Several of the Sub-Contractors on the Great Western Railway have decamped with the labourers' wages. What steps, if any, have been taken to afford relief to the poor men who must be severe sufferers by this rascality we have not learnt; but certainly some means will be taken to mitigate the evil and prevent its recurrence.

On Monday night [June 28], the City Council passed a By-Law by a vote of 16 to 3, to authorize the issue of Debentures to the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railroad Union Company, for £60,000; of which £25,000 is a gift; and £35,000 a loan. The order for the lease of the ground for a Depot, near the market, to the same company was also finally passed.

The Middlesex Prototype, says, in reference to the Great Western Railroad; gangs of men stationed every few miles between London and Windsor, and the cleared track and grade and ditching stretching East and West are suggestive of the short time which will elapse, when the solitude of the forest re-echoes to the neigh of the iron steed as he wheels along in this rapid course. We have heard a great deal of the disturbance created by the men employed on the work in the neighborhood of Hamilton, but along this section nothing has occured to cause any terror or alarm to the inhabitants on the route. The men have so far conducted themselves both quietly and orderly.
