STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) v a 4.4 , 4 ",D5, Sept. B.—The markets have be en of a rather arced character this week. There was a fair business be 0 11 Saturday in the Coloured Cloth hal an l ; d inac tive, but in . e white market the tone was generally dull On Tuesday the transactions in th e White Cloth hall 'were again very few and meagre, and it was a de cided bad market- - in fact, the worst there has been for 0, a long time. There was a better feeling in e Coloured Hall, and a m oderate business was -"' don e f or a Tuesday's market. On the whole, t he tendency this week has been towards dulness. The mills in the clothing districts continue in active ° Aeration, as it is the manifes t p olic y of ever y manufac turer, now while the prices are high, to work up his materials with all possible dispatch ; there is conse• quently abundance of employment for every one that is Willing and able to work. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—Our markets are now so generally good ones, that it is difficult, week after week, to vary the tone in which an opinion is expressed of klaem. The same tale has to be told to-day. All kinds ° f seasonable goods have been bought up as readily as ever, and nothing of any consequence left unsold. Prices a bout the same. ROCHDALE, Monday.—There has been a good demand for flannels, more especially for those made of the lower qualities of wool ; goods of a finer description have not been so much inquired after. Low priced English wools ar e,ecarce and better prices are asked for them. BRADFORD, Thursday.—The market of this day was cha racterised by dulness, though a good deal o f business ae done. In plain goods, Cobourgs are the principal , tt icie in dem a nd. This is a brisk season for fanc y , e th ie- The present condition of trade is what is likely bcontinue fo r some time to come.

THE LAND REVENUES OF THE CR OWN,--Among the acts of last session was one to facilitate the redemption of certain charges on the hereditary possessions and land revenues of the Crown. It seems that by letters patent and a deed in the reign of Charles the Second, and by other " ways and means," perpetual pensions, some of which were under 101., were given to eFclesias cal persons, and they are still payable on certain feasts of the Church, and charged on the land revenues of the Crown. The object of this act is to clear off a number of small pensions, which may now, with the consent of the ecclesiastical commissioners, be sold to the Crown. The others are to be paid in April land November in each year, and not on the feasts specified by the grants. THE PARIS EXHIBITION, 1855.—The following notice to English artists, dated Marlborough House, Septem ber 9, and signed jointly by Mr. Henry Cole and Pro fessor Playfair, has just been issued.—" The Board of Trade has received information from the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, stating that the French Ambassador has communicated to him that a Universal Exhibition of the Fine Arts is to take place at Paris, in May, 1855, at the same time as the Exhibition of Industry, The French Government expresses a desire that this Exhibi tion may be as complete as possibl e , an d t h at i ts organi sation may be arrangedin a manner to give satisfaction to every nation invited to assist in it. The artists' works will be forwarded gratuitously to Paris, and the arrangement of them will not entail any e x p ense on t h e artists exhibiting. Information of further arrange . rayits will be afforded as soon as they are made." DIEPPE STEEPLECHASES AND FETE. The old, quiet, dozy, dirty littl e picturesque city of Dieppe has of late found itself suddenly fashionable and famous from the sunshine of Imperial favour having shone upon its fantastic gables a nd p i nnac l es , and high pitched Norman roofs. The conseenence of the patron age of Napoleon the Third and his fair Empress, has been such a scraping, and paintin g , and cleansing , and decorating ; such galas and shows ; suc h an outburst of flowers of fashion, bright