The journalist, after pronouncing a glowing eulogium on the services •rendered by the Chevalier Bunsen to the Liberal cause, breathed a prayer that the attempt might not' be successful ; and, finally expressed a hope that " if the Chevalier Bunsen withdraws at all from the public thitie t a he has so long and so* ably discharged in this country, the interruption will be a very tran sient one." The perusal of such a paragraph at break fast time was not, in the case of those who •deal in stocks, favourable to digestion ; accordingly not a few of them made their appearance on 'Change in a rather desponding:and nervous mood. They had' only been there an hour or two when a second 'edition of their oracle confirmed their misgivings by publishing an "electric telegraph" from Berlin in these words The Russian party has triumphed, and Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister in England,. has - been recalled. Nothing but decisive and successful action on the part of the Allies will ever change • the vacillating policy of the King." In the evening of the same day Lord Cla- T • en d on , in his place in the House of Lords ; with Out• directly contradicting this report,, assigned good reasons for ch o el i ey i ng it. Next morning, however—the 12th --:the Times, in _the most peremptory and unequivocal language, affirmed the truth and. literary accuracy of its telegraphic news.' These are its words : • " The allusion we made ye q erday , morning to the possibility of Chevalier Bunsen withdrawal from, tire post of ,Prussian - filinister t this Conn, was followed, • after a very brief interval, by the announcement, tele gra,phed from Berlin by our own Correspondent, thit the Prussian Minister is actually recalled; • It appears that no formal :communication to this effect' had reached London yesterday evening, but there is no doubt that our statement ie correct, and that a courier isnow °utile road with despatches to this effect." _ -- • Eight days have elapsed since the publidation of the above vositive aierment, and vet the despatches have• not made their appearance. The tardy courier who wag " en the road" on the 12th of April has not yet readied London, although it is now the 20th. And, what is more strange, the Times has not once recurred to the subject since--has offere4 no explanation of the cause of his tarrying. In fact the 7imes, anqing it has been egregiously' gulled, is unwilling to revert to the subject. • The Scourge, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Captain Adams, fitting at Portsmouth for the Coast of Africa station, is flaying her steam department attended to. Externally she makes no show in equipment at present. The Pigmy steam -vessel, fitting as a gunboat for the Baltic,-was- undneked yesterday at Portsmouth, and will be completely equipped in a few days more. The Sphynx, 6,. paddle-wheel steam-sloop, has been; thoroughly repaired, and received her upper 'works. She will be the next , paddle-wheel sloop commissioned at Portsmouth for the war service. The Geyser, 6, paddle•wheel sloop, at Portsinouth, has bad some additional workmen put mpon her to expe dite her for further .service. This vessel was about to be broken up some time since. The Eurydice, 20, sailing frigate, Captain Erasmus Ommanney, is receiving ballast and taking in light stores —her rigging is nearly complete, and also her necessary repairs, and she will be ?Cady to leave the dock for the sea-fitting basin to-morrow. • The Colossus, 80, new ship under conversion for the screw, has a great number of viorkmen employed on her to hasten her for commission. The Rhadamanthus,, steam transport, _Master-Com manderlam, -with inahinery for the Algiers. '9l, and boilers for the Exmouth, 91, art ived at Plymouth at . 9 on' Thesday morning. • • • The Eiride of the Opean transport, with the first troop.. of the 17th Lancers on board,. sailed from Spithead _yes terday miming for Turkey. • The_Ganges transport, with the ,second troop of the" 17th Lancers, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday after,: noon for Turkey.

