On Sunday last another important meeting of
delegates connected with the Cotton-spinners associa-
tion was held at Alanellvster, to receive the decision
of each district in reference to a general cessation
from work for a short period in all the manufactur-
ing towns.
The following places were represented :—Ashton-
under-Lyne, Bolton, Manchester, Blackburn, Pres-
ton, Enfield, Burnley, Chorley, Dukinfield, Hey-
wood, Mosley, Oldham, Shaw Chapel, Stockport, and
the central committee.

The subject about which they had met was fully
discussed, and ultimately the following resolutions
were agreed to :

Ist. " That deputations be appointed to wait upon
all the masters in Ashton-under-Lyne who have pro-
posed a reduction of wages, to endeavour to prevail
upon them to withdraw the same ; and that if the
whole of them do not agree to the request, each and
every district to cease labour on the 21st of October."
2d. " That each district where strikes at present
exist, appoint a deputation to wait on their employers
and request of them to give up the contest, and allow
the men their former list."

Several of the delegates suggested the propriety of
sending a deputation to London, for the purpose of
laying before her Majesty's Ministers the great pri-
vations and sufferings of the operatives in the manu-
facturing districts.
It was resolved " That a memorial be drawn up
detailing particulars as to the position of the manu-
facturing population, and requesting that some steps
may be taken to alleviate their present sufferings."
It was also resolved " That the deputation be ap-
pointed from Manchester, Bolton, Ashton, and
Oldham."

A committee was appointed to draw up the me-
morial, and they were instructed to forward a com-
munication to Lord John Russell, informing him that
a deputation had been appointed, who would feel
obliged by their being acquainted when they could
be favoured with an interview.—The meeting then
separated.— Liverpool Mercury.

