AMERICA. ARRIVAIi;OF THE BALTIC [The following appeared in an extra supplement with part of our impression of yesterday.] The steam ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, has just arrived here from New York with advices to the 15th inst., being four day's later than those re ceived on . Saturday by the America. She has brought home 134 passengers, and One Million of dollars in specie. She spoke the steam er Atlantic on the 16th inst. about 125 miles from New York. We subjoin the letter from our correspondent in in New York, from which it will be seen that the news from England, taken out by the Canada, had caused quite a panic in the Money Market, and a great excitement in the market for Breadstuffs, the prices for which had again advanced. The Wash ington correspondent of the New York TiMes says that advices had reached that city, from Havanna supplying intelelligence of important movements of the English Government, in con nection with Slavery in the island of Cuba. It is stated that a treaty has been concluded with Spain, by which England is permitted to prosecute inCuba a search for slaves that may have been landed, and it is said that there is also a prospect of her concluding a treaty by which she will withdraw her cruisers from the coast and permit slaves to be landed ad libitum, on condition that they shall be made Emancipados for ten years, and that Slavery shall be abolished in Cuba at the end of fifty years. The Times adds :—These 'movements, if the re port . of them proves to be well-founded, will attract the very general attention of the country. from New Orleans report the weather 'as cool and fine, and thousands of an Sell Luca returning, considering the 'danger from yellow fever entirely over. The health of Mobile is nearly restored, and there are only occasionally cases of yellow fever. •It was still prevailing in various towns of Mississippi and Louisiana. Natchez :is now free from the epidemic, and trade is reviving there. The fever had disappeared from Thibo deaux, but at Yazoo City it was still raging Se verely. Ad - vices from Mexico to the 13th inst. had been received. There were reports of a revolution fat Yucatan, and a steamer with three hundred troops had been despatched to quell it. Don Lino Alcorta had been appointed minister of war. A New Or leans paper states that a conspiracy had been dis covered at Puebla, involving several persons of influence, some of whom had been ordered to leave the country. The New York Herald says :—Our Washington despatches this morning, contain some interesting intelligence. An effort is to be made to render the navy more efficient, in view of the anticipated troubles in Europe The suspension of the busi ness of Mr. Draper appears to have caused quite a sensation at the capital. Captain Gibson has pub fished a letter expressing himself satisfied with the action of the government in his case. Governor Seymour, yesterday resigned his office of Governor of Connecticut, to assume the duties of the Russian mission, and Lieutenant Governor Pond was sworn in as chief executive of the State, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) New York, Saturday Morning, Oct. 15; By the Collins steamer Baltic I send you a sum mary of the latest news, up to the hour of the sailing of the steamer. The steam-ship Humboldt from Havre and Southampton, arrived at this port last evening after a very rough passage. • Her news was in substance anticipated by the Canada's ar rival at Halifax on Thursday morning. The Canada reached Boston last night at 10t p.m. Her moils &c. will reach us this afternoon at 4 o'clobli. From Washington we learn that some move ments were going on in the Navy Yard, for putting that force in better trim, (in case of need.) It is said that the United States Navy des not possess one steamer of war that is in a ! fit state to cross the Atlantic. One of the leading >'v • . v.. A. - matta. 2.1.1,31 J, VW V,.7 Vt/C4l/ Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary of the Navy, had on Thursday last, visited the Collin's steamer Baltic; he afterwards proceeded to Washington. It, is surmised that the Government intend buying this vessel, and converting her into a steamer of War. J. H . Young has been commissioned as ConSul to Curacoa. The Washington Star announces that James . Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, is a disappointed applicant for the mission to France. General Dix is to be released from the office of the Secretary of the Treasury at New York. General Almonte, Mexican Minister at Wash ington, in a communication to the New York Herald denies the fact that Santa Anna entertains the notion of the substitution of Empire for the pre sent existing Republic. Advises have reached Washington stating that Yellow Fever had broken out near the Naval Ren desvous at Fell's Point, Baltimore. The . Govern ment have been informed of serious troubles having' broken out in the Cherokee nation ; a portion of the natives were in arms against the Government, and had killed two of Ross's party. - Some heavy snow had fallen in New Hampshire; a letter from • that place, dated on the 12th inst. lays that" Mount Washington was covered to the depth of two feet. Since mylla - st . advice's per the America, com mercial affairs New York. have been wildly ex cited. The demand for money