TOTAL LOSS OVA SHIP EY FIRE.

The following are copes of the letters from Lloyd's agents re.
calved this morning

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 30.—The Duke of Argyle, Bristow, arrived off
this port, reports that on the 26th inst. at 11 P.M., in lat. 47.28,
long 16.12, discovered a light on the larboard bow. At llh. 30m.
made it out to be a ship on fire, up foresail, and stood towards it. At
midnight hove to with head to the southward about mile and a half
to windward of the wreck, showing lanterns fore and aft, and burn-
ing blue lights every quarter of an hour ; at 3 a.m. passed under the
lee of the ship on fire, at about two cables' length distance, but saw
nothing but the figure head standing, apparently a bust; she was
lying head to wind and burnt to the water's edge ; at daylight bore
away under easy sail in hopes of falling in with the boats, if any
had left her ; at 5 15 a.m. she entirely disappeared.

RUMOURED LOSS of the APOLLO.
The following is the copy of a letter received at the Admiralty
n Monday :

" Lloyd's, 30th Tune, 1845.

" Sir,—l have much pleasure In communicating to you, for the
information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the
Sandwich, Clunn, which arrived in the river this afternoon, from
St. John's, Newfoundland, sailed thence 7th instant, at six P.M.,
and the master reports that he had not heard of the loss of the
Apollo until he reached the office of Messrs. Robinson and
Brooking.

" I annex a copy of a statement received from those gentlemen.
" I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) " W. DOBSON.

" Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, R.N., Admiralty.
" Captain William Clunn, of the brig Sandwich, arrived in the
river this afternoon, has stated to Messrs. Robinson and Brooking
that he sailed from St. John's, Newfoundland, on the evening of
the 7th instant, six P.m., and that he heard no report of the loss of
the Apollo there, nor until he reached the office of Messrs. Robin-
son and Brooking.

Parties who are called upon in this country to aid such of
the unfortunate inhabitants of Quebec as have been deprived
of their homes by the dreadful conflagration, must not sup-
pose but that the citizens whose property escaped the ravages
of the fire had used all proper exertions to relieve the suf-
ferers. Besides subscribing a large amount, lodgings, tents,
provisions, &c., had been furnished, a guard put over the
property found, and other judicious arrangements made; and
it is sincerely to be hoped that there will be no backward-
ness here. Many of the leading mercantile firms had sub-
scribed most liberally at Quebec, and the Bank of British
North America gave 2501.
An important arrival of emigrants of the better class is
noticed in letters from Montreal—viz., 247 English, all from
the counties of Devon and Cornwall, and fine healthy-looking
agriculturists, all persons of small capital, and described as
being just the sort of men to do well in Canada. They were
all bound for Upper Canada, and it was believed that it was
their intention to settle in the neighbourhood of Coburg.
We are sorry to learn by the last accounts from New-
foundland, that the seal fishery this spring has been more
disastrous than almost any ever remembered on the coasts of
that island, so far as the catch had been hitherto reported;
and a general gloom pervaded the trade of the community,
looking at the vast amount of wealth which had been em-
barked in the speculation, and the limited returns which so
far had been made for it.

The public Funded Securities have been without alteration
to-day, Consols for the opening having realised 98'78 to 99,
but the premium on Exchequer-bills has further declined to
555. and 525. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 102 to 1021/8, and the Three per Cents. 991/8
to 994. Bank Stock has been at about yesterday's value.
The Foreign Bonds are heavy. The value of Spanish Five
per Cents. have been down to 271,4 %; and of the Three per
Cents. to 39% and 39. The interest on the home Three per
Cents. is to be payable in London as well as at Paris and
Madrid. Portuguese Old Stock has been at 84. Mexican
Bonds have been steady at 36% 14. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 6.214 N.
For Railway Shares there is more inquiry, and prices have
rather improved in many instances. Brighton, South-
Eastern, Croydon, &c., are quoted higher. London and
York are lower.

TUB NORTHUMBERLAND HuNT.—SALE Or Fox-
nouNes.—On Monday, the celebrated pack of fox-hounds, the pro-
perty of Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., which have run for many years
in the a Northumberland, were sold by auction by Messrs.
Tattersallcounty
atnyd Sons, Hyde Park.corner, at which there was a large
attendance of gentlemen well known in the sporting world. There
were 42 couples, which were divided into nine lots, of five, five-
and.s.half, and six couples each. The first lot (five couples), for
which there were several bidders, was bought by Mr. Ives for 100
guineas ; lot 6 (six couples), and 7 (51 couples), were sold to Mr.
Latouche, :of Kildare, for 100 guineas and 115 guineas. The pro-
perty, after much competition, was disposed of for the sum of
7131. 16s. There were also six bitches, with whelps, put up for
sale. Prejudice, with four whelps, went for 21 guineas; and the
whole fetched 531. 7s.

As the Saumon steamer was leaving Marseilles for
Arles last week, cries of distress arose, without the crew being
able to make out from whence they proceeded. Tbey at last die_
covered a lady and gentleman clinging to the chains in great fear.
It appeared that these persons had come late, and got a waterman
to place them on a sort of landing close to which the vessel was to
pass, and from which they intended stepping on board. The ves-
sel passing a little wide they caught boldly at what was within
their reach, and not being able to get farther cried out for aid.
They were got safely on board, after having been for a quarter of
an hour in their perilous position.

DEATH BT BATHING IN THE THAMEL—Monday
morning, shortly before seven o'clock, Mr. James Willingham
19 years of age, son of Captain Willingham, belonging to thee brig
Effingham, lying in the pool, jumped from the vessel into the
river, and it is supposed he must have struck his head either
against the side of the ship or a hawser of another vessel, as he
never afterwards rose. The body was taken by the tbde under the
tiers of shipping.

ing, a foot-race of 140 yards, between Franks and

HOUSE OF LOti.DS.

