POLICE I.N7ELLI I ;ENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. [THE QUEEN VICTORIA, WITH TELE. GRAPH CABLE, ASHORE. A CLERGYMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.---Williarn --.,t.-__ Osborne, - Vernlam-road, St. Alban's, 'Wesleyan minister, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silver wreath at the Cafe Regence, the property of a young female named Alice Elizabeth Coker, of 18, Shaftesbury-terrace, Pimlico. PLYMOU tH, WEDNESDAY. Prosecutrix said she was at the Cafe Regence that morn ing about 3 o'clock, and placed a silver wreath on the table and asked the waiter to take care of it for her. The pri soner had been sitting at an adjoining table having supper. As she was leaving the place the wreath was missed from the table. Luke Jeffrey, 49 C, said the prosecutrix came up to him and told him she had lost her wreath. He asked her if she suspected any one, and she said, " Yes, that person," meaning the prisoner. The prisoner was then outside, and he asked hiss if he had it. He denied it. He then searched a rug he had on his'arm, but could not find it. The pro secutrix still persevering in her belief that he hid it, he (Jeffrey) asked the prisoner to take cif his hat, and on his doing so he there found the wreath. Prisoner said that he went into the place to take some refreshment, being perfectly sober at the time. The lady and others were taking supper, and an altercation arose between some foreigners and others, and there was a talk of a challenge, and of pistols and swords. He tried to quell it ; to throw oil on the troubled waters, and thrust the wreath, in the confusion, in his hat. As soon as he left the house the lady charged him with stealing the wreath. He took it up with no idea of stealing it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not understand why it was put into his hat. The iron screw steamship Queen Victoria, Copt, Lambert, laden with a telegraphic cable, shipped for conveyance to Rangoon, but destined now for connecting Malta with Alexandria, having received instructions to go from Plymouth Sound to Key ' ham Steamyard for examination and repair, and to have the electric cable submerged, got up steam this morning, and in attempting to pass Stonehouse Point drifted ashore in Barnpool, on Wilderness Point, under Mount Edgecumbe, where she lies, her bow being within 300 , feet of the saluting battery, and pointing about N.N.W., with a strong list to port. It was high water at the time, and the pilot in charge, after making the Vanguard or Fair weather buoy, put her helm hard aport, and then at tempted to back her astern, but she had too much way on her, and, there being a strong set of tide down, caused by freshets from the late heavy rains, he could not get her head sufficiently north, and she went ashore. The prisoner said it was done in trying to stop the dis turbance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not explain how it was, when the constable looked under his rug, that he did not say it was in his hat. Jeffrey said the prisoner was quite sober, as also was the prose c utrix. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a strange place and time for the prisoner to be there. Prisoner said he was at the cafe simply to see what he could see. He could give a satisfactory proof of who he Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must again say it was rather an odd place to be in. However, as he could, if he was what he represented, have no difficulty in doing it, he would take one bail in £5 for his reappearance that day week, and the wreath should be detained. Immediately this occurred a lieutenant from the guardship Impregnable came on board, and was followed by Mr. Hoyle, master of the Queen's Har bourmaster's yacht. Communication having been made with the dockyard, Mr. Brown. Master-At tendant, went on board the steamtug Pike, and with about 40 men proceeded to the Queen Vic toria. He at once placed a: heavy lump each side of the stern of the ship to sustain her aft, and sent two others forward to receive the anchor and cables, for the purpose of lightening her. An attempt is to be made this evening to float her, when, if suc cessful, she will be placed at a buoy off the Royal William Victualling-yard. Unfortunately, the tides are decreasing daily. The tide, which was 15 feet 1 inch high this morning, will be only 14 feet 1 inck this evening, 14 feet 6 inches to-morrow morn ing, 13 feet 3 inches on Saturday, It is high water, local time (17 minutes later than Greenwich), at 9 22 this evening, 9 46 Thursday morning, 10 35 Friday, and 11 29 Saturday.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with beasts, and all breeds sold readily, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. The show of sheep was limited, and the mutton trade was active, at extreme currencies. The best Downs were worth quite 6s. per 81bs. The few calves on offer were readily disposed of at quite Monday's prices. Pigs were very firm; but the demand for much cows was rather heavy. Per Sibs to s' s. d. a. d.

