Ir is not surprising that the attention of the public should have been at once aroused by the statement lately made, that there is an actual scircity of labour in some of the factory villagvs of Lancashire, at the very Cane when guardiars and relies committees are maintaining unemployed operatives in the towns. There seems to be no dispute about the fact ; and different ways of accounting for it have been offered at committN) meetings, and in reports, and in newspaper ow reepondenoe. If anything is to be done to rectify this inequality of labour, and to help both em ployer and employed in so strange a difficulty, it must be through a thorough understanding of tlie case, in the first place ; and we have =mhos.) seen any statement which comprehends all the known causes of the anomaly. We hear first, as usual, of the bad quality of the Indian cotter. This may acoorut for the scarcity of hands, because from one-third to one•balf more hands are required to work the bad than the prime cotton ; bat how does it account for the scarcity of labour, if weavers, warpera, and winders are actually idle in the nearest towns 1' If the man who used to attend to four looms when using American cotton can now manage only two where Indian cotton is employed, why is not another man brought to the two looms which must other wise stand idle t The answer given to this ques tion before the Central Committee is, that at any one time hands can be had, but that they cannot be assured of constant employment, because of the pertinacity of the importedworkpeople in demand ing work in those wills only which yield the highest wages by using the best kinds of cotton. This answer is found anything but satisfactory ; as it well may be. We mry find a better presently. Elsewhere, the blame is thrown on the mill owners, both in the towns and the villages. The town employers are charged with looking on com placently while their streets are filled with huovry looking operatives, idle and depressed, the masters preferring this stht to tiro risk of the co npetaion of the village employers, and the consequent rive of wages when the demand improves. The country MiilOWDOrlk en the other hand, are amused of selfishness and hardness in not compensating the workpeople for the troubles they have in managing the cotton. If the operative earned good wages before with easy cotton, and can only earn much smaller wages now from the diellonhi of the cotton, it appears to some well-meaning ob servers that the masters 'honk' "compensate" the men for this misfortune; as if it were no mis fortune to the employers to pay high for infector cotton during all the months that the price of the manufactured article hu borne no proportion to the costliness of the raw material I In this, as in every marked and extensive change in the condi tions of the labour market, it is absurd to blr - ne the employers. It is not alleged that the masters in Blackburn are maintaining the idle people out of their own pockets ; and yet the Relief Com mittee there long ago struck off from their books every family in which there was an unemployed operative of the classes now in such demand in the villages. It would answer better to the mill owners, as to everybody else in Blackburn, to be rid of these idle hands than to have to support them now to keep down any possible competition from country mills. As for the country mister', if they want hands so much, they would certainly give any wages they could afford to obtain this., before they could have any right to bestow money as compensation for the inferiority of the cotton under which they are themselves suffering. There must be some better reasons that these, more sensible and more just, for the fact which seems so strange. The reasons are not very difficult to find. Is there accommodation in these rural districts for the additional hands t If one-third or one half more hands are required to work the Name number of looms, where is this addition to the load population to be lodged 1 To this obvious question the answer is that no such accommoda tion exists. There are no cottages to be had, and no lodgings for new-comers. " But cannot the people " come to the mill by rail from the towns I They " need to do so." Who did sot end when f Capital workers, in the most prosperous times. In such cases only can it answer to travel to and fro. At the present rate of earning it could not possibly pay. It must be remembered, too, that the extraordinary circumstances of the district and the manefacture have affected the ordinary operation of the natural laws of the labour market. When, in normal circumstances, workmen present themselves to . fill up a chum and meet a want, those men are in dependent, and muter. of their own movements. They possess the means of removal if they decide to remove, sod they judge for themselves whether the need they propose to supply will be lasting enough to make it prudent to bring their families to a new scene. The poor fellows at Blackburn now are in very different case. They have nothing left of their owu, and could not remove if they wished it ever so much. In their dependent condition they cannot form plans, nor venture upon experiments. If they could, there would be a grave consideration still in They I dread losing their settlement if oats go Milky. This is their last hold on a ; tad they must be very sure of What they may expect before they will give it up. All this points in oue direction, as no observer eye htil to perceive. What mode of relief can com pare with that which should set down families of workers beside the mills where they are wanted I Even if it were certain that full supplies of no , objectionable cotton would be obtained a year, or am' mouths hence, would it not be worth wFle to enable these unemployed people to maintain them selves during the interval by spending on their removal any amount which is not greeter than is now paid from some quarter or another for their subsistence T Is it out of the question for the Relief Committees to assist their poor charges in this way, in snob cases as that of Blackburn T It is said that there are difficulties in the way. There are difficulties in the way of all real charity. The Relief Committees have handled so many difficulties so exceedingly well that the grateful nation may well be slow to believe that there is anything obviously desirable that they cannot effect. Any one of them which may take this matter in hand will deserve and obtain further gratitude ; and any one of them which succeeds will hold a high place of honour in the history of the rescue of Lancashire in the cotton famine. THE inhabitants of Devon and Cornwall had a narrow escape last week from a most no , pleasant visitation. Another outbreak took place in the Convict Establishment at Dartmoor, and seems to have only failed of a certain measure of success through a misunderstanding as to the time of the preconcerted signal. A considerable number of the prisoners at Dartmoor are engaged in the out-door occupations of ag,icialture, and it was in a party of these that the mutiny broke out, at four o'clock in the after noon of yesterday week. The men were in possession of effective weapons in their heavy iron spades, and their intention seems to have been to have beaten down the fore of warders with them, and then to have rushed through the outer Pie of sentries, and, having gained their liberty, spread themselves over the country in their old character of robbers and garotters. It is stated that the authorities of the prison had received an intimation from one of the better disposed convicts that some design of this kind was formed, but no special importance seems to have been attached to the information—if a statement may be called information which is as true at one time as another. Insubordination tending to mutiny is chronic at Dartmoor, and only a fortnight before this lest affair a mutiny was attempted, the ringleaders of which have since been punished with the lash, irons, and bread-and•water diet. From the words addressed by the ringleaders to their fellow convicts it ig plain that the mutiny had con siderable ramifications. The warden, however, acted with energy under a determined chief, Mr. Bates, and their attitude kept the mr 4 n body of the convicts within the bounds of obedience. These repeated outbreaks show that the authori ties at Dartmoor have not yet learned the secret of governing criminals of the desperate class received there. What has twice been attempted within three weeks may be tried again with more imc-Ass, or if the convicts do not get loose they may destroy valuable lives in a conflict with their keepers. Something should be done—and that soon—to put the discipline of the place on a better footing. THE 7. PRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, rbe court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. SO.

