London, May 12. Yesterday morning a large body of sailors
assembled in Stepney-Fields, and proceeded through the city,
to petition the Parliament for a regulation of their wages
as in other trades. They were very orderly in their
proceedings, had flags in front, in center, and in rear,
with fiddles playing before them, and several ringleaders
with Boatswains Whistles were interspersed throughout., who
answered one another, and regulated the whole body. . . [6
