EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insarance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Clasaffleation and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the b3nus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as se curity against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporthag a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tin e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the rh.t may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a re,turn of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three y tar& Insurances against Loss' by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Proneriv on moderate terms.

OMFORT in. SHAVING depends on the proper use of a good Razor, an efficient Strop, and a Paste to renovate the surface of the Strop, when it becomes black and choked with the steel from the Razor; 'to these must be added a Soap that will not dry suddenly on the fat:e, and a smooth taper-pointed elastic Shaving brush. Unless all these points are attended to, and the Razor wiped and stropped after shaving, that operation must always be a troublesome, even if not a painful one. Those gentlemen whose shaving apparatus is d cfective. are invited to I. J.

V . MOSES AND SON'S LEADER. itA• From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take warping from the el tstractions consequent on change, and by so guiding oar every act ion render it in all absolute essentials perfectly unnecessary. But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human mind, and from the pi •ogressive action of the times—change is abso lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen tal principles are corr act, change is needless, although we grant the modes of carrying the m out may vary. Take, for instance, the fundamental principles upon which E. MOSES and SON have establisher, carried on, and still maintain their gigantic project •of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters, Hcsiers, Boot and Sh oemakers, and General Outfitters ; and when their unbounded succtss is considered (a success which has had no limit except that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which limit ime itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES and SON are concei ned change is needless. The fundamental prin ciples up in which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the cheapest rate; to mi ke enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to sell at the cheapest z ates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope rative departments, i and so to gain and keep an immense connexion ; and should perchance 3 a caprice supervene, without argument, meet it by exchanging the purchase, or should circumstances require a return of t ie mone s y u , r n e i y, itl lout quibble or equivocation to afford a rea d y oin then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con cerned—change is needless. As Tailors, that E. MOSES and SON have carried out their prin ciples, the immense ;mass of their supporters, who are as regular in their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove. Surely. then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Hatters, they have studied every combination of use and beauty, and rendered a good Hat attainable by everybody. Surely, then, as Hatters, with, E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Boot-makers, l ii. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma nently, and deserved ly got the length of the foot of the public at large, as they have accomplished what has ne,er been before at tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the choicest products oft he trade, and by a happy union, have produced a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Boot makers, then, with E,. MOSES and SON—change is needless. But all honour to t he ladies and honour to those who study their comforts, their pleas tires. Who so eminently has done this as E. MOSES and SON ?

(From the Norwich Mercury.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the offices in Lowestoft, on Satur day last; S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., in the chair. There was a large attendance of proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said—lt is first my duty and pleasure to , cangeatulata you upon thrfacte of the "virtual com pletion of your harbour, and still more so on the fact of its having been completed within the capital. You will recollect that at the last meeting I expressed a hope that such would be the case. The total amount we were authorised to raise by our Act, and within which the expenditure on the works was to bo kept, was 320,000/. You will see by reference to the capital ac count that the total amount expended has been 322,7611.; put then I have to inform you that there are credits for surplus lands sold, and materials in hand, &c., which will reduce that amount below the 320,0001., so that no further capital will be required.