STUTII: AI:DT, MAncii . . _ DRL'RV-LALNK The RA Roy revived on Saturday night at Drnry-lane Theatre is the old Covent -ganlen version, by Pocock. first played at Drury-lane, dui) , a, on tiro iiee.lll/011 of a benefit, and produces! at Llinhurgh in 1514, with Mackay. the celebrated Scotch actar. as Bailie Nicol Jar Ce. Mackay was so sincesaful in Edinburgh, and won ouch warm praise from Sir Walter Stott and others. tint lie ern brought to Drary-lace for thi• ben-fit C'ooper's), and during the week or so that he militated in grains lie played the Bailie, the Issiril of lbanbiealces, and Donahue Sampson. He was a little two Scoteir for the playgoer) of those days, who were not so well drilled in dialects as we ire at pre- Sent. The ILsille at Penn-lane in the pn"ent revisal is Mr. Phelps, who perforoaal the character several times at Sadler's Wells during his leeseesh ipof tint theatre. Nothing is more cheerful than to sin an excelleat come em. if the dry school, drop all the tragedy, starch. an,! aeportment that he has been struggling with for several months in the name theatre, and rollick about with a false cone, a bald head, and a red-hut poker, as if he had been a stook low comedian of the Adelphi theatre hum his cradle. Those who think that tragedians are made of different stuff from other actors will be surprised to see that Mr. Phelps avails himself of all those arts which are the stock-m-trade of low comedians. His representation of the Bailie is dis tinguished by all that whimsical earnestness and coninausd over the Scotch dialect which make his Sir l'ertinac Mae- Sycophant so remarkable. It is the most finished portrait in the drama. Mr. M'lntyre, an actor, who, if we remember rightly, made nothing of the insipid parts given to him at the Lyceum, and who brought himself into honourable notice by his powerful im personation of Re;ne Riderhood, in Uer Mutual .I.* rind, at Sailler's Well+, is a vigoions and effective ' Deno'. Ilia conception of the character seems to be something between Orson and the Yellow Dwarf ; and his execution is fiery awl untamed. Mr. T. Powrie, who made his first appearance in London as Rob Roy, has little that we could ilia:eve! to distinguish him from Mr. Ander son, Mr. Swinburne, Mr. Crenwick, and a score of um calar actors. His delivery is growling and monotonous, but his energy and impudent bearing are well suited to the character, which bas a good deal of the old Collar; stamp about it. Helen Macgregor was represented by Miss H. Cl. Le Thieve, a lady who was nowt natural awl ladylike in comedy at the St. James's, but who has neither the face, voice, nor figure for nerve melodrama at a largo theatre. The smaller parts were well acted, but Rashleigh Oshaldistone, by Mr. R. Phelps, is rather a lath and plaster villain. The two warblers—Francis Osbaslistone and Diana Vernon— were represented by Mr. W. Harrison (in place of Mr. Sims Reeves, and Miss Cross—a young holy who m.olo her first appearance in London. Thin is not the coluaan for musical criticism, but we may say that the lady ape pears to have a well-cultivated mettoacsinum voice, which, if not powerful, is always in tune. Mr. Harrison sang better than we have heard him sing lately, and intro duced the ballad, " You'll remember me." from the Bole • titian Girl, to the bbwilderment of many of his audience. Such tricks are not so well understood now as they were in the palmy days of the drama. An increased band and chorus has been engaged to do justice to the original music by Sir Henry Bishop and others. The celebrated " Tramp chorus," which has been admired by so many great composers, was well sung, but the effect was lessened by the singing masses remain ing stationary. The fight in the pass of Aberfoyle between the Macgregor clan and the Royal troops was admirably managed, forming one of those exciting pictures for which this house is now famous. The revival was enthusiasti cally received, and all the chief actors were called before the caftan. On Saturday afternoon a deputation of the Lon don Working lieu's Association waited on Mr. Gladstone to express their opinion on the Reform Bill. Mr. POTTER acted as spokesman, and said his companions especially desired to impress upon I the nemenity of liaaiug a ledger clause is the bill. Mr. taanaroNe: sail be should be very glad to receive say statement hoe the deputation upon this subject, but Ise should be obliged to then. if they would give him their opinions in writing, so that he might refer to their views; bnt he need not tell the•t t►at be was as much per. aUfUled of the necessity of • lodger clause as they were. Tts- difficulty. however, was to decide under what form a lodger could make his claim to be placed on the re gister. Mr. Parma reylied that the working classes were assured d Mr. Gladstone 's recognition of their claims, and they most heartily thanked him fee it. The working men had fang agitated for their rights, and it was not satisfac tory to them to coltiaue this agitation ; and they looked to Mr. Gladstone, an the head of the great lib...vial party, as cue who psi the fall eontideiwre of the country-lov bear)—and as one who, ie Lis place in parliament, spoke in defence of the weritlng classes for a settlement ot this question which would be honest to those clasnio. The working classes sumerted the measure of the liberal government of last *elision, not became • t ease the ikvple all they wanted, but because they Tee... Meal I. that measure an honest desire to meet the claims of tbo working classes. Since that bill had been thrown out the agitation by the people bad been very extensive. Thu London Working Mop i Association and their friends in the country called for a residential and registered manhood su image, protected by the ballot, but they were prepared to waive that principle at the pre,ent time, if by so doing