FACTORY WORKERS' STRIDE . - ilfiETKG OS DELEGAlJifc . . . ^ , Oa Thursday erening , 19 th insfc ., a public meefcino- of delegates from trades , shops , and factories in < j | as » ow and the West of Scotland , was held m the Democratic IlalL . Selson-street , here , for the purpose of taking further steps for protecting the Workers of Messrs . Simpson , Bridgeton , from the invasion of their privileges under the Ton Hours Bill . There were upwards of 150 delegates present , and the proceedings were conducted with the utmost unanimity . - , Mr . Jons Fletcher having been called to the cliair , brieaT explained tho object 01 the meeting , after which ' MrDcvcax LmXCSTONB IOSO , and
, reported that a deputation from thefactoiy woii . r 3 of the West of Scotland had ««« %% ?^ Sj waited upon Mr . Simpson , with the . ™«^ »«• H ~ hrs £ ^ £ ? r ed th s J f ^^^^^ fiSSSta-tetter- «« a ° 'J ° i thc raen » Uo « tnu * , MdittU ^ stad that it contained a statement ot the leadine facts of the case : — leauwj , « TOTHBEDnonprTira 3 iAtt .
« gjj . _ We noticed in your paper of Tuesday , the lOrh inst ., an article in vindication of the Messrs . Simpson ^ of Dridgeton , in relation to the strike of the self-acting male workers , concerning their houi'S of work . You state that the " circumstances of the case were not correctly stated at the meeting of the trades . We beg to say that the version you have f iven of the affair was laid before us ; but the meetin «» seemed to take a different view of it than that you have taken . It was never stated that they intended to violate the presentact . bufcitis certainly an evasion of the very worst kind , to say the least of it , to discharge from thuir employment all the females-and young persons now engaged at _ the
works , for the purpose of enabling them to continue those males above tho age of eighteen , whatever hours they may think proper . But , Sir , there is not a word in your article of discharging the females aad voung persons now employed . It is insinuated , ana' would be considered by those ignorant of the facts t hafc those females axid young persons were noSto be discharged , bat only to be displaced at six in the evening , to make way for those ¦ whom th » law allows to work longer than ten hours and a half per day ; but the fact is , the whole of the females and young persons were to bo turned off , in order that they might be above the law , cow observed by all thc respectable niiliowners m the
" Also you state that the hours of adult labour in this country have always been left f « v personal arrangement . Kow , Sir , this is the thing contended for by the male aduks in their employment . Then . wish was to work the same hours as are now wrought in . ill other factories in Scotland , and no more ; and ther wished to be parties in making the bargain , ¦ which was to determine the hours they were to work ; but they were distinctly told that if they refused to comply with their arrangement , that there was no more employment for them ; so that you will see that the workers were just contending for the very principles for which you contend , namely , that of having a voice in the making of a fcargafn which was so materially to affect their comfort . You would have us believe that it would only be in consequence of a pressure of orders , that
would induce them to work this system . . Unt , Sir , are the Messrs . Simpsons not in the same position with other honourable and fair-trading merchants ? And as yet \ te heir of no preparation being made to meet this anticipated pressure of orders ; and it is not nueossary , neither is it for the benefit of the employer or the employed , that long hours be resorted to for the purpose of meeting a pressure of orders . But tbe Messrs . Simpsons' workers having had some knowledge of their former system of working , and of thelittle care they had for the comfort of " those employed under them , they were afraid to trust themselves under such a system , now when thev had a chanee of being freed from it . " Sow , Sir , ' if you wish to be fully informed on ibis matter , the committee will be happy to give you all the information in their power . —We are , sir , your obedient servants , " The Men- who Struck . "
Such , said Mr . Sherrington , was the men ' s reply , and it clearly showeJ that while the Messrs . Simpson professed to comply with Iho terms ; of the Factory Act , ihey , in reality , took the niosteffcctnal . msans for evading its provisions . ? Fir-whs perfectly clear to him that the Messrs . Simpson were determined to be bound to no stated hours , and that they weroja ; t taking such steps , by which , if nos checked ia ' time , the other mill-owners of Glasgow miiiht sot the law of the land at defiance .
