STATE or THE DISTRICT.—The general turn-out
of the working population of the manufacturing district,
which took place rather more than three weeks ago, has
now been brought within rather narrow limits. In all
parts of Yorkshire, at Carlisle, and the whole of that
part of Lancashire which lies to the northward of Man-
chester (with the exception of two or three mills at
Bury), we believe the working population have returned
to their labour, on the terms subsisting before they turned
out.. In Manchester all have resumed, with the excep-
tion of the power-loom weavers, and a part of the
dyers. To the southward and eastward of Man-
chester, however, the case is different. At Ashton,
Stalybridge, Mottram, Glossop, Hyde, and Stockport,
the mills, with one or two trifling exceptions, are all
standing ; and the great majority of the work-people
have not manifested the slightest inclination to resume
their employment, except on terms which are not only
inadmissible, but utterly absurd, seeing that their em•
ployers must compete in the market with those who are
paying the present rate of wages. How long the work-
men may be able to keep up this absurd and perfectly
hopeless struggle, it is difficult to say ; but, from all we
are- able to learn, we imagine that their resources are
pretty nearly exhausted.--Manchester Guardian.

The following is said to be an improved method of
killing fleas :—" Place the animal on a: smooth board,
and pen him in with a circular hedge of shoemaker's wax,
then, as soon as he becomes quiet, commence reading to
him the doings of Congress 'during the present session,
and in five minutes he will burst with indignation.—
American Paper.

EXCISE COURT.—On Saturday informations were
laid before the Commissioners against Mr. George SNvin-
burn, Falcon-square, and Mr. Samuel Mullins, Iron-
monger-lane, Cheapside, lodging-housekeepers, for selling
wines and spirits w►thout a license. Mr. Platt appeared
on behalf of the Crown, and the defendants were sup-
ported by Mr. Bodkin and another Learned Counsel.
In such cases as the present, the difficulty of obtainim-,,
evidence is great ; therefore the officer (Mr. Ray) had
to resort to the stratagem of taking lodgings in the
houses of the defendants, and by those means he saw
what was going on, and was one amongst the many to
partake of the excise and other luxuries. The defend-
ants were ordered to pay 501. each.
