(From Wilmer’: European flsm).

We beg to lay before you as usual at this season, our statistics of the past year's business in the stile of ships, and, notwith- standing it shows ii less result than that of I854, still we regard it is as highly satis- fnctory,—muking due allowance for the general interruption most branches of corn- merce have suffered from our protracted war, the increased price of money, &c.,-- and, though the demand for the transport service, which, in 1654, employed so much tonnage, has continued, it liiis been chiefly confined to steam-ships, to the ne lect of sailing vessels, except in caseso direct»

ple and the Black Sea.

\Vc stated to you last Janiinry, and at the same titiie explained the cause “that from the iiiuntli ofseptoinber to the middle] ot'Dcco:-nibor, there were but few trausac-I tioiislo i-t-.poi't;” lltiWC\‘t‘l‘, with the new}

year the dcinaiid for tonnage was l’t’SUlI'l('tl,! and has C0lIllIlllt'tl without any considerable, iuti-rrtiption in the face of those dcpt'c~.-'sitig§ influences we have referred to, us \\'('ll as It: tardy and soincwliat capi-it-io-.is improve-. merit in frciglits. It is it little anomalous that the most iunrlicd lllI|)l'tl\'l‘lllt‘llt in prices! took place between Septciiiln-r and I);-eein-I her, during which time the rate ofdiscounti advanced froui-1 to 7.} [:('l’ ccut. ’

As if to compensate for some disadvnn-l tugcs, circumstances of great interest and, permanent benefit to the ship-builder and' ship-owiior have iiriscii, which have contri- buted in no small degree to produce the result we have here to record. VVlien the measure of admitting foreign ships to Bi-i-l tish registration free ofduty was before the, country, it met with the strongest opposi-I tioii from parties who iii-gr-rl that we should. be inundated with tonnage from the inuu-l rnerable building statioiu-i in the Unitcdl States of .\tllf.‘I'lCtl, from the Baltic, audl elsewhere, uiiich, coming into competition: with British and Colonial Ships, would} seriously cripple, it not wholly destroy our] buiIdiug-tr.ido,—liow far this fear was well; f

ounded,foiiryeiirs’ expcricuce oftlic work-; ing oftlie Act of I851 will a.iswcr. ()f'tlie‘ few American Ships that have at times been placed upon this mar-kct, the most, have been withdrawn for prices it wits impossible to obtain, and under wliicli limits the owners could not :iti'orrl to sell them, and in every case consideralilyi above those of our best plantation ships, W'itli the Baltic even less business has been done. \Vo have Iiad several C0lIIInlSSl0IlS|

mctid thctn both as to model and material, yet the prices looked for remove all feat-oi competition from this qiinrtcr.

These liictstell wlint the i'(‘pe:il of the Navigntion Laws has not done. Vvc now desire to explain to you what the new Navigation Act has (101.15. Frrllowittg the policy ofthis country, the United Kingdom of Sweden and Not-wn_v has removed on- tirely the duty upon Bl'lll.<ll and Plantation

merchants of these C0\lIllllt'S finding they can purchase clienper here than elsewliere,t have become our valuable and respected customers. The amount of tonnage we have sold this year for Sciindinaviunnccouut is very considerable, and nothing can be more satisfactory than our transactions in this new market.

We have also to direct your attention to a recent Act (October) ofthe French go- vernment admitting, for it limited period, British and Colonial ships to French owne- ry, at an ad ralorem duty of I0 per ccnt., and which privileges our neighbours have availed themselves of to some extent. Contemporaneously with this boon,we have to direct you to the facilities now offered for classification in the Bureau Veritas or French Lloyd's, that society having formed a branch here, and ii pointed it surveyor‘ for the on who com inss with thorough lmowlo go as much painstaking considera- tion ss is consistent with his please-no-one» duties.

The number of’ ships liuilt and launched here the past year is 40, equal to l4,474 tons, ofwhich I7 nrc wood, equal to ‘.2614 tons, and ‘.23 are iron, equal to II,860 built ‘o the most part to order. 01' British sccotid-liunil ships very few have appear-oil on the market, although there has been a regular and constant enquiry for them, and in every case of sale excellent prices have been obtained for such as have had it few years of unexpired A 1 class; tlio's'c from 500 I0 700 ions have been in tlic grcatt-st demand; there is also abundant enquiry for small coasting vcsels, front 80 to 200 tons, adapted for taking the ground, and that will shill without ballast.