—(Hear, hear.) The directors also have to announce that the works of the railway and harbour being now completed, the same are now legally invested in the Norfolk Railway Company, and that a deed is now in course of preparation declare tery of this fact—that course having been recommended by counsel, although there seems to be some doubt as to whether the same is actually necessary or not; but the proprietary will understand that none of their rights, with respect to dividends will be interfered with by this proceeding. I do not intend to occupy the time of the meeting at any length on this occasion, because Captain Andrews will speak upon all the points interesting to you. It is exceedingly gratifying to me to assure you, that during the last year all our anticipations with re ference to the harbour have been more than reelized.— (Hear, hear.) You will hear of the increase of our re venue and of the future prospects which on all hands are opening to 113.—(Hear, hear.) I stated at the last meeting that I was in negotiation with parties for the erection of oil steam mills. This negotiation has bee❑ ceucluded, and the mills are in course of erection. I have also been in negotiation with parties for the erec tion of very large steam flour mills, and lam happy to inform you that during the year a steam mill will be erected here, only second in size to one other in the kingdom, and on the same plan as that in the vicinity of Thames -street, which is seen so distinctly from Black friars-bridge. These two erections, the oil mill and the flour mill, cannot but be conducive to the increase of the harbour dues and of the traffic) of the Norfolk Railway. We are also proceeding with the erection of warehouses, which are very much needed. As the capital of the com pany does not enable us to build them, they are being erected for us, with the agreement that within the next ten years we may purchase them should we desire and be in a position to do so. Captain Andrews will also detail to you the formation of a Northern Steam Packet Company, of which he has accepted the office of managing director, and the various arrangements that are in progress with refe rence to the carrying out of that undertaking. I need not point out to you how large an interest we have in the success of such an undertaking, both as to the character of the port, and the large amount of increase which must necessarily result in the harbour dues and railway traffic. Having arrived at this point—the completion of our rail way and harbour—we have directed our attention, care fully and anxiously, to the future expenses of the main tenance of the harbour, and I am happy to inform you that the whole cost of maintenance will be within the esti mates originally laid before you when the undertaking was commenced.—(Hoar, hear.) I will not detain you further, but with your permission I will at once recom mend the reception of the capital account. With respect to the revenue account, I should say that it is furnished by the Eastern Counties Company, and we aro obliged to publish it, in order to show that there are no surplus profits accruing beyond the four per cent. to which the original proprietors are entitled. The statement of accounts was then put in, from which it appeared that on the capital account the total receipts from all sources up to 31st December, 1850, had been 322,761/. 18s. Bd. The outlay for the railway, up to the same period, had been 140,8451. 15s. ld , and for harbour works 184,5311. Is. Bd.; general charges for creosote works, dredging machinery, coal lifters, &c. 27,180/. 9s. 3d.; making a total of 352,5571. 6s. From this amount there was to be deducted 32,3651. 7s. 6d. for sale of surplus lands, payment of Easters Coun ties Railway for steam-boats, timber, rails, and other stores in stock, sale of old materials, &c., which reduced it to 320,1911. 18s. 6i., leaving a balance in hand of 2,570/. Os. 2il. The revenue account for the half-year ending January 4, 1851, showed that the receipts of the harbour and railway were 7,2161. 25., and the expendi ture 4,8581. 145., leaving a balance of 2,357/, Bs. Oa the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. LEITHEB, the statement of accounts was received and approved. Mr. SULTZER inquired whether the deed that had been referred to by the chairman was there and could be produced? The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, and said that he had been advised that it was in course of preparation. P, however, Mr. Sultzer, or any other proprietor would like to ace a draft of the deed before it was executed, he should feel great pleasure in affording them an oppor tunity of perusing it. Mr. SULTZER said hie object in making the inquiry was to ascertain if there was any clause or provision in the deed which would secure to the original proprietors their rights to the surplus profits. Mr. Pannell., the solicitor to the company, said that according to the Act of Parliament the railway and harbour, as soon as completed, passed to the Norfolk Company; and the deed to which Mr. Peto referred was simply a declaration that they had so passed, and would not in any way affect the interests of the original share holders.

