TOTAL REPEAL OF TIIE BREAD-TAX.-A
public meeting of the inhabitants of Manchester will be
held in the Town Hall, King-street, on new year's day,
for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of the
total and immediate repeal of the Bread and Provision
taxes, and of recommending to the House of Commons
the appointment of a Committee to ascertain the best
modu of compensating the injured bread-eaters of Great
Britain and Ireland for the great misery, privation, and
loss sustained by them from the operation of the Corn
and Provision-laws. Mr. Alderman Brooks will take the
chair.

CHERRY RIPE.--A woman named Beckley
was delivered at the Luton Union workhouse on the 17th
instant of a fine female child, with a fine ripe cherry
hanging from the first finger of the left hand, and a
smaller one hanging from the first finger of the right
hand.--Hertford Reformer.

WANTED, A SCHOOLMASTER.—The follow-
ing is the address of a letter posted not a hundred miles
from Chard yesterday :—" For Mrs. Kings Mead Street
N 37 pleas to convay the leter to she poast paid." We
can aver that the above orthography and address are
verbatim et literatim like the original. The letter was
sent " Try Bristol."—S/ierborne Journal.
GRINGLEY ON THE HILL.—It is a source of
general regret (says a correspondent), that the farmers
in this and several other parishes have lowered their la-
bourers' wages Is. 6d. per week, which is severely felt
by the poor men, especially by those having large fami-
lies. One poor man states when his week's earnings are
laid out it leaves for each meal:to each member of his
family only one penny, !ind. nothing. f!n. rent, &c,
Surely
in the present high price of provisions, &c., their em-
ployers will restore their former deserving remuneration
for their labour.--Doncaster Gazette.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN FRANCE,—The
Journal de l'Eure, of the 24th instant, states, that in
consequence of a bank of earth having given way at
Tourville, where the engineers of the Paris and Rouen
Railroad were constructing a tunnel, five labourers were
cut off from all communication with the exterior. In
order to extricate them, it was found necessary to dig
through a bank of hard gravel to the depth of thirty
feet. In less than fourteen hours this operation was
completed ; and, thanks to the coolness and intrepidity
displayed by Mr. Jones, the English engineer, the five
men were saved.

Ihe New York Morning Herald contains an
account of another American vessel having been boarded
and overhauled by a British cruizer at Galenas. A ves-
sel called the William had arrived at the above port,
when she was boarded by her Majesty's brig Dolphin,
and permitted to go at liberty again. The same paper
contains an extract from a letter dated Havannah, which
says—" A serious affair has just commenced in the
neigbourhood of Matanzas. It appears that the English
Consul went a few days since to a plantation situated
near that town and attempted to obtain the emancipation
of all the slaves belonging to a planter who had arrived
from Jamaica. His seditious counsels might have occa-
sioned a general revolt among the coloured population
of that place. As soon as the commander of Matanzas
obtained information of this occurrence he arrested the
Consul, and sent him back here escorted by soldiers un-
der the order of the Government. We do not know
what will be the result of this affair."

WESTERN RELICS.—At Madan, the ancient
city of Wisconsin, we learn from the Wisconsin Inquirer,
some workmen, engaged in quarrying limestone, found
at a depth of five or six feet from the surface cf the
earth, and three or four feet below the upper stratum of
rock, a human thigh bone, which was, with the excep-
tion of one end, completely embedded in the solid lime
rock, the formation of the stone, to all appearance,
having been around the bone. This is one of the mune-
roui testimonials that are daily brought to light, that go
to prove the former settlement. of the distant west. The
burnt brick structure in the vicinity of Azatlan, reaching
to a very great extent, is a most interesting memorial of
bygone times.—American Paper.