DISTRESSING SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon an
inquest was taken before Mr. William Baker, at the
Monmouth Arms, Singleton-street, Hoxton, on the body
of William Rawlinson, aged 17 years, who committed
suicide by swallowing a large quantity of oil of bitter
almonds under the following distressing circumstances:—
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a
lawyer's clerk, and resided with his parents at No. 44,
Singleton-street. He had been for some 'considerable
time studying chemical works and other philosophical
matters. lie was in the habit of locking himself up in
his room for the purpose of preventing his friends
molesting him. He had made several experiments, but,
in consequence of the frequent loud reports and explo-
sions, his father threatened to destroy all his books.
He was discharged from his situation on Saturday, the
9th instant, in consequence of his inattention to busi-
ness, and he was often remonstrated with by his em-
ployer, Mr. Wyatt, a solicitor, in Chancery-lane. His
mind always appeared to be occupied by his studies, and
he seldom addressed way person except in monosyllables.
He latterly appeared very cheerful, and on Saturday
last he retired to rest as usual with his younger brother.
About one o'clock on the following morning his brother
was alarmed by his attempting to jump out of bed. The
deceased then fell back on the bed and groaned very
heavily. Mr. Young, a surgeon, was sent for, who
at.ended immediately, and found the deceased quite
dead. He smelt strongly of prussic acid, and the sur•
geon discovered two small bottles in the bed-clothes, and
one also on the table; which had contained oil of bitter
almonds. The jury returned a verdict of—" Temporary
insanity."
PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a very fully
attended meeting of the directors and guardians of the
above parish, was held in the vestry-room adjoining the
workhouse, Mr. B. Wright in the chair. Mr. Howarth,
the chairman of the committee lately appointed to con-
sider the dietary of the workhouse, read a report to the
following effect:—" The committee have carefully con •
sidered the matter, and with respect to the dietary of the
workhouse, are of opinion that several alterations in h.
should be adopted, by which means three regular meals
per day would be secured to the inmates. By the pro-
posed dietary some deductions would be made from the
present dietary table, but some very important, though
not expensive, additions were proposed to be made, and
they were such as were calculated to increase the nutri-
ment and promote the content of She inmates. And the
committee was also of opinion that if the dietary, as
suggested, was adopted, the inmates would not require
any additional food, rind they therefore recommend that
as soon as the new dietary be adopted, the sale of pro-
vhions in the workhouse be wholly prohibited, and no
uncooked food of any sort be permitted to be brought
into the house by the inmates or their friends." On the
motion for the reception of the above report, a v.- ry long
discussion ensued, during which Dr. Bermingham de-
nounced the inefficiency of the dietary, stating that even
in its increased state it was surpassed in union work-
houses and prisons. Eventually the report was received,
and was ordered to be printed and circulated amongst
the members of the board, who are to be specially sum-
moned to take it into consideration on Tuesday next.
The board after this separated.
PINEAPPLES IN FRANCE.--A vessel arrived in the
river from Rouen bas brought two barrels of pine-
apples, the growth of France. We are cot an are that
any distinct importation of this luscious and esteemed
fruit has before taken place from this continental state of
Europe. It is known that at the present time there are
considerable quantities of nuts and orchard fruits of the
various kinds in season brought to this country from
France, which have been preceded by a profusion of
atone and other fruits, throughout the summer, but no
especial mention has been made of their including any
supply of pines, neither do we believe that any have
taken place. The importations of pineapples, which have
been very extensive this summer, from the West Indies,
and which poured into the markets at such a rate as to
cause them for a length of time to be in the greatest
abundance, and attainable at a very moderate price by
all classes of the community, have ceased for the season,
and this fine fruit has again obtained its exclusive and
expensive character. This importation from France,
therefore, brcomes an important feature in the supplies
of fruit from abroad, and for the reasons stated, is of
much interest.
DELIGHTS OF MARRIAGE.-011 Thursday last,
were married at High-street Chapel, in Huddersfield,
Mr. William Hirst to Mrs. Sarah Armstone. The
number of years these happy people have passed on
earth amount to 141 ! the jovial bridegroom being 70
years old, and his blooming partner 71 years ; and they
have been married, now, the husband to his fourth wife,
and the lady to her third husband.—Leeds Intelligence'''.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, OCT. 18.—The usual meeting of the Re-
peal Association was held this day, at Conciliation
Hall. Scully, Esq., in the chair.
The proceedings of this day were more than usually
uninteresting.
Mr. SCULLY, M.P. for Tipperary, made an an-
nouncement of what he was sure would be pleasing
news, namely, that the Government, aware of the
distress and destitution in the west, had already
ordered 1.200 tons of meal to be stored there.

Mr. JOHN O'CoNriELL, M.P., and Mr. J. REY-
NOLDS, M.P., addressed the meeting on a variety of

.opies.
The rent for the week amounted at post hour
to 401.

ROBBERY OF MR. COFFEY, PAY-CLERK.

Another of the notorious " Steel" Maddens, a
young girl, has been committed for trial, for having
changed at a shop in this town during the fair week
one of the bank notes robbed from Mr. Coffey, in
December last, by Edward Madden and a gang, the
two principals of which are sentenced to transporta-
tion. It appears that one of the family got change
for separate notes on the day in question, which was
afterwards discovered by that very efficient officer,
head-constable M‘Neiss, of this town, who succeeded
in tracing the matter to the proper source. The
young female, Anne Madden, was fully committed at
Laurencetown Petty Sessions, on Thursday, but the
brother, Patt, who passed the note, has not yet been
arrested.—Ballinasloe Star.
FEVER.

We regret to say that fever is on the increase in
Coleraine. The clerk of the guardians has fallen a
victim. Four of the poor. law guardians, who caught
the disease while attending a meeting of the board on
Monday se'nnight, are still suffering under the attack.
—Coleraine Chronicle.

Fever is still very prevalent in this town, but very
fortunately it is not attended with that mortality
which characterises it in other districts.—Tyrawly
Herald. _ _

DROGHEDA.—We regret to state that this disease
is rather on the increase than otherwise, 170 patients
being at present in the Marsh fever hospital, and no
more room for applicants.
