MASTER SPINNERS, &c., REPORT.

WE have in this document an abridged history of the
late Preston strike, with references to similar dis-
putes of older date; one especially is mentioned
which took place eighteen years ago, and commenced,
like the last, with a demand for ten per cent. increase
on wages. It lasted three months, cost upwards of
100,0001., demoralised the operative population, and
ended in the introduction of self-acting mules, by
which many labourers were thrown out of work
besides those whose place had been supplied from a
distance. An instructive comment on the laws
which regulate prices was furnished by subsequent
events. The operatives had failed to gain ten per
cent. by combination; yet within a few years in-
creased demand for labour raised their wages more
than twenty per cent., without objection or resistance
on the part of the masters.
In the late contest a total loss was incurred of
533,0001.; of which the masters lost 165,0001.; the
operatives, in wages, 250,0001.; tradesmen and con-
tributors to the strike fund the rest. The committee
hence infer, perhaps not with sufficient ground, that
only the consciousness of being right could have in-
duced the masters to resist at such cost to them-
selves. But the same argument applies with at
least equal force to the men ; in other words, it
proves nothing on either side. The report dwells at
length, and in a tone indicating alarm, on the

THE WHITE SEA.

The combined sqnadron intended to blockade the
White Sea, and which arrived at Hammerfest on
the 30th ult., is composed of one English frigate
and nine steam•corvettes, and nine French steam-
corvettes.

Admiral Stirling has sent despatches to Admiral
Laguerre, commanding at Reunion, requesting his
co-operation to effect the capture of the Russian
ships in the Eastern seas. The French frigate
Jean d'Are, 50, was at the Mauritius on May 8, to
repair some trifling damage. She was to sail for
China in search of the Russians as soon as her repairs
were completed.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
THE only novelty, if such it can be called, this week
has been the revival of Gneceo's operetta buffa, La
Prova d'un' Opera Stria. The cast was a strong one.
Mme. Viardot Garcia was the prima donna; Signor
Ronconi the poet Pasticcio; and the veteran La-
blache, of course, the composer Campanone. Although
the performers exerted themselves to the utmost, and
seemed to amuse the audience highly, we confess we
have no relish for witnessing such a species of enter-
tainment. Nothing is more amusing than genuine
Italian humour ; but, as Italian singers seem quite
alive to the fact that English audiences understand
the Italian language but very imperfectly, they run,
for the sake of creating a laugh, into such un-
bounded lengths of extravagance that their per-
formance finds no parallel except in the buffonate
of a teatro diurno in Italy, or the comic business of
a Christmas pantomime in England. Mme. Grisi's
engagement is announced to have been extended to
eight or ten additional representations. In all pro-
bability she will remain until the end of the season.

FRENCH OPERA.
MME. CAREL has again appeared in a good opera of
the French school, La Sirene, by Auber, with a suc-
cess which quite justifies the policy of the directors.
La Sirine, though perhaps not one of Auber's most
important works, is an excellent specimen of its class,
and is replete with that graceful, expressive melody
and sparkling instrumentation which are so charac-
teristic of the composer's works. Light though the
music be, it can always be heard with pleasure on the
stage, because the representation is materially assisted
by the lively nature of the libretto, written by the fertile,
ingenious, and, we may add, incomparable Scribe.
Mme. Cabel made a charming representative of the
heroine, Zerlina, and sang most effectively. The
parts of the other principals were sustained with
chequered success by MM. Sujol, Legrand, and
Leroy.
MUSICAL UNION.
Mn. ELI.A concluded his tenth season on Tuesday
last with a very excellent' concert. The performers
were Mlle. Clauss and Messrs. Vieuxtemps, Goffrie,
Hill, and Piatti. Mr. Ella may reflect with great
satisfaction upon the result of his labours. Not only
has he for some time past succeeded in inducing
large audiences to attend his concerts, but he has
actually this year engaged M. Vieuxtemps to visit
London for the sole purpose of leading the last two
performances of the series. There can be no ques-
tion, then, that Mr. Elladeserves well of his country ;
and, if he were to engage a better second violin and
make less use of his pen, he might render his enter-
tainment still more attractive.
M. DEICHMANN'S CONCERT.
M. DEICHMANN, a young and very able German
violinist, gave a concert on Wednesday last at the
Hanover-square Rooms, when he was assisted by
MM. Pauer, Mellon, Witt, and Hausmann, as instru-
mentalists, and a host of unknown ladies and gentle-
men as vocalists. The most successful performances
of the evening were decidedly those of the concert-
giver, and his subscribers seemed well satisfied with
the entertainment provided for them.

