Deck Loads.—At the Trade Congress, at Newcastle, Mr. Fitzpatrick, of Liverpool, moved a resolution to the effect that the Merchant Shipping Act was a step in the right direction, but Inadequate as a final settlement of the question, and protesting against the omission of the,deck load clause by the Mouse of Lords—expressing a hope that Mr. Blimsoll would seek to amend'ffie law, arid make deck cargoes illegal. Mr, Blimsoll, M.P., heartily concurred In the spirit of the resolution, saying that the Act seemed to be weak in..most of -its -parts, but it was tbeir duty to get as much good out ol it .as .they could rather than bemoan Its deficiencies. It appeared that overloading could notJie'sufficiently dealt with, for the load line was placed in a position subject to the owner’s wishes, and this was not an efficient mode of - dealing with the mischief. —Rektew. ' An incident which occurred in , the Julia Percy s last trip from Warrriambool is causing considerable discussion in Sydney, • Yesterday morning, abonthalfpast twelve o’clock, when she was off Apollo Bay .with the Cape Otway light in sight, a sudden ahock was. felt, and the second mate,'who was in charge at the time, at once stopped the engines. Several passengers were thrown out of their berths and received contusions, and for a time considerable alarm was felt. This was increased by the conduct of the crew, who set a bad example, the firemen rushing on deck, and the covers being ripped off the lifeboats by .the sailors as if there was imminent danger. Under the circumstances the passengers were naturally, excited, but they Were soon reassured. On Captain Andrews coming on deck, he was sati.fied that the vessel was in a safe positlon.’sufficiently fat from the shore to be free from danger or rocks, and he ordered the engines - to be put on. The Julia then went ahead at full speed, having, been stopped in all for five or six minutes Various explanations are offered of theshock sustained. That given by the captain Is, that the Julia was struck by a heavy sea or “ blind roller," and this derives countenance from the fact that she arrived in Warmambool in excellept time, making no water, and went on to the other western ports, b-ing reported to have sustained no Injury. Some of the passengers, however, are firmly convinced that she struck something solid,.and-various-surmises are afloat as to her having strnck a piece of floating wreck, or touched on a reef, -At Belfast she was reported aa haring been struck by a heavy sea. There, was a high sea at the time, with a strong' head wind: and the light Of the steamer Otway was seen astern when the incident occurred.— lVarrnamboolStandard, Nov. io. , , ’.. .
