The navigation can be worked by steam-power, and when the harbour is completed, so that the coal can be brought direct from the collieries, the freight charges will probably be reduced to 2_s._ 3_d._ or 2_s._ 6_d._ per ton, as against 3_s._ 6_d._, the lowest now charged. The preceding table is a statement of the details of this undertaking.
