      A public meeting of the Earl of Bslcarren ' g men was held at Aipul-Moor , near Wigan , on Monday Burning last , on account of Mr Foaree , his lordship ' s agent , reducing the colliers' wages ten per cent . This reduction in the workmen ' sa wages is very different treatment from what mifht have been expeoted after the great premises made in . ttie speeches delivered a few weeks ago at-the festivities and rejoicirjgat Haigh Hall , so maoh paraded in the local pipers in the neighbourhood . The men are beginning to think they are to pay dear for the dinner his lordship gave them on Monday , July 31 st , as well as the smiles so graoioasly bestowed by the Earl , Lord

      Lindsay , and the ladieB . ' We were , itartisularly struck with the kind and affable manner in which his lordship , and his family , treated the servants ; his lordship walked among tbe crowd , ever and anon recognising some old and faithful servant , who bad entered en the employment of his noble master in his ohildhood , and had grown grey in that service . Never did we see an employer who appeared to reign ro completely in the hearts of his men , and well does he merit all the devotion they can show . Would that all our nobles were , like ; the Earl of Baloarres England would then be a happy land , and all her sons would be blest . The benevolence of this noble family ia far beyond any of our humble attempts at praise . It may be truly said , that it ia theit

      wish' That not a tear or aching heart Should In the land be found . ' . Thus Bays the lickspittle who does the reporting for the PreBton papers ? Previous to the present rednotion there were colliers working for Is . 6 j . or 2 i . por day . If the press of Lancashire was honest would not this act of tjranny and spoliation have been held up to public exeoration , as it richly deserves ? It is not many months since ( he men were graciously treated to a reduction of fourteen percent . would be if

      CertHinly En ^ land a happy country evr ry employer had done as this benevolent family has done , taken twenty-four percent , off the poor ball starved colliers in tbelr employ , but , however , the colliers are determined not to receive any more of this noble family ' s banevolence . It has had the ef feet of driving the men to their union again : on Saturday lest three lodges were established , and a great number of members enrolled . The Miner * ' Association is spreading fast in all the principal districts in Lancashire .

      A speoial delegate meeting of miners waBheld at the Farmers' ArmB , Damside , Darcey Lever , near Bolton , on Thursday last . Mr James Jenkinson in the chair . Delegates were present from most of the surrounding collieries . John Lyon , James Jenkinson , and George Lomax were app ointed to wait upon all the masters in the surrounding districts , to ascertain from them what planB they wish to be adopted with the view of bentfitting both masters and men . Each delegate was requested to bring one peony per member to the next meeting , to be held on Thursday ,.

      On the same day , at six o ' oloek ia the evening , a public open air meeting was held on the space ol ground fronting the above Inn . Mr George Lomax , fro « n Radcliffe bridge , presided . Mr D . Swallow spoke at great length on various subjects c ' onnebted with the Minere' Association . The meeting was well attended , and much good has resulted from holding the meeting . Every one of Mr Thomas Fliteher'amen thirty-eieht of the Lsdyfihora colliers , and some ot Mr KnowleB * men have joined , in Little-lever ; also tbe Csmpanj ' s men ; besides numbers in Darcey-lerer , Bolton , < fca ., &o .

      SHOAl ( F WH 4 LKS IS THE CrOMaBTY FlBTH . —On the afternoon of Monday , the 28 : h ult , the peaceful village of Saltburn , near Invergordoa , was thrown into considerable excitement by the sudden appearance of a large shoal of butlenosed whales performing their Rambola at a short distance from the shore . One of the villagers , who was fortunate enough to have all his wits about him in this unlooked-for visitation , having hurriedly mustered a strong force well armed with muskets , hatchets , and pitchforks , boldly rowed into the very heart of the assemblage , and in a few hours succeeded in bringing nine-and-twenty of them to land . A few of the multitude of spectators , stimulated by Joe ' s example , and encouraged by his success , wisely judging the occasion no time for idly

