NEW WORK BY SIR E. &TIMER LYTTON BART. THE ABE.RDEEN IfINISTRY. said thus much, we cannot help adding, that al though many good and clever men—aye, many sin cere Protestants, may at one time have given their support to these tracts, yet the course pursued by some of the writers has been productive of the most serious and alarming results—many of the most prominent of them having actually gone over to the Church of Rome. We have, therefore, thought it our duty strenuously, awl by. all means in our power, to use the influence we possess as public journalists against the extreme views of those vulgarly called " Tractarians." We take this opportunity—and we think it a good opportunity—of saying that nothing would give us greater satisfaction than to see the existing schism amongst Churchmen at an end, and no effort on our part shall be wanting to produce this de sirable result. The following is the letter to which we have lya fore alluded : so much that was calculated to discourage and to deter from the prosecution of his object. In the course of time, appeared Mr. Cobden, as the' master spirit of the Anti-Corn-Law League. While Mr. Villiers was prosecuting, with grow ing success, an agitation against the bread tax within the walls of Parliament, Mr. Cobden carried on a vigorous assault, out of doors, on the citadel of monopoly. Between the conjoint efforts of the two, aided by other zealous fellow-labourers, and at last receiving the cordial co-operation of Sir I Robert Peel, the anti-corn-law agitation was f crowned with success. Trade in the people's food was proclaimed to be free, after the lapse of a brief period to give time to prepare for the transition. Mr. Cobden and Mr. Villiers, then, are the real authors of that free-trade policy which has destroyed the Derby Cabinet, and paved the way for the ad vent of an Aberdeen Administration. From a feel ing of gratitude, therefore, if from no other consi deration, these gentlemen ought to have been among the first to whom Lord Aberdeen offered seats in his Cabinet. But, besides their claims on the score of their distinguished services to the cause of free trade in particular, and to that of popular progress in gene ral, they are men whose intelligence, integrity, and capacity would render them an acquisition to any Government. And yet neither of their names is to be found in the list of the new Ministry. It is true that an indirect intimation was made to Mr. Cobden, that a place would be found for him in the Governinent, but without a seat in the Cabinet. The hon. gentleman very properly spurned the offer, and expressed his indignation at the unbecoming manner in which it was made. Mr, .:Villiers also has had office offered to him, .and adeepted. it ; but that office is not -oue commensurate, either in - its importance or its emoluments, with the abilities and the services of the hon. gentleman. There is not a man in the House of Commons more entitled to a seat in the Cabinet than the member for Wolverhampton ; and we do trust that the tardy act of justice will yet be done both to him and Mr. Cobden, of offering them seats at the Council table, unclogged with any conditions which, as honour able, independent men they could not accept. If Lord Aberdeen will only do this, and do it under the circumstances we have indicated, we shall re gard it as a most favourable augury for the pro. gressive policy and perpetuity of his Administration In a, few days will be pabllthed, [M. • I N 0 V E L.

"Sir,—Although opposed in many points, yet I ven ture to address you on the present occasion, thinking that the time has now arrived for a closer union and bet ter understanding between men of different views, who may still be attached to the English Church. The attempt of an individual may seem Quixotic, but if it be right, the tiny-spark will soon communicate itself, and a blaze spring up. " The ill-disguised vexation and annoyance displayed by the future 'Drummer of the Pope's Brass Band,' the traitorous Times, at the straightforward letter of Arch deacon Denison to the Peelite Gladstone, proves more than ever the necessity of union at the present moment. That letter will show the opponentS at Oxford that the opportunity has now come, when, by a combined move ment, the oracle's pet may be dismissed in the same manner as his Protean prototype of old. Hip.c. illcx la chryirue. Hence the affected ridicule, hence the ill concealed hatred and rancour. But the Times may depend upon it that a large body of the clergy will not be bullied into submission to the present conglomeration of opposites by such means. " There are many, like myself, High Churchmen, but anti-Romanisers, who would be ready to unite with the more moderate Evangelicals against Popish insolence, and Popish plots. "At the time of the Papal aggression, I stood almost alone at Southwark, and denounced the dastardly con duct' of Lord John, in his far-famed Durham letter. I saw then that it was a cowardly attempt