The witness controverted the general likely in their hands to prove a new and valuable view about the interest of employers and employed source of national wealth. to work together. lie said—" I scarcely see how that can be while we are in a state of society which recognises the principle of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market. It is their (the masters') interest to get the labour done at as low a rate as they possibly can ; and it is ours to get as high a rate of wages as possible, and you can never reconcile these two things." He allowed that a strike had taken place against a foreman, under whom the men would not work. On the question of foreign work, the witness ex pressed no fear that continental manufactures would ever successfully compete with the English, and he said—" I may just state that trades' societies are being established in France and in Belgium rapidly, and they will have the tendency of raising the w ages, and thereby remove t hat fear of competition that our English friends arc so lunch alarmed about." Mr. Matthews asked—" Do you know anything of wages in France and Belgium, as compared with ' England ?" The Witness—" Our members em ployed in France are getting from £2 to £2 10s. per week. The same class of men in all probability would be getting here Hs. a week." Mr. Matthews —" What do the ordinary French and Belgian work men get? I wish to draw a distinction between the highly skilled workmen, which, I dare say, those are who go out from your society to work in France, and the ordinary skilled workmen in Belgium and France?" Witness—l do not know personally; I only go from hearsay, but I am given to understand that it is from four to six francs per day." Mr. Matthews—" Is it not something like 30 per cent. below the wages of English workmen?" Witness —"lf thy are getting sf. a day it would be, say 4s 2d against some Gs. here." Mr. Matthews—" Assu ming the ordinary rate of wages to be 30 per cent. lower in France and Belgium than in this country, and that workmen improve in France and Belgium as they do here, what is to prevent work going from this country to France andßelgium ?". Witness " I cannot answer that question as to what even tually may turn up, but at the present time I see nothing to apprehend. I believe, in the first place, that the Englishman does as much work in six days as the Frenchman can do in eight. Under the sys tem on which they work there; men being allowed to smoke their cigars while at work and to enjoy themselves in that kind of way, it is impossible for them to do the same quantity of wOrk as they do in England." Mr. Matthews—" Is it not the fact that the manufacture of locomotives and other engines has very much increased in France and Bel gium in the last ten years ?" Witness—"l believe it has. I do not think that France and Belgium will stand still in that respect or in any other. I believe nations will progress, because it is in the nature of things; that they should." The witness also stated +at the society received information as to work going on in different parts, and they used this information for the benefit of the members; and after some other details had been given, the witness's evidence closed. Trades' Unions. The evidence given before the Royal Commission on Trades' Unions, by Mr. Allan, the Secretary of the Society of Amalgamated Engineers, the first part of whose evidence was given in The Sun of yes terday, was resumed before Sir William Erie (chair man), Lord Elcho, M.P., Sir E. W. Head, K.C.8., Sir D. Gooch, M.P., Mr. H. Merivale, C. 8., Mr. J. Booth, C. 8., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. F. Harrison, and Mr. W. Matthews. On this occasion the witness brought certain rules or by-laws to which he had referred in his previous evidence, and which he acknowledged were in effect secret, as they were not issued with the rules, and were kept back, so that the public, that was to say the non-society men, should not know them. These rules imposed fines upon any members doing work by the piece, and refusing to share the surplus over the weekly wages with the members upon the job, that was to say be was forced to share the profits of his skill with the others under the penalty of a fine of 10s. the first time, 20s. the second, and exclusion the third. Members working under a " piecemaster" had to insist upon having a share of such profits, and those who refused to leave such employment on the call of their branch, for not receiving such profits, over and above their wages, subjected themselves to the same penalties. Mr. Matthews said on this—" If a workman, pos sessed of superior intelligence or tact, in organising a contract, divides the proceeds among his fellow men, there is 'no encouragement for him to proceed in that way, is there ?" To this . the witness re plied—" Such a man as that, generally speaking, is rated at a higher rate of wages than the others, and, in addition to his rate of wages, or the sharing the surplus, he generally receives something like 5 or 10 per cent. for his management of the affair." This " something like 5 or 10 per cent.," however, is only given at the option of the other men, and, if they decline to allow it, the skilled manager of the job " must in that case submit" to go without it. The