RETURNS Statement showing the Number and Tonnage of Vessels resorting to CALCUTTA, Madras, and BOMBAY, and also Value of the Imports into, and Exports from, the three Presidencies; for the Years 1883-4, and 1843-4. NOTE. The small country craft carrying the coasting trade, which are separately returned in the Bombay Official statements and have not been included in the above abstract, are apparently entered in the Madras returns, which will account for the disproportionately large tonnage of that Presidency. In estimating the gross trade of Calcutta-the amount of its imports and exports together, an allowance of about 7 per cent. in 1833-4, and above 3 per cent. in 1843-4, should be made for imports re-exported.
