The Shoemakers' Strike

Boston, Feb. A-Ecening-Th executive
committee of the Lynn strikers have organized
a strong police of their own number, to pre-
serve the peace, who, together with the Lynn
Light Infantry, are held in readiness at their
armory, and a detachment of the Boston pc.
lice, specially sent, forms force sufficient to
overawe the few turbulent spirits, and no seri-
GUS outbreak has occurred, or is anticipated.
Attorney General Phillips and Major General
Sutton addressed the military, counseing
moderation and tirmness in any emergency.
The striker committee have agreed to allow
the free transportation of work between Lynn
and other towns, and have instructed their po.
lice to enforce the regulation. On the other
hand, they propose to organize strikes in each
of the towns where the goods are received and
made up, thereby inducing them to return the
work to the manufacturers without being COM
pleted. The strikers in other manufacturing
towns appear to attend to the subject without
violence or unnecessary fuss.

TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY
THE WRECKED STEAMER

1t is very surprising, and naturally exctes
some comment, that we get no more particu-
lars in regard to the wreck of the steamship
Hungarian. Cape Sable, near which she was
lost, is the most southern point of Nova Scotia
All that part Of Nova Scotia is settled and
there is a telegraph station within twelve
miles of the wreck at harrington. Ever since
Monday morning, the wreck has been watch
ed by the people who inhabit the shore
portions of the wreck, mails, &C., have
driited ashore and have been picked up;
and there is, evidently, a great deal
that might be told u.s. And yet, scarcely
anything is communicated. 1t is not credita.
BILE to those who are responsible for this neg
lect The scene of the wreck is many miles
this side of Halifax, and within the county of
Shelburne, which, though small in size, has
population of about twelve thousand. There
is no lack of men there to explore fine wreck,
and learn all that can be known. The follow
ing Is all that was sent us last night
HALIFAX, Feb PA despatch from rag
ed Island, sent to-day to the Postmaster Gen
eral, says, supplementary mail bags for Canada
and New York have been picked up in very
damaged state. They are awaiting orders.
Postmaster General Woodgate has ordered the
.nails to be brought to Halifax to be arranged,
as the bags are badly burst and the letters
torn. The following is the latest from the
wreck of the Hungarian:
"BARRINGToN, Feb. 24-EUeniag Thomas
Nickerson informs me, that on Monday morn
ing at 3 o'clock, he saw from the main land
steamers light, stationary for some time, and
he supposed ship had struck on horse race,
about tive miles off the Cape. 1t was then
seen no more. AT daylight, large steamer
was seen ashore, with one mast standing He
thinks he saw men on it, when it went over,
soon after daylight. The report has reached
me that the stewards pocket-book was picked
up, having in it some of the passengers
names, where he had made charges for extras.
l will inquire. On Wednesday, one small
child was found, and yesterday one man, sup
posed to be fireman The coroner is attend
ing to them. Portions of the mails and cargo
are yet being picked up"
TORONTO, c. w, Feb. 23.-It is thought
probable that not less than four members of
the Canadian Parliament were on board the
steamship observation-disclosures. w. II. Merritt,

MI. NETT rose and sad he understood GER
tain resolutions were offered, this morning. by
a member from New York, Mr.. Carter, and
they were objected to in consequence of his
absence. He now wished to ask Mr.. David
son to withdraw his objection and allow the
resolution to come in. He wished to make
explanations in relation to their propriety, and
submit some remarks applicable to the gentle
man who offered them.
Mr.. DAVIDSON withdrew his objection.
Mr.. SMITH OF Virginia asked whether the
withdrawal OF the objection would bring VI
the resolutions.
The SPEAKER replied-No.
Mr.. SMIrH-Then | object.
The SPEAKER said the only question before
the House was the election of Printer.
On motion of Mr.. VALLANDINGHAM, a reso-
luton was adopted, instructing the Committee
on Public Lands to inquire into causes of the
great delay in issuing land patents, and report
such measures as may be necessary, as a rem
edy.
Mr. SHERMAN suggested that the committees
be called for the reception of private bills and
there were no further proceedings relative to
the election of Printer.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union.
On motion of Mr.. SHERMAN, the West
Point and Pension Appropriation bills were
taken up, and after being read, laid aside to be
reported to the House.
The Presidents annual message was taken
up, and Mcpherson delivered his views on
political subjects, speaking of the democratic
party as a mere machine to be handled against
the people, In reviewing the proceedings
during the contest for Speaker, he said, mis-
chievous and incendiary speeches were made
by southern Democrats in order that miserable
party purposes might be promoted. 1t was
true that the north western Democrats, as
they had even declared, did not sign the pledge
of continued and stern resistance to the plu-
ralty rule, but they did not refuse to vote I'M
der the leadership of those who signed the
compact. The southern secessionists are OF
necessity unfit men to be entrusted with our
great national interests.
Mr.. SPAULDING spoke in opposition to the
Presidents veto of the st. Clair fiat bill, which
he regarded as a direct blow at commerce.
The committee rose. Adjourned till Monday.
