One cnnsolinr fact in this terrible chronicle ia.

One consoling fact in this terrible chronicle is,
that but few accidents have occurred to ships ably
manned and commanded; out of the IL 900 and odd
casualties only sixty are recorded against ships
of 700 tons and upwards. This Is not merely in con.
sequence of their size, but simply because in most
large vessels greater care is shown in the selection Of
q crew and in the appointment Of competent com
mander. Nearly all the losses have been sustained
by vessels ranging from 80 TO 500 TONS because these
are the description Of craft most likely to be sailed
economically often weak handed and liable to
be commanded by men possessing few recommends
tions for filing the Office Of captain, except being
part owner.

A List Of casualties to British shipping has been
compiled from uoyd's Lat, and laid before Parlis-
ment in blue book. We find that during the last
four years there happened 1t sea 1868 disasters
varying in magnitude from total shipwreck to a
slight collision. Some of these items are very
striking. Thus, the single item that " The Honest
Endeavor sailed from Hull, Nova Scotia bound, and
had not been heard Of for three years" fails to arrest
the attention SO forcby as when ono Is startled with
the astonishing intelligence that 204 ships and their
crews departed from our various ports within the
four years alluded to, and not one OF them was ever
heard of again.

P0RlIsN BILLS OF EXCHANGE.
On the 10th, In the House OF Commons, Mr.. Ricar-
Chancellor Of the Exchequera question Of some i'm.
portapce to the commercial world: 1t appeared
that there were In circulation bllsof exchange pro-
Tossing to have been drawn abroad, but which, in
fact, had been drawn at home in London, and, mas
much az they did not bear the stamp of an inland
bill, 1t had been held that the bankers or other par
ties who had discounted them could not receive the
sums they had advanced in the event Of the bills
being dishonOred. Now, he wished to ask the right
honorable gentleman whether his attention had been
called to the subject, and If so, whether it his
intention to bring In q measure either to afford
dress to what were called the "innocent holders In
this case or to prevent recurrence OF such frauds
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said Of course
his attention had been called to the embarrassment
attending the present state of the law in regard to
bills ictitiously purporting to have been drawn
abroad, and having recently been engaged in collect
ing information on the subject, he should be much
disappointed il he was not able to make proposal
to the house about it during the present session.
