To-MORROW Morning. fib. 36m. Afternoon, 7b. Mn. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. LORD STANLEY has performed a remarkable feat in compressing a review of the whole field of British politics within the limits of a single speech. There is scarcely a topic which 11;s address at King's Lynn does not embrace. He ranges over every quarter of the globe, notices every order of society, and every school of politics, and on every subject expresses a definite and settled opinion. Foreign questions have the first place in his speech. He rejoices that the House of Commons declared last July so decisively in favour of a policy of non-intervention in the affairs of Europe, and believes that the emcees of Mr. KINOLAKE'S amendment will mark a new era in onr diplomacy. He thinks that England's part in continental politics should be limited to giving advice unmixed with either threats or pro mises, and that even our counsel should only be offered when we have a reasonable hope of being able to do good, or cannot in con science keep silent. He feels so strongly the propriety of our strict neutrality towards the belli gerents in America, that he will not so much as express sympathy with either party. As to the effect of the struggle upon the interests of this country, he doubts whether, upon a consideration of all the facts, we are serious losers by the American war. Respecting the affairs of Italy he is not so reticent ; he does not hesitate to say that the Italians would be better employed in balancing their budget than in preparing to take Venetia. This subject, however, scarcely belongs to English politics, since our participation in a war between Italy and Austria is out of the question. The same may be said of the possible combinations of the German States, which Lord STANLEY con siders. It is otherwise with the Eastern question, which he expects to see brought into prominence before very long. He is decidedly opposed to the foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. LAYARD in Turkey, and confesses that "he does " not understand the determination of our older " statesmen to stand by Turkish rule, whether " right or wrong." His opinions on this point are very strongly expressed. " I think we are making " for ourselves enemies of races which will very " soon become in Eastern countries dominant races; " and I think we are keeping back countries by " whose improvements we, as the greatest traders "of the world, shall be the great gainers, and " that we are doing this for no earthly advantage, " either present or prospective." From foreign affairs Lord STANLEY passes to the Colonies. He entirely approves of the move ment in favour of union in British North America. The Federal system was one of those things which, when this American war broke out, we were as sured had " burst" or " broken down," or in some other way come to a bad end. The Cana dians, however, who ought to know sometb;ng about it, believe firmly in the principle of Federa tion, and Lord STANLEY thinks they are right, and that the Australian colonies will also bo led to adopt it. He has no doubt respecting the future both of Canada and Australia. " We know " that those countries must before long be inde " pendent states. We have no interest except in " their strength and well-being. We have settled " the relations of the colonies to the mother " country ; it is now our work to help them to " settle their relations with one another." He does not think that the Australians are unreasonable in their objections to the re vival of transportation to their continent. That practice can, under any circumstances, be main tained for only a few years, for even the Western Australians are wire to object to it, and whenever that happens wo must cease to send them convicts. It would be wiser, therefore, for the British Govern ment to yield at once, and declare that henceforth transportation to Western Australia shall cease. " They will have to make that concession before " long, and it is surely wiser and better to do so ! " while wo can do it freely, and with a good " grace. - Ho looks fur a reform in the arrange ments for tho military defence of our colonies. He thinks it time to say to the colonists in New Zealand that they are now very well able to take care of themselves ; that if they let the Maories alone they are not likely to be d;sturbed again ; and that under these circumstances we shall leave them in future t•r tight their own battles. With equal propriety the settlers at the Cape may be summoned to provide for their own military de fence, instead of looking to us for a garrison, which is apt to grow into an army. The case of Canada is different ; with respect to that colony we are in a position of " great perplexity." If the Canadians aro involved in war it will be not of their own choice, but on our account. The Canadian boundary is the most indefensitde frontier in the world, and the thinly scattered population of the colony have had no experience ; in war. It has lately been the fashion with some of cur public writers to repeat dogmatically that if the Canadians find themselves at war with the United States we shall not send an army to their I assistance. L ird STANLEY knows better, and re fuses to countenance so flippant a treatment of the subject. He observes that " the case is not one " in which we can honourably say to the Cana " dians, ' Defend yourselves ; it is not onr " ' affair.' If they were to be brought into a war " in conseipieneo of a quarrel between England " and tho l uited States—a war which they had TSE EX*RESS, FRIDAY EVENII444, OCTOBER - 21, 164. " done nothing to bring about, and Is bi) which " they had not even had a voice—we could pot in " honour or in duty abandon thee. All that we " can do is to call upon them, so long as they " retain their oonnexion with us, to do " more towards their own