Tue Eicnt-Hour Movewext mn New YorxK.—About four moutms ago the caulkers, with the ship-joiners, carpenters and ship- wrights in New York notified their bosses that after the 2d of April they would demand the eight-hour system. On the 2d of April, owing to the masters taking & stand against the action of the men, the strike was begun, and has now lasted nearly twelve weeks, causing a loss of 21,500,000 in wages to the strikers and nearly $10,000,006 to the fourteen ship building firms in New York. About a week since, finding that they could not attain the object for which the strike had been made, they agreed to return to work, and did work for about half a day. At noon the bosses informed the men that they ‘were willing to take them to work, but they muet promise to belong to no association nor organization which was of a trade-protective ebaracter, and which woald interfere with their employing outsiders to do caulking work. The men held & special meeting, and agreed unanimously not to promise anything of the kind. So the matter stands at present. Laxp SaLes.—Messrs.

There was but one element lacking— thatot wealth. Her relatiyes were desirons that sbe would unite her brilliant beauty and sparkling wit, to some piece of mortality, whose purse was plethoric, and in farther, ance of that design, a sour, glam, aged and every way repulsive party, was introduced to her, and she was given to understand that she must marry him. They were married— May and December. The domestic war com- menced before the sound of the priest's words, making them one flesh were dead upon ther ears. And then, apon their wedding tour to the East came the bitter knowledge to the poor girl that she had thrown her warm and loving heart upon a soulless wretch. who prized her as one of bis possessions. In New York she attempted suicide but led; then they went to Saratoga: there, it is said, some fellow, with bis heart upon his sleeve, made ber acquaintance, and she poor human nat loved him.