Under thes ? circumstances , he urged upon the delegates present the necessity and importance of r « sing their utmost efforts to support those who had been thrown , out of employment by tho Messrs . Simpson , as it was only by doing so they could prevent the Factory Act fronj being completely destroyed , and all their past labours for its achievement rendered worthless and in vain . Mr . Duncan Sherrington concluded by moving the adoption of the following resolutions , which were seconded and carried by acclamation : —
"That in the opinion of this meeting the system adopted by Messrs . Simpson , of Bridgeton , in endeavouring to evade the Act of Parliament for restricting tae hours of labour for females and young persons in the factories of Great Britain deserves the condemnation of every factory worker in Scotland , as well as the public generally . ' ; " That we , the factory workers of the West of Scotland , in delegate meeting assembled , agree to enter into a subscription to support those persons who hsre left their employment in consequence of being compelled to work twelve hours per day , ¦ while every . otheCi 3 Bale-a < lulfe 4 a-Seotland is receiving the full benefit of the Act intended for the protection ot females and young persons . "
It was next resolved that a sum of not less than one penny per fortnight be paid by every factory worker in tie city and neighbourhood , to support the hands of the Messrs . Simpson ; that the above resolutions be printed and circulated , and that the delegates meet once a week to report progress and support the strike . A deputation was then appointed to , meet with the operative cotton-spinners . of the West of Scotland in Paisley on Saturday last , and also the powerloom tenariis / with the view " of raising funds . A vote of thanks was tendered to the Chairman , which ter unrated the proceedings . Power-Loom Tenters . —A meeting of the powerloom tentera of Glasgow and neighbourhood was Lew on Friday week in . Charlotte-lane , Gallotvgatc . Mr . Robert I / uurmuh in the chair . After
transacting their ordinary business , the tenters received a deputation from the factory delegates of the West of Scot ' acd , in reference to the strike , now goinjr on in Bridseion , when it was moved , ' seconded , and unanimously resolved to raise the necessary funds to enable the workers of Messrs . Simpson to resist the inroad attempted to be made by their employers on the provisions of the Ten Hours Bill .

Jekkt Lixd is America . —A private letter from New York , speaking of the Jenny Lind furor , says , — " The L n 3 , you will ser , has arrived safely . Tickets for her opening concert sold very high ; the first for 225 dollars ( about £ 45 sterlingV but the second fetched twenty-five dollars only ( £ 5 sterling ) . It seexs to be considered th . it Barnnm got a personal friend to run up the price at the outset , to induce the public to follow , but at such prices few of the verdant school wee to be found . The folk here are decidedly mad after Jenny . A friend told me he saw a number of men and buys sitting on Stewart ' s new building , opposite the Irving-house , about six p . m ., watching for the . Nightingale . On returning about ten the mob still remained . Two or three ladies were on the
balcony , but it was too dark to distinguish whether Jeany was one cf the select party . The crowd ; however , Imagined she was there , and that was sufficient for them . One of th& ladies , after eating a peach , threw the stone over the balcony , when a tremendous rash took place to secure what was presumed to be a . pr < . clous momento of the fair songstress , and a regular street fight nearly ensued . This my friend tells me he saw , and . it is a fact . Another story freely circulated is , that a glove of Jenny ' s has been picked up , and the fortunate finder is charging ( so it is reported ] one shilling for an outside , and two shillings for an inside kiss of the article . The old aphorism ,, duke en , < fcc ,: will well apply under such circumstances . The Sew Friendly Societies Act . —Tha Act
recently passed to consolidate and amend the laws relating to friendly societies contains fifty-two sections . . besides several schedules . It is an important piece , of legislation , and was passed , according to the preamble , ! to make further provision for protection of the members against" fraud and the misapplication of their funds . " The laws are now consolidated into one statute , ' and the other Acts are . repealed , except so far as they are required for matters to be transacted or perfected . The objects for which friendly societies may be , formed under the Act are detailed , arising principally from death , infirmity , or sicknesB . There is a clause in this Aot to prevent a recurrence of the horrible scenes
arising from . ' . ' , Burial Clubs , from which money was Obtained on . the death of ehildren . Sow , for- a ehUd under ten years no money is to be paid , except for tbe actual funeral . expenses , and then not . exeeding £ 3 , cor is the money to be paid except to the undertaker or person by whomthe funeral is conducted . In cases of members dying , ifc is necessary to produce a certificate of a surgeon : or coroner , that there was no reason to attribute , deajfi to poison , violence ; or criminal neglect , " and that ? to the coroner it did not appear that the party had been deprived of life by means of any person beneficially interested in obtaining burial money from any society . The AeJ is cow in force .

