firm, I beg to return you my sincere thanks. It is now
scarcely four years since we started the "Black Ball"
line, then with very moderate expectations. The subse-
quent extension of the gold fields enlarged our operations,
and perhaps I may say, without egotism, that we have
been, .to some extent, instrumental in attracting a portion
of the colony's wool trade to the port of Liverpool.
(ffear, hear.) What we have been enabled to do for
Melbourne, we hope to be able to do, to some extent, to
New Zealand, and our endeavours will be in conducting
the emigration and the trade which may be entrusted to
us, to carry it out honestly, and in a liberal Spirit—(hear,
hear, and cheers)—and I trust that some few years hence
we shall be enabled to give as good an account of our
stewardship in the New Zealand trade as I fancy we can
at the present moment of the Australian trade. (Cheers )

_ _fitting down, I beg to propose a toast which I am
sure all the shipowners of Liverpool will very gladly
drink—it is the health'of the emigration officers of the
port of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) In doing an extensive
trade in emigration it is most important to
find officials who are willing, instead of making
difficulties, to remove them. (Hear, hear.) Such
has always been our experience of the emigration
officers of Liverpool ; where they can facilitate our opera-
tions with propriety, they have always done so.. (Heart
hear.) I beg to propose "The healths of Captain Schom-
berg, and the Emigration Officers of the port of Liver
pool:" (Cheers.) _ _ _ _

Captain Schomberg said: I beg to thank you, gentle-
men, for the kind manner in which you have received my
health, and Mr. Baines given it. I need not say that
since I have been in Liverpool, I have watched with the
deepest anxiety the fittings and general equipment of
passenger ships, and owing to the enterprise and energy
of shipowners, I can say that the improvements
have been very great in every respect. First of all, we
see in this line that they have not only taken the ordinary
ships, but that they have built a fleet, and that they hay
equipped a fleet for their trade. Whatever sr

for it has been made as little disagreeable as it is possible
for a long voyage to be. I must now say, from the bottom
of my heart, that I wish this new enterprise of James
Baines and Company every success it can possibly have,
and I think, from the spirit of liberality they have shown,
that that will be the feeling of every one present. (Hear,
hear, and cheers.)
