_or the convenience of carrying on the traffic in a manner consistent with the interests of the three companies. " A.correspondence has been recently published, from which it will been seen that the London and North-Wes tern Company still avow their intention to continue a course of determined resistance to agreements made by this company with the two Shrewsbury companies for the interchange of traffic in the north ; while they expect the directors of the Great Western Company, separately from their allies, to entertain proposals for being bound under penalties never to charge lower rates to the public than the London and North-Western and Midland Companies, without any compensating benefit to the proprietors of this company, so long as they succeed in obstructing the corresponding free transit of passengers and goods over the Great Western and Shrewsbury lines. " This board must deliberately decline to conclude any agreement oft hat eharacter, which is subversive of the en gagements into which they have entered with the Shrews bury companies and the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, under the existing relations with those parties. " It would be a source of much pleasure to terminate conclusively all differences by an agreement upon condi tions which can be enforced upon all the companies af fected by them ; but nothing would be more fatal to the prospects of this company than to incur an obligation which may be used against themselves, of maintaining rates while the contest between the two companies is still to be carried on, as threatened in Mr. Stewart's letter of the sth of August. " The determination of the directors has been commu nicated to the London and North-Western board, in a re ply from the secretary, dated the 15th inst., to that letter. " Your directors consider it to be the most expedient course, under all the circumstances, to do everything in their power to cement and strengthen their alliance with the two Shrewsbury companies : and it will only be in the unexpected event of failing to accomplish that purpose they will be prepared with an alternative plan to obtain other direct means for opening a route towards the north, independent of the London and North-Western Company. "The Plymouth Docks, adapted to steamers of consi derable size, are progressing favourably, and will afford great accommodation for colonial and foreign trade at that port. " Milford-haven, at the terminus of the South Wales Railway, is certain also to become a most important posi tion for the largest class of ocean steamers, which can ther_ e find ample space for every purpose, in deep water all at times of tide, with the peculiar advantage of obtainil3_g their fuel, at very low prices, direct from th e steam coal fields in South Wales. " The Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and the Australian Direct Steam Navigation Compan, via Pan ama, both having obtained their cha rters, ha ve fil e d upon Milford-haven as their permanen t harbour and station for their business. " By the Great Western act of the present session autho rity has been obtained to convert the debenture bonds or debt into a mortgage stock, or mortgage perpetual an nuities. The interest shall in no case exceed 4 per cent. per annum on such securities." The report of Mr. Brunel, the engineer, stated that— " The works for the intended junction with the London and North-Western Railway at Birmingham have been completed ; and so soon as the rails and crossings have been laid by that company, and which I have applied to their engineer to do, the junction may be effected. " The extension through Birmingham by the Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway to Wolver hampton is progressing rapidly, and preparations are made for laying down the permanent way. " The 10fxbridge branch is in a forward state of construc tion. All the principal works of the Wycombe Railway are completed, which, although not constructed by the Great Western Company, w i ll b e wor k e d b y them, and practically become part of the undertaking. The stations are in a forward state, and the permanent way is being laid. "Preparations are made for commencing immediately the Henley branch as well as a connexion with the North and South-Western Junction Railway, near Acton, for which power has just been obtained from Parliament. "The Cornwall Railway, and the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Railway, in which this company are interested, are proceeding very satisfactorily." The statement of accounts appeared in The Sun of Monday. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report of the directors be received and adopted, and circulated among the pro- prietors. The Rev. F. NICHOLSON seconded the motion. He now entirely agreed with the directors as to the impos sibility of making peace with the London and North- Western Company, and he was ready to offer them any support in the course they took with the London and North-Western Company. Mr. H. DALLOWAY said, in the statement of the ex penditure of the past half-year no mention was made of the legal expenditure. He moved—" That this meeting at its rising do adjourn to the third Thursday in next month, to meet at the London Tavern, to receive from the directors a statement of the entire Parliamentary and other legal expenses of the past half-year and to show a corrected statement of the balance in their hands." If they had looked more to the traffic on their main line they would have been in a better position. (Loud cheers.) Now they were putting forth further extensions, further branches, and new lines—where was it to end ? If they continued their