H owe v e r, he sh iuld not .. qa p ose t h e bill no that ground. The great objection that he bad to the bill we. that it required the cont.acuptiou of i n certain manufactories in which, in the present state of ecienec, that was impossible, and lie should wish to propose an amendment. The SPEAKER said the hon. member could not, in the pr.sent stairs of the bill, propose an amendment. Mr. A. PELLATT mitt Ee inould hare proposed a clause that *rooke should be consumed in all manufactories where the President of the Royal Society, or the President of the Society of Civil Engineers certified that it could he done. As, however, he had not given the required notice, he would content himself with stating the amendment he would have desired to move. Mr. B. DENISON said ho was chairman of the com mittee, and the eleme was very fully discussed. The bill was then read a third time. WARRINGTON ANDALTRINCIIAM JUNCTION out of mind, a pilling booth, and there w a public-house adjoining. After tome conversation the claw was agreed to, and the Chairman reported proem... SALE AND PURCHASE OF LAND BILL. Mr. H. DR[MMOND said that the Lord Chancellor ha l intro.luced a bill into the II•lole of Lords on the lonia subjee, thowiL with the present bill. That bill was now 4 dil? '" nt • t " l "' " house and what he " trier' ell to • :elect committee ut • bill reed • second ' proposal, therefore, was to have Ws 0, 4 t i t hi . , time now, after which he would move .elTtti to the ticket comrnitttc which was ap pointed to sit on the Registrati.m of Assuruces Bill. The bill was then read a ;eeood time. On the motion that the b ill b t ' ,a cte d to the se l ect corn _ mittee Mr. com mittee, rATE suggested that great inconvenience might e.lts from referriog different bills to the same coat m'....see. If the bills were the came in principle there was no gee-ssity for more thee one bill. If the bills were not the same in principle it wu throwing upon the committee the responsibility of deciding between them. Sir .1. PAKINGTON thouzht the chow of the hon. mem ber for liiimaremek was quite correct. Mr. 0. BUTT said that it was the wish of the com mittee to have the two bills before them. The bill was then referred to the select committee. LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL. 00 the motion that this bill be committed, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected that the bill Was a govern ment order of the doe, it having been introduced by the late government, under the auspices of the right hen. gentle man opposite tHr. Napier). Coder these circumstances it ought to be postponed till the erders of independent mem bers were disposed of. He should, therefore, move that the order he postponed till after the other orders. After some &Nevem:vim, The SPEAKER decided that the bill could not be am aidered a government bill now. The house then went into committee on the bill. Clauses up to 5 were agreed to. Oa clause 5, which refers to the power of incumbraucers over *MUM, Cot. DONNE and several other members objected that the power given to incumbrancers by this clause was too great and eztensive. Mr. N Amu. said that he would consider the objection►, and be hoped to be able to modify the clause in such a way as woold obviate them. After some further discussion the clause was agreed to. On clause fs Mr. WM-ARON moved to omit the j rOViSiOnS relating to mines Mr. NAPIER ohjeeted to the amendment, which was supported by Sir I) NORUKYS and Mr. V. SCULLY. Mr. F. FRENCH suggested the withdrawal of the amendment. _ CONCLLY suggested that for the term of 41 years leases of raises. the term of 31 yew should be substituted. Mr. NAPIER said the words were "nut exceeding 41 years." Mr. M MAHON then withdrew his amendment. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 7 was agreed to. On clause 9, Sir It. FERGUSON moved in line 20 to omit the words, " import and imply." end insert the word " contain." Mr. NAPIEIt said it was rather a qu.stion of convey ancing. and he thought the provision sufficient. Mr. 11.11AlION supported the amendment. The committee divided— For the amendment Tha=t it lOO-69 was then agreed to. Oa dues 9, Mr. 'MAHON moved to omit the word " conditions," which was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Clause 10 was under discussion, when Sir J. GRAHAM interposed, and expressed a hope that as there was a bill which the government wished to ad. Vance a stage, the chairman would he allowed to report progress. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress ; sad the house resumed. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. This bill was read a third time, and paseed. SOAP DUTIES. . The holm went iatisZesmltte;;;the soap duties. On the resolution remitting the duty being put, Mr. IRE WEN complained that he and his constituency had been ill-used by the government and the Chancellor of the Ezehequer ; inasmuch as, when he brought forward a motion for the repeal of the hop duty, the only answer he got was to wait for the budget, but when that scheme was announced, no mention was made of that duty. If the forms of the house allowed, he would move an amendment on the resolution to the effect that, iustead of the soap duty, the bop duty should cease sod determine. Mr. BOUVERIB—The point of form depended on whe ther the question was the consideration of the excise duties generally, or the excise duty on soap only. That appeared to him to be the order of the day, and therefore the hon. member was precluded from moving his amendment. Mr. FRE WEN wished to have the opinion of the right hon. member for North lisunpshire (the Speaker) on the point. (A laugh) The SPk:AK EH (who was sitting on the Treasury bench) said he was afraid the member fur North Hampshire was not the highest authority when the house was in committee. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) He would, however say that it the question, was the consideration of excise duties generally, the amendment might be made; bat here the excise duty ea soap being the question the amendment would not be rel ta nd could not be nimbi. (Hear, beat.) Mr. IItEWEN only regretted that the formes ad* keno prevented his moving the amendment, but be would nap the natter year after year till the duty was repseled. The resolution was agreed to and reported te the bee" end lea,. given to bring in the bill. SEAMEN'S SAVINGS BANKS. F. FitENEtTObui;iti Tsai; totiiiTiiin a bill to establish sesames savings busks.

