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.
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
bond 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) it 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 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 beard (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-
son), than in the proportion of ono 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 either of persons or of pas-
sengers then 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 passenge: constituting
any such excess.
"In every passenger ship' the beams supporting the
passenger decks' shall form part of the permanent
structure of the ship. They shall be of adequate
strength, in the judgment of the emigration cfficer 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 aide of the compartment i❑
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 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 hereinbefore 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
sweet and wholesome provisions, according to the fol-
lowing dietary scale :—Weekly, per statute adult, 3
quarts of water daily, 2ilbs. of bread or biscuit not in-
terior in quality to navy biscuit, 11b. of wheaten flour,
bibs. of oatmeal, 2lbs, of rice, %lb. of sugar, 2oz. of tea,
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 ilb. of beef or
pork exclusive of bone, or of preserved meat, or Vb. of
dried salt fish, or lib. of bread or biscuit, not inferior in
quality to navy biscuit, or 11b. of best wheaten flour, or
11b. of split; peas, or 'Vb. of oatmeal, or lib. of rice apd
Ib of preserved potatoes may be substituted for 11b. 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 331 b. 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 acccunt for the enhanced rates o.
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 aro
starting into existence, it is of the utmost iraportancd
that each vessel should be supplied with the most eco-
nomical means of accommplishing 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 beccurs important to procure a substi-
tute which will obviate that evil. We are informed
e
that the fuel made by the patentee, whose powers are
granted to the National Patent

for the wgui reorder of Thomas Morley.
Mr. B iokio, with whom was Mr. Cherke, conjucteil the
prosecution; aed Mr. Parry appeared for the defienee.
It flp peered Iran the opening statement of the Learned
Counsel for the prosccueon, that some few weelrs rive
on a ,Sunday night, the 30th of May, the two prisoners
' and the deceased were at the Three Crowns public
house, in East Smithfield, near the docks, and while
they were there the deceased eccidcrsta!ly upset some
liquor, but ho retired in order that there should
be no disturbance, as the two Eh-Loners
seemed dispced to quarrel with him. lie
therefore repaired to the One Crown public-house,
which stands at the corner of One Bear-Alley, a pkce of
a very low description, end occupied by notorionsly-bed
characters. Thither the two prisoners followed him,
and some women coming upon the ceene a row ensued in
con6equeueo of one of the prisoners having threatened
to spit in the face of a female cohabiting
with a man named Tenison. Tenison, however,
who was drunk, was bodily carried into the
street by a friend named . Connelly, assisted by
the deceased. The prisoners were soon atterwarde
seen in the street, and another disturbance taking
place, the police came up and drove them
away. It was late at night, but, nevertheless,
after the police had disappeared Tenison returned to the
court and joined the prisoners again. They renewed
the previous quarrel, and Connelly once more interlered
to get him away, but the prisoner Antola, who had
armed himself with a poker, felled him to the ground,
as ho was in the act of taking Tenison with both arms
round ' the waist. The deceased, Murky, who
witnessed the terrible assault, rushed upon An-
tole, to prevent his repeating the blow, and
while he was restraining him the other pri.
• soner, Remorino, advanced to the spot, when Antola
handed him a huge clasp-knife, which Remorino opened
and deliberately stabbed the deceased in the lower part
of the abdomen. The prisoner then decamped, while
the deceased fell senseless to the ground. He was,
however, taken up by some of his companions, and as
he was found to be dreadfully bleeding from the wound
which the knife had inflicted, he was conveyed to the
London Hospital, where he lingered for a few hours in
great agony and then died. It would seern that
all the patties were drunk at the time of
the occurrence, and in the early part of the
night the deceased and one of the prisoners had
a stand-up fight about some drink which had been given
to a prostitute, and in the course of the encounter the
prisoner received a severe punishment and a black eye.
Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoners,
The Learned JUDGE summed up, when
The jury, after deliberating for a short time, retired
to consider their verdict, and had not returned when our
report left.

IMPERIAL PAULI AM- EN "r.

(THIS DAY.)

lIOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took tPRIV-ATE BUSINESS.he Chair at Twelve o'clock.

