'Blundell -street, Islington. said—l nin a police constable in the employ of the Great Northern railway. At lialf.past 5 this 'morning I was on duty in the m. ;nods department of that railway. The prisoner was there acting an porter. I saw him at No. 4 Barrier on the platform with the box produced. I maw bin. force open the box, put his bacon in, take s.ini..thing out, and put it under his jacket. He put the lid of the box down and then he walkial away to another part of the platform, and thi ti he r,lnned his work. I went to him and told him he was united, and asked him what he did tampering with a Ise. at N. 4. He said, " I have not been at No. 4, and I have not seen or touched a box." I told hint I suspected that lie had something about him, and that I wanted to gee. I unbuttoned his jacket and in the left hand pocket I found three packets of cloth gloves. I made a further search, and, under his waist coat I rowel three more pain. of the same kind of gloves. I toll him I should take him into custody for stealing thane at titles. He said, " I ant very sorry, and this is the first time I have done such a thing." The gloves pro duced are the property of the Great Northern Railway, and were entrusted to the company to deliver. Mr. Williams asked for a remand, as robberies of this desaiption were of frequent occurrence. The prisoner said he had no defence to make, nor any umsitiong to a•li the witness. Mr. Intake remanded the prisoner to the House of De tention for a week. Es,:ev LENT A.salgg.— The commission' for this assize was formally opened at the Shire Hall yes friday afternoon, and business will be commenced in both courts this morning, Chief Justice Bovill pre siding in the Crown and Mr. Baron Bramwell in the Nisi Prius Court.

After staving fur a short time at his lodgings at T. M. Gepp's, Esj.. the chief justice proceeded to the shire hall to open the conuoi•ion. After opening the commission his lord ship attended divine service at the parish church, where prayers were read by the rector, the Ven.

THE MURDER OF .t LADY AT BIRMINDHAM.—At the WarwiLkshire spring anises, Maria Jones, aged 11, a a'ail.oll,.' was tried for having, on the Ist of Sept em b er last. stabbed Mrs. Mary Clarke, at Birmingham. Mrs. Clarke died on the 7th of September. The evidence Showed that the prisoner, who had been frequently employed by the Coolly of Mr. Charles Dickenson Sturge, of Edgbaston. Birmingham, went to that gentleman's house on the Ist of September last, and asked to see Mrs. Clarke, who was the mother of Mrs. Sturge. Mrs. Clarke went into the room where the prisoner was, when the latt,r pro heed a carving-knife, which she had secreted about her. and stabb e d M rs . Clarke in the neck, inflicting the wound of which that lady died. It was proved that the pi koner had been for some time suffering from an extraordinary and powerful delusion that many people were trying to drug her. She imagined that Mrs. Clarke had injured her in this way. Medical testimony was gun that the prisoner was mad. The jury found her Not guilty. on account of insanity." and Dlr. .Tuatios Smith ordered her to be imprisoned during her Majesty's pleasure. T E INfITON FIRE. —The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the children who lust their lives on Friday Was the Crown Inn. Accrington, yesterday. at noon. 1.4.1, :T fargreaves, the district coroner. About II witnesses were examined. The actual number of chil dren who 1..4 their lives was stated to be nitre. How the fire or , ;in,ted still reruains a mystery. The suppo sition on which most reliance can be placed—in fact, the only supposition justified by the circumstances—is that the lo Old s which were drying in Mr. Duckworth's room und.r the .chord must have fallen off the hooks on which they wen. ithccd upon the hot pipes connected with the Ti... ber of children in the school when the Ere u otabout 100. No blame is attached to nnv.m... Mr. Duckworth appears to have had no idea of anY d .•or , .r. and Miss Burscough, the schoolmistress, is aski.ouledged to have fully done her duty. Several A ruins distinguished themselves by courageous acts men• boned .hiring the inquest, and all the witnesses concurred i.mising police-coustable Burton for the manner in which h, reictio.l many of the children. The inquest Lod rive hour, and a half, commencing at 12 and ter rninatio.: at half-past 5 last evening. The jury returned verdict "f Accidental death."

