number of fashionable and highly reputable visitors from the oppo.
site shore.—The expected sojourn of the Duchess. de Base

throwing the reading-desk and pulpit into one.

THE LATE RIOTS AT SUNDERLAND.

FROM THR YORE Hattaut.
From a hand-bill now before Us, it appears that is
commiseration of the situation of the seamen, " The
Associate.l Trades" of Sunderland, have resolved to
,give up part of their funds, and part of their weekly
ages to support the seamen, and to forward a sub-
scription for the widows and children of the deceased,
Tranquillity is now restored at Sunderland, but there
is no app mr.ince of an adjustment of the dispute be.
twerp the shipowners and the seamen; indeed, if a
report m-ntioned by our correspondent be true, that
tl,c seamen zre determined not to heave ballast, theta
is little o'lability of a speedy' adjustment.•—ln ad-
dition to the squadron of the Sd Dragoons, captain-
, Pemberton's troop of the Tyne Hussars was also called
out, and was on duty several days. It has now been
di ;charged from further attendance. The following
ar, the names of the persons who were killed :
Richard Wallace, who has left two children, and a widow* In a,::
dying state; Thomas Aird, a widow and one child; John Dover
a widow pregnant and three children; Ralph Creighton, a single
man; James Quigley, a widow and three children.
The case of Ralph Creighton is peculiarly afflicting.
This young man was in no way connected with the
turbance. He was a shipwright, who was not out of
his time, and had merely gone down to the beach to
witness the proceedings.

The Marquis and Marchioness of HAsTINos, on their
road to Loudon Castle, in Scotland, called to see Mrs. BURPS, the
widow of the Poet, and examined, with much interest, the relics of
the Bard's festive board at the Dumfries Burns Club.
A duel was fought on Friday, a short distance from
Cal.'s, between a Mr. Sxrrn, formerly of dermyn-street, and Mon-
sieur Premix in consequence of a dispute at a gaming table at Ca-
lais. Monsieur PITAIID was dangerously wounded in the side in
the first fire, and the ball has not been extracted.
Thursday night, a fine French lugger, with above
300 kegs of spuits on board, was captured by the AR-
ROW cutter, Lieutenant POWNEY, and brought in.o
Hastings the following morning.
THE SHIP-BUILDERS AND SHIPWRIGHTS OF THE
THAI/E?.—lt appears that a deputation from the mas-
ter ship-builders of the port of London arrived at
Portsmouth, sanctioned by the Navy Commissioners, to
engage such of the shipwrights in his Majesty's Dock-
yard as might be disposed to volunteer their services to
proceed for a limited period to work in the river
Thames. The offers made by the deputation of Lon-
don masters were extremely tempting. The dock-yard
men were offered an engagement of three months, at
the established prices for shipwrights' work in the port
of London, with an express guarantee, that if the wages
should fall short of is. 6d. per day, it shoul.l be made
up to that amount. They were to be conveyed free of
expense to London, and an advance made if reqUired.,
About 160 of the men gave in their names as volun-
teers, for the trip to London, but the others requested
an adjournment fer a few days. At that time Mr. Gast,
the Secretary of the Thames Provident Union, arrived,
and attended the Meeting. Mr. Gast engaged to use
his utmost endeavour to induce the shipwrights of the
Thames to return to work in every yard without
exception, provided the builders agree to certain
resolutions. It was also agreed that if the ship•
builders refused to confirm the arrangement, the ship-
wrights of Portsmouth would on no consideration pro-
ceed to the River Thames to their assistance; but that
if the shipwrights of the Thames should refuse to con-
firm, and act on them, the shipwrights would assist the
ship-builders. The representatives Of the two parties
have since returned to town, and the shipwrights of
Portsmouth stand pledged, on no consideration, to pro•
ceed to the River Thames ' • while the shipwrights of the
Thames are reconciled to their masters, on the condi-
tion that the price-book be taken by every builder, and
that the price of every item should be conclusively set-
, tied by the parties.