MANCHESTER, MARCH B.—At our market this morning there was a very limited amount of business transacted, but, except as regards flour, which was obtainable on rather lower terms, we do not alter our previous quotations. NOTTINGHAIkt, MARCH B.—The supply of wheat at market to-day was not large, but the condition was improved, and last week's prices were fully supported. The trade for barley was slow, but good qualities were quite as dear. In oats and beans no alteration. _ WORCESTER, MARCH B.—. The market to-day was on the whole firm, and last Saturday's rates were fully maintained. English wheat on offer at from 14s 6d to 15s 4d per bag of three bushel. Malting barley 3s to 3s 4d per bushel ; and dis tilling 2s 10d to 3s per bushel. At Stourbridge yesterday the supply of wheat was limited, and fully former rates were obtained. Barley was inquired for, but higher prices could not be obtained. Oats in demand at last week's rates. Peas and beans as before, but little doing. At Wolverhampton, also the supply was short, and fine samples of wheat made a trifling advance. English, white, 16s to 16s 6d ; and red, 14s 6d to 15s per 9 score 101 b. In malting barley more money was demanded but not paid. Good qualities realized 22s to 24s per quarter. Oats from, say 18s to 20s per 3121 b. Old beans, lls3d to Ils 9d per 10 score.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 6.—At our market to-day the numbers were —oxen, N6B ; sheep, 1,190. Owing to the large supply of cattle sales were very slowly effected, with a tendency downwards. Best ox beef 455, sinking offal, current from 42s to 435, inferior cows anu bulls 32s to 365. Though the supply of sheep was small, still they were equal to the derwand, and down in prices 2s per head, as compared with last market. Best aged wethers bid, current 5d to 51d, old ewes 4d to sd. At the close of the market a great many turned out unsold. DALKEITH, MARCH 6.—The relative weight per four bushels of the three prices of wheat were Wet 31b, l7st 111 b, and 15st 11b.

CORK, MARCH 7. The continued influx of foreign grain has naturally a de pressing effect upon the trade, and we cannot therefore report any improvement in business. The supplies of home grain are very trifling, the receipts for the week being only Wheat, 119 brls, at 13s to 18s 9d per brl ; barley, 433 brls, at 10s 3d to 12s per brl ; oats 2,862 brls, at 8s to lis per brl. The small quantity of wheat offering is taken at about late rates, while oats and barley being required for seed purposes fully maintain their value. Some speculative business has been done in wheat, the low rates at which it is offering having tempted some parties to make purchases. A few lots there fore have changed hands at about 16s 6d per brl for Egyptian, and 20s to 20s 6d for Polish Odessa. Galata wheat is offering at 17s 6d to 18s. We have nothing passing in barley. in oats it is impossible to effect sales. The market is very dull, and prices continue nominally the same as last quoted. We have the same quiet, retail trade in fine flours noticed of late, and with a downward tendency in prices, bakers purchase only as necessity obliges them. Coarse descriptions however continue in good demand. Indian corn manifests a tendency to decline in value, and the sales passing are of a mere retail character, any change in the article being in favour of the purchaser. Barrels.

[PRICE SD, should bo a distinct recognition that that completion was satisfactory to the Eastern Counties Company, in order that no question upon that head may arise after wards. Mr. SULTZER.—The explanation with respect to the deed is not quite clear to my mind, and therefore you will excuse me for asking another Tiestion. I consider that the interests of the shareholders under the two Acts of Parliament are not identical. The original shareholders are entitled under their agreement to 4 per cent. and a participation in the surplus profits, but under the second Act of Parliament the 6 per cent. shareholders are not entitled to any surplus profits; and a time will come when there will be a difference of opinion as to the division that may be made, and as to the propor tion of the revenue to be apportioned to the pay ment of the dividend. Therefore, I should lik e to k now whether in the deed propo se d to be executed, by which these works will be handed over to the Eastern Coun ties Company when completed, any provision is inserted which shall confirm and secure the original 4 per cent. shareholders that participation in the surplus profits to which they are entitled. It has been said, with respect to the surplus profits, the shareholders are all on an equa lity, although one class receives 4 per cent, and the other 6; but that is a position which the original shareholders, for whom I appear, deny. We still maintain our right to the surplus profits after the payment of the 4 per cent. dividend.