article by M.
yzitio----a.---eitbecopntaaninss
tong
GRAN= DE CASSAGNAC, in which, taking a review
of the unfavourable results of preceding Parliamen-
tary experience' in France, he arrives at the conchi-
, sion that, in proportion as they were failures from
the way in which they were constituted, the present
experiment must have salutary consequences. M.
GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC mixes up with his argu-
ments on this point some eulogy upon the Govern-
ment which approaches almost to adulation.
The Pays writes in the same strain. It says,
among other things,—
" It is to public opinion that the Government of Louis
Napoleon owes the immense infinence which it exercises
over the whole of France; public opinion has always
been for the nephew of the Emperor, the mysterious
Egeria that he has silently consulted, and it has inspired
him with the wisdom which presides over great enter-
prises, and the self-reliance which secures the execution
of them. It is that mild and sympathetic goddess that
will always guide his steps in the path in which the
people walk, in his progress towards the future."
M. DB LAMARTINE has addressed a letter to the
Journal de Saone-et-Loire, in which he expresses his
intention to refuse any invitation to offer himself as a
candidate for the Legislative body.
MM. MARC Durasisss and GREPPO, ex-represen-
tatives of the people, who had been included in the
list of persons ordered to be transported to Cayenne,
have had a change effected in their destination. They
are to be banished for life.
The Marquis DB JAUCOURT, Minister of Marine
under Lours XV.I4, and formerly Peer of France,
died at his seat, in the Beine4l=Matriti,-li le* days
ago, aged 94.
The Dowager Lady RANCLIPPE has died in Paris.
The Legitimatists have resolved, it seems, not to
stand candidates for seats in the Corps Legislatif ;
and it is saia that a letter has been received from the
Count DE CHAMBORD, approving of this resolution, on
the ground that they could not take the prescribed
oaths of fidelity to the PRESIDENT and to the Con-
stitution. A similar objection would stand in the
way of Orleanists, and, indeed, of Republicans, so
that there appears to be nothing calculated to prevent
the representative body being as Bonapartist as needs
be desired. It is also said that the four Cardinal
Archbishops have declined to enter the Senate, prin.
cipally in consequence of the confiscation decrees.
Marshal GERARD also refuses the profferred honour.
With respect to the obnoxious decrees affecting the
property of the ORLEANS family, the rumour of an
inclination on the part of the PRESIDENT to submit
them to the Senate is again revived, but with what
degree of truth it is not easy to determine.
The Society of Booksellers, Printers, and Sta-
tioners of Paris hare addressed a letter of thanks and
congratulation to M. DB BILLING for the zeal dis-
played by that gentleman in the matter of interna-
tional copyright, on occasion of the ratification and
exchange of the recent treaty between France and
England. The society glance at the difficulties
which prevent for the present the adhesion of Bel-
gium and Holland to the principle which acknow-
ledges and the law which protects the rights of intel-
lectual property—and express a hope that the cordial
agreement of the Cabinets of London and Paris on
this point will produce a disposition in those states to
reconsider the grounds of their former refusal to treat
o n any reasonable basis.
There was a slight rise in the price of public securi-
ties. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f. 20c., fell
to 103 f. 10e., rose subsequently to 103 f. 35c., and