to shift the blame from his own shoulders to that of others, and to implicate, if possible, the whole of the High Church party (who were known to be opposed to Whig notions) in the doings of the • Romanisers and ultra-Tractarians. I showed, moreover, perhaps with more zeal than discre tion or ability, that the majority of that school had ema nated originally from the ultra-Low Church. But a large body of the latter, contrary, "as I knew, to the advice of some of the best and earnest men among themselves, were bent upon following in the minister's track ; and, instead of joining in points upon which we could all agree, determined upon gaining an ultra-Protestant victory, thereby placing the Church beneath the heel of the Government. A similar course was adopted through the country. Ido not say this by way of reproach or retaliation. Many, I believe, have since regretted a line of conduct calculated to estrange their brethren, and in reality do the work of Rome. They have also seen the hollowness and insin cerity of the much-lauded letter by the " boy who chalked up 'No Popery,' and then ran away ;" and they would gladly join such High Churchmen as they could trust in opposing the continuance of the Papal sup porters in power. " Now it does appear to me that the opportunity which was then lost might now be revived, and that if such men as Archdeacon Denison, Dr. Spry, and others of a similar cast of mind, were conciliated instead of being abused and often misrepresented by the so-called. Protestant party, that a real ' blow and heavy discou ragement' might eventually be struck at the present semi-Popish, semi-Presbyterian administration. At all events, Mr. Gladstone might be ousted with the greatest possible ease from Oxford. Begging to apologise for this liberty, I remain, sir, your obedient servant, " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to kite is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. CONTENTS : —I.

The South-Western board discussed, at some length, we understand, on Friday, the following propositions for extending the Southampton and Dorchester line to Exeter : MANNING THROSITIPS FOR TRANSPORT SERVICE.-- - OR Satmko oy, the Admiralty (ill pirsuance a a re.r,ohztiou to pron Ate the employment and consequent growth of sea men for the merchant service, and for national use in time of need) gave notice to the merchants and ship owners on 'Change, that on all future occasions of hiring ships for the conveyance of troops, four men would be required for every 100 tons of the vessel taken up, and for the transport of convicts, nine men for every 200 tons, in addition to two boys for each ship—one half the crew to be composed of able seamen before the mast, the remainder to consist of officers and ordinary seamen, who had been at sea before. FRENCH SCREW LINE-OF-BATTLE SHIPS.—The follow ing from the Phare de la Loire will recommend itself to the careful attention of the new Board of Admiralty : For some time past the establishment of the Indret has been manufacturing steam-engines for vessels in different ports. One has been sent to Lorient for the Jean Bart, and one to Cherbourg for the Marceau. At this mo ment, also, experiments are making on the Montebello, at Toulon, with an engine of 160-horse power from In dret, intended as an auxiliary for first-class sailing-ships to leave port without the necessity of being towed. An engine of 450-horse power is about to leave Indret for the Austerlitz, at Cherbourg. In construction there is one of 400-horse power for the Assas, which is building at. Rochfort ; one of 650-horse power for the Uhn, which is building at the same port ; and one of 400-horse power for the Phldgeton ' which is building at Cherbou r g. To these we must add a machine of 1,200-horse power which the Minister of Marine has just ordered for the Bretagne, which is to be built at Brest." without exciting any 'remark:. Nobody predicts, with horror, that Sir William's theories will be thrown to the wind, and himself swamped in the mud of office ; or, on the other hand, that he will break up the Government. Nay, favoured, it would be said, by the blindness or negligence of the public, the great philosophical reformer goes to his borough for re-election. It is i a populous borough, a democratic borough, and without a single member of the aristocracy residing in it. Tooley-street is there, and many other scenes of plebeian debate. Its constituency may be termed a pure democracy, we are told, for real household suffrage is there, the number of electors being nearly equal to the number of houses. By such, a constituency this Radical Reformer, after accep *ng office under Lord Aberdeen, is returned, not onl without opposition, but even with immense and animous congratula tion. . _ THE ALBION GOLD MINING COMPANY, - 1 for working the Gold Mines on Burns' Creek, and the Quartz Gold Wins, under a Conveyance In Fee•simple, of 1,000 acres, near Quartzburgh, Mariposa, California.

