Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that he should
to-morrow put questions to the Preident of the Marl
of Control relative to the papers that have been
ordered with reference to India, whether they would
contain the memorial sent hone from Calcutta, asking
for the withdrawal of the Governor-General, and whe-
ther the Government had any objection to lay on the
table of the house all the correspondence that had taken
place between them and the Peninsular and Oriental
Company relative to the transmission of troops to
India. He should also put a question relative to the
Moto of Lord Clive's fund.

THE WELSH IRON TRADE.

NEATI3, DEC. 4.
A serious disagreement has broken out between
th.a colliery proprietors and ironmasters of the
Aberdare Mineral district and the colliers and
workmen which has led to a strike of some thou-
sand ironmen, who are now " at play," refusing to
accede to the terms offered thorn by tbeir late em-
ployers. Tho colliers have already proceeded to
acts of intimidation, and it is said that a requisition
has been sent for the military. As the district
accessible by railway direct from London, a few
hours would ba sufficient to bring down a regiment
to Aberdare.

The cause of this state of things is the sudden
stagnation in the iren trade, the price of rails hav-
ing, in a few week=, fallen from 8/. 10s. to 5/. ss.
per ton. There is no d. mand either for America or
India, the two best marts for Welsh iron, except
the home trade, and consequently the ironmasters
found the necessity of reducing the wages of the
men. These reductions on the Aberdare Valley are
to the amount of 20 percent. at the ironworks, and
10 to 15 per cent. at the collieries. At the old
prices a good workman could eirn 265. to 30s. per
week, and the reduction propo'ed would have still
left him a fair weekly income, but in the Aberdare
district the colliers have one and all refused to ac-
cede to the reduction, and are out on strike, and
with little prospect of a return to work. Daily
meetings of the workmen have been held on the
mountain this week, at which they have resolved—
" 1. Not to accept any reduction of wages.
" 2. That the men employed to look after the pumping
and ventilation and other underground work in the pits
should not be allowed to work.

"3. Not to pay the various shopkeepers and tradesmen
the debts owing for provisions had by the colliers during
the past mouth."

It should be explained that the practice is very
general in this district for the shopkeepers to give
credit to the colliers, the accounts of the latter being
paid monthly or fortnigh ly, as they receive their
wages. One shopkeeper alone in Aberdare states
that his Nov. accounts for provisions supplied to
the men are all unpaid, and they amount t) at least
3001. Men of this class are generally very improvi-
dent, and live " from hand to mouth," se that there
is already great distress among them. Some of the
disaffected have gone so far as to threaten to help
themselves from the shops if the shopkeepers refine
them the accustomed credit. On Wednesday night
a number of colliers visited the different pits, and
renewed their threats to the engineers working the
pumps, and yesterday morning a number of them
in a state of perfect nudity amused themselves by
running races directly in front of the house of one
of the masters.

The most serious part of the business is the stop-
page of the eugineeri. These men of course have
not had their wages reduced in the proportion of
the colliers, but the colliers have by their threats
prohibited them from working. The consequence is
that the pumping engines for clearing the pits of
the hourly accumulating water have been stopped
the workings are fast becoming flooded, and in
many instances this is so serious that it would take
weeks and months to restore them to their former
workable condition.

The Aberdare ironworks, belonging to Messrs.
Fothergill, have been compelled to announe3 a re-
duction of the " sale" coal wages 15 per cent., and
of the coal raised for the ironworks 20 per cent.
These terms the colliers refused to accede to, and
consequently the blast furnaces in these works have
been blown out, but the forges, giving employment
to 600 men, are still at work, the coal being pro-
cured from other sources. All the colliers (about
900) employed on these works are on strike, and
not a ton of coal has been raised for some d 'Lys.
. At the Gadby's works about 500 colliers are em-
ployed, and about 20,000 tons of coal are raised
monthly. The colliers having struck, the furnaces
are out and the forges at a stand.
At the Blaengwawr collieries about 500 or 600
tong of coal are usually raised daily, and front 800
to 91)0 men are employed. All the colliers are on
strike, and all the works stopped.
The Cwingrach iron furnaces have also been
blown out some days, and the colliers on strike.
In the Rhondda Valley the colliers have also
turned out. The colliery proprietors, being at this
time at loggerheads with the Taff Vale Railway
Company, with respect to the transport dues alare
that line from the collieries to the shipping port,
are in no hurry to resume operations.
At Merthyr the colliery owners and ironmasters
having resolved upon a reduction of wages of 20 per
par cent., the men held a meeting and came to the
determination to accept the terms for the present.
It is hoped that tlat.sy will adhere to their wise deci-