they could ensure a reform bill containing an honest household suffrage, and a liberal lodger franchise, in the belief that by such • measure every man would in a few years be educated up to the franchise point, and bo able to justify his claim to a vote. The engine-drivers and firemen of the Loudon. Brighton, and South set Railway have addreneed the follow iug reply to the directors :—" The engine-drivers and firemen employed on the London, Brighton, and Mouth Coast Railway respectfully lielmowleilge the receipt of proposals made to them by the directors in answer to their memorial, and desire to tender them their hearty thanks for the consideration accorded to them. They freely admit that the proposals now offered would to some extent remove their present causes of complaint, and render their working more satisfactory to them selves, anti, as they believe, wore beneficial to the com pany. They inbuilt. however, with all deference, that the proputel to fix the working on the bans of titi hours a week of six working days, instead of 10 home' daily labour, is liable to many objections, which, perhaps, did not ocean to the directors. The engine-drivers and fire men look at the matter in this light—Under the system of working by 00 hoar a week, they nay have to work 15 hours ire one day and only five the neat; or it might be possible to keep them oil for 20 hours oa OW day. and allow theta to be off the next. Now, they believe that the detriment to themselves soil risk to the public ere caused by that one day's overwork, which cannot be coin petituated by abstinence from labour on the succeediug 4.4. What they really desire is to work day by :ley, es :early as possible for ten hours, and in CaSt , where that must be exceeded, that their overtime shall euitut by the excess daily, and task by the execs over le hours weekly. It. is not believed that there would be any real difficulty in waking such on vue rangemewt, and me the dhectors have an anxious desire to arrive at el jut and aitisfactory settlement of the ques tion, their -vents respectfully ask that the simple ar ming-meet or ten hams a day should be adopted instead of 60 hours a week as prepueed. The engineelrivers would further say, without redectingat all on the immage trent of the Brighton thtilway, that there are other lines when the men have been induced to agree to a weekly bads of 72 Times, in the belief that that would imply a daily labour of 12 11.1.171., whereas some of them are now ✓iming from le; to 19 hours a day, awl yet not exceeding the 72 hours n week. It is to prevent this very thing, mid effect a permaneat senhinient of the question, that the men are so anxious to have their time defined by the day instead of by the week. The directors say that • arrengementa will he made to obviate any ground of diseatisfaction AS to the payment for extra time and the working out of detail." If by thin the direuters mean that they will adhere as much us pos sible to the ten hours a day, and that in rare rases whine it may be exceeded the excess shell be counted as overtime, let them say so in plain words, and the difficulty is at nit end. The eneine-driven are ilieppointed that the directors have taken no notice of the second and third points in the rite muriel re.teeting mileage awl shed :.aye. The 111,11 attach greet important* to the question of mile-age, and they take the absence of airy allusion to it by the directors es an indication that tl.ey will le compelled to run as many nines as superiutenclents limy think expedient. In refer ence so the scale of wages the directing say, • It would be unjust and inexpedient that all should he placed on a footing of equality as reg inls pay, irrespectiv e or expe rience end the other iv:Aß:4l%ollth constitute a first-chew driver, we distinguished from an ordinary driver.' In au swer to this, the engine -drivers would say, in the tint place, th: y think that no inommetent or inexperienced mail should he employed to drive an engine. The &day of life and property, and the man's own safety, demand that he should not be treated with such responsibility. lint, having got a man thununghly qualified. they think is. ca. a day isnot extra% :Leant pay for bins. If there are men who bane moved themmelvee of extra capacity, or higher attainments, the Wheels can always adveuoe their potation by conimitting to them the higher trusts, and by rendering their lot somewhat easier than others, or even some extra remuneration might, in some way, be awarded to such valuable servants. It is creditable to the • older and more experhuced ' driven of the company, that they were unanimous in agreeing to a memorial fur a scale of wage. which vrouhl not benefit themselves, except hy insuring that, while they were careful and attentive to their own duties on the road, they had drivers, both before and be hind thee, who were careful and competent also. The engine-drivers are glad to hear that ' the company has established and maintained, without contributions front the men, a fund to provide for the superannuation of Incapacitated or old and faithful servant.,,' which now amounts to t 2,853/., but they must say that this is the first time they eves heard of it. The engine -driven and firemen have to thank the board respectfully for conceding so freely all the other points in the memorial. especially for the assurance that they will be quite ready to see any man who may feel dissatisfied, and they hope they will be equally generous in reconsidering the matters of the hours and wages, in which, perhaps, the difference may be more apparent than real. They regret, however, to any that, as the case at present stands, the omission of any I allusion to the mileage and shed days, and the proposal of the directori on hours and wages, are not at all sate:- factory, and they cannot consent to work under then:.