      looking on , eagerly jained in the sport , and after many 1 hair-breadth ' scapes' and a world of trouble , contrived to secure aa much of the spoil as made the entire number captured fertv-five . Some of them measured eighteen feet in length . On Tuesday morning , what with the tossing and heaving ofthe dying monBters , the bustlibg activity of the blubbercutters , and the er > wds of visitors from the Bur / oundiog country , the shore presented an unusual scene oi animation . Being divested of all their fat , the car . caseB were carted off by the farmers in the neighbourhood for manure . About sixty large casks con * tainingthe blubber , are to be shipped for the south , and it is hoped the proceeds will be such as to remunerate the owners for their labour and rhk . These whales do not contain much oil , but still tbe capture on this occasion is of considerable value . We understand that seven of them were lefc ashore on tbe

      sands of Niyg , but none on the Gromarty side of the firth . On the succesdine evening , several of these monsters passed up the firth , and were stranded oh the bank of the south channel at Fowlis Point , when a number of persons ret to work , and seven were brought to land . On Wednesday evening , aaother lotcameuptoArdollie Poiat , and twelve were secured in the small haven to the westward , measuring from eleven to sixteen feet in length . This , the last of the Bhoal , occasioned a regular turnout ofthe people of Dingwell and neighbourhoid , who hied in all modes of conveyance to see these wonders of the deep—a similar sight never having been witnessed in this quarter . The bottle-noae whale is frequently seen at Cromarty , but never farther uo-or ia such numbers as on tbe preeent occasion . The shoal must have consisted of hundreds , for while about sevfentv were taken in all , large numbers escaped to their na . ' - " ~ -

      EMIGR . VTION . 30 S . W 1 L 0 OTT , EfQ , London , July 31 st , 1818 , Sib , — The object of the present letter is to rt quest of your kindness an answer in writing to the following questions . I have beta asked by a respeotable gentle , man , tbe real oauae why I have been refused a pass to Australia ; I naver could ascertain the real oautemjaelf , therafore I was unable to answer jMm , and he requested me to make one sore application , personal , or by letter . It It became I am an Irishman , or is it beoauie I am forty-eig ht years of age , or is it beoausc my wife is Freaoh , and thirty-six jears of age , or is it became I have five children , tha oldest seven and a half years of

      age , the youngest fifteen months , or Is it beoauie mj case la a spiclal one , and a refugee of France ! When I came to London on the- 21 th of May last , with the fall confidence of accomplishing this great objeot , I was told by one gentlemen that my ease , tolng a special one , required special protection ; b ; another , that I was too old ; by another , bt cause I was an Irishman ; by another my wife being French , and my children under ag « ; by another to go to Ireland at belog Irish myiel ' , I would be more likely to tuoceed there . Now , Sir , I went all the way t » Dublin with my family , for no other purpose or motive but the above objeot , and reouived tbe same amwer , to I got a memorial signed by the guardians of the Union Poarhouse , the mayor and corporation , mem . bers of Drogbeds , and thirty signatures of the most re .

      speotable geDtlomen in the cauatiea , of Loath and Moatb , and I was recommended by the Lord Lteuteaant ' t under secretary , to forward it to your respectable offloe , and that it would inffioa . I did to , and waited fire dsjt for an answer , but none cume , and my humble and limited MOinB would not permit me to stop aoy longer , se made an application to the British and Irish Steam Boat Company , for a free pass back to London ; it was granted and rations into the bargain . I lost bo time in calling at tbe Emigration office , and had an interview with ths secretary . He acknowledged the reedptof the document in queition , but I am sorry to say be gave me no flattering hopes nor a complete refusal . I called next day at No . 15 , Patk-street , and was told that I was toe old , and my family under age , and by another gentle * man , that all the Irlihare tent from Bablln . . Now , Sir , I beg leave to state that at the tnd of May , and the

      beginning of June , I have seen and known hundreds of ths refugees from France sent to Australia , whose ages and families were far more foreign from the rules of emigra . tion , than me or my family , and no later than last week thero wot a family of sixteen in depot from Liile , not one ot whom came within the bound of the emigration rules , nor was their two out of the sixteen that bad aDy practical knowledge of any kiud of industry whatever , that could be useful in the coleay . Had I not teen and experienced all this , I sbosld be very lorry to ptnovere or trespa « V to long at I have done , I was told at the beginning of June , that the £ 10 , 000 granted by the government , to send the Frenou refugees te Australia , were expended , and if so , may I take the liberty of aahlag under what conditions did the above sixteen get a free passage t Could not the same be granted to me , even on the following condition !

