Irtiirt iabition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 9th, in the Messaggere Modanev, states that the Papal Government . has de termined to order all naked statues in the churches to be covered, _including the little marble angels that have for ages been exposed to public gaze, and the Genius at the tomb of Clement, by Canoga. By the same account, paintings are likely to undergo the same ordeal. The Tuscan Monitore of the 19th, publishes a con vention concluded between Tuscany and Rome for the better repression of smuggling. In its sitting of the 21st the Senate of Turin passed the Bill abolishing the feudal right of the bannalita, by which the tenant was obliged to have his corn ground at his landlord's mill, by 51 votes to 7.

(From the Londox New Price Current, Dec. 27, SIICA.R.—The market has been closed . since last Fr iday, but will re-open on Thursday next with several public sales. Although no advance is looked for in the early part of January, still a good home trade demand Is anticipated, as dealers hold small stocks, and imports are likely not to be generally equal to the correspond ing month of 1850; at all the ports duty has been paid up to the present time on Colonial and Foreign Sugar upon 273,000 tons, against 263,000 to the same time last year; and stocks are 33,000 tons less than at that time. The receipts here of every sort reach 179,000, in 1849 to 200,000, stocks are 58,000, and in 1849 76,000 tons. The Gazette Average Price of West India exceeds last year's by 3s per cwt, and the stock is now 7,700 tons, against 16,300 in the previous season. REFINED.—There is more firmness in the Refined Sugar-market, and supply is less than in the previous week; home dealers have been buyers to a fair extent, and rather higher rates are obtained, with a prospect of a brisk demand taking place in January. Sales of brown Grocery Lumps have been made at 50s 6d; Standard Lumps 51s 6d; Tittlers, common to fine, 51s to 545; double 53s 65 to 54s 6d; Hamburgh Loaves 510 d to 54, and double 55s 6d to 565; there is a reluctance-to seli - frT delivery at these rates, as a difference exists of only 12s per cwt between the value of standard Lumps and fair working Sugar, with a consumption exceeding that of last year. Wet Lumps are firm in price, and in fair requeSt'at from 47s to 49s fur common to fine.. Supplies of Dutch made goods are falling off, and several parcels have been sold at from 508 to 54s for Loaves; there is also a firtsi market. Bastards are operated in with caution, brown at 29s to 32s 6d, and yellow at 33s to 37s for low to fine. In Pieces operations are to a limited extent, but rates ire not lower, ruling at from 44s to 45s for fine, and at 37s to 41s for other descriptions. Treacle is yet operated iu with caution, and consumption does no extend, although prices have been low for some time past ; there are sellers of boiled frous West India Molasses at 133 to 14s, EPatent 14s 6d to 16s, and Golden Syrup at 17s to 19s. The demand does not im prove for Crushed Sugar for,export, but as refiners are obtaining small profits they decline to sell at a reduction, and require for British 28s 6d to 30s, Dutch 25s to 27s 6d, fine and superior 28s to 29s 6d, and Belgian from 6d to 283 6d; there is no increase in production. Treacle for export is not much required, but is held for 12s 6d to 133; Bastards fur the same purpose are also operated in with caution, at from 19s 6d to 21s, and Pieces at 26s 6d to 275. In the market for Loans there is firmness, with a prospect of the shipping demand being more active shortly ; the rates obtained are. fur Turkey 1 to silbs 40s to 455; Hambro 6 to 7lbs 333 to 345, 10 to lOilbs 32s 6d to 335, 14 to 151ba 32s ; Tittlers 20 to 30:bs 30s 6d to 31s; Prussian;4olba to 451bs 30s to 30s 6d ; Dutch made Loaves 6 to 101bs 31s to 335; and Belgian lolbs 30s to 303 6d; offers fur several parcels have been refused rather under these rates. MADRITIUS.—The stock here consists of only 3,465 tons; last year at the same period it usually reached 5,460. Importations have been 27,600, against 24 900 in 1849. Home trade deliveries amount to 30,000, and in the previous season to 31,000 tons. By private contract small parcels have changed hands, but buyers show great reluctance to pay any rise on present quotations, although few parcels of the new crop have been received, and the stock is nearly all in the possession of second hands.) The value of low to fine yellow may be considered horn 37s 6d to 43a, brown 32s to 375, and refining qualities 36s to 4ls per cwt; these rates are 2s to 3s above those existing at this period last year. The quality of the new crop continues to be su perior to 1849. EAST bans..