(Pee' rn'tie dra s it4;•aii, Celioier, Oct. ill) OPAEIGOWIAIPROVEMENTS-:—N'AVICIATION. The Buildings loing on in every part of this City for dwelling-houses ,and shops, and also for manufactorie s and other places of business, are at present very great, and all •• • . - 6r `there being inhabited and employed as scion as finished, nay • the fdintier before they Fare completely out: of the workmen*s hands, afford the. Most 'titi deniable: proofs of the increasing po, pulation and prosperity of the • place .Tovrards the west - but extending especially more along the parts adjacent to the har bour, we observe that this is moat particularly the case. The causes which have produced these pleasing Testa's are no doubt the increased itnti increasing prosperity of ell our Cotton manufacturing establishments, and the daily, extending and increasing trade and . navigation tif'the city to every quarter of .the globe. Of the "extent of the trade of OlasgOw it is difAcult to form any thinglike.. a coirectiestimate.; but a few 'things will serve ' , to convince us that it is very great, and that the money . which in various ways passes through the hands Of personwerigaga in trade in this city amounts to a sum , which few can reflect on without feelings both of'satisfactiOri and'surprise. In •the Liverpool coasting . trade there are ,eighteen veleelet, regular and constant 'traders,.exiinsive of a steam' boat lately epployc4 to carry litoAle. .The y former eighteen . vessels make at an average .twenty voyages in the year, backwards and forwards. Their cargoes, we have some reason to , know from particular inquiries, are not over-ratedit.lo.oool. each voyage on an average. This gives - A . lmm of 7,200,0001. exclusive of freight and charges annually for tide branch of the trade . alone. The registered tonnage of these Vessels is, vie,believe, Upon an average 105 inns, which gives .75 UOO tons engaged in, this branch of theirage being eery 'nearly at the rate of 1001. p er ton as the value of their cargoes. From the Paillanientary report, lately published, the tonnage ' entered and, cleared out at this port, for the year 1821, was 2011;000 tons. This taken at the above rate would give 29,600,0001., but - as* tonnage. entered in and cleared 011t•Ctt Greenock end Port-Glasgow may, for the sake of argument and calculation be all accounted GlasgoW trade, then the tend amount, by the Same authority,* 805,000 tons, which, at the above rate, would AMountto 80,500,0001., certainly one half too much. We are aware that a vast proportion of the tonnage em. ployed consists of cargoes valued et a very low lite, but we must also hear in mind, that a very large proportion of those cargoes, particularly those' bound to and from Foreign ports, are valued at a high rate. Such in a particular manner is the trade to the 'West Indies and 'die Ointinent of America, North and South, and the coasts of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. _ _ . ~ But the above is not the whole of the . trade of Glasgow.-, Grangemouth is the Eastern port of this city. The tonnage employed there in 1821 was fe,9411 tons. We must also take into account tbaka very consitleriploortion of: ths trade of Leith it uriqueittiOthibly on Glatiow account. i,'Orris years ago we had occasion to make inquiries, which led us to believe that articles (principally cotton goods) to the value of 1,A000,0001. belonging to Glasgow, were exported to the Continent annually teem Leith and . brihe - Canal. The trade of Leith 'for `Wei was 484,082. tons-100,008 'tons of which we ma y set down as on Glasgow account. : , Ikre know a$ a:fact, that, on some thearticles, Glaugovi merchante-v a y more duties in Leith than in Clydp. The annual trade Of••Glaowi therefore, may be taken at 800,000 tons, a nd which;diti the navkation of the Clyde and the Great Canal allow,.would all concentrate in this place, and which could be made to concentrute hire, without any extraor dinary trouble r expense: i tz4t ' .• . . - ' ' • Take the average o f t h e ' :of the eargoes at 3W. t2Ol ton, register tonna ge , wou ld giv 4,000,0001. annually fir tile fo- reign, the coasting and internal coesuniUtion trade carried on in this place, which, though not'all in Glasgow, is on'Olasgow account. ' .' . . The value ofour cotton manufactures must borers , great. The official value of the cotton exports of Great Britain' was for last year about 27 millions,•being an increase beyond the preceding of 3,382,2241. ae . l d.-above 14 per cent. These, be it recol, lected, are chiefly of the cheapest kind of goods. Taking this. Onto consideration the value of the articles consumed in this country are morelhan equal to, the export amount, or making logetho . 'oo4ollliniis sterling alltptiolly.. The number of lbw of cotton cast itimed in this species Of me. mifecture was 120,000 1 000; which would raise the produce to the value oflOs. for each lb. when lit for exportation or the con, mumer in this country., . . Glasgow consumes anntia ll Y 5 7,000 . bales-itay 18,000,000 lbs. which at the above 'lntl, gives 9 ,000,0001.)3er annum as the value of her cotton manufactures alone. We should not doubt that the Banks . establialied in this city pass through their hande, in paying out and receiving in money, 2,00,000,0001, per annum. We do not m ean to say that these calc u l at i ons are accurates but after all we believe they are not far from the truth. The preceding statements are sufficient to: phew the vast ex tent of thp.trade and manufactures of this place increasing— , and `still farther to increase. ' That the trade is rapidly increasing we here undeniable evi- donee. In three yeara ending. 1821, the • average increase was 840900 tons.

