Ti ► Ent interest us all in the resist state of the manufacturing altbieM is in eimerwimg, has sympathising spirit, bow the hungering werltpeepis and their embarrassed employees are getting through the unexpected hardships of the time. The nerd intont is in witneesiag the clear ecidence that the hardship is least pressing where the employes and employed andenteed one mother's ems, se veil as . their owe, sad meet their cones on !octane it the beet spirit In Leon el'', union the operatives We, had frequent bitter experishee of hard reasons, and lon learned so ne good lemons from them, affairs are brightening already. Ms out spoken, honest Lancashire men have certainly, to a great extent, appreciated the difficulties of the bill ow oen amidst the prevalent sosreity et unary, re striction of credit, and depreciation at inorelbstnred stocks. Many of them Intro swam that. Est a year post, sofas of the richest men is Emir community haw* experienced great dilieulty in obtaining namely to pay their way with ; so that it is a common saying that nobody at Manchester is the batter for Ile Exhibition, except the inn and lodging-house karma, lb. milliners themselves briog no exception, eft amount of the impossibility of getting their bill paid. A financial trims, happening in the midst of inch a state of thinp, mast necessarily plunge the euployers in such difficulties that they had no possible mesas of paying the fall wagea of happier times; sod their rasa were elser-sighted enough to understand this, and te yield be the necessity without fancying it a eased eppree aim, The employing close, again, seem to have awe whatever could be done by consideration and Sank kindness to lessen the suffering of the anent played and both classes have their reward already in the prospect of better times. The lists of the mills in the most prosperous ports of I.4lloolalin show Isrge proportion that are now manta" fall time, and kw that are stopped altogether, while of these rue ningshort time remise ramming full work fremwesk to week. If it had bet been the established habitat the operative class, as it is that of the daises show them, to provide for bad times ea for a part of every men's lot, there would have been no doubt about their ability to weather this squall. They may see that where any number of them selves have, like the overlookers of the Preston fsetories, established a fund on a sound basis, for aid in bed times, the members get through without the losses and trouble of mind which attend a reduction to pauperism. With the hope sod belief that the worst is already over in the districts of the ootton manufacture, we congratulate the sufferers on their exemption from the strifes and discontents which cruelly aggravate seasons of trial; and we con fidently trust that growing experience will cause a more effectual preparation to be made, during pros perous times, for such changes as every branch of industry mast always be li►ble to. If the employers were in the habit of spending all they bad and all they got, there would be no resource whatever for their people in critical season.; end while the working clears spend all they have and all they get, there will be nothing between them and starvation in bed times but the charity of men wiser than them selves. It is a great comfort to perceive that this is NO far understood as that a considerable amount of saving has enabled the superior members of the clam to get through, on this occasion, without degradation; and the spectacle is so striking a one, and so gratifying, that every interval of prosperity will, we trust, be used by more and more as a preparation for future adversity. It is a melancholy sight, after this, to see any con siderable number of operatives so ignorant as to let as if it was in the ensployers' choice what to pay their people. We fear &treat is not the only place when those who ought to know better are refusing short time and reduced wager, when the real choice is be tween shoot time and no work at all. The case of the sewed-muslin workers and muslin weavers in Ireland is not nearly so hard as that of the cotton and woollen operatives in England, because the women, who for the moat part do the /*wed-muslin work and much of the weaving, are generally in a family where the men have another sort of employment. For a loos time after the Irish famine and fever, the maintenance of the working climes in that country depended on the women to an unparalleled degree. Before capital bad flowed in, and the land was taken in hand by competent wee, tensof