Tlicrc is not imicli alteration in the prices of British-built ships from last year. I'yiic-built 13 years A 1 class, with Baltic outfits, and not copper-ed, can be purchased at from .fl6 to £17 per ton; Cuinherland- built, of same class, from £19 to £'2‘.’.. Inferior class in like proportion.

Screw steamers of all sizes, being in good working order, are much demanded, and but few offering.

Colonial-built ships may now be quoted its follows: Very superior St. John’s,Mira- niichi, and Quebec, to class 7 years A I, at £7 105 to £8 5s; ordinary £7 to £7 Ills; those clussing 4 years £6 I05; inferior £5 to £5 I0s.

Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia-- some few have sold remarkaby well-—say from .156 "I05 to £7; the majority are worth from £4 to £5 15 per ton.

From the United States,thc returns show an extraordinary decrease compared to that of I85-I, the compiler in New York accom- panics them with this rcmurk—" The past has been at year of depression unexanipled within a generation in the ship-yards. It is evident litilc will be done on speculation. 'I‘lic ships building now are for some speci-

ic and ascertained purpose." Including sailing and steam-vessels the returns in I855 nrc 37——‘29,967 tons, against I(lS-- t-'lI,3tltI in lt~‘5-I. On the stocks at close I7--‘.2I.7'.20, against l6—‘20,033 in 1854.

merely requiring that they shall be, as well as the rigging, “iii good o_rdci'_$"lf"lh may be in good order, but deficient in size, which is much too often the case. ' ‘o tnlm advtintiigc of this is bad policy, and acts against themselves, both in the prices their Sllipst bring, and by injuring the sale of really good vessels, entitled only to similar class, beside which, it leads to many nits- uiidcrstnudiiigs between the ‘sellers and tho ptircliiisvrs when they sold with it _fltlI!T1llll(‘f5 of class.

To Pictou and Prince Edward Island build the same remarks apply. Many of them come here with old rigging and old ground tackle. It appears almost hopeless to remonstrate with these builders, who continue to send here for sale vessels,_tliiit, seem to be modelled without any object,‘ indifferent in finish, of low class materials, and unfitted for the only trade their size and class will suit: some half-dozen making a happy exception to the general rule, have sold quic ly and at good prices, as high as £7 for 4 year class, which shoul satisfy these gontlernon how.,mticl_I they compromise their own. interests _hy this continued slop-style of W01’ .

The provisions of the New Registry Act (part 2 oftlio Merchant Shipping Act I854) wliicli came into oN;i-atioii on the lot of May Inst, have for the time, and may con- tiuue until parties become more acquainted with the changes introduced, to ullect our transactions. It is not now compulsory for ships to be registered anew on an entire change of owrici-sliip; and registry anew cannot be gratitctl on such cliangc except Ill..llIt¥ t-xistiiig pint of i-rrgisti-y, without going thrnu,-;li the cuiiipliciitcrl process of traiisl'cri-lug their registry from one point to iinutlicr.

In the case of Colonial vessels, it was found iicct.-ssury to appeal to the Board of 'l\-udcfor tiuic to be allowed to enablg parties who were not prepared with the document rcqtiircd by the new Act, to dis- pose of the ships in hand; and, therefore, it may be advisable to remind tlioso enga- ged in the Colonial trade, that it is essential in the case of‘ such vessels coming over for sale, and which had not been registered there, that the builder's certificate be en- dorscd with a pass signed by the Governor, or his locum tennis, and when registered there, that in order to obtain registry anew in this country, they be accompanied by a certificate of sale, or statutory power of Attorney, which being an official docu- merit, and exliibiting the true ownership and interest, is thus designed to affor to ,purchasers the most perfect security. In the same way the document will be found very useful in fucilaitting the sale of British registered vessels abroad.

The new mode of measurement has con- siderably decretiscdtlic tonnage of vessels to which it has been applied, the average being, about 7 per cent. VVe believe the prospects for the year are good, and that prices may bccorno more rcinunorativo to the builders, especially for those of from 700 to 1000 tons, which at all times sells better and more quickly tliiin overgrown ships of from l-100 to 2000 tons, which cannot hold their fnstcniiigs when stagger- ing under a Weight of cargo that would surely try the best hardwood ship that can be built.
