THE TURN-OUT OF COLLIERS IN NORTH
STAFFORDSHIRE.

On Friday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Thomas B. Rose,
stipendiary magistrate, attended at the Police-office, Stoke-
upon-Trent, and took the deposition of Francis German,
sergeant of police. The three prisoners who were taken
on the previous afternoon, were brought up and placed at
the bar. The evidence of the police sergeant was as fol-
lows :—" On Thursday morning I w‘s on du yat Mr
Sparrow's coalpite, at Few on. A number of colliers came
and demanded the men oat of the pit, from the butties.
After remaining some time, they went in the direction of
Fenton Park Collieries, followed by myself Superintendent
Garnham, Inspector Stuart, and other officers of the force.
One of the ringleaders was taken into custody, near .Bury
Hill. I saw alt three of the prisoners there. A figh• com-
menced, and I saw one of them kick Superintendent Garn-
ham. One of them threw a stone and hit me. I should
think there were about fifty colliers there. I saw one of the
prisoners kick Inspector Stewart several times on the head,
as he lay on the ground. I took him into custoday but
he was rescued by the mob The mob ran away, I followed
with three or four officers, and again took the man who
kicked Inspector Stuart I left him in custody. and
followed the others. The other two prisoners I found
hiding under a fence, They took throneh a stream of
water, but, finding escape impossible, surrendered. The
prisoner, William Kay. is the person who kicked Super
intendent Gsrnham ; William Booth the man who kicked
Inspector Stuart ; and Low hit me with a stone." The
prisoners were then remanded till Saturday the 26th inst.
It was announced on Thursday evening, at Longton, that
the colliers on " strike" would hold a meeting at eight
o'clock on the folio ing morning, At that hour they began
to assemble, and continued to do so ti 1 about nine, vehen a
signal was given for them to proceed towards Fenton for
the purpose cf turning out the men employed in some pits
where they were at work. Chief superintendent Sweating,
who was there with the Longton division of police, fol-
lowed the mob, and prevented them from turning out
the men. Being roiled, the mob proceeded through Fenton
to Henley, and Mr. Sweating leaving_ the Longton police
to protect its own district, proceeded at once to Hanky
and turned oat the police force there, and followed
the colliers to Burntwood Pit, belonging to Earl Granville.
at Far Green, near Hanley; there could not have been
fewer than 1,500 colliers present, ard when the police
arrived they had partially succeeded in turning out the men.
On the eppearance of the police they proceo 'ed to Market
Piece, Henley, where they atsembled in great numbers.
Daring Monday, while turning out the men at some of
the pits, ono of the ringleaders among the colliers threa-
tened a banksmsn, that if he did not have the men drawn
out of the pit, he vrould'throw him down it. As the man
was known, Chief-superintendent Sweating took out a
warrant for his apprehension This man was in the crowd
in the Market Place at Henley, on the morning, and
was arrested. The crowd at once commenced pelting the
police with stones and brickbats. The chops we e imme-
diately closed, and a breach of the peace appeared immi-
nent. The police who were present in considerable force,
succeeded in capturing five of the most active in the attack
on the police, and in dispersing the crowd. The colliers
have fixed to hold a meeting on Saturday evening, at
eleven o'clock. The magistrates had sworn in thirty
special constables at Longton, and 300 at Hanley, in the
course of the day. The chief constable, Colonel Hogg, is
on the spot.

A CCID3NTS.—James White was at work on board the
ship Arab, and by accidentally falling into the hold, he
received some very serious injuries in the hip and thigh.
He lies at the Northern Hospital in rather a precarious
state.—Lawrence Mahony, a ship keeper, fell into the
hold of the African steamer Gambia, and was seriously
injured about •he back and head, and is at present in the
Northern Hospital, where every attention is being paid to
his case.

HOUSE ROBBERIES —During the past week several house
robberies have taken place in the town and suburbs. On
Saturday morning the house of Mr. James Crosfield,
Lodge-lane, was entered from the back, and a quantity of
silver plate and clothes stolen thereout. On the same
morning, the house of Mrs. Mary Woodward, of Mulberry-
street, was entered, and a quantity of silver plate, silk
dresses, and other property, to the value of .£3O, stolen
therefrom.

