WRECK OF THE TAYLEUR.

THE FUND being raised for the SUFFERERS
by the WRECK of the TAYLEUR, is to be applied by
a Committee, composed of the Gentlemen whose Names are
at the foot, in the following manner, namely,—
Firstly,—ln paying the Survivors wh.o wish to proceed to
Australia a small sum, for their support until the 28th
February, when they will be provided with a passage at the
expense of the Owners of the Tayleur; and should they be
detained after that day, they will be supported at the Owners'
expense until they sail.
Secondly,—ln supplying those who go forward with an
Outfit, just sufficient to supply their wants until they reach
Australia.
Lastly,—The balance of the Fund will be divided among
the Widows and Orphans of those Husbands and Fathers
who were lost in the Tayleur while preceding their Families
to Australia, intending to send for them as soon as they had
earned money enough to pay their passages out.
The number of Passengers saved is about 240, most of
whom are entirely destitute, and the Funds subscribed to the
present time will not suffice to give them the barest supply of
clothes. The Committee give these explanations in the hope
that they may induce many to subscribe who have heretofore
not done so.

THE DUKE or HAMILTON, says the Caledonian
Mercury, with the assistance of the law, has compelled
the Romanists priest at Hamilton to restore to him certain
precious pieces of plate (family heir-looms), presented to
his place of worship by the duchess.
FALL 01 A MONUMENT.—On Wednesday afternoon,
between five and six o'clock, the inhabitants of Langfield
were startled by a loud rumbling noise. Its cause was
found to be the fall of the monument, erected on the
height of Stoodley Pike, in commemoration of peace.
This monument was nearly forty yards high. Subscrip-
tions were entered into for its erection immediately on the
abdication of the imperial throne of France by Napoleon.
It was commenced in 1814, and finished the following
year. A few years since it was struck by lightning, which
cracked the walls in several places, and to that its fall is
mainly to be attributed.
ESCAPE OP CONVICTS.—On Sunday week two convicts
made their escape from Dartmoor prisons. They proceeded
across the river Dart, and were making their way towards
Ashburton, when they were seen by a farmer, who sus-
pected that they were convicts from their dress. Having
procured assistance, he went in search of the fugitives,
and succeeded in apprehending them at a place called
Newbridge. They were conveyed back to prison, and
have since been committed for trial at the Devon March
assizes.
TMB COINAGE or 1853.—There were coined at the Mint
in 1853, 10,697,993 sovereigns, 2,708,796 half-sovereigns,
no crowns or half-crowns, 3,919,950 florins, 4,256,188 shil-
lings, 3,837,930 sixpences, 16,038 fourpences, 37,168 three-
pences, 4,752 silver twopences, and 7,920 silver pence (of
these last two coins the same number is printed every
year, for Maunday money, we believe), 1,021,440 pennies,
1,559,030 halfpence, 1,028,628 farthings, and 995,224 half-
farthings. The total value of the coinage of the year was
£12,663,000 ; the average of the previous five years was
only £4,000,000.
How A STRIKE IS GOT UP BY WORIEMEN.—Their
method of reducing the abstract philosophy to practice is
extremely simple and expeditious. There is a large par-
lour in a well-known public-house—the Bricklayers' Arms
in Westminster, the Hole-in-the-Wall in Fleet-street, the
Swan-with-the-Three-Necks in Bishopsgate-street With-
out. There are five-and-twenty, perhaps, of the universal
brotherhood. There are likewise five-and-twenty pots of
porter, and five-and-twenty pipes. There is a president,
a vice-president, and a secretary. Jack Harris keeps an
eye to the door. The proceedings commence with a pre-
liminary statement of grievances from the chairman.
There are speeches made pro. and con.; and motions and
amendments ; and a putting of the. previous question.
There Gee s of order, order ; hear, hear ; chair, chair ;
loud cheers ; hurrah ! There are certain periphrases in
use, particularly with respect to the word strike, which is
seldom made use of. A mysterious-looking individual
usually makes the speech of the evening. He begins with
some vague general proposition, and then flies into the
regions of the gods. He, for one, believes in the doctrine
of universal brotherhood—that he and his comrades
therein assembled are members of a mighty republic—
that kings and priests are human inventions—that nature
made no man superior to another, asked no man to serve
another, gave no man a right to enslave another—that
the working classes of this empire have been too lax in
asserting their rights—and that the present insidious
attempt of their employers to cause them to work over-
time is just an attempt to forge another link in the great
chain of human slavery ! But shall he basely stoop to
sell his freedom ? Shall he sacrifice the principles of civil
and religious liberty ? No. He would rather be a dog,
and bay the moon, than such a Roman ! The speaker
resumes his seat amid long-continued cheering. His con-
clusions may rest on false premises. His reasoning may
be somewhat obscure—his arguments appear somewhat
unphilosophical. But that is no matter. He is seen to
be in earnest; Isis declamation passes for eloquence; and
he has no difficulty in carrying the meeting. Next week
it is announced in the papers that a general strike has oc-
curred araong the members of a particular trade, in Colla
sequence of a shameful attempt by their employers to foro
• them to work oyertime,—The Builder,
