We notice that the new Merchant Ship- ping. Bill carefully provides for the increased safety of the arews and passen. gers of ships, and it will therefore meet with the hearty approval of all oxcept the selfish few who to save their own pockets are willing to risk the lives and property of their employés, We have not a copy of the bill in its entirety, our knowledge of its contenta being confined to the extensive abstracts which have appeared in Mitchell's Maritime Register and other home journals. We are there fore unable to say whether additionally tringent regulations are impceed upon mercantile Masters regarding a matter - which is becoming notorious in Hong kong the proper condition of standing and running rigging. So far as we are aware, if a ship arrives without accident, or the necessity for a survey from da mage incurred on the voyage, she is at perfect liberty to load and depart without any enquiry being made into the state of her rigging. Her lower shrouda may be fit only for paperstuff, the foot ropes of her yarde stranded, her hallarda as full of splices asa fel is of bones; but ao long as she has escaped serions accident nothing is said, and we be lieve nothing can be done under exist ing regulations in this Colony. Wo can give the names of vessels which have come into port and left port again with their rigging in the state we do soribe. One in particular which wa recall had some thirteen splices in ber

780 pieces and 20 packages Iron Wars, the ship generally was disgraceful. The crew refused duty when she arrived in harbor, but none of them alleged tha real cause of complaint. It is possible that this was owing to the sailors' instine tive dislike to make what he considers so serious an accusation against his captain, But whatever the cause, we know of our own knowledge that this was one of the Causes of complaint, though not stated in Court, and we saw with our own eyes that the coniplaint was well-founded.
But there is another class interested in the proper equipment of vessels who seem to us to grievously neglect their own interest the marle ingatance office.