thouvandsof labourers were idle, or earning sixpence or less per day, while the women were the chief breadwinners, in the manufactories distrieta, and by m a ki ng l ane , sewing muslin., knitting, and doing both fine works and Geld labour; but there hes loss been an end of that; sad any may win really wishes to work has for years been able to earn better wages than were ever known in Ireland before. There may be sera reduction in agricultural wages just now, thr the prices of agricultural produce Intro fallen sawsliaw ably ; but this, again, is in favour of the log population. Yet it appears that,• ibea cheapness of provisions renders the radisedl wog's" in Belfast fully aqua to wing they were ajtin best times at ski, time so a good masynnearets and others who refses rash redaction, and 'wilt boon. sentiently throws dot of work in mid-winter, mhos they think bribe of it. We hope they will think better of it ; for their neighbours will sot syropathle with them under mifferier so perversely incurred. Bread is down one-fourth, and pork more still and other articles in proportion; so that reduced wages might carry them tt rough bett. r than they ever got thrust& the old winters. Nothing but extreme ignorance THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1867. can account for their preferring no pay to wages ; for otherwise they would he aware that employers in Belfast must be suffering, hie all other manufacturers, from the state of the commercial \weld ; and that they have really no option as to the wages they pay. Far worse is the ease of the Welsh colliers and iremmen in the Aberdare mineral district. Not only are the men on strike there, without a shadow of exams, but they are tyrannising over men of another malt, the engineers, so as to stop the pumps, and destroy all chance of the works being resumed for a king time to come. The case is plainly this. The ova now out on strike have been earning (such of them as are good workmen) from 28e. to 30s. per week. If they had paid their way when thus receiving en income which many a poor clergyman, clerk, or retired officer would be glad of, they might now be able to live in comfort on the wages offered,—that is, at a reduction of from 10 to 15 per cent. at the collieries, and 20 per ant. at the ironworks. But they did not pay their way when prosperous. On the contrary, they are la debt to the shops ; and one shopkeeper in Aber dare says that his customers paid nothing during the whole month of November. In this position—while In debt to the shops on the one hand and stopping the works on the other, what are these fellows doing ? They meet, and pass three resolutions i which most intercept the sympathy of every man . who hears of their came. They resolve, lint, not to swept reduced wages; secondly, not to allow the engineers to work at the clearing and ventilation of the pits; and thirDy, not to pay the shopkeepers and tradesmen for provisions obtained during November. They go further still. While the water is flooding the works, and the engi neers are kept idle under intimidation, these ruffians are threatening the tradesmen with violence if provisions are not supplied to them as usual. They do sot explain how they expect the shopkeepers to supply goods without money to buy them with, or employers to pay wages when their storks will not Nihon the one hand, and their worts gias te Thin, on the other. It is needless to sped Ewa INA on such a case. We all know too well whet beppas when the law and the military hays to be masa in to repress such tyranny, and when a amnia ruin overtakes the works, the workmen, thisbadeemen, and the order and com fort of the emeanity. In some pits work cannot, at best, be resumed for months ; in several iron works the furnaces are blown out, the forges which are not yet stopped being dependent on coal pro cured from other quarters. At Merthyr, we are glad to sea the colliers have resolved to accept, for the present, wages at a reduction of 20 per cent, ; but over a very wide area the insane perversity of the coal and iron workers has not only stopped in dustry, but destroyed its very conditions. It is in structive to us all, from the humblest to the wised, to observe the contrast between such a ease and these of Lancashire and Nottingham, and all ether places where the nature of the present difficulty is understood, so that all the suffering parties can sup port one another, thus !educing the suffering at the moment, and being ready to make use at once of the better times which are apparently near at band.