But the activity, industry and capital empl oye d in other places require corresponding activity and industry here, and the vast magnitude of our trade points out the propriety and necessity of 'concentrating it'as Much as possible in . our own . port. That the Clyde can be, ,deepened, the experience of a few gear.' has Most setisfactorily • sliewn—that it can be still fur. ther deepened there cannot remain a deubt, 'and that till it is so to a' degree .censiderably greater than at present, there must be danger to large vessels in navigating it, is a self-evi dent truth. . , I • The depth of water in spring tides in the ebbest part of the river l in, we believe, 114 feet. That might be incre ase d l eer or • fi ve feet without dif fi culty. The tide ruses at the Broornielaw seven feat —ht Port-Glasgow and ()Remick front 15 to 16 feet.

It is at present in hands anxious and eager to carry the object into effect, and with their own ex perience and the advice of able engineers, which they, willno doubt seek and readily obtain, the work daily advancing will, we hope, soon be carried into tomplete effect. • Vessels of 230 tons, with lht cargoes, can et preaent come up to • the Bmotniele,w, but. t hu d. retti*l'lv "'l'"''t .4 400 - " , - , 1 denger. and, from the preeentf 4 ., .....,,,.. „ i i Zia prod . .-. delay., With the `f ,f,,,,), u e l eeter in tire river niii cyC; //Weis 0 ' } 'at -t / ftdditional di of five feet, hew! t . inn liairilk ,gatiferi l itillicient to .c; . .ry 6 4 , ' the. trade of i ie . with every quarter of the woad might came up t to, ter ... at, and proceed to their most distant destinations from our , . .sown deers. With this depth of water vessels fir for the West I mps ' trade, the American, North American, South American. 'A friean, Mediterranean, piiiiiih, and Po rtuguese trades could all land.and take in their cargoes in docks constructed in this port. And to extend this to the Baltic end ,European Continental 'ports, on the shores of tha German °cum, it would only here been necessevy to carry into effect the ' plan Proposed, end we believe in part act e d upon som e years ago, natnely, to tleppen the' Great Canal by raising its'banks three‘feit, when a depth of water would be obteinedsufficient to bear t 9 Port hennas, 'all those vessels laden with Glasgow property, from the ports endplates in the north of Europe mentioned, and which are now compelled to terminate their voyages at Grangemouth 1 and Leith. No one can, for a moment suppose th at this ,is not .a most desirable object; to attain, and that it can be attained there is no reason to doubt. .. , , Nor heed the 'contemplated concent r at i on o f tra d e in Glasgow alarm the ports below. Experience has taught, that while die trade does rapidly cdnren trate in filasgoi, the trade of Greenock continues to increase . greatly. The capinall skill and industry of her population, would soon find out places with which they would upen:up a lucrative 'trade.- As Glasgow inctisisee, lo will Greenock. .The prosperity of the is intimately con 'fleeted with the prosperity of the ether. • ' ' The advantages of having 800,000 tons of shipping concen. trated at this point—at the . firotimielaw ' anti Port-Dundee, with the farther. inceeised tonnage, as the trade of this place increased, are too obrious to require farther elucidation or coituneriti , -• ' - But before this can be Alone ) or even properly speakinghe gun, Wet and Dry Docks' niust be constructe d ' here,' Air till this is the case, large vessels will not come up .m.l Patt i where, in case of accidents, they could not b e r e pai r ed.

