1857, the

ous test; for we find «hat in number of ships entering was the largest ever known. Glasgow had not at that date deepened the Clyde so as to make her the great shipping port she has since becomo, nor had the other shipping ports now so promineat, risen to deprive Liverpool of the preponder- ance in her relative share of the ship- ping trade of the British Isles, When we examine the real tést, the amount of tonnage, the discrepancy disappears. The tonnage during the dast year amounts to 8,527,531, the greatest yet recorded, exceeding by nearly three millions the tonnage of the year 1857 in which the largest number of ships Visited th Mersey.

The ratio of increase in the aterave tonnage of sea-goiag ships in a circum- stance we have often noted of late years in dealing with the shipping trade of our own ports. Atthe beginning of this century, we are told, the average burthen of ships eatering the Mersey, did not exceed 100 tons. In 1830 it had increased to 129 tons, and by

1860, oWing to the progress of steam naviga- tion it hud reached 222 tons, During the past year tke average has been a fraction above 400 tons, including the small coasting craft. Separating the foreign from the coasting trade, the ocean-going ships have béen’5,955 in number, with an average burthen of 1,020; the coasters numbering 15,360, the average burthen 160 tons. To borrow Lord © Mucaulay’s phrase, “Within the memory of men noné living.” the Ain ysmill, belonging to | Sir John Gladstone—the first ship |} whieh sailed form Liverpool to the East after the restrictions of the trade were removed—considered a large ship only reached 300 tons, a fact which ev- ables us to estimate the prodigious ad- vances which has been made.

The toll taken from so enormous a trailic ay that done by these twenty-one thousand vessels eight and a haif mil- lion tons (nearly sixty arrivals or departures every day) must reach an enormous aggregate, and so we find that the income of the Board from ships and tonnage was £981,316 income from all sources during the year has been £1,273,752. And the expenses £1,073,657, leaving an unappropriated balance of about £200,000.
