(fl® the Deily Nova) THE Mercantile Marine Act of last Session (13 and 1 I Virr. e. 93), as we had anticipated, does nut turn out to be a eery ow.vessful piece of legislation; at least so far as present experience goes. The Board of Trade, to which by the statute the strange duty of the " general superintendence" of that marine was assigned, has appointed its " two pnyer persons," at Mint a year each, to assist it in those duties, and a staff of officers, clerks, and ocr rants under them; it has also prepared its multi farious forme," tiled its curious " fees," issued its elaborate "instructions," and assumed the task of registration. The Local Boards" have been elected by the great "foreign going ports;" the "Shipping Offices" have been constituted; in short, the act has fur 111,1111' time been in full swing. And the first fruits of the measure is a general strike amongst the seamen of the northern ports. It was on the Tyne that this movement began. On the banks of that river strikes are by no meats uncommon. Only, however, at long and distant inter vals amongst its seamen. Far more frequently amongst its pitmen. On the present occasion it commented with a dispute between masters and men about wager. The tine winter hes seriously depressed the coul. and nemsarilv the curving trade; the consumption of fuel by this metropolis alone having, it is calculated. fallen during the last two months quite 111.0011 tons a week beneath the ordinary con sumption of this season of the year. Thisdecreased con gumption. of course, diminished the demand for ship pin g and freights; lessened the employment and lowered the wages of seamen. They resisted the operation of the law of supply and demand. As usual with work people, ineffectually. But one complaint, even though averted, leads to another; and the seamen of the Tyne, foiled in their attempt to keep up wages, took to expressing their dislike of the new legislation of the Board of Trade; and with, as we shall see, some mason. At Ant the movement was confined to the two Sbieldses and their satellite ports. But grievances, real sr fictitious, are infectious. The Board of Trade, notwithstanding its duty of "general superinten dence," instead of ut once interposing, looked curi ously on. The Wear thereupon next sympathised,svith the Tyne; the sailors of Sunderland and its adjacent Plin responded to their class further north. The Humber became uneasy; and Hull joined the move ment. The Board of Tiede then began to be seriously alarmed, and sent Captain Begcliei, one of its "pro p* Moons," down to North Shields. Somewhat late. For Liverpool seems to have caught the infec tion ; and from distant Peterhead, in the north of Aberdeenshire, the whalers arc to be heard clamour ing against the statute in that ease made and pro vided. It 14, of course, very deplorable to we a great trade disturbed in thin way ; for the mode in whiclithe seamen arc manifesting their dislike of the provisions of an Act, which, with all its faults, was sincerely intended for their benefit, is open to all the ordinary and irresistible objections applicable to strikes and combinations of workpeople ; objections which were so forcibly stated the other day in Mr. COOPER'S case, by that eminent master of good sense, Chief Justice Cvmeina.L. But this admitted; these outbreaks do not, we must add, surprise us ; for they are very much attributable to the precipi tancy and the eagerness with which the Board of Trade legislated on a subject about which it was obviously ill informed, and would not listen to those who knew better, and warned it accordingly. Nevertheless the British seaman, with professional qualities and capabilities unrivalled, is an ignorant, in subordinate, and suspicious fellow. Down to the lost session of parliament he was not subject when afloat to any proper discipline, and in the coasting trade to little competent or morally responsible command. He had been patted and protected and made much of by legislation, until his insubordination and general bad conduct was jeopardising the maritime reputation and profits of England. Of late years, seamen had, too, been made the objects of several philanthropic and sentimental experiments by the Board of Trade; these, of course, they did not understand; and, not understanding, grew alarmed at and were teased by. With minds and old associations unsettled, and gene rally indixposedtoconfidenee,theNavigationLawswers repealed ; that repeal Jack, in his deplorable igno rance, believed, as his owner, assured him, was meant to take the bread out of his and put it into the fo reigner's mouth. And before he had recovered from this fright, the act of last session came upon him. The act was well meant; it aimed at raising the character of the mercantile marine by insuring a higher class of masters and mates, by protecting sea men against crimping and other frauds, and by en forcing discipline at sea: all admirable objects. But it proposed to do this in a meddlesome, fussy, costly • and indiscriminate way: trying to force sailors ut lonce into habits of order ; not gradually weaning them from habits of disorder. And it was unse- companied by several other measures absolutely necessary to render it popular with either owners, skippers, or sailors. The statute contained many provisions for which sailors ought to be most thankful ; it gave to Advance Notes fur wages a legal character, which ensures their being