      ? THE LAND COMPANY . TO TBI EDITOR OF TBE N 0 BIBEKN 6 TAE . Sib , —If the Directors of the National Land Company would permit mo to suggest my ideas upon buying and Belling lights of location or poisession , without considering It an undue interference , it would give me great pleasure ia suggesting them ; though I am conBdeat interferences would be very unweloomo to me were I placed in the official department of the directory , and more particularly if tbe intimations were of a UBsless description , . . ..

      Tbe enmity now in existence through the various oa-Inranlce that have been hitherto levelled against tbe plan , with hints that it Is unlawful , together with tha bad con * duct of a party ot nonsnUtieB , denominating theaiselvt b Chartists , Is more than sufficient to give power to its en'tntcs , and to create an inBurmountablo obstacle , and , unless wise , persevering , and Immediate c&utlon be taken to meet it , it will , undoubtedly , be construed into a faction detrimental to tbe Siate , the monopoly of the manu facturer , and the narrow-mindtdneesof the statesman ar landowner .

      Tbere might be a case of security against unlawful Impediment , should objectionable counts be brought before Parliament , Haw , a banking company is legal : therefore , oould not the L » cd Company be obapged into a banking company by the wisdom of F . O'Connor and bU friends ? Each member of the Laud Company ceuld become a shareholder In the bank , by depositing bis share in the Ian j for a chare In tbe bank , and to receive no interest more than an advantage of purchasing land . In my opinion , it would increasa the Company both in wealth , coBfldeaos , and independency . There is no doubt but the Lind Company could be changed into a banking company , and , by means of trustees , F O ' Connor weold clear himself from a host of calumniators in every town and from tbe ( rath asd scunility of edlters . In purchasing rights of possession , I am confident a very great and useful improvement could be iffecUd by altering that prominent feature of the Land scheme In buying an ? . soiling possession .

      There are very few ofthe members of the Land Company but wished to live on the portion of land tbat they took in the Oompasy , that they subscribed to obtain , If It waxtwo , three , or four acres . Therefore , it is a great pity that deprivations should te < ff ; cttd by the fortunate memberB selling out of the Company for a large sum of , perhapB , £ 100 , £ 90 , £ 60 , and that even to the enemies of tbe Company . Because , if the parch&sers bad paid a bonus , it nould have proved them friends to tbe scheme ; therefore , they are no mere than selfish Individuals , enemies ofthe plan , and eportorswith thoIndustry , activity , and ability of F . O'Conner and the Company .

      to dispose of rlgfrts of location is to llralt the price , quality , and quantity of land , nhioh Is not to cxceid a oartaJn sum . of money—for example , £ 12 for a four acre ; £ 10 for a three acre ; and £ 6 for a two , with tbe . pur * ohaser ' a transfer to the atller of the same number of acres ready and free for the ballot . If a member ahould find himself in tech prosperous circumstances tbat be would rather defer location for a time , is It not better to let a member , wishing to go on the land with the necessary means , do up , and more profitable to the strength of tbe Company 1 No aid money Is t&ken out of the fundB to a purchaser . It is more than £ 503 of loss to the Company for every purchaser out of it , for the real craion tnd welfare cf its member * . of

      InfMt , it is most unjust upoa the prlvil ^ es the whole , and for s paltry £ 100 « r bo . £ 12 from a mem . bar is worth £ 500 . CiROintUTos .

