Tiil Sun- Tyii-j.uk —To tho Editor : Sir, - A couespondent, who signs hiuisolf, "Manner, Cnrom indol," w mts infoi in iHon about a ship he calls the "Tellcaui," which was lost on the coast oi lieland, in 18").}. I think he means the ship John Tayluer, which left Liverpool eaily in J.muuiy, lS~>t, for Meiboume, but was lost on Lambay Island, in the lush Channel, neai td Dublin, a few days nftci hailing fiom Livei pool. I do not know the numbei of passengeis, but I think the passcngeid and ciew altogethei nmounted to betweenGOOand 700, of whom about 3G0 souls were lost. I had a biother on boaid, who wai amongst thoie who weie s ivod Theie were alaigc numbei of females on bo.ud, and I think only two of them wcie saved. Tho Tayluer wai a ii<jw it on Hhip, on hot first voyage. The weathei was thick and foggy, and the com passes did not woik well, which was said to have been the cauie of tho wieck. If " Maiinoi " think") wnll to communicate with me, I will givo him all the information I can.— Address, V. Wahd, J'oit Alboit. CAUSES ()!•' THE LoSS OK ttlHI'H AT Sj'A. — A Board of Tiado nuiveyoi, who is uIho a i>iactical seaman, has just published a lcniaikablc p.imj)hleL on this subject. Ho bIiowh, among other things, that uninsuied ships aie laiely lout, as it is then the owner's manifest inteiest to have them propeily laden,^well found, and manned, and commanded and oificeied by nkilful men. It is otherwise whon ships aie fully oi over insured. Their loss is then " a benefit to tho owner," says the wiitei, " as ho lias nothing to lose, and many owners foi the sake of a few moro tons of freight, do not mind hazarding tho lives of all on boaid." Tho practico of overworking the men during the day, so that they aie unable to keep a piopor outlook at night, i« also deprecated. Building steamships with a view chiefly to their fieight cai lying capacity is pointed to as agieat cause of disaster, as alsois tho indisciiminatc lengthening of stoameis, with little or no longitudinal strengthening. Want of a proper supply of lifeboats and undermanning are also feitilu causes of loaa 6f life a-t »ea. The undeim inning is attiibutsd largely .to the maiinoi in which sailers are lodged, fed, and tieated by then officers, while the gieat anil liicieasing piopoition of foieign seamen in out meicantile marine would piove an important element of weakn«33 in the caso of a gcncial war.