AMA N rit• AND c:REAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (THIS U.S S'.) A winierotts meeting of the laud and debenture heldeo, other t reditere and sharehothen wa., held at noon at the boolon Taveni, Sir WILLIAM Hi's...ELL in the t hair. The tn.% ito:AN, in opening the procivilings, said the remion why he appeareed in that position was that he had bell a Loge Dumber of consolidated bonds for more than a year mel had endeavoured on the committee to ascer tain the I. al state of affairs. At the tiarAings of the committee Statements were nook by the accountant, Mi. Bird. a n d they were oleo assisted by Mr. fit'llenry. They one to the unanimous decision that that meeting Id be at once convened and requested Mr. hilietiry to issue the report which had been sent forth. No far as the committee could judge, the secs.:: r. Pe* e Idol to them were aceerate, and their work having b... it oec.eeplis . :ed thee ;aid the result before the e with a recommendation that they ehoilld appoint another contrnitte...

These classes were four in number; tit st, the boteiholders ; nest,the consolidated bondholders ; than, the debenture holders ; Lio tly, the unsecured creditors. He eon ( [wird by proposing the following resolution : I " That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to I avoid as far as possible all conflict* between the different classes intensted in the Atlantic and :rest Western Rail way Company, and that in order to provide for unity of action, A committee. be appointed representing all classes namely. the divisional bondholders, the consolidated bondholders, the holders of the certificates of debentures, and the general creditors." Mr. T. CM, M.P., another member of the committer, in seconding the resolution, commenced by deprecating litigation. Nu doubt there was a great temptation on the pert of the divisional leinilholdere to seize the line; but they had tio intention of doing that, having learnt that, though they had the power to eeize, great impediments odght he thrown in their way, and he believed their best course was to unite with the other leirties interested in endeaiouting to rescue the property from its present position. IA Comte—lf their interest is paid.) With a little patience it would be paid, and that of the other secured creditors as well, while the unsecured creditors might loe nettle to feel that they were in the hands of honourable Wen. ((.'heers.) Major Rot NE wished to know whether the unsecured creditors could not seize the rolling stock. A CREI.II..It wished to know whether, if a committee were appointed, as the chairman suggested, it would have any power of controlling the management. Mr. Vnt,. agreed with the chairman that there ought to he a complete change in the management of the line, and said in his opinion all who were connected with the present management ought to be got ri.l of. (Cheers.) The committee ought to consist of lousinese men like Mr. Watkin s and their first ditty on reaching America would he to ilispoesese the present board. . . . Mr..l.:trx C(INNINI:TON said he hail just presided over a preliminary meeting of debenture and bondholders, and be would suggest that it was desirable that there should he tin ee gentlemen on the committee representing each interest. One might die or become unable to act. (A Von . g—Two.) He concurred with the chairman in de precating litigation, particularly in America. Mr. RII44I)ALE said at the last meeting Mr. M`Henry stated, in reply to a question from him, t hat the company had ceaseml. through some neglelt, to be the owners of the oil neck Railway, which was a lucrative line, and that it had become his own property. Ile wished to know whe ther the company had any interest, by lease, or otherwise, in that railway. Mr. 111•Hrsav replied that the company had no interest in the railway referred to. Mr. RIINI,ALE having thin referred to a !caw, as he said, of time railway in question to this company for 99 . . Mr. hillgNal said the lease cited referred to another oil railway. Mr. RI it, , I , ALE having entered somewhat into details on thh. and other subjects, pressed for further information. The CHAIRMAN confessed his inability to give the in formation desired. Mr. RI ILSTALI then complained that a line which the Atlantic and Great Western Company paid for had by some process •vhich he could not understand passed into the hands of third parties. There would bo no peace fur them until all connected with the peat management had been removed. (Cheers.) The main line, which was represented by the engineer as such a magnifi cent one, was a very bad one. (" No, no. ") They had supposed mistakenly that the Board of Control was protecting their interests. Sir Morton Peto—(hisses) —on has return from America, gave