ANOTHER STRIKE IN WOLVERHAMPTON.

Yesterday about 400 of the operatives in the
ladkliag trades of Wolverhampton turned out for an ad-
vance of wages. The sections interested are the brick-
larn.phistemers, sad labourers. Prior to Jtttse last the
brickla,yensad plasterers received 4s. • day, hot since that
time they lave received 41. 4d. In January they gave
notice that they should require • further 2d. a day on ►ad
after yesterday, and the labourers, who mince June, when
they tee got an advance of 2s. a week, have been receivin4
17s. • week, also required an increase to Its. At the slime
time they all required their time to ho reduced
llok to t 9 hours a week. Simultaneously with the
branches named the masons and carpenters also gave notice
of their intention to demand a rise of from, masons, 265. to
Vs., and carpenters, from 24e. to 23e. a week. The touters,
on receiving the notice from the men themselves, gave theta
notice that they should reduce their wages to the level ►t
which they were before June, when the morose and carpen-
ters also received as advance of 2s. a week, and that they
should also require them to be two mile• us the road
towards their work at 6 o'clock in the ntorning instead of
one mile as hitherto, The employers. however, have given
the masons and carpenters the rise they demand, the men
an their pert seeedias to the requirement respecting the
two miles. Jo regard to the brieklayers, plasterers, and
labourers, the misters have offered to withdraw their notice
if the men will withdraw theirs, hot they require the two
miles to be observed. The men withdraw their application
for a decrease of half an hour a week in their time, hut
refuse to consent to the two miles or to withdraw their
notice, and have resolved to continuo the strike till the
masters yield.

Graham, from Portland (Maine), on the 20th
April, has arrived here. She landed all mails
except those for Liverpool.
The Kedar arrived at Halifax on the 18th, and
the Niagara on the 10th April.
Virginia had seceded.

The Governor had issued a proclamation recog-
nising the Southern Confederacy. This news wax
received with great rejoicing in the South.

North Carolina had seized the forts in the State,
and all the Slave States appeared to be arming in
defence of the South.

Virginia had closed Norfolk Harbour by sinking
vessels at its mouth, in order to prevent egress from
the Navy-yard.
A Federal ship of war threatened to level the
town if the obstructions were not removed.

President Lincoln had iasued a proclamation de-
claring a blockade of all the porta in the seceded
States.

Troops are arriving at Washington from all
points.
A Massachusetts regiment while going to Wash-
ington was attacked in Baltimore by the mob : 11
were killed on both sides and many wounded.
Martial law had been proclaimed at Baltimore.

Govemm Hicks declined to allow the Federal
troops to pass through Baltimore, thereby causing
great indignation in the North.
The Massachusetts regiment reached Washington
on the 19th.

The Federal government will condemn as pirates
all privateer vessels which may be seised by Federal
ships.

No more provisions or arms were allowed to go
South.

On the 18th ult. the Federal Commissioners at
Harper's Ferry, being pressed by 1,000 Virginians,
destroyed the armoury, arsenal, manufactory,
building, and 15,000 stand of arms. They then
retired into Pennsylvania with the loss of three

BELGIUM.

Disturbances of a serious nature have taken place
at Gaud (Ghent). The workmen of MM. Pennon-
tier, Van Hoegarde, and Co., weavers, having
struck, the firm replaced the strikers by hands
from the country. These new hands were insulted,
pelted, and otherwise annoyed by the recalcitrants.
Messrs. Parmentier and Co. issued placards offer-
ing 15fr. per week and upwards to good hands.
These placards were all torn down, and it was ne-
cessary for the police to interfere.
The Journal de Gond says :
" On Sunday last matters took a more serious
turn. Large bodies of weavers assembled in the
vicinity of the establishment of Messrs. Parinentier,
and ooming upon that gentleman and his clerk,
assailed them in the most brutal manner. It
was with difficulty they escaped with their lives,
and found a refuge in the house of M. Calder.
The treatment they received reminds us of
the worst days of our revolutionary epoch.
The mob then proceeded to the manufactory, which
was occupied by the police, and pulled down the gate-
way and iron railings. The police were compelled
to use their weapons, and various persons were
more or less seriously wounded. A great number
of persons have been arrested."

Two other strikes took place the next day. The
police and gendarmerie were called out. Women
and girls paraded the tdreets singing. On Monday
evening matters slummed so serious an aspect that
it was found necessary to call out the military.
According to the last accounts the strike continues.

SPAIN.

