SAILORS' WAGES.—SHIELDS, THURSDAY NIGHT.—
Sailors' wages in the coal trade to London have been
61. per voyage from all the northern ports during the
winter. Coal freights, however, are very high, and a
meeting of sailors delegates, representing Hartlepool,
Sunderland, the Tees, Shields, and Newcastle, has been
held in South Shields, this evening, with the object of
procuring a rise in wages commensurate with the ad-
vance in freights. After the opinions of the seamen of
the various ports were given, it was unanimously re-
solved to advance the wages from 6/. to 71. per London
voyage to-morrow morning, and 14 days hence to 81. per
voyage. At a large meeting of the body of seamen
afterwards held in the Market-place these resolutions
were confirmed. The owners will pay the advance.
