SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sm., &c. NI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on W the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro !need more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is namely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting thi. , department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT hould first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-colotred engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habitsl and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —A lady presented herself to know whether there was any redress for an imposition to which she had been subjected. She was induced, by means of a bill which had come under her notice informing her that a grea4 bankrupt sale was to take place at the St.. George Hall of Corn inerce, Maddox-street, where no ends of bargains in shawls, dresses, and all kinds of female finery, were to be picked up, to pay a visit to the place, and to become the purchaser of a satin dress for two guineas warranted worth twenty, which she lead just ascertained would be dear in any respectable shop at fifteen shillings. After she had paid for her bargain, a shawl was shown to her warranted real cashmere, the trade lu•ice of which was 251., but as the article must be sold and money must be had, a large sacrifice would be made for cash. She re fused to make the purchase on the ground that three guineas was the extent of the sum she would be disposed to invest in the purchase of such an article. With an apparent show of reluctance the owner of the real cash mere consented to make a tremendous sacrifice and to let her have the twenty-five guinea cashmere for three guineas. Applicant had soon. afterwards ascertained that she had obtained a trumpery imitation shawl at double its trade value. She wished to know whether she could punish the parties for having taken her in or whether she could by any process get back her money. Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, said he feared her case was without remedy. The deception that had been practised on her was not an offence either at common or statute law. She had made an open purchase. She had seen the property with her ewn eyes, and had parted with her money voluntarily. Under those circumstances he even doubted whether any remedy would be afforded by the County Court.

We publish the subjoined in addition to what appeared in our first edition of yesterday : INDIA. THE NORTH-WEST.—The accounts from the North-Western Provinces are conflicting, but from all that we can gather, it would seem as if Govern ment were making preparations to put an effectual stop to the constant troubles which the several tribes have been giving us of late. The Governor- General has authorised the raising of a new police battalion of 700 strong for service on the Derajat frontier, to be armed with percussion muskets. All the police beyond the Indus are to be similarly equipped as quickly as the order can possibly be carried into effect. The prompt measures thus being adopted lead us to suspect that Government anticipates some disturbances on the Derajat fron tier during the next cold weather. An order has also gone up country to abolish the Scinde camel corps. The men are to be re-entered as light infantry, and are to be armed with rifles. They are to bear the title of the " Scinde Corps ;" rifles and ammunition are to be dispatched forthwith for their use. CABUL.—Accounts received from Cabul mention ;hat Shah Jan Khan, son of the Amir, is engaged in a war with the Ghilzais, at Mookur, and that Allah Dad Khan and Mir Dad Khan, the ambas sadors lately dispatched to the King of Persia, had proceeded to Cabul, by the Hazara road. The re sult of their embassy has not been made public. There was a rumour that a Persian agent had arrived at Candahar, the object of whose visit is said to be to warn the chiefs against failing to act in opposition to the King's orders. We hear that Major R. R. W. Ellis, political agent in Bundel cund, has satisfactorily arranged the disputes con sequent on the demise of the late Benaik Rao. The cantonment is dispersed, and the people gave up their guns and arms is a quiet orderly manner. These are to be broken up and sent into Banda, as may be most advisable, and measures are in pro gress to insure the settlement of arrears of pay to the soldiery preparatory to their discharge. We regret to learn by letters from neighbouring stations that sickness is very rife, and has already compelled several civil officers to apply for leave of absence. BURMAH.—The following is from a correspon dent at Rangoon :—" I wish you would notice pro minently in the Burkaru our almost defenceless state here, for I believe that with no other Euro pean power would so much apathy and procrastina tion have taken place as has been exhibited in our military arrangements since the annexation of Pegu. The Pagoda Plateau, which is the Fort William or stronghold of Pegu, remains in almost the same state as we got it, surrounded with houses and pagodas that would afford excellent cover to an enemy, and intercept even the range for common canister from our guns, and this whilst cooly labour is abundant and cheap, and the ser vices of many engineer officers remain unemployed, and have so remained for a long time past. Every one censures and feels it a slur upon our military reputation, but no one appears to know where the blame lies."—Bengal Hurkaru, August 31. RANGOON.--" We are told to expect the Gover nor-General here on board the Zenobia in all this month.

