For txample, with steam coal at lOa per ton an Ocean oolhtr would, for a certain amount of work, receive 88 4d while, for the same amount of work, a collier working under the Sliding Scale Committee's nrrargeinent would oxly receive 7s S £ d. This is a difference in favour of the Ocean workmen of nearly per cent. But, in reality, the Ocean Sliding Scale ia much more favourable to the men than even the figures printed above would lead one to suppose. Every. budy in this distriot knows that the coal prtduced by Meesis. David Davies and Company fetches the very highest price in the market, whereas the associated oollieriefl, which include such concerns as the Tredegar, the Ebbw Valo, the Rhymney, and the Blaenavoa Companies, will certainly fail on the average to realiae witbin 6d per ton of the rates obtained by the Ocean Company. Thua there will be in practice a further difference in favour of the Ocean wage rate of not less than from 5 to 10 per cent. Is it too much then for us to dcaoribe this new eliding eoale by the term bogus? Can reasonable pericn suppose for one moment that the Associated Colliers will be bound by *t eo soon as they aball have had time to find °h^ working? No delegates in 1 e world, much less the gentlemen who furnished °n last Buoh evidences of their in- suadiii^k^1^ an^ ffood faith, will suocaed in par- f a of sensible working men to bind • rinnl68 >t &d °8tef>me»t so inequitable and 1E^U *■ ia 0t they fail to recogaiae tha r msT"1' ^hich their reprea-jacativea ° + Puhlication of the actuil agrceiuen after they should have had time toto the toto the nnfoitimate colliers whoKe interests they are sup- posed to protecu. A strooff P°]nt' D°doubfc' w01 be made of tho immediate advft»ce wagoa that ia to come into fcica on the M ° ^ry. Ca cay a 5 per cent. ^afcever tho prioe cf coal may b0< J ,?er *»* as fn fact all future rises flf be oal- culated upon the nWhloh » repruellted by the figure 85, and Ilt upon the Ocean standard, which, 5 to fixed at 100.

In other words, t 89 2, an immediate increase of wages from but after that they will get no further'^ nntil the prioe of coal shall have adv&noe per ton. Here, however, it must be stated that tbeee remarko apply only to the steam coal rate. But they are equally applicable to the house ooal rate, bearing in mind the fact that 8a instead or 8s 6d is taken ujB the standard price for that class of fnel. The allurement of an immediate 5 per cent. advance in the rate of wages will, no doubt, ba made the moat of by those who have an interest in advocating the new scale. But it is only fair to the Ocean Colliery Company to state that the one efltclive reason which prevented them from advancing their wage-rate a month ago was the fact that as their notice to withdraw from the 'Joalcwnero' Association would not expire until A arch i)txi;, tbt-y were in honour bound to make no advances which were not Banotioasd by tbe aBPcniation generally. Now, tc^erer, lint that obfcta le is rarBored ii will be 1 m n to horn in r«conf?i(H'r ih't niat^fir,-an'i- wvoie re& £ ens which prevented tilem from, j *<ivxric» ur.t:.l v i:{:;18r" r fHs-r ret fee, now pror.-cq'-yi.y ocga.it ill tuduciug Ul".t"1 <c fitvp*.

And even at wa 61 the rate would be eon&iderafcly in their favour. Put it is unnecessary to follow the sub- ject further. The figures are there and apeak for tbecjaelvcp, and no amount of special pleading will alter tht-ir effect. Thero is just one other point we must mention. It is urged in favour of this new Eoale that the wages advance with every rise of 4d in the price of coal, wharoaa under the Ooean Scale the advances proceed by ninepenoes in the price of coal. This, however, ia an argument that cuts both ways. If the advances are fre. quent, so aleo will tbe "dropa" be. And even tho aef-ceiated coalowners cannot ensure a constant increase in the prices of ooal, or prevent those recurring fluctuations which tend downwards as well as upwards. The fact also that tho prices are ascertained under the Ocean Scale every three months, instead of every fenr months as under the new scale, will be, if fciything, in favour of the men. But here, too, tie argument cuts both ways. We bave Tokcn thua plainly because we doeai it better thtit these interested in this mitter tfcctild ba put in possession of tha facts and be taught to understand their boariag before any ratification of Wednesday's proceedings at Cardiff shall take place. Wa do nob this scale will prove satisfactory or workable in the kng run. And, therefore, whilst there ia tinio go back on it, we urge its reconaideu. tion alike by masters ard nen. We cava alweys held that a general eliding: ecale is eseei ti;il j the weL'ara of the cotl tifcde. Bus any tcala, to obLain gasorAl acrepiauce, rr utt not only be essentially eq/aibable EG far &e< regards its own basis, bet it must be as L&veviiabla to the ti eu as tha moai favouraVl!) ndù of wsgfce ofiercd by any fir a 6 colliery company in the district.