opposition with the London and North- Western Company with respect to the Shrewsbury lines, their traffic in the West of England would be such that the dividend would come to nil. He though* the policy of the company should be materially altered. If it was desirable, they might appoint five proprietors to conduct the negotiation with the London and North-Western Company for a fair and uniform rate of traffic on all their competing lines. The CIAIRMAN quite agreed that it was desirable their differences with the London and North-Western Com pany should be brought to an end ; but the resolution proposed by the hon. proprietor would not conduce to that end. However, if he wished it, he would move it as an amendment. It was no fault of theirs that the legal accounts were not presented on this occasion to the meeting ; they could have no conception how extremely difficult it was to obtain these accounts. Those for the session just closing it was impossible to render, and of those for the preceding half year some only had been delivered. When the Consultation Committee sat they recommended that all their legal accounts should be submitted to a careful revision. Since that time they had invariably placed them in the hands of a gentleman who appeared on their behalf, when Mr. May, the exa miner of the House of Commons, decided on them. He trusted the hon. proprietor would not consider it neces sary to adjourn the meeting, which would be attended with a great deal of inconvenience to many proprietors. Mr. DALLOWAY said, it was a long time for the pro prietors of so many millions of property to wait, till .February, before they knew the state of their accounts. If a meeting was held at the London Tavern, it was a central place, where men of business could meet without wasting the whole day going to Paddington or Bristol. After some further discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. GILES wished to ask a question of some impor tance with respect to their small parcels. If he got one direct from the Great Western Company, it was carged _Bd. or ls., but if through a carrier it cost 3d. There was also an item of 3001. charged for light gold for the half year. In large commercial establishments they did not find anything of the kind. He should also like to know what their coke cost ? Mr. ATKINSON (auditor).-14s. 2d. a-ton. The SECRETARY said, with respect to the loss on light gold, the directors had taken it into their consideration. One gentleman had offered to take it all, but he would not comply with the condition necessary for removing that gold from Paddington to a Welch bank in Wales. With regard to the parcels, if carriers charged 3d. or 4d. it was true they might do the same ; but, instead of re ceiving 800/. a-week, they would receive 2001. a-week. Every inquiry had been made to prevent the frauds practised by carriers on the company, but they could not adopt a better course than they did, and that was, to maintain their incomes by moderating their rates, so as to get the best portable parcel traffic and leave carriers those not requiring rapid delivery. Mr. GORE asked if there was any objection to state the coat of the branch from Frome to Weymouth ? The CIIAIR3IAN—About 600,0001. or 700,0001. and'],_'hae report of the directors was then read and adopted, _., dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year ending the ResolutiewiliNvereal zott of June last was declared.

The meeting was then made special, and a resolution f the Great passed by w hich, under the provisio ns the o f 1853, directors were empowered to convert debentures of an amount not exceeding 4,000,000/. into mortgage stock or notes, and to fix the interest not exceeding the interest speci fied in the act on that spck and notes, and to do any other act to give effect to the same. It was then agreed, t hat the following correspondence_ should be taken as read , and that it should be printed for circulation among the proprietors : " Great Western Railway, London Terminus, Paddington, Aug. 15, 1853. " Dear Sir ? —Your letter to me ! dated s th in stant, to gether with the resolution of your directors, which accom panied it, approving Captain finish's refusal t o meet representatives of the Shrowsbury Companies, when pre sent at th e con f erence here With Mr. Joseph Sanders, of ult., has been sub Company, the Midland Railway rectors u tts e tr i n t e o t 9 6th and himself, on the -, "The di circurnstanc;:s of V'TUP°TI wish here to enter my board. that they have no a controversy as to the nature or tinction or dissiiniTaarft3 quite at a loss to perceive the dis bc partici, ; but thz eements to which either company may th e o London and North;vfortelnivhich you contend, between one hand, and the Gre e 2t IV and Midland Affiance, on Western and Shrewsbury, on th character of the traffic relaf.tions between both is , the other. obviously identical. The object sam e, and the interchange of business each m - ti 4 a b l e liaZe z i y s en the two o t pe he . naive in both instances. " You represent that the distinction between eases arises from the London and North-Wes tern pany never having recognised the Shrewsbury a , reen om i .: with this company ; but it can scarcely be affirmed'that7suenCh recognition was required to give vitality to arrangement s for the transmission of traffic to and from Wolverham p ton ; and if it were so, the consent of this company must, at ~,_~, . ~Y~`„~; ell THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1853, all events, be equally neeiful to recognise any similar ar rangements of your company—an idea which has never been suggested by any one, nor has such consent ever been given