It is calculated that the Trade Returns of thé present year will exhibit a total Customs Revenue bordering on £1,034,969: it is even thought they will reach £1,200,000 ; but admitting the first sum to be correct, they show an increase over last year\u2019s receipts of £295,706.TIMBER TRADE.The Trade in this great staple of the country has been very active throughout the season, and it has been done on a scale that has, beyond all doubt, proved remunerative both to the manufacturer and the shipper.ARRIVALS AT THIS PORT FROM 1849 To 1853.1849.1,064 Vessels.431,953 Tons.1850.1,979 eus.434294 1851.1,185 505,034 « 1852.1,058 © Gaseceenauee 454,102 « 1853.1,1938 rican 536,083 + Of the arrivals this year, 154 were Foreign, viz: \u2014 78 Norwegian, 32 United States, 26 Prussian, 7 Portuguese, 4 Swedish, 4 German, 1 Russian, 1 Spanish, and 1 Dutch.Their aggregate tonnage amounted to 63,849 tons.In addition to the large number of arrivals this year, there were built during the year ending 1st December, 1853.43 Square Rigged Vessels, forming.46,148 Tons.1,193 Arrivals this year.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.536,082 « 1,236 Vesscls.cooovnnnrierennninnnnn.584230 + QUEBEC BUSINESS DIRECTORY.69 Number of Vessels cleared at this Port for each of the following Provinces, in 1852 and 1853.1852.New Brunswick.88 Vessels,.4785 Tons.Nova Scotia.28 \u2018nnnes 2641 « Newfoundland.24% $ Lens 1944 « Cape Breton.5 \u201cnn.337 « Labrador.e.8 \u201c \u2026\u2026\u2026.529 « Prince Edward Island.2 © ncse 251 « 1853: New Brupswick.104 Vessels,.5617 Tons.Nova Scotia.46 Le QITB « Newfoundland.3% \u201cLL.3575 « Cape Breton.5 LE 304 « Labrador.7 anne 244 « Prince Edward Island.4 \u201cLL 176 « Ragged Island.2 \u201coo 112 \u20ac It will be seen by the above, that there is a very considerable increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the trade to Newfoundland this year.This 1s of course to be attributed to the repeal of the duty here of 124 per cent, on the fish coming from that Island.SHIP BUILDING.The great demand for ships, and the high prices they have lately commanded in England, have been the means of increasing ship building here to nearly double what it was last year ; and judging from the preparations now being made for builditfg, and the number of ships already laid down, there is reason to believe that there will be a still further increase next year: already are there 29 ships building whose tonnage will amount to 35,030 tons. 70 QUEBEC BUSINESS DIRECTORY.Ships Built and Registered at Quebec in 1854 up to the commencement of July.Eclipse, 1303 Monica,.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026 1363 Captain Cook,.1272 \u2026 Lancashire Witch,.1386 .Bucephalias,.1196 .Ocean Monarch,.1831 .SDLMOTenCY,.eens 751 \u2026 Chapultepac,.1084 .Aliquis,.1247 .Agamemnon,.756 .Typhoon.1403 .Er rte 1237 cee The Kildare,.701 \u2026 Echo,.1188 .Napoleon the \u201cThird, 1461 .A zarene,., passa see ee ne 935 .Antartic,.757 .Silistria .1025 .Jane,.755 .Caribou, .1207 Ultonia,.1398 .BUILDER.W.G.Ray.J.J.Nesbit.Drolet & Leblanc .Lomas & Sewel.John Lemelin.Baldwin & Dinning.T.C.Lee.Isaie Julien & Co.John Munn.Jean Elie Gingras.Andrew & Wm.Park.Theophile St.Jean.John Lemelin Junr.Wm.George Russell.T.H.Oliver.John James Nesbit.T.C.Lee.Jolicuer & Lachance.P.Valin & Co.Pierre Brunelle & Son.Edouard Trahan.COMPARATIVE STATEMENT Of Arrivals and Tonnage at this port, from sea, in 1853 and 1854, up to the 30th June in each year 1853 1 519 vessels 1854 520 do.208.296 tons 236,391 do.28,095 More this year.Foreigu Vessels arrived in 1854, up to the commencement of July.United States,.PARA v.vu00 34 Norway.\u2026.\u2026.0a0cu es s\u2026\u2026ssennsens socio 30 Hamburgh,.Creesrenas sl QUEBEC BUSINESS DIRECTORY.71 Bremen,.coca ess ana 0 an000 1 Russia,.,.sacs s co css cas ace nu 00000 4 France,.Gece er tet taneracnnanne .1 Portugal,.see cssuncs v\u2026csevccc0u.6 Sweden,.case 0000600000 000000 se scv000 .2 85 Quesec Turnpike TRUST.Trusrees.\u2014James Gibb, (Chairman;) A.C.Buchanan; L.T.McPherscn; Joseph E.Deblois; Dr.Rowley; W.H.Lemoine, Daniel McCallum; Hamon Gowen ; Etienne Dallaire ; J.B.Carrier ; Simeon Octeau ; Z.Nault, M.D ; John Porter Secretary: Wm.H.Rankin, Engineer ; Louis Pre- vost, Notary.Offices, Atkinson\u2019s Buildings, St.Peter Street, L.T.QUEBEC BoARD oF TRADE.CounciL.\u2014H.J.Noad, Esqr.President; R.Wainwright, Esqr; vice-president; David D.Young Esqr.Treasurer; James Gillespie ; W.Hunt; H.LeMesurier; J.W.Leaycraft; C.Wurtele ; W.Walker ; Jas.Dean; J.Thompson: A.Joseph.MONTREAL & QUEBEC MAIL LINE OF STEAMERS.New Freight Tariff, 1854.ot vs Ashes, per barrel.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.Almonds, Nuts, Pepper, Pimento, in bags per ton measurement.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.Apples, per barrel (large).se.Do « \u201c (small).\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.Do \u201c bagof2 minots.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.Biscuit, per quintal.Boat Oars, dressed, each.\u2014 socseo= sa sooooo DONONUIW OU az "]
