MASONS' STRIKE.

An adjourned meeting of the masons now on strike
was held last evening at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane,
for the purpose of receiving further Reports from the
different delegates feom the Trades' Unions of the metro-
polis. Mr. BUTLER took the Chair at nine o'clock.
Several delegates delivered in their Reports, all con-
taining resolutions still to support the masons in their
present struggle.
The SECRETARY then read the correspondence which
has taken place between himself and different unions,
throughout the country all eulogising the conduct of the
masons, and embodying resolutions of the various so-
cieties to support them.
Several members of different Unions delivered in their
subscription papers, with the amount subscribed.
Mr. LOVATT said he had a resolution :to move, that a
deputation do wait upon the Members of Parliament for
the City of Westminster, to solicit their co-operation to
bring this struggle to an honourable conclusion. He
moved this resolution, as charges, and those serious
charges, had been brought against the public authorities,
and the Members fur Westminster ►ere the proper par-
ties to apply to, to take the clatter up.
Mr. DUNNING briefly seconded the resolution. He
thought this was a course they ought to pursue. People
must see the freshness and reality in a statement when
that statement was founded on truth ; therefor?, they
ought certainly to bring this subject before Parliament.
The resolution, after a short discussion, was put and
carried.

A resolution was then proposed to the effect that two
of the masons should be appointed as a deputation to at-
tend at the Westminster Hospital, to ascertain fully the
facts connected with the man who had received an injury
in the service of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and who had
been refused work subsequently by them.
This resolution was also carried unanimously.

STATISTICAL SOCIETY or LONDON.--A full
meeting of the Fellows of this Society was held on Mon-
day week at their Rooms, 4, St. Martin's-place, when a
long list of donations which had baen received during
the recess were reported. An abstract of a paper on
the Burman empire was read, by which it appears that
the population of the empire, which was computed by
the old geographers in former years at 30,000,000, was,
in 1826, only 4,230,000.
On Monday last three hundred and fifty men
and fifty women of the parish of Carrigera, and of the
temperance body, assembled on the lands of Clonagh,
near Newmarket-on-Fergus, and dug out and pitted a
field of potatoes of seven acres, belonging to Thomas
O'Donohoe, Esq. Mr. O'Donohoe had three fat sheep
killed and dressed as a repast for this great body of his
friends.—Limerick Reporter.

FORGED EXCHEQUER BILLS.—In the list
published of the holders of spurious Exchequer bills,
given in our paper on Tuesday, a trifling inaccuracy should
be noticed. All seems to be right as regards the holders of
the larger amounts to which they apply ; but, among
those to whom the minor sums are attached, we find the
name of Solomons, who is described as a b for
4,0001. It has been stated to us that no one of the name
known as connected with the Money Market has had
bills of this description in his possession, and there must
be a mistake, therefore, in the description of the party.
There is a report current that Mr. Young is
about to revisit the glimpses of the foot-lamps, and to go
through a round of his principal characters. It is said
that the Queen has especially requested Mr. Young to
take his place again upon the boards, that she may have
an opportunity of seeing what good tragic acting of the
old school really is.
