--------
The principles of good taste are gradually spread-
ing. We cannot look about us without encountering in-
dications of their general diffusion. They may be seen in
the improvements in our streets and highways—in the
ornaments of our public buildings—in the sites of our
private residences—in the arrangements of our shops
and bazaars—and even in our newspaper advertisements.
The majority of respectable tradesmen have now good
taste enough to feel ashamed of having their names as-
sociated with those pictorial daubs of business, or shop-
front signs, which are in the course of abandonment even
by the venders of quack medicines. Nor let it be consi-
dered as stepping out of our province if we editorially no-
tice this growing improvement in public taste, and raise
our voice in hearty and encouraging approbation of it.
Good taste is nearly akin to good mot als ; and, so surely
as the taste of any people improves, so surely may be
traced among them a diminution of the grosser offences
against society. The man who is capable of extracting
delight from a highly finished picture, or from the forms
of beauty and grace developed in a piece of sculpture,
has within the elements of many social virtues.—Hull
Advertiser.

TEE BARNSLEY COLLIERS' STRIKE.—The main
body tf the rrken in this district are still out. There are a
few who have resumed their labour at nearly all the pits in
the neighbourhood, and they are few indeed, with the ex-
ception of Worsboreugh Park collieries, where the men are
receiving as much for their labour as the colliers are asking
at Darley Maine. Richard Thorpe, Esq., of Wilthorpe col-
lieries, consented to give his men an advtln.T on Monday, on
condition that they would give up their union cards. The
men acceded to his terms, and resumed labour on Tuesday
morning. —Doncaster Gazette.