uniform s and such a show of gold, silver, and worsted lace of every a profusion of flags on e very " coign of van t a ge as colour, and s uch never was seen in the memory of that oblivio us per sonage, " the oldest inhabitant" In addition to fl atter y and feastings, and frolics and fireworks, and bathings, and pic-nics and parties of all sorts, hotel-keepers, horses, and house-accommodation have been steadily advancing in prices. As Thursday, however was advertised as the day of a grand display of steeplechasing, and know ing they do not use to " manage th ese things better in France," ' we departed per S outh Coast for N ew h a ven at an early hour on Wednesday; but our intentions of an early arrival on the scene were frustrated by an unfore seen accident, the boat Le Rouen one of the new iron boats of the Brighton and South Coast Co., which was to have received the 10h. 30m., a ,rn, p a ssengers, in making the difficult and shoal h ar b our Of Dieppe at early morn, had touched the bar, and tearing away her rudder, had become unmanageable ; the strong flowing tide set ting in, then drove her violently against the pipes of the jetty, tearing them away in a wonderful manner, then rebounding against the opposite side of the narrow entrance, and destroying her own paddle-boxes and wheels. Thus completely crippled, the service fell upon the Paris, her twin boat, and the early voyagers, rein forced by the 7 p.m. train from London, crowded the boat, which left at 10.30 p. m ., a stiff head wind and a crowded vessel made the pleasure seekers doubly anxious, but on arriving a little before 6 in sight of Dieppe, the water was insufficient, and the steamer stood on and off till 11 in the day before a landing was effected. At 1, crowds of equestrians, vehicles, and pedestrians were on their road to the course, situated in the prairies of Dieppe and Rouxmenil, a tract of coarse grass land on the left of the road to Argues. It presented the usual natural features of an English course. Three water jumps, a circuit of about 3 , 0 00 yards twice traversed, and a distance added, with fences and dressed hurdles of the ordinary character. The Emperor and Empress, who in the morning had been walking almost unat tended, and without escort on the beach, arrived on the ground at a few minutes before the time appointed for the first race. They came in two open carriages, of English style, each drawn by four magnificent bays, with postillions in green and gold, and an escort of mounted " Guides ;" the enthusiasm of the people for the Emperor and Empress was unanimous and unmis takeable ; indeed, it cannot be disguised that the Em peror is immensely popular with the middle and lower classes of his volatile subjects. The coup d'wil from the " tribunes," or stands, which were most tastefully deco rated, was admirable. Groups of military, a regimental band, and the picturesque peasant costume of Nor mandy, heightened the attractions of the scene. The entrance fee to the pesage, or weighing-pla ce , a commo dious enclosure, favourably contrasting with many of the English black holes used for that purpose, was fixed at the high sum of 20 francs for each person, which obviated inconvenient pressure on the officials. The racing will be found appended. It appeared to give the greatest satisfaction to the Im p e rial party and the populace. The Emperor did not depart till the last race was over. In the evening the town was all alive, and the Emperor and Empress went on board La Reins Hortense, war steamer. A succession of fetes, for which great preparation, triumphal arohes, firework stages, &c., were erected, with lig hted p avilion s for dancing, an all the addenda of a fair were prepared, tookiplace yesterday (Friday). The following is a return of the steeplechasing The Dieppe Steeplechase of B,ooofr. (330 sovs.) given by the town of Dieppe, 500 fr. (20 sovs.) entry, for horses of all countries ; six to start ; o v er about four miles the second horse to receive I,ooofr. (20 sovs.) ; to carry 70 kilos. (1401 b.) ; French horses allowed 4 kilos.

