TUE STRIKE AT MANCHESTER.

-
The strike of spinners and piecers at Manchester con-
tinues, but at one of the mills six operatives resumed
work on Thursday, and three more on Friday. This
was at the mill of Mr. J. Clarke, in Helena-street, and
the consequence was that great excitement prevailed on
Friday among the turnouts, and on Friday at noon one
and
at him. On

with having taken a lead-
ing part in this intimidation and violence. A. spinner
named William Gutteridge stated that he was working
at Mr. Clarke's mill, and left it at one o'clock to go home
to dinner. He was followed by the prisoner Limerick
and others, who asked him if he meant to leave his work
and join the strike ? He said he did not, and they then
attacked him, and chased him to the door of his house
in Branson-street. The prisoner remained under his
front window, threatening him, from ten minutes past 1
to a quarter before 2 o'clock. lie was again attacked on
returning to work, and stones were thrown at him. He
had known the prisoner two years, and could not be
mistaken in his identity. The prisoner threatened him
with vengeance, if it were seven years before it could be
taken. Gutteridge's wife corroborated his statement,
and spoke to Limerick's identity, and said Limerick told
her if her husband came out of his house to return to
work they would kill him. For the defence three wit-
nesses were called to prove an alibi. Mr. Maude, the
magistrate, after hearing the evidence, said the defence
had proved too much ; they had proved that the pri-
soner was in two places at once. The bench had no
doubt of the facts, and could not permit gross intimida-
tion and violence like this. The operatives had a right
to turn out and get higher wages if they could, but
they must give to others the same liberty they ats:erted
for themselves. The prisoner was sentenced to one
calendar mouth's imprisonment, with hard labour. It
is said that the funds collected for the turnouts last
week afforded a dividend only of a shilling each per-
son.

THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

It is understood that, among other matters, the topics
to be introduced into the Queen's Speech on the opening
of Parliament will probably be discussed at the Cabinet
Council on Thursday next, preparatory to the document
being submitted to the Privy Council, which is to be held
at Windsor a fortnight hence.
It is estimated that a sum of from 20,000,0001. to
25,000,0001. will be required to meet the demands on the
Treasury for war and general expenditure to the sth of
April next; and it is alleged that Ministers are divided
in opinion as to the best process of providing this defi•
ciency. Sir Charles Wood, it is said, actually recom-
mends that the Income Tax should be increased to 10
per cent., or 2s. in the pound, a proposal worthy of a
Whig financier, but as unwise and unjust as it would
assuredly prove unacceptable to the country. We trust
that, notwithstanding the machinations of those who
would make the war distasteful, the Cabinet of Lord
Palmerston may reject this imprudent proposal, and per-
severe in the original intention of raising the necessary
expenditure by loan, avoiding all interference with the
ordinary taxation.—Morning Advertiser.

" lir. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and ;mind, and what is of

much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcoa, and to place the treat-

likely to do much good."

The mitre placed at the disposal of the Court of Rome
by the death of Dr. Haly, titular of Leighlin and Ferns,
has not yet found a wearer. Three names, according to
the ordinary practice, were long since submitted to the
Holy See, but up to the present day no burl has reached
Ireland confirming the appointment of the Yery Rev.
Dr. Walsh, president of Carlow College, who was by the
choice of the parish priests declared digninimus. Th•
bull is nor• than a fortnight overdue, and some persons
attribute the delay to a disinclination on the part of the
Sovereign Pontiff to ratify the election of Dr. Walsh.

on the twin despotism at St. Petersburg.
Lord ABERDEEN' was, however, willing to
hope against all reasonable probability. He was
so wilfully blind that there was no necessity for
extraordinary skill to deceive him or those who
adopted his views and carried out his policy. A
demand for further time by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF
to consider " the Four Points " which had been
forwarded through the Cabinet of Vienna was
therefore readily conceded, and when the then
CZAR accepted the terms, and a conference was
arranged to carry them into practical operation,
joyous pceans were chaunted for the rapidly
approaching peace. Be it remembered that
it was not merely " the Points " that were
agreed to. There was also a very clear and
distinct explanation added, and the AIIT4i.
CEIT consented to open negotiations on the
Allies' interpretation of the Four Points. We
have seen how that apparently candid profession
was subsequently falsified ; how Austria, too, was
found wanting when the time had arrived for ful-
filling the promises she had made. Procrastina-
tion was palpably the object of both Powers, and
that was achieved to a great extent, little being
done to carry on the operations of the War on a
suitable scale.
While these matters were pending our august
Ally adopted early and energetic measures to ob-
tain the sinews of war. At the close of 1854
notice was given that a loan of 500,000,000
francs, or 20,000,0001. sterling, would be re
quired. The Senate and Corps Legislatif promptly
and gracefully responded to the Imperial requisi-
tion, and plenary powers were given to enter into
the necessary arrangements. The EMPEROR did
not, however, go to any single capitalist or body
of capitalists. He appealed at once to his people,
stating what he required, and offering fair and
reasonable terms. There was no petty higgling,
no attempt to get more than would be accepted.
Each man knew exactly what he was to give and
to receive. He saw that there were no middlemen
to absorb the profits, and that every applicant
would receive exactly the same treatment—the
only privilege granted being to the less wealthy
subscribers, who inscribed their names for less
than 500 francs, or 201., of Rentes. These were
to receive the full amount of their subscriptions
before anything was given to those seeking more
weighty investments. The result was that the
full amount was absorbed, and the privileged sub-
scribers were compelled to abate some 42 per cent.
on their claims—the applications under 500
francs Rentes being for no less than 836,000,000
francs, while the total amount of all classes reached
the gigantic sum of two thousand one hundred
and seventy-five millions, or 87,000,0001. step

