The Liverpool Docks and American shippers
A meeting Of merchants and ship owners inter-

afternoon at the Office of Robert Kermit Esq 76
South-st TO devise suitable measures for codPerat
ing with the movements now in progress ct Liver
pool regarding the use of Fire and Lights on board
vessels while in the Docks at that port
1t appeared by statements made at this meeting
that the severity, not to say cruelty and folly oil
these restrictions had long been felt by ell persons
engaged in this trade; bat no decisive steps were
taken until December last, when public meeting
was held in the Cotton Sales Room, Merchants
Exchange, Liverpool-at which the following Me-
mortal was drawn up and upon unanimous vote
signed by the Chairman in behalf Of the meet
ing-vZ:

The following resolution was also presented at
the meeting-spoken to with much eloquence and
earnestness by several Clergymen and shlpmas
tiers, and unanimously adopted;
Resopld That Chrittianty and Humanity alike demand
the use of Fires and Lghs on board Of vesses while 10 s

will be safe and polite.
The chairman of this meeting, with Committee
appointed for the purpose, waited upon the Dock
Commissioners OF Liverpool with the Memorial,
and in pres enting it made great number OF state.
ments-among which were these important ana
interesting facts:
Isl That the ships while in the Docks, under
these restrictions, are more posed to damage by
FIRE. owing to its clandestne use, than they would
be if it were allowed under proper regulations.
3D. That the want OF these essential comi0rtsOn
board ship, necessarily drove the seamen aud OH
GERS into the streets by night exposing them TO
vices destructive beyond example or belief
3rd That most of the losses of ships in the Liv-
erpool trade are outward bound, instead oil Inward
bound vessels whereas in all other ports the re-
verse is the fact This Ia attributed 70 the usages

Gagged in the Liverpool trade were not regularly
brought up in it the reverss holding true OF ship
masters trading TO all other ports. Indeed II ap
peared that hardly an individual engaged IA ths
trade has achieved distinction IN IT. the great ma

Some of these statements having been posi-
lively denied the Com nittee offered ~ prove them
if opportunity were afforded. A Subcommittee
was accordingly appointed by the Liverpool DOCK
Committee and ali these statements aud macy
more were abundsnty verified Here for time
the matter rested. In April last, however nothing
having been he ard from the Dock Committee, an
other public meeting was called az the LlVerpoOl
Exchange; and after an animated discussJn
Committee was then appointed TO request toe PuO'
lcgtion Of the testimony which had been la1 be-
fore the Dock Committee. The latter, however,
refused to permit the publication of the evidence.
A third and private meeting was then lmmc
diately called, and Committee oil Captains ap-
pointed TO wait upon the BIRKENHEAD DDck
Trustees TO ascertain If accommodations could be
procured at their Docks The Committee re-
ceived a favorable impression from the results OF
this interview.
This ground having been gone over at the
meeting in this City on Saturday, and properly DIS
cussed the steps already taken were fully can
resolutions were then offered and unanlmo1sly
adopted 1t will be seen that the New York
parties have agreed upon measures which mast
bring the whole matter to a speedy issue;

Further action is Of course suspended until the
effect of this latter movement is ascertained. We
understand that cur underwriters and shippers
have interested themselves in this matter, together
with the Seamen's Friend Society, before whom
the subject has been laid. The decided actios thus
taken will undoubtedly exert an inaaence on the
other side, and it is hoped that the sympathy and
cooperation OF our cirzens mGy be enlisted In the