F. Strong to be Second Lieutenant, and appointed
to the Chatham division.

The following appointments and promotions will
take place in the corps of Royal Marines, dated the
2d ult., viz. :—First Lieutenant E. H. Cox, of the
Artillery Company of Royal Marines, to be Cap-
tain, and appointed to the Plymouth division, vice
M'Callum, removed to the half-pay list on appoint-
ment as Barrack Master. The post of Captain
Instructor of Gunnery at Woolwich, vacant by the
removal of Captain Henry Hotham M'Carthy,
on his appointment as Barrack Master of the
Royal Marines, has created a vacancy in that de-
partment, for which a number of applications have
been made to Sir C. Wood. It has been announced
in reply to the application that the vacancy has
been filled up, the appointment having been con-
ferred o❑ a senior officer. The successful candidate
(it is reported) is Capt. P. H. Fellowes, late serving
on board the flagship Indefatigable, Rear-Admiral
H. Johnstone, on the south-east coast of America.
The appointment will probably not be made known
until the candidate shall have passed a series of
examinations on board the gunnery-ship Excellent
at Portsmouth.

A few hours after the arrival of the store-ship
Rhadamanthus, Master Commander Sturdee, at
Woolwich, on Friday evening, the casing of the
boilers was discovered by the engineer in charge to
be on fire. An alarm of " ship on lire was in-
s-tinily given through the yard by the police on
duty, when a number of riggers were collected, and
assisted by portions of the crews from the various
ships in basin, together with the Fisgard's men,
the floating fire engine was got under way and the
fire extinguished. The damage is rot very con-
siderable. The disaster is accounted for by over-
heating the boilers with the view of putting the
ship to her highest speed, in order to arrive at
Woolwich before nightfall.

Tee .Netv York Journal of Commerce thus de-
scribes the hull of the Adriatic :—" The Adriatic
and the Niagara are modelled on substantially the
same plan, with a studious adaptation of shape
to the course of the water when cleft by the
prow, except that the Niagara is much sharper,
but with less dead rise on dead flat, preserving
her stability amidships ; and both vessels have
many points of resemblance with the America. The
keel, for instance, is curved throughout the entire
length, but with little curvature towards the stern,
while at the other extremity there is a rise of about
nine feet to the water-line, commencing 100 feet
back. Some said to Mr. Steers that in making his
ship so sharp she would go under, but he antici-
pated a result exactly the reverse, conceiving that
the effect would be to throw her out of the water,
so that the more rapid the speed the more she would
rise, diminishing the displacement. Actual expe-
rience has confirmed his theory. The frame of the
Adriatic is all of live and white oak, locus, cedar,
and chestnut, put together in the strongest possible
manner. The ship is plentifully furnished with
patent metallic boats. The principal anchors each
weigh 3i tons, and the cables, each about 100
fathoms, are 21 inches thick."

CRUELTIES ON Tile HIGH SEAS.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 5.