In the year' 861 one of the Scandinavian pi. rates who desolated the .mrire southern regions of Europe, was driven .by.adverse winds to an cm known island, which he named Sttowland and which a sub Sequent visitor called Ic eland ; and in 982, Eric Ronda discovered and landed upon the coast of East .Greenland. About the year 1001 Biron, and after him Leif, visited an hi.. therto unknown tract, to which they gave the name `'of. Finland, and 'Which is supposed to have been either Newfoundland or the coast of Canada. No permanent settlement was formed here ; and the Colonies on West Greenland were destrpyed by the . 'Esquimaux, whilst an ac. cumulation of ire upon the eastern coast of this peninsula, shut out the colony from all commu nication with 'Europe in the year 1406, .since 'which period it has proved wholly inaccessible. Frisland passing over the subsequent discovery of Ertefilaud„ supposed to be the Fero islands and Newfoundland, visited by the two Zeno* at the clinks of the 14th century ; the visit. of John and Sebastian Cabot to Newfoundland about 1496; the many attempts made during the 16th century by the Portuguese to discovero passage to India by the north of America, when Gasper Cotereal visited Labrader, and 'is even conjectured to have entered Hudson's -Bey, • and the River St. Laurence, in 1500; we shill proceed te'the first attempts of English navigators to explore the northern regions. pscie3, suit:: Liu stops,.

Newfoundland, Canada, Greenland, Cape Breton, were successively visited by private in. dividuals, and in 1553 Sir Hugh Willoughby was appointed to the command of the first regular ex. ;sedition sent, : out lot the purpose of discoveries. Three small vessels 'and two pinnaces sailed 'on the 20th of May, 1553, but the result of this . .voyage, proVed most disastrous to the Commander and to the , gallant crews or two of the vessels, the whole of 'Whims ()diens bIY perished from cold and hungeren tine East coast of Lapland. The remaining vessels, a fter•passing Wardhuys, reached Archon.' gel ; and the Captain, Richard Chancellor, pro. seeded to:' Moscow, and was presented to the Curlews Basilevich ;,then returned Safely to Eng land. In 1556; this 'Sati. Chan ce nor,' and another in their way to Archangel, fell in with Nova Zensbla, and passed the Straits of Waigatch, but :Chancellor was.evelituitlly drowned, with most of his men, on the east of the Connor *timid. In ,1570, _Martin Frobisher sailed in search of north-west passage, and in three successive voyages, visited Greenlend, and entered The inlet, hence called Frohiaher's Straits; but this expedition proved a.complete failure, • end ortoe. Nally cooled the order of government for similar enterprizes. Several voyages, of no great con. sequence, were, however, undertaken, at ditierent tunes, by various companies of Merchants. .The moat important of these expeditious, was that under . the orders of John Davis in 1 , 585, who eovered'an open passage westward, between Fro. .bisher's archipelago and Cumberland's Isles. In 1588, he explored the coist of Labrador, and in 1587 lie attained a latitude of 72 deg. It min., in the Strait that bears his name, entered,4ud. son's Strait, and fealty :reached the 73 deg. of northern latitude, and , died persuaded that a North, West,'passage really. existed.. About:this time, Ans-NW, Librarian of , :the A sisbroslan Library at Milan, published an ac. count of; A pretended discovery of thi; Straits of Arian, and of a voyage perforMed in• 1688, by Maldonado, from the Atlantic to 'the Picilic, ifid back again, but this relation is now proved to have been a meta fabrication, In 1594 mid the following years, several ioy. ages were made in th e North Seas by the Dutch. Barentz reached to latitude 77 deg. '25 min. near . Nova Zemblit ; and in 1595 be was dispatched for the . puipose of discoycring a North East, pas sage to. China. Though he failed, he sailed again the following year, and reached lat. 81 deg. `II min., and discovered spitzberg en, Arnsterdam:' Island, Stc, Then steering towards the Straits of! Waigatch, his vessel was: enclosed by the ice, and' he forted Ito ap,end a miserable winter on the N.. E. of Nova Zembla. Passing over several voyages of little import slice, undertaken by the English and by the IJ~ueitS, to the shoies of Greenland and of Lab rador, Ive find Henry Hudson making, in nio7, his first voyage to the northern regions, but the' ice baffled his attempt to reach the north of Spitzbergi.n.
