SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.
We have a few more Beasts on offer, bat the quality of
the supply is not at all improved, consequently choicest
descriptions are fully as dear as of late. There is a pretty
good clearage of all kinds. The number of Sheep con-
tinues small for the time of year ; good old Downs
being scarce, are rather dearer. Other kinds meet with a
ready sale. Lambs and Calves are selling about the same
as on Friday. Foreign supply consists of 1,114 Beasts,
4,260 Sheep, and 665 Calves; from Scotland, 240 Beasts
1,900 from Norfolk and Suffolk ; and 230 from the Northern
and Midland Counties.

COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY OF TIIE PORT OP LIVER-
TOOL.—A correspondent states that the revenue of the Li-
verpool Dock Estates fur the year just ended is larger than
that of any previous year, amounting, as it does, to
2913,081/ 19a. 4d., exhibiting an increase of 13,6731. 19s. 3d.
in comparison with 1852 ; of 27,0611. 4s. 10d. over 1861 ; and
of 53,092/. 4s. 7d. over 1830. Referring back to the year 1843,
ten years ago, the revenue will be found to have increased
since that period 108,7961. 17a. 3d. per annum. The tonnage
account for 1853, although exhibiting a payment of dues by
not leas than 3,899,881 tons of shipping, is not quite equatto
that of 1862, notwithstanding the increase of revenue. The
decrease in tonnage is principally in coasters, which ply
very trifling, whilst there is an increase in large ships which
pay much more. The tonnage in Liverp6ol in 1852 was
3,912,602 in 21,473 ships; in 1663, 3,899,981 in 20,490,
showing a decrease of 983 in the number-of vowels, and
I 12,625 in the amount of tonnage during the pest year.
