IRE.—Almost every week additional discoveries of the ironstone deposits of the North Yorkshire Moors are being made. In addition to the great Band in Rosedale, to which the North-Eastern Company have formed a railway, and the Gothland mines, also in work on the Whitby Railway, the mineral has been found present in Bilsdale (the place supposed to have been worked by the monks of Rivaulx Abbey, before the dissolution), and in the whole of the valleys opening to the Vale of Pickering; and various schemes are on foot for reaching the places by railway. In the Howardian Hills, in the Derwent Valley, some four miles west of illalton, the mineral has been slightly worked. On the stagnation in the iron trade the workings ceased; but they are now being reopened (by purchase) by a company of Scotch capitalists. These tomes adjoin the Scarbro' railway. At Oldstead, two miles from Coxwold, on the Mahon and Thirsk railway, the stone has also been discovered; and last week the large estates near Keldy Cast le were found to contain a very valuable and easily, worked seam, rich in ore, and just below the surface. Down Cold Kale Slack a railway of two miles would connect with the Whitby and Pickering line at Levisham. There is every inducement to form:railways to these deposits, especially as those now in work are fully engaged to supply the demand.  -- - • In the la.t five years 208 persons have been capitally convicted in England and Wales; 72 were executed, and one committed suicide.on.the morning of  Ins intended ex,cution. In Scotland 11 persons were capitally convicted in the five years, but only two were executed. lit Ireland 21 persons were capitally convicted, end II of them were executed. It has been stated that Dr. Grusgelback. of the University of Upsala, lately restored to activity a snake which had been fritz..o to torpidity for ten years. . .  It is also rep rted that he propo'sed Lo the Sviedish Government to experiment on criminals. He proposes to reduce the individual to complete torpor by the gradual application of cold, and to resuscitate him after a year or two.

THE BRICKLAYE,S STRIKE.—One of tlio,:e iv retch'! -s —7l strike—has come to pass in tockton, aml we puTeive that the master builders and their men have commenced a paper war, stating, to the puhlic what they call their grievanees and ri,lbts. The Ilaiders' Association inform us that the bricklayers have been paid 2-k per week, and that they now strike fur 27s the masters being willing to give 21;s during summer. This the men are not willite4 to comply with. They also state that labourers had been paid Is per week for ordinary work. and the men request 20s per week. The masters resolve mit to make any advance on the present rate of w tges. The men in their placard take a high tone, ill speak of " despotism," as practised by the m otters. and freely use religiMis phrases to influence the public mind in their favour. They compare the masters to the Autocrat of Russia, and use similar C bjectionable terms. which show an anitnus against th..ir masters not creditable to them, and which will rtu. cerminly, ettli:4 the sympathy of the public in their favour. If they had shown that they had been oppressed, and that the masters had taken advantage of them by compelliNg them to take lower wages than were customary in the trade, they would have just cause for complaint. This they have not done. The usual wages paid elsewhere are such as have been paid them. They therefore not only desire " compensation tur their lab mr," but have been paid the usual wages. They have therefore nothing to complain of; and to strike their work in order to compel the masters to pay them inure, is in fact an act of injustice which they charge upon their employers —is in fact despotism, and would be oppression. The present struggle is only a renewal of the ohl war between capital and labour, in which capital is sure to prevail. It is possible the strike may continue for some weeks, so that if the men should get what they want they will be no - better off, as what they may gain in wage they will loss in time, and it is not probable they will gain their point while there are so many idle hands in other parts who would be glad to accept the rate of wages which these men on strike refuse to take. In these strikes we have always found that experience has made the workmen wise when it has been too late. How did the London strike among the builders terminate? In ruin, suicide, prostitution, and misery, and the wages remained as they were..

SOM. of the rumours, which to be suppressed by such measures. The Narkiard's correspondent at —lt is difficult to arrive at the truth  the events which preceded the  bringing not likely  death. On nne point at least I can , with certainty. The Crown Pri&ce did not, as was at stated, spond Tuesday evening in the company of his brother-in-law, the Prince of Coburg. LOn the contrary, be was alone throughout the tatter portion of the day. The Prince of Coburg left Meyerling to be present at the handy dinner at the Hof burg—from which it will he remembered the Crown Prince had incased himself—and the other musts went nut shooting at the request of their host. From that hour nothing more was seen of the Crown -Prince. When the shooting party came back from their sport he had retired to his bed-room. Rumour is, of course, busy with the dead Prince's 1 after proceedings. According to one report he occupied himself before going to bed with reading and with writing letters. He is stated to have received a letter during the evening, and to have written two others, which were found under a paperweight upon his table. All this is, however, merely conjecture. The I'aris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says :—I hear that it is said in Vienna that the Crown Prince of Austria met a lady at his country chateau, and that he was shot by the husband. I repeat this simply for what it may be worth, for I have not been able to verify the on die.  rnents  A Central News telegram from Vienna this afternoon says—There is no longer any doubt but that the Crown Prince committed suicide. There was a wound in the heal evidently inflicted by a revolver shot, and the weapon itself v.as found with one chamber discharged lying close to the Prince's hand. This news has been officially allowed to appear in Vienna this morning.  particalic
