STATISTICS.

Asa member Of the Committee on Stats.
tics, beg to offer the following statement o:
the principal articles of domestic produce
exported as cargo, from 1874 to 1851 inclu.
slve; and a calculation Of the number ol
Cattle, Horses and Sheep on this group,
made up from information received from per.
sons residing upon the different Islands, and
engaged in grazing.
The tables from which the following state
ment of exports has been made up, have al
ready been published here, but have not been
put together before in such form as to admit
OF an easy comparison Of one year with
another.
In consequence ofthe annual meetings of
the Society being held at different times of
the year, it is impossible to give the amounts
of exports between the times of the meetings
in such way as to be satisfactorily compared,
therefore l have chosen to give them for each
year commencing with the lst of January.

40. 700. II.7OO. 10. 900.

The cattle known as "wild cattle" on Ha-
waii are estimated by different individuals at
from 10000 to 10000 ] have put them
down at $4,000, which is probably Nss than
the actual number.
1t is stated by graziers that the natural In
crease of the herds of cattle on these islands
is at least thirty per cent. per annum. TAX
ing 40, 700 for the basis of calculation and IT
gives an increase of IL ,2lO for the present
year. The whole number slaughterea and
sold fresh will not exceed 3,2lO, Judging
from the number of hides exported yearly,
the number slaughtered altogether appears
to be less than $500, leaving net increase
of 5000 The quantity of beefsold fresh has
probably been as great during the two years
last past. as it will be for number of years
to come, SO that unless there be decided
check put upon the increase, or large quanti-
ties of beef packed for expectation, the cattle,
together with the large herds of horses, will
soon over-run the islands, put an end to the
cultivation Of the soil, and render the herds
themselves, Of little value.

And with reference to the general question
OF the working of the change in the Naviga
ton Laws, Mr.. Vice-Consul Cunningha
states, lit may be pronounced with grea
confidence, that British vessels can success
fully compete with vessels from any natior
frequenting or likely to frequent the Danube
or Black Sea-" And further, he states
"Britsh vessels sail cheaper than any Med.
iterranean vessels whatever, and, therefore
can stand against any competition they can
possibly meet with in this quarter.
The insufficient supply of British Shipping
to meet the demands for ships for the large
ly-increased Imports and Exports of the
year 1850. is probably referable to tie alarm
OF the shipowners at the prospect of the re-
peal ofthe Navigation Laws, and to their
having consequently prepared for decreas-
ed instead of an increased demand.
Certain it is, that in the year preceding
the change in the Navie alton Laws, the
building was below the average, the number
of ships built and registered in the ports of
the United Kingdom having been 73O, with
a tonnage of liz, 1853, the yearly average
for the last ten years being S27 ships and
l23, ,62l tons.
And the supposition that the shipowners
in alarm had unwisely contracted their stock
of vessels before the change in the Naviga-
tion Laws came into operation, and showed
them their error, is borne out by the fact
that in the year 1850 the tonnage of the
ships built and registered in the United
Kingdom exceeded the average by upwards
of lO, 900 tons, though the number of vessels
fell short of the average by 1873; fact de-
serving of special attention as denoting
change in shipbuilding, attributable to the
change in the Navigation Laws
Before the shipowners had discovered the
groundlessness of their fears of foreign CON-
petition, the more intelligent and enterpris-
ing amongst them, foremost of whom was
Mr.. Lindsay, had perceived that improve
ment in the scantling, structure, and equip
ment oftheir ships was indispensably neces-
sary, and the ships now built for the fereign
trade are generally of a very superior class
in every respect relating to siowage and
sailing qualities. Thus has competition been
followed by improvement.
The account of the number of vessels
with the amount of their tonnage, built and
registered in the United Kingdom in the
last ten years, is as follows -

The exports of sugar in 1851 were rery
small, amounting (as you see by the table, J
to only 81 900 lbs. against $50, 900 lbs. for
the year before, owing principally to the ex-
cessive quantities and low prices Of sugars in
California, whittier nearly all our exports
look for a market. The severe drought in
some parts of the Islands, and the embarras-
sed finances and failure of some of our plant
ers in other parts, in 1851, has very much
essened the amount of sugar and molasses
which would otherwise have been in market
now, and for which fair prices could now be
obtained in San Francisco. The quantity of
sugar exported in 1852, thus far, amounts to
about $50 900 lbs
The exports of Coffee in 1851 were small
also, owing TO the same cause which affected
the trade in Sugar; but we hope for larger
export this year, though the quantity on hand
is rather small
The exports of Potatoes and other vegeta-
bles, which previous to 1850 were next to
nothng-during the years 1850 and 1851 ;,
were our most valuable product, but have
now dwIndled down to small figure again,
and unless the crops Of California and Oregon
should be destroyed by drought or some other
improbable cause, our vegetable trade with
California will henceforth be trifling. Let US
at least, try to produce an abundance Of good
vegetables for our own consumption, and to
supply, at fair prices, the vessels that visit
our ports.
About 5000 bbs of salt have been export
ed since January lst 50, and the quantity
for the. whole year will probably exceed that
of any year since lS47.
Wool is an article which might be and
ought to be produced in considerable quanti-
ties on these Islands. According to the out
ward manfests, the whole quantity exported
during the last eight years does not exceed
1000 lbs.
There are number Of articles not includ-
ed in the above table, of which considerable
was exported during the years ls49, 1850,
and 1851, but, little, compared with what
there might be, and probably will be. when
we have the advantages of steamers to ship
by, viz Fowls, Swine, Pumpkins, Melons,
Bananas, Pine Apples, Oranges, Lemons,
Lines, and, (if we can learn to cure them
Figs.
The number of Cattle, Horses and Sheep, |
of all ages. upon this group, as nearly as
can ascertain, is as follows

