POOR-LAW RELIEF WHILE ON THE STRIHE.-With
reference to relief by local guardians of the men now
standing still in Lancashire, the Poor-law Board thus lays
down the law :—" Where the applicant has the pecuniary
means of subsistence for himself and his family, from
whatsoever funds those means may be derived, tr where
he may, if he pleases, immediately obtain work, and so
earn the means of subsistence, the Board are of opinion
that he ought not to be considered as actually destitute.
If, on the other hand, he has neither money nor work,
and is really without the present means of Obtaining either,
so that aid from the poor-rates is absolutely necessary for
the subsistence of himself and his family, the guardians

vouring to _obtain a uniforin-iate of wages throughout the
for it transpired that there were four masters pay-
Ss. per day, twenty-one paying 4s. Bd., and four
g only 4s. 4d. per 47 to their bricklayers. The

satiety did not contemplate 'haying a strike ; but proposed
sending a memorial to those masters paying the least sum,
asking them to accede to the rate generally naid Yn Art

Iwn. A resolution wes carried Co the effect that the,y
.ewed with utter contempt the conduct of those boys who,

after being with masters a few years, deserted them, set
up themselves as jorrneymen, and worked at a reduced
rate of wages. The men, believing that this conduct acts
prejudicially to the masters as well as to themselves, desire
that all boys shall 'be bound for a term of seven years.
ACCIDENT ON "THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL
RAILWAY.—On Friday last an accident occurred on the
above-named rartway between Patricroft and Barton Moss,
whereby two individuals were seriously, if nett dangerously
injured. It appears that the parties referred to, along
with others, being disappointed in obtainingli special train
from the Victoria Station for the Newton Races, took their
places in a guard's van attached to a ,toll 'train. On ar-
riving at the place referred to, one of the wagons belong-
ing to the train broke down, and threw the van off the
rails. By 'this occurrence Mr. BarthOlomew Olney, to-
bacconist, in Oldham-street, and Mr. George Shephard, of
Booth-street, both of Manchester, were thrown out ; the
former hiing severely cut upon the hted, the latter having
one of his thighs broken in two plates. The other parties
in the van received no injury. Soon after the accident
the two wounded gentlemen were tonveyed to Manchester,
and taken to their own homes.

TRt LATE Ma. JAMES MILMRS'S AFFAlRS.—oollSi-
deralge inconvenience has been felt during the past week
by some of the depositors in tliiitank, as many required
their money for immediate use, "bat were unable to pro-
cure. it, the bank having been qilosed since Mr. James
Holmes's death, and the trustees not having yet returned
from England. The notes continue in free circulation,
aid there is every confidencein them, there being suffici-
ent security deposited in the rots office. Various rumours
have been in circulation during the week, but from all we
can learn, from the best informed authorities in Liverpool
ns well as on the island, there is every reason to believe
there will be a surplus after Anying every liability. We
are informed that the executor is busily engaged in exa-
mining into the whole estate, and, therefore, we may exr
pect that, in the course of mother week at farthest, a state-
ment of the affairs will be laid before the depositors. We
learn further that, notwitbvtanding the objections offer&

iohnes, the .e

viving brother, to the est

blishment of the will, adniiristmtion will be applied for,
pendente lite, so far as the property in the island is TOB-
cerned.—/tiona'4 Herald.
STABBING IN LrvoreooL.—The use of the Icriifeiin
this town continues on the increase. From a return
moved for by the watch-committee it appears thetduiing
the last three years, there have been no fewer than.-'233
cases of stabbing and attempting to stab, the number
actual cases of stabbing being 174, and of attempting
to stab 59. During the last twelve mouths, up to.the
18th instant, the number of actual cases of stabbing.was
71, and of attempting; to stab 28 ; in all 99. Of the 71