—The importations of Bengal this year, up to the present time, reaches 29,000 tons, against 32,400 last year. Deliveries for home trade purposes 31,000; in 1849 they were 34,000 tons. Present stock 6,800 tons; in the previous season 8,700. Only small sales have taken place privately, but we have not heard of any reduction being made by sellers. Prices are 2s to 4s above this timelast year. White Benarea can be bought at 42s to 455, crystalized yellow 39a to 455, white 46s to 48s, soft yellow 33s to 40s, brown 30s to 325, and like Mauritius 36s to 42s per cwt. Advicss from Calcutta stet shipments of Sugar continued to fall much under the previous season. The quantity of Madras in bond here is now 4,600; last year 3,200 tow. The importations extend to 7,500 tons; in 1849 they were 6,400. Duty has been paid for home consumption upon 6,200 tons, against 7,900 in the past year. Prices, compared with 1849, exhibit an advance of Is to 31 per cwt, the rise being most prominent on superior descrip tions. Nu transactions worthy of comment have come under observation privately; some parcels of soft brown Ma dras are offering at 3Us to 325, and yellow 33s to 363; the stock is less than a few weeks back. Of superior and grainy qualities several parcels aro near at hand. The stock of Penang falls short of last year, and, it is probable, will remain so. FOREIGN.—Tie total stock of Foreign Sugar here in bond is now 35,600; in the past season 41,800. Arrivals reach 50,000, rgainst 62,000 in 1849. Deliveries for home consumption 32,000, and lust year only 21,000. For exportation they amount to 23,000 tons; in 1849 57,000. Many entertain an opinion that arrivals will continue to fall off from the Havannah in the ensuing year, Prices of Foreign Sugar are, on an average, 3s per cwt above last season. From shippers the inquiries have been limited, and the home trade are little inclined to purchase; still holders refuse to sell under prices equal to those paid previously, and few samples are brought forward. The value of brown Manilla is 31s to 334, greyish 37s to •38s 6d; yellow Havannah 41s to 455, bumf) 38s to 40s; Porito Rco 37s to 465• and white Havannah, in bond, 27s to 34. per cwt. Tbe principal part of the stock of Foreign Sugar here is held by sp, - culators, and on Foreign account. MoLassEs.—Arrivals have been 1,000 puns less than last season, and deliveries for consumption are equal to that time, but stock is 1,7000 puns larger; prices are firmer, ruling fur low to fine West India at from 15s 6d to 17s; East India 12a 6d to 13; Cuba and Porto Rico 15. to 16s 6d; there is also a prospect of a better de mand taking place shortly. From all parts are likely to continue under the previous year, an account of the moderate rates prevailing for some time past. CorFEE.—There is a larger stock here than at this time last year by 57,000 cwt, and deliveries exhibit a decrease of 36,000 for home consumption, and 133,000 cwt for export. On the part of holders of Native Cey lon there is much confidence, and a good business has been concluded at rather higher rates, 56s 6d to 57s having been obtained, and home dealers are now the chief operators. In Plantation there has been a good deal doing, and prices have advanced la to 2s per cwt since this day week, but for the lower sorts demand is the most active, and dealers are the chief operators; supply has been fat ling off, and the rates obtained have been for good to fine ord 56s to 58s, fine fine ord and low mid 59s to 625, mid 63s to 6c3, and other descriptions 66, to 765: the stock of Ceylon is 7,500 casks more than•last year, but 11,000 bags loss; Native is still higher in price than Plantation. There are several buyers of Jamaica, and rather higher rates offered, but few parcels are to be obtained, and stock does not exceed that of last year. Mocha is brought sparingly to market, and there are se veral buyers at rates rather above those existing pre viously; clean garbled sorts realises from 75s to 'ls per cwt; the stock is 700 bales leas than last year. Java has been in good request at 52s to 541, and stock is chiefly in second bands. Other sorts of East India are wanted; Madras at 54. to 665, Padang and Sumatra 47s to 495. Foreign Coffee is wanted, and stiffer rates are offered, but few parcels are on offer, and the parcels of Costa Rica disposed of were at 52s to 565, and some parcels of St. Domingo a t 49 3 t o 49 s 6d, ;ils' floating cargoes of Rio cannot be obtained under 465. From the continental market& advices represent Coffre to be in good request, and prices were on the advance; good ord Java was selling equal to 52s per cwt. The chief part of the stock of Coffke here is in the hands of dealers and speculators. Cocos.—Although there is less business doing in West India, still holders are not disposed to sell at lower rates, there being a smaller stock than last year, and with a very large consumption; the rates obtained are from 49s to 56s for Trinidad, and 42s to 48s for Grenada; of fine red the supply is scanty. Foreign is held with firmness, although there is not much doing, but stock yet falls short of last year; for Bahia and Para the rates demanded are 31e to 325, and Guayaquil 33s to 33s 6d per cwt. The chief part of the stock of Cocoa is in dealers' hands.

