THE STRIKE.-MANCIIESTER.

The employers who have opened their shops at
Manchester report that a fair proportion of hands have
gone in on the new terms, and some have got their full
complement of engineers and mechanics. The police re-
turns give only one establishment out of the whole 46 u
closed entirely, and the number of operatives now at work,
as compared with the month preceding the strike, at 2,986
against 6,164. A Mr. J. Jones has twin in Manchester to
engage the Free Trade Hall, with ri view to lectur-
ing in it on the strike. He sent programmes to
both societies of masters and men, but it wu
difficult to gather his views from the document.
To the workmen of the Amalgamated Society he also sent
invitations, through a Mr. Pearson, to join in a procession,
stating that he would engage a brass band to head them,
and provide horses for such as chose to ride. The com-
mittee of the Amalgamated Society having considered the
communication returned the following reply to Mr. Pear-
son :—" Sir, the defence committee beg most respectfully
to decline the offer of Mr. Jones with reference to band,
procession, ilte. On behalf of the committee, FRANCIS
Doesos."—The committee also sent a deputation to Capt.
Willis, head constable of Manchester, stating that they had
taken this step, and that if any procession took place it
would not be with their concurrence.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The official report says :—London is suffering from
the same diseases as were noticed last week, and 1,124
deaths have been registered in the first seven dap of
August. The mortality is near the average of the first week
of the month, on which 801 persons died is 1843 and 1,909
in 1849, when the epidemic of Asiatic cholera was so fatal.
Sul hundred and filly-six children under 16 years of age,
299 men and women, and 166 persons of the age of 60 and
upwards, died in the week ; 697 were males and 627 females.
It thus appears, that though the had sewers and water tad
sir and impurity in London 'are moat fatal at a high tempe-
rature in early life, persons of the middic age do not (*APP.

Diarrhea was the cause of 213, cholera of 21 deaths ;,
16
children and 6 persons above the age of 13 died of cholera ;
191 children and 21 adults of diarrhea ; 16 of the eases of
cholera occurred on the north, 6on the south side of the
Thames.

In its leading symptoms the cholera which prevails at
present differs little from Asiatic cholera, but it is in Lon-
don Ices rapid in its course than Atiatie cholera, it is less
influenced by elevation of sod, it always prevails more or
less in summer, and comparatively (ow persons are attacked,
hence it is a variety which, for the sake of distinction, may
be called Bummer cholera.

Dr. Mseloughlin, an inspector duricg the epidemic of
1819, requests the 11egistrar-Oeneral to call the attention of
medical informant, to the importance of stating in all cases
how long premonitory symptoms of the approach of choler*
preceded the attack in its fatal form. No cares of diarrhrea
should be neglected in the present season. They should be
immediately treated.
Lost week the birt of 751 boys and 713 girls, in all
1,481 children, were lilkistered in London. The average
number is seven corresponding weeks of the years 151541
was 1,313.

At the Hoyal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer last week was 29.3;9 in. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 63.3 deg., which is 1.8 de:. higher
than the average of the same week in ten years. The mean
differer.ce between the dew point temperature and air
tempera.ure was 11.8 deg. ; although the air was dry, about
1 inch of rain fell in the same period ; and the direction of
the wind during the week was from the south and south-
went, with an average horizontal movement of rather more
than 116 miles each day.

SWITZERLAND.

The Ofrial Gazette of &Irv, of the 6th, states
that the telegraphic lines of Switzerland aro shortly
to be opened to the public, and that the union of
these lines with the 'Curio and Chambery line has
been agreed upon at Geneva. The point of union is
said to be Annecy. It is believed that the Turin

ROMAN STATES.

Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 4th of
August, contradicts a rumour prevalent in Rome that
the triumvir Calandralli had escaped from the
fortress of Ancona, in company with Edward Mur-
ray. A murder was committed in Anoona on the
28th ult., two hours after a murderer had been pub-
licly shot.
The Papal government had doubled the export
duty on oak timber, which is wholly consumed in

CLERKENWELL.