defeats, than they " have as yet done, and to make our " assistance conditional upon their doing that." Every Englishman and every Canadian knows that this is true. Lord STAXLI; however, leaves the question of Canadian defence in the perplexity in which he found it. As to our relations with the African coast his advice is very simple :—" Do " not go inland. Hold nothing except where you " can reach by water. Keep clear of protectorates " and alliances ; and recollect that though civi " lizing Africa may be a very noble idea with " those who are willing to undertake it, still " England ought to be just before she is generour. " and we have plenty of that work to do nearer " home." We now come to home topics. Lord STANLEY says very little respecting the extension of the franchise, a subject on which there was no need for him to say anything at all, for his full and explicit declarations made in 1860 are not forgot ten. His view is a very simple one. The middle class, the most powerful one in this country, is in [ possession of political supremacy, with which it will not part of its own free will ; while the unre presented class is not strong enough to obtain satisfaction of its demands by its own strength. For Lord STANLEY this is a sufficient reason why there should be no reduction of the electoral qua -I;fication in towns. This is unfortunately a very common way of thinking and speaking. We say unfortunately, because, whether those who hold such language are aware of it or not, it is the lan guage of war, of an enemy to an enemy. We pre fer to believe that we are a united people, and that nature has not divided society into hostile camps, neither of which can gain but at the ex pense of the other. We believe with Lord STANLEY that government is a means to an end, but also that the moral satisfaction of the governed is one of those ends We much prefer Mr. GLAD STONE'S faith in justice to Lord STANLEY'S confidence in material advantages as the bond of society. Apart, however, from constitutional questions, Lord STANLEY declares himself a thorough re former. He approves of Mr. GLADBTON/e8 fiscal legislation, declares that our financial position iv thoroughly sound and satisfactory, and that it must needs improve if we only keep out of war. But great wealth has its temptations, and he com plains that it is betraying the country into careless expenditure. In a year or two we ought to be able to knock off two millions or more from the army and navy retirements, without doing any injury to the service. Along with that re duction a natural increase of revenue may be expected to take place. That increase during the last three years has been more than a million and a half per annum, under all the disadvantages of the dearth of cotton. So that, if Lord &swiav is right, "we may with reasonable economy look " forward to a relief from taxation to the extent of " six or seven millions in the next four years." Under these circumstances the or'y question will remain what taxes shall be taken off first. Lord STANLEY is for reducing the income tax by one half—to 4id. ; and for cutting down the duty on fire insurance. As a "general principle," he thinks, " we ought to divide such surpluses as we may " have as fairly as may be between remission of " direct sad indirect taxation." If these views are to any great extent shared by the party of which Lord STANLEY is so distinguished a member, Mr. GLADSTONE should find it easy to effect the financial reforms on which ho is known to have sel his mind. We have littlo to remark on Lord STANLZY'S speech. Our praise would not be worth much, because, except on one point, he expresses con victions wh;ch we have long been labouring to establish. In a word, he has made a speech which is liberal in the real and practical, not in the mere partisan, sense of the word. The traders on party traditions and well-worn reputations must look to it when eminent Conservatives treat the affairs of the country on the broadest principles and in the most public spirit. . - LAIII - 17 ENTALLIGENCA -;" • BRIGANDAGB AT ROHR The effects of frontier brigandage have just come home to the French. On Monday, the 10th inst., two French gendarmes—a brigadier and a private—stationed at Ceprano, whilst crowing the valley of the Sacco, between Pofi and Castro, fell in with and arrested a Bourbon brigand. At a certain spot where be knew that his comrades were in ambush, the brigand gave a significant whistle, the whole band rushed out from the forest, and, attacking the gendarme:: fu riously, soon killed them. Not content with this, they proceeded to mutilate the oorpeea, crushing their heads by repeated blows with stones and other indignities impossible to relate. The plundering part of their profession was not forgotten by the brigands, as they carried off the gendarmes' watches, boots, money, and stripes of silver lace. On the 13th the funeral obsequies of the defunct gendarmes were performed at Ceprano, whither a French military commission has been sent to verify as far as possible the circumstances of the tragic occurrence. It is evident that the activity of the Italian troops on the other side of the Liris has driven numerous bands of reactionary brigands to the pontifical territory again, for the whole province of Froeinone is in such a state of alarm from the continual robbing, ransoming, and murdering of these scoundrels, that the very farmers are beginning to neglect their out-of-doors ( occupations for fear of falling victims to their cruelty. Whilst the French gendarmes were being I murdered on the banks of the Sacco, the papal gendarmes were sustaining an arduous combat with another band of brigands at Campo Baffone, near Subiaco. The brigands had captured two Roman landowners at Rocca di Botts, and demanded a heavy ransom for them. They had carried off numerous flocks of sheep, and created a perfect panic