THE TAILORS' STRIKE. TO THE ZDITOIt OP THE rx M. S:1:,--Thu Master Tailors Association are de- Ikons of removing some misapprehensions and to give some explanations as to the causes and n.-ture of the ittrile among the operative tailors in London, and I have therefore to ask you to be good enough to give insertion to the following communication. la order that the present dispute may be fully uiiiicritood it is in cemiary to explain the principle on which the journeymen tailors in London are paid, differing as it does from the general rules which govern most other trades. For upwards of 30 years peat the tailors have been paid upon a scale of remuneration leased upon a calculation of the time that it would take an ordinary workman to make a particular ger meet, not as the time within which the garment must he made, but merely as the leans 'or talcidatiug the wages, and the workman is then paid VP much per hour calm,- kited on that scale. This is what is now called the " time kg." Under this " time log" every garment bas a certain slumber of hours appropriated to it. to change has been made in this " time log." The only change sought for up to the present time has been ac increase of the rate of payment per hour, thee in feet giving increased wages. Xide, this special principle of calculating wages recent mends itself as a fair and equitable one both to masters and to men; and I venture to think that the trade has reason to feel gratified that it has 80 long governed their mutual raations. The effect is that aoconling to the degree of skill and industry so is t:ie de c ree of pay - meet. It is in effect a priasiple of " piece work." and the " time log " w nothing more Limn a basis on which to calculate the money to be paid fur each piece of work ; and when an increase of wages has been agreed upon it has simply been necessary to incre . -se the rate per hour. lip to the spring of 18fie the rate per hour was rid., but an increase having been demanded by the London operatives, and anangement was made, the effect of which was to in crease the wages about an averge of re. per week. Matter. so continued until the ea, iy pert of the present year, when a communication was wade to the Muster Tailors' Association from the London Operative Association, which hail become in union with the Amalgamated Society of Operatives. The object of communication was to endeavour to obtain a uniform add universal time log to regulate the trade, not only in Li ndon, but throughout the ("lilted linglom. SWIM discuseions took place be tween the committees of the was' er tailorsand of the opera *lves ; but these led to no result beyond confirming the masters in the opinion they had before entertained that it would be Impossible to settle any " universal time log " which would be applicable to London and to every other part of the United Kingdom. in Thursday, the Inth April instant, a printed circular, dated the 111th April, from the Lotion oper..tives and the amalgamated societies was sent to most of the principal London firms, inclosing what was called " The Amalga mated Society of Journeymen Tailors' Time Log," for adoption by them, and requiring a reply by 2 o'clock on Saturday. the 20th inst., the 19th being Good Friday. This circular stated that the operatives "did not seek an increase in the rate per hour, but simply the adjustment of the time necessary to realise that which was but a nominal advance." The "time log," which was enclosed, was a closely-printed pamphlet, containing 24 pages of matter, netting forth in great detail the number of hours to be acknowledged as the necessary time for making the various garments, Ice., upon which time the wages should for the future be calculated ; but it also contained a great number of items heretofore comprised in the general payment, but now demanded to be paid for as extras. This time log seeks to alter for the first time the generally adopted tints for making garments in London, and demanding an increase of so many hours, involving of course a corresponding increased payment for each gar ment ; in fact the nominal demand of further time on the time log appeared to the mestere to be nothing more nor See thee a demand for increased wages to the extent of at least Sal a week (in addition to the increase of last year), under odour of settling a "universal time log." The London masters destined to adopt the proposed "time log," and in accordance, we conclude, with orders frouithe "Opera tives' Cemmittee," the whole of the men in nearly ninety of the Principal establishments in London are now out upon strike. This association does not desire to intrude upon the public the details connected with the demands of the ope ratives., The above will give the general nature of the dispute. They abstain from any comment upon the tonne adopted by the operatives, as they are anxious not to widen the difference which has already arisen ; indeed it is due to great numbers of the men in the employ of firms represented by this association to say that they frankly:admit that they do not desire any change, nor do they approve of the proposed strike, as they are satisfied with the present rate of wages ; and we therefore are led to