Total Third Class 20,642 



4th Class, servants and camp-fol- r

In the above calculations no credit is taken 

 for the great increase of the trade of the port, 

 which is stated by the Collector of Customs 

 (vide his letter, page 99) to have steadily 

 augmented ''for several years past at the rate 

 of 20 per cent, per annum," and which bids 

 fair to show a greater proportional increase for 

 the future, from the desire evinced by the com- 

 missariat authorities to take advantage of the 

 Indus route, in providing European necessaries 

 to the troops in the Upper Provinces of the 

 Punjaub.