On Monday, • communication was forwarded to Mr.
Conic, from Mr. Ryan, the surgeon of the Royal Free
Hospital, to the effect that Allen, the injured man, who
had been stabbed by James Head, his stepson, was in so
drigerous a state, that it would be necessary for the magis-
trate and his clerk to attend at the hospital to take down
his deposition.
They accordingly proceeded to the hospital, and the
wounded man having been sworn, said that on Sunday
night last the prisoner came home tipsy with a young woman.
Witness and the prisoner had previously been on good
terms. They quarrelled together in consequence of the
prisoner calling his sisters foul 11111110. Witness said he
would not have such names used in his place, and ordered
him out. The prisoner swore at him, and threatened to
ran him through with • knife if ho acted to put him out.
Witness went down stairs, and saw something in the pri-
soner's band, which turned out to he a knife, which he held
up and showed him several times, and threatened to stab
him. Witness went to get his drover's stick to defend him-
self, and the prisoner then struck at him several times.
Witness did not feel anything at the time, but almost imme-
diately afterwards he found the blood gushing from his
side. This happened outside the house. Witness never
struck the prisoner before. He had several times threat-
ened to plunge the knife into witness. Hen struck the
prisoner with the stick.
The witness was very faint, and is still in imminent
danger.

TILE NORTH AMERICAN

TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS.

Stu,—The American fisheries dispute will upset
the Derby administration, and I should not be at all
.urprised to find that the United States government
authorised the American fishermen to arm and defend
themselves when attacked in their long existing
calling. It is not likely that 20,000 resolute men,
such as the American fishermen are, will submit
quietly to be deprived of their means of subsistence,
to which they have a prescriptive right. Once let
an affray take place between the Americans and
British and vengeance will fall, as it ought to fall,
on the present government, for provoking this die-
pnte. 'rho grievance of the Canadian colonists was
a stereotyped one. The rights which it as-
sumed for the colonists have been lost for
want of usage. The Americans will claim
according to the wise old Dutch custom in this
country, their " right of way ;" you cannot shut up a
path or a road in England after it has been traversed
publicly for a certain period. Common sense and
common necessity will sometimes override the strict
letter of the law. Depend upon it, air, my country-
men will understand why the present government is
provoking an antipathy between the British and
American nations. I happened to be in Southampton
when the late election was going on there, and I ,
heard ono of the candidates—a Mr. Bailie Cochrane,
who went the whole hog for Lord Derby—say
that the great object of the Derby administration
was "to stem the tide of democracy." Yes, Mr.
Editor, and to encourage the inroad of despotism.
What is meant by stemming the tide of democracy is
stopping the progress of the people towards in-
creasing liberty and happiness. How the Emperors
of Russia and Austria would rejoice, if they could
see the two great nations who welcomed Kossuth
engaged, through the agency of my Lord of Malmo,-
bury, in a bloody and desperate warfare. But the
cod fishery in the Bay of Fundy must not—cannot—
involve England and America in actual war; but it
will ensure the fall—even if no other came ensured
it—of the Derby government.

GOLD IN NOVA SCOTIA.

The following, from the SP. John, New Brunswick,
News, is additional news respecting the discovery of
gold in Nova Scotia :
We saw • letter from Annapolis, addressed toe gentleman
in this city, on Monday, which says that a returned Cali-
, fornien and several persons proceeded a few days since, with
Lpicks and shovels, to explore for gold, since an invitation
ad been held oat to them from Blackwood. They accord-
ingly came to a certain place in the valley of the Annapolis,
and, after digging a hole big enough for • child to tumble
in, the Californian brought to light a handful of gravel
mixed with particles of gold. The whole company looked
upon the auriferous handful %SY eager delight; and, with-
out further hesitation, each concluded that his fortune was
made. While examination was going on, another of the
company seized his pickaxe and made a dreadful blow at a
large rock near by, and brought out • piece with
small particles of gold aAhocias to it. The com-
pany, after making these discoveries, split es. hatd as
they could for the wiliest to ascertain of the watchmaker
(it seems that there is only one watchmaker in Annapols)
whether what they had found was real gold, or only mica.
The watchmaker got his crucibles in working order, and,
after chemically testing the stiff, it turned out (says the
writer) to he the real thing, according to the best knowledge
and belief of the watchmaker. Some of the good folks of
Annapolis, however, think that the Californian had been
playing • trick—that he dropped the gold dust into the hole
himself among gravel for the fun of the thing. The gold
seekers, on the other hand, don't believe • word of this,
for the best proof they have that there is no imposition
praeised is the piece of rock which "Jem" broke off with
his own hands. The whole town and county of Annapolis
are in one blaze of excitement. The people are all satisfied
that the country abounds in gold, and great preparations
are making for the diggings. Our hardware dialers need
not be surprised if they receive orders for all the pickaxes
and shovels they can supply. A steamer was advertised in
our streets on Monday " For the gold digginp." As soon
as we learn any more news from the diggings we shall lay
it before our readers. The above may be relied upon.

