TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 31st December (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-Owing to the holidays busines has ruled very quiet during the pst fortnight. Cargo for London has not been plentiful, and the tonnage provided has been quite sufficient for the wants of shippers. Rumours of the "outsider" for New York are well founded, and we understand that the steamer Morten will come in here about the end of next week; we cannot say at present what support she is likely to get Coasting-Has not improved, and several of our local liners are taking advantage of the dullness to effect their annual overhaul. Bates from, Nagasaki to this have suffered a further decline, and we believe that as low as fifty-five cents has been accepted. For New York vid Cape.-Cargo is coming forward very slowly and in small parcels, and the Benjamin Sewall. although being the only sailer, is experiencing a little difficulty in obtaining positive engagements; we doubt, therefore, if another Vessel is taken up.
