STEAM NAVIGATION.

The new law to regulate steam navigation and to
require sea-going vessels to carry boats, which was
passed in August last, came into force on the lit of
January. There are some provisions in the statute (9
and 10 Vict., cap. 100) which are now briefly noticed,
having reference to the numerous steamers on the
Thames. By the 9th clause, every steam-vessel when
meeting or passing any ether steam-vessel 13 to pass,
as far as may be safe, on the port side of such vessel;
and every steam-vessel on a river or narrow channel
is to keep, as far as is practicable, to the starboard
side of such vessel, and in default, the master or other
person having charge of the vessel is to forfeit a sum
not exceeding 501. In the two following clauses, power
is given to the Admiralty to make regulations respecting
the exhibition of ." lights" at night, which regulations
arc to be published in the London Gazette, and then to
take effect. By the 12th section, vessels within twenty
miles of the coast are to exhibit " lights" at night, and
in default to pay a sum not exceeding 201.; " and the
owner of every steam-vessel in which such light shall
not be exhibited, as aforesaid, shall not be entitled to
recover any recompense or damage whatsoever which
may be sustained in consequence of any other vessel
running foul thereof." The 13th section is in the follow-
ing words: —" And be it enacted, that if any damage to
any person or property shall be sustained in conse-
quence of the non-observance, as respects any vessel, of
the rules contained in the two enactments relative to the
passing of steam-vessels, and to the exhibiting of lights,
hereinbefore contained, the same shall in all respects be
deemed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, to have
been occasioned by the wilful default of the master or
other person having the charge of such steam-vessels,
and such master or other person shall be subject in all
proceecliegs, whether civil or criminal, to the legal con-
sequences of such wilful neglect." It is by other sec
tions in the new law enacted that twice a year, in April
and October, two declarations respecting the sufficiency
and the good condition of the hull of every steamer and
of the machinery are to be transmitted to the Board of
Trade. Accidents to steamers are to be reported to the
Board of Trade, as also the probable loss of a vessel,
and the board may investigate into the causes of the
accidents or damages sustained. With respect to sea-
going steam-ships of 100 tons and more, it is enacted
that from and after tha Ist of January next they are to
be provided with boats, and with a hose for the purpose
of extinguishing a fire on board. The preamble of this
Act, which is an important feature in a statute, is well
defined in the following terms:—" Whereas it is expe-
dient to make further provision for regulating the con-
struction of sea-going steam-vessels, and for preventing
the occurrence of accidents (so far as may be possible)
in steam navigation, and for requiring sea-going vessels
to carry boats." The preamble seems to be worked out
n the thirty-eight sections contained in the Act.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS
(An Essay for 1846.)
"Of human ills and 11-antics I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquirld.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sate,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feeling 4
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented nand. By
servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the fl

the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach be health
full period of life allotted to mar.
" How. we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little vsJumes, although bearing upon subjects
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of 1110'2;
curable and general utility, for they tell of matters evefy Cr`"
Lure able t, understand ought to know, but which informaii°" 10
these enligh Ivied times, except that quality promulgated tbr°„"

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truth%t
nature, cf human disappointments and their ways of relief, it itl,e
contended that every r.ader shall become his or her own pl2P,'",c-$;
any more than their own lawye,, `:t it is insisted upon that
should know the simple principles of our own organization, tke
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several bee
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our indivi spd
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health
happiness cl the present and future race of mankind have to rell'ted,
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithflilly IWP~ et
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and haPP'',l
within the attainment of all ; by the avaliment hereof in fnlhi
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages en our °MCI
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the 1