The starboard chain cable was passed under her fore foot and made taut to the Government lump on the port side forward, gnd the port cable was fastened' to a lump on the starboard side; both lumps were hove down two feet below their ordinary draught. The Admiralty steamtug Confidence was fastened to her starboard quarter, the Zephyr on the port; both backed astern with full power. The Queen Victoria's pro peller was exerted to the utmost, and two hawsers fastened to a buoy were strained by her .capstan. At high water (10 o'clock) the combined exertions of these forces did not start her one inch. She lies on the sand aft, and on rubble and stones forward. At high water the tidal mark on her stem was 12 feet 11 inches. Her hull seems to have sustained no injury, and she does not leak. To-morrow (Thursday) part of the cargo will probably be re • moved, and during the night another effort to float her may be made. ink the offal. s. d. s. d. Primeers-wool do. 5 0 6 8 Pme.

TILE NAVY. The Megrera, screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, sailed yesterday from Portsmouth for the Channel Islands. She had been prevented sailing the day previous owing to the violence of the weather. The Immortalite, 51, screw, Captain Hancock, commenced the adjustment of her compasses in Portsmouth Harbour yesterday. The Cockatrice, new class gunboat, has been taken into the steam basin at Portsmouth to fit for the first-class steam reserve. Letters received by our Portsmouth correspondent from Madeira announce the arrival there of the Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Alexander, on the 18th December, all well. She had made the passage out from Plymouth Sound under sail alone. During the first six days of her passage she encountered very boisterous weather ; gales from the N. W., W., and S.W., with the barometer down to 28.81. Part of the head berthing and the bowports were washed away by the heavy seas. The ship is reported to have proved a good sailer and sea boat, stiff under her canvass, and steered easily. the Charybdis and Miranda, screws, arrived at Madeira on the 20th December. The Gorgon, 6, paddle, and the Swift coal depot, both en route for the Cape s were also lying there at that date. The screw steamship St. George, 91, Capt. the Hon:F. Egerton, in Plymouth Sound, crossed royal yards and ran up her blue peter yesterday morn ing, preparatory to sailing for Spithead. The screw steam gunvessel Flying Fish, 6, Com mander Hope, having completed her lading of coal in Hamoaze yesterday morning, is now at her moorings. The paddlewheel steam sloop Spiteful, Com mander Wilson, from Pembroke, where she towel the coal depot Alarm, returned to Plymouth yester day. She brought back Commander Paul, of her Majesty's Dockyard, Devonport, and the division of riggers who took charge of the Alarm on the pas sage round. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. T. T. Bullock, to the Colussus ; Lieut. W. H. Heaton, to the Nar cissus; Daniel Pender, master, to the Hecate; W. B. Dalby, surgeon, to the Narcissus ; J. C. Inglis, surgeon, to the Ariadne ; and Martin Magill, assist.- surgeon, to the Sanspareil.

The Bth (King's Own) Regiment, stationed at Gosport, have been supplied with the new experi mental greatcoat, which it is in contemplation to serve out to the whole of the infantry. It is very superior i❑ quality and colour to the coat at present in use, compared with which it is, in fact, a really handsome and soldierly garment. It has no cape, but is double over the shoulders and partly down the back, as also in the sleeves to below the elbows.'• It is fitted with two capacious pockets behind, with the edges piped with red, a band, also piped with red, confines the coat to the wearer's back at his pleasure. Shoulderstraps for the belts, also piped with red. The forepart of the skirts are made to loop back to the waist when on the march, Alto gether it bears the appearance of being the greatest improvement made in the soldiers' clothing for many years. The Bth are also furnished with the new shako, which has a light snug look and must be far more comfortable than the old Pat tern, but it does not carry so military an appear ance with it as the new greatcoat. • After a considerable interval, the punishment; of the lash has again been resorted to at Chatb garrison, the culprit being a private of the lst'Be.t• talion of the 19th Regiment, named Franci s B ray ; a man of incorrigible and abandoned. char acter, About a fortnight since the prisoner N as tr led by district court-martial at Chatham on a chi L rge of ' striking Serpant Tanner, a non-commissioned officer of his regiment, while in the execution of his duty. On the occasion of his trial the prisoner behaved in the most outrageous manner, assailing the president and members of the Court with the foulest language and the most horrible oaths. lr. consideration of the bad character he bore in the regiment, the Court sentenced him to be impri soned in the Military Prison at Rochester for two years, leaving his conduct before the Court to form the subject of another trial. The prisoner, after his sentence, was heard to make use of the most fearful threats, and shortly after his admission in to the prison at Fort Clarence he carried his threats into execution by making a murderous attack on one of the warders of that establishment, named Cockaday, whom he struck over the head with a metal vessel used in the cell, in the most savage manner. A board of field officers was directed to assemble to investigate the case, and at the close of the inquiry they sentenced the prisoner to receive 50 lashes, and to be imprisoned for a further period of six months. The prisoners hav ing accordingly been drawn up in the prison yard, Brady, who behaved with the greatest bravado, was fastened to the triangle, and the corporal punish ment administered. After 25 lashes had been inflicted he was observed to faint away, when the surgeon, who is always present on these occasions, immediately ordered the punishment to be stopped, and the prisoner was at once released and conveyed to the prison infirmary, where he shortly afterwards recovered. The remainder of the corporal punish ment will, under the circumstances, be remitted, but he will undergo his full term of two years and six months' imprisonment, and be again tried for his conduct before the court martial.

THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT LEEDS.—Yesterday Mr. Blackburn, the coroner for the borough of Leeds. and the jury summoned to inquire into the cause of the fatal boiler explosion which. happened on Christmas-day, at the house of Mr. William Longley, builder, met at the Town hail, Leeds, but the inquest was further adjourned for a fortnight. The three surviving sufferers are progressing as favourably as can be expected, but none of them were yet able to attend the inquest, and it was considered desirable that Mr. Hetherington, C.E., and Mr. Lord, who have exa mined the boiler, should hear the evidence of Mr. Longley and the servant before making their report. The year just begun is the 6,574 th of the Julian period, the first of the 660th Olympiad, and the 2,614 th since the foundation of Rome. The Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian 218 years ago.

PERY.—We have to record the death of the Hon. E. S. Pery, only sur viving son of Edmond Henry, first Earl of Limerick, by Alice Mary, only daughter and heir of Mr. Henry Ormsby, of Cloghan, county Mayo, who died on Monday at IVies- Laden. The deceased gentleman was born Feb. 7, 1797, and married Feb. 14, 1825, Elizabeth Charlotte, daughter of the late Hon. Wm. Cockayne, brother of the late Viscount Cullen. Lord Monteagle, Count and Countess Delafield, and several other families of rank, are placed in morning. was. THE UIVI7ED STATES. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, DEC. 19, 1860. I do not see how secession is now to be avoided. In making this statement, however, it is important to define what secession is. It is easier to say what it is not than what it is. It is not order and good government. It is not submission to the law, and accepting a President elected in the manner pro vided by the Constitution and the laws. It is not a regard for the right of others. It is nothing, in fact, which law-abiding Englishmen are taught to respect and observe. Oa the other hand, the first step of secession, the paper separation, which is all that is yet meant by the word, it is not necessarily a dissolution of the Federal Government. The National Constitution and the traditions and forms of the National Government may yet remain for the States which are willing to submit to law and observe its forms. For these Mr. Lincoln will still remain the President, chosen in the regular con stitutional way. Nor does it even imply neces sarily a dissolution of the Federal Union, as, after the seceding States have voted themselves out of the Union, they may be brought back in two ways —either by negotiation or by force, provided in the first case, the negotiators are willing to concede all the rebellious States demand ; or, in the other alternative, that the remaining States are strong enough and sufficiently united to authorise a resort to force. With the exception of four, or, at most six of the cotton States, there is, in my opinion, no preference in the South for disunion ; and if the other Southern States temporarily secede—which from my information I am inclined to think will be the case—it will be because they are forced into it, and because they hope to induce negotiations which, prolonged, may result in re-establishing the Union.. That several of the cotton States will secede in the course of the next month I have little doubt. They believe that they can force the border States to follow them ; and it is the general opinion at Washington, among those best able to judge, that unless immediate concessions are made by the North, the border States will be forced 'to follow, and that the reconstruction of the Federation on a modified basis will be thus assured. Thus, in the eyes of such politicians, the union of the entire slave States in the movement, so far from implying an ultimate dissolution of the Union, will ensure-its speedy reunion, with such guarantees as will ensure its continuance. Some politicians aim at the absolute expulsion, in any event, of contuma cious anti-slavery New England ; but those who are now counterjancing a united co-operative Southern action look to an early reconstruction of the Union in some form. They forget that it is easier to destroy than to create, and they are will ing to hazard the destruction of a noble Confedera tion, under which the nation has prospered beyond example in history, the rule of which has been a gentle one, almost unfelt at home, and the flag of which is respected abroad to the most remote corner of the globe—they are willing to hazard this, and plunge the country possibly in a civil