A CASE IN POINT.—" Oh, Sir ! they say Lord
John Rus?ell's in office again," said a poor widow woman
joyfully to a friend of our's last week. "Is it true, Sir ?"
" Yes, quite true; but what difference does it make to you
who is in office ?" "Va by, Sir, it makes all the difference to
me and poor people like me. We cannot live without cheap
bread You know, Sir, lam a poor widow with three
children, and I can only earn 6s. a week. My rent costs me
Is. 6d. a week, and clothes cost me another is., so that I
have only 3s. 6d. a week for bread for four people. We can
get plenty for 3s. 6d. while it is as cheap as it is now; but
what would become of us if it was dear? So you see, Sir, it
make a great difference to us whether people who wish for
cheap bread or dear bread are in office." This is not an
imaginary case, but an actual conversation related to us by
one of the parties engaged in it. Nor is it an unusual case,
but, on the contrary, it is that of millions of families, with
some Flight difference as to the number of shillings earned
and the number of children to be fed. If Lord Stanley and
others, born to spend thousands and tens of thousands
a-year, could by any possibility realise the fact that multi-
tudes of families, many of them amounting to eight or ten
persons, have to subsist on from 63. to 12s. a week, they
would undeutand the corn and bread question better than
they do at present. We must have one of two things— cheap
bread or an immense increase of pauperism ; and surely it is
better to allow the lab ,uring classes to feed themselves with
cheap bread, earned by honest independent labour, than to
have to support them at the public expense as wretched ani
degraded paupers. —Liverpool Times.

IMMENSE ENGINEERING WORKS.—At Mr. Napier's
engineering works, Lancefield, there are two steam cylinders
recently cast, which are for one of the new Cunard steamers,
of larger dimensions than any hitherto made in this country
or elsewhere. The diameter inside is 103 inches, and the
length of stroke about 10 feet. The largest hitherto fitted
up in the steamers of this celebrated line was 96 inches,
which is also the size of those on board the Collina' line of
American steamers. The largest slotting machine in exist-
ence is I),•ing fitted up at Lancefield works, by Mr. Robert
Napier. Some idea of the immense proportion of this huge
mechanism may be formed when it is a ated that the castings
forming the machine weigh about 100 tons. It is intended
fo • cutting vertical grooves in large wheels, shafts, &c. ;
and provision is made for screw-propeller shafts of the
largest size " on end," to have the requisite grooves cut in-
ternally or on the surface. When a single tool for perform-
ing appa-ently a very simple operation weighs 100 tons, the
immense magnitude of the machinery prepared by it may be
imagined. The vertical motion of the cutter is given in the
ordinary way, by means of a crank motion overhead.—

Within the last six years upwards of one thousand
new houses have been erected in this town, many of which
are at present in an unfinished state; and notwithstanding
this enormous increase, and taking into account those that
are unfinished, there are not 400 houses unoccupied. We
very much question if there ,be st single, town in the em-
pire that has made, during ' the fast six years, a greater
proportionate increase than Ipswich.—lpswich ,Express