Rost's Billy from Brigg, 72 kilos ......... (R o d ne y) 0 Betting—Even on Franc Picard agst the field, 6 to 4 agst Ploughboy, the others friendless. The Race—Coeur de Lion led over the first two jumps, Ploughboy close up, Timothy third, Billy from Brigg and Franc Picard as here set down, Lady Arthur last. Turning at the top and descending the hollow towards the brook, Ploughboy "went to the fore,"_ Coeur de Lion and Sam Hood second and third, Franc Picard going easily and well within himself. As the horses passed the Grand Stand, and came to the artificial water jump, a second time Ploughboy was first, Franc Picard second, and Sam Hood third, Lady Arthur fourth, Billy from Brigg seemed taking it easy, and Coeur de Lion, having re fused, was also in the rear. After turning at the top, by the enclosure, Sam Hood came out strongly, headed Ploughboy, and went to work in rattling style for a quarter of a mile, at the end of this near the brook Ploughboy came to him, with Franc Picard close at hand, Ploughboy jumped the big brook first, but over reached, and cut himself severely, and on went Franc Picard with the lead, Sam Hood after him ; Ploughboy recovering, soon passed Sam Hood, but Franc Picard kept his forward place, and won cleverly by two lengths, Sam Hood third to Ploughboy's second by about the like interval. All the horses took their jumps without a casualty, save that of Pl9ugboy. Lady Arthur was fourth, Timothy fifth, Billy from Brigg and Cceur de Lion pull up, and walked in. The grand event over so punctually, that a great number of 'the English visitors did not arrive till the winner had returned to scale, the second race was called. This was A STEEPLECHASE of 2,400 f., given by the Companies of Rouen, Havre, and Dieppe ; open to horses of all countries ; 150 f. entrance, h ft ; about three miles ; to carry 65 kilos. (130Ib.) ; the winner of a stake of 120 Boys to carry 41b extra ; of 160 sous, 61b ; 61b allowed to horses foaled and trained in France. Three miles. M. de Lamarre's Flying Buck, 67 kilos (H. Rackley) 1 M. George's Augustine, 65 kilos .............(Planner) 2 Le Comte de Contandon's Bedford, 65 kilos (H. Lamplugh) 0 Le Baron de Monnerove's Quickstep, 65 kilos (Wakefield) 0 Bedford and Flying Buck found most friends, the for mer at 6 to 4, the latter at 2 to 1 ; 3 t o 1 agst Augus tine or Quickstep, Flying Buck was in front at the stand, Bedford in close attendance on him, Augustine and Quickstep a little in the rear. At the water jump, which Flying Buck cleared neatly, Bedford fell, and Lamplugh got a regular purler. He, however, immediately got on his feet, and started off in pursuit of his stray animal. There was a warm manifestation of applause from the imperial party on seeing the rapidity with which he recovered himself. Soon after this he refused, and was out of the race. Quickstep also got into the brook, but was persuaded out by Wakefield, and raced after her horses in vain. Augustine now took second place to Flying Buck, and this order was kept to the end. Flying Buck, well ridden by Harry Rackley, being put by six lengths from Augustine, who pulled determinedly, and seemed inclined to bolt, but Planner kept her to work. After Bedford's fall and Quickstep's blunder, there were but the two horses in the race. The third event was a gentleman's race. A steeplechase of 3,000 f., presented by his Majesty the Emperor of the French. Entrance 150 f. ; gentlemen riders ; about two miles ; to carry 65 kilos ; a winner of 3,000 f. before entrance to carry 1 kilo extra ; of 5,000 f., 2 kilos ; of 10,000 f., 3 kilos. Thirteen jumps. M. Delamotte's Franc Picard, 72 kilos (Comte Contandon) 1 M. De Lamaire's Flying Buck, 72 kilos (M. De Lauriston) 2 Vicomte de Talon's Cceur de Lion (Owner) 0 Franc Picard was the favourite at 3 to 2 against the pair opposed to him. Coeur de Lion went boldly to the front, but could not hold his pride of place ; Frano Picard and Flying Buck passed him, and got a commanding lead, owing to his refusing the water jump. Comte Talon forced him determinably at it, and successfully cleared it, amid much applause. In the second and concluding portion of the race, Franc Picard had it his own way, and won, held, by , a dozen lengths. Count Contadon was raptu rously cheered as he rode to scale.

SHIPPING AND TONNAGE.—A return to Parliament has just been printed of the number and tonnage of ves sels built and registered in the ports of the British em pire in each year from 1815 to 1853, with other parti culars connected with shipping. In the United Kingdom in the year ended the sth January last, 712 vessels, of 167,491 tonnage were built and registered in the United Kingdom. In 1852 the total number for the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British plantations was 1,382 vessels built of 293,679 tonnage. On the 31st December last there were 243,512 men employed in na vigating the vessels belonging to the several ports of the British empire. The vessels num bered 34,402, and the tonnage 4,424,392. Last year there w e re of British and foreign 6,730,16 9 tonnage in the foreign trad e o f t h e United Kingdom that entered inwards, and 6,872,581 tonnage outwards in the same year.