      CHOLERA , ITS PREVENTION AND TREATMENT . TO THE EDITOa OV TBE KOBHIMG HEBALD . Sn , —The sanitary commissioners in their ticond re . port , as preiented to both Houses of Parliament , having been pleased to speak highly oi my evidence relative to the BuoocsBful treatment of cholera , I am induced , through tba medium of your columns , to offer to the public , In the spirit of that evidence , a f » w remarks aa instructions for the prevention and treatment of that dlse » B 9 ; and for sake of brevity I will u > ake the following classification : —

      Fint . —Prtvtntion . —l recommend oonfortaUb and nutritious animal food of ( he solid bind , warm clothing , an attention to regular hours , free ventilation and cleanlintss , also UmtuaMvg the dwellings of tha poor . I advise abstinence from spirituous and ferment * dllquora , from all fruit and raw vegetables , from all salt fish and oysters , tbe latter especially , from ell excesits which debilitate the constitution , and above all things , I depre . cute the use of strong purgative medicines . 8 eetnd — The Early or Premonitory Stags , and Us Treatment . — -Bo far as my observation ixtecded in 1832 , I found tbat spasmodic cholera ( with few exceptions ) was preoeded by certain premonitory symptoms , of whioh diarrhoea or purging was the most prominent , but which symptom was too often overloeked by the person ?

      labouring under the attack , It therefore becomes of vital importance , now that we , apprehend that cholera ia taking the same route towards this country that it did in 1892 , that every cute of porglng which may occur should without loss of time be arrested in its progress ; for io fully oonviuced am I ofthe benefits resulting from a prompt attention to bowel oomplaints , that I believe that the actual choleric symptoms may in the majority of cases be thereby prevented , Tba purging is for the most part accompanied by nausea and a disposition to vomit , followed by a sense of weight and beat in the stomach , slight cramps in tbe bowels and legs , great weakness , diminished aoiion of the heart , and coldness of tho surfaoe cf the body . It ii most necossary to point out to the piblio , and especially to the poor , such remedies

      for this , the early stage , ai are at their command , and at what period of the dlteaie they should ba employed . When sickness with dersngemsnt of the bowtla is folt , the patient , if s n adult , should mix a tablespoonful of nu 8 tard , or double that quantl'y of o&mmon talt , in half a plat of warm water , a third part of either to bo taken every ten minutes until free vomiting be produced . After the stomach has boen well cleared out with more warm water , thirty drop ' s of tincture of opium should be given In a glass of brandy and water , to be followed up with a pill composed of five grains of calomel and two grains of opium for an adult—small doseB of these to be taken at intervals of every two hours until bile Is ob . tervtd to pasa in tbe evacuations . But In tbe event of children being suddenly attacked with bowel complaints

      of this kind , I recommend one drop of tlnoture of opium for each year of their age , to be given in sugar and water . Tbey are not to take the pills alluded te , but if under twelve years of age , then one grain of oslomel is to be given every two < hours , until tbe same effect , the passing of bile , be visible 1 b tbe evacuations . Families should also have in readiness a mixture of the following form : —Prepared chalk , half ounce ; white sugar , two lumps ; cinnamon powder or aromatic confection , two drachma ; opiate confection , one draohm ; sal volatile , two draoiiuu ; tincture of oateohu , one ounce ; cinnamon or peppermint water , half a pint—of which mixture an adult may take three table-spoonfuls after eacWdiaerdered motion , and children under twtlve years of age one tablcspoonful I also strongly advise the use of an em . brooaiion of heated turpentine to be rubbed over the bowels anl extremities , to which the addition of

      onethird part of laudanum would be a most important Improvement , Should tho ingredients of this embrocation not be at band , then mustard poalticet ought to be plaoedover the stomach and bowols ; common winebottles , or stone-jars , filled win hot water and rolled in flannel , are also to ba applied to the stomach and feet . If the apartment be at all eligible the patient should not b ) removed , but be kept In a perfectly horizontal position , as any attempt to ( it upright might prove fatal . Tho patient will experience a great relief from the cramps by havivg a bandage tightly tied around the Beat of pain . Cramp being one of the mOBt distressing symptoms in the disease , if not removed by tho preceding means , I can , from recent experience , ipsak highly of the Internal administration of from two to fl » e drpa ot chloroform ia a little ginger-tea , or aoy worm fluid , as one of the most ifficleat agents in removing choleric