Sir,—Your columns have this weekcOntained an address of congratulation and gratitude to his Eminence Cardinal Wisimsn, purporting to come from the Roman Catholic laity; I am anxious to state why I, though one of that laity, refused to sign the address. Seeing how the Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain was pros pering, I may well doubt the wisdom of petitioning for, as I may also question the policy of establishing, the hierarchy. But be that as it may, when I contrast the quiescent state of the country as it was last September with the criminations and recriminations, not unaccom panied with danger to the public peace, which have since prevailed, and still prevail—a state of irritation unfor tunately aggravated by other influences, yet all the direct consequences of the publication of the Papal do cument, and certain pastorals accompanying it—l cannot join in an expression of thanks to the chief, though, I am sure, unintentional, promoter of ti is wide •spread and, to the Roman Catholic body, I fear, lasting mischief. I confine this letter to this one point, reserving to my self, when Parliament shall meet, tke further expression of any opinions that I may then deem it necessary to state. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Stonor, Henley-on-Tit/tales, Dec. 26. CAMOYS, .NGE.-(THIS DAY. Gibra1tar..............

Peter Short, a well known dragoman, and ex-cab driver, was brought up on remand before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing a ream of paper, the property of Mesars. Pewtress, Lowe, and Pewtres?, stationers and paper-sellers, in Graceehurcb-street. Police-Sergeant Wakeford, No. 5 H, said the prisoner had been twice convicted of felony, and came out of prison on th• morning of the very day the robbery was committed.—The prisoner was oommitted for trial. SOUTHWARK. John Tyler, a powerful man, was charged with a daring robbery in the Kent-road. Mr. Matthew Fullard stated that on the previous night, as he was walking along the Kent-road, the pri soner came up and, addressing him, remarked that it was a fine night for the season, and added that he lived a short distance down the road, and was going home. Complainant said very little in reply, being no way anxious to cultivate the acquaintance of a strangf-r under such circumstances; and he therefore quickened his pace in order to get rid of him. In this latter ex pectation, however, he was disappointed, as the prisoner still kept up with him, and when they arrived at some palings in front of a garden the prisoner rushed up, and, seizing the chain of complainant's watch, by a jerk got it out of his pocket, and ran away. Complainant imme diately pursued the prisoner, calling " Stop thief l" and he was eventually secured, [and the watch was dis covered afterwards by a policeman in the road, where it must have been thrown in the course of the pursuit. The prisoner said that he was respectably connected, and denied the charge. He was committed. James Taylor, a tall, respectable-looking man, who described himself as having been recently liberated from the Queen's Prison, after suffering an incarceration of twenty-eight years, was included in the list of night charges as being found in a state of intoxication in the street. A policeman stated, that on the night of Christmas eve, at a late hour, he observed the defendant in Black friara-road very much intoxicated, with his coat open, and his watchguard exposed, and he had also gold rings on his fingers. lie was accompanied by three women, one of whom walked on each side of him, and the third behind, and as he (the policeman) knew them to be abandoned characters, and that their object was plunder, he took the defendant to the station to save his pro perty, much to the annoyanoe of the women, who com plained that it was a bard case a "gentleman" could not accompany them without being prevented by the police. Mr. A'l3EciErr said that the defendant had reduced himself to such a condition from drink that he would have been robbed of his watch and jewellery had it not been for the interference of the policeman. The defendant admitted the fact of his being intoxi cated as represented; but, in extenuation of the offence, he said that he had only been liberated from the Queen's Prison on Tuesday last, after an incarceration of 28 years, owing to an old Chancery suit. The circum qlnce of his discharge from gaol, after such a lengthened imprisonment, in , used new life into him, and he in (Wig( d in rather a too copious libation, and, not being accustomed to excesses of the kind, a little overcame him, and he now regretted he had exceeded the bounds of moderation, for he had lost 101. by his fully.—lle was discharged. A MAN KILLED BY A BULL —A shocking acci dent occurred at Sneatonathorpe, near Whitby, on Monday evening—a young man named Crosby, son of Mr. Thomas Crosby, of that place, farmer, having been killed by a bull. It appeared deceased hau gone into the outbuilding to fodder the cattle, where he was shortly afterwards found dead in the stall where the bull was fastened. He bad evidently been killed by the bull, as his body was much bruised and torn by the horns of the animal. A coroner's inquest was held on view of the body the following day, and a verdict returned by the jury in accordance with the above facts.