cashed without the usu rious assistance of crimps ; it provided for the better accommodation of seamen on the long voyage, fur their proper food and for due medical attendance; and these are provisions which it is very ungrateful in seamen to overlook or to de preciate. On the other baud, it laid down very strin gent regulations for enforcing discipline and heavy penalties for its breach ; and these it is that are so obnoxious to sailors; hut their dislike of them is a proof, if it were wanted, how much they were misled. The act also provides for such a system of registra tion as on its face will show from the reports of ship masters the general character of the men registered.; so increasing the value of good, and placing at their real worth had men. This, of course, is not popular with the latter. The Board of Trade's original bill required all agreements to be made at the Shipping-offices; its bill No. 2, now the law, however, limited this re quirement to foreign-going vessels. It left the coasting trade to make its agreements as before; pro vided they were in writing and contained certain particulars set forth in the act. But, whilst thus ex empting these agreements from the regulation of the Shipping- offices, it stupidly subjected the coasting trade to the payment of Shipping-office fees. In consequence. the sailors in that trade now pay much higher fees to this: offices, which arc of little or nu service to them, thou seamen engaged iu the lung voyage.. 'fake, as an example of the operation of this stupi dity and injustice, the ports of the Tyne and the Wear, where nine-tenths of the shipping are col lier*. making from twelve to fourteen voyages a year. Them crimping was unknown ; for the men had their homes in the ports, and were accustomed to hire direct with their skippers. They continue to do so still; yet for each outward voyage one shilling is deducted from their wages in the shape of a fee to the Shipping-office; and the same amount for each I homeward voyage. So that, if aShields collier makes 14 voyages a tear, each of its sailors is taxed to the extent of 255. to maintain a system from which he derives no benefit. Whilst seamen on the long voyage from Liverpool or London, where the Sliipping-oftlets interpose between them and the crimps, making one or two voyages a year, only pay two or four shillings in the shape of fees, as the ease may be. ft is against this injustice that the Tyne seamen rose ; and in its favour Captain BEEctiEY—the " proper person" aforesaid—has not a word to say. He confessed the fees are far too high ; and he promises to recommend their reduction to his superiors. But surely a Board bold enough to assume " the general superintendence" of the mercantile marine of this gnat country must be very incompetent for the duties it has undertaken, when one of its very first acts involves so much injustice as to have roused the seamen of the most active ports in the kingdom to meet and mob against their administration of the statute. Though in this respect the sailors complaint is reasonable enough, we cannot say that in several of their other alleged grievances there is the same force. Their tickets will, we are persuaded, prove of infinite use to them; and to describe themselves. because of their issue. as " ticketed negro slaves," is a piece of very foolish exa gg eration, which can only damage them when they Lave real evils to be redressed. But the jealousy, the suspicion, and the ignorance of sea men constituted facts which aßoard undertaking this " general superintendence" ought to have foreseen and provided against. Instead, the Board of Trade sought large and general powers, which it has pre cipitately and ignorantly carried out, as if it were dealing with machinery, and not with excitable, foolish, and inflammablC human beings. Hence the sailors' strike. SPORTING. to to I opt Mr jobs— lo to I Altd el•Natitt low I Kies Day 11 to I llottrop 12 to 1 opt Mem to 1 lasly Evelyn ZS to 1 llootAguo THE SAILORS' STRIKE. Captain Beeches , 1t .N., arrived at Hull on Friday night, and a public notice, signed by the mayor (Mr. I'. W. Palmer), was posted in the town, inti mating that he would meet the seamen at the Town hall on Saturday morning, for the purpose of hearing any complaints as to the working of the Mercantile Marine Act. As, however, it was notified that all who attended would be tailed on to produce their register tickets before being ad mitted, the Mariners' Committee, acting on the part of the no n, rejected the conference on this footing, but stated that they had no objection to meet Captain Beechey in another place. Accordingly, at noon, about 600 men attended at the Victoria-rounis, Queen-street, and Captain Beechy referred the men loth* reply east by the Board of Trade to the end derland memorial as a sufficient answer to an exactly similar memorial about to be sent from this port. With reference to the shipping offices, he reminded the meeting that the crews of vessels were not compelled to have their agree ments drawn out at these offices under the new system; it was only necessary that they should be recorded before the shipping master, who would overlook the articles to see that the men were not entrapped into a disadvantageous bargain, or into one the particulars of which were unknown to them, as was too frequently the case. Commenting on the advan tage which would result to the men from the power vested in the shipping master to settle alt disputes between the master and crew, Captain Beechey observed that this did not de prive the seaman of the privilege of incurring expense by submitting his claim to a justice of the peace. He repeated that the shipping-offices were instituted solely to protect the seamen from impositions of various kinds, and be expressed the hope that he had succeeded in removing the ohjectiona of those present. 