COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, OCT. 30.—We have no improvement
to notice in the general aspect of the markets, which,
considering the time of the year, are more than usu-
ally inactive.
There is much anxiety for later advices from
abroad, and the delay for a few days past of those
expected by the French steamer tends to increase it,
many operations being in abeyance on this account.
The Money Market has become somewhat strin-
gent, owing, it is believed, to the movements of the
banks•consequent upon the making up of their quar-
terly returns.

Gold continues to be shipped to England and
France, about half a million of dollars going forward
from New York and Boston in the packets and
steamer of the Ist proximo, being by many preferred
to bills in the present unsettled and uncertain state of
commercial credit in Europe.
Cotton—ln our last summary of the Cotton Mar-
ket we noticed the prevalence of much dullness, with
a decline of 11c. after the arrival of the Cambria,
which, with that previously established, made a re-
duction since the beginning of October of three cents
per lb. ; subsequent to that notice, say to Tuesday,
the 26th of October, a further reduction of three-

FR BIG [ITS —To Liverpool, we notice engagements
of cheese at 255. Cotton pl. for square bales; and
apples 3s. per barrel. There is no flour oth?ring. 'ro
London, there are large quantities of cheese going
forward at 355. per ton, and other goods at our quo-
tations. To Havre, 5-le. is demanded for square
cotton, with some engagements ; there is little else
offering. To Antwerp, cotton continues to be taken
at ic., and ashes at 30s. To Rotterdam, lc. for
cotton, and 355. for ashes is obtained. A barque has
been taken up to load salt at Turk's Island, for New
Orleans, at 121 c. per bushel.
EXCHANGE.—The transactions in Foreign Ex-
change for the next steamer have been very small,
buyers and sellers mostly waiting the receipt of later
news from abroad. Sales of bills on London have
been made at 84 to 91 per cent. premium, and on
Paris 5 dolls. 234 c. to 5 dolls. 221 c.; on the other
places there was but little done. We quote bills on
Amsterdam 40ic. to 401 c., Hamburgh 351 c. to 35:1c.,
Bremen 78-Ic. to 78:1c., and Antwerp 40c. to 40,-1-c.

FUNERAL OF THE ARCHBISHOP

OF YORE
The interment of the late Archbishop of York took
place on Saturday, in a large vault beneath a portion
of Stanton Harcourt Church, in Oxfordshire, called
the Harcourt Aisle. The body of the late Archbishop
was conveyed on Saturday morning from Aylesbury,
to which place it had been brought from Bishops.
thorpe, where the late Primate died. It reached
Ensham soon after eleven o'clock. The funeral pro-
cession then proceeded to Stanton Harcourt, which is
about three miles distant. Soon after two o'clock the
chief mourners reached Ensham, immediately upon
which the funeral procession, which had been pre-
viously arranged in the market square, moved on, and
consisted of mutes, about eighty of the tenantry on
horseback, with hatbands and scarfs, the clergyman
in his carriage, the hearse drawn by six horses, fol-
lowed by five mourning coaches and the late
Archbishop's carriage.' iln this order it proceeded,
being joined on its way by numbers of per-
sons who were waiting by the road side. On
reaching the village of Stanton Harcourt the whole
population appeared to be anxiously waiting to
pay their last tribute of respect to one who had so
endeared himself by his kindly intercourse with
them. The Rev. W. Walsh met the corpse at the
church-yard gate, the tenantry forming themselves
on each side till the mourners had passed into the
church. The service was then read, and everything
was conducted with the greatest solemnity and pro-
priety. The coffin, which was covered with black
velvet, trimmed with gilt furniture, with a silver
shield, bore on it the following inscription, " Ed-
ward Harcourt, Archbishop of 'York, born October
10, 1757 ; died November 5, 1847, in the fortieth
year of his primacy." The body was deposited in
the family vault, where no less than eleven of his
ancestors repose. In the same vault were deposited,
after the funeral, the remains of the Archbishop's
lady and his eldest daughter, which had been disin-
terred, and brought, agreeably to his desire, the former
from York and the latter from London. The rela-
tives who attended the funeral were five of the sons
of the Archbishop, namely—Rev. Leveson Vernon
Harcourt, Captain Frederick Vernon Harcourt, Cap-
tain Octavius Vernon Harcourt, Rev. Charles Vernon
Harcourt, Egerton Vernon Harcourt, Esq. ; three
nephews of the late Archbishop, namely—Granville
Egerton Harcourt, Esq., Rev. Evelyn Harcourt
Vernon, Rev. F. B. Booth ; and two sons-in-law of
the late Primate, Sir J. F. B. Johnstone and Lieute-
nant-Colonel Malcolm. Rev. Mr. Baker, of Nune-
ham, also attended.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

TO TUE EDITOR OF TUB TIMES.