has become greater, while the supply upon the market has been less Most of the banks have, .in a measure, curtailed their amount of discounts, and even what they do is done at very exhorbitant rates, say from 10 :to 18 per cent. On the receipt of the Canada's news, by : telegraph. from Halifax, late on in the day!of Thursday a most severe stringency arose in money circles, which almost amounted to a panic. The failure which was announced on that day of . one of our Wall -street brokers, (Mr. Simeon Draper,) had an effect upon the busines s; in . the street; and the day closed heavily, probably the:darkest day in Wall Street that has been ex perienced this year. The . Stock Market fell off considerably for almost all descriptions from three to 'five, and even seven per cent. On Friday in consequence,. of further news by the Canada tele graphed froin Halifax, which, was less unfavorable, the market for money was a shade better, and - stocks looked up-a little, but closed at from four to v P" cent lower than on: Wednesday, for nearly all descriptions.. The market for breadstuffs has again advanced under the advices brought ont by me uanacta, but the transactions nave inn ucen large, shippers are inclined to await their private letters : most of the transactions have 'been made for future delivery. The increased rates may be quoted at 25 cents for flour, and 4 cents on wheat. The stock - on hand is limited at present, but as the winter draws upon us, the supplies will be . forced upon the market. The cotton market, owing to the continued un favourable advices from Europe, continues languid, and prices drooping. Notwithstanding, the reports from the• south, of the shortness of the crop, the sales have not averaged 400 bales per day, for the last week or -two. In the provision market we have to notice an 'active demand for pork, fat rather higher prices. In other articles there is no change. ~ Freights_ continue extravagently high, to Liver pool flour is quoted at 3s. 6d. to 4s. per barrel, and wheat 14d. to 15d. per bushel. Exchange on Lon don for remittance, per the Baltic has been some what less in demand, and lower rates are current We quote bills at sixty days, at 1091 to 109 NEW YORK MARKETS FRIDAY, Oct. 14-6 P.M. AstiEs—Are unsettled. The scanty stock and light re ceipts have induced factors to advance their claims, which have checked operations. A few parcels were sold at ir regular prices. Corrox—The business of the day, as of the entire week, has been quite insignificant, as shippers have avoided the market, and the home inquiry has been very limited.

Subsequently, with a rise in freights and an inclination among buyers to await the arrival of their private correspondence, some reaction occurred, and less vigour was displayed by the market, as well as by prices, which slightly declined. At the close, however, we observe a livelier and better feeling in the trade, the tendency being decidedly upward. The day's movements comprise 21,000 bbls.

REVIEW OF THE MARKET, ECT 45,000 15,000 We issued our last circular for the Artic on the Ist inst. The sales since that date, excluding one day, on which 5,000 bales were reported, have steadly kept down to 500 bales daily. The feeling throughout, with the exception named, and which was confined to two or three ardent spirits, has been one of uniform excessive dullness and apathy—prices being nominally sustained by the hopes of holders in receiving aid from the expec ted improvement in tue Liverpool market, and a settle ment of the disquieting Eastern question, in both of which they have been dissappointed, and in the dubious position of th e present crop rests the hope of continuing business near the present currency. The mills at the east roa ct a iNtiginniS i sT e tat t tAr are dueed from thirteen to eleven. They are stocked more largely than heretofore, and it is expected will see the policy of purchasing later and more cautiously than dur ing the previous crop. The Canada's advises, received on 13th inst., simply added to the dull feeling. We ad just our quotations to the rate accepted: holders endeavor to wait for more, as it would be impossible to obtain them in quantity. The advices we have continued to receive from the South, during the past fortnight, we regret to say, have not been favourable for the crop. The accounts of injury arising from too much, moist weather, say rotting of the bolls, &c., have steadily continued, and extended over a wider surface. The growth of the plant has been luxuriant, but the proportion of bolls has not kept pace therewith, and what has been formed, being covered by foliage, the ripening process has been retarded we think fully a fortnight as com pared with the past crop. At the present time the weather is not indicative of a long season and a killing frost during the present month, may be reasonably looked for. The effect of such, even at the termination of the month, would be to curtail the former prospect of a large crop over 100,000 bales. After' a frost, we may haVe ripening weather, and bolls nearly ripe may be gath ere d after being hardened under it. So much depends on the character of the weather after a frost, and so largely can the crop be benefitted, or injured thereby, we think it in advisable to say it cannot reach 3,000,000 bales, but the chances are decidedly against it.