In the Corps Legialatif yesterday the election of M. Samuel Welles de Lavalatte for a district in the Dordogne was objected to on the ground that he was not a Frenchman. The facts are that he was born at Boston, U.S., in May, 1834, of Ameri can parents, but being the adopted son of the Mar quis de Lavalette, senator, be had sufficient in terest to get himself proposed as a government candidate, and it being found out at the last moment that he was disqualified as a foreigner, the Emperor, on May 16--only a fortnight before the elections—gave him letters of na turalisation. It was strenuously argued by MM. Elwin and Picard, that, by virtue of an umnpealed law of 1849. nothing short of an express act of the legislature could qualify a foreigner to become a deputy, and that imperial letters of natu ralisation were insufficient. The government commissary, however, maintained that the law of 1849 was repealed by implication in 1832, and the chamber adopting this view M. Welles do Lava lette was admitted. The case of M. Cur 4 of Bordeaux then came on, and gave occasion to M. Jules Simon, one of the members for Paris, to come out as a parliamentary orator of a very high order. M. Curd had only a majority of 40 votes over the opposition candidate, If. Lavertujon, the editor of the Gironde. It was proved that 18 functionaries were put upon the register after the time allowed by law, that M. Pietri, the prefect of Bordeaux, was registered too late. and that 23 bankrupts,who are by law disqualified, were permitted to vote. In addition to these material facts, illegalities of the ordinary sort, and which may be said to be common to all the elections, were set forth with great elo quence by M. Jules Simon. He was replied to by Thuillisr„ councillor of state, in a vehement speech which all the opposition journals ad salt revealed remarkable talent. He carried the war into the enemies' country, violently at tacked M. Lavertujon and the Gironde, explained the government view of the system of government easdidates, and asserted that all the manceuvras imputed to M. Pietri were merely defensive. He disposed of the figures brought against him by making out, to the satisfaction of the majority, that out of the eighteen functionariesimploporly registered, only seven voted ; and that, sithou& the 23 bankrupts were liable to be prosolliod far having taken part in the election, yet that, beint upon the register, their votes could not be rejected' on a scrutiny. These reasons prevailed, and M. Curb is a deputy. The France thinks his seat was in very great pee, and that K Thuiller's eloquence alone saved bim. I understand, but the fact is not yet official, that the new election for Paris in M. E. Pelletan's cir. cumecription is fixed for the 13th and 14th December. The Obserrateur de r dime, a Leon journal, has received a warning for "most indecent attacks upon the majority of the Corps Legialatif." . . . . A IL R de Guardin, who has just come from Marseilles, and who was a witness to an accident from a train running off the rails, gives his opinion in the Prose that the line between Lyons and Mar seilles is now in such a bad state that the public runs very serious risk in travelling upon it. Such a statement cannot fail to call forth explanations from the company, which has hitherto had the credit of having one of the best managed railways in the world. The Bourse is a good deal better.

