Vol. IX. 



British are beaten by the Belgians, for M. 

 Dieteric, in liis statistical tables, makes the 

 consumption in Belgium, seven pounds per 

 head. He states the consumption in France, 

 as being one and one-tenth pounds per head, 

 and that in the German League, at two and 

 a third pounds per head. 



In 1843, tliere were in England, 855 ma- 

 rine steamers, with a tonnage of 109,288 

 tons; in France, 107, with a tonnage of 

 10,183. 



By Lloyd's returns, it appears that the 

 annual loss to the country by shipwreck, is 

 610 shii>s, £2,000,000 of property, and 1,500 

 lives. 



The taxes which have been repealed since 

 — in the settlement after the war — 1819, 

 maybe stated in round numbers at £16,000, 

 000, or £17,000,000 per annum; but the re- 

 maining taxes, in consequence of the in- 

 crease of population and the hitherto pros- 

 perous state of the country, produce nearly 

 as great an amount as was formerly raised, 

 with the addition of those which have been 

 repealed. — National Intelligencer.
