REGULLTIONB FOR. STEAMBOATB.—On Saturday
notice was issued by the Board of Trade that the provisions
of the amended Steam Navigation Act, 14 and 16 Vic., c.
79, would be strictly enforced on and after the 3lat inst. All
the river steamers have been surveyed, and some condemned
as unfit for the conveyance of passengeri. On the 31st inst.
al t steamers will be required to display in a conspicuous part
of the vessel their certificate to run, and the number of pas-
' eengers they are allowed to carry; each vessel will now be
' furnished with a salety valve, free from the control of the
engineer. Penalties will be enforced on masters and owners
for carrying more than their number, and on passengers for
forcing their way on board, or travelling beyond the dis-
tance for which they have paid. The Custom's officers on
and after the 31st Inst., will not grant tranaire or permit any
vessels to put to sea, unless they are properly found in life-
boats, fire-engines, signal lights, and the other requirements
for the preservation of life at sea.
DECLINE OP THS LAW COURTS.—Further bvidence
has been afforded of the fa,ling off in the civil business of the
assizes. Some cause lists have been produced in Yorkhire
of no older date than the years 1827 and 1828. In that for
1847 there is an entry of 41 causes in the North and East
population
it is
Riding list, and of 147 in the West Riding; the total, 188.
In 1828 the entry was of 17 in the former, and 140 in the
latter; total, 157. For the present assizes the entry was of

THE ENGINEERS' STRlST.—Another week, the
tenth of the strike, has passed without producing any ar-
rangement of the dispute between the operatives and their
employers. On Friday a reduction took place in the allow-
ance paid to members of the Amalgamated Society, who re.
ceived only 10s. per man for the put week, instead of 15e.
paid since the first week of the strike up to Saturday, the
13th of March. The non-society men received 10s. as usual
