THE TURN-OUT MILLWRIGHTS AND MECHANICS.
—The millwrights, moulders, mechanics, and boiler
makers, who turned out on the 6th of January, at
Messrs. Walker, Hacking, and Co.'s, Bury, still remain
on the strike, but their places have all been taken up
by hands from other places. The number who turned
out was upwards of 350, but most of them have got
employment in other shops ; the number now out is
from 100 to 120, who are supported by the trades' unions,
&c.—Manchester Guardian.

Yesterday the marriage of Viscount Lascelles,
eldest son of the Earl of Harewood, and Lady Elizabeth Joanne de
Burgh, eldest daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanri-
earde, was solemnized at St. George's Church, Hanover-square.
The arrival of the Marchioness of Clanricarde with the youthful
and lovely bride was delayed by a centre temps, which happily was
not attended with any serious consequences. On their way to the
church, near New Burlington-street, the off side horse slipped on
the wood pavement in Regent-street, and by his fall thepole of the
carriage swerved and caught one of the hind weeels of an omni-
bus, when the pole was broken about three feet down. The coach.
man, by this accident, lost all command over the horses, and, turn.
ing round, both animals became lodged between the posts at the
corner of New Burlington-street. Several gentlemen were
promptly at the carriage, and assisted the Marchioness and Lady
Elizabeth to alight, and they were obliged for a short time to re-
main at Messrs. Holmes's. The servant immediately proceeded to
the church, and the Earl of Harewood's carriage was shortly in
readiness to convey the bride and the Marchioness to the church.
After the ceremony the bride and bridegroom left for the Marquis
of Clanricarde's mansion, on Carlton House-terrace, and the wed-
ding party then separated. The happy bride and bridegroom lett
town shortly after two o'clock for Lord Carteret's seat, Hawnes.
place, Bedfordshire, to pass the honeymoon.

RIVER TRAFFIC.—By the iron steam-boats alone,
which pass from London•bridge to Chelsea, there were conveyed
last year 2,800,000 persons.