The output at tbe Cymtrier Colliery averages upwards of 1 000 tons daily the output of coal at the Ynishir standard Coliiory also has greatly increased duiiug the past woex. AT Cyfartefa WonKs a day or two sines a notice was posted up requiring that a month's notice ehall be given and received by all workmen pitvious to their leaving Messrs. Crawohay'a employ. This is a rule that was in forco previous to the works being stopped, and the nocioa haa apparently been iseued in order to show the men th",t they are working u. der the same rules aa bitherio existed. Hands are still reported to be short at Cyfarthfa; but, oa tha other hand, we hear of two fresh fumacea being put into blast—* one at Ynysfach and another at the Cyfarthfa portion of the works, whilst it is alao s tat ad tint one cf the old furnaoee ia to ba rebuilt aad en- larged.

(Limited) closed eome few yeara ago owing to the depression in the iron trada. The mines are located near Coleford, and in the event of presout arr»Egementa being perfected a considerable staff of men will, in all probability, fiad employ- ment thereat. BIRMINGHAM IRON Trade.—The attendance on Thursday afternoon on 'Change was somewhat meagre, consequent on the abatement of the excitement caused by the quarterly meeting. There was a large demand for finished iron, not- withstanding the increase of prices. Galvanised sheets were again in great demand, and there waa some talk of again raising the prices. Pig iron remains very firm at laat week's quotations, and there was much anxiety on the part of buyers to place orders at current quotations, but mateera aa a rule declined to do so. An extraordinary buM- ness is being done in hoops, and some exceptionally large orders have been given. Coal is firm. NEWCASTLE TRADE Report.—Onr correspon- dent, wiiting on Thursday, saysThe improve. ment in every department of the staple trade of the district continues, and the productive power, which, of course, has been greatly restricted during the past few years of bad trade, is in almost every case being tested. But on every hand arrangements are being made to meet the glowing demands by bringing into operation wcrks that have been laid in for some time. Iron. works and chemical manufactories that have long been idle are being re-opened, or negotiations are pending for their pur. chase by others. During the week there has been some difficulty in keeping mills and shipbuilding yards going with the required iion and most of the works are fully employed at cresent.

In responding to the toast of "Her Majesty's Ministers," which was proposed by Mr. Reginald York, M.P., The CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer, who was received with loud and long.oontmued cheering, said it was highly gratifying to him to have received so hearty a welcome from those who tocpk so live y an interest in political quatitions, in a borongb, too, that had placed so important a part in the recent political history of the country.