Tne,St. Yioceot, No. 18 horse transpot-ship. arrived t Woolwich on Tuesday evening from Deptfoid, and ,V:l4 at once taken into the and at half-past one .'clock p.m. yesterday about 'lO men and 46 horses. the ,upernumeraries of the lst.division of.the Royal Artillery for service in the East, commenced embarking, and were. all on board in the afternoon. Yet there were circumstances attendant upon the publication of the startling report that the Prussian Ambassador in London had been recalled at the instiga tion of asßu sign part'; in Berlin, which render it de sirable that thii:ritneiiihould4nB,tituto some inquiry into means, and the persons, by whom its " own corres pondentat.Berlin (it it:deed it was sent by that gen inan) was so' egregiously hoaxed.. The alarming electric telegraph,.:atid what alniost appears a preparatory nate of expectation sounded in the early edition of the Times, were pubiished on the 11th inst. Their effect upon the course of . the funds'will be best explained by an extract' from the City. letter of • the Times itself - of the 12th inst. . . Seamen for the transports have been offered U. per .nonth, with other advantages, and the freights of these vessels is now 30s and upwards per ton, when similar vessels might have been engaged this time last year at , e,4s than half that sum per ton. The number of trans oorts required already for _the war service is upwards 170. " The fluctuations in the English funds to-day (the 11th) have again been rather violent, and, after having opened at a decline of three-quarters per cent., they ex perienced a further severe fall, from which, up to the close of business ; there was only a slight recovery. Con eolfy Which left off yesterday at 88-:, were first quoted this moriring-at :871 -toil- the decline in the Frenoh funds, and the general character of the news, especially as regards the disbelief still prevalent at Vienna of any sincere co-operation' on the part; ,of Austria with the Western Powers; hWfug caused considerable heaviness. Nevertheless, a good demand for atock was still observ able, and a reaction therefore took plaee, - :almost imme diately-10 :85, at which 'quotation the market for some' time showed steadines< The intelligence from Berlin of the recall of Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister in England, on the ground, it is presumed, of his earnest appreciation of the contitibt, of this country, and conse quently as a concession to the animosity of the Emperor - Nicholas, then produced a very decided effect, and the price dropped rapidly to 87. Sensitive as the market was, however, some tendency to recovery continued to` exhibited,' and the final transactions were at 871 to E for both money and accouriC"' • In connexion with this history of a day's vicissitudes on the Stock Exchange, it must be borne in mind that the price. of the funds has been singularly supported since - the declaration Of . .war. On the morning of the 11th the market opened it is true; rather heavily, but the effeet otruinurs from Paris, the lugubriouS .antici yation of the Times ab ou t Ch eva lier ButiSen's recall; evaporated as the day wore on, till. a portentous tele graphic message was received,' and then the funds went down at once—like the' barometer before a hurricane— lower than they had yet been. Next day, however, they rallied—more "faith was, reposed upon Lord Clarendon's statement that'no intimation of recall had reached either DJwning-street' or the Prussian embassy than upon the . Times' story of a courier' on the road bringing the re call—and they have never again fallen siilow. In con sequence;'however, of unexpected, sudden, momentary oscillation, immense stuns Of money were lost and w on . - The dissemination of . an incorrect and ;groundless' rumour- dogmatically affirmed for four-and-tWenty hours, and then consigned to obliVioli- has entailed crip pling losses upon many, to, the great gain of a few. The story of the Prussian Minister's recall was the sole cause, for the elasticity of the prices of the funds has sustained every other shock and. pressurehefore and since. Who palmed off this mirack-working story upon the " own correspondent" of the Times? Who profited by the im plicit belief accorded to the fiction by that journal. It is obvious that the story is not one of those common canards, let . loose without any definite ann or lope, perhaps out 'of mere Stupid credulity. Great pains. must have been taken to pre-occupy the minds of the journalists with an expectation of the Chevalier . Bun sen's recall, and with faith in the infallibility of th e. source whence the knowledge that he actually had been recalled, was alleged to have been derived. The task must have been dexterously gone about, and' must have been a wprk of time ; the agents must have shown themselves sufficiently to be easily recognised. The Times—whieh of late has been boasting in such magni loquent phrase of the perfect organisation and enormous reach of its Means of obtaining news—must surely find it easy to fix upon the culprits who have so audaciously worked upon its credUlity- Their exposure is a duty it owes to the public and the press of England ; to the public, for there have of late been strong indications of a Systematic invention and diffusion of false news with a view to operate on the Stock Eichange ; to thepress, for deeply tainted as many foreign journals have been with participa tion in frau& of the BoUrse, it is desirable that it should be demenstrated an English journal may occasionally be made the dupe of such -machinations, but never an accomplice in them. 'rears agothe : Tirae c acqu i re d immense ,6c/at by its boll and dexterous ,exposure of a piece of continental swindling, and was rewarded for its services by a commemorative marble tablet, and the foundation of a ".Tines scholarship." It has now an opportunity of again rendering a similar service, by fez., retting out and exposing the fraudulent speculators in , stocks, who have made its own colum ns th e involuntary instrument of creating a twelve hburs' panic upon 'Change, that has gone nigh to beggar so me , an d may have placed' others, who were tottering on the verge of bankruptcy, in a state of afiluence, at least for a time. _- 7 -Daily .

