appears that not only ROSENCRANZ but BURNSIDE
also, who was known to have been hastening to the
assistance of his brother-in-arms, had been placed
in a position of the most imminent jeopardy. Our
next accounts will inform us whether from this
perilous position they have either of them been able
to escape.

The news which we get from Lancashire becomes
every week more encouraging. The most sanguine
could not have hoped that the dark cloud of distress
would have altogether rolled away, but it has
lightened as much as we could reasonably
expect.
The recipients of relief are every day diminishing
in number, and, what is still more
satisfactory, that
diminution is owing not todechureatsetcle

that " the returns for the month
g
of tehneeEmamrul
wenading the 26th of September last, show continued
increase in the amount of employment in the mills,
and manufactories in the cotton districts. It like-
wise appeared from the monthly report of the
honorary secretary that the total amount of per-
sons relieved in September was 184,625 against
456,786 in last January. We were, however,
already aware that the number of paupers had
considerably decreased since the opening of the
year, and there is, therefore, more ground for
satisfaction in the gradual increase or work which
has steadily taken place since the turn of the
summer. The statistics of the numbers in work
full time, short time, and out of work altogether
in the last weeks of July, August, and Septem-
ber, show us an increase of more than 30,000 in the
full time, and a decrease in those out of work
of nearly 18,000. Such facts as these speak for
themselves, and are especially reassuring during the
autumnal months. We can look forward with less
anxiety to the coming winter with these cheering
auspices. The report further tells us that of these
hands working on short time a much larger propor-
tion than formerly are now working more than

three days. The reduction in the number of reci
pients of relief during the last month has been con
siderable, 14,773 being no longer in receipt of relies
from the local committees, while the number ol

those wholly or partially dependent on the guar-
dians is lessened by 5,963. Mr. FARNALL, in con-
firming the satisfactory report, pointed out that the
pauperism of the last week in September was less
by 27,557 than that of the corresponding week in
last year. Such statistics as these tend to reassure
the nation, and stimulate the benevolent to fresh
efforts to carry the suffering country through the
storm. But it must not be imagined, though the
danger has diminished in its urgency, that the need
for he!p is past or the day of trouble over. On the

contrary, under the present improved circumstances,
there are still more than 160,000 persons entirely

out of work, and more than 100,000 working short
time. When we attempt to give vitality to these
lifeless figures, to bring actually before our minds
a faint shadow of the want and wretchedness which
these words convey, we shall be appalled at the
prospect. The most strenuous and unremitting
labours of official relief and voluntary assistance, the
most ready and liberal help from the nation at
large, cannot prevent these sufferers from feeling
cold and hunger, want of food and want of clothes,
want of work and want of fire, through no fault of
their own. The stores of the most prudent are long
since exhausted, the courage of the stoutest-hearted
must have oftentimes flagged ere this ; yet we hear

of no outbreaks, no riot or loud-voiced disconten

The men and women of Lancashire have borne the
trial nobly, in a spirit well befitting the mighty
race from which they spring. They aro now, thank

GOD, animated by fresh hope, and may reasonably
look to better and happier times, when the whir-
ring mills shall be no longer silent, and the
willing hand shall no more seek for work in ♦ain.
It would ill become us now to relax our efforts when
the demaLd upon us is no longer so great, though
equally pressing in its urgency. If Lancashire were
to ask in vain now, it would be as though we carried
a man from a shipwreck to drop him in the breakers,
making all our previous risk and exertion fruitless
by our ill-timed precipitancy. One very simple
and practical mode of relief there is which is within

the reach of most of us, and it is one especially
asked for by those best acquainted with the needs
of the people. The increasing cold of the weather,
and the employment of large numbers of men upon
outdoor work during the winter, render gifts of

clothing one of the most acceptable forms which
benevolence can take, and, in fact, so much is this
want felt that, on the motion of Sir J. K. SHUTTLE•

WORTH, seconded by Colonel WILSON PATTEN, the
following minute was adopted by the committee :