Yesterday the evidence, which vras pure tautology ea that of days preceding, related exclusively to the treat- ing of voters, I:clown:en, and others to unlimited breakfasts and beer in the Great George Warden the palling sad nomi nation days, and was of a nature that would not be read ably interesting. The only matter of note was the unac countable absence at one period of the proceedings of all the connect for the sitting meridiem, in consequent, of which the committee had to adjourn for their re-ap pearance. RAILWAY. Mr. M GIBSON pveuotieslitSt he should oppose this bul on Use third roadisot. PUBLIC BUSINESS. ELECTIONS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Sir O. OBEY asked the hon. and learned member who had drawn up the bill (Mr. 0. Butt) to state what was the alteration of the law made be the first clause. Mr. 0. BUTT said by the 2. 1 1 th Geo. 111., chap. RI, it was provided that the sueriff of the county shall within two days aft. • the receipt of the writ, make a proclaims. dun for holding a county court to proceed with the election not later then the sixteenth nor sooner than the tenth day after the proclamation. lie proposed to alter the law so as to make it not later than ten days nor sooner than six. Sir G. GREY said the first pert of the clause re-enacted the oil law, and then went on to m eke a provision which was inconsistent with it. Ile thought it would be better to repeal the old law altogether. Mr. G. BUTT said his reason for not repealing the old clause was thct it contained other matter. Mr. FIRRWEN thought that on some occasions holding the election a the sixth day would be too soon. He bad no ebjeetione to it when there was • general election Mr E DENISON suggested that as • reform bill was to be brought in next session it would be better not to proceed with this bill. Mr. AOLIONBY did not concur in the suggestion. He had no great continues in a reform bill being brought in, and still less in its being • satisfactory measure, and he did not like to postpone these small measures. Mr. MALINS thought there would be • reform bill, and that it was not worth while to proceed with the bill. He did not think there were any practical evils under the ex isting system. Mr. G. BUTT said these clauses were first brought for ward by him in the shape of an instruction to the committee on the bill of the noble lord the member for Middlesex. They were approved, but it was suggested that they should be introduced as a separate bill. When he moved for leave to bring in the bill, and when he moved the second reading, he stated the reasons for the measure, and he ought not to be called on to state them now. After some further conversation, Captain SCOBELL said the necessity for passing this bill was not removed by the promised reform bill, which would doubtless create • great sensation. and would probably be thrown out by the other house. This would or course lead to • diesolutiun, and then the provisions of the bill before the house would come into operation. Mr. AGLIONBY deprecated ageless discussion on minor points. It was hard on members who had been there since 12 o'clock to beer objections started two or three times ever by geemben as they dropped in, and began to enter Into the discussion. • • Mr. G. BUTT, believing the bill to be • good and useful one, could not consent to withdraw it. If only one general electron occurred under it, it would be worth all the trouble and expense. Mr. V. SMITH thought it a waste of time to discuss the present measure. After • conversation, in which about a desert members each suggestel • different course with the bill, Mr. BUTT consented to postpone the clause. Clause 2 was also postponed; and clause 3 was negatived, after a conversatioa, in the cowls of which Mr. Hunt ex pressed his belief that nine'tenths of what were called sheriffs' expenses were illegal. On clause 4, which provides for additional polling-place, Sir G. GREY said he had never beard of any incon venience nines from the existing law, and they should clearly understand what they were doing before they altered it. Mr. G. BUTT said the clause did not alter the existing law, but enabled sheriffs to provide additional places where the public convenience required it. Mr. B. DENISON was in favour of the magistrates having an entire discretion as to the whole regulations con nected with taking polls. The clause, witti erne verbal amendments, was agreed to, as wen the remaining clauses. In lies of clangs 3, Mr. G. BUTT proposed the following clauses: " That the nomination of a member or members to serve in any future parliament for