Sir,—The following extract, which I believe has
not ben pointed out since the discovery of the electric
telegraph, may not .prove uninteresting to many of
your readers; the number is attributed to Addison.
" Strada, in one of his prolusions, gives an account
of a chimerical correspondence between two friends
by the help of a certain loadstone, which had such
virtue in it that, if it touched two several needles,
when one of the needles so touched began to move,
the other, though at never so great a distance, moved
at the same time and in the same manner. He tells
us that the two friends, being each of them possessed
of one of these needles, made a kind of dial plate,
inscribing it with the four and twenty letters, in
the same manner as the hours of the day are marked
upon the ordinary dial plate. They then fixed
one of the needles on each of those plates in such a
manner that it could move round without im-
pediment, so as to touch any of the four and
twenty letters. Upon their separating from one an-
other into distant countries they agreed to withdraw
themselves punctually into their closets at a certain
hour of the day and to converse with one another by
means of this their invention. Accordingly, when
they were some hundred miles asunder each of them
shut himself up in his closet at the time appointed
and immediately cast his eye upon his dial plate. If
he had a mind to write anything to his friend, he
directed the needle to every letter that formed the
words which he had occasion for, making a little
pause at the end of every word or sentence to avoid
confusion. The friend in the meanwhile saw his
own sympathetic needle moving of itself to every
letter which that of his correspondent pointed at.
By this means they talked together across a whole
continent, and conveyed their thoughts to one an-
other, in an instant, over cities or mountains, seas
or deserts."—(Spectator, No. 241, Thursday, Dec.
6, 1711.)

COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM.--- The officers
comprising the court of a general court-martial, of
which Colonel Charles Menzies,
ICH., of the Royal
Marines, was president, assembled at eleven o'clock,
A.M., on Saturday, the 13th inst., at this garrison, for
the trial of Private Robert Carter, No. 2,344, Ist Bat-
talion Rifle Brigade, for desertion. The president said,
Prisoner, you have heard the charge read against you,
are you guilty or not? The prisoner hung down his
head and refused to answer, when the president told
him that if he refused answering he should take it as a
plea of guilty. The prisoner commenced sobbing, and
pleaded guilty, saying that he had committed a henious
offence, and that they might hang him if they liked.
The prisoner has been in the corps fifteen months, out
of which time he has been in prison seven months ; he
is a native of Canterbury, and previous to his enlistment
was a shipwright in Woolwich Dockyard. This is the
second desertion of the prisoner, and when he found that
he was to be tried by a general court martial he made a
confession that he was an accessory to the murder of
George Clark, one of the metropolitan police, at Dagen
ham, in Essex, in May, 1846, and that it was he that in-
flicted the wound in the policeman's
information
nsoner's confession was laid before Sir George Grey, and,gevening.
after an examination by the proper authorities, the
fr ai tlie o p

con-
elusion is that the prisoner has merely stated that he
was the murderer to get out of the service.

It appears that the unfortunate deceased was named
Thomas Ready, and that he had for a
period of five
years lived as barman there. On Sunday evening, after
taking his tea, he went up stairs, as Was

which excited suspicion, and on Mr. its bed-room,

room he found the door locked on the inside
once or twice without receiving any ans'wer, lleed on

forcing the door a most distressing sight presented itself:
The young man was found lying in a pool of blood,
with his head dreadfully shattered. A pistol was
close
by his body. which evidently had been recentlydis-
charged. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who.
upon his arrival, pronounced life quite extinct. From
the examination made by the surgeon, it is quite clear
that the deceased must have placed the mouth of the
pistol to his left temple, and have fired the contents into
his skull.
The Jenny Lind, of and from Prince Edward's

eleven of the crew, who had been three days and four
nights on the wreck, lashed in the mizen rigging. Six

Lind. Six of the seamen saved were afterwards put on
board the brig Rebecca, bound for Glasgow.

quarter a of cent was submitted. to ;' but for the past
three days the business has been to a fair extent, and
chiefly for export, so that no further decline is ob-
servable ; but, on the contrary, the market has the
appearance of firmness, and on some descriptions a
shade advance has been realized. Our quotations are
varied in conformity. The receipts at all the shipping
ports are 112.180 bales, against 95,401, to the same
dates last year—an increase this season of 7,079 bales.
The total foreign export this
year is 55,192 bales
more than last, say 38,065 increase to Great Britain,
14,712 increase to France, 6,579 increase to North of
Europe, but 4,164 less to other foreign ports. The
shipments from southern to northern ports are 1,559
bales less this season than last; but there is an excess
in stock of 42,399 bales. The sales since our last are
4,600 bales.

