THE NEW STEAM-VESSEL RE-

GUL ATIONS.

On Saturday the Committee of Aldermen assembled
at Guildhall for the purpose of hearing objections to
the proposed by-law' for the regulation of the steam-
vessels.

Besides the several gentlemen who appeared on the
previous Saturday on behalf of the steam-vessels, Mr.
Cruden attended and represented the Star Gravesend
Steam-vessel Company, and the other companies were
also represented. The Lord Mayor was in the chair.
Mr. CRUDEN objected to the second by-law, which
gave to the Watermen's Company the power of be-
coming the owners of several steam-vessels. The
Star Company, he said, most emphatically submitted
that it was never contemplated by the Watermen's
Act to give such authority to the Watermen's Com-
pany. They were wholly unfit for the exercise of
such authority from their total ignorance of steam
navigation, and from the prejudice which their interests
excited against the new power. It was distinctly un-
derstood, when the Act was brought in, several years
ago, that steam-vessels were to be excluded from its
operation, so that there appeared to be no rational
ground for supposing that the power which was de-
nied to the Watermen's Company at that period should
be conceded to them now.

The LORD MAYOR said, that upon looking at the
powers which the Court of Aldermen possessed, they
did not think 'it necessary to apply to Parliament at
all, and they had no notion of doing so. They had
a right to frame certain regulations for the protection
of the public. The proprietors had surely no reason
to complain, for hitherto they had had it all their own
way ; they went as rapidly, and carried as many as
they pleased through the river; and the time had
arrived when the advantages they had taken of the
power they supposed they possessed must be checked.
As to the Watermen's Company, it would be for the
Court of Aldermen to decide upon the propriety of
allowing them to be agents.
Mr. CRUDEN respectfully urged the necessity of
getting rid of the interference of the Watermen's
Company.
Alderman IlumrnEßr said that Mr. Cruden evi-
dently was of opinion that the Watermen's Company
was wholly incapable of judging between the small
craft in the river and the great power of steam which
had risen up, and that the Watermen's Act was never
framed in contemplation of the existence of such an
authority in such a body. He (Aldermen Humphery)
was convinced that some of the Watermen's Company
knew nothing about steam navigation.
Sir J. PIRIE said there was no doubt whatever of
that fact; neither was there any doubt that the Wa-
termen's Company must have a feeling against steam •
vessels.

The LORD MAYOR said, the first question to be de-
cided was, whether the regulations proposed were
proper regulations ? The next was, who would be
the proper parties to carry them into effect ? He
wished to know from Mr. Cruden whether he con-
sidered the regulations in themselves objectionable ?
Mr. CRUDEN said the Star Company took their
stand upon the objection to the Watermen's Company
as agents in carrying out the regulations altogether,
and they could not take any steps till that com?any
was altogether repudiated. He spoke with all respect
to the Committee, from whom he had received much
kindness and respectful treatment. If the Committee
would propose to them a code of regulations, wholly
independent of the agency to which they objected,
they would at once proceed to the consideration of
them, and he entertained no doubt that the result
would be most satisfactory.
Sir JOHN PIRIE said he saw very plainly that the
objections of'Mr. Cruden comprehended the two great
points in question—the speed and the over-crowding.
After some discussion the Committee determined to
decide upon the objections which had been made on
the last day of meeting, on Thursday next.

STATE OF TRADE.—We do not remember at any
time greater activity in the principal branches of manu-
factures than there exists at present, except when that
activity has been of a speculative and feverish character.
Throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire, in the Cotton,
Woollen, Worsted, Flax, Linen, Silk, Cutlery, and
Machine-making businesses, trade is lively, and we be-
lieve all hands are employed. The poor-rates are, of
course, exceedingly relieved. If we should be blessed
with a good harvest there is every prospect of another
year of prosperity. And here we have another proof of
the connexion between prosperity and cheap food. At
present there is the prospect of an abundant harvest.—

MANAGEMENT OF INFANT CHILDREN.—Friday
Mr. G. I. Mills held an inquest at the Cock, Brook-street,
New-road, on the body of William Joseph Mott, aged eight
weeks, the illegitimate child of Sarah Mott, 'a young servant
out of place, residing with her mother, at No. 20, Fitzroy-
place. The child was born healthy, and continued so for a
month, when it became cross and convulsed, and its grand-
mother, who had the chief care of it, began to give it small
doses of gin and water, wine, and syrup of rue and oil of
almonds. These liquids afforded temporary ease to the child,
but destroyed its appetite, and it died on Saturday night
last, having refused the breast and every sort of food for
the or fonr days previously. A medical man was only once
consulted, about tan days before the child died. The grand-
mother of the child considered her knoWleaaP of the treat-
ment of children equal to that of any doctor, and iheretore
did not think the aid of any one necessary.- " The grace of
God," site said, " and nothing else, caused the death of the
child." Mr. Mills said that giving the child gin and water
and wine, was only keeping up the disease; aqd though the
grandmother thought she was a sufficiently good doctor, her
treatment of the deceased child proved the reverse. There
were many dispensaries, and plenty of surgeons, whereby
advice could be obtained at yery little charge, and he thought
it strange that the relatives of deceased had not taken advan-
tage of them. He cli4 not think the case one criminating
any person, but it would have been amelt more §atia4Ctory
if a doctor had been consulted within some days of the child's '
death. Verdict--" ,Natural death."
