A letter was received yesterday by a mercantile house in the City, from Dover, written by a gentleman who has jolt returned from Greece. The intelligence he commu nicates is thelatest from that country, and may be relied upon as authentic. It appears that the campaign, which was to bare extirpated the whole race of Greeks, and de sttoyed their very name, has ended like all these that have peec24el it since the commencement of this contest, without any decisive or material result to either party. In one nspect, however, the present year may be considered to be closing more unfavourably to the patrlota than the:last : a strung Lody of thtir enemies remain encamped in the • Mures. The insurrection in Candi& may, perhar, he re ginhed as a ercumstance of equal importance in the other wale. Certain it is that if the inhabitants of Candia should succeed in throwing off the Turkish yoke, more will have bean accomplished towards the establishment of Oftek independence than ilnt•Ntid Paella can possibly • do to prevent it with all the force of Egypt employed in • 'subjugating the Peloponnesus. The following town extract of the letter to which we are referring:— " On my departure from CeplutislOw.mn the Iflth September, the campaign in Orme seemeckesidig to a close; hostilities had owned north of the Isthtnue ; ltedsehid Paella, had withdrawn his troops Isom lifisbeitingbi, and mmmenced retiring in the direction of Aruieuliihe appearance of the rains, 03 the 9th and Web September. Ibrahim Pasha wee remaining quietly at ltialameta with his troops, whither he bad retreated from Tripoli's, on me revrernecr of the Turkish meet irons blistolosghi in August. • grAh The plague bad entirely ceased, however, at Mode°, and it was expiated that he would again fix his head quarters at that place. ♦t Napoli di Romania, faction was quiet; all were looking anxiously towards England for aid or interference ; in fact, hostilities seem every where to have ceased for the season by land I and sea. No accounts had arrived from the meet which had tailed to mako another attempt to intercept the Egyptian squadron ex peeled from Alexandria." By a paragraph in another column, our readers will see an account of the sentences passed on the ringleaders of the tamt_ltuous distutbsnces in August last, on the River Wear, in the harbour of Sunderland. Two were convicted by the verdict of a Jury, after a trial of some length. Five others acknowledged their guilt, and threw themselves on the mercy of the Court. They were sentenced to be im prisoned anti kept at hard labour in the House of Correc tion; three for eight months, three for six months, and one for four months, according to the respective character of their offences. We trust, that these severe, but well-de served punishments, will prevent the recurrence of any similar scenes of turbulence and slot. Doctrines of the most mischievous tendency have lately been instilled into the minds of the labouring classes. They have been taught to look upon the rich as their natural enemies and oppressors. While these feelings are rankling in their breasts, it is absolutely necessary to assert the supremacy of the law, and crush with firmness and promptitude every manifestation of the spirit that instigates is revolt and outrage. The deeply-affecting account we this day publish of the fatal accident, by which the Comet steam-packet was sunk on Friday last, near Gourodr, will be read by every one with the most painful interest. The Comet, with passen gers from In veentse and Fort William, was passing Kem pock Point, in the Clyde, on her way to Glasgow, when she sud denly came in bontact with another steam-vessel coming in the opposite direction, and almost instantly sunk. The num ber of individuals that have perished is not known exactly, but there is every reason to apprehend that the lives lout on this melancholy amnion are not fewer than sixty, men, women, and children! Many of them belonged to the higher ranks of society- The catastrophe occurred about three o'clock in the morning. As the night had been cold, ■nd the accommodations below were insufficient for the rest number of passengers on board, some of theta were dancing on the deck at the moment previous to that in which they were precipitated into eternity. There was, it is stated, moonlight enough at the time of the accident to distinguish objects within the ordinary range of view; and it is therefore conjectured that the meeting of the two vessels arose from their both rounding the neck of land at the same instant, so that they struck each other before either bad time to avoid the dreadful shock. In addition to the information we have obtained front the Glasgow and Greenock Papers, we have received a hastily written letter, of which t h ♦ following is an extract : " GLASGOW, OCT. 21, 1825. " The Comet steam-boat, from Inverness, was run down by the Ayr steans-vessel, and of 70 passengers only ten saved. Among the passengers in the Comet were, Lord Macooxat.D, Mr. Dowrinn, of Appin, Mrs. G caul., of Legato, &c. This melan choly event took place below Greenock, at three o'clock this morn. log. The Ayr had lights at the poop ; the Comet had none." . . We most earnestly hope that our correspondent may be mistaken at to the persons he names as being among the sufferers; but from the quarter from which w•e received the inrormation, we fear it is too correct. Mr. DOWNIE is the member for 3tirling, and usually returns to Edinburgh with his family at this period of the year from his seat at Appin. It is at this time that many of the northern pro prietors leave their Highland estates for the winter season, and that circumstance will account for the fact thatso many of the passengers were persons of wealth and distinction. