dering that the halt per cent export duty has been
since then altogether abolished, there is, reality,
an increase of import duties over those of 1871.
The fact of any increase at all indicates far
larger increase Of trade, obviously, because il is
comparison OF periods of different duties; and it is
gratifying to find that although the tariff of 1871 is
no longer in force, and although there are now re-
duced rates timber and various articles Of extern

of imports already, to yield aggregate increase
of revenue, notwithstanding those reductions in

of much disappointment to the Bristol people, that,
although their city has all the honor OF projecting
and constructing the Great Britain, Liverpool will
have the credit of first sending her to sea. We
understand the Great Britain will visit the Thames

her gigantic portions and superb internal fittings to