i ^ iaa ^^ MMaaa—^^ wM ^^ n- - - - AThefollowing ; appeared in cur seGCM : and third editions of last week : — TUOWTtfG-Ur-THE OLIFF AT SEAFOItD .-E ^ LOSION OF 13 TONS OF GUNPOWDER . ,. m —
la consequence of . tb& inroads of the sea , Mr Catt who owns a large tide . mill between Seaford andifewhaven , made . a representation to . government who , in order to preserve the coast deiences , took the matter , in 'lupd , and directed Captain Fro . ne , R . E . t to prepare a plan of operations , which was approved of and ordered to be carried into execution . The plan wa 3 to throw down by the operation of blasting a large portion of the cliff , to the
jri . eastward of Seaford , which being too great a mass for the sea to wash away would form a groin ; arrest the movement of shingles continually going on from west to east , and thus form a high bank , and drive back the waSer . The quantity of powder exploded was 25 , 8001 bs . ; and it was calculated the explosion would throw down about 250 , 000 tons of chalk rock . Thursday was the day fixed for the explosion , and the anticipation of a rush to Seaford to witness so novel a sight , was fully realised . The place was visited by thousands . Tne bay itself also presented ¦
a moot lively scene . . : . ...,. A ' posting bill had been published in the town , statinn- that the explosion would take place at three o'clock , ond persons were requested not to pass the line of sentinels marked out by the Bandarols , with a small red flag , as within that line there was danger : that at two o'clock- a union jack wonld be hoisted on the tower and the shed ; that at half-past two it would be removed to warn of danger ; and that at three it would be rehoisted , and the explosion would ' take . p lace immediately afterwards . A sapper was seen to go twice to the edge of the cliff and inspect the rods over which the wires were conveyed to the powder belo ^ y , and then at twenty minutes to three , a low and rumbling , but deep boom , was heard , and . simultaneously with the noise the cliff fell like an avalanche .
The explosion had taken place , and it had produced the effect expected . The chalk , in falling , had formed a mound about 100 feet high , and measuring 200 feet at the base , as near as we could guess ; it filled up the space between the base of the cliff and the sea ( it was low water ) , and , from the discolouration of the water , it appeared ag if it had extended into the sea , about a hundred yards . No reverberation was feit on the beach , but on the cliff an uprising of the ground was perceived . The explosion was now over , and it had been attended with the wished for results .

¦ . : » ¦ GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY .
On Thursday a most serious conflagration , which was not arrested until it had laid in ruins property covering at least an aere of ground , and worth many thousands . of pounds , broke out in Mark-lane , near the Corn Exchange . The fire commenced on the ' premises belonging to Messrs . Allnut and Arbouin , wine merchants , Xo . 50 , in 'Mark-Jane . The building was of vast extent , having been formerly used as the town residence of one of the foreign ambassadors . ; It was five or six stories high , each floor being let out as offices to cornfactors , who carried on business also in the adjoining Exchange . At the time of the outbreak the only , persons sleeping in Messrs . Allnut ' s premises were the porter , bis wife and
children . The man , who slept in one of the top . rooms , was awoke by . bearinga strange noise , apparently proceeding from the adjoining apartment . ' He immediately got up , when on opening his door he found fire rushing completely across the staircase . Having returned , he managed to save his family , who made a hasty retreat down stairs ; but in stopping to save some clothes ho nearly . perished , for the flames spread so swiftly , that he was obliged to rush through them to reach the dooi \ Fortunately he received no personal injury of importance . The engines were soon ontbe spot , and placed in ai commanding position , but the flames shot through to the premises of Messrs . Hayter and Co ., army packers , 2 « o . 52 , in Mark-lane , and having ignited thereof of the Corn Exchange , they burst through
the back of the houses there , and fired several houses in Seetbing-lane . The scene at this period was awful , nothing being seen but huge sheets of flame curling upwards , and then spreading in sundry directions . Fortunately tho : firemen . were enabled to cut off the further spread of the fire in the roof of the Corn Exchange . Some idea of the extent of the conflagration may bo formed when it is stated that Hay tors and llovveH ' s premises were ISO feet long , and eighty wide , and nearly , ninety feet high ; the premises in which the disaster commenced were not much smaller ; whilst those of Mr . Barber were considerably larger . The ; whole of . these immense buildin os were on five at the same time , to say nothing of the ' smaller- ones which were also in flames . The * property destroyed is very considerable , but at present it would , be impossible to form . in opinion of the exact loss , as a
¦ great many other persons had goods in the warehouses . The origin of the fire is not known . Notwithstanding the efforts of the firemen a body of fire , still remained in the ruins on Friday night . On the . night of Thursday another fire had very nearly occurred in the immediate neighbourhood of the present disastrous one . The premises threatened were those of Messrs . Capel , the extensive coopers , adjoining the warehouses of Mr . Barber , but , happily , a timely discovery of the danger was made , and the flames were extinguished before any serious damage was done . During Friday evening the . wall at the back of Mr . Barber ' s warehouse fell , but owing to the caution given to the crowd , and to the firemen , no one sustained any injury . : From the examination made during the day , it is believed that there will be a . valuable salvage found in the ruins , but it is the , opinion of the firemen that it will take three months at least before tho immense
mass of brickwork can'be removed to get to the basements . Although the most searching inquiries have been made , nothing likely to throw the least light as to the origin of the fire has been obtained .

