A comparative table of the strength
of the merchant navies of the world,
which has just been published in
France, shows that Great Britain pos
sesses 22,500 trading vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage of 100000 tons
OF these vessels 4649 are steamers,
with a tonnage of $4,000 tons, or
rather more than half the grand total
of burden. The United States makes
a very bad second, with 5000 sail and
100000 tons. Norway has 1920
vessels, with 100000 tons; and Ger
many, which comes Immediately after
her, has 5000 sail, with a total of L.
100000 tons; France, Italy and Rus
STA bring up in the rear, each with less
than 5000 vessels. The proportion Of
steamers is, however, Of greater i'm
portance than the total number Of
ships engaged in trade, and in this re-
gard France stands second, although
she has but 458 steamers, of $4,000
tons in all, to Great Britain's 4649;
Germany presses her closely with 42P
steamers and 475,000 tons.
