FOREIGN NEW s.

London papers to the 10th Nov. have been
received in New York. They are unusual
ly barren of news. A few items are annex
cd.
The REFORM BILL continues to be the
chief subject of interest i'll England. The
hope that the Lords will assent to It's pas
sage is utterly abandoned by the Journalists.
The Times, the leading reform paper, de-
clares that in 4 creation Of Peers is the only
resource, and joins the other papers IN de-
handing that measure Of the Ministry. The
Ministry have taken no steps as ye> That IN
dictate an intention to resort TO II, anu, SO
far as the press and the people can ascer-
tain, have done nothing whatever since the
propagation of Parliament to secure OF facll-
ita.s the passage of the bill. Not Peer
nor Bishop is known to be gained over,
and the Tories exult more loudly every day
in their prospects. As Ia natural consequence
the confidence of the people IN the ministry
is shaken, and the journals declare emphat-
ically that an immediate creation OF Peers
alone can restore its frmness.
The latest London papers contain specn-
lations on certain reports of change OF
Duke Of Wellington at its head. The ru-
mors were not, however, traced to autheE-
tic sources, but it is said the Tories expect
to obtain the reins of government, and to ex-
tinguish excitement-the Reformer RS declare
that even in case of change OF Ministers
there would be no change of policy, and Tor
"the simple reason-there cannot. MIN
istry not pledged TO full and efficient re-
form could not hold office week; they
would instantly be driven out of power by
the force of public opinion, or by another
description of force equally efficient, though
not quite so agreeable"
Sir Charles Wetherell had declared his
intention not to return to Bristol in his judi.
cial capacity. The citizens had sent me-
mortal to government, expressing their opin'
ion that he ought Immediately to surrender
his Office as Recorder Of that City, or ia
withdraw himself from the field Of politics
or otherwise there will be neither peace MOI
safety among the citizens.
Letters from Lords Grey and Althorp al e
published, acknowledging the receipt of the
address of the county of York, signed by
140,275 names.
Parliament was to meet on the 9Th De-
cember.
The CHOLERA. 1t is certain that there
had been disease of violent character al
Sunderland, but it was disputed whether ii
was the Indian Cholera or not, and there
had been heath from similar disease at
Newcastle.
GREECE is in a critical situation. The
inhabitants of Mama are preparing to march
against Napoli, to deliver the family Of Nav
rcmichaiis.
1t is said that fresh negotiations in regard
to Greece having been opened by the con-
ference at London.
There was tremendous storm of hail al
Constantinople and along the Bosphorus, on
the 5th ofSeptember, which did much dam
age.
The Chamber of Deputies Of Baden re-
ceived on the 9th Oct, a petition signed
by 25s Catholic Priests, praying the aboli-
| tion Of celibacy.

TO PRoPRIEToRs OF COTTON FAC
TORIES

The Convention of the Friends of American
Industry, which was held in New York, on the
goth Of October last, adopted such measures as
were deemed by the members Of il, the best
calculated TO impress upon their fellow citizens
and upon the government, tho importance OF
cherishing and protecting the Agricultural
Mechanic, and Manufacturing interests of the
country. For these purposes sundry resosu-
tons were passed, of which, perhaps, the most
important were those appointing COMMITTEE s
to collect information and report the amount II
capital and :.umber of persons employed on he
various productions of American Industry, with
such other facts as would be material TO ena be
the government to judge Of the Importance Of
the several branches of manufactures, &c, car
ried on in our country.
A Committee was appointed 10 report on the
production and manufacture of cotton, con, sist-
inc of sixteen members from various States.
The undersigned, the Committee for Ma ssa-
chusetts and Vermont. sent out, in Noven her
last, circulars to all the manufactures Of wi lich
they had any knowledge, with queries, VIII ich,
if faithfully answered, would enable the Com
mttee TO give a full and true account of the
cotton manufactures in those two States
The number of circulars sont out was 1853,
to which only So answers have, as yet, heen
received.
The Committee earnestly request Those cot
ton manufacturers, who have not rep lied to
their inquiries, TO do so without delay, that
they may be enabled TO make their report in
season to have it published, during tie pr osent
10 manufacturers, most important sessi on Of
Congress.
Should the Committee have omitte d any
mandatory in the distribution of their circu
lars, the agents of such, are respectful lily re-
quested to notify either of the undersign ed, and
the error shall be corrected.
The manufacturers must be fully ware Of
the Importance to all concerned, and, o., course
to each individually, of giving TO the govern
ment true account OF the capital en- Iployed
and of the number of persons supported, in car
rying on this important branch of American
industry, with the quantity and value Of The
materials used in the manufacture. Your Com
mittee are satisfied, if this information, can b.
obtained and published that our cuisines will
maintain, as compared with others, tn rank t.
which-it is Justly entitled, and that its impor
lance will be justly estimated by our iello W cit
/ liens and the government.
| 1t lie useless for the Committee to MAXI, up
a report unless it contains an account of all, O
nearly all, the manufactures in the country.
| Editors in this State aud in Vermont, friend
to the cause, are requested to give this MOTTO
in their papers Patrick T. JACKSON.

