LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOIME 96, IS2II. We received last night . the Elvile of the 231 instant, , from which we extract the following:— PARIS, OCT. 22. • A courier, who left Vienna on the night of the 161, arrived here yesterday, with the news that the Russian Ultimatum had been accepted at Ackerman on the 6th. The Russian Plenipotentiaries bad taken their departure on the 7th. front the Gazette (haver:elk. ) CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25. All the measures adopted by the Porte for this som: time pan um indicative of the acceptance of the ultimatum of Russia, sbough it is believed that that Power has as yet received no formal _ _ reviver front tin Divan. The English Ambsasador, Mr. Stratford Canning, has presented within these few days another Note to the Porte, with the clew of forwarding the negotiations relative to Greece. The last accounts from the Archipelago speak of two actions, in one of which the Turkish fleet, near Facile, end in the other a division of the Egyp. Ivan navy, since arriseti at Candia, had suffered great damage. SEPT. 26. Though the Porte bas not yet given an official reply with respect to the naltimatum, the acceptrtion of the demands of Russia are t • now papa doubt. It is generally bAieved that a Tartar despstehed on the 23d was commissioned to convey to the Turkish Commis aa.as at Akennann instructions and full no firers to that effect. There can be very little doubt concerning the acceptance of the Russian ultimatum by Turkey. Those rights which the Czsa bad already acquired, though he had not efnetually exercised them, will be recognised in future more fully by the Porte, and new guarantees will be given for the actual execution of its stipulations. The affairs of Greece will probably be included in the new ar rangements, and that country will obtain a modified de gree df independence, which, if it will not fulfil the more sanguine wishes of her friends, will at least disappoint the revenge of her fannies. The protectorate of Greece, If it were to be obtained by England, would not countervail the advantages which will probably be acquired by Russia on the side of Turkey and Persia. If, in the arrangement, *filch have been projected, it has been found necessary to . allot to Russia a larger indemnity for the advantages of . , Prance and Austria in Spain and Italy than' would be *Sided by the virtual superiority over the Christian it would certainly be desirable that the loss should be divided between the Mahometan rummer chief, so as not to weakei too much the resources of - .either. In any event it is almost certain that Russia will acquire important advantages over Turkey awl Persia-411. kenotages which we are not in a condition to prevent hie I ' from obtaining. This being the case, our only resotwee mast be to find means of indemnifying ourselves, by ac viring equivalent advantages in whet-quarters. This we should not by any means propose to do by territorial egiqw4 miens, but by increasing the number of our allies-41 drawing closer the ties between us and certain poetises Of the eastern world. In doing this we shall .he perfectly jus- , ' tilled, not only by the advantages which our alliance would confer on the countries themselves, but by the necessity to which we are reduced by the new acquisitions .of Russia of strengthening our Indian froatief, creating outposts at considerable distances in advaace.of the points of danger, and getting into our passessioWthe means of preventing a gonr aerable portion of the trade of the Ealt from falling. into the bands of foreign nations.

[From the Delft of Sunday.] The funeral' of Telma took place this morning at nine o'clock precisely. The following was the order of procession : Ist. The hearse, surrounded with the fulils', intimate friends of Telma, and the whole Company of the Comedic F 14111048, then the therms gentlemen who were to pronounce a discourse over the tomb, and the Royal Commissioner of that Theatre.—!d.

