COMBINATION OF COLLIERS.
The operations of the only combination in the west of i
Scotland that ha fretted any temporary benefit by their
exclusive matures, have at length tesehed ; climak. We
have more than once expressed an opinion that the opera-
tions of the combined colliers would soon bring the house
about their ears. The central government that sit at West-
mete having deemed it proper to issue a decree to the
various colliers within their jurtadiction to Make* fresh
demand sof an additional sixpence per cart of coals, the
operative colliers of the pits on the banks of the Monkland
canal immediately set about fulfilling the instructions of
the grand connnittee. Emboldened by auccest against Mr.
Dunlop, the leaders seem never to have dreamed of any
other oppositiuu to their legislative mandates. Fortunately,
however, they had to encounter men of decided enerey and
public spirit, the Messrs. Dixons, of Calder Iron NVorks.
These gentlemen set the arrogant orders of the mock com-
mittee at defiance, and when the unreasonable demand *as
made upon them they warned every collier in their employ
who was dissatisfied with their present terms to quit the
works instanter. The colliers belonging to three of the
coal-Works were so prudent as to withdraw their demands ;
but the colliers who work at the coal pits as the village of
Faskine, having been so infatuated as to persevere in endea-
vouring to carry into effect the injunctions issued from
head-quarters, their employer:proceeded to eject every one
of them and their families from the houses they occupied
in the village, and, following the example of the Duke of
Hamilton, they wisely resolved to replace them by uew
workmen.
Last week presented a singular scene at the village.
There was a complete rooting out of the combined, and
nothing was to be seen but the packing up of furniture
and the removal of fatuities. This beautiful and roman.
tic spot truly represented the picture of the deserted vil-
lage • and many were the regrets of the poor wives and
children at leaving so pleasant a residence, and so good
employers. The scene Was however soon changed. The
labourers on the banks of the Monkland .canal and at
the Iron Works, seized the opportunity of breaking in
upon the combination, and this deserving and excluded
class immediately volunteered to occupy the places'
of the refractory colliers. For their protection, a strong
body of men were procured from Glasgow and the neigh-
bourhood. They are principally min who have been in
the army, and have served in the Peninsular campaigns,
anti are of the most determined bravery and courage.
They went up on Saturday, and have since been judici-
ously stationed round the country in the neighbourhood of
the coal-works. They prvrol night and day, and on the
least alarm, they can all bear on one point. They have
got one of the houses in the village converted into a guard-
room. They have a fine assortment of fire-arms; and it
was a novel sight to meet with heroes, who had fought at
Waterloo, Vittoria, or scaled the walls of San Sebastian
and Batlajoz, quite busy preparing ball cartridges and all
necessary preparations of war for the protection of the
peaceful workmen. As the coal pits are situated close to
the canal, it is apprehended that the colliers might attempt
Ito cut the banks, and thus deluge the p'ts with water, and
drown the new workmen. These places are therefore par-
ticularly well guarded, and if necessary, arrangements are
made for bringing the dragoons iu a few minutes front
Hamilton. The new workmen and their families are fast
I:ouring into the village ; and far more than are wanted
can be procured. There are about 90 families from the
parish of Campsie alone. There will be about 800 nets
miners required for the three pits.
Early yesterday morning the new workmen made a suc-
cessful commencement. They were accompanied by
several regular bred colliers, alio put things in order for
them, and are to instruct them iu their new profession.
Fortunately, although the pits had been closed, the Messrs.
Dixons had such a stock of coal and iron-stone, as placed
them beyond the power of the combination. These gen-
tlemen deserve the greatest praise for their meritorious ef-
forts to break down a confederacy whith is doing infinite
mischief to the best interest: of the country. The men
employed at the iron works are quite enthusiastic in
speaking of the kindness of their employers. The dis-
charged colliers were only allowed by the committee to
work four days in the week—they durst not put out more
coal than what amounted to five shillings a day, which
they generally accomplished in a few hours. The iron-
works are very brisk at present ; about a hundred tons of
pig iron are manufactured in a week. From the number
of labourers that passed thiough Camlachie yesterday
morning, there is no doubt that all the hands wanted at
Faskine have been already procured. We hear that a
modern coal proprietor, whose name is known to the
public, immediately engaged part of the cambineel colliers,
and sent his carts to Faskine for their furniture.—Glasgow
Chronicle.

