SINGULAR CASE, AND AN IMPORTANT ONE TO EM-
PLOYERS —On Monday last, at the Borough Court, Stockport,
Mr. Wm. Whitelegg, cotton manufacturer, was summoned by
one of his weavers, named James Bradley, for 2s. 6d. wages
alleged to be owing to him. Mr. Mellor, the manager,
stated that the complainant had left his work without
notice. He had enlisted in the 76th Regiment, and there-
fore, according to the rules of all the mills, his wages were
forfeited.—The father of the youth said he had a certificate
from the captain of the regiment, empowering him to
apply for the wages. The Bench thought that the
mill rules were applicable in this case.—Mr. Alderman
Andrew said he had attested the enlistment of
Bradley, and had been applied to under the 73d station
of the Bth and 9th vie., cap. 8, to make an order upon Mr.
Whitelegg for the 2s. 6d. He had accordingly made that
order; and the father had applied for the money, and had
been refused.—The clerk, referring to the Act of Parliament,
said there was a law enforcing the payment of wages due to
a recruit. It was in the last Mutiny Act, passed 24th of
April, 1845, and was as follows :—" That it should be law-
ful for the justice before whom any recruit shall be attested,
before the expiration of the term of service for which he had
been hired by his master, adjudge to such recruit
a reasonable proportion of his wages for the time he
has actually served; and the said justice shall make an
order for the payment of the amount so awarded, and in
case of neglect or refusal to pay the same within four days,
shall issue his warrant for levying the same by distress and
sale of the goods and chattels of his master." The magis-
trates expressed their surprise at the existence of so strin-
gent a law ; and Mellor, the manager, said, if he had known
of that law, he would have paid the 2s. 6d. without a sum-
mons. The clerk explained that it was necessary to issue a
summons, for, on refusal, a warrant of distress would follow
for the wages, if not paid in four days from the application
and production of certificate of attestation. The 2s. Gd. and
costs was then paid forthwith.—llfanchester Guardian.

insurgents are driven by the Austrians to Iroilkoifze; a d
the Austrians were on the heights at a short distance
from that town on the 25th, in the morning. It is con-
firmed that the Galician peasants will have nothing to
do with the revolution, and have either killed on the spot
or taken prisoners the nobles, and delivered them to the
Austrians.

BRESLAU, MARCH 3.—The clerks of the Prussian Post-
office in Cracow have arrived here, and all communica-
tion with that city is so far broken off. Our troops are
to cross the frontiers to-morrow, and it is thought that in
four or five days Cracow will be occupied by the Aus-
trians and Prussians without much bloodshed, and the
old order of things restored. The resident of our court
at Cracow, who is now here, has received orders from
Berlin immediately to follow the troops and return to his
post.—Humburgh Papers, March 6.
BERLIN, MAncri s.—On the evening of the 3d of this
month, the civil and military authorities in Posen were
informed that an attempt was to be made in the night to
release till prisoners arrested as implicated in the revo-
lutionary conspiracy, and in fact suspicious assemblages
appeared at nightfall in and about the town. The ne-
cessary precautions were taken, guards posted, and
patrols were sent out in all directions. Theae were twice
fired at, once upon a waggon without any of the soldiers
being wounded, who, however, fired a few shots, by
which two of the insurgents were killed, and two wounded
and taken prisoners. Besides this, between 40 and 50
suspicious persons were arrested (some of whom were
armed), and several waggons loaded with arms and am-
munition seized. By daybreak all was quiet, and nothing
was to be scen of the insurgents. The authorities pub-
lished a notice to the inhabitants on the 4th.

A considerable landowner of the province of Posen,
who has just returned from Galicia, gives a frightful
account of what has passed in that country.
Emissaries of the propaganda in Paris, London, and
Brussels, having been at work for about two years,
imagined that the time was come when a revolution
might be attempted with certainty of success, and com-
menced their operations at the little town of Pilsno,
near Tarnon. Seven nobles and some peasants went
to the house of the syndic, and summoned him to draw
up a proclamation and to join them. He expressed his
readiness to do so; but doubted whether they were
strong enough to make such an attempt. He
proposed that they should seek to procure more
partisans, and in the meantime he would do his best.
Satisfied with this they departed, but an hour afterwards
sent a messenger to the Military Governor, informing
him of the circumstance. On this they returned to
Pileno and murdered the magistrate in a most barbarous
manner. On the same day a band of peasants with
nine noblemen entered the town of Dembice, where
they invited the bailiff to join them. He refused,
representing the folly and fatal consequence of such a
criminal attempt. One of the nobles shot him dead, and
called on the peasants to plunder the town. They, how-
ever, moved by the energetic speech of the bailiff, and
indignant at his murder, refused. A dispute arose, in
which two peasants were shot by the nobles, on which
the remainder fell on the insurgents and killed them all.
In the circle of Tarnon, where the petty nobles are
very numerous, the band of insurgents amounted to
three or four hundred persons. A number of peasants
was sent by them into the town, to assist them in their
meditated attack. The Jews in Tarnon soon found, by
conversation with the peasants, what was intended, and
informed the High Bailiff, who addressed them in an
animated speech, which they received with applause.
He promised ten florins for every one of the rebels taken
with arms in his hand, whom they should bring in dead
or alive. The result was that the rebels, not expecting
any resistance, were surrounded, and a fearful massacre
ensued. 130 corpses were found on the following morn-
ing, and 90 severely wounded were brought in, for whom
the promised reward was paid.
Though the magistrates cannot be censured for re-
sorting to these means of defence in their extreme dis-

tress. They did not consider the difficulty of again
calming the unchained passions, and to prevent a civil
war, the atrocities of which will be encouraged by hatred, •
revenge, self-interest, and plunder. A similar offer of
reward has been made in other circles. The effects im-
mediately follow; the peasants fell not only on the armed
insurgents, but on the nobles in general, not sparing
even their wives and children. They did not confine
their fury to the nobles, but extended it to their servants,
then to the citizens and peaceable inhabitants—in short,
to all who did not wear the peasant's smock-frock. In
the town of Dembice they killed all the inhabitants ex-
cept three individuals. In a word the excesses com-
mitted are frightful.— Universal Prussian Gazette,
March 6.