by my directors. "By the alliance of the London and North-Western Company with the Midland, the North Staffordshire, and other railway companies, they possess an uninterrupted communication by railway, not only between the north and south of England, but between both of them and the west of England, including south Wales through Worces ter, Gloucester, and Bristol. "The only avenue for traffic between the Great Western system at Wolverhampton (where our line unites with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway) and the north, exists by means of the two Shrewsbury lines, those coin panics being independent of the London and North-Western Company. "My directors are apprised by your letter that it is nevertheless the full intention of your company to resist and oppose subsisting traffic arrangements between the Great Western and Shrewsbury Comp anies, and your company is known to be endeavouring to obtain a cont rol over those lines. Our alliance is treated by your company as a violation of good faith, and you allude to 'recent dis closures,' &c. the practice pupo purpose alleged directorsa n here individual, to vi nc a t my ed or e ‘ d ‘ elftenisdnthoteagainst op posed to your views, of splitting shares to multiply votes, which they know to have been extensively practised by your company, when endeavouring to defeat the Great I'Vestern agreement for the purchase of the Birmingham and Wolverhampton lines in the year 1847. The fabrica tion of a common seal, in order to give pretended confir mation to the spurious agreements, was simultaneously re sorted to in that case. This has been again attempted by , the London and North-Western adherents and agents em ployed in 1851 in the case of setting up a similar instru ment purporting to bear the seal of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham. Company, in order to defeat a previous agree ment entered into by that company with the Great Wes tern and the Shrewsbury and Chester Companies. If proof be required of these facts they can be readily furnished by documents and evidence, which will show that some of the directors and principal agents of the London and North-western Company split numberless shares into the names of servants, labourers, and even fac tory children, to carry their object. When writs were issued to enforce the calls, your agents, Messrs. Beale and Colmore, of Birmingham, gave the undertaking to appear for many of them. It would be superfluous, in the face of such proceedings, to argue with your company whether the `alleged recent disclosures' of similar conduct on the part of :director and officer of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Company are discreditable, or whether or not `in violation of good faith, and contrary to the intention of the Legislature.' " Reverting, however, to the substance of the proposi tion now under consideration, my directors believe that it may be thus explained : " In order to promote ' a cessation of hostility between our respective companies,' the London and North western Company suggest that the directors of the Great Western Company shall, under a pledge with heavy penalties, undertake never to charge lower rates to the public than themselves, in order to permit the London and North-western, with the aid of their allies (the Midland and North Stafford shire Companies), to convey all the traffic which they can obtain by equal rates between places on their respective lines and the west of England, while, on the other hand, the London and North-Western Company, nominally pro posing equal rates for the traffic of other districts, are to be at full liberty to exclude the Great Western from ob taining any traffic at all, by severing, if they can, the alli ance, and by cancelling the working arrangements for in terchange of traffic between the Great Western and the two Shrewsbury Companies. In fact, they are to be free to seize upon and annihilate the only railway connection between our two systems, by which at present any sort of competition with themselves could be carried on beyond Wolverhampton. " The exertions notoriously made by your company to exclude the traffic of our districts from all places to the north of Wolverhampton, and to close up the Shrewsbury lines against any continuity of working arrangements, may indeed be very natural for those who are aiming to protect the interests of a great monopoly ; but my directors must decline now, as they have ever done, to fetter themselves, under such circumstances, with obligations which may hereafter be dexterously employed as weapons, on public grounds, against themselves, failing in the meantime to produce even the semblance of a peaceful and permanent settlement. " This board cannot consent to do any act or permit any act to be done by others which is at all at variance with subsisting engagements, and least of all will they acquiesce in any principle calculated to embarrass themselves in ulterior measures, without some corresponding Advantage to their proprietors. The directors would, of course, be glad to discover an effectual mode of settling all matters in difference with the London and North-Western Com pany, but the conditions of any arrangements must be in all respects entirely reciprocal, fair, and conclusive in their effects. The covenants must be such as can be legally en forced upon all parties concerned, and due regard must be had to the engagements of each company with their re spective allies. " Remunerative rates, as it appears to my board, may be adjusted by agreement between all parties concerned, and rendered equal without injury to the public or injus tice to the companies, provided