SCOTCH COLLIERS' STRUM—GLASGOW, April 21.—We
regret to learn that this strike continues, and extends
without the slightest prospect of an amicable adjustment.
This state of matters has led to a strike over all the
western counties of Scotland, and we believe that nearly
30,003 men are now idle from this cause. The masters are
meeting the resistance by blowing out their furnaces.
Already 20 per cent. are out of blast, and they threaten
to extinguish the whole of them. Hitherto the men have,
generally speaking, conducted themselves in an orderly
manner; but it is needless to dispute that such a large
body of men, ranging over the country, and assembling
daily in masses of from 2,000 to 12,000, is likely to lead
to mischief, and calculated at least to excite great un-
easiness. The authorities are accordingly taking mea-
sures to meet any disorder that may be attempted.
Meanwhile a detachment of 250 men of the let Lanark-
shire Regiment of Militia was marched on Saturday
from Hamilton to Airdrie, the eentre of the strike.
Yesterday the Commissioners of Lieutenancy for the
county of Lanark served an order upon the yeomanry
cavalry, both of the upper and lower wards, to hold
themselves in readiness to support the civil authorities.
These two regiments muster 500 sabres.
Ties CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT.-1 he officers of the dif-
ferent regiments have subscribed a day's pay towards
the getting up of theatricals, and Lord Panamre has
placed a building at their dispo-al for that purpose, and
has given the handsome donation of 1001 tewarda a
fund. The project has been taken up with much spirit
by the officers, and it is expected to be most successful.
The first performance was appointed to take place last
night, and was announced to be under the especial pa-
tronage of Lieutenant-General Knellys, the entertain-
ments to the musical burletta of " The Sentinel "and the
farce of "To Paris and flick for Five Pounds." A
splendid ball is in preparation for the 9th of May, at
which the elite of the country are expected to attend.
Games of football, cricket, and horse-racing are in pro-
gress of formation, and bands of music will play
for two hours daily at the club-house, and it is
hoped that during the summer Sunday evening will be
included. Music has been introduced into the church
service with much effect. A third church is in progress
of erection—a very elegant style of building, in the
neighbourhood, with stained glass windows, and with a
gallery at one end for the accommodation of her Majesty
and the Royal family when in camp on Sunday. Part of
the church service will be chanted. The clergy are said
to be indefatigable in their exertions, and the General
takes much interest in everything connected with the
welfare of the soldiers,. One regiment has already pitched
its tents in front, and thus adds greatly to the pictu-
resque appearance of the camp. It is expected that in
the course of the summer the whole of the regiments
will be under canvass. Both camps will march to Sand-
hurst on the 3d of May, to assist in laying the first stone
of the now Wellington College, by her Majesty, and
all the troops in and near Lendon will be brought
together to witness that national ceremony. The
gravel is now nearly all spread on the parade-ground and
the roads, and a palpable improvement has taken place
in every department of the two camps within the last 12
months.
