']> ally largo attendance After private busin< had been disposed of Mr. Watts callcd att< tion to the present state of the underwnti !)» business. Last year, he said, several memo* ia were unable to meet their engagements; an O fluential body of members had retired, on 1 i) eround that underwriting was not only i k! profitable but a ruinous occupation: some dividuals had given up .business wholly, otlie i\ in part—some determining to refuse to insi goods to any port of export, especially mai factured goods shipped from tho Mersey or 1 Clvde. In fact, the business was not only coming less profitable and more hazardous, I a kind of gambling, in which the stake was underwriter's whole capital, and where sd and loaded dice were used against h kn The underwriter's risk was supposed. to bei everywhere and end nowhere. On this buoj of increased risk the speaker said: First, th id was a great change made in size of mcrcam vessels; the unwieldy and dangerous class a vessels now employed; the clipper nuisance t : danger; the use of iron in the construction large ships; the difficulty, as every shipow. well kne v, of procuring competent captamß i mates, the impossibility of manning ships w able-bodied British, seamen; the necessity cd making use of undersized, drunken, outport : s.) foreign lubbers, Quite unfit for seamen s nut thanks to legislative tinkering of the laws ignorant statesmen, for the most part set x. motion by interested adventurers who now the consequences of their own selfishness; j were most eager to retrace their steps; ab all look at the increasing risk of collision, a ing from the introduction of steam, and «<1 reckless sacrifice of safety to speed. Kach these changes would constitute a large item 14), the list of additional liabilities; but conibii lw, they press with sucli crushing force on the derwriter's profits aud capital, as to make \vt underwriting business one of certain loss, c perhaps, of .ultimate ruiu, if persevered in ' any extent." . , The unwieldy and dangerous class of vessels ferrcd to probably did not exceed 20C0 or at most 30CD tons capacity but perhaps the n interesting reference is to "the impossibilitj ck- manning ships with able-bodied British scan the necessity of making use of undersi 121, drunken, outport and foreign lubbers, quite ck- fit for Boainon's duties, thanks to legisla I tinkering of tho laws by ignorant etateemei
