STRIKE OF MINERS.

THE MILITARY CALLED OUT.

For 15 weeks past the men employed at the Talargosh
lead works, near Prestatyn, North Wales, have turned
out, owing to some disagreement between them and their
masters relative to the code of rules, under 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 engaged, 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-house.

Fortunately, the engineer was not in his usual place,
and consequently escaped injury. The men next went
to the agent's office window and fired three times through
it, expecting 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 the scene 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.

MARKET NEWS.--(This Day.)

COVENT GARDEN.

Scarcely any change has taken place to-day in the value
of either fruit or vegetables, for which, however, the