'/ate principal members of the majority in the Chamber of Deputies met yesterday at the house of the President of the Ministry, to examine the chief questions respecting which the government intends to submit proposals to the Chamber. The meeting was animated by a spirit of great harmony. This evening a more numerous meeting will be hold, and it is expected that a decided agreement will be established between the majority and the ministry. The Italie of this evening asserts that a supplement to the Budget is to be distributed among the mem bers of the Chamber of Deputies, showing that a reduction in the expenditure of thirty million lire is to be effected. Mr. GREEN referred to the compound householder question, and wild it would be unjust to call upon that class to pay the rates direct before they had the rote, because if they pant their rent they pail the rates, and when they ceased to pay the rent they ceased to bold the homes.

STRIKE OF AGIUCCLTURAL LABOFEERS.—Though the weather has been most inclement since the " turn out" of the farm labours at Gawcott for en advance of wages to 12s. per week, with Is. per day for Sunday work (the pre vious amount paid being only Ea. and 10s. per week), yet the 2.4 who left their employment in that village are still on strike, supported from the fund which has been formed in order " to enable them to obtain their just rights," and which has received considerable augmentations in re sponse to the appeals of the secretary, who, among other subscriptions, has received, In consequence of the paragraph which appeared a few days ago in the Ti 1.11., a sum of 5/. (ruin " A landowner and clergyman, who is willing to help the men to better wages and cottages to." Similar expressions of sympathy are continually flow ing in from various quarters. Enough was distributed ou Saturday among the labourers to satisfy their families' requirements ; and some of the labourers have been sent to situations in different parts of the country at 14s. and 16a. per week. The secretary says he hopes in the course of another week or so to send 14 more to other districts, on wages amounting to about res. per week, and shortly to draught all the agricultural labourers out of Gawcott, so that the farmers there will be obliged to advancethe rate of wages if they would obtain labour at all. Edward Esater, one of the Gawcott labourers, has on their behalf issued an address to the public, which is a curiosity as coming from that clam, and in which occur the following missages —" We are poor men and wish to have facts fairly stated, as the only thing that can give us a standing in the sight of the public. For a long time we have complained, and stated our position to our employers. In some cases we have been laughed at and had indefinite promises. We have worked all the winter at 9s. and 10s. per week ; we are willing to take the sum of 12a. per week. To show that the former price was not enough, J. C. has a wife and eight children lone boy earns :is. per week) ; W. M. has a wife and five children ; E. E. has a wife and four chil dren ; W. 8. has a wife and three children. This is an example of some of the families who have lived, or rather breathed on Os. and 10a. per week. What Is a man to spend when he Ina paid—rent, 1.. IW. ; firing, la. ; bread, at l'Ad. per loaf, &c. ? We have nothing left for the clothier, draper, butcher, shoemaker, &c. Where are we labourers with our industry ? Why, on the verge of pauperism. We ask that we may live—not as paupers, but by our own industry. We are wil ling to work, that our families may live. All we now ask is 12s. per week, and for those who work on Sundays Is. more. For this application some of us had a part of our week's wages put into our hands, and were dismissed there and then. Will the advance of wages bring ruin on our employers? We know it will not, but it will enable us to have more to eat, in order for us to do our work to their satisfaction." It is noteworthy that the men still off work are represented as conducting themselves peaceably and respectfully towards their previous employers, and refraining from processioning and other things calculated to annoy the farmers ; and we are told that the strike fund is sufficient to enable them to hold out for some time to conic. Mr. John Bin and Mr. Thomas Baker, jun., of Buckingham, have undertaken to act as secretary and treasurer to the labourers in this movement. —Tam% . 447;iiimabomntaosTION. —The Southampton papers contain a i.....eepundence, divulging a hoax of en extraordinary character played on the vicar and church at tendants at Newport, Isle of Wight, on Sunday last. The vicar, the Rev. G. H. Connor, writes to Mr. Preem, the Electric Telegraph Compauy's engineer at Southampton, calling attention to the fact that the following telegram CAM, into his Lerida on Sunday morning, and, " consid...ring the intelligence of great public importance," the rev. gen tleman says, " I read it to the assembled congregation, and requested their prayers for those who were supposed to be in so much peril. Here is the despatch :—` Private. Dub lin. Fortifications attacked. Two thousand Fenians killed and wounded. Telegraph office burnt down. Fleet of Fenian' off Liverpool expected to attack that port to-day.' To my horror and consternation," adds the vicar, "in making further inquiries at the telegraph office here I dis covered that the telegram was a gross fabrication." Mr. Preece, in his reply, expresses his deep regret for what had occurred, arid which arose, he says, from the fact that a boy in the telegraph office at Southampton had been play ing a practical joke with his friend at Newport, who, an a pastime, telegraphed to him to know if there was any news from Ireland ; and adds that both have been suspended, awaiting the judgment of the directors of the Telegraph Company. Mr. Connor rejoins, expressing his belief that the boy was joking with his friend, and pleads for both being retained in the company's service.