Reporter (Whitby, Games at), July 17.

In the sitting of the Volkathing at Copenhagen on
the 13th, M. Moored put his questions to the minister
relating to a passage in the late decree on the fun-
damental law. Tho finance minister, in the absence
of the president of the council front indisposition
stated the opinion of the Council of State on the
matter, as follows :
The council are of opinion that the reserve made in the
fundamental law does not confer on the King the right of
making changes in that law in any other manner than in
coaforraity with the 106th section, and the sainewith re-
&poet to change, to be effected in consequence of the royal
manifesto of Jan. 28, 1862."
With this reply M. Monad expressed himself per-
fectly satisfied.

ALLEGED ESCAPE FROM THE AMAZON.

The Daily News (and other papers) of this morn-
ing publishes the following intelligence, received by
electric telegraph from its Southampton correspon-
dent, and of which no further particulars or con-
firmation have been received up to tho hour of going
to press:

Intelligence bee been received hero from i?or.
cheater, that two men, named Thomas Sergeant and Allen,
l g to the Amazon, landed yesterday, Wednesday,
at kNO4assert usouth. They that they were picked aby
a Thresh vessel after floating about, with two others (who
perished from cold), for two days upon a life-buoy. Ser-
geant states they were not far from the Amason
when she blew up, and that a piece of the
wreck struck Allen on the shoulder, and that
be thought be was killed. Allen is said to have the mark
apes his shoulder now. The above is the substance of the
details which have just been telegraphed from Dorchester
to this piece. The statements have been made in the pre-
sence el highly respectable persons in Weymouth and Dor-
chester, who are strongly impressed with its truth.
The list of names of those missing by the Amazon has
been carefully. looked over, but neither Sergeant nor Allen
is found therm. It is not improbable, however, that the
men have shipped under assumed names.
The news is scarcely credited in Southampton, and will
require further investigation to establish its authenticity.

by holders, and purchases could hardly be made so well as
on Monday.
The bulk of the Barley which remained over unsold at the
beginning of the week, was cleared off to-day, without any
further concession in price.
There was a steady sale for Oats at former prices.

though it now appears he did bass that way;

he intended to pies that way. But the
Admiralty, so incredulous of the probable and true,
hearkens greedily after the adventurous. A story of
a carrier pigeon from Sir JOHN Ross, or • balloon
from the FRANKLIN expedition—though they knew it
had no balloons on board—leads at once to the
appointment of what may be called a commission of
inquiry. It would not surprise us to learn that they
had gravely investigated the story of the clairvoyant
who pretended to have seen the missing ships. The
truth is that the Admiralty does not act, but spends
its time listening to gong). And, like Virtuosos
of the time of MARTINI:B ScalNl rage, tho more
improbable, ill-vouched for, and childish a story is,
the more ready are the lawyers at the Admiralty
to prick up their cars, and gape, and wonder at it.
But we do blame the Admiralty for the premature
publication of what it has picked up respecting this
last adventurous legend of the Arctic expedition
before it had learned anything that can warrant a
conclusion as to its troth or faleshood. We do blame
the Admiralty for saisetioolog the publication in the
Times of yesterday of throe metal columns of ravel
contradictory gossip, that onset bear the test 6C
the laws of evidence. Theo ere neatens in this
world callous enough to eqjoy Oat is galled a hoax
at the expense of the feelings of bereaved finnilies.
The balloon story already adverted to, and the mere
recent lie of some Davis's Straits whaler, show
that such cruel hoaxes have been played off with
criminal indifference to the lacerated feelings of
, the relations and friends of the missing Arctic
crews. They who rashlyy and thoughtlessly give
additional currency to gesstisaable stories are scarcely
lees culpable than theme wise invent such stories ;
and the conduct of the iesnosielies of the Admiralty
in giving a wider eirien to so improbable a tale
as that upon which we have been commenting—a
tale so weakly supptebsd by anything deserving the
name of evidence—before their inquiries enabled
them either to alarm or contradict it, is highly
blameable.