— Hall Packet. It is stated that an archeologist has lately dis covered among the archives at Chartres ninety-two original letters of the kings of France—from Francis the First to Louis the Eighteenth. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. In the present days of a declining drama, when the good old Christmas pantomime appears to be giving place to the fairy extravaganza, and the splen dour of scenic effects and magnificent costumes are supplanting the ancient harlequinade, it is not un pleasant to find a house where our old friends, clowns and pantaloons, run through the course of practical jokes and petty larcenies, at which we laughed so heartily in the days of our youth, and an audience whose appreciation of their drolleries remains undiminished by the re finements of modern days. It would not be too much to say that boxing night could not present an audience merrier or more thoroughly amused than that which last night filled the walls of Astley's Am phitheatre to overflowing. The performance com menced with the equestrian spectacle of Kenilworth, followed by the Scenes of the Circle, in which several novelties were brought forward. Among these was M.ePlige whose feat of walking on a small beer-barrel from the circle to the top of the stage, on a tram-road erected for the purpose, was viewed with mingled astonishment and trepidation. M. Ghelia also made his first appearance, introduc ing his two steeds, whose performances showed the high stage of training to which they had been brought. There was also a new grand entrée, called The Festival of Flowers, and Miss A. Bridges, the equestrian Taglioni, concluded the Scents in the Circle, by going through the Cracovienne and Ca chuca on horseback, with as much accuracy as though she had been dancing on terra firma. The subject selected for the Christmas pantomine is the Irish Legend of O'Donoghue, who, according to tradition, on a May morning, rides on a milk-white steed across the Lake of Killarney. The scene opens with the Hag of Mischief brooding over an illicit still, from which, after due incantation, springs forth the Spirit of Whiskey, the evil genius of Ireland, whom she sends forth in the shape of a recruiting sergeant, bottle in hand, to work ruin and desolation over the country, but more particulaey on the favourites of O'Donoghue, who is the repr es ent a ti ve of the water drinkers. The second scene is the Lake of Killar ney, which was beautifully managed. The nymphs and fairies of the lake are seen to glide over its bosom, followed by the enchanted Prince O'Do noghue on his white steed, who after informing them that he is in want of a pair of true lovers to end his enchantment, disguises himself as an ancient beggar and dismisses his train, who by well contrived scenic effect, which was loudly applauded, are seen to sink down into the bosom of the lake to their coral bowers below, leading the steed with them. The Prince then becomes witness of the love making of Dermot Astore, the young landlord of the Queen's Head, and Kathleen, daughter of Lord Bullfrog; and, being relieved by the young lady, in his capacity de beggar, promises his aid to the young couple. Their loves are, however, interrupted by the return of Lord Bullfrog and his motley train from hunting ; and he, to get rid of his plague of a daughter, puts her up as the prize of a steeplechase to be run next day, and " may the best horse win." Dermot, being the possessor of an unrivalled steed, feels assured of victory, but in an unlucky moment he meets with the Spirit of Whiskey who tempts him to take a drop too much, and in this predicament swindles him out of money, steed, and all. In desperation he is about to try the cold water cure, and drown himself in the lake, but is interrupted by O'Donoghue, who leads him to his coral stable of a thousand steeds at the bottom of the lake, and parades his stud before him, and gives him his pick of the lot for the morrow's race. Dermot chooses a beautiful cream-colour, with which he vanquishes all opposition, but when he is about to claim his prize the Spirit of Whiskey, by a dexterous coup de main, seizes both steed and maiden and elopes with them. Chase is given, but on approaching the banks of the lake the magic steed plunges in to reach his well-known stable, and while Dermot arrives just in time to rescuelKathleen, the Spirit of Whiskey is left to be submerged in the uncongenial element. The transformatioh then takes place and the bar lequinade commence 4. This of course is of the usual description, full of fun and frolic, and abound ing with many excellent hits, verbal and mechanical, at the passing topics of the day. The Exhibition of 1851, with the Clown's unprecedented contributions to it, the Swedish Nightingale, with the rival mana gers putting salt on her tail, General Haynau and the draymen, were among the number; and altoge ther, making the usual allowance for