HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY

TURN-OUT OF COAL AND IRON MINERS

(From the Glasgow Papers.)
Considerable alarm has been experienced in the neighbourhood of
Glasgoii this week, in consequence of a strike having taken place
among the colliers and iron-miners in the Airdrie and Coatbridge dis.
trict, and the likelihood that a similar turn-out would occur in the
more immediate vicinity of the city. It appears that in the first-named
district the wages of the colliers and iron-miners have for some time
past been somewhere about 2s. 6d. to 3s. a-day, working four days in
the week, and that a demand was recently made fur 4s. a-day ; while
the labourers employed at the works, who were in the receipt of Bs.
a-week, made a demand for 10s. The proposed advances were refused,
and on Monday and Tuesday a general strike took place, several
thousands of the miners, &c., retiring from their work. The circum-
stance, as may easily be imagined, excited a good deal of consternation
throughout the district, especially as the idle men clubbed together in
bands of from fifty to sixty, armed with sticks, and paraded the roads
and villages, and on various occasions declared their determination to
take food wherever they could find it, rather than return to work on
the terms of their employers. On Wednesday there was not, it is said,
a colliery around Airdrie or Coatbridge in employment, and it is
anticipated the iron works wanting coal will be unable to continue
operations a week longer. At Dundyvan, one-half of the fUrnaces are
out, and at Gartsherrie there is also a large number extinguished.
On Tuesday night, four sheep were carried off from one of the fields
in this quarter ; and a field of potatoes, on the estate of Drumpeller,
was entirely cleared, without the aid of the accustomed digging ope-
ration. It is said that one of the overseers, on going down to the field
in question, found upwards of two hundred of the workmen busily
engaged filling bags with the crop. being asked what they were about,
some of them jocularly remarked, that they had begun their harvest.
The garden of the Rev. Mr. Stirling, Relief minister at Coatbridge,
was also entered, and a quantity of potatoes, and other vegetables,
made away with. On Tuesday a large meeting of the miners was held
on the banks of the Monkland Canal; they came from all quarters—
Airdrie, Holytown, Bellshill, Chapelhall, &c. Their proceedings at the
meeting were very orderly, but as they passed through Coatbridge, to
the number of about 4000, almost all of them carrying sticks, they
cheered vehemently, to the great terror of the shopkeepers and other
inhabitants. Several other meetings have been held, and a deputation
has waited upon the masters, but no satisfactory conclusion has been
come to. _ - _

We may state that the colliers as a body have no funds to carry out
a strike, their means having been completely dried up in the struggle
of 1827, since which time they have never been able to organise
themselves with effect. Under these circumstances, some danger is to
be (apprehended from so large a body of men being let loose without
the means of feeding themselves and their families. Troops have been
ordered from Edinburgh and Stirling by express.

FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.
(From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine
of Fashion.)

Foulards, bar?ges, balzarines, diaphane, nzoosselines de laine,
pekins, watered silks, and organdys, are all now in demand ; and
redingotes of various kinds of batiste are worn, batiste Valenciennes,
batiste d'Ecoese of Java and Japan. Pretty dresses of the latter
materiel are made with short but full hanging sleeves raised to the
shoulder by buttons; this style is termad a la Corinne, the corsages
of muslin dresses are round, a la Vierge, with half tight sleeves, or-
namented with Crispins of lace; dresses of organdy are with cein-
tures and buckles, with long ends and very deep flounces on the
skirts. Some have four or five deep tucks, forming almost a skirt
of tucks. Many have short sleeves, with revers forming mantille on
the body or the corsage a caultsses ; watered silks have been made
open at the sides with revers of a watered silk of another colour, one
that harmonises well with it, the sides connected by an echille of
ribbon, the under skirt of watered silk the same as the revers, and
made the width of the hem longer in the skirt. Pretty dresses of
striped prult de soie, are trimmed with a deep biais vandyked, and
the skirt quite plain at the waist, the gathers being all carried to
the back. Flowers are very prettily introduced on summer toilettes
of organdy, in the form of cordons of heath to edge the double and
triple skirts and the bottom of the sleeves; the same style is also
made in mignonette, geranium, myosotis ; the coiffure similarly or-
namented to correspond, Embroidery en soutache (braid) is much
in favour in Paris for foulards, silks, mousselines de laine, and even
organdys, and Grecian patterns are being introduced. The cardinal
pelerines the some as the dress ar^ not made very deep, the newest
among the large camails are of silk filet, in diagonal stripes of white
and shaded greens, with second pelerine reaching to the waist,
small collar armholes, the whole of which are trimmed with a fringe
matching in colours. Crape bonnets are very fashionable this
month ; nothing is prettier than pink crape divided by several rows
of open straw, and ornamented at the side by a bouquet of moss-
roses ; white crape is mixed with inlets of Valenciennes, divided by
pink gros de Naples. Wreaths of small wild roses are very pretty
for capotes of tulle bouillonnees ; a new bouquet has been made com-
posed of small leaves of vrlvet, shaded green and brown, from
which fall red berries ; they are intended for straw bonnets trimmed
with velvet shaded with green.

