In a Iverting to this topic the Directors may men tion that they were happy to have an opportunity During the current year the subject of rail of uniting with their fellow citizens in doing hon our to Sir Henry Pottinger during his visit to Glas way communication with the south was at gow, in April last, and in testifying their sense of various times brought before the Directors, who his services they sincerely recognized the obliga investigated the respective morits of the several tion under which his able diplomacy has laid the lines proposed, and after due deliberation, commercial interests of the kingdom by opening solved to adhere to their former determination up the trade with China to the enterprise and on- of supporting with the influence of the Cham-ergy of the British merchant and manufacturer. ber the Caledonian and Scottish Central pro- jects. They accordingly memorialized the Board of Trade, and petitioned both Houses of Parliament in favour of those lines-the Cale❘ donian as affording the most direct route from Glasgow to Central of forming an important continuation of the Great Trunk line north wards, and presenting the greatest facilities for the passenger and goods traffic between this city Edinburgh, Perth, and the north of Scot- land. The Directors were happy to observe that their views on this subject received con- firmation, as wellby the subsequent reports of the Board of Trade, as by the ultimate decision

In the course of last session, an Act was pas sed for the protection of scamen entering on board merchant ship," the main object of which was to guard that valuable class of men from the imposition hitherto practised on them under the "crimping system," by enacting that none but persons properly qualified and licensed by the Board of Trade should be permitted to provide crews for vessels, or interfere in any way, under severe penalties, with the hiring of scamen. It appeared, however, to the Directors thit un ess the proposed licenses were to be confined to a very limited number, and under th strictest regulations, the evil intended to be remedied would be increased rather than dimi- nished, inasmuch as there would be a risk of those licenses being obtained by the very per- sons whom it was the object of the Act to put down, and who would then have the appearance of legal sanction for their proceedings. A me- morial was therefore addressed to the Board of Trade pointing out this probable abuse, and suggesting a mode by which it might be avoid- ed; and a reply was received from that Baard fully entering into the views of the Chamber, and stating that steps would be promptly adopt- ed for giving them effect; and, although, from some oversight, an obstacle has occurred, which prevents for the present the satisfactory work- ing of the proposed plan, yet it is hoped that a very short time will suffice to put everything in proper train for giving it a fair trial.
No legislative enactment has yet been ob tained for the examination of masters aud ma- tes in the merchant service; but the Directrrs are happy to find that this measure has at length been taken up in the proper quarter,
and a system of regulations established from which the best results may be expected, not only as a means of clevating the status of those intrusted with the charge of the merca tile marine of the country, but of insuring the safety of the lives and property committed to their care.