The Pekin Gazette of the 3d of August contains a report from Toh-wing-a, Se-ling-a, and Sheu-luh, detailing various successes over the rebels at K'hae fung-foo. When the insurgents fled from K'hae fung, they were pursued by the eavary under the two first-named officers, who caught and decapi tated a great number. On the Ist of July they pursued them to Sze-shwuy, when the rebels made for the fords of the Yellow River, and attacked the Imperialists on the east and west of a double hill, found there ; in the battle that ensued the Impe rialists killed 300 of the enemy, who, being re duced to extremity, sought to get on board their vessels, when a north-westerly wind arose and prevented their getting under weigh ; where upon the Imperialists opened a fire upon them, and killed the whole of them, a large number having been driven into the water. After this 13 of the enemy's vessels were burnt, and a large quantity of military stores taken, together with 50 prisoners, among the rest 4 chiefs, wearingyellow jackets and red caps, who were immediately beheaded. At this time Shen luh came up with the infantry, and killed 200 more. On the 2d of July the rebels again ad vanced from the double hill to the attack, when the Imperialists killed 100 more, and captured a score, while they destroyed three of the enemy's vessels and burnt ten. The Emperor, on hearing this, says that, as the thieves are now reduced to the last extremity, especial care must be taken to exterminate them, and particularly to prevent their seizing vessels and crossing the Yellow River. They must also not be allowed to make themselves masters of its banks. The Emperor comforts him self with the idea that two Tartar generals, with a large force, are on the march to the north bank of the Yellow River, where they will give the rebels a warm reception. He further orders the civil and military officers in charge of K'hae-fung to exert themselves immediately to exterminate the rebels on the south side of the river, and then, says he, we have no doubt but that this insignificant band of robbers will, without difficulty, be swept away from the face of the earth. The Gazette, of the 9th August, gives the details of an unsuccessful attack on Yang-chow, reported by K'e-shen. The assigned cause of its failure was the want of co-operation on the part of others. That officer has made repeated assaults, and directed Shwang-lae to bombard the city wall with his largest cannon. On Ist August an opportunity presented itself, and Shwang-lae passed the stream on wooden rafts. Planting his soldiers, his forces ascended the walls. With him were troops from y e e it mh y ill . ea-nl T es. Th he rebels op ene d a cannona d e offtr e e y m kill iss e il d es i b n u m r l i m t innumerable Kr h e o a i t s- e s s ,uh i a n nad t n h d e b from towers on the wall, and set on fire some wooden houses beneath. The flames burning fiercely, our soldiers could do nothing. General Shwang-lae lost two teeth . by a gun-shot, which struck his left jaw. Chin-kin-show, with a part of his troops, mounted the walls with ladders, but the greater part of the army did not respond to the shouts for aid, and those on the wall were obliged to descend again. The Emperor praises Shwang lae as having acted in the bravest manner. It was through the failure of the troops on the western side to arrive in time that Yang-chow was not re captured. Ch'in-kin-chow is deprived of his rank for his want of generalship. K'e-shen is also de prived of his office, but retained to discharge its duties. _ _ _ _ A dispatch has also been received from Toh ming-a, and Shen-luh, detailing a succession of victories by them in Honan. The rebels in pos session of Sze-shwuy (a district city 60 or 70 Eng lish miles to the west of K'ae-fung, further up the Yellow River) planted artillery within the walls to defend themselves. The generals already named advanced to attack them on the 2d August, in several divisions, partly Tartar and partly Chinese. The rebels seeing the danger to be feared from the cannon and musketry, attempted to escape by the east gate. On this, the Manchus from Meih-yun, near Feking, opened a rapid are, and, making NG, OCTOBER 29, 1853. determined onset, killed many of the rebels. The latter retired into the city. At the same time the Manchu forces from Suy-ygen-ching, in Shame) stormed the north gate, and, in company with the cavalry from the Amour, fought their way into the city. On the south-west corner of the city wall the troops also commenced a cannonade, and the rebels, seeing that the soldiers were a hundred times more fierce than they, ;opt out by the west gate, losing by the Amour ca lry 500 or 6QO men. Toh-min;-a again led on' the Manchus and Chinese infantry, and kill e d ore than 1,000 of 14 3 the rebels, who were purs ue d they escaped by our cavalry ' • 400 or 500 fell ino the river and were drowned. Altogether, more than 2,000 were killed. More than 50 prisoners were taken, who were immediately put t o d ea th. T wo seals of office were taken, a rebel general, a large yellow and white banner, twenty-the large flags of officers, and more than twenty smaller ones. The spoils of bullets, powder, arms, and horses was immense. On the 3d August they commenced another fire on the rebels from the southern bank. More than 100 were killed, and 10 or 20 long tailed men made prisoners. At the hills and streams on the north west there remained no more rebels. The Emperor, recapitulatini;;;;s it gives him the most profound delight to pursue such a dis patch, and to find that one of his soldiers can match a hundred of their adversaries. Toh-ming-a is rewarded with a variegated feather, a white jade feather case, &c. Seling-a, having still some further faults to answer for, must wait till he has obtained more victories, and then with Shen-luh he shall share the imperial favoar. The generals must take advantage of the military prestige they have thus acquired to cross the river, and pursue and overtake the remaining robbars, which will be an easy task. Meritorious men and officers are to be reported by Tehming-a, after ?roper inquiry, to the Emperor, that they may be rewarded. --China Herald, Aug. 27th. SHIPPING. ARRIVALS PROM GREAT BIITAIN.

