2 Stopping the Advance Pay of Salors. The shipping merchants of New York have re- centiy beld several meetings to devise means for improving sailors as a class; also, to render them leas liable to desert and leave the vessels while on a voyage. The resalt of their deliberations was the adoption of a resolution to stop the advance of money to sailors when they shipped on board a ves- sel. The keepers of sailors’ boarding houses have united and formed an association to prevent the resolution of the merchants from being carried into effect. To-day, the lst of July is the time specified for stopping the pre-payment system. Asthere may be some trouble about this matter, and as it is of considerable importance and interest, we give the fcllowing statements of the three parties principally iaterested, viz: merchants, keepers of sailors’ board- ing houses and sailors:— STATEMENT OF A LARGE SHITOWNER AND MER- CHANT. ‘The meetings of the New York merchants were hheid to devise means for the improvement of mari- ners as a Class, to prevent them from being cheated and wronged by the keepers of sailors’ boarding houses, and to insure their remaining on board of a Ship until the completion of her voyage. The way things have been going on for years, is this:—A sailor goes to a boarding house; he is given liquor and made drunk; he cals for more and treats his companions; he knows not whether he runs one shil- ling or forty shillings in debt. The mercnant find- ‘ing bis veasel ready for sea, houee for men; ‘ and unfit for service; he says to oer Inot pay in advance, with which hed migot get ly, “ Yes, that is trae, but any of money.” It all goes to landlords; they have their bilis ready for any amounts that may be paid to the sailors as advance money, and every-cent of it falls inte their clutches. The captains of the vessels have either to give the sailors their own clothes or see them go in their wretched condition of destitu- tion and Toe ship will arrive in Liverpool in sdout twenty five days from sailing. The sailors have been their in advance for two amontas; oe owe = a — and five days wages. So, every one , the momeat the vessel strikes the dock, leaps upon shore aud runs away. There is no way of stopping them. They may shoulder their chests in midday, right before the captain's face, beni 4 them ashore, and be cannot help ‘himself, Our vessels are thus left deserted; we have to get mew crews; thus much time is lost and money expended. But the sailors cannot be claimed; it could hardly ve expected that they would be willing to work a month for nothing, as the landlord has the money, and they cannot receive anything more for their month’s labor. It cannot be expected that they would stop under such circumstances; it isa meceasity of their ition to run away. If instead of no advance money was paid the sailors they might ship witaout clothing, bat the ceptains would carry a of ready made , and let them have what articles they want- ed at wholesale ae Ee oe eel then at Li- verpool or at whatever vr Tors ey might sail,they would receive three or four pounds of their wages for any articles they might wish to hase; but still the vesee] owe them of they owing the vessel; consequen'ly they would not desert the ship when ahe owed them so much money, but retarn with her. When they arrived in New York “4 ckets, Jac! 3 he would we di raace houses by subscription, and yet they seem as class to be gro ving worse. The government oaght 0 make a law that when a man articles to go on board a vessel, and then refuses to do so, he could be arrested and put on board or made to fulfil the ebjigation of his contract. During 1856 from $17 to $40 were advanced to sailors on Liverpool The e wages of sailors no@ is $20 a to yi but to Chi nd other long voyoges from $12 to $16 per month For several years I known seamen’s wages #0 low as they arenow We went to invite the landiords to unite with as in this movement. They would get the money just the same on the retaru of the sailors. While the system of advancing money lasted unecrupulous men took advavtage of it; bogus shipping offices *prung up. and bivodhounds, in the shape of men, stood at every corner, ready to seize on any anfortu- vate creawre. Bogus shipping masters advertised for young men. which caused many a wild youth to leave his home Shipping offices whove duty it was to supply men for our packet ships found t diffi- culty in getting sailors to ship; they to hire runuers to bant op men, and those ranners found there was a sbance for a speculation by aiding and abetting those unscrupulous men in passing off the counterfeit sailors, they receiving ir portion of the advance money. STATSMENT OF TRE KEEPER OF A SAILORS’ BOARD- ING HOUSE. ‘There is not one man out of twenty that comes toa boarding house with enough money to pay nis board for two a they aze ragged and dirty, and we cannot see about the that way, se we baveto give them money to get clothes, &c. Well, there must be tome advance money to pay these expenses of the sailor before he can ship. 1 bave men inthis house now whose board bill alone a months advance pay will not settle; we cannot turn them into the street, so we must have tois ad vance movey. The sailors are all in favor of the ad- vance pay system, for while on shore they want money im their pockets to buy a glass of beer or whatever they may desire; if they do not get their money before suiling they will pot get it wt ali, for when they get in Bar if the chip owes them anything either turn them off or treat them in iy that they cannot remain. worm anode I for poor Jack; fiends ca'led captains mates con- sider it part of their daty to use steel kauckies and iron belaying pins on the heads and faces of the un- happy sailors. The merchants ought to make a strat search for those implements, the use of which on shore is a State prison offence, and the same qpealy eae be attached to their use at sea. But alae law is trampled upon: the merchaat who wante to clevate Jack giving him no advance pay deserts him bere aud sides in favor of nis offi- What can Jack expect in this state of affa rs? He certainly will not trust false friends, bat give em a wide berth. We are able to prove that trere are not more than two shipping offices in New York bat which charge the landlord or sailor a fee ef from ¢ to three doliars for sipping, him; consequently has to enfler this lows also. If the merchants re- the advance pay, we certainly will refuse to les aailors go without paying their board bilia, STATEMENT OF A BAILOR. We are certainly in favor of sdvance pay; it is all we can get. Suppose a sailor goes to Hurope with- out advance pay, and is whipped several ti mes dar: ing the voyage: ongetting ashore, of ‘course he leaves, and then must jose all his wages. He must leave the ship, or coutinne to eadere the insults. he wil! be turned off by the captain, and of course without any recompense for hisservice.

Jadging from present appearances, and speaking only at very early stage of the contest, I should say that they will net in numbers sufficient to caure any damage to Mr Banks. Some of the Fremont Americans yet look shy at him, and thelr action will be governed by future events. Giving to Mr. Banks the republican vote, one half the Fremont Awerican, end one half of the whigs and democrats who supported Fremont, and yet never profnseed to aot with the republican party, aod he will get about 70,000 votes, to be increased by that large and respectable class of voters who bave such a reg) for with tt.