the conclusion that this strike is the result of the views of the headers of the two operative societies rather than of the men's uninfluenced judgment. We do not call in quadiou the seal of these leaders ; they may be lieve that they are best serving the interests of their fellow-workmen is advising the Bourse which has been adopted, but we venture to think that they are not wise in this, and that the permanent interest of the trade, both as regards masters and men, will be seriously im perilled by what is now being done. I will only a dd one further oheenation—viz., that there are numbers of ex cellent bands still employed, but we regret to say that acts of intimidation and obstruction are daily brought under the notice of this association. Apologising for the length of this letter.—l am, kc. _ _ R. LEWIS, Resident of the Master Tailors' Association of the United Kingdom. 25, fild Bond street. Yesterday may be considered to have been the virtual nentruencement of this unfortunate struggle be-' tweea labour and capital. The whole of the work in hand for those firms struck against on M on d a y l as t was yester day finierl and taken in bythe men who had the jobs, and they positively refused to take out any more work, and yesterday fully completed the organisation of both for the struggle. The men hav e a d o pt e d a most ela= system of picketing, by which they can not only ascertain what strangers may apply for work at the various shops, but detect soy work that ma be seat down to what are called the " sw e ating establi shments" in the east of Lon don ; and in many cases already the persons employed to carry this work to its destination have been followed by what see termed cross pickets, who have arrived at the ' sweaters " as'soon as the employer's messenger, and in almost every instance the result is that the work has been refused, and sent back untouched. In the tailoring trade at the West-end them are also a large number of • cham ber masters," or men who take a large quantity of work from the shops and get it done by females and the members of their own family, assisted occasionally by a few journey men. There are a6e a large body of journeymen working directly for shops, who take work home to make up, and these are called out-door workers. 'these are the two main difficulties the men have to contend with. The latter has been got over by the almost unanimous resolution of the out-door workers not to take out work from any shop on strike. More difficulty has been experienced with the •• chamber masters," who have felt less inclined as a haft to till in with the views o f th e j ourneymen , en d this diffi culty has been met by the men having induced nearly the whole body of tailoreeses working for there masters to leave their employ, find taking them on to the fund s o f th e society, and the singular fact may now be seen et the West-end of female pickets looking after their sisters of the needle less imbued with unionist feeling than them selves. Yesterday two of the pickets above referred t watching the sweating messengers, were given into the custody of the police and taken before the magistrate at Marlboiougb-street. by whom they were discharged, as will be seen on reference to our police report Letters were yesterday received by the committee from almost every town in the kingdom, promising the pecuniary support of the tailCis in those plates, and stating that meetings of the men hut been held, at which resolutions had been pared pledging them not to make up any garment sent deco to their employers from London nesters. In the meantime the employers on their part are not idle. The London Associated Masters have, it is said, sent de put diens down to all the large towns in the northern and midland counties, to induce the meters in those towns belonging to the association to lock out their men while the Louden strike lasts. In Manchester yesterday the deputations wore successful, and a general lack-out of the journeymen took place, although some time back the em pleyere pledged themselves not to lock out without giving the men a week's notice. If, as is likely, the deputations are equally as successful in the other large towns, in the course of a few days there will be at least front :10,000 to 40,000 journeymen tailors either on strike or locked out. Deputations from the men are following the mas ters' deputation, to counteract their efforts as much as possible. In addition to the five employers who have already been announced as having r.ccepted the terms of the men, laming half a dozen ugnifie 1 a similar intention to the committee yesterday, but accompanied with a request that their names should not be made public, in order to avoid any pressure being put upon them by the Masters' Association. Large remittances of money were yesterday received from the country societies, and the contralti.e intend paying every man and woman on strike full time for the present week. The men appear in high spirits, and confident of sucoess, and the employem igWt• in the same mese. lit p THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1867. THE LODGER FRA.VCHISE. A ktrge public meeting, convened by the lo•ndon Working Men's Association, was held last 'swung in tit• " in support of a liberal lodger franchise.