sending for the work, or disappointing his customers. On
Ssmrday night &.s they acted in accordance with this no:."

the persons who dealt with hint. When Mr. Barrett's
men came for work on Monday, he refused to give them
any unless they consented to bring them home when 41-
risked. With this they refused to comply, and departed,
since which time they can get no one to work for him. lie
also stated that he reeeired a letter, purporting to come
from the men in his employment, to the effect, that " the
Council of Trade" would not allow them to work for him.

man, that for every day be kept them without work, lie

According to this scale, a wrought diamond, 3 carats, ib

diamond probably ever heard of is one mentioned by Ta-
vernier, who saw it in the possession of the Great Mogul.
It was about as big as a hen's egg, and weighed 900 carats
in the rough. The largest diamond ever brought to
}mope is one now in the possession of the Sovereign of
Ruses. It weighs 195 carats, and was long employed as
the eye of a Braminical idol. A French soldier discovered
the value of the gem ; and changed his religion, worship-
ping at the altar of the god, that he might deprive him of
~idendul eye. At length he succeeded in substituting a
Ace of glass for the diamond, and again became a good
:irirtian! After passing through several hands, the
Enieress Catherine at length fixed it in possession of the
Itasdan crown, giving for it 90,0001., and a perpetual an-

In our last we inserted a resolution passed st tbs
meeting of t I:7r Master Manufacturers' Association held In
• Bradford ''estettlav week, to the effect that they would, at
their meeting on Monday; take into consideration the pro.
priety and expediency of the masters proposing to their re-
spective workmen a personal tliscudsion of the differences
existing between them. At the.Mecting on Monday that
question come under consideration, and was carried in the
affirmati've by a large majority of voices, the minority ex- I
pressing their readiness to conform to the decision of the
majority. On Tuesday each of the masters separately in-1
cited the workmen Who he'd %n al in their employment
previous to the Strike, to confer with them on the sullied I
of their differences, and they were waited upon by a de.
puts don from each shop. The principal question proposed '
to them was tobatantially this—" Do you adhere to the
Statement Of advanced prices `which were deli'vreil by the
Union at the 'conuiieun:;inent of the contest, or 00011 you
now Accept any lower price than that which was theti
fixed?" To this inquiry the deputies returned answers, and I
on Weilmsday the masters had another meeting, when each
of them reported upon the nature of the answer they had re-
ceivell,tchich amounted in effect to this, " that the workmen
invariably declared their determination to adhere to the!
statement of prices formerly delivered." Upon this result,
no resolution appears to have been come to by the Masters, '
and the %wing adjourned till Monday the St9tii that, wish
the view, probably, of trying what effect will be produced
by the stoppage of their mills. In the mean time they re-
aolrel to publish the particulate of a conversation of a
dessi-official nature, held betweeh Mr. William Rand, a'
partner in the house of Messrs. John Rand and Sons, ma-.
nufacturirs, and Mr. John Tester., the Beeretary of the
Union gociety-, developing the views of the parties.
One fact important 100th to the masters and to the men
has been elicited by alit conference, namely, that the men
will work in any concern where combing.trachines
power looms are or may be in operation. Are learn slew
that the combers and weavers of Pradford; in the Union
society, have no wish to place any of their fellotc-steorkmen
ender a ban; and that they do not object to work *ith per-
sins who are not in the Union. They chain the tight to
act for themselves, and they leave to others the free exer•
cise of the same privilege. In tact the points et Issue be-
tween the parties are now considerably narrowed. The
masters no longer snake it a sine qua non that the men
should give up the Union ; they have nut indeed in tetms,
but they have tacitly abandoned that ground. This is a
great concession, and ought to be so considered by the men.
Three houses, who have seceded from the Mutat' As.
lodation, arc now paying the advanced price to the Um-
bers, but no advance has been given to the Weevers by
El Of them; on the contrary a reduction of sixpence a
piece in weavers' wages has taken place in some of the
neighbouring towns since the contest commenced, and
combing in those places remains at the old price. The
principal part of the mills in Bradford and its immediate
neighbourhood continite at rest—in several cases they Are
turned into school's, Ind the masters are causing the work-
people, that remained with them up to the time of the
stoppage, to he instructed or improved in reading,
writing, &c. To sonic of these work-people thty are
paying full *ages, when they can give them other em-
ployment, Others are paid two-thirds' and none of, them
ppy less than half wages to any of the unemployed.
This state of things cannot of course last long; the
drain will soon become insupportable ; an entire ces-
sation of profits is bad enough, but when it is aggra-
vated by the deterioration of Unemployed Machinery, and
the payment of w fir doing nothing, the end cannot be
distant.—Leeits 3rcress-v.