IMPORTATION OF CATTLE.—There were landed on Mon-
day from the mail-steamer from Rotterdam, at Mr. Barber's
quays, Lower Thames-street, 10 very fine grass-fed bullocks,
weighing about 110 stone, dead weight, the first imported
under the new tariff. They much resemble our short-horned
Yorkshire breed, and are a size capable of being fed to almost
any weight. Our informant considers it impossible that any
large quantities of such weight can be immediately imported. Holland seems the most likely place to give us a supply ; there
the rich pastures may be appropriated to grazing lean stocks,
which are now almost entirely used for dairy purposes.—
London Times.
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Saturday morning last, at a
very early hour, Mr. Haile, of Threapthwaite, near White-
haven, hearing a noise in the hen-roost, got out of bed and
went there, when be saw a tall fellow make his escape, and
Mr. Haile was about to follow him, when he suddenly en-
countered another of less stature, who was just escaping
from the hen-roost. A desperate conflict now ensued be-
tween Mr. Haile and the lesser villain, in which the former
had the advantage. The thief was knocked down, and his
conqueror was about to drag him to the house, when, by a
violent effort, the fellow got hold of Mr. Haile's collar, and
succeeded in pulling him down also. The contest was now
renewed upon the ground, each party grappling with the
other, and a most fearful struggle ensued, in the midst of
which the tall fellow returned to his companion's assistance,
and by a series of furious kicks on the head and breast, soon
rendered Mr. Haile nearly insensible. Even in that state,
however, he still held the lesser fellow with a tenacity of
grasp which defied the efforts of both villains to extricate
him. At length the taller of the thieves drew out a knife,
with which he cut Mr. Haile across the forehead, and in-
flicted a deep and dangerous wound in his neck, about a
quarter of an inch from the jugular vein, swearing, at the
same time, that "he would finish him." The unfortunate
gentleman, whose intrepid courage througheut the fearful
contest we cannot but admire, then relaxed his hold, and
called out " murder?" On this the thieves fled, leaving
their victim bleeding profusely, and altogether insensible.

AN USEFUL HINT.--BRIGHTON, August I.—A curious
announcement was yesterday made from one of our pulpits,
and has been attended with some unpleasant consequences.
At the close of his sermon at the Chapel Royal in the morn-
ing, the Rev. S. R. Drummond, the officiating minister,
addressing his congregation, remarked, that although it
might be considered a novelty for a clergyman to speak from
the pulpit at the close of the service, he wished to tell them
that there were now among the congregation two notorious
pickpockets, and that it would, therefore, be well for them to
be careful. Such an announcement coming from the pulpit,
and just at a time when the town is full of that description of
marauders waiting to pick up the unwary at the coming
races, created a sensation ; and, as if by common consent.
the eyes of the congregation were turned in the direction of
a pew, where sat two gentlemanly-dressed strangers who
had entered the church during the reading of the Litany.
The two strangers on leaving the chapel were followed as far
as Castle-square by a large portion of the congregation,
gotlaidnytorethsiedflenyt,
when they asked the meaning of such an attendance, and
were informed by one of the headborougbs that they were
suspected to be pickpockets. The gentlemen protested their
respectability, which they offered to prove to any gentleman

ALEXANDER M'LEOD AGAIN !—The notorious Alexander M`Leod
was in our city yesterday. He came over on account of some busine,e,
and was quietly attending to it, when an onslaught was made upon him
by some loafers, led on, we believe, by John O'Brien, who, by some
means, had learned the fact of WLeod's presence among us. No
violence w
for some distance, loading him with abusive epithets and making
threateningegseacs:etaluresl,ytiolffl,ertnede,
sbcuatptehetio.mloafe,rs followed M`Leod
he took refuge in a storuP street,
whence he quietly departed for the cars. Occurrences like this are
disgraceful. M'Leod, well aware as he must be of the feelings with
which many on this side regard him, is a fool for coming here, unless
compelled by business; but, if so compelled, there ought to be Power
somewhere that should be exerted to prevent such a patriotic display
on the part of John O'Brien and his cronies. Unhappily there are
too many such characters on each side of the lines—Buffalo Ad-
vertiser.