carrying food to the prisoners, on Sunday last,
at about half past 3 o'clock, P. NJ, he WAS seiz

in pursuit; one Of the criminals was IA ken in
the course of an hour, and able and fesolu te men
were in close pursuit of two more when night
set ill., There can be but little chance for their
final escape. Two of them, named Waits on and
Sweet, broke Jail about two months sim &c, and

EMIGRATION TO LIBERIA. On the 18th
inst. the schooner Crawford, Capt. w. H.
Taylor, sailed from this port for Liberia,
with twenty one emigrants from Kentucky.
The Crawford takes out large supply of
merchandise, books, medicines &c. &C., for
the use Of the colony. The expedition sails
under the superintendent of DR.. Charles
G. Shave of Cincinnati, a talented and wor
thy young gentleman, who volunteered his
services, and gratuitously gives them to the
colonlzing enterprise.
We have understood that there was one
hundred more applicants for passages
on board the Crawford, with view to f.
nal settlement in Liberia, but arrangements
could not be made in time to accommodate
such number. 1t is, however, expected
that they will sail for that port early in the
spring. Not drop of spirits of any kind,
we have understood, was taken out by the
Crawford, not even for the medicine chest.

TRIAL FOR PoIsoNING. The lad named
Miller Smell, was tried before the Mum cipal
Court in Boston on Saturday last, for loois-
oning the family of Deac. Noyes. The Bos-
ton Courier says. "The evidence us to the
poisoning and the confession of the crime,
were conclusive. The defence set up was
that the lad did not intend to commit rnur-
der. Judge Thatcher, however, instr u,:ted
the jury that an offender was accoun table
for the consequences of his crime, alth ough
he might not have anticipated them. The
lad was convicted; but the jury recommend
ed him to mercy on account of his youth
he is less than fifteen years of age. AN i'm
prisonment Of more or less duration, is, we
understand, tie only punishment to whicls
he is liable. There are still five or six in
dictments against him."

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY. During. vis-
it which the editor made to RockiI, CHAM
court house few days since, he learnt from
several respectable citizens of that place,
that there was man by the name of James
Sanders, living within three miles of the
court house, who had attained to th e re-
markable age of one hundred and Sc renteen
years. He was bern in the lower part of
the Province, (now the State of Virginia
during the reign of Queen Ann. Ile has
been twice married his last wife dlsed ma
ny years since. He has nine childre n the
oldest upwards Of eighty, the 20 ungest
forty-five years of age. He was too far adj
vanced in life during the revolutions ry war
to perform military duty. He former y used
spectacles in reading, but can now res, I'd the
smallest print without them. HIS hair after
having been almost white for more than
thirty years, has lately turned of dark col
or. He has distinct recollection of occur
rences that took place in his youth, bat not
Of late events. He is in the enjoyment of
good health, and able to walk about the
plantation on which he lives. He was new
er Incorporate, though he occasionally
drank spirits. He was the first settler of
Rockingham county. He has great many
descendants living, the precise number the
editor could not learn.-Spectator.

INFLuEEzA. The evils Of bad thing are Of
ten undervalued by means of favorable name
and the influenza might safely bear a more
alarming title. Its title sounds no alarm, it
sounds softly and Italian like y; but it is wolf
in an unsuspcous garb, and able, therefore, to
do the more mischief. The influenza, howev-
er, seems not only to be the foundation of pull
monary and other diseases, but is able of itself

