MR. COSTELLOE.—Yesterday two warrants
for the apprehension of Mr. COSTELLOE arrived in town,
one directly from Dublin, and the other by the way of
Dungannon ; but he had gone off in the morning coach
before their arrival. We expected something of this kind.

The works in Hungerford-market were com-
menced yesterday. Part of the river is to be embanked.
It is expected that all the neighbouring wharfs will ulti-
mately be brought out to the same extent as the market,
so that the property of the Duke of NORTHILMPERLIND
will be considerably improved. The City Navigation
Improvement Committee have taken pains to set out the
line of improvement.

Boos OF THE SEASONS.—This newly
drawn picture of nature in her various aspects is from the

The reader of this zitlightful manual will rise from its
perusal with enlarged views of Natural History, and with
improved taste as regards landscape scenery, and other
picturesque effects in the external troth!.

ORA N GEMEN.—We understand that this
body has lately been greatly augmented in the north, and
a new lodge of highly respectable members is about to be
formed in Belfast; and this is the consequence of O'Cos-
NELL'S agitation—many public-spirited persons who, in
ordinary cases, would condemn such associations, being
now of opinion that they are at this time called on to
counteract the agitator's insidious efforts to produce revo-
lution in this country, —Betrust Chronicle.

A meeting to petition for Parliamentary
Reform was held in the Town-hall, Northampton, on
Wednesday, which was very numerously and respectably
attended. The 11.1 AN-cm was in the chair.

The coopers of Cork and their families num-
-I,er 3,000 individuals, 2,600 of whom are in extreme dis-
tress from want of employment. The trade of the city eq.
Cork was never in so low a state as at present.
The measles, we regret to learn, are still pre-
valent in Banff. Scarcely, a family in which there are
young children, is escaping. In one instance the mother
and a numerous family were all attacked by them at once.
It is satisfactory to add that they have only proved fatal
in one case, that of a child.—Elgin Courier.

In the weaving districts around Glasgow work
is uncommonly plentiful. Light work, which always used
to be best paid, is now lower paid in comparison than any
other description of plain work, notwithstanding the late
advance of half a set in this branch. Owing to the
low rates for light work, a number of districts that were
formeily employed in this description of goods have turned
to the heavy fabrics, and are succeeding better. In
B, idgeton, which contains between 2000 and 3000 weavers,
there is scarcely a light web going. The Pollockshaws
lawn weavers have also changed to the heavy fabrics. In
the eastern districts, including Camlachie, Parkleid,
Esstmuir, Tolleross, Baillieston Toll, &c.,
comprising
between 3000 and 4000 lawn weavers, a number have
directed their attention to the heavy and coloured work,
and more are anxiously endeavouring to procure the same
kind of work. The wages of the weavers run from 6s.
to 9s. a week.-- Caledonian Mercury.