Lord Cottenhatn now moved the judgment of the case in
conformity with those opinions, expressing his own to be
that the intention of Lady Hewley, collected from the words
of the deed, would be best carried into effect by this decision.
I Lord Brougham concurred, and said that the decision of
the court below must be affirmed, and as usual, unle'ss under
special circumstances, none of which appeared in this case,
it must be affirmed with costs.
Lord Campbell said that, having argued the case as coun-
sel at the bar, he should abstain from expressing any opinion.
Judgment of the court below affirmed with costs.

THE LONDON AVERAGES.-A curious circumstance has
taken place with regard to the London averages ; the return
published on Friday having been issued in the first instance
with a blank against the word Wheat, afterwards 6,906 qrs.
at 675. 10d. per qr. were returned, subject to an investigation
by the board of trade; many rumours are afloat respecting
this occurrence, but we shall refrain from noticing any of the
reports in circulation, unless something definite comes to
our knowledge.—Mark Lane E.zpress.
THE OLD LADY AND THE COBBLER OVER THE WAY.—
Some years ago the husband of an old lady, residing in a
country village, happened to die rather suddenly without
making a will, for want of which very necessary precaution
his estate would have passed away from his widow, had she
not resorted to the following remarkable expedient to avert
the loss of his property :—She concealed the death of her
husband, and prevailed upon an old cobbler, her neighbour,
who was a person somewhat like the deceased, to go to bed
at her house, and personate him, in which character it was
agreed that he should dictate a will leaving the widow the
estate in question. An attorney was accordingly sent for
to prepare the required document, and the widow, on his
arrival, appeared to be realising the greatest affliction at her
good man's danger, but forthwith proceeded to ask questions
of her pretended husband, calculated to elicit the answers she
expected and desired, The old cobbler, groaning aloud, and
looking as much like a person going to give up the ghost as
possible, feebly answered, " I intend to leave you half my
estate ; and I do think the poor old shoemaker who lives
over the way' is deserving of the other half, for he has always
been a good neighbour." The widow was thunderstruck at
receiving a reply so different to that which she expected, but
dared not negative the cobbler's will, for fear of losing the
whole of the property, while the cunning old rogue in bed,
who was himself the poor old shoemaker living over the way,
laughed in his sleeve, and divided with her the fruits of a
project which the widow had intended for her own sole be-
nefit.—Scotch Gazette.

BOMBAY HARBOUR, 14TH Jinek, 1842.—A dreadful fire broke
out on board of the ship Cornwallis, (being the next ship to ours,)
on the 10th instant, and in twelve hours she was consumed, with
a valuable cargo of cotton, opium, &c. for China. There was
another ship, of 1400 tons, burnt here a fortnight ago. Not the
smallest attempt was made to save either, but they were left drift-
ing about the Harbour in flames fore and aft, to the great danger
of the other shipping in the port. Such earelessnztss, I believe,
was never witnessed. There are no other ships on the eve of sail-
ing for Liverpool. Freights are tremendously low. Ships are
laying here doing nothing, and likely to remain so, as there are
more coming in every day.

COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 8

-
It affords us much pleasure to be able to continue our favourable
report of the Cotton market ; the demand seems to gather strength.
On Saturday 8000 bales were sold, and to-day fully 7000, chiefly to
the trade. Prices are gradually tightening, and though they do not
ramble as in other days, yet there is a feeling of health and con-
fidence that gives an assurance that at the bottom the foundation
is good. There was some rumour on Change, that in some of the
manufacturing districts, the operativei had availed themselves of
this early opportunity to turn out for an advance of wages. This
is rather too bad, for the improvement has not gone beyond the
Manchester market, and has yet has not found its way into the
pockets of the producers, if this turnout be general, it may cause
a temporary cheque to our advanced market.
