THE shipping statistics for 1876, issued by the Board of Trade, show that trade with the United Kingdom is still satis factorily increasing. During the year the aggregate tonnage of the vessels that entered the porta with cargoes was 21,019,368 tone, being an increase of nearly two million tons as compared with the preceding twelve months. The shipping entered from foreign countries amounted to 17,263,066 tons, and from British Possessions 3,766,300 tons, the former showing an increase of about a million and a half and the latter of about half a million. In the coasting trade the total tonnage of the vessels that Low Tak Yow, a bostman, was charged entered the porte was 28,853,778 tons, with obstruction at Peddar's Wharf.