DISPUTE BETWEEN THE MASTER SHIP BUILDERS OF LIVERPOOL. AND THEIR OPERATIVES. MEETING YESTERDAY. Yesterday morning, a meeting of the Liverpool Ship builders' Association was held in the Graving Dock Regu lation Office, Strand-street, to consider a letter received from Messrs. Joseph M'Lean and Co., stating that not being able to procure hands to complete the work required at the ship " John Howell," in Sandon Dock, at 7s. per day, and the captain having engaged a number of men at Bs. per day, Messrs. M'Lean and Co. wish to know what course the Association will recommend them to pursue. Also, to consi der a letter received from the shipwrights' association. Mr. WILSON GREEN occupied the Chair. The following members of the association were present : Messrs. Paul, J. Evans, Irving, M'Lean, Potter, Boyd, M'Keverigan, W. Wilson, Grayson, M'Elroy, W. B. Jones, T. Clarke, Dawson, Clover, Royle, Smith, Ladmore, Cato, W. Pope, J. Pope, Williams, Fitzpatrick, Legg, Garret, Jackson, Richard Evans, Honorary Secretary, anll. Cros bie, Assistant Secretary. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meet in.., said a note had been received announcing the death.of Mr. Martin, of the firm of Brown and Martin, and request ing that the colours should be half masted. A letter had also been received by Mr. Evans, the honorary secretary, dated the 24th of October, 1853, from Messrs. M'Lean, and Co. It was as follows :—" Dear Sir,—We beg to intimate that in consequence of not being able to obtain carpenters at 7s. per day, to do the work required to the ship John Howell, in the Sandon graving dock, and the captain hav ing engaged some hands at 3s. per day, we request-you to call a meeting to-morrow morning, so that we—may know what course to pursue. We are, Dear Sir, yours respect fully, 11PLEAN and Co. That was in some degree the object of the meeting this morning. Mr. W. B. JONES : Is it true that M'Lean and Co. are giving Bs. per day ? -- - - - The CILZIRMAN : There is the note which I have just read explaining it. It seems it is not M'Lean who is giving it, but the owners of the ship, or the captain rather. Mr. JONES : Then it is the owners are doing it. I under bLLlll ML. C4W 1b albl, r a y in g 613. Mr. CATO said he would n)t give them Bs. a day, and they went about their business. Mr. JONES said he could not get men to do his work. Mr. 3FELROY had a ship just astern of Mr. M'Lean, that had not half enough of men. Mr. ROYLE : Mr. Cato, are you carting men down to the north end ? ?4r. CATO : No. Mr. ROYLE : I beg to state you are. If such work as this is carried on, I beg to withdraw from this association, be cause it is not the first, second, or third time I have been de ceived by you. Mr. CATO : In what way ? Mr. ROYLE : I will tell you in a few minutes how. It was proposed here, and carried, that there should be no carting or buss hire given to men going to the north end of the town. That was the regulation. Mr. CATO : Neither has it been done by me. Mr. ROYLE : It has not ! You are the master shipwright, repairing a ship called the Mendora ; and I do not care who the man was that came to me and said, pay the cartage to -my ship, I would not. You are doing the ship, and you ought to carry out the resolution. • The CHAIRMAN : Name the ship. Mr. ROYLE : The Mendora. In consequence of Mr. Cato giving cartage, his men had left the John Barrow, and had gone to work with Mr. Cato. Mr. CATO : I deny it. Mr. BOYLE : I saw them yesterday. There is no use denying it. I tell you distinctly you have got two men there working on the Mendora, who left me on account of your giving cartage Mr. CA.TO : I do not believe it Mr. ROYLE : There is a man of the name of Elsbv saw him myself Mr. DAWSON charge those men ? Mr. ROYLE : No; I had no right to do so. Mr. CATO : You should come to me. Mr. ROYLE : I come to you now. Mr. DAWSON : It was understood that notice was to be given in those cases to the foreman or master. You have not taken the proper steps to make those men return. Mr. ROYLE : I must be protected. I appeal to the meet ing, and I hope I shall be protected. Mr. CATO : If you sent me a note to that effect, I would have discharged them immediately. Mr. ROYLE : You are perfectly aware why they knocked off ? • Did you ask Mr. Cato's foreman to dis- Mr. CATO : I am not, ' Mr. ROYLE : It was through your carting them down. Mr. CATO : I did not. Mr. ROYLE : What is the use of my trying to cav,out isaa,r,tathm, it uicy are to be broken in such a style ? Mr. CATO : I did no such thing. Mr. DAWSON : According to the last meeting, the proper course was to have given notice. Mr. CATO : I do not believe there is a man of yours where you say. Mr. ROYLE : I did not take my foreman's word or your foreman's word for it, but I went and saw them myself. Mr. CATO : My foreman told me he has not one. I do not believe it. You are only making a false statement from beginning to end. Mr. ROYLE again repeated his statements, that two of his men were working at a ship of Mr. Cato's. Some more of them were