THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.

Monday commenced the thirteenth week of the
lock-out and the fifteenth of the strike, and yet
little advance has been made towards a settle-
ment of this protracted dispute. On Monday
morning there was a meeting of the conference
at the Paviors' Arms, where certain propositions
were agreed to be submitted to the masters.
Until an answer is obtained, the men in Mr. Jay's
• employment will remain. The dividend declared
on Monday was the, same as last week, viz.. 12s.
and Bs. The total amount distributed was
£BB3 4s. M., of which, £530 19s. 6d. was paid
to 2,877 skilled artisans, the remainder of the
sum being comprised of payments to 2,815
labourers. It will be seen that there is a dimi-
nution of about 100 from last week in respect to
numbers of men, and a corresponding diminution
in the amount paid. The subscriptions received
yesterday from the provinces amounted to
about £6O.

•
DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER.

On Sunday evening an attempt was made at
Oldham, by means of a hand grenade, to murder
Mr. Isaiah Greaves, master brickmaker, of Broad-
way-lane Oldham, but most fortunately the at-
tempt was not successful. Mr. Greaves resides
at the-end house of a row in Broadway-lane, some
distance from the town of Oldham, but within the
borough. The back of his house looks into a
field, from which the yard of the house is sepa-
rated only by an ordinary hurdle-fence, so that
any person standing in the field can easily see
into the yard. On Sunday evening, about half-
past seven o'clock, Mr. Greaves, having been out
for a short time, returned home, and just as he
placed his hand on the latch of the back door an ex-
plosion occurred sounding like the report of a can-
non. He rushed into the house,and told his wife that
he had been shot at, and Mrs. Greaves, going to
the door, saw something burning on the ground,
which she imag,ined vas the wadding of a gun.
Mrs. Greaves's sister went for the police ; and
Police-constable Buckley, and subsequently other
officers, came to the place and made a search. An
exploded gun cap was first discovered, and then
several small pieces of cast iron, about a quarter
of an inch thick, being apparently portions of a
hollow ball of iron of about four inches diameter.
One piece of iron was about 21 inches across, and
had five gun nipples screwed into it ; another
piece, less than the first, had three nipples, and ,1
from an examination of smaller pieces, it was evi-
dent that nipples had been screwed into the ball all I
over at distances of about of an inch. The grenade
is of a similar description to those used by Orsini
and his fellow conspirators in their attempt on
the life of the Emperor of the French. It
appears to have been made in two parts, then to
have been filled with powder and old. nails,
screws, and bits of iron (several having been
found in Mr. Greaves's yard), and then fastened
together so as to make a perfect globe. Mr.
Greaves received no injury, but one of the
pieces of iron cut open his trousers just beneath
the calf of his right leg. From the marks in
the yard made by the explosion, and the imprints
of feet in the field, it is supposed that some person
or persons watched in the field and tossed the
grenade i)-ito the yard when Mr. Greaves was at
the door. The explosive missile struck the wall
ipurediately behind him at his right side, and it
/is perfectly astonishing how he escaped without
very serious injury. Had the missile struck the
wall between him and the door, he must inevitably
have been killed. Some time ago Mr. Greaves
refused to discharge a non-society man and
employ a unionist, at the request of
the lirickmakers' Society at Oldham. The
union men turned out ; the rest of the em-
ployers took the matter up, and locked out
all the society men whom they refuse to
employ. It is supposed that the firing of a hay-
stack belonging to Messrs. Brooks, Broadway-
lane; the burning of a shed and implements
belonging to Mr. Wrigley, Frankhill; and the
attempt on Mr. Greaves's life (all having occurred
since the lock-out), have all been the work of
union brickmakers ; and in the latter case the
supposition is strengthened by the fact of some
members of: the union having been seen about
Mr. Greaves's .house not very bag before the
explosion occurred.

