To-night there was a meeting of the female strikers in Lyceum Hall, in which none but the male file leaders ‘were admitted. The meeting was harmonious, ani the proceedings important, in view of the position of the fo- male element engaged in the present shoe rebellion. Twe new issues were aaded te the one already espoused, and a scale of prices fixed, which the ladies have designated as unalterable. The strike in Lyna, 60 far as the ledies are concerned, now rests upon th» fol- lowing foundations, viz:—1. Higher rates of wages. work, whether the prices are satisfactory or not, uniil the seale is signed by the bosses. 3. No work until the bosses zign the jours’ bill of wages. 4. A prospective oempro- mise. At the meeting this evening a committee was appointed to vieit Boston, Roxbury, Charlestown, Malden, Salem, Swamprcott, &c , to solicit subzcriptions in aid of the fo- male strikers. On Saturday evening last the bosees called a mecting of the female operatives, and it was held in Fraser's Hall, ‘over the Post Office. About a thousan1 women wero pre- sent. The machine bosses offered a compromise, but they were squelched out on their fireteffort. They wanted Mr. S. G, Piper, a machine bess, as chairman, but the women idn’t play a suttable tun they put their own man, W. Redriver, into the chair. ‘The boeses had refused to admit Oliver into the hall, bat the girle assumed command, under the direction of the indomitable Mrs. Damon, who {3 all sufficient for ber mis- sion, apd the bosses found that they had an Oliver for their Piper before they exactly knew where the: During the: thought that that piper wou! evening Mr. Trefaren, of Salem, commenced buginces with two machines, and had now twenty-seven, and was losing money with every addition- al machine.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE SHOEMAKERS’ STRIKE IN DOVER. Tho Dover, N.

Ali the boases but twe were present, or represented. After quite a discussion, the meeting ad- journed without settling the point, and’ eo matters now stand. The position of effairs at present is—that the trike bere is already successful. It is so regarded on all sides. The manufacturers seeing that epring businces is improving, are ready and willing, as they have always said, now to pay the advanced prices to the strikers, of course employing a8 many 88 their business will allow, or, inother words, the majority of strikers can have their prices, which is the finality of the whole matter, as the poorest workmen must nocostarily be refased work. They are and have been the ciogs to the advance- ment and just arrangement of the business, and now the thing is accomplished, gradually the disciples of St. Crispin will resume their work, and perbaps before auo- ther week everything will be as quiet and easy as for- merly, Therefore, the strike has benefitted the manu- facturer, because now his goods will be better made and bring higher prices, whilo the jours, by extra exertion -and energy, which only will do it, hive now & chanoe to make up for lost time, and be once again firmly estab. lighed “‘Knighte of the Bench.’’ NEW YORK. ANOTHER MEETING OF THE CADINET MAKERS. The cabinet makers who struck for an increaso of wages Inet week, held another meeting yesterday evening, at the Social Reform Hall in Grand street, Mr. Mehineister, President of the Cabinet Makers’ Union, in thechair. A commititee consisting of two workmen from each of the shops where an advance has been refused, was appointed to act in concert with ¢he president and secretary of the Cabinet Maker’s Union for the traneaction of business. It ‘was stated yesterday that some twenty-five or thirty of the bores had signed an agreement promising to give an increase varying ten to twenty-five per cent and the men heretofore employed in these shops will probably return to work today The other bosses do not all of them actually refuse to give tke advance; in fact, they promise to do go if the men will oome back, but the jatter require a written agreement to thateffect, which thingthe dignity of many of the bosses will not permit them to do. The men, however are, determined to remain onjthe strike for a couple of weeks to see if thoy can in that way bring them to terms. In a few of the shops where the demands of the strikers have not been yielded tothe men are yet at work, probably too poor to be idle, but the committee in- tend boos Beet them to prevail upon them to join the movement, in order that itjmay be more Pxege= at the eame time offering pecuniary assistance to ti who may need it while on the strike.

Chapman Howell, secretary. After a brief converration, in which the prevent rate of wages ($1 60 per cay) was conceded to be inadequate to the amouut of labor performed, a resolution was presented setting forth that on and after the 2d of April next, the journey- men macons of the city would require $i 75 per day, and after the 14th of May, $1 87. A member declared it would not be worth while to make two strikes of it, and moved to amend by striking out the words “J4th of May,” &c, amd inserting ‘$187 on and after the '2d of’ April next.” He thought they could get an advance of tbree shillings as Well ag two on the 2d of April. The amendment cera, oe lerdigame i= im ey a 5S adopted. ‘esent, numbering about forty-five, after- wards resolved themselves into an aseociation for Mutual protection, committees were ted to collect funds, &c., and the meeting adjourned to Monday evening next. We understand tbat a number of employees at the works of the Newark Machine Company have been dis- charged, and that others have left on account of difficul- ties and misunderstandings arising from the recent atrike for higher wages at that establishment. The workmen in Savery’s Iron Moulding Foundry, in Jersey City, have all quit work. Some time since one of the workmen was instrumental in forming a “Moulders’ Union.” Recently he deserted them and the Union, where- upon they demanded his dismissal, and the Mesers. Savery refusing, they quit work and have been idle several days. STRIKE OF THE PATERSON MASONS. ‘The journeymen masons of Paterton, N.