" That, having regard to the fact that in certain very
populous districts the distress continues intense, it

is desirable
fo
rh
t thatose a
supplyo clothingfoe n e ral donations
should

ob-
tained districts by y further, considering the number of factory operatives
likely to be employed on out-door labour under the
Public Works Act during the winter, this com-
mittee invite donations of suitable clothing for them
and for their wives and families," There is no fear
that the recent legislation will be useless, for Mr.
FARNALL informed the meeting ha had learned
from the Poor Law Board that more than a million
of money had already been applied for under the
Public Works Act. Part of this had been directed
to the estate of Lord EDWARD HOWARD, thereby
producing a considerable difference in the number
of recipients of relief at Glossop. Altogether the
prospects in the North are most satisfactory, and
the bountiful harvest will help still further to im-
prove the condition of the poor. The gloomy prog-
nostications which some persons indulged in are
thus happily likely to prove eptircly incorrect,
while those calculations founded on reason and
experience, which foretold the
certain revival of so large and important a trade, seem about to be fully
realised.

fifty people are crowded together,. It is seventy
years ago since it was built. It appeared from the
evidence of a witness, who was examined at the in-
quiry, that he had lived in the squaro for the last
thirteen years, and that during that period there
had often been a deficit of water for eighteen
months together ; and during the hottest time of
the present summer there was none to bo had for
three weeks at a stretch. The disastrous results
that ensued will be best seen from the fact that in
the twenty•two houses no fewer than twenty chil-
dren had been attached, and twelve had diet?.
Sorely
this speaks for itself of the exceeding scan-
tiness of the
arrangementsthat were made regard-
ing 'the sanitary
condition of these places. Mr.
GAY, senior surgeon of a po the Great Northern Hospi-
tal, made st-raortern examination of one of the
children, and gave it as
out hesitation, his opinion, expressed with
n-.
, that the ‘.
owing in allchild had died of blood
disease,
probability to ti e drinking of

impure water, and from the want of sanitory mea-
sures in the house and its vicinity." This is enough
of itself to prove without doubt that great blame is
attributable to those whose duty it was to see to
those important things, and nothing can excuse
such wilful neglect of the vital interests of those
confined to such narrow limits. It is bad
enough to live in such crowded confines,
without being subjected to the fearful in-
conveniences and the poisonous vapours that
were endured by these wretched victims. These
unhappy inmates must have undergone dreadfal
sufferings during the great heat of this summer,
and it is frightful to contemplate what the poor
children went through before death mercifully ter-
minated their troubles. It appears that when the
inhabitants complained to the rent collector they
were only laughed at for their pains, and he asserted
that it was all right. In consequence of the com-
plaints that were made the brokers were put in to
some families, and this created the greatest confu-
sion, as no previous notice had been given. This
was barbarous conduct, and those who authorised it
took advantage of the poverty of their lodgers to
continue unredressed the grievances that would not
for a moment have been tolerated in richer parishes,
or with mere independent tenants. It has come to
something if the poor of London are to die of
diseaee, and see their children droop and perish,
because they dare not make any complaint. An-
other attempt was made to benefit their miserable
condition by some of the inhabitants, who memo-
rialised, last August, the Medical Department of
the Privy Council-office, but they reaped no good by
this motion. The red-tapism of official existence
must be preserved intact, though all the inhabitants
of a city should be the sufferers, instead of a few
isolated witnesses. Thus, for answer, was sent the
information that the complainants had applied to
the wrong quarter, and that the complaint should
have been addressed to the vestry of the parish.
Then the distracted sufferers applied to the Home
Secretary, who regretted that he had no power to
interfere, and recommended them to appeal to a
justice of the peace, and the justices in petty ses-
sions could make inquiry as to the validity of the
complaints. Before all this rigmarole had
been gone into, death, who waits for no
leave from official guardians of the public safety/
had appeared upon the scene, and thus the inquiry
of the coroner had made public the sad details-
Now, it must appear to all who attentively study
the subject that these arbitrary rules arid regula-
tions are very much to be deplored ; they militate
against all remedy to the nuisance. Only those
who are quite independent of the vestry, and tile
rent collector, and all the parish authorities put
together, can face the evil, and insist on having some
remedy applied. It is far otherwise with the poor,
crushed down by an accumulated load of misery,
harassed by conflicting claims, with hungry children
crying for bread, and with work slack, and perhaPs
failing for a time altogether. How shall the poor
man find time, money, or strength to make the
necessary complicated arrangements, and to dare
the wrath of his offended landlord. The poor shall
never cease out of the land, We are informed in
Scripture, but it behoves all lawmakers and rulers
so to fashion their schemes that the poor should be
protected—should be allowed, at least, to live in
freedom and to die at a natural time. Of coarse,
now that the affair is public, inquiries are to be in-
stituted, and doubtless some salutary alterations
will be made. But let no one concerned in them
presume to take credit to themselves for the lin.
provement. Before they stirred in the affair, the
poor little victims bad been offered up on the shrine
of conventionalism. For the credit of our country
let not such a sacrifice be called for again. Better
break through a dozen rules and absurd forms than
that one child should perish in a disgraceful
manner
to suit the greed of some parties, the culpable neglect
of others, and the general inattention that charac-
terises too many of those who have the care of tae
dwellings of the poor. The mortality in Bethnal-
green should long be a warning to all those who
are in any way concerned in the transaction.