The performers of the Minor Theatres.--ilib. Painters, sculptors, composers, &c.-9th. The per. eons invited by tickets are by mistake begotten.-10th. In all the carriages those whomoges did not allow them to walk to the place of rest. Madame Talmo, whose maiden name was Vanhove, begs is to announce that she has taken upon herself the education and pros- pects of the children braeght up by her husband, and that she means thus to honour the memory of the excellent man whose name she bears. Th:s proceeding announces as much sensibility as vir tue. 'Why was not this generous woman at the bed-side of the man with whom she was united ? The pomps of religion will, perhaps, r to-day, join those of the arts over the tomb of Telma. ' After having so lastly praised the generous means by which the widow of Telma deserves to honour the name of her husband, our readers will not find the following particulars concerning her merit ' uninteresting:—Mss Caroline Vanhove, daughter of the actor of the same name, coin out at the Theatre F• &meats at the age of 14. She soon after married the celebrated professor of danctnr, Petit. The success she met with, both in tragedy and comedy, had raised her to the highest rank in her profession; when, in 1810, the ex treme delicacy of !ter health obliged her to retire. She had married Tama several years before that period. Thera sea no children by this marriage. The following Account if the last hours of this extraordinary man is given in a letter from Paris:— PAID!, OcT. 20. It was not until five o'clock yesterday morning that Telma be gan to be convinced,. by the extrema prostration of all his faculties, and the film that spread itself before his eyes, that his dissolution was approaching. iisteould no longer . distitiguish the person% who surrounded hin. He bad two notaries called, in whose pretence he confirmed the dispositions of his will, winch had been made three weeks before. After this exertion, his remaining strength scarcely sufficed to mutter, in an almost extinguished voice, the single word "Adieu 1"• which he addressed to one ofthe notaries. Four hours alter, at 38 minutes after 11 o'clock, he breathed hi last, apparently without any suffering. It is generally novena that the malady which has proved fatal to him was an intestinal schirrus. Mons. Dupuytren was desirous of performing an operation', Which he was convincedowould have saved Talmo, had he had strength enough to undergo it. This operation was to extract that ptmioa of the Intestines which. ac cording to this celebrated surgeon, were twisted, and to replace thesnin their natural state. The optosing of the body will show if M. Dupuytren's conjecture was correct. - Rut, convinced as he was of the efficacy of theoperation,he was deterred frion resorting to it by the stetes of eitreme weakness .o which Talmo was reduced, in eien. *looser of the total cessation of his digestive functions for 44 hours previous to his death. The singular fact of his continuing to lire so long in such a state is attributed by the physicians to his iernarkably strong constitution. One of these gentlemen has as serted that, on opening the body, the region of the breast and lungs will be found in the most healthy and cosset state. One of the last times the Archbishop of Paris (who has re peatedly endeavoured to gain admittance to Talmo presented himself at his house, and was refused by one of the patient's re lations to be brought Intl his presence, he said, " You probably suppose my intentions are very different from what they are is reality. My motives are noble and elevated. For along time back I have been endeavouring to procure front the Court of Rome, that the ridiculous excommunication pronounced against actors should be taken off, and the present circumstance may most powerfully conduce to the success of my endeavours: Telma dying in peace with the Church would furnish me with a puissant argument. Moreover, I promise you not to say a single word about religion, until Talon shall himself mention the subject." It is said that the last time the Archbishop called, and met, as before, with a refusal, he lost all patience, and vehemently apostrophized Talma's nephew, a physician, in the foHowing terms: —" Unfortunate man ! see what a responsibility you are drawing on your head. Great as is my indig nation, I cannot here-punish you tor such unworthy conduct ; my re ligion forbids me. But, on the Day of Judgment. when all the souls of my flock shall appear in the presence of Ood, mine shall pursue ypurs, and call upon it to answer fur the loss of an immortal soul." The young physician listened calmly to these terrible menaces, and firmly but respoctfully refused to introduce his Grace. The Ates. bishop . did not again return. 3ladame Vanhove, Talma's wife, also wished to be admitted to his bedside, but he refused to see her. Site did not insist, hut said, " I am sorry not to be permitted to see him once more. Tell him, I entreat you, that 1 came to offer harm teshare my fortune with his children. • Madame Vanhove has upwards of 40,000 f. a year, that had been left her by Dr. Moreau (De la Sarthe), with whom she had lived. It is pr-eisely this fortune that prevented any reconciliation between her and Talmo, and induced him to refuse seeing her in his last moments. "As my wife is now wealthy," said he, "it would no doubt be said that I became reconciled to her through motives of interest. tier fortune places an insurumuntalle barrier between us." _ One of the theatrical journals of this morning gives the follow ing account of Talons's last moments :—Taltna preserved all his intellectual faculties to the last moment. lie felt no acute pain, and only complained of having a cloud before his eyes. lie per fectly recognised the friends around his bed ; and on seeing Messrs. Jouy, Arnault, and Dovilliere, he stretched net his arms, wept, and embraced them. He said to his nephew, " The physic'ane know nothing of my disease. Hecommend them to open my body, that it may be useful to my fellow.crentures;" and in a minute after he said, "Let there be no priertsl All I ask is not to be buried too soon." Some time before, he exclaimed., " What do they require of me ? To make me abjure the art to which I owe all my glory, an a t that I idolize ? To deny the forty brightest years of my life, to st parate my cause front that of my comrades, and to acknowledge them to be Infamous? Never !" A few moments before his death he murmured in a faint yoice t " 31 alsalt• -Voltaire f'iix Voltaire!" Thus the grossest Vngetlfito of this age expired in invoking the name of the greatest tragic genius of the last age. Sir Henry Hallord, Dr. Maciniebacl, Mr. Macgregor, and Mr. Simpson, visited the Duke of York yesterday. His Royal Highness was engaged during the morning with Sir Herbert Taylor, his Military Secretary, also with the Adjutant-General and the Deputy Quarter-Master General.