the Univenities of Oxford and Cambridge respectively, shall take place on such day as shall be Axed by the vice-chancellor thereof, being not sooner than six nor later than twelve days after the writ shall have bean received by such vice-chaamllar. " That at every contested election of • member or mem bers to serve in any future parliament Ise the said nal vesatiee reeperively, the polling shall asminemso an In ' ' day r shall be deed by the vicechasealleit tbersof, being not sooner thus six air later than twelve days after the day of nomination; and such poling shall continue for five days only, sash five days to be seecerdve days in one week, ' and than opeu at are of the els* is the lemeson, and • close st five of the clock in the arteriole of easlk day: pro vided always, that if Christmas Day or Good Friday shall happen to fell Orin she week fixed foe ends polling, each day shall not be reeimeed arum of the tip days foe each polling ; but the pen chill be eggerned bag the day pre ' maims to the Ise fellevdeg meet day, and shell then pro- , mango if wads esy had net talisesseaml. • That as way enels elation the viessikenesiker shall have power to appoint any amber of pee vies-chancellors, . any one of wham may receive Mr rise sod decide upon all quieter during the abed'', of seek are-chancellor ; and such vice chancellor shall by power to appoint any number of poll clerks mad *that Arm by sae or more of whom the votes shall be Wend is such number of poll books as shall be judged seesescry by such vice•chanciUor : provided elegy', that so mote shall be entered in more than one poll book Mr. WIOILAM eggeelod the Maim to the first dame of the wank m Thine ekes days' nodes being given • of sheds, steak eemleatioe." The clause wee ed=rith this ameadmeet. On the ?anomie, lir 0. GRIT dinned that the bW would lave this Abet : while shoelenleg the time of county elections, it would render it possible that a mouth might slams be %woes the isms of a writ for a university, and the conclu sion of the election. They had had • recent instance of the inconvenience incident to university elections—(bear, hear)—and as they were gemesilag the law, he saw no rea son why this should be poled over. Sir R. INGLIS suppeeled the clause as it stood, and after a conversation, Mr. LABOUCIIIIIII hoped the bill would 'contain a provision making the pen en seek day matinsiona. He went to Oxford, at dales* eartest, M reined his vote, and ereiviag about the middle of the day, Neal the elesed, the Via-Chancellor having, as be was taßemy s pee to !stashes's'. (Groat laughter.) Having • the matter to his entire satisfaction, the worthy nursed, sad resumed the poll, after an laeserupdes of about • cots* of holm. Mr. WIORAM said the Vice-Chancellor wee hewed to keep open the poll to • certain hour, tour or lee e'deek; and he thought he should have a discretion M palms this h oe r if gge t egagy, as many members of the bar, profeediss ally engaged inLondon, could only go down after the ries of their eosins. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE said that after the eaperimase of the last election at Oxford, and the disgrace and dotriment to the university itself, much to the regret of ail nmileanni men, some curtailment of the number of days was UMW eery; but it was desirable that an extension of the hears should be allowed, for the sake of enabling professional men in Laren to go down and poll at the close of the day. An amendment embodying this view was introduced into the clause. Mr. PHILLIMORE suggested the insertion of Ascension Day amongst the excepted days. Agreed le. Sir 0. GREY moved an addition to the proviso em powering the Vice-Chancol/or to close the poll before the expiration of the five days with the consent of the condi , dates sad their agents. Agreed to. The clams was then adopted, as was the following on e, _ with the exception of the proviso—" Tire no vote shall be entered is aims than one poll-book." (;optain SCOBELL moved the following clause : " That no poll at any each election shall be taken at any inn, h .. tel, tavern, public-house, or otter premises licensed for the sale of beer, wise, or spirits, or in any booth, hall, room, or other plass directly eommunicating therewith, unless by 11l :4 2 ,.. tw5 t of all the candidate., expressed in writing." OY suggested that the weeds " unless by the the candidates" should be struck out. LIKER agreed with the bon. gentleman that • . Id be left out. But there was this objection e ther, that i one of the to of Berk -I.4l,lorlbbftelart ° !t oge polling places, n in fact the town- wns had, was Sys OYM.