We are but in embryo as yet, and the hewing and quarrying must precede the plastering and finishing off. I would particularly caution young men who have received a scientific education against hastily emigrating to a colony where there is little or no demand for their ser vices. A few engineers of first-rate ability would find a field for exertion ; but young gentlemen who have served their time' are utterly useless, and their only resource is the bush or the diggings, both about as melancholy a prospect for them as can be conceived. Farmers' sons, and young country gentlemen wh o are a b ur d en to themselves and their families, may do well. The m who has nothing more than a college education is a fool to come here, unless with well-defined and well studied objects to carry out. Clerks and lawyers are at a woful discount. - Literary men for the most part starve. To these three classes of people may emphatically be applied the old proverb : 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.'" The following wholesale price -current contains the last commercial news from Melbourne, of the 18th of July : " Since our last summary, by the Chusan, at the be ginning of this month, we can scarcely quote any very important alteration. We then noticed particularly the great decline which had taken place in prices since our former advices, and we have only to add that we cannot quote any improvement. "The accumulation of stock is a point of much im portance for the consideration of those at a distance, and therefore we have taken the trouble to ascertain how these stand, so far as bonded goods are concerned —the only articles, of course, in which we can arrive at anything like accurate data. QUANTITY OF BONDED GOODS IN WAREHOUSE AND ENTERED FOR WAREHOUSE, JULY 5, 1853. SPIRITS. Casks of all kinds. Cases.

Wine and tea, small supply ; coffee, nil. We do not profess to describe the quality of kinds, either of the spirits or tobaCco ; but the quantity, we believe, is rather under than over estimated, and there- fore may be depended on. The supply of other goods it is difficult to arrive at, but the following note of our imports of flour, for the year ending the 30th of June last, and the comparison we give at the same time of the quantities imported for the year ending the 30th of June, 1852, may be interest ing, as enabling people at a distance to calculate our wants in this particular respect :-- Year ending Year ending 30th June, 30th June, 1853. 1852. AUSTRALIA. In addition to what we published yesterday from Australia, the following has been received per the Argo. From Sidney, August 9th, a correspondent of a morning contemporary writes : " Those politicians who pay particular attention to colonial affairs will be somewhat startled at the intelligence which this mail conveys. Just as the Chusan fired her farewell gun, Mr. Wentworth laid upon the table of the Legislative Council the report of the select committee appointed to prepare a new constitution for the colony. This report recom mends not only that an Upper House be created, to be nominated by the Crown for life, but that hereditary titles should be conferred, together with hereditary rights of legislation. The idea is bor rowed from Mr. Pitt's bill for the better govern ment of Quebec, passed in the year 1791. After all that has been said upon the subject of colonial peerages, after Mr. Gibbon Wakefield's and Dr. Lang's writings, and the various little pamphlets and heavy debates which this pet scheme has occa sioned of late years, it is, to say the least of it, rather remarkable that the Legislature of New South Wales, which Lord Grey seems to consider in the light of a revolutionary body, should deliberately propose the creation of a noblesse in Australia. The scheme is not to establish a house of heredi tary legislators like the House of Lords, but to ennoble a certain number of individuals, who, in time to come, shall elect an Upper House from their own order. Of the features of the report, I may mention that it proposes to maintain the pre sent distribution of the electoral distiicts ; but, on the other hand, it extends the franch o iseto persons receiving a salary of 1001. a year, or c ,.p f lying 101. a year for lod g i ng , o r 401. a ye ar a c boardand lodging. It a l so a b o li s hes prop er ty'" qualification for members of the Representative Assembly, every voter being qualified to be elected. lam credibly informed That, on the subject of the electoral dis tricts, the report will be modified in the House. At present the new interests which have arisen out of the gold discovery are entirely unrepresented, and the preponderance of the squatters' influence is so great as virtually to swamp the opinions of the popular members, and render their efforts at reform entirely nugatory. A preliminary meeting, to protest against the new constitution scheme, was held on Monday last at the Royal Hotel, at which between 400 and 500 people attended, and speeches were delivered by several gentlemen of respecta bility and influence. Were it not that Mr. Went worth is bent upon taking home the new con stitution this year, I should almost be inclined to think that it would be thrown over till next session ; but I believe the honourable gentle man's influence, combined with that of the Go vernment, will be