working, at Mr. Sudbury's. Twenty-four of his men had knocked off altogether. The CHAIRMAN : How have they gone to Mr. Sudbury; he has no carting ? Mr. ROYLE : They have gone there to work by light. Did not Mr. Neil tell them distinctly, if carting was paid by one individual, the men would leave the masters who would not pay, and go to those who would pay ? (Hear, hear.) Did he not also tell them, and had it not appeared in the public papers, that the men had never asked for an advance of wages but that it was always offered to the m ? (Hear, hear.) ° NV . as not that the fact ? They asked for no advance, because it was offered to them ; and if they were to carry out their regulations, why should they be broken through by leading members of the association ? He (Mr. Royle) knew the late chairman of the society was the first man to create dissensions amongst the men, at the com mencement of the fall of last year. Mr. CATO Speak out. The CHAIRMAN : You had better confine yourself to the present case. Mr. ROYLE : If I am to maintain my position, I 'must leave this association. lam not come here to be published as a liar. I can not break through any regulations agreed to by the association, so I shall withdraw from the associa tion, because I find the regulations cannot be carried out. The CHAIRMAN: Let us attempt to do so. Mr. ROYLE : We have attempted we have suffered ma terially; we have two ships which have been in two neap tides when they ought to be in only one. With 24 men leaving me in a day, what are we to do ? The best way was to discharge the men, and send them back to the ship. Mr. W. POPE remarked that where Mr.:Royle was wrong, was in not giving notice to Mr. Cato and to M r . S u dbu r y. Mr. RO YLE : When you mention this, they say it is the owner or captain has done it. But if such was the.case, let the ship be given up. Mr. M‘IiEvERIGAN understood this to be the spirit of the last iesolutions. Mr. ROYLE asked if leading members of the association were ,breaking the rules, what was to be expected from younger members of the association ? Jr. 3: CATO : Your statement is incorrect. BOYLE reasserted its accuracy, and would withdraw from the association and do what he pleased. Mr. W. B. JONES hoped Mr. Boyle would consider before . burti g vrgamzeu, and with the amount of business in the town such a course would upset everything. The question brought before them scarcely warranted Mr. Boyle being so severe in his remarks; because if M. Cato and Mr. Sudbury had some of his men he should have given notice, and then if they refused to discharge them, and the association had not then acted, it would be time enough to withdraw from the association. The with drawal of a respectable firm would enable the men to ride rampant over the town. Mr. CATO said with reference to the Mendora Mr. Royle was wrong in his statement. If a note had been sent and that the men had been. working for him, he, would have immediately discharged them. He trusted that Mr. Royle would withdraw what he said. Mr. 110YLE : Never would. It was all well to. talk of sending a note when the mischief was done. Mr. Jones need not get up to vindicate the cause of Mr. Cato, for the men distinctly told him Mr. Cato would give them carting and asked him for it—he ref Used, and they left the ship. The CHAIRMAN said the onus was taken, from Mr. Cato, inasmuch as he received no notice. Mr. ROYLE : What was the cause of the men's first leaving ? The CHAIRMAN : That is an enquiry I cannot go into now. Mr. ROYLE . It was because they were carted down to the ship, _ The CHAIRMAN : Mr. Cato says they were not. Mr. ROYLE : Were the men carted down ? Mr. CATO : Not to my knowledge. Mr. ROYLE knew they were, and had been told by one of the owners that Mr. Cato's foreman had talked him into carting them down. Even the Consignee told him he had done wrong. The CHXIRIVIAN remarked that this case could be grappled with if the notice had been given. - At present it was a statement and counter-statement, He then remarked that the subject of Mr. M`Lean's communication was before the meeting. What course was he to pursue ? Mr. JONES : The same course we all do. There is one motion which I think will put an end to all this discussion about carting, I had a conversation with several shipown ers, and they are all of opinion that men living at the south end of the town, should be carted down to the' north end. I have three vessels there myself, and have suffered myself at that end. They had to remain , there for the whole of the neap§ - ,:and i ro - r the irk part of them he had only. tlgee or four men, and about twenty lads at work upon them. There were two men on one side and one on the other. I know those men are likely to go where they were working over time, as for instance, to Mr. Cato, who was working by light making a well in a ship—or to Mr. M'Elroy, where they could make over time inside. Mr. MTLitoy : Not one of your men left the vessel to come to my ship. Mr. JONES did not say so. Mr. WELuox : You need not name