—(Hear, hear.) lam glad to learn from the statement you have made, that we aro gradually ap proaching a position of greater prosperity.; and this tact was a further reason why they should not surrender a right which they had obtained before the second Act creating the 6 per cent. capital was obtained. I wish therefore to know whether in the deed or any agree ment for amalgamation to which reference had been made our interests will be projected. Mr. PARKER—The answer which ; I have le - gift - 18" the Honourable Proprietor is, that those rights, if they existed, are untouched by the deed and plan of amal gamation. The rights of all the shareholders are left exactly as they are secured by the Acts of Parliament. Mr. Sultzer is mistaken, however, if he supposes that as soon as this line yields any return beyond four per cent. on the first 120,0001. of the borrowed money, and before the six per cent. shareholders receive their per centage, he will be entitled to any surplus profits. He will find, when the proper time comes, what the law on the subject is, if he is willing to litigate the point. I can only repeat that these rights are completely patent, and will not in any way be affected by this deed, which is only a simple declaration of the works having been com pleted, so as to convey to the Norfolk Company the rights to which they are entitled. The CHAIRMAN—I wish to state, that if Mr. Sultz2r, or any other proprietor, would wish to see a copy of the deed before it is executed, I pledge my word that it shall be sent to bim.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Pro prietor may take it for granted that in this agreement or deed of amalgamation none of the rights of the share holders will be touched, and should the question to which he has referred arise, he shall not be precluded by any act of ours from litigating it. Mr. CORY—Does Mr. Parker consider that the six per cent. shareholders are entitled to surplus profits? Mr. PARKER—No; they are not entitled to any sur plus profits. Mr. SULTZER—No; according to what Mr. Parker states, the six per cent. shareholders will swamp our surplus profits. _ The CHAIRMAN thought that the pledge he had given ought to satisfy the original shareholders that their rights would be fully protected. Mr. Suurzia thought that the very decisive opinion that had been given by Mr. Parker with respect to the rights of the parties whom he (Mr. Sultzer) repre sented, rendered it necessary that he should propose a resolution upon this subject. He then proposed that in the agreement for the proposed amalgamation of the Eastern Counties Lines, and in the Act to be obtained therefor, a clause be inserted protecting the interests of the four per cent. shareholders, and guaranteeing to them the half surplus profits to which they are entitled under the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour Acts. Mr. CORY seconded the resolution. Mr. PARKER said that the resolution in itself appeared a very harmless one, inasmuch as there was no in tention to interfere in anyway with the rights or in terests of the four per cent. shareholders; but the effect of such a resolution, if passed, would be to clog the hands of the directors, who were bound to protect the interests of the proprietors. Nothing, he said, could be done which would affect the interests of the shareholders without an Act of Parliament, and when that would have to be brought before them, they would have an opportunity of being heard. If the directors should refuse to insert a clause in such a Bill, then, ac cording to the standing orders of the House of Lords, the shareholders might oppose it in Com mittee. Mr. SULTZER thought, from the remarks with which Mr. Parker commenced, that ho would not have ob jeoted to this-resolution. - 4 , Mr. PARKER said it was perfectly clear the resolution, as it stood, was a harmless one, but then Mr. Sultzer's opinion with respect to the surplus profits and that of the directors were different, and the latter were anxious that nothing should appear on the minutes that could be construed as inimical to the carrying out of the agree ment into which they bad entered. Mr. CORY said that, as holders of four per cent. stock, they were anxious to express their views, in order that the directors might have them before them. The CnAIr.xAN pledged himself to Mr. Sultzer that be would be no party to an amalgamation affecting the interests of the shareholders without having first sub mitted both to Mr.- Sultzer and Mr. Cory a copy of the draft of any agreement that might be proposed. He would also send a copy of the deed which had been re ferred to the day after he saw it himself, and before it was executed. Mr. J. O. TAYLOR thought that Mr. Sultzer would see that he had now done sufficient in this matter. The ob ject which Mr. Sultzer had in view was to protect the interests of the four per cent., but after the pledge that had been given by the chairman, it was perfectly clear that neither the rights of the four per cent. nor the six per cent. would be in any way interfered with without an Act of Parliament; and therefore he put it to Mr. Sultzer whether after this he would press his resolution. Mr. NORTON, as a holder of four per cent. stock, did not think it was necessary to press the resolution. Mr. SULTZER, after the explanation and pledge given by the Chairman, expressed himself satisfied, and with the concurrence of Mr. Cory, withdrew his resolution. , Captain ANDREWS then made the following statement: —Referring to the printed report of revenue account now befere you, it is gratifying to find that the expec tation which I expressed at our last half-yearly meet ing, of the steady increase of our trade and re venue, has been fully realized. The present account for the half-year ending January 4th, 1851, shows the total receipts for harbour dues to be 3,1891. 