In the northern part: of the PobtUdecha 'rises -the .steep nionntain, chain of. I.Vlatchin., : the Eashtepe, or Five Ifills here and there pieteresquely. "Focidect i ,- and- the heights of Babii-dagh, or "- Old Father HMS:" Further to the south, the whole district forms 1 a lOW Undulat - in , down, that i s on l y a few . 'hundred feet : above the e ' sea level. The soil. consists -of a fine grey- Sand; „that absorbs all moisture. Water, when it falls niacin the surface, meets with a substratuin of porous . litheatone, and percolates through this . also. ' It is lost ' labour to : search in the valleys for rivulets or Springs. The little drinking water there is can only be had at the few villages scattered `here and' there at Wide intervals, and it has ta,he drawn from wells that are from SO to 100 feat ,deep by means of bast-ropes. On account of this constant drought and the small pdpulation, agricul ture is at . a very low ebb; forage is quite as great a rarity , as scorn,. and neither haystaCk s nor granaries exist in these villages, for the grass withers away at the begin- ning of summer, leaving nothing but a boundless waving plain of tall dry stalks. The numerous flocks of sheep and herds,of buffaloes graze generally in the flats of the Danube and on its islets. - Not a, tree nor a shrub is to 'be seen anYwhere, not even in the villages. Quite as desolate and barren, equally without water and wood, nay, still more so is that part of Bulgaria on the other side of Trajan's Wall, as far as Bazardjik. Should a column of troops have to traverse this ground, it must be prepared to laattle for more than a hundred -miles against privations of every kind, and the want of every article, requisite for sustaining life. . On the other hand, the Bulgarian plain between the Danube and the Balkan is less desolate., Hete everY tl4ng is green in the spring and to the end of June ; the sides of the deep valleys are .fringed with linden trees and the wild pear,; the : brooks are set in broad mea..- , _. dovis, — and wherever the land is in tillage there luxu , riant crops never fail ; even the largest tracts lying in fallow are covered with the richest grass in profusion. But the villages are few, and only here are any inhabi tants to be found; though far - apart, they are large and generally well stocked with the necessaries of life. The soil, which is of loam, is fertile, but the roads are in consequence quite impassable in the wet season: At this period the act of descending into the . deep valleys, where the flowing waters are alinOst everywhere without bridges, is attended not nnfrequently with the most imminent danger. ' In winter the snow falls in such masses that the roads are for the time quite obliterated inmost places. Vegetation 'dries up towards the end of summer, acd • there is then a scarcity of water, notwithstanding this has been attempted to be re medied by the piety of MasSelinen, who, where it has been poesible, have constructed fountains (Tshesh mobs.) On this account the 'mine :of cavalry- in par ticular, and of all troopsiindeed, is sometimes very slow. If most camps -ia a hostile country are pitched at- the sides of :valleys with :a : streatai.in .front, in these. hot, countries, in additien—to _the difficulty of procuring what is wanted in , eamp besides - Food - and. striii, thew -is ' another—that of finding _a secure spot for pitching that:_ eainp; Water,- and a great- deal of it, is here . so prii:i mount a ricccaSiiky of life _that, in order: mot to over fatigue the men, the conirnander generally, much against. his' Will; is obliged_to encamp for, the night close to water; and therefore before the proper military position. • The population of Houmelia is essentially agricultural - and pastoral. • Althost all the towns are built on the Danube or at the foot of the mountain range ; in the first named live the Mussulman, and in the last' the Christian portion of the population. A Prussian officer, 'who travelled through the Dobrudscha, in the Nov. of 1837, 'amongst other remarks; has given the follow. ing one :--' o Man having expelled man from this region, the country seems to have. become the property of brute animals. I never saw so many nor such large eagleS as here ; they were so bold, that we could . ' almost reach them with our riding-whips, and when so disturbed they were only scared for - a moment from the old downs on which they -were settled. - Soaring up with a short flight, they re turned to their former station. Large covieg - of par tridges rose, but only when the hoofs of our horses were close to them, from out of the withered grass, generally not unobserved by a kit e wheeling aloft. Droves of bustards not heavily on the wi ng as we a pp roac h e d them, whilst long files . of cranes and wi!cl geese cut the air. The buffaloes resort to the quagmires near the Danube, and lie plunged in them, leaving their nostrils alone u covered, and wild dogs looking like wolves' roam without a master across the open country. We rode past'one of the ides on the Danube, on which mares wore:grazing, : when they saw odr cavalcade coming up they began to neigh, and some of the colts dashed into the stream to swim across to us. Ducks were quacking among time reeds, and a phalanx of wild swans, soaring with lagging wings, careered in wide circles over the placid mirror of the water. The whole scene reminded Me of a landscape by Everding or Ruysdael. Lower down near the Danube the country becomes in general more inviting, the islands are there thickly overgrown with wil loWs; the forks of the river resemble lakes, and at length the flat expand's to one huge sea, of reeds and rushes more than 40' miles in breadth. It is barely possible to descry the steep white, bank on the Bessarabian side be yond. The boundary wall or the double, in some spots triple, Wall, ,which the Emperor Trojan caused to be biiilt right across before the Danube as far as the Black Sea is still evetywhere from 8 to 10 feet high ; on the outside tuns the moat, and w ithi n l a y great hewn blocks of stone, 'which seem to have once formed a mighty wall; the western part of this fortification has fronting ,it the lakes and the marshy Karassu valley, which of itself formS a natural moat • but eastwards from the vil lige of Belik, the outer wa ll crosses the valley, and the iener, southern wall runs behind the former at unequal distances, varyin g f rom 100 t o 200 paces. At intervals in the rear 'we found the traces of the. great Roman square camps (castra), the side averaging 300 paces ; the form and the entrances were 'still perfectly distinct. The middle' part of the Dobrudseha .is inhabited by Tartars, who, when expelled by the Russians from. the Crimea . Withdrew to Bessatabia I and after the taking of Ismail retreated to this spot. Runaway Cossacks .also and Lippovaners who have stolen away from Russia, form no - inconsiderable a portion of those human beings, that still inhabit the desert of the Dobrudse.ha.

