the hope Of avoiding him; but when ultimately ap.
pretended, he offered 10 resistance whatever.
The prosecution will be proceeded with as soon "a

cured.

from its suddenness, was being rapidly met.
At all the railway statous, vigorous and sue.

difficulty that had arisen. The class Of people who
hire cabs were not very likely to succumb to the
sort OF pressure put upon them, and the supply of
hired vehicles OF ell kinds abundant that for
the objects Of the strike, it was plainly perceived
that, If continued, the omnibus proprietors must
have joined In II. This of course, was desperate
step to take, and when fairly driven to contemplate
it, the resolution Of the committee failed them. Now
ihat the combination is at end, the proceedings Of
the meetings OF the trade yesterday lose much Of
their importance but they still possess good deal OF
interest and the report which Ia subjoined while t
tLows some fresh light upon the character Of these

Letters received from Alsace mention that pro-
