LAI3OI3R AT THE EAST END. —A public meeting
was held last evening in the Baptist chapel, Squints..
street, Bethnal-green, for the purpose of adopting immures
towards obtaining au increase of wages for the labourers
of the docks and wharves of the East End of London, the
average earnings of that class at present being not mere
than Vs. per week throughout the year. Mr. G. Mantis
(of the Reform League) presided, and warmly urged the
dock and wharf labourers to improve their condition by
seeking proper remuneration for their labour. The Sisk
resolution proposed was as follows :—" That this meeting
quite disapproves of the manner in which the dock com-
panies have dealt with the petition sent to them from
their labourers, respectfully praying for an advance of
wages, and regret that they should have thought proper
to decline to hear any more on the matter, or to receive
any deputation whatever, which we presume meant a re-
fusal to listen to the voice of reason, or to the cries of our
starving wives and children. We are, therefore, resolved
by all lawful means to bring amass before the Christian
and humane merchants of the City and the world at large,
and obtain their decision as to whether we MUSS
remain in our present position any longer, and whether
they will call a meeting among themselves at the Mansion-
house or the Guildhall to devise such means as shall
obtain for us the long sought for and longer needed 3s.
per day ; also that the servants in the dock companies
employ receiving under 11. per week, should be raised in
proportion." The resolution which was ptopored by dock
labourers, S. Moody, and seconded and supported hy two dock
laboiners, was carried unenimously. Mr. W. Creighton
proposed the next resolution, which empowered the
secretary and committee to endeavour to obtain a meeting
of merchants in the City of London, "to consider the
position of 20,000 or 30,009 men, who were willing to work
if they could get sufficient wages to enable them to pro-
sure the proper necessaries of life." The proceedings thin
terminated.

Baring to the merge ; in Tipperary, in consequence et
the death of Mon ; and at Brecknock, w coma
queues of the elevation of the Earl of Breckooeh to the

in a gain of three votes to the liberal party, counting six
on a division ; but four seats are at present lost to the
liberals at Rapt., Lancaster, and Totnes. The net lib&
cal gain is thus at present reduced to two, which must be
added to the liberal majority of 75 obtained at the general
diadem of July, 1865.