On the 26th ult. Mr. J. Fraser, civil engineer, near Leeds, and Mn. Wright, of Hantsford, wrote to Mown. Loyd and Co., bankers. Manchester for nrafttancel. the former to the amount of 401 ., and the 'latter of 801. On the evening of the 27tif Mare. Loyd and Co. who'd the re mittances in lett= to the two ponies, erasisting of 101. Beak of England metes. The tweletlen, with sew 40 or di sawn, were pesled by a clerk seined Paul, and regis tered. On th e 11111 the letters were received, minus the melee, and Mr. Wawa, en reedits his letter, ins nolintely Solsonpial to Co. An in tik/ wee Inelftwiel by Mr l .l d estriek, of the polies, sad ewspieles Ira mint obviously at two individuals : sae being the k sleek, who ported the letters ; and the other being the Pirea•eldet clerk, who registered them. Wile north, and 11Antiford south of Manchester, so that the balers from Loyff't would be separated, and par threes' different hese la the Peet...dee directly they left ering deck, sod it would have been an unlikely tWO sea lettere to be robbed on the same day ander such circumstances. There were no auspicious chess en pointing to the culpability of the registering clerk beyond the absence of the notes from letters passing through his hands. Against the bank clerk there wee awe very suspicious fact, and it was that the notes sent by these letters were entered by wrong numbers is the beak book by him, so that when Loyd, sent to the Beak of England to stop payment of the notes they would, bet for an accidental discovery of the error, have stopped pay ment of other notes than those stolen. Another einem stance, pointing suspiciously at Lloyd's own people, was that the notes stolen, being found to have been ped into the Mancliestkr Branch of the Bank of England, before 10 o'clock on the morning of the 28th (the morning after Obey bad been posted), were without the private numbers. These private numbers had been written at Lloyd's, on the Idea h , nd margin, and • piece of each note, containing lien numbers, had been pinched out, as if done accidentally. Ueider these eir . euppansenyeal was apprehended and ez- ambled before to Manchester aasiseraiie as Termlay. Mr. Higgins, barrister, defended to peferear, and aimed *at a youth is the bank accompanied hit OD plestbe_lstreas on the 27th, so that he could not have &Medea the notes after he left the bank, Then, uto the wrong ambers en tered, he showed that these neaten were aimed in the book on the morning of the 26th, the day before the notes were sent ; and when, u he contended, the prisoner could mat have known that they were going to be posted. The Imgiatratcs thought the use suspicious, but discharged the Owner. The fact came out that it has been an old sod einal practice at Loyd's Bank to post letters containing Mittances, fastened with wafers only, and net with seal , flit wax. THE WHITTINGTON CLUB AND METROPOLITAN Avnzs.crw.—Last night a public general meeting of the members of this club was held at the clubhouse, for the purpose of considering its prescat condition, and of takiag such steps as might appear necessary for placing it upon a permanent and enduring basis. The chair was taken by Mt. Mechi, who congratulated the meeting upon the vet ort of the committee appointed to inqu ire into all the aff a i rs of the club. Mr. C. Luahington ez M.P.), Mr. Men n en, Mr. Maguire, Mr. Pescocke , Mr. Yappe, and several other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in support of resolutions, assuring the public that the Institution was worthy of sup port, from the physical, moral, and ancial benefits it bail conferred.

'Her game is to get the Si gentleman to marry, and, by her flatteries and blandishments, she has nearly accomplished her pur pose. The Marshal has a niece, an innocent young girl, of whom he very fond, and whom the ferule Tanta' con sequently Sebes to get out of the way. :he accordingly spreads a scandalous story, injurious to the young lady 'a reputation; and the distress produced by this calumny, and its ultimate exposure, to the confusion and discomfiture of its author, form the subject of the piece. The plot is well constructed, and the incidents are of such a nature as to produce many interesting scenes. The character of the female Tartuffe is more complex than that of the hypocrite of Moiler,. Something of the tragic element enters into it, which renders it fit for Mdlle. Rachel. Madame de Blass, though an adventurer and a hypocrite, labours under remorse for a terrible passage in her earlier life, and is passionately in love with the young man to whom the Marshal's niece s betrothed—an addi• tiocal incentive to hatred of the victim whom she attempts to destroy. Hews Madame de Blessac's habitual dissimu lation is mingled with feelings not only real, but of almost tragical intensity. Tbe wbeie character is one of Rachel's most powerful pictures, and the more powerful from its perfect quietness and entire freedom from exaggeration. There is another character almost aa ably drawn as that of the heroine. It is that of the Baron de Toarbieree, a spendthrift, who, having got into Madame de Blossac's debt, is so much in her power as to be obliged to connive at her plots, till, having obtained the means of paying her off, he assists in unmuking her. Regnier's acting of the shrewd, worldly scamp, with some good feelings and no principles, was so admirable, that he divided the applause with Rachel. The young girl, Jeanne, was acted with great simplicity and sweetness by Mille. Palmyre, sad the ensemble of the performanoe was extremely satisfactory. The play was received with the warmest applause by one of the most crowded audiences of the season. NAVAL.

