and the number does not seem likely to receive a speedy
segmentation, :though there are several parties who have

wage of 3s. 6d. daily has been offered in many owe. It
appeared as dooms of the claimants for 45., hopeless of ob-
taining that sum, were not indisposed to accept the smaller
amount. They could not act, however, on their individual
feelings—they were not at liberty to abandon or break up
the union—and the important question was made the sub-
ject of consideration by the collective body. An aggre-
gate meeting was held on Thursday to determine the
point, which wee debated at great length and with con-
siderable vehemence, end the meeting was adjourned
before coming to any resolution. Next day there wee another
large assemblage. The discussion was resumed, and, I=3,
