EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,000/. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Pict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ars —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each chess of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance 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 Insarance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted pn, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire ()Pike will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tier e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk 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 return of one moiety, or flay per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insarers whose Policies have been in force for three years. __ Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may bo obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. • Equitable Fire t • Both Offices. 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 face, and a smooth taper-pointed elastic Shaving brush.

MOSES AND SON'S LEADER. m:4• From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take warning from the distractions consequent on change, and by so guiding our every action render it in all absolute essentials perfectly Ullnecessary. But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human mind, and trom the progressive action of the times—change is abso lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen tal principles are correct, change is needless, although we grant the modes of carrying them out may vary. Take, for instance, the fundamental principles upon which E. MOSES and SON have estiblishei, carried on, and still maintain their gigantic project of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters, Hcsiers, Boot and Shoemakers, and general Outfitters; and when their unbounded success is considered (a success which has had no limit except that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which limit lime itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES and SON are collect ned change is needless. The fundamental prin ciples upon 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 mike enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to sell at the cheapest rates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope rative departments, and so to gain and keep an immense connexion ; and should perchance a caprice supervene, without argument, meet it by exelfw , ging the purchase, or should circumstances require a return of money, without quibble or equivocation to afford a ready compliance. Surely, then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con cerned—change is needless. As Tailors, that E. MOiIES 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 Itatters, they have: studied every combination of use and beauty, and rendered a geod flat attainable by everybody. Surely, then, as Hatters, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Boot-makers, E. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma nently, and deservedly got the length of the foot of the public at large, as they have accomplished what has never been before at tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the choicest products of the trade, and by a happy unite, have produced a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Moot makers, then, w th E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. But all honour to the ladies and honour to those who study their comforts, their pleasures. Who so eminently has done this as E. MOSES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves ; let there be no vain-glorious boasting; crown them with the wreath of Fame made trebly ITecious by your touch ; see their Riding Habits, their Shawls, their Hosiery, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs, the tribute of all climes ; notice that by exertion, by industry, by skill, and by moderation in p rice, that t hey have placed them within the reach of all; and then you will unhesitatingly declare, that, as ladies' men so far as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is needless. Change, then, is needless, because the principles which have placed E. MOSES and SON in the proud, the enviable position they occupy, shall be still continuel to keep them there ; a n d, MS i t has beenably saLi, that the best sense is common sense, which the pub lic possesses in abundance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni- L e e rs e all t y e ipidrog,cfliohnEe.d, MOSESlotidly s and trongly, that n f e a e r dl a e s ss t . he patron storecithe great inconvenience of being attended Shippers, captains and the trade ar — e de ' r d e t s o p g ec in tfu a lly re i ta t i f l or s m ho e p d, i !h f a or t whole sale warehouses are entirely distinct departments, them entirely obviated, as their immense mass and devoted te wi sh t ' o t i h e e heir interests. al ld the means shall, as they ever were, be Notice.—Wanted, several youths as cashiers.

Chatterton, THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MARCH B.—The trade to-day is quiet, with no change in the quotations of any article. 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. NOTTINGHAM, 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 2510 d 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, alio 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 10Ib. 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, lls 3d to 11s 9d per 10 score.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 6.—At our market to-day the numbers were —oxen, t'6B; sheep, 1,190. Owing to the large supply of cattle sales were very slowly effected, with a !endency downwards. Best ox beef 455, sinking offal, current from 42s to 435, inferior cows min bulls 32e to 365. Though the supply of sheep waq small, still they were equal to the demand, arid down in prices 2s per head, as compared with last market. nest aged wethers bid, current 5d to bid, old ewes 4id to bd.

