Soafe idea may be formed of the prodigious rate a

THE BRADFORD CONTEST.

Affairs at Bradford arc drawing fast towards their cata-
Istrophe. Last Monday the masters held a meeting at the
Sun Inn, and came to two important rcsohlions.
First—To resume the working of their mils, 'which are now
again in operation ; and
Second—To address a circular to al; the Worsted Spinners and
Manufucturers in the neighbouring towns, explanatory of their
views, and calling for the co.opration of the Masters in the
same trade. This document is in the terms following :
CIRCULAR.
" The Turn-out at Bradford amongst the Cambers and Wearers
having now existed for more than ten weeks, the associated Worsted
Spinners and Manufacturers of that place, feel it to be their
duty to address a Circular to all the IVorstcd Spinners and
Manufacturers in the neigbouring towns, explanatory of their
own view*, and requesting the co-operation of those whom they
address. . . .

" TM associated blasters beg leave to suggest, that if the ad-
vanced wages be given at Bradford, the same AMPS will be demand-
ed in the neighbouring towns ; and that therefme to make com-
mon cause with the Association at Bradford, will be the best way
to secure the permanent interests of all.
" The only measure calculated to secure the suppression or the
workmen's union is, as the associated masters think, by .tupping
their wo:ks altogether. They have therefore determined to invite
the neighbouring spinners and manufacturers to cooperate with
them in carrying into effect that decisive measure, and take the
liberty of adding, that it is their intention to regulate their fu-
ture proceedings by the general tenor of the answers they re-
ceive.
The above circular w•as accompanied by a letter from the
Solicitor to the Association, of which the following is a
copy
• Bradford, Aug. 29, HQ&
Sll,—The associated masters at Bradford request yon to fa.
your me with au answer to the annexed circular on or before Satur-
day next.

I am, sir,
Your very obedient Servant,
W. MOULDEN.

These documents were forwarded on Tuesday to the
principal Worsted Spinners and Manufacturers in Bandon,
Bingley, Cleckheaton, Darlington, Halifax, Keighley,
Lancaster, Leeds, Merton, Rochdale, Steeton, Sutton,
and Wiladen ; and it is, we believe, well understood,
though not expressed, that if the master, in these places
generally consent to make common cause with the mas-
ters of Bradford, and to atop their works altogether,
the resistance against the Lnion will still continue,
and the field of contest will be thus greatly extended ;
but if, on the contrary, the manufacturers in these other
places do not generally consent to make common cause,
the Bradford manufacturers will dissolve their Association,
and make the best terms with the men they are able.
In other words, they will, for the present at least, give the
advanced prices required by the men, without regard to
the workmen they employ being in the Union or not.
Afterwards, if they can afford to pay the advanced prices
for weaving and combing, they will continue to pay them,
but if they cannot they will gradually diminish their con-
cerns, till there becomes a redundancy of hands seeking for
employment, and till the thing in that way regulates itself.
Notwithstanding the length of this contest, we are told that
worsted stuff pieces sold last Thursday at lower prices in
Bradford Hall than were obtained fur them immediately
before the strike; and that yarn has also fallen about five
per cent. without any reduction whatever within the same
period in the price of the raw material. Owing to some
delay in the circulars reaching their destination, and to the
intervention of the Halifax and Rochdale markets, the
answers from the manufacturers cannot be received so soon
as Saturday (this day), but they are expected to arrive on
Wednesday or Thursday, and the Meeting of the Brad-
' ford masters will necessarily be adjourned from Monday to
some later day in the week, probably till Friday, when
the final decision may be expected to be taken.—Leeds
Mercury.

