At a dinner given on Saturday last, by the captains
of the American New York and London line of packet
ships, to Mr. Joseph Voy, pilot of Gravesend, Captain
D. Chadwick, of the Wellington, on behalf of himself
and his brother commanders, presented Mr. Voy with a
handsome service of plate, value fifty guineas, as a tribute
of respect for his uniform attention as pilot to their ships,
having conducted them successfully from Gravesend to
London for the last twenty-four years.
BRIGHTON, MONDAY.—The Baron and Baroness
Seebach and Count Dmitry Nesselrode arrived last night
by the last train from London, on a visit to Count Ne.sel-
rode, at Pegg's Royal York Hotel. Baron Seebach took
leave of the Baroness and his father-in-law this morning,
and proceeded by the nine o'clock train to Dover, on :his
return to the Continent. The Bareness will commence
sea-bathing forthwith, and, is e understand that Dr.
Franz has also recommended her to take equestrian ex-
ercise on the Downs. Count Nesselrode rode to the
Dyke on horseback on Saturday, and in the evening Dr.
Franz dined with him at the hotel. The Magnet steamer
arrived at the Chain-pier this morning, about one o'clock,
from Dieppe. Among the passengers was M. Kesseleff,
the Russian Chargi d'Affaires at Paris, who imme-
diately proceeded to the York Hotel on a visit to Count
Nesselrode.

The fortunate change in the weather, and the de-
lightful sunshine of the last few days, have revived the
harvest operations with great spirit. Carting wheat was
resumed on Saturday, being continued in many places to
a late hour at night, and yesterday a very large breadth
was cleared. The grain, of course, is rather discoloured,
but the damage is not so great as was feared, and the
gloomy apprehensions which prevailed at one period last
week are now dispelb.d. At Braintree market, on Wed-
nesday, as much as 41. advance over that day fortnight
was asked for old wheat, but not more than 50s. was rea-
lised.—Essex Herald.

RAILWAY TRIP TO LIVERPOOL.—OR Monday even-
ing, at half-past nine o'clock, a special train of forty-
two carriages, containing 1,075 passengers, started from
the station at Euston-square to Liverpool, the fares to
and from being 30s. each. The passengers may return
at the end of seven or ten days, and will have the oppor-
tunity of visiting several interesting places in Lancashire,
as well as in England and Scotland, the fare to Glasgow
being reduced to ss. Trips to Wales and Ireland, as
well as to Fleetwood, will form part of the engagements
for these holidays.
INCENDIARISM.—On Friday last a fire was disco-
vered to have broken out in a straw stack on the pre-
mises of Mr. Samuel Wm. Bacon, of Bull's Bridge farm,
Hempstead, contiguous to a barn and extensive outbuild-
ings, but from the prompt and energetic assistance of
the labourers and others present, was speedily extin-
guished. Sarah Jobson, aged 15, maid-servant in Mr.
Bacon's house, was apprehended late on Friday night by
Superintendent Oakley, and taken on Saturday before
W. IL Layton, Esq., who remanded her to Dunmow
station.—Essex Herald.

CLOSE OF THE PITMEN'S STRIKE.--NEWCASTLE-
UPON-TYNE, SATURDAY.—The strike of the pitmen in
the counties of Northumberland and Durham is now at
an end, the whole of the collieries, with very unimportant
exceptions, having engaged all the workmen they re-
quire on the terms and conditions offered by the
coal-owners previous to the sth of April, when
the strike commenced. The Durham pitmen were
the first to give way, and several collieries on the
Wear and Tees resumed work early in the week.
The Tyne pitmen seemed inclined to hold out
longer, but the determination of the owners to engage
other men if their old workmen held out longer than
yesterday, of which due intimation had been given by
placards plentifully posted in the district, at once de-
cided the struggle in their favour. The coal committee,
which has sat weekly in Newcastle during the progress
of the strike, have called for returns from each col-
liery, showing the number of hewers employed before
the strike commenced, the number intended to be
employed this year, the number of men now engaged
who had been previously employed as heweri in
these counties, the number of strangers employed
who had previously resided in the district, and the
number introduced from a distance. These returns will
ba not only interesting, but exceeding), valuable, from
the practical illustration they are calculated to afford of
the impolicy of strikes, and the injury they inflict even
on the men themselves. After the men had signed the
monthly bond, orders were immediately given by the
colliery agents to replace their furniture in the houses
they had previously occupied, and such a " shifting"
has perhaps never been witnessed before in this or any
other part of the country. It is to be hoped this prac-
tical lesson will not be lost or disregarded in future
years.