), APRIL 8.

Since the publication of the decree upon the press,
almost every journal in Madrid has been daily seized
and obliged to publish second editions deprivedof the
offensive articles. Several companies that have been
publishing great numbers of translated French
novels have been constrained to close their business,
novels of that class being particularly the object of
governmental interference.
The Gazette announces that the junta of the public
debt has ordered the adjudication on the 29th instant
of the fifth portion of the debt liable to be paid off.
The amount devoted to this purpose is 2,5N43,700
reals. The Espana states that the vernor of Ma-
tanzas, in Cuba,has been dismissed for not preventing
the landing of some negroes who had been imported
as slaves by several planters.

George Augemtuellll7, t I•nso;;Fgenilemanly appear-
ance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of wilful
and corrupt perjury.
Seriesut Wilkins, who, with Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Bal-
tontine was iustructed to conduct the prosecution, raid that
he and his learned friends, having carefully considered
all the evidence for the prosecution, had come to the
conclusion that it would not be advisable to offer any
evid, nee In 'import of the charge against the gentle-
man who had just surrendered to take his trial. It
appeared that there had been • Mei arum of litigation
between the defendant and the preseemer, and there was
reason to believe that the statement eempleined of had
been hastily made, without any iseprepir uselve, and that
the charge of pet*, threehre testi net be sustained.
The object of 611 MU M NOM his character
from the igafttiie Mee were east epos kits by the state-
menu in guides, and es thus Imputation had been en-
tirely withdrawn by the delhodast, be tdamoebt the proper
tour*e to be taken was not to offer any evid-e•or on behalf
of the prosecution.
Mr. Chartism, who, with Mr. Dsitraley, appeared for the
defendant, said hi was perfectly ready to accede to the pro-
position of his learned friend. He believed the fact to be,
that both gentlemen had acted under a mistake, and that
there was no ground for i ..putiog a criminal °fleece, or an
offence of any other description to either of them. He was
happy, therefore, to fall into the suggestion mode by his
learned friend, and he begged, on the port of the defend-
ant, to withdraw everything like an imputation upon the
character of the prosecutor.
A verdict of Noe Guilty was then taken, and the defend-
ant was at one dischargy.

farmer. It won't do then to pull a poor mouth
shout wool, in order to furnish an excuse for the
protectionist hat. Nor are our farmers neglecting
their opportunity to supply the demand for wool, for
hom the Berkshire monthly report we learn that one
of the causes of the abundance of fat mutton in our
markets is " that from improved husbandry and the
tine breed of stock, combined with a fair price fur
wool, many more hogs [year old sheep] are at this
time of the year sent to market fat than formerly
were." This, too, is a consolatory explanation, but
does not help the protectionist case.
Again, iu the same report, we are told that " there
is a large quantity of landoo the hands of the landlords,
and several good farms want tenants ;" and here then
it may be supposed we have met with a case of real
distress, landlords who can't let their farms and have
not the skill or available capital to farm them. We
picture the " distrees" this state of things must
create amongst that meritorious class of landlord de-
pendents, gamekeepers, studgrooms, huntsmen, and
whippers-in ; but before indulging in grief on this
account let us finish the sentence, which runs thus,
" several good farms want tenants—where terms are
asked with which no man who understands his busk:

sees would feel himself justified in complying."
This, then, is the solitary case of distress on which
the I)erbyites arc to go to the country for the restora-
tion of protection. We heartily wish them joy of it.
