quired from Woolwich alone, the authorities will not be
able to raise a dozen, en account of its being a military
garrison.—Kentish Mercury.

STRIKE OF MASONS AT THE NEW CHURCH, ITLACK-
HEATR.—On Tuesday night the whole of the masons em-
ployed in erecting the new church nt Blackheath, which is
being constructed at the expense of J. J. Angarinin,
struck from work, in consequence of some dispute This
io the third time a similar course has been adopted t y them
within as many mouths ; on the two former oteasieris con-
erusions having been made to their demands. In their
third experiment they have failed; the whole of thew, in-
cluding the foreman, having been paid their m:aiey and
discharged. Other 11.. i ls are now being engaged, and the
work is not likely to suffer much delay in cense-queues--

HULL AND NEW YORK LINE OF SCREW STEAM-
vits.—We believe that we may venture to assert that the
Hull company, for carrying out the New York trade. is
nearly established. Sauce our last notice we unil,rsuind
that a meeting of same gentlemen favourable to the scheme
has been held, anal offers of assistance in the furm.tioit of
the company freely made. It is thought most desirable to
try the trade at hest on a moderate scale, anal we believe
tliat two screw ships of 1,000 tons each will be found suffi-
cient. Several of the largest shippers to New Yet's, and
exporters also from that city, hive declared their intention
to support the line. Hitherto the gnat bulk of the linseed
oil exported to America has had to be forwarded ens Lon-
don, and the enormous mass of pas...naves passing through
Hull to Liverpool ma well known to all in Hull. Of
German emigrants for America about fifteen thousand
have this year passed through liull.—Easkra c...4oays

TUE MAGAZINE on board Mr. Cambell of Blythe-
wood's yacht, Claymore, exploded on Tuesdcy, iu conse-
quence, it is be:Weed, of the spontaneous combustion of
came red lights which were on board. It was remarked
by an eminent naval officer at the regatta dinner, on Tues-
day evening, that it is a most dangerous practice to have
reel lights placed anywhere near to gunpowder, us several
iimances have occurred of explosions arising front the like
cause.—North British Mail.
