THE labor strikes of England, instead of
ceaSing, as was anticipated, are spreading in
all directions. The cotton, fax and jute
spinners of Boulton and Dundee have fol-
lowed the cutters of Sheffield, while the
Newcastle strike, now in its sixth month, is
still unadjusted. All efforts to import for
eign workmen have failed, SO that it has
come to naked question between capita
aud endurance. In the Yorkshire collieries
the cooperative plan has been successfully
introduced, so that the workmen, in ad-
dition TO wages, have share in the years
profits proportioned to their earnings, and
thus direct inducement to industry
and sobriety. 1t is thought that unless this
principle is recognized in other pursuits, or
something equivalent to it, and that speed
lily, these movements are likely to end in
revolution. The working classes appear to
be desperate, and some of their leaders as
sumo tone that certainly bodies no good to
feudalisu and its expressions. A single
spark may set this element into fame that
viii burn despotism to the bone.

fire broke out in frame building on Ferry

spread quickly to adjoining wooden build

blowing gale, spread it with frightful ra-

and the firemen could do little to arrest the