      Fpaim . Third , —The Collapis , or Blue Stage , and its Treatment . —In this stage all the powers of life are apparently bubpended , in consequence of the Intensity of the liquid evacuations , the cramps increase ia severity , and all tho symptoms becomi aggravated . The treatment in this Is as nearly allied aspoBslble to that of tho early stage , as the remedies there prescribed ere now to be given more frequently and in larger dews . Here I must call apon the attendants to be unremitting in rubbing in ike turpentine embrocation over , the body end iX' . r . mitles , and to be prompt in giving the patient Btimulaata , as brandy or whisky mixed in hot water , to which may be added a tea-spoonful of tincture of Ringer or of tincture of cap . eicum ; and If these be not in readiness , they should give one tea-spoenful of sal volatile instead , until reaction ba proAucad .

      Fourth —The i ? e « ot )« rj / . —It frequently happens that this stage is ushered in by an attach of fever , when it will become m ceesary to avoid the uso of stimulants , and to have recourse to' tho common saline draught , cooling drinke , mild diet ofthe farinaoeous kind , such as arrowroot , sbgo , or tapioca mixed with milk . Should the head ba effected and the face flushed , cold lotions should be applied , and leeches to the temple ? . In these iasttu < tlone I have endeavoured to adopt tho ilmpleit mode of upresalonto suit the understandings of the poorer classes ; and , In conclusion , I ngaia wish to impress upon all persons tbe necessity of paying prompt attention to the slightest approach of diBrrtcei , aa it may be the means of Baving theliveB of thousands . I have the honour to be , sir , : Y . ur obedient servant , 60 , PatHanunt . Btreet . N . M-Cakn ,

      THE WAGES OF WAR , ( From the Pitttburgh Journal . ) It was a few days after the news of Baena Vista—tho very day that the mail brought the cffiutal list of the killed and wounded—we were seated In tho office reading over tbe names with a sad curiosity , seeking out those with which we were of old familiar , M'Gee wo remembered well—a dashing , daring , artillery efficer ; he waa in the third when we knew him . Bat he married , ltft tho service , and engaged in business , and at the opening of the war resumed the epaultita as Cjleuelof a Kentucky Volunteer Regiment . Bravo fellon ! none braver fell on tbat bloody field .

      We wcro sorrowfully enough engarsd by theee though ti when » jouEg woman entered tbe office . When we say joung , wamean under thirty . She had a small girl by the hand—a beautiful little creature , about three years old . Both mother and child ( tor such no one could doubt to be their relat ! eneMp wbo observed tbelr feature ? , ) were dressed with extreme neatnesB , though all the little elegancies of decoration were bestowed upon tbecMld . We jutt looked oytr the top ef the paper to note these padicularB , when , having b : on directed to ub by the nh-rk , she camo forward to our desk . We haodad her a chair , ana , while we endeavoured a « well aa w » coii'd to soothe her very apparent agitation , we were scmswhat at o loss to account for its existence .

      After a few m ' nuteb' conservation , we discovered the renson ia the fact that she was a relative of a soldier in Captain—' a company sf artillery . ' This corps fead beea enjfged , and , wo remembered , had Buffered very 86 V rely . Sbo bad beeu informed that the list of killed and wounded bed arrived , and she hid called to hear some intelligence of his fate . . Sbo wished ui to rend over the names . ' We again took up tbe paper , and proceeded to comply with her reqacBt , We shall never forget tho expreB&lon of that woman's features as we read . Her agony ' was terrible . She waa uot unhandsome : tui her face te . came ghastly pale , and her ey B looked unutterable despair as st e flxid them upon the child , wbo was playisg with a newspaper ,. and laughing ] youaly in Its heedleBe innocence Her lips wero colourless , iho perspiration started on her forehead , and , as she . lifted b « r hand to wips tho large drops away , we could tee it trembling as though paltltd . .