But whilst the Legis lature is dealing with the relations of labour in one direction, the changed of the country are acting upon them very remarkably in another. The stir among the working men of all trades which was sure to follow the gold discoveries and emigration of last year is now becoming apparent to all eyes. For somo months we have been hearing of a rise of wages in most employments; and now there arc strikes. There is a great turn out at Stockport. Nearly twenty thousand men, women and children are out of work ; and there will be more in a few days. In Liverpool, the cotton-por- , ten and dock-labourers are out; and the letter-car- , riers threaten resignation. In Manchester the police give notice of their intention to retire, in consider- , able numbers, if their wages aro not raised. And in various towns, and among a multitude of occupations, the terms remain unsettled. How little could we , have believed, at any former time within the century, that we could announce strikes and turn-outs without painful feelings, even with a sense of satisfaction, — though as far as ever from thinking strikes good things in themselves! At the beginning of the , century, when the cotton spinner worked seventy four hours per week, and paid ls. 10d. for the quartern loaf, his wages of 325. 6d. kept him very low, and in a complaining state, the comforts of life being much less abundant than now, and "every thing so dear." The labourers struggled on for a while, till somebody put it into the heads of a few of them that there were lands across the Atlantic where labour was sure to obtain a plentiful subsis tence : and then emigration began. It seems to have gone on for some time in a stealthy way, lest King GEORGE should stop the process, and make soldiers of the departing citizens; but, in 1808, there was a wreck of an emigrant ship, and- public atten tion was called to the fact, that 130 men were "flying their country" at a time when thirty or forty guineas were paid for a substitute for the militia. Emigration was the resource of an extremely small number then,as appears from the outcryaboot the sedi tion or treason of men deserting King GlEoac E and it was considered to boa sign of distress which could go no further. The distress deepened, however, as the war went on, till the awful period from 1811-1814 showed what the lowest depth of the working man's life might be. The price of provisions was such that the salaries of clerks and the wages of artisans in government employment wero doubled, to enable them to live and keep to their work ; but the un happy beings who were less immediately valuable sank all the lower. The lowest of all were, as at all times in the century, the hand loom weavers. They had complained of hard ship in 1806, when they could earn 17s. 6d. a week; but in 1811 they had only 7s. 6d. Then came strikes on the part of those who were not too much depressed to argue the matter; but the employers were suffering too; and if, in dread of popular de spair, they seemed to yield an increase of wages, they saved their dwindling wages fund by reducing the hours of labour. The horrors of those Luddite times will never be forgotten by the elders of the existing generation; and they will go down to the future in history and tradition. And many have been the painful strikes since; many the heart burniogs on the part both of employers and em ployed ; many the crimes committed by the ignorant under the oppression of masters or comrades; so that there came to be something heart-sickening in the very mention of disputes about wages. The workmen, by refusing to do work which must be done, compelled the invention of labour-saving machinery; which was again made the occasion of Luther quarrel : and, on the other hand, the em ployers were too strongly tempted to work their human tools as if they were made of wood and iron, and not of bone and sinew, mind, heart, and soul. And now, what a change ! In the first place, the controversies are not all— nor nearly all—about money. Many are about time. This is one of the surest indications of the exist ing prosperity. From thirteen hours to twelve, eleven, and ten and a half, the operatives in vari ous trades have gained their point of ten hours. Others are still standing out for it. From the harmony and prosperity which exists where ever piecework is agreed upon, we are inclined to think that in piecework will the solution of the dis pute be found in many cases; and that piecework will be found possible in many more cases than has been usually supposed. All England, and all peoples who trade with England, will watch with deep inte rest the use made of their leisure hours by those who have struggled for and obtained them. We have strong hopes of a creditable issue, in spite of much painful evidence of the misuse of money and time by some to whom prosperity is new and intoxicating. It is too tree that intemperance and brutal amusements bring reproach on certain claws of workpeople, but there are so many who show a wiser mind and a bet ter spirit--so many who can and do speak and preach eloquently on the moral and intellectual benefits of leisure—that their cause; and the reputation of their body may, we believe, be left in their hands ; and if so, the next generation will show the happy effects of the leisure granted to this. Little uit is, as yet, it is enough, if well used, to change materially the character and the chances in life of the working classes of our country. It may not be altogether a novelty that strikes for wages ensue on prosperity instead of adversity. It has usually been the least distressed of the working classes who have struck, for the obvious reason that they alone have resources to begin upon ; and, again, because any amount of welfare bu