•' Shortly after the proceedings commenced Mr. Torrens, came epee the platforn, and was loudly sheered. A little later Mr. T. Chambers, also appeared, and no sooner was he recognised than strong disapprobation was expressed by the entire audience. There were hisses, groans. cat-calla, and cries of •' How about the tea• roomr " Turn him out," and "`Send him home." The chairman had to demand fair play before the disturbance ceased. Mr. Geoeo F. Puns (the chairman) said the demonstra tions that had taken place during the Easter recess had been made to show the government that their bill was regarded with dissatisfaction by the entire country. When Lord Derby declared that his ministry would not deal with the question of reform the people lifted up their voice so unanimously in repro bation of such an intention, that the ministry saw the necessity of bringing in • bill. Various alteratiorui had been made, and an amendment was proposed by Mr. Gladstone that would have introduced at least 400,000 new voters instead of the 100,000, and 110,000 that would have been added by the personal payment of rates , as pro posed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The honesty of Mr. Gladstone's amendment, and the dishonesty of the government proposal, were shown by the following com pariion:—The government bill would give to Finsbury 4 d 7 additional electors, the amendment 1,1404 ; to the City of London the bill would give 8, the amendment 121; to Lambeth the bill would give none, the amendment 4,2'.24 ; to the Tower Hamlets the bill would give Y 9., the amend ment 15,640. The same comparisons might be made with respect to all our large provincial towns. The speaker then proceeded to condemn the course of the government. His references to Bright, Gladstone, and Mill were re ceived with enthusiastic cheeeni ; to " she great trickster" with equally enthusiastic hissing. The government (Mr. Potter continued) went in triumph to the Easter holidays, but the country bad told them the reform bill was not passed yet, and that as it now stood it could never be accepted by the people. The government had insulted Mr. Gladstone, and his own party had grossly deceived him— (hiaseid— and ho now called upon the people of the country to rally round hiin. (Cheers.) Mr. Gladstone had done wisely in telling the liberal party in the manner be had that they had deceived him. (Loud cheers.) The duty of the liberal party was to decide at once upon measures that would retrieve their position, and that could best be done by insisting upon pure and simple household suffrage with • large lodger franchise. (Pre.ewed cheers.) If this was not done, there must be more demonstrations in London, where the working then, if they chose, could get up a demonstration that would startle the government. (Cries of " Hyde-park," and loud cheering.) The next time they met they should meet outside London and march in, instead of marching out. If they could bring in 150,000 or more men, they could oc cupy the streets for the remainder of the day. (Cheers.) The speaker concluded by declaring that them could be no rest until Mr. Gladstone was restored to his proper position at the head of the House of Commons. Mr. Cormottv proposed, and Mr. Scorr seconded, the first resolution, which was carrie4 unanimously :—" That this meeting regards the limitation of the borough fran chise in the government bills' wholly inconsistent with an honest and sufficient extension of the franchise, and de clares its opinion that the measure now before parliament, ivalmuch as it requires the personal payment of rates by every occupier, and • residence of two years, and does not include any clause for the enfranchisement of lodgers, is • virtual denial of the claims of the working classes to their rightful share of political power." The CHAIRMAN here said he haul to state with deep re gret that Mr. Locke was unable to be present as he had promised. ("Shame," and hisses.) Mr. Torten's, M.P., who was received with loud cheer ing, said the first time he made • speech in St. Martin's hall stood beside the late Joseph Hume to fight • battle for household suffrage, and was prepared, after a lapse of eighteen years, to fi ght that battle again. He was ready, as before, to sacrifice his seat for his principles and he reminded the audience that a manilas; *as not worth his salt who was not able to endure unpopularity because he was in a minority. He was bound to say he did not agree with those gentlemen present who had expreseed their adverse feelings with reference to Mr. Locke, who was as honest a loan as any of them. (Cheers, and "No.") He had often seen him baited without flinching rather thanabandonhis principles, and although he might not agree with him in everything, he would never consent to remain in • • public meeting :da d{ hear his name smiled without protesting strongly against it. (Cheers.) The bill as it now stood before t h e House of Commons would never be worth supporting on the third reading. His interpretation of household suf frage was not that the knocker of the hall-door should have a vote, but that every man