A sure criterion may be gathered of the prosperity or
otherwise of the working claases in this town, from the
circumstance that, twenty years ago, the custom o wear-
ing clogs but partially prevailed ; whilst now, when wages
are very low, the adoption of them seems to be almost

general, on account or mew kaog-snops nr.ve,
therefore, greatly accumulated in number throughout the
borough, whilst shoe-shops have as gradually decreased
with the downward rate of wages.—Sfockport Advertiser.
THE RULING PASSION.—A young female, named Mary
Clifford, (of the class denominated " unfortunates,") was

brought up at the Borough Court, Manchester, yesterday
week, before Mr. Hodgson, charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct in the streets ; and when the ma-
gistrate asked if she had ever been in custody on a similar
charge before, the answer of Inspector Livingston was—
" Yes, sir, she has been here 140 dines !" She was fined
2s. 6d., or three days imprisonment, with a promise of
three months on her next visit. _ . _ _

On Thursday the inquest was held. The jury visited
the hall, viewed the bodies, and were shown by the do-
mestics the mode in which the murders were committed.
The only evidence gone into, related to the identity of
the deceased. The elder Mr. Jermy was stated to be
69, and his son 30 years of age. The condition of Mrs.
Jermy created much apprehension ; amputation of the
arm having been performed. The lady's maid was not
expected to survive. . .

The murderer, there is no doubt, intended to assassinate
the whole family, and he succeeded in shooting at them
all, except a daughter of the younger Mr. Jenny, a beau-
tiful child three years of age. wno escaped. It is supposed
the murderer had been for some time past watching an
opportunity to effect his murderous design, and that he