17s. 10d. This is exclusive of rents on buildings and lands, and other sources of revenue, showing an in crease over the corresponding half-year of 7391. Is. 7d. The total receipts for the past year for harbour dues are 6,038/. 9s. I Id. against 4,4581. 17s. Id. for 1849, showing an increase of revenue for the year 1850 over 1849 of 1,5791. 12s. 10d. or 35 per cent. This increase of revenue has been derived 'principally by greater imports, the exports having remained nearly stationary. In 1849 the import of coal was 47,185 tons, and the export of corn 41,267 quarters. In 1850 the import of coal has been 72,080 tons, and the export of corn 40,821 quarters, showing an increased importation of 24,895 tons, or 50 per cent. and a decreased ex portation of 446 quarters only, or 1 per cent. The increased arrivals and tonnage have been equally great. In the year 1849 the total number of vessels that en tered the harbour was 1,168 of the registered tonnage of 69,486 tons; in 1850 the total number of vessels has been 1,575, ad the registered tonnage 108,238, showing an increase in the number of vessels of 407, or 34 per cent. and an increased tonnage of 38,752, or 5512 per cent. Whilst this great increase has taken place in the trade and revenue of the harbour, it is gratifying to find that the working expenses have not increased in like pro portion. The corresponding half-year of 1848 showed the harbour receipts to be 2,1531. 17s. Bd. and the work ing expenses 1,1581. 25.; the past half-year shows the receipts to be 3,189/. 17s. 10d. and the work ing expenses 1,4351. 105. 11d., giving an increase of 48. per cent. upon the receipts, and only 19 per cent. on the working expenses; and there is no doubt that a still greater increase of revenue will be at tended with a smaller increase of working ex penses. That the trade will steadily improve, there can he no doubt. Increased facilities, by the erection of warehouses, no w in the course of completion, will add ma terially thereto. The establishment of merchants and ship owners in the port will improve the export as well as the import trade; and as the harbour becomes better known, it will be still more frequented as a harbour of refuge, for which purpose its equ a l does not exist upon the eastern cos3t of England. Although the past y ear h as b een unubnally mild and free from storms, 447 sail have entered for refuge only; of these 91 ware damaged or disabled, many of them of large tonnage, such as had never been seen in this port before, all of which received effectual shelter and assistance here. These are cheering prospects, but in the opinion but the shadow of the increase that is to fol low. There are sources of trade and profit at present latent, but which require only the teach of enterprise to draw forth; not the least among these are our fisheries. For ages back histor y records how eminently Lowestoft has been a fishing town. Why is it not SO now? Why has our fishery decreased? and why can it no longer be profitably carried on? Has the fo rmation of the harbour, connected by a railway to the first mar ket in the world, destroy ea the fishery ? Certainly not ; but it has altered in: character, and it required corresponding alteration and imprcvement in working tho trade to render it still a source of profit. The introduction of the railway eyatem in this country, gave facilities to more distant ports to send the produce of their fisheries to the London market. From this period may be traced the decline of the fishery iu Lowestoft; in 1839, eighty-four boats, employing about 840 men and boys, besides numerous people on shore, were employed in the herring fishery for that year; their catch was 1,572 lasts, or 15,730,000 fish. Ten years later, in 1849, only thirty-six boats, employing 360 men, wore engaged in the herring fishery; they caught 959 lasts, or 9,590,000 fish. Here was a falling off of more than one-half the number of /~ ~ ~ (,~ ..,- a -- __r.. /~ ,~ "3 7 - es" .- 7 __, h nt 7- 1---ee.