BRITIsH COMMERCE AND NAvIGATIoN.-
The following compilation is furnished BY
Hunts Merchants Magazine for January:
"FrOm an official statement, recently made,
Of the exports and imports Of Great Britain
to the different parts Of the world, for the
year l643, some important facts may be
gathered, TO which we would direct attOn.
tiOa. In the trade between Great Britain
and her colonies in the western world, about
SO GOO seaOlen are annually employed. The
amount Of wages, and cost Of provisions for
these cannot be less than ES,6OO,OOO per
annum; aud the repairs, insurance and re-
placing Of capital ia the ships, f4,5OO, 900

"From and to British North America and
the West Indian colonies, E14,OOO, 900; and
from and to China and the East Indies. fI6..
100000. 1t thus appears that the former
commerce requires nearly FIVE times more
ships, tonnage and seamen, to carry ii en-
than the latter; thereby afording an incaIcu
liable advantage to naval power. and the
support Of a naval force, and also TO the en-
plOyment of British agricultural labor and car

in round numbers being f23, $780, 900, it FOL
lows that one half the tonnage employed II