On Monday night. a very numerous Meeting of the broad silk weavers took place at the chapel of the Rev. Mr. Adams, Church. street. Mlle-end, New-town; for the purpose of receiving the Audi tors' Report of the income and expenditure of a Society which had been previously established, denominated a General Protection So ciety. for the support of the trade. Mr. Wn. WEas was called to the Chair. Mr. WALLIS, Secretary, read the Report, from which it ap. peered that. after an expenditure of 691. there remained in the hands of the treasurer 1191. (Great cheering.) Mr. Bon LTER movtd Oat the Report read should be adopted. Carried with applause. It was then moved by Mr. Tiros; peon, jun., that it was the opinln of the Meeting, if the Society so established would be sup. ported by the trade, it would carry into effcct the object for which it was instluted —Carried. It was afterwards moved that the Committee should prepare a list, or rate of wages, for the different branches of the trade, to be submitted to the next general Meeting. . Thanks were then voted to the Rev. Gentlemen for the use of the chapel, and to the Chairman ; after which the Meeting se parated. UNITED LONDON AND HIBERNI AN CORN AND FLOUR COMPANY. A general meeting of the Shareholders in this Company was held yesterday, at three o'clock, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queemstreet, Lincoln's Inn-fields, in pursuance of previous adver tisement. It. CAM LEN, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. CARRELLS stated that he was sorry to see such a thin at. tentlance of Shireholders ; he was at the same time pleased. however, to see all the Directors at their poets ; and, without de. taming the Meeting, he would move that the Secretary do read a Report '.f the Company's proceedings from first to last. 1 The SECRETARY reed the Report, which awed generally that the proMoters of the Company, being aware of the dreadful extent .o which the manufacture and select adulterated and damaged flour wee earned, and, at the same time, impressed with a feeling that the manufacture of a pure and genuine article afforded means for a ra• thinal mid profitable investment, laid the scheme before the world in the usual way : it appeared, however, that, though meeting with public support at the mitre; teem a combination of causes, end that although the most rigid eeoneteny had been adopted,it now became necessary that the Company should be dissolved. The Directors and their immediate friends were the chief sufferers by the concern t thercoimed pu4:ity, and wills that feeling they laid themselves before the meeti A desultory egitryersation here ensued, when Mr. Cull X Isliarented to know what debts were due to the Corn. party—if they we geoll, and likely soon to be paid ? The SECRE'T4II,4' stated that payment of the principal debts to the Company hid Seen guaranteed by a gentleman, in conjunction with another, w ,- unluckily for the Company. had not signed the bond ; and question of law arising as to how far one party who had sign the bond could be called on whilst only jointly liable with another party who had not signed, the party who had executed the bond thought he was exonerated. The Company, constituted like all others of the same kind, could not maintain an action, therefore there might be some doubt as regarded the pay ment of some part at least of the debt •Iluded to. Mr. CORR:um thought that some one had been very remiss in not getting the bonds properly executed by both parties ; but there was another debt said to be due to the Company, amounting to three hundred pounds, being a deposit on what was called the purchase of the flotherhidie Mills ; is that recoverable? The SECRETARY replied that Counsel's opinion had been taken, and in consequence of steps which had been adopted, it was ex pected that the money would be paid in a few days. A StuaneitoLtien (grumbling)—You have called a public Meeting when our money is all spent; is it likely that you will let us have any of it back aga;n ? The Secit&tan r said that much, and, indeed, all, depended upon the amount of debts that may yet be recovered. Mr. COBS ten —Where is the deed of settlement of the Corn pany ? A SHAREHOLDER—It is !mien. (Much laughter.) The Secretary was called upon to explain. Ile stated that the better way would. be to read the minutes of a Meeting held in consequence, by which it appeared that a Mr. Charles Ritchie, of Greenwich, who had been admitted a Director, in the absence of the Secretary, thought proper to walk off with the deed and minute.beok, and neither the one nor the other had been heard of since. (A laugh.) The opinion of the Solicitor of