CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The large number of emigrant ships about to leave our
shores for Australia, and the unavoidable hurry iu
which they are got ready for the voyage, will impose in-
creased and onerous labuur upon the Government agent,
Lieutenant Lean, but if the New Passengers Amend-
mint Bill is enforced, there will be tolerable protection.
It may be useful to give some of the provisions of this
Act. Among other things, it is stipulated that—
" No ship shall clear out or shall proceed to sea with
a greater number of passengers on board (exclusive of
boni 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
ship is not intended to pass within the tropics, twelve
clear superficial feet for every statute adult, but if the
ship is intended to pars 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, nod counting two children above the
age of one year and under that of fourteen, as one per-
son), than in the proportion of one person to every two
tons of the regi6tered tonnage of such ship. If there
shall be on board of any ship at or after the time of
clearance, a greater number either of persons or of pas-
sengers than in the proportions respectively herein-
befure mentioned, the master of euch ship shall be liable
on such conviction as hereinafter is, mentioned, to a
penalty not exceeding five pounds nor leas than two
pounds sterling for each person or passenger constituting
any such excess:.
p4a‘slsenuegveerryde'ephass,sseha
nglei or
r ship' the the beams supporting the
part of the permanent
structure of the ship. They shall be 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 *psssenger ship,' and the interval
between the floor of the berths and the deck immediately
beneath them shall not be 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 herainbefore required to be 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

There are other most salutary clauses, and the Act is
a great improvement upon former ones. This, in some
measure also, will account for the enhanced rates of
passage now asked.
At h
present time, when the Steam Navigation
Companies
te
of the kingdom are extending their opera-
tions, and mew 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 accommphshing a safe and speedy
voyage. It is well known to all parties connected with
sea-going steamers that the very best coal that can be
obtained deteriorates in quality in tropical climates, and,
consequently it becomes important to procure a substi-
tute which will obviate that evil. We are informed
that the fuel made by the patentee, whose powers are
granted to the National Patent Steam Fuel Company,
has been tried on board some of the Government and
other steamers during the last two years, and has givi!n
great satisfaction. It has been proved that
.it will
retain its strength for any length of time inas
allti
hottest climate—that it does not crumble into dust,
coal to a great extent will—that it will not
board
that at least 25 per cent. is saved in
apace and coin-
ship. These are advantages which theirportant.
