Maclure, member for Stratford, appeared before the Bar of the House of Commons to-day to explain their action in dismissing some of their employees who had given evidence before a Select Committee of the House. They stated that it was not their intention to prevent their servants giving evidence, and offered to make the fullest apology for the dismissal. Sir M. Hicks Beach moved that the Directors be reproved for their action and Mr Gladstone spoke in support of the motion. The Radical members thought the motion did not go far enough, and demanded that the employees who had been dismissed should either be reinstated in their old positions or be paid compensation. After a long and exciting debate Sir M. Hicks Beach's motion was carried by 359 to 70. April 9. The Miners in South Wales and Monmonthshire have submitted to a reduction of 3J per cent, in wages. Brisbane, April 7. In the House of Assembly the Polynesian Labor Bill was read a second time by 39 to 13. Wellington, April 8. The Trades Council passed the following resolution. —" That a sufficient sum of money be raised to establish in business the tramway men now on strike, and that all moneys so raised shall be applied solely for the benefit of the men." Tho idea is to establish the men in a 'bus service in opposition to the trams. The tramway men are still determined to stand out, and canvassers have been very successful in obtaining subscriptions to the fund in aid of the strikers. Speaking at a social in aid of the strike fund to night Mr McLean,M.H.R.,said he thought if both sides gave way a little the affair could very quickly be brought to a satisfactory close. April 9. The Boilermakers and Iron Steamship Builders' Association have recently submitted to the masters a new code of regulations regarding wages and hours to be worked. The former involve an increase of pay and recognition by the masters of what is known as "dire money." With regard to the latter some of the foundries here have been working night shifts as well as day hours—one fr>m 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the other other from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., with overtime after eight hours. The union now require overtime to be paid to any member working after 4 p.m., and insist on certain other gulations which are generally regarded as a deadletter, being strictly enforced. The masters have taken a firm stand in the matter, and decline to recognise the union in any way whatever. It is understood that the men can go out if they choose. The union meet this afternoon to consider the matter. THE RAINHILL AND WINDSOR MURDERS. London, April 8. Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Sir R.

She left him early, but met himllater in the evening. He then appeared to be very agitated and canversed about the nppxl# in an. excited manner, showing an intimate knowledge of the way in which tho body of the victim had been mutilated.
