THE POOD-lAI7 BOARD AND THE PARISH OF MARY-
LEBONE —Ytilerday a fully attended meeting of the
directors and i;uatelians of St. Mary!chone was held in
the boa,rd.rnota of the Workhouse, New-road ; the sub-
ject for diecusidon being whether the board would, or
out of the recent flagging g
would not, regeeive the resignation of the meter of the
workhouse, „risin
of pauper
females, and it being understood that the Poor-law
Board bad also issued further orders upon the subject.
Mr. Vanheeine occupied the chair. The Hon. and Rev.
W. Pelham (the rector) moved that, before the resigna-
tion of the ietaeter he dealth with, the secretary he de-
sired to obtazin the opinion of counsel whether there is
anything in the local acts of this parish which exempts
this beard from the provisions
,of those acts of Parlia-
ment which regulates the Pooreaw Commission ; and if
not, whether such acts authorise the Pocr-law Commis-
sionere, under any eircinnstaPees, to discharge the master
or ary other cillecr of the workhouse i,,,lependent;y of
vteil ef tie teiard of enertlietee 're
motion was
car ri el on a li4ieiiiit 031 a majoie.y of 17 r.O 7 ; and
consideration of the other documents was delerred to the
next meeting of the beard, which, after a long sitting,
separated.

The Warwick Meeting was not remarkable. Things
were conducted in the old style, but plenty of sport was
afforded. They who went to the "far north," and as
sisted at the aristocratic gathering at Kelso, swear they
saw the Cambridgeshire winner in Alma, who won her
race there with a stone and a half in hand, as the phrase
goes. John Scott has discovered something in Coup de
Main, who, if my memory serves me aright, was entered
for a selling race at York, to be sold for 801.; and, al
though he was backed, he got only a rnieerabie third.
The Newmarket folk believe in Eloquence, who will
assuredly run well. Vengeance is very unsteady in the
market, and the shine has been a little taken
out of Pole Star. Neither has, I am told,
done much work this week. From the style
in which Malacca figured in the Ceearewiteh, I am in-
duced to believe that he will carry Mr. Parr's colours
into a prominent position. They who saw him coming
through the ditch gap, recollected that Scherz did the
same, and expect that Malacca may give a repetition of
the Scherz performance. If Coup de Main's trial with
Warlock be true, Merlin can have hut a very slender
chance. The Poacher is turned loose, and his light
weight will enable him t© get home. Little David, it
is stated, may astonish the natives by again wincing
this event, but his party have 'perhaps mere faith in the
Cave Adullarn. If the Warwick running with Hunger-
ford, Pole Star, and Lrvly Tattoo, in September, he cor-
rect, "the Baron's hone" will take some stalling off.
I shall net express a definite opinion on the probable
result of the race, intending to send my notes, as usual,
from Newmarket for publication or Mond y. In my
last despatch from headquarters I was fortunate enough
to select the first and second for the Cesarewitch. I
shall, too, as usual, collect any little waifs and strays of
information which come in my way.

The Criterion will be decided oa Monday. Sydney
has 6tbs. extra to carry, and ho must be a better horse
than I think. him to be if he can boat the unpeualised
Rosa Bonheur.

A FRESII MAN.

STRIKE OF MINERS.

THE MILITARY CALLED OUT.

For 15 weeks past the men employed at the Talargosb
lead works, near Prestatyn, North Wales, have turrAd
out, owing to some disagreement between them and their
masters relative to the code of rules, uncle: which the
" bargains " in the pit are in future to be taken. During
the whole of the strike, previous to Tuesday last, the
men had been peaceably conducted, but in consequence
of a strange engineer having been enggged, a party of
30 men dressed as Rebecca and her daughters went to
the works and fired a gun charged with shot through
the window of the engine•hou=e.

Fortunately, the engineer was not in his usual place,
and ccnsegnently escaped injury. The men next went
to the agent's office window and fired three times through
it, expectieg the agent was in bed in the room. Instead
of being in bed, however, he was out in the ground, and
therefore received no hurt. The consequence of this
riotous conduct was that a number of special constAbles
were sworn in, and on Thursday evening last a detach-
ment of the 89th Foot, the depot of which regiment is
in Chester, were sent to tho scone of the outrage.
The miners seemed to enjoy the fun of seeing
the soldiers, and gave vent to their feelings
in noisy good humour. The military mounted guard on
the works, and relieved the special constables. On Fri-
day meetings of both the men and magistrates were held,
and the soldiers were ordered to remain for a short
time, both parties seeming determined to maintain
their grounds of difference. Some time is expected to
elapse before an amicable arrangement is arrived at.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

HERNE-BAY AND FAVERSHAM.

A meeting of the inhabitants of 'Whitstable was held on
Wednesday for the purpose of taking into consideration
the proposed line of railway from Herne-bay and Paver-
sham. Dr. Williams was in the chair.
A deputation from Herne-bay attended, consisting of
Mr. Newton, Dr. Godfrey, &c.
Several speakers having addressed the meeting, setting
out the benefits the proposed railway would confer on the
town,
Bir. HOLDEN proposed the f Mowing resolution :—"That
it is the opinion of this meeting that the proposed line of
railway from Herne-bay to Faversham will be of great ad-
vantage to the town of Whitstable, and that this meeting
Piedra itself to support the undertaking as far as pos-
pible."

. _
Mr. GANN seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
A resolution was then passel, requesting Mr. Ellis to
represent tile inhabitants of Whitstable as one of the
directors of the proposed iine.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

PEEBLES.

The report of the directors of this company states that
the t otal revenue for the half-year ending Aug. 31 amounted
to 4,584/.; and the working expenses, including manage-
ment. to 2,463/., or 53 per cent., being at the rate. of
Is. 2id. per mile on 39,910 miles run by the locomotives.
The total mileage since the opening of the line has been
87,475, and the average cost of locomotive power, including
repairs, has been 7-86 d. per mile. Oat of the disposa-
ble balance of 2.1181. the directors recommend a dividomd
at the rate of ss. per sharo, which will absorb 1,750 t.,

is equivalent to 21 per cent. for the first year.
