A Sydney telegram in the Argus says :—: — "The owner of the steamer Fidelia, recently wrecked off Port Elizabeth, was a passenger by the Baroda. He had intended insuring the vessel in Melbourne if allowed to land there. He was then in quarantine here until the steamer's loss was known, and therefore had no opportunity of effecting an insurance." We are authorised to state that there is no foundation for this statement, the Vessel having been heavily insured in London.