IRISH CHURCH TEMPORALITIES.

The adjourned debate on Mr. Sergeant SHEZ'
proposed bill for transferring some 360,0001.
scraped
together out of various ecclesiastical revenuesin
land to the Roman Catholic priests in that country
was resumed on Wednesday in the House of Com-
mons.

Sir J. YOUNG regretted that a question on which so
many discussions had taken place and such large
concessions had been made, with a view to its final
settlement in former years, should be once more re-
opened for disputation in that house. Characterising
the renewed agitation of the subject as at once fruit.
less and mischievous, he examined the plan embo-
died in the present measure, and pronounced it im-
practicable, and vicious in principle. It was framed
upon an assumed condition of things as related to the
Irish Church which had long since passed away ; and
dealt with revenues either not in existence or ab-

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Ma. BucxsxoNE's benefit on Friday, the 30th ult.,
introduced a new farce, entitled Like as Two Peas,
which we have since discovered to be an adaptation of
Deux Gouttes d'eau, a French piece, by M. Labiche.
Mr. Buckstone plays a faithless husband, who en-
deavours to allay his wife's suspicions of his intrigues
by representing to her that the delinquent in ques-
tion is another gentleman, whose likeness to himself
is so strong as to give rise to the title of the piece.
This circumstance is the foundation of the plot, and
gives rise to a series of mistakes and incidents which
are highly amusing. The part of the husband is
well suited to display Mr. Buckstone's peculiarities,
and he was excellently supported by Mesdames L. S.
Buckingham and Fitzwilliam, and by Mr. Compton.

LYCEUM.
A NEW farce, entitled A Gentletnan Opposite, was
produced on Monday night at this theatre, and has
since been successfully repeated every night during
the week. It is an adaptation from a French original,
which bears the name of La Tasse Cassie, and is
chiefly remarkable as being one of the innumerable
instances of the skill with which our French neigh-
bours can make something palatable out of the
slenderest and driest materials. Mr. Charles
Mathews is the " gentleman opposite," a bashful
admirer of a charming and most beautifully-dressed
widow, Miss Talbot. The other characters in the
piece are effectively sustained by Mrs. F. Matthews
and Messrs. B. Baker and Swan.

This Society is established on the tried and approved principle
of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu-
sive benefit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate
superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually,
and applied iu reduction of the current premiums. Policy-
holders participate in profits after payment of live annual pie-
miums.
The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the
30th May, 1854, when a Report of the business for the last year
was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro-
gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1d53 considerably ex-
ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of
policies issued being more than 480, and the annual income
thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except
in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims
arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their esti-
mated amount.
The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with
the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 315 per
cent should be made in the current year's premium payable by
all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the profits.
Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first
five years.

duction :

A letter from Rome, in the Mesaagere di Modena,
states that at this prevent moment there are seven

GERMANY.

Prince Gortschakoff arrived in Vienna on Wednes-
day as bearer of the official reply of the St. Peters-
burg Cabinet. It has not transpired what this
answer is. The prince is also bearer of an auto-
graph letter from the Emperor Nicholas to the
Emperor of Austria, the tenor of which is said to be,
that by evacuating Wallachia, and leaving the
Danube free, the Emperor considers that he satisfies
the reasonable demands of Austria. Moldavia will
not be evacuated, as the occupation of this princi-
pality is a necessary guarantee for the conditions
of a future treaty of peace. If this be correct, a
war between Austria and Russia is considered in-
evitable.

The Oat Deutsche Post of the 4th inst. announces
that the entrance of the Austrians into Wallachia is
now a fait accompli.
General Coronini on that day is stated to have en-
tered Little Wallachia, from Omova, with •4,000
men; a brigade from Transylvania also passed
through the Tomiisch Pass into Great Wallachia.
General Hess, the Austrian Commander-in-Chief,
issued an order to the 3rd and 4th divisions sta-
tioned near the frontier, in which he speaks highly

conduct of Russia which has caused such a move-

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1864.

