London, June 19. The strike on the Continent is spreading rae. All the iron-founders are stopping, it is red in obedience to the orders of the Central Committee International League.

Keble College at Oxford was opened in presence of a large concourse of people. Deputations representing 00,000 Lancashire operatives waited on the committee of cotton manufacturers at Blackburn to-day, and asked an increase of wages.
