STRIKE OF SEAMEIT.---We are informed that our sailors
are now going to take a turn at " striking." The signal
is to be the coming into operation of the Merchant Ship-
ping Bill. The strike is to be general. They argue that
if they decline to sail in British ships, and a few thousand
of them take their passage in American liners, they will
relieve the market, and confine the shipments to foreign
vessels. There is a sort of freemasonry among them to
desert British ships abroad, and not to sail with foreigners.
They say if foreigners are to be introduced for the express
Purpose of lowering wages, they, the owners, shall man
vessels wholly with foreigners. This spirit is giving cause
for much embarrassment, for seamen are not very plentiful
in England, and the demand exceeds the supply in the
mitinental Pert• The Dutch are quite distressed for
seamen, and it is anticiriated that the strike and desertions
of British seamen from British ships will inflict great
iniurY.
