SHIPPING TRADE.A few days ago we published an article from an English contemporary on Marine Insurance, and in the same paper we quoted from A.J.Maguire\u2019s circular a statement with reference to ship property.Now we have our attention directed to the danger of deck loads.These three circumstances compel especial attention, and we therefore purpose to make a few remarks upon them.It was stated at a recent meeting of second-class ship assurance associations in England that thirty vessels carrying deck loads, and belonging to the North of England, had been lost on their voyages from Quebec to the United Kingdom last (all, and that fifty per cent, of the large fleet which left the St.Lawrence in the fall of the year, timber laden, for England, were either lost or missing.It was computed that the actual loss to the North of England in ships\u2019 cargoes this winter, through the abandonment of large vesssels laden with timber from America in the Atlantic, was between £200,000 and £300,000.and the larger proportion of the loss, with the fearful sacrifice of life which ensued, was owing to vessels carrying deck cargoes.These are very alarming statements, and must be matter for serious reflection to men engaged in the timber trade on this side of the Atlantic as well as to underwriters in England ; and the only hope we have is that good may come out of evil by causing merchants to be less greedy, and insurance companies to be more careful as to the risks undertaken In the article to which we have made reference it was shown that because great profits had bera made by some of the leading companies, men without counting the cost 'rushed into marine msnr-aace, and in order to get business undertook to insure vessels at a low rate.Of course this meant only indiffèrent security, and when the experience of the past year\u2019s storms, resulting in unparalelled loss of life and property at sea, must hare shown to those men that they have done wrong by insuring vessels under any cir sums nance*\u2014no matter what quanti ty of .cargo might be stowed into thp holds or upon the decks, and almost regardless of the sea-worthmess of the ships.But even the disasters that have already befallen ships of this class do not put an end to the reckless system that certain companies have adopted.The result of present losses and reckless underwriting will not appear for a year or .two yet, because losses must be paid for, and in order to keep the societies from bankruptcy\u2014üt order that they meet the demands made upon them, they will have to take a large quantity of premium at any rate, so that we may expect vessels cheaply insured beyond their valuo.Now if we look at the quality of some of the ships engaged in the timber trade it is really wonderful that they find any underwriters who are willing to insure * them on any terms, for some of them would not hold together and float with any other cargo.With a load of timber however, they are pretty certain, if the weather be at all favourable, to make the passage from the St.Lawrence to a port of discharge, but in most instances sailors can tell at what expense of pump labour these passages are performed.And it is o& such vessels as these that deck loads are usually carried, for owners who are unscrupulous enough to send men to sea in fpeh mantraps are generally those who wish make most by each voyage, and if they Cal?insure so much the better.Again we Rr'C told of vessels laden with grain, but thé cargo by no means properly stowed.Thé wheat is shot into the hold from elevators, and left to settle as it may, there being neither bulk heads nor stowing planks to kaep it from shifting.In a storm, when the ship lists over to leeward the inevitable result of shifting cargo takes place, and then and not till then is an attempt made to trim it by a too scanty crew, and .the chances are that they are unsuccessful, the lorn of their lives and the unfortunate ship reavlting together.It is not wonderful, therefore, that underwriters have had their attention drawn to this eondition of things, which, after all they are mainly to blame for, and to see them beginning to seek a remedy for the evils that have come upon them.No doubt \u2022wners will think it a hardship if they are not allowed to carry deck loads, and more especially as it is an acknowledged fact that during the past year there has existed a scarcity pf tonnage at almost all the leading freight markets in the world.Jreight rates have consequently risen, and so the value of ship property has be-eome snhacced.From all this we see an opportunity for Quebec extending ship building and profiting very extensively thereby.If the old and dangerous class of ships can be driven out of the market by the combined action of underwriters then there will be a greater demand for new and well built vessels.The cost to a Quebec builder may be somewhat increas ed compared to former prices, but every eweel will sell for a much .higher Ugore than formerly, and purchasers frill be able to pay the increased prioe; ¦ -JL.-S-J -\u2022 because of the advance in freight rates.Again, ship owners trading to this port would find it to be to their advantage to have thoroughly sea-worthy vessels, because, if the Board of Trade succeeds in their endeavour to induce a grain trade from the West to this port, only such ships will be *equal to the trade ; but, not only that, good vessels will be able to come to Quebec with cargoes of iron, salt and other commodités destined for Chicago and other Western ports, and take back grain or timber.By such on arrangement ships would be earning money coming out and going home, and, freights would pay better even at lower rates.Thus trade would be improved ship-owners would make more money, and sailors would not be hampered by deck-loads in getting about their work, nor worn out by three weeks pumping.As matters at present stand there is much room for improvement, and from the circular of Mt.Maguire it is evident that there is a ready market for every ship tnat may be built in Quebec during the coming year.Moouppm.London, Jan.8\u2014While Sir Charles Dilke was delivering an address on the subject of \u201c Land and People \u201d in Derby last evening, a mob attacked them and attempted to.disperse the audience.The adherents of Sir Cbas.resisted the assault and a severe struggle ensued.Several persons were injured and many limbs were broken.The lighting lasted more than au hour and great excitement prevailed throughout the town.At length order was restored, and the disturbance was brought to a close.A large crowd, armed with sticks and bludgeons, vnreorted the speaker and his wito to their hotel.Napoleon

