NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SIINDAY.—We are glad to say that
the Sailors' Home at Portsea progresses most
favourably. It is now the principal resort of all the
men-o'-war's men when paid off or on leave. Capt.
Goldsmith has visited this establishment, and the
Britannia's men make it their home when on shore.
Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence went over it on
Thursday, and understanding that for several nights
previous there had not been sufficient bed-cabin ac-
commodation for the men, he gave the necessary di-
rections for another ward or room to be fitted with
seventeen cabins immediately, and the expense
charged to him. This liberality deserves to be re-
corded. The expense of fitting up the ward will
probably be 601. or 701.

It blew a gale last night from the westward, and it
still blows fresh from the W.N.W. We have not
heard of any damage to the shipping.
On the death of the Hon. Pownall Fleetwood
Pellew, First-Lieutenant of her Majesty's steam-
yacht Victoria and Albert, we are informed the
Queen sent a most kind autograph letter of condo-
lence to Viscountess Exmouth, the mother of the de-
ceased officer.

The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is
receiving a thorough caulking and refit. It is ru-
moured she will accompany the Britannia, 120,
dig-ship, for the Mediterranean', to that station.
The youthful Lord Ashley has lately entered the
navy on board the Britannia.

The Simoom iron steam-frigate was removed to the
mouth of the steam basin yesterday, ready for coming
out on Tuesday, and for trial on Wednesday, accord-
ing to present orders.

THE MASTER ENGINEERS AND THE
AMALGAMATED SOCIETY.

On Saturday, in pursuance of the resolutions ar-
rived at and made public by the large employers of
Manchester and London, notices were almost univer-
sally posted at the respective engine factories, that in
consequence of the recent proceedings on the part of
the men, their works would be closed on Saturday
next, the 10th inst. This is the only step at present
taken by the masters, only a few men having as yet
been discharged for refusing to work over-time. But
the effect of this determination on the part of the mas-
ters will be to throw out of employment about 3,500
members of the Amalgamated Society. Consequent
upon this, however, and assuming that other machi •
nista cannot be seoured, a much larger number of
other persons must be deprived of their means of sub-
sistence. Taking into the calculation moulders,
boiler-makers, carpenters, brass moulders, copper.
smiths, painters, trimmers, unskilled labourers, and
apprentices, not less than 20,000 men will be depe•
dent on this coup d'etat. In Lancashire, it is esti-
mated by the masters that 10,000 hands will be
thrown out of employ, in addition to the members
of the Amalgamated Society, in that county alone ;
and it is not unreasonable to double that number
when London is included.
The boiler-makers throughout the Country number
about 3,000 or 4,000, and the moulders nearly 5,000.
The moulders have hitherto taken no part in the pro-
ceedings of the Amalgamated Society, nor were any
of their body members of it,
However,h they con;
vened a meeting on y Slfurdl •
t in riondon, n
which a proposition was thrown out and adopted, sub-
ject to the approval of their brethren, not to return
to their labour lifter the loth, if then discharged,

without being compensated for their loss of time from
that period until their re-engagement.
On Saturday a proposition was made to the Exe-
cutive Council, to the effect that if the Amalgamated
Society would invest 10,0001. of its funds in tools,
any amount of capital would be forthcoming, if ne-
cessary, to enable the men, when formed into a new
society, to undertake any amount of work which might
be desired. In consequence of this proposition, coming,
as the reporter was informed, from a responsible
capitalist, a meeting of the Executive Council was
held last night in Little Alie-street, at which a reso-
lution was passed to the followirg effect :
" That inasmuch as the employers have refused to do
the work for the public, the members of the Amalga•
mated Society determine to undertake it themselves, and
to advertise to the same effoot in the public newspapers."
At the same meeting it was intimated that the
masters had thrown out hints that they were desirous
of receiving a deputation from the men, and it was re-
solved that should the masters' association acquaint
them with their desire to receive a deputation, such a
deputation would be immediately appointed.
Messrs. liansome and May have issued a circular
to the men, in which they express their decided op-
position to the principle of systematic over-time, which
they describe as being as injurious to the master as to
the man.

By the 231 rule of the Amalgamated Society, all
the members of the society which may be thrown out
of employment by this move are entitled to receive
15e. a-week. It is not intended, however, to draw
upon the deposited fund of 25,000/. to support the
3,500 members of their society who will be thrown
out, but to levy a special rate upon those members
who remain in employ.