society did not interfere with a man getting more wages than the average, but it assisted men in obtaining a rise—that was to say, a man might complain to his branch that lie had not enough I wages, and if the members thought with him they would sanction his leaving and having the " out-of work" " donation ;" but if a man worked for less than he was thought entitled to, and was willing to continue working for this less sum he stood " a very ~good chance of being excluded" from the society. Mr. Matthews asked —" Even without working at a very reduced rate, if he were working below the recognised rate of working, the same would occur, would it not?" and the witness gave this answer—" We would say, You must leave this shop.' We would suppose a shop to be what we call a 365. shop—that is to say, 365. a week. If a member goes and works there for 325., and is not worth any more, than we say to him, Your better plan will be to leave this shop and go to one where you can only get that—but do not stay here for the purpose of giving encouragement to the employer to reduce the rate to 325.'" • Anothe.rfnof, the by-laws or secret rule s was the one prohibite ti: , m embers from obtaining non-members a j ob w f i ti out first obtaining the sanc tion of the officerso branch, and Mr. Matthews asked—" suyrsdifrng om brother came to him, wo uld he be prohibite a recommending him ?" and the witn andshould say, that he should" (be so prohibited.) On the question of str ikes, increase of wages, .and i i decrease of working ho urs, the witness was eicanune( at very great length. He said the advance n wealth and strength of the society had tended to make strikes in the trade less frequent than they were formerly, and there had been fewer trade disputes, with lock-outs and s trikes, during the last 15 years than during the preceding 15 years. Now, when men had grievances , the y waited upon their em ployers by deputations, and the council of the tha sot - ciety gave advice. He said, " I should say mem b e r s generally are decide dl y opposed to strikes, and that the fact of our having a large accumu- Intel fund tends to encourage that feeling among them. They wish to conserve what they have got, as I have heard it put here, thq,nian who has not got a shilling in his pocket has not much to be afraid of, but with a large ftnad.such as we possess, we are led to be exceedingAiiisreful not to expend it wastefully, and we Believe that all strikes are a complete waste of money, not only in relation to the workmen, but also to the employers." The society, he said, have recommended that no strikes should take place in 20 cases in as many months in this trade. Wages had fluctuated little during the last 10 or 12 years, but during the last year there has been an upward tendency. The society had cer tainly not maintained more than six strikes during the last 10 years directly for the purpose of raising wages. The strikes which occurred had principally arisen "frown piece-ivork and the large numb er of boys STATE OF TRADE. ) BELFAST, April 16.—Flax.—The different mar kets of Ulster have, during the past week, been very moderately supplied, which is owing to the fact that farmers are very busily engaged in sowing ope rations.

Volunteer Review at Dover. The following notification was issued yesterday " On Easter Sunday there will be Divine service at 9.30 a.m. at Dover Castle, specially for Volun teers. Volunteers who may wish to attend this service will parade at 1.30 a.m. near the Lord Warden Hotel, or at 8 45 a.m. on the Market-place, from whence they will be marched to the Castle under the command of the senior officer. The band of the Civil Service Rifle Volunteer Corps will attend the parade at the Lord Warden Hotel. "GEORGE ERSKINE, Colonel. " War-office, April 17." It appears from the official figures that the total number of applications to attend the Easter Monday Voluntel. review at Dover is 23,600, of which nutn'vr 16,018 are front the metropolis, and the re-t from the country corps., Tl,is number exceeds that of last year by about 2,600, and when the 2,200 infantry and 2,000 ca-, valry from the regular army are addel it will be seen that there are materials for a splendid military display. The various corps who start from Lon4on will have to be up betimes. The trains are ordered to start at from 4.50 a.m. to 6.40 a.m., and during those two hours about 10,000 men will leave London, and are expected to arrive at Dover and be at their rendezvous by 9 a.m. The whole of the front of the Espl auade, Waterloo-crescent, Camden-crescent, and the Marine-parade will be occupied by the Volum. teers, and they will be formed into brigades and divisions. The Volunteers will pile arms, and be dismissed as soon as they arrive at the rendezvous of their respective brigades, to enable them. to get breakfast, but at 11 o'clock, on the fire of a single' gun, the troops will march off to the battlefield. But all will depend upon the railway arrangements: If the prOmises of the company be kept—and we_ feel assured they will do all they can to keep faith with Colonel Erskine—all the volunteers will arrive in ample , time to get breakfast or some refreshment before they march off to the " massing" ground. The South-Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover Companies are laying special lines of rails for the purpose of facilitating the ingress and egress of volunteer trains, so that the main lines may be left quite free. The South-Eastern Railway are erecting extra signal stations between Tunbridge and Dover, as a double precaution to secure the safety of the traffic. The rifle shooting prize meeting will be at Folke stone on Saturday, and special trains have been orga. raised for the passage between Dover and Folkestone. As several erroneous statements have appeared with respect to the privilege of inspecting Dover Castle, we have permission to publish the following official extract from garrison orders : " Dover, April 15, 1867. " The whole of the fortifications of Dover are to be open to the public, with the fewest possible re strictions, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., from Thursday, the 18th, to Tuesday, the 23d inst., both days inclusive, with the exception of Monday, the 22d, on which day the military operations in connection with the volunteer review will render it necessary that the public should be excluded. No person whatever, officers in uniform and the resi dents of the castle excepted., are to be. admitted to the castle on Monday, the 22d inst., without a pass signed by the colonel commanding Royal Artillery, or accompanied, by an officer of the Royal Artillery residing at the castle. Admission to the Castle-hill Fort on Easter Monday will be regulated by the colonel commanding Royal Engineers and by the volunteer committee. " By order. (Signed) " G. R. GREAVES, " Lieutenant -Colonel B. Major." The Right lion. Sir John Pakington, the Secre tary of State for War, and party will witness the grand review from the Castle-hill Fort, in the centre of which, at the flagstaff, and in line with and over looking the saluting point, an elevated platform will be constructed. We understand that Earl Granville, K.G., the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, will view the marching past and subsequent review operations from the top of the right casement of the Castle hill Fort, which will be fitted up for his lordship and party. The Royal Engineers have selected a portion of the Castle-hill Fort for the officers of that corps and their immediate friends, and the War Department, with the sanction of the Commander-in -Chief, have: allowed most eligible positions, right and left of the flagstaff and saluting point to the extension com mittee for the accommodation of distinguished visi tors. The committee are erecting commodious tiers of seats on the ramparts, and will issue about 600 first-class tickets for them. We believe that our gallant member, Major Dick son, has the authority of the First Lord of the Ad miralty, the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, for saying that five vessels of war have already received orders to rendezvous at Dover on Easter Monday, and they are the Vesuvius, paddlewheel sloop, and the Lizard, Magnet, Ferret, and Martin. This squadron will doubtless be led by a large frigate or an iron ' clad, and will be under the command. of a flag officer.—Dover Chronicle. -=-- Volcanic Eruption in the South Seas. The Rev. Dr. Turner, a missionary, in a letter dated Samoa, or Navigator's Islands, South Pacific, Nov. 29, 1866, says :—" On the 7th of September last the natives of Tau and Osolenga were surprised , by an unusual succession of earthquakes—there would be three and four in the course of an hour.' During the night of the 91 there were in all 39 shocks. There was only a slight tremulous motion, brit its continuance, together with an unusual sub terranean ' groaning,' as the natives called it, alarmed everybody. They knew nothing of volcanic action in the group from personal experience or the traditions of their ancestors. Their islands, how ever, are all volcanic. On the 12th of September, a little after noon, a commotion was observed in the deep blue sea, about a mile and a half from 010- senga, and three and a half from Tau. It appeared like surf breaking over a sunken rock. Some thought it might be a whale blowing, and others that it was a shoal of bonito. This unusual com motion continued all day, and by the following morning at daylight volcanic action was unmistak able. At first the eruptions were at intervals of about an hour. They went on increasing for two days, and on the 15th they were 50 in the hour. For 3 days longer there was one continued succession of out bursts. The natives gazed in amazement at the great jets of mud and dense columns of other volanic matter rising in terrific grandeur 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. These again branched out into clouds of dust blackening the sky, and covering up Olosenga from the sight of the people on Tau. The roar of the eruptions, and the collision and crash of the masses of rock,;met in their d ow nward c ourse from the clouds by others fl y in g up, were fearful. Quantities of fused obsidian, too, threw off the most lovely fragments, crystal sunshine like thousands of pendants from a gasalier. No flame appeared, and . only once tt or which shone and sparkled, in the twice was there a gleam of fire seen i t n th , Y basin ' thrown up. e to ) r l ( c •, a and o and boiled and bubbled furiously in . great half a Mile in diameter.