me. Mr. JONES : I will. Mr. WELROY : If your men left to come to me, you have a right to do so ; but if not, you have no right. Mr. JONES did not say that his men left to go to Mr. M'Elroy. But in consequence of Mr. M'Elroy giving the men over time at night, which he had a perfect right to do, they got two or three shillings additional. He did. not blame the men for this. As regarded carting, the Annie Rose was going to the north end, and the men came to him and asked him would he pay for a cart ? He refused, and they said you cannot blame us for leaving the ship. He (Mr. Jones) said they ought to finish the ship. The men said they lived at the south end, and it took them an hour, and they were very much .exhausted when they got down Ito the north end of the town; and that •it was very hard to send them down when they could get plenty of work nearer home. He told the men there was a meeting this morning, and he would make a motion, that to men living at the south end carting should be allowed, but that no money should be paid. With regard to employing carts, lie thought it only fair to do so, and he hoped this meeting would re consider the thing, because he thought it was very exhaust ing to walk so far to their work, and they would get down in better time. He begged to move that cartage be allowed to those men, but that no money be paid them. Mr. MCELROY said the men probably would be got later to work. Mr. .ToNzs thought not. Mr. MCELROY did not think about it, for he saw the carts coming. Mr. JONES thought it would put an end to a great many disputes. Mr. GRAYSON said there had been more complaints made by shipowners generally, about this buss money, than about any other charge, even the advance of wages. Not only had it a bad effect on the men who received it, but the men at the north end did not turn to work until the men arrived from the south-end. There was, something like half-an-hour in the morning lost by this system of carting. He admitted it was hard on them to have to walk so far, but instead of paying cartage, he would infinitely prefer, paying six-pence a day - to men working in the Sandon Graving-dock. This buss money would be a source of endless annoyance as long as' it existed. The CHAIRMAN remarked that Mr. Grayson's suggestion would interfere with the uniform rate of wages. Several members of the association were of the opinion that if this were done, the increase of six-pence should become general. Mr. GRAYSON contended, that the only way of getting over the present anomalous state of things, was to pay six pence-a- day extra, and let the men get there as they best could: Let them get earlier to their work; the greatest injustice was done by paying men for time which was lost. Mr. DAWSON seconded Mr. Jones's motion. They would provide carts, but on no account was money to be paid. , The CHAIRMAN said it was a difficult matter to deal with. Mr. JONES said when the men came to him from the Annie Rose, he told them the men at the north end did not go to work until they came down. They said the fact of getting a cart brought them down sooner, and they always started before the time for turning to, and got down in time, so that as to the men not keeping to time correctly if carted down, he' believed viceversa would be the fact, and more work would be got out of the men by taking them down. Mr. Mc.ELnoY : I find this to be the case that the south end mesters will have an advantage over the north end masters, inasmuch as they can cart the men any where they please, and keep them as long as they please, when we want them. I don't want any master to have the privilege ,of paying two shillings a week more than I do. If you allow them to cart their men down, I will 'claim the privilege of paying my men two shillings a week more wages, and I will do it. The CHAIRMAN : The men, you see, are not to be paid. Mr. Mc. Mawr : They have been paid. The CHAIRMAN : But they are not to be paid by this resolution. Mr. Mc. Elroy : But if they were not carted down to the south end of the town, they would come to work for youor e me ct b t u h t ey if w th ill ey n a o r t wecoark for u carted down Now, bythe if you agreemastersatt tohesonth nthis motion, I will insist upon paying the men as high a ratd, of wages as any man here ; and I will do it. I don't want to deceive you. This system has caused more abuses through the trade than any other system this one system of carting. I don't wish to allow any man to pay a higher rate of wages than I do, and if you allow others to cart their men down to the deck, I will insist upon paying my nien rrtkores f f a,T bhom. Mr. DAWSON : you pay them buss money in addition, that will be paying them higher. Mr. Mc. Elroy : That has been done. The north end men have gone up to the south end offices and received 4d. each, and that gives you an advantage over us to which you have no right. Mr. DAWSON : It never has been done by me. I have paid buss money at the rate of £4 or £5 a week, but I have not given money to the men. Mr. MCELROY : I wish this