BISHOP LUSCO MB E.

A singular and very striking event has occurred in the
history of British episcopacy, which, We apprehend, is yet
very little known, but which cannot fail to be highly in-
teresting to the clergy of the Established Church.
Our clerical readers may perhaps have noticed in the
newspapers reports of marriages abroad performed
Wight Reverend Bishop Luscombe—we ours-'
marked their details, and made proper inquiries
tain the real facts of the rase, awl under *bat
or of *kr Church Pr. Luscomb* laid been

14511011.
The labour of our research, however, into what cannot
but be considered a most important matter, has been con-
siderably lightened by having met with the sermon
preached in the Episcopal Chapel, at Stirling, at Poctor
Luseotobe's consecration ; to which is prefixed, an adVer-
tisement, in which the particulars of the case are fully and
clearly developed.
Convinced, as we are, that to thaw who are attathed
to the interests of the Established Church, the details
will be highly interesting, we submit the advertisement
entire :

" During a residence of five years in Prance. the atten-
tion of Dr. Luscombe (Chaplain to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge) was naturally directed to the state of
religion stnotig his countrymen settled in that country,
the number of. vMent actually resident is caleiduttd at no
less than Afty thaosand ; and he could not but ob-
serve with regret, the great inconvenience and danger
to which this large body of British subjects were ex-
posed, from the absence both of proper teachers episco-
pally harmed and visited, and of the regular adminis-
tration of the holy Sacraments. Ile was More particularly
awakened to the evils thus incurred by so large a portion
of persons educated in the principles of the Church of
England, by the representation of the most respectable
amongst them, touching the rite of Confirmation,
.fiom
which their children were altogether excluded. This im-
portsnt want, coupled with the evident difliculty of holding
a religious community together without some acknowledged
tie, or authorised bond of union, induced him to apply for
advice and assistance to such of his friends in the Church
at home, as, by their station and talents, Might have suf-
ficient influence to carry into effect his designs for the pre-
vention or remedy of an evil so obvious and injurious to
the best interests of religion.
" It was at first thought, that by the appointment of a
Suffragan to the Bishop of London, this object might be
attained; but the revival of an office so long disused was
deemed objectionable; and the numerous other difficulties
presented themselves, arising from the connexibn in this
country between the Church and State. Dr. Luscombe
was advised, therefore, to lay his case before the Bishops
of Scotland, and to seek that assistance from them which
circumstances rendered it improbable he would obtain in
England. After a long correspondence, in which zeal and
prudence equally marked the conduct of the Scotch Pre-
lates, they determined not only to adopt the plan suggested
by fir. Luscombe, but, it he were willing to abandon his
prospects at home, to c9nseerate hies as their missionary
Bishop to Alt British jillow-subjects abroad. Upon this
decision, Dr. Litscombe did not fora moment hesitate to
make the sacrifice required of him ; and proceeding to the
north, with the author as his Chaplain,, was canonically
consecrated a Bishop of the Church of Christ, at Stirling,
on Sunday, the loth day of March, Ins.
" From the concluding words of the Latter' of Colla-
tion, delivered to Bishop Luscombe by the Prelates who
consecrated hint, the object of his mission will be best un.
derstocal lie is sent by us, representing the Scotch
Episcopal Church, to the Continent of Europe, nut as a
diocesan Bishop, in the modern or limited sense of the word,
but for a purpose similar to that for which Titus was left
by St. Paul in Crete—that he may set in order the things
that are wanting among such of the natives of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland as be shall find there, professing to be
members of the United Church of England and Ireland
and the Episcopal Church in Scotland.* But, at our
blessed Lord, when he first sent out his Apostles, com-
manded them, saying, " Go not into the way of the Gen-
tiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not, but
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel ;" BO we,
following so divine an example, which was certainly
left on record to the Church to guide her conduct in mak-
ing future converts to her faith, do solemnly enjoin our
Right Reverend Brother, Bishop Luscombe, not to disturb
the peace of any Christian Society established as the na-
tional Church, in whatever nation he may chance to so-
journ,
but to confine his ministrations to British subjects,
and to such other Christians as may profess to be of a Pro-
testant Episcopal Church.
" And we earnestly pray God to protect and support him
in his arduous undertaking, and to grant such success to