We ( Worcester Chronicle) understand that it has been
arranged by the committee entrusted with the arrange-
ments connected with the Pakington Testimonial, that
the banquet at which the ceremony of presentation is to
take place will probably be held some time about the
21st December next. - -

EMBEZZLEMENT OF £23o.—At the Leeds Sessions, on
Friday, William Greaves Chadwick, lately an out-door
collector in the employ of the North-Eastern Railway,
was found guilty of embezzling £230, the moneys of
the company, and sentenced to twelve months' hard
labour.
SMOKING, AND CANCER OF THE LIP.—M. BOLIiSSOR,
of Montpelier according to the Medical Times, has
recently stated that the great increase of this affection
is due to the practice of smoking ; and the late M.
Roux attributed also to this the fact of his having met
with a larger proportion of cancerous affections of the
lips during the latter than during the former half of his
prolonged surgical career. M. Fleury, of Claremont,
is, however, of a different opinion ; for, deploring,
equally with M. Bouisson the pernicious practice of
smoking, he doubts whether cancerous affection of the
lips is one of its effects. Between 1845 and 1855 be
has operated upon 86 patients, 71 being men, and 15
women, not one of these being less than 43 years of age.
They were all of the peasant class, chiefly. from among
the mountains of Puv-de-Dome and the vicinity, where
smoking is almost wholly unpractised. It is a remark-
able fact that the inhabitants of the surrounding plains,
and of the towns, where smoking prevails much more,
are almost completely free from the affection.—Medical

,Times. -
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY FROM THE MIDLAND RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.—A system of robbery of the most ex-
tensive nature has been discovered to have been prac-
tised upon the Midland Railway Company at Notting-
ham. For months past articles entrusted to the com-
pany for conveyance have been unaccountably lost,
and heavy sums have been paid in some instances
ageompensation. On Saturday morning, Mr. Farmer,
the detective officer employed by the company, and Mr.
Palethorpe, superintendent of the Nottinghamshire
police, went to the houses of two men named Robert
Shelton and John Manchester, Clifton-street, Lenton, a
village near Nottingham. On the premises they foundlace,
brocade, sugar, tea, tobacco, guns, rifles, a number of
locks, for which the company had paid £49 compensation
six months ago, and a quantity of other property,
amounting altogether to over £lOO in value, which has
been identified as having been stolenf rom the Midland
Railway Company. The prisoners were taken before
Lord B...dper and the sitting magistrates-at the County-
hall, and were remanded for a week. Both had been in
the service of the company.
INCOMBUSTIBLE STUFFS.—The Re'pertoire de Mimic
.Pure et Appliqu4 publishes the following remarks by
the •celebrated chemists, MM. Dcebereiner and (Elsner,
on the various methods for rendering stuffs incombus-
tible, or at least less inflammable than they naturally
are. The substances employed for this purpose
are borax, alum, soluble glass, and phosphate of.
ammonia. For ood and common stuffs, any one of
these salts will do ; but fine and light tissues, which are
just those most liable to catching fire, cannot be
treated in the same way. Borax renders fine textile
fabrics stiff ; it causes dust, and will swell out under the
smoothing-iron ; so does alum, besides weakening
the fibres of the stuff, and making it tear easily. Soluble
glass both stiffens and weakens the stuff, depriving it
both of elasticity and tenacity. Phosphate of ammonia,
alone has none of these inconveniences. It may be
mixed with a certain quantity of sal-ammoniac, and then
• introduced into the starch prepared for stiffening the
linen ; or else it may be dissolved in 20 parts of water,
in weight, to one of phosphate, and the stuff steeped
in the solution, then allowed to dry, and ironed as
usual. Phosphate of ammonia is cheap enough to allow
of its introduction into common use, so that it may be
employed at each wash. Phosphate of ammonia is
obtained by saturating the biphosphate of lime with
liquid ammonia.

LITERATURE.