THE INCOME-TAX.
(Abridged from the llampshire .Telegraph.)
A public general meeting of the inhabitants of the
borough of Portsmouth on this subject was held at
the Society's Hall, Portsen, on Friday evening, the
worshipful the Mayor, T. E. Owen, Esq., in the chair.
The Right Hon. P. T. Baring, one of the representatives
of the borough, and IL C. Compton, Esq., one of the
Members for the county, were present.
Mr. SHEPPARD moved the first resolution—" That
while this meeting recognises it to be the duty of the
people of this country to bear a fair share of the taxa-
tion necessary for the maintenance of good govern-
ment, they are of opinion that a tax on income is open
to serious objections, inasmuch as it is destructive of
industry, of a highly inquisitorial character, and often
very arbitrarily enforced. They are therefore of opi-
nion that a graduated property-tax would be less ob-
jectionable and more equitable." They were assem-
bled, he said, to consider what was thought to be a
vexatious and arbitrary impost. Unfortunately the
people of this country had been too much occupied
by the strife of party, and the real interests of the
country had been often sacrificed and neglected. The
necessity for the income-tax arose from the shame-
less expenditure of former years; they were now
paying for long and ruinous wars, more calculated to
sustain the privilege of certain classes than for the
benefit of any country on earth.—(Hear, hear.)
Until this year he had been taxed for a great deal
more than his profits, and nearly double what he re-
turned at the present time.—(Hear, hear.) This
ought not to be. If a man took a false oath as to his
income, the Commissioners would indict him for per-
jury. The only way to remedy the evil was to come
to a graduated property-tax, which would screen the
poor man, who had only the means of providing for
his subsistence.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. SLIGHT seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. RICHARD BATCHELOR read a letter from Sir
George Staunton, stating that he had just returned
from a five weeks' tour in Switzerland, and that he
was unable to attend the meeting from fatigue and
the pressure of business ; but that he would not fail
to keep in mind the wishes of his constituents when
the subject came before the House of Commons.—
(Cheers.) He concluded by moving the second
resolution—" That the vexatious spirit in which the
income-tax has been enforced in this district is calcu-
lated to create dissatisfaction and distrust, both to-
wards the law and its administrators, and it is there-
fore desirable a memorial should be sent to the Lords
of the Treasury, stating the grievances in this locality
and the propriety of adopting a graduated property-
tax in lieu thereof, and that if necessary the memo-
rial be followed up by a petition to the House of
Commons."
Mr. THOMAS HOSKINS said he had much pleasure
in seconding the resolution.
Dr. ROLPH supported the second resolution.
Mr. LEGGATT then read a letter from Lord Charles
Wellesley, regretting his inability to attend the
meeting.
Mr. H. J. HOGG then moved the third resolution

—" That the presentation of such memorial, and the
subsequent petition, be entrusted to the care of Mr.
Baring, and that he, with Sir George Staunton and
the county Members, be requested to support the
prayer thereof."
Mr. SHEPPARD seconded this resolution, which was
then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. BARING then rose, and was much cheered. He
came there, he said, simply to hear what they had to
say, as he was anxious to know what their feelings
were on this important subject. He would first al-
lude to the local grievance. He had heard great
complaints of the way in which the tax was here ad-
ministered ; but as an old official servant they would
forgive him for not giving an opinion until he had
heard both sides ; this much, however, he would say—
he would take care that their memorial bad a proper
hearing; he would see that it was fairly looked into;
and, if not redressed, he would present their petition to
the House.—(Hear, hear.) Something clearly required
alteration, such as this great population being dragged
to Fareham, for instance.—(Hear.) If one of the two
must travel, Fareham ought to come to Portsmouth :
people ought not to be inconvenienced in addition to
having to pay their money.—(Hear, hear.) He must
tell them, however, very fairly, that great part of the
grievances was in the nature of the tax and concomi-