meeting to understand, that if you pass this motion, I will put the men who work for me in the same position as the other men. The CHAIRMAN: But allow me. There is a little ir regularity in this. All the members of this association are supposed to be guided and regulated by the result of a division, however it may go. It is not fair for a party to stand up and say, "if this be carried, I will depart from all your regulations." Mr. MCELROY : We are overbalanced here by the South end masters. There is a greater number of them here than of those whose interest lies to the North end, and they have no right to have this advantage over us. Mr. DAWSON* : You will be at the same liberty to cart the men down. Mr. MCELROY : But I don't do it. The CHAIRMAN : Gentlemen, this is getting a little ir regular. The course which we have to pursue will be to nivide upon the subject; and let it be distinctly understood, that no money be paid to the men. Mr. MCELROY : Every man should be allowed to go and work where he pleases. You have no right to cart them. • Mr. MCKEVERIGAN : If the amendment has been lost, I will move another. The CRAIRMAN : It has been lost, as no one seconded it Mr. McanoY : I will second it. Mr. MCKEVERIGAN : I beg leaVe to propose another amendment. I propose that we adhere to our last resolution, that no cartage whatever be paid. (Cries of hear, hear.) I think it is almost disgraceful that the master tradesmen should cart their men from one end of the town to the other. There is no necessity for it, and if every member of the association would only adhere to the rules, then every man would have fair play. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN : That is, that the original resolution should remain ? Mr. MelinvEniGAN : Yes ; that it should remain as it was passed at the last meeting. I think there is no necessity for carting the men at all. You don't get a quicker turn-to, nor do the men in the Sandon graving dock work the better fOr it. We travelled, year after year, down to the Clarence dock, and 'When it was opened, it was just as far from the town, and farther, for the same numbers were not then cen tralized round the docks, and we had no unpleasantness whatever about it. The men won't look for it if you don't give it. Mr. William WILSON seconded the amendment. Mr. GRAYSON withdrew his amendment. Mr. MCELROY : Stand to your old resolution, men. The CHAIRMA.N called upon all in favour of the amend ment to hold up their hands, when the show of hands ap peared to De in us favour. The CHAIRMAN : I believe the division is in favour of the amendment.' (Hear, hear.) The amendment was therefore declared carried. The CHAIRMAN : Now, gentlemen, you have to say what will be your reply to Messrs.. McLean's note. That, I think, is a plain course. You must explain to the captain the consequences of the advance of wages. Mr. IRVING (of the firm of McLean and Co.) : I did exo_ain it, sir. • The CHAIRMAN : The course that some parties have taken is to leave the ship in the hands of the owners. Mr. Pope, for instance, has pursued that course, and has withdrawn his foreman and apprentices from the ship. Withdraw from the ship, and leave her in the captain's hands. Mr. invinvG: Well, we don't consider that altogether fair for our employers. They are particular friends of ours, and we wish to assist them as fa r as li es w ithi n our power to do. Mr. POPE : You have no alternative. If the owners of your ship give Bs. a day, you ought to give h er up . Mr. IRVING : What if there is a contract ? The CHAIRMAN : The captain cannot give Bs. then. Mr. POPE : Exactly. The shipowner may give more, and the carpenter may wink at it, and carry on the work, and get plenty of men ; but if you determine not to give I, and tell the owner of the vessel so,and if he then insists upon it, you ought to give the vessel up, or else there will be no way whdtever of carrying out the resolution, and there is no use of adopting it all. Mr. Invrism : We have not got any more men. Mr. POPE : That is no matter, you ask the sense of the meeting, and I think that is its sense. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN : You are only in the same difficulty as any master would be if the men will not work. Mr. McLean : We can't do it, for we have a contract for a portion of the vessel. Mr. POPR : Then if you do it, every one else will do the same,_ and there i s an en d t o t h e matter altogether. The CHAIRMAN : The course to pursue will pe this—to tell the men that you cannot give Bs. a day. Then if ;he men leave you— Mr. POPE : If the Men leave you, they cannot get w)rk anywhere else, provided that the resolution is carried out. Mr. LEGG : Oh, but they will get work. Men who :eft me got work with Mr. Jones, on the " City of Boston." The CHAIRMAN : Did you give Mr. Jones notice ? Mr. 4GG : I dick♦ ,thejassistant- seeretam said• on yeiteiclay morning he had received a note from Mr, Legg, and as soon as he received it, he went to the office and met Mr. Story. He read the note for