his ministry that, among those *bo ',Aare tarred many to
righteosimess, lie may at last shine as the stars for ever and
ever.'
" Although by all sound Churchmen the claims of the
venerated Episcopal Church in scodand are well known,
and duly and justly appreciated, yet ,ibere any be some
persons .lest conversant with these thittert,- to whom ,the
following sketch of its history may not Prove unaccept-

as well as her Laity, were Subjected. Those statutes(
however, which pressed so severely upon them, were re,
pealed in the year 1192, by the mildness of his late Ma-
jesty's Goternment. From the Revolution downwards, the
Bishops and Clergy of the Episcopal Church hate conti-
nued to struggle, meekly and in silence, under all the pres-
sure of poverty, subsisting solely on the scanty and preca-
rious income arising front their respective congregations;
land surely nothing bit it geese of duty could have made
them subthlt to so hard and uncomfortable a lot.'—Appen-
dix, No. 'I. yf Sicianer's Annals s f s..•oriish Episcopacy.
It may be proper to add, that a small, a very small addi-
tien, has been made to the incomes of the Bishops, by a
subscription of late years raised both In Scotlaud and Eng
land.

"It will, it is presumed, be permitted, to one, hose
heart still glows with gratitude fOr the reception he met
with, from his fathers and brethren in the north, and who
will ever remember, with admiration, the primitive piety,
founded upon purify of faith and soundness of doctrine
which he there found among the metnbers of that poor
but still venerable communiou—to, conclude this adver-
tisement, with the sentiments, anti in the words of good
Bishop Horne: ' If the groat Apostle of the Gentiles were

land, as most like the people he had been used to.'"

'laudable undertaking of Bishop Luscombe, to add the fol-
lowing account of its

The Bishop delivered a obarge to this clergy, and a very

this earnest of future success before tts, let us be permitted

I Rlbll sURIAIE.—A curious exampled the manner in
which marriages sometimes take place in Ireland, to com-
promise criminal proceedings, is given in a trial last week
at Cie Cork Assiees ; John Hearne, a snug farmer, was
capitally indicted for a rape upon Mary Conolly. She swore
positively to the fact of the outrage, but her cross-examina-
tion elicited much humour. she denied having said to
hint at the time, " Jack, my darling,'' and declared,
" that she would not make it up for all the money in
the world ;" but a minute after, she agreed, amidst the
laughter of the Court, to marry the prisoner. " The
happy couple" withdrew into the Judge's Chembef, and
a priest (was Bonn introduced to tic the knot Which Jack
Ketch was at first attempted to be put in requisition for.
Some difficulty occurred in procuring a ring, and the split
ring of the High Sheriff's watch-chain answered the pur-
pose. I'Vben the ceremony concluded, the Jury acquitted
the prisoner, who went away with his bride more in
sorrow than in anger."
BREAD MADE BY Nlacitrys. ar:---One of the neW Com-
panies is to make its bread by seachluery, thereby expect-
ing to get rid of the want of cleanliness inseparable from
the making by hand, and also to effect a great economy in
the expenses, as well as to produce greater despatch. They
calculate, in consequence, on being able to sell their com-
modity so much cheaper than the present price, as to en=
able the Ptisting bakers to retail it at a fair profit. They
say that at Genoa and in other places on the Continent,
public bakehouses have long been successfully conducted
upon similar principles.—Sunday Paw,