the Company had been taken on the subject; but as now-a_days one partner could rob another with impunity, nothing decisive had been done, and it - was left for the leetittg of this day to adopt whatever course might be thought beat. Illy. CARRELLS thought the better way would be to let the matter alone. Another long and unconnected conversation ensued, when it was resolved that the Company be dissolved, and its afftirs wound up in the most economical way possible, and that another and final public meeting be held for the purpose of ratifying this Resolution. and for exhibiting a detailed statement of the pecu niary matters of the Company. Thanks being then voted to the Citainnao, the Meeting broke up. - We hear that the important question has just been de cided, That Wien Corn may be admitted for home use, at the ad valorem duty of teu per cent. provided it is un ground.—Liverpool Papei. In the Courier of Friday last we made sbme remarks upon certain - transactions represented as having taken place in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, and in which the name of Lord Grosvenor was rather unceremoniously introduced. We are now informed, upon the authority of the Noble Earl himself, that the whole statement put forth at the Meeting of the Parishioners of the Oat Ward of St. George's is, as far as it regards Lord Grosvenor, " a tissue of falsehood." In justice to the Noble Earl, we lose no time is announcing this fact.— Cuurier. From all the accounts Mini the Continent lately, there is the greatest reason to fear that a most formidable competi tion it not only projected, but proceeding with our manu factures, originating in our restrictive system, and stimu lated by the high prices at which they are sold, and at which they must be sold, unless both provisions be afforded cheaper than they can be now, and taxation be sensibly diminished. Ilow is it possible that, with a taxation like ours, and with provisions on the other aide of the water at half the price they fetch on this side, our artisans can com pete with the foreigner? And, should British manufac turers be once fairly driven out of the market, will that not be eventually as ruinous to the agricultural as to the manu facturing interest itself? IVill it not diminish the demand for provisions, and, eventually, the value of land very ma terially ? In many parts of the Continent there are strong inducements to foster and encourage the competition to which we have adverted. However respected and feared, we are, nevertheless, for various causes, hated and envied ; and nothing would give our great and good allies greater pleasure than to see us humbled. Those of them whose sta ple commodity finds no admission into our harbours,and who have hitherto depended on us for manufactures which they have been obliged to purchase at enormous prices, naturally direct their attention to the supply of their owtr wants by their own ingenuity and industry; and no obstacle that we know of exists to their ultimate complete success, but our being able to undersell them ; nor any inducement to make them slacken in their zeal, but our rect iving, in exchange for our produce, that of which they have to dis pose. Under this view of the situation of this country, in our humble opinion, it would be not only wisdom, in a general point of view, as the general welfare is concerned, but individually, as far as their own interests are involved, if the great landholder' would advocate a modification of the Corn lalrfs, coupling with it a great reduction of tax ation. It is the firm conviction of our minds that Eng- ' land never can be restored to the state of prosperity it once enjoyed, but by the adoption of these two great measures.. /nee adopted, Continental rivalry in manufacture woukl lose its strongest stimulants. The former would generate a more friendly feeling between us and our neighbours; both together would enable us to lower our prices abroad, by being able to work cheaper at home; and, when placed on tolerably 'equal ground as to price, there can be no doubt that the perfection to which our manufactures have been brought will claim the preference by purchasers of every description. In that case we may fairly presume upon the whole of our population being once more called into vigorous operation, at remunerating profits on the one hand, and competent wages on the other, causing a demand for food and clothing, conveniences and comforts, luxury and ornament, which would diffuse satisfaction through the whole community. Agriculture would feel and enjoy the advantages of such a change as much as rely other interest. Its experts:A would be lessened, the demands for its produce would be increased, the wages of its labours would he ad vanced, and the " poor devils," wham Sir J. Pollen com lliterates with so much sympathy, would, in a great mea sure, disappear. Rents may not be so high as.they are, but still high enough to enable our gentry to maintain their distinctions in society. At all even tie they would be ena bled to rejoice in the sight of happy faces round them, and saved from the misery of encounte•riug,j in all their peram bulations, a starving, miserable, and begging tenantry, who seem to be deteriorating in proportion to the continu ance of the high price of bread.