who, by himself or family, occupied a separate portion of • house was as much a householder as the man who had an entire house to him self. The government had offered the people household suffrage: let the people take the government at theirword and keep them to it, and if the working men were the people he took them to be, they would never relax their grasp of this offer until household suffrage was obtained. Household suffrage with • two years' residence was household suffrage with • gag in its month ; and household suffrage that did not enfranchise the compound householder was half emas culated. If the tones had trifled with a word that awoke feelings next the heart of English labour, on their heads be the blame and responsibility. If their household suffrage had been offered by the government, it became his duty as a metropolitan representative, to insist upon the addition of a lodger franchise (which in London meant household suffrage), and his views were accordingly embodied in the amendment which stood upon the notice paper of the House of Commons in his name. (Cheers.) The proposition of the government was that every male person of full age, and unconvicted of crime, who should occupy a house as tenant or owner, should possess the franchise. To the words " tenant or owner" he proposed to add "or lodger." (Cheers.) He had thought proper to bring forward the amendment at once, fearing that if the matter was delayed that fasci nating gentleman, Mr. Disraeli—(laughter}—might say, " It is true there is • peat deal to be said in favour of lodgers, but the time is up, we want to go grouse shoot ing, and you had better adjourn the lodger question for a more convenient semen." In recent conversation with Mr. Gladstone, who had asked him (Mr. Torrens) what he intended to do with regard to the lodger franchise amendment, he (Mr. Torrens) bad replied, " I have put the lodger franchise into the very first clause of the bill, because if that is not accepted at the threshold, and if Mr. Hibbert's amendment for the compound house holders is not accepted also as a rider to that clause, then Mr. Hibbert and I are exonerated from any further com plicity in the matter. We shall vote against the third reading of the bilL (Lend cheers.) One of two things must happen—either, prevailing upon the government to exercise prudence, there would be • good bill ; or else upon cross-examination in committee the government would stand convicted of insincerity and fraud, and then let them go to the country at their peril. (Cheers.) Although the bill in its present state was said to contain everything that was required, there were a few plain require ments that bad not yet been disposed of. The firm discussion would arise probably upon the two years' residence. If Mr. Gladstone did not move the omission of the qualification be bad good reason to know that some one else would, sad there was not the remotest reason to doubt that its omission would be carried, because it rested upon the absurdity of creating two constituencies in Eng land. One of these would be qualified under the act of 1832 by a twelve mouths' residence, while upon others a two years' qualification would be imposed. If one year's residence was wrong two years' was right, and via term either way the bill was wrong. (Cheers.) The next question for consideration was his own amendment in favour of a lodger franchise, which, he was happy to say, had the support of the metropolitan members. Unfortu- I nately there were not houses enough in London for one half of those who lived by labour, and until the legislaturemade some provision for adequate accommodation for the poor, so that every man might have • separate house for pelf. the government was hound not to quibble about the accident that made a lodger franchise necessary. (Cheers.) It would no doubt be said in the House of Commons both by write and whip that • lodger franchise was impracti cable, but after a careful consultation with the rate col lectors, be could pledge himself there was no ground for such an allegation. The same facilities ought to be given to lodgers to claim to be put upon the register as to ordi nary householders. There were in London some 3,000,000 of people, and if his amendment enfranchised only half a dozen lodgers he should glory is carrying it ; but if from 150.000 to 300,000 were added, how great would be the gain to the country. One answer to the charge of imprac ticability with regard to the lodger franchise, was that Mr. Disraeli himself, in 1859, had • similar clause in his reform bill, and no doubt the plan of registration which accom panied it was in the pigeon-hole at the present time. The same might be said of the bill of last year, and it was therefore the duty of Mr. Disraeli as well as Mr. Gladstone (who of course wou ld require no asking) to support this amendment. He (Mr. Torrens) should vote, as on • previous occasion, against the payment of rates question, believing that it VMS a delusion on the part of the conservatives to rest the safety of the constitution upon so beggarly a distine tion. But even if it were a good local test it ought to be abandoned when public opinion was so strongly against it. The