PROTEST AGAINST THE LANDLORDS AND

TENANTS' BILL.

DISSENTIENT-

1. Because Whilst we are most solicitous to support
any measure which pr 'duct's, or which has any tendency
to produce, an improvement in the condition of the oc-
cupying tenantry of Ireland, we are unable to discover
in the provision.; of the present Bill any enactment which
will have that beneficial effect.

2. Because we consider the improvement of agricul-
ture and the extension of a demand for labour in Ire-
land, to depend very mainly upon the mutual good
understanding and co-operation between landlord and
tenant, and the contribution of the capital of the one
class in aid of the industry of the other, which the pro-
visions of this Bill seem calculated to check and Erni.,
rather than to increase and to encourage.
3. Because of the intervention of a uovernment officer,
called in, not as a guide and adviser, by two parties
anxious to combine in the execution of a definite system
of well-considered imprcvement, but interposing at the
regoo,:i of ono party only, and possibly //gains the con•
sent of the other, appears to us manifestly unjust in prin-
ciple, and likely to lead to dissensions and jealousies,
where it is most important that goodwill and cordiality
should permanently exist.
4. Because we consider the compulsory introduction
of new and varied obligations between parties who have
already entered into contracts, and this without a saving
of those existing contracts, gives to this Bill an ex post
Jack operation, contrary to justice and to the first prin
ciples on which sound legislation should proceed ; prin-
ciples which have hitherto been regarded by Parliament
as sacred and inviolable.

5. Because the introduction of a measure like the
present seems peculiarly rash, dangerous, and inoppor-
tune, at a time when it appears from the report of the
commissioners that "in spite of many embarrassing and
counteracting circumstances, in almost every part of
Ireland, unequivocal symptoms of improvement con-
tinually present themselves to the view, and when there
exists a very general and increasing spirit and desire for
the prosecution of improvements from which the most
beneficial results may fairly be expected."
6. Because a facility of erecting new buildings on
small farms, without taking any adequate security for the
future and permanent appropriation of those buildings to
those uses only which may be conducive to the real in
terests of the tenant as well as of the landlord, and to
tho improvement and good cultivation of the land, can
hardly fail to promote the increase of a pauper popu
lation, lowering the rate of wages, augmenting the price
of food, adding ultimately to the competition ior leases,
and thus aggravating incalculably many of the most
serious 'evils incident to the condition of the Irish
peasantry.
7. Because a provision to encoevage the levelling of
existing fences is not only inapplicable to the greate^
part of Ireland, but, as being unaccompanied by clauses
to provide for the erection of new fences oe a permanent
or improved character, or indeed of any fences at ail,
seems to us most irrational and absurd.
8. Because even if it is assumed that the principle of
the Bill is as wise and just as, for the reasons stated, it
appears to us indefensible and impolitic, it is manifest
that the machinery provided in this Bill by the estab-
lishment of a single officer of the Government in
Dublin, acting through Assistant Commissioners, nomi-
nated by himself, is wholly inadequate to the per-
formance of duties extending over the whole surface of a
great country.
9. Because the enactment of an ill-considered measure,
like the present, may raise serious obstacles in the way
of a wiser system of legislative interference, to which
we should feel disposed to give our most favourable
consideration ; a system which, by affording guidance
and instruction, where skill and science are required ; by
facilitating the application of capital where capital is
needed and is likely to be profitably applied ; by en-
couraging co-operation not only between landlord and
tenant, -but between parties interested in adjacent
-estates; by securing to the tenant the strict and accurate
performance of all covenants entered into with him, and
a full return for all improvements which he has
effected with the landlord's approval ; by securing
to the landlord the maintenance of all improvements to
which he may be called on to contribute, shall increase
the amount of agricultural produce, shall augment the
national wealth, shall stimulate and render more per-
manent the demand for labour, and thus, without the
violation of any principle, shall facilitate the discharge
of the duties, whilst maintaining the rights of property,
and shall thus improve the condition of all classes of her
Majesty's Irish subjects.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—The Imperial
ukase relative to the dress of the Jews is stated in an account from
the Russian frontiers to have already produced some deplorable
effects. These were, indeed, not intended by the Emperor, but
were almost the inevitable consequence of a measure which so tud.
denly and violently interferes with the most cherished habits of a
people. In Bordiezew, a considerable commercial town in
Nolhynia, where, as in many towns of southern Russia, the Jews
form the majority of the inhabitants, some young Jews appeared in
the synagogue without long locks of hair; the Chassidim, a most
fanatical religious sect, prevailing chiefly in. Russia and Poland, re.
ambling in some respects the Shakers of North America, incensed
at this violation of a sacred custom, fell furiously on the blasphe.
mous, as they called them, threatening to tear them to pieces.
All their representations, that they had only obeyed
the commands of the Emperor, were unavailing. The
Chassidim exclaimed that the Emperor could not command
them in a religious manner; that he might be the
god of the JAWallilla (a) the Jews call the Russians, as properly
the Greeks), but he was not theirs that they should lather suffer
themselves to be stayed alive than to submit to such wicked or-
ders. A dreadful tumult occurred, and two of the young men are
said to have expired under the ill treatment of the Chassidim. A
strict investigation is set on foot by the Governor, and we are as-
sured that fifteen of the Chassidim have already been sent to Sibe-
ria. What has grieved these unhappy fanatics worse than all the
rest is, that before setting out on their melancholy journey, they
had to change their national dress for that usually worn by the
exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long
ocks being, of course, the first sacrifice.