iant to it. It was well known that he opposed this
tax.—(Hear, hear.) He was afraid at the time that
it would produce great dissatisfaction and discontent
when worked out ; but he had no hesitation in saying
that the opinion of the country was in favour of the
imposition of the income. tax. He always felt it to
be his duty when the law was settled, not to throw
difficulties in the administration of the government of
the country ; and just at the present moment he was
least of all disposed to do so.—(Hear, hear.) He was
afraid that it was in the nature of the tax that it must
be accompanied by very disagreeable and inquisitorial
powers for the purpose of carrying it out. The prin-
ciple of it was that people should be taxed according
to their income ; but how was that to be got at ? Ile
felt quite sure that all his constituents returned their
incomes correctly—(Laughter)—and no doubt his
friend Mr. Compton would tell them that in South
Hampshire, however it may be in the North, that
you could trust the word of every gentleman.—
(Laughter.) But there were other places and parties
who would not be scrupulous as to the way in which
they made their returns, more especially if you tell
them beforehand that you will take their words for it.
—(Laughter.) If you are to tax people according to
their incomes you must ask questions and turn to
their accounts ; if you.would charge according to their
incomes, you must have this inquisitorial power. He
could not hold out to the meeting any expectation that
any human wisdom or ingenuity could get them out
of this dilemma. There was a necessity for new taxes
when the new tax was levied in 1842, and the coun-'
try then preferred the income-tax to any other mode
of taxation.—(Cries of " No, no.") If the borough
of Portsmouth had objected to it, he received no
petition against it from them.— (Hear.) There
would not be a surplus of the revenue this year ; the
question was whether they would not have an addi-
tion to the income-tax or not. The Government of
the country must make some call or other for addi-
tional revenue. The same reasons that led him to
oppose the income-tax would lead him now to prefer
some other tax to it ; but still if the income of this
country was not able to pay its expenses he would not
be one to repeal the tax without a substitute. He
would, however, oppose any addition to the income-
tax.— (Hear, hear.) It was a temporary expedient to
last three years, but if it was to be increased and
become part of the permanent taxation of this country,
he could not defend the mode in which it was now
taken—he could not defend the fact of life incomes
and incomes derived from trade paying the same
amount.--(Hear, hear.) The Government ought to
get over this difficulty. If they were going to charge
permanently on the tradesman or professional man
the same amount as they now charged on the gentle-
man or the fundholder, who has his entire realised
property, he was not prepared to justify that taxation.
Mr. COMPTON said he came only to listen to their
complaints, and he should be happy to do all in his
power to relieve them. -He was averse to all taxes of
this description. He did not think direct taxation the
best to which we could be subject. He was fully
aware that direct taxation must be resorted to if free-
trade principles were to be carried out.—(Hear, hear.)
Whether free trade would ever be carried out or not was
quite another question ; he firmly believed it never
would. He was more in favour of duties on imports
and indirect taxation versus free trade and direct taxa-

tion. He should be most happy with his Right llon.
Friend to do all in his power to prevent, if possible,
the heavy and oppressive mode in which the .tax was
levied.—(Cheers.)
After some observations from Mr. DART in favour
of the extension of the elective suffrage, _

Mr. LEGGATT then moved that a committee of
thirty persons be named to prepare a memorial and
petition in accordance with the foregoing resolutions.
Mr. MARX seconded the resolution, which was also
carried unanimously.
A committee was then nominated, and Mr. BARING
having moved, and Mr. COMPTON seconded a vote of
thanks to the Mayor, the meeting dispersed.
The hall was densely crowded throughout the pro-
ceedings.

PEDESTRIANISM: H. RUBRIDGE AND G. COOK.—
The race in which these men were engaged, distance

120 yards, for a stake of 25 soya. aside, bOok receiving
two yards' start, was decided yesterday at Mrs. Emer
son's ground, the Old Hat, Ealing. At half-past three
the men showed in racing trim, and after about a dozen
false starts, went away, Cook obtaining a still further
advantage on going off. Rubridgo never could catch his
man, and Cook ran in a winner by a bare yard. The
stone match between Tucker and Hunt did not come off.
HOWARD AND CHEENEY.—The trial of speed between
those runners, 150 yards, for 5/. aside, was also brought
to issue. Howard is well known as " The Kensington
Racer," and Cheeney has his own local fame as a clipper
of Clapham. The race was never in doubt. After
eighty or ninety yards of level running, Howard, self-
contained, shot ahead and defeated Cheeney by a couple
of yards. Hunt, who was engaged in the stone match,
which was a disappointment, then ran a novice for a
sovereign, and defeated him by half a yard, giving two
yards' start.
ENON CHAPEL.—Yesterday Mr. Farquharson, sur-
geon, and assistant to Mr. G. A. Walker, was engaged
disinfecting the burying vault under Enon Chapel, by
chlorine gas, preparatory to its being cleared of the dead
bodies, human bones, and empty coffins, lying there. It
is the opinion of Messrs. Walker, Simpson, and Farqu
parson, that the removal cannot take place before
January without endangering the public health.

