THE SALT TRADE.
At a meeting of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, held
at Northwich, on Saturday, the sth of June, it was pro-
robed by Henry Ashton, Esq., of Liverpool, and
seconded by George Ellens, Esq., of Droitwich, and un-
animously resolved—

"1. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
late enactment of the Bengal Government reducing, at
only five days' notice, the rates at which they sell their
own salt, in a greater proportion than they have lowered
the duty on British and Foreign imported salt, has been
framed solely with the view of entirely excluding the
manufacture of this country from tne Indian market ;
and that such conduct on the part of the Bengal Go-
yernm.,nt, while it involves an admiFsion of the severity
of their previous exactions, is utterly unworthy of the
local authorities.

" 2. That the East India Company are acting in direct
violation of their Charter, in continuing their
salt,manufac-
mtuarennoffaetnreand and
trade cannotradingin that
now bedefended,
eh
that
either
hr
on the score of the uncertainty of the British and
foreign supply, or the protection of the revenue.
" 3. That the Chairman of the Cheshire and Worces-
tershire Salt Chamber of Commerce be accordingly au-
thorised, on behalf of the salt trade of England, formally
and eneagetically to protest to the Imperinl Parliament
of Great Britain; her Majesty's Board of Commissioners
for the Affairs of India ; and the Hon. the Court of
Directors of the East India Company, against the conti-
nuance of such .manufacture and sale of salt ; on the
grounds of its inconsistency with the terms on which they
hold the government of India, the injury it inflicts upon
the natives of India, and the serious impediment it offers
to the trade and manufacture of this country.
" 4. That the sincerest thanks of the Salt Trade are
due to Lord Sandon, M.P.; Sir Denis Le Marchant,
M.P. ; Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P. ; Sir J. Packington,
M.P. ; Sir P. Egerton, M.P. ; the Hon. E. J. Stanley,

ALARMING RAILWAY RIOT.—It appears from th.
Fifeshire papers that serious disturbances have taken place,
the last few days, among the labourers on the Edin-
burgh and Northern Railway. On Saturday last,
during
being the
pay day on the Gallatown section, some squabbling ensued
between the Highlandmen and Irishmen, and two or three
broken heads were the consequence. The police, how•
ever,: by apprehending some half-dozen of the ring-
leaders, succeeded in restoring quietness for the night.
The prisoners were lodged in the lock-up house at Path-
head, and on Tuesday morning last were brought into
Cupar, where two of them were sentenced to forty days.
and two to sixty days' itnprisonment each. The case of the
others being of a more Serious nature is under investigation.
On Sunday morning, it was evident, from the numbers
hanging about the streets, that there was considerable risk
of a collision between the Highlanders and the Irishmen.
The Irishmen turned out to the number of between sisxoty_FßO.
kaldy for a reinforcement from their countrymener

stobs, rails,
marched in regular procession, with there, about three o'clock a body of noithf about 500
