Sailors Combination.-The packet ship John
Jay, for Liverpool, and Henri w, for Havre,
sailed this morning, at the usual hour having
been detained one day in consequence of the
sailors combination. Our distant readers may
perhaps need to be informed, that combna-
ton has existed among the sailors of this port,
or many of them, for a number of months past,
abetted by most of the sailors landlords, the OBJ
ject of which is to control the price OF seamen's
wages. The price they demand is Is dollars
per month, which is two dollars more than they
could command on the principles Of free trade.
The Captains of the John Jay and Henri w.,
not holding themselves bound by any illegal re-
strictions engaged their men, through notares,
at ID dollars; but the seamen who were engag-
ed finding that much excitement existed among
their fellows, and being apprehensive of person
al violence if they actually went on board ap
piled on the afternoon OF the 22d for release
from their engagement, which was accordingly
granted. The owners sent Immediately to Phi
iadelphia for the necessary number of hands,
which were easily obtained at satisfactory rates
and arrived here early this morning. AT 10
O'Clock the ships were taken in tow by steam
boats, and are now on their way to their ports

on the other side She was tenderly entreating
drunken father, to go home. He started Oh.

and almost fell into the gutter. the little thiDgIf.
terally braced herself against the pavement, acd

name that throws an interest over the

Of unconscious genius, by his own cul-
ture, grew up to those capacities which
fitted him for those brilliant parts which
he afterwards enacted on the theatre Of
the revolutionary war. An interest not
