HARD YEAR ON sHlPPIN q

The year. 1872, will long, long
be remembered. says the British
Review, ~ one Of the most disas.
trous for shipping in the Northern
Hemisphere that has ever been ex
perienced, and it is only to be ex
pected that the casualty OF COLI
sion should bear its proportion On
the British coast alone the num-
bers last month far exceeded the
total Of any month ever before re-
corded; whilst in the North Sea,
Baltic and American coasts, the
proportion is even greater.
The number Of vessels reported
lost and missing during the Au-
tumn and Winter, thus far, is prop.
ably in excess OF that Of any like
period In previous years. The
ocean telegraph during the past
month or two has been burdened
with accounts of storms of unusual
severity, and the disasters on the
English coast have been altogether
beyond precedent. No less than
four hundred and forty nine lives
are said to have been loet there IL
the last fortnight.
The number of vessels lost dur
Ing the present year must have
been far in excess Of the new ones
constructed. Indeed, the number
Of sailing vessels built during eacl
Of the last ten or twelve years ha.
been exceeded by the number lost
and worn out. Meanwhile. there
has been . constant development
OF commerce the world over, viii
the consequence of an increasing
demand for tonnage and moro re-
munerative freights. This state o
affairs will have more influence il
restoring our "deeayed merchan
marine" than all the Legislation
that can be devised.

THE measures which the Germsn
Government is said to have lately
adopted TO check emigration to the
United States, have undoubtedly
grown out Of theories Of civil soci-
ETY. which we're thought to have be-
come obsolete in Europe, especial
" in all continental Governments.
TLel still remain in most coun
tries, it is true, laws regulating the
whole matter of emigration but as
. general fact it has been free save
in time Of war. These proi,ibiiory
circulars il Germany have been is
sued by tho Minister of War;. MI
are confessedly military measures,
though issued in time Of peace.
They indicate the apprchensi0ns
which must always haunt the minds
OF European rulers and statesmen.
They know that a very large psrt
OF their work is to be constantly
preparing for war, and they are
naturally troubled at cvety move
ment among their people, which
tends, even though remotely. to
impair the military strength oil
their government. Nowhere do their
apprehensive alarms spring up so
readily AZ in Germany. That coun-
try has gained a position which she
is especially liable to be obliged: to
mantsin in arms. No States can
hope long to be able to control 9th
ere, save by tremendous reserve
Of .nilitary strength, which is at al
times available for her purposes
1t ls natural enough that Germany
should be troubled at the vast emf
grafton of Der children beyond thu
SEQ, but 80 long as they are ben
upon going, she will not find it 81
easy work to detain them.

A GREAT TRIAL.


Five Hundred Couatesfeiters on
Trial 1t Once.
In the whole history Of criminal
jurisprudence there has probably
never been anything equal 70 the
gigantic trial which Was concluded
at Moscow. in Russis, on the 2lst
Of November, and in which was ar
raignsd five hundred prisoners. up
wards Of two hundred Gf whom
we're convicted and sentenced to
cruel penalties. Among the &C.
cused were persons Of every station
in life-gray haired men and
youths, men and women: among
the latter some highly accomplished
and prepossessing in appearance.
All the prisoners were charged with
one Of the gravest oflenses in the
criminal code OF Russia- that Of
counterfeiting. The code says:
s'The person that counterfeits the
coin or, currency Of the Imperial
Government shall suffer death. "
Notwithstanding this rigorous pro
vision Russia hes been flooded for
several years past with well-exe-
cuted counterfeits Of the Govern
msnt treasury notes. The prompt
execution Of several who were
caught in passing the spurious cur
rency did not check the evil .and
for the last three years it became
90 great that the Minister Of FIJI
nance was almost in despair. OF
