Reine has found the means of throwing the whole
French nation into despair. He will not talk. Through-
out his passage he has had the infamy of not confiding
to all ;the sailors on board that which he was charged
to confide only to the French Government. On his
arrival at Bordeaux, he did not even say a word to
the waiter of the Hotel de Rouen, to which he went;
had the impertinence of keeping the same reserve
towards the postillions who drove him to Paris, and, ont
alighting at the Hotel de la Cour des l'oste::, instead of
going, as he ought to have done, to M. Billault, or M.
Ledru Rollin, he bad the weakness to go to the Minister-
of Marine, and since that moment has not written to a.
single journal. M. Dupetit Thouars says in his report
that M. Reine is a distinguished officer. In fact, none
but a man of mind and understanding could thus have
possessed the rare resolution of remaining silent. If M.
Reine persists in not speaking, Admiral Billault will
have him hung at the j-ard-arm of the dismasted vessel
of the Left-Centre. In •the eyes of M. Billault, there
cannot be a greater crime than rot talking ; this, no
doubt, it is that makes him so loquacious, particularly
when he has got nothing to talk about."

HOURS OF LABOUR DURING LAST CENTURY.--•
Most of the speakers in favour of a Ten Hours' Bill seeps
to take for granted, that, previous to the invention of the
steam engine, and the consequent extension of the fac-
tory system, the hours of labour were much shorter than

they are at present ; and a great deal of sentimentalism
has been wasted in the columns of the Morning Post, and
other journals, about the tendency of mechanical improve-
ments to increase, instead of abridging., the toil of menu-
' facturing operatives. Unfortunately for Lord Ashley
and his followers, this notion, like nearly all the other
statements on which they build their theories, is not
founded on fact. At present the hours of labour in
almost every branch of industry are much shorter than
they were a century ago; and this improvement is
chiefly owing, we believe, to the increased demand for
labour arising from the extension of manufactures. In
the London Tradesman, published in 1757, a table is
given of the hours of working in the various trades of
London and Westminster, from which we learn, that,
out of 220 tracks, there were 32 in which the persons
employed worked 15 hours a day; 140 in which
they worked 14 hours; 19 in which they worked 13
hours; and only 29, out of the whole number, in which
the daily hours of labour were restricted to 12. Vtire
have no means of comparing this calculation with any
general table of the working hours of the trades of Lon-
don at the present day; but we believe it will be found,
that, in most instances where 14 or 15 hours a day was
the rule previous to the extension of manufactures, 12
or 13 hours is the custom now. With all this improve-
ment, however, we feel persuaded that the hours of labour
may be made still shorter than they are at present, without
reducing the wages of the operative; but then it must
not be by legislative interference, or the remedy will be
worse than the disease. In the case of the London arti-
sans, the hours of labour have been reduced without the
aid of any Lord Ashley or Richard Oastler, but simply by
the increased demand for labour, which has taken place
during the last hundred years, and the consequent im-
provement in the condition of the workpeople. Should
we retain our manufacturing superiority, it is reasonable
to suppose that the same cause will continue to operate
in the same direction ; but, as the Ten Hours' Bill advo-
cates are opposed to the extension, and consequently to
the prosperity, of the manufacturing system, we cannot
help viewing them as the most dangerous opponents of a
salutary reduction of the hours of labour.—Manchester
Guardian.