„---ti/ . " -- ,e 't --- 1 boats employed, a early one-half of the . caught, 3 7 and there can be o doubt that if, up to this time, Lowestoft had been left without a railway communica tion to London, the fishery must have been given up, l e a r o r e g f d e or the produce taken to some place that poe teased that advantage. The past year has shown a q ar theei r n i e n renewal a altered u t s h ut e atltaey fis e h f ery thie i g n a. a Larger form stated s to re of capital can no longer prsfi tably be worked, from the decrease in the mean price of the fish; but the harbour affords facilities to the empley meet of smaller, commonly called half and half boats, from their being a mean size between a punt and a lug ger; these boats being worked at less expense, and re quiring a smaller outlay of capital, are enabled to carry out the herring fishery with profit and success, and an increase to the returns of 1839 may with confidence be expected. But a greater source of profit than even the herring fishery remains dead to Lowestoft, although off its very shores. Situated on a promontory stretching towards the centre of the great German ocean, with a harbour acees sible at all times, and railway communication to every part 0: Great Britain, with boats and men idling ca t sho re , hitherto no effort has been made to trawl the shoals of ground fish, such as plaice, 50155, and turbot, with which the great, banks situated within twenty or thirty males of our harbour abound; but I am happy to state an effort is to be made now; several king friends have joined me for this purpose, our object being in the first place to give employment to our numerous uuemployed fishermen, and iu the second to increase the traffic of the port, and consequent profit to ourselves. Having made every inquiry, and given this subject mature considers den, I am persuaded that if a sufficient number of the large herring boats are perfectly equipped for trading, and conducted in a proper manner, this object will profit ably be effected. lam also persuaded that it can only be dune by a number of boats, and systematic manage ment. If one boat only was to attempt it, the result would be a failure; but if ten or twenty, or more (the more the better), commence, tee result will be success ful. We commence with ton boats, and I hope this will soon increase to 100; a steam-boat will leave the har bour each night for the fishing ground, and return each day in time for the market train, bringing not only the fish of our own boats, but of the other vessels who choose to send by this mode of conveyance. I speak within bounds when I say that each boat will earn 4004 per annum, for, with the exception of very bad weather, the boats will remain on the fishing ground the whole year, only'returning to port for a few days once in six weeks. -New when it iaconaideked that whtmdred bohts .. would employ 500 men, would yield an income to the town and port of 40,0004 besides 7,000/. a year to the railway and 1,2001. a year to the harbour, giving at the same time a large interest to the capital embarked in them, it is surely worth the trial. The supply of fish is inexhaustible; the means of transit to the great mar kets certain and economical; the demand increasing and unlimited. Our men, trained to the sea f rom t h e i r in fancy, and accustom e d to look to it for their support, are ready and willing to engage in this mode of fishing, if properly directed and encouraged—shall we then withhold our aid? I hope not; but encourage to the best of our ability an enterprise so promising and bene ficent; and in my humble opinion the harbour and rail way will not have fulfilled their destiny until they have given employment to every honest and industrious fish erman in the place. Nor is it the fisherman alone that will be benefited —every tradesman and mechanic must feel its influence; the 500 men alone employed in the boats will consume 182,0001b5. of meat annually, be sides a like quantity of bread and small stores. Boat builders, sail makers, twine spinners, and other trades, will all feel its benefit; and last, although not least, oar more wealthy inhabitants and friendly visitors will enjoy the luxury of an abundant supply of all kinds of fresh and wholesome fish. Another source of revenue now opening is the formation of a company under the title of the Northern Steam Parket Company, established for the purpose of conveying passengers, goods, but principally cattle, from the coasts of Jutland, Holstein, and Schleswig, to this country. The attention of the feeders and shippers of foreign cattle, for the supply of the London market, has long been directed to the ob ject of reducing the length of the sea voyage, which so materially deteriorates the condition of the cattle ex ported by them. The petition of Lowestoft, on the extreme eastern point of England, and consequently the nearest to that country, pointed it out as the most eligible point of debarkation; its possession of a good harbour and railway communication to London decided its se lection. A communication was last year opened with the principal shippers in Denmark, and ultimately, through the kindness of the Government agent (who at once saw the advantages possessed by this place), with the Government of Denmark itself, who have granted to the Northern Steam Packet Company certain concessions highly favourable to the company; the company are al ready in possession of two vessels, and a third, of great capacity and speed, is in course of construction, and will be ready in May. Every preparation is being made hero for the facitity of landing and forwarding the cattle