MAItYLEBOLSE VESTkta.7.

At the meeting of the vestry on Saturday, the clerk
read a parr to the vestry concerning a complaint made
last week of a nuisance existing for some time in the
neighbourhood of All Souls Church. It will be remem-
bered that on Saturday last a letter was read from the
churchwardens, complaining of the obscene conduct
carried on openly at a large house facing a new door
which led to the gallery of the above church, the exist-
ence of which nuisance prevented many of the parish-
ioners from using that door, which would otherwise
have been a great convenience .to them. It was then
decided that the vestry-clerk should be desired to write
to the rate-payers of that house, and make a report con-
cerning it to-day: It appears that a communication was
made with Martha Willie, the occupier of the house in
question, who admitted the nuisance, and made a pro-
mise that it should not be repeated.—The vestry was
adjourned at twelve o'clock:

IMPORTANT CHANGE OF THE LAW WITH REGARD
TO Sr:AMEI.I.—A very important alteration has been
made in the law relative to merchant seamen, by an Act
of Parliament passed during the last session, and which
is just about to come into operation. The principle of
compelling all merchant seamen to register themselves
is carried into effect, because, after that date, no master
can carry to sca any seaman, without having first re-
ceived from him his register ticket, which is to be ob-
tained by a seaman on application to the Castom-house
of any port. The master must keep such register
ticket in his possession so long as the seaman is in his
service ; when the seaman leaves it must be restored to
him. The penalty of the master neglecting to obtain
possession of the register ticket of each seaman he
carries to sea is 51. All masters are to take their ap-
prentices to the Custom-house, and obtain register
tickets for them, which thy, masters are to keep in their
possession until the expiration of the apprenticeship.
The Act makes it a misdemeanour to alter a register
ticket, and provides that upon the death of a seaman his
ticket must be returned to the Custom-house. A very
in aerial alteration is alas made in the form of ar-
tioles of agreement, which, after the Ist of January,
must specify the quantity and quality of provisions each
seaman is to receive per (lay ; and it; from any circum-
stances, the allowance is reduced, the seaman is entitled
to 4d. per day additional wages ; but if the reduction
amounts to one-third, then the seaman is entitled to Bd.
prr day additional during such reduction. Every ship,
beyond the medicines now required, is to carry supplies
of lemon or lime-juice, sugar and vinegar, which are to
be served out to the seamen after they shall have been
twelve days on salt provisions, in the following propor-
tions, namely—half an ounce of lemon or lime juice and
sugar per da), and half a pint of vinegar per week, so
long as the use of salt previsions Is continued. Penalty
201. for each default. Every ship carrying 100 persons,
besides those now required by the sth and 6th Victoria,
107, is compelled to carry a surgeon. In cases of wreck,
if the seaman exerts himself to the utmost of his power
to save the ship, cargo, and stores, he is to be paid .his
wages, even though the ship.had not previously carried
freight. Every waster, before he sails on a Voyage, and
when he returns home, is to deliver a list of his crew to
the Custom .house of the port he sails from.
GAS EXPLOS/ON.—On Thursday afternoon, about
four o'clock, a mats, named Ed surd M‘Donald, 50 years
of age, in the employment of the Equitable Westminster
Gas Company,
.11 orseferry-rottd, catered an exeaVtion its
the Vauxhall read with a lighted candle in his hand, for ,
the purpose of examining the various joints ruin,,
of the
gas-pipe, when presently a quantity of
a gas, which .Was
escaping from a small aperture in the pipe, irniteel.-and
exploded with a loud report, auu uefore ale.Doisaid could
effect his escape his clothes caught fire, and his Lace and
hands were frightfully scorched and burnt, He remains
in a state of great suffering.

EXPECTED STRIKE OF TUB COAL-MINERS "S 8;
rious circumstances, which have recently come to 001
,knovvledge, seem to indicate an intention on the Partv
the Lancashire Colliers' Union to cause a general str'
ere long ; and we propose briefly to notice a few tr.,
connected with that agitation which is now so ioat2,4.-
trioitsly fomented amongst the body of working
with the view of making the public arquainteid with t"re
oTet of this inienifesi strike. The remarkable fots,o
of this agitation is the proposal by the coal minerib"),
their employers to force a rise in the price of coals,o,o,
contracting and diminishing the supply to the Po,";01
and then to allow the coal miners to share with W:4
the profits which would result from this artificial scare";
and consequent dearness of an article which, at this se‘of
son of the year, may be termed a prime ne.cessal.„e
life. It may be said that we are not fairly represeut,l7,
the views and objects of the coal miners ; and that
have no intention either to induce or, by a general stril'h.
o
to coerce the masters into a general combination for t"
avowed object of making and keeping coals dear.--071