The Courrier de Paris of this evening has an aril- I cle replete with good sense, and of such moderate dimensions, that I think it possible to give a fair idea of it, with all due regard for my time (for post), and your space. Replying to the objection of ► London journal that there can be no such thing as a constitutional opposition without ministerial re sponsibility, it asks this question : What would have happened, if at the general 'leaks* Is June last the conatitnency had returned a majority deter mined to support the empire, but oleo resolved to ask for the promiecd liberty ? Can it be 'apposed that the Emperor would not have taken such a maudestatice of _ _ - _ public opinion into Ma moat merlons consideration ? Could he have Seen in it any gawk 'gaunt his person or politics such Si would have induced him to exorcise the power rr - _ served by Art. 46 of the Constitution, which enables Win to dissolve the house and convoke a new one—still elected by universal suffrage—within sin months? Our conviction is that he would on the contrary have hastened to c.hoooti his ministers from among this elect of France. All his spseanst tend to eupport this conviction. In none of them do we end any systematic opposition either to ideas of prowess or men of progreri.—(Here 6,110 w several citations from the Emperor's speeches.) In England there is no such thing ea sztra-constitutional opposition. Whigs, noise, radicals, and chartists ell mega the reigning dynasty. In Prance there in no other then sa extra-oonstitutional opposition, that . _ whip taldng so account of universal euffrege, neither re cogniseethe resent constitution nor the Imperial dynasty. This opposition h condemned to 'deuce, but although mute it does not the lees exiM. The Emperor la thus plead bo• billU sworn monks who approve of nothing that be does, and fascinated friends who approve of everything. Between these two is there not room for a party in the intonate of both the empire and liberty, etapporting each by the other? If there be a place for such a party, what better name oen be given to it than constitutional opposition t We athrolt this question to ell candid people, whom we take for judges between the attempt made by the Cowrie, de Paris and the mistimes which it meets with from the journals which are thwarted by this tlfort. The electors of the 3rd circumscription of the department of the Meuse are convoked for the 3rd January next to elect a deputy to the Legislative Body, in the room of the Count de Efigur, resigned. Is Coast Skgur's case the illegal proceedings of the pmeament agents were es scandalous and flagrant that It was deemed absolutely necessary to hush up the matter by ordering the honourable member to resign. By this mansuvre the very moderate publicity which would have followed the presentation to the Corps Legislatif of the report of the committee upon his election wee avoided. M. °Hitter, one of the democratic members for Paris, attempted to bring the circumstances before the house on the occasion of the question being pat whether Count BEgur's resignation should be accepted, but Count de Mom' shut him up in right imperial style, and after several ineffectual efforts, this gentleman, who is the only orator of the five members who form the "constitutional opposition" sat down protest ing against the violence done to him. There is a general strike of the members of the bar of VOlKetki, arising out of an altercation between an advocate named Parrot and the Procureur Impe- rial of the court. The presiding judge interfered, and ordered M.Parrot not torepeat emnething which he had said, in such terms as seemed to the latter in compatible with the respect due to his profession. Ile therefore at once left the court, and submitted the circumstances to M. Noirot, the leader of the bar of the town. The council of the order held a meet ing to consider the cue, and passed a resolution that no advocate of Vesoul should appear before the Maize Court of the Haute Saone until sa tisfaction was given for the affront to M. Parrot. This resolution has been acted upon, and now M. Noirot and his brother councillors of the order are semmoned to appear on Saturday next betore the Imperial Court of Besancon, to answer a charge preferred against them under an article of a decree of Dec. 14, 1810, which is thus worded :—" If all or any of the advocates practising in any mart shall coalesce together, under any pretext whatever, for the purpeee of declaring that they will not plead, the advocates so acting shall be struck off the rolls of the bar, and shall be incapable of being restored." The affair mates immense excitement at Vessel and Besancon. _ . . . The Emperor and the Empress went to the OpEra Comique yesterday evening, to witness the first re presentation of the Camara, de Veniee. The following telegram has been received this afternoon :—" Trieste, Dec. 10.—According to Con stantinople letters of the sth, Lord de Rrdcliffe was to leave for England on the 12th. The Governor of Asterabad had beaten a corps of Turoomans, and wu about to march to relieve lingeinurd. General Kalergis will probably represent Greece at Paris. King Otho has received M. Lamps with much ceremony." The Bourse has been heavy and inanimate, but without any great fall. The Rente fell lbe. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 66fr. and 86fr. 13c. Mobilier was a little better, and rose lfr. 13e. The Lyons railway fell 10fr., sad the other line 3fr. or 41r., but there was a great demand for railway debentures, as it was known that the directors of the railway companies had yesterday signed their treaty with the Bank of France, and that it was to be submitted to the signature of the Bank to-day.

