Dinnpore, October I, 145.
The 2d European Regiment is expected to leave Ca Berhounpore about
the 12th or 13th. Boab are very scarce, and such as tun be got are very
small. We have had some rain lately, which bae relieved us In a great
measure from the opprsr.ive heat. The epidemic, which noted here and
at Bunkipore s.. reverely, has nearly disappeared ; but It has been sm..
seeded by the cholera morbus, which carries nil a considerable number hi
the dame daily.

MoNTRnEE, MARcii 31.—Our ships destined for the
Straits fishing are ready fur sea, and will sail as soon as an
accommodation takes place between the owners and seamen
respecting their wages. The owners, on account of the
unsuccessful fishery last season, resolved to take three
pence off the ton of oil money. The owners of other ves-
sels, because freights are lower, wished also to reduce the
wages ; but the seamen, without entering into any com-
bination, each separately following the dictates of his own
interest, have refused to accept of these terms. This is
exactly the way that masters and men should treat with
one another respecting their wages. Masters cannot be
blamed for endeavouring to get their work done at as cheap
a rate as they can. Neither can there he any blame at-
tached to the men for endeavouring to sell their lahour as
high as possible. The peaceable manner in which the sea-
men are bargaining for their wages is certainly praise-
worthy. An accommodation has taken place with some,
and to these settlements no interruption is given by the
body of outstanding seamen. All our ships for Davis'
Straits have sailed this morning, although the crews of some
of them are not complete. Three of our vessels sailed this
week for the Baltic. We are happy to learn, that already
upwards of a dozen have obtained freights for the same
quarter. Freights are lower than they were last summer;
but a ship-owner informs us that they are fully higher
than was expected. A good summer's trade is c;:lculated
upon bete.-21fast,ore Chrimicle.