them a magni ficent account, which had not been borne out, and the Board of Control had since abandoned its duty. (Cheers.) As to the committee, he cer tainly thought the divisional bondholders ought to have a larger representation than the unsecured creditors. It was impossible to say what open debts there were in America, and it wax necessary that the interests of the secured creditors should be carefully protected. Mr. COCK BURN had had the greatest respect for Sir Mor ton Peto on account of his high character, but it now ap peared that, like the poor man who was going to Jericho, he had fallen among thieves—(cheers)—and he hoped the committee would be enabled to pour oil into his wounds. (Laughter.) Mr. W. R. GREEN said lie wished to move an amend ment. It was proposed by the resolution to appoint four committeemen to represent four interests. The CHAIRMAN observed that what he had proposed was merely that each interest should be represented. Mr. GREEN thought that the only classes of persons represented should be those who were asked to make con cessions. (Hear, hear.) Experience warned them to be careful. They had been misled by titles and the letters "M.P." They must now have business men. (A VOICE Honest men.) They should give the committee a sort of deed of incorporation, stating what the committee were to do, and how they were to carry it out. In his opinion there should be a joint treasurer. He would move, " That a committee of five bond and debenture holders, with power to add to their number, he appointed to investigate the company's affairs, and negotiate with the American hoard of direction or other competent autho rity the terms of a provisional and limited capitalisation of the future interests or dividends of the bonds or debentures, on the basis that the holders thereof have an effectual control and supervision over the gross earnings of the railway ; and that no diversion thereof or from the net premeds thereof, for the purposes of the company, for extensions or otherwise, beyond the capital ised amount of such interest or dividend, shall be made, unless with the previous consent or concurrence of such committee or their duly constituted agent in America for the time being; and that the committee do report to the bond and debenture holders from time to time the position of the company's affairs, and on the written request of ten or more bond or debenture holders possessed at the time of nut less than 20,0001. stock in amount, and at their expense, do convene meetings in London of the bond and debenture holders. and take the directions of the majority thereof, to be thereafter duly considered for the future guidance of the committee." Ile believed that what he thus proposed was practicable, and would lead to good results. Mr. W. LANCE thought that if the next year's income were expended upon it the line would prove a most valu able one. In his opinion it was capable of paying all its debts under proper management. Mr. J. Fruits, M.P., a member of the committee, said that a resolution to the same effect as the amendment was to be brought forward, and he hoped the latter would not be pressed. It was important that they should be unites!. He agreed with Mr. lance as to the capabilities of the line. Mr. BARTEL said it was to be regretted that the com mittee had not announced before what they intended to do. It was a question with him, as a first creditor, whether persons in that position should not stand aloof from the committee and rest on their legal rights in America. The American law was certain to protect their rights, and if they assisted the committee no one could say who would be benefitted. There never was such a helpless set of creditors as they all appeared to be at present ; but he suppose., there were powers somewhere. They hardly knew who was the manager. (Exclamations of " The contractor." " The mor'gage deed gives Bowers," &c.) A CREDITOR wished to know whether, if a committee were appointed, Mr. IWHenry and the directors in America would retain any voting power as regarded the tuanageuteut. Mr. SAVILLE advocated the representation of all the dif ferent classes interested. He wished to know who elected the directors, and what power the stockholders had in America. Mr. RICHARD BURT maintained that in a such a gigantic affair, instead of only four the committee should consist of at least seven members. Another creditor having urged the claims of the divi sional bondholders, Mr. T. CAVE, M.P., remarked that the committee had never contemplated the divisional bondholders being asked to forego a single day's interest, and in his opinion their securities were worth par. A CRIDITOR inquired whether American creditors hav ing charges on the stock were to be represented on the