Tuesday evening last to take into consideration the
bill which has been brought into Parliament by Her
Majesty's government, for repeating the navigation
laws of this country and making other importa mt
alterations alleged to be destructive to the welfare of
all classes connected with the shipping interest The
meeting was numerous and highly respectable, COM
prising not only all the leading and influential ship
owners and tradesmen, but great number of
seamen and working men engaged in mercantile
MIR. Thomas Bell called upon to pre-
side, and having opened the business, MIR John Clay
proposed the first resolution to the effect That the
principle OF the navigation laws is based founda
ton OF wisdom and sound policy, and Is the source Of
the extraordinary greatness of England, aud Of the
strength and superiority of her naval power in all parts
Of the world.' The motion was seconded by Mr. Tho
mas Forsyth and was carried unanimously Mir Jas
Mather moved the next resolution to the effect That
the measure which has been introduced into Parlia-
nent by her Maestys government is virtually total
repeal Of those laws; and, if carried out will be the
means of INJECTING serious injury shpowners, ship
builders seamen shpwrights, and all other artisans
and tradesmen dependent on or connected with
the mercantile marine" Mr.. Mather supported
the motion in a speech Of considerable length, aud
entered into variety Of statistical details in illus

OF Mr. Labouchere, with respect to the character of
captains Of merchant vessels, and British seamen

the statements of the British consuls abroad
as to the preference given to the foreign vessels

success Of his measure in the House of Commons Mr.
Christopher Wawn the father Of the hon. member
for the borough, and of the oldest shipowners
of the port, seconded the motion. He considered

community The introduction of the reciprocity
system by Mr.. Huskisson, had reduced the value
of shipping property fully one-third, after it had

sacrifice not only the property Of shpowners but that

British seamen Of the means of gaining livelihood,
and bringing ruin on all concerned in the mercantile
navy of the kingdom. 1t monstrous that the 60
should be allowed thus to trife with tho in
terests Of large class of the community The motion
having been put and carried, Mr. John Robinson pro-
posed the next resolution, to the effect That it Is

uncompromising opposition to this bill, and to
every constitutional means in power to proven 1t
