IN COMPLETE
BREAKFAST AND DINNER SERVICES.
PROMOLI and HAUSBURG most respectfully an-
nounce, that they have entered into arrangements with
the Patentees for the supply of ELE9TRO-SILVER
PLATED ARTICLES, and, in enumeratifig the advantages
peculiar to them, solicit the favour of art Inspection of the
Stock. They would particularly direr attention to the fol-
lowing points
The

Material cannot be distinguished from Silver, and
will resist all chemical action from vegetable or other sub-

stances

The brilliant appearance will be preserved many years,
merely requiring to be Cleaned by the same method as Sil-
ver, and the Articles may be Replated, at a very moderate
cost, as often as may be required, rendering them equal to
new, an operation hitherto found impracticable.
It is manufactured upon the same principle as Silver, and
the Ornamental and, consequently, inure prominent parts
not being filled with Lead, are not liable to be bruised, or to
injury from heat.
The distribution of the coating of Silver by the Electrical
Process, is perfectly equal in all parts : thus essentially dif-
fering from the ordinary Plated Goods, on which the Silver,
in the projecting and more exposed portions, is impover-
ished in the manufacture.
. . _

The Silver employed, being entirely free from alloy, will
not so soon tarnish, and is cleaned with much greater
facility.
Any Article, however varied in form and elaborate in de-
sign, previously unattainable except at a costly rate, may be
produced by this Process, with solid Crests, or other Orna-
ments that may be desired, exactly similar to the most ex-
pensive Silver Plate.

P. and H. would further observe, that the Prices are ex-
ceedingly moderate; and, confident that their statement will
be found to be borne out to the fullest extent, trust that
their new undertaking will be honoured by the distinguished
patronage conferred upon them in other Branches of their
Business.

STATE OF THE POTTERIES

BURSLEM, SATURDAY.-It appears that the disturbances
which occurred last week in the mining district of Shrop-
shire were produced by a party of about thirty colliers from
this neighbourhood, being the first attempt arising out of an
organised plan for putting a stop to work in all the pits in
the adjoining counties, and compelling the miners to co-
operate in a general strike. An equally unsuccessful and
ill-advised attempt was made in Cheshire, a large body of
the colliers having left this quarter on Thursday morning
with the avowed intention of putting a stop to the works
at Macclesfield, Congleton, and the mines in that part of
the country. Fortunately, however, the magistrates here
received notice of the plans of the misguided men, and sent
off an express to Manchester, by railway, apprising the
authorities of the intentions of the Staffordshire men, and
Colonel Wemyss instantly despatched a squadron of the Ist
Dragoons to meet them, and prevent their interference with
the colliers in that district. Whilst these judicious and
prompt proceedings were being taken in Manchester, the
colliers, to the number of about 500, were on their way to-
wards Congleton. Most of them were armed with sticks and
bludgeons, and on the road they demanded and obtained both
money and provisions from the inhabitants. On arriving
in Congleton they were met by Mr. Williamson, superin-
tendent of police, and a small party of his men, who, how-
ever, were totally inadequate to disperse so formidable a body,
and it is stated that the latter handled some of the police
officers rather roughly. They then continued their route to
Macclesfield, where they found the military awaiting their
arrival, and effectually cutting off their communication with
Poynton collieries, where they intended to stop the works,
and compel the men to join the turn-out. Thus frustrated
in their designs the mob broke into small parties, and com-
menced their retreat into Staffordshire, jaded and dispirited.
Had the Staffordshire colliers succeeded in closing the pits
at Poynton they would, no doubt, with the reinforcement
there obtained, have made an effort to stop the works in the
neighbourhood of Stockport, Ashton, &c.
Great praise is due to the authorities here for the prompt
and energetic measures which they adopted to counteract
the plans of the colliers, and which must go a great way
towards convincing these misguided men of the danger and
folly of attempting to accomplish their objects by such violent
and illegal proceedings.

The coalowners and magistrates are in constant communi-
cation, and the former are about to issue a statement setting
forth the cause of the present dispute, and making proposals
to the colliers for resuming work on as favourable terms as
the circumstances of the trade will permit them to offer.
The military stationed in Newcastle were reinforced yester-
day by a company of the 60th rifles from Manchester. The
orce now comprises a detachment of the 12th foot, one troop
of the 3d dragoon guards, and three companies:of the 60th
rifles, all under the command of Major Wilford.

It appears to be now arranged by the leading political
parties in France, that the Duke of Nemours shall be elected
to the Regency.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT—TWO LADIES DROWN E n
On Thursday last, two young ladies named Mary and Jane
Gething, only daughters of George Gething, Esq., merchant.
of Newport, who, with their parents, were staying by the
sea-side for the benefit of their health, went to bathe on the
beach near Dunraven Castle. They were accompanied by
Mrs. Getbing. At the time they went into the water
the
tide was low, and Mrs. Gething several times cautioned her
sdaughters not to venture out too far. Suddenly,
w'
sup-
posed, they were drawn into a current, for they_
away in sight of their agonized parent, andthe
upsoon after.
re
livese of both

swept
were sacrificed. The bodies were washed
The unfortunate young ladies possessed
ac-
tions, both of mind and person. Their ages were sixteen and
co considerable. attrfourteen. We deeply regret to have to state the continuance
of Mrs. Gething's illness, consequent on the dreadful shock.
Immediately after the catastrophe she became almost bereft
of reason, and still remains in a very precarious state.—