COTTON fifty years ago was almost unknown,
and no more wool and flat were worked than there
was absolute need for; whereas now the annual value of
our cotton manufactures exceeds £70,000,000, while the
trade in woollen goods and yarn is worth £14,000,000, and
that in flax can be hardly less. In 1811 we imported 364,000
quarters of seed for the manufacture of oil, in
number was 630,000, and, in 1856, 1,100,000, producing
144,000 tons of cake and 56,000 of oil. In 1835 the weight
of manufactured paper was 70,000,000 pounds;it
was 1645 t
was 124,000,000; in 1855 it stood at 167,000,000 ; in 1859
it had risen to 218,000,000; 1851 the
and in six years it is estimated
that it will reach 300,000,090.
CURIOSITIES OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY IN THE
lONIAN ISLES : as recently described by Professor
Anted.—Several valleys and circular depressions in
,hese
those
islands receive drainage without apparent
outlet. These
abound in Corfu, Santa Maura, and Cephalonia. They oc-
cur also in Zante, rendering the islands less healthy than
they would otherwise be. They are,
beyond doubt, results
of the peculiarly cracked and open
condition of the lime-
stone rock of which the whole of the islands may be said to
be made up. There are also in these islands various .
flowing currents of sea water. Very clearly connected with
the same condition of the rock is the curious
phenomena
presented near the town of Argostoli, the capital of Cepha-
lonia. The town is on a low steep of cracked and cavernous
limestone, a foot or two above the highest ordinary level of
the sea, on one shore of a small creek, separated by a higher
ridge of similar limestone from the Gulf of Argostoli.
There is hardly more than a few inches perceptible tide in
this part of the Mediterranean, and even in
this creek the
rise, though multiplied, is small. At four places close to
the town there aro small inlets or cracks, a few feet wide,
entering some hundred yards into the land, and terminating
in broken, rocky, cavernous spaces. Instead of the ordinary
phenomena of the fresh water running over the land to the
sea, we have here the reversed phenomena of the sea com-
ing in by these crevices, running for some distance over the
land, and finally entering and becoming lost in the earth.
It is nothing unusual in limestone countries to find water
disappearing in the earth; but it is certainly exceptional
that this should be sea-water, and that it should continue
permanently.

THE GHOST AND OUR COMING PANTOMIMES.—
The new Ghost, remarks the London Review, per-
vades the British drama. In the metropolis and large
towns the spectre of the green-room has a hard fight to
wage with the rival spectres of the music-halls and the
lecture-room. But he is the "star" of provincial theatres.
Dramas are written in his honour. The " play of Hamlet
with the part of Hamlet left out" is a respectable old joke,
which has served its turn. The modern manager may leave
out not only Hamlet but Ophelia, King, Queen, Polonius,
and the grave-diggers, so that the (host be left. A civil
engineer and a Polytechnic lecturer have given a new di-
rection to our dramatic literature. Dramas are written for
their spectres. At present these looking-glass ghosts keep
wry disreputable company. They are mixed up with mid-
night assassins. Their revelations are of poisoned goblets
and knives. They have a churchyard air about them, and
vanish with the cock-crow. But familiarity breeds cm-
tempt, and there are not wanting signs that the new patent
ghost will speedily descend into the regions of comedy and
farce. Our modern burlesque writers aro not endowed

NEW YORK, SEPT. 26 (Morning).
Admiral Milne, in the flagship Nile, left Halifax
on the 24th inst. for New York.

