CoTToN MILLs SToPPED.-We learn
from the Providence Journal that II
mills containing 5,40l looms, in the vicin-
iiy oflha, city, have been stopped. Many
OF these were manufacturing printing
cloths. The Msnville Mills are running
half time. The mills at Paw;ucke, are
running short time. The mills Of C. &
w. Rh"les. at Naitck. are running out
and will stop in few weeks, and many
other mills are preparing to stop. The
high prlee"f cotton is the alleged cause
PENNSYLVANIA CoPPER AND Lead
We learn that an extensive copper and
lead tOrmeIlon has been discovered in
This State, near the Schuylkill river. and
only about twenty miles fiom this city;
and the extent of the metal is, from pres
ent appearances, such as TO warrant The
expectation Of very large business a.
rising out oft. Some of the veins have
been successfully worked within the past
year. The COPPER ore is said To bear a
striking resemblance To that Of the c rn-
wall and Cuba mines. The average
yield of 1000 tons has been 90 per cent.
of pure copper. The lead and silver
ore which is also abundant. has been as
sayed. and carries abou, rs per cent. of
lead. and will yield of silver about $35
To the ton. The Perkiomen mine, which
is near the newly discovered veins, has
been worked to the depth of about 800
feet and more than quarter of a mile
in length. ,S64.0 900 have already been re-
ceived for ore. and about four hundred
tons more have beer mined but not sent
to Market Phil. Bulletin

present he is disgracing elf in India.
Since the close the Sikh war, the troops
have fallen into a slate Of such disorder,
that Sir Charles Napier. their late com.
manler, has more than once called them
disgrace to humanity. Lately, at AL
ipore, native village resented some in
suits to its wnmen. In revenge for this
the officers permitted areckless mob Of
soldiers to sack the place. Houses were
pulled down; women publicly ond iDgno-
minmnsly stripped; the rings which fe.
males there wear in their noses were fore
bly, torn away; and one young woman-
whose condition should have made her arr
object of peculiar sympathy. was brutal
lyrun through with a bayonet. so hat she
died. These atrocities are hitherto uD.
| paralleled, al least in the nineteenth CEN
tury. After this we wish to hear no more
about American affairs from our transat-
lantic neighbors.