An investigation into the circumstances of al-
leged cruelty sea by the captain and mate of the
Liverpool barque Elizabeth, belonging to Messrs.
Tobin and Son, which is said to have caused the
death of a Portuguese seaman on board named
Francisco Roderigo. terminated to-day, after hav-
ing been adjourned on several occasions.
The first witness called, who gave his evidence on
Saturday last, was H. Renshaw. He said :—I was
a seaman on board the barque Elizabeth, and sailed
in her last about the 27th or 28th of Jan., for New
Calabar, on the coast of Africa. Capt. Pickering
was the master of the vessel. On arriving at Cala-
bar there was a change in the command, and the
prisoner, Captain Christie, was made master of the
Elizabeth, I think, about July. Captain Christie
brought three of the crew of the Faith, the
vessel he bad previously commanded on board
the Elizabeth. Their names were Joseph
Mitchell, Francisco Roderigo, and Mateo Trook
They were all able seamee. The crew consisted al-
together of 21 souls on the homeward voyage. We
left Calabar on Aug. 24, 'With those three men on
board. At that time Roderigo was in the best of
health, stout and robust. He was always in good
spirits, and kept the crew laughing. He did not
appear to be labouring under any disease. He was
was probably 27 or 28 years of age. He told me he
was a native of Malaga. He did not complain of
illness, but did his work willingly and cheerfully.
When we had been at sea from 40 to 60 days, one
evening, from 6 to 8 o'clock, I saw the captain
seize the deceased by the neck, and throw him with
violence on the deck, with his face downwards. He
kicked him repeatedly over various parts of the
body—head, breas', and right thigh—using the
most diabolical language. Roderigo begged of him
in the name of God and the Virgin not to kill him,
his language being half Spanish, half English. He
said, "Por Madte deiDios, don't kill me !" The cap-
tain continued to exclaim, " G— d— you, you
worthless fellow, I will kill you 1" Roderigo
came forward as well as he could, partly crawling
and partly walking. He said to the crew, " I think
something broke ; I no straighten try back ; I wish
you look." He said, " Ah, by gar, I think Capt.
Christie want to kill me ; I feel something broke."
He was moaning, and continued to moan all that
night. When he went forward he could not stand
upright, but hung forward in a stooping position.
I examined his body that night. He said, " Harry,
my back feel very much sore ; please little rub
my back." I did so, and he groaned more and
more, and said, '• Harry, rub easy ; you hurt me
too much." One of the joints of the spine of the
back was sticking out like-the joint of a bent finger,
and his body was discoloured in various places. He
complained to us all the next morning that he was
unable to turn out. He remained in his bunk ; and
either that day or the day following the captain
came in the forecastle door, and sung out, "Now,
you lazy Russian, what are you doing there ?
Come out of that, or I'll clap a watch tackle on
you and bouie' you out." Roderigo then came
out on to the deck, apparently in a feeble state,
lame and stooping. He complained of his teeth
being loose, either then or a short time after. He
had been spitting blood on the previous night after
the kicking. I never saw him spit blood betore the
kicking, but he continued to do so afterwards until
his death. When the deceased went on deck the cap-
tain told him if ho caught him in the forecastle again
during his watch on deck he would serve him as he
had served h;m before. The captain told the second
mate t o give deceased some w( rk, and the mate gave
him some " sinnett" to do (plaiting ropes). Either
that day or during the 24 hours when it came to Ro-
derigo's turn to go to the wheel he complained that
lie was unable to do it, and a dayafterwards scarcely
passed that he did not get a rope's-ending from the
captain ; and I frequently heard the deceased cry
out, " For God's adze," or " For the Holy Virgin's
sake," not to kill him. The captain used to make
pretty nearly the same answer—that ho would kill
Roderigo, and that hes should not live to see Liver-
pool. One evening, from 4 to 6, when Roderigo was
at the wheel (probably-about a fortnight after the
first kicking), the captain said to him, with an oath,
" Why don't you keep the ship steady ?'' Roderigo
made no reply. The captain walked up and down
the deck a few times, and then said, again swearing,
" If I have to speak to you again, I will give you a
little more of what you got the other night ;" after
a few more turns he went in front of him and said
with an oath, again, " You will have it, then ?" He
raised li;s foot to kick him, the man stoaped, and
the captain kicked him twice in the face. I could not
say whether he had boots, shoes, or slippers on. The
effect of the kicks was that his lips were swollen and
one of his eyes was disfigured. Roderigo made the
usual prayer, "For God's sake" not to kill him. I
remember the prisoner Millard, the chief mate,
coming into the forecastle about a fortnight after
the last kicking. He came to the forecastle door
about 12 o'clock at night and inquit ad if the look-out
was relieved yet. Oa being answered "No" he asked
who's look-out it was, and some person answered
that it was "the Russian's." The mate, swearing
at Roderigo, asked why he had not relieved the
look out. The deceased said " Me no save (I
didn't know) my look-out," when the mate
ssized him, threw him on deck with great violence,
and kicked him with all his force. Roderigo said,
" Do not kill me, or kill me outright ; get a hat-
chet and cut off my head." The mate replied that
he would kill him if he did not go and keep the
look-out.. He crawled on his hands and knees up
the forecastle ladder, groaning all the time, and
went on to the topgallant forecastle. I went up to
him and he said, " Oh, Harry, I no can see ; the
blood keep coming to my eyes !" I went to him
three or four time. The first time ho svas sitting
on the " bit-head ;" the second time ho was half-
lying and half-reclining on bisside. He was groan-
ing al the time. I told him if the mate caught
him in that way he would give him some more
kicking, and he replied, " Oh, Harry, I uo can see;
two time I fall clown ; my head go round and
round." I never saw him stand upright after that.
To the best of my belief he was relieved at four
bells. I helped him down before the watch was
over. I helped him down, step by step, into his
berth. He said, "All the time I spit blood come ;
all my inside broke this time." Ho said, " Me
save (I know) I die—me save I no live to see Liver-
pool !" He was moaning all night. The captain
came to him either-on that or the following night
while he was in his berth. Using similar language
he told the deceased that unless ho came out he
would " bouse" him out with the watch tackle.
Roderigo crawled out as well as he could, and sat
down on some spars which were on the deck. The
captain said to him, " If I catch you in that fore-
castle again during your watch on deck I will give
you some more ' • and he told the second mato to
keep him at work—on the look-out, if he could do
nothing else. After this he was unable to take the
wheel, and ho could only just shuffle one foot be-
fore the other. To the best of my belief the cap-
tain did not strike him for 10 or 15 days after, but
frequently swore at him, and told him to move
quinker. Otte morning, about a fottuightafter-
wards, I was at the wheel from 6 to 8. Roderigo
was employed, with the second mate and
another'
l
man, heaving the log. After the or,o,had beep
hove and Roderigo had reeled up the line again
he was taking the log reel acrasi the deck, hslp-
int, himself along with his band on the edge
of the poop, in a very feeble state,,,
when the cap-
t(in called out to him with an oath, 1)o you come
upon my quatter-,deek to act Get on quicker, or
1 will hurt y you. He got hold of him by the back
of his head, threw him on the deck, and commenced
kicking him all over the body. Roderigo could not
move quicker ; ho was in a dying state then.
.1 was
relieved at the wheel, and the captain was still
kicking Roderigo. About ten minutes afterwards
I saw Roderigo crawling on the deck on his hands
and knees, falling flat every minute. Some one
said, "Ali, my poor fcl'ow, you have been catching
it again ;" and lie said, " Ah, the eapitaine no kick
me any more ; I die now." He was helped to his
berth, and after that clay he never moved out,
unless wish assistance. He was spitting blood at
that time, and continued to do so alniest continu-
ally till his death ; moaning also day and night. He