The steamer Juno has been captured,

Advices from Ganeral ltosencranz to the 24th

inst. report that the Confederates are in force in his
front. The Confederate infantry are massed in
Chiekamunga Creek and Valley. It is rumoured
that Sherman's corps of Grant's army joined Rosen-
cranz on the 23d inst. Great anxiety is still felt
for the safety of General Burnside. The opinion
prevails that he will be cut off if he attempt to
reinforce Rosencranz. A Confederate column has
crossed the Missionary Ridge, it was supposed to
intercept Burnside. The press correspondents re-
present the battle of the 19th inst. as a drawn battle,
but in the engagement of the 20th Rosencranz suf-
fered a disastrous defeat. His left and right were
completely routed, and his retreat to Rossville was
conducted in great disorder. The troops became
disorganised, immense numbers running to the rear
after the retreat.

Baird Neg ley, Reyn olds's, Brennan's, and Harker's
divisions alone retained cohesiveness, and took a posi•
tion along the base of the Missionary Mountains for
another fight, and held their ground against another
attack by Polk's corps until the Confederates
abandoned the contest. It is estimated that Rosen-
cranz lost 50 cannon, and 10,000 men killed,
wounded, and missing, besides a large amount of
material. Unless Rosencranz received prompt rein-
forcements it was feared he would be flanked and
compelled to retreat across the Tennessee River.
The Confederate Generals Preston, Smith, Hood,
Deshler, and Helm are killed, and Adams, Gregg,
and Brown are wounded.

The Southern journals think that if General
Rosencranz is permitted to hold Chattanooga
General Bragg's victory will be without profit.
The accounts are conflicting concerning the num-
ber of General Lee's troops who were with Bragg,
but it is believed that General Lee's army has not
been very materially weakened.

The news from General Meade's Army is meagre,
nothing positive being known concerning the pros.
pects of an early engagement on the Rapidan, or of
General Meade's intentions.

Considerable cavalry skirmishing has taken place
near Madison Court House.

General Whit3'3 Confederate cavalry have been
marauding in Maryland.
The Southern journals represent the armies on
the Rapidan in line of battle within a few miles of
each other. The Confederates hold all the fords of
the Rapidan in force.

The Confederates are reported to be threatening
the Federal lines in North Carolina.
Two thousand of General Burnside's troops were
repulsed in an attack upon ZolHeater, in Tennessee.
The Russian flagship Alexander Newsky, Ad•
miral Lasofski, with four other Russian men-of-war,
have anchored in New York harbour. It is
rumoured they will remain there all the winter.
The press urge that a hospitable welcome be
giVen to the Russian officers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.
A correspondent of the New York Journal, who
was an eye-witness of the battles of Chicamanga of
the 19th and 20th, asserts that the army of the
Cumberland has met with a defeat which must put
it on the defensive for some time to come. The
corps of General Thomas was almost the only one
which did any fighting. Those of Gens. M'Cook
and Crittenden were both badly beaten and driven
in all directions on the first day, and on the second
the first charge of the Confederates broke their
lines, routed the entire commands, and drove them
in disgraceful panic into Rossville and Chattanooga.
The Federats lost heavily in material, not less than
50 pieces of artillery falling into the hands of the
Confederates.

The same person adds that Rosencranz is now in
no danger, but that the position of Gen. Burnside
is most critical.
Gen. Bragg officially reports under date of the
21st :

" The enemy retreated on Chattanooga last night,
leaving his dead and wounded in our hands. His
loss is very large in men, artillery, small arms, and
colours. Ours is heavy, but not yet ascertained.
The victory is complete, and our cavalry is pur-
suing. With the blessing of God, our troops have
accomplished great results against
greatly superior
numbers. We have to mourn the loss of many
gallant officers. Brigadier-Generals Preston Smith,
Helm, and Deshles are killed ; Major-General
Hood and Brigadier-Generals Adams, Gregg, and
Brown are wounded."

It is reported from Washington that the Fedora;
cavalry occupied Gordonsville on the night o,
the 23d.

There are rumours that the Confederate General
Hill is at Fredericksburg, marching to flank Gen.
Meade and cut off his communication.
The opinion exists in militarycircles that no con-
siderable portion of General
Lee's army has been
sent out of Virginia.

The Richmond Examiner of the 22d states that
on Sunday and Monday the opposing armies were
drawn up in a line of battle from a half to a quarter
of a mile apart, and at some points in full view of
each other.

Three Russian men.of-war arrived at this port
