BARNSLEY.—The colliers' strike is nearly at an
end—at several of the pits work is resumed, the masters and
men having come to terms of agreement; and it is expected
that the owners and miners of the other pits will come to
terms in the course of this week. The terms on which the
men have resumed work are a little better than the old
terms, but considerably_ less than what was demanded by the
union.—Doncaster Gazette.
Among the objects depOsited at the bank of M.
Caccia, whose failure was declared at Paris last month, was
a box containing Lord Byron's manuscripts. This box, be-
longing to the Conntess Guiccioli, to whom the great poet's
friendship bequeathed his most precious souvenirs, was yes •
terday withdrawn from the office of the bankruptcy syndic,
and delivered to M, Micard, the Noble Countess's agent.
Besides the manuscripts of all the published works, the box
contains some unpublished poetical pieces and critical notes,
written by Lord Byron himself upon his own work.—Revue
de Paris.
THE LILLIPUTIAN WEST INDIAMAN.--The
patian West Indiaman, which arrived in St. Katharine's
Dock on Sunday morning last, from Bermuda, laden with
arrowroot, is named the Hellespont, Captain Doe. The crew
are six in number; but it is not true that they are all black
men. The captain and one of the seamen are not coloured,
and, with the exception of one, all the rest are mulattoes.
"lie Hellespont was built at Bermuda in March last, this
being her first voyage. She is only 43 tons register, length
52 9-10ths feet, breadth 16 4-10ths, and depth 8 2-10ths feet.
Her construction does great credit to the West India builder.
She' is sloop-rigged; her cabin is unusually large and com-
modious for a vessel of her size, it being nearly one-third of
her length. The whole of her cargo (arrow-root, the first
entire cargo ever imported into London) was discharged on
Thirsday; and notwithstanding she encountered very tem-
pestuous weather during her voyage across the Atlantic, not
the slightest damage was done to either vessel or cargo. Yes-
terday the Hellespont was being varnished and otherwise im-
proved in appearance, by her own gallant crew.
STOCKING-MAKERS' SHOPS.—We understand that
the master framework-knitters are about to adopt rules for
the better governance of their workshops, as respects peace,
good order, and regularity—a measure long wanted in this
locality. The same regulation has long prevailed in Lanca-
shire and other manufacturing districts, and been found to
act well in preventing the use of improper language and con-
versation.—Leicester Journal.
