The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free Episcopal Church: THE WARWICKSHIRE COL LIERIES. At several of th ese c o lli er i ea t h e w o r kmen have withi n the last week g i ven not i ce for an a d vance i n th e i r wages , i n consequence of the gre a t r i se i n th e price of iron and coals in the adjoinin g county of Stafford, and where an advance of wages has b een g i ven to all the wor k men . I n consequence of the above notice being given, the proprietor of the Craven Colliery, in the Warwickshire district, after regaling his workmen with a good supply of beef and good old ale, ad dressed them as follows : " kly good Workmen,—lt is at such a meeting as this that a reciprocal good understanding can be maintained between the employer and employed, and was the trade in such a state that I could meet you more frequently, it would afford me much pleasure. I have been informed, and I know it to be correct, that at some of the neighbouring collieries notice has been given for an advance of wages, and I must allow you richly deserve it. I well know the dangers you have to con tend with, and also the hard and slavish work you have to go through. But at the name time, I beg to give you and the neighbouring workmen some advice before you go too far in giving notice. Although I know it is not your intention to give nie notice at present, and I am glad you have thought better than to do eo, for before workmen give notice to their employer for a rise of wages, they should well consider whe ther their employers are in a situation to do so. I must here remind you of that unfortunate year 1842, when the whole of the colliers in this district struck for an advance of wages, which entailed a good deal of suffering upon many poor workmen, and which they have scarcely recovered from yet. You all found out it was not ih the power of your masters to better your condition, in consequence of the low price of coals, and Which is the case now. The trade generally throughout England, in 1842, rigs in ae depreesed a state, that it would have been impolitic to raise tit? price of coals; but now it is quite different, and in my opinion, the state of trade will allow of an advance, and you who have the great danger of getting the coals are entitled to a ; better remuneration for your labour. But in doingthir, great care must be taken In the coal trade in this district—for an The Badsworth hounds, on Tuesday, at Dayton ; Thursday, at Cambleforth ; Saturday, at Womersley.

As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to whether the articles sent to the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by the COllnnittee of Management in London, it is respectfully requested that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the raw materials, and the additional value given by the labour subse quently expended upon them. Upon application, the Council will be happy to forward to any of the Local Committees, or individuals, who are preparing contribu tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article— the price —and the name of the contributor. The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends in the smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it may not be practicable to obtain contributions in the shape of manu factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist of May, as Bazaar purses in aid of the League Fund. Such of the Local Committees as intend to furnish a stall, are earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay. Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly.

Bat if the coal-owners in those counties would consent to a rise of coals, it would better the Condition of their workmen as well as you. I think the day is close at hand when this will be the case, for I am glad to tell you that the greater part of the coal-owners of this district had a meeting this week, to take into consideration an advance in the price of coals, and also to better you in a rise of wages; and for that purpose a deputation, of which I am one, was appointed to see the coal-owners In the above counties, and in a short time we shall be able to give you further infor mation on the subject. But Ido sincerely hope that the other colliers in this district will take the same view of the subject that you have taken, and continue at their work until the coal-owners can get an advance, to enable them to assist you. You must also bear in mind that the masters have been selling coals at much lower prices than at the time your wages were lowered aikpence a day. But take say advice, keep to your wurk. I will use every effort in my power to get an advance. The moment I sell the first ton of coal at a higher price, you shall have the advance of wages."

A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as common Candles, is 'their true character.

Coucher, a searcher of the port of London, stated that he had been investigating certain vouchers of goods, and he called upon . Messrs. Hall, to inquire about the duty paid on the 4th of December, 1340, upon six cases of wine, imported by the Menai, and - cleared by the prisoner. The entry upon which the duty was paid was 71. 2s. 6d., and in the blue-book it was entered, in the writing of the prisoner, as follows: Menai, British ship, H M C, Is. 6d., Phillips ,a Calais 14 Prime—Six cases twenty gallons French wine, in common glass bottles, reported quarts, duty 7/. 3s. 6d. 4th December, 1840.

This Railway is projected to give a direct line of communication between Leicester and Birmingham, and across the country from east to wtst, in connexion with the Midland, Syston, and Peter borough, and the_Gloucester. and Bristol Railways. It will also, by means of the Trent Valley and Churnet Valley Railways, open a direct communication between Leicester and the South-Eastern Districts, and Manchester, Liverpool, and Ireland. It will also accommodate the important local traffic between Lei seater and Birmingham, including the intermediate towns of Hhich ley, Nuneaton, and AtherstoLe, a district containing a population of upwards of 40,000, chiefly engaged in manufactures ; and open a communication with the extensive and valuable mines of Coal and Ironstone in the Oldbury and Ansley fields, hitherto rendered almost useless for want of the means of transit. In addition to this local traffic, this line will have the great advan tage, through its branch, of extending and securing the valuable Coal traffic arising on the Swinnington and Leicester Railway, opening a direct communication along the Midland Railway with the southern markets. The prisoner said there was a port entry, and ho had the entry of it in his book. There was, be observed, no difficulty about it, he was quite satisfied. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, but the Lord Mayor intimated his willingness to take bail for the prisoner's appearance to the amount of 2001. The main line will save a distance of ten miles between Leicester and Birmingham. The length of the main line, which this Company proposes to construct, is eighteen miles, and the branch line eight miles. The main line is Intended to commence by a junction with the Midland Counties Railway at the Broughton Astley Station, and passing near to the towns of Hinckley and Nuneaton, to unite with the Trent Valley Railway at the latter town, 'and proceed along the same to near the town of Atlierstone, and from thence to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming a Junction therewith at the Whittacre Station. The branch line will commence at the Broughton Astley Station, and terminate by a junction with the Swannington and Leicester Railway, near to Desford. _ _ It Is confidently anticipated that this project will receive the sup port and sanction of the several Railway Companies affected by the proposed lines. - The names of the Provisional Committee, together with a Mil pro. spectus, will be published in a few days. Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Provisional Di. rectors, at the Office of the Solicitor, S. S. Baxter, Esq., Atherstone, Warwickshire. COURT CIRCULAR.

