Miss Edmenia Lewis, a young coloured girl,
was, through the assistance of Boston anti-slavery people,
strut to Rome two years ago to pursue the study of sculp-
ture. Before going abroad she had executed many beauti-
ful things in clay, a bust of Colonel Shaw being, perhaps,
the most remarkable of her works. biro has just sent to
America a marble bust of Dr. Dio Lewis, which is now on
exhibition at the gallery of Childs and Jencks in Boston,
sad is pronounced by artists to be a remarkable work. It
is not only an accurate likeness, but she bus given the atti-
tude and expression of the physical educator most happily.
We believe this is the first work of the kind sent from
Europe to America from the hand of a coloured artist.—

Dr-Pits-wow IN THE IRON Tsang.—On Tuesday
about 500 men were paid off at the Darlington Iron Com-
pany's Works, belonging to Mr. Barningham. About a
fortnight ago notices were posted at the works intimating
that the greater portion of the works, which consist
chiefly of rolling mills, would be stopped in a
fortnight, and on Saturday the greater part of
the fires were put out, and • largo number of rollers,
paddlers, and hammennen left, being informed they would
be lurid the week's wages, which is always held back, yes-
terday. In the meantime, it wee hoped that something
might be done to ,get Mr. Barningbam to start the works,
and deputationeof the men have waited upon him for the
purpose of learning his views. The reason he gives for
stopping the works, which have been very busy all the
summer with a heavy Russian order, but which is now
completed, was that he had no trade, and could not ob-
tain an order at a price that would be remunerative whilst
paying the present wages. He is stated to have asserted
that it was his belief that he could keep the mills going
during the winter if a reduction in the rate of wages were
made- that this would enable him to take orders which
were in the market. This redaction is variously stated at
from 10 to 25 per cent. Mr. Barningham is understood to
have offered to rollers 10a, per day, hammermen Bs. lid.,
and peddlers fie. These amounts have been refused by
the men, although it is believed they would not object to
some small reduction. Whether any arrangement will
be made is at present uncertain. The trade throughout
the Cleveland district is stated to be bad, one or two of
the works being already laid off, and some of the others
either working or expecting to be put on short time.—