THE PUBLIC OFFICES.—In these days of rigid
economy any diminution, however slight, occurring in the
expenditure of the various public offices and establishments
will, no doubt, be viewed with considerable satisfaction. A
Parliamentary paper, containing an abstract of the accounts
of every increase and diminution which has taken . place
within the year 1843, the number of persons employed,
,and the salaries, allowances, and expenses in all public
offices or departments, pursuant to the Act 4 and 5 William
IV., cap. 24, has just been printed by order of the House
of Commons. On examining this document we find that
whilst the gross total increase, which has occurred
during the past year in the salaries and emoluments of
the said public offices and establishments, amounts to the
sum of 82,837/. ls. ld., the gross total diminution which has
simultaneously taken place, amounts altogether to the stun
of 24,686/. 18s. 9d., leaving a balance of net increase in the
expenses entailed upon the public of 58,150/. 2s. 4d. The
gross total increase in the number of persons employed
amounts to 181, and the gross total decrease to 69, leaving a
balance of net increase amounting to 112. The principal in-
crease in the number of persons employedhos occurred in the
Post-office department, in which 114 additional hands have
it. appears been laid on. The largest increase, in a pecuniary
point of view, is to be witnessed in the departments of the
Custom-house, the Excise-office, the Post-office, the Stamp-
office, and the Registrar-General's office.
THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF BLUES.—The anni-
versary fete for the increase of the funds by which relief is
afforded to indigent and decayed persons educated at Christ's
Hospital, was celebrated yesterday with more than usual hos-
pitality and good feeling, in the great room of the London
Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street. The company sat down to an
excellent dinner, at half-past six o'clock, to the number of
150 gentlemen. The gallery was filled with ladies; and the
musical arrangements were enlivened by the assistance of
Messrs. A. Novello, Fitzwilliam, and Young. The chair was
excellently' filled b3r Mr. Few, who was supported at the
cross-table by the Earl of Arundel, Sir George Carroll, Mr.
Alderman Farebrother, the Governor and Deputy-Governor
of the Bank of England, Mr. Pigeon, Mr. Rice, head-master
of the school ; Mr. M'Culloch, Mr. Waghorn, and other gen-
tlemen of rank in the commercial world. The usual toasts—
viz., " The health of her Majesty the Queen and Prince Al-
bert," " The Queen Dowager, and the other members of 'the.
Royal Family," having been drunk with the most loyal feel
ings, and several other toasts having been also given and re-
ceived with cheers, the toast, " Success to the Institution,"
was given and received with loud applause. The list of sub-
scriptions was then read, which amounted in the aggregate
to nearly 900/., the principal subscribers being—the Chair-
man, 21/. ; Mr. Thakeray, 21/. ; the Lord Mayor, 10/. 10s. ;
Mr. Curteis, 12/. 125.; Mr. S. B. Brooke, 101. 105. ; Mr. Pi-
geon, 101. 10s. ' • Mrs. Pigeon, 10/. 10s. ; Mr. Pigeon, jun., 10/.
10s. ; Mr. Bellasis, 10/. 10s., &c. The festivities of the even-
ing were kept up in the best spirit, and it. was not until late
that the company separated.
DANGEROUS FROLIC.—on Wednesday evening
last, shortly before nine o'clock, a most serious accident oc-
curred to a gentleman named Walmesley, residing at Plum-
stead. It appears that Mr. Walmesley was, accompanied by
a friend, returning from London to Plumstead in his gig., and
whilst proceeding along the road at a steady pace, the horse,
which is a most spirited animal, took fright at some young
fellows dressed up m a style which would do credit to any
madmen, and dashed off at a fearful rate across Blackheath,
precipitating Mr. Walmesley and his friend out of the gig
with frightful violence. Mr. Walmesley's friend escaped
with a few slight bruises, but he was not so fortunate himself,
for upon being taken home and medical assistance called for,
it was discovered that he had broken his right arm in two
places, and dislocated his collar bone, besides receiving 1
severe fracture of the skull on the right side, and some dread-
ful lacerations about 'various parts of his body ; altogether
the injuries he has received render it very doubtful whether
he can survive. The horse was stopped about half a mileto
from the spot, uninjured, but the gig was literally dashed
atoms. From what we could learn respecting the true
causeor
of the accident, it appears that for some time past threeeypass
four young gentlemen had been in the habit, a
through Greenwich and Woolwich every n!ght,sof they pass
themselves up in the most ludicrous style_ imaginable,
throwing themselves about in all manner omfattLtudDese,ehmtulecshs

FIRE AND RUMOURED LOSS OF LlFE.—This
morning a fire broke out in the extensive feather and bed-
ding manufactory belonging to Messrs. Blakeley and Thomas,
feather merchants and importers, Bisholisgate-street Without.
The manufactory is a large brick building, 100 feet square, is
situate a few yards from the front of Bishopsgate-street on
the east, and Sun-street on the north. It contained seven
floors, in which were housed, for the purpose of manufac-
ture, several hundred tons of feathers. and a vast
quantity of beds and bed-room furniture. The fire
broke out a few minutes after two o'clok in the
lower part of the premises, in which a quantity of steam
machinery was fixed, valued at several hundred pounds.
From floor to floor it extended, and as it reached consecu-
tively the different departments, the great light caused by
the conflagration illumined the whole neighbourhood. The
spires, as far north as Shoreditch, were perfectly visible, and
the alarm was very great throughout the entire neighbour-
hood. By three &clock the fury of the flames was but ptar-
tially checked, and at this moment the appearance of he
whole vicinity was truly grand The flames were only
par-
tially subdued by half-past three o'clock, and at that time
it

was stated that some one who slept upon the premises
missing, and great fears are entertained that the poor fellow
is burned to death.
We understand that the Earl of Stair has it in
contemplation to construct a harbour for the loading and dis-
charging of small vessels at the Crow's-nest, about three
miles from Glenluce. Should the plan be carried out, it will
be of great service to the farmers of the neighbouring district.
A road between Glenluce and .the intended harbour, with a
cross-road to connect the district of Auchenmalg, forms part
of the general plan.—Ayr Observer.
PENNSYLVANIAN LAW.-It is a curius fact, and not
generally known, that by the laws of Pennsylvania a man may
be sold into servitude who refuses to maintain his wife and
children ; and it is stated that recently a man was sold in
Venango county, by order of the Court, for an indefinite
period, who had refused to maintain his wife and family, they
receiving the wages of his labour for their support. Truly ''do•
mestic slavery" must be preferable to suck bondage as this.