Mr. Story, and read the names of the men, and Mr. Story told him he would go to the ship, and if he found the men working, he would discharge them at once. (Applause.) • Mr. MCELROY said he had a ship in the Sandon graving dock, and of twelve men he had on Saturday, there werenot three on Monday, but he did not make any advance in wages. He agreed with Mr. Royle, that it was a very lame way of doing the thing, by throwing it over upon the cap tains or the owners of ships. They could do the thing themselves without any assistance whatever from the cap tains or owners. A man mi g ht as we ll come forward openly and honestly, and say " I have advanced the wages," as let the captain do it. The master carpenter was the persbn who paid the wages, and not the captain o r owner . Mr. MclaArt : Ve told them that we would not pay the advance, nor do we intend to pay it. The. CHAIRMAN : You have taken the right course. - Mr. POPE : If you are pressed by the owners, you must only give up the contract. The CHAIRMAN : Yes, that's the course which you must pursue. The fact is, you must tell the men that they will not be paid more than 7s. Mr. lONEs asked Mr. Cato, had he not been making two hours in the Brunswick dock. Mr. CATO : No, we have not got lights. Now, Dir. Royle, will you give us the names of those men you spoke of ? If I find that these men are still working at the shil, I will go down and discharge them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROYLE : Mr. Chairman and Mr. Cato, I am per fectly aware that Mr. Cato will discharge the men, but what I say.is, that the mischief is a l rea d y d one t o me, by allowing the men to be sent down to the ship in carts. Mr. CATO : It was done without my knowledge, I de clare. Mr. ROYLE : Then it had no right to be done without your knowledge. Your Foreman had no right to talk he owner into it. Mr. CATO : It was done without the knowledge of iny foreman. Mr. ROYLE : Nothing of the sort. I *as told myself that the owner was talked into it by your foreman. The CHAIRMAN Who told you, gr. Royle i Mr. ROYLE : Mr. French, t ren o ch m , F O o w r l n le e r y, of th . i e he c s o h ns ip ip , a e n e d he also told the same story in Mr. Ferney's office. Both ships are consigned to the same gentleman. I don't come here to tell lies, Mr. Cato. I come here to state facts. I saw the men myself at work, and I certainly will believe what I see. The CHAIRMAN : Mr. Cato has said it was without his knowledge, and that he will discharge the men. Mr. ROYLE : Yes ; under these circumstances, I *ill remain a member of the associ a ti on , b u t unless these Men are discharged from the different ships, I will beg leave to withdraw my name from it. The CHAIRMAN : I think you might even press the case a little further. If it be shewn that the forenian has in any way been the cause of the carts going doWn there, a fine should be levied. ROYLE : That is what I say, I leave it entirely' in your hands. The men are there, and they have left the ship upon being carted down to the " Medora." If the cqn signee sent the word that I must cart the men doiwn I to the ship, I would tell him distinctly that I wo u ld not do so. If we stick to each , other, we may perhaps come' to some understanding, . but what we do is this, we come here and pass resolutions, and the next time we meet, thee days after, we alter them. What for ? For the men 'to laugh at us, and the merchants, and every one else. Thfre is a certain class of men going ab ou t thi s t own , w h o go by the name of the " Forty Thieves." There is some little honour in these men, but there is none in our association. (Oh, oh, and cries of order.) Mr. JONES : I think this is out of order ; it is disgraceful to use such language. (Cries of hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN : It is out of order. Mr. JONES : It is very improper language—very— every member of the association must feel that it is. Several Members : It ought to be withdrawn. (Heir.) The CHAIRMAN : I expect Mr.. Royle will retract the observation. It is as well to make some explanation. It was spoken in warmth and without consideration. All this altercation has occurred in consequence of the notice not having been given to Mr. Cato. I hope it will be done for the future. Had it been done the mem bers of this association would be now in a proper position to meet the matter Mr ItoyLE : No, Mr. Chairman, it was not in conse quence of the notice not being given. liad Mr. Cato stack as closely to the resolution as I did, it would not have oc curred. The CHAIRMAN : But you are told he did not know of Mr. ROYLE : If his foreman, or whoever did it, never found these men in carts, my men would be all now at work in the ship. Mr. CATO : I must again say that I did not know; of it. Mr. Rona; : I always toll my foreman of every alteration which is made here, and he dare not act against it. The CHAIRMAN ; Well, we can't improve the subject by discussing it any longer. (Hear, hear). Mr. WELitoy : I think Mr. Cato is in fault for having