The South-west districts of Staffordshire are still in an unsa-
tisfactory state, the miners generally refusing to work for the
reduced wages, and the masters persisting in their determination
not to employ them at the old ones. Indeed the *few masters
who have hitherto continued to pay the old rate of wages have
lately taken the determination of reducing them, a very numer-
ous meeting of the trade having been held at Walsall on Tuesday
last, when it was unanimously resolved not to give any other
wages than those for which the men refuse to work. In conse-
quence of the disposition which had been manifested to offer
violence to persons and property, it was deemed advisable to
make more extensive arrangements for preserving the peace of
stie district, and four troops of the Yeomanry Cavalry were
ordered ou duty in the neighbourhood till their places could be
supplied by regulars. They have since been replaced by a de-
tachment of the 73d Regiment of Infantry, another of the Yd,
and another of the Scotch Greys. Doting ihe .week the Magis-
trates, assisted by parties of the Militia Staff and Yeomanry
Cavalry, apprehended many of the ringleaders in the late dis-
turbances; and lodged them in the county gaol.