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Some important transactions took place in Console in the course of the day, and in the early part of it the. Market manifested a good deal of briskness. The price at the commencement of the day was 87N, and afterwards j 88; but it subsequently drooped, and closed at I, buyer,. The principal cause of this declinJ was stated to be the unex pected failure of the very respectable house of SAMUEL Esq. in the American trade, whose operations were on a most extensive scale. The Foreign Market con tinues languid, and the prices varied only in a trifling de gree from Saturday. In Mexican Scrip there was some jobbing at 8 dis., buyers. Greek Bonds were 294, and Ohl Spanish ditto 17if. There was again no business worthy of notice doing in Shares; but if the salutary clearance of a great many worthless Companies should be effected, as we suggested in our article of this morning, we think there is every proba bility when this market is in a sound condition, of seeing the quotations in it much higher. Letters from Naples, dated the 6th instant, mention that the King's birth-day had been celebrated with great rejoicings in that capital : but some disappointment was subsequently occasioned by the nonappearance of the se cond decree of amnesty which a few months ago was, in a semi-official manner, announced to be in contemplation. It is, however, understood, that the Minister of Grace and justice is occupied with the preparation of this anxiously desired document. The Paris Papers state that Sir Hudson Lowe is living privately in the neighbourhood of Versailles. An attempt is making by some of the journals to excite the feelings of the multitude against him for having been Governor of St. Helena during the detention of Bonaparte. SPANISH JUlTlCE.—Justice every day assumes more expeditious forms in Spain. The decrees issued at the time of Bessieres's revolt ordered that the rebels should be executed immediately they were taken. General Espana's obedience to his Sovereign's orders has not let the chiefs that have been taken languish, for the saying, " taken and shot" had been fulfilled to the letter. Whilst things were in r! , is hopeful state, the operation of there specious decrees has been extended to the Guerillas assembled in Valencia, under the orders of El Gato. But even this mode appearing too slow, they have now gone farther ; a price has been set on their heads. " Every inhabitant," says the Valencia Journal, of 24th of last month, " is at liberty to kill them wherever he may meet them, without incurring any punish ment." There is only another step to advance, and:that is to train dogs, as the old Spaniards did in the New World, to go men-hunting.—Courier Francais. Letters from the frontiers of Italy say that the maritime preparations at Alexandria and Constantinople have greatly relaxed, as the Porte cannot obtain sailors. They add, that the arrival of Mr. Stratford Canning will give great satiafaction to the Turks, who have abandoned the idea of taking any measures against the English commerce. The Emperor Alexander had arrived at Doragobusk on the 17th September, and proceed to Taganrock. It is stated in the city,, but we hope incorrectly, that a large steam-boat, which was sometime ago offs:red to the Greek Deputies, had arrived at Alexandria, having been purchased by the Pacha of Egypt, to act against the Greek fleet. A letter from New York states, that the Mexican Go vernment have detected an extensive censpiracy, at the head of which were some priests, for proclaiming Don Carlos of Spain Emperor of Mexico. Several of the chiefs in the affair had, it is saWl, been sent under escort to the city of Mexico. A Mexican Agent passed through Bruges on the 16th, on his Way to Rome, on a mission from the Mexican Go vernment to the Pope, relative to the ecclesiastical affairs of that state. ma C 7'REATT COLOBf• The Guatamela paper, (Jacek de! Gobierite, of July 22, contains a treaty eor.cluded between the Republic of Co lombia and "the united provinces of Central America," more commonly known as the State of Guatemala. The treaty is one of federation. The contracting parties mu tually guarantee to each other the integrity of their re spective territories against Spain, and promise each other assistance in case of invasion. They have also introduced a provision for the General Assembly of Ilslegates of the