THE IRON TRADE.
STRIKE OF THE COLLIERS AND PUDDLERS.

We regret to learn that the partial strike of the puddlers, in the
parish of Tipton and other parts of the district, is likely to be fol-
lowed by a general turnout of the colliers-and ironstone miners.
Notice was given a fortnight since to the puddlers, that the reduc.
tion of one shilling a ton would be generally adopted by the mai.
ters, and as the notice expires this day, it is expected that opera-
tions will be suspended in most of the works in South Staffordshire.
The thick coal colliers, with the stone-getters, hare also had no-
tices in the district west of Dudley, for a reduction of sixpence,
bringing the wages of the former to 45., and the latter to as., per
day. These notices expired last Saturday, and hundreds of men
are now perambulating the neighhourhot d in every direction,
watching the pits at work, and threatening those who continue in
employment at the reduced rates. From the measures adopted by
the " turn.outs," it is expected that all the mines in the district
will very soon be at a stand still. This st..te of things, in
connexion with the expiration of the puddlers' notices, will
cause one of the greatest strikes hitherto witnessed in South
Staffordshire. It is difficult to say how the disagreement
will terminate, as the masters have resolved not to submit to
the terms of the workmen, and the latter stem equally bent
on enforcing their demands. The stocks of coal are very
limited, and should no immediate arrangement be come to, the
masters will be obliged to blow out their furnaces, and thus throw
out of employment all the hands engaged in the manufacture of
iron. It is to be hoped that matters will not be pushed to this
extremity, as the men and their families are already in a state of
great destitution ; and although they may obtain partial employ.
ment in field labour, this resource cannot last long; and while
they continue " at play," workmen and colliers will flock In from
other districts, and take their ph_ces in the mines and at the Air.
naces, We have been informed, on what we deem good authority,
that by the stoppage of three furnaces alone in the parish of Tipton.
during the present strike, the puddlers have sacrificed in wages
1,0001. a-week. Thus 15,0001., which would otherwise have
found its way into different channels of industry, giving employ-
ment and bread to hundreds of families, is irrecoverably lost, and
this unfortunate state of things is not only to be perpetuated, but
widely extended, producing discontent and want in a district which.
in the present state of trade, possesses all the elements of long.
continued prosperity. Regarding the price of iron, it is difficult
to arrive at anything like a correct conclusion as to the actual
position of the market ; but the certain, and not very remote supply
of rails, &c , required by the companies whose Bills have passed
through Parliament, and the general exhaustion of the stocks held
by consumers, combine to give increased stability and prosperity
to the trade—Birmingham Journal.

SUNDERLAND, AUG. 21.—During the past week
the weather has been extremely wet, with frequent thunderstorms.
The river has been much swollen, and, from the quantity of fresh
water, it is evident that the rain which has fallen to the west has
been considerable. The corn crops in the immediate neighbourhood
are laid, and in many instances have been seriously damaged. The
crops of potatoes are extremely good, and as to-day a material change
for the better has taken place In the weather, there is a reasonable
ground for believing that the harvest will not be, on the whole, so
unfavourable in this district as was expected by many. On !gouda},
evening a heavy gale sprung up, which continued, with slight inter-
missions, until Wednesday. Several vessels In the harbour were
broken from their moorings, but no damage was done to shipping
along the coast.
LONDON AND WINDSOR DIRECT RAILWAY. —The
inhabitants of Windsor are determined still to persevere In their
efforts to obtain the royal permission fora direct railway from Lon-

Walk, or by crossing the Thames to a terminus In Datch_t-kno,
close to the Home Park. A requisition is now in course of signature
to the Mayor of Windsor for another public meeting of the inhabi-
tants to be convened on the subject,
