If.-\ustria plays us false in this emergency, it will be no more than Austria has done before on similar occasions.

THE SHIPPING OF THE WORLD.

Several colisions between _ships have taken place olfour oivn coasts, and _it has been stated on authority that such collisions are much _on the increase. Whether the increased_ and in- creasing number of vessels which navigate the ocean was taken into consideration_in making the assertion does not a pear. but it ought to be. According to the o cial returns, the total number of vessels that entered and left our ports on coasting and foreign voyages, includ- ing repeated entrances and departures by the same vessels, and, of course including foreign vessels, was in-

The increase in the number of ships was_in the ten years only 1 4-10 per cent., but the in- crease in the tonnage that went to and fro was 31; per cent. Tliree elements conihinc continu- ally to increase the chances of collision—tlie increase in the number of ships, their reater size, and their more rapid movement; ut all may be counteracted by increased skill and care in captains: and probably in the end It will turn out that collisions become fewer in proportion to the number of ships.

We are to have a Census taken this summer, and we look for much information and advan- tage from the results. We had occasion, some few days since, to look into the statistics of the Island, for the purpose of answering certain queries of a gentleman in England, and were enabled to fulfil our task tolcrably well by the aid of the Census taken in former years, and the Custom House and Excise returns in the A n- dix of each of the Journals of the Assembly. We re ret that the Census Bill for the year was liurrie , as it were, through the Legislature, as the Schedules of the last were very imperfect, and might have been amended in this, and there is no excuse for any want of fulness there may be in that ofthe present year, as the Members of the Legislature had the Census of the United Kingdom, and that ofthe United States to uide them.
