Tiinj send their best regards to you, Mrs Seddon aad family, Kindly permit mo also t( return my heartfelt gratitude for tho almosi unprecedented kindness and humane treat

uient to my countrymen m distress. Pleaso accept my best wishes for a pleasant voyago to England, and a, safe return to the country of your adoption. Depression in the British shipping trade continues (says a. London .despatch to tho Now York Tribune), and freights which commenced to fall more than a year ago, are now so low as to be almost improvable. Prices for building new steamers havo fallen considerably, and in many instances are fully 20 per cent, under the highest figures obtained in 1900. Second-hand vessels have depreciated to a greatot extent, and the' supply of now and second-hand steamers is much in excess of demand. A i great number of old .liners and merohaut steamers have been sold to British and Continental buyers to lie broken up. and mu:iy thousands of tons wilt probably be disposed of before, long for the same purpose. Mr Waddell, an American engineer, has contracted to build a. canti-lever bridgo over the Canso Strait, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, for the .suni of £1,000,000. This is interpreted as foreshadowing, (lie, establishment. of a lino of fast stoiraiers bctweon Canada, and Ireland. Canso Strait is between Nova Scotia and Caps Breton Island; it is a branch of the month, ol the St, Lawrence. With fast trains on- the Canadian railways it has been suggested that'a line of steamships between Ireland and Canada would offer a faster passage than the present New York lines. Tho Huddart-Parker Company's s.s. Wentr.llia, from Sydney, via Cook Strait, ar. rives at Duncdin this morning. She leaves Port Chalmers to-morrow afternoon for. Melbourne, via tlic Bluff ami Hobart. •
