BaussoLs, JULY 14.—A letter from Bielefeli, near Dusseldorf,
says, " All the workmen employed in the viaduct Schilderche struck
yesterday.; the same is the case on the whole line. They demand
an increase of lfr. 50c. on their wages. This morning (the 1 I th)
they have committed serious excesses. The officers and the police
have been ill-treated by them:; 2,000 workmen are encamped on
the road, and are demolishing the works which are begun ; the
drums are beating here and a battalion of Fusileers of the garrison
is going to Schilderche with their arms loaded. Further particulars
to-morrow."
We have received a letter from the banks of the Rhine, which
states that Prussia intends to employ its whole influence in the
Congress at Carlsruhe, to support its actual tariff of Customs in the
States of the Zollverein, under which tariff those states have ac-
quired an extension of their manufactures and a degree of prospe-
rity which none of them knew previously to the formation of the
Zollverein. It is expected that Prussia will be out.voted in the
Congress en the question of cotton thread. It is not very certain
that it will succeed against the demands of many places which live
by spinning thread by hand against the new petition of that spun
by machinery in England.
There is no reason to be surprised that no foreign diplomatic
agent appears at Carlsruhe, for the conferences are secret, and
suspicion would attach to any step from without which should
seem to be designed to influence the delegates of any of the confe-
derate States.

FRENCH PLAY s.—These delightful performances
closed last evening, after a most successful season of seventy-one
nights, during which eighty-four pieces have been produced, fifty

which his efforts have been clowned, for never was manager more
untiring in his exertions to secure his patrons. Au revoir, Mr.
Mitchell, we anticipate great pleasure in meeting you again next
season.

shout a quarter-past three o'clock, as the lamplighter on the dis-
trict was going his rounds for the purpose of extinguishing the
gas-lights. his attention was arrested by a volume of smoke, which
he perceived issuing from the tear of the building belonging to
General Ramsay, in Jehn-street, near Berkeley-square. Having
succeeded in arousing the inmates, it was found that the back
kitchen on the basement story was in a blaze. Immediate and
effective assistance being rendered without delay, the progress of
the flames was arrested by the Inmates, police-constables, and fire-
men from the brigade, County, and West of England offices, and
the flames were happily prevented from extending beyond the
kitchen, the contents of which were destroyed. Tire origin of the
fire could not be satisfactorily ascertabled-
SHOCKING OCCURRENCE DUItING A BALL AT WHITE
CONDUIT HOUSE.—Yesterday morning, between one and two
o'clock, the following singular and sicking accident occurred at
a ball at White Conduit House, which followed the dinner
held there on Tuesday evening, by the ratepayers of St. Pancras,
in celebration of the fourteenth snniversary of the passing
of the Vestries Act. In order to gratify the wish of Com-
modore Sir Charles Napier, M.P., who had signified his intention
of being present, Mr. Ripley, the conductor of the entertain-
ment, had especially engaged the pipe of the Earl of Aberdeen,
and 3 number of Scotch friends, to ierform the dances of their
country. The whole party were magnificently attired in the
Highland costume, and commenced bf dancing a Highland reel,
in which the gallant Commodore took fart, and danced with equal
spirit to any of his juniors in yer.rs, amidst the loud applause of the
crowded assembly. The celebrated fullagorum" was next called
ttra steps requiring

ordinary
the development of great muscular incidentpower, to that dance, a
young man, named Warren, suddenly messed his footing, and fell with
his rieht arm under his body. Theoccurrence at first created a laugh,
er, it soon became evident,
but from the fainting condition of the dare
that some serious injury had been stratined. Sir Charles Napier
was one of the first to run to Mr. Warren's assistance, and he was
removed in an Insensible condition tothe private apartments of
Mr. Rouse, the proprietor, and there seen by one or two medical
gentlemen, who were in the ball-room at the tiwne. On examina-
tion, it was found, that his right arm was broken in a frightful
manner, and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex
Hospital, where he received the necessa'Y attention, and was then
removed to his residence, in Chapel-strett, Tottenham Court-road,
where he now lies. The arm is so drealfully shattered, that it is
feared the entire loss of it will be the resalt.
