in 3 days :—" We have bad a very severe contest here
ketween our garrison and inhabitants and a corps of the
French army, which advanced against this place on the
15th and i6th ; after leaving driven in the forces, we bad
marched• oat to oppose their progress. On their apo
proacking the works they were received with a Omen.
'loos cannonade, which did them much injury; and be.
fore they could recover themselves, the garrison made a
desperate sally, and some severe fighting ensued, which
cost the French upwards of 600 men. The cannonade
was kept up during the whole of the 16th with great
spirit, end during the 17th the French made several
attacks, which were repulsed by the garrison with gnat
slaughter. I nleading the sally on the 16th, Sir Robust
Wilson bad his horse shot under him, and before lts
could be remounted, received a wound, which, however,
is not of a serious nature. On the 18th the French
commenced a very furious bombardment, whirls, how.,
ever, was not attended with much success, while the OW
of the garrison being well directed, killed and wound
a number of the enemy. Since that period the Freud
have withdrawn farther from the reach of the cannon,
and bare been employed in conveying away their,
wounded. The inhabitants joined most enthusiastically

that theremains received all the rites of decent Christian
burial, by the Rev. James Williams, Rector of lalanfair-

pounds in gold, and a few shillings and Irish tenpennies
were found in the breast pocket of the coat. Both skirts
'were torn off, and the clothes otherwise much torn by the
rocks or weather, and no clue whatever left that would

most secluded one, and the person that found it a very
poor man, be immediately made the circumstance knows,
and brought the money to the cearest respectable
farmer. The scrupulous honesty with which, in this, as
in the other 29 eases, all the property of the unfortunate
sufferers found was given up, entitles the poor fisher-
men to more credit than usually belongs to that class
on rocky and dreary coasts.—(Linerpool Advertiser.)
A eorrespondent in the Leeds Ifereary says—" The
prospect of a speedy return of the Barnsley weavers to
their employment is brighter this week than it was lot
A few took out work from the master-manufacturers on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and during the present
week the example has been so generally acted upon, that
%before its close there is every probability that all will be

commenced work have experienced interruption from