they do not aim at exclu sion and obstruction of trade, but as means of insuring, adequate facilities for the unrestricted transit and inter change of traffic between different systems, of which prin ciple Mr. Cardwell's committee seems to have expressed, in their report, an unqualified approval. " I remain, dear sir, yours very sincerely, (Signed) " CHARLES A. SAUNDERS, Secretary. "Charles E. Stewart, Esq., Secretary, " London and North-Western Railway Company, Euston Station." " London and North-Western Railway, Secretary's Office, Euston Station, London, Aug. 17, 1853. "Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge your letter of the 15th instant, and to express regret at the very hostile and even bitter tone and spirit in which the proposals of this company for a cessation of hostilities (couched, it is be lieved, in calm and temperate language) have been re ceived by you. "Much of your letter is occupied by a repetition of cer tain charges, to the effect that the funds of the London and North-Western Company have been applied to the purchase of shares in order to defeat Great Western purposes. " These charges have been publicly and authoritatively denied ; and I feel sure my board will decline again to notice them, or to enter upon any discussions which are irrelevant to the immediate question. " On the 26th ult. the managers of the Midland and of this company met you by appointment at Paddington, to discuss the question of rates, &c., for traffic between Bris tol and Birmingham—traffic, be it borne in mind, with which the Shrewsbury railways have no connection. At that interview, however, you introduced parties, declaring them to be the representatives of those undertakings, with apparently no other object than that of obtaining an in direct recognition of the alleged agreements between those whom they purported to represent and your company. " Having openly declined, on several occasions, and more particularly when a committee of shareholders had, during last autumn, certain communications with our two boards, to recognise the existence of exclusive agreements inconsistent with our own relations towards the Shrews bury companies, it is not very apparent why you should again raise this point of difference, and especially on an occasion when the particular traffic in question had no re ference to those companies. The mode in which you in troduced the subject, permit me to sat, did not appear to my directors quite consistent with that candour which should characterise such discussions, and which it has always been their wish to encourage. " I feel sure I am expressing the opinions of my direc tors when I say, they regret that communications should take place which are little calculated to smooth the way for an accommodation of the differences existing between the two companies. Thei:offer (renewed in Mr. Stewart's letter of the sth inst.) of equality of rates, without limi tation of district, distance, or party—their willingness to treat with all companies, as free and independent agents —and the whole tenor of their communication, which con templates freedom of transit, sufficiently negative your charge of their ' aiming at a great monopoly.' "My directors entertain an earnest desire to establish and maintain friendly relations with your company, as well as with all others, on a fair and honourable basis. And while they decline to compromise the just rights of their proprietors, they will not lessen the chances of attaining so desirable an object by raising needless points of differ ence, or entering upon the wide field of discussion opened by your letter upon a variety of topics which have no re ference to the question immediately before them. I am, dear sir, faithfully yours, " For C has. E. Stewart, Sec., "C. A. Saunders, Esq." "R. SAVILE. " Great Western Railway, Paddington Terminus, August 18, 1853. " Dear Sir,—l venture to suggest, in reply to your let ter of yesterday's date, that it will be more consistent with the professions of peace which almost invariablyform the last paragraph of every letter received from your com pany, to abstain from making attacks upon those with whom you are in correspondence, than, as on the present occasion, after making an unprovoked taunt about recent disclosures in violation of good faith,' to decline again to notice charges which you affirm to have been made and authoritatively denied. "My reply to your former letter charged your company with the same practices in 1847 and 1851, some of which you had been instructed to allege as committed subse quently by a director of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, in defence of their alliance with the Great West ern Company, upon which allegation your company now think proper to justify resistance to agreements which you have, nevertheless, been resisting long before the present f " ..i Li not, in my S B al C p f li t e h d e London t (,rent western purposes, accusation the legal letter, assert, as you assume, that the they guaranteed and North Western Company have co zptalt the ei n ,a o i w ge se m t f a o d r e t h a . the purchase of shares, in order to defeat purposes, nor, for various reaso • reasons, is that the and maintained is ~e sums for the employment' of agents your ; the ies ao4t,'expenses incurred in the ef rt Pam y ( l l llla7nd defrayed fo votes • a th ,„ for ?_ agreements with thin company; y . comml n ,Y,Tr company splitshares to increase passed to prevent the -a ' was companies independent due fabricated, and resolutions Company ; me by e,performanceLondon of contracts between Com pany were driven tomeans the l t a r nd North-Western ment, to maintain them.