made them desire more. As the employers need to say in the days of ill blood, "it made them saucy." It is not therefore new that the more prosperous are the turn-outs. But it seems to be a new thing that the in ventions of labour-saving machinery, which are sure to be forthcoming if the strikes con tinue, will be rather welcomed than cursed, and will tend to promote quiet rather than outrage. In the agricultural departments of labour, the new machinery which is invented from day to day seems to meet with an universal welcome, because the la bourers are emigrating as fast as their place can be supplied by the machinists. The factory operatives are a far better informed class than the rural la• bourcrs—more familiar with machinery, and the history and philosophy of machinery. They must know very well that if they stand out for time or money beyond a certain point—trade remaining prosperous—new ways of superseding them will certainly turn up; and, knowing this beforehand, they cnnnot be angry when it happens. They arc challenging the machinists to do their utmost; and they will accept the issue with a good grace—as eqn afford to do. the very stru ,,,, le arisinn. out of a state of prosperity. The case of Coventry is remarkable at present. Her ribbon machinery is equal, perhaps, to any in use for any textile fabrics ; and the days of wretchedness of the hand loom ribbon weavers (ere, we hope, over for ever—so f im ,;y as the power-limp. :,„ As to ribbons, Coventry and her operatives will, no doubt, have much the same fortune, and follow much the same course, as Nlancheett'..: with its cotton fa brics, and Bra'Mali with its woollens. But the other great branch of Coventry production, watchmaking, is in an embarrassed state, from deficiency of labour. ' The Australians are all wanting watches, and the Coventry men. seem to think they may as well make the watches in the land of gold, where they are wanted, rather than in their old town, NS here PEe.r- ING Ton has not yet spied out any nuggets; so they are gone with their tools ; and there is a most perplexing scarcity of good workmen in a branch of manufacture into which it does not appear that machinery can enter any further than at present. It is in such skilled operations as watchmaking that we shall witness the new and curious spectacle of a deficiency of labour and its effects—a spectacle which the reformers of the Poor Law, twenty years ago, little imagined would be offered within the century. No feature of the present case is more striking than the conduct of the Stockport employers. They have instituted statistical inquiries within a certain cir cuit ; and have grounded their reply (which is a par tial refusal) on the returns thus obtained. This is away of doing the business of controversy which would not have been dreamed of in former times—in any times but those which are restoring the primitive paucity of labour without the primitive conditions of manu facturing skill and popular demand. Till within a year or two, the employers had only to shut up their mills and wait—certain that a hungering multitude would soon be knocking at the gates entreating to come in. The case is very different now. In case of protracted dispute the men will be off. There is no reason why they should not ; and the employers have to be careful of their tone and temper, as well as of their facts and reasonings. The Stockport em ployers seem to have been so; and we hope that reasonableness on both sides will lead to a speedy agreement. Meantime, we see much to rejoice over in the cheerful industry and prosperity of manufar turing towns where piecework is in favour, and where pauperism is reduced—as in Birmingham, fur instance, where it is little more than one. fourth what it was five years since ; and in the demand for more ltisure on the part of the working men ; and in the much-improved tone of controversy between the two great classes engaged in production. We believe that the prosperity thus evidenced is sound in its character, and we would fain see it re ceived and employed with a temper and judgment no less sound. MEAT is dear, and likely to be dearer. It would be strange if it were not. The demand has increased, an 3 the supply has fallen short. The two great pro phecies of the Protectionists have not been realised : wages have not fallen, and we are not inundated with foreign beef and mutton. The busy, well-paid mil lions of the manufacturing towns—the millions whom DISRAELI described a few years ago in one of his lately reprinted novels as declining from chops to red herrings, and from herrings to potato fare, now cat meat heartily, at least once, and in the ha , dware districts thrice, a day. It is the additional half-pound a day consumed by the manufacturing million that tells so steadily on the demand. We may say safely that an extra half-pound of meat a day on every working man's table makes the difference between indigence and competence to thousands. from the herdsman on the hills to the butcher's boy in the area. But in the midst of a measure of agricultural prosperity, caused by the high price of every single article of produce, except wheat, there is a black cloud in the horizon, which if it does not justify the chronic grumbling of the true bred farmers, at any rate causes a certain degree of well-founded appre hension. Store stock of all kinds are scarce and dear. In the absence of any system of agricultural statistics, calculations of an agricultural character are founded on mere guess-work, and reckless speculations and still more reckless fancies succeed each other. At present every grazier with a fair supply of keep desires to buy stock. The consequence is such a rise in price that tho cool heads look forward and calculate that they will want a