The Lords' amendments to the Blackburn and Preston
Road and Bridge, and the Preston and Garstang Road
Bills were considered and agreed to.
BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COM-
PANY'S BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. BERNAL called attention to the fact that an
amendment had been introduced into the Bill, for in-
creasing shares from 101, to 201., and suggested that the
House ought to lay down some rule by which Commit-
tees should be guided in questions relating to the liability
of shareholders in joint-stock companies.
Lord HOTHAM said the Committee and all the par-
ties to the Bill had consented to the alteration.
Mr. B. DENISON said the question of limited
liability was far too important to be disposed of hastily,
and he hoped the House would rc quire that it should
be investigated by a Committee before they moved in
the matter.
Mr. WALPOLE was also of opinion that the question
ought to be reserved for a future occasion.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed, as
were also:—
Hawkins's Divorce,
Grand Junction Waterworks.
Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company.
PETITIONS.
Mr. C. BRUCE presented a petition from a place in
the county of Elgin, against the Maynooth grant.
Sir J. Y. BULLER presented a petition from 1,194
occupiers of land in the county of Devon, praying the
Rouse to take steps to secure the guano trade of Lobos.
- Lord JOHN MANNERS presented a petition from
North Shields, complaining that railway companies do
not furnish lights, and praying the House to remedy

the evil.
Mr. SCOTT presented a petition from Roxborougb,
praying the House to take steps to secure the guano
trade.
METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY BILL.
Lord JOfIN MANNERS, in moving the committal
of this Bill,, intimated that the Bill as it now stood was
the Bill introduced by his predecessor in cilia, as
amended by a Committee, and the Government did not
held itself responsible for all its provisions, but it
acknowleged the principle of Government control, and
with those principles Government perfectly concurred.
Mr. MO WATT said this was a question of vital im-
portance to the metropolis, and as the Bill was exceed-
ingly defective ho must move that it be committed this
day three months. The omissions in the Ihll. were
most extraordinary, while it had been dealt with in a
very restricted manner. The whole question of water
Supply had not been referred to a Select Committee, but
tlas particular Bill had been investigated by a Com-
mittee who felt that all they had to dispose
of was simply to decide whether or no the
13111 was such as the Homo ought to pass.
The public,. therefore, was not heard betore
. that Committee, and the consequence was their interests
had been neglected. What was it that the public bad
been so long complaining of ? Why, first, it was the
source whence their water was supplied; secondly, the
mode of distribution; and, thirdly, the price. The third
objection was of minor importance compared with the
two first, but he was sorry to say that this Bill removed
. none of the objections. The question of supply as against
the Thames had long ago been settled; all the authori-
ties who had written or spoken upon the point, with only
two exceptions, coucurren in stating that the Thames
' could not be safely used as a source of supply.
Dr. Conyers Smith had, at the instance of the
Government, examined the quality of the water in the
Thames, not only in the neighbourhood of the metro-
polis, but above bridge as far as its source, and ho was
satisfied that 'it was saturated with decayed animal
and vegetable matter, ttat no filleiirg process could
render it tit for human consumption, and yet this Bill
continued this objectionable source of supply. Other
authorities of equel eminence, suoh as Dr. Hooper, Dr.
Harris, and Dr. James Johnson, and a great many
others were unanimous upon this point, but the evidence
taken Were. the Committee which sat upon this Bill
was of a very different character. It was paid for, and
the views of the parties from whom the fees were re-
ceived were supported by the witnesses. Besides all
the other impurities of the Thames water, no less than
sixteen grains of carbonate of lime were contained in
every gallon of it, showing thus that twenty-six
tons of carbonate of limo were contained in
every daily supply of water to the metropolis.
It was estimated that three to lour millions of money
were lest to the inhabitants of London annually in con-
sequence cf the hardness of this W a er, which rendered
necessary three-fiftbs more soap and tea than would 1 a
required under other circumstances. Hops, malt, an
dyes, and every other article which was to be
held in solution in water were likewise affected
by .the hardness of the Thames water. When
the consumption of these articles had so much effect
upon the comfort and well-being of the people, he
thought the House ought to do something to cure the
evil. No less than 15,000 and 16,000 deaths in London
every year were attributed to preventable causes, and
the two main causes were an imperfect and impure sup-
ply.of water and bad drainage.

the affairs of La Plata has been detained at Madeira by
Casualties. Sir Charles 'ffotham will therefore have to re-

we m.y reasonably hope that the waters of La Plata will
