It does not seem unlikely that they should meditate upon a littie “here to-day and gone to-morrow” friendship and handshaking; and stronger than the démentis of the Kreuz Zeitung are the rumors that some time in July or August, not only King William and Emperor Na- poleon, but also Czar Alexander will have a ren- dezvous at Potadam. Such a peaceable prospect—the sweetest manna for the people on Change—is fondly accepted and so firmiy believed in that on ita strength quotations keep rising, though the “bears” circulate a recent saying of Count Bismarck to his diplomatic colleagues;—“Within forty-eight hours & war might be upon us.” Another.temark made the day before yesterday by Bismarck im the Zoll Parlia- Ment, at the debate on the Austrian commerciat treaty, to the effect that “an appeal to-fear finds no response in German hearts,” is turned to advantage by the pessimists; and even the offictal Gazette in- terprets it as foreboding trouble, adding the remark to it:s—“If German liberty and power have to be defended on the other side of the Rhine, we shall be found firm and loyal; we then wil! speak with deeds.’ The last bon mot reported of the Count has reference to the Zoll Parliament it- self. ‘It is au egg of my own laying,” he said; “if it should prove addled I'll crush it.’” If at the time of saying this the good Count doubt- ed the sweetness of his egg he will now be convinced of it, for the Zoll Parliament, though agreeing to all the reductions of the tartif as proposed by the govern- ment, has refused not only the new duty on tobacco, but that on petroleum also. The duty intended on the import of the lattce was one-ha)f thaler per liun- dredweizlt. In the provisions of the bili the govern- me@kt assumes the average amount of import to be one million hundredweights per annum, thus yield- ing a revenue of 600,000 thalers, But in the debate tt was shown that, taking as a basis the returns of the last quarter of 1867, the Import for the present ye 700,000 hundredweights, and that the yteld of revenue, after the beneilt of petroleum woul:t be ponents dwelt upon the injustice of heightening Ut price of a commodity chiefly used by the laboring and poor classes, who alone would be the suf- it was ‘argued, too, that some day intted States, saddicd with a he might put some — restrictions ni States would just! titled to ¢ be singled ont tirs ‘oletin free from export Herr Delbi tick, of the Bund Chance Department, endeavored to show. that grosches daty per hundred weight, or one-third of a per pound, would be felt: by nob: he 1 returns,’ he said, “show great ductuations tn pf petroleum.” 5, it was lO a thalers per hundred weight; in November, 17 thalers; January, 1860, 3 & 14 thalers; August, i a 12 thaters; Decimber, 8 thalers; June, i867, 617 ‘tual ers; Deceinber, 1867, 7 & 74¢ thalers, and with snc ups and downs in the price a small duty would not be able to Jessen the couzamption, Touching npon direct duties, which the opposition " ded, he ‘did not believe that (he united gr aceept that advice, aud finished by threatening tho the whole tariff bill, including the reductions, would be withdrawn ifthe petroleum duty was rejected, i the debate which ensued the advantage dently on the side of (ie opponents to duty leum, who did pot disdain puns on the al enormous taxation of light (Intellectual light r In July, 1860 ing from the political press) in We laud of Intaligence par excellence, Deputy Brann (Wiesbaden) inquired why the Zoll Parliament, such oa tender shoot, should be made responsible for the odinm of such a «uty. i another Deputy (Herr Mott, from Wirtembery) did not wish a duly on oxen, 98% he international regard duc irom zeriand.

