SEIZURE EXTRAORDINARY AT DUBLIN

PROM THR FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.

Yesterday (Sunday). about half-past one o'clock, 0*
LORD MAYOR and Sheriff PERRIN entered a public.
house in North King-street, where they surprised op.
wards of one hundred and twenty men, about seventy of
whom made their escape; fifty-one were found secreted
in various parts of the house, and seven on the roof.
Great resistance was made before they could be secured,
which was not-erected till the Military Guard stationed
at Newgate came to his Lordship's assistance. It isuot
yei ascertained what the object of so numerous =as-
semblage would have been in one house. The penes
committed are principally from the neighbourhood of
Glasnevin, Finglass Bridge, and St. Margaret's.

PROSPERITY OF THE-COUNTRY

--~--

It may be supposed that the increase in the exporta-
tion of cotton yarn has been somewhat proportionate to
the increased consumption of cotton, but a very con•
siderable part of the increase may be attributed to the
great demand for manufactured goods. There certainly
never was any period of fuller activity in the maanfac•
tuning districts than the present; and although com-
plaints may be heard of the badness of trade, it is gene.
rally confessed, even by the complainers, that a very
great quantity of goods is sold. In consequence of the
great abundance of capital, and the steadiness of pekes
and lessening of risk which follow a regulated and
understood demand, the profits of business have talks
considerably, and people are apt to innagine,that less b
done because less profit is made.
It may be found, however, by incsuiry amongst mane.
facturers, that the amount of their sales is very little
diminished; and when we take into consideration the
many articles in the cotton trade are not irboie half tie
price they were a few years back, we most suppose that
a great increase in the demand has taken place. The
cotton manufacturers of Lancashire are not precisely on
the same footing as they are in Scotland: Credits in
England are shorter, and there is less speculation ; for
where a man'risks his own money he is generally mere
cautious than when he risks the money of another. The
trade is also more direct. The manufacturer in Lan-
cashire makes a direct sale. The Glasgow manufacturer
consigns to a greater extent ; and, although large
profits may occasionally be made by the latter, be is
liable to much greater risk. Hence trade in Glasgow
may fluctuate, while in Langashire it remains steady.—

We are,happy to learn that the value of land, width
has been so long and so severely depressed, is now be-
ginning to recover itself, and to bear some proportiell to
the relative value of money. We understand that *flee
the inquiries about the purchase of land have becomes
frequent than for some years past ; • and we know, tIIK
a property in Fife, having no advantage from loutish,.
ation, soil, or climate, was sold last week-at a pries
meal to thirty years purchase its supposed inallei
value.—Fife Herald. ,
