TESTIMONIAL TO MR. G. W. QUALLETT.---The
members of the Westminster Club, Albemarle-street, as-
sembled last night in'considerable numbers in the draw ing-
room of that institution for the purpose of testifying their
warm appreciation of the excellent qualities which chdrae-
terise that gentleman, and in acknowledgment of his valu-
able and prolonged services in. a secretarial capacity. Mr.
Quallett was entertained at dinner during the evening by
the testimonial committee, after which the presentation,
consisting of a purse of gold and a handsome silver salver,
was made, Dr. Evan B. Jones convoying the sentiments
of the donors in a speech of the happiest kind, which was
responded to with much feeling by the recipient of the
testimonial. The salver, a large and elegantly-
chased piece of plate, was supplied by Mr.
Thomas, of Bond-street, and bears the following
inscription :—" Presented, with a purse of 120 sovereigns,
by the Members of the Westminster Club, to George Watts
Quallett, Esq., as a mark of their esteem, and in 'acknow-
ledgment of his valuable services as their IlonorarY
Secretary."
THE STRIKE OF ENGINE-DRIVERS ON THE NORTH-
EASTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, at the Darlington Police-
court, the adjourned case against eight of the engine"
drivers who left their work on the 10th April last came
on for hearing. The railway company, contrary to the
practice pursued in the earlier stages of the strike, did not
appear to wish to press the prosecutions. The solicitor fat
the prosecution, Mr. Richardson, of York, stated that if
the men pleaded guilty the company did not wish further
to press the case, beyond asking what the contract with
the men had stipulated, that their wages, if they left work
without propor notice, should be forfeited. This course
was adopted, the men consenting to plead guilty. The,
wages of all but two of the men summoned averaged at
the least £5, in some cases over £6 being due. It was
stated on the part of the company that they would not re-
ceive the men back. The men who were summoned were
the first to strike, and in response to the call of whom the
men on the other parts of the line also turned out. All
the arrangements on the line are now perfected, though
two or three passenger trains are still kept off.
A FENIAN RISING.—Yes, there is life. A mile
away behind the house they are burning furze upon
Knockrea. The huntsmen will not thank those Wil°
destroy the cover. Yet these are not furze-burners, no
that I look again. The light is too steady and too red'
It must be just above the ledge on which the police-sta-
tion can be discerned, white above its own dark shadovr•
It is extinguished, and flashes out again. Once more I

They speak to each other across the gorge, those men °P°

death, but near me there are others awake, and watching
like myself. The stealthy drawing of a bolt, the rattling
of a chain, the creak of a hinge upon the gate, and se
denly the clank of hoofs on the hard roadway. My h°r6B?
are away ! Have they broken loose, or are they ridclent,
I shout, and in reply hear from the skirt of the wood, hick

THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEER VISIT.--A. Inee
inci
of the Court of Common Council will be held to-llrro°,,
at which Mr. Crescent Robinson will propose the fofth
ing resolution:—" That on the occasion of the visit ? le
Belgian riflemen to this country in July next, it is desiro'fier
that this corporation should in some fitting manner the
to them a public entertainment, in acknowledgment to
enthusiastic reception and great hospitality extenciter
