THE NORTHERN TIMES.---Li VERPOOLI
_TUESDAY.

the 6th June to the 17th June. This surely gave the directors
sufficient time for consideration, and it is my firm
opinion that the serious consideration they gave, was how
they could best be prepared for all emergencies that might
follow—such as a strike—for they obtained all the clerks
and men that could possibly be spared from all the various
stations on their own and other lines, to supply the Liver-
pool stations with a staff, in order that they would be able
to do without all the old hands, and not to consider our
just grievance at all. Now, during those ten days we were
waiting, not only with anxious expectation that we should
receive that redress to our grievances set forth in the memo-
rial, but it required all the moral influence of the delegates
in preventing a strike long• before the time appointed for the
directors coming down to Liverpool, in which theywere success-
ful. I would like an answer to the following questions .
Is 245. per week too large a remuneration for 13 hours
laborious work ?
Is 21s. per week too large a remuneration for i 2 hourb'
laborious work ?

THE ROBBERY AT THE DUBLIN Housn.—Matthew
Carroll and John Boland, were brought up on remand,
charged with haying robbed Thomas Gibney, in the
publichouse of Mr. Henderson, Chisenhale-street: The
frets of this case were published in yesterday's Paper.
Tile charge was grine into again, but as there was some
doubt about the Matter, the prisoners got the benefit of
it, and were discharged.
SOME OF THE GERMAN LEGION IN TROIJBLE.--TWO
men, belonging to the 3rd Jagars, German Legion,
named Adam Sindle and Joseph Roberts, charged two
females, named Elizabeth Simpson and Elizabeth
Rigliy„ with habiog•robbed them of about £37 in a house-
No. 77,,Frederick-street. It appeared that -on Sunday
night, the men (who are on their way to Canada, being
a portion of the German Legion,) went into the house
in question, and called for some wine, and after some
time they lost their money, which chiefly consisted of
bank notes, and in order to Ore the police an oppor-
tunity tit looking after the notes, the' prisoners were

With either of these conditions the men are perfectly satis-
fied,"blit they were told there could be no agreement ou