It was true that the foreign palioy of this country had been made to look ridiculous in the eyaa of J-Lurope, but he contended that it was the juibeitsla who had brought abjut that result. As far as tho foreign policy of the present Go/em- inent was concerned it had a totally diffdrent (ff, et, while it had received the enaoraement of by far the greater portion of the English peipla. With regard to queaticms affjoting d >m^atic legislation the aim of the Government hd bel1 to help ice people to do what they could for their own improvement, and to foster a spirit of self. reliance tind kelf-reetraint throughout the oouatry. Ihey felt that the State might usefully point tha and remove obstacles to the progress of self, improvement, and tbis prinoiple they had followed in their legislation. With regard to friendly sooietieB, artisans' dwellings, the S'nitary con- dition cf the kingdom, the amen imenta male in ttae Poor Lp.w, and other matters affecting sooiil life, they had not thought it right to adopt the prinoiple of paternal government that was witnessed in ctr-aio othor Earopaan c)unt-ies. During the time the present G) 7pr-imant had held office England had passed through a period that Ltd been marked '\>lith many ditliaultiea and ciflauiitiea. Th.y onoceeled to power at a time fallowing a period dariag whioh there had been a great and unhealthy and excess've outburst of speculation and excitement; a titn3 when prosperity was said to have advanced by leaps and bounds. That period waa, hovavar, followed by one of reao-ion, in which those who bad previously gone too far had euffored con- siderably. Some persons had said thia was tha fault cf tbe Conservative Government. For his part ho thought it was raVisr attributable to the Governmsst that had etiraa. lated the excitement whioh had caa *ed tha roao tion. Lord Derby had recently d^tirered an -Ole speech, giving an eucruragiug vi>w oftao pi-jjent c nniaercial position, though ha had gooe a little wild in impljirg that there waa a gri tf, djsira for gunpowder and plory, a statement taat was in no i(Df, fchaied by bii late clieagued. Oa tha con- trary, they detirad aa little ga^po vd;r aid &{IJry as waa Cm:It:B:.mt with the safety aad hon-ia? of He Empire. For himself be (Sr S. Nortbcote) believed the country hid pi^aad through tia worat; that a revival had citnmanceds although he warned the poopb not to expect that it would ba r-yid and at once. Above all tbinga, h ur?od the country not to indulge in the trial of false remtrums. Seme persona were for protection, others were for turning out the Government. But he believed that whethsr they went back to protec- tion, or turned out the Government in hopea of better times, they would be equally disappointed. What they wanted was self reiianoo and faith in their country, and as lorg as they kept this faith e,nd refused to be led away by demagogues and cgitators, the fate cf the oountry waa in thair own hari-as and secure. He had heard that Sir William Harcourt was expected to come to Stroud, and thst he was to ba kcoompanied by another member of the Liberal party (Mr. John Bright) Thiu was a very prudent arrangement on the part of tho Liberal leaders, for he remembered Mr. Bright gave advice once in the Houae of Commons which would be of extreme advantage to bis colleague, Sir William Harcourt, and the advice was taken from a witty American poet who said, D"n't never prophecy unless you know." (Loud laughter.) Thora waa another tubjeofcupon which be desired to Ray a few words. They were all aware that the condition of Ireland at the present moment was the oauaa of graiit interest and anxiety in this country. They huarl reports of the dietresa which prevailed ia the country, and be waa afraid they would hear still more of it. There could ba no doubt that, although in aany parts of Ireland the condition of the country waq by no rnema unfavourable, and although in some parta it wab even better than in some parta of England, yet it was perfectly true that there were portious, especially of the West Coast of Ireland, and other districts also, in which there waa a great failure of the usual means of sustenauca, and in which there was great difficulty in finding employment for the people. He could not at preaeat enter fuliy into the question, but he wished to assura them, and through them to assure others, tbat this was a matter which had from the tirfot engaged the moat serious attention of her Majesty's Government. There were kon,e persons who thonght it to their interest to represent the Government a8 sitting with their hands folded denying that there waa any distress, and oaring nothing for what might ccme. Now, that was certainly not the oase, for evev since their attention waa drawn to the state of the country they had been examining in what j way aeuBtaLoe might be properly given without endangering the position of the people by de. moralising them, and rendering them too much paupers. Various things they had already done. As far back as November laat instructions were given to all the boards of guardians to make proper provisions for the supplies whieh might be required of food and of fuel which was lively to fall short. A" the same time encouragement was given to them to dispense with such portions of the law as might be found embarrassing in the administration of propar relief, with the full and clear understanding if they should find it neoeasary to suspend such prevision the Government would ask Parliament (in its assembling for a bill of indemnity. At the same time, in order to promote the employ. ment of the people, offers were made of advances to landlords of a more liberal character and on more favourable terms than even the favourable terms upon which they were usually made, and the Government stated that it would ba their intention to propose to Parliament when it mat a bill of indemnity for that whiou they might have dona outside the law. He believed to a certain extent these treasures have borne fruit. At the eame time we bad heard the advances which had been asked for, from,ca.oifea which it is not difficult to guess at, had been still benind what they mipht have been, therefore within the last wflelc or 10 days they had again been in communication with the Irish authorities. The Government had issued directions that up to a limited sum advances should be made in the distressed districts, upon terms which for the first two years wouid be absolutely nominal, and would afterwards be at little more than a nominal rate, viz., at the rate of 1 per oeat. rer annum. These were stepa wh oh had baen Lten they knew beyond tbe power they had at law but taken in the full confidence that Parlia- ment would ratify what they had endeavoured to do for the saving of .life aadfortha assuaging rr.if.f.rv in the Bister country.