causes much alarm among the adher cuts of the family.Extracts from the yearly circular* of prominent dealers say the cotton trade was not so good in 1873 as the previous year, and the rates obtaiued were not even remunerative.Spinners and manufacturers commence the new year well undei contract.Business for the present will be mainly influenced by the quantity of imports, and the present scarcity is likely to be tided over without any enhancement of prices.As to the sugar trade, it is stated the consumption of 1871 by Europe and the United States was increased in 1872 by about 2$ per cent.In regard to timber, the forests which are being cleared for supplies grow continually further from seaports, and an enhancement in prices is probable.London, Jan.8, midnight\u2014A bulletin from

day when Lord Dufferin set his foot within the boundaries of Canada he has has been growing iu the love and estimation of her people.His progress has been a triumphal one, for everywhere he is a cou-querer of hearts.In Quebec, n city for which he has evinced a warmed affection, he display-ed such sterling qualities aa won for him the esteem of all, and therefore when he took bis departure from us, there was little wonder that the hearts of the people should break out in enthusiastic demonstrations.But it was thought proper that there should be a fuller and more tangible expression to His Excellency of the appreciation by the people of his generous and unbounded hospitality^ and thus it was that the project of the ball which took place last night originated.When the citizens of Quebec presented their farewell address, they invited him to a ball, which invitation was accepted ; an honor conferred upon Quebec which deserves to be borne in mind, when we recollect that His Excellency declined similar invitations in other cities.When the people of Quebec combine to tender their respect to one whom they delight to honor they do nothing by halves.They go directly to work, and do the hon.our and reputation of a city which is always noted for itg hospitality and warm hearted friendliness, no discredit.Thty do not stop at little obstacles, and their efforts have ever been crowued by success.Thus it was that tho ball of last night, an event anticipated for months, was made a festival of such grandeur as Qne1>ec has, perhaps, never seen.Not even during the visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was such an entertainment given.There was no \u201cstill small voice of gratitude,\u201d but loud outspoken warmth of welcome, love and respect, which must have shewn to His Excellency and his amiable Countees that they live in the hearts of the people of Qncbec.THE ARRANQRMINTS made by thc Executive Committee were car-ried out with zeal and effect.Nothing was left undone to ensure success.THE DECORATIONS.The Music Hall, so well and affectionately known to «11 ball-goers, was given by Mr.Willis Russell, to whom the furnishing of the Ball had Iwen entrusted, to Mr.Bernard Leonard, for decoration.That the work was well done was evidenced by the expressions of satisfaction- from all present last night.The decorations were tastefully appropriate, and rich without display.The Dais, on the right hand side of the hall, entering, was covered with scarlet cloth, and upon it were placed luxurious easy chairs, in scarlet, for the reception of the guests of the evening and the ladies in waiting.On the gallery immediately over the dais was an escutcheon, on which were EMBLAZONED the armorial bearings of Lord Dufferin, with the motto, \u201cStraight Forward.\u201d Immediately opposite, the crest of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, an owl proper, with the motto, \u201cJs YtilW in a garter, was displayed on an escutcheon ; while two others, in front of the orchestra gallery, boro respectively the arms of the City and the Province of Quebec, draped with flags.Beneath the Dufferin arras, oyer the dais, wére the ROYAL ARMS, draped with banners and festooned with flowers, while garlands drooped from vases on pedestals on the balustrade, and were clustered around the supporting columns ; from the ceiling to the balustrade wreaths of flowers ami evergreens descended, and evergreen arches sprang from between statuettes placed at equal distances on the gallery * A flight of stops covered with scarlet cloth approached tho stage, which was covered with Turkey uarpitand seated with easy chain for the convenience of tire He recognized tbe utility of such exhibitions in its fullest sense.He took special interest in an exhibition of this kind, because he was something of a poultry fancier himself, though he had to yield the palm of proficiency to Lady Dufferin.He thanked thc Society for their invitation to be present on theoccasion.and closed with a few complimentary remarks.HiS Excellency and Countess of Dufferin, and his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, proceeded, conducted by His Worship the Mayor, thc Patrons and Committee to view thc poultry exhibited.The scrutiny was a pretty sharp one, their Excellencies shewing themselves to be connoisseurs.There was a large assemblage of prominent citizens, besides His Worship Mayor Garneau, Lieu#.-Col.Strange, Lieut.-Col.Casault, Col Rhodes, Col.Forsyth, Major Montizambert, Major Grey ; Messrs.John Gilmour, John Bursts!!, Robert

otlicrs.There was a large gathering of ladies.After spending about three quarters of an hour in the exhibition, His Excellency the Governor General and party left, after expressing their gratification with all they had seen.Thc Band of B Battery discoursed several fine selections during tho afternoon, and their presence added much to the general attraction.The exhibition wac a very gratifying success, far exceeding our utmost expectations.Too much credit cannot be given the Committee of Management, upon whom the entire work of organization devolved Messrs.Wm.Lee, Thos.Gale, A.Fraser,
