The strike of the miners at Newcastle, says the local correspondent of the "S. M. Herald" has had the effect of completely changing the aspect of the city ; that whereas it was formerly busy and bustling, it is now quiet; that its wharves are deserted, and that the cranes are lying" idle, while there is scarcely any activity among the shipping.
