Landing Passengers at Slydney, Adelaide, and Geelong.
This truly splendid Vessel, just launched, and the largest
Merchantman ever built in England, will undoubtedly prove
to be the fastest of the Australian Fleet, as she has been con-
structed expressly with the object of attaining the very highest
rate of speed. Her vast dimensions enable the Owners to
provide Passenger Accommodation not to be met with in any
Teasel afloat. Thorough Ventilation has been secured, and,
by means of Ports, of which she has one at every seven feet,
and numerous Skylights, the Passenger-deck is perfectly
lighted in every part. The undersigned have, therefore, no
hesitation in affirming that the TAYLEUR presents advantages
as a Passenger Conveyance superior to any Ship hitherto des-
patched to the Australian Colonies.

of purchases that have been made on speculation by
parties who have had the good fortune to be more clear-
sighted than their neighbours, or have had the sense to
be guided by those whose experience constitute them
authorities in such matters. Those transactions have
resulted, for the most part, in enormous profits.
" Last January we informed you of an advance in the
price of colonial ships over the previous year of 17 per cent.
The advance in the year just closed is quite 48 per cent.,
making an increase of 73 per cent. in the last two years ;
while the sales of the year amount to 635 ships, equal to
279,530 tons, against 285, or 147,471 tons in 1852. The pre-
sent stock stands at 89 against 48in 1853, 76 in 1852, and 82
in 1851, with comparatively few coming forward for sale.
The most of those now in course of construction are being
built to order, and are not likely to come upon the market.
" The total number of vessels belonging to Liverpool at
this date is 2,544 equal to 886,434 tons."

Thorr.—We quote the following from the annual
circular of Messrs. THOMAS BOYD and SON :
" The past year has been one of unparalleled activity in
the Iron trade. At the commencement of the year the
large speculations entered into in 1852 in Scotch Pig
Iron were continued : but the stock in Scotland having
been ascertained to be very large and increasing, and un-
expected stringency having taken place in the Money
Market, speculators became alarmed and forced sales ;
warrants f.o.b. in Glasgow, that were at 765. in the first
week of January, fell by the 21st to 58s. Subsequently
various temporary rallies occurred in the market, but, on the
whole, it declined, till in May the price touched 495.
About this time the very large shipments made in April
and May attracted attention, holders became firm, and
with little speculation the price advanced gradually, till
in July it reached 565. The demand for iron for shipment
to all quarters continuing very great, some specula-
tion took place, and the price advanced to 655. in
August ; and thereafter, when it was rumoured that
the duty on Iron imported into France was to be reduced,
large purchases were made, which caused prices to run up
to 80s. in November. On the appearance of the French
decree diminishing the duties, it proved that its effect had
been anticipated : no further advance took place ; on the
contrary, the market has been quiet since at a little reduc-
tion, and remains now at 795."

STEAM COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN
vem:4
' ANA WA. LIVERPOOL AND ANTWERP.
- •
Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-
ships now building for the Atlantic are completed, a regular
STEAM COMMUNICATION will be established, by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States ; and the transhipment at Liverpool, as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional means for
the expedition of their Goods.

PROVISION MARKETS.

- -
LIVERPOOL, DEc. 30.—The market for beef has been in-
active this week, but. we look for a better demand early in
the new year, as the stocks in the hands of the trade are light.
Pork, also, has ruled dull ; there is, however, less disposition
to press sales than in the beginning of the month. Some
small parcels of new bacon have been taken at 445. to 50s;
the dealers anticipate lower prices and buy sparingly.
Shoulders move more freely. There is very little doing in
lard on the spot; a sale for spring delivery at 50s is reported.
Cheese, where fine, sells readily ; ordinary sorts are neglected.
JAN. 2.—The transactions in butter were to a limited
extent last week, but in consequence of the advices of short
supplies into the Irish market, and the high rates paying
there, full prices were obtained. The import is falling off
considerably, and as the stocks held here are only moderate,
holders now demand an advance of Is to 2s per cwt. Bacon
is almost neglected. Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 100 s
to 102 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 98s to 100 s ; Bel-
fast, 95s to 98s ; Sligo, 93s to 965; Limerick, 93s to 96s ; and
Pickled Cork, 2nds, 915 per cwt., landed. Imported from
Ireland from the 24th December to the 30th December, 1853 :
6802 firkins, 6 kegs, 270 crocks, 225 boxes, 223 barrels butter;
77 bales bacon; 12 Ithds. 8 trcs. hams; 2 trcs., 30 firkins, 40
kegs lard.

THOMAS'S SHILLING CONCERTS.

THE first attempt was made last night to revive the
experiment of cheap concerts at the Philharmonic Halls
and it proved triumphantly successful. Last year it was
evident that there was sufficient love of music in Liverpool
to support first-class concerts at low prices, and perse-
verance would no doubt have overcome every difficulty.
Last night nothing was left to desire ; every seat was oc-
cupied, numbers were obliged to stand, and thunders of
applause testified to the gratification afforded. The or-
chestra comprised about sixty instrumental performers.
Miss Lascelles proved a valuable acquisition as a vocalist,
while Mr. T. Harper on the trumpet in " The Soldier
Tired," was vociferously cheered. In a word, the success
of the Shilling Concerts is an accomplished fact.

TOWN-COUNCIL_ MEETING,

YESTERDAY.

A SPECIAL MEETING of the Town-council was held
yesterday, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of making the

His Worship the Mayor was appointed trustee of Mrs—

ment of pilots.
Messrs. 11. Hornby, S. Holme, and T. Littledale were

THE NATIONAL REVENUE.

Tim quarterly statement of the National Revenue will
not be published until Friday next. In the mean time,
however, the Observer, a London weeky paper professing
to have official sources of information, has published a
statement in anticipation, from which it would appear that
upon the year's accounts there will be an increase on
Customs of about £300,000; Excise, nearly £200,000;
the Post-office a trifle, and Stamps from £lOO,OOO to
£200,000. The quarter's account will not be so favourable,
and this is attributed to the abolition of the Soap duties
affecting the Excise, and the reduction of Tea and Sugar
duties lessening the Customs returns. The Income Tax
is to show a slight increase, the Post-office an increase of
about £50,000, and Stamps a falling off.

THE NATIONAL REVENUE.

Tnn quarterly statement of the National Revenue will
not be published until Friday next. In the mean time,
however, the Observer, a London weeky paper professing
to have official sources of information, has published a
statement in anticipation, from which it would appear that
upon the year's accounts there will be an increase on
Customs of about £300,000; Excise, nearly £200,000;
the Post-office a trifle, and Stamps from £lOO,OOO to
£200,000. The quarter's account will not be so favourable,
and this is attributed to the abolition of the Soap duties-
affecting the Excise, and the reduction of Tea and Sugar
duties lessening the Customs returns. The Income Tax
is to show a slight increase, the Post-office an increase of
about £50,000, and Stamps a falling off.
