·MERCANTILE MARINE NEWS.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST LASCARS. The Seamen's Union in England have been agitating against Laurer competition, and have moved in the direction of extending accommoda- tons for Lascareon shipboard. An amendment in the Indian Merchant Shipping Act for this purpose has been laid before the Legislative Council of Indle, where t'i proposal bas met with strenuous opposition. Experience bas shown that from three to four laxcars are to do the work of two Furopean salfors; and Fare required ince the

an-gested increase of space would involve

considerable structural alterations and a considerable loss of passenger and cargo accommodation, it is probable that the passage of the proposed amendment would exclete Indian saltare from entployment on sem-golag | vessels. It la nointed out that any farther attempt to drive the Lascar from the high seas will arouse a storm of opposition In Indle not tess formidable than the ogitation against the exclusion of the co'tan duties.

CERTIFICATED INDIÁNS,

The Straits Maritime Journal menilons that certificated natives of India, who know BÓ English and bardly any Malay, are finding emplayment as masters or mates on board focal steamers. That Journal doubts if those men have the legal right to act as officers. In any other than Indian waters, and dwells upon the danger of allowing them to bold appointments on shipboard In the Colony.
