' if SUNDERLAND, OCT. 14 ;:—The riutoug conduct of the seamen of the Narts of Newcastle and Sunderland has Le e n s o slightly n o ticed i n the ewspapers, that the country can hardly be aware of the extent ef the , mischi e f omisi..tied by,tl;se misguided mein Jt is now many week, since any shipping have been allowed to depart front either at these ports, wnh the exception in tew vessels bound to Lynn, Boston, &c. ' which have been permitted to bail, with printed licenses from these new naval lords, to whom the masters were obliged to pay 10s. for-every seaman which he had on board, and to make oath that his cargo should not be delivered at London. The buriness of the rioters is conducted in a most systematic manner; they are governed by committees, and the two ports are in regular communication with each cther; the most strict discipline is kept up amongst them; if any of their body absents himself from muster (which takes place twice a day), he is punished by being paraded through the principal streets of the town, liatine his face smeared with tar and his jacket turned inside out ; lie is afterwards obliged to mount a platform moulted to poles set up in triangles for the •purpose a where he remains at the mercy of the nw.b. " The numbers of the seamen increase daily ; and if some stop is nbt speedily pot to their proceedings, the coontry must suffer severe.ly : the price of coals in London and other places dependent on these rrts, will necessarily be greatly enhanced, and the revenue arising tram the* duty on that article fall considerably shirt ; it is calculated that there are at present upwards of 1000 of shippine in the Tyne and Weer, all of which have lost one and many of them two voysges in conse quence of this stoppage, the duties on the cargoes of which would amount to 1500001. " The civil power of the neighbourhood is Altneether unequal to the task of enforcing obedience to the laws, and the handful of •tuilitary in the district is insuffie;ent to overawe so large a body. " The sailors of Shields paid a ‘i•it to their fellows atlond thelth instant ; they paraded the str , ets with drum! and Vv. and of terwards asetubleei on the tutvninoor to the amount of 4000. The Ship- owner of Shields have offered the ren 51. wages per London voyage, or 41. per month on foreign voyages, end Ic have their ships well min nod.