DUBLIN, MARCH 7.—Our market to-day was exceedingly dull; we do not alter our quotations for wheat or malting barley. Grinding barley was 6d to is lower, and a limited sale. Indian corn unaltered. Wheat, white, 21s 01 to 23s 6d ; red ditto, 19s Od to 22s Od ; barley, lls Od to 14s Od ; oats, per barrel, 8s 3d to lOs 3d • rapeseed, 18s Od to 20s Od; oatmeal, lOs to 10, 9d; flour, seconds, per cwt, 12s Od to 14s Od; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 29s to 325. 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 9tl per brl ; barley, 433 brls, at 10s 3d to 12s per brl; oats 2,862 brls, at 8s to lls 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 nothinr , passing in barley. in oats it is impossible to effe c t sa l es . 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.

At this fair, the largest in the kingdom, which commenced on Tuesday and finished to-day, there was a large attendance from various parts of the country, and the leather trade gene rally presents a healthier appearance than for many years past. The accumulated stocks have been cleared off at constantly im proving prices, and a continuance of the present satisfactory state of the trade is strongly anticipated. A very large amount of busi ness was done at the lair at full prices. In sole leather, prime heavy foreign butts were in fair demand; the supply of light and middle weight English and foreign butts was limited. English and foreign shoulders were in request, and offal of all descriptions met a ready sale at advanced quotations. In dressing leather, beat saddlers' bides and strong harness bides were in fair request. Kips and basils met a ready sale at our quotations. In curried leather there was a good demand for all descriptions. It is not thought that hides will decline in value for some few months, the supplies coming from the shipping ports in South America not being large. The following are the quotations of prices realized at the fair : -Crop hides, 311 b. to 351 b, average Bid to 9P per lb; ditto, 401 b to 481 b, 10d. to 12d. ; ditto, 501 b. to 601 b., average I2d to 14d; foreign hides, 301 b. to 351 b., average Bd. to 9d. per lb. ; ditto, 401 b. to 451 b., 9d. to 10d. per lb. ; English butts, 161 b. to 201 b., average 11d. to 13d. per lb.; ditto, 221 b. to 261 b., 12d. to 14d. ; ditto, 281 b. to 301 b., 14d. to 15d. ; ditto, 341 b to 361 b., 15d. to 161. ; foreign butts, 161 b. to 20b., average 11d. to 13d. ; ditto, 221 b. to 251 b., 11d. to 130. ; ditto, 281 b. to 321 b., Ild. to 140. ; ditto, 351 b. to 401 b., 11d . to 15d. ; en gine butts, 11d. to Isd. ; best saddlers' hides, 371 b. to 501 b., average I Id. to I3d. ; harness hides, 381 b. to 421 b., average 10W. to 12d. ; best shaved hides, 181 b. to 231 b., average 14d. to 17d. per lb.; common shaved hides, 221 b. to 271 b., average 10d. to 12d. ; shoe hides, 2016. to 231 b., average tip. to 9d. ; common hides, 271 b. to 301 b., average SP. to 10d. ; ditto, 321 b. to 381 b., 9d- to 10d. ; Welsh hides, Bid. to 9d. per lb. ; best bull hides, 90d. to 91d. ; common bull hides, Bd. to Bid. ; English horse hides, sd. to Bd. ; Welsh, sid. to Bd. ; German, Bd. to 10d. • Spanish, Bd. to 1.2 d. ; horse butts, 70. to 9,1. per lb; calf skins (best pattern), 561 b to 6816, average 17d to 19d per lb ; ditto, rounded, 19d to 20d ; ditto, 451 b to 551 b, average 13d to 16d; date, 561 b to 651 b, 16d to 17d; ditto, 801 b to 100 lb, 13d to 16d ; ditto, 1001 b to 1201 b, 12d to I3d ; ditto, 3db to 361 b, 12d to 14d; Irish skins, lld to 14d; Welsh skins, 271 b to 3516, average, 10d to lld per lb; ditto, 381 b to 401 b, 1 lid to 12d; ditto, 4016 to 451 b, 12d to 13d; ditto, 451 b to 501 b, 13d to 14d ; ditto, 521 b to 561 b, 14d to 15d; kips (English and Welsh), lld to 15d per lb; fo reign kips (St. Petersburgh ), from 81b to 141 b, average 14d to 16d per lb; ditto, 91b to 101 b, I4d to 16d; East Indian, 9d to 17d per lb ; seal skins, small, 18d to 20d per lb ; middling, 14d to 15d ; large, Bcl to 12d ; basils, 5d to Ild per lb offal ; foreign bellies, 5d to 7d per lb; foreign shoulders, 7d to 9d; dressing hide bellies, 6d to 7d ; dressing hide shoulders, 8d to lld ; dressed kipp butts, 13d to 26d per lb ; dressed shoe butts, 12d to 15d ; white sheep skins, 5s to lOs per dozen ; Bristol mar ket hides, 2d to 3d per lb ; Bristol market skins, 2d to 4d ; salted 8..

