DEATH OP HE DUNOAN DUNBAR THE SHIP-
OWNEIL-(THIS DAY )

We regret to =wanes the death of Mr. Duncan ti
Dunbar, the eminent shipowner, which Great took pleas
this morning in a very sadden mincer, at his rename* Par- •
cheater-terrace, Paddington. Shortly after 8 o'clock he was
preparing to leave home for the City ore his way to the dt.
ollice of the firm in Limehonse, and his servant was assist lit
ing him in patting on some article of clothing, when be and is,
' denly fell forward in a kind of fit and expired. The last Lk
few days he has complained of a cold in his cheat, Mat it jir
did not detain him from business, and he was at the la '
Jerusalem Callerhome as late as 4 o'clock ratan* II!
afternoon, tranmeting his affairs as usual. As may be
known, Mr. Dunbar was the largest shipowner in this
constry, and has died worth, it is reported, upwards of a jj
million and a half. He was in his 58th year, and
unmarried. The melancholy nature of his death
caused quite a sensation in the City this mon- *
ing. He was deputy chairman of the Ea* and iat.
West India Dock Company, deputy chairman of Lloyd's si.
Registry, chairman of the Local Marine Board of the tk
Port of London, and a director of the Marine la al
-
sursoce, Chartered Bank of Australia, Imperial lamanume, *
General Shipowners' Society, and other companies. He was tt
• patron of the fine arta, and had a fine oollection of paint at
-
imp. He lately added a superior gallery to his mansion in !I
Pombeeter-terrace. The bulk of his property, it is stated, iz
will pus to his sisters and nieces.

The CsAnnuw, in moving their adoption, accounted for ffa

accideot on the Brighton line in August last, which reduced N.
the excursion tnmc for the rest of the mews ; and, N.
lastly, the competition of the London,Chatbam, and Dover IL
use. At Dover, the board were compelled to lower the farm
to the standard of the competing company; and this created • ga
necessity for • general reduction on other parts of the es,
bee. At first he felt some sureaelnees at this, but the re- Oa
suit had been satisfactory. They hid thus prevented et.
traffic from leaving the hoe they had prevented comps- N
tition except at points of ackal contact between the two
lines ; and they bed secured • general increase in the se

of • want all venicity. He was root by loud and perti- ga
madams iatermption in spite of which he persisted St.
for some time in defending himself. On proceeding to St.
s of the report, he expremed his surprise that U.

the increased receipts. He denied that the company bad ga
benefited by the recent reduction of fares. They had, he ea
mid, in the lad year carried an miornious number of pas-
sengers to Dover sod hack for 3e. lid. The smallness of fit.
the return from exeursion traffic WAS the more remarkable 84. u.
because the last mown was roe of the finest season ever re`,
knownfor such traffic, far superior to that of 1860. (Hear.)
Mr. BrAsien believed that the main thing whioh had e
affected the line injuriously was the competition with the N.
London, Chatham, and Dover line. He complained of the t•