The late insurrectionary movement at Loja, in
Spain, is explained by the semi-official Correspond-
encia of Madrid as "partly republican and partly
protestant ;" and the same journal adds that a
number of domiciliary visits made for some time
past in various parts of Spain had no other motive
than to check the progress of protestantiam. The
Dibats considers the explanation so given as any-
thing but satisfactory, and declares its intention of
waiting for more ample information before crediting
the assertion that proteatantism has suddenly taken
on itself to intervene in Spanish affairs.

The followiug in the account of the Correapond-
:

The CaptaimGeneral of Grenada, in a telegraphic des.
patch addressed at midnight to the Minister of War, states,
in accordance with the report made to him by the Ak•de
Corregidor of Loki, that twoor three hundred ow had re-
belled, adding that a score of these men oa horseback, and
headed by Rafael Perez, a farrier, had cut off the tek-
graphic communications between Grenada and Lola.
Prompt and energetic manna have been taken
that the rebels should be pursued without in-
termission by the troops of the line and the
civic guard. These &eta are confirmed by the Madrid
Amen& Towards midnight telegraphic despatches were re-
mind from MaaAlmeria, Cordon, Seville, and other
parts of the province of Crenada, announcing that at all
the other point' tranquillity had not been disturbed. The
exclusively democratic movement which has taken place
around Loja appears to have had on the one hand a polici-
ng character, and on the other a religious protestant motive.

The plaintiff in this case had been superintendent of the

company is owe capacity and mother for upwards of twenty
years. In May. IMO. he was dismissed, in sonsequence of
some trifling complaint, and received three moans notice
of dismissaL At this time his salary was 230/. • ear and
he had some other advantages. In June the pinintiff ;rote
to the company asking that the three months notice might
be allowed to run from June instead of May, and this the
company was willing to agree to, but upon certain toms,
to whisk the plaintiff did not accede. Thu plaintiff now
claimed damages, alleging that his engagement was for a
year, sad that he should not have been dismissed except at
the expiration of a year. It appeared that the plaintiff was
engaged at • yearly Wary, and nothing was said about the
period for which he was engaged.
Mr. Cole appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant
Pittfor the defendant.
noel were heard pro and con upon the question
whether what had paired amounted to • yearly living or
not. and at length the jury found for the defendant..
His Lordship said the question involved was one of con-
siderable importance, affecting, as it did, the engagements
of spent number of servants ; and, if neceseary, be would
reserve leave to move the court upon the matter if it should
tars oat to be • questicn of law. He, however, suggested
that the best course would be for the parties to consent to
• stet processes, the defendants undertaking not to ask the
plaintiff for costs.
Ultimately this arrangement was admitted to, and • stet

by the Abbi Cochet on the site of the old chapel of St.
Monks of CandecOte, near the citadel of Dieppe, bare led
to the discovery of thirty-five gold colas, of the intrinsic
value of 375 f., of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the

with the heeds of Louis XII., Francis 1., Henri 11., and

Bt. Bartholomew. Another discovery of coins still more
ancient has also been made at Dieppe within the last week.
Just where the river forming the port flows into the sea, ten
04 coins were found under the shingle, and six of them

THE CHANCELLORSHIP.

CAMBRIDGV., Die. 90.

It is stated here to-day, and that on authority,
that Lord Palmerston hes positively declined to allow him-
self to be put in nomination for the Chancellorship of the
University. The conservative party are unauhnously ib
favour of the Duke of Bunlevel, and there is no doubt that
his grace's name will be put prominently forward when the
proper time arrives. The Duke of Devonshire is now men-
tioned by some of the liberal party, but though then an
be no doubt of his grace's eligibility fur the post, he is High
Steward elect for the borough, having been unanimously
appointed by the Town Council to succeed the late Lord
Macaulay. His gran has not yet been inaugurated, but it
will easily be eels that the °Son of High Steward of the
borough and Cheatienee of the University are incompatible
—his grace meld ad hold both. It should he repeated,
however, that no positive steps will be taken till after the
interment of the Priem Cowart.

CtrrroN SUPPLY AMIKICIATION.—The Peninsular
and Oriental Steam It Company are rendering
valuable aid to the mime of the Cotton Supply Associatiou,
by conveying, free et freight, oe behalf of the sasociation,
large quantities of cotton seed to India and Australi.,. It is
gratifying to end in the policy of an importaut commercial
body like this such a disreprd of mere selfish considerations
when an opportunity of showing practical sympathy with a
great national object presents itself.
THE PROCEEDR OT THE LATE BIRMINOILUt
MUSICAL Feettest..—At the_ quarterly board of the, Bir-
mingham Hospital, held yesterday (Friday), Yr.
T. W. Blakeway in the chair, Mr. J. 0. Mason, chairman
of the festival committee, banded in a cheque for 1.,0001. ;
making, with the sum of 2,0001, presented at the last quer-
terly board, a Wolof 3,0001. It was intimated that a fur-
ther sum would yet be received, which it wee probable
would be augmented by the proceeds of two concerts to be
given iu the Towediall, at which Madame Lind•Goldichroldt
will appear.