" In reply to your other observations I must be permit ted to observe that the managers of the'Midland Company and the London and North-Western Company did not meat me to discuss the question of rates, &c., for traffic between Bristol and Birmingham exclusively. If that had been the sole object, Captain Huish's presence would have been quite unnecessary. It was for the purpose of discussing the more general question, and when Mr. Joseph Sanders wrote to me on that L account to propose Captain Huish joining in the conference, I acquiesced ; but acquainted him at the same time . b y l e li t letter that e withl should r e r a e t q request s t,e t h r managers a ng t a te e n r a s a o t f companies in a the same conference. " I think it right to address those observations to you for the purpose of showing . that your letter, just received, has been written under serious misapprehensions. " Whether the answer of my board to your former com munication is properly characterised as ' written in a very hostile, and even bitter tone and spirit,' impartial persons must sletermine ; but they will no doubt consider, also, whether it be not an honest and just reproach against your company for affecting to charge upon the allies of the Great Western Company the disclosure of practices which your company had themselves instituted and acted upon, as well in the former instance of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway as in the now repeated effort to upset our agree ments with the Shrewsbury Companies. " Peace may be obtained and secured, but not by attempts to force agreements against the interests of others ; and my directors, firm and resolute in what they believe to be right, will not be led aside from their duty to assent to any overtures for peace unless they perceive equality, fairness, and just principles in the conditions proposed for their acceptance.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " U. A. SAUNDERS, Secretary. "Charles E. Stev - iart, Esq., London and North-Western Railway, Euston Station." A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. NEWPORT AND HEREFORD. The day for the opening of the Newport, Aberga venny, and Hereford Railway has been definitively fixed for the 4th of October, when a single line of rail will be opened for traffic. The question of a site for the Here ford station has at length been settled, and it has been decided to place it on the south side of the Above Eign, between that road and the Barton. Into this station the Shrewsbury and Hereford line will run, and a large and handsome terminus, sufficient to meet the wants of both companies, will be erected. A through traffic, from the south of Wales to the Mersey and the North, will soon be secured. Great exertions are being made to complete the Shrewsbury and Hereford in time for the Newport and Hereford, and at the Barr's Court end much activity is being displayed. The Dinmore tunnel is the heavy work now to be done. ANTRIM JUNCTION. A public meeting of landowners, merchants, and far mers was held at Antrim on Monday, to consider the propriety of obtaining railway communication to that town ; Lord Ferrard in the chair. . Mr. WOODHOUSE explained that a line was projected in 1845 for supplying them with railway communication. The capital was intended to be 200,0001., but, owing to the depression which followed in 1846, the undertaking was abandoned. The prospects of Ireland were now improving, and nearly all the Irish railways were pay ing dividends. It only required the assistance of parties locally interested to enable the promoters to carry out the undertaking. After some discussion, resolutions were passed in favour of the line, which is intended to form a junction with the Ulster Railway, and the meeting separated. NORTHERN AND EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the Bishomate station of the Eastern Counties Railway, and the usual dividends, at the rate of f per cent. and 6 per cent. per annum for the half year, were declared.

