Since 1853, the sen "service has fallen into disrepute with the Jabouring classes, as these is a stigma attaching to lads from the reforma tory ships, and unless a lad commits a crime and gets sent to a reformatory ship, there is very little chance of his getting into the. inerchant service as a scaman. Again with School Board education, young men can do better on shore than by going to sea before the mast, and in these days of universal knowledge, they will not put up with indifferent food and dog's holes to live in, in addition to all the other discomforts of a sailor's life in the modem Immp. A good scaman of standing and experience does not care to serve alongside of inexperienced tramps, loafers with hardly a word of English at their command. The scarcity of British seamen is not due to the absence of improvements in their wages corresponding to the rise in wages for indes on shore; for the wages of an able seansan have risen from about 45 per month in 1850 to about to, and to Ho per month at the present time.". If | there are ao means for enabling lads to train and qualify as seamen, how can it be expected that the supply, will be kept up? The official returns are instructive on this point. At the present time there are under 7,000 lads under training, where as in 1850 there were's mething like 36,000 apprentices under training. A large proportion of the 7,000 have paid considerable ∙sums as premium to enable them to qualify as officers. I think I liave said enough to show you that the blame for the scarcity of British seamen is not altogether due to the British shipowner,
.
LIGHT DUES,
Unfortuinely the Government have at- tempted to mix un the question of suprentices, with that of the light dues. The fact is that they have nothing to do with each other.
The light dues were gay granted to defray, the expenses and the cicction and main tenance of the lights on the costs of the United Kingdom. Now, shipowners during the last 45 years have paid as light dues about two million pounds sterling over and above the amount required i light the consts, or about 10 per cent. in excess. The Royal Navy and yachts have paid nothing. This looks like class legislation with a vengeance.
Seamen have also paid to Government under the Act 7 and 8 Wm. 111. Cap. ira. Something like £410,000 sterling in the shape of six-pence per month, deducted from their pay, for certain benefits which they never received, and not one penny of this has ever been returned to seamen, Again the Government deriva considerable revenue from seamen, collected at the various ports under various heads, which appears in the estimates as iniscellaneous receipts, which money should in justice be used for the benefit

Captain Hastings then rose and said -- In moving a hearty vote of thanks to Captain Anderson for his able and instructive address the greatest compliment we can pay him, I think, is to tell him he has made us thoroughly uncomfortable-1 know he has me
Long ago, there was an old cry for “Free Trade and Sailor's Rights. We have got "Free Trade" but what has become of the Sailor's Rights? or lins their acquisition resulted in the extinction of the British mer chant seaman?
When we fought the world, our mercantile fleets were manned and officered by British scamen-the man-of-war's man anil merchant seaman were practically interchangeable-even landsmen were good enough at a pinch. Things are changed now, trained men--and trained ch only can be utilised. · Continental nations have grasped this fact, all, their merchant seanten are trained men, have served in their war feels, and are able to serve again, meanwhile caming a livelihood in the mer- cantile marino. Thus the Continental naival

That is the case as stated by some of our vernacular contempor aries.