General interest in India centres in the Punjab, where the Viceroy and the Commander-in-Chief are making political and military tom.. ; where the Viceregal Council is about to hold an extraordi nary meeting ; where a force of more than 7,000 men of all arms is marching against the fanatical tribes on the Hamra frontier ; and where a camp of exercise is being formed for political as well as military reasons. The Viceroy does not seem to be adhering staidly to the published programme of his route, but m daily marching donble stages, with a view to relish Sealkote and Peshawar earlier than was expected The chief will go through Cashmere to Peshawur. It is settled that the entire council of the Viceroy shall repair to Lahore, to take pm; in the extraor dinag legislative pro ceedings at the capital of the Punjab. Thus in January next, the executive and leilislative personnel of the viceregal government will be separated from the capital and seat of 6o vernment of India by an inter al of about 1,300 The Sittanees on the N. W. frontier continue to be troublesome. A formidable force has been ordered to take the field against them. The ren dezvous for the corps forming the expedition is to be at a place near Nowabera. General Chamberlain is to assume the command. General Gana* is to command the Peshawar division. The expedition is to cross the frontier into the Swat valley about the middle of November, and it is hoped will have completed its work before the snow closes up the passes, which usually occurs in December.

In reference to this flag the Hurkaru says: All who wish well to this country mud earnestly pray that the new flag may be the symbol of progress and crili. tuition rather than of human misery and slaughter.

This was adopted in consequence of some discussion taking plane on the previous day with respect to the preese words which were taken down.

The regimental order for close arrest was read, aid is it Colonel Crawley stated that Sergeant-Maj or Linn should sot be let out of sight of the sentry night or day, the only exception being when be went to the water closet. It was necessary that the sentry should be posted inside the bungalow to carry out that order. He, as adjo tent, visited the many after that mdse, and he came to him at the hack-door, but witness did not go into the room, because be knew that Mrs. Lilley was rick. Colonel Crawley called for the evidence given by the witness in his enuniastion in chief with a view of pointing one some discrepancies.

Among those who compmead the deputation were the follow log : Visoount Chelsea, Mr. W. 15te, ILP., the Rev. A. G. W. Blunt, 8.A., rector of Chelsea; the Rev. R. Berme, 8.D., rector of Upper Chelsea ; the Rev. W. Nivea, 8.D., intim. bent of St. Saviours, Upper Chelsea ; the Rev. W. Scott Moncrieff, Incumbent of St. Simon's, Upper Chelsea ; the Hoe.

