TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. lURIS, Aram 24. The Ekiulard of this evening announces that in consequence of the absence of Count Bismarck from Berlin, the identical notes of England, Russia, and Austria on the Luxemburg question have not yet been delivered to the Prussian govern ment. BERLIN. APRIL 24, EVENING. All the rumours which have been current of the mobilization of Prussian troops, as well as a report that the artillery has been ordered on a war footing, are authentically and emphatically denied. The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this evening says :—" The announcements in some newspapers of military measures alleged to have been adopted in Prussia, in connection with the Luxemburg question, are totally unfounded. Notwithstanding the intelligence of military pre parations which are being made in France, appa rently in connection with the Luxemburg ques tion, the Prussian government has not up to the present found itself under the necessity of taking steps which might stand in contradiction with the hopes of preserving friendly relations with France." Thu semi-official North German Gazette of this evening says : " The mediatory proposals with re gard to the Luxemburg question are not yet known, and cannot therefore be discussed ; but so much is certain, that Prussia has given up neither her right of garrisoning the fortress of Luxemburg in favour of Luxemburg's union with Belgium, nor the i treaties with Holland which regulate the actual position of that Grand Duchy." PRUSSLt. BERLIN, APRIL 24. The King of the Belgians and the Count of Flanders arrived here yesterday evening, and were received at the railway station by the King, the royal'princes, and the princes of the Hohenzollern family.

On Tuesday afternoon the inquest on the human remains found in the old bed of the River Coins was resumed. It may be remembered that the clothes, together with certain documents, found with the fragments of the body, showed that the remains were those of Mr. R. Worswick, railway contractor, who disappeared some twelve months ago. Several heavy plows of iron, and pieces of wire, which appear to have been attached to the body, were produced, as well as the following papers found in the bottom of a ragged carpet-bag, raked out from the water with the re mains :—A cheque for 491. la. ltd., drawn upon the bank of Messrs. Bacon, Cobbold, and C., of Ipswich, signed " R. Wonwick," and dated Jan. 25, 1861 ; an invoice made out by Messrs. Ransoms and Sims against Mr. Worswick for 411. Is. 111. ; several bills and receipts, and other papers. Evidence was given to show that on the last time deceased was seen alive he appeared to be is his ordinary health and spirits. Mr. John Worswiok was then called and said—l am now living at 8, Shrewsbury-road, Westbourne-park, Bays water. Deceased was my father, and was 59 or 60 years of age. I was in partnership with him as a railroad contrac tor, and we contracted for the making of the line from St. Botolph's-street to East Gate and the Hytbe. That work was in progress in November, 1865, and my father was fre quently backwards and forwards on the line. On the evening of the 21st or 22nd of November, 1865, I last saw him at his residence in Magdalen-street. He then told me he was going to Leicester to see a brother. He had a bro ther at Leicester. He told me this at night, just as be was going to bed. The witness then, in reply to the coroner, entered into a statement of the business affairs , ' of his father, so far as he was acquainted with them, and said he knew of nothing which would have been likely to ; induce the deceased to commit suicide. In reply to the foreman, the witness said his father might have had sonic money about him which he (witness) did not know of. He also said lie ascertained afterwards that his father spent two days at the Crown Hotel, St. Martin's-court, Lewes ' ter.equare, in London, after he left Colchester, after which he never heard of him. He (witness) went to the Crown Hotel and made inquirin, but did not ask whether his father cashed any cheque. He paid his bill and sent it to witness on the Monday, which led to his going to the Crown Hotel (where his father was well known) and making inquiries. The jury returned an open verdict of " Found drowned." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. Yesterday serious and fatal accident occurred on the Midland Railway, near Normanton, a well-known junction in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It appeared that the Liverpool, Manchester, and London express was passing Metbley at the usual speed, when the engine suddenly left the rails, and pitching into some waggons by the main line side, turned over on its aide, killing the driver, and, it is feared, mortally wounding the fireman. The train consisted of engine and tender, two ilnit-class car riages, two second ditto, and two vans, the whole contain ing a large number of passengers. The latter were very much bruised and shaken by the violence of the accident, but so far as the medical men had examined the passengers up to the time of the despatch of our parcel, no bones had been broken. The driver was an old experienced hand, and being on the Midland Railway had no connection with the strike. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1867. THE RIVAL FRANCHISES. TO THE IDITOR Of Till =PRIEM SIR ' —While various liberal members of parlia ment have, in or out of the house, defended or explained the votes they gave for or against Mr. Gladstone's amendment I have not seen any state ment of the reasons which weigh with a very large I section of the liberal party out of doors in making them on the whole approve of the rejection of I that proposal. As these have an important bearing I on the policy still to be pursued, I ask your leave to set them forth in the briefest possible exposition. It need not be remarked that the whole body of the liberal party is at one in respect to the objec tionable nature of Mr. Disraeli's restriction to per- sonal rating. Of the abstract principle, then, I expressed in Mr. Gladstone's amendment, they are agreed in approval. But that amendment, though technically moved by itself, was, in its author mind and avowed intention, only part of a larger scheme. Had that first clause been carried and acquiesced in by government, it was to have been fol lowed by other amendments, which are in sub stance identical as regards restriction of the fran chise (except in the matter of two years' residence) with those which now ~stand in Lord Grosvenor's name. By these there would have been esta blished a uniform 51. rating franchise, and the fixity of that limitation would have been secured by prohibiting any occupier at lower rental from being either rated or registered. Now had the first part of the amendment been carried, the result would have been to set up for a moment in discriminate household suffrage, but as neither Tories nor Whigs would have allowed that to re main, both would have next united in favour of Mr. Gladstone's restrictions, and hence the restric tion to a Si. rating franchise, fixed and permanent, would have been the inevitable result. But such a franchise is peculiarly dis tasteful to many liberals. They object to any permanent line being drawn, such as shall prevent modification as the country ad vances. They particularly object to the attempt to make the line permanent by holding out a pecu niary motive to the unenfranchised to remain con tent with exclusion. They utterly dislike the idea of saying to the working classes, Avoid the fran chise, for if you seek it you will not only have to pay higher rent, but also parish rates. " ' They think such a system would be a far more severe " fine" placed on enfranchisement than any Mr. Disraeli proposes. They fail, moreover, to see why a man who pays imperial taxes should be debarred from imperial pnvileges merely because he is, for convenience of the parish, exempted from its humble local burdens. These, and many other reasons, lead them to the conclusion that Mr. Glad stone's scheme. as a whole, was objectionable. And as the effect of carrying that first clause of his scheme ' which was laudable would have been to have made absolutely certain the passing of those latter clauses which were fatally unsound, they ap prove the rejection which obviated that danger. But government had already announced that it would not have accepted even the first clause. Hence, if it had been carried the bill would have been lost. There must have been a now agitation, with every point still indefinite, and no principle established. Granting that there must, if the bill passes, be still agitation to obtain :he repeal of its objectionable features, the liberals of whom I speak believe an agitation with that object will be confined to simpler issues, and will obtain an easier success, than an agitation for a new Reform Bill from the beginning, with the Whip in power, and the Tories in opposition, and no statesman pledged to anything in particular. But a dissolution might not have given the Whip • majority. Whatever the leaders of parties may say, it is firmly fixed in the minds of the people that the tories are ready to concede the principle of household suffrage. With the principle ,con ceded, they trust to themselves to achieve the details. 