THE STEAMBOAT Law oF 1862.

In 1852, Congress passed alaW providing for the
better security Of the lives of passengers on board
vessels propelled in whole or in part by steam.
The law divided the Union into nine districts; and
appointed supervising inspectors whose dutyit should
be to promote the objects contemplated by the law.
The inspectors were to meet yearly as board for
the purpose Of consultation, comparing notes. reVs-
ing their rules, and forming such new regulations
as they deemed necessary or eIpedient. Their last
meeting was held at Louisville, Ky, in October last,
and their report has just been sent in to the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury.
They state that during the FIVE years preceding
the passage Of the law, the number Of steamboat
accidents was fifty, and the number Of lives lost
one thousand one hundred and fifty five. In the
Eve years subsequent to its passage the number Of
accidents has been seven, and the lives lost one
hundred and thirtywo So at least says asyuopss Of
the report given in the Washington Union But We
imagine there have been more than seven steam
boat accidents on American waters within the five
years ending in October last The board DO not sp-
prove Of either inflated or tin lifepreservers and
will not recognize them as meeting the requirements
uf the law. They deem cork jacket life prsservers
as very valuable and reliable at all times. They
nave instructed the local board in fitting out new
steamers, not TO pass life Preservers filed with
cork shsvings or cuttings, bat to require q cork
jacket to be placed board for each person that the
steamer can accommodate. The board had eEsmin.
Cd the patent detachable deck saloon cabin p did
not think it would furnish positive security upon
rough sea; but properly proportional and ballasted
could be useful when vessels sunk in smooth