A.,:most important exception, however fol lows, and 'it is this :—.“ That no British vessel shall, un der any circumstances whatsoever, either under or by virtue of this order or otherwi4e; be permitted or ern powered to ,enterior communicate with- any port or place which shall belong to or be in the possession or occiipa: ~ tion of her Majesty'S enemies. : , The blockade of the Baltic Ports renders the conces sions ofleis immediate 'importance than thilr might other. wise be; for it - will be observed that the right of mind- , ing even neutral vessels under such circumstances is ex pressly reserved ; but taking 'Archangel as an instance. it would appear that direct trade with that port may be carried on without any risk i dr - Molestation, provided only-that no British vessel be:employed. Obvious reasons justify the continuvice of the restric t ion just mentioned. It would hardly be possible for a British trade r, under 'any circumstances, to enter with security a port 'belonging to the enemy • and even a superior force-out-ide would :not prevent the capture of the ship, Which might very probably be destroyed, as' well as of the crew, 'who would be made prisoners of war, or might, perhaps, be impressed and forced to serve against their country. All, however,'which it is possible to do in favour of our own shipping interest has been effected by the recent orders. We cannot give them the power of entering Archangel, but we enable them to go.to Hamburg or to Dantiic; and to return with hostile property. - It would previously , have been open •to them to bring the . very same cargoes, pro vided that neutrals were at the times of purchase' the owners ; and,- as might be, expected ficti tious transfers have been, in fernier times, encou raged to an . enormous extent by the maintenance of this distinction. The carrying trade wilt now no longer be, left in the exclusive' possession of neutrals, and indirect commerce with the hostile state will afford employment to English capital, us well as to English seamen. It is also to be observed that, -as the rights of blockade will be maintained, and as it is probable that the ports in the Black Sea will speedily be placed in this condition, 'while those 'in the Baltic already are so, the traffic must be almost entirely indirect ; and, therefore, the , privilege which neutrals must pos sess,- of being able to enter hoitile ports, will give them Ink little advantage over our ()Vil tradeis. The former • orders; justifiable as they were on grounds of the soundest policy, no doubt pressed somewhat hardly upon particu lar_classes of our population ; and we trust that advan tage to the nation at- large,. as well as . to those who will : reap the most immediate , benefit, may result from the present . rnedifications. ' It will be remem bered that in the case of outward -bound cargoes, eon traband of war is excluded.from the general permission, and sufficient reasons exist for maintaining the prohibi tion. The general effect of the Orders appear to be that, subject to the two -reservations just mentioned, direct trade with the enemy may be carried by means of neu tral vessels, and. indirect trade by our own -or by those of any neutral nation. We wait with curiosity to see whether-'our adversary will meet us by corresponding -concessions ; but nothing which has yet happened leads' us to suppose that a policy so liberal will find favour at the Russian Court. However this may be, we ,have adopted a course unprecedented perhaps, but at least deserving of a fair trial, and not unlikely to produce desirable results ; whether considered in its commercial bearing or its political, .whielt is at least equally im portant.

Mr. Dick had issued strict orders that, before going into them, the men should lower a lighted candle through Ale hatch to ascertain whether or not the air was strong and required to be purified by pouring in water. A man named Bird, after having descended into the tuu for the purpose of cleaning it, fell to the bottom in a state of insensibility. His com panion went down almost immediately after having given the afarm, and was also suffocated. Three inert went down one by one, but they were rescued in a, greatly e xhausted. state by an o t h e r of the brewers, who took the precaution to go down •with ropes `for the purpose of having them pulled up at the risk of his ' own safety.' Bird and poyle were both deka tiefore they could be drawn up,--Edinburgh` New& AUSTRA:II.4 AND THE PARIS EXHIBITION. As yon are aware, the Executive Government here has consented to advance 3,000/. to defray the expense of 'Collecting specimens of the natural productions of New South Wales, to be sent to the Great Exhibition at Paris in,1855. There is a general impression that this colony was not adequately represented in the Lon-, don Exhibition of 1851. As the discovery of gold was only made here about the time the Exhibition opened, Australia sent nothing so striking and brilliant as the fine specimens of the precious metal, in solid " nuggets," dust, an. scales, it could now furnish. But these are not the only forms in which it is found ; many of the aurifer ous rocks, through which the gold is scattered in threads or grains, are more beautiful to the eye than the solid metal itself. Parts of