TRADE- AND SHIPPING AT CONSTANTINO
The agent at Lloyd's at Constantinople has transmitted
his annual report on the trade of that port for the year 1845
The document comprises a general list of navigation con•
nected with the port, a note of arrivals of all shipping, Britisl
and foreign, from beyond Gibraltar, with such details as are
likely to be interesting to nnderwritere and others, parti-
culars of damage to British shipping and to manufacture, au
annual account of exports of Turkey produce in 1845 and
1844, and an approximate value of imports by British and
foreign vessels, made up with much care, and approaching
very closely to reports made thereon to Government.

CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.
Several pieces of paper have of late years been. transmitted
to Lloyd's, which have been picked up in various parts of the
world inclosed in bottles, relating, it is asserted, to certain
vessels, which, upon enquiry, cannot be traced to have any
existence, whilst in other Instances, the writers of these
documents go further than a mere desire to ascertain the
current (already known in many cases) of the ocean, and
profess to give particulars of expectant shipwreck of a vessel,
of which there are many of the same name in existence, and
which would, therefore, by publication, produce much painful
anxiety. The peculiar particulars which a seafaring man
would, if of any education, give, are in these cases
entirely omitted, and therefore immediately expose
the ignorance and weakness of the writer. W hen these
documents have been picked up on the French coast, the
authorities are put to incredible trouble from their anxiety
to further the object of the writers, and the maritime interest
generally, and in many cases it is clear is produced by
persons ignorant of the subject upon which they profess so
much anxiety.
