LONDON BIETTING-BArrRDAY.

The Saturday after a great meeting like Doncaster
might well be set apart for settling, and thereby greatly
lightening the amount of business to be trunsacted in that
line at Tattenall's on the following Monday. Whatever ex-
pectations might hare been indulged in that at lent sours
UCOWItII would be partially got through today, were not
realised, as the interior of the Victoria Club presented any-
thing but a Inniassa-like aspect. Very few members were
present, and beyond a few strealiog beta on the Cesare-
witch, and fewer still on the CambrWgeshire, the tide of
speculation did sot go. The Derby waa not even men-
tioned.

THE COLLIERS' STYMIE IN SOCTII STAFFORD-
, SHISE.—The strike °anima's, and without nay promoct of
its tenninatioa - neither has it assumed any new plisse
dories the last 'three or four days. The men parade the
district in great force, hold large meetings, sod resort to
possible means of intim•datioo, short of actual vio-
-1 lence, to induce the men who ars st work to quit it. They
have also gone the length of urging the coalmsaters on the
Broomhilla and Caanock Chase side of the county not to
supply coal to the works on the Dudley side. So formi.
debt. a strm, or one in which so much of combination and
determination has bees manifested, has not taken place in
I this district for many years. It is a fact, notwithsteading.
that the grounds as which the mon strike me utterly unte-
nable, the wages scale agreed to by the =Mere being 6d. par
day higher than in ltt3B, when the last great strike
took place. That the men have a right to work or play as
I they please is not to be denied, but they have no right to
resort to such intimidation as lam heal practised in the
coarse of the last week, or to excite Warts of violence. The
masters, seeing the temper which the men have manifested,
Lase, such perfect propriety, applied to the lord lieutenant
I of the county on the subject, and his lonlslip has Intimated
his determioation to take any measures whieh may be se-
' °smeary to pr• serve the peace. A notice has been issued by
11•Eufght, the chief of the oomtabulary at West
Bromwich, to the effect that " large numbers of mimics hays
met together at as early hour in the morning is the neigh-
, bourhmd of the seTetul collieries, when the men were mai-
lreeding to their work, awl have then-by literally ioterfered
with sorb men ; that such meetings are illegal, and the
police have orders to stepson and being before the
in...Lustre:es all persons who, by means of such meet-
: Wee, molest or io any way obstruct such men."
i It is to be hoped that a few of the ringleoters will be laid
hold of ani punished ; that would contribute, perhaps as
moat as anytbieg, to put so sod to this, and to prevent other
I strike...which are sow so frequent in South Staffordshire se
to have become intolerable. That the men will ultimately
I have to give way there cannot be the slightest doubt, be-
I muse although the inoonveeience arising from the scarcity
of fuel will be great, there will be &sufficient supply coming
io from Dishy shire, Nottioehansehire. an other of the mal-
-1 Prodneing districts to keep the works in prsetical operation.
The strike may be prolonged for soother mouth, hut cold
I weather and want of food will brine the ties round ; their
Lthausted. and no sympathy if felt for them, end
none is deserved. The only reel sympathy is for their fami-
lies. who are starving. If the masters are only unanimous
in resistiog the meet. demand on this occasion, it will do
much to prevent soother strike for some time at least.