compound householders' question did not much affect the metropolis, but it touched three-fourths of the great towns in the kingdom, and unless Mr. Hibbert's amend ment were carried, or some other amendment by which the compound householder was placed on a footing et real, substantial, actual, social, and moral equality, with the man who happened to be by the ac cident of vestrybood a direct payer of rates, no bill was likely to pass. (Cheers.) In conclusion, the hon. gentle man called upon the working men of London in their several districts to petition the legislature, to remonstrate in public meetings, and to urge without an hour's delay, until their great right was secured, taking encouragement from the fact that what had already been done had led to the abandonment of the 5/. line. (Loud cheers.) During the concluding portion of the hon. members speech, Mr. T. Chamber, left the platform to a laud and long accompaniment of groans end hisses. The following resolutiias were then pampa unanimously: —"That this ; .leciares that no reform bill can be accepted! y the people. Which does not give a li beral and comprehsive lodger franchise, and hereby calls upon the House of Coninio,s, if it is sincere in ita desire to enfrauchike the people, to support the introduction of a lodger clause into the bill now before parliament ;" and " This meeting desires to express its high appreMation of the valuable services rendered to this country by the Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., on the important subject of par- liamentary reform, and its full and entire oonfidence in him as the chosen and able leader of the liberal members of the House of Commons on this great question, and it encourages him to continue his exertions in opposing the objectionable features of the Reform Bill introduced by the present government, and most earnestly trusts he will continue to labour Al the champion of the people's cause." A vote of thanks was pained to Mr. Torrens for his attendance, and to the chairman for his presidency. The meeting separated after 11 o'clock. Rift intentstate. COURT OF PROBATE.—Areuc 26.

FRIDAY. Consequent upon the early hour at which the sport wag geed to commence to-daj, there was be little time left for specula tion upon future events at the Rooms this morning after the settling upon the previous day's racing had been gone through. The most noteworthy bet of the morning was the acceptance by the noble owner of Lecturer of 6.000 to 300 about the son of Colsterdale and Algebra for the Cluster Cup. Mr. Jackson, who laid the bet uuder uotice, also laid the Marquis of 'tutees e5,0e0 even on the foals of Blair Athol m t .d those of Stock well in the Derby of 1870. While spe aking on this subject, we may mention that Mr. Jackson has pure the brother to Rustle (a colt a month old, by Stockwell out of Village lona' for e. 500 from Mr. Sutton. The weather for the concluding day et the meeting was delightfully line. but the attendance was but small, most of the cooing men having left by the morning trains. The sport commenced at noon with the Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C.. which was won by Vandyke beating two others. A somewhat large geld con tested the Handicap Plate over the T.Y.C., but the Issue showed the „ talent" to have been right In their selection of favourite, as Mount Palatine won very cleverly. La Morrentina, with odds of 8 to 1 laid against her, had no dlllieulty In landing the Sweepstakes of le Dove. each for twos and threes over the T.Y.C., and she did the backers of Fordluun's mount • good turn. live runners contested the Newmarket Stakes for s.yr. olds, the absentee being Siiankos The issue confirmed the general opinion that the race was a good thing for Marksman, as Mr. Merry's colt made the whole of the running, and won eerily. Odds of 10 t. 1 were laid on him. The Wild Wind displayed even more temper than his stable companion, the noto rious gelding Tonle), for the moment the flog fell he whipped round and comntemod kicking, taking no part in the race. The match between Ottreger and Knight of the Harter. over the Howley mile, wherein the old 'un conceded to "the Knight" two stone, proved a very interesting affair, Odds oft to I were laid ou the stable companion of Hermit, who held a slight lead till entering the condo where he was joined by Oetreger, who, however, appeared beaten at the Bushes. Ford ham rode with great deternalnation, and just wen by a head in the last stride. The other rate require no comment. The special train left Newmarket at half-past three this afternoon, and on halting at Cambridge an attempt was made to speculate, but not much was done, and the appended list will fully hi& este the transactions. During the past week there has been a larger amount (.1 traffic on the Great Eastern line to New market than on any previous meeting, and it Is worthy of note that the large number of visitors to the Turf metro polis have arrived and been despatched with great punctuality ; the arrangements of the company, through Mr. Sprout, the dis trict superintendent, Mr. Fisher, the station toaster at Cam bridge, and Mr. Heavens, at Newmarket, being complete In every detail.

