STRIKE OF RAILWAY PORTERS AT
LP; ER POOL.

-- -
The strike among the porters of the London and
North Western, the East Lancashire, and the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railways, his assumed • more serious aspect.
As wee stared on Thursday, the goods porters at the Wap-
ping and Great Howard street stations returned to work,
on receiving • promise from the superintendent that their
demandehould be seceded to, via., that their wages should
be advanced at the rate of about 6.1. a day. Subsequently,
however, a bill was issued, and freely pasted in the town,
containing the following annimmeement:
" London and North Western Railway.—Wanted, 500
men, able-bodied porters, between the ages of 20 and 3.5
years, who have been used to loading and unloading goods.
Permanent wages, at the rate of 21s. per week. Hours,
from 6 a.m. to 7 p m., and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.—BßAtTli•
WAITE rooms, Goods Manager."
In consequence of this announcement all the porters en.
gaged in the goods department of the London and North
Western Railway again struck nn Thursday morning. Soon
afterward, a notice was posted on the railway gates, stating
that " The men who had struck work had not only forfeited
their wage*, but were liable to three months' imprisonment
for violating their written agreement to •bide by the
printed rules and reguletions of the company, which were,
that they should not quit the terrier of the company with-
out giving 14 days' previous notice." This was also signed
" Braithwaite Poole."
Yesterday morning about fifty strange men were taken
on as ports.., and the clerks were requested to assist them
in checking the goads. All who refused to do so were dis-
charged. The hreaksinen employed at the tunnels commu-
nicating with the stations at Liverpool also struck yesterday
morning. This was considered mon serious than even the
strike of the porters, as their positions form the key to the
traffic They are satisfied with the wages they receive—
via., 30s. • week, but have demanded that they shall be
paid 2a. 6d fur Sunday work, and shall be furnished with
working clothes, as are the breakemen employed at the
London and Birmingham stations.
An aggregate meeting of the labourers was held at two
o'clock on Thursday afternoon, at the King's Pierlicad, for
the purviot of hearing the statement of a di put..tion which
had been appointed to wait upon Mr. Poole, and to decide
upon the steps to be pursued in reference to the strike.
The chairman stated that the deputation bed been unable
to meet with that gentleman, but they had seen Mr. Cock.
seam, the sub manager, to whom they had explained their
demands. He had stated that the directors would agree to
some of them, but not to the most important, such as pay-
ment for over-hour at the rate of 6.1. per hour, and the
dismissal of the men who had been employed in their places
during the strike. Resolutions to the following effect were
ultimately adopted That the hour of working be from
six cm. to 7 p.m., the men to lease off work when the
bell rings at the lest-named hour ; that those employed
beyond that time be paid at the rate of 62 an hour in ad-
dition to the weekly wage; that the men taken on in
their places be dismissed ; that the demands of the breaks-
men be acceded to, and they be reinstated, and that the
invoke clerks who had been discharged for refusing to
moist the new hands be reinstated in their places, before
they (the porters) go to work again ; and that no man be
fitted, suspended, or dismissed on any charge without an
Impartial trial before the director." These resolutions
were adopted with considerable enthusiasm, and • deputa-
tion was appointed to wait with • copy upon Mr. Braith-
waite Poole, the meeting deciding to remain until the
deputation returned.
TM strike is causing the greatest inconvenience to the
mercantile community. A very considerable quantity of
goods will, its thought, be det-ined at the stations, and •
number of weasels will conseauently be unable to take their
departure to various foreign parts.
The porters engaged et the joint gonds stations of the
East Lancashire and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
stations again struck at one o'clock on Thursday. Their
agitation commenced last Thursday, when they forwarded
a notice to the superintendent, stating that " They con-
sidered their wages were insufficient for their labour, and
they gave 24 hours' notice that unless the wages of the
first-class porters were advanced from 21s. to 245. a week,
and the second-elms from 19s. to 23..—the hours of work
to be 13 hours a day, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.—they would
cease work." This was followed by a general strike
on the following day On Saturday • number of new
hands from different parts of the country were
set to work; but they were found inadequate to
the duties, and on Monday the old porters were re-
called. They returned to work on the promise that their
demands should be represented to the directors, and that
the new hands should be sent away. For the purpose of
seeing that the latter promise had been complied with, the
porter employed a man to search the yards, to see if any
had been secreted about the premises. They, however, in-
timated that they should now expect their time to be re-
duced from 13 to 12 hours a day ; and that if they di 1 not
receive a definite answer by one o'clock yesterday with
respect to t'.• advance, they should again turn out.
At that hour they were informed that the director had
agreed to their requests; so that the work at those stations
has not been impeded.