[Frost the Edirsbargi.Observer. I
On Sunday, while the gentleman who is the responsible
editor of the Courant, was attending a funeral in Grey-
friars' Church-yard, a person, said to be Mr. 'Pritchard of
the Theatre Royal, abruptly addressed him to this effect:—
" That notwith.nanding the solemnity of the occasion—the
holy day—and the sacredness of the spot, he could not omit
the opportunity of saying that he would trot permit his
feelings to be irritated any longer, and that he (meaning
the editor of the Courant) was in his opinion, a scurrilous
rascal!" A card was then thrust into the editor's hand,
who merely observed, " that this 'was neither the time nor
place for such conduct and observations ;" and immediately
tore the card without looking at it, and walked slowly from
the church-varil, with the gentleman who accompanied
him. The 'Courant of yesterday, from which we have
taken this account, adds—
" Ignorant as we are of the motives which have tempted the
person we have named to so daring a violation of the sanctity of
the day and plate, and totally unconscious of ever having alluded
to him but as an actor, we might leave these facts without twornment
—but in our private ceparity, we feel bound to say, after consult-
ing a friend, by rank and experience in every respect qualified to
direct us by his opinion, that the committer of an outrage of a kind
so unpreetdented—so appalling to afl feelings of religion and com-
mon decency—is not entitled to other notice than pity. In the
exercise of our public duty we have had occasion to criticise the
performers of our theatre, and are content to know, that in the
general expression of our opinions, we hare merely echoed the
public voice. We shall not consequently be deterred by conduct,
however gross or disgusting, front doing so. We owe the public
a duty paramount to every other consideration, and that duty we
shall perform, as we have hitherto endeavoured to do, &ariessly and
honestly."
Tit calms-Roy at.—Lout night, when Mr. Pritchard,
who personated the DeAe in Cori, appeared on the stage, a
sort of tumult ensued. Cheers and hisses came from every
part of the house; but the former: as far as we could
judge, predominated. Mr. Pritchard then came forward,
and addressed the audience nearly as follows:
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—Am I tir understand from tlas that
you etaect me to give some explanation respecting a paragraph
which appeared in the Ediatnaglo Courant of to-day ?If so, I beg
leave to state, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the Editor of that paper
has been in the habit of perseveringly attacking my professional
reputation. lie has, likewise, atteximted to draw from me the
reputation of a gentleman—a character, I presume to think, I have
supported oil' the stage to the satisfaction of my friends. Ladies
and Gentlemen, was this to be borne ? lie has asserted thus Miss
Foote must have felt herself degraded by acting notante to my
Don Felis--and why ? because she had appeared in that character
with 31r. Charles hemble; thus comrasting my humble abilities
with those of Mr. Kemble, who is at the very head of his mores-
sion. (Applause.) Ladies and Gentlemen. I beg leave to state,
that the paragraph in the Courant of to-day, with respect
to our renrontre of yesterday, is not correct. The observa-
tions passed on me in the Saturday's paper so inflamed my mibd,
that yesterday, when I saw the author of this calumny, it was with
the greatest difficulty I restrained myself till the melancholy duty
we were called upon to perform was over. Upon retiring from the
ground, I addressed him in the following terms :—' Sir, I wish to
speak with you.' Ile said, •some other time.' I replied, 'No,
Sir, no other time ; you have hurt my feelings to that degree, that
notwithstanding this holy day, and the melancholy business we
have been engaged in, I cannot forego the opportunity of telling
you, in the presence of these gentlemen, that you are a scurrilous
nixes! fur defaming me in the manner that you have done, soul
here is my address,' upon which I presented him with my card,
which he retained. This, upon my honour, is a true Statement of
the matter."
The play then proceedesl without farther interruption.

time pending between Leeds and Liverpool, fits at length
terminated in favour or the Leeds players.

LONGEVITY.—The Journal des Nord contains the fol-
lowing instance of longevity. A surgeon, called Pulu-
Timan, who lived in the small town of Vendemont, iu
Lorraine, has just died, at the age of one hundred and
forty years. The evening before his death he had with
much dexterity and firmness of hand performed the opera-
tion for cancer, ou an old woman. lle was never married,
was never bled, never took any medicine, and never had
had any illness, although he hail never passed a day of his
life without getting intoxicated at supper, a repast which
he never missed to the close of his life.

ITARgICTTE WILSON.—The Bath Herald says—"
bare this week received a letter from the well-known
Harriette SS ilson, in which we are requested to obtain for
her ' some fanny anecdotes' relating to a most respectable
gentleman of this neighbourhood, with whom she acknow-
ledges herself to be unacquainted, for the purpose (to use her
own words) of obliging him to ' buy out of the book !' Feel-
ing such an application as an insult to ourselves, we have
thought it right thus publicly to notice it ; and to add,
that the letter to which we allude will, if necessary, be
always at the service of the friends of that gentleman.'
Miss Morgan, one of the most dashing courtezans in the
lobbies of Drury lane Theatre, and the pride of a 3 oung City
banker. poisoned herself on Wednesday at her lodgings in Queen_
street, Hampstead New-road. She was niuch addicted to drinking,
and was in the most abject poverty. She had taken a dose of ozalic
acid, part of which was found in her wretched apartment. The
deceased was a native of ‘Varrninster, Wiltshire, of respectable
parents in trade, and she left there about two years since, at IS
years of age. She died a victim to disappointment and disease, as
well as poverty.
The six bridges was walked over yesterday, fair toe and
heel, by Captain Mignon, of Sloane-square, for a bet of a rump
and dozen, that he did not accomplish it in fifty minutes. It had
been run in thirty-two rainutes by others. This match was woo
with four minutes to spare, and tolerably ease.
Mr. Cartwright, of Codstone Heath, hos undertaken this
day (Friday) to ride two horses front Turner's-hi:l to one of the
bridges, 32 miles, In one hour and fifty minutes, for 200 sove-
reigns. Betting Stol on time.