THE A aCHBT7IIOP OF cANTERBURY ON CoNVOCATION. On Wednesday and Thursday the Lord Primate met the parochial clergy resident in the vicinity of Ashford and Sittingbourne, and in his charge made I the following observations on the revival of the ac tive functions of Convocation—a, subject which had recently given occasion for much discussion and controversy, and in which his Grace had the mis ' fortune to differ from many whose opinions were worthy of all due consideration. His Grace's prin cipal objection to active Convocation was, that it was not a step to promote the great interests of the ministry, the establishment of personal religion among the people, or the advancement of religion generally throughout the land—nay, he would go further, and express a belief that it was more likely to impede than to assist the progress of re ligion. He ought not, however, to express an opinion contrary to the expectation of many of his clergy without assigning the grounds of that opi nion. It was not, he trusted, unduly biassed by a natural distaste for popular assemblies, and the debates that attended them ; still less was it in fluenced by the temptation to exercise the autho rity vested in his office, and established by ancient usage. But, circumstanced as he was, it was his duty to examine the arguments on both sides of the question with care and impartiality, and his Grace's opinion was, that the dangers on the one side were far greater than the advantages, if there were any, on the o th er . Th e i r persona l duty, as ministers of the church, was already laid down for them in the service by which they were ordained to that important work. The office and charge to which they were called was to be messengers, watchmen, and stewards of the Lord—to feed and provide for the Lord's family —to seek for Christ's sheep that were dispersed abroad, and his children who were in the midst of this naughty world, that they might be saved through Christ for ever. That such duty might be effectually discharged, a special locality was assigned to every clergyman, in which he was to fulfil his office as a messenger, watch man, and steward—where he was to proclaim the Word of Truth as the Ambassador of God to all within his reach—where he was to watch as one who was to give an account of the souls entrusted to his care ;wher e h e was to disp ense t o every one, as a faithful stewa r d, instruction, warning, en couragement, consol a ti on , as thecase required. e dNow he was unable to p erce i ve how anycl e er -- man's efficiency or succe ss i n th e various d ments of his parochial duty could b e promotedg by the deliberations of an assembly constituted as Convocation was constituted, or even according to any constitution which might be devised for a similar body. If it was to have the proper nature of Convocation it must represent every part of the country, although for a similar reason it might perform the office of taxation. The members would be brought together from districts remote, having, indeed, alike, the same corrupt nature to deal with in their respective neighbourhoods, but each varying from the other with regard to the circumstances by which it was to be in fluenced, or the dangers to which it was exposed. He knew not what suggestions they could promote or advise and offer which would be generally ap plicable or beneficial, so as to give any pastor of a parish the assistance he needed. Could they imagine any great benefit to be derived from the assembling together of the clergy of a particular neighbourhood to discuss their difficulties and com pare the several plans of usefulness ? But such meetings had no resemblance to general Convoca tion, neither was one large assembly suited to a work that might be usefully accomplished by 500 small assemblies. It had been said, and plausibly too, that there were general subjects with respect to the church and the state of national religion which properly belonged to synodical control. At first sight there appeared much reason in such a view of the subject, and education was among the various matters represented as capable of advanta geous discussion. However, upon looking to the case more narrowly, they would find it suited for consultation and co-operation, but for the consul tation of those who were placed in similar circum stances, not of those who had nothing in common except the same desire that the rising generation should be brought up in the fear of God. What ever, in a practical view, could be effected by the general body was already done by the National Society. What the National Society was too prudent to undertake was the subject for a diocese and not for a province, and so it had happily been made. Within the last 20 years diocesan boards of education had been established in most dioceses ; different dioceses had framed their own arrangements with avariety of plans, and all directed to a uniformity of purpose. No single scheme, if it could have been applied at all, would have answered the object or fulfilled the purpose so successfully as the arrangement each diocese made for itself. * * * Another important subject, in which the clergy