We understand that Mr. Poole, who advertised for WO
hands on Thursday, received application, from nearly double
that number. The men have conducted themselves since
their turn out very peaceably end quietly, and are to hold
another meeting on the King's Pinhead this (Saturday)
morning.

THE WRECK OE THE QUEEN VICTORIA.—Tha re-
port of Captain Walker, commissioned by the Naval De-
partment of the Beard of Trade to institute an inquiry
• into the nature, circumstances, and causes of the wreck
of the Queen Victoria " in Dublin-bay, on the 15th of Fe-
bruary, has just been issued, and the conclusions he arrives
at entirely coincide with what we stated at the time of the
calamity in reference to its mums, namely, that it was
mainly, if not entirely, doe to a most culpable want of eau-
tion on the part of the of eers of the ship, its fatality being
also greatly aggravated by the ins tlicicuey of the provisions
ow board for the safety of the passengers and crew in cases '
of emergency. Lie states that "the Vittoria was lost
through the negligence of the master in not eounding,
stopping the engines, or taking t roper precautions when
the snow-eliower came on ;" also that the :conduct of the
mate was similarly blameable; and that " the boats were
noise placed as to be ready for immediate lase." He sum.
Rests further the propriety of a fog-bell being placed on the
Bailey Light, and states his opinion that the lighihoise
was not properly attended to. These latter are matters of
local moment; but the rendition of the boa's is one of gene-
ral importaace, for the state of the boats of the ill fated
Queen Victoria is, we fear, the state of the boats of almost
every one of our steamships.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING MARCH 26, 1853

X IN AMERICA.