died on Saturday night, five or six days after. He
called to me that evening, and said, •‘ Harry you
Catholic, me Catholic, too ; you save my mother,
live in Malaga,, poor woman ; my father die ; my
mother v,ry poor woman. I think I die. Please
time you go to Liverpool speak to Spanish Consul,
get my money, and send to my mother, Maria
Roderigo, at Malaga. If I die and no live to see
Liverpool, by Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mother,
have justice !" I told him that I would : and he
told me to put my hand on my heart and promise
before God that I would do so, and I did.
Tho inquiry was resumed to-day, the first wit-
ness examined being Daniel Gillespie, a seaman on
board the bark Elizabeth, who corroborated the
strikingsand kickings of Roderigo by the captain,
when the deceased was at the wheel. The wit-
ness also described other rope's-endings and beat-
ings of Roderigo, and also the effect of this course
of treatment upon Roderigo's person and health.
He also spoke to blJws and kicks given by Millard,
the mate.

Dr. Thomas Inman was next called. He said
he had hoird the whole of the evidence in the case.

In reply to Mr. Tyndal, Dr. Inman said the in-
juries stated would be sufficient to cause the death
of an otherwise healthy person.
Mr. Wm. Wall, bouso surgeon to the Northern
Hospital, agreed with the opinions expressed by
Dr. Inman.

Th;s being the case for the prosecution,
Mr. Snowball addressed his worship on behalf
of the mate.

Mr. Bluck next addressed the Court on behalf of
Captain Christie.
Mr. Mansfield said the case was invested with
some difficulty. He did not think it proper, with
the evidence before him, to commit the captain for
trial on the charge of murder, but ho should com-
mit him for feloniously killing and slaying—in other
words, for manslaughter. The case against the
mate, lie thought, was very much diminished in
magnitude, and he should only commit him for an
assault.

On being cautioned in the usual way, the captain
reserved his defence for the jury ; but the mate
stated that the occasion on which he struck the de-
ceased was not for not keeping the lcok-out, but
because he found him in bed when it was his turn
at the wheel.

On the application of Mr. Snowball, the mate
was admitted to bail, himself in 1001. and two sure-
ties of 50/. each.

The grand jury at the assizes had been discharged
before the case closed, so that the prisoners will be
tried at the March assizes, unless the case should
be taken at an earlier period before the Central
Criminal Court.

SERIOUS CHARGE.

PRESTON, FRIDAY.

