TEMPERANCE.

Gentlemen, you would probably be surpifred I did not s:ter to temperance, a subject which appears to me of the first impo. ance. I put it to you whether, if all our officeju, saltar”, and firemen we e abstalocrt, "we should not hear a great deal less of so-called "ena.a of judgment," of miscalculation of distances, and of colour- biladecar ? My own opinion is, that the use of strong dilak is an les atent clement in a great many accidents at se, by bringing about collisions and camaliles of every description; and it behaves owners for their own interests. and for the benefit of humanity, to give a decided preference to me who have a clear record for sebilaly; and in carylog out this pilociple concord and harmony would selga on every therefore leave a subject which from his gravO ship.

The prejudice against these large vessels--not alone confined to the owners of smaller ones-bas now been much modified, and, in my opinler, these boge steamers have came to stay; for wherever and concentration of traffic there will be fauna there is depth of water, barbour accommodation

Un fortunately the year proved one of great dis- appointment to the trade throughout the world, and prices, which advanced antll the end of HALF-MILE FLAT RACE (Handicap), open to April, and declled steadily at that I'm at

The enforced stoppage of the refinery during the last thres moniks and a bait of the year of course told heavily against us, as a certain amount of 1anging expenses for salaries, wages, &c, must be incurred while the works are silent. I may mention that the greater part of the stock of rebord sugar on hand when the works were stopped to September has since been sold, and the refinery started working again We understand that match over a miles at the end of last month.