new American States at the Isthmus of Panama, to which is added the following article : la. This convention shall not in any manner interfere with the eternise of the national sovereignty of either of the contracting parties, whether as regards its internal government or Its relations with foreign Powers. Nevertheleu, they expressly and irrevocably bind themselves not to accede to any demand., for indemnity which may be set up by Spain, or any other nation on her behalf, for the loss of her former supremacy over these countries ; neither to enter Into any treaty with Spain, or any other natior, to the prejudice of their independence, but to sustain on all occasions, and In all places, their mutual :ntereats, with the dignity and energy of free, inde pendent, friendly, fraternal, sad confederated nations. It is stated in a letter from Paris, that an eminent capi talist has offered to raise a loan for the King of Spain, to the amount of twenty millions sterling, on condition that sixteen millions of it should go to the French Government, on account of the debt due from Spain. Nothing wee said of the loans of the Cortes, but the proposal was in stantly rejected, owing to the largeness of the amount re quited for France. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Friday :—" There is a little more activity on our Stock Exchange, and hopes are entertained that the depression will not last much longei ; indeed, considering the abundance of money here, the dulness is surprising. Mr. Fluskisson's reception by the King , and the very friendly footing on which he ap pears to be with the Ministers, inspire much confidence, and many of out liberal and most eminent merchants con sider that a treaty of commerce with England is certain. The Ilaytian Loan will be bid for publicly on the Rfith, all the efforts of the Commissioners and the French Go vernment to obtain the terms which they asked having failed. I understand they require 100 for a six per cent. loan, or 76 for a four per cent. Lafitte snd Rothschild, finding the terms an exotbitant, declined the honour which was offered them. There is an Englishman here who in tends to bid: lie is said to be the agent of a member of the London Stock Exchange." The Brazilian frigate Princess Royal is daily expected to arrive at Portsmouth, from Rio Janeito, for the purpose, it is said, of accompanying the Piranga, on her return to the Brazils, the latter having only 45 Portuguese seamen on board. The Piranga is become in a totally disor ganised state, in consequence of the refractory conduct of her crew.—Deronpor4 Telegraph. We stated yesterday that the American frigate Brandy wine had sailed from Cowes, to join the squadron in the Mediterranean. A Trieste journal of the 9th instant no. tices __ a rumour having for some time been prevalent a negotiation with the Greek Government, for the _n of l'aro, an island near Hydra, to America. This would be a direct declaration in favour of the Greeks. We have received Quebec Papers to the 23d ult. They contain s flattering address of the inhabitants of the dis trict of Montreal to his Excellency the Lieutenant-Gover nor, Sir F. N. Burton, on his proposed departure for England. They also contain an Address from the Magis strates and Inhabitants of Quebec to the Earl of Dalhousie. The following Answer was returned by his Lordship:— " Gentlemen,—l beg you to accept my grateful thanks for this nddress upon my return amongst you. Be assured that in resuming the Government which his Majesty has been pleased to intrust to me, it is my anxious de , ire to promote the welfare and happiness of all classes of the people in this province ; and that nothing can gra. tify me more than to Sod my endeavoets supported by the Magi. strata and respectable Inhabitants of this City. DALHOUSIE." Sir James Smith and Sir George Hoste. the Officers of Engineers who were despatched on a military survey to Canada, have returned, and from the nature of their report to the Ordnance Office, it is generally understood that an I increased number of Artillery Officers will be necessary for the occupation of that colony. An augmentation of that distinguished corps may therefore be looked for. SINGULAR DLPR•VITY OF TASTE.—The last Number of the Gazelle of Health contains a remarkable instance of` depravity of taste, communicated to M. Bertholet, a phy sician residing at St. Amand :—" A man has been arrested and imprisoned at Saint-Amand (Cher), whose favourite food consisted of the most filthy animal substances, and even the remains of corpses. He has more than once got into the churchyard, where, by means of proper instru ments, he dug up recently-interred bodies, and greedily ate the intestines, which are the parts that hest please his taste. He never touched any other part of the body. This man is about thirty years of age, without any thing re markable in his appearance that would point out his rul ing passion. He has been seen to follow the veterinary surgeons in their visits to horses, in order, if the dis ease of the animal required any flesh to be cut