the first night of performance, the pantomime passed off with great success. The opening part is by Mr. Rodwell, the author of the successful pantomime of King Hal. The scenery and dresses are magnificent ; and we cannot forbear particularising the coral stable, with its long range of stalled steeds stretching for ward into the distance as far as the eye could reach, attended by legions of fairy grooms and stable helpers. The Lake of Killarney we have already mentioned, and there were several scenes in the harle quinade deserving of the highest praise. Mr. T. Henderson, as Clown, and Mr. Rivolti, as Pantaloon, throughout the whole piece kept the audience in continued laughter, while the dancing of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harvey, as Harlequin and Columbine, was repeatedly applauded. The mechanical transforma tions were cleverly designed and skilfully executed, and we cannot give too great praise to the manage ment for the spirit and liberality which has been displayed in the placing of this piece on the stage. Many opportunities were afforded by the plot of introducing Mr. Batty's beautiful stud, and we are convinced that where enjoyment of genuine mirth is the object in view Astley's will be the place first to be chosen by all the sight seers of the season. So the audience seemed to think last night, as was testified by their frequent and long-continued applause RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL. Dxc. 26.

As if a penny were not a round in embryo " Take care of the ponce, and the pounds will take care of themselves," said one; and the experience of every-day life gives to the say. ing the force of an axiom. Many a millionnaire has owed his envied position to a respect thr pence in the outset. Jacques Lalitte would never have risen to be the Crcesus of modern France, did he not entertain it—did he not regard trifles; and many a once wealthy man can trace his down ward course to penury to a reckless din-egard of small sums— in short, to a contempt of pence. Everything around us teaches us that we should entertain a proper respect for small things, as the foundation of great ones. The universe is composed of atoms—the coral reef is upheaved by the labour of a tiny insect, in the depth of the ocean—trifles make up the great sum of life itself. DECEMBER 27 1 1850. THE PROJECTED STRIKE UPON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Last night an aggregate meeting of the engine drivers and firemen engaged upon the southern di vision of the London and North-Western Railway took place at the Railway Tavern, Hampstead-road. The especial. object of the meeting was to receive dele gates from the northern division, in order to hear from themselves their grounds of complaint, and to adopt measures thereupon. In the course of Wednesday communications were sent to the engine -drivers upon many of the other great trunk lines of railway, and there were conse quently present last night, in addition to the deputa tion from the northern division of the line, delegates from the Great Western, the Great Northern, the Eastern Counties, and other lines. On the motion of MELBONNE, Nathaniel Hunt, of Rugby, one of the deputation from the northern di vision, took the chair shortly before ten o'clock. On opening the proceedings, he said he trusted that they now spoke in the presence of an impartial press, for it could not be denied that while publicity had been given to the statements of the directors, the answers of the men had been unnoticed. It was ne cessary, in order to place the matter fairly before them, that he should first read the memorial which bad been presented by the men upon the northern division to Mr. Trevethick, at Crewe. It was in the following terms : TO FRANCIS TREVETHICK, ESQ , LOCOMOTIVE SUPER INTENDENT, LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY, NORTHERN DIVISIiN, AT CREWE. " The humble memorial from your enginemen and firemen employed in your locomotive department, " Showeth, That your memorialists have lately viewed with extreme regret that they have again to ap proach you on a subject in which they feel the most in tense interest, because they plainly can foresee their future welfare will be compromised if you do not retract the order you have given out. " What your memorialists would especially call your attention to is this—that it is your wish to introduce a system that every engineman and fireman under your charge shall on some future day be called upon to sign an agreement that they must give three months' notice before they can leave the service of the company. " This alarm proceeds from your having got some un registered men to do so. Therefore what else can be expected but that on a future day you would request your memorialists to do so likewise? " Besides, you have subjected your memorialists to be fined from the breaking down of the machinery of the engines, under the impression that these breakages occur from the want of oil, while it is a well known fact by all who have anything to do with a locomotive engine that the majority of breakdowns arise from causes over which