'Hence in many liberal constituencies a supporter of the Derby government would have beaten a follower of Mr. Gladstone. But if thus a Tory majority had been returned, should we have had any reform bill 1 That may be doubted, and wo think it was best not to risk the experiment of a dissolution with such a possible issue. . . • . On the whole t hen we conceive it best to secure from the tones all that can be got this year, so that next year our task shall be lighter than if we had to start with nothing at all. Let us have the two year residents enfranchised; it is better to have them alone than to have none. Let us have the 120,000 now voters Mr. Disraeli gives positively, and the 400,000 more he gives potentially, we shall in a year or two obtain them all on equal terms. Nor is it fair to charge us with want of party faith in thus arguing and acting. Certain rights which we conceive we are entitled to are denied us. Our opponents offer them in .. part, and they admit our title to the whole. Our old friends offer them in larger part, but only on condition of our entering on a prolonged struggle, and with out admission of our ultimate title to the rest. Where is the breach of faith in accepting our bare due from the party which we conceive offers it most favourably ?—I am, &c., J. B. K. April 22. LORD F. CAVENDISH, M.P., AND THE RZFORX QuinrrioN.—A letter has been received by Mr. Alderman Carter from Lord F. Cavendish, one of the representatives for the Northern Division of the West Riding, in which, after referring to his vote in favour of Mr. Gladstone's amendment, he says:—" I never gave a vote with less hesitation. I believe that not only is the government bill wrong in requiring the personal payment of rates, but that it is based on an unsound principle in connecting the franchise with the payment of rates in any manner what soever. The working of that principle is clearly shown in the electoral returns presented to parliament, by the pro portion of the number of burgesses to the number of male occupiers in the various municipal boroughs. I was sur prised to hear from many county members the argument that there was no injustice caused by thew in equalities, as suay householder might place himself on the register by claiming to be rated ; for county members must be well aware, that even with they present high county qualifications, few, if any, county voters ever place them selves on the register, but are, as a general rule, so placed through the means and at the expense of the party registration associations. Had Mr. Gladstone'' first amendment been carried, I should also have voted for the 5L rating franchise; but I accept the decision of the house against what is now called ' the hard and fast line,' and look with confidence to the good sense and moderation of the great proportion of the new electors to obviate the inconvenience which might arise from the ignorance and dependence of the lowest class of householders. I would, however, if practicable, make it a condition that all votes should be given in writing at the polling booth, so as to exclude from voting all who are totally uneducated." In conclusion, be expresses his confidence in Mr. Gladstone, and his earnest hope that all reformers throughout the country will unite to strengthen his (Mr. Gladstone's) hands, and enable him to ript with due effect as leader of the liberal party, for the hood of the cause, and the true interests of the country. PROPOSED Reroasi MERVIN° IN HYDE-PARK.— Last night a meeting of delegates from trade, friendly, temperance, and other societies, and branches of the Re form League, was held in Sussex hall, Bouverie-street, to consider the present position of the reform question. There was a large attendance of delegates. Mr. Beale', who was in the chair, referred to the recent demon strations at Birmingham and Leeds, which he said showed that an agitation had been commenced, or rather renewed, of the most vigorous and earnest description, against the so-called Government Reform Bill. Attempts had been made in sonic of the news papers to depreciate these demonstrations, but nothing could be more absurd than to say that they were not characterised by great earnestness and by great unanimity. As a resolution had been unaniniously conic to to hold • meeting in Hyde-park on the fith of May, be called upon the members of the League to make that demonstration worthy of the metropolis. It was looked forward towitb the greatest interest by the people in the provinces, and if anything of an unsatisfactory nature occurred it would not be the fault of the people, who would go to the park merely to express their feelings on this moat important question. Mr. Howell (secretary to the League) moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Robertson Gladstone, for having ad vocated in a speech recently made by him the principle of manhood suffrage and the ballot. A long discussion on the Hyde-park meeting ensued, in which the feeling generally expressed was to hold it at any risk, the impression being that the government would not interfere with it. *parting , Intelligence.

The feature of the Derby betting was the support awarded to Vauban, Dragnn, and Her mit the Two Thousand winner befog backed at 1000 to 300, Hernial coming In for • big het of 11000 to 1000, while the French representative wee 1 , 00 much in demand at 8 to 1, that 7 to I be came his ultimate price.

