THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY PORTERS
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway porters at one
of the goods stations in Manchester had not asked for
an advance of wages last week, but were, no doubt
waiting to see what success the other sections met with.
The company's manager, Captain Laws, sent and offered
these men an advance of 10 per cent., which they ac-
cepted ; and the others being informed of it, relinquished
their claim to 15 per cent., and accepted the 10 per cent.
advance. The East Lancashire porters have accepted
the 10 per cent. also.

herself gave them a match, to light their pipes ; that,
furthermore, they were all drunk when they left the pre-

greatest anxiety to his parents, &c.
THE PARRS.— The principal portion of the footpaths
in Hyde-park have received a fresh coating of gravel,
&c., and undergone general repair for the ensuing sea-
son. The small shingle which was at one time made use
of for the purpose, has given rise to a mixture of gravel
and cinders, which is found to harden the pathway in a
