Sruisra seem still spreading through the country! with the rapida) of a contagious disease. Scarcely say departnien of society in which labourers work f or hire has he en free from the operation of these e ignitiaant iut, eruptions to the ordinary routine of Wi•Liout attempting to deny the pi rfect right of any s• t of labourers to refuse to work for less than they :pink the fair market price of their toil. there is still very great reason for doubt ing whether tie generality of the labourers in the prtoent it-::,nee have as much reason as right on their side. tln the other hand, it is quite certain that the uwaus which many of the participators in the strikes have employed to coerce contumacious o f th' it own body, put them entirely be yond the reach ••t' the sympathies of the fair-dealing portion of their countrymen. The right that any ooe has to strike is no more valid than that of an other to reotw to juin him. 'this is con stantly being forgotten by werkmen. They, in almost evee instance which has happened during the last few week+, have been tempted to use vio lence to carry cut their ends. But when one set of labourrrs can ieuly obtain the assistance of others is strike by cot Trion, they confess by this eery fact that the strike is illegitimate. A strike is legitimate , only alien the labourers arc not receiving such ooges us would be fairly decided upon if the relation of the supply of labour to the demand were subjected :o accurate adjustment. There will be no need for labourers to strike when capitalists find the supply 14 labour inadequate to the demand. Labourers do not strike iu Australia. Masters, in deed, try to Pule, but it is useless. If masters in Australia and California were to waylay, and beat, and otherwise ill-treat contumacious members of the r body, who yielded to what seine considered the extnivagant demands of labourers, they would be guilty of the same kind of absurdity sod itumoraliey as characterises the conduct of some I ebourers amongst us here. If :he butchers at Manchester were to maltreat one of their number for selling meat to the labourers on strike a penny a pound cheaper than the rest, the labourers would have a list ly example of the absurdities and injus tice of interference with the legitimate course of trade. The whole error on the part of the workmen arises treat the contused notions which are current upon the subject of wages. Unconsciously they cling to the old mediaeval idea, that services are to be repaid by a gilt dependent upan the generosity of a master, and not by a 'eminent dependent upon th e v alue of those services in the market. One of the orators at the meeting of the dock labourers on Thursday evening—alluding to the men who had complied with the terms of the Dock Company— said : " A few labourers had gone in, but they were not Englishente ; they were English bastards, and a disgrace to their fellow-men." 'the logic of this assertion is not worth investigating; it i the feeling. Why are a set of men to be declared infamous because they sell their lubour at the highest price it is worth in the market? But it is not the highest price, re• plies the orator. "The labourers," he continued, "that were now in the docks could not do half the work, and the company would find that out to their own loss." Very well, if this is the case there will be no need of violence. If there are no labourers to be got but those on strike, the company will per force yield to the demand for increased wages. If, how ever, the labour market is so stocked, that the company an after a little time and trouble find others to fill the places of the seceders, not all the violence possi ble to be employed can make a strike successful. Whatever advantages are obtained fur a moment are certain to be speedily lost. If the workmen knew just so much of the law of supply and demand as would teach them to recognise the fact that when labour as well as any other article is plentiful it must be cheap, and when scarce it must be dear, what a vast amount of good must arise. Strikes would then seldom take place, except under circumstances whi:h legiti mised their occurrence. When, however, they are told, as the Dock Company have told them, that the fairness of the bargain between the company and themselves depends not upon the value of the labour, but on the price of provisions, then there is no wonder that the visas they put forward are as illogical as those of their teachers. lie moat unpleasant feature in the present state of things is the ferocity which many of the men on strike have been guilty of. The conduct of the cabmen at the commen ce ment of the strike was dis creditable to that fraternity. Smashing cabs and making drivers fly for their lives, was bad enough, but the strike of the dyers at Man chester has been marked by features of still greater brutality. A band of 70 or SO work men, after amusing themselves during the morning of Tuesday last by throwing stones on the roof and windows of the manufactory of Mr. CRomprosr, made in the evening a resolute attack on the house. After having forced their way in, they cruelly beat the men at work, and then made an onset on the owner. This gentleman, about sixty years of age, was sassimi by the police from the hands of half a dam ruffians who were maltreating him with sticks and staves. Such occurrences as these are indicative of an amount of brutality, as well as ignorance, which leads us to look mournfully upon all Strikes. The only remedy we can see is in the possible education of the men by their very failures. In the meantime the law must be vindicated, and men on strike must learn that they can only be permitted to nee just such weapons of combination as are allowed to their employers. If we must have Strikes, let them be distinguished by manly Fair Play on both bides. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. It is not surprising that while the Czar's answer to the proposition of the Four Powers is unknown, the sets done by his ord-rs in Moldo-Wallachia should be taken as some guide to the disposition with which he will receive the arrangement now offend to him. We have seen the Russian troops, not resting in a mere " occupation" of the principality, moved down until they occupy the very positions hest adapted for assailing Bervia and Bulgaria. The Czar has for mally substituted himself for the Sultan as sovereign of the two provinces, by requiring that tribute of the Hospodars which by ancient compact they owe to the Porte. And now new advances in the same path are reported. The Patric publishes the intelli gence that "the Russian government, while leaving to the reigning princes of Moldavia and Wallachia their title and their nominal power, has decided that there shall be joined to them a council of govern ment, composed of three members appointed by the Czar. All affairs are to be submitted to this council, whose decisions will be sovereign." In other words, the government will be vitally and entirely Russian, the shadowy local princes being retained to cover its acts with their signature, and give a colour of legality to its acts. Moreover, we are told by the same authority that "a contribution in kind has been ordered" by the invaders, who qua deal with the Principalities as conquered terri tory. Further, we are told that "several young Boyards, having manifested their discontent at the exactions committed by the troops who occupy the country, were immediately incorporated in the Rus sian army, where they will be compelled to serve for three years." And lastly, "Jassy and Bucharest are to be fortified in inch a manner as to be able to sup port the operations of the Russian army." There is no denying that this seriei of tangible facts is calculated to trouble the prripect of Eastern affair+. The Exchanges of Londe,a and Paris have yielded to their depressing tenchmey. Those who in the teeth of daily recurringkcts persisted in believ ing in the wisdom, moderat:on, and rectitude of the 1 . 11 E EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1853. ta.,vering from the heavy &Be they have experienced, the Three per rents. for cash having rt'Sained,„ and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents, 10c.; t.ke Three Demme, Aro. 5. per Cents. and the Four-and-a-Half per Cen is. for It has now been officially announced that her the account, 20c. each, Bank Stock, however; has Majesty will arrive at Kingstown on the _ ' 9th inst., again given way 15f.

The 4th and jith corps darme , e have now passed the Pruth ; that is, 21 infantry regiments, 12 regiments of hussars and Cassaeks from the Don, making together 110,04)0 meo, with 32 batteries, part of which form a siege train. These forces, as you are already aware, occupy the south of Wui lachia, or, to speak more distinctly, the left bank of the Danube. Until yesterday we believed that hardly more than 143,000 or 011,000 Russians were in the Principalities, but the following estimate is probably nearer the mark—in the two Principali ties between 1110,000 and 110,000 men ; in Bessarabia, a reserve of 85,000 men. In addit:ou to the second reserve army near Warsaw, there is to be a third Inver Tula, to the south of Moscow, which, in case of need, will reinforce the al iny acting on the Asiatic- Turkish frontiers. All the preparations announce a campaign of some duration, and the contracts for supplies have been concluded up to next year. Ru mours arrive simultaneously trotn Constantinople and Vienna that a powerful Russian army, which will be under the command of Prince Paskiewitz, is as sembling on the frontiers of Armenia in the direction of El zeroum. The Pays professes still to be Conti lent of a pacific solution of the Eastern question, and remarks that the new complication cansed by the p oceedings of Russia towards the Ilospodar of Moldavia, however inexcusable these may be, will not prove an obstacle to the arrangement of the Eastern question, if the Em peror of Russia will accept the condition of the eve , cuation of the Principalities. 'the Czar has ordered the Baltic fleet to be equipped and go to r.ea immediately. The fleet consists of about twenty ships of the line and fifteen frigates. SPAIN.