IRELAND.
DUBLI.g, SATURDAY EVENING.—Accounts reached
town this afternoon from Dundalk, announcing that
Mr. Eastwood, whose life had been attempted on
Christmas-eve, near his own residence, at Csstletown,
is in a hopeless state; and, in consequence, some of
the unfortunate gentleman's relatives, who reside in
this city, have proceeded to Dundalk.
A northern landlord, in a communication to the
Dublin Evening Post, says :
" I have just seen a letter from the county Louth,
written by a most respectable and humane agent, who
says—' I propose in a few days going to collect rent in
another county, if not murdered in the interval.' I ask,
my dear sir, is this state of things tin a part of Ireland
formerly so quiet—and I ask again and again, in the
face of such horrors, is it not time, at long last, for the
Irish Government to declare that it cannot be any longer
carried on, if Parliament do not give new, more stringent,
more terrible powers, to crush a system which is making
this land a den of savages? I atk again, when, where,
and how is this to end?' May God in his mercy take
pity on this wretched lend."
The Evening Post, in reference to the call for
coercive measures, says :
"It the existing lavrs ba found unavailing, and that
the murder clubs cannot be eradicated by the vigilant
and energetic measures of the Government, in co-opera-
tion with the local authorities and the magistracy in the
disturbed districts, then it will remain for consideration
whether the hands of the Executive ought not to be
strengthened by measures adequate to the occasion,
which would afford an effectual remedy for en evil of
great magnitude, and which, by faoiliatiug the detection
and punishment of till, guilty, would lead to the resto
ration of tranquillity, without interfering with the privi-
leges or the avocations of the well-disposed."
The same journal adds, in respect to complaints
about the operation of the Crime and Outrage Act
in the disturbed districts :

"It is altogether contrary to tho fact that Mr. East-
wood will be liable to pay any portion of the police rate for
lauds in his own occupation. The principle of the Crime
and Outrage Aot, in this respect, is precisely the same
as the practice for press ntmonts for malicioui iejurics;
the district is assessed fur the amount, but the party ag-
grieved is exempted from the payment of any part of
the levy, and Mr. Eastwood, therefore, will not be
mulcted,' or charged in any way, for the lands occupied
by himself in the townland where so atrocious an attempt
was made upon the life of a most worthy and unoffend-
ing gentleman. The Government, we repent, have done,
and are doing, all that it is possible for them to perform
in restraining the murderous system of agrarian combi-
nation in the north. Not only have the police been
increased, but a military force has been stationed in the
disturbed districts, where the magistrates are provided
with ample resources to afford efficient aid to the civil
power and to individuals, in the enforcement of every
legal claim, and the protection of those who have reason
to apprehend violence or interruption in the exercise of
their lawful duties."

UNDER SECRETARY SHIP FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.—
We learn, from a private source, that the Lord Wode-
house has been offered the office of Under-Secretaryship
of Foreign Affairs. The county cannot be otherwise
than glad to see a nobleman, of whose name and family
the county has no common attachment, selected to oc-
cupy a position which demands the exercise of more
than ordinary ability. His Lordship's business habits,
ability, and steadiness of purpose, will be valuable in
any position Lord Wodehouse may consent to fill. We
have not heard if his Lordship has accepted office.—
Norwich Mercury of Saturday.
A ballast train on the Metz Railway wos proceed-
ing three nights ago from Forbach to Foulquemont, when
it suddenly got, near Saint Avoid, on to a wrong line of
rails. The consequence was that, after proceeding some
little distance, it arrived at theextreminto a m
extremity the rails,

was precipitated down an embankment

dow. The locomotive sank deep into the soil, and the tender
and waggons fell on it. Six persons were in the train at the
time; two were killed on the spot, one was so much injured
that he died shortly after, and another bad his collar-bone
broken. A man was seen running away just before the train
got on the wrong line, and it is believed that he turned the
points.— oa/ignani.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
MANCIIESTER, JAN. 3.—During the week a feeling, of
gr,ater clout:kit:rice has gradually gained ground iu the
trade, and although not followed by any considerable
increa:ie of business (owing doubtless in some measure
to the holiday character of the present season), still in
the s des effected approved marks of Flour have com-
manded full and improving prices, whiht other articles
have participated more or less in the firmness manifested
by holders. At our market this morning Wheat ad-
vanced ld to 2d per 7Olbs. Flour was likewise held for
6d to Is per sack over the rates curieet on this day
se'nnight. Oats and oatmeal moved off rather slowly,
but commanded full prices.