Passing Ly the Brat race, therefore, we come upon D'Estournel as the easy winner of the Plate of 100 son.

That pert of the embank ment on which it occurred is under the contract of Mr. Ithaca, and is covered with sheds containing horses, the workmen's tools, and a variety of mechanical appliances of great value. It was in one of these sheds that the fire was first seen. In a few minutes after it was discovered the flames shot out in all directions, and as the workmen had left for the night, and there was much difficulty in getting the gates opened, the fire raged for some time uncon trolled. At this time fears were entertained that some of the adjacent wharves would take fire, and as Mr. Macey's wharf is filled with timber, and ethers an very old, there was an intense amount of excitement amongst the inha bitants of the district. Their anxiety was lightened by the arrival of three or four engines, the firemen of which very soon obtained access to the sheds, and com menced their operations. For some time they appeared to make little impresion on the Raines ; but after working vigorously for half an hour, and having received assistance from other firemen, who had arrived meanwhile, it was seen that there need be no further apprehension. Before 9 o'clock the fire was completely extinguished. From what cause it arose no one of COWS° at present knows. CRYSTAL. PALACE.

[STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.) ifluotr. NEW PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY, ST. GEORGE'S. HALL. A conversazione was given last night by the Pre sident (Professor Wylde) and the Council of the New Philharmonic Society to inaugurate the opening of the new Hall, in which the concerts of the society will hence forth be given. The room, which is only just completed, is an adaptation of the site formerly occupied by the large carriage manufactory adjoining the German Bazaar. The dimensions of the hall are about 50 feet in width, 110 in length, and 45 in height, and the sumber which it is ca pable of containing is estimated at from 1400 to 1,500. There are three entrances—one from Lang ham-place, Regent-street ; one from Mortimer-street, sod the other (for the orchestra) from Great Portland-street A balcony runs along two sides and one end of the room ; but as it contains but two rows of seats, the projection is not so great as to cause that obstruction to sound which generally arises from large galleries. The room I thoroughly lighted by three large sunlights, which also serve to create • ventilating current; further ventilation being obtained by means of • perforated frieze communi cating with the lanterns of the roof ; • series of double windows admitting air without draft. The roof, of an elliptical form, and composed entirely of wood, appears to be highly favourable for sound, and the plentiful use of colour in the decorations gives a bright and pleasant aspect to the room. Ample provision seems to have been made for exit and entrance, and there are no steps to ascend or descend tot those who occupy the area. Indeed everything relating to acoustical requirements, and the comfort of visitors, seems to have been maturely con sidered by the architect, Mr. John Taylor, of Whitehall ; and the result is likely to furnish an excellent concert room, large enough to contain a remunerative audience, and not too large for the delicacies and refinements of the best orchestral playing. The proceedings of last night commenced with a short poetical address, written by Mr. H. T. Braithwaite, and read by Mrs. Stirling— , after which there were various vocal performances by ildlle. Poellnitz, Miss Abbott, and Herr Reichardt ; some clever pianoforte playing by the brothers Willi and Louis There (from Perth), and Miss Madeline Schiller ; besides • trio for three violoncellos, by blears. Chipp, Ould, and Paque; and other pieces. There was also an exhibition of portraits, water-oolour drawings, and other works of art, and the viola (tenor violin) formerly belonging to Mozart. The ball was very full, and the general opinion seemed to be highly favourable as to its successful adaptation to its purpose. Of this however we shall be better able to judge after hearing the effect of the orchestra at the first concert of the New Philharmonic Society on Wednesday next. Mdlle. Christine Nillaon, the charming Swedish prima donna, of the Theatre Lyrique, whom we may shortly hope to Les and to hear at Her Majesty's Theatre, is engaged at the Grand Opera, in Paris, for next winter season, to take the part of Ophelia, in a new opera founded on the Hamlet of Shakspeare, by U. aminoise Thomas. LONDON INSTITUTION.