committee. The CHAIRMAN, in replying, said that if the unsecured creditors were to seize the line they would seize it legal subject to all the mortgages, which they must pay of Whether the oomulittee would have any power depended on the creditors. It should not be a mere committee invest;g3tivo, but one of management and control, MO machinery might he used which would place them in that position. (Clictrri.) No interest should be put aside or neglected, but all should be dealt with fairly according to their rights. He dislike,' large committees because numbers did not conduce to business-like action. He begged Mr. Green to withdraw his amendment. The object of the original resolution w a s to scene a g oo d co l a. niittee and avoid litigation, of which no one could forests: the end. (}fear, hear.) Any committee which might be appointed must take possession of the line, and entirely manage it. If the object could he effected through a compromise or the resignation of the existing board, it would be done in that way; otherwise the law would be put in force. (CheetN.) They were oil fellow sufferers, and he hoped they would pull well together. It could not he the interest of ally one class of creditors to take possession of the line. It was not proposed to defer the interest on the divisions' bonds, which would not be at all affectedly the committee. The ,hares were now represented by the unsecured credi tors. The directoo, were now elected by the slim eliolders, hut he might ,ay on their behalf that Mr. :41'1 lenry, who presentesl them, was perfectly willing to place himself in the hands of the committee -(cheers) , in whose proceedin4s Lay his only hope of ultimately getting something for him self as the las: creditor. (Hear, hear.) . . The resolution of the Chairman W., then put and car ried nnaniternely, amid the cheers of tlyy in, eting . In reply to a question from Mr. 1%4:Av.:, 31. P.. Mr. APIIENrtv pledged I •If to do ell in his power to assist the comlnittee it, nisnaging the line and obtaining out of it the intenst due to the *auditors. ielieers4 Mr. S. Lt INg:. 1110V , t1 " It.

Ile eNpresoied full eontideace with regard to the future. and referred to the Erie line as illustrating the hopefully... of the creditors' position. The worst that could happen, he helieved, was that for two or three years all the interest, except that of the divisional bond. holders, must be capitalised while the line was being developed. Mr. Locxwoirrur seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Another resolution, moved by Mr. MI oecended by Mr. BAILEY, M.P., was adopted, sanctioning the de spatch of a commission to America, if the committee deemed that necessary. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution recommending consolidated bondholders to cut off their coupons for two years ending March 31, lfiti9, and place them in the hands of the committee, receiving in exchange bonds having five years to rumand having 7 per cent. perannum, payable half-yearly by interest warrants attached, it being understood that all coupons prior to the let of March, Pia, were to be laid uut of the first receipts of the coin. uny. Tide resolution was adopted, and the meeting was pro needing when our report left. ENGLISH AND AMERICAN RANK (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern this afternoon; ScHoLtrltill, M.P., in the chair. The report has been published, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, alluded to the absence of Mr. Gordon through illness, and said that, after what hail transpired in reference to Overend, Gurney, and Co., he had placed his resignation in their hands. As proceedings were still pending, they considered that it did not become them to express any opinion upon them, and having the mos t unbounded confidence in the honour and integ rity of Mr. Gordon they had not accepted his resignation. lie con sidered that the report the directors had presented was one that showed very satisfactory progress, and thought that the shareholders would give them credit for acting with prudence in limiting their operations during a period of co rcial disquietude like that of thelast six mouths. (Cheers) Mr. Kgr seconded the motion. Some conversation ensued with respect to the appropria tion of a sum of money arising from the forfeiture of shares and upon other points, particularly with reference to a re quisition sent in by some large shareholder! asking the directors to propose the abolition of the restriction which at present prevents individuals from acquiring more than 500 shares in the bank. The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend of ss. per share declared, but the resolution submitted in order to carry out the wishes of the requisitionists was negatived. In the course of the discussion several shareholders spoke in high terms of the character of Mr. Gunton and his com mercial integrity and honour, their sentiments being warmly applauded by the meeting. A cordial vote of thanks to the officers of the bank and to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. THE TRADES' UNIONS CONFERENCE.