. -
NOTTINGHAM, JAN. 3.—At Derby yesterday the
supply both of wheat and barley was very small, and
each article in demand; for the former there was a ready
sale at horn is to 2s, and for the latter at fully is per
quarter more money than hat week. In other things
no alteration. Wheat, red, 36s to 403 per 36 atone;
ditto, white, 403 to 475; barley, for malting, 26s to 30s
imperial measure; ditto, for grinding, 233 to 25s per 30
stone; oats, old, 22s to 26s per 24 stone; ditto, new, 18s
to 21s; beans, old. 36s to 39s per 38 stone; flJur, 27s to
283; superfine, 30s to 31s per 20 stone. At Newark, on
Wednesday, there was a very small supply of gram in
th© market of ail kiuds, yet business was tolerably active
in every department. For wheat of best and even secon-
dary qualities there was a clear advance of fully Is a
quarter. Barley, good samples, also realized that im-
proved price. Inferior qualities remained stationary at
last week% rates, as also did oats, beans, and peas.
Wheat, white, 41s to 455; red, 35s to 398; barley, for
malting, 26s to 305; for grinding, 203 to 243; oats, 17s
to 265; beans, 26s to 345. A rise in the price of wheat
and barley of good qualities is also indicated by the quo-
tatiens of other secondary local markets held during the
latter part of the present week. The supply of wheat
at our own market to-day was small, the demand for
which was good at an advance of Is, and in some in-
stances 2s per quarter from the prices of last week.
Barley was also a ready sale at is to 2s per quarter
more money. In oats and beans no alteration.
At Sudbury, on Thursday, wheat had a brisk sale at
late rtes, and good barley was quite is per qr. dearer.
At Bury the wheat trade was raised from la to 2s per
qr.; barley also was dearer, especially samples fit for
malting.

At Woodbridge the quotations for both wheat and
barley were raised is.; other grain, though not nominally
higher, sold freely.
On Thursday, at Stowmarket, barley advanced 6d to
Is per qr., and the wheat trade was considered a shade
higher.

The markets of Herts have improved in the same pro-
portion. At Bishops Stortford, on Thursday, barley, an
Important article in that malting district, though in
largo supply, advanced and in some cares is per qr.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JAN. I.—The numbers
at the market to-day were—oxen, 732 ; sheep, 1,435.
The supply of cattle being about that of previous mar-
kets, and the quality good, prices ruled about the same
AS last week. Best ox beef, 465, ourrent 423 to 43, infe-
rior, 34s to 403 per cwt, sinking the offal; a few turned
out unsold. The supply of sheep was below the usual
average, but equal to the demand. Best aged wethera
50, current 4i i to sd, inferior 3d to 4d per lb., sinking
the (ail; a few left unsold.

DUBLIN, JAN. 2.—There was a moderate eupply at

met a steady demand, at the currencies of Tuesday, in
which wo note no change. Fureign wheat generally
dull, and Indian corn without alteration in valufs..

CORK, JAN. 2.
During tho last day or two, we have had some) brisk :-
ness in the trade, in wheat especially, a considerable
business having een done in the article, which is very
firm with an upward tendency. Oats excepted, the
value of other descriptions of grain also is firmly main-
tained. Wa have bat few arrivals to notice from abroad,
while the receipts of home grain also are very moderate,
Ike supply for the week amounting to only:—wheat,
334 brls at 17s 6d to 203 6d per brl; barley, 762 brls at;
lOs 64 to 12s 3d per brl; oats, 2,333 brls at 9s to 1011 6(1
per brl. There is scarcely any alteration in the value
of either description of grain since our last. As we be.
fore remarked we have had a pretty brisk business pass-
ing in foreign wheat. Several large parcels have changed
hands, and though we can scarcely quote any actual ad-
vance on the article, there is great briskness in the trade
and a manifest upward tendency. Barley continues its
the same brisk demand noticed of late, and prices are
firmly maintained, Oats, with depressed advices from,
and large arrivals at the English side, are dull, and we
have not heard of any transactions in the article. Prices
continuo nominally as last quoted. The bakers not
having fully worked cff their Christmas stocks, are not
as yet in the market as purchasers. The trade in flour
therefore is quiet, and we have no alteration in prices.