PROBABLI MEMOR ALS OF THE SIEGE OF LATITOM HOUSE.
A few days ago, as some of Lard Sktlmersdale's w)rkmen
were opening a portion of the pleasure ground at the west
side of Lathers Housr, they discovered three human
skeletons, is a pflrfelt state of preverration, one being six
feet in length, ard having all the teeth perfect. The
skeletons are supposed to b the remains of yerions in'crrsd
during the prolonged and memcrable siege of Lathom
House, in the years 1643-44. Two of the skeletons have
been taken np, and deposited inside Lathom Pa k Chapel.

never previously been attained, although a fire had been
kept burning as long as practicats!e, and twenty-seven gas
jets, night and day—viz : the specimens had been dry for
the first time since their deposit. A single jet on half tap,
applied to one cf these stoves, had thoroughly warmed and
dried the atmosphere, as he had the authority of Mr. T. C.
Archer for stating. On Thursday last Dr. Edwards gave
a lecture on Heat, and Mr. Mercer introduced this stove
to the attention of the Chemists' Associa'ion. A long and
interesting discussion took place on the advantages of this
new stove, and Dr. Edwards admitted that there were
advantages attendant upon this mode of diffusing heat,
which could not be claimed for any other invention. Mr
Alderman Bennett corroborated this view of the invention,
and when Mr. Abraham expressed his opinion that it was
only an application of the principle of the argand burners,
pointed out the distinctive feature. and stated that the
other form of burners advocated by Mr. Abraham had been
tried and found inefficient, besides producing a most
disagreeable smell, which was entirely avoided by Messrs.
Weasel sad Kukla's invention.
THE DUNDALK AND MIDLAND STEAM COMPANY'S NEW
BOAT " INDEPENDENCE.”—On Friday we had an opportu-
nity of inspecting this new iren boat, and it may be said
th .t, in all her details, she is one of the finest paddle
steamers in the channel trade. Amid the depression that
has prevailed, but which it is holed is now, if not over-
come, has passed the worst, it is something cheering to find
that enterprising company produce an addition to our fine
coasting fleet, and amongst all the boa's lately added to
trade between this port and the surrounding Islands, the
Independence may fairly challenge competition with any
paddle-wheel steamer on any station. It is an established
fact that, every day, experience suggests considerable im-
provements in ships, and in none has so much valuable
improvement taken place as in our costwise plying stea-
mers. The boat now under notice is a specimen where a
combination of talent has been brought to bear, and where
hardly anything remains to be desired. On looking at the
vessel from the dock quay she is strikingly attractive. Her
fine lines and appropriate build causes one to look at her
with interest. On going through her she presents a variety
of features that are novel and attractive, and one inspec-
tion of this handsome and elegant boat cannot fail to im-
press the visitor with a true notion of her superiority.
Long since the legislature turned its attention to the
accomodvion afforded by such boats to deck passengers, bnt
in the Independence there is no place for deck passengers
at all—cabins being provided for all, and cabins too, with
light, ventilation, and every other requisite. There are
three classes of cabins—first, second, and third, for pas-
sengers—the latter, with the exception of luxuries, provide
against cold, &c., as well as the first The sleeping berths,
retiring rooms, closets, lavatories, &c., are all on new
principles, and so complete, that nothing remains to be
done—the entire internal economy of this ship is the best
we have seen. She is 200 feet long, and about 25 beam
(across the paddles nearly 47 feet), with a depth of over 13
feet of hold. Her nominal tonnage is nearly 400; but, of
course, she can carry the usual amount of cargo for that
figure. Her engines are of 220 horse power, capable of
working up to 400, and were made by the eminent makers
—Nelsons', of Glasgow. She is commanded by Mr. Henry
Byrne, who is well worthy to be master of such a fine
vessel, not only for his qualities as an able and experienced
seaman, but his polite attention to all who have travelled
with him in the trade for years, and who have accorded to
him the highest rased of praise, with interesting testimonials
of the most flattering, and deserved description. There
are many details connected with this fine ship that we
cannot refer to particularly, but in conclusion it may be
remarked that every department is found as complete as if
she were intended for a private residence instead of a
steam-boat. On her trial trips she made, easily, 13! knots
an hour, and it is expected when she is in smooth working
order her speed will be much augmented. The admirers
of naval architecture will be delighted with an inspection
of this truly noble steamer.