(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 fue't myeluty and plearere '0 cungretuLte you upon he fact of the virtual com letion of 7, our harbour, aed still mere so on the fact of its having been completed withi' the capital. Yoa will recollect that at the last rneetieg I expressed a horse 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 be kept, was 320,000/. You will see by reference to the capital ac count that the total arnonnt exrlend , fi has peen 322.761/ ; out men I have to inform you that there are credits for surplus lands sold, and m r,eria!s in hand, &c., which will reduce that amount b910.v 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 declara tory of this fact—that course haling 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 ie exceedingly gratifying to mo to assure you, that during the last year all our anticipations with re ference to the harbour have been more than reelizA.— (Hear, hear.) Yon will hear of the increase of our re venue and of the future prospects which on all hands are opening to us.—(lleac, hear.) I stated at the last meeting that I was in negotiation with parties for the erection of oil steam mills. This negotiation has been concluded, and the mills are in course of erection. I have also been in negotiation with parties fit the erec tion of very large steam flour mills, and I am 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 aro 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 trafic. 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.—(Hear, 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 are 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, Sce. 27,1801. 9s. 3d.; making a total of 352,557/. 6s. From this amount there was to be deducted 32,8651. 7s. 6d. for sale of surplus lands, payment of Eastern Coun ties Railway for steam-boats, timber, rails, and other stores in stock, sale of old materials, &c., which reduced it to 320,191/. 18s. 6d., leaving a balance in hand of 2,5701. Os. 2d. 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 4,858/. 145., leaving a balance of 2,3571. Bs. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. LEATHER, the statement of accounts was received and approved. Mr. SULTZER inquired whether the deed that bad been referred to by the chairman was there and could be produced ? The CHAIRMAN replkd in the negative, and said that he had been advised that it was in course of preparation. If, however, Mr. Sultzer, or any other proprietor would like to see a draft of the deed before it was executed, ho should feel great pleasure in affording them an oppor tunity of perusing it. . Mr. SULTZER Laid his object in mating 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. PARKER, 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. Mr. SuLTzEtt.—Do you refer to the first Act? Mr. PARKER.—To both Acts. The CIIAIRDIAN.—It le of great importance to the company, that after haying completed the works, there Mr. SULTZER.—The explanation with respect to the deed is not quite clear to nay mind, end therefore you will excuse me for asking another question. 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. end a participation in the surplus profits, but under the second Act of Parliament the 6 per cent. shareholders ere not entitled to any surplus profits ; and a time will come when there will be a different ° of opinion as to the division that may be made, and as to the propor tion of tho revenue to b e apport i oned to the pay ment of the dividend. Therefore, I should like to know whether in the deed proposed to be executed, by which these works will be handed over to the Eastern Coun ties Company when cempleted, any provision is inserted which shell 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 are gradually ap proaching a position of greater prosperity; and this fact 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 protected. Mr. PARKEn---The answer which I have to give to the Honoureble 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 tho Acta of Parliament. Mr. Sultaer is mistaken, however, if he supposes that as soon as this line yields any return beyol4.efigar "."••••••' ••••••••• , ..tw...7y-maw before the six per cent. shareholders receive their per centage, he will be entitled to any surplus profits. lie 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. Sulnter, 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. SELTZER—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. SELTZER thought that the very decisive opinion that had been given by Mr. Parker with respect to the liAbts 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 any' way 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. SULTZER though', from the remorks with which Mr. Parker comrnr2ried, that he woull not have ob i ectei to this rcsohltion. Mr. PARKER said it was p:licctly clear the resolution, as it mood, w 43 ci hfirreleas or.?, but then Mr. ll.r:r's opinion with resret to ne tuulns profits and that of the directors were differant, and the latter were anxious th,.t n,thing shoul4 appear on :he minutes that con! I be cJnstruei as inimical to the carrying out of the agree an,,et into vhich t!