-( THIS DAY.) A numerously and influentially attended con ference of delegates from the principal trades' unions throughout the kingdom MAP, 01.4.1 this morning at to. Martin's Hall, Long-acre. This oonference had been called by the London Working Men's Association. for a two-fold purpose ;—in the first place to consider the present legal status consequent on the late judgment in the Court of Queen's Bench, by which all trade societies, even though their rules may be deposited with the Re gistrar-General of Friendly Societies, are deprived of any protection from the law for their (undo, although those funds may have been subscribed for benevolent stud chantable purposes, and to devise • remedy for the evils resulting from that decision ; and, in the second place, to make arrangements for the production of competent witnesses to give eel deuce on behalf of trades' unions before the royal com mission of inquiry about to commence its sittings. The conference assembled at 10 o'clock, at which hour irk delegates were present, and amongst the principal bodies represented were the trades' councils of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Wolverhamp ton, Preston, Nottingham, Halifax, Re., each council representing all the trades in its locality, the boilermakers and iron shipbuilders, the associated ironworkers, gene ral union of carpenters, the general association of stone masons, national association of plasterers, mill men's association, Staffordshire potters, cotton spin ners, carpet weavers, flint glass makers of Great Britain, glass bottle makers, miners' national association, Nottingham lacemakers amalgamated society of french polishers, West of York shire: miners, mercers of Scotland, and of the London trades there were represented the compositors, silver trades, bookbinders, steam-engine makers, shipwrights, brushmakers, tinplate workers, united trades of smiths, bakers, saddlers, plumbers, tailors, up holsterers, brass trades, farriers, hatters, cabinetmakers, corkeutters, ropemakers, torickrnakers, paperhangers, car penters and joiners, painters, leather trades, dyers, ship riggers, carmen, carvers and gliders, packing-case makers, gs-meter makers, trunkmakers, carduitikers, and about 0 smaller trades. Mr. George Puerree, President of the Working Men's Association, occupied the chair ; and Mr. Hartwell acted as secretory. The Sac KETARY read a report from the committee of the Working Men's Association, stating the objects with which the conference had been called together, after which the various delegates banded in their credentials, and the conference was duly formed. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the delegates in explana tion of the reasons which had induced the Working Men's Association to convene the conference. With respect to the legality of trades' unions Mr. Nate haul introduced a bill into parliament of a temporary character, but lie did not like temporary measures in cases of this description. The trades wanted it bill of • permanent character. With respect to the commission of inquiry the trades were not opposed to it. They, on the contrary, courted inquiry, feeling convinced that they would come out of the inquiry with honour and credit, and it would be the duty of the conference to adopt such measures as would ensure competent witnesses being brought forward to give evidence on behalf of trades unions. The confer ence now being formed was the work of himself and his colleagues in the Working Men's Association, and he would now leave the chair • and it would become the duty of the conference to ele ct: • chairman, secretary, and treasurer. The President then left the chair. Messrs. M`Donald, Miners' Association; Mr. George Potter, and Mr. John Holmes, Leeds, were then severally proposed as chairmen of the conference, and on being put to the vote Mr. 0. Potter was elected almost unani mously. seven votes being given both Mr. M'Donald awl Mr. Holmes. Mr. K. Hartwell was elected secretary with out opposition, and Mr. John Holmes, of Leeds, as trea surer. The delegates then gave in the numbers each repre sented. when it appeared that the total number represented was 2A2,610. This announcement was received with loud cheers. The remainder of the morning sitting was occupied in routine huskiess and laying down rules for the guidance of the conference. The conference adjourned at 1 o'clock for one hour, for refreshment.