Fully, and it is thought effectively, has it been demonstrated of the utter uselessness of boats stowed aloft on vessels; of their utter ine Mciency to safely carry a tithe of the terror-stricken and fren- zied. passengers in many vessels in cases of accident or alarm; of the character of life preservers and their inconvenient and at times inaccessible positions; of buckets, hose, axes, 4&c., all in such shameless disre- gard of the laws of the United States relative to a Fegulation .of the steam sleet of the land, too often rendered a farce by incompetent or negligent inspectors.. Further, it has been clearly noted what the “Steamboat act of 1852’ means when it is point- edly ordered that the men upon whom the public rightly rely, that ill fitted vessels shall not be per- mitted to pass their surveillance without condemna- tion, must “examine and see that suitable and safe provisions are made throughout such vessel toguard against loss and danger from ire; and it nas been shown also how inefficiently at times they have performed responsible duties, It has been suggested during the discussion of this sub- ject how religiously should be the mode in which inspectors carried out the just quoted section re- garding fire,an element in wo many instances the worst terror of the ocean. ‘There was such @ lack of discrimination observ- able in numberless cases of inspection that it sug- gested incompetency and unfaithfulmess, to say nothing worse. ‘hus it was why, in addition to the life-sav’ ng appllances of many vessels, too often negatived by thetr location, &c., it was noted what the law suggested and what it requied to fully fit a vessel against being fired. ‘The inspectors and the public were informed that in the con- struction of boliers with internal furnaces, or the | ordinary marine boiler, they should primarily have water bottoms to guard against the communi- cation of fire or sparks through insecure openings, such as furnaces, ash pits, doors, simoke pipe joints, ash doors, &¢.; that boilers with external furnaces similar to many in use should be supported by iron standards alone, and that the sheet or plate iron witich encloses the work about them should be “ac- rately titted; that it is criminal in its nataré to use blowers under any circumstances to aid dranght, and‘if the public was fuliy aware of the risk of lite incurred in their patronage of vesseis thus fitted tie abandonment of them would be universal. It was further and at length noted that the insecur- ity of the protection contiguous to boilers, end in many instances its fotal neglect, was so criminally apparent, ufter so-called thorough mspection by liberally salaried officials, thay it were aligostin the nature of a mina that death and deso- lation did not more frequently ensue by the burning of passenger vessels, It has also beeh referred to thac pumps of an independent bature, steam, fire and bilge, were repeatedly omitted in vessels of large capacity; und dnaily, in this repetition of tacts made clear on the subject matter, have been dcemonatrated the great economy, the eifective precaution, and one recognized by competent engineers, of felting boliers. ‘This recapitulation of the numerous causes of fire on board steam vessels and of the imperfect means to prevent or arrest them shown at ihe same time ds essentially nocessary, that the public may not for- get toa great extent the inadequate provisions too frequentiy noted to guard against fire on board steam vessels, that they may lay af the duors of those re- sponsible the evidently growing evil to combine cheapness and insecurity in the building and run- ning of such.

TUF STEAM PLEBT OF DOSTON—VESS#IS VISITED. * Carrying out as far as practicable the avowed. pure pose When the subject matter of this and previously submitted! urticles were announced, and aiter exten sive journeying about the docks of New York to visit and examine such steam vessels as were thon in port in order to note how far they complied with the United States laws, the port of Boston was sei¢cled to make investigations of the same character. Boston seems not to be in the most fourishing coumnercial condition, as after perilous peregrina- tions about its basin'like docks it revealed @ very dull condition of trade, so far as that pertaining to steam vessels was concerned. Its encl piers in many instances were silent as those of-a de- serted cily, yet here and there activity was diseerni- ble, but the exhibition of It was exceptional. In East Boston matters were also extremely duu, the lers about the high-sounding locality of Grand Junction being dead to trade, occupied alone by boys amusing themselves with the innocent juvenile game green of see-saw, while grass had sent its keen blades between the planking, giving promise at ne distant day, if harvested, of a liberal crop of hay. But few yeasels were found, and those that the offl- cera in charge allowed to be examined will be found herewith;:— ‘The Jobn Brooks, Bostou. to Portland, of 1,012 tons, her certificate advises, has 400 feet of hose, seventy- two buckets, five boats, two axes and 360 life pre- servers in staterooms and berths, Respecting the hose, # portion of thig,was only scen after a vi search, and the balance may have been on Thirty-five buckets only were noted, t being on the upper deck, a location imprect ot easy access, It is not known whether the number of axes Was correctly given on certificate, but the few seen were Inadequate fora vessel of her requirements and route, Four of the boats were on the deck—a bad tocation In case of ai alarm—and = one on the — hurricane without lowering apparatus.
