The Courrier de la 2lfoselle contains the fo

lowing :
The Chamber of Commerce of Metz, after a long
deliberation, during which the majority (7 out of 8)
declared themselves in favour of a commercial union
with Belgium, refused to accede to the demand which
the iron-masters had made to them to send one of their
members as-a,delegate to support their representations
with the Government. The Chamber of Commerce
contented itself with again expressing its desire of
last year, that the iron-masters of the Moselle should
have their interests considered as much as possible,
but without intending, by so doing, to declare against
the commercial union of Belgium, which appears con-
formable to the wishes of the majority of the traders
and manufacturers of the department.
The adjudication of the contract for the works of
the first section of the railway from Paris to the Bel-
gian frontier took place yesterday, at the Prefecture
of the Seine. There were seven tenders ; two by
Messrs. Lacasse and Laboure and M. Beaubau, at a
sum beyond that fixed by the Government; the third
by M. Nepveu, at a reduction of three per cent.. on
that sum ; the fourth by M. C. Seguin, at a reduction
of If. 60e. ; the fifth by M. C. Langlois, at a reduc-
tion of six per cent. ; the sixth by M. Paucellier, at
two per cent. reduction ; and the seventh by Messrs.
Sherwood at seven per cent. under the Government
estimate. The latter were consequently declared the
contractors. Messrs. Sherwood were the contractors
of the London and Croydon railway, of which the en-
gineer was Mr. Gibbs. The Commerce states that
after the adjudication, some of the persons who had
put in tenders demanded the production of a certifi
cite of capacity by Messrs. Sherwood. This demand
not being sanctioned by the parties acting for the Go-
vernment, a protest was made against the contract, on
the ground that Messrs. Sherwood were foreigners,
and could not therefore have a certificate of capacity
from a French engineer.—Galignani.

INCREASED DISTRESS IN LEEDS.

We regret exceedingly to find that the condition of
the working classes in this town is considerably worse
now than it was in either of the years 1840 and 1841,
bad as those years were. The most decisive proof of
this fact is to be found in the following return of the
amount of relief, given at the Leeds Workhouse, in
the months of September and October of the years
1840, 1841, and 1842 respectively :

AMOUNT OF RELIEF GIVEN AT THE LEEDS WORKHOUSE.
1840. 1841. 1842.
September... £1,085 £1,198 £1,520
October* ... 1,523 1,796 2,139

£2,608 £2,994 £3,659
Thus it appears that the amount of relief paid in
the two months of 1842 exceeded that paid in the
corresponding two months of 1840 by 1,051/.—an
increase of 40 per cent. on the amount paid in the
year 1840 !
The following corroborative evidence was yesterday
laid before us by a trustworthy person, who has made
close personal inquiries of some of the principal stuff
manufacturers in the East Ward of this town. He
found that the amount of wages paid by three of the
principal firms in the eight weeks following the Ist
of September, in the three years, was as follows :

WAGES PAID BY THREE FIRMS IN THE EAST WARD,
IN EIGHT WEEKS OP SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER,
1840, 1841, AND 1842.
1840. 1841. 1842.
No. 1
2
3

£1,821

£1,680

£919

Here it appears that the wages paid in 1842 were
only about one-half of the wages paid in 1840 ! Four
other firms declared that they had this year paid
one-third less wages in the months of September and
October than in the corresponding months of 1841.
In the same ward three flax mills have been closed,
the owner of one of which, however, has opened a mill
in another part of the town. It must be understood
that the reduced amount of wages paid does not pro-
ceed from a lowered rate of wages, but entirely from
the diminished quantity of work done. These facts
afford us a sad prospect for the winter.
* The month of October, in each of the three years,
contained five pay-days.

