This success, it is - believed, emboldened the employe's of the Impe rial Company, whose district comprises nearly the entire northern side of the metropolis, as on Wednesday afternoon, being the directors' meeting-day, they sent in a demand to have their wages raised from 30s. per week, at present paid to stokers. and retort-house men; to 38s. per week ; and even the coal barrow-wheelers demanded a rise from 21s. to 275. per;week, together with a reduction of labour per day from twelve to ten hours.. It - would appear that the managers of the r lmperial Oompany had had some intimation of what was going 'to take place,_ and they had telegraph e d t o Y or k s hi re and other places, and some 300 workme n h a d a l rea d y. arr i ved. On the demand being made, .it was met with a firm and determined negative, and all men , who expressed them dissatisfied were told that they could .at once leave may were infornied that those who did so would never .be permitted to conic on the . premises of =the company again. Some 150 meal belonging to' the.:St. Pancras works at Maiden-lane then turned out, but expressed . their willingness to finish that day's work. A number also struck at the company's works at Ilaggm , , stone. ' A previous communication . had been made .to the Seccetary.of State and the commissioner of poliee (Sir 'B.. Mayne) on the .subject, and detachments. , of police were in readiness, at the' various works, to . prevent any interference on the part ,of the turn-outs with those willing to remain or engaged to take theirplaces, and hence no disturbance Occurred Another deinand of the men was that they should have a day's holiday also once a month,, which is presumed .to have arisen from the .circumstance that the company :recently gave thorn a holiday, with con veyance and a. dinner and tea, at Epping Forest. The company also treat them most kindly, and subsaibe £250 a year to their Aid( fund. It must .be borne in mind that these men are net mechanics ; and that although the labour is severe it is not incessant, but intermittent. and they re ceive,:3&fs men e a eps;:intantdhetha litt l l t e around would r in additi on to their wages, mp en allowance of 'beer per day each haveeac hmhanna. it., their decl demands were acceded to ft i , , e probability is that the public tnli6' t might suffer, from the n in the price of gas.

Amongst the most .011 had been advanced withrespect to ganglia were, that trey constituted not only .ores of the Vanoits organs of special 'sense, but of Corn ..on sensation also ; tliat they were in Tact the seat of sensa torial consciousness, and the source of. those consensual or instinctive actions Which resulted' from senation, and were performedwithout th.l influence of a emiding or con troll ing will. Numerous facts had been brouglieforward, and arguments adduced, in support of the view that thalami optici consti tute the centres of . sensation, 'and the 'corpora striate& the contres of instinctive or sensori-motor action. The peri plicric expansiOn of the grey matt er o f the hemispheres w as connected with theie ganglia by that w hi ch on the one - hand were supposed to convey the impressions received by the sensorial centres upwards to the grey matter, so as to give rise to perception, and on the other hand to carry downwards the mandate of the wilt to the motor apparatus, , which, obeying the injunction, brou„elit into play the par ticular set of mnsclm required for the performance of the designed movement. There was no principle of neurological science which had received more general assent, or was more firmly established, than that the grey matter of the nervous centres was the source of all nervous action ; and considering the hemispheres with the light of this principle, they could not but lookupon the convulsions of the cerebrum as the seat of the mental functions,. the source of all as the medium :by physical action and voluntary power, and the white matter which,.c giring rise to thoughts and ideas, might even... n acts of the will; but when the hemispheres which impressions were . received, were absent, when there was no peripheral expression of grey matter, no true cerebrum, in fact, mental acts Rid not eke place, and the life of ' the animal was restricted toteh and of functions of Sen""l - researche s in the nervous aysteuk. had bee'''. its separate its different pertions, arid to assign to each -- 1 Peotdiar properties and .fitactions.
