TILE HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.-At Halifax,
two of the largest establishments—those of Messrs.
Croesley and Sone and Messrs. James Akroyd and Sons—
seem likely to try the experiment of the half-holiday on
Saturday. The opinion of the workmen is taken by
ballot at Messrs. Crossley's, and, should they be in favour
of it, the new arrangement will come into operation next
week. The subject has been discussed at Bradford,
where there is also a desire expressed for the half-
holiday.
REINSTATEMENT OF THE WATFORD VOLUN-
mmuk—The Watford volunteers were disbanded after the
Windsor review for alleged misbehaviour at the Datchet-
bridge. Indignant remonstrances and denials were for-
warded from the corps, and inquiry, was asked. The
manner in which the corps were treated by the authorities
at a local review was also the subject of a strong com-
plaint. It is now announced that the Watford volunteers
are reinstated.

MILITARY RIOT AT CLARE. —A very serious
affray between the military and civilians has occurred at
this place. The soldiers involved belonged to a detach-
ment of the 82nd Regiment, at Clare Castle. The quarrel
arose out of a dispute at a boxing match. The soldiers
took off their belts and used them as weapons. The
civilians fired volleys of stones upon the soldiers. Many
windows were broken, and considerable damage done.
The inhabitants demand that the soldiers should be with-
drawn.

NOVEL ATTEMPT TO PUT DOWN SECULARISM.-
Two or three days since a party of secularists went from
Nottingham to Mansfield to support a lecturer on secular-
ism. He took up a position in the market-place, and,
soon after he had commenced his address, one of the fire-
engines was brought into the market-place, and those in
charm of it took up a position on the opposite side of the
Monument, in the rear of the speaker, and commenced
playing upon him, his friends and the audience. The
people rushed at the engine, and cut the pipe in several
places. The lecture came suddenly to an end, and great
excitement and noise continued for more than an hour
mike-wards. A tradesman of the town had the credit of
causing the engine to be brought out on the occasion,
but thegeutleman emphatically denied having had any-
thing at all to do with the affair. However, the crowd
broke several squares of glass in the upper windows of
his residence.