Mr. JuatiCe Batttr.—That is a most irregular mode of pros
ceeding, and I shall take care it is known to some one, who will
apply some remedy to it. The opinion of my Ldrd Chief Justice
is known upon this subject, and I myself, at the laet Assizes, repro-
bated this mode of taking. examinations.
The clerk of Rawson 's Bank proved the notes to be forgeries.
The note* purported to be those tif three partners I whereas, in
fact, theft *ere only two, and the one named John Rawson had
no existence whatever.
to comparing the notes there was a variance between It and as
laid in the indiennent, particularly in the number&
31r. Justice Bar Le- considered that the varlinee in !he rum.
bcra could not be maintained as an objection. With reepet to the
nonexistence of Mr. Rawson, the note, If good, would have been
binding on the other, and as such at present I shall admit it as
evidence.
There was also a letter S. in the indiettneni in the signatbre of
Rawson to the note, which, Rhea shown to the Jury, they declared
it to be 8. S. Rawson, and nlSt T. i. Wrenn.
Mr. Justice Bruiser—Then, Gentlemen, this is not the note
described In the indictment. It is quite irregular to have depo.
sitions taken as they have been in this instance. I beg it may be'
known that the depositions are always to be taken before and in
the hearing of the accused. They should bear upon the face of
them that they were so taken. indeed, I shall take care that :he
matter be represented to the proper quarter.
Mr. STAIKIE—I shall take care, my Lord, that your Lord.
ship's opinion is known at Manchester.
The first indictment was therefore declared to be bad, and On
that the prisoner was acquitted.
He was again arraigned upon a second indictment, but the Jury
(a fresh one) agreed with the other that the variance was the lame,
and the priioner was acquitted.
ARSON:
Writ. Tratei.e and David MunAs were chaiged with having fe.
lonieusly set fire tb a rick of hay at Warrington' the property of
John Morris. It appeared in evidence that on the 4th of April the
primmer" were seen going towards the field* where the stack was,
and illoaks hail in his hand a lump of cotton wool, which appeared
to he on fire. They were seen to enter the field, and in a very
short dine afterwards the stick was observed to be in flames. Some
perions, whb on seeng the fire came towards the stack in an oppo.
site direction; met the prisoners running &wit, and took them
into custody, when they said, that, on coming to the stack, they
found it on tire, and ran away lest it should be laid upon them.
The Jury acquitted the prisoners.
HORSE STEALING.
Jarizcs reanrdyi,and Patrick Calais were eeritaffy indicted for
having stolen a horse, the property of Fribcia Ilynes, of Liver-
pool, in the months of August I (st.
It appeared, from the statement of Mr. Clarke, that the horse
was originally stolen in Ireland, on the Ist of July bum The
prisoners shipped the horse from Wamen's Point. near Dublin, I
and openly offered it for sale at Liverpool, and exercised every act
of ownership.
Cohan. upon being called upon foi his defence, said that he
bought the horse from a man on the 4th of Jitly : that When a di&
1 ficulty arose as to his possession of the horse, he had the men taken
into custody ; but that when brought before the Magistrate at Li.
ter pool be was distills*, because hey (Coln) had all hie witnesses
in Ireland. All he could (lay in addition was, that if the though(
pioper to hang him Orungfully, he was quite willing and ready to
die.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence, and the Jury
found Colin Guitty, and Acquitted Kennedy, against whom there
was nD deelsive evidence.

The action was nominally agatnet the late Sheriff; but the real
defendants were the Messrs. Rawion, hankers, of Halifax, at
whose suit the ezecution had issued. It appeared from the evi-
-1 dence that the bankrupt was a cotton-spinner. living at Coble, in
(this county, and had dealings with the Messrs. Rawson and ad.
trances to a very large amount ; that he had given them as security
