CLAIM FOR SEAMEN'S WAGER.-At the Police-court, on
Friday, eight seamen appeared before Mr. Mansfield, each
claiming from Messrs. James Baines and Co. the sum of
£l6 10s., being wages at the rate of £4 10s. per month, on
board of the Ocean Chief, from this port to Sydney. It ap-
peared that on arriving at Sydney, the Commodore Perry,
another of Messrs. Baines and Co.'s ships, was lying there
short of men. Captain Tobin, of the Ocean Chief, asked if
any of his men would volunteer to go in her to Bombay for
£2O. Eight agreed to do so ; but Captain Tobin refused to
give them either their discharge or their wages for the voyage
from Liverpool to Sydney. The men, however, sailed to Bom-
bay in the Commodore Perry, where each was paid his £2O,
and returned to Liverpool in another vessel. Mr. Forshaw,
for the defence, argued that when sailors make extra large
wages by volunteering from one ship to another, it was not
customary to pay them the wages in the first ship, as they
made more money by leaving her than by remaining in her.
Mr. Mansfield said he would adjournthe case till he had taken
the opinion of an experienced shipmaster on the subject, par-
ticularly with reference to the articles of release.

THE NEW MAYOR.

ON Friday, Mr. JOHN STEWART was elected to the
highest honour in the power of the Corporation of
Liverpool to bestow, by the unanimous voice of the
Town Council, who on this occasion represented most
fully not only the opinions of their constituents, but
also those of the whole community. A better choice
could not have been made ; and whilst we congratulate
STEWABT on having attained a dignity which is
worthy of ambition, and which no man had more
fairly and honourably earned, we also congratulate the
ratepayers of Liverpool in having the good fortune to
be governed by a chief magistrate so deserving of the
elevation. Mr. STEWART has long been conspicuous

Estate by the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock
property, is mainly owing to the indefatigable labours
the welfare of Liverpool. The architect of his own
of the new Mayor, and his ever watchful regard for
fortunes, he is a living testimony to the truth that
honour and worth from no condition rise. He pre-
sents an example worthy of imitation by the rising
youth of Liverpool ; and in taking his seat at the
head of the corporation of this great town, he practi-
cally proclaims not only that integrity, industry, and
perseverance meet with their reward, but that public
services are appreciated, and deemed to be the most
fitting qualification for the Mayor of Liverpool.
We cordially wish him every prosperity in the year
of office before him. Succeeding so estimable and
popular a Mayor as Mr. TOBIN, the task before him
is not an easy one ; but we entertain not the slightest
doubt, from all we have known of Mr. STEWART, that
the office of Mayor will in his hands lose none of its
lustre ; and that, at the close, the unanimous vote of
thanks for his valuable services will be mingled with
regret for the loss of them.