sufficient to get a bill passed embodyin g the leading features of the report. An united effort is being made to form a Church of England college in connection with the University of Sydney. Many persons have held aloof from this movement, on account of the want of religious instruction in the University. It would take more space than you would be willing to afford to explain the particulars, and it may be sufficient to say that the difficulties have been overcome, and the college will be established. A salary of 5001. a year will be given to the principal by the Government. It may not be out of place to say a few words of warning to the better class of persons desiring to emigrate to these colonies. Nothing can be more melancholy than to observe the feelings of disap pointment, and almost of despair, with which gen tlemen and ladies, accustomed to the comforts, the delicacies, and the decencies of life in England, con template the realities with which they have to deal on first arriving in the land of gold. I have had opportunities of conversing with many of these, and the infatuation which they appear to have been labouring under before leaving home is almost in credible. They literally came out with the notion that gold was to be picked up in the streets ; and they find, on the contrary, that in no place under the sun must they work harder and endure more to get bread than in a new colony. The first two years of an educated emigrant's life are full of bit terness, full of struggle, and full of disappointment. I speak from perso na l and recent experience. In nine cases out of ten he has to begin life de novo in a situation relatively far inferior to that which he may have left in England, whilst his wife must descend to the duties of the lowest menial if she would keep things together at all. Soft hands that erewhile rattled over the brilliant notes of Collard's grand piano, now exhibit signs suggestive of the scrubbing-brush and wash-tub. Fair faces, which at home inspired love and admiration, acquire a bronzed and freckled aspect, which, though indi cative of robust health and hard work, is but little calculated to charm the beholder. On the other other hand, however, there is the promise, the certainty, of future independence ; and after the first regrets have been smothered, and homesick ness supplanted by improving prospects, the mind becomes accustomed to the change. Insensibly, an interest in the country grows up. One by one the recollections of home fade away, and nothing remains but a mellow memory of happy days gone by, and, perchance, a restless feeling of impatience and almost disgust when an English newspaper is opened, and the thought of what we might have done at home flashes for a moment across the brain. Expatriation is no light thing, even to a golden land ; but he who will become a hero—he who is capable of crushing the softer emotions of his being, and of firmly encountering the rough . nesses of life in the physical and moral wilderness — 'that man will succeed. It will not be long before he finds fields of usefulness and opportunities of noble exertion opening up before him, which, if availed , of in a sober and hard-working spirit, will soon raise him to a place in life which all the advan tages of his native land can never procure for him. 1 Far different, however, is the effect of emigration upon the labourer. To him, the colony is imme diately and essentially a great improvement upon the country he has left. He misses very little that he has ever held dear ; whilst highly-paid em ployment, and constant opportunities of pushing 1 his fortunes, only wait his acceptance. Here he 1 has no anxieties—no struggle. All is smooth, all i' prosperous, provided he be steady and avoid the , I public-house. The colony, which, to the refined, appears at first sight a pandemonium, is to the Worldng-man a paradise. The moral of this is to Total Tons.. 23,093 15,080 From this table it will be perceived that America has sent us no less than 9,036 tons during the last 12 months, against only eight tons in the preceding year ; while the imports from the neighbouring colonies have actually decreased in this article to the extent of upwards of 3,000 tons. This is rather a striking commentary upon the effects of gold as respects the cultivation of the important article of food ; and the fact will appear still mere striking when we mention that in 1851 there were under cultivation in this colony no less than 29,733 acres of wheat, yielding about 740 tons of flour, which had decreased last year (1852) to 16,823 acres under culti vation, yielding only about 420 tons of flour. Here we have a decrease in the supply from the neighbouring colo nies of 3,000, and a decrease on our own yield of 320 tons ; to compensate for which we have the enormous imports from America and other ports, to which we have already alluded. The quantity of these foreign supplies has certainly been great of late, but they have been removed by shipments of inferior qualities to England, and of other and larger quantities to Sydney and other colonial ports. No less than from 20,000 to 30,000 barrels has found an outlet in this manner during the last two months, and, in consequence, the market has been much relieved. At present, though it is very difficult to form an estimate, it is