_Imports._ | _Exports._ Tons. | Tons. Cape of Good Hope 4950 | 16,408 Eastern Coasts 152 | 240 Ports of the Red Sea ---- | 409 Islands of Cape Verd 1118 | 2883 St. Helena and Ascension 330 | 3977 Mauritius 28,650 | 16,397 Singapore and Ceylon 191,378 | 202,101 Java 2346 | 8672 Philippine Islands 3411 | 301 Other islands of India 1141 | 686 China 32,818 | 28,297 Australia 22,865 | 51,234 New Zealand 1341 | 9651 Islands of the South Sea 388 | 1018 ----------+---------- Tons 290,888 342,274 290,888 ------- Grand total Tons 633,162 Mr. Anderson, of the East India Company, estimates the tonnage of English ships in relation with the places dependent on the East India Company, for the year 1841 at Tons 727,587 Deducting the commerce with the Cape and the other places in the vicinity, estimated at 30,309 There remain, Tons 697,278 To which he adds the tonnage of the ships trading to Batavia and the other Dutch and German possessions 200,000 ------- Grand total Tons 897,278 ------- Thus Mr. Anderson gives, probably for the same year, a tonnage greater by a third than Mr. Mac Culloch. We will now compare some of these figures with those that have been officially collected by M. Arnaud Tison, delegate from the Chamber of Commerce of Rouen, in his travels in China during the years 1850-54. In 1851, 976 ships entered the ports of Australia, measuring Tons 234,215 In the same year 1014 ships cleared the ports, measuring Tons 263,894 ------- Total, tons 498,109 ------- This figure is seven times greater than that given by Mr. Mac Culloch, and as the discovery of gold was not yet made at that time, it may be said that at present the figure given by M. Arnaud Tison ought to be doubled to be correct. The total value of imports and exports was 110,000,000.
