Tho Italian Government is contemplating a revolutionary measure in connection with merchant shipping—namely, to work nndor djrect State control tlio mail linos from Naples to Palermo, Naples lo Messina, ami Civifa Ycecliia (o Sardinia. It is proposed to talco boats tinder time-charter when the present contract expires at the end of next year, and gradually to build the most, suitable kind of ship. There is likely to be onposition lo this scheme (jays an exchange), but. tho Government makes much of the rather specious argument that these lines will bo really n continuation of tho Stale-owned railways. During tho voyage of the I!.M.S. Corintliic from Capetown lo Ilobart two vessels were spoken. On April 8, in lat. 56.15 S. and lons. 13.28 E., (Jio steamer Buteshire, London (February 27) for Brisbane, was signalled, and wished to ho reported nil well.
