The number of vessels that entered. Algiers during
1841 was 2,068, and of those that cleared 2,034; their burthens
were 214,078 tons, and 202,547 tons respectively. There were
only one.third of these vessels under the French flag.
EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION. Great excitement
and alarm, for the last week, have been existing among the Irish
residents of the metropolis, more particularly among the lower
orders living near the waterside, in consequence of their belief in
the prophecy of some one of their priests, that a frightful calamity
is about to visit London, in the shape of an earthquake. It is to
extend ten miles round London, and the modern Babylon is to be
swallowed up. The Irish are therefore on the move. Our in-
formant saw nearly all the poor deluded occupants of a street in
Shadwell, moving their little furniture, and offering it for sale, in
order, as they said, "to escape the earthquake." It was truly a
pitiable sight to see these poor creatures lamenting their crue
fate, that compelled them to leave their homes and their means of
subsistence, but au firmly has the belief become implanted in their
minds that no argument or persuasion could divert them from it.
Our own opinion is that Sir Robert Peel's mea-
sure ought now to be permitted to pass as soon as possible, as
it. will doubtless be an improvement to some extent; but that,
being founded on an inherently vicious principle, it ought not
to be accepted as any compromise of the question as to the im-
portaton cl corn, and that the agitation in favour of a much
better system should be kept up as vigorously as ever.—Man-
chester Guardian.

FALL or WAGES.—Reduction have been made in
the wages of the men, and in their hours of working, in more
than one of the manufacturing establishments in Kendal, and
that without reference to political partisanship—Tory and
liberal having pursued the same course. The general depres-
sion of trade, and the competition consequent thereupon, have
rendered this step necessary, in order to secure any portion of
work to the factories in question.— Kendal Mercury.
The
new building, now in the course of erection on
the northern side ofThrcadneedlc-street, is rapidly progressing, and
it is expected that it will be, for the most part, completed by the
ensuing month of May. The purposes to wLich it is to be devoted
are still kept a close secret by the proprietor.
