One thousand American Shipe
Sold During the War.


1t was not until the latter part of 1852 that
it became apparent that we could no longer
hope to carry on our foreign trade under our
own flag and in our own ships. The priva-
teers were 80 active and destructive that II
was almost with forlorn hope that any vessel
was sent to sea. To save themselves and
protect their property, our merchants in large
numbers began to transfer their ships to the
care and protection of other powers who could
protect them. The effect Of the movements
in this direction on the part Of few of our
leading merchants was instantaneous, and in
few weeks after the sales began, scores oi
ships were sold or transferred. In round
numbers we have lost !, 600 vessels, and nearly
half million of tonnage.
By law a ship becoming the property of q
British subject cannot be sold under another
flag except in circumstances which render
the act SO troublesome that il is not worth
while to 60 through the routine necessary to
measure lost some of our finest vessels, and
much interest abroad represented by the
heavy tonnage transferred.
Not single steamer has crossed the ocean
during the past four years carrying the maili
and passengers over which 6oated our flag
England, France, Bremen, Hamburg, snd
| even Sweden and Russia, have been doing
that work. There seems to have been :
| combination organized by the force of cir.
cumstances to drive us from the ocean en-
tirely. Take up the shipping list of any
week for the last three years, and look at the
arrivals and clearances. 1t is truly an nm
pleasant comparison with that of few year
ago. Thipk of it. 1t is not an unfrequen
thing for seven foreign steamers to sail from
the United States for European ports in one
day.
The time has come when we trust our mer.
chant ship owners and the Government vii
awake to the importance of our present stand

Bee LAwYER-ExcIrING SCENE ON CANA
DIAN SrEAMER.-The Magnet on her last up
ward trip from the Sagueney, was leaving
Murray Bay on Thursday afternoon, immedi.
ately after dinner time. The majority Of the
passengers were American tourists of the
most respectable class-clergymen and others
with large portion of ladies. As the boat
was about to leave the wharf, two travelling
musicians on board commenced to play tune
entitled, sRally Round the Flag, Boys,n Z
popular patriotic song in the States, which
the Americans began TO sing. Every one be-
ing in great good hui0or, the captain hoisted
the American and British 6ags amid the
cheers Of the company the former, however,
being hoisted first, there were some Kisses,
and . few voices called out cut it down. Where
upon Mr.. Archibald Campbell, lawyer OF
Quebec, sprang on board from the wharf, ran
up the rigging like sailor and cut down the
flag. The boat meantime, was leaving the
wharf, and the only way he had of regainine
the land was TO jump into the water and swim
ashore. This act Of m excited individual
greatly mortified the American and still more
the British and Canadian passengers on board
who did their best to explain it away by re-
ferring to the excitement at the present time,
on account of the interference Of Mr.. Consul
Potter in Canadian affairs. These particulars
We have from highly respectable merchant
of this city. who was on board ct the time.
Such an occurrence we regard IS exceedingly
unfortunate. But it is obvious that . single
individual may at any time do very foolish
thing. Montreal Witncss, July 26th.
