FISHER’S  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.  

FIRST REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE  

ON SHIPWRECKS.  

It is subject of regret, that public time should be expended, the  

public purse drawn on, useful public servants occupied on subject, or  

in manner wholly innocuous; but, it is still deeper source of sorrow,  

when the same energies, and talents, and services, are employed in  

working an absolute injury. Now, to present to the nation as the  

solemn report of experienced, able, disinterested, impartial, independent  

men, the document of which we here submit copy, is, we contend for  

it, public injury, because, being looked upon as authentic, its readers  

are naturally disposed to place confidence in its conclusions. How  

much that portion of society would err, which assigned any value to  

this contemptible document, will be apparent to our readers, not only  

from its own internal evidence, but from several statements embodied  

in it, which we feel bound, in very especial manner, to animadvert  

upon. To make our remarks more intelligible, their propriety and  

applicability as apparent as possible, we have adopted the mode of an  

interpolated commentary: —  

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Shipwreck of British Ves-  

sels, and the Means of preserving the Lives and Property of Shipwrecked Per-  

sons, and to whom the Reports of 1836 and 1839, and the several Petitions on  

the subject were referred, and who were empowered to report thereupon from  

time to time 'to the House ;—Have considered the Matters referred to them,  

and have agreed to the following, being their First Report  

Their inquiry has embraced two points: first, the loss of British vessels,  

and the means of diminishing that loss in future. Second, the means of preserv-  

ing the lives and property of shipwrecked persons.  

Having obtained returns of the British ships lost during the years 1841-2-3, as  

VOL. IV. —NO. 15.
