Guascow, Oct. 28, 1878, Various shipbuilding firms received this morning an intimation from the iron work- ers’ secretary that the Boiler Makers’ and Iron Shipbuilding Association intended withdrawing its men whenever the proposed reduction of seven and one-half per cent was enforced. Accordingly the workmen of five establjshments struck. John Elder & Co., Clyde shipbuilders, em- ploying 4,000 men, decided to reduce their force by 1,200 men, The decision was made known to the men at luncheon to-day, after the launch of Her Majesty's steam corvette Conquest. One of the firm said:—‘There are only three ships build- ing, as you maysee, Five years ago we had twenty-five under contract. I regret to say that the prospects of more orders soon are not good. Indeed the outlook is most gloomy.” SUFFERING AT THE MINES, Notices are posted in the Kilsyth district collieries announcing a further reduction in a fortnight of sixpence per day in the wages. ‘This is very severe on the men, who are now receiving only three shillings and sixpence to four shillings per day during five days in each week. Many miners’ families are already in a state of absolute destitution. THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROTTEN BANK.. The Crown authorities have decided to bring a charge of embezzlement against the directors of the City of Glasgow Bank in addition to the indictment for falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition. Under the present charge bail is admissible, but under the indictment proposed it will be inadmissible. The charge of embezzle- ment is based on the fact that the bank previous to its suspension was in the habit of pswning in London bills committed to its care in the ordinary course of business, JOHN INNES WRIGHT'S LIABILITIES, The liabilities of John Innes Wright & Co., whose bankruptcy was announced on the 26th inst., are over $5,000,000.

The downfall of a syndicate in the grain trade is ex- pected.