Protestant bigotry has, it seems, taken the
alarm at the Bishop of London's ate Charge.
We are not at all surprised at this, for it was a
timid, time-serving affair—Puseyite in one pas-
sage, Anti-Puseyite in the next, enunciating no
decided opinions on important matters, but
dwelling chiefly on trivialities
about which, as
being wholly unconnected with relizion, no
really religious man cares two straws. At a

WATCHES by WEBSTER AND SON,
Chronometer Makers to the Lords of the Admiralty,
established 132 years, 3, Birchin-lane. The finest description
of Watches at the lowest prices, consistent with maintaining
that character for superiority of workmanship which has dis-
tinguished their establishment dining so long a period. The
Compensated Duplex Watch, upon the principle of their Chro-
nometers, to which Government awarded the prizes three sue-
ce,sive years, combines perfect accuracy with the utmost ele-
gance, and is not surpassed by the Pocket Chronometer. W.
and Son have devoted considerable time and attention to the
manufacture of the Patent Lever Watch, and considerably
reduced the price; likewise the small Horizontal, for ladies.
They can offer a large selection of Second-hand Watches, at
little above have the original cost. The utmost value allowed
for old Watches, in exchange. The most experienced work-
men in the repairing department are employed on the premises,
for foreign and English manufacture.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
The improved feeling in the market, which we no-
ticed last week, was fully supported to-day; and a
tbir business was done, both in goods and yarn, at the
full prices of last week. In some cases, attempts were
made to obtain a slight advance on one or two counts
of mule yarn, and on 40-inch shirtings; but we do
not think they were generally successful. On the
whole, however, the market was very firm, with a
tendency rather to advance than otherwise.
Roc lIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Nov. 7.—The
demand for flannels still continues brisk, and the
regular buyers have purchased more freely than
usual. There is every prospect of this continuing
up to Christmas at least. The prices are the same
as they have been for some weeks past. In the wool
market there is no change to report, either as to prices
or quantity sold. The dealers are quite ready to sell
for
immediate former rates ; but the manufacturer purchases
immediate use only.

The corn trade has never been in such a plight as
it is now ; the best and oldest firms have stopped ;
houses at Dantzic, Marseilles, and elsewhere, have
been broken up ; and the home farmer, instead of
procuring from 545. to 565. for his wheat, has to
enter into a competition with the assignees of the
purchasers of foreign wheat, and has to contend in the
market against foreign wheat sold at 485., a less price
than it would have cost if it had not paid 6d. duty.
Much of this wheat is still unsold, and the agricul-
turists, who were taught to expect a higher protec-
tion than the Bs. fixed duty, are actually in the same
situation now as they would have been if there had
been a free trade in corn, for they have to compete
with foreign corn to be sold without reserve, to meet
engagements' at as small a price as it would have sold
with open porta.—Gftsgow Argus.
The Earl of Mulgrave and the Earl of Caledon
have been on an excursion tot

.No of the Red
Indians, near Hudson's Bay, here the ble Lords
had abundant sport in buffalo shooting, and thence
they returned to head-quarters at Montreal, whence
Lord Caledon was to embark for England.

Mathews have withdrawn themselves from Drury-
lane Theatre, in consequence of a misunderstanding
with gr. Dierea,dy.

VOREIGN.

