I n our report of the House of Lords, on Friday, Lord

Clifden.
We are informed that his Majesty has said he wi .1 not
resume his acquatic excursions in the Royal George

the 12th of next mouth.—(llanspehire Telegraph. )
It appears by the Glasgow papers that the dispute be-
tween the operative cotton spinners and their employers
is not yet terminated. The subject of the dlfterence is,
we understand, shortly this :—The masters insist that
they shall be masters in their own works, and hare the
power of retaining and dismissing such servants as they ,
consider it their interest to dismiss or retain. 'lke Cotton
Spinners, on the other hand, insist, that the masters and
proprietors shall, whenever called upon by theta, turn
away any individual or individuals, without any reason
being adduced, and however faithful and deserving the
masters ns ty consider such servants. The inasters,we learn,
have come to the resobttion to take back none of the spin-
ners, unless every one comes under an agreement, that
such unreasonable demands are renounced by the spin-
ners.
A forgery has been d.leeted upon both the guinea and
20s. notes of Sir ‘Viiliaus Porbes and Co. of Edinburgh.—

(Carlisle Jona..mai )
We are authorised to say that the statement ?...tich ap-
peered in this paper on the 7th instant, relative to a forgery
on the notes of the Leith Banking Company is incorrect,
and that there is no forgery on any of their notes. The in-
formation was given to us by a correspondent on whose ac-
curacy we have been accustomed to rely • but who, in this
instance, hos led us into an error.—(lbiri.)
CONFLAGRATION.—MANY TIIOCSAND Pou:vos WORTH
or BANK NoTes CONSUSIED.—Last night, about the boor
of 12 o'clock, a strong sensation of alarm was excited in
the city, bv the appearance of reflection of a great tire, V.
companietl by innumerable sparks which illuminated the
heavens in that part of the sky, apparently over College-
green or Fleet-street. " W here is the lire r—" Whose
house is it ?"—were the questions that 'vety one asked,
but no one could answer. They were all in the dark as
to these queries; still the lire raged, and every sud-
den burst of same called forth an acclamation from
some gaping individual by the Liffey-wall. " liod
hless,me it's dreadful—oh! mother of. Moses look at it now."
Some inspired if the fire hells were beard; all answered.
no; Others asked if any engines had been seen going to ex-
tinguish it; still the answer was is the negative. At length
the riddle was at last solved, by its being stated that the re-
flection of the fire which had been seen was occasioned by the
burning of the old casein-ten Bank notes, at the Rank of
Ireland, where a kiln has been erected for the purpose. Al-
though the amount of BANK NOTES consumed were consider-
able, (six cart loads, we understand,) yet it is pleasant to
know, that no loss of property was sustained ou this cots-
sion.—(Dablin Morning l'osi of Saturday.)
