teenth century, the Ditch had almost a
monopoly Of sha ocean commerce, aud
still later, Amoric.u- built packets, satisfied
even English conoeit, that British vessels
were surpassed in model and ssa-zoinr
qualities. Nothing practical was done,
however, and "Liverpool had, in tho mean
tine, become the foreign market for the
sale of American ships" Finally, in 1864,
England repealed a!l her laws which inter
sered with entire freedom OF ship archi-
teoture. All acts and parts of acts exclud-
ing foreign vessels were repealed; all
restrictions npon the purchase of
foreien-built ships we're removed, and
the most liberal provision was made
by whiel, foreigners might become
owners, in whole or in part, of British reg
istezed vessels. In tho meantime, Great
Britain had nlso removed every t.9 or
duty upon everything entering in any man
ner as n,atc1inl in shipbuilding. Hay-
ing emancipnted British shipbuilding by
the repeal Of every Law which had come
down from remote times, and intended for
its projection, British shipbuildiog has
grown to degree unprecedented in any
age by any other nation. Mr.. Bates in
