rap ,Siam BATES' EPHILY.—This floe iron vessel, i
belonging ,to Mr. Edwald Bates, of I.4rerpoolt and
`-iontswidod!tty a gentlenamt of well-knowp experience,
who Ws eariied for himselta name which :many might
be proud :of,.(Captain Wm.. Hogg, late of tike splendid
iron skip Fearnmght, also belonging to `fir. Bates,
and was at one time captein of the spleadid ship
Higginson, in ?the palmy days of the arm of
Barton, Irlam, Wigginson, Co., of Liverpool,)
sailed from Giritasby mails on Friday week,
bound for the Cape of Good trope, having on board
upwards of 2,600 tons of coal and,eoke. Owing its her
great draft of water, the last 500 tfiES had to be ebiliped
in Grimsby roads, open to all the swell of a broad illyer,
close to the sea. The Teasel was in beautiful trim, mid
was drawing nearly twenty-four feet* and twenty-tree
forward. Large vessels are now so ,rapidly on the
inerease, that it is imperative on the iock companies,
both at Null and Grimsby, to provide othej accommoda-
tion for loading than they at present possess. At
neither port was there any machinery for leading this
vessel, and much loss of time and money was incurred
in consequence. The Doek Company at Hull do not
catch so large a fish in their docks every day, and there-
fore determined to make the most of her, and tried to
enforce the full foreign dues, because she left the port
to be docked at Grimsby, there being no graving dock at
Hull that could accommodate her. Tne charge on her
tonnage (2,163 tons) would have been nearly £l5O, and
and to which the vessel in law would_have been liable,
because she had taken 300 tons of coal on board
as ballast. To obviate this imposition, the whole of the
coals had been taken out before the remainder of her
cargo could be shipped. The Grimsby Dock Company,
with more regard to the encouragement of the building
of large ships on the Humber, have made some very
liberal reductions on the dock dues they were entitled to
eharge, in consequence of the cargo of the Bate's Family
beinc, all shipped at that port. It is usual in some ports
of England to exonerate vessels making their first voyage
from the port from all dock dues, especially when they
on the spot,—Zotfrn counOes Herald.
