SIR,-I have the honor to transmit for your

papers, the accompanying copy of an Order of
Her Majesty in Council of the 9th instant,
for the purpose of allowing the Distilling
Apparatus of Mr. Gravely, as well as that of

Ships.

I have, &c.,
NEWCASTLE.

Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.,
&c., &c., &c.,

At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight,
the 9th day of January, 1863,
Present:-

The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS by "the Passengers Act,
1855," it is amongst other things en-
acted, that before any passenger ship shall be
cleared out, the emigration officer at the port of
clearance shall satisfy himself that there is on
board a sufficient quantity of pure water,
carried in tanks or casks, to secure throughout
the intended voyage the issue of three quarts
daily to each statute adult, for the use of the
passengers, exclusive of the quantity required
for cooking.

And whereas it is also enacted, that it shall
be lawful for Her Majesty, by any Order in
Council, to prescribe such rules and regulations
as to Her Majesty may seem fit, for permitting
the use on board passenger ships of an appara-
tus for distilling water, and for defining, in such
case, the quantity of fresh water to be carried
in tanks or casks for the passengers, and such
Order in Council from time to time to alter,
amend, and revoke, as occasion may require.

And whereas Her Majesty, by Orders in
Council, dated, respectively, the sixth day of
May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-
seven, and the thirteenth day of May, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, pre-
scribed certain rules for permitting the use on
board passengers ships propelled by (steam
engines of a certain power, and on board
passenger ships propelled by sails, of a certain
apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt
water.

And whereas it is expedient to repeal the
said Order in Council that relates to passenger
ships propelled by sails, and to issue in lieu
thereof the Order hereinafter contained.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty doth, by, and
with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in
pursuance and in exercise of the authority
vested in Her by the said "Passengers Act,
1855," hereby repeal the said Order in Council
of the thirteenth day of May, one thousand
eight hundred and fifty-nine, and order as fol-
lows:-

Any passenger ship propelled by sails only,
or by steam engines of less power than is
sufficient, without the aid of sails, to propel the
ship at the rate of five statute miles an hour
may be cleared out and proceed on her voyage,
having on board, in tanks or casks, only half