On Thursday a poor working-man applied to Mr. Cooke for an order compelling the parish authorities of St. Pan cras to grant him an order to bury his child, stating that it had died on Saturday last and the corpse was now begin ning to smell. He also stated that he had been out of work for some time, and that the officers told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself to come to the workhouse on such an errand, and that he was strong enough to pay the money. Mr. Cooke granted the order asked for, and directed that the applicant should take it to the assistant relieving over seer at once. The applicant attended again yesterday morning and said that on Thursday both be and his wife went to the Vestry-hall and saw Mr. James, who refused to take any notice of his statement or of the magistrate's order. As the smell from the corpse was getting very bad, and the place in which he resided (Draper's-place) was only a few feet wide, and almost every room was occupied by • single family. be was afraid that some contagion would break out, and he therefore went next morning, and again saw Mr. James, who said that he would not give him an order to bury the child, and when be showed him the magistrate's order he said he did not care for all the magistrates in the metropolis, and that he would not give him an osier. Mr. Flowers directed that Willoughby, one of the war rant officers of the court, should go to the vestry, and direct that Mr. James should attend before him. Mr. James attended, and said thathe could not attend to the matter on Thursday, and next morning when the applicant came, he told him that if he could not bury the child himself he had better apply to his friends. The man said that if he did not give bun an order he should go to the magistrate ; and what he told him was that if he did go he had better confine himself to the truth. When the man left he sent • messenger after him to tell him that he had given directions that a coffin should be sent, but the man would not return. _ . Mr. Flowers—Then I understand that you have given directions to have a coffin supplied to the applicant. Mr. James—Yes sir. The applicant was very hot. The applicant—l beg your pardon ;be did not lay any thing about giving me an order. He said that he did not care for all the magistrates in London. The magistrate having said that he hoped the order had been given, the matter dropped. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jain Clarke, 21, Haherdaaheretreet, City, a journey man tailor, was brought before Mr. Knox charged with " using belisviour towards Mr. Henry Meyer, of the firm of Messrs. Mortimer and Meyer, tailors, No. 36, Conduit. street, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace." Mr. Sleigh appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Edward Lewis for the defendant. Mr. Henry Meyer. of the firm of Mortimer and Meyer, tailors, Conduit-street, stated he employed between 80 and 100 workmen. The defendant was employed by him, but with others bad struck work for some days. His house was watched bickets, who followed customers to their houses and wor kmen also. About nine o'clock that morning he went out and saw the defendant with others in the street. The defendant pointed offensively at him with his thumb, this was to the picket, and also winked his eyes. The defendant followed him to various places. He stopped and spoke to two of the men, and the defendant passed him. He went to the Albany, and was followed by the defendant. When he le ft the Albany, by the Piccadilly entrance , the defendant was there. Asked the defendant if be was following him. The de fendant said he was doing nothing. A police-oosetable being near he called to him, and in the hearing of the de fendant he asked him if he could prevent the man from following him. Felt insulted and annoyed at the defend ant's conduct, the defendant having pointed at and winked at him three times. Cron-examined by Mr. E. Lewis—Could not say that the police-constable saw the defendant's offensive conduct. Mr. Knox said that was an important admission. Mr. Lewis evidently meant to contend that the defendant we wrongfully in custody. Under the clause of the Police Act, the offence must be in sight of the constable to justify his receiving a person into custody. Police-constable Pike, C 51, said he saw the defendant look at the complainant in what appeared to him to be an offensive