MURDER OF 4 LIEUTENANT IN INDIA BY

1118 SZAVANT.

The Bombay Times of November 27 publishes the
following in s postscript :

" Nuneerabod. Nov. 19

" A terrible tragedy was enacted here this morning.
Lieutenant Steward, 28th Regiment, was deliberately shot
whilst asleep by his native servant. The miscreant almost
immediately after shot himself. The act was most
premeditated. Lieutenant Steward's soldier servant
yesterday cleaned his master's fowling-piece and
revolver, which he placed in their cases. Poor Steward
attended early parade this morning, and the native took
advantage of his absence to load both the fowling.pieca
and revolver—the former with two bullets. He then evi•
dently waited till Steward was asleep, when he shot him as
I have described. The only cause that can be as-
signed for this act is that Steward, while at Ajmere,
accused the servant of having stolen fifteen rupees,
and mentioned the circumstance to the Bazaar master here,
and threatened to prosecute him. An inquest was held,
but no further light has been thrown on the matter.
Steward had only rejoined the regiment a short time since,
from Ajmere, where he was second iu command of the
Mhair regiment. He was a most estimable young fellow,
and his untimely end is much deplored by all his brother
officers. He had just passed the interpreter's examination
in Hindustani."

MADAGASCAR.

The Nord publishes the following reflections,
from a Paris correspondent, in reference to the
movement of the French fleet from Bourbon to
Madagascar:
•sassfloa which passes unnoticed at the present time ia
that of Madagascar, and nevertheless ,it is one which ought
to have great importance. Queen Ranavido is deau , her
ma and legitimate teeeeesaa tr a Roman catholic, and the
441'614re party wis► to reject him and substitute in his
place a prime who continues the old barbarous and anti.
European traditions. France has so important part to per-
form in the matter. It appears that the French squadron
has gone from Bourbon to Madagascar, and news may there.
fore be shortly expected. Would not this be the time to
strongly support the kgitimato King, to interfere in a direct
manner, as we have a right to do, with the Malgaches and
the Hodes, and to resume a strong position in that island
which duly belongs to us? With the opening of the Isthmus
ci finex, Madagascar will acquire an immense importance.

THE HspiestourraryoN OP PLYMOUTH.

The electors of Plymouth are still without an

down from Yorkshire does not meet with the iel
en inflarial portion of the liberal leaders. tis urged
that the proposed candidate, although brothcrin.law to as
actual M.P., has rot yet attained an ago at which he would
be likely to repenter each an important cuastituency r

leaders, convened by circular, wee holden at the Lyceum'.
at which Mr. Walter Illactiona attended Mr. David

ITALY.

The Opinion of Turin explains that the Ave
regiments of troops which have been sent to the
Neapolitan provinces are to replace certain otker
regiments that have boon doing duty up to this
time, and which are recalled. Brigandage, it says,
is now coseentrated in a very small number of locali-
ties, and is sure to be extirpated in a very short time.
The brigands, now pent up in the fastnesses of
the mountains, will soon, it declares, either fall by
degrees into the hands of justice, from want of
food, or be taken by force.

A letter of Alexandria, of the 31st ult., says :
" In obedience to repeated invitations, the last of which is
said to have come in peremptory terms, Said Pubs has
left for Constantinople, to pay the customary homage to the
new Sultan. In his present mood for economy the Viceroy's
unwillingness to undertake the journey may fairly be attri-
buted to its enormous espouse. He has been obliged to pro-
vide himself with a large amount of ready cash, cud it is
believed that the wretched system of largess's which pre-
vails at the Turkish capital will subject him to rentritat-
tioas to as amount of little short of 200,0C3/., levied by all
with whom be comes in contact, from the highest person-
ages down to the lowest servants of those whose hospitality
he may have to accept. His highness sailed from Alexandria
last week is the steam frigate Siagtoet-el-liabr, cud was
expected to be absent some 20 or 25 days."

On the 29th ult. three men, whose names an,
given in the papers, were executed at St. Petersburg by the
knout—or rather say they were dogged, and died under the
process, the punishment of death Jenne nu piece is the
c,de of Russia. The Tidies' were murderers sod robbers
and were soldiers on furlough--a set who it would seem
fund& the greater number of the wont of criminals in
Barka They were subjected to eighty and ninety lashes
respeetively. _

LIFE IN CAPRERA.

