GLASGOW, OCTOBER 12.

OPERATIVES.—The cottort-spinners still hold out.
The calenders have taken in a number of new hands,
who readily learn the business, so that the most refrac-
tory of the old bands are and will be altogether ex-
cluded. The colliers are in commotion, to the great
advantage of the coal proprietors in the Ayrshire and
other distant coal districts. The weavers in the country
towns, since those in this place refwed work, are most •
actively empllyed. Solicitations fur work from the:
most distant pans are pressed upon the manufacturirs
in this city, and so indignant are they at the attempts. at-
ambulating delegates to bring them into associations.%
that, in several villages, were they to make their appear-
ance, we learn they would be tossed in the nearest river
or stoned. A great complaint on the part of the
weavers, who first began the strike, is against those wh¢.
are carrying the trade to Ireland. This they cannot,
and have no right to prevent.—Glasgow Courier.
EFFECTS OS COMBINATION.—Another murder has
resulted from those outrageous and disgraceful combina-
tions, in which many trades are led to embark, evi-
dently to the injury of the best interests of the body, at
the risk of their own lives, and the well-being of their
families. A few days ago a sawyer, in Dublin, named
Philip Ready, was dreadfully attacked and desperately
wounded by combinators, said to be a party of sawyers.
He died in Stephen's Hospital, on Saturday, from the
effects of the injuries he received, and his slayers will
have to take their trial for his murder.

JURY Comm—Among other objections to this Court,
which have been published in the resolutions of the
Elgin Michaelmas Head Court, it is stated, u that there
are no less than seven well paid clerks to conduct the
business of a Court which tries annually about thirty-
three causes."

HORRIBLE MURDER.--It is stated in the Paris Papers,
that a horrible assassination has been committed in the
wood of Vincennes. A Paris Lady, of the name of
Herrin, had two boys, the one five and the other six,
boarded in Vincennes. She was in the habit of fre-
quently visiting them, and accompanying them in their
walks. Sunday last, having called at the house where
they lodged, and got them dressed in their holiday
clothes, she went out with them, and directed their
walk to the wood.- During their, promenade; the chil-
di en were accosted by a Lady, who praised their beauty,
and kissed them with apparent tenderness. A few mo-
ments afterwards, a man about 40 years of age, dressed
in a blue great coat, came out of the wood, and ap-
proached Madame Herrin, who held her boys in her
hands. Like the strange Lady who immediately pre-
ceded, he pretended to admire their beauty, and kissed
the eldest, who immediately screamed Mamma,
Mamma." The wretch had plunged a knife in the throat
of this child ; and while the mother was looking for the
cause of his screams, the assassin took the opportunity
of dispatching the other. The piercing cries of the
wretched mother soon attracted some passengers, and
the gendarmerie almost instantly came to the spot. A
suspected person was arrested shortly afterwards. The
history of the criminal and the motives of the crime are
as yet undisclosed. That the atrocity was premedi-
tated, is evident from the known concert between the
murderer and the monster who " betrayed his victims
with a kiss," and from the previous inquiries which had
been made about them in the village where they were
boarded. The two children expired instantly.
The following notice is a literal copy of the ori-
ginal, which was published in a village not many
miles distain from Exeter:—" And all the Bakers
In the parish of B— and all The Millers and all
The Shopkeepers and all The publicans and all the
haglers you are desired to keep Your Weight and
Measure Else there shall Be and heavy, Fine lard