in the country. A detachment of 26 papal gendarmes followed the movements of the brigands, and assailed them on the morning of the 11th at Campo Baffone. The result of the conflict was the salvage of one of the captured individuals and 240 sheep by the gen darmes, who, however, lost two men killed. The brigands had three men wounded, but carried off their other prisoner and the rest of the sheep. Much irritation prevails among the French on account of this barbarous outrage on the two gen darmes, and some sharp notes have already passed on the subject between the French and Papal authorities. The prisoners arrested for making the demonstra tion in favour of the convention and the Emperor of the French, three weeks ago, are still in confine ment at the French police barracks. They are about 20 in number, and, with a view to restoring them to their families, an address in their behalf from the Romans has been forwarded to the French Ambassador. This document has been published in the Nazion, but there is no proof of its having as yet obtained the desired result of effecting the liberation of the prisoners. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MON OUR 01111, PARIS, THURSDAY Evwva. The Constitutionnels bad luck when it under takes to stay a panic at the Bourse is proverbial. The note of this morning, contradicting the three rumours to which the fall of yesterday was attri buted—i.e., a new loan, the selling up of defaulters to the last loan, and a further decrease of 15,000,000 in the bullion of the Bank of France, failed to produce any effect at the opening of business to day. On the contrary, the Bente, which left off yesterday at 64fr. 65c., went down as low as 64fr. 40c. Afterwards, however, there were many vio lent and rapid (*dilations, and ultimately the Rente maintained the highest prices of the day ; these were 64fr. 80c., both for cash and account, being a rise of 30c. and 15c. The effect of yester day's panic is, therefore, far from effaced, as far as the Rents is concerned. Mobilier and Crddit Fonder, however, about recovered the lost ground. The Lyons, Northern, and Southern railways are also quoted at about the closing prices of Tuesday ; but in Western and Eastern there is little improve ment, and Orleans is rather weaker than yesterday. One of the ConatitutionnePs reassuring asser tions, that relating to the state of the Bank of France, is confirmed by the official returns published in this evening's Moniteur, from which it appears that so far from there being a de ficit of 15 millions, there is a alight increase in the bullion. The note of the Conetitutionnel is re produced almost verbatim in the Moniteur. The arrears of instalments due on the last loan are, both journals say, of " no consequence," butthey abstain from stating the amount in figures. As to the value of the contradiction of the rumours of a loan, there is this observation to be made that the inten tion to raise a loan is invariably denied up to the very last moment. The semi-official journals are silent on the sub ject of the Emperor's visit to the Czar at Nice, but the Prase, Temps, and Gazette de France say very positively that all preparations for the journey are made, and that his Majesty Napoleon 111. will set out next Sunday. General Fleury, of whom the Moniteur merely says that he was charged by the Emperor to compliment the Emperor and Empress of Russia on their arrival on French soil, had, it would seem, a confidential mission to arrange the meeting, to bring about which M. de Budberg had been working hard for some time. The Solidaires of Belgium, a sect of free thinkers who direct their executors to bury them without religious rites, have found a certain number of imi tators in France. At Tours so many lay funerals have lately taken place that the clergy are becoming alarmed, and the Archbishop is said to have written a letter to the Em?eror praying for the interference of authority to stay the contagion. His grace is understood to propose that people who wilfully refuse Christian burial shall be interred in a sepa rate corner of the cemetery like murderers and self destroyers. Lord Granville is staying with his old friend the Duke de Horny at the Chateau of Nades. M. Mermet, the successful young composer, was on Saturday evening preeented to the veteran Rossini, who is said to have given a most gracious reception to the "Conqueror of Roncevaux." It is thought that M. Dronyo de Lhuys will in no case remain long in office. He gives out to his friends that be will certainly resign should be find the convention of Sept. 15 interpreted in • sense hostile to the temporal power. In that event M. Thouvenel would no doubt replace him. But should the catholic party ultimately get the upper hand in the councils of the Tuileries, M. Drouyn de Lhuys would propably be thought too lukewarm, and the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergue is spoken of as likely to be his successor. It is observed that the Duke de Persigny has been of late very frequently with the Emperor. CONDITION OP MINES IN GREAT BRITAIN. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The cave is a most romantic and delightfully secluded spot, and stands close to the Eye stream, which winds like a serpent through the green glen. It consists of a narrow ledge of rock, only accessible from one point, overhung by a frowning, rugged precipice, festooned with wild herbs and creeping plants, which thrusts itself forward over the den at an angle of about 90 degrees. Her Majesty and party, after a very interesting exploration of this famed rocky fortress of a once brave Highland chief tain, partook of a sumptuous luncheon, and returned vii Braemar to Balmoral about half-past 6 p.m, Horses were changed both in going and returning at the Invercauld Arms Hotel, under the personal superintendence of Mr. Fisher.—Dundce Adrertiser.