the gold region have also produced gems and stones, which have yet to be confirmed in . a full right to the name of " precious ;" and the opinion of Pari sian lapidaries on thediamonds and rubies of ,Australia will be worth taking. There is also a great variety of . other minerals, quite enough to fit up a splendid cabinet of specimens, The ores of copper are very rich ; stream tin has been found among the black dust of the gold fields, and more recently a mine of pure'steel is said to have been discgered near .Bathurst. A block of Sydney sandstone will be sent to show that we have excellent materials for building, and some of the pure white sand of the coast, in hopes of tempting over a few_glassmakers for whom thercis a capital opening. Specimens of all the cereals -at .present cultivated will be sent, and per haps a few cases of colonial wine, though the cons parisons challenged by' submitting it to French criti cism may be slightly hazardous. It is proposed also to give European eyes a better idea of some of the Austra lian scenery by means of models than can be derived from pictures or descriptio. The harbour and shores of Port Jackson, from the Heads to Pararnatta, including the .city of Sydney and its suburbs, with ail the coves and creeks of the bay, have been suggested as, furnishing a fine subjectfor this, the best kind of illus tration, if it ,is well executed. Specimens of the-colonial flora could not be sent in their finest condition, but close imitations of the best native varieties - may, it is be lieved, be prepared in wax. Our fruits are all introduc tions, and the European sorts would have no direct no velty, but some degree of interest might attach to them AS familiar friends returning from their distant home, in appearance nothing the worse for the climate. The na-, _tive woods did not attract so much attention as they de., - served in London, as ,the specimens sent were in planks and blocks for the Paris Exhibition it is proposed to. work them- up into articles of furniture, that the French manufacturers may the better appreciate their merits.' We should send some colonial silk if we had any, but we have got no further towards producing it than grow ing a few muilv..rey tines. In the production of cptton we are further advanced, 18 bales having been recentry Shipped for Liverpool from the Moreton Bay district. Skives have been grown in the Botanical-garden - at Sydney, to the extent of two tons in a season, hut,wo do not know how to preserve them, or press thein r for the oil, so the commercial value of this capability, like that of so many others, is nil. . Two experiments with coffee - hay . e latelybeen announced, as failures at Moreto n Ba y; n lately : been the plant, withered, in the other the seed would not grow. It is a safe rule to assume that any a kind of cul tivation that requires special knowledge oe ns not and d close atten will tion, cheap labour and many h ands, , not exist in Australia for very many years. Cattl e breeding and agriculture, according tothemost ordinary.. English methods, are the only productive inelustries .to which may be added hor ticulturepr. lctised on a large scale, enough to furnish a meagre , supply of the commonest English kitchen vegetables :and fruits.-- Timm correspondent.- • THUNDER -STORM IN LIVERPOOL. —Oft Tuesday night, and early yesterday morning, Liverpool was Visited by a very severe thunder-storm,- which lasted several hours, accom panied by very heavy showers of rain, and a great deal of lightning.

TH PRESTON STRIKE. PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEDIATION •• CO4LAIITTEE: PRESTON, APRIL 19.

W. CORLESR TO MR. T. MILLER. "The Mediation . Committee, which was nominated at the public meeting held in the Theatre on the 29th of last March, met for the first time on Tuesday evening, the 4th of April. It ' w ill be proper he ro to. remark, that two or. three persons who were nominated at the meeting declined to act as members of the committee. "At its first meeting the committee resolved' that pro- , .posals should be obtained from the Operatives-as. to the terms on which they would resume work; and th a t th e Res , — J. 0. Parr, the vicar (who officiated as chairman of the committee), :should endeavour to ascertain the views of the employerain respect to the proffered mediation. " The second meeting of the committee was held on Tues day evening, the 11th of April, when the report of theAlicar and the proposals of th e operative's were received. Th e operative' spinners prop4ed to accept an average rate of wages, high and low, paid in the principal manufacturing districts of Lancashire. The weavers were willing to abide by any one of the four following conditions :-1. They would resume work at the prices that were paid when the mills were closed. 2. They would resume work at the prices now offered by the employers - , protided that within a certain Specified and reasonabl e period, say a fortnight, the empipiets.would give them 'the same wages they were receiving when the mills were shutnik 3. They _would, likethe_operative spinners, accept an average rats of wages, high and low, paid in the principal manufactur ing districts of Lancashire. 