A NEW DEAL IN THE EMMA MINE.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.
LONDON, Jan. Is, 1876.
The opening of the coming session of Par
lament is looked forward to with consider
able interest, and also with anxiety. There
is much curiosity in reference to the rumor
that the Queen will open Parliament in
person, and that Her Majesty will be accom-
panied by the Princess of Wales. The
statement has not yet received any official
corroboration.
THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY.
The Eastern question will be the promi-
oent topic in Parliamentary discussion, to-
gether with the purchase of the Suez Canal
shares, and it is scarcely possible to foresee
the probable upshot of these debates mas
much as this Eastern question is beset with
70 many complications. Andrassy's note
will be discussed at the Cabinet council on
the 18TH Although Lord Derby expresses
dissatisfaction that England was not con-
suited before the note was drawn up, yet
the sentiment of the country appears to be
- that Andrassy's proposal was well meant
and deserving of support. although it is
considered Intellectual to staye off the de-
uouement of the drama that is so confidently
expected in the spring. The Daily Neaos has
several Vienna kilograms concerning con-
siderable military movements in Southern
there which could be used in descent on
Turkey.
The Times says that no Ministerial decis-
ion can avert the inevitable fate consequent
on Ottoman misrule. Tho longer the time
for the settlement Of the Herzegovina diff
Guilty is postponed the heavier will be the
final settlement. Should the attempt at a
peaceful settlement fail Montenegro and
Servia can scarcely be kept from participa-
ton in the struggle
HOME QUESTIONS.
English politics are uninteresting. The
slave circular and Plimsoll's Shipping bill
are subjects of discussion. The Grattan
statue is also discussed with reference to the
Irish home rule members of Parliament,
who are leaguing themselves to obstruct
Parliamentary business with interminable
speeches. Their intention is to show that
the English Parliament cannot attend to the
usiness of both realms.
LABOR DIFFICULTIES.
The dispute between the Amalgamated
Engineers and their employers threatens
to assume the proportions of war II
has resulted SO far in a strike of ITO
engineers, employed by Easton & Ander-
son. at Firth. This was caused by the
endeayor of the manufacturers to re-
introduce piecework. which she Amalga-
mated Engineers consider unjust be-
cause of its attackilg overtime and
IT'S injustice to Tie weaker work
men. The Amalgamated Engineers rule
10000 skilled hands. on whom 100000 de-
pend directly for work.
At the meeting of the iron trade employ
ers, assembled at Derby, it was resolved to
resist these demands, because the contracts
we're ruled by piece prices, hxed beforehand.
The>question is assuming important proper
