W,tagi or DOCKYARD LLBOURIIRS.—A few months
sines the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, after
reoeiving deputations from various dockyard towns,
who pointed out the miserably deficient wage. of the
labourers, issued an order raising the pay of these men
ls. weekly. For this liberality the present Government
received the gratitude of the men, ond the 'porno'
enlogiums of the Conservative press. It can scarcely be
deemed erodible, but it is unfortunately true, that this
palmy inareue of pay has already been taken off, and
that from and after the present week the dockyard
labourer; will be reduced to their old rate of wages-12a.
and 13e. per week. This decision of the Admiralty has
caused much pain In the Chatham district, and several
of the leading Inhabitants are about to take step to pre.
terve to the pour workmen the slight boon which they
recently received.
The Windsor Castle, 120 guns was launched on Fri-
day week, from the Royal dockyard, Pembroke, and
afterwards towed to one of the yards up Channel to be
equipped for sonsinission.
