STATUE TO THE LATE DUKE OF
Some time since, an ingenious yoUng‘man, of the name of
GREENSliirr.ns, resolved to cut a statue of the late Duke
of YORK. Application was made •to Captain LOCKHART
of Cambusnethan, fora stone for the purpose, who politely
granted the • request. • One weighing upwards of five tons
was cut out,. and on Thursday last, a number of people
assembled to` their assistance to have it conveyed to
Mr. GREENSIIIEteS house. A waggon drawn by eight
horses, was obtained, whieb had been constructed for the
pprpose of conveying such huge masses to the Duke of
HAAIII:TON'S Palace. The stone was poised from its bed
in the quarry, and being safely placed on the ponderous
Machine,- it moved off amid the repeated cheers of the
spectators. 'f he cavalcade passed slowly along, and after
overcoming' a number of difficulties, the stone was laid
down in the appointed place. It is Mr.. Cts:ExsittEr.n's
intention to represent his Rozn-AJ. HIGHNESS- in a Field
Marshal's uniform. He proposes to cut 'the statue six
ftiet six inches high, so that if ever it he placed on an elevated
p6destal, it may have the appearance of being as tall is the
illustrious personage was when' in life. Mr. GREEN-
sOnf.ns has been brought up under the eye of Mr. Fon-
ayst the celebrated sculptor, and having already made a
very handsome small statue of the late Mr. CANNING, and
several ot6rs, which are much admired, his friends are
confident that he will complete his present undertaking
in a •way highly creditable to his taste and talents,—

ST. S DOCKS.-STRIKE or
THE Wonam EN.—The.principal part of the workmen em-
ployed in dal undertaking, particularly bricklayers and la-
bourers, amounting to above 400 in number, struck
work yesterday morning: Matters appeared to go on in
their usual routine until seven o'clock, when the whole, as
if by a given signal, departed from within the enclosure,
and declined pursuing their usual employ. The reason as-
signed for this departure is not an anxiety on their parts to
raise the quantum of. remuneration, already moderate
enough, which they receive for their perilous and unhealthy
labours, but to remonstrate against its reduction. Through-
Out the year the In icklayers were paid at the rate of four
shillings per diem, and the excavators or labourers at that
of three shillings. During the last week it Was announced
that these sums were considered too extravagant, and that
they would he diminished .from the 19th (yesterday), to
Bs. 6d. fo.: the bricklayers, and 2s. 9d: for the labourers.
This they are determined to resist, saying, that at this sea-
son of the year, when the prices of fuel and provisions are
on the increase the proposed reduction was ill-timed, and
the reduced wages inadequate to their support. The fault
lies not at all with the. COmpany, the men chiefly blame the
contractors ; but, be this as it may, it is to he hoped for the
sake of all, that the schism will be soon closed, and the
works allowed to proceed,
