PEMBROKE. DEcoosaa 16.

It is at length determined on by Government to re•
move the Waterford Packet Establishment from Milford to Hobs'
Point, near his Majesty's Deck-yard, Earl Cawdor having received
a letter from she Treasury, stating that the objections to their
removal; which had been raised by some individuals who were
examined before the Committee of the House of Commons, were,
considered as futile; and that, consequently, orders would be irrt.l
mediately issued for the erection of a Pier for the accommodation
of the.packets. It, is the opinion of the most experienced as well'
as uninterested persons,that Government have wisely bled on the
Most eligible spot for the future establisbnient of the Irish Picket
Station. The expense of building the Pier will be very trilling;
and win be amply repaid by the increased value of the land, which
all belongs to Government in the neighbourhood of the Dock-
yud,,apd 01,.which they have 'lately gone to great expense in
erecting a market.pi..ce.

into PartiaMent for the better regulation of the parish expendiitire,
was held on Wednesday night at Mr. Cauvea rooms, Pall-maU.
The meeting was addressed at considerable length by Mr. Fouts
and Mr. Ilscairr, of Golden.square; and resolutions for the 'ippon
of the Bill were unanimously passed.
' By a letter •feceried: in Palley, dated October 20.
1828, from a mason who bad emigrated to Six-
tersville, tim:thfield, Rhode Island, North America,
we learn the following, particulars :-46 I am in good
employment afirresent, but in winter 1 have no work
at pay trade, owing to the severity of. the weather,
so that the wii-ter eats up the earnings of the sim-
mer. Wages are extremely low heie and boat dial
very high; and when one'job is done; I have often to
wait L.nie time and travel a considerable distance to'
set another, and am not always successful. With
tespect to your semoval to this country) I have vine
.doubte whether it would be for your advantage.' as i
'the wages in cotton factories are getting lower every
year, and the boasting account of the prosperous
*state of this country simply means, that the knave:7
are playing on the tools. Labourers when employed
get from half a dollar to three quarters a day. In fair
weather girls limn twelve to fourteen years of age;
average at water looms about two dollars a week..-a
great past of which most be taken in goOds and provi-
sions at high prices ;. and it is a rare circumstance to
see a silver dollar, as there is nothing but paper iii cir-
colation—the notes of which are oaten not worth the
cost of the paper on which their promises to pay ate
tecolded." , _