CLOSE OF THE POLL AT PAISLEY. PAISLEY, TIVIIIDAY Evnitxo. Cram Ewbag 767 Hay - MAjority for Ewing EAST KENT ELECTION. The election of a member to supply the vacancy in the representation of the eastern division of the county of Kent, occasioned by the resignation of Sir E.

He was no party man, but would give every measure that was ash's most candid considenlion ; and the fact that he on former cousins been oared en appointment in connexion with the House of Common by Lord Palmerston showed that he was looked qua NI an independent member. The Mon' SatiaiU, se ether candidate Whig proposed, declared W. Dudes, Esq., duly sleeted. Sir. Dents, who was received with load them,, then spoke, and after sores remarks of a personal eilareetsr, said he accepted this election as apr that the minority of the elector. of East Kest were AM in favour of the principles of conservatism. He had, however, supported Lord Palmer stosis meseares, contrary to the feeling of his party, beams he thought th em for the benefit of the country. litehnsas had been made to the offer of a salaried appointment hung been made to him by Lord Pelmerston. That offer was undouUedly made ; and it he had accepted It, his independence would not have been compromised in the slightest possible degree. The offer of the chairmanship of Ways end Mesas wee seeds to him shortly after the 'on of Lied Dirks, end whim Lord Pelmerston had accepted office, while the Ea en war won going on.

Yesterday morning at an early hoar, a shocking murder and suicide took place, at Thorntontheath, about • mile distant from the town of Croydon. For some years past Mrs. Mary Smithies, a lady of some property, and bee two eous—one WlSlam Belton Smithery, aged 88, and the other Charles Smithery, aged ift— ocer ,- pied the holes No. 49, Moreton-heath ; and the family were remarkable for the love and affection which seemed to subset among them. William Helton, the elder son, has been a clerk in the Bank of England, from which establishment he received a salary of 2001. per annum, and Charlie has been engaged in the factory of Mr. Bennett, engineer, at Deptford, preparatory to entering the Bank. William bas been remarkable for his 'Medlars and general deportment until very recently, when • total change came over him. For some days preceding the tragedy in which he was the principal actor, he was known to drink a bottle of heady. This change, it is sesumed, bas been cordoned by his becoming • speculator and by the &lack which Weeded him. Oa one time-bar pin alone he le mid to have lest as mach as 704., end this awn he borrowed from • friend in the beginning of the week to pay over to his stockbroker. From some papers secured, It appears that megnosenta were peeparsd for the disposal of some life policies, and • bill for 6004: for acceptance from a gentleman In the City, was ansonget . thent. It had been his (Williams) custom to sleep dowestairs, bat for scene meets other he for some nightspreordegthe tusforemide recurrence slept with his brother the first floor. The was ob jected to by his moth", who insisted on his resting in his bed, and last sight the unfortunate lady called out to her younger eon, and asked "It William bed gone to his own room ?" The same, though not true, was in the affirmative. Nothing, however occurred on that night to excite suspicion or alarm. The mother and brother went to bed es usual, and on the following morning about ems o'clock, the servant, Eliza Morgan, wee swots, as she thought, by a soles in her mistress's room, and she at once got up and commenced her domestic work. In stout a quarrter of an hour afterwards she heard • knocking at the bedroom of Mr. Charlie, and on going there Mr. William asked her for a wine glam, which she took to him, and returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Having waited somewhat beyond the usual time at which the family came to breakfast, the went to the bedroom of Charles, and listened for • moment or so, and hearing no noise she pushed the door open, and the first thing which caught her view was the countenance of her young master, with • quantity of coloured foam about the mouth sad nostrile. She at once ran to the hones next door for maideace sad re turned with the servant maid. Both entered the bedroom, where they found the brothers wholly helpless, and • phial and a wine glass on the foot of the bed. The ant mei...mates of the servant was that she was sere the shock would kill her • mistress, and she hesitated for • few momenta as to how she should brisk it out to her. After a short Interval, however, she summoned resolution and proceeded to her mistress's bed; , room on the same flour, and on entering it she, shocking to no ' Isla, found the unfortunate lady numbered aancept