Tho Mori/mato gives the foliowiug description of
life in Camera, under date of Sept. 2:
" Garibaldi is improving in health every day. On the
morning of the 31st of August lie win able to leave his bed.
His first business was to pay • visit to his little farm, and
to dismiss, with many thanks, the two persons who kept
guard over his person-s guard which he said be believed to
be unnecessary, u he bad so many friends around him.
Gel. Trecchi is with him os a visit, and with no official mission.
Letters from the island enable us to give a strong denial
to the report that a perfect understanding existed between
gicaeoli and Garibaldi. The general is not at present
engaged on political affairs. The island, since the arrival
of his Teretita has become a very pleasant spot. Garibaldi
is more gay than tonal, and be communicates his own joy
to his guests. The day is 'peat in promenades, reading,
baths, and boating. Is the evening the family assemble in
the saloon. Speochi plays the piano ; Termite sings ; and
the general calls for those airs which are most deeply im-
puted as his memory. As this quiet family life is deer to
his heart, he intend+ sending for his second son, Ricciotti,
wise is at present in Switaerised. At his father's request,
Iffinetit, his eldest son, has just embarked on the postal
boat far Geom. Garibaldi is much gratified at the long
list of reward+ which have been conferred on the +dicers
and soldiers of the volunteer army which he commanded."

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

These gardens are rapidly approaching com-
pletion. The great cascade and the fountains at the ends
of the canide are nearly finished. Several additions to the
embellishments have recently been made. Four lovely
allogorical statues, executed in terracotta, representing
strength, temperance, justice, and truth, which were lately
presented to the society by H.R.H. the Prince Consort, are
being placed on pedestals at the sides of the eltrance and
exit of the maze. They are designed in a sitting posture.
Strength is emblematised by • female with • very charm-
ing expression of firmness on her countenance. She
leans on a club, and is draped with • lion's
skin. Temperance lours • bridle ; Truth • mirror ;
and Justice rests her hand on the book of the law. It is
understood that these figures were selected for his royal
highness by H.R.H. the Crown Princess of Prussia. Two
of Ranch's magnificent Victories, nine feet in height, exe-
cuted in bronze, have lately arrived; they were designed
for hie Majesty the late King of Prussia, who, with charac-
teristic liberality, allowed the artist to repeat the work for
others; these are now being pieced on their pedestals so as
to be in position before the show on the 11th instant,
when in addition to other attractions the bands of the
Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery are to per-
form. The society have given the public at their various
shows and promenades during the past season the opportu-
nity of he.ineg and pronouncing upon the boat military
bands stationed in Loudon ; the two which are now to per-
form are more rarely beard in Loudon from being stationed
at some distance, Chatham and Woolwich—they are inferior
to none in excellence, and in numbers greatly superior to
any.
An interesting addition to the cootenta of the conserva-
tory is a case for • large number of tree frogs, now arrived.
These little creatures furnish the beat means that could be
devised for keeping • conservatory or house free
from insects. The merit of toads in this capacity is
well known, but many people look upon them
as unsightly and disagreeable, while the little tree frog is
so pretty and delicate in its form, hue, and motions, that
instead of being • disagreeable object it is an especial
favourite wherever it can be procured. They are fueed in
all quarter a of the world, and all bear • great resemblance
to each other and the leaves of the trees among which they
rest. The species now in the Horticultural Gardens is from
the south of Europe.

PARIS, WZDNIIMDAT
In to-day's sitting of the Senate the committee
appointed to examine the draft address proposed
the following amendment, which was agreed to :
" We remember the deeds of our friends of Sol-
ferino and Magenta, and it is therefore our duty
to take them into consideration."

The amendment in favour of the temporal power
of the Pope was then discussed.
Senator Casablanca, in the name of the majo-
rity of the committee, opposed the amendment, and
requested the members to have confidence iu the
government of the Emperor. He maintained that
neither the committee nor the government dreamed
of abandoning the chief of the catholic church.
Senator Bourquency and the Duke of Padua
supported the amendment. Senator Barthe like-
wise defended the amendment, and reproached
Piedmont for having followed the advice of Eng-
land and despised the counsels of France.
M. Bareche opposed the amendment, considering
the draft address was quite sufficient. He main-
tained that there was nothing to indicate any in-
tention ou the part of the government of with-
drawing the French troops from Rowe ; ou the
contrary, everything tended to show that they would
reuminthere.

The amendment was then rejected by 79 against
61 votes.

The further discussion of the address was ad-
journed till to-naorrow.