ANOTHER ATROCIOUS MURDER IN THE

COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
DUBLIN, Nov 14.—There are further accounts of
crime and disorganization from the counties of Lime-
rick and Clare. The Limerick Chronicle of yester-
day (Saturday) contains the following account of the
most revolting murder, the victim being the wife of a
steward of Sir Matthew Barrington, who lost her
own life in endeavouring to save her husband from
the bullet of the assassin :

" Last evening, at the early hour of seven o'clock,
two armed men, whose faces were blackened to
escape recognition, suddenly entered the house of
John Ryan, steward and bailiff to Sir Matthew Bar-
rington. Bart., within a quarter of a mile of the
village of Murroe, and in the neighbourhood of a
police-station. They cried out, when inside the door,
heads down,' and swore they would have the life of
Ryan, at whom they immediately presented. Ile
caught hold of a friend of the name of Tucker, who
happened to be in the house, and placed him between
the two armed men and himself. A short struggle
ensued, and when they had forcibly disengaged
fucker from Ryan, the latter grasped a chair to de-
fend himself, and the faithful wife throwing herself
between to save her husband's life from the deadly
weapon, received the contents of a gunshot close under
her left breast, which passed out through her back,
and killed the poor woman on the spot ! The
distracted husband rushed to the adjoining room,
where a gun was kept for his protection, and when he
came out found the murderers had disappeared, and
the only object before him was the bleeding corpse of
his unfortunate partner. The horrors of this atrocity
are aggrevated by the circumstance of three young
children being left motherless, the youngest not four
months born, and which Mrs. Ryan had only put
from her breast when rushing to save her husband.
Ryan's house, at Murroe Wood, was burnt down by
incendiaries last year, and he had also received
threatening notices. An inquest was held this after-
noon upon the body, and a verdict of wilful murder
returned against some person or persons unknown."
Accounts have just reached town that yesterday
(Saturday) evening, at about five o'clock, as Mr.
Bailey, a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Tipperay,
was driving in his gig from Nenagh to his residence
at Ballyclough, a distance of about seven miles, he
and his friend Mr. Edge, by whom he was
accompanied, were fired at from behind a ditch, and
Mr. Bailey was dangerously and Mr. Edge
slightly wounded. Up to the time the Lime-
rick mail was passing no further particulars had
transpired, except that it was feared Mr. Bailey's
wounds were mortal.

Yesterday evening one of the labourers employed
on the Great Southern and Western Railway, at Bal-
lybrophy, was found murdered on the railway works ;
his head having been pierced through as if with a
single blow of a pickaxe.
The following are taken from the list of outrages in
the Limerick and Clare papers :
"At an early hour on the morning of Monday, the
house of John Hayes, at Gurtroe, near Ballingarry,
was surrounded by an armed party, who feloniously
entered the same, find deprived the owner of civil
bill decrees, also of his fire-arms ; from which they
went to a neighbour's house and there got forcible
possession of a musket. The party were going off
with their prize, and fortunately, as day was break-
ing, three farm labourers of William Cox and Mr.
Massy, going to work, observed the fellows, whom
they at once suspected, and went in pursuit. The
guilty fugitives quickened their pace, and the
honest labourers gained fast upon their track.
One of the Whiteboys turned round and fired,
to deter his pursuers. It had not the effect, and
the brave fellows gained upon them, who then, in
utter despair, successively threw back a gun, a pistol,
and eventually shook off the shoes from their feet to
facilitate their flight, and embarrass their pursuers.
The three farm servants gathered up the spoil, and
the Whiteboys for the present have evaded detection ;
but we sincerely hope the example we record of sin-
gular regard in this class of life for the rights of
property and the sustainment of the law, will obtain
for these honest men the substantial praise of Govern-
ment, as it must the approval of the public.
"On Tuesday last a party of several armed men
burned the dwelling-house of a poor man named
Carney, residing at Kilmastulla, near Birdhill. The
incendiaries are unknown.

