RUTTEIi, with snail : and passengers ; the Dover and the grata, with passengers and baggage ; it is sup posed that they will be obliged to go to Boulogne, the wind being very short. In addition to the accounts cont;)ined in our last page, .of the proceedings of the turbulent 'Siatnen - at the different ports on the Tyne, we i tind the following particulars in a Newcastle Paper of the 10th " The Seamen in this neighbourhood, notwithstanding they had several meetings last week with the Ship-owners and Magistrates, still remain in an unsettled state. It will be seen i❑ another part of this paper, that the Ship-owners have partly acceded to the wishes of the Seamen, but the latter remain inflexible to their first request." The proposals made by the Ship-Owners on the 4th inst. were, that they would recommend the )Committees of Insurance to order such ships as have been short manned to take adequate crews, and even more than the Committees, in any other circumstances, would think necessary for the se cure navigation of the vessels ; that care would be taken to see the ships manned according to the recommendation of the Committee, and that the Insurance Committees would personally ,attend to See that their intentions as to the manning of the ships were fully carried into effect. The Committee expressed their opinion, that . if this were adopted, upon an average two extra men would be em ployed in every ship. The meeting hell at North Shields, on the 7th instant, was exceedingly numerous, and the following spirited Resolutions tvere unanimously adopted and sigried by 242 S'dp-owners:— "that this Meeting does conceive that the ship-owners cannot, consistently with the respect due to the existing laws, and the duty, which, on the present occasion, -they feel they 6we to the ptiblib at large, concede any thing beyond what is contained in the said proposals. " That this Meeting feels an imperious - duty to apprise the adjoining Magistrates of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle, of the Sentiments now eitpressed, and at the same time to solicit of them, as guardizins of the publie peace, ample protection as well to such seamen as nifty feel willing td return td - their duty, as also to the shipoWners and public at large."