pretty generally believed that the quantity of all kinds on hand exceeds considerably 100,000 barrels ; but great as this supply is, we see no reason to conclude that it very far exceeds what we shall be able to take off, within reasonable limits ; and we do not consider that there is any ground as yet for fancying, as many do, that stocks have reached that extent when they begin to be oppressive. The former opinion seems to gain ground, for stocks are held firmer within the last week, and large holders are now very considerably advancing their demands. Colo nial is held firm at 301., and tiOs. per barrel we know has been refused for American, though small lots have changed hands at lower prices. Other breadstuffs have also experienced rather an improvement. Oats in Mel bourne are quoted at about 14s. per bushel. Maize and bran are likewise firmer, though oatmeal continues at a very low rate. In referring under this Price Current List to the ordinary articles of the trade, we may remark that provisions, groceries, bacon and hams still continue without improvement. The latter particularly are difficult of sale at any price, and, when forced, as they must be, sales are effected at ruinous rates. Oilmen's stores, pickles, preserves, &c., come under a similar category with the above, being also diffi cult of sale even at low rates. Sugar and tea are quoted the same as last week, though the latter seems rather to be on the rise, and must go up if disturbances continue in China. Coffee has rather fallen this week. Spices and fruits maintain former quotations. Soft goods, if we may be allowed to use the expres sion, are the heaviest stocks in the market, and are therefore moved off with great difficulty. When forced which at present is too common, they do not generally realise cost prices. Boots and shoes, from the large arrivals, have also fallen and continue to fall, though their sale is also very much hurt by the great quantity of useless and worthless stock which has been recently introduced into the colony. Building materials are scarcely so high, though still in great demand. Like everything else, it is quite pos sible even to overwhelm this demand ; but though the quantities arriving are great, and will probably check the utterly extravagant rates that have lately ruled, we have no expectation that prices can possibly, at least not for a long time, fall anything below a handsome remune ration to those who ship judiciously. Hardware goods present little room for observation. They are difficult of sale, and consequently, as we have already said, are accumulating largely. There are few articles so much requiring the opening of the spring trade. Iron maintains good prices, and so do lead, oil, and whitening. 285 11,325 10 14,855 RAILIVAI7 INTELLIGENCE. DEMERARA RAILWAY. The half•yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. Sir J. R. Carmi chael in the chair. Mr. W. B. Cole, the secretary, read the report. It stated that " ➢lr. Cameron, the newly-appointed general manager, arrived in the colony in June last, and to him was entrusted the important duty of inspecting the several routes which had been suggested for continuing the line to Mahaica ; and in making his report thereon he considered it desirable to submit a new route, by which the large bridge over the Mahaica Canal might be dispensed with, the radius of the curve considerably enlarged, and the terminus placed at the foot of the Ma haica Bridge, in the centre of the estates on the creek, on the high road to Berbice, and at a convenient dis tance from several populous villages in the neighbour hood. Under these circumstances, the directors re commend— " 1. That the line now proposed by Mr. Cameron be adopted, and that the works be forthwith commenced, providing the colonial legislature approve of the same. " 2. That the sum of 20,0001. be borrowed under the authority of ordinance No. 17, 1853, which is entitled ' An ordinance to guarantee interest, not exceeding 51. per cent, per annum, upon any sum not exceeding 20,0001., to be expended upon the completion of the rail way from Belfield to the village of Mahaica.' "The capital account shows that 175,000 i. was paid by the proprietors of o.uginal stock, 18,0001. on prefer ence shares, and that the company have power to bor row 102,0001., together 295,000/. of which 37,0001. has not been exercised. The expenditure amounted to the Ist October to 223,4761., leaving 5001. towards the sink ing fund for redemption of mortgage, and a nominal balance of 71,024/. It is estimated that the total cost of completing the railway to Mahaica will be 253,0111., leaving a balance of 41,9881. to the credit of the autho rised capital of 295,0001." The Ch AIRMAN moved the adopti on o f th e repor t . Arr. Davis seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to raise 2,0001. 01, Lunn guniattLeta in terest at 5 per cent. per annum, by the colonial govern ment of British Guiana. The CHAIRMAN stated that they did not wish to force the loan on the market, but they would submit it to public tender, and he had no doubt that sonic of tho assurance companies would take it up. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceed TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Mlles opened, 1853. NAME OF RAILWAY. BRITISH. Belfast and Ballymena ..............

