COLLIERY DISTURBANCES.

The " strike" of the pitmen continues. A very
numerous meeting of the infatuated men took place
on the Black Fell on Saturday, for the purpose of
entering into a resolution to support each other in
their stand against their employers. The terms of
the men's contribution are now becoming materially
enhanced. From being a few shillings per man to
the unemployed, the sum is now precisely one-half
of what the men at work earn by their labour ! The
universal cry is, " Let the bound men maintain
those who are unbound," till they can triumph over
the coal-owners and obtain their own terms. The
meeting passed off quietly, after the men in work
had resolved to beggar themselves and children in
supporting their brethren ivho will not woik ! The
pitmen have been committing some gross outrages
at South Shields colliery, for which a reward is
offered. 'We understand the Hetton men have
manifested such a disposition to turbulence, as to
render the presence of troops necessary.—Durham
Chronicle.

On the arrival of the London mail at Fal-
mouth on Monday morning, brining the news of the second
reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, a num-
ber of the respectable inhabitants who had been in wait-
ing, proceeded to decorate the fronts their houses with
laurel, flowers, flags, &e. In the evening a quantity
of fire-works were let off. The inha'a lilts of St. Mattes,
on Monday night, in celebration of the second reading of
the Reform Bill, exhibited a large and splendid bonfire on
a commanding situation on one of the neighbouring hills,
to announce to the country round their heartfelt satisfac•
Lion at the pros' e t of soon being relieved from the thral-
dom of borough domination. On the arriv,il of the post
at Liskeard on Monday, with the news of the second read-
ing of the Reform Bill by the Lords, a merry peal was
rung on the bells there, and in the parish of St. Ice,—
West Briton.

LADY ANNE WYNDHANI.—This Lady, the
mother of Lord M.:lmam, who died at li, Queen-street,
May-fair, on Saturday morning, fell a victim to the pre•
vailing epidemic. She was seized on Friday with the
most alarming symptoms, and her medical attendants had
no hesitation in deciding on the character of the disease.
The case was reported to the Board of Health, and was
included in the official report as a case occurring in St.
George's, I-I-mover-square. On Saturday morning Lord
DURHAM was sent for express from Richmond, and ar-
rived in time to witness the last moments of his larnentei
parent. Some apprehensions were entertained that his
Lordship, from his close contact with :he deceased, might
have imbibed the infection, and by the advice of his phy-
sician he changed the whole of his apparel and returned to
the country, after having given the necessary directions for
the disposition of Lady WYNDHAM'S remains. It is need-
less to say that the feelings of his Lordship were painfully
excited. We understand the remains of her Ladyship
were interred on Sunday morning according to the regu-
lations of the Board of Health. —.Horning Paper.
It has been currently reported for several days
psst, that
_Government has abandoned the intended pro-
ceedings against the magistrates of this city.—Bristol

The LORD MAYOR gave yesterday a hand-
some entertainment at the Mansion-house. The Ministers
were prevented from attending, but several Bishops were
present, and some of the Judge.. It was a splendid fes-
tival, and conducted throughout with good taste; the
healths of the KING and QUEEN, and the Ministers, were
received with extraordinary enthusiasm.

Saturday, information was sent to the police
commissioners, that Miss ROSA MATILDA MAY BAXTER,
a young lady about 19, grandaughter to the Lite Alderman
CROWDER, had eloped. Messengers were sent off in all
directions to discover her retreat. She was traced to the
Zoological-gardens ; and, from further information, it was
ascertained she had made an appointment with Mr. RAY-
MOND NEWTON, of Warwick-,quare, who had for some
time past been secretly paying his addresses to her, to meet
her at the gardens at four. They were punctual, and a
chaise being procured, they set off for Gretna-green ; and
before it was discovered they had got such a start that
there was but little chance of overtaking them.—Morning
Paper.
A True Blue Club has again been formed in
Gloucestershire, and is supported by many of the first men
in the county. The first meeting has been announced to
take place on Tuesday.—Bath Journal.
DE. URA VES, when appointed Minister, was
taken out of his element. His acceptance of the Ministry
was a great error of judgment. After two months' hard
work, he lost his senses, and that to such a degree, that
he forgot his name on his signatures, and, not knowing
what he was doing, he signed " Msyor of Paris."—Soir-
venirs sur

The effigy of Bishop PHILLPOTTS was
burnt at Staindrop on the receipt of the second reading of
the Reform Bill—a piece of intelligence which was re-
ceived with great joy by the inhabitants. —Durham

The construction of railroads seems at pre-
sent to be a favourite speculation on the continent.
Be-
sides the two we have lately had occasion to mention—
one by the Belgians, from Antwerp to Cologne, and ano-
ther by the Dutch, from Amsterdam to the same place—
we learn that one is about to be commenced at Altona,
which will pass by Hamburg, an I proceed to Lubeck, a
distance of about thirty-six English miles. The enter-
prise. is said to be avoured by the Danish Government.
READY "'lT.—Some company in Ireland
disputing relative to the quickness of reply ascribed to the
lower orders of that country, it was resolved to put the
matter to the test in the person of a clown who was ap-
proaching them.
" Pat," said one of the gentlemen, " if
the devil
come, and be determined to have one of
us, whichhe would take ?" " Me, to be
sure." ~And why so ?" " Because he knows he can
>, ~ mere re
yo to u
think
have your honour at any time."

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
