PARIS, Jan. 25.

The Figaro of to-day says that yesterday at
Cruezot the resumption of work was general, and
the absent workmen did not number more than 8
per cent. The leaders of the strike have also re-
turned, and there is great activity at the ironworks.
An excellent spirit prevails.
The same paper publishes a letter from M. Assy,
denying that he is an international tradesman
agent.

An order has been issued from the Horse
Guards that 50 of the 2d battalion of the 2.1 Regi-
ment, stationed at Gosport, and 50 men of the 2d
battalion of the Bth Regiment, stationed at Bury,
are to be transferred to Chatham, to join the
depots of the Ist battalion of the two regiments,
which are quartered there. This, it is understood,
will effect a small economy by transferring the cost
of the troops from the Imperial to the Indian
Exchequer.
An order has been received at Chatham from the
Horse Guards directing that volunteering shall be
forthwith opened in the depots of the following
corps at Chatham :—the Ist battalion of the Bth
Regiment, the let battalion of the 11th, the 39th,
and the 82d Regiments, for the depots of the fol-
lowing corps-Ist battalion of the Ist Regiment,
Ist battalion of the 2d, 59th, 66th, 83d, and 108th.
The men who volunteer must have less than five
years' service. Each man will receive a bounty of
one guinea. The 66th Regiment, now at the
Curragb, is under orders to proceed to India. It is
singular that only a few days ago orders were given
to recruit for the Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment,
Ist battalion of the 14th, and 39th Regiment. The
82d regiment is on its way home from Aden, and its
depot of course will leave Chatham on the arrival
of the service companies.

The first of the wrought-iron carriages and plat-
forms for the 12 ton rifle muzzle-loading guns,
manufactured in the Royal Carriage Department,
Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, under the superinten-
dence of Colonel H. Clerk, Royal Artillery, from
designs furnished by Captain Moncrieff, of the
Edinburgh Militia Artillery, was submitted yester-
day afternoon to a private trial at the proof butts in
the Government marshes at Plumatead, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the amount of counterweight
required. Three rounds were fired, without any
alteration being required, with projectiles of 2501 b.
weight, and increasing charges of 301 b., 351 b., and
401 b. of powder, the carriage working with the most
perfect ease and regularity. At the last round fired
a fracture was observed in the axle, near the right
cheek of the carriage. The trial, so far as the
general principles of the carriage are concerned,
was highly satisfactory. The total weight of plat-
foermr
carriage, and gun amounted to
