' 10,759,340 tons, ine trade for the port ';. of Liverpool for the same year reached £,- ' a total of 18,005,398 tons.

London has - spent comparatively little K> money upon the improvement of its port §& facilities, although Liverpool has spent W 25,00P,000 dollars, Plymouth 12,500,000 R; dollars, and Southampton 10,000,000. ft/,, Hamburg, moreover, has laid out 75,000,g,l" 000 dollars in recent years, and Antwerp ii. contemplates an expenditure of 35,000,jfc 000 on new docks and facilities. At last, pj however, Parliament has passed the Port &?' of London Bill, which has set up a new |£ port authority consisting of twvutyBt eight members; and it is likely that vast Sj-„ improvements, which ihave long been ll'-, -coutcaiplated, will now be undertaken.— (Scentific American. &; EXPECTED ARRIVALS. §£_ Rarawa, from Onehunga, Wednesday. £&., Koonya, from South, Thursday.
