THE LATE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE. —•
Yesterday the carpenters who have been on strike
at Messrs. Cubitts fur the last three weeks resumed work
at the advanced rate of Thd. per hour. Each man will be
paid from 15s. to 17s. 6d. by the committee, being hisshare
of the strike-levy paid in on Saturday evening last, which
amounted, to nearly £250. The men generally are well
satisfied with the results of the struggle, which has been
short and decisive. _ _

PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND CHARLES I.—President
Lincoln having at the outset declared that he could not
consent to treat with the rebel authorities as such, was
confronted by Mr. Hunter with ail historical precedent.
This was the action of that constitutional rule; Charles 1.,
in treating with his rebellious parliament. Mr. Lincoln's
rejoinder was characteristic :—" Upon questions of history
I must refer you to Mr. Seward, for he is posted in such
things; and I don't profess to be bright. My only distinct,_
recollectiDn of the matter is, that Charles lost his head."—
From the Nation, No. 1, New York.