4c Tsherwettkl - agre e to arbi tration, anti would pledge themselves, that in the event of the arbitration' deciding in Alio& of the prices at present offered by the employers,•they Would'ithinediately return to work. " The vicar, on behalf of the employers,-intimated that ' from inquiries -I have made," am convinced of the inuti lity of any attempt at mediation on the factory question.' Winckley-square, April 15. "ANSWER OF MR. T. Baum. " Prestonc - Aprill7. " Dear Sir,-:-The note sent - by you and Mr. Shaw, alon g w ith th e report, will be laid before the codmitte i s of the Associated Masters, at their next meeting, on Mon day morning. —I am, dear sir, yoars faithfully, " Mr. W. Corless. " T. MILLER. "REPL Y OF THE ASSOCIATED MASTERS' COMMITTEE. "Gentlemen,--I am directed, by the Committee of the Associated Masters to say, that they have had a letter placed before-them •signed by Messrs. W. Corless and G. Shaw, enclosing a report fro m . a M e di a thou -C o *tte ippointed at the Th ea t re on the 29th ult. The co m m u l l ittee believe that the gentlemen who have undertaken this task are actuated,bythe most disinterested motives and a sin cere desire to effect the object for which they were ap pointed. "The only matter now in dispute betw een th e masters and the operatives is the amount of wages to be paid. It is simply the offer of certain wages by one party, and the refusal of them by the other. " This same difference might, and no doubt daily does,- exist between master and servant in all other trades, an well as in domestic circles. "Rates of wages cannot be settled by mediation, but must be left to the free operation of supply and demand. "The committee cannot, therefore, recommend the As- sociated Masters to accede to any mediation in such a case, as it would be the acknowledgment of a principle most dangerous and mischievous in its tendency, a principle alike subversive of the rights of the working man in the disposal of his labour, and of the rights of the waster in the employment of his capital. "The committee, entertaining these views, respectfully' decline, on the part of the Associated Masters, the proposed mediation. " I am, gentlemen, your obedient 'servant, J. A. EWAN, Secretary. "Messrs. W. Corless and G. Shaw, hon. secretaries to a Mediation Committee, 326, North-road, Preston." "REPLY OF THE MEDIATION COMMITTEE. ' "Preston, April 19. "Sir,—We are requested by the Mediation Committee to acknowledge the receipt of yottnnote, in which you cour teously state the determination of the Committee of the Associated Masters to decline any services which it might be in the power of the Mediation Committee to give. They deeply regret this determination, especially so, as in their opinion the reasons you allege on behalf of the Committee of the Associated Masters will not bear the test of any very strict or profound investigation. " The Mediation Committee, in accepting aloes imposed upon them by the unanimous consent of a large assemblage of their fellow-townsmen, have had no intention of allow ing themselves to be drawn into any discussion concerning disputed points in political economy. In reference , how ever, to your remar k s a b out supply and demand, they cannot forbear expressing the opinion that the state of the town of Preston is a striking exemplification of the fallacy of the doctrine you have so unconditionally enunciated. Labour here is in great demand, the supply is small,' and yet the wages offered are considerably less than such as were paid some six or seven months ago. There are evidently other elements, not,, perhaps, as yet well defined or scientifically determined, that enter into the true solution of the question. " You state that to admit of mediatiou4n such a case as this would be the admission of a principle dangerous and .mischievous in its tendency. Such a supposition appears to the Mediation Committee to be based imp ari exagge rated notion of the necessity of defending Ind enforcing abstract individu a l r i g ht s . Now, abstract personal rights, if rigidly enforced, tend pot to the consolidation, but to the dissolution of the bonds of society. society, in short, is made up of compromises. Moreover, there is a legal maxim to the effect that persons shall souse their property as not to injure the property of others. Whether in law the maxim be sound .or the reverse, it evidently is so in equity and common sense. Now, the skill, industry, and capital i f classes unconnected with this dispute aro ma terially damaged and depreciated by it; and they, in s the opinion of the Mediation Committee, baee a perfect right to use all legitimate means in defence of their . property, even to the extent of applying to Parliament for powers to do what our chivalrous allies the French are, under similar circumstances, in the habit of doing—namely, to make the settlement of this dispute coinoulsork. The Mediation Counr.ittee are sure that the members of the Committee of the Masters' Association will, upon calm consideration, coincide in the priniiples now propounded, inasmuch as to hold the contrary would be equivalent to maintaining that persons may, when they choose, appropriate to them selves all the advantages which the institution of society originates and secures,. and repudiate the obligations of that institution..when it suits their convenience to do so.

