SEA LAwYERs-San Francisco is afflicted
with chronic curse by having among her
citizens men who are generally known as IS "A

Of the great deeps-the shark-they are the
ravenous wretches who prey upon everything
that they can draw within reach of their vc
racious NAV. We say that theyare publ c
curse, for the reason that they are the prime
and immediate cause of great injury and
detrment TO our commercial interests.
1t is fact, that many Of the whaling cap
tains of the Pacific avoid coming to San Fran
cisco, for the reason that the moment they let
go their anchors in our harbor, they become
the helpless victims of these land sharks, who
usually succeed in robbiug them of their
crews, and footing mp bill of costs that rem
ders their stay anything but profitable
They, therefore, steer clear of this harbor
when they seek a port to reit, and the profits
of TIER trade pass into the pockets of the peo-
pie of Honolulu and other places. We are
informed upon good authority that this is the
main reason why large portion of the whal
ing fleet does not make rendezvous of San
Francisco harbor.
These 'sea lawyers" are very few in num-
Der, some three or four, we believe, but they
are all powerful in systematic swindling ope
rations against whalers and others. We
heard of a case net long ago, where two of
them, who are said to be in partnership, ap-
peared in a suit against vessel recently ar
rived-the one for the plaintiff and the other
for the defendant. 1t is plain case That
that firm had won suit whichever way the
case was decided. We might enumerate mum.
beress instances where the most outrageous
acts of swindlng and villainy have been per-
petrated by the class alluded to, but they
are sufficiently notorious, and do not need to
be particularized at the present time.
We shall take occasion, ere long, to alude
more at length to the subject, and to offer
some suggestions for Legislative action in the

TRADE AND WAGES IN IRELAND.-It is no.
tieed as an evidence of the changed state Of
affairs in Ireland that there has not for many
day been so much activity in the building
trade as at the present time recent Irish
paper says:
I'm Dublin, master pointers, decorators,
DC, find it impossible to procure sufficient
men for the works in hand. and wages in
those branches especially are increased. A
painter OF any capacity will get el los. per
week. This extraordinary demand is easily
accounted for. There has been, since the
famine, steady and very decided increase of
wealth in Ireland, extending to landlords,
farmers, traders, and other classes Former
~ the owners of the soil were sunk deeply
IN improvidence. But all that is changed
now The towns are improving, country
mansions are improved, and many new ones
are in course of erection, and so general is
the demand for artizans that the supply is
inadequate. Besides there are orders for
tradesmen of this class from some parts of
England, and altogether employment is much
more active and labor is better remunerated
than perhaps at any former period The ac
counts from Ulster show that employment is
more brisk in the linen trade, and that the
prospects are improving"
