SHORT TIME AT BLACKBURN.-It is rumoured that
unless a change for the better takes place in the market
at Manchester, and in trade generally, the manufac-
turers of the town will in a short time run their mills
only three days per week. 120 this be the case it will
materially interfere with the assistance now rendered to
the Preston " lock-outs" by the operatives, who last
week sent upwards of 6001., to which may be added the
contributions of the amalgamated trades.
. RELIEFS AND REINFORCEMENTS. -We understand
that no regiments now in the Mediterranean will this
season be sent to the West Indies, in consequence of the
disturbed state of our political relations with Russia.
The regiments named as relief are virtually to be a rein-
forcement of the troops in Gibraltar, Malta, and the
lonian Isles.—Naval and Military aazette.
