BERWICK, OCT. 14.--The seamen of this pott,
following the example of. their brethren in New.;.
castle and other ports, on Saturday last made a de-
'man& On their employers for additiOnal wages,
which being refused, they positively declined go-
ing to sea, and forcibly compelled all those sea-
men that have arrived since that day to join theta.
On Saturday and Monday nearly one hundred
extra constables were sworn in to preserve the
peace, in case the sailors should become riotous,
but they, have 'hitherto conducted themselves in
the most orderly manner, only persisting in their
demands. 'J' he ship-owners have had several in-
terviews with them without being able to effect a
reconciliation..

Peter Smith, Thomas Griffin, and. Wm. Barker,
mariners, were on Sunday committed to the Jail
of Newcastle, charged with riotously assembling
with several others, taking possession of the brig
Jasoti, forcibly preventing the said brig from
proceechng into
the
roads for sea. The above,
howtver.,, we are glad to say, is almost the only
instance Hof gross misconduct t; Lich the seamen at
have inunifested.-
