1t now appears that freight from this
port 10 Liverpool has, within few months,
risen nearly one hundred per cent. The
advance TO the other European ports will
fal but little short Of this 1; and it is further
stated, that the prospect is that this rate
will be continued all the season. This, at
agance would appear quite favorable Of
the shipping interest, and there are some
Who thus regard it. 1t amounts 10 noth-
ing however. There is, on the whole, but
liit!e return freight; and shippers are
sorced TO tax the outward freight with the
expense of the whole voyage. Ii is this
cause tha, has put up the rate of freight
AZ the same time, the exports are not
greater than at any previous season and
the'imports are less; and the total amount
of.freight carried, therefore, is at least not
greater than at previous periods. How,
then, is the shipping interest benefited 2
Iffreghts rise excessively at this ehd ol
the voyage, but falls equally or in a greater
degree at the other end, it will gradually
prove disastrous to commerce. And thi:
is the course Of things at present. In some
instances, sufficient freight has not beer
brought back 10 pay the expenses Of the
ship on her home voyage.


/ THE exports are expected to pay nearly
all the freight, bJth outward and home, ir
this case. This rise Of nearly hundred
per cent, in freight is SO much additiona
tax upon the exports of the country. Tha
is, our home productions cannot be sen
abroad without mu.h greater additiona
charge than formerly. And the only rea
son for this is the high duties of the late
tariff, which cut off importations of tht
produce of other countries, that should bea