war, for the chance of uniting the Slave States, and gaining a further political advantage for property in slaves. In the present excited state of the public mind it is absolutely impossible to predict even the immediate future. It is subject at any moment to be directed into the course of violence by the will of passionate men, or by the chances of an accident. And although I have decided views as to the probabilities of the success of disunion, I feel that, instead of occupying your columns with six culations that any unforeseen accident may falsify, I shall do better by giving you, as before, a scissors and paste letter, made up of extracts from private letters and other matters. thus enabling you to form your own judgment from the materials we have to form ours. And first, as the State of South Carolina leads in this matter, and has already her Convention in session, and may perhaps, before the Asia sails, have seceded, I will give you an extract from a letter from a gentleman who is a member of the Convention : " I think you make a great mistake in attribut. ing the present state of things to the politicians, instead of to the pecple. It is a great sponta neous uprising of the people, irrespective of and regardless of the politicians. It is the universal sentiment of the whole Southern people that they can no longer remain in the present Union in peace, honour, and safety ; and they have, after long re flection, resolved to separate and form a separate Union of their own ; and nothing can prevent it. Ido not want to thrust my opinions on you. Ido not want you to attach any undue importance to what I now say, but leave it to time and the course of events to speak their own results; but I would, with due deference, suggest to you to predicate no business calculations or business arrangements upon any adjustment of the difficulty between the North and South. The people so far, in my humble opinion, show no disposition for compromise, but desire to withdraw peaceably and quietly from the present Union, and it seems to me that it will be worse than useless for the general Government, or the Black itepublican party, to attempt to prevent it by force. On the contrary, it were better for both parties to come to an amicable sopa ra,'lon, and go on and trade together quietly and pea,leably. If coercion is attempted, however, war will come, and in the deadliest form. I leave to night for Columbus. I go to preserve peace and induce the Convention to act with deliberation and wisdom and with due regard to the interests, rights, and feelings of all parties concerned, so far as my judgment and efforts are available. I shall oppose all violence, or rashness, or precipitanc but will a d vo cate South Carolina seceding fromthe Union." My next extract shall be from the letter goton, t' a Southern Union gentl eman, now at Washi He says : who can see little hope in the fut ure. The President think s thalt,,,hings don'tcotton k _ook badlynowSwtahtaest will go out of the Union,. but he expects from such action. eakto -day, and it is said he here. Wade is to speak 4e States. He is a firm, bold -will go for coercing push t his ant-slavery sentiments too man , and may far. T.hePresident regrets is rep of the South, not so gloomy as is represented. I:do not but it is th i n k the views of the European press w ill have any effect South Carolina. Georgia is the State i n which the Union party have the best chance. Tombs is said to have a ritt en a letter which speaks of giving time to the North to act if disposed to do so. The time is passing away, and I see no signs of movements at the North that eairstrengthen the Union men at the South. The great effort must be now to have the separation without bloodshed that the parties may have time to cool off, and, setting aside the politicians, the people may re unite. Will England send back our stacks, or will she send money to buy up what we seem disposed to throw away ?" I leave the answer to the last pertinent and sug gestive question in my friend's letter to be made from the other aide of the Atlantic. THE LONDON ?ILI 1.1?.1bE. For some rime past the arnicable relations of the wholesale tea trade in which ,11 immense amaint of capital is employed argil in,ti.y of the nio:A eminent mercantile firms of the city of London arc engaged, nave been consid, Italy disturb d by a general discontent at the compulsory pay no at of a charge on purchase, known in the trade As lot-money, amounting to about ld. per chest, which has been exacted by the tenbrokers as against the buyers for upwards of 25 years, although its