-.ey had entered. Mr. Cor.y said that, as holders of four per cent. stock, they were anxiotar to express tntit views, is or:ler that tho (I:teeters might have them befire thew. Toe CHAIRMAN pledged himself to Mr. S4ltzer that, he would be no party to nu amalgamation affecting :le interests of the shareholders without having first sub mitted both to Mr. Sultz:r and Mr. Cory a copy of the draft of any agreement that might be proposed. Ho would also send a c.)py of the deed which had been re ferre.l to the day atter he saw it himself, and bsfore it was executed. Mr. J. 0. TAYLOR thoeght that Mr. Sultzer would see hat he had now done sufficient in this matter. The °b eet which Mr. Sultzer had in view was to protect the nterests 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 halt-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 refits on buildings and lands, arid other sources of revenue, showing an in crease over the corresponding half-year of 7391. Is. 7d. The total receipts fur the past year for harbour dues are 6,038/. 9s. lid. 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 increaso 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, and 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 .55k per cent. Whilst this great increase has taken place iu 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. Sd. and the work ing expenses 1,158/. 25.; the past half-year shows the receipts to be 3,1891. 17s. 10d. and the work ing expenses 1,4351. 10s. Ild., 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 be no doubt. Increased facilities, by the erection of warehouses, now in the course of completion, will add ma terially thereto. The establishment of merchants and chip 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 does not exist upon the eastern coast of England. Although the past year has been unusually mild and free from storms, 447 sail have entered for ref uge only; of these 91 were damaged or disabled, many in of them of large tonnage, such as had never been seen this port before, all of which received effectual h assistance hero. These are cheering ppe my opinion but the shadow of increase ro fi tthat at .p s t r o e ent ros s cts el , te but in d fol low. There are sources of andtrade latent, but which require only this touch of enterprise to draw forth; net the least amo . nghese are our fisheries. For ages back history recur d t s how eminently been a fishing town. Why is it not so now?Lowestovit h. Why ay. has our fishery decreased ? and why can it no longer be profitably carried on? Has the formation the harbour, co:mete - I by a railway to the first mar ket i n the wend, destroyed the fishery ? Certainly no t ; but it has altered its character, and it required correspendieg alteration end improvement in working the trade to render is still a source of profit. The introduction of the railway system iu 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 oftheh b er a yi o n u L t Lowestoft; t m o f e t n ; in 1839, eighty-four boats, employing 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, were engaged in the herring fishery; they caught 959 lasts, or 9,590,000 fish. Has Wail a falling off of more than one-half the number of "r . 7 , ... • . l e er. toyed, and nearly one-half of tbd fielacaugh4 eehab can be no doubt thgal.f, up to this ti me ' ."' lied been left ivithout a railway Commtinie indon, th o fisheryery must heve been given up, sg t preduce t a k e n to some place that pus sessed 'that advantage. The past year Las shown a renewal of the fishery in a form suited to the altered state of things. Larger busts requiring a large outlay of capital can no longer prc;fi- • tably be worked, from the decrease in the mean price of the fish; but the harbour affords facilities to the employ ment of smaller, commonly cancel 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 c a pi ta l , are enabled to carry out the herring fishery with profit tied success, :Led 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 acces sible at all times, and railway communication to every part cd Great Britain, with boats aed men idling on bbore, hitherto no effort has been made to trawl the shoals of ground fish, such as plaice, solos, and turbot, with which the great banks situated within twenty or thirty miles of our harbour abound; but I am happy to state an effort is to be made now; several kind friends have joined me for this purpose, our object being in the first place to give employment to cur numerous unemployed fishermen, and in the second to increase the traffic of the port, and consequent profit to ourselves. Having made every inquiry, and gives this subject mature considera tion, I am persuaded that if a sufficient number of the large herring boats are perfectly equipped for trawling, and conducted in a proper manner, this ebject will profit ably be eff ec : e d. l am also persuaded that it can only be done 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, tt . e result will be success ful. We commence with ten 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 tor 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 4001. 