—Lieerpool Paper. .~-, TO THE EDITOR OF TUB BRITISH PRESS. ...--.40.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE,—A melancholy instaiei of self-destruction occurred a few days ago at St. Helen's. A young woman, about twenty years of age, became ac quainted, at Leigh, with a soldier, who seduced her, and with whom she afterwards carried on an illicit intercourse. The poor creature became pregnant by her paramour, to whom she was seriously attached. He was rent with a detachment from his regiment to St. Helen's. Thither the unfortunate girl followed him ; but the fellow refused, on her arrival there, to renew his connexion with her. This cruel behaviour on the part of her lover broke the poor girl's - heart, and drove her to despair. She immediately formed a resolution to poison herself. In vain she tried to procure a deleterious drug at the different aFthecaries shops in St. Helen's. It•solutely bent, however, upon self destruction, the wretched female, it is stated, came all the way to th's town to procure arsenic, with which, having purchased it, she returned to St. Helen's. There she went into a public-house, called for some ale, put the poison into the jug, and, after throwing the paper which had con tained the drug under the fire, drank off the poisonous mixture. She immediately quitted the house, without any person suspecting that she had swallowed prison. In the evening, however, the servant of the house, who had seen the unfortunate woman throw the wrapper under the grate, took up the paper, for the purpose of using it to curl her hair. What was her astonishment to find written Or printed on it the word " Poison !" She immediately com municated to the people of the house the suspicions which this discovery had raised in her breast, and a search was instantly made for the unhappy woman. She was found soon after in the privy, in the agonies of tl:ath, and in a abort time after she expired, a victim to misplaced affection and to the wickedness of man. FATAL AFFRAY AT COGGESHALL.—(FUTiIIer rattiest larss)—On Saturday night last, a party of labourers, in the employ of Mr. Hanbury, met at the Chapel, Coggeshall, to spend their largess • they were joined by the woodranger and his son, named Goody, the former beirg tptween fifty and sixty yeartrof age. In the course of the evening.a patty of weavers were also in the same, be and some words arose b-tween Goody the younger aid one of the weavers, named John Evans. They fought, and the bat* lasted nearly an.hour. About one o clock on Sunday morn ing the labourers, with the Goodys, left the house; the weavers, it appears, had lingered about the door and yard, to hcoe them for the victory obtained by their companion. Among the latter was a lad named Owers, about 18 years of age, a vender of pies, with whom the elder Goody had recently disputed respecting his gathering • nu:s. When Goody, with the labourers, reached Highfields, being fol lowed by • the weavers, the elder Goody challenged the whole to combat, men for man. The weavers approached, hut not a blow was struck, and the parties had separated. Owers, however, kept with the Goodys; shortly after the voice of Owers was heard by a man named French to ex claim " Murder ! you have killed me." French immedi ately went to his assistance; he sawfttim falling on his side, the blood streaming from his left arm, and Owen said, " 0 Lord; lam a dead man." The Goodys then knocked French down, -but others came to his assistance; and French said, pointing to the Goodys, who were then mak ing their escape, " they are the murdeeers." OHM pulled up his shirt, and told Thomas Spurgeon that old John Goody had stuck him; at this instant the Goodys ran to wards Mr. White's yard, where they were apprehended; ota Goody exclaimed," Murder,murder, I will pay all expmses." A man of the name of Fenn said to old Goody; why surely you will never be easy after this, to which Goody replied, lie did not care about it, and wished Owen might die that minute.