Leicester. Woods and yarns are fully firm as
they were last week. The demand for goods is also
very fair, but still in anticipation; and, in conse-
quence of this, together with the state of the stocks
in the warehouses, and the natural Discrimination to
manufacture more largely in anticipation, in the pres
ent uncertain aspect of affairs, the manufacturers
have declined accedng 10 several requests that have
this week been made for an advance of wages A
great deal will necessarily depend upon the state of
the weather for the next few weeks, and the safe
getting in of the harvest, whether we shall have
prosperous autumn trade. We are glad TO find that
some few orders for hosiery have been received
from Sydney within these few days past.
AMERICAN STOCKS IN LoNpoN.--Snce the publ
cation of our paper for the Caledonia, the market
for American securities has undergone great I'M
provement; altogether better feeling prevails, and
more disposition exists for investment. The re-
ported intention of Pennsylvania to ''pay up,n has
had beneficial efie@ the stock exchanges of
London and Paris. We have before remarked, that
if the States which have paper current in the Eng
t,oh hair
punctuay there would be no difficulty in nego,iat-
ing American securities in London; and the prices
which now partly nominal, would not only be
real, but advance; and American bonds would be-
come article of constant investment by the Eng
sh capitalists. Some considerable business has
been done in Pennsylvania high 10. Our

EDWARD EVERETT
IRELAND
From the Dublin Evening Mail
STATE OF CAvAN.-TIaving devoted an article
else where the consideration of Ireland in general
we feel called upon to say few words in respect to
this Inflated country in particular. Disorder and
outrage continue to prevail, and augmentins IN
this once peaceable district.
Threatening notices are served on all the pro-
scrbed but loyal Protestant gentry, and upon those
exclusively, while the solemn occasion Of the asszes
did not prevent the service of those forerunners of
assassination upon members of the grand jury then
aiding the judges of the land in the administration of
the law. Meanwhile, insurgent regiments of the
armed peasantry parade their forces, and march
from point to point, filling the peaceabe and we'll
disposed inhabitants with dread, and setting all law,
civil and military, at open defiance.
In our last, we detailed, from the evidence Of an
eyewitness, the appearance, armament, and con-
duct of one of those nsurgent masses; and we have
now to report the encounter of detachment of that
body with party Of the consabulary, by whom
they defeated, with the loss of one killed
and three taken prisoners.
Part of the armed band of which mention
made in our last came into collision with the police
about IL O'Clock at Lavey, about five miles from
Cayan. The police stationed in that neighhorhood,
hearing the ehnuts nd Wells and occa frno
of shots, left their barracks for the purpose of pa
trolling in the direction from whence the noise
proceeded. On arriving at place called Lacken,
they saw a large body of men marching toward
them in military order, carrying pixies and pitch
forks.
The police, six in number, concealed themselves
behind the walls Of IA house. When portion of
this body had passed them, one of them was heard
to excaim, "Now is the time, boys, to throw off
the yoke" The police then rushed out, and made
three prisoners, two of whom carried pitchforks,
and one pole. The police then retreated with
their prisoners, closely pursued by the mob, shout
ing to each other to rescue the prisoners.
They repeatedly warned the people, in Gods
name, to stand back as they would not give up the
prisoners but with their lives. The multitude still
pressing upon them, and seeing that they must be
overpowered and their lives sacrificed, one of the
police fired, and a man fell. The mos then drew
back, and the police arrived in safety at their bar
racks. The wounded man died in SIX hours after
journed until tomorrow. The greatest excitement
prevails.
FRANCE.
The Deputies have passed the budget ofreceipts--
the last business Of the session--and their labors
are, therefore, brought to close. They adjourned
for some days, in order to give the peers time to
pass certain bills sent to the upper chamber; and in
all probability, the prorogation would then take
place.
The Chamber Of Peers had passed the Paris and
Lyons, and Lyons and Avignon railway bills The
Dieppe and Fecamp, and Avignon and AK branch
railway bills, is understood, would also be passed.
The Paris and Strasbourg line is to be postponed
till next session Files of the Oceanic FraScaise, a
journal published in Otahete, had been received in
Paris. The intelligence is more satisfactory than
usual. Captain Bruat appeared to be on good terms
with the English missionaries and the British officers
on the station.