The Paris papers give lengthened extracts from
the dispatches brought by the Overland Mail, and
make severe comments, as might be expected, on Bri-
tish, operations in China and Affghanistaw. Two
articles on this subject will be found among the fo-
reign intelligence.
The cold at Paris has for some days been very in-
tense. At midnight on Saturday the thermometer
marked 29 deg Fahrenheit ; at six o'clock on Sunday
morning 23 F., and at noon 3O F.
The citizens of Bordeaux and the Chamber of Com-
merce of Lyons have sent a petition in favour of the
Commercial Union of Belgium.
The King of the Belgians arrived at Brussels on
.Thursday evening from Paris, and immediately pro-
ceeded to the Palace of Lacken. It appears that his
Majesty was not accompanied by the Queen, but that
she was to leave Paris a few days after him.
The Sultan, who will be twenty years of age nex
April, has now eight children—two Sultans and six
Sultanas—the eldest (a son) being two years old, and
the youngest (a daughter) not a month. One of the
Sultan's ladies gave birth to a daughter on the even-
ing- of the 18th, an event, writes cur correspondent,
"now of weekly occurrence."
The Frankfort papers of the sth announce that the
Austrian Government had given its Consul at Bel-
grade orders to quit that town immediately, in order
to remove from the " usurping Government" all hopes
of being recognised by Austria.
A letter from Constantinople, dated the 19th ult.,
announces that Ibrahim Pacha was hourly expected
at Constantinople, in company with the ex- Capudan
Pacha (Ahmed), whose pardon had been obtained
through the intercession of Mehemq,Ali.
The Austrian Government has made a treaty with
the Swiss Executives for the quick and daily convey-
ance of letters from Milan by the St. Gothard to Zu-
rich and Basle. Austria hopes, especially when the
railroad is finished between Venice and Milan, that
this will be the quickest road from the east to England.

At the meeting of the British Medical Association,
held on Tuesday in Cockspur-street, it was resolved
that the medical practitioners throughout the kingdom
should unite into one general representative body,
with an uniform and equal system of admission and
education; and. that Committees should be formed to
carry this purpose into effect. Sir James Graham's
proposed measure on this subject was condemnek'd
insufficient.

vincial Parliament takes effect, the produce of tbe
great corn-growing States of America may all be
imported to England via Canada, under a duty of 3s.
per quarter paid in that colony, and under a further
maximum duty of ss. per quarter when entered for
home consumption in England, making in all a maxi-
mum duty of Bs. per quarter when the average is
under 555. per quarter, and a duty of three shillings
and one shilling per quarter when the average reaches
.58s. per quarter. This measure will take effect from
and after the sth of July next, when American wheat
will thus be admissible into English ports, at a duty
of Bs. per quarter ; for that is the substantial meaning
of the opration of the law passed by the Provincial
Parliament of Canada in accordance with the sugges-
tions contained in Lord Stanley's dispatch.. of the 2d
of March last.
SUN.—Business was slack this afternoon in
British Securities, but prices were generally main-
tained. There is some talk of the Bank of England
reducing its rate of interest from 4 to 3 per cent., but
we can hardly affirm that there is any foundation for
it, inasmuch as money is too cheap already. The
Bank, however, must necessarily suffer by its high
cbarge. Consuls realised 94 to 94k, both for money
and time, and Exchequer Bills 595. to 61s. prem.

usher in a school at Morden Hall, Surrey, was committed
to take his trial for stealing a cheque for 1/. 19s. 4d., the
property of the Rev. John White. It appeared he had
found means to extract the cheque from a letter before it
was sent by post.
At Thames-street William Schmidt, a Swede, was
committed to Newgate for uttering a forged seaman's ad-
vance note for 101., purporting to be signed by Captain

William Allen, the last of the Wraxhall burglars, was
apprehended in John-street, Smithfield, on Saturday
night. He was taken to Bath on Monday, and, after a
short examination before the Magistrates, was fully
committed.

J. E. Debenham, a person employed in the London
district post-office, was charged at Bow-street with
stealing a letter containing a 5/. note, which came into his

prosecution, and after a number of witnesses had been
examined, the prisoner was remanded for a week.

FINE ARTS.

A remarkable specimen of the fine arts, probably of
the fifteenth century, has been lately deposited in the
print-room of the British Museum. It consists of a very
elegant cup and cover, in the rare style of engraving,
called niello, and forms the largest and most elaborate
relic of the niellatori in existence. It was purchased of
Madame Colloigne, widow of the sculptor of that name.
=TENANT AND SCIENTIFIC.
Count Wernigrode, who accompanies the suite of the
the King of Prussia, is possessed of immense estates on
the borders of the Hartz, the castle of which is cele-
bratel for its valuable library, and especially its collec-
tion of Bibles. The family is one of the oldest in Ger-
many.

