NEW Aor FOR TAR REGULATION AND INRPEC-
TioN or Mutts—The act paned in the late session for the
regulation and inspection of mines (23 and 24 V ie., C. 111)
amends tho provisions of the former acts, and 6 Vic.,
c. 9'J, and the 18th and 19th Vta, c. 108, and extends the
inspection applicable to coal mines only to mines of iron-
stone of the coal measure. After the Ist July next no boy
under 12 is to be employed in mines, except boys be-
tween 10 and 12 who have certificates as to education and
school attendance. In certain cases steam-engines are not
to be under the charge of persons under 18 years of age.
The Secretary of State is empowered to appoint inspec-
tors of mines, special rules are to be made, and
the inspectors are to give notice of causes of danger not
provided for by the rules. Penalties are to be enforced for
uthinging the provisions of this act, which are to be re-
covered in a summary manner. The following important
section appears in the act, "The wages of each and every
person employed in any coal mine, colliery, or ironstone
mine, shall be paid to him, or his representative authorised
or deputed to that effect, by his immediate employer, in
money, at an office to be appointed for that purpose in the
special rules for such mine or colliery, and such cake shall
Dot be contiguous to any house where spirits, wine, beer, or
other spirituous liquors are sold, and every owner or agent,
or such employer wha shall pay or permit any wages to In
paid welfare to the provisions of this act shall, for every such
offence, be liable to a penalty not exceeding 101." Where
the payment of persons employed in mines is by weight,
!cc., tub account se to be taken. The act, which is to com-
mence from the 31st el December next, is not to extend to
Ireland.

THE STRIKE or FiIIALBA AT ALVA.—This unfor-
tunate, and, we may add, foolish strike, still continues,
causing •NM to the working population of the trillium of
1,000/. • week, that being about the sum which is usually
paid in weekly wages at this mason of the year. We were
at first disposed to believe that the "fillers" had a show
of justice upon their side, but having made more par-
ticular inquiries into the circumstances, we are compelled
to change our opinion. It was alleged by the
females that even working long hours they could
not am more' than 6e. a-week in summer, and about :is.
• week in the winter months. So far from this being
the caso, however, we find that 7e. 6d. to Bs. 6d. in sum-
mer, and 4s. to 6a. in winter, is about their average
weekly earnings; and there are instances of au average
wage of 75. 4d. a-week being earned all the year round, even
in canes where there has been a good deal of broken time.
One employer informs us that, taking bad hands with good,
the females in his employment have, during the past six
months, earned en average wage of above 7s. 6d. a-week
each. Further, it appears that the prioes paid to fillers in
Alva are higher by a farthing • spinine than the prices laid
in Alloa, and also a farthing higher on pee and white yarns
than the price paid at Tillicoultry and l)evonside. Many
of the weavers, we have reason to know already regret the
encouragement they gave to the female; to take this step,
and not a few are betaking themselves to Galashiels, aol
others of the bonier towns, in quest of employment.—