It directs the Southern dis trict commanders to cause the registration before the Ist of September of all male citizens of legal age qualified to vote under the recent Congresaional enactment. When such registration is completed the commander mall cause an election to take place within 30 days for delegates to a convention to form State representation. The Louisiana Legislature has ap po inted a committee to protest against the Sherman Reconstruction Bill, Charges of usurpation have been preferred against Governor Wells for declaring certain voters of Louisiana to be disqualified by the Reconstruction Bill. It is reported that his impeachment will be attempted. The elections which were to take place in Louisiana on the 11th had been postponed by the legislature, iu accordance with General Sheridan's orders, until the commander of the' district be appointed, or special instructions be received from Washington. A bill has been reported by the Virginia Legislature, proposing a State convention, but protesting against the unconstitutionality of the Reconstruction Bill.

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL. —An official gate ment has just been issued with respect to the pecuniary results of the musical festival held at Norwich at the close of October and the commencement of November. It appears that the profits of the festival amounted to 971 f. (as compared with 1,221/. in 186*.i and 9161. in 1860), of which it is proposed to divide 950 f. among various local charities, while the balance of 211. will be carried forward to the credit of the sixteenth festival in September, 1859. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF LONDON. —The first spring show of this society this season took place on Saturday, and in spite of • rather unfavourable . lay it was very successful. There was a numerous company, and the display of flowers was excellent, the recent inclement weather being taken into consideration. Of rose', that are called summer beauties, there was a large and beautiful collection both in pots and cut. The tulips were also in great force, and very fine, dvvvling the eye by their gaudy colours, while the collection of softer-tinted hyacinths loaded the air with their delicious perfume. Finer speci mens of the hitter have rarely been seen. The cyclamens, sent by Messrs. Henderson and Son, of Wellington-road, St. John's-wood, were also very fine, large, well-bloomed plants. Chinese primroses, lilies of the valley, ferns, bright cinerarias, narcissi, camellias, orchids, and many rare and curious plant., added much to the attractiveness of the exhibition. Among the latter we may mention mignonette, grown large and busby; eucubss in dower and fruit ; common meadow-sweet, rotted and in flower; variegated geraniums, very bright ; verbena, " Lady of Langleybury," and a good collection of apples and pears. The bend of the let Life Guards was in at tendance, and performed • choice selection of music during the afternoon. REMOVAL OT SHAREHOLDERS' NAMES FROM REGlstee.—The judgments delivered yesterday morning by Lord Justice Cairn. are of considerable importance at the present time, when so many cases are being brought forward of variance between prospectus and articles of association. Lord Justice Cairns' judgments want, as no doubt they will receive, careful rending. The result is that Mr. Lawrence, on the list of shareholders in the Cachar Company (Limited), and Mr. Kincaid in the Russian (Vyksounski) Iron Works Company (Limited), are not entitled to have their names removed from the register, because they did not exercise duo diligence in objecting to the course the directors were taking, when they knew, or might have known, of the variance upon which theynow rely. We must not be supposed to suggest that any new principle has been laid down or enforced, but in many cases it is lost sight of, and it is therefore needful, as it would seem, to have it once more authoritatively established, seeing that it may obviate expensive litigation, the only result of which can be to saddle those with costs who are already overburdened. Lord Justice Turner concurred in the result which had been come to by his learned brother in both cases, hut he desired to be understood as expressing no opinion how 'the cases would have stood if there had been no delay after the knowledge of the variations which had been re lied upon as ground fur relief.—Solieitors' Journal. T Si RAILWAY ChNis.