this afternoon :

Capt. J. E. Montgomeril, R.N., to H.M.S. Blanche (com-
missioned); Lieut. A. H. Markham Lewis A. Beaumont,
to the Blanche; Lieut. F. Li. D. Bedford, to rho Implaca-
ble, for service in the Sealark ; Lieut. A. W. Hamilton, to
the Bellerophon ; Lieut. Win. Mager, to the Pembroke
Lieuts. R. S. Ward and E. S. Dugdale, to the Minotaur.

BATHING IN VICTORIA PARK.—The First Com-
missioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., has decided on in-
creasing the bathing lake in Victoria-park to nearly double
its present size. The works will be commenced imme-
diately, and following the best precedents of the public
works carried on in Lancashire during the cotton distress
will be done by task work. In this way, while employ-
ment will be given to many in the cast of London willing,
but at this time unable, to find work, a permanent
public improvement will be effected with economy and
despatch.
APPREHENDED GREAT STRIKE OF COLLIERS I
SOUTH WALES.—Tho depressed state of the coal trade
throughout South Wales has resulted in a movement to
n.ake a reduction in the wages at the close of the present
month. The reduction is expected to be 15 per cent. In
addition to the coal cutters the men engaged in the iron
trade, which is in a still further depressed state, are also to
be included in the reduction. There aro some indications
of the men resisting so large a reduction, and it is feared
that there will be a general strike of the colliers through-
out the whole of South Wales.
Cue eourte of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 00 days' sight is about lloOper cent. At this rate there