Mr. Thackeray has written a preface to one of the
velum* of his works, recterly reprinted in America, is
which he speaks of hi. visit, his reception, the popularity of
his books, Sic., in terms which lead us to copy it—as
follows:
Oa coming into this country, I fount th it the pro-
jectors of this series of little hooks had preceded my arrival
by publishing a number of early works, which have ap-
peered under variuus pseudonymes during the last 15 years.
I was not the master to choose what stories of :nine should
appear or not: these nilaCtlianiall were all advertised, or in
course of publication; nor have I had the good fortune to
be able to draw a pen, or alter a blunder of author er
printer, except in the case of the accompanying volumes,
which contain contributions to Punch, whence I have been
enabled to make something like a selection. In the " Let.
ten of Mr. Brown," and the succeeding sheet essays and
descriptive pieces, something graver and less burlesque
was attempted than in other pieces which I here
publish. My friend, the " Fat Contributor," accompanied
Titmarsh in his "Journey from Curt:drill to Cairo."
The prize novels contain imitations, nut malicious I hope,
nor unamusing, of the writings of some contemporaries
who still live and flourish in the novelist's calling. I my-
self had scarcely entered on it when these burlesque tales
were begun, and 'topped further parody from a sense that
this merry task of making fun of the novelists should be
left to younger hands than my own ; and in a little book
published some four years since, in England, by my fiends,
Meson. Heaney and Shirley Brooks, I saw • caricature of
myself and writings to the full as ludicrous and faithful as
the prize novels of Mr. remelt. Nor was there, had I de-
sired it, any possibility of preventing the reappearance of
these performances. Our publi,hers, besides the Messrs.
Appleton, were ready to bring my hidden works to the
light. Very many of the other books printed, 1 have not
seen since their appearance 19 years ago, and it was with
nu small feelings of curiosity (remembering under
what sad circumstances the tale had been left unfinished),'
that I bought the incomplete " Shabby Genteel Story," in
a railway car, on my first journey hum Bunton hither, from
a nay-cheeked, little peripatetic book merchant, who called
out " Thackeray's Works" fu such • kind, gay voice, as
gave me a feeling of frien•lshia and welcome.
Here is en opportunity of being either satiric or senti-
mental. The careless papers written at an early period, and
never seen since the printer's boy carried them away, are
brought back and laid at the father's door, and he cannot,
if he would, forget or disown his own children.
Why were some of the little brats brought out of their
obscurity ? I own to a feeling of anything but pleasure in
reviewing some of these misshapen juvenile creatures which
the publisher has disinterred and resuscitated. There are
two performances esp. cially (among the critical and bio-
graphical winks of the erudite Mr. Yellow-Plush), which I
am very sorry to see reproduced, and I ask pardon of the
author of the "Crimes" for a lampoon, which I know he
himself has forgiven, end which I wish I could rectal
I had never seen that eminent writer but once in public
when this satire was peened, and wonder at the reckless-
ness of the young man who could fancy such personality
was harmless jocularity, and never calculate that it might
give pain. The best experiences of my life have been
gained since that time of youth and gaiety and careless
laughter. I allude to them, perhaps, because I would not
have any kind and friendly American reader judge of me
by these wild performances of early years. Such a retro-
spect as the sight of there old acquaintances perforce occa-
sioned, cannot, if it would, be gay. The old scenes return,
the remembrance -of the by-gone time, the chamber is
which these stories were written; the faces that shone
round the table. Some biographers in this country have
been pleased to depict that homely apartment after a very
strange and romantic fashion ; and an author in the direst
struggles of poverty waited upon by a family domestic
in " all the splendor of his menial decorations."
has been circumrantially described t' the reader's
amusement as well as the writer's own. I may be per-
mitted to assure the former that the splendour and the want
were alike fanciful, and that the meals were not only sal.
cient but houratly paid for.
That extreme liberality with whieh American publishers
have printed the works of English authors has had at least
this beneficial result for lii—that our names and writings
are known by multitudes using our common mother tongue
who had beard of us or our books but for the speeu-
laton who hare seat them all over this continent.
It is, of course, not unnatural for the English writer to
hope that some day he may share a portion of the profits
which his works bring at present to the persona who vend
them in this country ; and I am bound gratefully to say
myself that since my arrival here I have met with several
publishing houses who are willing to acknowledge our little
claim to participate in the advantages arising out of our
books ; sad the present writer having long since ascertained
that the portion of a loaf is more astrifactory than no bread
at all, gratefully accepts and acknowledge. several slices
which the book purveyors in this city have proffered to him
of their free will.
If we are not paid in full and in specie as yet, English
writers surely ought to be thankful fur the very great kind-
ness and friendliness with which the American Republic
receives them ; and if we hope some day that measures may
par here to legalise our rights to profit a role by the com-
modities which we invent, and in which we deal, I, for one,
can cheerfully say that the good-will towards us from pub-
lishers and public is undoubted, and wait for still better
times with perfect confidence and humour.
If I have to complain of any special hardship, it is, not
that our favourite works are reproduced, and our children
introduced to the American public—children, whom we
have educated with care, and in whom we take a little pa-
ternal pride ; but that ancient magazines are ransacked,
and shabby old articles dragged out, which we had gladly
left in the wardrobes where they have lain hidden many years.
There is no control, however, over a man's thoughts—
once uttered and printed, back they may come
upon us on any sudden day ; and in this collection, which
Messrs. Appletou are publishing, I find two ur three such
early 7productions of my own that I gladly would take
back, but they have keg since gone out of the paternal
guardianship.
If not printed in this series, they would have appeared
from other presses, having not the slightest need of the
author's own imprimatur; and I cannot sufficiently con-
dole with • literary gentleman of this city, who (in his
voyage of professional adventure) acne upon an early per-
foreman of mine, which shall be nameless, carried the
news of the discoveryto a publisher of boOks, and had
actually done me the favour to sell my book to
that liberal man, when, behold, Meters. Appleton announced
the book in the press, and my eonfrira had to refund
the prize-money which has been paid him. And if he is
a little chagrined at finding other intrepid vvoyagersbefore-
hand with him in taking possession of my island, and the
American flag already floating there, he will understand
the feelings of the harmless but kindly treated aboriginal
native, who makes every sign of peace, who smokes the
pipe of submission, and meekly acquiesces in his own an-
nexation.

