As matters stand, however, it appears that the approaches to London are superior to those of most of the Continental ports.. From the Nore to Gravesend the depth available low water of spring tides is 24 ft. to 26 , which is being increased by dredging 30 ft. At Hamburg the low watey channel is 26 ft. deep, but the tide rises only 7 ft., as against 18 ft. to 20 ft., in the Thames At Antwerp the depth at low water is said in the report to be 20 ft. to 23 ft., the rise of tide being là ft. At Liver | pool'the low-water channel is 28 ft. deop. and the rise of the tide 27 ft. Tho Man- chester Ship Canal will soon have a depth of 28 ft. throughout. The Committee report in favour of docks as opposed to river wharves, which they claims cannot woll be used when the tide vurica by were than 13ft. to lift. At Antwerp the rise is foft., but it is stated that the additional Accommodation needed there is to bo provided by docks. The view that river wharves are impracticable with tidal