The question we set out with was, why this strange combination of, political opposite does not so much as excite the least surprise ? The answer is found in the very simple statement of Sir William Molesworth, echoed by his friends, and practically adopted by the 10,000 elector:4 of Southwark, that the right hon. baronet will do a great deal more good in the Cabinet than out of it. Out of office all that Sir William has done, or can do, is occasionally to review our colonial policy, exposing numberless evils in very powerful language, and propounding sound theories in a very uncompromising tone. He has invariably been met with the answer that the evils could not be helped, and the theories did not apply, and so the matter ended for the mo ment. Sir William made a strong case, and the Under-Secretary replied that it was too strong a one. Sir William was told that his views were not practical, and the Under-Secretary was not at all concerned to reduce them to a practical form. This unsatisfactory exhibition might have been re peated year by year to the end of the chapter ; and in other countries and other times it would have been so repeated. Just now, however, we are beginning to see the folly of this perpetual antagonism be tween theory and practice. We are beginning to understand that it will not do to protect official practice from just correction, and drive sound theory to impracticable extremes, and we therefore bring the two in combination. We invite the theo rist to step into office, and help to set his theories to work. It is very true that Sir W. Molesworth is not in the Colonial-office, and that he will not be called on to test his principles immediately. But he is placed in a position where ho may tender his advice on every possible colonial question, and where his general consent will be required to the course actually taken. That is quite as much as a sensible theorist would desire. His present position, as compared with that out of office, will make just the difference between the possi bility and the impossibility of conference between philosophy and practice, if that deserves to be called practice which is often little more than the obstinacy of officials.

The same interest ing operation will be performed as on the screw line-of battle ship Duke of Wellington—namely, the cutting the ship in halves, launching the after part some 30 feet, and then building and filling up the middle—thereby increasinr , her tonnage to nearly 4,000 ; a screw-propel ler will be added, and she will be in all respects a sister ship to the Duke. It will not be many days before this gigantic operation takes place, under the immediate di rection of Mr. Abether, the master shipwright of this yard, and who was so eminently successful in carrying out the views of the Admiralty in making such altera tion on the before-named line-of-battle ship. The Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, has engaged a most e ffi c i en t an d first rate private band, and has given orders for a very becoming uniform, to Mr. Mitchell, naval outfitter, of the High-street.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at al , stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and In continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical aml academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and nviolatAe secrecy which are co requisite in the treatment of these ases.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC IN 1852. It appears that the - gross receipts of railways in the United Kingdom for the year 1852 have amounted to 15,543,6101., being at the rate of 2,1181. per mile per annum. With regard 'to the traffic returns published weekly, they show a- progressive increase during the past 11 years. In the year 1842 they amounted to 4,341,7811. ; in 1843, to 4,842,6501. ; 1844, to 5,610,980/. ; in 1845, to 6,669,2301. ; in 1846, to 7,689,870/. ; in 1847, to 8,975,6711. ; in 1848, to 10,059,0001. ; in 1849, to 11,013,8201. ; in 1850, to 12,757,9851. ; in 1851, to 14,567,9101. ; and in 1852, to 15,543,610/. The capital expended on the rail ways of which the traffic is published weekly, amounted in July 1842, to 52,380,1001. ; in 1843, to 57,635,0001. ; in 1844, to 63,489,1001. ; in 1845, to 71,647,0001. ; in 1846, to 83,165,1001. ; in 1847, to 109,528,000/. ; in 1848, to 148,200,000/. ; in 1849, to 181,000,000/. ; in 1850, to 219,762,700/. ;.in 1851, to 229,175,2301. ; and in 1852, to 239,967,4531. The ex penditure on those new and old lines, the traffic returns of which are not published weekly, amounts to about 8,626,1001., making, with the 239,967,4531., a total of 248,593,5531. expended on 7,338 miles of railway, being at the rate of 33,879/. per mile. Deducting 45 per cent. for working expenses from the gross receipts of 1852, will leave for interest and dividend 8,548,985/. ; which on the capital expended would be at the rate of 3-44 per cent. per annum. It is probable that the amount to be divided among the holders of railway shares, bonds, and debentures, afterthe next half-yearly meetings in February, will not be less than 4,500,000/. A HEARTLESS SWINDLER.—A young femme chambre, named - Bulot, appeared yesterday (Thursday) before the Tribunal of Correctional Police to complain of a young man named Legagneux, for having swindled her. She had, it appeared, put an advertisement in a news paper for a place, and as a proof of her respectability, had imprudently made known that she was possessed of 1,600 francs in Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, of 880 francs in the Savings' Bank, and of 1000 francs in cash. Legagneux went to her, and, representing him self as a physician just commencing business, proposed to her to be his housekeeper, at a liberal salary. She consented, and at his request advanced him 1000 francs. He made love to her, and promised her marriage. He thereby persuaded her to sell her stock and withdraw her money from the Savings Bank. He then, on dif ferent pretexts, got the whole of it from her. At length the poor girl found that he had employed the money in establishing a young woman in business, and in paying his tradesmen's bills ; she also found, what was still more mortifying, that he was married. Seeing clearly that she was swindled, she laid a complaint to the po lice, and he was arrested. It was then discovered that lie had previously been condemned to three years' im prisonment for forgery, and to six months' imprisonment for swindling.

