THE STRIKE IN SOUTH LANCASHIRE.

I The state of trade in South Lancashire will be
appreciated by a list, which we (Manchester Examiner)
fui wish this morning, of the number of hands out on
strike in Ashton, Stalybridge, l)ukindeld, Hyde, New-
ton, and the immediate districts. By this computation
upwards of 24,0(0 people are oat of work, molt of
them on strike, but some of them in consequence
of the strike. In Hyde, NeCon, and Godley above
11,C') are out, and in other places there is a propor-
tionate number. To-morrow morning the mills will re-
open for week lint • proceesion will be formed of
the men on strike, for the purpose of inducing all the
hands to strike work, an event which sill be snore
serious than even the present distressing state of
things. By the tone of the speakers at the meet-
ins, • general strike I. threatened, and then the matter will
be more set kw still ; for the support of the men on strike can
only be obtained from the men at work. ForWnately, the
proceeding, have in general ben unattended by any show of
violence. On Saturday, however, • case of intimidating
a workman came before the boron7h mapistrutee at
Asht:in. It was a very prom case, and the prisoner was
committed tabard labour for two months. The complainant
was • bolt maker, with Mr. Gartside. The case was not
directly connected with the factory strike, but it arose from
• similar misunderstanding between master and men.
The intelligence from Bolton loaves little ground for
hops that an agreement between the muter and men will
be readily completed. The Masten' Association of Spin-
ners have delegated seven of their body with full power
to oegotiate, and • meeting of operative delegates
was held yesterday, at which the whole question was
discussed, but what took place has not transpired.
It is possible, toinefors, that some agreement may
be arrived at, and ae the mills will be opened
on Thursday next, it is to be earnestly hoped
that some means will be devised to put ea sad to the
lamentable state of things which edits at Bolton. The dis-
tribution of "strike' wow lunraget the operatives at
Bolton lest week dose net slow • very premising state of
affairs. Oaly three posses got ss. each ; the next sum was
3s. ; share 1,200 only got Ili., sad 304 got 3d.

SPIrAL SIMMONS AT Cruise CRUSCII, NIWOILTZ-
AVAMP—(runi Dar.)—Today Mae Easter Monday, the
Blue Coat Boys of Christ's Hospital proceeded to the Mansion
House, where they wersJoined by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, aldermen, sheriffs of London and Middlesex, with
other City functionaries, and proceeded to Christ Church,
Ns-gate-street. The sermon was preached by the Right
Rev. Dr. Hobert Bickersteth, Bishop of Ripon. At the con-
clusion the company adjourned to the large hall, when the
report of the number of children maintained mid other mat-
ters was reed. Tomorrow they will again go the Mansion
House, and be regaled with • bun, • glee of wine, and a new
shilling. The senior boys receive 2s. 6.1. The sermon will
be preached br the Lord Mayor's chaplain, the Rev. John
Dams, B.A. Ordinary of Newgate.
DOLLT Wurntaor. —Mrs. Winthrop was one of
them : she was in all respects a woman of scrupulous con-
science, so eager for duties that life seemed to offer them
too scantily unless she rose at half-past 4, though this
threw • scarcity of work over the more advanced hours of
the morning, which it was a constant problem with her to
remove. Yet she had tot the viximisk temper which is
sometimes supposed to be • seceseary condition of such
habits : she was • very mild, patient woman, whose nature
it was to seek out all the sadder and more serious
elements of life, and pasture her mind upon them.
She was the person always first thought of in Have-
toe, when there was illness or death in • family, when
leeches were to be applied, or there was a sudden disap-
pointment in a monthly nurse. She was •• " comfortable
wornan"—goodlooking, fresh•complexioned, having her lips
always slightly screwed, as if she felt herself in a sick.room
with the doctor or the clergyman present. But she was
sever whimpering: no one had seen her shed Wan; she
was simply grave and inclined to shake her head
and sigh, almost imperceptibly, like • fuomeal
moaner who is not • relation. It seemed surprising
that Be. Winthrop, who loved his quart-pot and
his joke, got along so well with Dolly; bet she took her
husband's jokes and joviality ae patiently as everything else,
considering that "men meld be so," and viewing the
stronger sex in the light of animals whom It had pleased
Heaven to make naturally troublemme, like bulls sad tar.

The Liverpool Mercury says :—" A letter bea been
addremed by General Garibaldi to Sir Culling E. Eardley,
Bart., President of the Evangelical Alliance, in reference to
the proposed presentation to him of a copy of Baxter's Poly-
glott Bible by the Alliance, whose wish is also to distri-
bute the New Testament among the soldier' of Italy. The
following translation has been sent to a gentleman in Not-
tingham by one of the London secretaries Ruse et
Celomo (By the sword and the pen), Oaprete, Feb. 17,
1861. —Sir.—l sin very grateful for all that the Christians
of England have does for the welfare of man and the rights
of nations. The Evangelical Alliance, over which you pre-
side, is a good work. I shall receive with pleasure, by post,
the offer which you have made me of a Bible in many
tongues, sad I de mot consent that a deputation of members
of your society should put themselves to inconvenience for
the purpose._ . . . The great majority of the people
among as, Moot protestant io came,; are very protestant in
fact, as is proved by the indifference—nay, eves the con-
tempt—with which they receive the anathemas of the
Papacy, and the public ridicule which the miracles excite.
Be persuaded, sir, that the Italian people are much lees
Popish than has been said. As for me, be good enough to
believe me the irreconcileable enemy of hypocrisy and of ell
despotism, and at the same your affectionate G. GASP
