The National Steamship Company. The question war whether a ship could escape liability for negligence on contracts made abroad because sach contract exempted the ablp from liability for negligence, The decision bol is that the ship cannot escape ability because of such a con- tract, and this therefore pats the levelge ship on the same basis as domestic vessels have been for a long time in respect to this kind of liability. This paint of marine law is a very important one, both to shippers and to the owners of

under Section 4 of the Amended Morphine Ordinance, to a fine not exceeding $50 or to Imprisonment with or without bard labour not exceeding two months. Can anything be more absurd and ridiculous? Surely any person may farcish himself with a hypodermie syringe for the purpose of injecting quinine, or for injecting any preservative fluid into a butterfly or any

There can be no doubt now that the Morphine Ordinance was the daicome of the letter dated 34th May last, from the Oplum Faim to Mr. N. G. Mitchell Inner, complaining of the decreased sale of prepared oplam through the opiam smokers resorting to the injection of morphine In order to dally save a few cents to provide themselves or their family with better food and ledgings.

The London Editor of the Irish Daily Inde fondent writes as follows :---

bill of lading to recover for lajarles to
certain bales of hair shipped in London on board the steamship Shain and transported therein to the port of New York. The evidence abowed that the hair was damaged on the voyage by the gas and odour from barrels of ate over which it wi stowed. The bills of lading were originally given for transportation by the steamship Greece, but the goods were left over from that vessel for the Spain. The hill of lading provided in terms for exemption from liability for damage, loss injury arising from stowage or contact with, or smell or evaporation from other goods, whether caused by negligence, default or error in judgment of any persons in the service of the shipowner. It also contained a clause stating that the shipper expressly agreed that the contract should be governed by the law of the flag of the ship carrying the goods. In bis decision, Judge
Benedict says
By the law of England such provision in a bli! of lading relieves the shipowner from the lability sued for. And the question is whether or no such provision can be enforced In the courts of the United States. It has been established by the Supreme Court of the United States that a provision which exempts the carrier from damage caused by negligence is vold and will not be enforced, because contrary to pubic policy. And my plafon is that the principle fald down by the Supreme Court in Oseantan vi Arms Company, 103 U.S., 261, requires this court to decline to enforce such a provision in this bill of lading notwithstanding the bil of leding was lanfal by the law of the place acre the goods were shipped. Siipulations held vid States are not made valid by the stipulations of the parties. The libelant must have a decree, with an order of reference to ascertain the damages,"

seeing the country. Indeed it is pretty safe to say that at the bands of the King of Siam be received such marks of distinction and kindness as had never before been accorded to a foreigner visiting Bangkok by the Slamere. All of us here remember the dazzling descriptions which were given by Mr. Norman of the country of his Majesty the King, and of the Court. The accounts, which can he found in the old files of the Pall Mall Gasstie, read like the version which Marco Polo gave of hie reception by the Emperor of China, which astonished our ancestors at a time when the Far East was a terra incegnila to all the countries of Europe. The fame of the reception which was accorded to the correspondent roached here, and we learned that Mr. Norman had obtained a vain able mining concession from the Kin, and bad started on the back of an elephant to visit the property which had been placed at his disposal by his Majesty of Bam. All this hospitality and kindness on the part of the occupant of the Siamese throne to the envoy of Mr. Stead would at all events seem to have charity of silence * entitled his Majesty to the with regard to what the Siamese call the Kang Nat, but which we in these countries call the inside detalls of public personages' private ilves. Mr. Norman seems to regard it as arrible enormity that the King of Slam was married to a half sister.

DIVING DOWN dfep.
From time to time a controversy crops up in the papers as to what depth a diver can descend, or bow deep a diver has gone down and worked at the ottom of the sea. Some few months ago British vessel was sunk at the Canaries. She has go,coo in treasure in her hold and a recent press dispatch from London states that no diver can be found to go as low as twenty-three fathers, the depth of water in which the vessel lles, to secure the treasure. In this coon ction the following liens in veterated Vos deporte diving picked up by a Commercial News reporter will prove of interest. A prominent merchant of San Francisco who is Interested in shipping stated that in 1869 he was an apprentice of board the British ship Cafe Horn, Captalo Mackay, which went from Valparaiso to a small place called Pich!dangi on the West coast and from there's iled with a cargo consisting of wheat and 700 tons of pare copper in bars. Shortly after leaving the vessel struck on a rock off Lobos island that was wrongly marked on the chart, and leaking badly was abandoned by the crew, having then thirteen feet of water in her hold. After the crew left the ship headed for the island, where she struck, rebounded and sunk. The captain pulled around the place where she was supposed to have tank sad dropping a lead with tallow attached picked up wheat and located the wre-k in forty fathoms of water. He sent word to the owners in England who dispatched a steamer in command of Captain Kemp, who is well known in San Francico as master of the Eri ish ship Nereus, to try and salve the copper. A competent diver was sent on the stormer. When the steamer arrived at the wreck the diviz made one descent and saved either three or five bars of copper. He com- plained of feeling ill from the presure at forty fathoms when he returned to the surface, bat determined to make one more descent. He did so, but quickly gave the signal to be hauled up. He was taken out and died a few hours after wards. Captain Henry Bingham, the well knowa stevedore, was there at the time. The trip abandoned and the balance of the copper is yet at the bottom of the sea. Chris. Jenser, an experienced young diver, who is well known here and who stayed down four hours at a time at the wreck of the Elisabeth, informed the reporter that the lowest he has yet been is eighteen and a half fathoms. He says that the sensation when going down deep is terrible and that he would under no circumstances go deeper than twenty fathoms. He relates that when he
