THE PASSENGERS' BILL
Earl GREY, in moving the second reauing of this b3l,
said that it wa- proposed in pursuance of the recommenda-
tion of the commiaainers of emigration, who had been in
communication wilt the principal ship owners engaged in
the trade of carrying emigrants from this country to North
America, and was merely in its most Imp nut provisions a
re-enactment of the existing law and contained but a few
alterations, which he believed tolse insperaut improvements.
These were that the existing run' dim for carr)iog not
more than two pass agars fur each ton should include
the crew—that means o. ventilati In should be provided—and
that an imprevement should be made in the dietary from a
pound to a pound and a halt of flour, and an allowance of tea
and sugar.

ACCIDENTS IN MINES.
Lord WHARNCLIFIE moved for the appointment of a
select commiteee to inquire into the beat moues of preventing
the occurrence of dangerous accidents in coal mines. There
had been no inquiry on the subject since ISM, and he thought
the time had arrived when some it.quiry might be attended
with the graast advantage. He apprehended no objection
to the motion, and believed that the inquiry would sot be a

protracted one.
The Earl of CARLISLE said there was no objection to
the motion, as the necessity of some remedial measure
was admitted. The government had been making endea-
vours on the subject through Sir Henry Da La Bache, who
had sanguine expectations of their successful result. But,
nevertheless, the government would willingly adopt any sug-
gestions by the committee now proposed that might appear
useful.
After • few words from Earl St. GERMANS the motion
was agreed to.
