LOSS OF THE HUNGARIAN.

TO THE EDITOR OF ' THE DAILY TIMES,

SIR,—In reporting the loss of the Hungarian in your
impression of this date,.you state that five steamers of
the line have now been lost,which is altogether erroneous.
The first steamer' lost was the Canadian, which, on a
calm clear evening; in .the summer of 1857, was run
ashore close under a lighthouse, about fifty miles helow
QuebeC,'through the gross carelessness of- the pilot, for
which the pilot's license was withdrawn for life. All the
passengers and nearly all the cargo was saved.
The second steamer lost was the Indian, in November
last, in a dense fog on the coast of Nova Scotia, through
defective and erroneous soundings on the chart.e. The
captain was honourably acquittelby the Board of Trade:
The third and last loss was that of the unfortunate'
steamer now referred to.

Hoping you will, in justice give publicity to this COT-
rection. of .an error into which . you must have been
inadvertently led,—We are, sir, &c.,

RECKLESS FIRE INSURING IN CANADA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES

; STR,—For the information of any,, of your readers
who may hold stock in certain Fire Insurance Coin-1
panics, I requeSt the favour of occupying a little of yutir
valuable space.
Preiious to May last the British Fire (Aces represented
in Canada, were associated together for the 'purpose 'of
protecting their. mutual interests, and of underwriting
at a Seale of prices sufficiently remunerative to the
companies concerned, and commensurate with the great
risk incurred.
The citizens of Montreal on the comp,letio,a gf their
very efficient water works, seeius the risk thereby oonsi-
derablv lessened, latoraWr lop,ked for a reduction from
the old rate,' hot winch request this associated board
for two years sternly refused; whereupon a few influ-
ential merchants got an Act passed authorising the
formation of the " Metropolitan Fire Insurance -Com-
pany of Montreal," with a view of creating an oppekition
to this monopoly.
Some commercial houses in Montreal induced a few
American offices totunbp,r.k in anadian business, whok,
althcaigh onderwritii* at a 10,wvr scale. of p,ricleft than
their British compeers, made little headway, as Canadians ,
nnt little faith in such instZtgtja s,
On; the 'lSt trayl4st, the rate at length was reduced
24 per cent., and with which reduction the public were:
fully satisfied ; but to render the business so unprofitable
that American offices would leave the field the British
offices have.further seduced the rate 20 per eeAtt This
foolish throwing: away of premium cannot have the
desired effect‘. Aritertean* c..4m,p,anies manage their
hows at ottiwth the cost of, their e4truvAgaut
ne,ighbotirs, ereby enabling thern soceessfully
compete with t env; •
I eartnot bqt 0;4 thw.fort, that the public opinion
of tigiTl.4, as well as of Canada, would condemn such;
coarse of procedure.—l am, sir,- &c.,

. THE EDITOR' OF THE DAILY TIMES.
SIR,—I find so miler differkce of opinion`exists
with respect to the meaning and effect of Article 3 of
the French Treaty, and so much objection is made to it
by shipowners, that, having carefully considered the
question, I venture to suggest whAt appars to me to be
its true import,
navigationte enteredpurport
srto
fwhich
between l eeriVs Zilvuneltiiin
ry°andof France, the
is contained in the following article :—‘ Article 2
Goods, wares, and merchandise, which can or may be
legally imported into the ports of the United Icingtlonr
from the ports of France, if so imparted iA Vreneh
vessels, shall be subject to no higher duties than if
imported in •British yeas.* And reciprocally, goods,
wares, and, nierc.handisc which can or may be legally
imp,orted into the ports of France from the ports of
the United Kingdom, if so imported in British vessels,
shall be'subjeet to no higher duties than if imported in
French vessels, The produce of Asia, Africa,...and
Ameriei not being allowed tobe imported from the.
said countries, nor from any other, in French, v.e.ssels,
nor from France in French, Aritish or.a,ny other vessels,
_
into the- ports of tt INted itingdoin far home eon-
, ,
sunVos, I.tit °!3/44Y- . WAralanosAng and re-exportation."
r'estrtctioos are placed upon their import into
France from this country. This convention was signed
on the 20th January, 1826, and on the Bth February of
the awe year the King of France issued an ordinance
in accordance therewith, and containing the. collowing
article':--=-" Article 3—The products, of 414ra,'Africa, auk
America imported from anx eouniry whatever in 'British
vessels; of. ‘hipped On hoard any French or other vessels
in a Part of the British dominions in Europe, shall not,
from the sth April next, be admitted in France for
consumption in our kingdom, but ,only for deposit and
re-exportation."
At this period, then, the trade of both conntriies was
on an equal footing, whatever. goo.* could fare shipped
from one countryto'the other conk he shipped on equal
erns vessels, o€• either country, neither country
coulcl,b,y any possibility impose a differential duty in
favour of.tliei own ships, as against the shipping of the
other ()gantry ; but there were certain articles which
could not be imported into either country from the other,
excepting for re-exportation. -
In 1849 we abrogated all restrictive planes in our
Navigation Laws, and consequent this prodtice,.which
before could not he inAncrted into this country from
France, became. a legal import, though the same produce
continued to be excluded from entering France from our
ports ; but the present Emperor, by an ordinance dated
the 10th May, 18.54, decreed as follows :—" The
.provi-
sions contained in article 3 of the ordinanQa
February, 1826, are, and rernaibp abrogated." And
from, that time all produce lA4s, gone from this country
WO France on equal terms, whether in French or
ships, and the Emperor has no power whatever
to place any differential duties in favour of his own
shipping. He may again prohibit the importation o
these articles ; but if he admits them at all to, be.
indirectly imported from this cotintrx, he caun.ot make
any difference in favour of bis, own slipping.
Mons. Eouheral letter to, the Emperor, and a notice
that has rarely appeared in the Iffonitow, placing a duty
of af. pAr. 10Q kilogrammes on cotton imported indirectly
into Prance in French ships, and IW. per 100 kilogrammes
if in foreign ships, have, by some parties, been con-
sidered to favour a different construction ; but a
moment's consideration will show that this is, ,turf the
case. By the same notice, it is said, maw; imported
from countries out of Europe is 0, to exempt from' duty,
if imported in French 413,ips. Now, we know that
cotton iiripor,lo from, America, although it is not
so, aiatei, witil he equally exempt from duty if
brought in American vessels, because the Americans
have a treaty, placing their ships on equal
terms with the French vessels iu the direct trade
between America and France; and is it nut clear, there-
fore, as we have a similar treaty ob, regard to our
direct trade, although nod „expressed in so many
words, yet that in the, trade from this country to France.,
our ships will bp counted as French ships.
What, then, is the meaning of Article i in the treaty ?
Simply this, and no more than this;, that, as this is a
treaty of commerce ,betiikeen the two, nations; it explains
that the Emperor, VA tie
the duties men,tionexi In the
ArticlesA and 2 of Ole treaty, shall, not be considered to
have abandoned his right to place ditierential duties on
these goptli, if imported:into, anee in ships which are
neither French net

