up by the Rev. J. Clay, chaplain of the House of Cor-
rection. The address, which was unanimously adopted
on the motion of Mr. T. 13. Addison, recorder of the
borough, has already received numerous signatures, and
it expresses the gratification and thank:ulness of the
people that, under circumstances of great difficulty and
alarm, her Majesty's Government have been enabled to
draw forth among all classes most decisive proofs of
right and loyal feeling, to assert the supremacy of the
law, and protect the rights of property and order by
measures wisely planned and firmly but forbearingly
executed. The address will be presented to Lord J.
Russell on Saturday.

Sunderland to abstain from late shopping • and it would
appeaT, without success. " Desperate diseases require
desperate remedies," say the short time men ; and
thereanent, at a meeting lately held, the following re-
commendation was put in by a gentleman of the strong
moral force school :—" It might be useful, perhaps,
since the ladies have:been so particularly referred to, tor
the young men of this borough—one and all—to form
themselves into an auxilary society, the fundamental
rule of which shall be that not one of them shall, or will.
marry any lady who goes a shopping after six o'clock."
Since this has been resolved we understand there has not
been late customers. save old married ladies and tabbies.
—Durham Chronicle, April 7.

at Castletown, Isle of Man, was put upon his trial on
Tuesday. The jury found him guilty of manslaughter
only, and he was sentenced to transportation for life.
The loss on the paid-up capital of the Isle of Man
Commercial Bank is not likely to exceed 10s. per share.
It is proposed, to - resume. thelmsineass -oil the promise -of

late manager has resigned, and Mr. J. S. Jukson, for-
