On Wednesday, the Bedfordshire Militia, which
has been for the last sixteen months quartered at
Little Hampton, in Sussex, commenced its march
for Northampton, to which place it was ordered to
proceed by forced marches. The Regiment pa'ssed

A meeting of Magistrates and neighbouring
Gentry was held last week at Carlisle, which was
numerourly attended by the townspeople and work-
men. Some of the weavers stated, that in conse-
quence of the low price of labour, they were com-
pelled to perform twice the former quantity of work,
and• thus nearly double the quantity of goods was
manufaCtured by the same number of hands, as
other wise would have been ; that they had previous-
ly presented a petition.to the Magistrates for advance
of wages; and that, though promises of an advance
had, on A recent occurrence, been held out, tbeae
piomises were no longer regarded. The meeting
brae 'up without doing any thing. A deputation
•of weavers waited on Mr. CHRISTIAN, with a. pe-
tition, in which were abstracts from two Ads of
Parliatrfent, asserting the power of the Magistrates
to regulate-the price of manual labour. Mr. C.
protnised them, that, as soon as possible, his fa-
ther, Mr. CUR \C'EN, would hold a meeting of the
Magistrates, when their Petition should be duly
"considered.

guage. He wai. a promising young man, and an
enthusiast in thecause in which he was lost, and
suptc,secl to understand the Arabic .language 'better
'than any European who ever before entered Africa.
At an early age, he formed the plan of going to that
county, and gaVe up his connections and a compe-
tency

His father was a character well known in Europe,
who raised himself from obscurity to the greatest
celebrity by his taie9t for mechanics ; he was at•cne