way. He saw nothing more. Mr. Knox said he must hold that the defendant was wrongfully taken into custody. But before discharging him he would tell the defendant that without doubt he bad broken the law, and that to follow •penion about for hours was contrary to law, because likely to lead to • breach of the peace. The defendant had escaped through an irregularity in his capture, but he would tell him that he had grave doubts whether an indictment of a far more serious character would not lie against him. The act of 1859 was for the protection of workmen, but it would not protect them if they followed persona about to their an noyance. Those parties who persisted in such con. duct rendered themselves liable to an indictment for conspiracy at the quarter sessions. He would reverse the case, and suppose that masters acted in the way work. men now act—that they followed workmen to their places of work and got them removed from their employment, thus reducing them and their families to starvation. Could anything be more heinous or indefensible ? Work men bad full right to put their own price on their work, but they had no right to put pressure on their maiden to compel them to pay them their own rate of wages. He was sorry to say that journeymen tailors were far too numerous at that court in cases of drunkenness and assaults, the effect of which was that their wives and children were sometimes reduced to destitution, and then they came to that court for relief from the poor-box. Mr. B. Lewis remarked that only one side of the cue had been heard. Mr. Knox would admit that this was so, and that his remark might be taken u having only general application, but he repeated that while admitting the right of work. men not to work for particular masters if they thought fit unless they got their own rate of wages, it was illegal to put pressure on masters to compel them to accede to their wishes. The defendant must be discharged, as the proper course would have been not to give him into custody but to get his name and address and take out a summons. A second summons for a similar offence against Jeresnak Mack was discharged without being heard. The Nowntmoott-aitaztt DurrußßANciss. —At the Bridgewater Oouaty Police-court yesterday, the Rev. James Hunt charged Mary Ann Langford and Mary Grace Stone (two married women), William CareY, George (alias Turpin) Bitch, and Albert Fear, with being guilty of certain riotous behaviour in Northmoor-green Church on Good Friday last during the performance of Divine service. Mr. Merlyn Fryer, of Exeter, appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Reed appeared for the defendants. Just after Mr. Hunt commenced to give evidence, • consultation took place between Mr. Reed and Mr. Fryer, after which the former gentleman said that he had advised his clients, in order to promote peace in the pariah, to plead guilty, and they were willing to be bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Fryer, on the part of the complainant, consented to this arrange. ment, and the defendants were accordingly bound over to keep the peace for six months, each in their own surety of 101., and another surety in • like sum. Joseph Lang. ford, jun., was next charged with assaulting the Rev. James Hunt and Sophia Cottey, at Nortlimoor-green, on the 24th of March, by riding a donkey spinet them, cud compelling it to kick them. This defendant was also bound over to keep the peace for six months, in one surety (that of his father) of 201. Mary Ann Langford and Mary Grace Stone were next charged with indecently as. smiting Sophia Cottey in Northmoor-green Church en Good Friday. The witnesses for the prosecution were Sophia Cottey, the Rev. James Hunt, and Henry Richards (the sexton), who deposed that after morning prayers the defendants pulled Cottey from her seat near the harmo nium, inside the chancel rails, threw her down, lifted her clothes, and " smacked" her. Afterwards they pushed her outside the church, and threw her down amongst the graves, and then again beat her. Cottey exhibited her arm, which was severely bruised. For the defence • labourer named Samuel Lowe was called, who said the affray commenced by Stone walking up to Cottey, and say ing to her, " If you mean to preach another sermon, Sophia Cottey, speak a little louder," when Cottey took up some portion of rotten egg from the harmonium and threw it in Stone's face. Stone then said