serious additional rise in the meat market to pay for the fattening of their dear-bought stock in the next twelve months. This is a serious evil ; for although workmen's wages are good and rising, every rise in the price of meat be yond sixpence a pound checks the demand in doubling ratio by every penny, per pound. We can raise an additional crop of wheat in twelve months if threatened by a short supply, or we can import from every quarter of the world; but, even by mo dern improvement, it takes two years' feed to fatten a sheep and three to fatten a bullock ; and there are very few countries ready to send us live stock at a paying price by sea voyage. The rapid and complete communication between all the cattle markets of the kingdom enables us to know that the scarcity of live stock is no false alarm. We have no longer that entire mystery which still prevails about grain and other crops. There are not the un exhausted supplies of mountain sheep and cattle which used to require a rise of threepence and oftea of sixpence a pound before it would pay to drive them the long journey to the fattening districts. The railroad, the steam-boat, and tee electric tele graph, have gone far to equalise not only prices, but supply and demand, all over the kingdom. In a few hours the extremities of Scotland, Wales, and Eng land can be made to feed the midland and metropoli tan counties. The steady fall which took place in the price of meat soon after railroads were extended to Exeter on one hand and Aberdeen on the other was due not only to,the commercial depression which helped on the repeal of the corn laws, but to the in creased supply poured into markets which had pre viously depended on a limited circle of roads, and also to the saving of meat and fat which, by the road-driving system, was wasted. Before the opening of the South Wales line, mutton, which now fetches 7d., was commonly in the districts sold at 30. Under the most careful system of driving with his own drovers, resting on the road on his own pastures between Norfolk and Smith field, one of our most eminent farmers calcu lates that he lost in flesh and fat 18s. on every beast and 4s. 6d. on every sheep. The railway saved this loss. As long as the demand was slack, competition gave a full share of this saving to the consumer. But we have pretty well exhausted these rural sup plies: we have no more mountains of mutton or broad marshes of oxen to draw upon. The utmost we can do is to save a few pounds weight per train by per suading the railway companies to snake the cattle trucks more comfortable trucks, or the graziers to allow their beasts a tarpaulin covering in wet weather. No. Time, and nothing else, can anpply " the never-to-be•sufficiently-deplored" blank in our meat markets. We have learned at length that in live mat the foreigner can do very little for us. The circle of supply is narrow, and can only be increased by the extension of northern railroads in continental Europe, and by the slow process of improvement in foreign cattle. It will take time to teach Holstein and Denmark, North Germany and Hollar.d, to breed the sort of stock which it will pay Norfolk and Lincoln- 17 • l u n c i d , d u i:l r n t l .a ' o c i t: a t . 1 ; t 1 winter yards. From S td o h p a a a tr i i distance seems too great. hire And now as to the stock of cattle is sho,* sr the 1t rs l jdr "farmers' i-b E f ltr r as i ll e i ttc n otholy d friends," ntt t :' 1 111 1 1 e prophets of total ruin —of farms uncultivated—rents unpaid—wheat at '_Os. a quarter—labourers at (11. a day—and invasion of tens of thousands of foreign beef and mutton at 3d. a lb.—must bear the blame of the present shut supply of lean stock which prevents our farmers from reaping a full harvest of profit from the carni vorous capacities of our manufacturing p pulation. The whole and sole truth is that the Protectionist orators frightened the farmers into selling off cattle to an immoderate extent— cattle which, if kept, would have made little fortunes for their timid owners. When we now traverse the farms of England we aro struck by the rapid progress of every branch of agri culture ;--yet 41hen we listen to the farmers themselves, at their chi* and market dinners, we are amazed at their polideal gullibility. We still hear the cana -1 facturiug classes described as " farmers' enemies; and N e still find the title " farmer,' friends" ap. plied to those political impostors who counselled des pair and who condemned the enterprise and improve ments they now patronise. Let our agricultural friends calmly ask themselves whether they would not have been better off during the lest six years if they had taken the advice of " the abominable Free Traders," and obtained from their landlords fixity of tenure, more drains and fewer hedges, better homesteads and 11, SS game. And if t fey themselves had ploughed deeper, =mired care fully, increased their live stock, replaced the flail by the threshing machine, and the broadcast sheet by the drill, the horse team by the steam engine —es they are now doing. In doing all these things they would have followed our advice, but they preferred cheer. ing and subscribing for the CHItIsTOP/lEnS and FOSKV:TS, who in return prophesied that it was alike useless to breed and useless to feed, useless to build homestalls, or eat down elm trees in hedge-rows ; declaring also that to use guano was a delusion, and to employ machinery was a snare. The result of the landlord predictions and advice as to stock was a panic which filled the pastures and stalls of the more wise at panic prices, while it gave a check to breeding which it will take some years to remedy. If, them, in Lincolnshire or Norfolk, Warwickshire or Leicestershire, the feeders for the fat markets find a difficulty in getting a full supply of stock, let them remember that they owe it not to us and our friends—not to Free Trade; but to dolorous, ignorant, interested vaticinations of the "farmers' political friends." FRANCE. 