THE GREAT LANDING STAGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN

Sir,—l observe in the report of proceedings by
.the dock committee, on Thursday last, a member
is reported „Co have said "He did not believe it
,was contemplated to have any stied on the landing
stage." Can this possibly be the case ? In addition
to the melee of ill regulated cabmen and porters,
and bad approaches to the stage, are the unfortu-
nate passengers to be exposed to the elements,
and wait, unsheltered, their embarkation, (Ste. !
Pray, sir, exercise your function, and by a timely
word prevent ao monstrous an absurdity while it
is practicable. It the dock committee are to do
their work in this way the grand scheme will be a
discomfort and a reproach rather than a con-
venience and a glory.—Yours truly, VIATOR.

Apologising for further trespassing in asking yon
to insert this notice—l am Sir, your obedient

servant,

LABOURERS' WAGES.—The _Lincolnshire Chronicle is
sorry to learn that several farmers in the Lincoln district
are reducing the wages of their labourers from 15s. to
13s. 6(1. per week. This reducion is quite uncalled for.
Wheat is making rt fair remunerating price ; and beef,
mutton, wool, h irlev, and all other articles of tarm produce
are bringing enormous prices• Rents are being raised, and
farmers are growing rich, and it is bad policy to make the
tillers of the sod spectacles of wretchedness amidst the
universal prosperity. The effect of the ill advised reduction
to which we have referred will bP specldily felt, for the best
men will prepare to emigrate. With Canada within three
weeks sail of England, an.l requiring this year 50,0',10
additional agricultural labourers, who would at once receive
employment at double the wages paid to them in this
country, and the certainty of becoming, if steady and
industrious, the owners of a farm of their own in a few
years, the reduction to which we have referred is a dan-
gerous game.