always took the lead, was the extension of the means of grace in near proportion to the increase of the population. Looking at that question from a distance, it did appear to be the very question for Convocation ; but looking at it closely and prac tically, it appeared to be a question for every dis trict, or, at least, every diocese. What was the evil to be remedied ? A parish had become too large for its single church and minister. What they required, then, was funds to build additional churches and support additional clergymen. Wore there any powers of Convocation to call forth such funds ? Here, again, they might learn from expe rience that the society, which had been incorpo rated for the express purpose of increasing the accommodation, had been in active operation nearly 40 years, and very great were the benefits it had conferred. After the supply of wants at home, and even simultaneously with them, there was another great object every Christian had at heart, and what the clergy were justly expected to be first in promoting—the propagation of the Gospel, both in the foreign dependencies and among the heathen now become their fellow-subjects in num bers frightful to contemplate. He had observed that mention had been made of that subject also as one which Convocation might properly take in hand. But here again, he mightjustly ask, what could Con vocation effect ? The work could only be done in union and co-operation, and so far it appeared to be a proper work for Convocation, and it would have been well if Convocation had undertaken it 140 years ago ; but as thin g s were, the work was already in other hands. The Society for Propagating the Gospel and Promoting Christian Knowledge had been en gaged in it for 150 years. Would any one who was the least acquainted with the machinery of that great society propose that it should be inter fered with, or believe it could be advantageously placed under the direction of a body like Convo cation, or indeed of any body except that approved by the subscribers and contributors to the funds ? Supposing the church as a body should undertake it, and supposing it was represented by members of Convocation, where would they begin ? Exactly where the societies had begun which were at the present time engaged in circulating the Scriptures —distributing religious books—in supporting mis sionaries —in establishing churches, with their bishops and pastors, in different parts of the world. * * Convocation, if ever led to interfere with these societies, certainly could not contribute to their prosperity—it would probably throw them into confusion. And here he might fairly put it to the clergy, whether in the exercise of their office they had ever found any hindrance from the state of abey ance in which Convocation had long been placed, or could have been assisted in their duties—those duties of a great and weighty nature—if its func tions had continued in operation ? If the ecclesias tical parliament held its sittings as regularly as the civil parliament, could it aid them in repairing or building churches—in founding or supporting schools—in erecting parsonage houses ? Still fur ther, could it promote that which was more impor tant—could it enable them to bring one additional soul to serious and vital religion ? Private inter course of the clergy with their neighbours might be beneficial to all purposes that related to the public and general measures which concerned the interests of religion. It was natural that those members of the church, both lay and clerical, whose stations in their respective neighbourhoods gave them influ ence, should meet and take counsel together at such meetings as were not unfrequently held as particu lar occasions called for th em, an against such . meetings there w as ne i ther moralnor political objection. But hi s Grace deprecated the revival of active or l eg i s l at i ve Convocation, and he depre cated it as unprofitable for the reasons he had stated. HACKNEY CABS.—It is worthy of being impressed upon the attention of the public, that the new Act for regulating hackney carriages within the metropolitan police district requires the drivers of such carriages to give the hirer thereof, at the time of hiring, a ticket on which shall be printed in legible letters the words " Hackney carriage," and the number of the Stamp office plate fixed upon such carriage, in legible figures. The use of such tickets is obvious from the other words printed thereon—viz., reference in case of complaint, or for recovery of property left in the carriage. The com missioners of police cannot assist persons to recover such property unless they take this ticket to the police-office in Scotland-yard ; and if the driver shall not have de posited the property at the police-station, the ticket will enable the police to trace him, which they cannot be expected to do without the aid which the ticket affords. All persons hiring a hackney carriage should, therefore, demand the ticket before they get in, as, on arriving at railways, places of amusement, &c., they may easily for get to ask for one, or may neglect to take i t, even If offered by the driver.