the tngitieman can have no possible control; conse quently can it be reasonable and just in such cases to attribute them to want of oil? Again, there is an order given by you that as little oil as possible might be used. By this there are two orders quite in opposition to one another, namely— " 1. Use plenty of oil to save the machinery from breaking down. If this is not complied with and a breakage takes piece the engineman is fined. " 2. On the other hand, if what you consider an over quantity to have been used the engineman is docked a portion of his premium; which is a fine by another name. It is impossible at all times to prescribe the same quantity. If that is done the first order cannot be complied with, because an engine may run many days without heating, at other times it is impossible to pre vent it. " Again, there is another description of fines which we consider over severe; for example, suppose an en gineman commits, or may have been caused to commit, a small fault, this engineman is immediately suspended for six, eight, or ten days until a committee - meeting. It he is exonerated,:still he loses his time, which, of course, fines him for that of which he is not guilty. Should he be guilty, besides the loss of his time he is in general fined 1/. This makes a double fine, which becomes very severe. Your memorislists are led to understand that you are under an impres:ion that they have not acted t)- wards you in such a manner us to render them deserving of your sympathy and patronage. Surely a servitude of ten, eleven, twelve, or thirteen years is sufficient to convince you to the contrary. The experience of such long and faithful service is guarantee enough for steadiness without binding them to a three mouths' notice. " Referring again to the three months' notice system, your memorialists, after much consideration and grave attention to the watching ever their future 'interests, most respectfully beg leave to inform you the unanimous resolution they ,have come to is this—' That your me morialists cannot think or agree to give a three months' notice at any future time. There is another point which your memorialists view with alarm. It is re ported currently over the whole length of the London and North-Western Railway that oa a future occasion, when it suits you, you will do all the injury you can to your memorialists. If this report be true, they consider it is not treating them justly, for they do not deserve it. " Your memorialists always were cf opinion and be lieved that you entertained a gcod feeling towards them, and they were always led to understand that you would promote their interests by every means in your power, as well as the safety of the public and the interests of this great company. You are aware that we have al ways been satisfi , d with the presnt rate of wages. " Under these circumstances, surely your memorialists cannot be blamed for respectfully requesting you to re consider your present determination, and once more to restore the harmony and good feeling which is so es sential to the efficient working of the railway, the in terests of the shareholders, and the comfort of the work- men. "Your memorialists feel assured that hitherto, as a body, they have maintained a high character for workino , the line with perf ec t sa f e ty so tar as they are concerned,' and it is their desire to increase their reputation and prove themselves worthy of your consideration. "A portion of your memorialists consider their case a grievous one, because they are not treated under the terms laid down by the directors, that when they run regularly on the line they were to be paid 7s. per day, and turnovers ss. per day. This stipulation is not ad hered to. "The memorialists express a hope that no advantage will be taken of individuals on account of the foregoing statements, and humbly beg, with a view to allay fur ther irritation among the men, that attention to the me. morial may be as speedy as possible." The Chairman continued—That memorial had been presented to Mr. Trevethick, but not meeting with an immediate answer, another letter was forwarded to him in a few days, wishing to know why they had received no reply. That letter also met with no answer, and a deputation was then appointed to wait upon the chairman of the locomotive steam committee at Crewe, at his own residence. That gentleman received them in a very abrupt manner, and asked them what they wanted there. Ile stated at the some time that he would give them a meeting on Tuesday next, and that it was not his intention to reduce the young hands. In the printed answer a different statement had been made. " Why did the directors wish to introduce a three months' notice among a set of men that had been upon the line since its very com mencement? What the motive could be God knew, unless it was to reduce wages. THOMAS STocxTorr, of Birmingham, said, many men had been a great number of years upon the northern division. They had never asked for an ad vance of wages, and if there had been any little matter of dispute they had always arranged it comfortably; and he asked whether 11 or 