CONFESSIONS OF A THUG.
By Captain MEADOWS TAYLOR,
Of the Service of his Highness the Nizam.
" One would suppose that the exciting and terrible adven-
tures recorded in this work, were the pure offspring of fiction
and romance, but nevertheless they are, in fact, the real con-
fessions of one who took a leading part in those horrible scenes
which disgraced India for so many hundreds of years. Captain
Taylor gives a very characteristic picture of the general habits
of the natives of India, and he describes the country in a gra-
phic and forcible style ; thus giving to the awful characteristics
of the subject an air of authenticity as well as dramatic inte-
rest. In addition to the very strong emotion which a perusal
of the work is calculated to excite, pleasurable feelings will be
derived from the admirable descriptions of very romanth: and
comparatively little known regions, and the peculiarities of their
inhabitants."—Courier.

STOPPAGE OF SIXTEEN COTTON MILLS,
MANCIIESTER.—The town was almost electrified on Monday
morning, the 20th instant, by the unexpected announcement
that no ;ewer than sixteen cotton mills, all of which are con-
fined to the spinning of fine twist, had entirely stopped. It
appears that there is a class of spinners in most mills, where
very fine numbers are spun, who get much more money than do
other spinners in the same mill, merely because such happen to
be employed on coarser numbers. This inequality the opera-
tives are, it is said, willing to regulate; whilst on the other
hand, it is stated that the masters are determined, not only to
equalise the gains, but also to reduce the wages of both the fine
and coarse spinners. This the men say they will not submit
to, and in proof have turned out. It is probable, that out of
10,000 hands thus thrown out of employment, not more than
one-teeth of that number have the least interest in the contest,
inasmuch as the remaining 9-10ths are on weekly wages, with
the reduction of which the masters do not intend to meddle.
The operatives, it would seem from this rash and thoughtless
turn out, have gained no practical wisdom by past suffering—
who seem invariably determined on striking when their labour
is not in demand, for there can be no doubt but that a majority
of the mill-owners would prefer a total standing still for a
while, to going on even with the proposed reduction. It
would be a difficult task, even if both parties were elispesed for
an adjustment of the dispute, to equalize the earnings of the
men, because the size of the modern mule so greatly exceeds
those made ten years ago. The police force is placed on extra
duty, and is understood to be ready atall the stations for instant
action should their services be required. All, however, is quiet.
• DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT Bow.-
This morning, about half-past one o'clock, as a labouring man
was proceeding along Old Ford-lane, near Bow Church, Mid-
dlesex, he discovered a fire raging in the corn-room of the
long-established mill belonging to Mr. Ball. He instantly

The fire was not entirely su s morning,
when Mr. Braidwood, with his men, left for town. Suspicions
are entertained that the fire is the work of an incendiary. A
good supply of water was obtained from Bow-creek. It must,

be added, that the labourers willingly assisted in ex-
tinguishing the fire. The loss of property is estimated at be-

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, TEN O'CLOCK.—
The storm increased in violence yesterday afternoon. At two
o'clock it blew a perfect hurricane from the westward. The
vessels at anchor in Bootle-bay rode it out with great difficulty.
The large Glasgow steamers attempted to put to sea, but, after
a trial of half an hour, they were compelled to return to port.
Again we rejoice to say that no serious damage has been sus-
tained during the violent gales of the last three days. At pre-
sent the weather is comparatively moderate.
THE WEATHER.—One of the severest storms
tkat have visited this city during the season, occurred on Sun-
day, when the rain fell in torrents, with a brief interval of sun-
shine in the forenoon. A violent 'gale blew from the West,
and hail and sleet at one time were observed. In Glasgow
the weather appears to have been even more tempestuous. On
Sunday night thunder and lightning were added there to the
storm, and a few minutes after ten o clock, one flash, followed
by an instantaneous roar, illuminated the entire length of the
Trongate, as clearly as noon on a July day. The utmost
anxiety is felt regarding the tidings from sea.—Edinbursdr
Advertiser.