The prisoner : Eliza Sobtt . —J . W . Tanner , 52 : In consequenco of
information which I received from a gentleman in the MinorieSj-. I apprehended the prisoner on Saturday , at a quarter to twelve o ' clock , in Fenchurchstreet , dressed in woman's clothes ; and as I was taking him to' the station-house he resisted iii a most violent manner , and endeavoured to escape ; I charged him at the station with having annoyed gentlemen in Fenchurch-street , 'having seen him frequently following and addressing respectable persons in that locality . I made a distinct charge of the most serious kind against him . I then asked him whether he was not a man ? He denied most positively that ho was a man , and called God to witness that he was telling truth in ddnying the imputation . I then handed him over to the searcher ,
who intimated the fact of his sex . ' During the last week I have seen him about nine in the evening till about one or two in the morning , walking Fenchurch-street and tho Minories in the same dress , and I always considered that he was a woman , and that he belonged to the wretched class who , live by prostitution , — -W . C . Potter ( K 212 , metropolitan force ); I have known the prisoner as living at No . 5 , Angel-gardens , for nearly six months , ! always dressed as a woman . Within the last fortnight I have . seen a man in his company . The prisoner walked the neighbourhood of the Thames Tunnel and Ratcliffe-highway , and I have frequently , seen him with sailors , and always considered him to be a woman . —B . J . Martin , merchant ' s cleric , said :,- On
Friday morning last , about three o'clock , as . L was returning from a party towards my house in the Minories , the prisoner came up , in ; his present dress ofa female , and asked me if I was ' good natiired . \ I , of course , thought he was a woman , and we walked together . As we went into a more retired place , the prisoner lifted up her toil which was fastened to the bonnet , and then I for the first timo observed that the face was that of a person of colour ^ I soon suspected , from the growth of the beard , that 1 , was . speaking to a man , and as soon as I saw a metropolitan policeman I gave him in charge ; but the con- ; stable refused to take the . charge ' , and the prisoner then , began to load me with abuse , and to ; declare loudly that he was a woman , and would prove that
fact upon tho spot . -When the metropolitan policeman refused to take the charge , the prisoner walked down the Minories , and I told a sergeant of the City police , but tho prisoner had disappeared . While he was abusing me , the prisoner said he was a married woman , and had two children . —Alderman Gibbs Prisoner , do you wish to say anything in answer to this very serious charge ?—The prisoner , whoso voice is effeminate , said : I have hot much to say . I am almost a stranger in London , and have been here only about six months , and I brought a letter here ( the Mansion-house ) , ' to see if I / could get back to America . The captain who brought me over was to have seen me back again , but he is gone away without me , and I never could get any plape . He promised positively to take me back to America , but he never did so . I was a slave' in America , and ranawaytb tho West Indies . The captain was sick on the passage to England , and I used to attend
upon him .

him several severe blows on the head , inflicting two very extensive wounds ; one was a deep incision over the right ' temple , ' and the other a most frightful gash over the left eyo . In a very short space of time he was completely covered wish blood which flowed rapidly from the wouuds . He was taken to the hospital ; where he' was immediately attended to .

have been recently inflicted . Ho , made inquiries for the prisoner , and some of hor friends said she had gone into the street , but the landlord said he was sure she must be on the premises , for she had not left tho house . He then searched the house , and , after ' some trouble , he found her secreting herself behind the door of tho kitchen .. He then took her into custody , and , on being identified by the complainant , she was locked up at the station . Tho prisoner said that' complainant had thr ' own a glass of liquor in her face , and thafc was " the reason she assaulted ' him , but . ' it was not with a : quart pot that the wounds on his head were inflicted , but with . a tumbler , ' which ; she broke over his
head . —Alderman Finiiis then directed the inspector to see that a summons was taken out against the landlord of the _ Noah ' s Ark for keeping a disorderly , house . He said theaaaault committed by the prisoner , whether the instrument used was a quart pot ; or a glass , was excessively , brutal and uu ' i > rovbkeu . He . would therefore fine her 40 s ., or , in . " default of payment , " order her to be imprisoned , for two , ninths .