—At a numerously and influentially attended meeting held at Pratt's New Lan don hotel, Exeter, on Friday, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : " That an association of the shareholders of the Great Western, the London and South Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and the South Devon and Cornwall Railways be formed to devise some means to advance the interests of the shareholders in those corn. ' psalm in the prevent crisis.' MENTZ'S METAL COMPANY. —The report of the directors setting f>rth the result of the year's operations states that the concern has suffered from the depressed state of the copper market and the consequent reduced value of the stock. After allowing for had debts occurring during the financial crisis, the profit amounts to 27,387/. ; this with the amount brought forward from last year leaves a disposable balance of :114,1401. After reserving 13,5110/. for bad debts, and writing off 1,000/. for plant and machinery, the net balance is 'AWN. A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per anuum is recommended. and 11.3701. to be carried forward to meet fluctuations in the value of the stock. FIRE AT ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, NOTTING-HILL. —At an early hour yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the church dedicated to St. Andrew, and it was not got under until considerable damage was done, although the building was of corrugated iron. The disaster is supposed to have arisen in connection with the dues used for warm. ing the church. The loss is covered by insurance. SHOCKING DEATH ON THE SOUTH EASTERN DAIL WAT.--On Saturday afternoon, the body of a respectably dressed man was found about twenty yards past the Spa road Station of this railway. The head wax severed from the trunk, and the right ann and left leg nearly cut off. The deceased was lying across the Mid Kent line. It is believed that several trains passed oser his body. At prt• sent nothing is known ut the deceased . He is apparently 1 about 35 years of age. Mr. Gx.snaroxt, in the course of his reply, said there had been issued that morning a parliamentary return, brought out in consequence of a question put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, giving information with regard to the compound householders, and he strongly advised them, and reformers generally, to obtain it and study it. From it he had gleaned some information with regard to this professed household suffrage bill. In Birmingham there were 2,3.4 people, less than I per cent. of the population, who might be en franchised under the bill as ratepaying householders not enfranchised at present ; but there were 36,137 compound householders who would be disqualified. (Shame.) The case of Brighton was still more remarkable and absurd. The bill would enfranchise 14 persons who paid their rates, while it would exclude 2,553. (Hear.) In Kidderminster the number admitted by the I :I would be 21, anal the number excluded 2,343. (Hear.) There were many other boroughs where similar facts were shown. There was a metropolitan borough—Southwark—where 14d would be enfranchised, and 4,487 excluded. There were a number of places where the Small Tenements Act was in tome in one part of the borough anal not in another. There were also boroughs where every occupier paid his own rates, and in those places the householders would be enfranchised, but these places were only few in number. Take Stoke-upon-Trent for example. By the bill 15,171 persons would be enfran chised ; but what would be thought of a bill which qualified for the franchise 15,00 0 in Stoke anal only 14 in Brighton ? Thus, in a great measure, tide bill would actually give the franchise to the unskilled labourer of the small towns, while it effectually excluded the skilled artisans of the large manufacturing towns and of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) No one could say that those who represented the unskilled labour were so well qualified to exercise the franchise as those who represented the skilled labour of the country The skilled artisans were an intelligent class of men, men who read the daily newspapers, who were conversant with the greet public questioa.s of the day, who understood the principles of self-government as evinced by their combina tions anal organisation , ' for trade and provident p These claimer' were entirely distinct from the unskilled labouring class, who almost invariably lived on the verge of poverty, and whose whole thoughts were directed as to how they could best obtain the means of a bare sub sistence. By the bill as it now stood, in such places as Stoke these classes would be largely enfranchised, while the skilled artisans were excluded. If the bill were to pass as it now stood, he saw by the return■ he had before referred to that in many towns occupiers of Louses on one side of a street would be enfranchised, while those of the houses on the opposite side would be excluded, and this was called a household suffrage bill. The power of confer ring or withholding the franchise was placed in the hands of parochial authorities. Should the bill pass as now pro it would be intolerable, and no sooner would it become law than the whole country would be in a flame. (Cheers.) This mot not be. There must be an honest and liberal enfranchisement of the people, an equitable repre sentation of