There has also been some alarm excited in tho
neighborhood Of Troubrldge, Wits, BY the conduct
and menaccs Of the workmen Of the woollen manu-
factories IN the vicinity The military were called

much distress among the cloth-workers of the West

has been gradually leaving that part Of the kingdom
Tor orkshre and Lancashire, whence foreign markets
ore more accessible, nnd where Goals atainabe on
easier and better terms.
The money mark ct in London has been subject to
very considerable fluctuations within the week past,
owing to the uncertainty IN which the public arc kept
as to the real state of the Kings health. The few
bulletins which have been issued speak of 'embarrass
ment in his breathing,-a sort of dubious express
sion' which leaving every thing to conjecture, gives
reason To suppose that His Maiestys health is so
oarious that the medical attendants do not know
whether he will live die. 1t is asserted that the
IIngs complaint is decidedly III the chest, und
that he s constantly supported in sitting posture

babe. Dropsy has been the final development of
disease in the two members of the royal family who
died the most recently, and the Kings person has
within the last year experienced very sensible re-
ductlon IN size, change which, in persons of advan-
ced age il frequently the immediate precursor of
dropsy. Besides which, oil the habits of his former
years were precisely calculated to bring OIL this dis.
order at period of life, and siXty-seven is not
too early age for il.

Salem .uurdeI. The Boston Courier says: eve
heard yesterday that the Salem Committee of Vpi-
lance, had made some further discoveries in relation
to the murder of MT White; the tendancy of which
is to mplcate others in the crime for which the
Crowninshieds held in prison. Two young men
were apprehended and imprisoned at Salem" We
have reason to fear from what we have heard, that
this bloody catastrophe will not be explained without
involving some individuals hitherto beyond suspicion.