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. Now when it is considered that a hundred boats would employ 500 men, would yield an income to the town and port of 40,000 L, besides 7,0001. 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 rpeatagef transit to the-great par 001111fteditaltrnntreasetinaircal; the demand increasing and Unlimited: - Our men, trained to the sea from their in fancy, and.accustensed to /ook 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, our 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 Packet 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 position 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 here 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, sad 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 London by the way of Lowestoft, which reduces the tea voyage by to enty• four hour:, and enables the shippers to produce their cattle in the market in a thertsr space of time, at less txpenso, and in be:ter ccadition. -..vlntr, thus fee e:xpletncd my view, of the present con dition tit the , :rtcle and prosperts of the heels:ear, I hope 3ou will with me whilst I trespass a little 10:.'re on ) oar time and patience with' reference to the, harbour itfc:f. lam induced more particularly to do t-o ut :his time when the harbour is so re4r comp!e!ion, and even theno inclined to view it in an unf:vourible light are in !need to cones , that all that was practical.? for :he e,.7p , ndo:;i has been done. Yet such erroneous imor essions btu.. expre!.sed to its ity and stA.'lity, even by our friend=., that I think it right and only justice to our shrzchol.lers to put them in posses sion of the facts relative thereto. I; has been said that the harbour cannot bo kept open at the same depth of water for any number of years eithout 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 general not to un derrate his foe or even to turn a deaf ear to rumours of a force that may be s- nt 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 upon thereby; the deposit of silt or mud, held in suspen sion by the same until deposited within the harbour, 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 eve fixed upon e stratum of blue cloy, upen which the sand is laid sit an acgle formed by the waves of teem six to eight degrees; toe piing of the piers being driven through the sand, and /rem fifteen to twuity feet into the blue clay, is a sufficient guarantee for their stability. The whole 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 semi 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 able extent, we have experience to prove. During tho last year no less than 236,667 tons have been dredged up in the enter and inner Barbour, and the depth of water increased over a very large apace 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 months, 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 moans. The 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. By laying inour tramways from the ballast wh ar f, we h ave r educed the bank on on the north by 20,000 tons, whi c h has yiehiedar emveans nue of 6281. 4s. 4d. for ballast, and we hay, the same place on the turning any accumulation that may tale south side to the same advantage With reference to of a piece of o ne the worm, we have before us specimen s a red by creosote, that h as of the piles that has been prep been four years in the harbour, and is untouched by the worm; and also a Piece u nprepared, which is eaten con siderably.ad Creosote i s a preparation of ta n , oil, and other substances, so excessively repulsive an d poisonous to the worm, t h a t neither the teredo nor the simnoria will touch any s ubstance that has been prepared by it. The whole of the piles of which the harbour is composed are prepared with this substance, whi c h i s forced into the t imber under a pressure of a hund re d pounds to the squa re inch; thoroughly saturating the whole of the outer portion of the weed, varying in thickness accord ing to the hardness of the timber and closeness of the grain. As long as this substance continues 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 surrounded by mud; from these causes, and by carefully coating the whole of the timber and piles of tho harbour each year with a preparation of coal tar and cre osote, there can be no difficulty in preserving the wood for any reasonable number of years.