out, to cat the most livid and putrid he could possibly pick out. He has also been found in the streets seeking among the filth for any animal substances that may have been thrown away. What is most extraordinary is that his appetite is not at all excessive ; when it happens that he gets more than he can eat at the time, lie stuff's it into his pocket, and waits patiently till hie appetite returns. When questioned upon the cause of this depraved taste his an swers seemed to refer the commencement of it to his ear liest youth. He rankshis !food among the most savour things of nature, and cannot conceive how a taste which appears to him so good and natural can be blamed. He was arrested whilst in the act of devouring a body that had been buried on the same morning. He will be sent to some such a prison as the Bicetro, in order to be detained:— French Pa On Saturday last the William Galt brig, Capt. Lott, dewed out for Falrnontli and Port-au-Prince, having on board sundry implements, &c. for working the gold and silver mines granted by the President Boyer to the Haytien Company, and she will cell at Falmouth to take on board two captains of the mines, an assayer, and a gang of miners. Foar;eay.—lt is painful for us to state, that a crime of this serious nature has been committed by a young man of the name of Finlayson, belonging to the west of Perthshire. On Thursday se'nnight, lie presented, at the Stirling hank, a bill for SW., made payable at Dunblane. The acceptor's name being well known, and seeming to be genuine, no suspicions were entertained of its being a forgery. The bank, however, refused to cash the bill, from its being made payable at a place where the company had no agent, and might consequently .give them unnecessary trouble. On being told this, the Youngman expressed regret, adding that he was about to set off fur the West Indies, and delay would put him to considerable inconvenience. An attempt, however, to discount a bill under such circumstances, in stead of lulling suspicion, awakened it ; and his presenting in two days thereafter a new bill fur the same sum, made payable at Stirling, confirmed them in the opinion that all was not right. The result was, that a minute inspection of the signature soon satisfied the clerks that the document waa a forgery ; and having charged the wretched man with the offence, the at first denied it—but ultimately acknow ledged the truth of the charge, and his readiness to proceed to prison. There is too much reason to fear that this, like many other crimes of daily occurrence of a similar nature, has been hurried on by abandoned associates, and a lif. of dissipation ; for, he seemed to be indifferent as to the dan ger and disgrace which surrounded him, and. with a cal lousness which can only be accounted for by supposing reason to have lost her empire—he talked incoherently as to his fate—confessed that misery and desperation had led him to commit the crime; but that there w:s one conso lation remaining for him—that existence which had become so intolerable, and was so often about to be terminated by his own hands, would now be closed by those of another, With a degree of becoming humanity he was allowed to depart; but instead of acting the part of a sane person, by looking after his personal safety, he instantly went to a Magistrate, and from him to the Procurator Fiscal, to whom he confessed his offence, and insisted oh being com mitted. That gentleman having no alternative, the un happy man was accordingly duly apprehended and lodged in prison. We understand that the bill had previously been presented to the agent of the Stirling bank at Alloa. —Stirling l'uper. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Corporation of Drogheda lies presented an Address to the Lord Primate of Ireland (Lord John Beresford), to which the following reply was returned by his Grace : To the Mayor, Sheriffs, Burgesses, and Commons of the Town of Drogheda. GENTLEMEN, —The kind manner in which you speak of me in your Address, and the flattering alumina which you make to my family, demand my best acknowledgments. Called by the command of my Sovereign to the high office which I fill, in our national Church, it is my dury.to watch over her inte rests and to endeavour to pmmete her welfare ; but were 1 placed in a situation of less responsibility, venerating as do, the Aposto lie purity of her doctrines, admiring the beautiful simplicity of her worship, and glorying in the acknowledged moderation of her prin ciples, I should use my utmost efforts to upt,olil her bulwarks, and address my constant prayers to G.