THE CALENDAR OF LOSSES.

During the quarter ending last December, the
losses in 40 considerable fires throughout the country
are reckoned above $50 600 900, and those for the
whole year double the year previous, and far ex.
ceeding many former years This is accounted for by
extraordinary losses in certain fires, such as the burn
ing of cotton, and Government and city warehouses,
and one or two extensive factories. Seventy five fires
occurred in New-York State, with loss Of nearly
$4,000, 900. Twenty-Five houses were destroyed III
single fire at Lima, N. Y, and 100 in Belfast, Me-
The severest loss Of life during fire occurred at
Charleston, where score of people were killed by
falling walls Cotton burned at store and on ship
board amounted to about 1000 bales. In nine years
the total in fires of 100000 and upward falls short
of S72, 900 900.
We are here generally estimating only land and
house fires, and perhaps not in all respects from On
insurance point OF view. Let us add review OF the
recent quarter ending with the last of April. In 81
fires of 100000 loss and upward the total deStruc
ton amounted to Sl0,G70,00O. We compare this
with the former quarter in which 81 fires Of the
same degree occurred, with general reported loss Of
more than SIs OO0, 900. The chief losers have been
the Cities of Ncw-York, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Buffalo, the Oil Regions the Michigan Central and
IcuuSylNdIu AdliIoduci thc p'uolni po'N'u
ment. Cotton, amounting to between three and
four millions Of dollars, was burned in Mobile.
Pixies splendid opera-house was lately destroyed
in Cincinnat; and in the last eight months chiefly in
the quarter just past score of fires dried as many
wells in tho oil regions Fires on ship, steamboat,
and railroad have not yet been reckoned, but make
up large supplement to the other volume Oh losses by
fire. The amount of cotton thus destroyed in the last
two quarters would easily reach IL, OOO bales-a fact
of further warning against careless shipment and
storage.
Statistics Of railroad disaster are still Of prevailing
interest, and full of grave suggestion. From Septem-
Der TO January the number of accidents, involving
loss of property and le-say at least average OF
two deaths TO each oecurrence-were 20, Of which %
were outright collisions In eight cases trains
precipitated eight more were explosions; in three,
bridges broke down; in FOUR switches misplaced,
and in ono or two instances the cars of trestles
On several railroads as many as three or four ocomo.
tves were destroyed in twenty -four hours. The rail-
roads Of New.York were debted with twenty acct
dents On all the railroads Of the country, estimating

The official dispatch on the bombardment Oh Naipa-
raiso from the commander of the Spanish squadron,
which we give this morning in another column, iur-
nshes fuller account Of the negotiations which, I'M
inediaely before the bombardmcnt, were carried on
between the Spanish commander and tha repre-
sentatives of the Foreign Powers-especiay those
of tho United States-than any heretofore
published Whether the account is correct in all its
details 1t is impossible to say before hearing again
from the other parties concerned. In one very
important point there is signal discrepancy between
the dispatch from Admiral Nuhez and that from
Commodore Rodgers. The latter which was pub
lished in The TRIBUNE Of May 3, contains the
following statement;
Upon my arrival in this port with the squadron under my
command, called upon the English Admiral who had IN
formed that he intended to prevent sudden lombard
men and would only suffer it after ample notice 10 TINS
reply but having considered the matter sou9nt the

not more than Any minutes Monadnock herself entirely
unaed would leave only the mastheads OF the h9manca
above wator and that wooden vessels English and Amer
can could look out for the wooden vessels Of the panards
Nothing in the dispatch indicates that Commodore
Rodgers subsequently changed his opinion, and he
was therefore, generally understood to say that If at
any time before the bombardmcnt the English Ad-
miral had declared his readiness to resist it, the
American vessels would have joined him in the at

WINE.

The Sandu,ly Republican quotes Tie Chicago Rsp"Si-
can as stating that at dinner given by the propre'
tors of The TRIBUNE on the twenty fifth anniversary
of its foundation, champagne flowed freely" and
adds:
1.-THE account say in words that Mr. Greeley (who
else where termed the responsible host OF temperate mem
ory aided personally In empyina the champagne bottles but
he put the bottle his neghbors lips by furnishing wine al
feast which he presided will not split hairs on the
subject"
AS an attempt is made to use these alleged facts
pernciousy it may be proper to state that Mr. Gree
ley was not the responsible host on that occasion
that the dinner was no wise suggested, got up, nor
managed by hm-that he was not aware, till he en-
tered the dining .room that Wine had been or would
be proyided-that he neither drank any nor in any
manner "put the bottle to his neighbours lps'-that
he was obliged to leave at p. M. to fulfill an imper
alive engagement elsewhere-and that he neither
drinks Wine provides it for Others. Surely, the
editor of The Chicago Republican should be already
aware that Mr.. Greeey's notions as regards Wine
differ from those of of his associates; and that
no has never sought to make bis convictions the
measure of their tastes and habits.
