an inquiry whether any Coppcrhcod cadets

the instance of A. Il. STEWART, and whether
there was any reason for such appointments
except tho fact that STEWART had given

when the frst intelligence Of the strike ct
Creuzot arrived in this country there was consid-
cradle excitement among the trades unions, and
Gen. CLusEgBr made strenuous efforts TO estab-
lish relations between the workngmen's associa-

cerned in every subsequent strike either in
| France or abroad. The French Committee are
| hand in hand with the English in foncnting a
| desire among the workmcn to undertake strikes
which, from their extent, shall be inyiDcible. 1t
