Ships. —: under date of the 2nd inst., the chief surveyor of Lloyds and two assistants have drawn -Up * report with reference to the dismasting of iron sailing ships, having particular regard to what the Melbourne surveyors had alleged was the cause of these disasters. It appears that out of eleven large iron ships dismasted during 1 the last twelve, months, * seveir were bound for Australia, and the surveyors investigated the matter, and reported on what they considered had occasioned these disasters, Lloyds’ surveyors, whilst 1 not coinciding altogether with the views of the_ Mclbourne.meu, have come, to the conclusion that the inducement ta make quick passages is at the bottom of the occurrences, and that,?a.'spirit of emulation often induces captains to carry on with a full spread of sail long after it is safe and prudent to do so. It is recommended that the present tables for masts and yards should be made a part of the rules, and the minimum sizes and numbers of shrouds fixed, and. that a “ form ” should be prepared for the details of masts, yards, &c. The hope is expressed that the late disasters, having-awakened so much Interest in the; shipping community, will lead to greater precautions being taken both in the fitting-out and navigation of these large ships, and thereby tend to ‘prevent, a repetition in the future of such deplorable casualties.