existence is said to be unknown in any of the outports, and its payment long since successfully resisted by the second bu 3 ers. In the autum n o f l as t y ear severa l o f th e most eminent firms engaged in the wholesaie trade met at the London Tavern, and resolved to deelira.l future payment of this impost, alleging that no corresponding service was rendered for the charge, and that the brokers, receiving at the rate of a bout is. 4d. per chest from the sellers of the tea and Sd. per chest from the buyers, were amply remunerated. The brokers declined to relinquish the charge, but offered a compromise by which it would have been abandoned on about one-fifth of the import. This the aggrieved party declined, and ear l y i n Decem ber issued a declaration, signed by 14 of the prin cipal firms in the trade, refusing to purcha se an y teas during that month upon which the obnoxious charge was insisted. This brought business almost to a stand, but did not settle the dispute, and at the close of the year the same influential firms ren ew( d their resolution n o t t o b u y te a beating lot-money during the first 14 days in the present month, nor to . attend the public auctions advertised to take place yesterday (Wednesday). This being the state of things, yesterday, prior to the commencement of the public auction in the Exchange in Mincing lane, the subject underwent discussion. The trade, in point of numbers, was pretty largely represented, though none of the members of the 14 protesting firms, who include those most extensively engaged in it, were present. Mr. Layton, the chairman of the Teabrokers' Society, mooted the question in a short speech, in the course of which he stated that the brokers had offered to compromise the ma ter by abandoning the charge of lot-money on all lots of tea below the value of £l5. (Until now the charge has accrued on lots of the value of -e5 and upwards.) He exp resse d a h ope ehat this would be a satisfactory concession to the buyers, and ap pealed to the whole body to adopt it as a liberal proposal, calculated to restore harmony between the importers, the dealers, and the brokers. Mr. Richard Twining, not wishing to arrogate to himself any right to speak on behalf of the tr a d e , but representing only the views of his own house, which had long been deeply interested in it, advised, in a temperate speech, acceptance of the offer made on the part of the brokers. The charge of lot-money, he added, had been sanc tioned nearly, if not quite, a quarter of a cen tury, which he regarded as a strong point in its favour. On the other hand, the trade had been subject to various mutations in the course of time, and was now carried on under the pressure of a com petition unknown to those of their forefathers who were engaged in it. He thought the trade had not urged on ir an unreasonable manner the repeal of the charge which it was now proposed to modify, and that the question was one which might ho settled by mutual concession. Mr. Archibald Travers, Mr. Brown, Mr. Rowe, Mr. W. S. Shuttle worth, and Mr. Lowcock also took part in the dis cussion; and eventually, on the motion of Mr. Twining, seconded by Mr. Potts, it was unani mously resolved " That this meeting, having heard from Mr. Layton, the chairman of the Brokers' Society, the modified charge they have made for lot-money, accept the same as, under the circum stances, a satisfactory compromise of the question." The auctions then proceeded, showing a consider able decline in some descriptions of tea. This dif ference, it is said, happens very unfortunately and inopportunely for the importers, as the absence of competition of course tends to depress prices and. seriously to affect the value of the large imports of tea lately arrived, and now waiting a market. EMIGRATION FROM THE MERSEY IN 1860. .I , The official returns of the emigration trade of the port of Liverpool for the year just concluded have been completed at the Government Emigra tion-office, and through the courtesy of Capt. Prior, R.N., emigration agent at Liverpool, and the obliging officials, we are enabled to present the annual resume of the emigration trade of that port. When contrasted with the returns of the year 1859, . the present exhibit littie change in the aggregate numbers which took their departure from the Mersey. " Under the Act" during the past. year 255 vessels, of an avrfgate tonnage of 351,650 tons, and manned by 13.868 seamen, were "cleared" by the Government officers, and these conveyed 68,285 passengers (2,796 cabin and 65.487 stet r age) ; of the latter 15 896 English, 