The late Thomas Reynolds, who gave important in-
formation to the Irish Government in 1798, during those
times of trouble, received during his life 45,7401. of the
public money, including an annuity of 1,0001. for thirty-
seven years. The. pension reverts to his widow and two
sons.

The collieries of the Messrs. Kinnersley and William•
son, at Golden• hill and Ridsgrove, have re-commenced
working at their old rate of wages in the Potteries.
They are the most extensive in this part.of Statibrdshire,
extending through a district of four miles in length, and
will be able to supply an immense quantity of coal for
the manufactiu•ics at Burden', Lougporti Tunstall, &c.,
which will, it is hoped, put an end to the "strikes." It
is expected that the other pits will soon also commence
work.

On Friday last, as an inquest was being held upon the
body of Mr. Thomas Soll6, a farmer of Bishops Cleeve,
near Cheltenham, in an upper room of the cottage of the
deceased, the floor gave way in the centre, precipitating
twelve of the jury, with the coroner, surgeon, and police,
into the cellar below. They were extricated by means of
a ladder, and fortunately received no injury from the fall.
The annual met ling; of the members of the Wesleyan

Hannah or Mr. John Scott. _ _

Holkham Hall, the princely baronial mansion of the
late Lord Leicester, is now closed to the public, in conse-
quence of the Earl's death.

THE COLLIERS-STRIKE.
PROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
STA FFORIADI RE POTTERIES, LONGTON, T DESDAY.
With great ,pleasure I write to inform you that an amicable
adjustment of the colliers' grievances has just been effected with
a large firm, and which will have its full weight on others.
The Broadsfield Colliery Company, Alderman Copeland, Philip
Barnes Broade (lord of Fenton Manor, and a Magistrate), and
William Baker, Estes., have arranged with their men, who
commence work to-tool row morning, under the almost unani-
mous accordance of the whole body of colliers present at this
meeting. The terms are these—there will no longer be any
booty-colliers, to take much of what the men earn, without
sharing the labour and danger ; each man is to be paid 4s. 3d.
I,er day, for nine hours work, but not to have his burn (burthen
of) coal for house fuel ; the regular (former) customers to be
served only ; and their workmen, with the employed colliers,,
to contribute to the support of the men whose employers are
non-contents. A diversion in favour pf the old system was
tried, but failed; and the tearful eyes of some of the booty-
colliers present plainly showed they felt ‘. Othello's occupation's
gone."— Yours, S. S.
This morning some military were marched into Tunstall, to
be present lest anything might occur to interfere with the men
who were to resume work at Golden Hill and Kidsgrove. On
Wednesday a general meeting will take place at Tunstall, rela-
to the Piramx, and Botany Bay, and Greenfield., and Clanway
eulliers resuming work, on the terms of Messrs. Copeland,
Broade, Baker, and Company. I understand this minute that
Messrs. John and William Ridgway have agreed on these terms
with their Übberley colliers.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.
BIRMINGHAM,
TUESDAY EVENlNG.—Accounts have
been brought to Birmingham by the various conveyances
from the mining districts, that the colliers in the neigh-
bourhood of Bilston, West . Bromwich, and Walsall,
have turned out, and are parading the country in dif-
ferent directions, demanding food and levying con-
tributions on the inhabitants. Large bodies were
met on the road leading to Walsall, where it ap•
pears the same plan which was put into successful
Operation in the Potteries had been adopted. The
men having turned out at one or two of the pits, pro-
ceeded to visit the extensive works of the Earl of
Bradford, the coal • and stone works of Dudley
Brothers, and the lime-works of Mr. Adams, at the
Butts, Mr. Brewer's. Mr. Strongthearm, at Doe End,
and other masters, Where the men were compelled to
leave work and join the turn-out, those Mk, refused to do
so being ducked in the canal. At the time accounts left
the colliers were proceeding in bodies towards Mr.
Fryer's works, at Blo:,:wich, and the Brownhill and Pel-
Oall works, in the direction of Lichfield.
On obtaining information of the turn-out and the vio-
lent proceedings of the •colliers, Lord Dartmouth and
the Magistrates of the neighbourhood were promptly on
the spot, and IOSt no time in calling out the Staffordshire
troop of Yeomanry, and taking measures for quelling
any disttirbance which might take place. The assist-
ance of a troop of the third Dragoons, was also obtained m
from our barracks, and. at the time y informant left
were stationed at the George Hotel, the Dragon, the
New Inn, and other parts of the town.
