STIKEs i x ExULAo.-The gOld discoveries are producing the saIne eff'ect upon wages in England as in this country. i The slioemrkers in imany of the prnciial toins.hatvo struck for higher vages, and it is~'robablo that their dmainds will be acceded to. Indeed, they have beeti hitherto mnost badly paid, considering the present high price of all the necessaries of life. Their demand, however, will be princi. pally felt by the 'slop-shops.' aA most of the respectable. tradesnien either are at present giving, or are ready to give, a fair price for the menl's work. At Exeter, Credition; Tivorton, and other Places, the Ineii have met and passed resolutions cxpressring their dOe termination nit to return to their work until their denmands are coinplied with. At. TeigfAmiutli and Torqtuny, the plasterers and joiners have applied for an increase of wages, and, from - thie good feeling which exists between the employer and the employed, there is no doubt but that it will be -ranted.