From the vague and conflicting descriptions which have appeared in the press in relation to the terri tory on the North American continent recently ceded by the Russian Government to the United States for a pecuniary consideration, it is quite obvious that few persons in England have any distinct know ledge of the extent and value of that immense re gion. The people of America, however, we do not doubt, are better informed on the subject, and have not concluded their bargain with the Russian Go vernment merely from an ambitious desire to enlarge their territories, but with a view of turning to pro- citable account, in a variety of ways, their new acquisition. Just as in the early part of the century they coveted and at length obtained possession of Louisiana and the Floridas, and with those countries an outlet by way of the Mississippi for the vast and increasing produce of the Western States, and in more recent times wrested from Mexico the valu- able gold fields of California ; so we believe at the present time the Americans, in purchasing at almost a nominal price the region hitherto known as Rus sian America, have been actuated principally•by the desire to open out a new source of wealth to the great Republic. We have as yet had nothing like an accurate description of Russian America, or of its varied resources. With a coast upon the Pacific of some 1,500 miles in length, indented by nume rous sounds and capacious harbours, and studded with many large islands of considerable resources, it extends back; f9r about 1,000 miles of that coast, to a distance of 900 miles, and for the remaining 500 miles of coast to 30 miles, the latter being the por tion in front of British Columbia, which it cuts off from the Pacific; while the peninsula of Alaska, about 59 miles in breadth, stretches out into the Pacific for upwards of 300 miles ; the whole terri tory comprising an area of—not between 300 and 400, as stated in recent descriptions —but 900,000 miles. It is thus about 16 times the size of En g land. It contains many mountain ranges of great height, and fine valleys, magnificently water ed and fer tilised by lakes and rivers ; the mountain ranges in the upper and broader portion of the territory having a transverse direction, and therefore shelter ' ing the valleys from northerly winds, which in that quarter are cold winds in summer, while in winter they invariably cause a rise in the thermometer. A great portion of this vast region is covered with forests of the largest and most valuable trees. In speaking of the resources .of Rus-ian America, Sir John Richardson, in his work upon " The Arctic Searching Expedition,"quotes Bongard, with regard to one portion of it, who says that " the bill of Westerwoi," near Norfolk Sound, in lat. 58 deg., which is 3,000 ft., French measure, in height, is clothed to its summit by a dense forest of spruce and pines, some of which acquire a circumference of 2lft., and a length of 160 ft. Sir John Richardson adds--" The climate of Sitka," the name of the bay as well as of the island upon which is situated New Archangel, the chief post of the Russian company, lying in 57 deg: N. latitude, " is very much milder than that of Europe on the same parallel, the cold of winter being neither severe nor of long continu ance: The harbour at Sitka, and several other fine harbours in the neighbourhood, are open during the whOle winter ; tints; flowing an extraordinary con trast to the' opposite -coasts of Asia, which are • ice bound for three 'parts . of the year." Sir George Simpson, in his "Travels Bound the World," re- marks:— • "Although at some points Bebeng i s St raits are only 45 miles wide, in the general appearance at the two coasts there is a marked difference, the western side bein g low, flat, and sterile, while the eastern is well wooded, and in every respect better adapted than the other for the suste nance both of man and beast. Moreover, the soil and climate improve rapidly on the American shore, as one de scends, and at Cook's Inlet (in GO deg. N. lat.) potatoes may be raised with ease, though they hardly ripen in any part of Kamtschatka, which extends nearly 10 deg. farther south. As, in addition to the advantages of cultivation, deer, fish, game, and hay are abundant, the Russian Fur Compaoy contemplates the formation of a settlement there for the reception of its own servants." Of the many large rivers which flow through Russian America none of them have been ex plored to their sources; but the Colville, the Stikine., the Youkon or Kwichpack, and the Kuskokwin, are supposed to run a course of up wards of 1,000 miles, and to be navigable for con siderable distances. The Colville is two miles wide at its mouth in the Arctic Sea. The Stikine enters the Pacific in 56 deg. 50 sec. N. latitude, where it 'is three miles wide, and at a distance of 30 miles from the sea has a width of one mile ; but its source is in the British territory. The Youkon or Kwich pack rises to the west of the Rocky. MountainS, not far from the union of the Francis and Lewis, which form the Pelly ; flows first to the north, and, after receiving a large tributary named the Porcupine, to the westward, falls into Behring's Sea. In 66 deg. N. latitude, and 1471 deg. W. longitude, which is about 1,000 miles from its mouth, it is, according to Sir John RiOartlson, one mile and a quarter wide. s oma idi si eof the value of the fur trade of the region inaj .

Of Sitka, or New .Alkhangel, the capital of Russian America, Sir Edward Belcher says : " The establishment of Sitka is situated on a flat, broad" delta, on the outer rocky peninsula, of which the fortress stands. It is about 60 feet above the sea level, and obiu pletely commands all the anchorages in the immediate, neighbourhood, as well as the peninsula.
