MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The large number of emigrant ships about to leave our
shores for Australia, and the unavoidable hurry in
which they are got ready for the voyage, will impose in-
creased and onerous labour upon the Government agent,
Lieutenant Lean, but if the New Passengers Amend-
ment Bill is enforced, there will be tolerable protection.
Is may be useful to give some of the provisions of this
Act. Among other things, it is stipulated that—
" No ship shalt clear out or shall proceed to sea with
a greater number of passengers on board (exclusive of
bon& fide cabin passengers) than will allow of the ap-
propriation to them of the following space on the " pas-
senger decks " unoccupied by stores, not being the per-
sonal luggage of the passengers, (that is to say) if the
skip is not intended to pass within the tropics, twelve
clear superficial feet for every statute adult, but if the
ship is intended to pass within the tropics, fifteen
such clear superficial feet for every statute
adult. Nor (unless the ship be propelled by
steam) with a greater number of persons
on board (including the master and crew and cabin pas-
sengers, if any, and counting two children above the
age of one year and under that of fourteen, as one per-
see), than in the proportion of one person to every two
tons of the registered tonnage of such ship. If there
shall be on board of any ship at or after the time of
clearance, a greater number eicber of persons or of pas-
sengers than in the proportions respectively herein-
before mentioned, the master of such ship shall be liable
on such conviction as hereinafter is mentioned, to a
penalty not exceeding five pounds nor less than two
pounds sterling for each person or passenger constituting
any such excess.
"Jo every passenger ship' the beams supporting the
passenger decks' shalt form part of the permanent
structure of the ship. They shall bo of adequate
strength, in the judgment of the emigration officer at
the port of clearance, and shall be firmly secured to the
ship to the satisfaction of such officer. The passenger
decks' shall be at least one inch and a half in thickness,
and shall be laid and firmly fastened upon the beams
continuously from side to side of the compartment in
which the passengers are berthed, or substantially se-
cured to the beams, at least three inches clear above the
bottom thereof, to the satisfaction of such emigration
officer. The height between any deck on which passen-
gers are carried and the deck immediately above it shall
not be less than six feet.
" There shall not be more than two tiers of berths on
any one deck in any passenger ship,' and the interval
between the floor of the berths and the deck immediately
beneath them shall not he less than six inches. The
berths shall be securely constructed, and of dimensions
not less than after the rate of six feet in length and
eighteen inches in width for each statute adult, and
shall be sufficient in number for the proper accommoda-
tion of all the passengers contained in the lists of pas-
sengers hereinbefore required to bo delivered by the
master of the ship.
" In addition to and irrespective of any provisions of
their own which any passengers may have on board, the
master of every passenger ship' shall make to each
statute adult during the voyage, including the time of
detention, if any, at any port or place before the termi-
nation of such voyage, an allowance of pure water and
sweet and wholesome provisions, according to the fol-
lowing dietary scale;—Weekly, per statute adult, 3
quarts of water daily, 281bs. of bread or biscuit not in-
terior in quality to navy biscuit, Ilb. of wheaten flour,
51bs. of oatmeal, 2lbs. of rice, lb. of sugar, 2oz. of ten,
or 4oz. of cocoa or of roasted coffee, 2oz. of salt. •
" The following substitutions for articles in the above
dietary scale may be made at the option of the master of
any passenger ship, provided that the substituted articles
be set forth in the contract tickets of the passengers,
that is to say, 51b. of good potatoes or ill). of beet' or
pork exclusive of bone, or of preserved meat, or ill". of
dried salt fish, or llb. of bread or biscuit, not inferior in
quality to navy biscuit, or 11b. of best wheaten flour, or
lib. of split; peas, or lilt). of oatmeal, or 11b. of lice and
alb of preserved potatoes may be substituted for llb. of
potatoes, but in vessels clearing out from Scotch or
Irish ports the weekly allowance of oatmeal shall not
be less than at the rate of 3ilb. for each statute adult."
There are other most salutary clauses, and the Act is
a great improvement upon former ones. This, in some
measure also, will account fur the enhanced rates of
passage now asked.
At the present time, when the Steam Navigation
Companies of the kingdom are extending their opera-
tions, and new undertakings of a similar character are
starting into existence, it is of the utmost importancd
that each vessel should be supplied with the most eco-
nomical means of acconimphshing a safe and speedy
voyage. It is well known to all parties connected with
e
sea-going steamers that the very best coal that can b..,
obtained deteriorates in quality in tropwlictae,:scealt:ipem:lwotlesru:s;