the working Glasses ; not one which would create invidious distinctions by dual voting as proposed. A bill embracing a lodger franchise, and to no other bill would he, or he believed the liberal party, give any consent. (Hear, hear.) If the deputation would furnish him with the wishes of the Working Ham's Association in writing be would give them his best attention and serious considera tion. Mr. HarrwriA. said that many working-men of London lived a long way from their work, and by the poll being clo.ed at four o'clock, they were shut out. The time he thought should be 8 o'clock in the morning untilB at night. Mr. GLADSTONZ said thia was • subject which it would be very proper to consider. Mr. BRYAN asked if it would not be possible to introduce the ballot into the Reform Bill. Mr. GLAikaruam replied by asking the deputation if they did not think that the growing intelligence and indepen dence of the working classes made the ballot unnecessary. For his own part he found that there was a growing in disposition on the pert of the house to consider the hrdiot question, and he thought it would nut he wise to overlay the bill. The deputation generally agreed with this opinion ; and after some remarks from others of the deputation, they cordially thanked Mr. Gladstone for having received them, and withdrew. REPRESENTATION OF \Vox('EsTER.—WORCESTER, SATERDAY.—A second candidate for the seat ex to be vacated for this city by Mr. Padmore, one of tre ct sling members, has declared himself in the person of Alderman T.

H werso Do Nsiti nu Et. ger to Lord Robert Montagu having recently accepted the office of Vice-Pre sident of the Committee of Council on Education will offer himself to his constituents to-day for re-election.

If there are more persons,present with members' orders in St. Stephen's-hall at :1 o'clock this afternoon than the strangers' gallery will accommodate, the whole of the orders will be balloted for, and the holders will be ad mitted as their orders are drawn. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN.—A col lesion of a very alarming nature occurred on Saturday afternoon to the Leeds and London express, which leaves Retford at 2 all p.iu. On approaching the ?oxford sta tion, seven miles south of Retired, it overtook and came into collision with an up coal train which had been unable to shunt in time to allow it to pans. The driver of the express made every effort to pull up hi■ train, but the slippery state of the rails prevented the effectual accom plishment of his intention, and although the effect of the collision was ameliorated, still the shock was so severe that eevend passengers were mote or less injured, and me gentleman so much as to require medical aid. The guard was also much cut about the face by the broken glass of his van, but he proceeded on his journey. The up line was blocked for several hours, compelling the officials to work all trains en the down, but go very protracted delay occurred. The memorial of the men of the Great Northern Railway has been presented, and the directors have pro mised to give it early consideration. Therein still nano n to fear a strike on the part of the engine drivers and firemen on the North Eastern Railway. On Friday the glirectors having received a deputation from the men at York, consented to the limita tion of the hours of work as propised, but refused to make the advance naked for in the rate of wages paigi, and it is expected that the men will send in their notices hnme diately.

The alarm was increased by the ap pearance of between :10 and 40 persons, strangers, in the vicinity of the butte, making inquiries as to the where abouts of Stowe-home, and apparently taking observationa. An intimation of these suspicious appearances was given to the duke, and a posse of the Bucks county constabulary force, with some members of the Royal Bucks Yeomanry Cavalry, were immediately summoned for d uty at Stowe. The duke's steward and his sons, who belong to the local vohm teer rifle corps, were ale, in readiness, as well as a number of his grace's workpeople ; and preparations were made to ' hunt the Fenians,' and to give them a warm reception. Police and military duty were also kept up during the week at the Yeomanry Barracks, the Bowing) Tower, and other places in Buckingham, as well as at Stowe. If any thing like an attack by the Fenian fraternity were really meant, it would seem that discretion was considered the better part of valour in the face of these quickly impro vised preparationa, for though the duke's steward and his sons, with the police, were out for one or two nights scouring the park for the ' insurgents' they bad Wisp. peered, and nothing more could be sorts of them." CHATHAM, MAID-11 •24.—Yesterday an order was received at this dockyard countermanding that previously given for the disclusrge of the female hands employed in the rope-spinning department. who will, for the present, work reduced hours, until the huge stocks of yarn now in hand are exhausted. The bands employed in the spin ning departments at the other dockyartb are all to be dis charged, and the whole of the spinning effected at Chat ham yard, where, with the improved machiuery in use, it can be effected considerably cheaper than at the other royal dockyanls.
