Ta a preliminary article on Mr. Chamberlain's new Merchant Shipping Bill, the Shipping and Mercantile Gasette remarks that ita provisions will require the most careful and rigorous oxi- mination, anil the washing changes it proposes will, if pormitted, siriously injure anderwriters. who are not propared to act on the assumption of Mr. Chamberlain that all men are regtes. T prohibition to insure promiums pi innranee in one of the most objectionable features of this re portion of the bill. If a shipowner prys £3,000 to insure a vessel worth £30,000 or £40,000, why should this portion of his capital bh unpretacted S any more than the capital spent on the ship it saf! The object of insurance is to enable a m to keep his capital intant, or nearly so, but Mr. Chamberlain proposes to protect some of it, a To to leave the rest totally unprotected. This clause, if adopted, would tempt all shipowners Lot, to insure at all and would compel all of them to out down their insurances to a point far below that of sloty. This means the certain loss of large amounts of capital, and a consequent diminution of thus volums of trade, u result which, In many other respects, this bill is eminently calculated to produce.
