CHURCH EXTENSION IN ST. PANCRAS.—A lady has
offered, through the Hon. Captain Maude, 100/., to meet
nine other similar gifts, towards a church dedicated to
the Holy Trinity, in the parish of St. Pancras. It is
proposed to erect the church in th., newly• formed eccle-
siastical district of which the Rev. David Saing has been
appointed the incumbent. The names of two other per-
sons willing to contribute to the same extent have been
handed in.

PlRATES.—Extract of a letter from Lloyd's Agent
at Salonica, 30:h August:—" I regret having to report
that the Nohd Meta, Captain Dalenzi, has been commit-
ting depredations, with a band of pirates, at the Island
of ThasAos, where they plundered on the 22d inst., an
Austrian merchant ves.el; from thance they went to
Mount Athos, where they landed and committed various
acts of plunder. They then proceeded to the Gulf of
Cortessa, landed at Ichiasse (marked in the charts
Imbole), plundered the custon-house, and killed the
three custom-house officers in charge. I have forwarded
a report of these proceedings to his Excellency her
Nfajesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, who will pro-
bably dispatch the Tartarus, Commander Sir Godfrey
Webster, in quest of these freeboters."

DUNLELD BRANCH OF THE SCOTTISH MIDLAND
RAILWAY. —We understand the directors of this com-
pany have again had under their consideration the pro-
priety of proceeding with the Dunkeld branch of their
line, and Mr. Licke has personally gone over it within
the last few days for that purpose. The result is, we
hear, a determination to contract for seven miles of the
proposed branch, bringing the line to Birnatn Hill,
within three miles of Dunkeld. This will be important
news for the Highlands as well as to Dunkeld itself,
from the stimulus which it is likely to give to the de-
mand for the minerals and wood of the district, as well
as facilities to tourists and travellers.—l'erth Courier.
LEICESTER TRAWL—There having been buyers in
the town from various districts has caused business to be
active amongst the manufacturers. It is also expected
that a fair autumnal trade will be doing for some time
to come. Prices of material are firmly maintained.
The wrought hose branch have obtained another advance
of 31 per dozen, a step to which we believe there was
no . opposition " This affords a gratifying proof of the
improved state of trade in Leicester since 1848, and a
general impression prevails that this state will continue
at present. It is very desirable on every ground that
the workmen should rightly appreciate and seise upon
the rreient opportunities of improving their circum-
stances, which higher wages, combined with cheap pro-
visions and full employment afford. They should bear
in mind that on their attention.to this will materially de-
pend their ability to main ta n their advanced wages.
Each individual should now aim so far at personal inde-
pendence as to save something from his earnings to-
wards supplying his wants when his labour may not be
so much in demand, instead of bi ink; compelled, when
trade somewhat &clines, to propose working at reduced
wages. It is too obvious that amongst workmen this is
often entirely overlooked, and that instead of perform-
ing more labour, and producing more goods at a time of
brisk demand, they even do less than in a bad state of
trade, and when the demand is falling off N teligh‘gm