BLACKWOOD FOR NOVEMBER.
The opening paper in the current number of Black-
wood is entitled " The French on Queen Mary,"
French authorship and editorship, it is shown, having
lately been profusely dedicating their services to Mary
Queen of Scots. " The literature they have favoured
us with, besides being divisible into good and bad, con-
sists partly of rhetorical declamation, which belongs in
a great measure to the latter category, and partly to
original research, productive of new facts and views,
which constitutes, beyond doubt, the more valuable part
of the literary harvest." Poor Mary, therefore, is fur-
nishing our neighbours with a subject which we may
depend upon it they will make the most of, after their
own peculiar fashion. The first volume of Dr. Vaughan's
" Revolutions in English History,"—the- Revolution of
Race, has supplied the materials for an interesting dis-
quisition on the general subject. "The Luck of Lady-
smede " has advanced to the twenty-third chapter,
which relates the Senechal's troubles. Part 111. of
"Captain Speke's Journal," on the supposed source of
the Nile, narrates the return from Nyanza. "A Week
in Florence" is an extremely pleasant paper on this
most interesting Italian city. "The Idylls of the
King " is a clever review of Tennyson's delightful
poem. And these most agreeable varieties are followed
by two very able and more solid papers,—one on "Allied
Operations in China;" the other, the "Future of India
and our Army," being a "friendly letter by the over-
land mail : " both of them subjects of most seasonable
interest. It will thus be seen that the number is a
good one.

RECTOR OF EDINBURGH ITifrvEnsrry.—The names
most freely mentioned among the students for the office
of lord rector, are those of Lord Chancellor Campbell
and Lord John Russell.
THE PERSIAN EMBASSY.—WC understand that the
Persian Envoy, who has been for some months residing
in Paris, will arrive in London to-morrow. Rooms have
been taken for him at Claridge's Hotel, being the iden-
tical apartments in which the former ambassador, Fur-
roukh Khan, resided. Hasan Ali Khan is, we believe,
permanently accredited to the Courts of the Tuilleries
and St. James's, but, it is said, he will reside princi-
pally in Paris, on account of his health. He is, in ad-
dition to his official grade a nobleman of the highest
rank in Persia, being chief of a large and powerful
tribe, and he holds beside a high position in the army of
the Shah. He was accompanied to Europe by a num-
ber of young Persians of good families, who are now
studying in Paris. This speaks well for the progress of
ideas in the kingdom of " the Sophi." Persia wants
but the vivifying spark of European civilisation to be-
come a great power and hold a prominent position, in
Asia at least. Homeward Mail.
A TOWN COUNCILLOR HORSEWHIPPING ONE OF HIS
CONSTITUENTS.—On Tuesday morning last a somewhat
novel and startling fracas took place in St. Mary's-
street. Mr. George Brinton happening to meet a person
named Murnaghan, employed at the Ordnance Map
Office, asked him if he was the author of the very
offensive letter which appeared in the Advertiser, of
last week. He replied that he was, upon which the
worthy Town Councillor, whose general amiability of
character and good temper are so well known, laid his
horsewhip, which he had in his hand, about his back in
right good style, and gave him a good pummelling into
the bargain. I+e understand that Murnaghan has since
brought an action against Mr. Brinton in the county
court, where the degree of provocation given, and the
summary readdress taken by the aggrieved party, will have
to be decided by a jury. The damages are laid at £5O.
—Hampshire Independent.
SEVERE SNOW STORM IN THE NORTH. —The John
o' Groat Journal says :—" Very unexpectedly a severe
snow storm came on here on Thursday last, which up to
the present date has continued unabated. The fall of
snow is considerable, and the frost as intense as could
have been looked for in January, and all this, too, be-
fore the operations of corn-cutting are over, and whilst
the fields in many parts of the county are studded with
stooks. Scarcely within the memory of the present
generation has such a storm been witnessed before
the completion of harvest. A storm about equally
severe was felt here and over the north of Scot:-
land so late as the end of April, causing a very
late downlay, and consequently a- late haryest in many
places, and now winter has set in with all its rigour
within little over five months from the disappearance of
snow from the ground. It has taken farmers by sur-
prise : they had made no provision for thrashing, and
cattle have been obliged to be housed before there was
anything prepared to give them. The sheep stock, too,
are ill off; and altogether, whether as regarded straw or
turnips, a longer open winter this year was much re-
quired, for fodder will be scarce. The mail coach has
been arriving from the south from two to three hours
behind time, the work being too heavy for two horses.
On last, one of the horses going south dropped
down dead."

