THY S
z'raix IN THE NORTM.--The strike
among fhe seamen in Sunderland, Shields, Newcastle, and
other northern ports, bite extended to Hull. The demand
of the men as to wages is that they should be paid at the
rate of 31. a month, with small stores (tea and sugar); but
a fertile source of complaint here (Hull), as elsewhere, has
arisen out of the operation of the Itercantile Marine Bill,
especially as to the shipping offices lately opened. Tbe ship-
owners offer V. per month, without the stores; but this, with
few exceptions, has been refused by the men, and the strike
continues upon only the small ground of difference involved
in the cost of the stores, which certainly would not exceed
b,, a month. There have been some threats of violence used
by the
strike towards those of their " mates" who
men in .
have signed articles at the wages offered; but no actual
breach of the peace has occurred, owing, perhaps, to the
precautions which have been taken by the authorities. The
Two Sisters, emigration-ship,
which was to have sailed this
morning with passengers for New York, has not left the dock,
owing to the crew not being
made up. As it was expected
that some force would have been used towards the men who
had signed articles, and as it Lad
that they would be thrown overboard incontinently, a police
force was stationed on board for their protection, and will
continue in the ship until its departure. A sort of watch was,
nevertheless, kept up during the whole of last night by the
seamen on strike, some dozen or two of
whom paced up and
it
down within twenty yards of the vessel,other defi-
nite object, perhaps, than that of holdingwtheh noot hers in ter.
rerena. The leaders of the malcontents, however, express a
wish that the strike should be conducted peaceably.
NATIOATION OP THE RIVER THAMES.—The Right
Honourable the lord Mayor has issued a notice that the
navigation of the river Thames on the ..liddlesex side, under
the fifth and sixth arthes•of Blackfriars-bridge, is for the
present suspended for every description of craft until further
notice. As repairs are now being made in that portion of
i the bridge, it is only a precaulionary measure to prevent all
ctidents.