—The annual meeting of 1 this society for the advancement of literature and the diffusion of useful knowledge, was held yesterday in the theatre of the institution, Finsbury-circus ; Mr. G. Rib bort in the chair. The annual report was . presented, ap pended to which was a list of the lectures given during the past year, the majority being of a very valuable scientific character, Amongst the lecturers were Professor Her schel, ProfesiorAneted, Dr. Beke, the Abyssinian traveller; the Rev. Dr. Maurice Davies, Mr. G. A. Mscfarren, Pro fessor Pole, Professor Westwood, Professor Bentley, and Professor Wanklyn. During the brief discussion upon the proposal to adopt the report, some desire was expressed to popularise the institution. One gentleman thought the lectures had been dry, and that it would be well to substitute Bellew for Profaner Owen— s suggestion that appeared to thus, no little amusement. A second shareholder considered it would be highly beneficial if the circulating library con tained a little mine " ladles' literature. Mr. Adams thought that two lectures on " How the commerce of the country will be affected by national education," which Professor Fawcett has promised to deliver in May, were of a somewhat speculative character. The report was unani mously received. A motion was then proposed of "esteem and goodwill " towiu-ds Mr. Pile, M.P., who has retired from the hon. secretaryship, and has been appointed a vice-president. Several speeches of • highly eulogistic character were made respecting the service, Mr. Tine lee rendered to the institution during the past thirty-seven years, and • general opinion was expp ssed that they should be more substantially recognised. The matter was left in the bands of the manegen to report upon on some future occasion. A vote of thanks to the chairman and board concluded theiproeeedings. THE THAMES CHURCH MISSION. —The annual general meeting of the members and friers& of this society was held yesterday afternoon at Willis's Rooms, Lord Henry Cholmondeley in the chair, supported by the Hon. Captain Maude, Captain Chapman, Ike. Captain Littlehales, R.N., read the report, which stated that the present sta ff of officer* consisted of a chaplain, an as sistant chaplain three missionaries , the master of the Swan, who is also a Scripture reader, a colporteur to foreign ships, and six sailors, engaged in the col of Bibles, Testaments, and the distribution of tracts. Two missionaries and a seaman colporteur are constantly em ployed in visiting the vessels in the pools below London bridge, and from time to time the shipping in the Surrey Commercial, East and West India, and Victoria Docks. The Swan Thames Church ship for Divine worship had been recently pieced in complete repair. It. position war chiefly off Charlton : where the chaplain is heat ena bled to hold divine service among the sailing and threw colliers which generally occupied that section. Divine scr.. vice is also held by the chaplain as often as he is able on board the Worcester, training ship for cadets in the mer chant navy, as well as in the reformatory frigate Corn wall. During the last year 9,530 ships bad been vieited, 48,894 tracts had been distributed, and 642 prayer sa d hymn.books, and 1,200 Bibles and Testaments sold. There had been 14,070 attendances at services. On the motion of the Rey. W. Conway Canon of Westminster, se conded by the Rev. W. Holdernees, the ma; et was adopted. The Rev. C. It. de Havilland and other gentle men afterwards addressed the meeting, and a subscription was entered into in behalf of the society.

The entries in all classes were exceedingly numerous, and although the gnat proportion of animals were not superior to those of former years, some of the prize-takers were distinguished by exceptional excellence. In the class of breeding cattle the Townley, or Iri,th Farmer's Gazette Plate, value 155 f., was awarded to Mr. Richard Cheloner, Kingsfort, Moynalty, for Sovereign, a short-horned roan bull, calved July 2, 1866 • and the Irish Railway Challenge Cup, value I W., to Mr .: Edward J. Smith, of Islandniore, Crown, for Meter, short-horned roan bull, calved April 11, 1865. The show of sheep was rather small, but the animals were well-bred, and showed an increasing desire on the part of some of our leading stock-owners to obtain the best breeds procurihle. The pigs were also limited in number, but were, on the whole, remarkably good. The exhibition of implements was exceedingly large, and included all the latest adapta tions of scientific discoveries to the purposes of agriculture. The attendance was numerous.—Dublia liapeau.

