MERCIIANT SEAM EN.-There are seventeen provi-
sions in the Act pamed on the Bth inst., for the protection of
seamen entering on board merchant ships. It seems that the
seamen of this kingdom (according to the preamble of the Act)
have been for several years past subjected to grievous imposi-
tions and great injustice by certain persons who have under-
taken to procure seamen to enter on board merchant ships who
had no interest in the same. It is now provided that, from
the Ist of September next, the Hoard of Trade shall license
persons to hire, engage, or provide seamen on board merchant
ships, which license shall be revocable by the same authority.
From the day mentioned :ao person is to engage seamen for
the merchant service, except those authorised, nor are persons
connected with the vessels, who have power to hire, to receive
men from other than the persons licensed, under penalties de-
tailed. Persons are not to be permitted on board merchant
vessels before their arrival in the dock, or at the place of dis-
charge of the cargo, without permission. A penalty is to be
enforced against persons soliciting sailors to become lodgers in
houses of unlicensed persons, or in removing their effects from
on board. There is also a provision to prevent sailors being
charged a larger sum than due, as also to prevent the detention
of their money or effects. These provisions show that sailors
require great protection to be afforded them. The Act, with
the exception of the licenses to be granted, is to commence on
the Ist of November next.