SUPPLY OF WATER IN LONDON AND PARlS.—Whilst in London the supply of water to the population is about 112 quarts per day a head, in Paris it is only 60—and of that quantity a great part is allowed to flow in the streets. Water, too, is very unequally distributed in the different quarters ; thus, in the 12th arrondissement, where the streets are very narrow and dirty, there is one borne-fontaine (a small fountain destined principally for washing the gutters), for every 35,000 square yards, whilst in the 4th, 6th, Bth, and 9th arrondissements there is one for from 3,000 to 9,000 yards. In the Ist arrondissement, in which the streets are wide and airy, there are 312 such fountains ; but in the 12th there are only 120 to 182 streets. We have seen how the matter has stood hitherto so long as Sir William Molesworth had no better opportunity or occupation than to make a telling speech once or twice a year on our colonial admin istration, and publish it in the form of a pamphlet. Let us see how the matter will stand now. When the next colonial difficulty comes before the Cabi net—when some flourishing colony demands the entire control over its revenue, the appointment of all its public functionaries, the sale of its land, a purely representative Government, or any other reasonable object of colonial ambition—Sir Wil liam will be called on to advise, and to recommend the concession or the denial of the demand, or any other course that may be proposed. Now, if, on the one hand, the cause of the colonists and the cause of liberty and progress will gain in Sir Wil liam a good and influential vote, so, on the other hand, he will probably give more deliberation to that vote than he would to every word in an Op position speech, or every flourish of his pen in a declamatory pamphlet. He will probably think rather more about the actual consequences of the proposed measure than he would about the effect of a telling sentence, a brilliant antithesis, a highly wrought picture, or a bold anticipation. Hitherto it was out of Sir William's power to offer just that sort of advice which w o uld have been of real utility. Had his Op i n i on b een as k e d on thi s or that point, the only answer he could have made would have been that he declined to advise where he was not regularly engaged, and where, conse quently he could n o t assist in carry i ng ou t hi s advice. On the other hand, it was absolutely necessary to state his case, in an appeal to the Legislature and th e peop l e — a ll th e a pp e al hitherto allowed him—i n t h e b roa d es t an d m ost striking characters. C omprom i se , qualification of all sorts, moderation, tact, are all out of place when a man is going through the preliminary process of making his cause k nown . Confessedly, in the application of the soundest principles there is in culcating great difficulty, and with that difficulty the phi losopher the first principles of his science. Why should he volunteer limit a ti ons an d cons iderations of prudence which could not succeed in purchasing the approbation of office, but would sink the theory in the dull understanding of the people ? There is no longer this gulf between the Minister and the philosopher. Sir William Molesworth can now consult on the best practical means for giving safe and lasting effect to his views of colonial self government.

We have great pleasure in stating that our readers will find in another part of our paper an unprepared—namely,announcingadvertisement a fact for which we were that it has been decided on nominating the Marquis of Chandos as a repre sentative for the University of Oxford on Tuesday the latest possible hour.

