The announcement made during the past week
that the wages of the ship carpenters of Liverpool
were about to he advanced, has been seized upon
by the Free Trade party as a triumphant proof of

shipowners have carried out the practice. What-
ever may have been the cause of the present activity,
however, we cordially congratulate the carpenters

to those employers, who have so promptly and, we
believe, without solicitation, come forward to confer
it upon them. A question suggests itself to us,
whilst referring to this matter. Would it not be

vise to seize upon the present moment for taking
ome active steps for accommodating the building►

trade ? The necessity for such accommodation has
been already proved by the Select Committee of the
Council, which lately sat upon the subject.