The surcharge fixed by the 4th article of tho law of the 13th April, 1832, on the importation of corn and flour in foreign ships, will cease until the 31st December next. PARIS, FRIDAY EViNINO. Some attention has been paid to-day to an article by M. de la Guerronnire, in the Pays, entitled the "Poliey of Peace." If, as some think, the principal object of the article was to support the Bourse, its success has not been signal, the reaction from the depression of the last two days having been very trifling. The main scope of M. de la Guerronniere's argument is to show that the concurrence of Austria and Prussia in the propositions now under the consi deration of the Emperor of Russia could only have been obtained by that moderate and patient policy which has been taxed with vacillation and weakness. This concurrence constitutes, he says, an " implicit alliance" of the four powers, and, reasoning from that vefy hasty assumption, he argues that the " speedy solution of the present difficulty must be a peace without weakness or a war with east danger." This theme is developed with that extraordinary prodigality of words for which this writer is so remarkable. The most im portant part of the article is a distinct assertion that France would not have moved at all in the Eastern question without the co-operation of England, from which it may be inferred that if England should yet hesitate, France will not go forward. The alloniteur contains a list for 49 departments et the presidents, vice-presidents, and score brim of the councils-general, nominated by the Emperor for the sessions of 1853. The principle introduced on December 2, 1831, of assuring the subserviency of all representative bodies by the direct pressure of the executive power, bee been carefully attended to in the selection. With very few exceptions, the persons appointed to regu late and record the proceedings of local deliberative assemblies in theory . elective, and supposed to repre sent freely the opinions of their respective districts, sn placemen or courtiers. A little later in the year the Moniteur will speak of the happy unanimity of opinion prevailing in the councils =twith regard to every act of the government. rill be nothing wonderful in this unanimity, beano the councillors, besides that they were them- Niro elected by that infallible process of regulated wafversal suffrage held up by the Charirari as worthy of adoption by the Emperor of Russia, will see in every president • man ready to-morrow to bloomy an extraordinary commissioner, transporting without evidence to Algeria and Cayenne, and in every secretary the keeper of a black book, in which any independent expression of an opinion would be diligently recorded against them. The following are some of the most remarkable names in this list: MM. Quentin Bauchart, Councillor of State and Extraordinary Commissioner; Marshal Magnan ; M. Fould, Minister of State ; M. Fortoul, Minister of Public Instruction ; M. Abbatucci, Minis ter of Justice; M. Binenu, Minister of Finance; the Count de Moray • General the Marquis d'Hant pout, Grand Refereedary of the Senate ; M. Trop. long, President of the Senate and of the Court of Cessation ; M. de Royer, Procureur-General of the Court of Cessation; Generals do Lourmel and de Goyon, Aides-de-Camp to the Emperor; Prince de Beauvau, Senator; M. Rouher, Vice-President of the Council of State ; and M. Daviel, l'rocureur- General. The editor of the Si, lch , was summoned to the Mi nistry of the luterior to day tube privatelyadmonished on account°, a recent critique by M. E. Pelletan upon the writings of Jules Janin, in which the expression ccured " Who could have thought that the time could ever arrive when I, I'elletsn, should he es teemed a Brutus, and you, Janiu, a Cato." This was considered an unwarrantable reflection upon the go vernment. _ _ . A man named Jean lkdidier, formerly a postillion in the service of the Duchess of Angouleme, and af terwards a groom in the Count de Chambord's sta bles, has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment and a floe of 500 fr. for speaking disrespectfully of a portrait of the Empress. The editor of the Chat des Alpes has been sent to prison for three months for an offence against the person of the Emperor. The contract for completing the harbour of Cher bourg has been adjudged to a Marseilles company at tho sum of 5,400,000 fr. According to the cnhier de charges, the basin and the -quays are to be finished by January 1, 1858. A great sensation has been!produced:at Toulouse by a judgment of the