For ourselves, we would wish to say, that although the Morning Herald has been stigmatised as " Evangelical," " Low Church," &c., &c., we have never been of any extreme party ;. we have endeavoured to advocate, feebly perhaps, moderate High Church principles ; we have always sincerely deplored the schism which has taken place in the University of Oxford, and we will even go further than this—that we have ever believed the Oxford Tracts were originally commenced with the best views ; but when we have Now that the Aberdeen Administration is fairly formed, we are willing to give it, what it has a right to expect—a fair trial. If it survive for some time, and bring forward really liberal measures, it shall have our heartiest support ; but we must say that our convictions of the impossibility of its hold ing long together remain as strong as they were at first. If, indeed, there be any difference, it is that those convictions are stronger than ever. We have never supposed that the great danger which the Aberdeen Administration would have to en counter would arise from external attacks. It is not from the assaults of the Opposition that their perils—if to perils they are to be exposed—will pro ceed. The danger is to be apprehended from within. It will spring from dissensions among themselves. The friends of the Coalition Cabinet dwell with ex ultation on their superior administrative ability. We have never questioned it. We have, on the contrary, been, from the first, forward to admit that they are the most talented ministry, taking them as a whole, which the present race of public men could furnish. But that will prove one of the main dangers to which they will be ex posed. The majority of the Aberdeen Cabinet are too able—too clever by a great deal—to agree among themselves. All will be striving for the mastery. Lord John Russell, we all know, was the Prime Minister. Lord Palmerston was master of the situation, and had he stood aloof for a few months, he would, most surely, have been sent for byjthe Queen to form another Ministry. The Duke of Newcastle, it is well known in the best informed political circles, most confidently expected to be summoned into the presence of her Majesty to receive her Majesty's commands to un dertake the construction of a new Cabinet. Sir James Graham, it is well understood, is equally ambitious of the Premiership. Nor does Mr. Gladstone deem himself without pretensions to that high office. With, therefore, at least five or six members of the Ministry, all regarding themselves as qualified to fill the post of Premier, it is not by any means probable that there will ba that har mony of feeling and unison of action which are in dispensable to the stability of the new Cabinet. Nor must it be forgotten that Lord Aberdeen is not the man to keep in check the jealousies of the leading members of his Cabinet. There does not attach such a prestige to his name as will overawe or keep them in order. He is not the disciplinarian that Sir Robert Peel was. He is a soft, easy man, grievously lacking the decision of character and energy of purpose which a person in his position ought to possess. We are not, therefore, to expect that he will crush any disposition to quarrel among themselves, which he may discern among his col leagues, while that disposition is in an incipient state. It is on these grounds that we do not expect a long life to the Coalition Cabinet. The event will show whether or not our anticipations are correct. We are willing to wait until the verdict of actual facts has decided the matter. In the meantime, the country would have had greater confidence in the popular tendencies of the Aberdeen Ministry had there been a greater infu sion of the Liberal element in its composition. Why is there only one man in the Cabinet who be longs to the class of politicians called Independent Liberals ? Why, of all men in the world, if only one such person was to be received into the new Cabinet, was Sir William Molesworth the person so selected ? His Liberalism has never been with out its drawbacks. He has systematically treated his constituents with a superciliousness of manner which few constituencies would have brooked. He is by nature, and taste, and habits an aristocrat. Beyond the fact that he has voted for certain popu lar measures, we do not see what pretensions he has to the character of a Liberal at all. He has never manifested any sympathy with either of the great popular movements which have taken place since his introduction into public life. Who ever saw him on the platform at public meetings in fa vour of Parliamentary Reform ? Who ever heard his voice in behalf of Free Trade, when the mighty agitation in favour of unrestricted competition was being carried on under the auspices of the Anti- Corn-law League ? We know of no man profess ing to be an Independent Liberal to whom the po pular cause is less indebted than to Sir William Molesworth. Had Lord Aberdeen been sincere in his profes sions of a determination to carry on his Govern ment on really popular principles, there are two men to whom, as if by a sort of instinct, he would have offered seats in the Cabinet. To these two men Lord Aberdeen owes his present position as Prime Minister. Need we mention their names ? Every one, we are sure, will at once perceive that we refer to Mr. Cobden and Mr. Villiers. To the latter gentleman the country is indebted for having originated the opposition to the corn laws. Year after year he brought forward a motion for the re peal of those laws, amidst circumstances of dis couragement, arising from th e i gnorance and apathy of the public mind on the subject, which would have crushed the energies, and paralysed the efforts, of a man of less firmness of purpose We doubt if there was then another man in the House of Commons who would have persevered with a yearly anti-corn law motion, in the face of The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Lyster, flag of Rear-Admiral Bruce, commanding the squadron on the West Coast of Africa ; the Prometheus steam sloop, Commander Phillips ; and the Teazer, Second-Master M'Kenzie, were at anchor off Whydah on the 19th of November. The Commander of the Prometheus was about to proceed on a mission to Abbeokuta. It was reported that Kosoko was collecting men, ammuni tion, &c., at Jabbo to make an attack on Lagos. Akatoo, ,the King, placed on the throne by us at Lagos, is a poor imbecile old man, and consequently trade was very dull there. ,The Prometheus con tinued sickly. The spirits of her crew were a little raised at the report of her coming home the following month (December.) The Cygnet, 6, Commander White, was at anchor off Lagos on the 14th of November. The Britomart, 12, Commander Heseltine, sailed from Lagos for Fernando Po on the 16th of November, with Mr. Fraser, Vice-Consul, to bring his furniture, &c., to La gos, where he is to take up his residence. The Myrmidon iron tender, Lieut. W. K. Jolliffe, sailed from Lagos on the 17th of November, with Mr. Beecroft, Consul, to make his annual visit up the rivers. There was not the slightest vestige of the slave trade left in the Bights.

