TURN OUT OF CALICO PRINTERS.

Mr. Cleave, the proprietor of the authentic report of Mr
Cobbett's trial, having very liberally placed 100 copies In
the hands of Mr. Doherty, editor of the Voice of the
People, for sale in aid of the journeyman's fond, Mr.
Doherty hes replied by the following intelligent letter (It

Dram Bta,-1 rejoice to find that you sympathize in the
saterinp and wrongs of as worthy and valuable a body of
men as any in his biajesty's dominions. The Calico
Printers are, without exception, the most intelligent and re-
spectable of any class with which lam acquainted. Ido
not, of course, measure their respectability by the length or

by their own intrinsic worth as a body of British artisan.,
who have always maintained themselves in respectability and
independence, by their industry. besid a creating large for.
knee for their employers. Those employers are now en-
deavouring. as has been done in other similar eases, to re-
duce their hands, if not actually to the poor cotton weaver's
water gruel, at least to a state very near approaching to it,
and I sincerely rejoice that even one friend has stept in to
endeavour to avert the blow.

The printers are now endeavouring to establish an eaten.
sive concern of their own. They expect, in the mune of five
wain weeks to be able to give employment to 200 or 300
hands, by their con capital, and by this means weaken the
power of their employers to injure them in future. Most
devoutly do I wish them success.
With regard to Mr. Cobbett's election, as things stand at
present, I ahosin say that his success is certain. His friends
are every day increasing, both in numbers and activity.
Theta is nothing, in my humble opinion, but the folly or
imbecility of the reformers themselves that can injure us.
If we set with judgment and unanimity, I am quite sere we

alderable amount. Mr. Brett stated, that last night, about
half past eleven o'clock. Ann Kirby, his niece, lammed
him that she mined a ilve.shilliog paper of halfpence from
his bedroom, and having reason to suspect the prisoner no

an extent that had excited suspicion, but which, until this
occurrence, based detection. Money had been frequently
missed from the counting-house. but Mr. Brett, fearful of
accusing any of his servants wrongfully, had quietly put up
with the loss until the present discovery ; and although he
did not wish to be any ways vindictive towards the primmer,
who had a family, he felt himself bound. In justice to
his own family and the public, and likewise as a cau-

'the officer, in corroboration of the facts, as far as they were
concerned, having been taken, the prisoner was asked, what
he had to say ? He merely said, the money was the produce
of his own savings, but did not attempt to account for the
ion of the liquor farther than by saying, Mr. Brett
rresiZeintly made him a present to take home.—Mr. Brett
said, be certainly did, but not such spirits as that found at
the prisoner's house.—The prisoner, who has hitherto borne
a most irreproachable character, was committed.

8,8801. per annum. The produce of 81 begs of wool,

By the sale of rams, bulk, and other stock in the colony,
added to the price of wools sold in ibis country, it was