That there is agreat sums of airiness and mor tality amongst metalliferoui miners, which is mainly Mai hatable to the imperfect ventilation of the miner.—How- ever divines the opinions of medical men may be as to the cameo of the dimes called • miner's asthma' or mimic's consumption,' there is • remarkable coacurrence among all the writers on the subject in this, that the health of the miner Is greatly influenced by the quality of the air in which he works. The more extended inquiry instituted by as under the royal commission give' strength, if not ear tainty, to this conclusion. In the cal districts, where, on account of the dangerous gases, great attention has been given to the proper ventilation of the mines, the mortality (accidents excepted) smog the mimes is considerably less than it is in the metalliferous districts. We have on this account thought it advisable to make ourselves acquainted with the systems of ventilation usually adopted in coal mines, in the hopes that we might thereby be able to offer some suggestions for improving the ventilation in the metal liferous mines. The main object to be kept in view in van tasting a mine is to conduct a sufficient supply of pare air through the mine in order to displace the vitiated air where the men are at work. Various contrivances have been pat in practice for effecting this, but they are all applications of two principles, propulsion and extraction ; by the first pure air is forced in, by the second foal air is drawn out. The power used may be either natural or artificial. Natural force ads when columns of air are, in the absence of any artificial means, of unequal weight, in which case the heavier column displaces the lighter, and so causes movement and change of air. Another natural force acts when the wind blows in at a level or over a shaft. Artificial propulsion is effected by various applications of machinery and other contrivances, such as falling water, the water blast, or the fan ; artificial extraction, by suction or by furnace heating. The most simple method of ventilation is by natural agencies directed and sup plemented by engineering skill. Two or more abate or edits are essential, so contrived that one shall be upcast in I all states of the weather. A system of trunk ventilation being thus established the pure air may be guided to any part of the mine where it may be required, if are be taken to remove all refuse or ' deeds,' and to claie up all old and abandoned workings, by which the currents of air may be interfered with. In cases where natural ventilation is insufficient, artificial metes must be resorted to, and of these it appears to us that by far the most effectual, where it can be adopted, is that glitch is generally in nee in the coal mines, namely, the ratification of the air in one of the shafts by the heat of a furnace. The mechanical means which have been suggested are the introduction of pure air by a force pump, and the abstraction of foul air by a ruction pimp. Machines for the latter purpose are in sac cereal operation in some collieries and mines in this country. The foregeiag remarks Wady apply to the maintenance of a regular system of trunk ventilation. lo small mines, and in certain parts of large mines, a good supply of air may be provided by means of contrivances which teapot be econo mically applied on a large seals, such as different descrip tions of air pumps, water blasts, and fans. These may answer the purpose when judiciously applied and carefully attended to. It appears to us worthy of consideration whether some combination of natural with artificial appli ances might not be adopted at a comparatively =all ex pense, considering the benefit that would thee accrue both to the employer and employed. Cases have oome before us of mines in which, in certain conditions of the atmosphere, the circulation of air under ground is regular and sufficient, while at other times it varies both in quantity sad direction, consequent upon the inversion or stagnation of the current of air in the shaft. This evil might be effectually conquered by the maintenance of a constant upcast shaft, and where natural mums fail, this might be effected by an application of furnace heating. Whatever system, however, may here after be adopted, it is essentially necessary that attention should be paid to driving the levels of sufficient size, to making more frequent communications between them, to removing the refuse, cloning up dimmed wines', amps, shafts, and abandone d workings, and to the judicious appli cation of air-tight doors and brattiees so as to control the direction of the underground currents. "2. That several other causes, both general and local, largely contribute to impair the health of the miner— namely, expcenre to cold and wet, and to sudden alterna tions of temperature ; wowing wet clothes • inhalation of gritty particles ; and the exertion of climbing ladders from great depths.