12 years of faithful ser vitude was not a sufficient guarantee for the direc tors, without wanting to insist upon the three months' notice ? They considered that the system proposed was calculated to do a serious amount of evil to the general body, and they had therefore made a serious appeal against it. At last, when they did get a de cided answer, he fancied that it was in the press before the men received it. Ile asked, was that justice to the men ? They had not the slightest incli nation to enter into a paper war with their superiors. That was far from their intention. They on their part wanted to settle the thing amicably and quietly, while on the other hand the enginemen had been re presented most unjustly. He had noticed a para graph in the Morniflg Herald, which for the honour of Birmingham he was bound to contradict. The managing committee of the locomotive enginemen and firemen met in Birmingham, and in the para graph he referred to it was stated that there were a few dictating spirits in Birmingham who had the sole control of the matter. It was added that they had sustained a 'ery heavy blow in the recent strug gles on the North British and the Eastern Coun ties, and it went on to say that, in order to retrieve their lost laurels, they had determined to carry out a general strike upon the first line that would not submit to their dictation. Now, he denied that th e managing committee of Birmingham had anything to do with the strike upon those two lines. In fact, they had never been communicated with or consulted upon the matter. IlAnnfs, one of the late employes of the Eastern Counties, observed that when they spoke of combina lions they existed as much among the masters as among the men, for wherever he had gone to seek employment he had been met with the charge that he had struck against Mr. Gooch. He maintained that all the men that were out on the Eastern Counties were " still stanch." MELISONNE, of Wolverton station—l want to know, Mr. Chairman, before I say anything, whether it was your intention to make a strike ? The CHAIRMAN—DO you mean a sudden one, or sending in a 1(.0 notice ? MELBONNE—Is it a threatened strikc• The CHAIRMAN said he did nut know what autho rity either the directors or the press had to say that they wanted to make a sudden strike. MELBONNE—I want to know from you, as repre• sentative of the men on the northern division, what it is your determination to do ? Then we shall be able to know how to proceed. The CHAIRMAN—aII case the thing be not settled amicably between the masters and the men, I believe they will be ready to resign their situations, but if this meeting can suggest a better plan for working the line, or meeting the directors in, any way, I am no advocate fur strikes or anything of the sort; but it is very hard to be tampered with. MELBONNE—That's not a final answer. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, in case it be not arranged, they are waiting for the decision of this meeting. They ore fully bent on not standing to the three months' notice. MELBONNE—DO your fellow-workmen i❑ the northern division expect that the men in the southern division will turn out along with you in case of a turn out? The CHAIRMAN—I really believe that they are la bouring under that idea. hiELBONNE—Then now we know how to work. I can say, as one individual sent up this evening as a delegate from Wolverton, that I am instructed to tell you that they would not " turn out" at the present time along with the men of the northern division ; but whenever a three months' notice is issued out on the southern division they will make an objection to it. That is the opinion of the men at Wolverton ; so it is at Banbury. It behoves you men of Camden to come to some understanding whether you will stand out or go on. I should like to know whether there are delegates from Birmingham, Rugby, Peterbo • rough, and Northampton ? I have looked round, but can see none. SIMPSON, engine-driver on the Great Western— Fell() w workmen, I can see no inconvenience arising from the three months' notice—not particularly so—if it should be signed by the parties, and the masters willkgly agree, if the men get bonifide employ mew - , to quit them at a week or a fortnight if they wish. As I am informed, if the men will propose for a month's notice on each side, it would be splitting the difference, meeting them half way, and I think actu ally they would agree to it. To come to the conclusion to advocate strikes is only to advocate a rod for our own backs, and must prove a great disadvantage to the whole body of enginemen. We have had evidence of this throughout, and I believe the Eastern Coun ties strike might have been prevented if they had ad hered to wise and good counsel. The more strikes there are the worse, for ourselves, for we always find a certain set of men who have no character while things are straight, but who are taken on to supply the places of honest men if a strike occurs. A strike, therefore, throws respectable men out of situations, and I know many men who, though insufficient, are depending on what they think our over-sufficiency. Had