'The hands in the following► establishments haye already struck :—The.mills of Messrs. Kerslaw, Lees, and Co., upwards of 2,000 persons ; James Marshall and Co., 4,400 ; Robert M.'Clure, 1,200 ; Cephas Howard, 850 ; T. 'Fernely, 560'; Robinson, 540 ; Whiletegge, 600 ; Stewart, 450 ; Eskrigge and Carver, 270 ; Barlow, 100 ; Thorniley. 250 ; Barrett., 235 ; Read, 170 ; S. Wilkin son, 218 ; T; Walmsls, 150 ; NVaterhouse and Hampson, 450 ; and Asbe, 160. The firm of Major Marsland and some others have given notices which expire tdwards the end of this week, and the operatives are expected in those mills. also to leave their work. The few mills which will'continne mining are mostly spinning only, and as three-fourth nearly of the wages given in pro ducing a piece of cloth are paid on the weaving, the spinners do not feel the high prices so much as those who are spinners and weavers, or, as ,they are called, in the district, spinners and "manufacturers." ' There appears to have been some difference of opinion among the delegates of the various towns as to the propriety of the Stockport people striking while the Preston' opera tives are out ; and one of the delegates, in addressingA . meeting at Darwen, is reported to have described Stockport workmen us "hot-headed and 'impatient ;"' and to have augured ruin 'to the cause of the Preston operatives if tho . se of , Stockport persisted in striking. The receipts at Preston from Stockport have been about 2001. per week. The firm of Kershaw and Co., at Stockport, is one of the largest in the district, and it is estimated that they turn out upwards of 12,000 pieces of cloth, chiefly far India; of about 43 yards per- piece. They are, in addition, extensive merchants and calico printers, and probably purchase three-fourths as much dab, to print as they manufacture themselves. w A S y. o is v tl E x a r TR O E L m AND NORTH-WESTERN Ra- Viresinesday.—Ever since Tuesday afternoon all business has been suspended at the goods department of the London and North-Western Railway Company in this town, in consequence of the strike of the bookers, deliverers of goods, cranemen, and foremen. The interruption caused to the trade of the town and the manufacturing districts generally was very great, from the suddenness of the strike, of which no previous intimation had been given. A few months back the same men struck for an advance of wages, when the dispute was settled by a compromise. This morning 15 delegates from the men waited upon Mr. Braithwaite Poole, the manager of the goods department, titi tat lay ea statement of their grievances before him. They. s that since the last strike the price of provisionihad con siderably increased, and they therefore asked fer_n. for general rise in their wages, averaging 2s. per week each man. They also ask e d p e rmission to leave o— they - work at 5 o'clock on Saturdays, i n order that might make their marketi n gs at an earlier h our, an d. that their wages should be paid, weekly in stead of fort nightly, With reference to thefir e s v t e qu d neistitoervn,ieaews with ot i h th e rate of wages, Mr. Poole, after sr, the delegates and the chief local officials of the cote pany, agreed to it, subject, however, to the approval of the directors. The other questions, he said, must ba left open for consideration.; for instance , the comp an y could not undertake to close at an earlier hour on Satur days than their rivals did. To prevent a recurrence of • such sudden stoppages to the company's business in future, Mr. Poole insisted on the delegates signing an• agreement that in future no man should leave tke com pany's service without giving a month's notice. This the delegates did cheerfully, and said they would be answerable that all the .other men would do the same. The men on strike (about 400 in number) then returned to their work at four o'clock. him:DENT ROBBERY AT APAWNBROKER'S.—Last night" a young girl, while the shoptnau of Mr. Holmes, pawn broker of Broad-st ree t , St. Giles's, was engaged -in serving a euePoPer, daringly seized a small parcel con. • taming handkerchiefs an The thief, thinking the much e some other articles of value. s opraan was too en ;aged. to notice her exit, left very leisurely ; but , she had scarcely reached th e outside of thsshep, -when anything but an affectionate embrace from the shopman secured, her till she was handed over to the police for the statiefr . house. • 0 16. //