The subscribers bad kept their own councils up to the moment of the pre sentation, so that the testimonial, as well as the neat speech with which it was introduced by George Faunloe, Esq., was as unexpected as it was gratifying. The piece of plate was accompanied by an inscription to the fol lowing effect :—" To William Foster White, Esq.

ADDITIONAL STI?IKES IN LANCASHIRE, - w• There is reason to believe that the number of opera tives on strike in the cotton districts has now been in creased to between 60,000 and 70,000. Taking the number out of employment at Preston to be 25,000, and those in Wigan at 5,000, we have now to add to them 15,000 in the Bacup district, and 20,000 at Burnley and Padiham, making a total of 65,000. Besides these there are 1,000 hands on strike at Bury, and several thousand (including dyers) at Manchester. Altogether, there fore, the number out of work is little short of 70,000. The Bacup district includes the townships of Bacup, Newchurch, Ra.wtenstall, Sharnford, and Shavrtorth. At these places about 33 mills, including some of the largest concerns in the manufacturing districts, were stopped by the masters on the 20th inst., under circum stances analogous to those which have brought about the lock-out at Preston. There are only four other mills in that district, and they stop this (Saturday) evening. The class of goods manufactured in this district are mostly those which are taken for export, including ma dapollams, light T-cloths, and shirtings, of India qua lities ; but there are some producers also of the better class of domestics, such as are taken by the home trade. Good sheeting cloths are also made by one or two houses there. The employers had a meeting on Wednesday, at which, however, nothing was done with a n y v i e w to re sume work, and an adjournment took place until the 23d of November. A meeting of operatives was held the same evening, when they were addressed by dele gates from other towns, and some flattering statements were made to buoy up their spirits. Among other things it was stated that Sir John Tyrell, M.P., had sent to the operatives on strike at Preston a cheque for 5001. A rumour was industriously spread at the meeting, also, that the Earl of Derby had promised 2,0001. At Burnley the mills stopped yesterday. An overture was made by seine of the workmen at one mill with a view to accommodation, but they were informed that the employers did not meet again till the 19th of November, and that in the meantime individual firms did not pos sess the power to negotiate for a resumption of labour. The number of mills now closed at Barnsley is 58, and some of them are very extensive establishments. At Padiham all the mills stopped yesterday but two. Of those continuing at work the principal one is that of Mr. Waddington ; the other, is a co-operative establish ment, having about 300 looms only, and 120 workpeople. Various classes of fabrics are produced at Burnley, in cluding a considerable quantity of printing cloths. At Accrington, the centre of another district, the em ployers had a meeting on Thursday, when it appeared that a portion of them were disposed to close their mills, but the proposal met with some opposition, and the pro ceedings were adjourned for a week. The fabrics made here include a good many of the better class of jacconets, such as are used for home consumption, shirtings, for the same trade, and domestics. The disposition of the employers here is to close rather than run at the in creased wages, because, at present market prices, they have no prospect of continuing at a profit. As the hands at one of the mills at Accrington were leaving , work on 'Wednesday evening some of them took advan tage of the confusion and the partial darkness arising from a great portion of the gaslights having been extin guished, to draw knives across the warps of unfinished pieces of cloth in the looms, thus seriously damaging the property of their employers. Under these circumstances the millowners refused to allow the engine to start next morning, unless the operatives would disclose the names of the offenders and pay the damage. About half the workpeople agreed to pay their share, but the others demurred, and had not been allowed to resume work on Thursday, the date of our l as t account. At Bury the operatives out of work are chiefly in the fustain trade, and amount to about 1,000, but the em ployers of a large number of other cotton spinners and weavers have given notice to their hands of a lock out unless they discontinued their contributions to those out of work' in their own town and at Preston. Of the hands out of employ it appears 900 are entitled ;o payment from the Trades Union. It appears that the subscription in Bury last week for the turnouts amounted to 1691. 11d. ; from which 4s. 6d. each was paid to 652 weavers, and 2s. each to 184 tenters. MINERS' RIOT AT WIGAN. SATURDAY MORNING.