DAMAGE FROM Ben STOWAGE.—An important case
s been decided, on appeal, in the United States Circuit
urt, before Mr. Judge Nelson. It was sought to recover
T, Mr. freight of the brig Brodrene, for the conveyance of bundles
T. C. of nail-rod iron from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to New York.
a coal The bill of lading was dated 15th May, 1850, and con-
tained at the foot of it the exception " not accountable for
rust." On the discharge of the cargo a portion of the
was found injured by rust, and the consignees

laimed
these a deduction from the freight of the amount of damage to
;essary the iron, which was refused, and the libel was filed,
claiming the whole amount. The answer set up that the
damage was occasioned by bad stowage, and this being
proved, the judge confirmed the decision of the court, and
dismissed the libel, with costs.
THE MARCO PoLo.—Since the arrival of this justly-
celebrated ship from Australia, extensive alterations have
been made in every department where deficiencies existed.
The second cabin state-rooms which formerly had four
sleeping berths in each, now contain only two, although
the size of the state-room has not been diminished. The
third cabins have also been considerably enlarged and im-
proved. A new galley and cooking apparatus, calculated
for one thousand persons, has also been added. Messrs.
Baines and Co., the proprietors, have purchased a small
steam-ship, which will be taken out in the Marco Polo,
and be used for conveying the passengers and baggage
going out in their line of shipsfrom the anchorage at Mel-
bourne to the wharf, free of expense ; and should the
wind prove adverse when she is ready for sea (which will
be, at the latest, the first week in November), to have her
towed clear of the land, so that passengers will meet with

no detention either in the river or in the channel.
Loss OF THE AUSTRALIAN EMIGRANT-SHIP
BOURNEUF.—lntelligence has been received of the total
loss of the ship Bourneuf, of this port, on a detached reef
at the entrance of Torres Straits. The vessel sailed from
Hudson's Bay, Australia, on her return to this country,
on the 15th of July, and on the 3rd of August got on
shore on the reef, and became a total wreck. In attempt-
ing to leave the wreck, the captain (Bibby), his wife, her
sister, and five seamen were drowned, a sea having struck
the boat when half lowered, broke the davit, and crushed
the boat under the ship's counter. The rest of the crew
escaped. Six seamen and a young apprentice (Alfred
Brownless, a native of this town) are reported as badly
bruised. Everything was lost, and many of the crew
were naked. The saved, thirty-one in number, were
picked up by the Dutch ship Everdina Elizabeth, bound
from Sydney for Batavia. Afterwards six of the men
were drafted to the British barque Earl Grey, bound to
Bombay. The chief mate is coming here in the ship
Julius Caesar, bound to Havre. The Bourneuf was a new
ship, of about 1,400 tons burthen, and commenced her
first voyage from Liverpool, on the 26th May, 1852, for
Port Philip, with government emigrants.
STEAMER SUNK IN THE CLTDE.—On Tuesday, during
a dense fog, the steamer Eclipse left the Bridge Wharf,
Glasgow, at half-past ten o'clock, on her outward trip to
Dunoon. About the same time the steamer Merlin left
the lower part of the quay, and proceeded to take her berth
at the wharf for Rothesay. So dense was the fog that the
two vessels came into violent collision, bow to bow, when
opposite to Clyde-street, and it was immediately ascertained
that the Merlin's bow was stove in, and that the vessel
was fast filling and settling down by the head. She was
allowed to drop down the river a short distance from
where the concussion took place, and was got alongside of
a vessel lying at the South Quay, into which not only did
those on board escape, but a goodly number of portable
articles from the cabin and elsewhere were got out before
the Merlin sank, which she did in less than half-an-hour
from the time she was struck. She now lies in the har-
bour with about ten feet of her funnels above the surface.
The Eclipse sustained little damage, and was able to pro-
ceed on her trip.
WAGES OF SHIPWRIGHTS.—An "Old Sea Captain,"
so he calls himself, writes to us, complaining of the high
charges in a Shipwright's bill for repairs to his vessel.
He says it is a pity that our working classes cannot see
that these extreme prices are working ruin to themselves,
to their families, and to their country generally, and that,
unless an alteration take place in this respect, we shall
find, in a few years, that it will be attended with the
most serious consequences to our shipping and our com-
merce. "How," the writer asks, "can English ships
compete with foreigners, paying 9s. per day for carpenter's
wages, when the same can be done in Norway, Sweden,
and Denmark for two or three shillings ?" There is a
great deal of truth in this remark, and we think the pre-
sent turn-out for high wages amongst nearly every portion
of the working classes is very much to be regretted, as it
is to be apprehended it will recoil upon themselves eventu-
ally. Some of these demands for higher wages may be
reasonable. We come to this conclusion from their having
been acceded to by their employers, but we very much
fear that many of them are far otherwise. At the present
moment the manufacturing districts are suffering severely
from the number of mills that are closed : and it is not
only those engaged in the works who feel the consequence,
but the trade of the place generally.—Shipping and Mer-
cantile Gazette.
THE EAST INDIA. AND CHINA ASSOCIATION have pub-
lished their usual comparative statement of the number of
ships, both British and foreign, with their aggregate ton-
nage, entered inwards and cleared outwards with cargo,
from and to places within the limits of the East India
Company's charter, from the Ist of January to the 30th
of September, in the years 1852 and 1853. The return of
the vessels entered inwards shows an increase with regard
to the port of London of 55 vessels and 49,000 tonnage,
the difference between 580 vessels with 315,885 tonnage
in 1853, and 525 vessels with 266,885 tonnage in 1852.
Liverpool figures for an increase of 67 vessels and 54,124
tonnage, the arrivals in 1853 having been 203 vessels with
121,975 tonnage, against 136 vessels with 67,851 tonnage
(in 1852. The return for the Clyde furnishes the only in-