Upon inquiry this morning at Guy's Hospital it was ascertained that the names of the unfortunate suf ferers were—Mr. Harris, aged GS years, the tibia MRS fractured, and he received other injuries; Peter Wells, aged ?7, fractured tibia, fibre, and in ternal injuries ; Richard Dukes, aged 28, a compound frac ture of fibre and tibia ; Daniel Dempsey, aged 01, dead ; Egbert Granby, aged 15, serious wound ou the head and other injuries. The two poor fellows who had, one his arms amputated and the other his leg, remained all night in a state of great weakness. It is supposed that the weight of the girder in !twinging caused the traveller to get out of gear, and the weight ou one side only was the means of throwing the bridge on one side, and hence its suddenly breaking and causing the ponderous machine to topple over. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN SHOREDITCH. THE ISQID3T.-ITHIS DAY.) • This forenoon, Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquest at the Green Man Tavern, Heston Old•town. on the body of Jane M'Carthy, aged 32 years, who died partly from wounds inflicted on herself after she murdered her youngest child. The inquest upon the child in question, Hannah M'Carthy, aged two years, was resumed and concluded at the same time. _ Kate Imy, 10, Shap-street, Shoreditch, said that the de ceased woman lodged in the same house. She was the wife of a labourer who was in prison. Her mind seemed to be much affected by the imprisonment of her husband. She was never the same sines she visited him a few weeks ago. She was sober and very hard working. On Tuesday List she was in bed from illness. On the previous night she had been in an almost frantic state, and during that uorming' also made use of such bad language that witness believed s he was delirious. In the forenoon witness noticed that she was trying to conceal something in the waistlamil of her petticoat. At about 2 o'clock witness went into the room and saw some blood on her night-dress as she lay on her back in the bed. Witness milted her where the blood came from, and she shook her head. Witness then saw that her throat was cut, and looking over the bed she saw a white-handled razor near her band, and the child Hannah lying on its side, with its throat cut. Witness ran out and fell on the Lording from terror. On Thursday last the deceased woman said to a police constable, in witness's presence, " I have done the foul act." The parish doctor had been attending the de ceased woman, and he gave a certificate that she was suffering from pleurisy, and witness gave him a message from Mr. Andrews, the relieving officer, suggesting that it was a ease of fever, and requesting him to certify to that effect ; but he, or rather his assistant, refused to do so. The murder would never have taken place but for that refusal Mr. Chas. Bewley, surgeon, said that he had seen the deceased woman prior to the murder, and also since. She died on Friday last from mania, and also from the know- ledge that she committed the crime. The incisions in her throat were very superficial, and only accelerated her death. ----- The following was the statement made by the deceased woman to Police-constable Darker, 134 N, " I did the rash art of cutting Cho AIM'. tlarn.t myself. I did the foul act. I murdered it. Ido not know what I did it for. I tried to do something to myself also. I could not take care of the child Hannah, and I thought God would." It appeared that the pariah allowed the mother and four children 2a. lid. a week and two loaves of bread. There was no want, for the mother worked very hard until she laid herself up, one witness said, by her over exertion. On the Saturday before the murder, Dr. Wallis's assis tant visited her, and certified that she was suffering from pleurisy. (hi Monday, Mr. Andrews, the relieving-officer, saw her, and thinking it was a case of fever, ordered wine, &c., and asked Dr. WOW' assistaut to certify that it was a case of fever, but that gentleman refused to do so. Mr. W. C. Brand, the assistant to the parish surgeon, was sent for at the request of the jury, and said that the deceased woman had come to the surgery on the Thursday before the crime, on a parish order. She complained of a pain in her side, and them was no indication of fever. He visited her on Saturday, and found her suffering from pleurisy. On the Monday she was worse. On that day be was asked to give a certificate that she was suffering from fever, in order that she might be sent to the hospital, but he was certain that there was no contagious fever or any fever other than that concomitant with pleurisy, and of course .he could not send such a case to the hospital. On the Monday when he saw her she was perfectly rational. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict "That the child Hannah M`Carthy was wilfully murdered by her mother Jane M'Carthy while she was of unsound mind; and that the said Jane M'Carthy died from mania accelerated by an incision in the throat, and that she inflicted the said incision with her own hand while of unsound mind."

LWITREM ON BALLOONING. —On Thursday last at Winchester, and on March lid at Marlborough Col lege, Mr. Coxwell lectured on the subject of Ballooning, which was considered not only in its scientific but in its popular aspect.