Shuckburgb ; members of the vestry. Mr. Charles Law, vestry clerk. The vestry, in the statement of their views, contained In a circular detailing the object of the deputation, sa y that they are not unmindful of the necessity of barracks for the household troops Deer to the metropolis and the penon of tkeemereige, and they are aware that some metropolitan pariah must be selected for the site of them. " But," they add, "this parish has already au undue propel:ion of this clam of bundiogs. In it are situated the recently erected foot banacka near Cl eleea-bridgc 'trying alargearet aod at present °attributing nothing toward, the parochial Wee, the Royal Harpies! occupying more than sixty-sir scree, sod the Royal Military Asylum ocoopyieg nine Gam. Objection to the existence of a military barrack in the midst of a deem and crowded population are apparent, b a t in this case the spot chosen appears to have per. Seen disadvantages of its own for such a parpces. To the north and east the adjacent houses are of a high edam, sad the land adjoins the Pavilion Mats, upon which It is istended to build a goad elms of ratemayiag property, in inejunotion with the formatim of the much needed diteet line of communication from Belgravia to South Kensiogan, Womb the two proper Lies. If the barrack be there placed, the building plea and street will probably be abandooed, and the whole character of the neighbourhood must greatly seer.

It remains to say that the vestry think a more desirable locality for the proposed barrack would be fond ow the Barmy sided the Claims Basun. iskea-teidre. This site would oombioe in a remarkable degree all the desiderata of such a building, viz., cline pro: ucity to the Queen's Palace, to • relway communicating with all parte of the kiegdoen, and to • fine park and unfrequented toads fee hone exareks." After raring the above circular Mr The laid before Eel de Grey plans showing the petition of the boOdiog" in the vkiaity of the grouad in relation to the cootemplated barrack. Eight or ten peeve ago. he observed, a great many improvements were made In the pariah of Chelsea, and oa the authority of an act of parliament obtained for the purpose, and, with the support of the late Bebop of London, the parish being at that time very poor. Them improvemeets included the formation of a good road which the barrack would cut, sad the buildings In this road sad the vieieity would, it was believed, be greatly depreciated if the intentioes of the War-office were carried oat. After some remarks from the Bev. R. Burgess, the Her. W. Niveo, the Hoy. F. Oedema, Mr. R. 0. Siesesoods sad Mr. Freak*, in support of the object of the deputation, some of whom dwelt stroegly os the certain depreciation of the houses if a betroth should be erected, Earl Dn GUT and RIPON remarked that whatever lam. 'by might have been chosen for a new barrack in the metre. polls o►jections would have been raised by the inhabitants of the district. The barrack at Knightsbridge being very bad, successive Becreterift of flltte for War bad endeavoured to obtain • suitable site for • new one, which would pro. vide adequately for the health sod the comfort of the soldier ; and, on the whole, the site in question was the beet that could be found. The question of a contribution in aid of the rates Might be astaidered by the Treu•ry ; but he felt booed to provide suitable barracks for the household troops. Re would, however, give the objection raised his best consideration. In reply to a suggestion from the Rev. R. Berger that s suitable barrack might be erected on the opposite sale d the river, Ms LORDSHIP Mid the the tact that the barrack would `.l that ease be separated from the royal palaces, the Howes of Parliament, and other public buildings, was a fatal military objection to any scheme of that kind. The deputation then withdrew. RETURN 07 Ms. WILLIAM CRAFT TO AYZICA.

He then proceeds to eaurnerate the evils which he considered bare re duced the Irish peasantry to a state of hopelem misery in their own country high rents, evictions, the turning of arable land into pastures, and above all the "hideous evil" of the established church. The letter concludes :—" It is in vain, thee, that laudlorda, now chsoging their tone. be seech their tenantry to stay ; it is in vain that the oboe quioue scribes of a government which so long treated them with cruelty implore of them not to go. Their resolve, however to be regretted, appears determined, as long sh their just claims are so mercilessly unheeded.