On the 2nd of Deoembar during a Equall, the foremast waa torn completely ont, going by the board, and ripping up the deck, thus exposing the cargo. Part of the mizenmast also fell, and the veesel lay in a most helpless oondition. The seas washed over, and entered the hold through the breaoh in the deck, although the sails were used as much as possible to oover it over. At laat it became necessary to throw over- board part of the oargo. The provisions in the lbzarette-were spoiled by the water, and the men had only the small supply which had bean brought to the cabin previously. Things continued in this state for several days, and the poor fellova were almost worn out with hunger and fatigue, and had given up all hope, when on the 7th the ship North am Cattle hove in sight, saw their distress signals, and bore up for them.

Very painful eoenes continue to be witnessed at the mortuary, especially in caees where the identification is made by a father or a mother, and as traces of decomposition are now becoming more apparent, the body is fre. quently dressed and coffined before being shown to relatives. The first body got on Saturday was that of David Cunningham, a mason, 20 years of age. The remains were found about five hundred yards from the bridge, and were identified by a sister of the deceased. The second body was recovered about noon, and wae at once identified as that of John Laweon, plasterer, aged 25 years, belonging to Newbnrph. Deceased, who has left a widow and two chiioien, h&d been cut of employment fo: ecme months, and waa travelling to Tayport, via Dundee, when he met his death.

At a epeciii meetirg of ihe Laniee Town ccurcil it was res ilvec to atk the raiiwsty com- T'ST y to build the bridge as a double line, reduc h g the height of the centre giraere to 4U feet above water. rihe KLtth Eri'.isb Railway directors had a sitting ot cvfr two hours anf a halt on ihocsday aften-cc* at which tbe sut jeotoi the re-c :nfetrac- ticn ot tie 'lay Bridge was under consiteraiiou.

It af^ears to me that, if the cohiinn» bad been so fastened to tie piers, ice pie;8 wotua riire been overthrown with I the rrr, ct the brioge en masse, and tbat no vestige rf them would ixw re max to b3 seen. Binrol, in the ion of his tinnees, -ap.iol:. by columns cr upright ejpporte resttug on pisrt,, secured tbeir bates by such h .-ding down bolts, laesirig through the whole, of the masonry or brickwork aud covcr^te c, I the l¿iHF, and they are FtL.r,diyg to tEi,. d "y. 1 coEcluie Iiotu the l»at of the bridge, coium-s. gird err, e.ud all f»">iia? together, that the Tay iincge was eq-1-i.Jy well constructed, and ot the -am- strength ttroagtio-al. And there is no dourt that i- li ordinary eire in. starcts tLe weight alone of the bridge would ba quite sufficient to keep tne baits of the support- ing co;r.wllS in their po.-ir-ioos u?vu the p z! rl. But when there was a great lateral pressure exerted "PCIJ the top of the bridge, as by the ioroe of the wind which occasioned the disaster, anl where the greatest surface was exhibited on which that force could act, then the height of the bridge would act as an enormous lever. No*, if a pitEEUte is applied to one end of a lever, &qq if there be net a sufficiently great counteracting fores at the ether end, that end of the lever must shift. This is what seems to have happened iu tne Clii-e of the lay Bridge. The wind, acting with greater force on the top of tho bricge, by reason of the greater surface there exposed to its force, tuned ttie height of the bridge into a bage lever, wLote whole force was exerted to rstift its base, i.e the bases of the columns. The holding power at the base seems to have been insufficient to resist the pressure applied to the top of tha lever. I think tbat the fact of the bridge falling wbe-o there was the greatest height, and, consequently, the greatest leverage, cod firms my opinion. 1 may be wrong, but I don't think ao.—I anr, JnS. H. Pit I OK. Brynderwen, Neath, Jan 8. SIR.- PerhapB you will allow me to make a remark on the recent disaster. It appears to ma that the lifting icreg of the wind has cot been sufficiently taken into accouut, and this view appears to be borne out by the fact that the gieier which was most destroyed was not that whica ii supposed generally to have actually given w.>.y, viz., that between the third and fourth piers, but thut which was found- near No. 3 pier, U "was sc-rzt broken in seven pluwa witaia less than 1"u feet. Ar.y person who a.¡; witnessed the tctceor a hurxicane ia &wt»r<? of t!l power the vitd possesses of lit ting the roots off baildt lrcir, t c of too frast/rea I c.f the lay Bridge, I imagine that ii is n,>t only lateral pressure which ought to Da ti&eu ints account.—1 aia. &c" X.
