THE 11-AuEs MOITHENT.

The strike of the dyers at Manchester is daily as-
suming a more desperate character, and cases of violence
are reported almost daily. On Monday evening Mr. Crab-
t►ee, a master d sr, had a Lugs paving stone thrown at him
*UK passing a ong Ancosts-street, and has since offered a
risme of 201. for the discovery of the offender. A respect-
ably dressed woman was brought before the magistrates
also yeste►day for throwing at the son of an operative dyer,
sad calling him " anobstiek." The magistrates are re-
solved to do their utmost to check such proceedings, and
committed the woman to hard labour for fourteen days. The
following placard issued by the trades union of dyers
bespeaks their determination not to hesitate even at extra-
ordinary means to deter workmen from accepting work at
the shops of the proscribed masters.
"Caution.—The dressers, dyers, and finishers from the
country districts are hereby cautioned against taking the
situations of the Manchester dyers, who are now on strike
for an advance of wages of Gd. per day."

. .
" By order of the Dyers' Council,
" THOMAS Witvsrr, President.
" Jolts Teua, Secretary."
Ise an address to the public the dyers only justify one of
the acts of violence hitherto charged against them, deny-
it; the others. The charge of attempting to burn down a
dye•house they eharaeteri•e as a " dodge," which no one
credits, resorted to for the sake of counteracting public
sYlxfsathy towards them. They have now been on strike
eleven weeks, sad have only received 2,000/. in subscrip-
tions, but declare their int.ntion to persevere, &scribing
the operatives with which their late employers are now
rapidly filline their workshops as " a few hundreds of
worthless, half-starved wretches, got together by decep-
h in, bribery, and other means, whose average wages will
my their employers not less than 30s. per week (i.e., much
in excess of the prices the turnouts dem►nded), because 94
out of evi ry 100 are incompetent to execute the work."
They psis, the wisdom of the master skein dyers, who
have raised their hands 1.; per cent., whil►t the lustian-
djers have tad no advance for twenty years past.

Prol:►llLE LOSS 01 LlFE.—Yesterday
moment a fire, which there is no doubt will be attended
fatal re.ults, ►rake out in the premises numbered 6,
Larlotte-huildiari, Gray's•inn-lane. It appears that the
boom RSA I,'t out in separate tenements to various families,
and tlis front room, second floor, was occupied by an old
man narne,l Cornelius Carroll. The fire broke out in 'his
room, and was confined to it, very little damage being
done to property, but the =unmet was so severely burned,
IL: no hopes are entertained of his recovery.
