GALASIIIELS.—WEAVERti'STRIK E. —This day (Fri-
day), the whole of the wearers in this town, nearly
1,000 in number (with the Ixcep• ion of tho hands cm'
ployed in one factory ), have struck work. The cause
of the strike may be stated thus:—For a number of
years back the weavers of this place have been in the
habit of receiving higher wages for their work thaa
those in any other town of Scotland, Selkirk perhaps
excepted; in consequence of which, the Galssbiels ma,
nutacturers hays been ousted from the London and
other markets, from the fact of the other parties, who
paid lower wages, underselling them. The manufac-
turers of the town (with the exception of one firm) see-
ing that they must resort to some means for securing
their former trade, met, drew up a statement of the
weavers prrices, in which a considerable. reduction Is
proposed. This day the said statement was presented 10
the weavers, when, after due deliberation, they unani-
mously agreed not to comply with the prices offered by
the manufacturers. So the mutter stands between the se
at this time, aed there is little probability of a speedy
settlement taking place, as both parties seem determined
to standout.
Among the visitors at the private view of the
Exhibition of the Society of Puinters in Water Colours
on Saturday last, we observed—the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland, Duke and Duchess of Argyles
Dowager Duchess of Northumberland, Duchess of Marl-
borough, Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, Earl
of Lindsay, Earl and Countess of Mansfield, Earl of Ca w-
dor, Countess of Plymouth, and Dowager Countess of
Morley, Viscount and Vicountess Chelsea, Lord Col-
borne, Lord Montengle, Lady Reelle, Lord and LadY
Charles Towshend, the Bishops of London, Oxford,
Norwich, Lichfield, and Wi,chester, many of the Foreign
Ambassadors, several members of the Royal Academy.
Laid a large number of patrons and amateurs of al°

AIR. HUDSON, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.--*
The friends of Mr. Hudson, M.P,, in Sunderland, have
been canvassing the electors of that borough for signa-
tures to an address expressing confiderce in him. The
address denies that the charges made against Mr. 'Judson
with respect to railway matters have been proved, and is
so worded as to imply an approval of his political as well
as commercial conduct.—Leeds Mercury,
CORONER'S INQUEST.— On Saturday Mr. W. Baker
held an inquest at the Belgraye Arms, Queen's-road,
Dalston, on the body of Mr. Charles Davis, aged sixty-
flue, a solicitor, and for upwards of forty years clerk to
the four-rate board of the parish of St. Leonard, Shore-
ditch. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased,
who resided in the Caledonia Cottages, Queen's.road,
enjoyed a very excellent state of health, and on Sunday
morning last, after partaking of a hearty breakfast.
whilst pu.ting on his coat, he suddenly fell to the ground
and almost instantly expired. A medical gentleman of
the neighbourhood promptly attended, but the vital spark
had fled, and it was his opinion that he died from apo-
plexy. Verdict—Natural Death.
[ADVERTISEMENT ]—An incontestable proof of the
efficacy of Holloway's Pills for the Cure of Liver Complaints.
—Mr. Robert Elkins, of Campbeltown, New South Wales, bad
been afflicted for several months with a severe liver complaint
which reduced him to so low a state, that he was compelled to
take to his bed; finding no relief from any of the medical aid he
received, he was advised to give Holloway's Pills a trial, which
he did, and this invaluable medicine (the instruction given with
it being strictly followed) in the course of a few weeks re-estab..
lished him in the enjoyment of as good health as aver he pos-
sessed in his life.— Sold by all Medicine Vendors througbout