—Ainoeut the mum enumerated b the medical men as tending to impair the health of the miner, exposure to sudden alternatioes of tempe rature and to wet and cold is much initiated upon. The miner is peculiarly liable to these dangers, either from imprudence on his own part or from want of proper Kr. rangemeots ou the part of his employers. Another ranee moat injurious to the health of the miners is the exertion of climbing ladders continuously from great depths. The evidence of the medical witness and of the miners themselves leaves no doubt on our minds as to the pernicious effects of severe climbing typos men whose constitutions are, perhape, impaired by the conditions under which they work, and the severity of the work itaelf. This evil Is occasionally enhanced by the impure state of the air in the ladder ways, and asps. vated by the indiscretion of the WOWS themselves, espe cially the younger ones, in mounting the ladders with too much haste. In those mines where the man engine has been in operation the improvement in the health of the miners is stated to be evident. In most coal mine* work. men are cooveyed up mid down the shaft in the 'cages.' This arrangement appears to us to be expeditious and safe, when due attention is paid to the construction and super. vision of the machinery ; and we think it might be &dus ter/rawly introduced in many of the metalliferons mines. We therefore recommend—l. That every mine should be provided with proper houses conveniently situated in which the men can cheese and dry their clothes. 2. That surface work should, as far as peacticable, be carried en' under shelter, and that suitable places should be provided is which the women and children employed at the mimes might take their meals. 3. That In order to avoid the evils consequent on climbing ladders, mechanical means should be provided to convey the men to and from the surface whet, the mines are of great depth. " 3. That accidents are of frequent occurrence in metalli ferous miues, and that they principally result from misers falling from ladders and *temples, or from one level to another ; from falls of the rock or staff ; from want of caution in blasting ; from defective gear and imperfect super vision of machinery ; from sudden irruption of water or foul air, and from the bursting of boilers.—To obviate as far as possible the various accidents to which miner' are ex , we recommend,—l. That no ladderway should be allowed in a drawing shaft without the shaft being properly divided or brattioed off from the foot way, and that efficient sollars should be fixed at moderate distances in all footways, whether the ascent or descant be by ladders or stemples. 2. That shafts, winces, sumps, and shoots should be more carefully guarded. 3. That more stringent rules should be enforced in regard to blasting, with • view to prevent inogg accidents, and that bronze tamping rods prickers should be supplied to the men. 4. That the persons having charge of the footways and other works underground should daily enter in • book • report of their condition to the agent or captain of the mine, which should be produced in case of hiquiry. 5. That the boilers sad other machinery should be perio di cally examined by the mice engineer, and that a monthly report thereon should be given in to the captain or agent, to be produced by him should occasion require. 6, That the men should not be allowed to change in the boiler house, which none but those in charge should be permitted to enter. 7. That all boilers should be provided with two safety • valves and a water gone or a steam whistle. 8. That plans and working sections of all mines en their being shen dosed should be deposited at the office of the clerk of the peace for the county, sad at the Government Mining Re cord Office in Jermyn-street, for reference in case of working being resumed, or new mines opened up in the immediate vicAnity. " 4.. That abandoned shafts, and old works unprotected at the surface, are a mum of serious danger, not only to the miner, but to the public.—The accidents ooesequent upon the practice of leaving abandoned shafts and works iusufficieetly guarded or wholly unprotected, are en nume rous that we think it very desirable that an efficient and easily available legal remedy should be provided is order to guard the public from this prolific source of danger. "5. That the employment of boys underground at an early age contributes to produce diaease and premature death.—We therefore think it desirable that, as a general rule, Do boys under the age of 14 yews should work below the surface. " 6. The system of mine clubs as at present in general operation is unsatidaotory, sa sot proudieg for cane of siokores as well es of accident.—We therefore suggest the adoption of such a system of nave clubs as would afford the men sufficient maintenance during Oakum as wall as while suffering from the effects of aocident. " All which we humbly submit to your Majesty's most gracious cousideratios. " As witness our hands, this 4th day of July, 1864 : ICDINAIRD. P. K ClatY &IRETON, NICHOLAS KENDAL, F.