allowed it, and I think Mr. Royle has suffered from it, but I do not agree in the opinion which that gentleman expressed of the association, for I think myself as honourable as he, and I think these little hasty words should be with drawn. Mr. ROYLE : I have seen so much quibbling in the as sociation, that I am getting tired of it, and I must say that there is not much honour amonc , us. The CHAIRMAN : But we are forgetting the past, and try • ing to improve for the future. Mr. JoNEs : Has Mr. Royle seen anything done which he did not do himself, in the way of giving bounty or hours extra ? • Mr. ROYLE : You could not charge me with anything ( the kind. Mr. JONES : I know that he has given hours extra the same as other persons, therefore there is no need for all this recrimination. Mr. ROYLE : You never could charge me with being the first to break through any resolution ade in this society. Mr. JONES : You have done whet we all have done. The CHAIRMAN : Gentlemen, we are now rambling away again. Mr. ROYLE : I have suffered for weeks. The CHAIRMAN : Now we are doing no business. Mr. Jorrus : What I say is, that the remarks were un called for. They were out of place, and very much against the respectability of the association, and I think Mr. Royle should withdraw his hasty word. The CHAIRMAN : I have no doubt that he will do so Mr. ROYLE : I know that it was a little hasty, and I feel that I am somewhat hasty in language, and, therefore, I beg leave to withdraw the expression. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, you must bear m mind that I was and am suffer ing from the loss of these men, and that would make any one feel. The men never left you at the "Crown" all at once. Mr. JONES : Yes , • five of them left at once. Mr. ROYLE : Yes ; but twenty-four never left you at once. Mr. JoNms : They left me and went to Mr. Cato, but I don't blame him. It was an advantage to the men to go, and they had a right to make more money if they could, and I do not blame them either. Mr. CATO : If you send a note to me I will not employ them. I wish to _carry out the rules and desires of this body as much as any man, and perhaps more. Mr. JONES : We are progressing very well, I think. Wo could not expect to jump to perfection all at once. Mr. Roxio3 : I do not think we are progressing at all. Here we are at the same game all over again. Any man who wishes to carry on the business, and do the duty of this association, is completely led astray by the way we are going on After some further conversation, Mr. M'LEAN intimated that TIP would perry ont the desire of the meeting, and if the owners insisted upon his giving Bs. a-day he would give the vessel up. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN said he had received a. letter from the Secretary ofthe Shipwrights' Club, in which he was requested, as chairman of that body, to attend their meeting at half past one o'clock. If it were the desire of the meeting, although at great inconvenience to himself, he would do so. It was agreed that the chairman should attend the meet ing. fir. GARRETT said he was the last who entered the room, and had only just come from the Clarence Graving Dock, and he heard there that the intention of the shipwrights was to strike that night for Bs. a-day. He heard it from his own foreman. The CHAIRMAN : We cannot tell that decidedly until some step be taken. We have had no notice. Mr. GARRETT : I thought perhaps some other parties in the room might have heard something about it. The CHAIRMAN : I did not, directly or indirectly. The proceedings then terminated. POLICE CO URT.-YESTERDAY. ROBBERIES FROST THE PERSON.—ToIin Pick.avance was re manded to this day, on a charge of being one of the parties who, upon the 30th of July last, robbed a gentleman of a bunch of keys, and ss. 6d. in silver, in Gloucester-st ree t.

ROBBING AN ALB STORE.—Robert Davis and Joshua .Reys, boys in the employment of Mr. Barber's brewery, were charged with stealing eight or nine bottles of ale out of his store. A gentleman, on the part of the brewers, stated that they wished to make an example of those boys, in the hope of stopping an extensive system of robbery, quite unjustifiable, as the eniployees in the establishment received every con sistent indulgence. The magistrates remanded the case until to-day, in order that the parents of the boys might be in attendance. ROBBERIES OF WEARING APPARBL.—Francis .Day and Jonathan _Knight, members of the juvenile society of thieves, were accused of stripping the drying yard of Mrs. Tyson, Brownlow-hill, of various articles of wearing apparel.

Mrs. Wallace swore she the prisoner a present of it. .. the at The magistrates said they would acovit the the daughter might have represented to ner t hat the perty was her own. They had no doubt, 1 10 % e daughter's guilt, and should sentence .her to 0 1, imprisonment. t , nyo STEALING EGGS.—A boy named John - 4 ` Tuesday, detected pilfering some eggs from c - - 11 " west side of Clarence Dock, belonginer to the r, Packet Company.