-d to do her good. I advert. Gentlemen, with pleasure, to the munificent piety which prompted your Citizens, at a former period, to erect, by private subscription the handsome church which is the ornament of your to w n ; a nd I , must beg to be permitted to express the gratification which I feel, that the same generous spirit animates you, evinced by the liberal endowment you have recently made for the establishment of a new Church. Filling an arduous and anxious situation, I prize the ap- probation of the wise and good ; but the applause of those whose example proves them so capable of appreciating kindred exertions, and whose liberal support of the Established Church so strongly marks the sincerity of their attachment, stamps a double value on their approving testimony, and is a cheering encouragement to per severance in so great and good a cause. I accept, with pleasure, the honour you prcpose. of enrolling my name amongst the number of the freemen of your ancient and loyal corporation. HAYMARKET THEATR,:". When we saw Mr. Vining on Saturday, we suspected he was a melodramatic actor—it turns out he is. His per formance of Rolla was not calculated to raise him in our esti mation. .Truth to say, it was a poor representation of a poor character. The tragedy was throughout cast and got up in a very inefficient manner, and we apprehend its tepeti tion will not be found calculated to promote the interests of the theatre. Mrs. Glover played the part of Elvira, for which she is not well qualified by nature or study. Her daWghter undertook that of Cora, and was somewhat more successful. Of the remaining perrorinera we prefer saying nothing, as we have nothing favourable to say. The house WAS a perfect desert. Mr. Secretary Canning, on Friday evening, returned hither, and, with four horses from tile Star Inn, proceeded for Seaford ; but on his way to that place near to RodneLd his carriage came in contact with the gig of Mr. Waite, a London traveller, by which accident both shafts of Mr. Waite's vehicle were broken, but without upsetting it, or inflicting any personal injury on Mr. Waite, who, on ar riving here, demanded of the postmaster the reparation of the gig ; but he, alleging that the fault did not rest with the driver, refuted complying. Mr. Waite then waited upon Mr. Canning at Seaford, whose conduct on the occa sion was most gentlemanly. Ile amply satisfied Mr. Waite for his journey from hence, and gave him a letter to the postmaster, width has probably settled the matter —Lewes Journal. Mr. Stratford Canning, Ambassador from his Majesty to the Ottoman Porte, arrived at Calais, on Friday,. on his way to Constantinople. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Last night a new ballet of action, called Philip Quart and his Monkey, was produced at this theatre. The piece has been well got up, and reflects some credit on the manager's taste. Mr. S. H. Chapman sustained the part of Qua?l, a character well suited to his pantomimic talents. Braufidelle, his favourite monkey, was represented by the German youth, about twelve years of age, who, considering that this was his first attempt on the stage, played his tricks with tolerable effect. Mr. Hartland performed Abdulhilt, the Moorish pirate, very cleverly. At the fall of the curtain the piece was an nounced for repetition with the general approbation of a crowded audience. The Drury-lane Management have been in treaty with Mr. Sapio, but that gentleman declines the terms they propose. A new Comedy is in preparation at Covent-garden, from the pen of Mr. Hyde, author of the tragedy of Al phonl./S. Miss Stephens has been equally successful at Edinburgh as at Manchester ; and Braham has been even more popular in Dublin during his present engagement than on any former occasion: This seems quite the age of song, especially in the provinces. Monsieur Mazurice is arrived in London from Paris, and will make his first appearance in this country in a few days at Covent-garden Theatre. The part of Pclichinel, which first made his reputation on the Continent, will be the character in which he will make his debut. D'Arboville, the celebrated French singer, who from a complaint in his throat (an enlargement of the tonsils), has absented himstif for the last three years from the boards, has, we understand, lately submitted to an operation which has been attended with complete success. His voice is en tirely restored, and he is said to be about to reassume his situation.

Cousr KY Hsu' s.—The stoppage of the Bank of Messrs. Harvey and Son, Launceston, in consequence of the severe run upon it, occasioned by the failure of the Kingabridge Bank, and that of Messrs. Shiell and Johns, Devonport, has not been productive of the severe distress which fol lowed the failures last mentioned. The confidence of the inhabitants of Launceston in the perfect solvency of Messrs. Harvey continues unabated, sad their notes are freely taken in payment by all the tradesmen of that place, under the full persuasion that the suspension of payment will be but temporary and of short duration. This, though a consider able relief to the farmers and others who held the notes of Messrs. Harvey, is by no means sctisfactory to persons who having taken alarm by the reports of the disastrous effects produced by the failure of Messrs. Shiell and Co. are in-. duced to purchase goods of which they do nct stand in need, in order to get hold of something tangible for the dis credited paper, and who are, in many eases, thereby sub jected to various inconveniences.—Wcst Briton.