✓
stance of decrease, viz., to the extent of 3 vessels and
1,217 tonnage, the arrivals in 1852 having been 40 vessels
with 15,050 tonnage, while in 1853 they were 37 vessels
with 1.3,833 tonnage. The net increase established in
contrasting these returns is 127 vessels and 103,769 ton-
nage, the difference between 847 vessels with 461,096
tonnage in 1853 and 720 vessels with 357,327 tonnage in
1852. The principal arrivals were from Bombay, New
South Wales, Madras, Singapore, Penang, and Mauritius.
The return of clearances outwards shows in the case of
the port of London the large increase of 245 vessels and
96,812 tonnage, the difference between 723 vessels with
360,215 tonnage and 478 vessels with 263,403 tonnage.
Liverpool figures for an increase of 114 vessels and 39,135
tonnage, the departures in 1853 having been 397 vessels
with 213,789 tonnage, and in 1852, 283 vessels with
174,561 tonnage. The net increase is 452 vessels and
150,691 tonnage, the aggregate departures in 1853 having
been 1,275 vessels with 619,176 tonnage, against 823 ves-
sels with 468,485 tonnage in 1852. Nearly the whole of
this increased traffic has arisen from the extension of
trade with the Australian colonies, the departures under
the head of New South Wales, New Zealand, &c., alone
being 444 vessels with 145,686 tonnage.

TOTAL LOSS OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP,

INTELLIGENCE has been received of the foundering of
the well-known ship, Dalhousie, Captain Butterworth, in
the Channel, off Beachey Head, and the loss of every
soul on board, numbering nearly sixty persons, except one.
The Dalhousie was a fine Indian teak-built ship of
nearly 800 tons. She was launched at Moulmein in 1848,
and was a first-class vessel, in good and sound condition,
the property of Mr. Allan, of Leadenhall-street, and was
chartered as one of the " White Horse line of Australian
passenger ships," but went into the East India Docks to
load for Sydney, and on this occasion was devoted more
to the conveyance of freight than passengers. Her cargo
comprised every description of merchandise, estimated at
upwards of £lOO,OOO. Her master, Captain Butterworth,
is said to have been a most experienced navigator, and to
have passed many years in the owner's service.
She cleared from the docks at Blackwall on the 12th,
and proceeded down the river to Gravesend. Her pas-
sengers were all of the chief cabin class, and not more than
20 berths, in all, had been secured. Of these there went
on board at Gravesend Mr. and Mrs. Underwood and
three children, Mrs. Simpson and three children, and
Miss Radford; and the following expressed their inten-
tion of joining the ship at Plymouth, where she had to
touch :—Major Hawks, Captain R. Daniel, Mr. J. M.
Douie, of Liverpool, Mr. J. Baldwin, Miss Macintosh and
maid, of Liverpool, Mrs. Hill, and Miss A. M. Castles.
Mrs. Butterworth being anxious to accompany her hus-
band to Plymouth, where she would leave, she went on
board with three of her sons for the trip down Channel.
The eldest, however, on the ship reaching the Downs,
went ashore with the pilot at Deal, to return to school.
On the 18th the ship's departure from the Downs was
telegraphed to Lloyd's, and the next that was heard of
her was about five o'clock on the following afternoon,
when a boat reached Dover from the brig Mitchel Grove,
which was lying off in the roadstead, reporting the ap-
palling loss of the ship, and landing the only survivor,
Joseph Reed, a seaman, every other soul on board having
perished with the vessel.

The survivor, after describing the early part of the voyage,
states, that "at 10 p.m. on the 18th, Captain Butter-
worth took in the topgallant sails, and at midnight all
hands were called to reef topsails, the wind increasing
rapidly from the southward and eastward, and a strong
sea getting up. The light on Beachy-head was then in
sight, six or eight miles on the starboard beam, and at
1.30 a.m. the mainsail and jib were stowed. At 2 a.m. I
took the helm, from which position I had the means of
observing everything which took place subsequently ; and
at 4 a.m., the fore and maintopsails were double reefed,
and the mizentopsail stowed. The wind was then blowing
a gale, accompanied by a heavy sea, in which the vessel
laboured greatly. Up to that time she had shown herself,
to the best of my judgment, a lively manageable ship, and
during the gale in the Downs she had behaved remark-
ably well. The pumps had been sounded night and
morning, and she was quite tight, and upon trying them
as usual at 8 p.m. (previous night) no water (excepting
that always in the bottom) could be found. Towards 4
a.m. the ship began to lurch deeply in the sea, going a
long way over on her broadside, and she seemed unable to
recover herself. When she rolled I began to suspect
that there must be a considerable quantity of water
in her, and I mentioned to one of my shipmates that
the vessel seemed like a water-logged ship. Shortly
afterwards, the starboard quarter boot was carried away
by a heavy sea, and about 5 a.m. the crew, by the order
of the commander, commenced throwing overboard
water-casks, sheep-pens, and other lumber from the deck.
While they were so occupied, the ship gave a violent lurch
to starboard, and a heavy sea at the time breaking over
her to leeward, washed overboard the longboat, which was
full of live stock. The weather was then getting worse, and
the ship was kept hauled to the wind on the port tack
under the doublereefed fore and maintopsail, foresail, and
foretopmast-staysail, the foresail being hauled up and the
maintopsail lowered down on the cap. She continued to
lurch violently, and at half-past five a.m., she rolled right
over her starboard beamends, and remained in that posi-
