it T a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of the LIVER-
POOLS]. SHIPOWNERS' ASSOCIATION, held 10th
March, 1841—Present,

R. S. HENDERSON, in the Chair.
The attention of the Association having been directed to
the Resolutions of the American Chamber of Commerce, of
the 2d instant, recommendatory of a revision of the whole
present system of Customs Duties, and the reduction thereof
on Timber and other Articles, it was

Resolved unanimously,
That it has ever been esteemed the soundest policy of Great
Britain to foster and increase our maritime strength, and as
this arm of power and defence is mainly dependent on the
existence of a large commercial marine, the encouragement of
distant commerce (especially with our own colonies) is an
object of the highest national importance, deserving at all
times the utmost attention of the government, and particu-
larly so now, when it has been considered proper largely to
recruit the navy.

That no more commercial intercourse can be more gene-
rally advantageous or meritorious than that most extensive
trade which now subsists between Great Britain and her
American colonies, because the whole of the immense capital
invested in that trade is employed exclusively for the benefit
of British subjects. The timber is fallen by British settlers,
it is paid for in British manufactures, exported in British
ships, navigated by British seamen, and by the same means
of transport the timber is brought to this country, employing
a vast number of British ships, and paying a large amount of
freight to the shipowner, and which again is expended in
Great Britain in seamen's wages, provisions, naval stores,
and the employment of numerous mechanics and labourers
engaged in the outfit and equipment of shipping.
That it is very inexpedient to make any change in the pre-
sent scale of Duties on Timber. because for the reasons
above-mentioned such change would be detrimental, instead
of advantageous, to the community at large; and also be-
cause the remaining argument in support of such change,
viz., the alleged increase thereby of the revenue of this
country, is in the opinion of this Association equally fal-
lacious.
That the revenue of the state is at all times best sustained
by maintaining and increasing the natural sources of the na-
tional welfare, by affording all practical encouragement to
British industry of every class, and by avoiding the frequent
recurrence of legislative changes, which disturb the ordinary
current of trade, perplex and unsettle the minds of all per-
sons engaged therein, and weaken their confidence in the
stability of the system on which the government of the coun-
try is conducted.

That these Resolutions be published in each of the Liver-
pool newspapers, and that a Petition founded thereon be
transmitted to the members for the borough for presentation
to the House of Commons.

R. S. H ENDERSON, Chairman

CORNS, BUNIONS, &c.
THE Difficulty of procuring a Remedy that is really bene-
ficial in eradicating those painfully hard, and callous
substances called CORNS, has been long felt by the Public.
The Proprietor of the ANTI-CALLOSITY or RUSSIAN
CORN AND BUNION PLAISTER, feels great confidencce
in recommending it as the most certain cure for all Callous
Swellings on the Feet, that has ever yet been invented. By
the use of this Plaister immediate Benefit will be found, and
in a short time a Radical Cure will be effected, not by cut-
ting, (which is generally attended with Danger,) but by gra-
dually dispersing the Hard or Soft Corn, and entirely
removing those painful throbbings so severely felt at every
Change of Weather.
