COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.
—The revenue of the Liverpool Dock estate for the year
just ended is larger than tlat of any previous year,
amounting as it does to 296,0811. 19s. 4d.—exhibiting
an increase of 13,6731. 19s. 3d. in comparison with 1852 ;
of 27,0611. 4s. 10d. over 1851 ; and of 53,0921. 4s. 7d.
over 1850. If we refer back to the year 1843-10 years
ago—we find the revenue to have increased since that
period 108,7951. 17s. 3d. per annum. The decreake in
tonnage is principally in coasters, which pay very trifling
whilst there is an increase inl arge ships, which pay much
more. The tonnage in Liverpool in 1852 was 3,912,502,
in 21,473 ships ; in 1853, 3,899,981, in 20,490 ships ;
showing a decrease of 983 in the number of vessels, and
12,525 in the amount of tonnage, during the past year.
WEATHER RULES.—" The change of the moon," the
expression in general use in predictions of the weather,
is idly and inconsidera telyused by educated people, with-
out considering thatin every phase that planet is the
same to us, as a material agent, except as regards the
power of reflected light ; and no one supposes that moon-
light produces wet or dry. Why then should that point
in the moon's course, which we all agree to call "the new"
when it begins to emerge from the sun's rays, have any
influence on our weather? Twice in each revolution, when
in conjunction with the sun at new, and in opposition at the
full, an atmospheric spring-tide may be supposed to exist.
and to exert some sort of influence. But the existence of
any atmospheric tide at all is denied bly somewhat g
niastucoranlvisetns_,
and is at most very problematical ; and the absence of
regular diurnal fluctuations of the barometric pressure
of its course
favours the negative of this proPositi°n' But, grantin