In conformity with our usual custom at this season, we have the pleasure to hand you our annual statement of the business done in the sale of ships at this port for the year past, and on no occasion have we been able to report so favourably—both of the amount of tonnage • sold, and the prices that have been obtained. In one of our recent circulars we took occasion to state, that a period of unusual prosperity in the shipping interest of this country might shortly be looked for, and most fully have our anticipations been realised. Prices of colonial ships having advanced fully 17 per cent, since then, and with a continuing tendency upwards ; while stocks have been reduced to 48 sail, against 76 in 1852, and 82 in 1851, without any immediate supplies being expected. We have great pleasure in noticing a marked improve ment both in the model, material, and finish of Cana dian ships, the majority of which have been constructed to class six or seven years, and to which a decided pre ference is given by buyers over spruce ships, or those classing but four or five years, even at a very increased price. Among those that have arrived within the last eight months, will be found some as fine models of naval architecture as ever have been produced—combining in reality (from having great length of floor and fine ends) both carrying and sailing qualities of no ordinary kind. This advance in prices we do not mean to apply so much to British-built vessels, for though a larger busi ness has been done in them this year than last, we can not advise much, if any, increase in price. Our quota tions for 1852, therefore, remain unaltered. New co lonial ships, to class seven years A 1, must be quotes at fil. 15s. to 81. 10s. per ton ; those classing six years A. 1, at 61. to 71. 10s. ; five years, Si. 10s. to 71. St. John's, Miramichi, and Quebec build, to class four years, are worth from Si. to 61. per ton ; those built at the lower ports of same class, are worth from 41. 10s. to 51. 10s. per ton. Large secondhand ships with or without •lass have also been in much demand, in anticipation of an advance in cotton and timber freights. The enormous emigration to Australia has mainly contributed to this advance, besides which, freights generally are very much better for the larger class of ships. Within the last two months, several small craft, vary ing from 180 to 260 tons register, and of light draft of water, which enables them to go direct to the port of discharge, have been purchased for the Australian trade, at full prices. This prosperous state of things, we believe, will con tinue for twelve months,—or it may be somewhat longer —when, perhaps, it is not too much to expect some means will have been found for freeing a large number oaf those ships that are now lying unmanned and incapa ble, at the various Australian ports, amounting, by the last return, to 200 sail, equal to about 100,000 tons, and which, when freed, will return upon our market about the same time the large fleet of colonial ships now in the course of construction will have found their way here, and which bear a proportion of five to three over those built in 1852, and five to four in 1851. The number of new vessels that have come into Liver pool within the year and sold is 120, equal to 50,000 tons. atuhnisched an at 9,200 in 1851. yearisd 39, t ;e e m e p o u u te rs d e a o t f construction lso o e o n t u en m s b a i r n g f i o a u s s r t h p i 2 p o 3 s r , t computedl foreign vessel s . that have changed stru Th ct e io n n um he b r e e r a o m f o st u e n a t m t e o rs l3 b , u e i l ci t u a a n l d t o in 4 , o e so co t u o rs na e . of con- The number o f hands in Liverpool since the pass ing of the New Marine 000 tons. by British owners, amount iron-built sai ling . vessels, the most remark trade is the very increasing favour they AatobclAlte Isf a i'enr r aee e tqglu g sae o lo w :too f a n nos g du, into, and which are now occupying the builders both here, in the Clyde, Newcastle, and else where, to an unprecedented extent.
