For the staple products of Newfoundland exported to Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Brazils, amounting, in the whole, to $1,657,100, that colony receives a considerable proportion of its payment in ready money, a large share of which finds its way to our country for beef and pork, pitch and tar, breadstuffs and tobacco. The balance of trade being so largely against Newfoundland, in its dealings with us, creates much difficulty in that colony, and forces it to deal more extensively with European countries which purchase its products, than it would do if the trade with us were more nearly upon an equality. In 1850 the number of vessels which cleared from the colony of Newfoundland was 1,102, of the burden of 129,832 tons.
