Scarcity Of Laborers.-T The Roscom-

iremoly scarce in that locality. and so ex-
teusive is the demand for them, that not
a single able. bodied psuper over Is years
of ago has remained in the work house.
The present average wages are from Is.

TIE Lock CoNTRovERsY.-W re-
ference 10 the lock controversy, we are
glad to hear that Messrs Bramah intend
raising no capiious objections at the a.
werd Of the srblrators, having deter
mined to pay Mr.. Hobbs the two hun
dred guineas reward offered by them.
The lock picked has teeu taken to piec-
es and carefully examined. The slide
plates with which tine interior is provid-
ed shows at several points the operation
Of file, which Mr.. Hobbs probaly used
in order to render the action Of the key
when Introduced certain one or two of
them are also slightly bent. This. they
cortend, could not have been done if the
plates in question had been steel instead
Of soft iron. In all their recent locks
steel hes been used, but the lock opened
was made fifty years ago, and has hung
in their shop window ever since with the
general challenge attached TO it. Not
Ouly in the material of the slide plates,
but also in the key hole, Messrs. Bramah
contend that Mr. Hobbs had an advan-
tage, the latter being much larger than
their present make. and giving the A
merican extra facilities for the use Of his
picking instruments. Messrs. Bramah
strongly protest against the insinuation
,ha, their lock had been prepared for the
recent trial. asserting that it had not been
takeu to pieces previously for thirty FIVE
years; aud they express their confident
expectation that in fortnight their pat
ent will again he exhibitedin their shop