It is said that them only who win should laugh ; I think,
in this cameos, reader* will not grudge the losing side its
share of harmless good bumour—if I have contributed to
theirs, or provided them with means of amusement, I am
glad to think my books have found favour with the Ameri-
can public, as I am proud to own the great and cordial
welcome with which they have received sae.

ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF PISIL—The French
government is continuing to net es the discovery of °thin
and Remy, fbhersnen of the Vosges, for artificially fecun-
dating the eggs of fish. It has In particular caused it to
be practised on a grand seals at Huninguen ; and the fish
II produced by it there are, on arriving at • certain degree
of maturity, to be sent into different rivers and easels.
In the southern departments also the same system has
been practised with extraordinary enemas. It consists
in collecting the spawn of the female fish, instead of
allowing them to deposit it in the beds of rivers,
and in applying to it the milt of the males hunted of
leaving the males to do it themselves. The eggs
thus prepared are preserved until they become hatched.
The consequence is that many thousand fish are produced
from each female's spawn; whereas only very few indeed
are obtained when the fish are left to effect the fecundation
themselves, owing to the eggs being devoured by other flab,
washed away, or injured by dirt. Rivers, streams canals,
lakes, and ponds, can thus be made to teem with dab ; and
a new branch of commerce is thereby created, whilst an
abundant supply of wholesome food is obtained. The
expense of applying the system of Remy and Gehin is very
trifling indeed. These men have been recompensed by the
government for the great services they have been the means
of rendering to the public. Their plan is applicable to all
sorts of fish that spawn in rivers.
GEORGE 111. AND THE PRINCES IN 1789.—The
accounts front Kow this morning are as good as possible,
notwihstancting the Princes were with the King bait-an
hour yesterday, which is a proof that his miraculous reco-
very is not to be shaken. Lord Winehelees, who was at
Kewljthe whole time, told me that the Prince and Duke
of York, though appointed at one, did not arrive till half-
past three ; and that when they came cut, they told Colonel
Digby that they were delighted with the King's being so
well, and remarked that two things is the half hour's con-
ference which they had with him had struck them very
forcibly; that he had observed to them h4w much better he
played at piquet than Mr. Charles Hawkins, and that
sines he had been ill he had rubbed up all his Latin;
and these facts. which are &eta, I expect to hear magnified
by the Carlton.howie runners into instances of insanity.
The Princes entered the King's apartment without any
emotion, and came out of it with none visible in their
countenances. The Queen only was present, and the con-
ference lasted half-an-hour. I have not heard as yet ; but
conclude 'hey were both rioting, —, and drunk last
night at the masquerade, as they were at one a week ago;
the truth is, that they are quite desperate, and endeavour
to drown their cares, dissppointrnents, and internal
chagrin in wine and dissipation. The Duke of York pla •
much at tennis, and has a Wore with all the blacklegs ; and
in the public court tells them they shall ell be paid as soon
as his father can settle with him come Osnabarg money
which he owes him.—The Duke of Buckingham's "Cowl