The warden of Winchester Col lege has expressed that considerable gratification was afforded by Dlr. Coxwell's lecture on ballooning, and the We scholars at Marlborough College were equally well pleased. Tue Pors.—A letter from Rome, in the Monde, says :—" The Pope is taking his holidays during the car nival by visiting some charitable establishment or enter ing some church to pray in the morning when public di ' versions are suspended. The crowds throng his pas sage with unequivocal marks of sympathy and vener ation. A few days since, in taking a walk in the quarter of ht. John Lateran, the Holy Father deigned to call at an bumble school for young girls kept by the sisters of the Sacro Sangue. He was not expected. At the sight of the Pontifical cortege mistrceses and pupils all fell on their knees and begged for the 1 apostolic benediction, which the august visitor conferred with much effusion. He seemed to say to those who stood around, like his Divine Master, 'Suffer little children to come unto me.' During nearly half au hour I he occupied himself with putting questions to the little girls about the catechism, and made others recite the', morning and evening prayers. Before leaving the act.. oo l he handed to the mistresses some medals av as o f money for the best pupils." ARREST OF THE ALLEGED COMMANDER IN•CHIEF OF THE FENIANS.-)THIS DAY.) EXPECTED EMEUTE.

Kershaw, Leese, and Co. have resorted to short time at Mersey Mills. Various deputations waited on the masters, urging the withdrawal of the notices, or a recourse to short time, but this they refused to accede to. The strip pers, grinders, and Lenten held a private meeting in the People's Concert Hall last evening, when a resolution was passed pledging the meeting to resist the reduction by re maining out on strike. One of the speakers said he would starve and die rather than submit to have his already scanty wages reduced 10 per cent. Another speaker said they would not only resist the reduction, but would soon go for an IIIIVATICC of 10 per cent. The meeting was anent. mous in their determination to remain out, and plans for raising funds for sustaining the strike were submitted and approved. The weavers' meeting in the Oldfellows'-hall, on Friday night passed similar resolutions. The strippers and grinders have a union ; the weavers have no union ; whilst the spinners are capable of affording 10s. per head for 12 mcnths.—.Moneherfcr Examiner.

T E Ex rLoSION AT PAUSILIPPO.—A cor respondent. writing from Naples on the 23rd ult., gives the following ad,litioual particulate relative to the blowing up of the powder magazme at Pausilippo, which is close to the city, houses being erected along the whole way " The terrible accident, of which I have given you an account, has had far more fatal consequences than were known yesterday. More than 100 persons have been the victims, and of the wounded many are so mutilated that the majority of them will not recover. A party of gentle men and two ladies who were boating near the shore were all blown up, and the boat upturned into the sea. All perished before they could have assist ance in the first moment of confusion. A party oonipcoeit of many ladies and gentlemen at a picnic (who they were is not yet ascertained) were quietly enjoying themselves on the promontory of l'ausilippo situated above the powder-magazine, and they were launched into the sea and, into eternity quite unprepaml. Of five chil dren who were playing on the beach one only was found alive and much injured. Of the 45 soldiers composing the outpost station none are alive except those who were not on guard and had gone to a distance from the spot. The various workmen and bricklayers employed in the vicinity of the promontory, where many beautiful villa. are situated, have much suffered by being thrown down when the shock took place. The scene near the spot was up to 2 p.m. yesterday, or fur three hours after the occurrence, one of the must heart-rending description—mothers, wives, relations, and friends rushing to ask about those dear to them, and not even able in many instances to find the remains of the deceased, the bodies having been hurled by the explosion into the sea. As soon as news of the accident reached this city the au thorities started off for Paueilippo with the Prince of Carignan, the prefect, and the mayor, with a body of troops, whose joint exertions saved many victims buried under the fallen buildings. The cause of this calamity is as I stated in my letter yesterday. The officer in charge had robbed the stores of some :t5 buffets of powder, which fact having been reported to the police a couple of agents were sent to arrest hiss. When they appeared he must have lost his reason, sad rushed deliberately to where the powder stood. The conjecture is that be then fired his potol, and to hbie his shame blew himself up with the building and all the people about the place."