3,551 Scotch, 42,918 Irish, and 3.122 foreigners ; against in the previous year 68,131 passengers (2,185 cabin and 65,946 steerage), 19,060 English, 3,811 Scotch, 40,454 Irish, and 2,421 natives of other countries. These numbers are independent of ships "not under the Act," which are not subject to the provisions of the Passenger Act of 1855-passengers by Royal Mail steamships (Cunard, Canadian, and African), and in vessels carrying not less than 50 passengers. To the United States and Canada the emigration from the Mersey for the year 1860 has been brisk, and shows an improvement of upwards of 4,0'20 souls when compared with the previous year, the num bers to the United States in 1860 being 2,115 cabin. and 52,765 steerage, against, in 1859, 1,561 cabin and 47,137 steerage passengers. The second, or June quarter of the year, was, as usual, the briskest in the passenger trade to the Western Continent. In that quarter 526 cabin and 24,899 steerage passengers sailed. The last three months of the year were, as usual, the most quiet. Only 457 cabin ' and 7,291 steerage during that period. The largest monthly emigration was in April-197 cabin and 9,795 steerage ; and the smallest in the opening month of January, when only 97 cabin and 9,795 steerage passengers took their departure. Of the emigrants to the United States during the year 47,203 were Irish, 11,395 English, 1,925 Scotch, and 2,622 foreigners. Of the latter 400 mere German Mormons, shipped in the William Taps cott for New York, with 371 English and Scotch Mormons, in May. To the Canadian provinces "under the Act," 113 cabin and 720 steerage passengers took their departure, 194 of whom. were English, 67 Scotch, 323 Irish, and 32 foreigners. The number conveyed last year was 544 steerage passengers. The reason of the pau city of Canadian is owing to the weekly steamships, which are not classed " under the Act," carrying the majority of the passengers to those colonies. To the Australian colonies the passenger trade has been very dull, and exhibits a falling off of 5,000 when compared with the returns for 1859. This, however, is attributable in a great measure to the comparative cessation of Government emigration to South Australia and New South Wales. To Victoria 31 ships carried 536 cabin and 8,299 steerage passengers-3,537 English, 1,113 Scotch, 3,201 Irish, and 456 foreigners against 508 cabin and 9,883 steerage in 1859. July was the busiest month in emigration to Melbourne, 111 cabin , and 1,170 steerage passengers having saile i a l and the dullest was March, when onlyit,: cabin and 252 steerage were &spat a New South Wales the Government :m e i ration carrying g Commissioners despatched four vessels, 1 47 Scotch, and South 1,572 passengers-486 English, e t -EP, e Pr s ea s Yt e ci l °hll s e a scl i l y e eT d aor during 919 Irish emigrants.

In 1859 104 cabin for • . 1,3 17 steerage passengers sailed from the and Mersey for New Zealand. It should be stated, 41I1I:i t s steerage a a g n e d however, that several of the Melbourne clip• pers also took passengers to New Zealand. To South America 10 cabin and 32 steerage passengers (all Irish) were conveyed to Buenos Ayres, mi l d to the Cape of Good Hope 10 cabin and 12 steerage -11 English and 1 Scotch. To the East Indies two troopships, one of them the ill-fated Conway, wrecked off the Island of Madeira, all on board saved, sailed with 565 souls-336 English, 90 Scotch, and 134 Irish. In " short ships" 8,254 cabin and 7,287 steerage passengers, total 15,491 souls, sailed from the Mersey, against 7,918 cabin and 4,806 steerage ; total, 12,724, in 1859-an increase during the past year of 2,767 souls. These passengers were chiefly conveyed by mail steamers to New York, Portland, Boston, Quebec, and Africa (West Coast). To the United States the numbers were 5,806 cabin and 3,789 steerage; to Canada 1,522 cabin and 3,051 steerage ; to New Brunswick 20 cabin and 30 steerage; to Nova Scotia 6 steerage ; to New South Wales 9 cabin ; to Victoria 50 cabin and 568 steerage ; to Jamaica 24 cable ; to British Guiana 42 cabin; and other West India settlements 32 cabin; to South_ America 240 cabin and 91 steerage ; to the West Coast of Africa 446 cabin ; to the Cape of Good. Hope 9 cabin ;to the East ndies 44 cabin ; and to China 4 cabin passengers. The nationality of pas sengers,e in " short ships " is not defihed. es 'l se n,_ aggregate total of passengers, therefore, in vessel_ 1_ 54 under the Act, or not under the Act, amounts 83,676 souls in 1860, against 80,855 in 160 increase of 2,821 upon last year's returns. ,j.. t _ , `~ v _~.
