LTl-
cers, Bad Breasts, Sere NippTes, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers,
Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Itheumatism,and Lumba7.o, likewise
in cases of Piles; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought
to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be
eTected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that
It wculd require by using the Ointment alone. The ointment
is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes,
Chiegofoot. Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis-
eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical
climates.
Burns. Scald!, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bur.;ens and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use
of the Ointment.