THEATRICAL.
Handel's oratorio of Solomon was performed at Exeter
Hall on Wednesday to a crowded audience. Miss
Birch, Miss Dolby, Miss Lucombe, and Phillips and
Hobbs, were the principal performers, and executed
their parts throughout with the utmost spirit. The fine
choruses were given with great force and effect.

It is worthy of remark that her Majesty never travels
by railway. Prince Albert almost invariably accompa-
nies the Queen; but patronises the Great Western ge-
nerally, when obliged to come up from Windsor alone.
The Prince, however, has been known to say, " Not
quite so fast next time, Mr. Conductor, if you please."
To-day is the anniversary of the ransom of King Ri-
chard the First, in 1194.

SINGULAR MESMERIC INFLUENCE.--ThiS
town ( Southampton) has recently been the theatre of an
operation equally novel in nature, and interesting and import-
ant in its results. We allude to the extraction of a tooth and
several stumps, from a patient in the state of mesmeric trance,
which took place yestt rday morning at the residence of the
operator, Mr. Prideaux, before a select party of medical men,
who had been invited to be present. It appears that Mr. Prideaux
usually entrances the patient who was the subject of this ope.
ration in about five minutes ; but on the present occasion, frcm
the presence of strangers, the slight interruption caused by
the arrival of some of the spectators, after the entranc-
ing manipulations had commenced, the process occupied about
twenty minutes. Shortly after perfect sleep- talking was in-
duced, the patient, at the request of the operator, arose from her
seat by the fire and walked to the operating chair at the other
end of the room, when the teeth and stumps were removed
by Mr. P., without the slightest manifestation of sensibility to
pain on the part of the patient, whose hands were quietly re-
posing in her lap during the whole time ; indeed, on being re-
stored to consciousness (an operation effected in a few seconds),
it was not till after an examination of the mouth with the tongue
that she could credit the reality of the painless release from her
tormentors. At a subsequent part of the day a similar
operation was performed by Mr. Prideaux on another
patient, with similar results ; and he informed us that
on one occasion he had operated on a lady for three
hours, total insensibility to pain being evinced during
the whole period. Mr. Prideaux expresses his confi-
dent expectation, than in the course of a few years the
production of the mesmeric trance will be generally resorted
to in all cases of severe surgical operations, and also that, per-
sons as
the science advances means will be discovered by which
all
shouldi
sons may be certainly subjected to its influence; andfe
boon,
these expectations be realised, great indeed will be
which this at present embryo science, is destined to confer
upon suffering humanity.--Hanzyshire

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

-

QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)
This Court was engaged the whole morning with cases in
the new trial paper, none of which were of any public interest.

EXCHEQUER -(THIS DAY.)
REVENUE CASES.-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHEMARD.
This was an information filed by her M.ijesty's Attorney-
General against the defendant for having, in the month of
March last, malted various quantities of barley, without having
served the usual notice with the Excise.
The defendant was an inhabitant of Mendlesham, who
had for some time carried on conjointly the business of a farmer
and malt ster. At the commencement of March last, he withdrew
his notice, because, as he had stated, a sufficient quantity of
barley had not been sent to him to induce him to continue to
carry on the business. On the 31st of the same month, the Ex-
cise officers of the district, in consequence of certain informa-
tion they had received, proceeded to the premises of the de-
fendant, where they found a large quantity of barley in progress
of fermentation. A farmer from the neighbourhood stated in
evidence that he had a short time previously sent some barley
to the defendant to be malted, which defendant had received.

It was attempted to be shown that the barley had been wet
by the servant of the defendant without his permission. This
allegat ion did not appear to have been supported by evidence.
The Jury instantly returned a verdict for the Crown upon
two counts, NI ith a penalty of 2001. on each.