to Cottey, " You'd better come out of it," to which she made no reply. The defendant loogford then came up, and took a hairy from Stone's arms, whereupon Cottey milled off Lang ford's bonnet. Shortly afterwards witness saw Cottey 's crinoline catch in the harmonium, and she fell down the altar steps. He swore that neither of the defendants threw her down or struck her. The bench considered the case proved, and fined the defendants 40e. and wets, and the chairman remarked that in any future case of the kind the offenders would be punished by imprisonment. Mr. Hunt said he should charge Lowe with perjury. Samuel Fear and John Fear, two boys, were next charged with ma liciously breaking windows in Northmoor-green Church, but the only witnesses Mr. Hunt brought into court in support of the charge were two little boys, aged respec tively seven and eight years, and the magistrates refused to swear them. This case was, therefore, dismissed. Sophia Cottey wan also summoned for assaulting Mary Grace Stone in Northmoor-green Church on Good Friday, by throwing • rotten egg in her face, but this summons was withdrawn.— Western Deily Press.

There has been a large business doing for shipment to-day, at an advance of id. to Id. per lb. for these yarns gene rally, as compared with the lowest prices taken during the recent panic, and pica closed strong, with an upward ten dency. The Germans, who have been oat el the market for some time, are expreedng themselves somewhat sanguinely here to-day se to hopes of peace, and there Is an expectation that they will be rather tree buyers for some time to come, stocks of yarn on the continent having become very bare. In home trade yarns we have had a quieter feeling than in that for bundles, but • fair busbies' has been done at an advance of about per lb., but any attempt to advance prices in emcee of Id. has been found to arrest operations. The change, however, has produced • good deal better feeling in the market generally. The cloth market of course participates to some extent in the improvement. Buyers who have been holding back their orders have now been anxious to place them at • trilling advance on the rates of Tuesday, and have in most cases been willing to give about 3d. par piece more than on that day. The advance, however, appears to cheek business, and it is believed that the operations hove been far from considerable In the aggregate. In cloth there was a very large business done at the low prevailing up to yesterday, and those who had the ty to supply themselves then of course are the lea disposed to operate now the market is against them. The cause of the sudden rise of prices was a large busi ness in cotton at Liverpool yesterday and to-day— 30,000 bales yesterday and 10,000 to-day—at as advance of warty Id. per lb. Buyers of manufactured goods see no cause for this reaction. There Is no improvement In the demand for goods, and nothing either In politics or our forearm relatious to account for the change. The quantity of cotton l me peat as to place the future wants of the trade beyond a doubt of supply. It is bettered that the change in Liverpool is canoed amply by speculation, which has brought Mayers suddenly into the market to cover sales made last k.

AN Orgrusus PAosLicm.—The Manchester General Omnibus Company are engaged in solving • very luiotty pram —"bow to save &4,000(. • year." They have been recently prosecuting guards for not paying over the receipts from passengers. The prosecutions have not been very ea , but they have brought about con fession' and declarations from employes who have shared in the plunder which have fairly startled them. For in stance, • driver has confessed that for years pest the guards have banded him over to. per day as his share of the embezzled fares. A man on the guards' and drivers' club sick list having had his allowance stopped has written to make a similar confession of past participation in rascality. The manager estimates that 8,000/. a year has thus failed to cinch the bands of the company. At • meeting on Thursday the company divided 10 per mat., but the dividend would have been multilied manyf old but for this system of black mail. Mr. Heyworth, the manager, has invented a simple but ingenious method of giving tickets torn from an endless roll inserted in • re volving ease with progressive numbers, which may do much to check mob frauds if it does not entirely cure the evil.