—Last night there was a riotous assemblage of miners at Wigan. The lights were put out, and many windows were broken. Troops were sent for, and arrived at one o'clock this morning. All quiet. PRESTON. FRlDAY.—Another body of men, who have been deprived of the means of subsistence by the closing of the mills, namely, the overlookers of power-looms, have just published an address, in which they throw themselves upon the sympathy of the public. Yesterday afternoon the throstle spinners had a meeting at the Marsh. The members of this branch of the cotton trade are almost in a state of destitution. In conclusion, the speaker urged upon his hearers to be united amongst themselves, and to observe the law. The meeting then dispersed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.--Thomas Lawrance, a shopman in the employ of Mr. G. Willis, bookseller, of Covent garden Piazza, was charged with stealing books to the value of 301. The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor about five months, at a salary of a guinea and a half p er week. A number of volumes had been missed, from time to time, and among them a handsomely-bound copy of " Cunningham's Songs of Scotland," respecting which Mr. Willis caused a strict inquiry to be made through out his establishment. About a week ago the prosecu tor happened to have some conversation with Mr. B us h , bookseller, of 1, Leicester-square, in the course of which Mr. Bush stated that he had lately purchased a copy of this work, and that it was re-purchased of him by the same party almost immediately afterwards. Mr. Willis, suspecting that this had probably been done by one of his young men, in consequence of the c omp l a i nts he had made in reference to the missing volume, obtained the assistance of Mr. Bush in endeavouring to find out the name and address of the person with whom the negotia tion had taken place. A number of other volumes had been brought to Mr. Bush by the prisoner's wife, and eventually it was ascertained that " Cunningham's Songs" had been sold and re-purchased by the direction of the prisoner, who, to destroy all means of identifying the book, had taken off the covers, and had it re-bound by a bookbinder in Hatton-garden. After the discovery that the prisoner had employed his wife to sell books for him (under the pretence that he was authorised to do so), the pro secu t or and Sergeant Thomas, of the F divi sion, proceeded to the prisoner's lodgings, on a second floor in the Strand, and there found about 60 volumes belonging to Mr. Willis. The prisoner admitted that he had taken home " Southey's Works" and some others , merely to rea d, an d th at h e h a d sol d a set of ~ Scott 's Novels and P oe t r y," f or th e purpose o f raising a little money to meet a bill, fully intending to repay Mr. Willis for them at his earliest convenience. _ The above facts having been deposed to by the various witnesses, the prisoner said he should reserve his do fence. He was then committed for trial. --- WORSHIP-STREET.—Janas Grant, 18 years of ' age, was charged with wounding Wm. Boylen. nal The complainant, who exhibited extreme pin en suffering, and appeared with his head enveloped gical bandages, stated that the prisoner was an Y tice to his (witness's) employer, Mr. Bull, in w hose p no r use orphan he resided, and that the sister of witness, you. girl of weak intellect, had also been reciae4ivednlnto the family of his master, who had und.crtackt from chari lie death of her table motives, to provide for her his:ll:ister suddenly ab parents. On the previous day sented herself from the house, and on question her on her return as to the cause of her protracted absence, she burst into tears and refused for some time to satisfy hi s inquiries ; but after much difficulty he at length elicited from her that she had been out to purchase apo destroyacketo oxalic acid, with which it was her intentio n t herself. On bei n g p ressed to ex p lain her motives fur such conduct she informed him that While her master and mistress we re on a visit in the country about fou r months previous, the prisoner had taken a base advan tage of their absence, and effected her ruin, and finding that she was in a state of preo.nan to put an end to her existence. 0 hearing her cy, she h a d resolved On ment, witness instantly p r oceeded i n t o the workshop, state where he found the prisoner infamous conduct, which he' and upraided hi m w ith hi s made no attempt to deny, but treated the matter with such heartl ess levity and indifference that he vir was attempting to drag unable to control himself, and prisoner caught u him from his seat, when the which he struck 11 .1) a heavy wooden implement, with felled biro to the nu a terrible blow on the head, and ground in a state of insensibility.
