A Deputation from the Committee of the " Alleged
Lunatic's Friend Society" had the honour of an interview
with his Excellency, Abbott Lawrence, Esq., at his residence,
Piccadilly, respecting the state of the lunacy laws in this
country and in the States of the American Republic, on
Tuesday, the 28th instant. Mr. Lawrence is the well-known
Minister and Envoy Extraordinary from the Federal Go-
vernment of the United States.
THE SAILORS' STRIKE IR THE NORTH.—The strike
among the seamen in Sunderland, Shields, Newcastle, and
other northern ports, has extended to Hull. The demand 1
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 (
as elsewhere, has
arisen out of the operation of the Mercantile Marine Bill,
especially as to the shipping offices lately o . Petted. The ship-
owners offer 31. 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
inthe cost of the Stores, which certainly would not exceed
ss. a month. There have been some threats of violence used
by the men in strike towards those of their " mates" who
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
w
Two Sisters, emigration-linplhich 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 had been intimated to them
that they would be thrown overboard incontinently, a police
force was stationed on board for their protection, and will
continue in the ship nntii its departure. A sort of
.watch was,
nevertheless, kept up during the wholo of last night by the
seamen on strike, some dozen or two of whom paced up and
down within twenty yards of the vessel, with no other defi-
nite object, perhaps, than that of holding the others in ter-
rorem. The leaders of the malcontents, however, express a
wish that the strike should be conducted peaceably.
NATIGATION OP THE ItivEß THAMES.—The Right
Honourable the Lord Mayor has issued a notice that the
navigation of the river Thames on the tliddlesex side, under
the fifth and sixth arches 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
the bridge, it is only a precaulionary measure to prevent all
accidents.