" Sunday night, while on patrole, Constable Corri-
gan and party arrested, in an unlicensed public-house
at Six-mile Bridge, county Clare, five suspicious
characters from the mountainy districts of Trough
and Knockrue, supposed to have been concerned
in the recent attack and robbery of arms from the
houses of Messrs. Frost, at Meelick. When the
police entered the fellows were in private conclave,
and on being questioned as to their business, replied
they were arranging about cattle. They denied
having fire-arms, but on being searched a pistol, heavily
loaded, was found with one of the party, named John
Grady, and subsequently identified as the property of
Mr. James Frost, from whose house it was taken the
night of the outrage. The five prisoners—Michael
and Thomas Howard, John Grady, Michael M‘Na-
mare, and Daniel Mulconry, who are accused of con-
spiracy to murder certain gentlemen in the district
(one of whom, it is alleged, was to have fallen a
victim the same night), were brought before Mr.
O'Brien, R.M., at Six-mile. Bridge, next morning,
and committed to Ennis Gaol to abide trial at next
assizes. On Monday night Sub-inspector Donovan,
of Newmarket, with the police, arrested nine other
bad characters from Trough and Knockrue, in whose
houses fire-arms, powder, ball, &c., were found, and
against whom private information was given to the
sub-inspector, as principals in various outrages per-
petrated in the district."

THE POLISH BALL.—We beg to remind our readers
that the ball at Guildhall for the benefit of the unfortu-
nate Poles takes place to-morrow evening, and to ex-
press a hope that their ;sympathies will be enlisted on
behalf of so laudable an undertaking. The English
public are ever alive and ready to aid the oppressed and
unfortunate, and we hope they will show their determi-
nation to uphold that character by attending the ball to-
morrow evening. By expending a few pounds in the
support of so excellent a charity, the heads of families
will insure to themselves a delightful evening's amu,e-
tnent, and the pleasure of which will be enhanced by the
reflection that they are supporting the cause of the op-
pressed.
STRAND THEATRE.—This little theatre continues
to attract crowded audiences. Last night the romance
of The Blood Bed Knight was revived; by the exertions
of Mr. Archer, Miss Love, Miss J. Coleman, and Miss
Terry, and a good supply Of red fire, it was successful.
The Bottle increases in attraction, although this is the
seventh week of its representation. The interesting
drama of The Dumb Man of Manchester closed the
evening's entertainment. The part of Torn, as played
by Mr. Broadfoot, was worthy to rank after that of one
of the greatest Beni of the stage—the late A. Ducrow.
Parliament opens on Thursday, and the Observer
will publish, on Sunday morning, the 21st November, a
gratuitous half-sheet stamped supplement. The exten-
sive publication of the Observer commences at six, and
concludes at ten on Sunday mornings. The Monday
edition, which contains markets, is best for the country
and abroad. Price of the Observer, with supplement,

MERTHYR.—The depression in the state of trade is
we fear about to operate upon the iron works in this
neighbourhood, as we find that notices have been given
in Cyfarthfa and Plymouth, preparatory it is conjectured'
to a lowering of the wages. hitherto the works have
been carried on steadily in this neighbourhood, and em-
ployment was easily attainable. It is feared that the
example thus given by these two large works will be
followed by the other works in the neighbourhood,
which, as it will take place in the depth of winter, must
be the means of causing considerable distress. The
stoppage of the various railways is supposed to be the
chief cause of this notice, and it is only to be hoped that
the depression will not last a considerable time, but that
the opening of Parliament will again cause such an
impetus as will give steadiness of demand and remu-
nerating prices to all our staple manufactures.—Mon-
mouthshire Merlin.

The Llynvi Iron Works are at a stand for want of
coal. The colliers having left on account of the pro-
posed 25 per cent. reduction in the wages, are now
employed at other works in the neighbourhood. Four
hundred pudlers and other workmen that were dis-
charged from Cwm Avon, have since beem employed in
the Dowlais Works.— W elshman.

DEATHS AMONG THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST-
ELOOD.—The loss of life among tha Catkolic priests,
during the last six or eight months, from fever, con-
tracted in the discharge of their spiritual duties, has
been fearfully great. No fewer than twenty, besides a
bishop, the Right Rev. Dr. Riddle, have fallen victims
to fever alone, all or most of them in the prime of life.
and distinguished for their exemplary zeal and charity.
Ten have died at Liverpool, five at Leeds, and on Wed-
nesday last Bolton added ono to the number, in the per-
son of the Rev. L. Toole, formerly of Weld Bank, near
the Rev.
Chronicle.
