IMPORTANT TO SHIPMASTERS AND MATES.
AS an attempt is makibg by a party, against the wishes
and interests of Shiptnasters generally, to make the
Liverpool Shipmasters' Association subservient to the pur-
pose of aiding Captain Fitzroy's Bill;
The following is a copy of a Petition lying at the Exchange
Room, and at Mrs. Dodd s, James-street, which all Ship-
masters on perusing will perceive it their interest to sign
forthwith :
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.
The humble Petition of Shipmasters sailing from the
Port of Liverpool,

" Showeth,
" That your Petitioners view with anxious concern the
proposal for a Bill to regulate the Profession of Masters and
Mates in the Marine Merchant Service.
" That your Petitioners humbly submit, that said Bill
would have the effect of degrading the profession of Ship-
masters and Mates to the level of 'common badge Porters,
allowing them to ply for hire under a stringent code of regu-
lations, without affording them any protection.
" That your Petitioners humbly submit, that any proposed
Bill purportine to be for the regulation of Shipmasters and
Mates should define their rights and express the minimum
rate of wages per annum to be paid to such Captains and
Mates, and heavy penalties against all persons guilty of
employing other Captains and Mates than those certified by
the proposed Board of Examination.
That your PetitiOners humbly submit, that any law for
the compulsory qualification of Shipmasters and Mates in
the Marine Merchant service, or proposed Board of Exami-
nation for such purpose, are alike uncalled for and unneces-
sary, and would tend to the depression and serious injury of
the service generally.
" Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly but earnestly pray
your Honourable House that no such Bill may be allowed to
pass into a Law.
" And your Petitioners will ever pray, Bcc."

THE COFFEE TRADE.
THIS important branch of commerce (particularly as
attached to our own port) being now consolidated by
the operation of the New Tariff, has caused a considerable
alteration in prices ; and in accordance with the system with
which we started this concern, when alterations take place,
we deem it requisite to give it publicity, which we shall al-
ways keep in view for the benefit of consumers.
Having by careful estimate of all the different varieties
now in THE PORT OF LONDON, and comparing the same with
the qualities here obtainable, and the quantities likely to be
forthcoming of the most deservedly popular sorts, we are
now prepared to submit a scale of prices which will be found
to include the long-expected desideratum of ECONOMY and
EXCELLENCE. Much has been said of the disappointment
that would be found in the operation of the New Scale, as
only one penny per pound reduction appears to be made on
by far the greater portion of the RAW COMMODITY, namely,
on East India and Foreign kinds, and twopence per pound
on British Plantation, of which the consumption is diminu-
tive compared with the former, as will appear by the official
returns, to which we refer you ; this would seem to be hardly
acceptable to the consumer, but this narrow view of a grand
commercial question shuts out the most important feature,
since it is not the mere statistic impost, but the important
fact of the FINEST COFFEES grown on the face of the globe
being now admissible at the same duty as trash, which will
give the immense advantage, when energy, experience, and
capital are employed to secure it. This is lost sight of by
the majority of dealers who have no opportunity of seeing
all that comes to EVERY MARKET, and without this the best
purchases are never known to them ; and pass for the most
part, into hands who tax largely on the uuwitting confidence
of tho,e who never see the said goods until they are in
second hands.
The absurd practice of sending cargoes from foreign ports
hake round the world, to be re-shipped and re-entered at the
Cape of Good Hope, to the great deterioration of the quality,
and thus largely enhancing the cost, is Now EXPLODED, so
that the first cost of the article has to be added to the re-
duction of the tax.
H., W., and Co., taking their aata from these points, lost
sight of by most, and acting up' to their determination, have
made arrangements always to secure just that description of
goods which will, by contributing to their correspondents'
interests, increase their credit and connexion, and enable
them to supply henceforth

We are aware that a prejudice, not altogether groundless,
does exist among many families, in giving orders to new es-
tablishments. but we know also, that continued perseverance,
followed up by fair and honourable dealing, will, eventually,
remove this prejudice. It is true that the public, were they
invariably to receive, and act upon every assertion, and listen
to all pretensions which come before them, would frequently
be deceived, but at the same time we would beg to suggest,
that it is not an invariable rule, and that there are some who,
from motives of principles as well as policy, act systemati-
cally just ; and in doing so, we contend, it is to their in-
terests, for on no other system can confidence on the part of
or expected. In conclusion, we repeat,

respectfully solicit an impartial comparison.

CORNS, BUNIONS, &c.
THE Difficulty of procuring a Remedy that is really
beneficial in eradicating those painfully hard and callous
substances called CORNS, has been long felt by the Public.

dence in recommending it as the most certain cure for all

in-
vented. By the use of this Plaister immediate Benefit will
be found, and in ishori time a Radical Cure will be ef-
fected, not by cuttiug (wich is generally attended with dan-
ger), but by gradually dispersing the Hard or Soft Corn,
and entirely rernoviDg those painful throbbings so severely.

TO THE ELECTORS OF GREAT GEORGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE time is approaching when the important trust of
acting as your Representative in the Town Council,
confided to me three years ago, will again revert into your
hands. _ _

Before, however, this time arrives, I claim the privilege of
stating, that I have uniformly and independently acted upon
the terms of my Address at that period, and upon which con-
ditions I became your Representative, viz. :
" In accepting the invitation, it must be understood, that
I commit myselt by no pledge, and that I am to be at perfect
liberty, either to oppose or support any measure, proceeding
from what party it may. which may appear to me detrimental
or advantageous to the Town or Trade of Liverpool."
Since then I have devoted much valuable time to the per-
formance of the duties which devolved upon me, and have
given to every subject my best attention, influenced solely by
the desire of discharging those duties conscientiously.
Amongst the important questions that have engaged the
attention of the Council during this period, was one upon
the expediency of erecting Warehouses upon the quays of the
New Docks now constructing. In the support of this mea-
sure I took a decided part, from a conviction that such an
object was calculated to promote the best interests of the
Port.
Another most important subject, which has occupied much
of the time of the Council, was the system of Education in
the Corporation Schools. On this question great diversity
of opinion exists. There is no doubt but that the system of
Education, as now established in those Schools, is most un-
exceptionable if the children of Protestants were alone to be
studied ; but when we consider the Funds of the Corporation'
are derived from a public trust-1 am of opinion (although a
promoter and firm supporter of the Church of England
Schools) that it will be very desirable to see such relaxations
made in the system, without impairing its efficiency for Pro-
testants, as would permit children of all denominations to
participate in its benefits.
In all discussions of this question I have endeavoured to
promote this view of the case; and although many may differ
with me upon the subject, I have the satisfaction of feeling
that I have been actuated solely by a desire faithfully to dis-
charge my duty.
I am, with respect,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS ROBINSON.