to the London and other markets—a large stable capable of accommodating 200 head of cattle is in course of erection, and a steam factory with lathes and machinery for repairing the engines of the packets in course of pre paration. When it is considered that 40,000 head of cattle are reared in that country, and that during the past autumn 12,000 head were shipped from the port of fonningen alone; we may reasonably expect that a por tion of this quantity will find its way to Landon by the way of Lowestoft, which reduces the sea voyage by twenty-four hours, and enables the shippers to produce 1 their cattle in the market in a shorter space of time, at less expense, and in better condition. Having thus far explained my views of the present con dition of the trade and prospects of the harbour, I hope you will bear with me whilst I trespass a little more on your time and patience with reference to the harbour iteelf. lam induced more particularly to do so at this time when the harbour is so near completion, and even those inclined to view it in an unfavourable light are in duced to confess that all that was practicable for the capital expended has been done. Yet such erroneous impressions have been expressed as to its durability and stability, even by our friends, that I think it right and only justice to our shareholders to put them in posses sion of the facts relative thereto. It has been said that the harbour cannot be kept open at the same depth of water for any number of years without considerable ex pense: that the worm will ultimately eat away the piles, and that the masonry will consequently give way. Now it certainly is the duty of a prudent gezeral not to un derrate his foe or even to turn a deaf ear to rumours of a force, that may be sent to oppose him. We are per fectly aware of the causes constantly at work to dete riorate the efforts of our labour, and being so, are pre pared to prevent the effects resulting therefrom acting to our prejudice. The enemies we have to contend with are the incessant action of the waves of the sea caused by winds and currents; the washing of the sand acted . u i l , i , o ri n by t thereby; hesam t e h u e n d t e i 1 p d o deposit o o s f i t s e i d l t w o r i t m h in u d held t , he - harbour, e in consequence of the cessation of the motion of the waves; and the remorseless and ever vigilant Teredo Navalis or sea-worm. Against the first of these enemies we op. pose the stability of our outer piers and the experience of three winters, even when in an incomplete state, shows that they were equal to the contest. It is well known that the piers are fixed upon a stratum of blue cloy, open which the sand is laid at an angle formed by the waves of frcm six to eight degrees; the piling of the piers being driven through the sand, and from fifteen to twenty feet into the blue clay, is a sufficient guarantee for their stability. The whale of the internal space be tween the outer pilings, twenty-five feet wide, being filled in with solid masonry, form a barrier against which the waves of the German Ocean may in vain ex pend their force, so long as the masonry and piles are kept in good order and repair. Against the washing of the sand through the foundation of the masonry, and the deposit of silt, we have the remedy of dredging; and that this is sufficient, not only to maintain the present depth of water, but to increase it to a very consider ablewe have experience to prove. During the lest year no less than 236,667 to ns ha ve b e en dr e d ged exten ou t up in the ' ter and inner harbour, and the depth of wa ter increased over a very large space from six to twelve feet at low water. Admitting that a hundred tons per day of sand and silt was deposited in the har bour, which I estimate at a very large average, it would be but 365,000 tons annually, which could be dredged up in the course of three mouths, at an expense of 5001. We must bear in mind that our harbour is an artificial one, and must be kept open and maintained by artificial means. Tho accumulation of sand on the outer side of the piers, which occasioned some anxiety to several of our friends, we have not only been enabled to keep under control, but turn to a source of profit.

As long as this substance c retinues in the wood it is perfectly protected against the encroachments of the worm. Another source of protection to the piles is the accumulation of silt around them, which it is our policy to encourage, for the worm cannot attack the timber surr“undeci by mud; from these causes, and by carefully costing the whole of the timber and piles of the harbour each year with a preparation of coal tar and ere mote, there cart be no difficulty in preserving the wood for any reasonable number of years. Although not particu larly in my department, I beg to make a few sta7e 'welts with reference to our railway traffic, which, but as the working expenses increase from the nature the I am happy to state, shows the same steady increase; the traffice in the same proportion as theharrebe(e,utprts, Thethe Railway receipts for thin past half-yea.! ld.