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—The police at Hereford
are investigating a most extraordinary affair. On Fri-
day night, a man named Morris, a cattle dealer, living
about six miles from Hereford, gave information of an
extensive robbery, said to have been perpetrated at his
house. He said he had about £1,400 in a small
workbox in his bedroom on the first story, and saw it
safe about half-past six in the evening—about £l5O in
gold and the rest in notes, several of which were for
£5O each. About seven o'clock he discovered that a
ladder had been reared against the side of the cottage,
that his bedroom had been entered through the window,
and his money and the box stolen. .Nobody knew where
the money was but himself and a man named Clifford,,
whom he had employed, and upon whom suspicion fell,
A rigorous search was made at Clifford's lodgings by two;
policemen, but nothing suspicious was found. Clifford
charged Morris with having secreted the money to defraud
his creditors, and said Morris had broached such a plan
to him. Morris emphatically denied this, and being
unable to read and write, has been all over the country,
to London, Chelmsford, and other places, from whence
he had the notes, to ascertain their numbers and stop
payment. The ffair is at present involved in mystery ;
but it is difficult either to disbelieve Morris's tale or
account for the loss of the money.
COMMISSION OF LUNACY UPON A CLERGYMAN.—A
commission was opened on Monday morning at the
Horns Tavern, Kennington, before Mr. Barlow, Master
in Luaacy, and a special jury, to inquire into the state
of mind of the Rev. Stephen Lewis Woodcock, a clergy-
man of the established church. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C.,
Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Morris, appeared for the
petitioner; and Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. C. Mere-
wether on behalf of the alleged lunatic. Mr. Woodcock
was present during the early part of the proceedings;
but his interruptions were so frequent, and his whole
conduct so extraordinary, that it was deemed desirable
to remove him, and he was accordingly taken back to
Bethlehem Hospital in a cab. It appeared from the
statement of the learned counsel, and the evidence o f
the witnesses called, that Mr. Woodcock obtained his de-
gree at Oxford in 1825, and acted as curate for some 25
years, when it became necessary to place him in an
asylum for lunatics at Clapton. He had become entitled
to an annuity of £2OO a year; which was vested in
trustees on his behalf. A commission of lunacy was sued
out in 1848, but the decision was in favour of the rev.
gentleman's sanity. Upon being released he squandered
his money, and went about in rags. He then went to
Bucks, and lived on the charity of friends, and from the
year 1845 to 1855 he had been confined in various gaols
of this country, and in the Queen's Prison for debt. On
two several occasions while in the Queen's Bench,
he said the Irvingites had got such control over
him, that he had the power to stop the Queen in the
street, and knock her on the head. There being no
doubt of his insanity in the minds of the officials, he was
removed from the Queen's Bench prison to Bethle-
him under an order of the Secretary of State. 'When
at liberty, the unfortunate man had been in the habit
of going about in a very ragged and dirty state—carry-
ing undressed fish, pieces of mouldy bread, and such like,
in his hat ; and his conduct generally was such as to
lead to the supposition that' he was of unsound mind ;
and the medical witnesses called gave it as their' opinion
that this was the fact. The inquiry lasted seven hours,
and was adjourned for the production of further evi-
dence.

SHOCKING ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE.---THORNBORT,
GLOUCESTERSHIRE.---..)n Saturday morning a desperate attempt
at murder and suicide was made near the White Horse Inn, at
Redwick, in the parish of Almondsbury, about six miles from
this town, and which caused the most intense excitement in
the neighbotirhood. A labouring man named James February,
about 26 years of age, a native of Chipping Sodbury, had been
for a few years cohabiting with a widow named Emma Mab-
bott, aged about 30 years (whose husband was killed seven
years since by a fall from a load of hay). But in cvnsequenee
of his intemperate habits the woman had refused longer to live
with him ; and this, together with the fact of her having
taken up with another man, seems to have prompted the
horrible deed. Finding the unfortunate woman in the house
alone the assassin attacked her with a razor, and after cutting
her throat performed the same office for Limself. Both were
,
conveyed to the Royal Infirmary,
Bristol, but neitheris ex-
pected to survive,