FATAL,EFFECTS OF WEALTH.—Yesterday'afternoon
an inquest was held at the Jolly Anglers, Kentish-town, on the
body of George Carter, aged forty-one, late of 5, Trafalgar-
place, Kentish-town. The deceased had been originally a
stone-mason, and some time ago married a lady having a
fortune of 5001. a-year. As soon as he became possessed of
the wealth he indulged in every excess, was seldom or never
sober, and, according to report, would drink thirty glasses
of gin before breakfast. A disease of the lungs and liver, and
ultimately delirium tremens, were the consequence. On last
Sunday, while labouring under delirium, he attempted suicide, by
inflicting several wounds with a razor on his throat and abdomen.
He lingered until Tuesday, when death closed his career. Mr.
Mullins, the surgeon, said that he died of a disease of the lungs
and liver, and not from the wounds. Verdict—Natural death.
SINGULIR ESCAPE FROM DROWNING AT BLACK
FRILR9- BRIDUE.—On Thursday afternoon a narrow escape from
drowning occurred at Elackfriars-bridge. A boy about nine years
of age, the son of a bed.sacking manufacturer, residing at No. I,
Norway-street, 01d-street, St. Luke's, had been playing with some
other boys at the extreme end of the common sewer, known as
Fleet-ditch, on the northwest side of the bridge, when he suddenly
slipped, and fell into the river. The force of the tide drove him out
into the stream, and he passed under the third arch, near the pier, on
the eastern side. An alarm being raised, a boat under the direction
of Mr. John Ware, the rier-master, instantly put off, and although
to, body had disappeared, the cool and deliberate judgment of Mr.
Ware had the effect of ascertaining the precise spot where the boy
lied sunk, and with the hitcher he at once brought him to the sur.
face. Having been got out, the boy was carried in an almost life-
less state to the receiving house, where having received prompt
medical attendance, he ultimately recovered, and was conveyed
home.
ALTERATION IN THE JULY LIST OF THE MORNING
MAILS.—The following very important alterations have been made
in the list of morning mails, corrected up to the Ist of July, by
command of the Postmaster-General. The revised list bears date
the llth inst. :—Brampton, Burton (Westmoreland), Hartlepool,
Haydonbridge, Hexham, Northallerton, Ripon, and Stockton-upon-
Tees, are removed from the morning dispatch; consequently, news-
vendors sending papers, and parties posting letters for any of the
above towns, must be aware that no bags for either of them will be
made up until evening until further orders. It ought also to be
generally known by the public that in addition to the towns
alphabetically given in the printed Post-office list, the following
towns have bags made up and dispatched every morning :—Brent-
wood, Chelmsford, Chester.le- street, Chorley, Colchester, Dorking,
Dudley, Dursley, Gurnsey, Hythe, Ipsrich, Jersey, Kelvedon, Ro.
chester, Rye, Tetbury, Witham, and Wooton-under-Edge. For
those places, as well as all the other morning mails, including all
Scotland and the whole of Ireland, letters should be posted at the
several receiving houses throughout the metropolis, by 8 a.m.;
newspapers by 7 a.m. At the several branch offices, excepting
Lombard-street, letters by 8 a.m. ; newspapers by 730 a.m. At
the Lombard-street and General Post-office, letters by 8 30 a.m.,
and newspapers by 7 35.
VERY HORRIBLE.—A correspondent of the Cin-
cinnati Herald relates the following occurrence. It is said to have
occurred near Oakland Cottage, Mississippi :—" A elaveholder, a
short time previous to his death, made provisions for the liberation
of his slaves. Those whe were entrusted with the execution of his
designs failing, or refusing to carry out his last will and testament
concerning the slaves, the latter became impatient to enjoy their
long looked for boon. At length, disappointed, expecting to be
sold, and incensed at their oppressors, they set fire to the overseer's
dwelling and burnt it to the ground. A little child, which they
were unahle to rescue, was consumed in the flames. The slaves,
eight or nine in number, were taken, and two of them hung on the
spot. The others were taken into an old log house and chained
to the floor. The house was then set on fire, and these poor
victims, by a slow fire, burned to death in this most shocking
manner, while the air was rent with their unavailing shrieks and
screams."
RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—We have now made up, from
our official returns, the amount of the railway traffic for the past six
months. It appears that, on thirty-nine railways, amounting to
nearly 1,800 miles, the aggregate traffic is, in round numbers,
:1,850,0001., being 550,0001. more than for the corresponding six
months of last year. This increase of revenue amounts to twenty
per cent, on the total receipts of the half-year; and if we take the
value of money at four per cent, per annum, this will give above
27,000,000/. as the increase in the real value of the railway pro.
perty of the country since last July. Of this increase of half.
yearly revenue, we find that the London and Birmingham Com-
pany has 52,0001. on the half-year, being an increase of exactly
2,0001. a week. The Great Western has an increase of 41,0001.,
the Grand Junction of 30,0004, the Midlands of 57,0001., the
Brighton 14,0001., and the South- Western B,OOC/, Some of these
lines have made extensions ; but the greater part of the traffic Is
due to the increasing prosperity of the country, and the increase of
the revenue has been in some cases in spite of large reductions in
the rate of the fares.—Railway Chronicle.
CLERKS.--The first clerk of all is the Government
clerk, whose situation is the most difficult of all; for the filling up
of the office hours from 10 to 4, will require a great amount of
ingenuity. The newspaper will furnish conversation, and, in the
early part of the month, the magazines will affard light reading
that will be a relief to the dreadful monotony of doing
nothing. It need hardly be suggested, that if a
stranger should enter, he must be received with a
stare and a yawn, while some of the old authorities
recommend the whistling of a popular air from the last new opera.
The bank clerk differs from the Government clerk apparently,
rather than essentially. If an individual enters with a cheque to
be changed, be sure not to raise your eyes from a desk at which
you are engaged, in drawing some figures on e pad, probably for
your own amusement; and if you are laughing or joking with a
fellow-clerk, do not cut short a good story to attend to an impatient
fellow who comes to pay in or draw out money, Railway clerks
ore next in importance, and they should endeavour to show their
dignity by declining to speak to Any one who addresses them. If
information is wanted, there are the printel4 bills to afford it; for
the duty of the railway clerk is confined to taking the fares, and
giving the tickets. If you are in this situation, you §hoßld not
make youreisif too cheap, and you should therefore only be v.sit,lp
few minutes before the starting of the train, when, as a crowd
will have been waiting
give the tickets very slowly ;
be sure at least of a welcoMe. Always
impatiently for you for some time, you will
for as patience is a virtue, you shonld take every opportunity of
teaching others to practise it.—Punch.
DISCOVERY or ANCIENT COINS.— On Tuesday
morning a very singular discovery was made by some men
employed in excavating for the purpose of forming a founda.
tion fur houses intended to be erected in Maiden-lane,

coins which he conceived to be mere brass, carelessly men.

at them,

the fact, who immediAely Instituted a further search, and
was at length rewarded by finding, at a depth of between ten and
twelve feet, a small iyon vessel shaped somewhat like ail urn,
which, upon being forced open, was found to contain a large
qtrintity of gold and silver coins of the reign Of Constantine in the
year 306, and several others bearing a date, b 3. These were,
, however, so much defaced, that no other inscription could
