THE SAILORS' STRIKE IN THE .NORTlL—During
the past week or ten days a considerable number of seamen
belonging to the port of Montrose have been refusing to
ship fur less than 31. per month, but these wages being re-
fused by the shipowners a strike has been the consequence.
Several meetings of the sailors have been held, and resolu-
tions formed not to accept of V. 10s., and some of our Baltic
vessels being ready fur sea, hands could not be found to man
them. The wages at Dundee being 21. 10s., notice was sent
to that port, and on Tuesday a crew came down to the brig
Livonia. This sit= to have exasperated a number of our
young seamen to such au extent that they threatened to use
force, and the authorities becoming aware of this very
foolish and dangerous threat, a strong police force was
posted on the Wet Dock Quay, on Tuesday afternoon, to
suppress any disturbance that might occur. W 114.11 the
dock gates were opened, and the Livonia began to move
out,. the crowd perhaps numbered nearly 200, but hardly
a single sailor could he seen amongst the spectators.
When the vessel moved out, about 11 boys, headed by a
man, gave a groan or cheer, and marched off the ground.
When it became generally known that the shipowners had
resolved to send to Dundee for hands, the wages offered were
accepted, and the strike may therefore be saidto have ended
where it began. In connexion with this subject we have
seen a letter from a shipowner in Belfast, who writes to a
correspondent here that he can send down as many able-
bodied seamen to Montrose us may be required at 465. per
month for the season in the Baltic trade, on condition only
that their expenses from Belfast are paid, which would
amount to a mere trifle.—Scotch paper.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT LAMBETH PALACE.—On Sa-
turday an twitted was held by Mr. Bedford, at St.
George's Hospital, on the body of Mrs. Rebecca Herring,
aged seventy-seven. Mrs. Herring had been in the habit
of going to the palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury, at
Lamlx th, and on Friday month, in going down some steps
in the inside of the palace, slipped down and very severely
hurt herself. She was sent home in a cab to her residence
in Chester-place, Kennington, and a surgeon sent for, but
he said no injury was done, that she had only been seriously
shaken. Iler relations were not satisfied, and called in Mr.
Wagstaff, • surgeon in the Kennington-mad, who at once
pronounced that she had fractured her hip-joint, and that
she had better be taken to the hospital, which was done.
She bad received every attention from Mr. Grey, the house-
surgeon, hut she ultimately died from the effects of the in-
jury. The coroner observed that but for the evidence of
Mr. Grey he should certainly have adjourned the inquiry,
for the conduct of the first surgeon might have amounted
to manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."

FLOOD AT LEWISHAM.—The rain which fell
throughout Saturday morning swelled the Ravensbourne to
such an extent, that the market gardens situated on the low
ground at Lewisham were covered with water to a depth of
several feet. The straw was drifted from many acres of
rhubarb, and carried down the stream ; hundreds of forcing
frames were placed under water, and the seedlings under
them, with the young plants lately put in the ground, must
have been destroyed. The turnpike-road on the south side
of the North Kent Railway was covered with water to the
depth of several feet. The floods did not abate till a con-
irable time after high water.