81:1131A1W.01 TELEGRAPH ) PARIS, TIICIUDAY MORNINC. Lettere from Athens of the 10th announce that the French squadron was to sail on the tdlowing, morn ing. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There is a very important article in the Par, clearly showing that in the opinion of the French government, the occupation of the Danubian pro. vinces by Russia, will be equivalent to a declaration of war upon Turkey, although "not so flagrant a eases belli," as if the attack were made upon another part of the Ottoman empire. The article, however, in the most positive manner affirms that the Russian ' theory as put forward first by the Assentblje, and afterwards by the Debats, is inadmissible. The Constitutionnet, evidently obeying a hint from government, says: The possible, or we may even say probable, entrance of Russian troops into the principalities is tt.e object of many comments, but we have not yet sem that any one has, in order to judge of the proper bearing of such a measure, brought forward the treaty which regulates the matter. This treaty is that of Balla Liman. concluded in May, IW. This" Sened "—since that is the Turkish name given to the document—is the latest obligatory convention entered into between Russia and the Porte on the subject of the princi palities, it was concluded fur seven years, and provide!, in Article 4, that a new occupation of these provinces is to depend on any serious events which may anise in the principalities. It is to be simultaneous, and the force on either side must not exceed 30,000 men. No other cause of occuration is stipulated for. The Bourse was agitated today, and after various fluctuations, the threes closed with a fall of nearly 1 per cent. There was a report that Lord Aberdeen had resigned, and was succeded by Lord Palmerston, and a rumour that Kossuth and Mazzini had secretly left England, and that an insurrection had broken out at Milan. M. de Kisselef the Russian minister here, has taken a splendid house at Vichy for the season. The landlord, alarmed at the rumours of war, insisted upon a considerable sum of money down before ho would sign the agreement, and this M. de Kisselef cheer fully paid. The lease of the house in Paris occupied by the Russian embassy is out this year, and the pro- prietor, the Duke d'Albutera, required as a condition of the renewal, that M. de Kisselef should covenant in case of his departure to pay a forfeit of two year's rent instead of one, which has been usually stipulated for in such an event. These two anecdotes are thought to indicate the improbability of war. It is confidently said at the Ministry of Marine that Admiral Baudin will be immediately appointed to replace Admiral de la Sum in the command of the fleet at the Dardanelles. Immense activity pre veils in every branch of the marine, and I am assured that a supplementary credit of 24 millions has been granted to the minister of that department M. Marco de St. Hilaire, the author of the " Souvenirs Intimes " of the Emperor Napoleon which appeared in the feuilleton of the Siecle soon after the foundation of that paper in 1837, and made a good deal of noise at the time, has just been rewarded with a pension of 1,200 f. a year. M. Enene Sue may shortly be expected in Paris. I mentioned some time ago that, although his name was not upon any list of proscription, the French consul in Savoy, acting, of course, under instructions, had refused to grant htm a passport for France. It was indirectly intimated to M. E. Sue that any sp. plication for a passport addressed by him personally to the French government would be cheerfully ac- Feded to, but he preferred the inconvenience of neglect ing his private affairs to suing for permis sion to enter his native country in any exceptional manner. lam now informed that the difficulties which stood in the way have been removed without any solicitation on his part. I hear that M. Victor Hugo is about to leaveJer ' sey for Portugal. I have reason to know that within the last felt days a much better understanding than for merly has been established between General Ca vaignae and M. Ledru Rollin. To say that an entente cordiale prevails between them would be too much. I am told that the right phrase to use as descriptive of the new relations of thee/ two eminent party leaders is "a certain accord. The basis of the approximation I understand to be this, that Ledru Rollin, while retaining his person 4 convictions, desires to declare his opinion as a 'rim cal man, that there is not room for two republican parties in France, and that he is not now the person to be the leader of the one. A new work, treating of the last revolution in the Two Sicilies in a manner extremely favor able to the supposed claims of the Mutat family to the crown, was seized the other day by the police on the steps of the Naples embassy here. This act of severity against doctrines which it might have been supposed would have been regarded with indulgence, if not encouraged by the pre'ellt government, is meant to be a proof that all ambitious Ideas of remodelling the map of Europe aecordingta the views of the ultra-Bonapartists arc abandoned. The author's name given in the title page of the book is M. Fite Rayons. But this is a tiont-deltserr , .. The Monitcur contains three columns of laudat!on of the senate and Corps Legislatif, and the regulation which govern their proceedings. It is little more than an echo of M. Billault's report to the Emperor. In ore passage it instances the tact that the no!e• ments of the French and English fleets were tits
