Shipping. 
There have been four vessels built during the year, the Peri, 
Raven, Emu Packet, and Ranger, the united burthen being 379 
tons; in 1845 there were three built, amounting to 146 tons. 
No vessels are returned for 1846 as employed in the fisheries, 
whilst for 1845 there were two of 307 tons, and the fisheries 
were valued at £4,600. The number of vessels registered at 
this port has also decreased, amounting now to 39, tonnage, 
2,837 ; and in 1845 there were 42 vessels, tonnage, 3,043. It 
will be seen, however, from the following return, that the British 
and inter-colonial trade has considerably increased, both the 
arrivals and departures far exceeding those of 1845, the year of 
unparalleled depression.