the dead also. She lay on the bed with her head resffn on her right band, the bed perfectly unruffled, and it was e vi dent that the potent sad deadly poison bed an instantaneous effect, and • that she died without • struggle. Though no assistance • could have born of the alighteat avail, medical aid was sought, but it was quite an hour before it could be procured, and at the end of that time, Mr. Bouourley, of Croydon, made his appearance, and pronounced all three dead. Inspector Alexander Fraser, of the I' division of police, 1 stationed at Croydon was soon on the spot, and took cheep of the hones and the property, and on learning that Mr. Bottomley had taken away a letter written by the deceased, and also the phial which had contained the prussic acid, , he apnoea some astoeiehmint and disedieseumi, whoa lady as he had sot bean able to ascertain whether the label on the bottle bore the name of any chemist. It ap t pears that Mrs. Smithery had been ailing for some days, sad ' 1 6 that her son William bed been in the habit of giving her the r medicine prescribed, and by tale means had been enabled to • give her the fatal doss, which mast, in • moment, have terminated her existence. It is the opinion of those who had sem him that the fatal drug mast have been poured into the mouth of the youth r Charles while he lay on his back, and that the redden shock t W the circulation had mead the foam about the mouth sad nostril'. It is also believed that the quantity of prussic acid ) taken by the unfortunate murderer himself was so great that his death was momentary. r Information of the noes trag haa been forwarded to Mr. Curter, the °caveat, but ee Is yet mentioned for the boils( el the Inquest TAB CASE OP lINIUMANITY TO A WINCH GOVIRIll&T. (From the Boulogne Garette.) On Saturday evening people were much moved on the snivel o(the Folkestone boat, as one of the lady par singers, very intmesting in appearance, and apparently • about twenty, wan ypeechiess and unable to move. as carried on shone and taken to the Hotel de Parte. Dr. Scott WOO moon on the spot, and declared that he considered hoe dying, and requested further advice. The two doctore com suited together anti preeenbed what they wandered necee eery le be done. But the young lady continued apparently senseless; certainly she spoke not, end gradually sank, ex piring on Sunday night. But now come the remarkable feats of what, without =explanation, seems atrocious cruelty. On =deeming her, a large label wee found fastened on her bosom, ea If she were a tele of merchandise, stating that she was going to her brother-in-law, Mr. in sheet at Anima. in her purse was found a paper, stating that her Wary, (she memo to have been a governess at Mrs. C—'•,) was paid up to the 6th of December, and that her purse contained 7i., which was sewed in her gown ow her bosom. From this, enquiries were made as to who put bar on board the boat, the answer wee that she arrived at Folke stone by the; express four o'clock train, was then speec,hket and helpless, but drank some tea and was carried on bond the boat, only • few minutes before it sailed, by • policemen nadir the direction of the station water at Folkestone. She was placed in the ladies' cabin, received every attention, but neither spoke nor stirred during the peerage. The queetioa now mime, was she in this helpless state when put into the train at London-bridge ? Who put her ? Who paid he fare ? But we mud ask the question, what brute, in humeri ahem, could send that interesting looking female in her help lees conditkra from London to Amiss. without a fined or compaaion to look after her or attend upon her? It appears that Men C—, in whose lemma she taught, has two &ugh- Ms mad a son, sheaved then to have a mother's feelings, en d if she had the heart to send the creature from bar door and pat her salary into her uneouseions hand, she knew that, at least, there was sufficient messy to pay the travelling swum of two to Amiens, and eta might have engaged a nurse to attend her at least to 801 where they might have waited the arrival of her eiptenr= Amiens. In the absence of facts theme are the natant re. Satiate of every humane mind. It seems that some one at the London station gave the guard a sovereign to pay fur my refreshment she might require en route. The whole affair mews one of the most heartless that we have heard of since that of Mr. Sloane. We should net omit to able that so win as the placa rd or direction on hie breast wee found, a telegraphicdispatch was sett to Amine and an answer unmedistely moved that the rioter sal brother would leave by the first train : they arrived en BOY day, but she was too far gone to tempters them We have received the following account front a enrages. dna.
