BRITISH SHIPPING TRADE

A correspondent Of the London Shipping GaseRs
calls attention to the present depressed condition of
British shipping. He says: s..G
More than one-third of the tonnage in the ports
Of London and Liverpool are lying unemployed,
and in Calcutta Bombay, Madras Singapore, and
Chlna, there are upwards of 200, 900 tons British
shipping living idle. The value of ships has depre-
eiaied within the last two years so per cent Ship
puiIding at the outports is almost suspended, and
thousands OF carpenters and other artisans are I'M
employed and starving; vast numbers of master
mariners officers and seamen are also idle, and in
the greatest distress
The reason for this be argues is, that while the
ioreigner enjoys the full benefit of their carrying
traue! ureat Britain is virtually excluded from the
carrying trade of other countries. In regard to
tne pollcy OF the United States, he remarks:
america excludes US from her coasting trade, and
which, from her extensive seaboard, is of immense
inpoi tanSe' participation in the carrying trade
between New York, Boston and New Orleans. and
San FRANCISCO, would be invaluable to our shining
especially those belonging to our North American
Solones' anu II anything will have tendency to
1isseVer tner connection with this country it will
be the continued neglect of our government in nro
curing for British and Colonial sbinning full rec;.
proc,ty from the United States. New Brunswick
ana NOVA ocoIa are almost dependent on shipbuild-
ing, and could compete successfully with tba rar
lean builders but they are excluded frono sau;nc
their ships in the United States. althonab tbs
great Republic can sell her vessels in anv Rr;t;sb
port Iree OF auty; and our own shipbuilders having
10 pay heavy DUTY TOR timber, gives the American
builder protection against the british sb;n-
builder. so that not only our shipownars hnt ~
shiDbuilders, are subject to a ruinous and unfair
competition with the United States III; . a",t e