We learn that the boiler of the steam-packet, the On-
dernerning, which plies between Amsterdam and Ham-
burg, burst near Stade, on the Elbe, but with so little noise
that the plssengers were made sensible of the accident only
by the slackening of the progress of the vessel. The boiler
was immediately repaired, and the vessel was to leave
ilamburgh on,thelth to return to Amsterdam.—Brursels

LOMPIN•TION AMONG THE SHEARERS.—An immense
concourse of shearers assembled yesterday morning in the
Grass•market, and two shillings and sixpence were gene-
rally offered early in the day as wages, at which rate many
were hired. These persons were proceeding, in carts, to
their respective destinations, when about half a dozen of
stout fellows, Irishmen, interfered, and would not permit
any to leave the Liarket, who Were not to receive one
pound per week, or three shillings and four pence per day,
with victuals. This caused considerable confusion, and
prevented those who were willing to work, at the wages
offered, from leaving the market. One fellow, who seemed
particularly active, and who upset a cart, and assaulted
the driver, was brought to the police office, and fined ten
shillings and sixpence by the sitting Magistrate. The fine
was paid by one of his companions, and the party returned
to the market, but did not proceed to further acts of vio-
-1 lence. A strong body of police were by this time, (twelve
o'clock), perambulating the Grass-market. The great body
of the shearers were then hired at 2s. per day.—Edinburg,h
Paper, A ug. 30.
LICENSED GAMINH.—II appears that in some of the
United States of North America gaming is permitted, as in
France, on payment of a license duty to the local govern-
ment. The following paragraph is extracted from the
Huntsville .lelvoente, published in the new State of Ala-
bama :—" We learn that there are now in this town the fol-
lowing licensed gaming tables, viz :—One Faro Bank, one
roulet table, and three billiard tables—all of which have
been licensed under the late act of Assembly, authorizing
their establishment by paying a tax of 600 dollars each,
400 dollars to the state, and 200 dollars to the county.
Thus we are this little village contributing, within a few
weeks, no less than 3000 dollars to the public revenue, at
the expense of the public morals. Qnerefi Which is
most creditable to the State—a full Treasury obtained by
immoral means, or an honest, industrious, and sober popu-
lation ? The answer is too obvious to require comment:"

ECCENTRIC Gases—On Saturday lasi died, in the 70th
year of his age, at his lodgings, in St. Peter-les Bailey, in
this city, Constantine Demetriades, a native of Greece.
This very extraordinary character was born in September,
1755, at Naupactus, now called Enebect or Lepanto, which
gives its name to the Corinthian Gulf. He came to Eng-
land, several years ago, with Lord Elgin, since which he
has chiefly resided at Reading, and in this city. He pro-
fessed to he a teacher of languages, and, we believe, had,
occasionally, a few pupils. He was well acquainted with
his own language, the Modern Greek ; and also with Ita-
lian: but his knowledge of other languages was very
limited. He was penurious in the extreme, and chiefly
lived on the contributions of the humane,who pitied his ar
parently helpless and miserable condition ; yet he was in
possession of considerable property (upwards of 10001. in
the Bank of England), which he has left to four holy fa-
thers, papas, or patriarchs of the Greek Church, with di-
rections that his soul, and the souls of his father and
mother, may be prayed for continually, during one bun-
dred years after his decease. His executor is a gentleman
of respectability at Reading, in whose hands he had de-
posited money for his funeral expenses, which were not to
exceed eight pounds; and also for his occasional wants,
from whieh fund he drew with great sparingness and com-
punction, and only when he was unable to draw on the
compassion of others. But for the humane visits and di-
rections of some gentlemen of this place, he would abso-
lutely have been suffocated in filth, for 1w had no idea what-
ever of that English virtue called cleanliness. He hail a
great antipathy to any portrait being taken of him. This
was effected, however, acme time since, by stratagem ; but
he convivial all the parties concerned in the contrivance,
more partieblarly the artist, to perdition, and excommuni-
cated them in the names of all the saints of the Greek
Church; which written excommunicatien he caused to be
exhibited in some of the shops of this city. He was about
five feet high, always wore a very long brown coat, closely
buttoned, and halt-boots ; walked rather stoopingly, with
a stick, and had a red blotchy face.—aviiiird herald.
Henry Wm. Younger, of Thatcham, near Stratford,
a youth of eighteen, was wounded by the discharge of Lis
brother's gun, when out shooting on Friday, and he died
yesterday morning to the inexpressible grief of his family.
The brother Edward was getting through a hedge, the
dog being at the full point in the next fidd, when his
gun went off, and lodged the greater part of its coetents
in the deceased's side, at a few paces eft:
