The steauner George \V. Elder, (‘Ulltlllfllttletl by Capt. Fred. Bollcs—a gentlenmn who has been identified with the Portland trade for years and is thoroughly ne~ «Inninted with the navigation of that portion our waters—also struck in the. river, but l'ortunntely got off without apparent damage. All these accidents occurred within a period at three days. Formerly, the poli cies of insurance distinctly prohibited any vessel over fifteen feet draft, en tering the river, except at their own risk. The dangers of crossing the. by are so conclusive, that it will not he long before the Underwriters will return to their former rule in regard to this river. Let us review the several cases re {erred in: The ship Pilgrim, 9.36 tuna, three years uld, built at Med l'urd, and owned by Henry Hastings, cleared on Decmnhcr 10th with a cargo of 35.239 centals of wheat, valued at $54,874; the ship herself was valued at about $45,000. The Leading Wind, a. ship thrvo years old, built at Bath, owned by‘ Goes and Sawyer, valued at almu't 800,000, and having on board 33,370 ceutals of wheat, valuod at $72,011:, cleared on December 14th; while the ship Nimbus, owned by Patton 8: Son, of Bath, where she was built, was eight years old, 1302 tons regis ‘ ter, valued at about 845,000, and having a cargo of 42.505 centals of wheat, valued at $92,498, cleared on December 17th. All had to wait un til December 28th, when they got what they supposed a favorable change to venture across the dangerv ons waters. The sequel shows thel way they were deceived. The Un ‘ derwriters and owners sustain a loss on the Nimbus of about $140,000. The dama e on the other two ves sels, not taiing the English ship into consideration, will make the osses in this afi'airalone over a quarter ofa million of dollars. Does the extra (freight of £1 per ton cover the above? We think not, and we fear also that we shall bear many more of the same kind of accidents before the Winter is over. No vessel of over sixteen feet draft at most should be permitted to cross Columbia Riv~ er Bar.—“ Alta California.” Since the furore raised over the Columbia river bar on account of re cent marine disasters, the Portland papers have been trying to smooth matters over by attacking Puget Sound interests, and parading the ()smyn disaster in support of their statements derogatory to our ship‘ ing business. Ever one who lmows anything .about the loss at the Osmyu can easily see that the disas ter was merely the result of a col lision which might have occurred on the high sees as readily as anywhere else, while the perils of Columbia river navigation are so palpable that Oregon papers have to conceal them as far as possible. After inserting the clipplng from the “ Alta." dis patches came as follows hereinafter about the disaster in San Francisco Bay. it is a Well known fact that tlw'. last named hay is fast iilling up with! debris from the Sacramento river.l and that the harbor there is ltelllgj thereby rendered unsafe. “'hu will not agree with us that it requires no great stretch of the imagination to se’. the day a low years lit-nee who-n Puget Sound will he sought as the only safe and reliable haw-n for storm tossed vessels, on the North west (finest of this t'untit-cnt'.’ The dispetclws read: SAV Fan: IN at, Jan. 2’7».——The ship \Vestern shore, for Seattle, hark King l’hillip. l'nr l'r-rt tiniiilile. and the llolirlan hark lion .\i--ula~. for Victoria. were town-l to sea ”II“ morning.

Our readers will remember that Dr. Chaplin said something to the same ell'eet a day or two ago. it is hardly to he believed, but it is a fact nevertheless. that what we may call town papers, the repre sentatives in journalism 01' Manches ter and the other great towns, con tinue to advocate a simple freedom of trade between Great Britain and lthe Continent. The answer to this is, first, that we find that when we restrict the movement of cattle in land. say under dread of cattle plague, we kill all the other costly diseases to which our domesticated animals are subject. l’leuro and foot and mouth disease both disap pear when you take action against cattle plague. That ought to teach us that the best; thing we can do to increase our food supply is to pro hibit the importation of all live ani mals for food purposes. \Vhy should they be driven from point to point of the Continent, then shipped to us, and after that kept until they are again lit for slaughter? “'0 add to lour expenses .in the feeding and keeping, and after that get worse meat than we should have had if we had determined that we would only i take dead meat from our neighbors. The reason why there are not better things done is that we have vested interests concerned, and that these vested interests mean to take care of themselves, without regard to the needs or the well-being of the com. munity at large. There is nothing that so convinces a man that there is truth in religion as to see true religion in Christians. The horn of the huhmr is no long er heard on the hill.