it not been for a few men on the Eastern Counties whom I know to be as good men as any in England, I would not have given a farthing to their support ; and I know that they were dictated to and led away by bad counsel and by the advice of men who ought not to be relied upon. If you take bad counsel here I fear you will fall into the same dilemma. You will throw men on our benevolence again, and we can't afford to support them out of our pockets. I believe strikes can always be avoided if proper precautions are used. Whenever we have had a grievance on the Great Western we have made our appeal to Mr. Stephen Gooch, and we have either had it redressed, or partly so. Then, again, look at this—Last May 12 months we had certain men out of employment; we solicited all the lines in England ; little was contributed but what we gave ourselves, and we had to keep them upwards of 12 months out of our own pockets. I for one will never advocate a strike, because I think things can be ami cably settled without it. I am sure if a month's notice were proposed to the directors, that they would sym pathise with you and agree to it. I don't believe there is a man on the Great Western who would advocate a strike if he possibly could get out of it. Halms, after vindicating the course taken by the men of the Eastern Counties, stated that as regarded meeting the directors half way, as proposed by Simpson, he should be happy to see the thing effected if it could be carried out. SIMPSON said, he had been 11 or 12 years on the Great Western. A month's notice had always been the rule there. It bad worked uncommonly well, and there was never any fault found with it as far as he knew. HALL, of Camden-town station, and others, having stated that they also should be happy to meet the di rectors half-way, so as to mend the differences be tween the directors and the men, SIMPSON caked if there was not a letter expressive of the opinion of the men on the North-Western line at Bedford. The CHAIRMAN said there was such a letter in the room. It was as follows : " Fellow• workman,—We received your letter this morning, requiring the attendance of one of the men from Btoiford at your meeting this evening, but it will be impossible for any one of us to attend, as we are all at work together. With your permission, we will give you our opinion upon this very serious and important matter. In the first place, it will require all the care, wisdom, and forethought which it is possible to bring to bear upon the matter before you take any decisive steps. Look well at your position—know whether you are weakest or strongest; do not' run hastily into trouble without first knowing the power you have to meet. Look at the consequence of losing, and the ruinous result of a defeat to so many families; and we think you will see how desirable it is that the matter should bo amicably arranged without such a desperate struggle as we had before. We know well how determined men in the po sition of directors are not to be beaten by those under them; and they can better afford to lose than we can. Mr. Carr Glyn has always been favourably disposed towards nP, and we think that with mild measures we shall best support and assist our fellow-men ou the northern diviion. Let the men on the southern division act as mediators on behalf of the northern men. You must take into consideration the great number of new firemen that have been put on lately, and upon whom you cannot depend. Remember the power the directors have to stop a great number of the trains, the assistance they can get from the guards, and the most important fact, that the press and public opinion are on their side. Take all these things into your considera tion before coming to a decision. Tho men must not be deserted; but let us endeavour to support them in such a way as to secure the interests of all. " We remain, yours faithfully, " TIM ENGINZMEN ♦ND FIREMEN ♦T BEDFORD " Dec 26." STATION. HALL moved, and STOCKTON, of Birmingham, seconded the following resolution:— . " Tnat this meeting, knowing the desire the engine men and firemen engaged on the London and North- Western Railway hare to keep on friendly terms with their emplo)ors, and to avoid the inconvenience to the company and the public from sudden strikes, do recom mend to their fellow -workmen throughout the line to consent to the establishment of a month's notice instead of a fortnight, as hitherto. That if the directors, in ac cordance with their expressed intention of not interfering with the present rate of wages, will be pleased to pass a minute of the board guaranteeing the men now em ployed, or to be employed, during three years from this time, from any reduction of wages. or increase of their daily labour, it would be very thankfully received; and that this meeting be adjourned to obtain the opinion of the men of the various districts on this proposition." The resohition was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated at a late hour. SHIP NEWS. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Messina, Dec. 12. We have now free pratique both from Malta and England.