Tneanswer of the Emperor of RUSSIA to the
Austrian note has not yet been received, but
we have reason to believe that its contents
are not altogether unknown. It will not in
any way resemble those opposite versions
of its import which have been given, with
equal authority and positiveness, by English

journals of considerable character.

The Austrian note was not an ultima-

The reply of the Emperor of RUSSIA will
recognise the result of recent events, and
will indicate, in a spirit of conciliation, the
basis of eventual arrangements.
The anticipated collision between the Rus
sian and Austrian armies is at present

imaginary.
The mission of Comte LEININGEN to Con
stantinople, which was the prototype of that
of Prince MENSCHIKOFF, was undertaken
with the knowledge and approbation of the
Emperor of RUSSIA. It is not, therefore, pro-
bable that the consequences of Prince MENS-
CHIKOFF'S mission, however deplorable, will
lead to any material misunderstanding between
the two Imperial Courts.
The state of health of the heir to the Russian
empire, the Czarowitsch, occasions the great-
est anxiety at St. Petersburg. His disorder is
that of rapid decline.
The accounts from our own forces are not

satisfactory.
The anticipated attack on Cronstadt has no
foundation. In the Baltic the want of gun-
boats, and in the Black Sea the total break-
down of our commissariat, have crippled all
our operations. Admiral DIINDAS has reported
to the Government that it would be as useless
for the fleet alone to attack Sebastopol as to
attack Gibraltar ; that the great fortress must
he assailed, at the same time, by an army ; and
that the army must consist of not less than
100,000 men. It is not likely that anything of
importance will occur at the seat of war in
either quarter during the present year. In
the meantime, the proposition of an armistice
will shortly ensue.

THF uneasiness and dissatisfaction which, a
fortnight ago, we noticed as prevalent in the
political world not only continue, but, as
might be anticipated, present even aggravated
symptoms. We have fallen into a condition
of parliamentary paralysis at a period when,
of all others, energy and spirit, and all the
happiest evidences of life, were most desirable

TURKEY.

The latest C mstantinople advices of the 28th ult.
state that Said Pacha had received his formal inves-
titure as Viceroy of Egypt.
The mission of Nemir Aga (Schamyl's nephew) to
Constantinople has had the desired issue. Schamyl
will support the Turks in Asia with 80,000 men.
The communication with the Persian frontier has
been re-established.
It is reported that a serious rebellion has broken
out in the pachaliks of Karien, Mentesche, and
Aiden, and that the authorities of those places were
some of them murdered and some driven away.
The cholera has considerably diminished at Con-
stantinople, Varna, and Smyrna. The epidemic had
broken out in Adrianople, and extended with fatal
rapidity. A general panic spread amongst the in-
habitants, and they were flying from the town to the
neighbouring villages by hundreds. M. Bert, the
head surgeon of the French hospital established
there, died of choler a on the 13th ult.
The Vienna Preue gives the following anecdote in
a letter from Constantinople :
" Dr. Cohn, the president of the Israelite Consistorial
Committee of Paris, had an audience of the Sultan on the
21st ult., in the Palace of Cheragan, in which his Majesty
declared that all privileges and immunities hitherto granted
to the Christians were to be extended also to the Jews of
Turkey, ' for that the paternal heart of his Majesty would
never suffer the slightest difference to exist between the
rajahs (non-Mussulman subjects) of his empire.' "

The commercial treaty existing between France and
Turkey which was concluded in 1838, when Russian
inthence was predominant at Constantinople, will
expire in April next. The consequence of the suc-
cessful Russian intrigue was, that the terms of the
treaty are most unfavourable to French, and highly
advantageous to Russian, commercial interests ; so
much so that a Marseilles merchant has been fre-
quently compelled to borrow the name of a Russian
in order to operate with any chance of success in the
Levant. The Emperor of France has determined that
this state of things shall no longer continue, and that
France shall at least be placed on an equality with
the most favoured nations.
GREECE.

Athens advices of the 2nd inst. state that the com-
mander of the French troops in Greece insists upon
their removal to the capital from their present loca
tion, as 1,000 men have died of cholera.
The Ministry was endeavouring to re-establish
relations with the Porte, and a further term had
been fixed for the free navigation of Greek merchant-
vessels in Turkish waters. King Otho, it is reported,
positively refuses any indemnity to Turkey.
