EMIGRATION 10 AIIISTRALIA.—MT. J. F. Johnson,
of the general agency office, Sydney, in a letter dated
the 24th of May last, says—" I need scarcely tell you
that, so badly as we are off for labour, an emigration of
30,000 souls during this peer would scarcely be sufficient
for our wants. Building is nearly at an end, and every
other industrial purakit is considerably embarrassed;
our resources are permitted to remain undeveloped, our
flocks and herds (to the deterioration of our wool) but
partially tended, and, for want of mouths to consume
them, many thousands of eheep this year will bo killed
for the sake of the fat alone, in order that it may be
rendered into tallow for exportation. The expetience
of ten years, and the formation during that period of
nearly 60,000 engagements, enable use to affirm that
there is no place in the world whore the labouring classca
aro so well off as in New South Wales; good wages,
constant employment, no short winter days, and the
finest climate under the sun, aro temptations that I am
surprised your half-starved, ill-paid redundant popula-
tion can resist; when coupled, too, with the fact that the
industrious and thrifty soon become employers in their
turn. The rates of wages given in rural districts to
farm labourers aro from 12s. to 15s. per week, and board
and lodging; shepherds from 23/. to 35/. per annum,
with house-room and rations, consisting, where the man
is single, of 10 lbs. of meat, of 10 lbs. of flour, 2 lbs. of
sugar, and k lb. of tea weekly; where the man is mar-
ried, and las wife employed as hutkeeper, which any
woman can do, twice the above rations, and from 351. to
401.; gardeners, 351. to 521. per annum, with provisioiave
grooms, coachmen, and domestic male servants, from 351.
to 501.; mechanics, such as bricklayers, carpenters, ma-
sons, Sec., aro obtaining from Bs. to 103. per day; black-
smiths, tinnsen, and wheelwrights aro procurable at pay-
ing rates; for shoemakers and tailors the demand is
great, and rerrianeration excessive. Of book keepers,
clerks, and tutors, there aro sufficient for the present
wants of the colony. With respect to female servants,
Secs I think an almost indefinite number could procure
good situations at high rates of wages; but the demand
is greatest for what in England is styled a servant of
all work;' to such we aro now paying from 13/. to 201.
per annum, plain cooks 251. to 30/., housemaids 141.,
laundresses and nurses 161. to 231., to female servants
for the country, the majority being Irish orphans, we
ar© compelled to pay 161. 6s. a year; good needle-
women 123. to 11. a week, and board and lodging.
PORT or LIVERPOOL,—The borough of Liverpool
is of very ancient standing; it was first incorporated by
charter from King Henry the Second wino Domini 1173.
King John also granted a charter, with extensive privi-
leges, in the year 1207. From this date, until the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, the history of the port is involved
in much obscurity. In 1561 there were only seven streets
in the town, containing 138 cottages and 690 inhabitants.
The most iusportant event in the improvement of the

port was the building of the first look in the year 1710,
and oven at this period, its commerce was comparativy
insignificant; indeed it was not until about the year 1780
that any decided impetus was given to the common of
the port, as will appear evident from an inapeotion of the
fluxional curve of tonnage. The American war in 1776
seriously affected the trade of Liverpool, but in the year
1779 the enterprising merchants of the town fitted out
120 privateers, amounting to 31,383 tons, which carried
1,986 guns and 8,754 mon. This formidable armament
succeeded in giving groat annoyance to the enemy, and
captured seveial French ships, from the East and West
Indies. of immense value. Finally, the captors realized
pi.* money to the amount of upwards of a million
sterling; whereby the merchants were enabled not only
to retrieve their lost credit and extend the commerce of
the port, but to trade upon real capitak From this
period may be dated the commencement of the commie r
cial greatness of Liverpool ; but the most rapid and ex-
traordinary increase of its prosperity has totem place
subsequent to the year 1812. It may safely t o stated
that within the last half century there is no port in the
United Kingdom that has increased in wealth, extent,
and commercial importance, in the same ratio that
Liverpool has done. The town has of late years been
greatly extended by the immense increase of its public
and private buildings, in many of which is displayed a
high degree of architectural taste. Its magnificent range
of docks is unequalled in the annals of ancient or modern
history, whilst its comparative commercial tonnage has
long since :eclipsed that of "the great emporium of the
world." It has increased within the last 40 years from
500,000 tons to 3,900,000 ! Nor is the oommerce of the
port of less importance in a national point of view. It
eppears from a return made by order of tho House of
Commons that, in the year 1850, the value of its exports
amounted to 34,891,347 ; while those of London in the
same year are stated to have been 14.137,5271. ; thus
showing an excess in favour of Liverpool equal to above
20,000,0001. sterling.
Tun SIIPMMANUATION ACT...-. The of of the
Liverpool Custom House paid annually out of their
salaries between 2,000/. and 3,0001., whilst there is only
301. per annum paid in auperanuation allowance. I'l.i
asprfa present
as
amount contributed over the whole kingdom is 17,000/.
annually; whilst the payments amount to only 500 i. a
year, leaving from the passing of the acttoth the
time an accumulating fund of 200,0004, which,
the contributors are concerned, is valueless.