(From the Times.) For some months past the labouring classes in this kingdom have been engaged in controversies with their employers on the subject of wages. These transactions have been generally compre hended under the designation of the " Strike Movement," but the phrase conveys no very accus rate idea of the proceedings. In the list of remon strants have been included on this occasion many classes of not persons usually ranked as "labour ers," while their representations have not, in all in. stances, been accompanied by those menaces which characterise what is called a " strike." Bodies of men under some degree of discipline, such as the police, and in the receipt of good regular salaries, have made formal applications for an increase of these salaries ; and throughout the country gene rally there seems to have prevailed an idea that everybody was entitled to something more than he possessed. At the same time, these manifestations have been likewise attended by strikes of the genu ine old description, and large numbers of men in the manufacturing districts are " standing out," as it is termed, at this moment. We may say, in short, that a period of remarkable prosperity has been distinguished by many of those social disputes which have heretofore been contingent upon finan cial embarrassments or stagnant trade. We do not mention this as any remarkable phenomenon, because everybody is perfectly aware of its nature and its origin. It is from the very excess of national prosperity that the demands in question have arisen. They have not been sug gested by any suffering or pressure, and, although the prospects of the harvest have excited some un easiness, nothing like scarcity can yet be felt or even predicted. People seldom murmur by antici pation, and the fault indeed of the working classes lies on the side rather of improvidence than over anxiety. The very circumstances of these proceed ings indicate the novelty of their character. Not withstanding numerous " strikes," we have had no kind of disturbance. There have been no monster meetings—no street riots —no seditious harangues —no tumultuous processions —no appeals to pou lar sympathy—no cries of " Bread or Blood I" no musterings of troops—no sanguinely collisions. Some thousands of looms, we are told, are even now stopped in the neighbourhood of Manchester alone, and yet, with all these hands on the turn out, the manufacturing districts are as tranquil as the Brighton Downs. The truth is, that the work men are taking the upper hand. Instead of being overborne and straitened, they are experiencing, or at least assuming, such an improvement in their relative position as induces them to demand better terms for themselves. They think there is more money in the country than formerly and fewer men, so they make the most of labour against capital, and compound a good case, as they ima gine, out of the scarcity of the latter and the abun dance of the former. Nobody will deny t ea hatoperativ . es ought to par ticipate as fai r l y a s co prosperity, pi lists tsin e things th eresarulets all regulated but by immutable laws, and are beyond the power of either Emperors or Unions. No despotic decree, whether emanating from an Imperial Cabi net or a trades' committee-room, can permanently affect the remuneration of labour against the laws of trade. There are two conditions under which wages can be advanced—that is to say, either when a larger amount of profit is divisable among the same number of recipients, or when the same amount is divisible among a smaller number of recipients. In either of these cases wages will rise. An abundance of gold may indirectly operate to bring about the former condition, but, taken of itself; it affects the question but little, nor does it benefit a workman to receive two sovereigns in the place of one, if those two will only do in the way of purchase what one did formerly. Similarly, a scarcity of money or provisions may bear very hardly upon the operative, but it would not neces sarily give him a title to an increase of wages. This increase can only come out of profits, and if the workman's share of such profits happens to go a less way than usual in the purchase of necessaries, that is no fault of the trade. Now, at present can it be said that either of the two conditions required foran advance of wages have been actually fulfilled ? Have profits become larger, or workmen become fewer ? There is no doubt that trade has for some time past been generally thriving, and the first result of this prosperity— that is to say, abundance of employment, has been everywhere seen. But can this employment com mand higher remuneration ? In some cases perhaps it may. It is- not quite safe to argue from conces sions made to this effect by employers, for they occasionally yield against conviction rather than incur the risk of immediate stoppage, though such a proceeding in the end can only injure both par ties alike. Stil, upon the whole, we may conclude that some, at any rate, of the arrangements to the advantage of the operatives have