civil tribunal against Nl. Francois Sans, an ex-deputy, and former mayor of Toulouse, condemning him to pay the amount of some bills of exchange drawn by himself, and fraudulently abstracted by him from the papers of his uncle lately deemed. As soon as the ju.l.pnent was r.ronounced, the Procureur-Imperial, uccom panir,d by several officers of jay' ice, proceeded to M. Siris' house to arrest him, but he was not to be fi.,und. Warrants for his arrest have beer, sent out in all directions. The Bourse today has exhibited a more cheerful I aspect than for the past few days., ltentes are re. REVIEW OF TILE SPITHEAD FLEET BY THE QUEEN. PORTSMOUTH, ACOUST S. To-day it is officially notified at this port that a review of the fleet at Spithead by her Majesty has been decided upon, and that it will take place on Thursday next. There are now 23 men-of-war at the above anchorage, and other ships are hourly expected. Her Majesty will return to Osborne on Tuesday, and on Wednesday evening the Lords of the Admi ratty will, it is understood, arrive at this port to take part in the naval review. The fleet will proceed to the back of the Isle of Wight, and perform a variety of evolutions of a most imposing character. The review of the fleet is to be on a scale of mag nitude and splendour never before witnessed. As at present arranged, the different vessels composing the fleet will move into action at 11. It is stated that the Admiralty will place steam vessels at the disposal of the members of both houses of parliament, and other eminent persons; and from Gosport an ample supply of boats for the general public will be provided, to enable them to view the manoeuvres to advantage. Every facility, in the shape of early express trains between the metropolis and Gosport and other parts of the line, will be provided by the South Western Railway, so as that the immense mass who will con gregate to see this unparalleled spectacle may do so , with every convenience to themselves. MEETING OF LABOURERS AT BONNER'S- FIELDS. Lent evening, at 6 o'clock, an adjourned meeting of the London Dock labourers was held in Bishop Banner's Victoria-park, for the purpose of carrying on the recent strike in the London Docks, and to receive deputa tions from the St. Katherine's, East India, and West India Docks. At the opening of the meeting there were about 1,200 present, but by 8 o'clock there were no fewer than 3,000 persons a-sembled, who conducted themselves in the I most orderly and peaceable manner. The business of the evening was opened by A LABOURING MAN from the London Docks, who said he was proud to inform the meeting that since they sepa rated last night the labourers of St. Katharine's Docks had turned out in a manful and upright manner. (Vehement cheering.) Ile could see many hundreds round him, and he fully expected that by . to-morrow (Saturday) morn ling, to have the men with them from the East and West India Docks. (Renewed cheering.) The rima had taken up their cause in a creditable way, and so would other journals if they carried on their pro ceedings in a proper manner. Their cause of complaint was a just one, and such was the wonderful increase of shipping in the mercantile world that the imports and ex ports of this country were increasing annually. The three. tots of the London Docks could not get men sufficient to work their vessels. If they only remained firm for a few days the company most give in. (Hear) What had the oempany done that day to try and get hands ? Why, they had sent round to the various workhouses at the east end of London to get the poor old paupers—(loud cries of " shame")—and, more than that, they had sent for men to Greenwich Hospital—disabled seamen. What could the peer old fellows do ? especially being in the habit of living on water gruel. (Laughter.) They could not do the work ; it was utterly impossible. He hoped that every man that bait gone in would leave and support their cause, and not enter the gates of any of the docks until the dire.