During the last fourteen days considerable stir has
been created at Montrose, from a di:pute betwixt the
shipowners and seamen regarding the rate of wags for
the ensuing season. The rate paid last year was 37. per
month ; aid, considering the depression the shipping
interest has sustained, the owners at first this season
made oiler of 21. 155., being a reduction of ss. This
oiler was refused by the men, and, after numerous moet-
ing betwixt the parties, a great number are now on
board at 21. 10s. per month, tieing ss. less than they

dismount, and the footpad having found 9 f. 10 sous its

LONDON:
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1842.

Our country is placed at present, with refer-
ence to parties and to statesmen, in a peculiar
and unfortunate position. The Tories, from a
preformed theory of bringing up the revenue to
• the expenditure—never dreaming of cutting
down the expenditure to the revenue—have re-
solved to impose on us an onerous and iniquitous
additional tax, while the Whigs, having in office
professed a somewhat similar doctrine, and
being in fact the authors of a large pm tion
of that expense which the Tories assert justifies
additional taxation, cannot give an effective and
zealous opposition to the Tories. They mean
to oppose the income tax, because they object to
that particular Way of raising the supplies; but
they have throughout admitted that the Govern-
. ment must have an additional revenue. Thus
the country, which is at this moment groaning
under an enormous burden of taxation, can have
no hope of effectual relief from either party, for
both agree that more money must be had for the 11
Government.
