the pritAte letters received from Newcastle state,
that the combination amongst the seamen appears en-
tirely settled. At Sondeiland every thing was very
quiet; they had never proceeded to the lengths of
the sailors at Newcastle, Shields, &c. At the latter
pits the colliers were getting under weigh, and pro-
ceeding to sea as fast as the crews could be procuri.d.
Altogether about 4.0 ringleaders ILA been taken—!t)

Grace the Duke of Northumberland. in order to he

situation of the port of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The

in disappointment to the public. 'Alter seemingly

ening from Sunderland, after. drinking cold water,
fell dowo deed. It is now discovered that the mis-
guided men have been administering unlawful oaths
to each other, walking under a painted arch formed
by two sticks.
" Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
last, tvwards of 500 special constables were sworn in
by the Magistrates acting for the East Division of
Castle-ward. Kiny of them Gentlemen, substantial
householders, ship-owners, wad spirited tradesmen,
belonging to North ShielLis and their vicinity. The
same has taken place at Smith Shields.
" Some small vessels have been allowed to depart,
by the Committee of seamen, from the port on paying
the inch finite contribution exacted by them. When
the money is paid, the ship hoists a jack at the main-
topgallant-mast-head.
" Several of the boxes, containing the quarterly
subscriptions for payment of seamen's widows and
children, have this week had some hundreds of pounds
taken out of them.

Wednesday, the Royal Westminster regiment of
Militia arrived at Sunderland by sea, and immedi-
ately matched trom thence. They are now in Tyne.

with ammunition, were sent from the deaot at isle..v.
castle, to Tynemoutit Castle. _ _

" Thursday, one of the sailers (a mate of a ship)
having broke from the mob, was sworn in a special
constable; in an hour after, his house was broken
into, door frames and all i.kstroyed, himself taken
violently; after knocking down three or four of the
ringleaders, he was mace fast by the middle, and
hung on a gallows, at Low Lights, near the men of •
war a atier hanging some time, his body (not much
irjaked, except in the stluggic) was cut down, soused
in 4 tut: of water, and tln.n allowed to walk amongst
the breakers of the King's peace.

of the vessel much injured. Two boys who were in
the halt-Jerk asleli, knew nothing of it till awakened
by the people from the shore. The Captain of the
Hawk, (11::nIcy), of Londrn, has given strong cir-
cumstantial evidence; his ship was boarded an hour
before, by very suspicious persons, one particularly so.
44 A reward of 500 guineas is offered for a disco-

in his zeal in quelling the fire, had two ribs broke,
And was otherwise much injured."
