PILOTAGE NEW BILL,

A bill is now before the House of Commons for the Extension
of the French System of Centralisation to Pilotage. In the 6th
year of the reign of George the Fourth, an actwas passed which
gave to the Trinity House of Deptford Stroud, authority "to
appoint sub-comniissioners of pilotage to any port or place in
England, except within the liberty of the Cinque Ports, and all
other ports or place, for which particular provision shall have
been made by any act or acts of parliament, or by any charter
or charters for the appointment of pilots." The present bill
extends the authority of the Trinity House of Deptford Stroud
to all ports and places, except as is pointed out in the following
clause:—

" Provided always, and be it enacted, that no such Commis
sioners be appointed' by the said corporation, either for any
port or district being at the time of the passing this act in mat-
ters of pilotage, within the jurisdiction of the Court of Load-
manage of the Cinque Ports, or for the Ports of Hull, New-
castle or Leath respectively, but that from the commencement
of the operation of this act the said court of Load-manage, or
such and so many persons being members thereof as the same
court shall from time to time appoint in that behalf, shall be
the Commissioners of Pilotage for the respective ports or dis-
tricts so being within the jurisdiction of that court; and the
corporations of the Trinity House of the ports of Hull, New-
castle and Leith respectively, or such as many persons being
members of the said corporations respectively as they shall from
time to time respectively appoint in that behalf, shall be the
Commissioners of Pilotage for the said last-mentioned ports res-
pectively; and the said Court of Load-manage and Corpora-
tions respectively sball have such and the,same powers of re-
moving any commissioners appointed by them as aforesaid, and
of filling up any vacancies which may occur in the office of
commissioners for the said ports respectively, as are by this
act vested in the said corporation in Trinity House of Deptford
Stroud with respect to commissioners to be appointed by them."

"England," the Temps •observes, is a vast manufactory, a
great laboratory, a universal counting-house. France is a r►ch
farm tending to turn itself into a manufactory. Germany is an
ill cultivated field, because they are philosophers and not pea-
sants who till it. Southern Italy is a villa in ruins. Northern
Italy:is an artificial prairie. Belgium is a forge. Holland is a
canal. 'Sweden and Denmark are carpenters' yards. Poland
is a sandy heath. Russia is an ice-house. Switzerland is a
chalet. Greece is a field in a state of nature. Turkey is a field
fallow. India is a gold mine. Egypt is a workshop for appren—
tices. Africa is a furnace. Algiers is a nursery ground. Asia
is a grove. The Antilles are sugar refineries. South America
is a store. North America is a till full; Spain is a till empty."
