TO CORRESPONDENTS,

A CONSTANT READEU.—This correspondent refers to the state of a
quarry at New Brighton. As he has not furnished us with his
name or address, we, of course, cannot insert his communication.
Under no circumstances can we insert communications not accom-
panied by the author's real name and address, not necessarily for
publication, but as a guarantee of good faith.
Short letters are encouraged on matters of public interest. They
should be legibly written on one side of the paper only, and con-
tain (in confidence) the writer's name and address.

Although the movements of tl3e.•ip,.g•oft,Sardi,nia.t-
-n that he has been so outwitted iiy Louis Napo-
leon, are not now of much importance toour readers,
we may state 'that his Majesty leaves Milan for Turin
on Sunday next. He will be accompanied by the
Ministers of State, and will remain there a fortnight.
We may add that he has decreed the erection of a
monument at Solferino, and that the municipality of
Turin is preparing fetes for the 15th of Augnst.
- The Prussian Government has caused the pub:
licatibri of another series of documents concerning
the negotiations during. the war. They belong to
the correspondence carried on bet Ween Prussia
and Austria herself, and comprise all 'that pro-
ceeded from the Prussian Mee 'to Vienna. -The
publication of the Austrian part of the correspon-
denee must of course lie. avitli the Austrian Govern-
9, careful peiusal of the document's shows
that the policy, of Prussia has never foi

moment

wavered from strict adherence. to ,two fund
mental principles, which the Prine(
his ministers seem to have laid down for
their guidance from the beginning. They refused
'to assist Austria on hei• own terms; whiclirwere that
they should undertake to defend the whole of her
old policy in Italy. To this they invariably replied
that this policy was indefensible. But on the other
hand they as invariably expressed an opinion that
no territorial changes should be sanctioned by
Europe, as results of the
_present war ; _that they
were always ready to raise their voice for Austria
being left in possession of Lombardy ; and that they
would draw the sword at once if the federal, part of
the Austrian empire should be invaded. -
The Emperor Napoleon has announced his inten-
tion of restoring to the Emperor of Atstria, without
any indemnity whatever, the forty large ships, and
all the smaller ones, captured during, the brief war.
The Prize Committee hereby beholds its decisions
in every case annulled, and, consequently, ceases
to exist. The decision •is without precedent in
the annals of warfare, and announces the progress
which is making even in the barbarous science of
war, and as atich should be viewed with gladness.
It is rather laughable to find-the Morticing Star, the
avowed organ of Mr. John . Bright-7-an extreme
Radical paper, and the exponent of peace principles
—conic ont with the following opinion, in relation
to the above affair :—" Individual will has one ad-
vantage over constitutional decree. It can act .with
promptitude, at all events, and the -crews of the
vessels thus set free by the Emperor's personal deci-
sion, will have reason to be thankful that Louis
Philippe and the long debates of his long-winded
Chambers exist no longer." What would Mr. Bright
do with the electors of Wakefield if he had his " in-
dividual will ?"

Regent and

The various election committees 'continue their
investigations. Yesterday none of them came to any
important decision. The Huddersfield committee is
still taking evidence respecting treating and intimi-
dation. The Limerick committee was engaged all
day in taking further evidence confirmatory of the
riots.

The strike among the employes.of the London gas
companies has caused much excitement in the me-
tropolis generally. It was at first confined to the
men connected with the Chartered Company, but on
Friday it lind spread to those of all the important
gas-lighting companies in the metropolis. Tele-
graphs were at once forwarded to Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, &c., and large drafts
of men reached London, yesterday. The new
men taken on in several of the establishments
are victualled and kept all night on the premises,
from fear of violence towards them on the
part of the turn-outs. It is feared that for some
nights to come large portion of London will be
without gas light. Yesterday, the magistrate at the
Thames Police-court granted summonses, on behalf
of the manager of the Central Gas Company, against
five men, ringleaders in the strike. The' solicitor in
the case pointed to the probability of the metropolis
being left in darkness, and to the hindrance of busi-
ness and mischief to property and person, if men
employed in, gas factories were allowed to leave
without 'notice.

By telegraph we have another fortnight's later
news from India. We regret to say that the trans-
fer of troops from the East India Company to the
Queen's service is still looked upon with much dis-
content, and open mutiny is the result. The effect
of this mutiny is that a general order has; been
published, stating that every non-commissioned officer
and soldier in the Presidencies who enlisted for the
FAst India Company shall, if he desireS, be allowed'
to take his discharge. This is what ought to have
been done at first.

A case of intimidation of workmen, by some of
their• fellows whO have been promoting a'strike, was
brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday, to which
we earnestly direct the attention of that class of our
fellow-townsmen. The magistrate's emphatic re-
, marks deserve to be well considered by them.
There is, just now, • unfortunately, a strange dis-
position throughout the country, to engage in
Strikes, in various branches of labour' and handicraft.
This is to be regretted on every account; for it can
do no good to either party to haVe employers and
those in their employ, at 'variance in this, way.
Workmen have, undoubtedly, a right to take their
skill and their labour to the best, market, but they
have no right whatever to interfere, by violence,
with 'those ivrio do hot- s 4 proper to join• them in the
opposition to their employers.
-We report a case that was decided, a few days
since, in the Vice-Chancellor's, Court, involving
liability for a bill of exchange to be repaid out of
goods- shipped for this port, but which were destroyed
at sea through the burning of the ship. One of the

parties to the transaction 'Was the Unfortunate tiver-
pool Borough Bank. The Vice-Chancellor decreed that

the plaintiffs were entitled to the insurance moneys
which became yayable for the freights insured, on

conditiontirWhi'N'it will be seen, would, in all pro-
bability, meet the justice of the case. The Borough
Bank, at its own request, was dismissed from 'the