f anyone, theii, has a right to complain of this article
it is eleatly not the shipowner, for any differential duty
which the Emperor may think proper to impose in faiour
of his own ships, must be equally a protection in favour
of ours.

The course, then, which, it appears to me, the ship-
owners should take in this question is, to give their best
assistance to the passing of the treaty, and the to peti-
tion our own Government to use their best endeavours
to obtain from France some relaxation M her navigation
laws, similar to that which they have been so fortunate
as to gr4care in, her commercial code. By OitnAdAy
negotiations, I feel sure, such may and will lab o.btaiiked„
but never if attempted in a spirit of retaliation,. t am,

SUDDEN , DEATH OF MIUTART KNIOHT.-011
Thursday last Captain. G,eorge 14f.Iggan, a Military
Knight of Windsor,. aged 7( years, was returning, to
Windsor aisile, having made a call in the town of
Windsor, when he suddenly fell down, KO a iew
moments ex_pired.
DEAT7, CONDEMNATION.—The 00Hrt Or Assiz:es of
the Lot .three days ago, tried a, woman named Moles, of
Mazan, and tier e,04 Jean, who, is twenty-seven years of
age, for the atten'tp%ed murder of her husband and his
father. Fu,r many years the woman entertained a
violent hatred of her husband, and she succeeded in
inspiring her son with a similar sentiment. The two
frequently threatened to put the man to death, and
repeatedly ill-treated him in a brutal way, on one occasion
tossing him out of the window. On the 22nd December
last a neighbour heard the man cry out "Murder, help'"
and on entering the house he found him struggling des-
perately with his wife and son. He resound
an, and
,the man then stated that the two had thrown him down,
and_had attempted to strangle him with a rope ;•-but that
not succeeding in consequence of his resistance, one of
them, he could not- say which, had endeavoured to cut
his throat, but fortunately the knife had eneountered-
th,e rope, and did no harm. If the neighbour had not
entered at the moment there is no doubt the- man would
have been killed.. The jury declared both the accused
guilty, but with extenuating circumstances. The court
condemned the woman to death, and the young •nlan to
hard laboui for life.

and. interest
in the pastoral relation formed a very Pleasing inter-
course between minister and people. I have received. i

Mi. Topham's bill of fare shows with What energy and zeal

to this- Spring Meeting ; for it is not only on a more extended
scale than heretofore, but in the Tyro Stakes and Wynnstay
Cup introduces two new features. whieh cannot fail to prove
interesting. In the list for the first day, Tuesday (to.„day),
there are eight items. The Spring Cup possesses tbis yea,
more than usual interest, having an excellent and numerous
entry, no fewer than thirty-eight horses being mined for it.
The weights range from Master Bagot. 6 yrs, 8,3 t 71b. to RJait
Brooke, 3 yrs, 4st 81b, or nearly lour stone. Oh' Wedneiday
there will be no lack of excitement, the Grand Steeple Chase
being fixed for that day ; and no matter to what extent cross-
country racing may have elsewhere degenerated; it cannot be
questioned that the ~ National " continues to command the
most distinguished patronage, and must still be considered as
the most important feature of the Spring meeting.

THE COUNTESS GiAlOrLtr.—We regret to say that
for the last two days the Countess Granville has been in
a most precarious state of health, at her temporary resi-
dence at Brighton. On Friday morning a, decided

and her dissolution hourly expected, Earl Granville is
in constant attendance at the bedside of his beloved
wife, which was the cause of his absence from his place
in tbn rienese of Lords during the past week.