(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROL GH-STILEET. AT THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLca William Steck, head smoking-room waiter at the .1 uoi,r United Service Club, appeared before Mr. Tyrwbitt to answer s summon. charging him with embezzling the sum of 5/., the mollies of the trustees of the club. Mr. Lewis, son., of Ely-place, prosecuted; and Mr. Land. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended. The case was first before Mr. Tyrwbitt a few days up, and the strict facts are as follows :—The prisoner but been four years in the service of the club, and about mix months ego was raised to the position of head smoking. room waiter. It wee the custom of the club to deliver to the prisoner a number of cigars weekly, and it wee the pn. sons?' duty at the end of the week to render an account of the males and pay over the money he had received. On the nth inst. he was called upon to render an account, and then it was diseovered that he was deficient to the extent mentioned above. The prisoner was then discharged from the club, and subsequently the precut proceedlogs were taken. On the last occasion Mr. Edward Lewis contended that ao felonious intention had been made out against the pri. sonar. It wu true the prisoner was at the moment deficient a few pounds, but he had always been, and was then, prepared to pay the deficiency, and it wee hard that the club, the prisoner having served it faithfully for fore years, should take these harsh proceedings. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not think the jury would con vict, bat if Mr. Lewis, senior, pressed for a committal he did not think be could withdraw the case from a jury. He would adjourn the cue to give Mr. Lewis, senior, time to consult with his clients. _ _ The prisoner was liberated on Wm own recognicance, and on Main api•Ying. Mr. Lewin, sera., maid the club having a large number of servants in their employ, above 80, were determined to prosecute. . . . . Bir. E. Lewis said that in order that there might be no mistake he wished to reiterate his offer to pay the club the prisoner'■ deficiency. The primmer was eommitted for trial, hat being accepted.

ATTIMPTIM lIITICIDE AT ISIDITIIINSTER-1521DGE. Ellen Ryder, • respectable•looking young woman, was plaesd at the bar for final examination charged with attempt ing to commit suicide by getting over the parapet of West minster-bridge for the propose of throwing herself into the Thames. George Panous, a boot closer, residing in Golden-lane, St. Luke's, said that about H o'clock on Wednesday night, he was passing over Westminster-road when he saw the 'xi• saner climbing the parapet, and as she was about to preci pitate herself over he naught hold of her dress and polled her back. She struggled very bard to get away, but a con stable came up and satiated him in securing her. John Cheater, 123 L, said he was on duty in the West miestar-rord, about 11 o'clock, when be head cries of " Poliee !" coming from the bridge, and on proceeding there he perceived the prisoner struggling with teat wheat She was partly over the balustredes, and deciered her determination to commit suicide. He lied some difficulty in preventing her and taking her into custody. herself The Magistrate asked the prisonsr what she had to sty for She expressed her deep regret, sod hoped his worship would allow her to go home to her friends. The prisoner's sister, a very respectable married woman, Game forward and said she would take are of her if she was liberated. She believed her sister would never make such a wicked attempt on her life again. The Magistrate asked the prisooer if be mold trust her? The prisoner promised not to attempt again, and was given up to her sister. GREENWICH. CONVICTION OF THANIN John HigrlB sod John Shaw, 'Maoist lightermen, in the employ of Mr. John Woodland, of Acorn-wharf, Rather babe. were charged, on saromormee, before Mr. Traill, with unlawfully neglecting to perform an engagement auto which they ha. d entered to navigate certain timber on the rivet Tha Mr. Tremble, inspector to the Waterman'. Company, said the present proceedings, which were taken under the Stith erection of the Waterm•n's and Lightermen's Act, had been directed to be taken against the defendants in consequence of a growing evil of entering into engagement. with wharfiagers and breaking them at the last moment without assign ing any reason, it being well known that wharfingers were prevented from employing any but licensed persona, and were therefore under the control of the men rather than the men being under the control of the employer. In the present ease the complainant was engaged to re move certain rafts of timber for Messrs. P. Holt and Co., of Hotherbitbs, end th e d e f en d ants h a d agree d to do the nernerary work. The defendant Higgs, however, had afterwards refused to go with the timber, admitting that he was unwell through drinking, and Shaw had also returned the delivery notes for the timber, after accepting an eapgement, the consequence of which was is each case a lose of tide bad been occasioned, and a delay in the removal took plaoa. _ - lieirr7dowen, foreman to the complainant, having deposed k, the facts above stated, Mr. Trail said it was important, while the lightermen of the Thames had their interests protected by the act of parliament, declaring that none but persons so licensed should be employed for purposes of navigation, that the persons employing them should be protected also from the evil now complained of.