New YEAR's DAY. The House. of the
President of the United States, was thrown
open for the reception of visitors, &C ording
to usage, on Monday. Private advices from
Washington, and such as may be depended
on, inform US that the levee, though an i'm
provement upon that of Christmas, was a
very sorry affair. 1t is supposed that about
one hundred ladies attended, and about one
third of the members of Congress. The
better portion, however, went, not to pay
their respects to the President, for such a
thing is scarcely thought of by those ac-
quainted with the true state of things at the
capital, but 20 see the sport-anticipating an
other Christmas row. There was conse-
quently large collection of people ; but,
we are glad to find, that there was less dis
order, although there was enough of vul-
garty to satisfy every patriot in the palace.
Mr.. Clay, now before the People for the
Presidency, received the visits of great
number of his friends, residents and stran-
gers, amongst whom the Working Men
Of Washington were not less numerous
than any other class, nor less kindly and
respectfully received, many of them availing
themselves of this public day to take him by
the hand.
A number of Ladies and Gentlemen also
paid their respects to the Ex-Presdent of
the United States and his lady, at the resi-
dence of his son, Mr.. John Adams, and were
cordially received. By the way, the Rich
mond Enquirer has at length discovered,
that "perhaps there is no man in Congress
who has it in his power to render more pub
lie service at the present important session,
than john Q. Adams."-.E Y. Com. .4du.

THE WEATHER. We have experienced for
some time past all the seventies OF a northern
winter. So intense has been the cold, accom-.
panied with biting winds and sleet, so unusual
to this climate, that most of our citizens have
been more or less sick and in many instances
valuable lives have been lost. Our accounts
from all parts of the country state that the win
ter had set in with more than usual Sc verify.
The Cumberland river, Mt Nashville, is com.
pletely frozen over, so as 10 admit of crossing
by passengers on the ice. The temporary
bridge thus afforded, is said, moreover, to be Of
more solid character than any similar one
since the winter of 1885, The Nashville
papers Of late date mention that the snow lies
about ten or twelve inches deep in the neigh.
borhood and that during the previous fortnig ht,
the thermometer has frequently sunk below
zero.
Snow fell 10 the depth of three feet at Wa.
tertown, Jefferson county, N. Y, on the 18th
and 18th Dee. Such fall Of snow, 90 early in
the season, is Unprecedented.
The Cincinnati American states that the ice
on the Ohio River, at that place, was so strong
that loaded teams pass over upon il. And nnoth-
or paper SAYS that il is more than foot thick.
Coct. Hall, physician Of st. JOHNS, New
Brunswick, was frozen to death IN his cabriolet,
about a fortnight ago, while on his return I, ON
a night visit to a sick patient.
Snow was 10 or 10 inches deep in Nashville,
Tenn, at the last accounts, and the Cumber.
land river was crossod on foot.

MASSACHUSETTS BANKS The sscreta-

MASSACHUSETTS, BANKS. The Secreta-
ry Of State has prepared an abstract for the
use of the Legislature Of the returns of the
condition of the banks of this State, on the
first Saturday of October last. 1t will be
recollected that these returns are required
by law to be made under oath, from the
books of the respective banks, on any Sat
urday of the year to be subsequently desig-
mated by the Governor and Council. The
object of this provision is that The return
may serve as far as possible as m index Of
the ordinary condition of the banks, and not
of condition prepared for the purpos.. by
a curtailment of discounts, or any other
change of the usual course of operations.
From the abstract now presented it ap-
pears that at the date of the return there
were 20 banks in operation, with an ag-
gregate capital of $2l ,439, 800. This capt.
tai has been since increased by the addition
of one bank in Boston, one in Lowell, and
one in Nantucket.
The aggregate capital of20 Banks in Bos
ton embraced in the return is S13600,000.
These 90 Banks had in deposit S4C27 500,
on interest, and $2,77S,766 not on interest,
and had bills in circulation to the amount
of S3,454,275. They had on hand S5!5, 00S
in specie, and S23, 4ol ,2l6, IN paper dis
counted, stocks, and other debts, exclusive
of balance due from other Banks.
The aggregate capital and debts of the
20 Banks, including bills in circulation, de-
posts, &C., was Sal 1893 0e3, viz capital as
above stated, bills in circulation S7,739, 3l7,
ne: profits on hand $734, 3l2, balance due
to other banks $2,477,615, cash deposited
not hearing interest 81, 401 ,965, and depoS-
ties hearing interest S4,550,947.
The amount of resources of the 20 banks
was $4l ,445,700. including gold and silver
in the several Banks S9l9,959 Real Es-
tate 1858, 306; Bills of Banks in the State,
1,104,567; Bills of Banks out of the State,
S270,607; balances due from other Banks,
81, 427 ,679; notes, bills Of exchange, and all
debts to the Banks, except balances from
other Banks $36,040,76l. The amount Of
the last semi-annual dividend was 1856, Z Is
equal to 3 percent. within trihing fraction.
The amount of debts secured by pledge
of stock was $752,3l2, and the amount oil
debts considered doubtful, S268,6S8.