SAD. EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.—A poor, half-starved woman
applied on Tuesday to Mr. Selfe, at the Thames Police-court,
for some assistance and relief from the poor-box fund, under
circumstances of a painful nature, and which have been too
common in numerous families since the unfortunate lock-out
in the building trade. The applicant said. her husband had
been out of employ ever since the strike, •and she had pawned
.and otherwise disposed of every article she possessed, except
three chairs and a bed for the maintenance of her children, and
the remaining articles must also go, unless some humane persons
would lend her a helping hand or the magistrate would assist her.
Her husband's tools were pawned, and she was unable to redeem
them. Her husband could go to a job of work if she had the
means of redeeming his tools. If that was not done, the
whole family must go to the workhouse. Mr. Selfe : How
many children have you ? The Applicant : I have eight, sir,
all under thirteen years 'of age. Mr. Atkins, of-the Mile-end
road, has attended some of them in illness, and he can certify
as to my honesty and respectability, and that my husband is
an industrious man. My poor children, sir, are in a bad
state. Mr Selfe : It is a sad case. This is only one of
many arising from the effect of the strike. I don't know
that I shall be justified in using the funds placed at my dis-
posal by benevolent persons in support of "lock-outs." It will
never do to, pay " lock-outs" from the poor-box fund; some
rule must be laid down, or I shall
.be overwhelmed with
similar applications. The Applicant : My poor children, my
husband, and myself have all suffered from the want of nourish-
ment. My husband is anxious to resume his work, but he
cannot do so until his tools are redeemed. Mr. Selfe : It is a
deplorable state of things. I really don't know what to do
in this matter. The Applicant : Oh, sir, think of my poor
children wanting bread, and my home broken up. (Here she
sobbed loudly.) Mr. Selfe : Well, well, I will' listen to your
very earnest appeal. Bring me a letter from Dr. Atkins cer-
tifying that yon and your husband are deserving persons, and
worthy of relief, and I will give you enough to redeem your
husband's tools. What is your husband ? The Applicant
He is a plasterer, sir. The poor woman then retired with a
lighter heart than she entered the court.
A " TRIUMPHAL ENTRY" INTO AN AFRICAN VILLAGE.—The
caravan broke ground at 4 p.m.. and, completing the prin-
cipal zigzag made to avoid wars, arrived at Senrgongo, Kanoni,
followed by a host of men, women, and children, advanced to
meet the caravan, all roaringly intoxicated with joy, and
lavishing greetings of welcome, with showers of " Vambo,
Yambo, Sanas" (How are you ?" and "Very well, I
hope?"), which we as warmly returned. The shakings of
hands were past number, and the Belooches and Bombay
-could scarcely be seen moving under the hot embraces and
sharp kisses of admiring damsels. When recovered from
the shock of this great outburst of feelings, Kanoni begged me
to fire a few shots, to apprise his enemies, and especially his
big brother, of the honours paid him. No time was lost ; I
no sooner gave the order, than bang, bang went every one of
the escort's guns, and the excited crowd, immediately seeing
a supposed antagonist in the foreground, rushed madly after
him. Then spears were flourished, thrust, stabbed, and
withdrawn ; arrows were pointed, huge shields "protected
black bodies, sticks and stones flew like hail ; then them
was a• slight retreat, then another advance—dancing to
one aide, then, to the other—jumping and prancing on
the same ground, with bodies swaying here and bodies
swaying there, until at length the whole foreground was a
mass of moving objects, all springs and hops, like an army of
frogs after the first burst of rain, advancing to a p and : then
again the guns we:, t off, giving a fresh' impulse to the ex-
citing exercise. Their great principle in warfare appears to
be that no one should be still. At each report of the guns
fresh enemies were discovered retreating, and the numbers of
,their slain were quite surprising. These, as they dropped,
•were, with highly dramatic action, severally and immediateiy
trampled down, and knelt upon, and hacked and chopped
repeatedly with knives, whilst the slayer continued showing
his savage wrath by worrying his supposed victim with all
the angry energy that dogs display when fighting.---Captain
Spelie in Blackwood's Magazine for November.