- tors gave them its, per day, for it was better for them to undergo a few days privation and want than years of slavery and grinding tyranny. (Loud cheers.) The speaker shortly afterwards retired, when several labourers from St. Kutharine's Docks addressed the meet ing, showing in strong terms their right for an advance of wages. At this stage of the proceedings the deputations from the East and West India Looks labourers made their ap pearance in the corner of the field, followed by • crowd of working men, in front of whom was borne a large white banner, on which was printed in conspicuous letters, East and West India Docks. Brothers, be firm. 3s. and no surrender." The men walked into the centre of the meeting, and were received with the most hearty cheering ; and *ken some order was obtained, several of the deputation addressed the spectators, and from what could be gleaned in the bustle and confusion it was understood that the la bourers in the East and West India Docks were to strike on Saturday morning (this day) at eight o'clock, if the di rectors did nut give its, per day. Several speeches were delivered, after which the meeting was again adjourned, and all separated in a quiet manner. A number of the police of the K division were present. A SPECIMEN OP RUSSIAN LEGISLATION.—The Russian government (says the Prankfol Journal), ties just published the following ordonnance relative to the Jewish ceremonial observed in the celebration of marriages :—As the custom in Jewish marriages of cu'.ting oil a port of the hair of the bndu depends in a :general way on the will of the Rabbis or of the J I wish priests, the latter shall for the future abstain from that ceremony b7,' giving an efigs2e ment in writing. Those who shall re4'.ore to enter into this engagement shall be liable to corß•.,eniant in a house of correction fur from two to three years. In the event of a priest disobeying this ordonnar. se b e shall be immediately inclrpora , ed in the active I tr,y, and if he is not fi t for mili tary duty, he shall pass frou - 10 to 12 years in a penal mili tary section. Any Jews„ who shall submit to the cere mony shall be eondurr.ned to a fine of five silver roubles, to be paid into the twail for Jewish stadia* establishments. NA VAL. PORTSMOUTH, Auc. S.-The exercise of the Portsmouth Royal Dockyard Battalion was brought to a close for the season last night, when the artillery companies went through a lengthened practice in tiring shot from 12 light six pound guns, and from the new battery at the north end of the dockyard. The Admiral Superintendent, Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, CR., was ,present during the practice, which was of a very efficient character. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steam ship, Captain 11. B. Mar tin, C. 8., shipped her new screw at Spithead last night. This is her permanent screw made of a composition of iron, brass, tkc., and possessing greater strength than the east iron experimental screw ; the two fans of which the Duke of Wellington broke off iu her recent trial. The Alban steamer, which arrived from the West Indies yesterday, sailed to day for the eastward. The Avon, steamer, re turned to Plymouth last night with supernumerary stamen tur the ships there, and the Sprightly , steamer, arrived here today from Plymouth, with other supernumeraries for ships at this port. the Conflict, screw sloop, was taken into dock to-day. She is to ship another new screw for trial. The Magicienne, 16, and Valorous, 16, steam frigates, saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief to-day, which the Victory acknowledged. LEEDS POLlCE.—Yesterday (Friday), the Leeds police•force made a manitestati in of dissatisfaction with their rate of wages. While on parade, a memorial to the Watch Committee, for an advance of wages, was generally acquiesced in, and was subsequently presented to the Watch Committee of the Town. Council, no sum being named. The reply of the Watch Committee was moderate, but they de - , dined at prereu• to make any advance. TIM STRIKE AT THE DOOM—Last evening a telegraphic dispatch was received at Chelmsford, requiring hands to be sent up, and the town Ivis been placaid“l with a notice that men are wanting at the London Docks, and offering preferable work. to those of good character— s Chelmsford Chronick. 3 1 LONDON .4ND _YOUTH IrEsTERN .124iLWAT. --- The half-yearly accounts to be presented to the halGyvatly meeting, at the Euston station, on 12th August, have just been issued. cc:lo ll: L i n e n. n ,g. u nhe e :l r A pit:e c te e bt e o ..o u l n 2,e t ut ,21350 D 0c3 r . dtp;e(.onnr.wcaeinr;en.ei of repairs ;:vr, renewal 8 tin s of , &c., 52,467/. 2..2d.; 1: 1 , 02t 1 h 7 1 7 .1 4 .6 1. 331 1 7 6 1,. ... police menus, viz .:— wage. and gratuities to police, 1 4 011 a 'V. nil, lamps. &c., ' lb. 61; morchandista trutlic expenses, 92,4811. 19.. 7d. ; repairs and renewal of waggons (net). 26,2851. os. 9d. ; compeasuti.m for accidents and losses, 7,9371. 2s. 7d. ; general charge., 22,0224 12a. • law expen s es, 4.637/, 3.. ; sc h oo l s at ' W olverton an d Crewe. 418/. 12s.

