TILE STRIKE.— This unfortunate dispute still
"drags its slow length along" without seeming to
promise anything like an immediate termination. The
Employers' Association still adhere to their " declaration,"
while the Amalgamated Engineers continue resolute in the
determination never to sign. As a matter of course in so
large a body as the Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
there are individuals who profess to Ise exceedingly anxious
for an immediate arrangement with the employers, and
who would care little about the mode by which it might
be arrived at. Some two or three members belonging to
one of the largest London branches recently expressed •
wish that overturn—based upon some °Dispersion of prin-
ciple—should be made to the employers; and, at a full
branch meeting, in order that the question might be settled
at once, a motion was made to that effect, accompanied by
an amendment, embodying an expression of confidence in
the executive council, and repudiating all idea of emcee-
saw, the latter being adopted almost unanimously—in fact,
with not more than three or four dissentient voices.
The strike hands (engineers) were paid on Saturday their
ninth week's strike pay, at the usual rate, viz , 150. for
society, and 10s. for non-society hands. The moulders,
who possess but a small accumulated fund, have hitherto
paid their strike bands the sum provided by the rules of
their society, via., ss. per week ; but, finding it impossible
that they could continue to exist on such an allowance, their
executive committee has called for a day's pay per week, to
be contributed by every member in work, for the purpose of
enabling them to increase the strike allowance to 10s., an
arrangement which will be brought in operation next week.
The labourers, of whom but few additional have been em-
ployed during the week, shared less on Saturday night than
in any previous week, the highest amount not exceeding
Is. 6d., while in one branch they were penniless.
STANDS FOR PUBLIC VERICLEB IN THE CITY.—
On Saturday the regulations adopted by the Court of Al-
dermen for the guidance of the drivers of public vehicles
plying for hire within the boundary of the City of London
were issued. The court have appointed 39 public stands
for hackney carriages and cabriolets, on which 332 vehicles
will he permitted to remain for hire ; they have abolished
the omnibus standings in Leadenhall-street, St. Martin's-
le-Grand, Fleet-street, and Arthur-street West; and in
' lieu thereof have appointed St. Paul's-churchyard and
King William-street, near St. Swithin's Church, and the
space between the Obelisk and Lombard -street, Grace-
ckurch-strect, and Bishopagatesstreet, opposite the Flower
Pot. No omnibus is to stand more than five minutes after
the arrival of the omnibus that is to follow it. Special
officers will 'mud to the observance of the rules.

UNIVERSAL GAS LIGHT COMPANT.—OR Saturday,
at ► meeting in this matter, before Bir George Rose, •
claim for 3001 was brought in by Mr. Harding, the official
manager, and 24r. Prichard, his solicitor, and allowed, on
behalf of Mr. J. Peploe, on account of money advanced to
the company, for the purposes of the company to its soli.
eitor. A claim of 301 was mentioned are due to Mr. Words-
worth, the counsel for settling the company's deed, and
that the money had been paid to the solicitor, who had
not paid the res. The muter said he could not deal with
the matter, as it was subject matter of individual action.

LANCASTER AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY. —OR
Saturday, before Muter in Chancery Tinney, a claim wu
brought in b 7 Mr. J. Cowburn, late solicitor to this um-
pany, amounting to 2,2371., and another claim by Messrs.
Cow burn and Morris, being a continuation of that claim,
amounting to 9461. They were opponed by Mr. Ernest, the
official manager, and after n discussion leave was given to
the parties to establish their right, if any, of recovery at
oommou law against the individual directors.

A WOMAN KILLED DV AN OX.—On Saturday
morning, about half•paat nine, a distressing occurrence was
witnessed by hundreds of persons near Sadler's Wells
Theatre. A large drove of beasts was being driven to one
of the lairs near Islington, for this day's market at Smith-
field, and ate of them, in passing by a fruit stall which has!
for many years been kept near the theatre by an old WOUND,
made towards it, and the owner, fearing he would upset it,
endeavoured to frighten him away with her hands. This
appeared to Infuriate the bullock,for he instantly left the stall
and ran at the woman with great savageness and forced her
against the wall, where the animal, which had no horns,
continued hutting at her in a dreadful manner. The drover
appeared afraid to go near. The bullock then again left
her, and joined the drove. The poor woman was taken up
in an almost insensible state and conveyed to the hospital,
but died during the night.