MASHES.—On Es On Thursday afternoon, at two o'clock, Colonel Chalmer, Assistant Direc tor-General of Artillery, Captain Palliser, of the Proof De partment, and Brigade-Major Sandham, Royal Engineers, were present in the Marshes to witness experiments with a thirteen-inch mortar,' fired at an elevation of forty-five de grees, at 1,100 yards range, on a platform submitted by Lieut.-Colonel Alderson, Royal Engineers. Twenty-five rounds were fired, and the practice was very good, and the platform stood the recoil remarkably well, only showing a depression of about half an inch in the centre; and gradually receding to the out sides. The gallant officers, at the conclusion of the firing, proceeded to witneas experiments with a furnace in vented by Captain Addison, for making shot red hot in a more limited time than by any other plan yet tried. The furnace resembles a barrack-room stove, and when not used for heating shot for service at fortifications, would answer the purpose of heating a large establishment. It is 4 feet 5 inches long by 3 feet 2 inches broad, and 3 feet 8 inches high, sppported on wheels fur the convenience of moving, and capable of heating at one time thirty-six twenty four-pounders, or thirty thirty-two pounders. The fire was ligh ted a quarter of an hour before the shot was put in, and in three-quarters of an hour more they were red hot. When the stove is once in full heat, a succession of shot may be made red hot in about a quarter of an hour, and by regulating the draught they can be kept in that state for a length of time. - - MUSICAL GOSSIP.—It would appear that the pre sent is the most prolific musical season known in Paris. "Among the most interesting concerts given this year. figures," says a private letter, " that of Madame Katinka de Dietz, lately appointed pianists to her Majesty the Queen of Bavaria, and who proposes visiting London in the course of this month." Sir 'William Smith, Bart, of Bardiston, near Ten bury, and the Rev. Edward Higgins, of Bosbury House, near Ledbury, have qualikted as magistrates for the county of Worcester. rostatcor. The Princess de Canino, widow of Prince Lucien Buona parte, has addressed a letter to several French journals, pro testing against several passages in the " History of the Con sulate and the Empire," just publishedby M.

General Baron Veilande, formerly a Deputy for the Ar. dennes, was found a few days ago lying dead by his fireside. The immediate cause of his death is believed to have been a sudden fit of apoplexy. The treaty which General De la Rue signed on the 18th ult. with the Commissioner of the Emperor of Morocco has reached Paris. M. Roche, who acted as interpreter to the General, arrived with it; soon after his arrival U. Roche was received by the King. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, appointed to examine the proposition of M. Remusat relative to the in compatibility of certain administrative functions with those of Deputies, had rejected it by a majority of 6 against 3, and chosen AL Hebert, the Attorney-General, for its reporter. A St. Petersburgh letter of the 27th ult. states that within the last few years there have been found in Siberia, at dif ferent depths in the earth, a great quantity of the bones of the Mastodontes ; and, as the tusks and other teeth of these antediluvian animals not only possess all the qualities of ivory, but even surpass that of the elephant, in being less fragile and less liable to turn yellow, the merchants of To bolsk, Tomsk, Ornsk, and Jeunisseisk, have formed them selves into a company, to carry on a trade in this new article. They are said to have been so successful that, during the last year, they transported to St. Petersburgh upwards of 16,000 lb. weight of the tusks and teeth of the Alastodontes, which have been sold at 30, 40, 60, and even 100 per cent. higher than elephant ivory. Articles made of this new mate rial are in great request in the Russian capital. SLAW AND VOX.= b . The business of the Western Circuit has terminated, Charles Peacock, who was out on bail, surrenderedto take his trial at Gloucester on a charge of forgery. The prose cutor, a man named Davis, gave his evidence in a very extra• ordinary and confused manner, and the jury at once returned a verdict of acquittal, in which Mr. Baron Platt said he heartily concurred. This case concluded the Oxford Circuit. After a trial of nine hours and a half, Rocker was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of the murder of Mr. Delarue. An errand boy, named Michael Henry, in the employ of Mr. Godfrey, of Great Carter-lane, was fully com mitted from Guildhall, on a charge of stealing a cash- box, containg 701., with which he had escaped to Ballinasloe. The Earl of Bective summoned an omnibus driver, named Searle, to Queen-square, for damaging his Lordship's cab, by carelessly driving against it. The evidence was of a very contradictory character, and Mr. Burrell dismissed the com plaint without throwing imputation upon the witnesses on either side. iliPg OtlT3t 1 0. bees ~l~'j V