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
The announcement made in our columns yesterday 01
the complete failure of the step taken by the Employers
Association, in re-opening their shops on Monday, re.
ceived further confirmation from the experience of yes-
terday, during which we are credibly informed that not
a single additional skilled workman entered the vast
establishment of Messrs. Mandeley and Field, Lambeth;
and the only establishment, ao far as we could collect,
which received any accession to its numbers, was that
of Messrs. Miller and Ravenbill, Glasshruse-fields.
Stepney, where eight mechanics, two of whom were
members of
.the Amalgamated Society, went in upon
the - employers' terms. It will be remembered
that the sem° number of mechanics, including
two society men, . went .in on Monday, so that
this shop now holds four members of the Amalgamated
wprileintthiceeys,nwoht os.igh: dthe hitherto
Society, who are said to be the only ones, out of the
1,800 belonging to the tu t I'.who h acceded to
e rope z.., have
declaration
the masters' terms. On the other hand, fresh instances
, have come to our knowledge in which foremen and afi-
remainedthe
themselves,
e lwork,veu b
urefused
to sign the declaration required, and several f the for-
mer have intimated to their employers, that not only
will not remain to superintend the men who may sign it.
We stated yesterday that a vast number of labourers
who had been thrown out of employ by the strike had
rushed to sign the declaration as soon as the shop-
doors were thrown open, but instances. have occurred in
which labourers who had remained at work since the
19th of January quitted work on Monday, rather than
do so. Amongst other instances, three men belonging
to Grissell's, City-road, yesterday entered their names
upon the labourers' relief-book on this account.
In Manchester, we learn, the same results have at-
tended the re-opening of the shops as in London, and on
Monday lloutson's shop, employing about 50 society,
and 100 other hands; ire-oposed,upon the teems of the
Amalgamated Society. It is also stated, upon good au-
thority, that Messrs. Platt and Hibbert, of Oldham,
have requested a deputation of the society, with the
view of taking the same step, and also that the Union
Foundry, of the same place, has started upon the terms
of the society.
The subscriptions received during yesterday and Mon-
day, at the central office of the Amalgamated Society,
considerably exceeded the amount received on the cor-
responding days of previous weeks, amounting to nearly
1,300/. This sum includes 501. from the London west-
end cabinet-makers.
The Manchester men yesterday received their fourth
week's strike pay, at the same rate as for the two pre-
vious weeks, viz , 155. for society, and les. for non-
society men. We understand, however, that the society
men, who are four times the number of the non-society
men, each gave up a shilling so as to equalise the re-
spective receipts at 14s. per man. The London hands
were paid 10s. and 15s. respectively on Monday.
The London trades are rendering a very considerable
amount of assistance to engineering operatives by pecu-
niary contributions. At a meeting of the committee of
the masons' society, on Monday, a resolution was passed
authorising a levy of 6d. per week per member during
the continuance of the strike; and it is stated that this
levy will throw into the funds of the Amalgamated So-
ciety not less than from 150/. to 2001. per week. At a
meeting of the tobacco and cigar trades, held the same
night, it was also agreed that subscriptions should, for
the same purpose, be at once entered upon.
No fresh labourers, it is said, were taken on at any
of the shops yesterday, and the Central Commission
despair of receiving support from the public, contem-
plate a dissolution, leaving the matter entirely in the
hands of the local committees. The total amount of
subscriptions received during the past fortnight is 57/.
11s. Bd., out of which nearly 101. has been absorbed in
printing and other expenses. They paid for the fort-
night ls. 9d. per man on Saturday last, and now hold in
hand a balance of 2/. ss. 2d. towards the support of
600 men for the coming week. The following answer
to an application for pecuniary relief was yesterday re-
ceived from the Earl of Carlisle:—

"Lord Carlisle is sorry that he cannot render any as•
sistance to the unskilled labourers on the present differ.
ence in the trade.
" Mr. F. J. Ebling."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Although the American
accounts have conduced to somewhat more of tameness
in the Liverpool cotton market, we have to report a de-
cided firmness in yarns and goods of most descriptions,
with indications of a steady general demand. The
makers of domestics are indeed complaining of a degree
of heaviness in their department, owing to the conti-
nued backwardness of the home buyers, and yet they
are remarkably free from stock. Tha Bombay houses
are still operating in the lighter 40-inch shirt-
ings, and, as the market is cleared, and the
production is reduced to a comparatively narrow
limit, they are not now to be had at the late
depressed prices. The cheapness of madapollams is also
causing a disappearance of stocks for shipment to the
same quarter. Much of the business both in the shirt-
ings and madapollams is, however, of a speculative cha-
racter. Good 40-inch skirtings continue scarce from
previous orders, and from present demand for export to
China, and for the purpose of printing. Printing cloths
of thelower kinds, as light as 315., aro attracting some
attention. In yarns, it is found that,4o's and 50's mule
twist, the former especially, are hardening in price under
the India demand. Warps in general are very
firm, at fall rates; indeed 28's are not in be
bought except by paying something more; but 24's
bring more difi3cult of sale, have a bias in the buyer's
favour. For 30's pin-cops there is an export demand,
which gives the producer an advantage in making
bargain. The contracts that spinners are under for.,
reeled water twist render it so difficult to execute any of
the orders on hand for China and the European conti-
nent, that extreme prices are fully sustained. In
reference to the continental demand, we would point at-
tention to Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson, and Co.'s table
below, which shows an increase, in the first five weeks
of 1852 as compared with the same period in 1851, of
1,900 bales or 1,900,0001 b, chiefly to Germany.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had no improve-
ment in the flannel market to-day; everything continues
quite inactive, and there is no disposition on the part of
the merchant to purchase. There is no change in the
wool market; the dealers are wishful to sell, at former
prices.

MACCLESFIELD, TUEIDAY.—We have Still to report
a sluggish market for silk manufactured goods;
the aggregate transactions of the week have been to
a moderate extent, but prices are very unsatisfactory
to producers. Thrown Silks—The market has been less
active; stocks in general are light; the hands in the
throwing mills are well employed. Raw Silk—The
market continues tolerably active, under the influence of
speculative purchases, chiefly in Chinas. Prices are
firm, with the exception of Italians, which are a shade
easier.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—But few merchants have vi-
sited our piece hall to-day, and the general aspect of the
worsted trade is very dull. Yarns exhibit no improve-
ment, either in demand or price. Wool remains firm;
and as the spinners are running out of stock, rather
more is changing hands.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Oar market has been
flat to-day, scarcely any demand for goods in the Cloth
Hall, and not much doing in the warehouses. The wool
market continues about the same as last week.

MAN SHOT BY A WOMAN.
A melancholy occurrence took place a few days ago
at Kirkby Overblow, a village about six miles from
Wetherby, land lying between that place and li-flares-
borough, which has thrown that usually quiet locality
into a state of considerable excitement. It appears thaty
