GENERAL STRIKE OP THE LONDON TAILORS.
(THIS DAY.)

An aggregate meeting of the operative
tailors was held this morning at the Alhambra
Palace, Leicester-square, attended by about 8,000
men. After hearing a report from the committee,
resolutions were adopted endorsing the action taken by the
central committee, and declaring a general strike, to com-
mence forthwith, at all shops not agreeing to pay the time
log sent in by the men last week. The resolutions, as well
as others, were all carried without any dissentient. The
meeting lasted nearly four hours.

ALARMING RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT WIGAN.

On Saturday evening a serious accident occurred
on the London and North-Western Railway, at • point
about two miles south of the Wigan passenger station,
just by the junction of the well-known Springs
Branch with the main line. Though loss of life
has not been recorded u • consequence, two
persona were very seriously injured, and many
others were more or leas shaken, while much damage
to property and NOUNS interruption of traffic was occa-
sioned. The express from Manchester to Wigan, rid
Tyldealey, leaving at 4.45, had proceeded in safety to the
spot named above, when the axle connecting the front
wheels of the engine snapped in twain, and the engine,
upon which the break seemed to have no power, ran un-
easily along for several score yards until at hat, in some pe-
culiar manner, it was thrown on its side across the up line.
The firstand second • of the train, both third class, I
were carried forward by t e impetus they bad already ob-
tained to • short distance past the engine—both were
thrown off the mile, their ends staved in and outer fittings ,
damaged, but, extraordinary to relate, though they con-
tained many passengers, no serious personal injury weg
sustained, but many were severely shaken. The
fireman and stoker of the engine, who had
courageously stuck to their posts, were the only
persons badly hurt—the first, named Whittaker,
having his head cut, his legs injured, and having shoo
lost the first and second fingers of his right hand, which had
been completely severed, while the second, named Jonas,
was cut about the face, mid ccroplained of injury to his
back. The two men were sent forward with the pas-
sengers in the four or five carriages which had fortunately
kept to the rails to Wigan, where their hurts were attended i
to, and a large staff of men were promptly set to work to
clear the line. The carriages, from the first of which the
wheels had been c'eanly severed, were soon thrown aside,
but the task of removing the engine, which was • hopeless
wreck, occupied • much longer time, though the line was
clear before the night was very far advanced. The traffic ,
was only partially interrupted, as the passenger trains
were forwarded by means of a complicated series of shunts,
the number of which at the point is almost innumerable,
as the Springs Branch Railway is the main artery of the
Wigan coalfield.

When the House of Lords re-assembles after the
Easter recess, Lord Redesdale intends moving that no
private bill brought from the House of Commons shall be
read a second time after Friday. the 14th of June.
AN AMERICAN GRACE DARLING.—Ida Lewis,
daughter of the keeper of the Lime Rock Light-home,
Rhode Island, rowed out to a distant island on a Sunday
morning recently, and rescued a man who for four hours
had been lying upon the rocks, wet from the storm, and
exhausted in body, his boat having been capsized, sad
there being no means of escape possible. The brave girl
took up the inanimate body, placed it in her wherry, and
pulled across the harbour to Newport. This is the fifth
instance in which this intrepid young women has rendered
valuable assistance to persons in peril of a watery grave.

(PROM OUR OWN coanaromprc7.l
The market u very dull and irregular, and the sales are
reported at about 7,000 bales.

TALLOW MARKET.—(THIS DAY.)
There is little business today in tallow, and prices ue
nominally unchanged.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
The supply of beasts is not quite so large as on Monday
last, although quite equal to the demand ; indeed, the
prices of that day cannot be maintained. There are a
few more sheep, and a dull trade. Prices on the average
are lower, but a fair clearance is effected. Choice
lambs are more in request. Good calves are very starve
and dear. Our foreign supply consists of 1,150 beasts,
6,360 sheep, 79 calves, and 23pigs. From Scotland, 163
beasts ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 1,600 ; and 267 from the
northern and midland counties.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—(THIS DAY.)
Messrs. Fattenden and Smith report the demand for
hops as quite of a retail character ; but from the reduced
stocks on hand, sad the continued wet weather, prices
rule very Arm at the reduction. Foreign importations
have almost entirely subsided, the stocks abroad being
even in a more reduced state than our own.