Brocklebank, Whitehaven, have given a specimen of their gratitude. It is well known that Messrs. Brocklebank have always been most indulgent and liberal masters. They never acted upon the system of doing all their work with apprentices ; they paid their men ISs. per week, when many paid only 153. ; in slack times they constantly em ployed their hands, though to their own loss • and recently they yielded to a demand of their m en , and advanced their wages to 21s. per week. Of late, however, the combine. tion mania has got into the yard, and insolence and insub ordination have.sinee been the order of the day. Last week Mr. B. engaged a man recommended to him from Ilarring ton, and on Monday morning the new hand went to com mence work, but he was not one of the right sort ; the ap. prentices collected around him, and told him what he had to expect if he dared to violate the law of the yard, and the man was so intimidated that he determined upon look;ng on merely till one of the principals arrived ; but in the mean time he was seized by the apprentices, mounted upon a pole, and carrird from place to place, and finally through part of the town to a public-house, in triumph and de ii-ion. - - After this feat the precious apprentices returned to work, but they soon determined upon another freak. They picked out a man whoru they called a scab, not having exactly conformed to the " Union rules," and this man they also mounted on a pole, and were taking him through the town, when they were met by Mr. Brocklebrink, who ordered them to release their victim, and on refusing, Mr. B. pressed forward, and was either pulled or knocked down by one of his own apprentices ; his clothes were soiled, and his face was bloody ! He instantly went to his yard and discharged every shipwright employed in it, and has commencer! proper proceedings to bring the offenders to justice; on Thursday afternoon the yard remained com pletely shut up. On Friday morning the ship carpenters in the employ of Messrs. Kelsick, Wood, and Sone, Mary port, voluntarily left their work, because Messrs. Wood were so oppressively unreasonable as to refuse their servants the power of dictating the internal management of the yard ! Matters are thus coming to a pretty pass. But nothing else was to have been expected from the plans and principles promulgated by Mr. Hume. Every kind of trade lamentably suffers from the same cause, and it is now become evident that the strong ann of the Legisla ture can alone stem the tide of the growing crib—ear/frit Pat riot. RIOT OF SEAMEN AT SUNDEILAND.—At the Durham Michaelmas Sessions, on Wednesday last, Joseph Addy and George II udspeth were arraigned on an indictment, charging them with having, on the 3d of August last, riotously and tumultuously assembled, with several other persons en known, on the river Wear, in the harbour of Sunderland, and then and there in a boat aided and assisted in pre venting the ship Busy from proceeding to sea. The facts of this case, which were fully detailed at the time when it occurred, being proved in evidence, the Jury found a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The Court sentenced them, George Hudspeth to six. aed Joseph Addy to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. Mr. Green wood, on the part of John Hall, Turner Wilson, Joseph Howe, John Fenwick, and John Taylor, also charged with being engaged in the riot, and who had severally pleaded guilty, was heard in mitigation of punishment, and called witnesses, who gave them good characters; after which the I Court sentenced them—Wilson, Howe, and Hall, to eight, and Fenwick and Taylor to six months' imprisonment, and I to be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction, and to find security for their goad conduct for six months after ' wards.—Durham Paper. Re Liototis FANATICISM.—The people of Geneva have just h. en witnesses of an example of that gloomy delirium which religious fanaticism produces on weak minds, and the examples of which become so numerous as to excite the serious attention of the Government. A.young woman, in fatuated by the preaching of the Methodists, and whose imagination was filled with the superstitious tenors with which her spititual guiles bad filled her, under the pretext of operating her conversion, threw herself, in the night of the Sth, from a window in the fourth story, into the street, where she was found (lead on the pavement. 4- - This is the sixth known instance of suicide occasioned at Geneva by this species of insanity, since the introduction of Method ism. A much greater number of persons of both sexes might be mentioned, whose reason has been troubled by frequenting the religious assemblies, as they are called, of our " Momiers." It is to Madame de Krudener, and to the two Englishmen, Mr. Haldane and Mr. H. Drummond, that we are chiefly indebted for this scourge, which has been imported by strangers since the restoration, and 14 - 3 i formerly quite unknown in Geneva.—Th ussels Paper.

RAPID INCREASE OF CONGLETON.—During the last two years, 432 dwelling-houses have been erected, which are occupied by an increased population of upwsrds of 2,000 hdividuals. In the same period 13 mills for the ins nufacture of silk and one iron foundcry have been built : and with this inclose of population, regard has also hem had to the means of their religious instruction, in the erection of two new places of worship, one by the -1- dependent Methodists, and the other by the Rowan Catholics.
