The accounts from the disturbed coal-districts are not favourable. In

Shropshire, about Wellington and Shipnell, where the example of - the Potteries had been followed, five ringleaders were seized, and on

Thursday the tract of country was quiet ; but the Yeomanry Cavalry were on guard. There have been no new disturbances in the Potteries ; but business has quite ceased in many districts, and the strike spreads. As many as six hundred special constables have been sworn in for the district, and more troops have been sent from Birmingham and Man- chester. The colliers have sent a deputation to Macclesfield, in Cheshire.