The statement of the receipts and dis bursements shows that the net revenue fur the half -year ending the 30th of June, 18:),it, amounts, after deducting intertg on loans, and all other prefer, ntial charges, to 119,1171. Gr. ; the surplus from the . 3lst of December, 1852, 7311. 7s. 94. ; the balance applicable to dividend therefore is 1:9,84!!. 13.. 9d. ; from which the eirectors recommend that a dividend fur the half year, at the rata of 34 per cent. per annum, be declared, amounting, on 6,751,3571. 16s. Bd., to 118,2011. ss. 241., and that the seine be paid on the Ist of September, 1843 ; leaving to be carried over to the next hall.sear, 1,6471. It appears that the groat traffic revenue is more than that of the corresponding period by 27,96 it. tie. 31. At the same time the working expenses have increased 5,9771 17s. The mechanical superintendent appends a report showing the efficient condition of the rolling stock. Since December last, 4,8231. have been rece lived trom the sale of surplus landed property. The rents received frem this description of property still exhibit a satisfactory mutt, being 3,283/. 10s. 3d. for the half-year, as against 3,135/. 16s. 31. fer the corresponding period of last year. The new hooking offices and extension of roof at the Waterloo Station are nearly completed. The sum charged under the head o legal expenses, amounting to 1,442/. 164. 5d ,is for convey ancing and other costs, a charge inevitably incident to the acquirement of property. The company, having commenced the system of collection and delivery of goods on their own account, have provided a stock of horses for the purpose, and have hired the necessary vane and waggons on a con tract by the year. During the last half-year, in accordance with the former practice, 5,000/. have been charged against revenue account, on account of augmentation of the rolling stock, and 6801. 10s. Bd. for statiocs, &c 3,3511. Is. sd. have also been charged on account of former bad debts and allowances to carriers. The amount of 1,8941. 10s. Bcl., charged for law expenses against revenue includes a sum of 4601. 10s. 3d. paid to the Brighton and South Coast Railway Company for this com pany's proportion of law expenses connected with the joint line, and a sum of 1,0001. paid to the solicitors of the corra -1 pony on account of parliamentary and other expenses during the present session. The balance of .1311. Os. sd. is the expense of the oepartment of the law clerk of the company for the half year. The bill for conferring further powers on the company, with reference to the completion of the unfinished works between Basingstoke and Salisbury, approved by the pro- prietors at the special general meeting in Islay last, has re ceived earliamentary sanction. The portion between Ba singstoke and Andover will be opened for traffic in March next, and the remainder of the line to Salisbury within three years from the passing of the act. The Wimbledon and Croydon measure has received the sanction of parlia ment. The bill for the construction of the Staines and Wo- kingham and Woking Junction Railway has received the royal assent, and the new company is engaged in carrying out measures for commencing the construction of the line. The board will be prepared to enter into amicable arrange *outs for the development of traffic upon terms of reciprocity mutually beneficial. At a special general meeting on the 19th of May, the proprietors signified, by a very large ma jority, that the construction of a broad gauge line west of Dorchester would be injurious to the interests of this rail way, and authorised the directors to take measures to de feat that project. The board succeeded in obtaining the rejection of the Devon and Dorset Railway Bill, sod pledged this company to seek for powers, in the text ses- IRion, to construct a double line from Dorchester to Exeter. The district sought to be supplied by the Devon and Dorset line made it not only desirable but necessary that the country which would thus have been wrested from the South AVestern Kirilway interests, should be accommo dated. The proprietors will easily perceive, that it is not desirable at the present moment to propound or to enter upon a discussion of the mode by which the requisite capi ta'. may must advantaeous'y be raised. The directors feel that, oa so important a matter, it will be better to call the shareholders together on a future day for this specific ob ject, and then to submit the plan beat suited, both to the circumstances of the times and to the presort ,und future interests of the shareholders. • NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.