Yesterday Dr. Davis, the Birmingham borough coroner, held the adjourned inquest, at the Dog and Par. tridge Inn, Ashated-row, Birmingham, on the body of Mr. John Ptyve, who was shot dead m the counting-house of the firm of Messrs. Pryse, on the 6th inst., by the cashier, James Scott lt will be remembered that the inquest had been adjourned in order to enable Scott to recover from the blow he received in the struggle for the possession of the revolver after he had wounded Mr. Pryse. Scott was brought before the coroner in the custody of the police. He is quite a young ULM , being only Yl years of age. He is of black hair . r rathe prepossessing appearance, has dark eyes and Mr. Charles Pryse said that on the 6th April hie partner and he bad some private convehation regarding Scott, who had been found t o b e a d e f au l ter. Scott admitted that he was a defaulter to the extent of Cd., but after wards it transpired that he was a &flushes to a larger amount He was then ordered to leave the room, and Mr. Redman and 'Anima soon after heard two shots. He imagined Scott was shooting himself, and he ran out, when going into Scott's room another shot was heard. Witness continued—When I entered the room I saw Scott have hold of my brother's coat with his left hind. In his right hand extended he held a revolver pointed at the lower part of the left aide of the deceased. I then rushed towards the prisoner and seized the pistol which the prisoner held in his band. Mr. Red man also seised Soott, and we had a struggle for the pistoL The prisoner all the time tried to turn the pistol in the direction of my body. We retteated from the room struggling. Ultlaritely I got the phial, and as Scott seemed to mean further mischief, I grasped the pistol in my hand and struck him twice on the head. He then appeared is me to sit down deliberately. He shook his herd as if to let the blood trickle down from his hair. A surgeon was then sent for, but he said nothing could be done, as deceased was dying, and in about eight jodnutes after the first shot was fired my brother was a corpse. I forgot to mention that in the struggle the revolver was dis charged, the ball passing through my left hand. The ball was discharged by Scott, and I mu convinced that be in tended to shoot me, as all the time of the struggle he pointed or tried to point the pistol at my body. Scott was then given in charge of the police, and be was taken to the General Hospital. - - The next witness was Mr. Redman, who gave corro borative evidence, but the inquest had not term Lusted when this parcel left THE STRIKE ON . THE _NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday, George Scott, Isaac L'igg, Robert Oockburn, Joseph Smith, John Haney, and John Mason, engine drivers, appeared at Carlisle is answer to sum• monies charging them with leaving their work as engine driven on the Newcastle and Carlisle section of the North Eastern Railway, without giving a month's notice, as re quired of them by an agreement which they had signed. Mr. Newton (for the company) said the men who were summoned had left their employment without a moment's warning, some of them while on their engines, with the steam up ready to go out. This was part of a concerted action which took place all over the North Eastern system, and engine drivers of the company in other parts of the country had been summoned before the magistrates, and in many cases convicted. Respecting the case,' now under consideration, however, be had last night received a letter from the authorities of the company with the following instructions :—" If necessary you should kindly explain to the Magistrates that as the illegality of the men's proceed ings has Wee fully established by the decision of the magistrates in other places, and as the railway is now nearly at full work again, the directors have no wish to act in any other than the most lenient manner towards the meat in fault ; more especially as the met of them will be seven sufferers through the loss of their employment, and that no doubt many of those who acted as they did were instigated to take so unwarrantable a course by the leaden of the unfortunate combination." Under these circumstances the company did not wish to press for con victions ; and indeed he believed that in two of the cases the men had made applications to be restored to their employment,and one or both of them had beep re-engaged. If the bench thought proper, therefore, he should allow the proceedings to drop. The summonses were withdrawn. At the °MAW petty sessions on Tuesday, William Gladden, passenger engine driver, was summoned for leaving his work without notice on the 11th Mr. Steavenson, of Darlington, appeared for the prosecu ton (the Shildon Works Company) ; and Mr. Webster, of Darlington defended. Objection having been taken to the way in which the summons was granted the case was dis missed, but a fresh summons was taken out at once, and the matter was proceeded with. Mr. Steavenson, at con siderable length, opened the case. He stated that the de fendant was an old servant of the Shiblon Works Company. and made good wages. His earnings for Lot year, ending March, amounted to 1701. 