The Foreign Arrivals she u largo exces, but it is cutirely due to the increased activity of the junk trade (treated separately), the foreign trade having diminished by 215 vessels and 78,576 tona. The Grand Total of all Foreign and Native Arrivals shews itself in a singular manner. There is an increase of 4,867 vessels, but a decrease of 60,713 tons, onused by the addition of a large number of native junks visiting the Colony and the subtraction of Europess vessels of larger tunge. It is evident from these comparisons that, although there an increase of 29 British ships and 17,477 tons of cargoes from Great Britain, trade under the British flag would appear on the whole to have diounisiest.
