Tug LATE GAROTTE ATTACK AT WAKEFIELD.-
At the Wakefield Court-house, on Monday, before the
sitting magistrate, Edward McHele and Thomas Smith
were placed in the dock by Mr. McDonnold, chief consta-
ble, on a remand from Wednesday last, charged with being
concerned in the late garotte attack on Mr. Bard-. Meliale is a
formidable-looking fellow, and Smith is also an apparently
vigorous and powerful man. Mr. McDonnold then stated
the nature of the charge against the prisoners, and also
further said that the chain of evidence against them was
incomplete. He must consequently call on the magistrates
Ito discharge them. After entering at some little further
length into the circumstances of the case, the magistrates
discharged the prisoners with a suitable reprimand. No
other prisoners are in custody, and although a reward of
501. has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders,
it appears exceedingly probable that the ruffians who per-
petrated the outrage will remain undiscovered.

NEW BILL ON MERCHANT SIIIPPINC.-A bill
brought forward by the government has just been printed,
to amend various laws relating to merchant shipping.
There are 63 clauses in the measure ani a schedule. The
bill, which stands for the second reading on Monday in the
House of Commons, it is proposed shall come into operation
on the Ist of August next, and is to be cited as The Mer-
chant Shipping Law Amendment Act, 18.53." The bill has
reference to light and other dues on shipping, and placing
the accounts under the Board of Trade. After a number
of provisions with respect to manning, volunteering into
the navy, and desertion, there is a clause with respect to
Lascar seamen for Australia. It is declared to be expedient
to give facilities for obtaining seamen in the Australian co-
' looses, for which purpose it is proposed to enact that con-
tracts may be made with natives in India under certain
conditions, binding them to go to Australia and thence to
servo in other ships in the United Kingdom. Certain com-
missioners mentioned are to form the Mercantile Marine
Fund. The Queen in council is to fix the tolls to be taken
for new lighthouses. To the present, as in recent govern-
ment bills, there is an analysis of the contents.
