"Your committee desire to notice the efficient provisions which have been made by this act for the preservation of life and property endangered by casualty and shipwreck. Lifeboats and their crews are in most instances subsidised, and brought into a system of efficiency and order through the medium of the National Lifeboat and other similar institutions; the rocket and mortar apparatus placed along the coast in the hands of the coast-guard has been renewed and re-organised; medals and other rewards are largely given for services in saving life from shipwreck; a legal claim to salvage out of the proceeds of a wreck has been given to persons who save life, and this claim takes precedence of claims for salvage of property. Large powers and duties for protecting wrecked property have been committed to, and are efficiently exercised by, the officers of customs and coast-guard, who thus discharge upon the coast the duties of maritime police; and prosecutions are invariably instituted by the Board of Trade against persons who are detected in plundering wrecks. The details of the working of this part of the act are to be found in the Wreck Register, published annually by the Board of Trade; and your committee have satisfaction in expressing their opinion, that in this respect the Merchant Shipping Act has not only removed the abuses which existed under the former Wreck and Salvage Act, but has been of great service in the protection of property and in the saving of life.

"Your committee cannot conclude this part of their Report without bearing testimony in approbation of the system established in recent years for the examination of masters and mates of merchant ships; a marked improvement is undoubtedly observable in this class of officers, and nearly every witness has concurred in recognising the practical advantages of the system."

every notion that the passenger trade of the country is
falling into the hands of foreigners; but, at the same
time, your committee are sensible that it is of the
greatest importance, that whilst every wise, humane,
and proper provision should be enforced by law to
secure the safety, health, and comfort of passengers
conveyed in ships, vexatious regulations should be
avoided, which tend to hamper unnecessarily the ship-
owner in the prosecution of his business. Any statu-
tory regulation, applicable to British ships only, which,
from the absence of effectual legislative control over
foreign ships, places our shipowners at a disadvantage
in the competition to which they are now subject, is
especially to be avoided, and ought only to be adopted
from overwhelming considerations of public policy, or
with a view to the safety of life and property.
"Your committee have had many complaints laid
before them of several of the provisions of the Merchant
Shipping Act, in cases where that act becomes appli-
cable to steam-ships carrying passengers. It appears
that the Board of Trade does not interfere with cargo
vessels; but if a vessel carries a passenger,' according
to the interpretation clause of the act, the Board of
Trade steps in, and exacts all the requirements specified
by law. One of the witnesses, Mr. Laird, complained
of the qualifications of the Government surveyors, as
compared with those of many of the shipbuilders. An-
other witness made complaints of the spacing of the
bulkheads,' as required by the act, having the effect of
rendering the ship comparatively useless for the pur-
poses of carrying cargo.

"Your committee are unable to make special recom. mendations upon these and many similar matters, and they must refer your Honourable House to the details as set forth in the evidence. The difficulty of legislating upon minute regulations, which seem to bear harshly upon individual cases, whilst in the main they effect the object in view, is so obvious, that, except in regard to iron vessels, which deserve greater attention from their comparative novelty, your committee are of opinion that only such changes should be effected as experience may prove desirable. With regard to iron vessels, and the general duties of the surveyors, your committee think the discretionary power of the Board of Trade, as limited by law, may be trusted in the framing of the requisite instructions to guide the officers under the control of that department; but your com

framed to meet the great improvements which are constantly taking place both as regards construction and equipment.

(To be continued).

10. Passenger Act, and Chinese Passenger Act. "The objections raised by many of the witnesses respecting the liabilities incurred under the Passenger Act of 1855 have been frequently so confused with complaints of various provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, that your committee, having stated their opinion respecting the owner's liability in cases of loss of life, need not recur to that point. Your committee must, however, remark, that the allegation, that the liabilities to which the British shipowner is subjected under the terms of the two before-mentioned acts have had the effect of throwing a large portion of the pas-mittee are of opinion that those instructions should be senger trade into the hands of foreigners, is disproved by the evidence of the chairman of the Emigration Board, and of the assistant secretary of the Board of Trade, who demonstrate that since the first extensive Passenger Act, in 1852, the per centage of British ships conveying passengers to the United States, as well as the number of steerage passengers, have exhibited a marked increase, instead of a diminution, as alleged. An opinion founded upon the returns of one port alone, viz. Liverpool, has led to some misconception. The Americans at all times possessed a preponderating share of the passenger trade from Liverpool to the United States, but the share they acquired from its commencement has not increased. It is shewn further that the richer class of passengers, who formerly went in United States ships, now cross the Atlantic in British steamers; and, in fact, British capital and perseverance have acquired a predominance in that branch of the passenger trade which was formerly carried on by a very fine class of American sailing vessels, known familiarly as the "liners." In emigrant ships, which carry poor passengers to all parts, the relative tonnage has increased from 350,000 tons British against 470,000 tons foreign in 1853, to 280,000 tons British against 240,000 foreign in 1859, and the proportion of passengers carried in British ships has increased correspondingly.

The returns put in by the Board of Trade dispel