One of the objections most strongly urget
against the change of the Navigation Law.
was the danger that British Ship Building
would be superseded by the purchase o
Foreign-built ships and the registry o
them as British, and it is loudly asserted
that the British builder could not compete
with the produce of foreign yards, and thai
his occupation would be gone as soon as
his rivals were admitted to the market
1t Itappears, however, that the Foreign-buill
vessels registered in the ports of the United
Kingdom in the year 1850, were only 81. OF
an aggregate tonnage Of 10 ,499 and insig-
nificant as this amount is, it would have
probably have been much less but for the
representations of the impossibiity Of the
British builders competing with the foreign
er, which naturally invited foreigners to send
their vessels for sale 10 a country where
such advantages were promised them.
The encouragement to this speculation
has not, however, been great, and the re-
duced price of shipbuilding in this country,
which has been consequence of the repeal
of the Navigation Laws, will not tend to ia
vor repetition of the venture.
Frcm the monthly accounts Of Trade and
Navigation for the present year, it appears
that 76l, ,s2l, tons Of shipping have enter
ed nwards, within the quarter ending 5th of
April. showing an increase of l35, ,O03 tons
as compared with the corresponding period
of the year 1850, and an increase of 33, 1S5
tons as compared with the year lS49
Within the same period 907 S23 tons of
Shipping ofthe United Kingdom have cleared
out, showing an increase of sc, 1913 tons as
compared with IS49, and 3S, ,2O5 as compar-
ed with lS49.
The increase of the Forei gn Tonnage has
been in still greater proportion, 44S, ,273
tons having entered inwards in the quarter !;
an increase Of l64 1872 as compared with
1850, and of sc, ,669 as compared with IS49.
The Foreign Clearances for the same
period amounted to 0,O73 tons an in
crease of ll6, 769 tons as compared with
1850, and of 55,6l2 tons as compared with
IS49
This increase is to be accounted for in
part, no doubt, by a deficient supply Of
British shipping, which has compelled mer-
chants to have recourse to Foreign vessels,
and it is also to be observed that the Cross
Trade opened under the new Navigation
Law must swell the returns Of shipping in
our own ports. as it diminishes the account
of our own tonnage in the same, and rsce
rersa.
The largely increased demand for Ship
ping may be inferred from the increase in
the Imports and Exports of the quarter, the
latter having advanced from fl2, SO, ,O33
declared value in 1919, to ETA ,655, l53, de-
cIared value in 1850, and to the unprecedent-
ed amount of fl6, ,523, ,3A declared value in
1851.

TIE CITIES OF CHISA.-A correspondent of the
New York Commercial, writing from ShaDghae,
gives interesting account of the five ports Of
China. He says, by the treaty of peace between
the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor CT
China, ratified at Marking, 29th of August, 1912,
it was agreed that the following FIVE ports should
be opened for the transaction of mercantile affairs,
viz Canton, Annoy, Fuchau Flu, Ningpo, and
Shanghae, and that foreigners should have the lib
erty of residing with their families and establish
ments at these ports, for the purpose of carrying
on their business without molestaton restraint.
So far as Canton s concerned this treaty has nev-
er been of much use, as foreigners are as much
restricted now as they have been for many years,
not being allowed to go out Of the original limits
assigne6them and every plan has been resorted
to to throw impediments in their way. This - tbs
principal reason why the foreign population has not
increased here more rapidly. And but for this,
Canton would long since have numbered Its for
eign residents by thousands instead OF hundreds,
as at present. By reference to the map, the posi-
ton of the five ports can be readily seen, In order
to have a correct view of the subject, the reader
had better consult one-
Auoy is situated on an md of the same name
about 200 miles to the nortkward of Canton. Its
position for trade is very good being the principal
port of the Fuhkien province. and many important
places in the interior receive their supplies through
it. Some hundreds of junks belong to and trade
with this port, and large business IS done with
Fonnosa, Singapore and other neighborng places.
The trade is increasing rapidly, and the popu-
lation is about 300 000.-Fuchau Fu IS the caPital
of the Fuhkien province, which is the principal
district for black teas. The population is about
600, 200, but there is yet very little trade at
this port. Ningpo is situated IN the CheukIang
province. and has population of 100000, but as
yet very little foreign trade.
Shanehae, the most northern port in the en-
pre open for trade, is situated the Woosung nv
er, near the mouth of the Yang-stze-kiang whichis
one of the largest rivers in Asia. Here, since the
opening of the port, has sprung up business with
such rapidity as even to astonisil the Amencans
themselves, accustomed az they have been at
