TRADE OF THE PORT OF LONDON•

The following details, furnished by the report of file
St. Katherine Dock Company, may be interesting 06r
readers. The number of ships which had entered tbme.
docks in the two years, 1842 and 1843 were as
1842. 1843.

Entered light to load 298 31,696 328 32;33

Total .... 890 181,513 936 186,469
Showing an excess in 1843 of 46 ships and of the aggre'
gate register tonnage of 4;966 tons.
The comparison may easily be made between thi;
amount of business done by the St. Katherine's lii)c
and ore of our own, which does not contain the boast
advantage of warehouses on its quays. We knowli°,
what would he its result, but suggest inquiry. To ens,vli
our readers to form an idea of the system of docks s°
warehouses combined, viewed as a speculation, we 1i3,3,
,;
state, that the company has only been able to ree°-;
mend a dividend of l 4 per cent. upon the past half
-Yetl
which certainly does not give us any extraordinary hqe'
of the paying character of our own Albert Dock.
The trade of the whole port of London is thus stawl from the same returns •

shipping, although in number a decrease of 35 ; makil a total decrease in the number of loaded ships. of 211
but an increase in the tonnage of 18,248 registered to'
This small amount, we suspect, will bear no proportil
to the increase in Liverpool during the same period. P
is in part, however, attempted to be accounted for by the
circumstance that the trade in corn from European had materially declined in 1813-542,249 quarters le'.
of wheat alone, equal to 100,000 ship's tons, having bee:
landed in that year, as compared with the amount of tba
preceding year's importation.

house continues to be well filled, and the pieces are sac'
as give entire satisfaction. Mrs. Campbell, the leadid actress, takes her benefit this evening.
THE CHASE.—The Cheshire Foxhounds meet to-mar; row (Wednesday), at Booth Obelisk; on Tlinrsday, 11),
Mere Hall ; on Saturday, at Moulton; on Monday, s'
Kingby Windmill; on Wednesday, the 31st, at Beestoe
Castle; on Thursday, Feb. 1, at the Three Grehounds;
and on Saturday, the 3rd, at Crewe Hall ;—eachy morniat
at half-past ten.

LIVERPOOL CHARITABLE SOCIETY.—We beg to di'
rect the immediate and earnest attention of our readers to
an advertisement which appears in our columns of to-dan announcing a sermon to be preached this evening, in aid
of this valuable society, at St. Mark's Church, by the
Rev. Hugh M`Neile. We know of no ciet amamidst the present wide-spread destitution, deserves more than this, the warm support of our fellow-townstnee,'
They have a guarantee that their donations are judicioualf
appropriated, in the fact that each applicant for assistance from the funds is visited at his dwelling, and not relieved
unless found to be a deserving object.
BASE Cots.—At the Police-court, yesterday, Patrick
Callaghan, Darley M`Donough, and Robert Quin, three
rough-looking Irishmen, together with Winifred Qui,ll,:
daughter of the last-named prisoner, were charged with being in possession of base coin, implements for making
it, &c. It appeared that from some information received
Inspector M`Donald, police-officei Keenan, and anotherlvl
went to the cellar in Garden lane, tenanted by Quin, a
finding that the light was put out when they Knocked?,
forced their way in, and found seven base shillings and
nine base sixpences, also a plaster of Paris mould, a PiPe
that had been used in the operation of making base coil],
and an earthenware pipkin on the fire, with some molten white metal in it. The evidence not being quite complete
legally, they were all remanded until this day.
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. Professor Greenbardt
will make his debQ at this institution this evening, wheri
there is reason to believe there will be a full attendance:
The press is loud in its praise of the professor's oratorical
powers. According to the Manchester Courier, " thel
are of a very superior order, and the practical use whit.
he makes of his elocutionary attainments fully proves tl?°.
efficiency, the polish, and the refinement of the school in
which he has studied. His style of speaking,is
highly
classical; he is impassioned, but logical ; vehement, bl,t,
chaste; parenthetical, but clear; his manner is
effective, his gesticulation elegant, and his voice judi.c.,l
ously inflected." Another of our contemporaries says • j
" Professor Greenbank possesses a graceful person, so,
has a remarkably easy delivery ; his voice is harmonioa;
and flexible, bla tOnntenanee very expressive, and, if '6'
believed in phrenology, we Should consider
his head s
decided model.

the dealings of the brokers have, nevertheless, been 0,
the most limited nature. The last quotations for the
English securities were as follows :—Consols for mone4

and India bonds, 798. to 81s. Quotations in the foreio
house show very little variation. The tone of business
was better to-day, as may be gathered from the shade
higher prices of the speculative stocks. Spanish Is 22
for the Actives, and 301 to 31 for the Three per Cents'

LOYAL ORANGE NELSON LODGE.—On Wednesday
evening last, the brethren of the Loyal Orange NelsoS
Lodge, No. 27, celebrated the anniversary of the opening,
of the lodge, by assembling at the house of Mr. Geldera,
Ranelagh-street, and partaking of a very excellent supper'
r!, which was provided in a manner that did credit to
the
worthy host. Mr. Richard Brooks, jun., the respected
master, occupied the chair, and was well supported by the
worthy deputy, Mr. Ward, who sustained the hilarity i
the evening in a very creditable manner. After the clod;
had been withdrawn, the master gave the usual loyal and
patriotic toasts, which met with a hearty response--"P
response peculiar to those who feel the benefit of Evil
under the protection of a free, independent, and Protests!)
constitution. About eleven o'clock several of the bretbrell
retired and shortly introduced their wives and sweethearts,
upon which preparations were at once made for employ'
ing the rest of the evening in a manner which would pre!e
agreeable and amusing to the fair sex, and dancinc, Wagcommenced, and kept up with spirit. The order of tw;
evening was admirably sustained by the worshipful master
and deputy master, and all passed off to the entire satin'faction of those who had the pleasure of being present'
At the close, three hearty cheers were given for be'
Majesty Queen Victoria.
