LIVERPOOL STEAM-PACKET ASSOCIATION.
AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the LIVERPOOL
STEAM-PACKET ASSOCIATION, 13th November,
1840, held for the purpose of taking into consideration cer-
tain matters affecting the interests of Steam Navigation,
SAMUEL PERRY, Esq., in the Chair,
The Chairman having laid before the meeting a printed
copy of the Trinity House Rule, respecting the Navigation of
Steam Vessels,_

It was moved by JOHN POLLOCK, Esq., and seconded by
CHARLES MAC IV.ER, Esq.,
That, although the Rule for the Navigation of Steam Ves-
sels, lately issued by the Trinity House and confirmed by the
Admiralty, is not the rule or practice that has heretofore pre-
vailed with any Steam Vessels navigating St. George's
Channel, or with any Steam Vessels sailing to or from the
port of Liverpool • vet, as the said Rule of the Trinity House
has been adopted' by the Admiralty, it is, in the opinion of
this meeting, desirable that all the Liverpool Steam Compa-
nies do conform thereto.

Moved by THOMAS WTEAR, Esq., seconded by JAMES
A. FonsuAw, Esq.,

" That the Steam Companies of Liverpool do hereby agree,
that, on and after the 19th November—When any Steam
Vessels, on different courses, must unavoidably or necessarily
cross so near that by continuing their respective courses
there would be risk of coming in collision, each vessel shall
put her HELM TO PORT, so as always to pass on the
LARBOARD side of each other.

" A Steam Vessel passing another in a narrow channel
must always leave the Vessel she is passing on the LAB,
BOARD hand."

Moved by JAMES BREBNER, Esq., seconded by JOHN
DOUGLAS THOMSON, Esq.,
That the utmost publicity be given to the proceedings of
this Meeting, and that extracts therefrom be sent to all the
Irish and Scotch ports, with a recommendation to follow the
same.