'lbis observation, however, was met by cries of " No, no," and Captain lleechey's further reply to various objections urged by members of the committee failed to produce any sensible impression. The secretary (Christie) said, in answer to a peace-making remark from the mayor, that he would rather go over to Liverpool, and work his way to the United States, there to remain, than cease from the present agitation. He denied that it was a strike, either in regard to the obnoxious legislation affecting seamen, or to the question of wages. The meeting loudly applauded this sentiment, and there was evidently, at the termination of the proceedings, but little advance made towards a settle ment of the existing differences. The committee at Hull, as at other ports, have collected the register tickets from all the seamen who have struck, and who have attended their various meetitecs, and as without these, of course, no sailor can sign articles, the owners are deprived of almost any chalice of obtaining crews. Under this system, the shipping ' office here has become next to a dead letter. One of the largest in-door meetings held (hiring the agita tion took place in Sunderland on Friday. It was convened by the mayor, in compliance with a requisition presented to ham by the sailors. The building, the largest in the town, was crammed, and the avenues hailing to it were also tilled with sailors. The following motion was submitted for the consideration of the seamen: " That the Board of Trade having emphatically declared that thee cannot repeal the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act, which affects our body, nor ran any body except parliament do so; looking, therefore, to the time which must necessarily elapse before a bill for a repeal of the said act can be introduced to and passed through both houses of parliament, this meeting is of opinion that the strike should be suspended for the present, and that in the meantime work ought to be resumed, and every effort made, by me morial and otherwise, to obtains repeal of the objectionable clauses of the act. That in coming to this conclusion the meeting is of opinion that there has been no cause to regret the strike, but, on the contrary, it is a nutter of great sans fat ion that one part of our object has been achieved—viz., an important advance of wages." This motion was violently opposed by two delegates, and, amid much noise and confusion, was put from the chair and last, and an amendment, that the strike continue, carried. The Mayor, after the amendment was carried, strongly remonstrated with the seamen on the folly of their conduct. Mr. 'Williams, a town-councillor, in a very able speech, showed many of the advantages of the Mercantile Marine Act, and urged upon the men to reconsider the subject, and go to sea at MICC. The South Shields Shipowners' Society, representing the whole of the insurance clubs of the town, has lust issued the following notice : "At a meeting of the Shipowners' Society, held at their office this 15th day of February, 1851, for the purpose of taking into (.omM...ration the present great detention of shipping in this port occasioned by the strike of seamen, and to suggest measures to protect such seamen as are disposed to engage themselves to ships, Thomas Forsyth, Esq., in tha chair, a copy of the resolution passed at a meeting of seamen yesterday having been laid before the meeting, it was MO - heti unanimously— " That although this society agree with the seamen in opposing some of the clauses of the Mercantile Marine Act, and when the consolidated hill comes before the House of Commons will probably petition against the objectionable clauses, yet this society cannot allow their shipping property to remain unemployed; and, therefore, if the seamen persist in refusing to go to sea, the shipowners most, however reluctantly, procure men from other places, and apply to the authorities to protect them from either insult or injury.' That this resolution be signed by the chairman, printed, and published in the town and neighbourhood. " THOMAS FORSYTH, Chairman. " South Shields, Feb. 15." The determination of the Mayor of Sunderland, and the notice issued by the South Shields Shipowners' Society, will have a considemle effect in bringing the men to terms. A deputation of seamen, representing Sunderland, Shields, and the neighbouring ports, lett London on Saturday, to wait upon and represent their grievances to the Board of Trade. It is expected that if they receive a favourable answer from the government, the strike will cease. Two foreigners were " tarred and feathered" at North Shields on Saturday morning. They had come across from Sunderland to a foreign vessel in the Tyne, and had been overhauled by a company of " watchers ' who are kept on the look-out by the men on strike. The foreigners being unable to give a good account of themselves, were followed without the precincts of the borough. One of them was caught near some coal stsiths at Ilayhole, besmeared with coal tar, and afterwards dusted with chaff from an old beds tick. The other man, after a chase, was caught in the vil , lage of Bowdon, and met a similar fate, amid the yells and 1 derision of a mob of women. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DI:RING THE PAST WEEK. (Prom the Mark Lane farm.) Since this day nnight a considerable number of vessels, laden with wheat and Indian corn, have arrived off Falmouth from the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, &c. ; besides which we have had fair supplies of the first-named article, barley, and oats, from the near continental ports, and some quantity of dour from France and America. The foreign supplies have, on the whole, been liberal for the time of year, and have eveneAed what has been required for ininiediate use; stocks in granary have consequently been further augmented, and at several of the leading pro vincial markets a small decline has taken place in quota tions. It is somewhat singular that the demand for foreign wheat should not have been even greater than it has, scarcely any of the English having for months past come to hand in fit condition to be manufactured into flour without a con siderable mixture of old foreign. That very large quanti ties have been consumed is proved by the extent of the im ports and the present comparatively moderate stocks in warehouse; but there would certainly have been more activity in the wheat trade (though prime might not have been higher), if a less proportion of our supplies had con sisted of flour. The pressure of the manufactured article MrRDER AND SUICIDE AT COLCIIEcTERO--I0 on the different markets has been severely . felt, and has nn clay'e Express were related the circumstances under which .questionably had a more depressing effect in all parts of the a man and woman, wholived at Colchester. were found—the kingdom than would have been produced by much larger woman with her throat cut, and the man hanging from the s dies of wheat. bed-post.

The adsices from the leading Baltic ports are of much the same character this week as before. At Dantrig and the other upper ports only small supplies of wheat had been brought forward, and, though the demand had burn exceedingly languid, previous prices had been generally insisted on by sellers. It was, however, the prevailing opinion that, with increased supplies in the spring, holders would become more reasonable ; meanwhile there was little being done bw future delivery. Of the supplies of new wheat brought forward by the surrounding farmers, few lots had come to hand in fit condition to be shipped without being fi rst mixed with old! Offers had been made from 4... e: 'oland of half good mixed and half fine high d wheat, weighing 60 lb. to 61 lbs. per bushel, at prices • 30a. tid. per quarter free on board, without lead ing to business. The land supplies had been moderate, lost there had been very little Inclination to buy ; inferior samples had been offered at 345. ; other descriptions front 37a. to 395. per qr., according to weight and quality. The weather had been changeable, intervals of frost and thaw having taken place alternately ; the ice in the harbour was, however, still strong. At Stettin, on the 10th inst., there was little or nothing doing in any branch of the corn trade, and the purchases during the week had been confined to small quantities for local consumption ; fine 621 be. red Uekermark wheat might have been bought so ELS to be put free on board at 3:is. 6d. ; Pomeranian, of the same weight, at 365. •, and red Stettin and mixed Polish, weighing 611b5., at 3.55. to 365. 61. per qr. Barley had come forward sparingly, and had brought firmer rates, say 17e. Gd. to 18s. per qr. free on hoard. From Restock we learn that the deliveries of wheat from the growers had begun to fall off, which had had the effect of giving greater confidence to sellers. Meanwhile the de mand for export had not improved, and few bargains had been closed for spring delivery. The best 6111 s. to 6211r5. qualities hail been held firmly at 375. to :171. fol. per qr. fee on board. In spring corn little or nothing had Leen dune, and quotations had remained nominally unaltered. Hamburg advice' of Tuesday last state that the inquiry for wheat had been languid in the extreme, and that sellers had become more anxious to realise, which had given purchasers a further advantage. Good red Upland, weighing 60i lb. to fillto. per bushel, had been freely offered at I.'s. lid. to 36s 3d. per quarter free on board without leading to much business. Burley had brought former terms, and for a parcel of fine Saale of lb. to rrlilbs. equal to 245. per quarter free on board had been paid. In the Dutch markets quotations have not undergone much change of late. Oats had, it seems, been in some request for English ac count at Groningen and Emden, and their previous value had been well supported. From France we learn that the dull accounts front hence had checked shipments of flour. Meanwhile good supplies had come forward, and at l'aris on Thursday the turn was again in favour of the purchaser. Marseilles letters of the 7th February state that the supplies of wheat from the Black Sea had been rather liberal, Polish Odessa wheat, weighing GOilbs. to 6111 s. per bushel, was then obtainable at that port at 305., and Danube at from 245. Gd. to 275. per quarter free on board. From the other Mediterranean ports the advice's are of much the same character, hut though the tendency of prices has for some time poet been downs an& in that quarter, the sable of wheat is relatively higher there than iu this country. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLOOO. The market for the home funds was affected, yes terday afternoon, with a good deal of flatness, conse quent upon a combination of unfavourable rumours relative to the budget, the position of continental polities, and au anticipated advance in the value of money. which some people affect to fear will be fully proved by a change in the rate of inte rest at an early meeting of the Bank 'board. All uncertainty as to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement has, however, been removed by the pub lication of the details. As far as we can gather, though some points in Sir Charles Wood's plan are received with satisfaction, the general feeling in the City is decidedly one of disappointment, and many parties express their disgust in no measured terms at the petty nature of the financial alleviations proposed, as compared with the magnitude of the burdens of which the public back is expected to continue the endurance. On the Stock Exchange the Chancellor's statement has also been regarded with the reverse of satisfaction, and the market opened with a heavy appearance at the full depres ston which prevailed at the close of yesterday's mar ket. A spur, however, has since been g iven' by fur ther purchases of Consols and Reduced, rather more extensive than usual, by the . government broker, under the influence of which prices have experienced a rally of 4. Very little steadiness of tone, however, is perceptible, and a downward turn is in many quarters predicted. Consols opened as they left off yesterday, 961 to for money, and 961 to 1 for account, and under the influence of the investments noticed above, have rallied to their present quotation, which is 961 to for cash, and 4 more for the 11th of March. The prices officially noted are: Three :per Cent. Consols, 961, 1, ; do. for account, 961 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 97, 964, 974; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 1 ; Long Annuities, 1860, 71, 13-16; Bank Stock. 215 ;; - India Stock, 265. Exchequer Bills are still looking down, there being little demand and many sellers, who are anxious to avail themselves of the better rates now obtainable for money. The bills of 1,000/. have been transacted at 495. and 525. prem.; ditto 5001., 48s. and 525.; ditto Small, 50s. and 53 8 . prem. ; Indian B o nds, 1,000/., mark 60s. and 625. prem. Transactions in the market for foreign stocks have been very limited, and latterly the market for the speculative descriptions has been rather depressed. Mexicans were last done for the account, at 33 to 334, and Spanish Actives at 191 to 19'4. Russian Four-and-a-Half percents. are also flat.

The increase on metals. hardware, and machinery is likewise equal to 12 per cent. The returns are as follows : 1848 1849 18.50 £101,432 The returns of woollen and woollen yarn are 4 per cent. below those of 1849, as a fulling off has taken place on yarn and goods entered 1w the yard. The totals stand thus : 1848 £607.045 1849 1850 The linen manufactures are largely in advance, the increase being above 30 per cent. This is the more satisfactory, as there is a smaller quantity of yarn exported.

The yearly returns are: 1848, 264,5121.; 1819, 428,102/. ; 1850,337,393/.

St:GAIL—The public sales are going off at last week's prices, but there is a want of spirit on the part of buyers, and importers are buying in. Relined : The demand has improved, and prices are a shade dearer for law goods; fair to fine grocery lumps, 495. to 516. CorrEe.—The rather unexpected eqnalis.ation of the duties has caused a sensation in the market; the tendency of the measure is of course to augment the price of foreign and depress British plantation, but no operations of impor tance have been made, and exact quotations cannot be given. Good ordinary native Ceylon, damaged, sold in public sale, Ist and 2nd class 425. to 449.; 100 bags sound were bought in at 475., fur w hichi 455. was bid. TEA.—The market remains steady.

LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY.—The l cuttings on the section of this li ne b e t ween S tra b ane atrNewtown Stewart are in full operation. There are to be four iron bridges, two raised upon stone piers and two upon iron cylinders. The iron work is in rapid progress; and owing in some degree to the present favourable weather, there is every hope that the line will be opened in August next. We have also good reason for believing that if the company receives that support which it deserves, the line will be extended as far as this town before the end of the year—Derry Sentinel.

The business in shares has not been so extensive to-day, but the movement which has for some time been going on must not be considered as terminated, the present appearing rather a temporary pause in the operations, as speculators still have their attention eagerly directed to this department. For sympathy with the home funds,the share market opened flatly, and prices generally declined, but since the advance in Consols, the feeling has become firmer, and quotations have been again looking . up. The present range of the market, ho wever , in most in stances is not equal to the closing rates of yesterthiy.
