SLACKNESS OF THE SHIPPING TBALB. The atackaeea in, the shipping trade to aothseabie at present in this colony is only a reflection of the general state of affaire in Enrspean shipping circles. One German.shipping.firm have bees comSiUed by the low freight obtainable to y np 19 of their vessels, and they are all at present in dock at Hamburg, while a large London house .are about to put five of their smaller steamers ont of commission. The principal cause is the excess of tonnage; there is too much tonnage for the present condition of affaire.