—A man named Browning, who assisted in appre hending the Goodys, saw the old man shut a clasp knife, and put it into his pocket, from which it was afterwards taken, although he denied having it. in his possession. Owen survived only about an hour, although Mr. Godfrey, a surgeon, was upon the spot as early as possible, after in formation had reached him, at which time the deceased had lost five or six pints of blood. a• r • .N 50,000 it f, and, finding that,it hail no impression on the Market, came in and bought 100,000 at the Name price, at which price they remained at. the , close of the day; for money and for the Account at 811851. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds show s further advance to-day, the former to RS, 97, and the latter to 38, 40, premium. The only report in circulation was the probability that the services of my Lord BeIIMITOID, and the other British officers holding rank in the Portuguese army, would be called into action. During the former attempt on the part of the op rim of a liberal form of govermpent in Portugal, the marines of The British men-of-we in the Tagustccupied some of die batteries on the river to protect the shipping, and it is understood that has been the extent of their inter ference on the present occasion. In the Foreign Market, Melina Bonds have been those' • which have varied: the meet, having Wei done as low as 61i, and as high as 63i, the latter being the closing price. It is now put forth that the Mean. Basica have orders from the Mexican Government to convert the 5 per Cent. Bonds into 6 per Cents, and to all upon the Bondholders to pay up the difference. This information appears, however, to be of a very suspicious character, foe it is believed that the Mexican Government has neither power to make such an alteration, nor to raise a new Loan, without the sanction of Congress. No MA authority has as yet been given, as , far as is knower of Ote,protesaings of that body, and there fore dm inn/magi's utast be tonsidered very doubtful. If such a rutin* imellern ilohateil It must tine been known here. Th e Meelele. BARING may, and doubtless fie, possess all the power whlsh tie Madan Governinent can arm them; but in matter tif es much moment ar raising a new, or increasing an old Lpan, that can only be done by an Act of Congress, the knowledge of which must have reached England long since, had such been the case. The lowest pries of Colombian Bemis le-day has been 34, and Alley closed at 391. Tie New York Mail, which arrival last night., did not bring any laterinfounation than that by the Human, and &emitter, from the improvement in the mar ket, the adage of "No news is good news" prevails here , as well es elsewhere. Greek have receded to 14, doubtless from the apse made at the Meeting of. Bondholders yesterday. Whatever complaint may be made in England as to the want of energy and proper' &cling among the dif ferent• parties that have struggled for power in Greece, they at least may return the compliment as regards the, supineness that has been evinced by those to whose talents and judgment the arrangement of the supplies to be afforded them has been entrusted in this country. The Baena Ayres packet is still absent, and therefore nothing is known' as to the Chilian Dividend: these Bonds remain at 39 40; Spanish remain at 11, with little doing. There have been some sales of Sugar to-day at last prices, but Coffees are immensely heavy, large quantities having been bought in. In Rums there is little or nothing doing; indeed, upon the whole, the market has commenced under rather unfavourable auspices. Exchanges are generally still a shade higher to-day. The following is from a French paper :—" It is known that Count Poem di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador, re• ceivcd within these two days ah extraordinary courier from Moscow, and it is suspected that this courier does not bring favourable accounts in regard to the war with the Persians. It appears that the result of the first commence ment of hostilities was not so advantageous to the Russians as reported ; and if we use well informed, at the departure of the last despatches it wis believed at S•. Petersburgh that Tiflis was taken by the Persiaas. It was reported at Con stantinople that the Russian Ambassador was prepared to leave; if the ultimatum was not accepted." It appears, from the letters from Portugal, that the in sturection in Tras-os-Montes, led by the Marquis of Chaves, was suppressed almost immediately ; the leader fled into Spain. In Algarve the proceedings of the Marquis of Abrante were of a more sellout character, but it is pro bable that this remit will also be suppressed withont much difficulty. As Spain has been compelled to disarm and remove from the frontiers all Portuguese fugitives, these abortive insurrection) are the best things that can happen for the constitutional system. It is happy, as well for Portugal as for the discontented Portuguese, that Spain is open to them on such terms; the latter may enjoy the sweets of absolute monarchy under the most steadfast of legitimates, and the forma will be rid of troublesome subjects. THE SLATE Taaos.