To-clay Mr. Monk, surgeon, a boroughand county
magistrate, was brought up at the Tow.a-hall in
custody on the charge of forging a will. The case
excited great interest, and the court was
crowded. Mr. Ascroft, the town clerk, and Mr. R.
Segar, barrister, prosecuted ; Mr. IL A.Cross, M.P.,
barrister, instructed by Mr. W. Blackhurst, beingfor
the defence. On Thursday a coroner's inquest was
held, arising out of the same matter. Ed. Turner,
reedmaker, St. Paul's-road, died on the 25th Sept..
During his illness he was attended by the pri-
soner. He died in a fortnight, and at his death it
was found that the prisoner had succeeded to de-
ceased's effects, which amounted to about 1001.
after his debts were paid. The rumours which were
circulated led to the exhumation of Turner's body
at the cemetery, and to the transmission of the
stomach and intestines to Professor Taylor for
examination. Professor Taylor's examination is
not yet finished, The inquest on Thursday was
adjourned ifter the ev:denco of Alice Chadwick,
the, housekeeper, haft been given. That evidence
shovTed that deceased during his illness was at-
tended by Mr. Monk, who in an hour after his
patient's death demanded the keys and removed
money and hooks from the house. The man died
on the Friday and Mr. Monk ordered the funeral
for the Sunday, on which day he took some silver
spoons away in his pocket. Subsequently he dis-
posed of the stock in the workshop, and the house-
hold furniture. The inquest was adjourned till
the 11th inst.

Immediately after the inquest Mr. Monk was
taken into custody by the superintendent of the
police, and lodged in the lock-up.
To-day there were eight magistrates on the bench,
Mr. Ainsworth being chairman.
Mr. Segar briefly stated the facts, and expressed
the pain and embarras -meat he felt in being engaged
in the case. 110 called
Mr. William H. Hinder, of the Consistory Court,
Lancaster, who produced the will alleged to have
been forged.
The Rev. Thomas Clark, surrogate, said ho re,
membered the 26th of September. The prisoner
came to his house and said that a man named
Turner was dead, and money was wanted to pay
his -workmen's 'wages ; that he had been to the
bank, and they declined to give him any without
proper authority on his part to receive it. He said
there was no will found, or words to that effect, and
that there were no relations to deceased known
nor likely to be heard of, and therefore letters of
administration could be granted to him, as prin-
cipal creditor. He furt,hkr stated that he had had
repeated conversations with the deceased, and knew
exactly wl:at he wanted to do with his money.
Tho housekeeper was to have ss. a week paid to her
as long as she lived. He applied for letters of ad-
ministration, and witness read him the follow-
ing instruction which is given to surrogates :
"No creditor can obtain administration without
first issuing a citation, and obtaining a decree of
Court." Mr. Monk then wished hint to apply at
Lancaster for that purpose. -On the following
Tuesday he came again, and witness told him he
had an answer from Lancaster. The prisoner said
no answer was required, as a will had been found.
He produced a will, and witness administered the
oath to the prisoner as sole surviving executor.
[The will in question bequeathed 3s. a-week to
the deceased's housekeeper, and the remainder of
the effects t- the prisoner. It was ptinctured in
the margin, contained legal phraseology, and Ives
dated February, 1855. Mr. Segar said the paper
on which it was written was evidently the blank
outside of a draught. It purported to be signed
by Edward Turner, the deceased, James Holden,
and Joseph Wilkinson.]
Witness stated further that he afterwards re-
ceived the probate from Lancaster, and gave it to
the prisoner, who paid the charges.
Mr. John Fisher, manager of the Lancaster
Bank in Preston, proved that on the 26th of Sep-
, tember the prisoner applied for Turner's balance at
the bank, Ht. odd. He produced a sheet of letter
paper cont tilling writing, on which witness declined
to pay him the money. He paid it on the 2d of
October, on the production of the will.
The paper in question on which payment of the
balance was refused was net produced, the prisoner
pleading that lie had not time.
Robert Farnworth said he knew the deceased's
handwriting. The signature in the will was not
his. He did not know such a man as Holden.
Never heard deceased say anything about a will.
Worked for him five years, and knew him well.
Joseph Wilkinson said the signature of his name
in the will was not his handwriting. He knew
nothing about it. He was acquainted. with Tur-
ner 14 year 3.
The prisoner was then remanded till Tuesday
next. Bail was refused.
The prisoner is the senior alderman of the borough
and a deputy-lieutenaut of the county. He was
Mayor a few years ago, and was spoken of for the
office at the last election.

faculty of digestion was brought to a complete stand-still,

attention been providentially drawn to the Revalenta Ara-
bica. The very satisfactory character of the testimonials
induced me to make a trial of it; even within a few days
after I commenced using it some of the worst symptoms were
so much subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity
of food and drink without any injurious consequences. This
I had not been able to do for four years previously, and dur-
ing the last two months of this time not in any measure ex-
cept at the imminent risk of my life, though the greatest
care was used in the selection of what was taken; sleep had
nearly forsaken me, this has now been restored to me, and I
am now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time,
able to perform those functions of animal life which before
had been nearly suspended in me. I have seen it produce
equally good effects in other cases among some of mv
friends to whom I _have recommended it, but to ex-
plain all the benefit which I have received from it
would be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., JAMES Cirarmaw.