been justified by the profits of business. On the other hand, there can be no question but the steady - stream of emi gration to the gold fields must have thinned in some degree the ranks of most classes of operatives, and rendered their labour of higher market value in proportion to the decrease o fiupply. We are, nevertheless, disposed to conclude that these causes, though fairly at work to a certain extent in producing the movement referred to, have been considerably less influential than a species of vague persuasion without any warrant at all. We believe many demands for increased wages have been made on the mere ground that they had been made by others, and on the general supposition that it was everybody's time to get more than before. Class after class has preferred its requisitions exactly as the operatives of Paris did during the brief ascendancy of M. Louis Blanc and his " Ministry of Labour.' Without any par ticular grievance, or any very definite aim, each trade and community in turn borrowed a drum and a flag, and marched off to the Hotel de Ville, or the Luxembourg, to get its share in what was imagined to be a redistribution of worldly advan tages. We are afraid many English work-people have been doing much the same, for it is impossible to assert that, as yet, provisions have become se riously dear, or gold ruinously cheap. On the contrary, corn is even now below what ten years ago was thought the lowest endurable price, and money is actually scarce instead of plentiful, as the proceedings of the Bank of England have shown. Certainly a sovereign will go at least as far as ever it would within recent times. We are compelled to believe that strike after strike has been made for no other reason than because everybody was "strik ing," and becau se an id ea was th us sprea d a b roa d Ot something was to be got. What, then, is to be done in such cases ? We think the best and most effectual course was pointed out in some excellent observations which we transcribed the other day from the Manchester Guardian. Masters should put themselves in readier and more amicable communication with their men. An Englishman is so open to plain, straightforward reasoning, and the truth in all these cases can be made so clear, that misunderstanding must almost always be the result of misinformation. directly from It cannot be too earnestly impr esse d on operatives of all descriptions that their wages flow from the capital of their employers, and this capital is absorbed or driven away their wag es must inevitably ceas e . In reality, th e ra t e of wage is not an optional matter with employers - within' certain limits it ca n ne i t h er be lowre nor ' raised except at their own peril. The employment of labour depends upon the demand for it ; its price, upon the supply. If the quantity of labour in the market gets less, its value will get greater, and this additional value will ultimately be paid by the public in the increased cost of the article produced. But to bring about this natural result there is no need of a " strike." It will come surely enough of itself, and could not be retarded by employers, even if it were their interest to retard it. The whole subject, in our opinion, affords remarkable evidence of the deficient understanding between the two classes engaged in production. In reality, questions like these are perfectly within the com prehensiond of operatives, if they arePe temperately argued—indeed, we have seenn. openly and temperately kind iron trade how agreeably differences of th is could be adjusted by mutual and c andid explana tion.es the In such a course we are convinced lies only tend can only road to safety, for indiscriminate concession,nyi no less than indiscriminate resistan ce, tend to ruin both parties together. SUPPLY OF BREAD TO THE FRENCH ARMY.—The Con stitutionnel has a long article on the recent regulations of the war department for the improvement of th• qua lity of the bread made for the army, by carrying the bolting process to a greater extent, and thus depriving the flour of a larger quantity of bran than has hitherto been taken from it. Our readers will recollect that some time ago an order was issued that the soldiers should be permitted to purchase bread at the bakers' shops, an al lowance being made to them for that purpose ; but this has been found inconvenient, as it would be necessary to vary the pay of the troops according to the variation in the price of bread, and the system of baking for the army has been agai n resorted to. The Consta . utto . nne/ approves highly of the last orders of the war depart ment, and says that by reducing the quantity of bran in the flour, the bread becomes more digestible, and con sequently t i is ed . curious fact, that a v se e q ry u edni t ir ly er m en o t r o e p w in h i o o les ni o s m e ter in England.

It states that the bran absorbs a large quantity of water, which is not driven off by the baki ng p rocess, and consequently the nutritive properties of bread containing an excess of bran are di minished.—Gaignani.