      Tbe presentiment of evil bad already aimoat broken her tearf , and we knew that the relative must be a vety neer one . She had avoided giving us her name , and , bo soon ae we found the list , appalling long , which comprised the CAtuultles of ths designated rorpt , we began to read . We did not know when we woull reach tho fatal name . If at all , find at each individual we looked inquiringly In the woman ' s face , ¦ She Bald nothUg , however for tomo time , and we began to hope that the name waanot down , when we read' John — -, sorgeont , kiued !' Such a eorfam ! It was the wall of a broken heart . Oaly on ?—aad then sb b . IU as death , That cry was ringing in our tart . tor a month . Wo immediately ran tonard her , but she arose from her chair , motioned us her thanks , and w'thout a word left the office . We had read to fier the announcement of her husband ' s death , W » did nat do much service in the ofBoa that day . ¦

      Tbe noxt morning , happenlcg down on the wharf , we « aw toe woman and her little girl going on board the Ckoinaati jacket . She recognised ub , and we spoko ta her .

      , RAILWAY ACCIDENT . An accident of a very serious nature occurred oa Saturday night , near tha Newton roa 4 station on tho northern division of the London and North-Wettem Railway . In eons ; qaence of the expreas traia from Liverpool being twenty minutes behind itu timo at Wolverhuropton , 1 : left that town at a more than UBually rapid speed . The train consisted of tho 'Colonel' engine whioh is one of graat power , a tendar , three carriages ! and a luf gago van . The Mte at which it proceeded created a tremor and oscillation in the carriages so great that the passengers with difficulty were able to keep their seata , and , ultimately , about threo hundred yards south of Newion bridge , the engine ran off the rails , and dashed against the embankment . Toe oaniagea , by tho oonou » BloB , wor « turned almoBtcompletely over , aome of them being prevented falling to the ground fcy » ho tele , graph and othtr posts . The lugarage van was thrown

      completely on to the down line of rails . Tbe englao emb 9 dded itielf three feet deep in the embankment It would be difficult to describe the aceno whioh immediately followed . It is stated that iu the centra compartment af one of the carriages there waa a party of five gentlemen who weie pitched against each other ia the greatest consternation . They tried In vain to lower the window ? , an 4 it was not until a Mr Smith , a whipmaker commenced demoHBhiog thero , tint he and hia com ! paniena extrioated themselves from the carriog-s Me Sauard , aD architect residing at Paddington , usd ' who , with two ladies , occupied one of the comportments of a Cirriai . e , narrowly escapsd death , and ia much injured . When the confusion had somewhat subsided , and assistance had arrivsd , Mr ShOard was fouui . lying uuder one of the carriage ? , 10 completely wedged in between the broken pieces that it waa f mud Impossible to extrl . oate him until the carriage was raised .

      Shortly afttr tbe express esgfne ran off the line , a pilot englnu , which had been sent from B . rmingbam to ascertain the causo of delay of the express , mado its appearance on the down lino , tnd the driver , notbdngawarooi tbe cccidcnt , absolutely cut through the luggage van which lay on the line , and having run aloBg the earth upwatdBof one hundrod yar ^ s , fell into a ditch . Had the carriages in tha express train , like the luggage van , beeu thrown on the down line , the loaa of life must have been frightful . J jyco , tbe driver of the pilot , an-1 John-Bon , tho Bioker , were injured , and removed to theJr bomea . The driver and stoker of the Colonel were also thrown from their engine , but were notBerlomly hurt . So soon as the accident became known in the neighbourhood , prompt asitlntanoo was rendered by ths Inbo . bit » nta . Messrs Dickenson and Aoercrombie , surgeons of Westbromwicb , were indefatigable in their attentions , and the Earl of Dartmouth , who resides at Sandwell Hall , in the neighbourhood of Newton bridge , on being informed of the accident , despatched a team ot horses to

      assist in removiug the engine and carriages , a train , from Wa ' iall having arrived the patsengers w « re conveyed to Birmingham . Mr Shaard and Captain Beard , of Stirling , who it appeared had also been severely shaken , were conveyed to the Quaen ' s Hotol . Mr Rob ' . nson , the statien-ma » t » r , w ^ b unremitting in his attention to the sufferers . Upon examnatien , ic wbb found that Mr Shuard ' s lefc leg waa broken in two places , and that he was seffcrieg from internal injuries , None of tbe other passengi rs sustained any serious injuries , although as a matter of course considerably frightened .