THE LOWER DANUBE.

We have received the Moniteur of yesterday. It
publishes the following letter from Galatz, dated
Sept. 20 :
" The line of Lloyd's boats between COnstantinople
and Galatz has at length been resumed. The first
steamer arrived on Friday last, and left again on Satur-
day morning in correspondence with the boat which
arrived from Vienna the day before. A second steamer
is expected to-morrow: The first bad a small quantity
of merchandise, and a few passengers. A 9 it is liable to
be visited by the Russian authorities in passing before
the island of Tchdtal, the company, without positively
refusing them, is shy of taking on board passengers be-
longing to the belligerent nations, and I am of opinion
they would net be safe.

" The Russians have established a lighthouse at the
Sulina mouth. Commercial men are cf opinion that
they will levy a tax on the strength of the lighthouse,
or on some other pretext, to cover their expenses for
keeping open the navigation of the Lower Danube.

"At Tchetal Point, where the Killa, Ismail, and
Sulina arms branch off, 64 Russians have two small
war steamers and 18 gun-boats. Last year the number
of the latter was 35, seven of which have been declared
unserviceable, and have probably been remodelled.
There remains a difference of ten gunboats not ac-
counted for.

" Last week I looked in as far as the line of the Pruth,
ten hours' distant from this, opposite Reni. • It was .at
this point that last year the Russian army crossed the
Bessarabian frontier. A small Moldavian guard occu-
pies the half-destroyel redoubt which formed the tete de-
pont of the Russian sf on- the right side of the Pruth.
The Russians have opposite, on the left bank, a small
fL rce. The river, very deep just hero- (4 to 5 fathoms),
'is so narrow that the sentinels can converse across it,
and that there is no turning room for the smallest
Danubian steamer. Behind the Russian post may be
seen the remains of the great batteries erected last year
to protect the passage. They are not armed, and ap-
pear to be guarded by a few men only, while previously
a continual movement of troops was visible. On the
other hand, the posts of the irregular Cossacks, which
had been withdrawn, have re-appeared within the last
two months on the Russian banks of the river. If we
are to credit the reports of the Moldavians on the fron-
tier, these disorderly and undisciplined bands will com-
mit great devastations on the plains of Bessarabia.
"Finally, at from seven to eight versts behind Reni
there is said to be a camp of from 10,000 to 12,000 men,
consisting, according to appearance and probabilities,
of veterans and militia,"

THE PEEL STATUE IN CHEAPSIDE.

Mr. DAW read the following extract from a report of
the Improvement] Committee :—" We have also had
under consideration the question, to us referred, upon
the propriety of erecting an iron railing round the newly
erected statue of the late Sir R. Peel in Cheapside ; and
having considered the case, we are of opinion that, un-
der the circumstances stated to us, it is desirable not to
set up any railing round the same, but to have a double
gas lamp upon a suitable standard set up on the north
and south sides of the pedestal, and we have requested
Mr. Tite and Mr. Behnes to prepare the design for the
same, that you may erect them according to it."
Deputies LOTT and HOLT severally spoke in favour of
a railing 4 urging that without such a protection the pe-
destal would be certain to receive injury. The statue of
the Duke of Wellington was left for some time exposed,
but it was found desirable to place a railing round it.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he could not agree with the
two preceding speakers in thinking that any class cf the
community, through a sheer love of mischief, would dis-
figure the pedestal. Both these gentlemen bad formerly
advocated the removal of the iron railing from around
St. Paul's, in order that the enclosed space might be
thrown open to the public. He (Mr. H. L. Taylor)
wished the pedestal to remain as it now stood for the
present, and a railing could be placed round it hereafter,
in the event of it becoming necessary. (Hear.)
The report of the commit to was agreed to.