-The Governor of Gibraltar, Sir George Don, has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, declaring. "that any person who shall be engaged in the fitting out, &c. or contract for the fitting out, &c. of any ship, vessel, or boat, in order to accomplish any of the objects or contracts declared unlawful by the statute made and enacted by his Majesty, with the consent and advice of Parliament, in the fifth year of his Ma jesty's reign, for the abolition of the Slave Trade, or who shall lend, or contract for the lending, &c. of money, goods, or effects, to be employed in accomplishing any such illegal objects or contracts, or who shall in any other man ner engage or contract to engage therein, or who shall ship, receive, or put on board, or contract for doing the same on board of any vessel, such mont y, goods, or effects to be em ployed in accomplishing any of the raid illegal objects or contracts, shall incur and become subject to the pains and penalties provided in and by the said statute for the punish ment of persons guilty of all or any of the offences afore said." CO NTI N r NTA t. MO NEV. —The following is an extract of a letter in oar possess ion , written 45 years ago, by a mer chant of a neiglurirg town, to his brother:— " Boston, April If, 1781. 4 ' I arrived here yesterday—found the roads very dry and good. Things have risen on account of the war with the Dutch ; and the exchange between giver and paper has risen in consequence of large quantities of paper catmint frcm Philadelphia. Plane is from 100 f. to 1181. (3l to 303 dollars) per barrel. New rum is 50 dollars per gallon. Tell Sally (a sister in the store) to sell tea at 150 dol. lan per pound, and West India rum at 140 dollars per gallon. It will be difficult, 1 suppose, to get hard cash. I shall not inquire for it for several days, as I understand the delirium be a ins to sub. It appears, from another part of the letter, that when the Imre price of flour in 11.,ston was from 333 to 393 dollars per barrel, the specie price of wheat in this vicinity was only Gs. per bushel. In those days wheat flour was trans ported from this part of the country to Boston.—Antericom I'uJrr. • AS was anticipated in our last, the workers belonging to several cotton-mills in this neighbourhood yesterday ceased working, in consequence of the proposed reduction of wages. In two extensive factories at Barrowfield the turn out of 72 spinners has thrown idle SOO persons, employed in the 'various depattments of manufacture. Some of these spinners were earning 1/. a we.k, at eight hours' labour a day. A, number of mills are expected to stop in the course of the week, as the warning of reduction expires. The misery that prevails in the suburbs will thus be fearfully aggravated: The spinners employed by Mr. M`Laren agreed to accept of the proposed reduction, but yesterday they stated to their e•mployer that " the body " had threatened them, and would nut allow them to continue at their work ; and thus 190 persona are thrown idle in that mill, • The workers of another mill arc in a similar predi cament. The state of the trade is such that it is consi dered a 'natter of little importance' by the proprietors of cotton-works whether or not the ma concede to their turns.. For some time yarns have sold so low that it has been more from a principle of humanity, than with any hope of profit, that the works have been kept going. The proportiort of spinners, in comparison with other workers, tit only as one to seven; but the former, have obtained such an undue ascendancy over the piccers, from the ab ' turd practice of being allowed to be their paymasters, that they generally strike along will them, instead of ern bracing the opportunity of occupying the vacant wheels, by which • they could triple t%e amount of their earnings. In the mean time, the band weavers arc earning six shil lings a week at 15 hours labour kday.—Wavow C'h/Onide of Tuesday. • • • ; IIE PRESS. • )MR• • MT .thst Can L heard I Nato& vy erf . lnc jag a Crt 11/11 Wig fe * l 7' •adle , as da , IWO "ii -WS a =I vu, FOCI We ° •znere • mud pen, • cowl ' fnllo • tbei Tin sea* Mai 1 yea fore (Ire Ito dal ba , thu WI 1 Cil for fo.l I I 1 I