13s. tid., and during the twelve month, he bad only worked 306 days. On the 11th inst. he had left his work without giving notice, and he should have given a month's notice. The railway company been put to very great inconvenience railway the strike amongst the en:line driven. but they were now in as posi tion to run nearly all the ordinary trains. Evidence hav- ing been adduced in support of these statements, Mr. Webster, for the defence, contended that the defendant had left his work in a legal way, there being no contract, that he was not an artilicer, and did not come within the meaning of the act of parliament ; that the Shildon Works Company were merely agents, and that as there were no rules about notice, be could not have violated them. The bench retired, and after an absence of about eight minutes returned into court. The chairman (Mr. Moorhead) said :—We convict and abate the whole of the wages of the defendant. We do not imprison, and will grant a case, as desired by Mr. Webster, en the ground that the defendant does not come within its meaning of the act. Mr. Steaveuson said there was tismaimons out against an englneinau who was to be tried at Aliddleabro' on Friday, but Mr. Douch had requested him to say that the Shildon Works Company were not proceeding with these cases from any vindictive feeling, and as they had obtained convictions showing that the :wen had acted wrongfully the case against the enginewsu alluded to would be withdrawn. THE TAILORS' STRIKE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ZIPED4II. Sza,—To set the public right with regard to the disputes now pending between the masters and men, we beg to state that to-day we offered las we have dune on several previous occasions) to give to our journeymen 2/. 2s. per week each, on condition that they worked twelve hours per day, coming at six o'clock in the morning, and dating at seven o'clock iu the evening, allowing one hour during the day for refreshment. This offer was unanimously refused, and the men all struck work. It meat be remembered that tho public are greatly interested in the masters resisting any exerlAumt demands by the men, as if increased wages are given it will tend to increase the prices of articles sold.—Wu are, &c., WALKER A.% LAIIKE. JB, ftsekville-street, Piccadilly, April 24. THE TAILORS' STRine.—The state of affairs in reference to the above strike bad changed but little yester. day from the position they were in on Tuesday, but that little the men consider to be in their favour. The ex planatory letter sent by the committee to the masters on Tuesday, stating their willingness yet to meet the masters at the council board to settle the dispute in an amicable manner, with the aid of arbitrators, has created a very favourable impression amongst a largd body of the em ployers, several of whom yesterday expressed their desire to come to terms with their men, some going so far as to state their willingness to accept the log of the men. On this latter point, however, the committee require the signature of the employer before they allow any of his men to resume work, to prevent any mistake hereafter from pressure from the other employers to induce the withdrawal of a verbal promise. The resolution come to on Tuesday evening by the out-door workers, nut to take out any work from the shops on strike, has been • great blow to the larger employee, who have heretofore depended upon this portion of the labour market to enable them to meet any dispute with their regular men. On the other hand, a large body of the employers oonnected with the Masters' Association publicly express their determina tion to resist to the uttermost the claims of the men, and have called • general meeting of the masters at the Hanover-square Booms for Saturday next, to concert the best means of resistance. The men, however, express confidence that the strike will be virtually Reified in their favour by that time. Letters were yesterday received by the committee from the Paris tailors' committee, stating that the strike there was progressing very favourably for the men, funds being plentiful. They ray the men of London need be under no apprehension of foreign workmen coming over. _ . ----- ADMIRALTY, APRIL 24.—Apvo1NTmtxrs.—Liell tenants, F. C. W. I.iardct, to the Implacable : C. J.