We gave a partial account of the progress of the race for her Majesty's Cup yesterday, and it will be unneces sary now to do more than refer to it from the point at which time compelled us to close, the dispatch. On breasting Old Castle Point, the Gloriana took the lead of the Shark, and, although beating up dead against the tide she continued to gain upon her, and passed the No Man Buoy as follows : Gloriana .... Shark ..... .. H. M. S. 2 54 0 2 55 44 The wind from this point was light and baffling, and but little progress could be made. When off Old Castle Point the Shark make a long tack to the northward (the Gleriana being then nearly half a mile to the windwardy, and caught a strong wind from the north-west, which brought her up nearly alongside the Gloriana before the latter vessel felt the breeze. An interesting and capital race took place from this point, which terminated in favour of the Gloriana by 40 seconds only. The follow ing was the time of arrival as given officially by the club : H. M. S. Gloriana Shark Viking 6 48 0 Great cheering greeted the Gloriana on her becoming for the second time the winner of her Majesty's Cup. As the time approaches for the great race for the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup of 100 guineas for the yachts of the squadron and the yachts of all nations, the greatest interest is manifested. The American cutter Sylvie from her trial yeeterday has only increaßed the confidence of nearly all classes that the Squadron Cup will be won by her, and won triumphantly. She is a perfect specimen of architecture, in which the minutest details have received every consideration. The following are the entries for this great prize :—' Yachts. Tons. Owners. Arrow lO2 ...

Their Lordships assembled at 5 o'clock. HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL. Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, moved the first reading of the Hackney Carriages Bill, and gave notice that to morrow he would move the suspension of the standing orders with a view to the bill passing through its several stages.—Agreed to. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table the report made to him by the gentlemen whom he had ap pointed to consolidate the statute law, and explained to the house the directions he had given to them, and some of the principal features of their report. It appeared that, from the time of the Magna Charta up to the 15th and 16th of her present Majesty, 16,442 public statutes were passed, but deducting from that num ber those which had been repealed or become obsolete, as well as the acts which exclusively be longed to Scotland, Ireland, and the colonies, there only remained 2,500 statutes applicable to England and the United Kingdom, and it was to the consolidation of these that the attention of the commissioners had been directed. During the last few months they had neither been idle nor forgetful of their duty to the public ; on the contrary, they had been most assiduously and anxiously engaged upon the work, and although it might not be possible to agree with their suggestions, there could be no doubt that the result of their labours would be of inealculable advantage. One*member of the commission had made an attempt at a digestion of the statute and unwritten law respecting distress for rent ; and another member, Mr. Coode, a similar digest as to the poor laws ; and, after having seen these specimens, he had come to the conclusion that the best course to adopt for the future was one which the Commissioners had already put them selves in training—viz., that each of them should take a particular subject. He suggested one in regard to which there was only statutes and no unwritten law, and consolidates the whole statutes upon it in a judicious and clear form, which persons not professionally ac quainted with the law could easily understand. He believed that such a digest, though it might not answer every purpose, would be of essential use to the public. BURIALS (BEYOND THE METROPOLIS) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. COPIES OF SPECIFICATIONS REPEAL BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were con sidered and agreed to. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE, &c., BILL. The Commons' reasons for disagreeing to the amend ments made by the Lords on this bill were considered. • 'Lord STANLEY (of Alderley) moved that the Lords' amendments should not be persevered in. Lord REDESDALE objected to the motion, as the effect of omitting these amendments would be to pro hibit the use of dogs in carts cm turnpike roads, which would be a great hardship to many poor persons. Lord STANLEY (of Alderley), after consulting with his colleagues, thought the objection of the noble lord was well founded, and therefore he would withdraw his recommendation. Their lordships then agreed to persist in their amend meets. CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PILOTAGE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. SMOKE ABATEMENT METROPOLIS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS' ACTS CONSOLIDATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. BETTING-HOUSES BILL. This bill and many others were passed through corn , mittee. Several other bills were advanced a stage, and their [ordships adjourned. LIST OF SHOOTING QUARTERS FOR 1853.

THE STRIKE IN SOUTH WALES.-011 Saturday next the whole of the men under the Dowlais Company will be paid off, and many are making preparations to leave. Should the men go away . in such large b o di es as i s now co ntemplated, the Dowlais Company will find it a matter of no small difficulty to get others when operations be gin. The men have behaved in the most peaceable manner, nor has physical force as a means of gaining their ends been once mooted in their meetings. A meet ing has been convened to be held in the Market-square, Merthyr, to see if means cannot be adopted to settle the dispute. The result of the strike remains to be seen. The shopkeepers will be great losers, but they seem sanguine that the demands of the men will be eventually acceded to.
