THE ENGLISH WORKMEN EX-
PELLED FROM FRANCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Yesterday the Mayor of
Portsmouth (Mr. Owen) received instructions from the
Secretary of State relative to the disposal of the people
brought to this port by the Brighton and Continental
Steam Packet Company from Havre on Saturday and
Sunday, and such others as may follow. His worship
is directed to pass such persons to their own home at the
Government expense. A number left yesterday, and
nearly all the residue this day, for their respective des-
tinations, with food and money, by the Brighton and
South Coast Railway, in accordance with arrangements
made, by Mr. Sutton, the superintendent of this station.
The poor creatures seem very grateful for the kindness
shown them, and the care taken of them by this com-
pany and the Government.
The Brighton and Dieppe steamers left the harbour
this day, on their return to Havre for fresh passengers.
FOLKESTONE, TUESDAY.—Yesterday fall the English
workmen at the flax manufactory in the neighbourhood
of Boulogne were discharged, and the example was be-
coming general throughout the locality, so that some
2,500 English, employed in the department in ♦arious
branches of industry, are within the last two days left
without bread, and many of them without the means of
returning to their native country.
The brickmakers and other people employed on the
railway in the neighbourhood of Neufchatel are also
sent away, and many of them were amongst the arrivals
of this morning. They do not appear to complain of
any ill treatment on the Boulogne line, but some of them
speak bitterly of the ill feeling shown towards them on
the other lines, more particularly the Rouen and Paris
road, where some of the men are said to have received
hard usage from the French workmen who had been em-
ployed with them on that particular work.
In fact, the discharge of English workmen from both
French manufactories and railways was universal. The
French workmen iu the manufactories insist that they
should have the same wages as those paid to the Eng-
lishmen without regard to the relative skill of the par-
ties, or else that the wages of all Englishmen should be
reduced to a level with their own. In many instances
no option was allowed the employer, who was compelled
by threats to discharge his foreign workmen.
Many of these poor people were in extreme distress,
unable to exist or get work any longer in France, and
perfectly destitute of the means of getting to England.

RAILWAY COLLISION IN FRANCE.—The Gazette
de France states that a collision between two trains has
taken place on the Northern Railroad. There were 43
persons wounded ; 22 National Guards of l'lsle Adam.
18 of Jouy le Comte, and eight of Vilmondois. One of
the latter, a sergeant, has had his foot amputated at
.the
hospital of Pontoise. An inspector at the station of La
Chapelle likewise suffered an amputation of the leg. An
engineer died in the night. It is expected that the lives
of other victims of this catastrophe may be preserved.
The Constitutionnel notices the paragraph of the
Gazette de France, and adds,—" We have not heard of
any accident on the Northern Railroad later than that
which occurred immediately subsequent to the revolution
of February, and we trust that these melancholy detail:
refer to that accident."

'file Chancellor of the Exchequer has received from
an anonymous correspondent 121. 45., which he will pay
into the receipt of the Exchequer.
MEETING OF THE METROPOLITAN CLERGY ON TEE
SUBJECT •F SANITARY REFORM.—Yesterday a general
meeting of the metropolitan clergy, convened by circu-
lar, was held at No. 40, Leicester-square, for the pur
pose of adopting measures, under the sanction of
tht
Lord Bishop of London, for promoting sanitary reform,
by moans of Committees to be established to carry out
that object. The Rev. M. W. Lusignan, M.A., rector of
All-Hallows, presided, and was supported by the Ver)

On Sunday morning, Robert Greenfield, a porter
in the service of the Great Western Railway. Company,
at Bath, mat with a severe accident, It is the custom,
after the dispatch of the down mail-traia, to extinguish
the lights on the platform. This was done as usual on
this morning, and Greenfield passing along the platform
after the lamps had been put out fell through the hole
through which the luggage is hoisted (a distance of
nearly 20 feet), on to a bar of the machine which draws
up the luggage. As might be expected serious contu-
sions were sustained by Greenfield, and it is feared that
he has fractured some of his ribs.—Ou Monday afternoon
a girl named Sarah Ponting, abort ten years of age, was
playing with some other children at a neighbour's house,
in Twerton, when her clothes caught fire, and she was
burnt so seriously that she died the next day, at the
Bath United Hospital, from the injuries received.—
