GREAT STRIKE IN ENGLAND.

A dispute, which has been for some time
existing between the operative engineers
and their employers, in England has come
to crisis. On the 18th of January u
great proportion of the principal engineer
ing manufactures in London, Manchester,
Oldham, &C., closed their works. and ten
thousand operatives at least were thrown
out Of employment Thus hsapprehsnd-
ed strike of the men has resulted in an
absolute strike OF the masters--lhe latter
having refused to accede to the demands
Of the former, thai systematic piece work
and overtime should be abolished, The
Liverpool Mercury. thus goomily depicts
its consequences: eg .sea.ie, .sg,ro
Several thousands of men. whose. con.
tinued labor is absolutely necessary to
keep scores Of thousands of other, working
men in employment have been plunged
into involuntary idlensss; tho productive
ness Of the country has received check;
our power Of creating wealth has been
materially circumscribed, and ii is feared
that we shall give an impetus 10 the engi-
nesring trade of our rivals on the CONT
nsnt which may bs permanently di.ad-
vantagsous to England. Perhaps we
should not bs going too tar if we asserted
that this unfortunate dispute involves, not
only the present prosperity and social hap
pinsss Of every class of the community,
but the continued prs-eminencs of Eng
land in those branches OIL, native industry
which have contributed so largely TO her
elevated position in the industrial, world"
Neither party, at present, seams inclin,
cd to submit to the other. The masters
maintain their conditions, and the work.
men refuse to withdraw their demands.
OF the latter the creator part will seek
work in other towns. A number went off,
and numbers more will follow them, s4.l
a Thamen in London have, many of them,
organized themselves into comp and
rsntsd premises, offering to execute orders
for machinery upon fair and reasonable
terms; and. if they can raise sufficient
capital, no doubt they can do so. The
Manchester firms, which have closed their
doors in that place, have taken offices in
London, in order that they be in close
correspondence with the London masters,
and every thing At present indicates most
determined resistance. ce.--Baltimore Sun.

PUBLIC PRINTING.

The following article from tho Adams

opinion ON the subject of ths public print!

place in our paper: ,vs .ts. silva So
"PUBLIc PRINrING. The matter Of Pub.
lie Printing which has been u prolific source
of contention and disgraceiul wrsDgling,
in lhe legislative halls Of this Slate. for
many years past, appears 10 be again
causing a vast deal OF trouble and waste
of time. The trainers OF ,he New Con.
sttution, in order to Gu, up by the roots
this tree of discord, provided in that in
strument, that the Legislature should enact
a law by which this work should be let out
by contract to the lowest bidder. There
are doubts whether this plan Of doing the
Public Printing is the bsst that might be
devised. Experience has not yet demon.
strated that work done under the contract
system has been as aoell, nor that. it has
been any more economically done ,,than
under the former modes. The Congress
Of the United States and. wo bslieve. tho
Legislatures of several OF the States have
tried it, and the result no instance, so
far as we have heard, has been such as to
commend the system. 1t is thought, too,
by many, that nasmuch as this is merely
matter Of erpediency, and no great prin.
cipie is involved in the matter, it was raih.

vision on the subject, in the organic law!

will proceed IN good faith, as soon as pos.

THE HOURS.

AEfh noOhSs
BY WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
The hours are viewless angels.
And still go gliding by,
And bear each moments record up
To him who sits on high.
The poison or the nectar
/, Our hearts deep flower cups yield.
A sample still they gather swift,
And leave US in the field
And some fly by on pinions
0fgorgeous gold and blue,
And some fly on with dropping wing
OF sorrows darker hue.
And Us we speed each minute
That God to us hath given,
The deeds are known before His throne
The tale il told in heaven.
And we who talk among them,
As one by one departs,
Think not that they are lowering
Forever round our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gather every act and thought,
These viowless angel hours.
And still they steal the record
'a' And bear it far away;
This mission fight. by day or night,
No magic power can stay.
So teach mo, Heavenly Father,
To spend each flying hour,
That, rs they 60, they may not show
Ny heart poison flower.
